nuclear deterrence

Stockpile

The President and Congress have directed the National Nuclear Security Administration/Department of Energy to maintain the safety and reliability of the nation's nuclear deterrent without underground nuclear testing. In order to do that, DOE has established a program of science-based stockpile stewardship. Y-12 is an integral part of that mission.

We execute stewardship through refurbishment, dismantlement and surveillance of weapons in the nuclear stockpile.
