Management of the Nuclear Weapons Production Infrastructure

Since the cessation of underground testing of nuclear weapons in the early 1990’s, the Department of Energy's responsibility to ensure the safety, security, and reliability of the nuclear weapons stockpile has been met through its Stockpile Stewardship Program. This program includes a wide range of activities: stockpile surveillance, stockpile maintenance, non-nuclear experimentation and testing, and computational simulation.
