Item description from seller

Format is approximately 6 inches by 9 inches. [2],30 pages, plus covers. Illustrations. Endnotes. This is the eighth in the series of Facing Reality documents. The Project for Participatory Democracy is an initiative of the Tides Center. One page press release/ephemera laid in. This report is based upon published government documents and the research efforts of independent experts and organizations. The Table of Contents includes: Introduction, Key Components of the DOE's "Science-Based" plan, Origins of a Misguided Policy, The DOE Rationale for its Program, Continuing Struggle for a Test Ban, Purposes of the Comprehensive Test Ban, U.S. Policy Contradicts Treaty Commitments, Stockpile Curatorship: A Sound and Sane Alternative, The Bigger Picture: Realistic Post-Cold War Planning, and What Citizens can do. One of NNSA's core missions is to ensure the United States maintains a safe, secure, and reliable nuclear stockpile through the application of unparalleled science, technology, engineering, and manufacturing. The Office of Defense Programs carries out NNSA's mission to maintain and modernize the nuclear stockpile through the Stockpile Stewardship and Management Program. Details about nuclear weapons, deterrence, and NNSA's management of the stockpile can be found in the Nuclear Matters Handbook and the current Stockpile Stewardship and Management Plan. Most nuclear weapons in the U.S. stockpile were produced during the 1950s and 1960s. At the time of their original production, nuclear weapons were not designed or intended to last indefinitely. Because the United States also voluntarily ended underground nuclear explosive testing, NNSA uses a science-based assessment of the reliability of nuclear weapons to assess and certify the stockpile without nuclear explosive testing, called the Stockpile Stewardship Program. NNSA's nuclear security enterprise is composed of a nationwide network of government-owned, contractor-operated national security laboratories and nuclear weapons production facilities. These facilities provide the necessary research, development, testing, and production capabilities needed to carry out stockpile stewardship. Part of keeping the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile safe and effective includes working with the Department of Defense, through the Nuclear Weapons Council, to maintain the quantity and quality of weapons necessary for U.S. national security needs.
