| 03-14028 | Notice of Availability of the Draft Supplemental Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement on Stockpile Stewardship and Management for a Modern Pit Facility | Notice | The Department of Energy's (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is responsible for the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile, including production readiness to maintain that stockpile. Since 1989, the DOE has been without the capability to produce certified plutonium pits, which are an essential component of nuclear weapons. The NNSA, the Department of Defense, and Congress have highlighted the lack of long-term pit production capability as a national security issue requiring timely resolution. While a small interim capability is currently being established at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), classified analyses indicate that long-term support of the nuclear stockpile, which is a cornerstone of U.S. national security policy, will require a long-term pit production capability. Accordingly, the NNSA has prepared a Draft Supplement to the Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on Stockpile Stewardship and Management (SSM) for a Modern Pit Facility (MPF) [hereafter, that document will be referred to as the MPF Draft EIS], which is now available, in order to decide: (1) Whether to proceed with the MPF; and (2) if so, where to locate the MPF. This Notice of Availability also sets forth the dates, times, and locations for public meetings on the MPF Draft EIS. | 2003-06-04 | 2003 | 6 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2003/06/04/03-14028/notice-of-availability-of-the-draft-supplemental-programmatic-environmental-impact-statement-on | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2003-06-04/pdf/03-14028.pdf | Energy Department; National Nuclear Security Administration | 136,359 | The Department of Energy's (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is responsible for the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile, including production readiness to maintain that stockpile.
