The Department of Energy's (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is currently conducting four weapon modernization programs. NNSA manages its weapon modernization programs in coordination with the Department of Defense (DOD), which undertakes related work to modernize nuclear weapon delivery systems, including heavy bombers, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and submarine-launched ballistic missiles and the submarines that carry them. In addition, NNSA is managing numerous, multi-billion-dollar construction projects and related activities to modernize the infrastructure it uses to produce the components and materials needed for its weapon modernization programs. This report provides information on four areas related to NNSAs modernization activities: (1) funding for nuclear modernization activities, (2) comparison of modernization activities in budget materials for fiscal year 2021 and earlier, (3) affordability discussion in the Fiscal Year 2020 SSMP, and (4) implications of potential New START expiration for modernization activities.
