Department of Energy FY 2012 Congressional ... - The FIRE Place

sites. Whereas, at the three national weapons laboratories, RTBF Operations and Maintenance FY 2012
funding covers approximately 10 percent to 24 percent of the total Defense Programs budget. Providing
and maintaining a sustainable infrastructure is crucial to the success of the nuclear security enterprise.
The RTBF Construction subprogram is important to the continuity of capabilities for nuclear weapons
manufacturing and research and development mission requirements. Construction investments support
design and construction of facilities that support the nuclear security enterprise, improving the
responsiveness and/or functionality of the infrastructure and its technology base.
Annual Performance Results and Targets
The Department is in the process of updating its strategic plan, and has been actively engaging
stakeholders including Congress. The draft strategic plan is being released for public comment
concurrent with this budget submission, with the expectation of official publication this spring. The
draft plan and FY 2012 budget are consistent and aligned. Updated measures will be released at a later
date and available at the following link http://www.mbe.doe.gov/budget/12budget/index.htm.
