have a sufficient cadre of technicians and trainers to assume maintenance and sustainability of the
installed upgrades at all Russian Ministry of Defense sites; (3) infrastructure development, including
performance assurance and procedure development, and (4) site level maintenance of installed
MPC&A upgrades at these sites. The INMP&C will also provide additional MPC&A upgrades to
other SRF sites that will provide additional protection from theft and/or diversion of warheads from
these sites.

The Rosatom Weapons Complex program element improves the security of nuclear weapons and
materials at seven Rosatom nuclear weapons, uranium enrichment, and material processing/storage
sites, which are located within the closed cities of the Rosatom Weapons Complex. The Rosatom
Weapons Complex element primarily focuses on upgrades at seven large sites which have many
nuclear material storage and handling locations. The goal of this joint cooperative program is to
provide protection from internal and external theft scenarios at areas that handle highly attractive
material.
In FY 2012, INMP&C will continue to fund selective new upgrades to buildings/areas at these sites
that were added to the cooperative after the Bratislava Summit, including: (1) nuclear detection on
closed city borders; (2) expanded MPC&A upgrades at some buildings to address both outsider and
insider threats; (3) Rosatom protective force training center development; (4) improvements to sitewide
material measurement and accounting practices, and (5) internal site nuclear transport security.
The majority of this work is expected to be located at the All Russian Scientific Research Institute of
Experimental Physics (A-16), the Mayak Production Association, and the Mining and Chemical
Combine (K-26).
Significant efforts will be directed towards implementing a comprehensive MPC&A sustainability
effort at all sites to include: (1) efforts to improve MPC&A management infrastructures, (2) training,
(3) procedural development and adherence, (4) system maintenance and repair, (5) performance testing,
(6) configuration management, and (7) operational cost analysis. Where necessary, the program will
also finance the replacement of systems that were upgraded earlier in the cooperative agreement that
are at the end of their operational lifecycles.
Funding supports continued MPC&A activities outside of Russia, including sustainability activities at
nine sites in Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belarus, and Uzbekistan, and engagement with the International
Atomic Energy Agency to promote best practices related to nuclear material control, accounting, and
sustainability. Funding will also be allocated to the continued engagement with India on nuclear
material security best practices.
