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

The FY 2012 Energy Modernization and Investment Program (EMIP) will support priority energy
conservation projects that will reduce energy consumption, enhance energy independence and security
and provide life-cycle cost effective benefits. Projects that provide the most significant contribution
towards achievement of NNSA’s energy goals and result in cost avoidances/savings and social benefits
will be selected from the EMIP Integrated Prioritized Project List (IPPL) for execution.
Defense Nuclear Security
The Defense Nuclear Security program at LLNL provides laboratory protection measures consistent
with the requirements documented in its Site Safeguards and Security Plan (SSSP). In FY 2012, the
Program will continue to focus on movement of category I/II SNM from the SuperBlock to other
NNSA/DOE sites. To meet the 2012 de-inventory goal set by Defense Programs, LLNL will also
continue to focus on improving the efficiency of the security program, including modernization of the
security infrastructure and implementation of technology upgrades.
Cyber Security
The NNSA Cyber Security program implements a flexible, comprehensive, and risk-based cyber
security program that (a) protects the NNSA information and information assets as appropriate; (b) is
predicated on Executive Orders; national standards; laws and regulations; and Departmental and NNSA
orders, manuals, directives and guidance; and (c) results in a policy-driven cyber security architecture;
aligned with the NNSA Enterprise architecture; a programmatic framework and methodology that is
based on current policies and procedures; and a management approach that integrates all of the
components of a comprehensive cyber security program; and ensures alignment of the program with
strategic plans and relevant plans of the Chief Information Officer (CIO).
The LLNL cyber security program will continue implementation of a comprehensive self-assessment
program, effective risk management program and identify cyber security vulnerabilities and threats on
the unclassified computing infrastructure. Additionally, the program will implement networking and
system standards complex-wide.
Nonproliferation and Verification Research and Development
The Nonproliferation and Verification Research and Development program at LLNL develops
technology to improve national capabilities for detecting nuclear proliferation and nuclear detonations.
The program focuses on improvements to geographic models to locate and identify regional seismic
events and nuclear forensics to support nuclear detonation detection assessments. In support of
proliferation detection, LLNL develops remote sensing techniques for standoff detection and
identification of nuclear activities, radiation sensor technology, and various other exploratory
technologies. The program is the inter-laboratory coordinator on testing optical remote sensing
techniques for WMD proliferation detection and characterization; and is a recognized national leader in
developing hyperspectral instrumentation for standoff detection of gases and other materials over denied
areas.
Nonproliferation and International Security (NIS)
The LLNL provides support for conducting technical exchanges and technology development under the
Warhead and Fissile Material Transparency Program, Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) Purchase
Agreement Transparency Program policy implementation and development, Plutonium Production
Reactor Agreement implementation, and the development of nuclear transparency measures. In
