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; (b) is predicated on
Executive Orders; national standards; laws and regulations; 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 the components of a
comprehensive cyber security program; ensures alignment of the program with the NNSA and
Departmental strategic plans and relevant plans of the CIO.
Nonproliferation and Verification Research and Development
The SRS supports the Nonproliferation and Verification R&D program with: nuclear materials analysis
efforts (advance mass spectrometry developments, ultra-sensitive separation, and detection techniques);
characterization of nuclear materials; state-of-the-art scientific research to define improved effluent
collection systems; develops new and innovative proliferation detection technologies and analysis
capabilities supporting nuclear fuel cycle monitoring missions, nuclear forensics missions, and other
proliferation detection technology thrusts.
Nonproliferation and International Security (NIS)
The SRS provides support for conducting technical exchanges and technology development under the
Warhead and Fissile Material Transparency Program, Plutonium Production Reactor Agreement
implementation, and the development of nuclear transparency measures. In addition, SRS assists
technical analysis and technology development, and assists regional security efforts in policymaking and
negotiations regarding various nonproliferation and arms control regimes. The SRS program provides
reviews of export controlled equipment, materials and software, and foreign customers, and analytical
tools and technical references for use in developing recommendations on U.S. export licensing
applications, interdictions, international safeguards, physical protection, technology assessments, policy
support and nonproliferation assessments, multilateral outreach through support efforts for policymaking
and negotiations regarding various nonproliferation control regimes, and international cooperation,
primarily in the Former Soviet Union but increasingly in transit states as well. The SRS supports
development of safeguards, tools and methodologies such as International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA) environmental sampling and spent fuel monitoring techniques, as well as training to foreign
nationals as needed. The program also provides technical support on nuclear safeguards, safety, and
security to developing countries interested in nuclear power under the nuclear infrastructure
development efforts. The program provides instructors, curriculum development and other support for
export control outreach as well as analytical services in support of border security capacity building
outreach efforts and technical assistance support for nuclear forensics engagement program. The SRS
further participates in projects that engage former weapons of mass destruction (WMD) scientists and
engineers in civilian activity, redirecting their expertise to peaceful purposes and integrating them into
the larger international scientific business communities.
International Nuclear Materials Protection and Cooperation
The Materials Protection Cooperation and Accounting (MPC&A) program within INMP&C provides a
wealth of expertise through material accounting methodologies, specialized material verification
techniques, project and construction management for storage facilities, and language specialization.
This program has designed and developed computerized accounting systems that are currently operating
