security program, and an alignment of the program with the NNSA and Departmental strategic plans and
relevant plans of the CIO.
The Y-12 cyber security program will ensure preventive maintenance measures for cyber security within
the Y-12 computing infrastructure. Also, Y-12 will establish a risk program to address the
implementation of wireless technologies site-wide. The Y-12 National Security Complex will
implement cyber protection measures consistent with national protection requirements.
Nonproliferation and Verification Research and Development
The Y-12 program supports the Nonproliferation R&D Simulation, Algorithm, and Modeling team
effort with assessment support. Additionally, the Y-12 program supports advanced materials analysis
and enrichment studies.
Fissile Materials Disposition (FMD)
The Y-12 FMD program supports disposition activities through the HEU Disposition Program Office. The
program also provides form conversions and packaging of surplus HEU for shipment to down-blending
contractors. The FMD program provides for planning and implementation of HEU disposition activities,
which include blending and transfer of off-specification materials to the Tennessee Valley Authority,
transfer of materials to Nuclear Fuel Services for down-blending associated with the Reliable Fuel
Supply initiative, MOX LEU Backup Inventory Project and the Research Reactor Sales Project, tracking
and evaluation of surplus HEU inventories, and planning for disposition of unallocated surplus HEU
material. The FMD program supports planning and implementing the disposition program in areas of
strategic and tactical planning, oversight, technical analyses, regulatory coordination, business
development and marketing, and coordination of interfaces among key participants and stakeholders.
The program also manages the design, certification, and procurement of shipping containers for surplus
HEU and plutonium.
Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI)
In FY 2012, the Y-12 National Security Complex will provide significant technical, scientific, and
management expertise to the three key subprograms of GTRI–Convert, Remove, and Protect–supporting
the comprehensive GTRI approach to achieving its mission to reduce and protect vulnerable nuclear and
radiological material worldwide, and denying terrorists access to nuclear and radiological materials that
could be used in weapons of mass destruction or other acts of terrorism. The Highly Enriched Uranium
(HEU) Reactor Conversion subprogram supports the conversion or verified shutdown of domestic and
international civilian research reactors and isotope production facilities from HEU to Low Enriched
Uranium. The Nuclear and Radiological Material Removal subprogram supports the removal and
disposal of excess, vulnerable nuclear and radiological materials from civilian sites worldwide. The
Nuclear and Radiological Material Protection subprogram supports the securing of international and
domestic buildings containing high priority nuclear and radiological materials worldwide from theft and
sabotage.
