Security and Nuclear Counterterrorism
The FY 2012 Request continues to meet Administration and Secretarial priorities for Security and
Nuclear Counterterrorism (Defense Nuclear Security, Cyber Security, and Nuclear Counterterrorism
Incident Response) with the following emphases:
• Defense Nuclear Security (DNS) will provide protection from a full spectrum of threats, most
notably terrorism, for NNSA personnel, facilities, nuclear weapons through the use of protective
forces and physical protection systems;
• Supporting Cyber Security revitalization, certification and accreditation, and education and training
initiatives, and
• Providing nuclear emergency response assets in support of homeland security, and continuing
Research and Development efforts for Render Safe, in addition to concentration in collaborative
roles in countering nuclear terrorism in support of national security.

The FY 2012 Request continues the FY 2010 approach to funding security costs which provides direct
funding for the Defense Nuclear Security base mission program. The Defense Nuclear Security budget
continues to provide physical security protection from a full spectrum of threats. The budget request is
based on risk-informed decisions and is fully consistent with the Department’s Graded Security
Protection (GSP) policy. The trend through the outyear period allows for maintaining a security
protection posture compliant with the 2008 GSP, and will fund physical security system life-cycle
replacement initiatives, as well as, installation of state-of-the-art access control, alarm detection and
assessment, and other technologies needed to support the NNSA national security mission. Costs of
routine security for WFO will continue to be provided via an allocable share of the Safeguards and
Security expenses. Extraordinary security requirements for WFO projects will be direct charged to
those customers.
Cyber Security funding sustains NNSA’s information infrastructure and upgrades elements to counter
emerging cyber threats from external and internal attacks using the latest available technology.
Increased support to the Technology Application Development program supports the implementation of
risk mitigation processes enterprise-wide.
Nuclear Counterterrorism and Incident Response funding supports emergency management and
response activities that ensure a central point of contact and integrated response to emergencies
requiring DOE assistance and expertise, including the Nuclear Emergency Support Team, which
responds to nuclear terrorist threats.
