Mission
The Directed Stockpile Work (DSW) program contributes to national security by enhancing the safety
and security while ensuring the reliability of the nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile for a continued
effective deterrent, without underground nuclear testing. On behalf of the National Nuclear Security
Administration (NNSA), DSW provides the number and type of nuclear warheads and bombs (hereafter
referred to as warheads) to the Department of Defense (DoD) in accordance with the President’s Nuclear
Weapons Stockpile Plan (NWSP).
The nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile consists of warheads with an average age of 25 years. A
stockpile stewardship and management program ensures that all weapons in the stockpile remain safe,
secure, and reliable. This includes maintenance, surveillance, assessment, and life extensions as
necessary. The DSW program relays the state of health of the nuclear weapons stockpile through its
memorandums on Annual Assessment to the President and bi-annual weapons reliability reports to the
DoD. In addition, DSW supports nonproliferation goals and international commitments to eliminate
militarily available nuclear materials through the dismantlement and disposition of retired weapons and
weapons components.
