SupportingMeasure 2Cumulative percentreduction in projectedW76-1 warhead productioncosts per warhead fromestablished validatedbaseline, as computed andreported annually by theW76 Life ExtensionProgram (LEP) CostControl BoardFY 2011: Target 1%; Result 0.7%Did not achieve the annual target, based on the current recovery schedule. The cost savings realized forthe first quarter were consumed by ongoing resolution of technical issues associated with the W76-1production. For the MC4713 Launch Accelerometer, the cost savings were expended on additionaltechnical support, additional process analyses, acceleration of test equipment availability, and toolingprocurements to provide necessary mitigation for process variations (that will occur during long-termmanufacturing as in the W76-1 schedule) in order to continue fully supporting ramp-up to full scaleproduction and final steady state production.Performance Metric ExamplesNuclear MaterialMeasureGlobal Threat Reduction Initiative – cumulative number of highly enricheduranium (HEU) reactors converted or verified as shut down prior to conversionRussian HEU – cumulative metric tons of Russian weapons-usable HEU thatU.S. experts have confirmed as permanently eliminated from the Russianstockpile under the HEU Purchase AgreementDetection Technology – cumulative percentage of progress towarddemonstrating the next generation of technologies and methods to detectSpecial Nuclear Material movementFY 2011 ResultConvert or verified the shutdown of a cumulative 76 researchreactors, exceeding the annual target by 1. Four reactors wereconverted or shut down this year, 1 in China, 1 in Czech Republic,and 2 in Russia. To date conversion of these reactors has resulted inHEU avoidance of ~360/kg per year.Exceeded the annual target of 432 metric tons (MT), by 1MT, for atotal of 433MT by confirming the elimination of an additional 30MT of HEU. This provides assurance that weapons-grade materialis being eliminated from Russia’s stockpile and is no longeravailable for military use.Met the annual target of 80% cumulative progress towardsdemonstrating the next generation of technologies to detect SpecialNuclear Material movement. This result is important because itimproves U.S. capability to detect the illicit transport and diversionof special nuclear material.DOE FY 2011 Annual Performance Report 27
