 <title>Cooperative Threat Reduction: DOD Needs More Reliable Data to Better Estimate the Cost and Schedule of the Shchuch&apos;ye Facility</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>Until destroyed, Russia&apos;s stockpile of chemical weapons remains a
proliferation threat, vulnerable to theft and diversion. Since	 
1992, Congress has authorized the Department of Defense (DOD) to 
provide more than $1 billion for the Cooperative Threat Reduction
(CTR) program to help the Russian Federation construct a chemical
weapons destruction facility (CWDF) at Shchuch&apos;ye to eliminate	 
about 14 percent of its stockpile. Over the past several years,  
DOD has faced numerous challenges that have increased the	 
estimated cost of the facility from about $750 million to more	 
than $1 billion and delayed the facility&apos;s operation from 2006	 
until 2009. DOD has attributed the increase cost and schedule to 
a variety of factors. In this report, we (1) assess the 	 
facility&apos;s progress, schedule, and cost and (2) review the status
of Russia&apos;s efforts to destroy all of its chemical weapons.</abstract>
