NNSA is responsible for the nation's nuclear weapons, nonproliferation, and naval reactors programs. Since its creation, NNSA has continued to experience security problems, such as unauthorized access to a NNSA unclassified computer system, and cost and schedule overruns on its major projects, such as the National Ignition Facility. GAO reviewed the extent to which NNSA has taken steps to (1) improve security at its laboratories and plants and (2) improve its management practices and revise its organizational structure. To carry out its work, GAO reviewed legislation; NNSA policies, plans and budgets; and interviewed current and former NNSA and DOE officials. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-36/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-36.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-36/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-36.pdf GAO-07-36 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-36 Other Written Product GAO-07-36; National Nuclear Security Administration: Additional Actions Needed to Improve Management of the Nation's Nuclear Programs; Agency evaluation Computer security Cyber security Financial management Interagency relations Laboratories Nuclear facility security Nuclear proliferation Nuclear weapons Physical security Planning programming budgeting Program management Safeguards Surveys Policies and procedures Nevada Test Site
