GAO assessed (1) DOE's reported accomplishments for the IPP program, (2) DOE's exit strategy for the program, and (3) the extent to which the program has experienced annual carryovers of unspent funds and the reasons for any such carryovers. To address these issues, GAO analyzed DOE policies, plans, and budgets and interviewed key program officials and representatives from 22 Russian and Ukrainian institutes. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-189/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-189.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-189/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-189.pdf GAO-08-189 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-189 Other Written Product GAO-08-189; Nuclear Nonproliferation: DOE's Program to Assist Weapons Scientists in Russia and Other Countries Needs to Be Reassessed; Federal funds Federal procurement Funds management Nuclear proliferation Nuclear weapons Performance measures Private sector Program evaluation Program management Risk management Strategic planning Weapons of mass destruction Program implementation DOE Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention Program Volume 107 Page 972-773 107 Stat. 972-773 Volume 113 Page 953 113 Stat. 953 Public Law 103-87 Public Law 106-65
