Contents Background. -- NNSA Does Not Consistently Track and Document the Full Extent of Nonproliferation Technology Advancement, Transition, and Deployment. -- NNSA's Publicly Reported Program Measures Lack Clarity, and Improved Project-level Documentation Could Enhance Performance Assessment. -- DNN Programs Use Similar Five-step Processes to Select Research and Technology Development Projects. -- Conclusions. -- Recommendations for Executive Action. -- Agency Comments and Our Evaluation. -- Appendices.
Summary Nuclear proliferation is a national security threat. DNN's two research and technology development programs develop technical solutions to prevent nuclear proliferation. From fiscal years 2012 through 2015, these programs obligated over $1.1 billion on 511 projects. The DNN R & D program obligated over $1 billion of this amount. This report evaluates, among other objectives, (1) the extent to which projects managed by NNSA's research and technology development programs resulted in advanced, transitioned, or deployed nonproliferation technologies and (2) how NNSA measures the performance of its research and technology development programs and projects. GAO recommends that NNSA consistently track and document results of DNN R & D projects and document assessments of final project results against baseline performance targets.
