Summary
GAO has issued numerous reports on the effectiveness of the National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation (DNN) programs. For this report GAO was asked to assess (1) the extent of annual DNN uncosted, or unexpended, balances; (2) the level of financial support from foreign donor and recipient governments to the DNN programs; (3) the effectiveness of DNN program performance measures; and (4) the coordination of DNN and other agency nonproliferation programs.
Contents
Background -- Some DNN programs have had difficulty reducing uncommitted uncosted balances -- Foreign contributions to DNN programs have been limited, and foreign cost-sharing data are not systematically tracked or maintained by NNSA -- Some DNN program performance measures lack key attributes and have led to overstated results -- Limitations in interagency strategic plans impede coordination of U.S. efforts to combat nuclear smuggling overseas -- Conclusions.
