The National Nuclear Security Administration’s efforts to refurbish its W76 nuclear warheads faces significant problems, according to a new report from the Department of Energy’s Office of Inspector General:
NNSA may be unable to complete the W76 LEP within established scope, cost and schedule parameters, unless it adopts a more effective approach to reducing unit costs. This concern is exacerbated by the fact that the Program is faced with a relatively flat budget over the next few years, even though its annual scope of work is projected to increase significantly.
The link above includes the full report, and I’ll have more in tomorrow’s newspaper.
update: Here’s a link to the full story.
