607 
HR 1815 RFS 
‘‘SEC. 4214. RELIABLE REPLACEMENT WARHEAD PROGRAM. 
‘‘(a) PROGRAM REQUIRED.—The Secretary of En-
ergy, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, shall 
carry out a program, to be known as the Reliable Replace-
ment Warhead program, to develop reliable replacement 
components that are producible and certifiable for the ex-
isting nuclear weapons stockpile. 
‘‘(b) OBJECTIVES.—The objectives of the Reliable 
Replacement Warhead program shall be— 
‘‘(1) to increase the reliability, safety, and secu-
rity of the United States nuclear weapons stockpile; 
‘‘(2) to further reduce the likelihood of the re-
sumption of nuclear testing; 
‘‘(3) to remain consistent with basic design pa-
rameters by using, to the extent practicable, compo-
nents that are well understood or are certifiable 
without the need to resume underground nuclear 
testing; 
‘‘(4) to ensure that the United States develops 
a nuclear weapons infrastructure that can respond 
to unforeseen problems, to include the ability to 
produce replacement warheads that are safer to 
manufacture, more cost-effective to produce, and 
less costly to maintain than existing warheads;
608 
HR 1815 RFS 
‘‘(5) to achieve reductions in the future size of 
the nuclear weapons stockpile based on increased re-
liability of the reliable replacement warheads; 
‘‘(6) to use the design, certification, and pro-
duction expertise resident in the nuclear complex to 
develop reliable replacement components to fulfill 
current mission requirements of the existing stock-
pile; and 
‘‘(7) to serve as a complement to, and poten-
tially a more cost-effective and reliable long-term re-
placement for, the current Stockpile Life Extension 
Programs.’’. 
(b) REPORT.—Not later than March 1, 2007, the Nu-
clear Weapons Council shall submit to the congressional 
defense committees a report on the feasibility and imple-
mentation of the Reliable Replacement Warhead program 
required by section 4214 of the Atomic Energy Defense 
Act (as added by subsection (a)). The report shall— 
(1) identify existing warheads recommended for 
replacement by 2035 with an assessment of the 
weapon performance and safety characteristics of 
the replacement warheads; 
(2) discuss the relationship of the Reliable Re-
placement Warhead program within the Stockpile
609 
HR 1815 RFS 
Stewardship Program and its impact on the current 
Stockpile Life Extension Programs; 
(3) provide an assessment of the extent to 
which a successful Reliable Replacement Warhead 
program could lead to reductions in the nuclear 
weapons stockpile; 
(4) discuss the criteria by which replacement 
warheads under the Reliable Replacement Warhead 
program will be designed to maximize the likelihood 
of not requiring nuclear testing, as well as the cir-
cumstances that could lead to a resumption of test-
ing; 
(5) provide a description of the infrastructure, 
including pit production capabilities, required to sup-
port the Reliable Replacement Warhead program; 
and 
(6) provide a detailed summary of how the 
funds made available pursuant to the authorizations 
of appropriations in this Act, and any funds made 
available in prior years, will be used. 
(c) INTERIM REPORT.—Not later than March 1, 
2006, the Nuclear Weapons Council shall submit to the 
congressional defense committees an interim report on the 
matters required to be covered by the report under sub-
section (b).

(1) there is an insufficient accounting for, and 
insufficient security of, the nonstrategic nuclear 
weapons of the Russian Federation; and 
(2) because of the dangers posed by that insuf-
ficient accounting and security, it is in the national 
security interest of the United States to assist the 
Russian Federation in the conduct of a comprehen-
sive inventory of its nonstrategic nuclear weapons. 
(b) REPORT.— 
(1) REPORT REQUIRED.—Not later than No-
vember 1, 2005, the Secretary of Energy shall sub-
mit to Congress a report containing— 
(A) the Secretary’s evaluation of past and 
current efforts by the United States to encour-
age or facilitate a proper accounting for and se-
curing of the nonstrategic nuclear weapons of 
the Russian Federation; and

garding the actions by the United States that 
are most likely to lead to progress in improving

ons.
