SEC. 3111. STUDY ON USING EXISTING PITS FOR THE RELI-
ABLE REPLACEMENT WARHEAD PROGRAM. 
(a) STUDY REQUIRED.—The Administrator for Nu-
clear Security, in consultation with the Nuclear Weapons 
Council, shall carry out a study analyzing the feasibility 
of using existing pits to remanufacture warheads for the 
Reliable Replacement Warhead (RRW) program. 
(b) REPORT.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—Not later than February 1, 
2008, the Administrator shall submit to the congres-
sional defense committees a report on the results of 
the study. The report shall be in unclassified form, 
but may include a classified annex.

(2) MATTERS
INCLUDED.—The report shall 
contain the assessment of the Administrator of the 
results of the study, including— 
(A) an assessment of— 
(i) whether using existing pits to re-
manufacture warheads for the RRW pro-
gram is technically feasible; 
(ii) whether remanufacturing war-
heads with existing pits is more desirable 
than remanufacturing warheads with newly 
manufactured pits; 
(iii) the number of existing pits suit-
able for such remanufacturing; 
(iv) whether proceeding to remanufac-
ture warheads with existing pits before re-
manufacturing warheads with newly manu-
factured pits is desirable; and 
(v) the extent to which remanufac-
turing warheads with existing pits, as com-
pared to remanufacturing warheads with 
newly manufactured pits, would reduce fu-
ture requirements for new pit production, 
and how such use of existing pits would af-
fect the schedule and scope for new pit 
production; and

•HR 1585 EH1S 
(B) a comparison of the requirements for 
certifying— 
(i) warheads remanufactured with ex-
isting pits; 
(ii) warheads remanufactured with 
newly manufactured pits; and 
(iii) warheads maintained by the 
Stockpile Life Extension Programs. 
(c) DEFINITIONS.—For the purposes of this section, 
the terms ‘‘remanufacturing’’ and ‘‘remanufacture’’ mean 
the replacement of existing warheads with modern compo-
nents that are designed to increase the reliability, safety, 
and surety of the warhead, but that do not alter the yield 
of the warhead or affect military characteristics of the 
warhead in any way. 
(d) FUNDING.—Of the amounts made available pur-
suant to the authorization of appropriations in section 
3101(a)(1), such funds as may be necessary shall be avail-
able to carry out this section.

TION STUDY ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS COM-
PLEX PROTECTIVE FORCES. 
(a) STUDY REQUIRED.—The Administrator for Nu-
clear Security shall carry out a study on the composition

of the workforce providing protective forces at the nuclear 
weapons complex. 
(b) REPORT.—Not later than March 1, 2008, the Ad-
ministrator for Nuclear Security shall submit to the con-
gressional defense committees a report on the results of 
the study. The report shall include the following: 
(1) An assessment of whether the incentives in-
herent in the use of contractors to provide protective 
forces increase or decrease the risk that such protec-
tive forces will be substandard. 
(2) Assessments of the feasibility, costs, bene-
fits, and implications of having protective forces at 
the nuclear weapons complex be provided by a work-
force comprised— 
(A) only of contractor employees; 
(B) only of Federal employees; 
(C) of both contractor employees and Fed-
eral employees; and 
(D) in any other manner that the Adminis-
trator considers appropriate for assessment 
under this paragraph.
