Reliable Replacement Warhead (RRW) program. 
(b) REPORT.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—Not later than February 1,

tain 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 warheads 
with existing pits is more desirable than re-
manufacturing warheads with newly manu-

(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 pro-

in any way.

forces increase or decrease the risk that such protective 
forces will be substandard.

and implications of having protective forces at the 
nuclear weapons complex be provided by a workforce 
comprised— 
(A) only of contractor employees;
