Description: An independent study group, convened by AAAS's Center for Science, Technology and Security Policy, has concluded that most of the anticipated benefits of the proposed Reliable Replacement Warhead program--more easily maintained nuclear weapons with enhanced performance margins, improved safety and security properties, and greater ease of manufacture--would occur in the long term subsequent to modernization of the weapons production complex.
