Nuclear Security Systems Center
The mission of our Center is to enhance the security, prosperity and well-being of our citizens by the application of a security systems approach incorporating the concepts of protection-in-depth, balance, and cost-effective protection. We will build upon the expertise gained through decades of providing security for the DOE nuclear weapons complex and DoD nuclear weapons storage facilities and solve security problems of national importance. Our mission will be accomplished while: Enhancing our ability to fulfill our role as the lead DOE Laboratory in physical security R&D; enhancing our ability to fulfill our role in nuclear weapons surety; enhancing our ability to respond to security requests from other federal, state,, and local agencies; and providing taxpayers a substantial return on investment, both directly in cost savings and indirectly in leveraged benefits. A brief description of research on security systems is described.
