Fiscal Year 2024 Stockpile Stewardship and Management Plan
The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration’s (DOE/NNSA) largest mission is to
design, produce, deliver, and certify the Nation’s nuclear stockpile while advancing the scientific,
technological, and engineering skills that underpin it. Since the Manhattan Project, the talented people
of the nuclear security enterprise have applied unique capabilities to promote U.S. security in an evolving
global security environment. Today, our nuclear deterrent remains the foundation of the Nation’s
defense.
