As part of a self-imposed moratorium on testing, the United States has not conducted an explosive nuclear test since 1992. Since that time, the Department of Energy's (Department) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has used the Stockpile Stewardship Program, an effort that includes analytical simulation, laboratory experiments, and weapons refurbishments, to maintain the stockpile without nuclear testing. Under current national policy, however, the Department may be called upon, within a three-year timeframe, to resume underground nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site (Nevada) under certain circumstances. These situations include the identification of a new type of weapon problem or an accumulation of uncertainties about the reliability of the nuclear stockpile. Prior to performing any test, the Department is required by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 830, Nuclear Safety Management, to complete various safety analyses. In addition, Department Orders 452.1C, Nuclear Explosive and Weapon Surety Program, and 452.2C, Nuclear Explosive Safety, require a nuclear explosive safety study, which is a formal evaluation of the controls to meet nuclear explosive safety standards.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) was established to jumpstart the U.S. economy, create or save millions of jobs, spur technological advances in health and science, and invest in the Nation's energy future. The Department of Energy (Department) will receive an unprecedented $37 billion in Recovery Act funding to support a variety of science, energy, and environmental initiatives. The majority of the funding received by the Department will be allocated to various recipients through grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and other financial instruments.
