HS Strategic Stockpile Stewardship: A Retrospective & Forward Look at U.S. Nuclear Weapons Policy

An in-depth conversation with Dr. Don Cook, former Deputy Administrator for Defense Programs at the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), U.S. Department of Energy. Dr. Cook provides a retrospective review of the U.S. nuclear agenda in 2010, highlighting key priorities and challenges faced by the administration and Congress at the time. The seminar explores the aging profile of the U.S. nuclear stockpile and the bipartisan concerns it raised, offering insights into how those concerns shaped policy decisions. Dr. Cook also addresses the critical need for plutonium pit production, presenting a fact-based analysis of why the current target of 80 pits per year should be sufficient, but a reduced target of 30 pits per year would be insufficient to meet national security requirements—cutting through political narratives and budgetary constraints to focus on strategic realities.
