The Administrator for Nuclear Security shall include, as part of the Administrator's planned analysis of alternatives to support the plutonium strategy of the National Nuclear Security Administration, an analysis of using or modifying existing facilities of the nuclear security enterprise (as defined in section 4002 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act ( 50 U.S.C. 2501 )) to support that strategy, as part of critical decision 1 in the acquisition process for the design and construction of modular structures associated with operations of the PF–4 facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico. The analysis required by subsection
(a)shall include an analysis of the following: The costs, benefits, cost savings, risks, and effects of using or modifying existing facilities of the nuclear security enterprise to support the plutonium strategy of the Administration. Such other matters as the Administrator considers appropriate. The Administrator shall submit the analysis required by subsection
(a)to the congressional defense committees not later than 30 days after completing the analysis. It is the sense of Congress that the requirement to create a modern, responsive plutonium infrastructure is a national security priority, and that the Administrator must fulfill the obligations of the Administrator under section 3114(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 ( 50 U.S.C. 2535 note), as well as the commitment made by the Chairman of the Nuclear Weapons Council (established by section 179 of title 10, United States Code) in the letter of the Chairman, dated July 25, 2014, to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, to carry out a modular building strategy for plutonium capabilities that— meets the requirements for maintaining the nuclear weapons stockpile over a 30-year period; meets the requirements for implementation of a responsive infrastructure, including meeting plutonium pit production requirements; and includes plans to construct two modular structures that will achieve full operating capability not later than 2027.
