It is the sense of the Senate that— rebuilding a robust plutonium pit production infrastructure with a capacity of up to 80 pits per year is critical to maintaining the viability of the nuclear stockpile; that effort will require cooperation from experts across the nuclear security enterprise; and any further delay to achieving a plutonium sustainment capability to support the planned stockpile life extension programs will result in an unacceptable capability gap to our deterrent posture. Section 4219 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act ( 50 U.S.C. 2538a ) is amended— in subsection (a), by striking paragraph
(5)and inserting the following: during 2030, produces not less than 80 war reserve plutonium pits. ; by striking subsection (b); by redesignating subsections
(c)and
(d)as subsections
(b)and (c), respectively; in subsection (b), as redesignated by paragraph (2), by striking 2027 (or, if the authority under subsection
(b)is exercised, 2029) and inserting 2030 ; and in subsection (c), as redesignated by paragraph (2), by striking subsection
(c)and inserting subsection
(b).
