A bill to require a plan to modernize the nuclear security enterprise.

This bill would require the head of the National Nuclear Security Administration to create a plan within 90 days to speed up and modernize facilities used to stage nuclear materials, replacing older facilities in the nuclear security enterprise. The plan must describe all phases and estimate costs, and must also speed up near-term project decision milestones in fiscal year 2026. The plan would be carried out at the same time as a program to modernize high explosives facilities, including continued construction of the High Explosives Synthesis Formulation and Production facility. Within 180 days, the agency must brief the Armed Services and Appropriations Committees of both the Senate and House on the plan.
