  17. Today marks the 20th anniversary of the U.S. Senate's ratification of START, 93-6. NNSA has been a vital part of reducing the nuclear weapons stockpile as mandated by the treaty. Read how: http://1.usa.gov/PnrzeS

    About the photo:

    B53 bei...
    ng dismantled at Pantex

    The elimination of the B53 by Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is consistent with the goal President Obama announced in his April 2009 Prague speech to reduce the number of nuclear weapons. The President said, “We will reduce the role of nuclear weapons in our national security strategy, and urge others to do the same.” The dismantlement of the last remaining B53 ensures that the system will never again be part of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile.

    As a key part of its national security mission, NNSA is actively responsible for safely dismantling weapons that are no longer needed, and disposing of the excess material and components.
