(2) This CRD must be included in NWC contracts involving the management, design, construction, operations, and decommissioning of defense nuclear facilities; or equipment or any activities involving the storage, handling, or use of special nuclear materials, radioactive materials, high explosives, and high-intensity lasers. NWC contractors (at Pantex Plant, Y-12 National Security Complex, Kansas City Plant, Sandia National Laboratories, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Savannah River Site and the Nevada Test Site) must comply with the CRD or other requirements made part of the laws, regulations, and DOE directives clause of the contracts. (3) As the laws, regulations, and DOE directives clause of contracts states, regardless of the performer of the work, the contractor with the CRD incorporated into its contract is responsible for compliance with the requirements of the CRD.

(4) An affected contractor is responsible for flowing down requirements of this CRD to subcontractors at any tier to the extent necessary to ensure contractor compliance with the requirements. (5) In doing so, the contractor will not flow down requirements to subcontractors unnecessarily or imprudently. That is, the contractor will both— (a) ensure that it and its subcontractors comply with the requirements of the CRD to the extent necessary to ensure the contractor’s compliance and safe performance of work and (b) incur only costs that would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. c. Exclusions.

The U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile will be the highest priority in the planning, programming, budgeting, execution, and evaluation of NWC work. b. In accordance with the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (P.L.107-296), and consistent with resources provided, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) projects will be prioritized on an equal basis with the nuclear weapons program and given higher priority status than work-for-others (WFO). Notwithstanding any other law governing the administration, mission, use, or operations of any of the Department of Energy national laboratories and sites, such laboratories and sites are authorized to accept and perform work for the Secretary, consistent with resources provided, and perform such work on an equal basis to other missions at the laboratory and not on a noninterference basis with other missions of such laboratory or site. [P.L.107-296, section 309(a)(2)] c. Requests for NWC capabilities and resources in support of non-weapon missions or other programs of national interest will be accepted and conducted in such a manner as to avoid adverse impact or impediments to the management of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile. d. Situations in which conflicts arise between DHS and the nuclear weapons program over competing priorities for limited technical resources will be brought to the attention of the NNSA Administrator through the Deputy Administrator for Defense Programs for coordination and resolution with the Secretary and DHS. e. NWC national security mission requirements will be prioritized taking into account the following objectives: (1) Maintain and enhance the existing nuclear weapons stockpile in accordance with Presidential Directives and the President’s annual Nuclear Weapons Stockpile Memorandum in accordance with— (a) DOE O 452.1B, Nuclear Explosive and Weapons Surety Program, dated 8-6-01; (b) DOE O 452.2B, Safety of Nuclear Explosive Operations, dated 8-7-01; (c) DOE O 452.4A, Security and Control of Nuclear Explosives and Nuclear Weapons, dated 12-17-01; and (d) DOE O 414.1B, Quality Assurance, dated 4-29-04. 4 DOE O 452.3 6-8-05 (2) Preserve NWC research and development and infrastructure to support applied research, development, testing, and production capabilities necessary to maintain the nuclear weapons stockpile, to support the annual stockpile assessment, and to address scientific and engineering issues pertinent to stockpile stewardship.
