We're standing at the threshold of a new era in high-performance computing.

Because we have not yet received a detailed description of what UC proposes with respect to a separate pension plan, DOE/NNSA cannot comment specifically on your approach at this time.

What we want to do is equip our protective force with the capability that will leave no doubt about the outcome.

We will revitalize our weapons design community to meet the challenge of being able to adapt an existing weapon within 18 months, and design, develop and begin production of a new design within three to four years of a decision to enter engineering development.

We're not going to let people get anywhere near nuclear material. If they come, they're going to die en route.

The demonstration, which ends on Friday, is the first one we have held in China, and in fact the first one we have held outside the US.

While I think that 18 (months) is somewhat better than 24 (months), the truth of the matter is those numbers are sufficiently imprecise, and the whole thing is sufficiently unlikely that it seemed more suitable, especially given our continued budget pressure, to stick with 24 months.

The United States will, for the foreseeable future, need to retain both nuclear forces and the capabilities to sustain and modernize those forces.

You don't wait until material has been lost and then improve security.

It may turn out to be that it's 60 plus. We're doing accelerated aging tests to find that out.

Chinese take security seriously, but you can always benefit from an exchange of technology.

The funding increase is because this is the year to peak fund it and we expect to be in a position to start construction later this calendar year.
