As recognized by the Mies-Augustine report (A New Foundation for the Nuclear Enterprise, Report of the Congressional Advisory Panel on the Governance of the Nuclear Security Enterprise, Nov. 2014), any consideration of governance must begin with an understanding of mission. At first glance, the mission of these three laboratories seems obvious: We are national security laboratories with the core mission being our support of nuclear deterrence. This is certainly true. However, there are nuances here that I believe are very important to consider. Furthermore, I suspect that, if I were to ask you what a “national security laboratory” means, I would get a wide variety of answers.
