Intelligence and Counterterrorism
The Department of Energy has stewardship of vital national security capabilities, from nuclear weapons to leading edge research and development projects. These capabilities, and related Energy programs, are important not only to the strength of our Nation, but within the framework of international cooperation, to the lessening of global threats. We must therefore ensure the security of these critical programs through the application of an effective and coordinated counterintelligence program.
Department activities are focused on protecting our nuclear weapons secrets, but also emphasize a high priority on protecting our other sensitive scientific endeavors, and on combining with other Departmental elements in our efforts to defeat terrorism.
