Which is not a DoD Nuclear Weapon System Surety Standard?

The correct answer highlights a critical aspect of the Department of Defense (DoD) Nuclear Weapon System Surety Standards. The primary purpose of these standards is to prevent unauthorized employment of nuclear weapons, ensuring they cannot be fired or misused by personnel without proper clearance.

While ensuring personnel qualification and maintaining operational security are essential components of nuclear surety, preventing authorized employment is not framed as a standard. Authorized employment is inherently part of nuclear operations under strict controls and protocols, as these systems are designed for use under specific circumstances. Therefore, preventing authorized employment does not align with the objectives of maintaining safe and secure nuclear operations, which instead focus on ensuring that only qualified personnel have access and that all measures are in place to avoid unintentional or unauthorized use.
