Answer:

As worldwide focus changed from stockpiling weapons to decreasing and monitoring available weapons, “The Great Transformation” sought to reduce the existing weapons stockpile. In addition, the plan also sought to make LANL smaller, safer, more agile, and more cost-effective.

The complex transformation plan, formally a Supplemental Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (SPEIS) assigns Los Alamos National Laboratory primary responsibility for consolidating plutonium research, development and manufacturing capabilities, under a preferred alternative scenario. But what that actually means has been left to future decisions
