201376279Las Vegas NV: National Nuclear Security Administration Nevada Field Office/National Security Technologies Office of Public Affairs 2013. Presumed First thus. DVD-RW. Very good. This has two files. One of JVE historic photographs as a powerpoint presentation with about 160 images. The second file is a WMV format and is about a 40 minute video of Ambassador Paul Robinson's remarks shown at the commemoration. The United States part of the Joint Verification Experiment carried out in 1988 as the Kearsarge event in Operation Touchstone. Twenty-five years later before tensions increased between Russia and the United States a joint commemoration of the event was held at the Nevada Nuclear Security Site formerly the Nevada Test Site. The objective of the JVE was to calibrate the seismic yield estimation capability of underground nuclear explosions conducted in both countries. It involved the unprecedented US yield measurement of a Soviet nuclear explosion at its then nuclear test site in Kazakhstan and the reciprocal Soviet yield measurement of a US nuclear explosion at the Nevada Test Site. JVE provided the first opportunity for scientists from US and Soviet nuclear weapons laboratories to meet and work cooperatively. At the Nevada Test Site and at the follow-on experiment at the Soviet Semipalatinsk Test Site they developed confidence-building steps that made possible the ratification of the TTBT in 1990. Both Russians and Americans agree that cooperation between US and Soviet nuclear weapons scientists began with the JVE and the follow-on discussions on the TTBT verification mechanisms during the Geneva negotiations.

201180403Washington DC: National Nuclear Security Administration 2011. Presumed First thus. Held together with a binder clip. Very good. Volume 3 ONLY. C. Deeney's copy per cover sheet. While stated as Volume 3 this appears to be a stand-alone item documenting the Third Review Panel Meeting. It is labeled on the cover shee as NIC Preliminary Data. The agenda covers June 2 and June 3 2011. Among the topics and presentations at tabs are NIC Overview by E. Moses NIC Technical Framework by J. Lindl Ignition Tuning Experiments by N. Landen Progress on Target Layering by J. Atherton Implosion Experiments by J. Edwards and ITF/ITFX Assessment by J. Lindl and NIC FY11 Go-Forward Schedule by J. Atherton. The presentations are printed with four frames per page with substantial use of color. The National Ignition Facility NIF is a large laser-based inertial confinement fusion ICF research device located at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore California. NIF uses lasers to heat and compress a small amount of hydrogen fuel with the goal of inducing nuclear fusion reactions. NIF's mission is to achieve fusion ignition with high energy gain and to support nuclear weapon maintenance and design by studying the behavior of matter under the conditions found within nuclear weapons. NIF is the largest and most energetic ICF device built to date and the largest laser in the world. The National Ignition Campaign NIC was a multi-institution effort established under the National Nuclear Security Administration of DOE in 2005 prior to the completion of the National Ignition Facility NIF in 2009. The scope of the NIC was the planning and preparation for and the execution of the first 3 yr of ignition experiments through the end of September 2012 as well as the development fielding qualification and integration of the wide range of capabilities required for ignition. Besides the operation and optimization of the use of NIF these capabilities included over 50 optical x-ray and nuclear diagnostic systems target fabrication facilities experimental platforms and a wide range of NIF facility infrastructure. The goal of ignition experiments on the NIF is to achieve for the first time ignition and thermonuclear burn in the laboratory via inertial confinement fusion and to develop a platform for ignition and high energy density applications on the NIF. The goal of the NIC was to develop and integrate all of the capabilities required for a precision ignition campaign and if possible to demonstrate ignition and gain by the end of FY12. The goal of achieving ignition can be divided into three main challenges. The first challenge is defining specifications for the target laser and diagnostics with the understanding that not all ignition physics is fully understood and not all material properties are known. The second challenge is designing experiments to systematically remove these uncertainties. The third challenge is translating these experimental results into metrics designed to determine how well the experimental implosions have performed relative to expectations and requirements and to advance those metrics toward the conditions required for ignition. At project completion in 2009 NIF lacked almost all the diagnostics and infrastructure required for ignition experiments. About half of the 3 yr period covered in this review was taken up by the effort required to install and performance qualify the equipment and experimental platforms needed for ignition experiments. Ignition on the NIF is a grand challenge undertaking and the results presented here represent a snapshot in time on the path toward that goal. The path forward presented at the end of this review summarizes plans for the Ignition Campaign on the NIF which were adopted at the end of 2012 as well as some of the key results obtained since the end of the NIC.

200775574Los Alamos NM: Los Alamos National Laboratory 2007. Concurrence Draft. DVD. Very good. This disk includes the Summary Volume 1 chapters 1-11 Volume 2 Appendices A-M and Volume 3 Comment Response Document. The disk contains 2358 KB. NNSA proposes to continue operating Los Alamos National Laboratory LANL which is located in Los Alamos County in north-central New Mexico. NNSA has identified and assessed three alternatives for continued operation of LANL: 1 No Action 2 Reduced Operations and 3 Expanded Operations. The Expanded Operations Alternative includes the impacts of actions to implement the March 2005 Compliance Order on Consent Consent Order entered into by DOE the LANL management and operating contractor and the State of New Mexico to address the investigation and remediation of environmental contamination at LANL. NNSA intends to implement actions necessary to comply with the Consent Order regardless of whether it implements other actions analyzed as part of the Expanded Operations Alternative. Expanded Operations is NNSA's Preferred Alternative. Under the No Action Alternative NNSA would continue the historical mission support activities conducted at LANL at currently approved operational levels. Under the Reduced Operations Alternative NNSA would eliminate some activities and limit the operations of other activities. Under the Expanded Operations Alternative NNSA would operate LANL at the highest levels of activity currently foreseeable including full implementation of mission assignments. Under all of the alternatives the affected environment is primarily within 50 miles 80 kilometers of LANL. Analyses indicate little difference in the environmental impacts of the alternatives on many resource areas. The primary discriminators are public risk due to radiation exposure collective worker risk due to radiation exposure socioeconomic effects due to LANL employment changes electrical power and water demand waste management and transportation.

200575219Washington DC: United States Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration 2005. Presumed First Edition First issuance thus. VHS Tape. Very good. This is a standard VHS tape approximately 4 inches by 7 inches with a hand written label stating Surveillance Training - SFIs 45 min. No classification or information use limitation on label or tape sleeve. The tape has been partially played but not rewound. Significant Finding Investigations were addressed in DOE/IG-0535 Audit Report Management of the Stockpile Surveillance Program's Significant Finding Investigations December 2001. The Directors of the three nuclear weapons laboratories annually assess and report the condition of the weapon systems for which their laboratories are responsible. A critical event in this process is the identification of a defect or malfunction during surveillance testing. This is especially important when dealing with an aging weapons stockpile. Departmental procedures require preliminary tests or evaluations to establish whether a Significant Finding Investigation SFI should be initiated. Such investigations are then conducted to determine the identified problem's cause and impact and to recommend corrective actions. Weapons surveillance began in the US in the mid-1960s when weapons testing was done through underground explosions of nuclear devices. Such testing continued until the early 1990s. If tests on a weapon system show an anomaly - a possible problem with a part that could jeopardize the system operation - with a system evaluation engineer SEE is notified. It is the SEE's job to determine if the anomaly could affect the surety safe use or reliability of the weapon. If the SEE makes that determination he/she opens a "significant finding investigation SFI. The responsibility of the investigation team is to determine the cause and impact of the defect and to make recommendations for corrective actions.

CD in a paper envelop with clear plastic face. Very good. On this disc entitled in sharpee 2/12/03 NNSA Test Readiness is a 26 vugraph briefing with graphics that was given to the Foster panel. There are no distribution limitations on the outside of the disc or on any vugraphs contained therein. John Stuart Foster Jr. born September 18 1922 is an American physicist best known as the fourth director of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and as Director Defense Research and Engineering under four Secretaries of Defense and two Presidents. In 1952 Foster was recruited to Lawrence Livermore Laboratory by founder Edward Teller and became a division leader in experimental physics. He was promoted to associate director in 1958 and director of the Livermore Laboratory and associate director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 1961 in which positions he served until 1965. Foster was appointed director of defense research and engineering a position then considered the number-three job in the Department of Defense by Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara in October 1965. He continued in this position until June 1973 serving under Presidents Johnson and Nixon and under Secretaries of Defense McNamara Clifford Laird and Richardson. From 1973 Foster was vice president science and technology of TRW retiring in 1988. From 1973 until 1990 he was a member of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. He was a long-serving member of the Defense Science Board of which he served as chairman from January 1990 to June 1993. Foster continues to advise and mentor scientists at Livermore into the 2020s. From an Arms Control Association article found online: The Department of Energy submitted a report to the Senate Armed Services Committee on May 20 2003 calling for the United States to shorten the time it would take to conduct a nuclear test to 18 months in order to provide a "reasonable level of flexibility" for the Bush administration. Congress requested the report in November 2002 instructing Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham to draw up plans that would enable the department to test within six 12 18 or 24 months. Currently the United States can conduct a nuclear test within 24-36 months of a presidential directive to do so. Congress also asked Abraham to determine in consultation with the secretary of defense which readiness period would be optimal. The 18-month recommendation "reflects what is achievable and cost effective" according to the report which was prepared by the National Nuclear Security Administration NNSA a semiautonomous agency within the Energy Department. The report indicated that 18 months is the minimum amount of time needed to evaluate a problem identified in the U.S. nuclear stockpile propose a solution and "execute a test that would provide the information needed to certify the ‘fix.'" The recommendation is "consistent with realistic testing schedules" established during previous U.S. nuclear testing which ceased in 1992. By contrast shortening test readiness to six or 12 months would require a "substantial diversion of personnel and facilities at the laboratories" according to the report. That would "represent a major redirection of the stockpile stewardship program" which is intended to maintain the nuclear arsenal in the absence of testing. Adopting a testing posture of a year or less would be "most relevant.if the President might direct that testing resume for political reasons." The report also noted that the shorter readiness period would be considerably more expensive. The transition to shorten the current 24-36 month readiness posture expected to take three years is already underway. NNSA conducted an Enhanced Test Readiness Cost Study in July 2002 to determine the steps and funding required to shorten the readiness posture and the Nuclear Weapons Council a consultative group of officials from the Energy Department and the Pentagon approved the plan to transition to an 18-month readiness window in September 2002 according to the report. The Bush administration asked for funds to begin moving to a shorter test readiness posture in its fiscal year 2004 budget request.
