Appendix A--Level 1 Milestones. Appendix 2--Glossary. From the Table of Contents these areas of discussion are found: The Role of ASCI in Stockpile Stewardship Defense Applications and Modeling Simulation and Computer Science Verification and Validation Physics Modeling Distance Computing Distributed Computing Weapons Simulation and Terascale Simulation. The Advanced Simulation and Computing Program ASC is a super-computing program run by the National Nuclear Security Administration in order to simulate test and maintain the United States nuclear stockpile. The program was created in 1995 in order to support the Stockpile Stewardship Program or SSP. The goal of the initiative is to extend the lifetime of the current aging stockpile. After the United States' 1992 moratorium on live nuclear testing the Stockpile Stewardship Program was created in order to find a way to test and maintain the nuclear stockpile. In response the National Nuclear Security Administration began to simulate the nuclear warheads using supercomputers. As the stockpile ages the simulations have become more complex and the maintenance of the stockpile requires more computing power. Over the years due to Moore's law the ASC program has created several different supercomputers with increasing power in order to compute the simulations and mathematics.

The mission of the Office of Nonproliferation and Arms Control NPAC is to prevent proliferation ensure peaceful nuclear uses and enable verifiable nuclear reductions. NPAC provides a comprehensive approach to strengthen nonproliferation and arms control regimes achieving its mission through four subprograms: International Nuclear Safeguards; Nuclear Controls; Nuclear Verification; Nonproliferation Policy. One of the gravest threats the United States and the international community face is the possibility that terrorists or rogue nations will acquire nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction WMD. NNSA through its Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation DNN works closely with a wide range of international partners key U.S. federal agencies the U.S. national laboratories and the private sector to secure safeguard and/or dispose of dangerous nuclear and radiological material and detect and control the proliferation of related WMD technology and expertise. The Office of Nonproliferation Research and Engineering part of the National Nuclear Security Administration within the Department of Energy conducts wide-ranging research for diverse end users at the federal and local level. As such the Office faces a number of unusual challenges in determining how to best serve its users' needs within its budget. The Chemical & Biological National Security Program was initiated in FY97 in response to the growing awareness of both the chemical and biological weapon capabilities available to potential attackers and the vulnerabilities of the U.S> population to these weapons. From the outset the program has drawn from the deep scientific and engineering talents in the national laboratories as well as from specialized expertise in academia and industry. A basic philosophy of the CBNP is that any near-term impact of research and development requires a mission focus. The program's goal was not just to develop technology but to apply it to solve real problems and to develop demonstrate and deliver technologies and systems to improved domestic defense capabilities and ultimately to save lives in the event of a chemical or biological attack.

This abbreviated set was used as part of the NA-12 New Employee Orientation. NNSA receives its authority for the responsibility for all weapon and weapon-related functions from 50 USC 2402 Chapter 41. DOE/NNSA and DoD cooperate in the development production and maintenance of nuclear weapons. Figure 1.1-1 illustrates DOE/NNSA/DoD organizational interrelationships. The basic document that establishes the interrelationships between the two agencies is "An Agreement Between the AEC and the DoD for the Development Production and Standardization of Atomic Weapons" dated March 21 1953. This is commonly referred to as the "1953 Agreement." It was updated on September 5 1984 by the "Supplement to the 1953 Agreement for the Development Production and Standardization of Atomic Weapons Between the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense." The supplement delineates the functions of DOE/NNSA and DoD during joint feasibility studies for nuclear weapons Phase 2 design definition and cost studies Phase 2A and development engineering Phase 3. The 1953 Agreement was updated again in<br/>1990 and supersedes the 1953 version. Numerous Memoranda of Understanding MOU Memoranda of Agreement MOA and supplements provide additional guidance to agencies involved in the weapon development programs. Most of these are identified in a document titled "An Overview of DOE/DoD Memorandums of Understanding MOU and Memorandums of Agreement MOA Relating to Nuclear Weapons Development Production and Stockpile." In general DOE/NNSA is responsible for designing developing producing updating and dismantling nuclear warheads nuclear weapon trainers and ancillary equipment while DoD is responsible for designing developing and producing and dismantling the weapon delivery system.

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.

Illustrations. Acronyms & Abbreviations. Glossary. This type of document is very ephemeral and it is believed that very few copies have survived in the more than two decades since it was issued. The United States government's Strategic Computing Initiative funded research into advanced computer hardware and artificial intelligence from 1983 to 1993. The initiative was designed to support various projects that were required to develop machine intelligence in a prescribed ten-year time frame from chip design and manufacture computer architecture to artificial intelligence software. The project was superseded in the 1990s by the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative and then by the Advanced Simulation and Computing Program. These later programs did not include artificial general intelligence as a goal but instead focused on supercomputing for large scale simulation such as atomic bomb simulations. The Advanced Simulation and Computing Program or ASC is a super-computing program run by the National Nuclear Security Administration in order to simulate test and maintain the United States nuclear stockpile. The program was created in 1995 in order to support the Stockpile Stewardship Program or SSP. The goal of the initiative is to extend the lifetime of the current aging stockpile. Among the sections in the Table of Contents are: Stockpile Stewardship Defense Applications Computer Science Integrated Computing Systems Strategic Alliances Verification and Validation Physics Modeling Weapons Simulation Modeling and Simulation Level 1 Milestones High Explosives Advanced Visualization Detonation Wave Titan IV Solid Rocket Motor Metropolis Center JCEL.

The strategic importance of assuring a supply of tritium constitutes the impetus for this analysis to identify a 40-year supply of nuclear fuel for the nuclear power plants used to produce tritium concurrently with the generation of civilian nuclear power. Assuring the nuclear fuel supply for those plants is one component of demonstrating that DOE can provide tritium for U.S. nuclear weapons with a high degree of confidence. Ms. Nanette D. Founds was listed as the Tritium Readiness Subprogram Manager Diversification is a prudent approach to achieving the highest probability of success in ensuring a long-term nuclear fuel supply because it reduces reliance on one source or technology and allows for flexibility to accommodate the dynamic nuclear fuel market. For a diversified mix of acceptable nuclear fuel supply sources the analysis recommended that NNSA take a series of specified actions to ensure the highest possible confidence in a 40-year nuclear fuel supply for the nuclear power plants then currently employed in the production of tritium for the National Nuclear Security Administration. Among the steps advocated included: allocation of a portion of the DOE inventory of depleted uranium hexafluoride use of market-based uranium procurement procedures to swap or barter for uranium appropriate for use for the tritium program and traditional procurement of U.S.-origin uranium.

CD-ROM In 2005 the Nation's nuclear weapons enterprise put forth a vision for evolving the program and its design and production facilities and the underlying technologies and infrastructure for the coming quarter century. This CD-ROM contains information on this vision. From the NNSA website: "The NNSA was established by Congress in 2000 as a separately organized agency within the U.S. Department of Energy responsible for the management and security of the nation s nuclear weapons nuclear nonproliferation and naval reactor programs. In 2002 NNSA reorganized removing a layer of management by eliminating its regional operations offices in New Mexico California and Nevada. Contract and project management oversight responsibility for NNSA s labs plants and special facilities was given to the site offices. NNSA headquarters retained responsibility for strategic and program planning budgeting and oversight of research development and nonproliferation activities. NNSA is responsible for the management and security of the nation s nuclear weapons nuclear nonproliferation and naval reactor programs. It also responds to nuclear and radiological emergencies in the United States and abroad. Additionally NNSA federal agents provide safe and secure transportation of nuclear weapons and components and special nuclear materials along with other missions supporting the national security. NNSA relies on contractors to manage day-to-day site operations and to adhere to Department of Energy policies when operating the laboratories production plants and other facilities within the complex. Together the facilities implement NNSA s all-encompassing Stockpile Stewardship program that includes operations associated with surveillance assessment maintenance refurbishment manufacture and dismantlement of the nuclear weapons stockpile as well as research and development and certification efforts."

This is the final report on the NNSA's Security Roadmap Key Strategy 4 Develop and Sustain a Highly Capable Security Workforce. The report is the culmination of a year's work by a team of Industrial Organizational Leadership Development professionals from the National Training Center NNSA's Office of Human Capital Management and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The report is a comprehensive states of how the NNSA can significantly improve the recruitment development maturation and retention of the security professional. The report was designed to address the whole-person in that the report uses a competency-modeling concept as a key predictor in human performance. The next steps will include teaming to actively work the approved recommendations as well as establishing working groups to develop action plans for achieving success of each recommendation. The National Nuclear Security Administration NNSA is the U.S. agency responsible for enhancing national security through the military application of nuclear science. NNSA maintains and enhances the safety security and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile without nuclear explosive testing; works to reduce the global danger from weapons of mass destruction; provides the U.S. Navy with safe and effective nuclear propulsion; and responds to nuclear and radiological emergencies in the U.S. and abroad. Established by the United States Congress in 2000 NNSA is a semi-autonomous agency within the United States Department of Energy. The National Nuclear Security Administration was created by Congressional action in 1999 in the wake of the Wen Ho Lee spy scandal and other allegations that lax administration by the Department of Energy had resulted in the loss of U.S. nuclear secrets to China. Originally proposed to be an independent agency NNSA gained the reluctant support of the Clinton administration only after it was instead chartered as a sub-agency within the Department of Energy to be headed by an administrator reporting to the Secretary of Energy. The first NNSA administrator appointed was Air Force General and CIA Deputy Director John A. Gordon. NNSA has four missions with regard to national security: · To manage the U.S. nuclear weapon stockpile. · To reduce global danger from weapons of mass destruction and to promote international nuclear safety and nonproliferation. · To provide the United States Navy with safe militarily effective nuclear propulsion plants and to ensure the safe and reliable operation of those plants. · To support United States leadership in science and technology.

This had previously been Marked Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information but this marking has been struck through on every page where it had appeared. The National Nuclear Security Administration requires a sustained production capacity of no fewer than 80 pits per year PPY by 2030. NNSA is developing and installing capability at LANL in Plutonium Facility PF-4 to produced 30 ppy by 2026. The Analysis of Alternatives AOA for meeting pit production requirements completed in September 2017 assessed alternatives to close this identified mission gap in the NNSA's pit production capability. The AoA is a post Critical Decision CD-0 pre-CD-1 activity to identify a preferred alternative for conceptual design in preparation for the Deputy Secretary of Energy to make a program decision at CD-1. The pit named after the hard core found in fruits such as peaches and apricots is the core of an implosion nuclear weapon - the fissile material and any neutron reflector or tamper bonded to it. Some weapons tested during the 1950s used pits made with U-235 alone or in composite with plutonium but all-plutonium pits are the smallest in diameter and have been the standard since the early 1960s. Between 1954 and 1989 pits for US weapons were produced at the Rocky Flats Plant; the plant was later closed due to numerous safety issues. In 1996 the pit production was also relocated to Los Alamos. The current LANL production of new pits is limited to about 20 pits per year though NNSA is pushing to increase the production for the Reliable Replacement Warhead program. The US Congress however has repeatedly declined funding. Up until around 2010 Los Alamos National Laboratory had the capacity to produce 10 to 20 pits a year.
