Analysis of 40-Year Nuclear Fuel Supply for Tritium Production; Final

200677506Washington DC: United States Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration Military Application and Stockpile Operations Office of Stockpile Technology 2006. Presumed First Edition First printing. Spiral bound. Very good. Clear plastic sheet protects front and back covers. 2 vi 48 pages printed on one side only. Acronyms and Abbreviations. Chemicals and Units of Measure. Figures. Tables. References. Appendix A--Uranium Resource Classification System. Appendix B-- Nuclear Fuel Sources Evaluation; B.1 Evaluation Methodology and Results; B.2 Definition of Uranium Source Evaluation Terms. 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.

Defense Programs Strategic Vision for 2030

200569058Washington DC: National Nuclear Security Administration Office of Defense Programs 2005. Presumed first edition/first printing. Very good. Includes illustrations. 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."

Develop and Sustain a Highly Capable Security Workforce

201774294Washington DC: United States. Department of Energy. National Nuclear Security Administration 2017. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Very good. vi 203 1 pages. Illustrations. Acronyms. References. Format us approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Cover has slight wear and soiling. 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.

Final Report for the Plutonium Pit Production Analysis of Alternatives

201776194Washington DC: United States National Nuclear Security Administration Defense Programs 2017. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Wraps. Very good. Various paginations approximately 400 pages. Figures. Tables. Appendices. List of Acronyms. 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.

Scientific Grand Challenges for National Security: The Role of Computing at the Extreme Scale: Report from the Workshop Held October 6-8 2009

200967242Washington DC: United States Department of Energy 2009. Presumed first edition/first printing. Wraps. Very good. Cover has slight wear and soiling. xii 159 12 p. Includes illustrations. Some illustrations in color. References. This publication was prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract DE-AC05-76RL01830 by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory reprot number PNNL-19379. From Wikipedia: "Exascale computing refers to computing systems capable of at least one exaFLOPS. Such capacity represents a thousandfold increase over the first petascale computer that came into operation in 2008. One exaflop is a thousand petaflops or a quintillion 1018 floating point operations per second. At a supercomputing conference in 2009 Computerworld projected exascale implementation by 2018. In January 2012 Intel purchased the InfiniBand product line from QLogic for US $125 million in order to fulfill its promise of developing exascale technology by 2018. The initiative has been endorsed by two US agencies: the Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration. The technology would be useful in various computation-intensive research areas including basic research engineering earth science biology materials science energy issues and national security. The United States has put aside $126 million for exascale computing beginning in 2012. Three projects aiming at developing technologies and software for exascale computing have been started in 2011 within the European Union. The CRESTA project Collaborative Research into Exascale Systemware Tools and Applications the DEEP project Dynamical ExaScale Entry Platform and the project Mont-Blanc. The Indian Government has committed USD 2 Billion to ISRO and Indian Institute of Science IISc Bangalore to develop a supercomputer with a performance of 132.8 exaflops by 2017. ISRO has already booked key equipment to develop the first Indian exaflop supercomputer. Most of the sub-systems will be developed in India." United States, Department of Energy paperback

Surveillance Training - SFIs

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.

The Science Vision for the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy

200967232Moffett FIeld CA: United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2009. Reprint. Second Printing. Wraps. Very good. Includes: illustrations diagrams. Various paginations approximately 125 pages. References. From Wikipedia: "The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy SOFIA is a joint project of NASA and the German Aerospace Center DLR to construct and maintain an airborne observatory. NASA awarded the contract for the development of the aircraft operation of the observatory and management of the American part of the project to the Universities Space Research Association USRA in 1996. The DSI Deutsches SOFIA Institut manages the German parts of the project which are primarily science and telescope related. SOFIA's telescope saw first light on May 26 2010. SOFIA is the successor to the Kuiper Airborne Observatory.SOFIA is based on a Boeing 747SP wide-body aircraft that has been modified to include a large door in the aft fuselage that can be opened in flight to allow a 2.5 meter diameter reflecting telescope access to the sky. This telescope is designed for infrared astronomy observations in the stratosphere at altitudes of about 41 000 feet about 12 km. SOFIA's flight capability allows it to rise above almost all of the water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere which blocks some infrared wavelengths from reaching the ground. At the aircraft's cruising altitude 85% of the full infrared range will be available. The aircraft can also travel to almost any point on the Earth's surface allowing observation from the northern and southern hemispheres. Once ready for use the expectation is for observing flights to be flown 3 or 4 nights a week for the next 20 years. SOFIA is now based at NASA's Dryden Aircraft Operations Facility at LA/Palmdale Regional Airport California while staff at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View California operate the SOFIA Science Center where astronomical observation missions are planned for the flying observatory. The NASA logo reflected in SOFIAs 2.5-meter primary mirror. SOFIA uses a 2.5-meter reflector telescope which has an oversized 2.7 meter diameter primary mirror as is common with most large infrared telescopes. The optical system uses a Cassegrain reflector design with a parabolic primary mirror and a remotely configurable hyperbolic secondary. In order to fit the telescope into the fuselage the primary is shaped to an f-number as low as 1.3 while the resulting optical layout has an f-number of 19.7. A flat tertiary dichroic mirror is used to deflect the infrared part of the beam to the Nasmyth focus where it can be analyzed. An optical mirror located behind the tertiary mirror is used for a camera guidance system. The telescope looks out of a large door in the side of the fuselage near the airplane's tail and will initially carry nine instruments for infrared astronomy at wavelengths from 1 655 micrometres and high-speed optical astronomy at wavelengths from 0.3 1.1 micrometres. The main instruments are the FLITECAM a near infrared camera covering 1 5 micrometres; FORCAST covering the mid-infrared range of 5 40 micrometres and HAWC which spans the far infrared in the range 42 210 micrometres. The other four instruments include an optical photometer and infrared spectrometers with various spectral ranges. SOFIA s telescope is by far the largest ever to be placed in an aircraft. For each mission one interchangeable science instrument will be attached to the telescope. Two groups of general purpose instruments are available. In addition an investigator can also design and build a special purpose instrument. On April 17 2012 two upgrades to HAWC were selected by NASA to increase the field of view with new detector arrays and to add the capability of measuring the polarization of dust emission from celestial sources. The open cavity housing the telescope will be exposed to high-speed turbulent winds. In addition the vibrations and motions of the aircraft introduce observing difficulties. The telescope was designed to be very lightweight with a honeycomb shape milled into the back of the mirror and polymer composite material used for the telescope.

Enhanced Test Readiness Cost Study; DOE/NV--828

200288245Las Vegas NV: U.S. Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration Nevada Operations Office 2002. Presumed to be one of some limited number of multiple originals produced. CD in a paper envelope with a clear plastic face. Very good. This disc has no distribution limitation information on its front. This CD contains one file with an approximately 70 page document that has color illustrations tabular data and briefing slides at the end. There may be a hardcopy version of this given the DOE/NV number. The content addresses the then current test readiness maintaining current posture enhancing test readiness and provided several appendixes including Threshold Test Ban Preparations and Authorization Basis including Underground Nuclear Test Standards Safety Basis Safety Management and a Device-Specific Nuclear Explosive Safety Study. Table 4 is a summary of the cost study results in Millions. The Department of Energy submitted a report to the Senate Armed Services Committee on May 20 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. Charles Anson Franklin NNSA spokesman said that the current readiness posture of 24-36-months was "a policy decision of the previous administration. This administration has made a policy decision of an 18-month readiness period." He added "It's been out there—it's not been a surprise.We've been talking about moving to an 18-month readiness posture since 2001." The changes will be fully implemented by the end of fiscal year 2005 and will cost $83 million with an additional $25-30 million needed annually to sustain the heightened state of scientific technological and personnel preparedness according to the report. The report examined a speedier transition but concluded that reaching the 18-month readiness posture sooner would cost more and disrupt other programs because of the limited number of nuclear weapons personnel.
