‎Advanced Simulation and Computing Program Plan FY06; NA-ASC-106R-05-Vol. 1-Rev ; SAND 2005-5961P‎

‎Albuquerque NM: Sandia National Laboratories 2005. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Wraps. Very good. 2 ii 32 4 pages. Footnotes. Illustrations color. Appendices A-E includes Glossary Visuals. Tables. ASC Timeline. Cover has minor wear and soiling. The Advanced Simulation and Computing Program ASC is a cornerstone of the Stockpile Stewardship Program providing simulation capabilities and computational resources to support the annual stockpile assessment and certification to study advanced nuclear-weapons design and manufacturing processes to analyze accident scenarios and weapons aging and to provide the tools to enable Stockpile Life Extension Programs SLEPs and the resolution of Significant Finding Investigations SFIs. This requires a balanced resource including technical staff hardware simulation software and computer science solutions. This Program Plan describes the ASC strategy and the deliverables required to accomplish the FY 2006-2010 multifaceted objectives defines program goals introduces the new national work breakdown structure and details the new subprograms their strategics and their associated performance indicators. The plan also includes ASC Level 1 Milestones and the top ten risks. To ensure synchronizations with the SSP's needs the Program Plan will be reviewed and updated annually. 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. 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. Within the ASC program there are six subdivisions each having their own role in the extension of the life of the stockpile. Facility Operations and User Support: The Facility Operations and User Support subdivision is responsible for the physical computers and facilities and the computing network within ASC. They are responsible for making sure the tri-lab network computing storage space power usage and the customer computing resources are all in line. Computational Systems and Software Environment: The Computational and User Support subdivision is responsible for maintaining and creating the supercomputer software according to NNSA's standards. They also deal with the data networking and software tools. The ASCI Path Forward project substantially funded the initial development of the Lustre parallel file system from 2001 to 2004. Verification and Validation: The Verification and Validation subdivision is responsible for mathematically verifying the simulations and outcomes. They help software engineers write more precise codes in order to decrease the margin of error when the computations are run. Physics and Engineering Models: The Physics and Engineering Models subdivision is responsible for deciphering the mathematical and physical analysis of nuclear weapons. They integrate physics models into the codes in order to gain a more accurate simulation. They deal with the way that the nuclear weapon will act under certain conditions based on physics. They also study nuclear properties vibrations high explosives advanced hydrodynamics material strength and damage thermal and fluid response and radiation and electrical responses. Integrated Codes: The Integrated Codes subdivision is responsible for the mathematical codes that are produced by the supercomputers. They use these mathematical codes and present them in a way that is understandable to humans. These codes are then used by the National Nuclear Society Administration the Stockpile Steward Program Life Extension Program and Significant Finding Investigation in order to decide the next steps that need to be taken in order to secure and lengthen the life of the nuclear stockpile. Advanced Technology Development and Mitigation: The Advanced Technology Development and Mitigation subdivision is responsible for researching developments in high performance computing. Once information is found on the next generation of high performance computing they decide what software and hardware needs to be adapted in order to prepare for the next generation of computers.

‎Amarillo TX: National Nuclear Security Administration Pantex Plant c2011. Presumed First thus. Patches. Very good. The patch is about 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches but the top is rounded so it is more like an arched window than a full square. It has a black border. The center has the image of the bomb a big dog and the text "B53" and "Last of the Big Dogs. On an orange border in black letters is "NNSA SS-21 Dismantlement DOE Pantex LANL LLNL SNL Y12 OST" From Wikipedia: The Mk/B53 was a high-yield bunker buster thermonuclear weapon developed by the United States during the Cold War. Deployed on Strategic Air Command bombers the B53 with a yield of 9 megatons was the most powerful weapon in the U.S. nuclear arsenal after the last B41 nuclear bombs were retired in 1976. The B53 was the basis of the W-53 warhead carried by the Titan II Missile which was decommissioned in 1987. Fifty B53s were retained during that time as part of the "hedge" portion of the Enduring Stockpile. The last B53 was disassembled on 25 October 2011 a year ahead of schedule. Development of the weapon began in 1955 by Los Alamos National Laboratory based on the earlier Mk 21 and Mk 46 weapons. In March 1958 the Strategic Air Command issued a request for a new Class C bomb to replace the earlier Mk 41. A revised version of the Mk 46 became the TX-53 in 1959. The Mk 53 entered production in 1962 and was built through June 1965. It entered service aboard B-47 Stratojet B-52G Stratofortress and B-58 Hustler bomber aircraft in the mid-1960s. From 1968 it was redesignated B53. Some early versions of the bomb were dismantled beginning in 1967. The B53 was also intended to be retired in the 1980s but 50 units remained in the active stockpile until the deployment of the B61-11 in 1997. At that point the obsolete B53s were slated for immediate disassembly; however the process of disassembling the units was greatly hampered by safety concerns as well as a lack of resources. In 2010 authorization was given to disassemble the 50 bombs at the Pantex plant in Texas. The process of dismantling the last remaining B53 bomb in the stockpile was completed in 2011. It was intended as a bunker buster weapon using a surface blast after laydown deployment to transmit a shock wave through the earth to collapse its target. Attacks against the Soviet deep underground leadership shelters in the Chekhov/Sharapovo area south of Moscow envisaged multiple B53/W53 exploding at ground level. It has since been supplanted in such roles by the earth-penetrating B61 Mod 11 a bomb that penetrates the surface to deliver much more of its explosive energy into the ground and therefore needs a much smaller yield to produce the same effects. The B53 was intended to be retired in the 1980s but 50 units remained in the active stockpile until the deployment of the B61-11 in 1997. At that point the obsolete B53s were slated for immediate disassembly; however the process of disassembling the units was greatly hampered by safety concerns and a lack of resources. The last remaining B53 bomb began the disassembly processes on Tuesday 25 October 2011 at the Energy Department's Pantex Plant. National Nuclear Security Administration, Pantex Plant unknown‎

‎Washington DC: National Nuclear Security Administration Office of Defense Programs 2016. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Three Ring Binder. Good. Unpaginated with about 1.5 inches of material. This binder contains Tabs 1 through 7 on Management Technology and Production CNS Pantex CNS Y-12 NSC KC LANL LLNL SNL and SRS and Tabs 8 through 13 on Production Support CNS Pantex CNS Y-12 NSC KC LANL SNL and SRS Pencil notes on table of contents precedes Tab 1. Handwritten notes observed on several pages. Under MTP at Tab 4 LANL there is an additional sheet unpunched laid in entitled LANL FY 17 Budget Scenarios: Current Core & Transitional Scope. This work is a compilation of vuegraph presentations. While unmarked on the cover there is some material marked Official Use Only which it is understood not longer applies since that limitation was almost certainly due to the pre-decisional nature of then upcoming budget decisions. Such decisions were made a number of years ago such that there can be no fiscal or policy sensitivities remaining. Stockpile stewardship refers to the United States program of reliability testing and maintenance of its nuclear weapons without the use of nuclear testing. Because no new nuclear weapons have been developed by the United States since 1992 even its youngest weapons are at least 27 years old as of 2020. Aging weapons can fail or act unpredictably in a number of ways: the high explosives that condense their fissile material can chemically degrade their electronic components can suffer from decay their radioactive plutonium/uranium cores are potentially unreliable and the isotopes used by thermonuclear weapons may be chemically unstable as well. Since the United States has also not tested nuclear weapons since 1992 this leaves the task of its stockpile maintenance resting on the use of simulations using non-nuclear explosives tests and supercomputers among other methods and applications of scientific knowledge about physics and chemistry to the specific problems of weapons aging the latter method is what is meant when various agencies refer to their work as "science-based". It also involves the manufacture of additional plutonium "pits" to replace ones of unknown quality and finding other methods to increase the lifespan of existing warheads and maintain a confident nuclear deterrent. Most work for stockpile stewardship is undertaken at United States Department of Energy national laboratories mostly at Los Alamos National Laboratory Sandia National Laboratories Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory the Nevada Test Site and Department of Energy productions facilities which employ around 27500 personnel and cost billions of dollars per year to operate. The Stockpile Stewardship and Management Program is a United States Department of Energy program to ensure that the nuclear capabilities of the United States are not eroded as nuclear weapons age.

‎High Explosives Integrated Strategy Team Files 11/12/2002; HE Team Closeout‎

‎Washington DC: National Nuclear Security Administration Office of Defense Programs 2002. Copy of Team Files. CD-R. Very good. This CD contains a treasure trove of information on High Explosive operations and facilities at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory the Los Alamos National Laboratory Sandia National Laboratories the Nevada Test Site and the Pantex Plant. This CD has the files that are excel spread sheets PDF files JPG files Power Point files and Word files. The material includes the scope team membership information from the sites information on sizing etc. This information was developed to address consolidation options between nuclear weapon laboratories and plants with an aim to reduce some costs. Major high explosive operations included research and development explosive testing detonator and small quantity production and 'main charge' production for nuclear weapons. Posted on-line--Los Alamos demonstrated the first use of plastic-bonded explosives in a nuclear explosion in 1956. This development allowed the shift from precision machined cast explosives to formulations containing high concentrations of high-energy density compounds with reduced sensitivity more uniformity and better mechanical characteristics. Since the 1960s Livermore has been researching and developing safer HE for Livermore-designed weapons. The plastic coating that binds the explosive granules typically 5 to 20% of each formulation by weight is what gives each PBX its distinctive characteristics. Pressing a PBX molding powder converts it into a solid mass with the polymer binder providing both mechanical rigidity and reduced sensitivity to accidental detonation. The choice of binder affects hardness safety and stability. The TATB-based formulations of Livermore's LX-17 and Los Alamos's PBX 9502 are "insensitive" high explosives IHE; others are termed "conventional."

‎Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention; Annual Report Fiscal Year 2001‎

‎Washington DC: National Nuclear Security Administration Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation 2001. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Wraps. Very good. 19 13 pages. Mostly printed on both sides of a sheet. Sheets/project posters on several IPP projects are included at the back of this document. This year's report covers a year that involved a number of exciting developments in the Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention IPP program. The program receives a significant vote of confidence for its commercialization focus with for successful IPP projects attracting $56 million in private venture capital funds. These funds were in addition to the already substantial contribution from U.S. industry partners who more than match U.S. government funding on each new IPP project. The IPP program also resumed operation in Kazakhstan and Ukraine adding the scientific talent of these countries to the technology resource base now available to U.S. industry partners. The program's nonproliferation objectives are met with increasing success as a growing number of former Soviet weapons scientists are engaged both in the course of ongoing work as well as in the jobs that are being created by successfully completed IPP projects. Preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction is a central part of US national security policy. A principal instrument of the Department of Energy`s DOE`s program for securing weapons of mass destruction technology and expertise and removing incentives for scientists engineers and technicians in the newly independent states NIS of the former Soviet Union to go to rogue countries or assist terrorist groups is the Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention IPP. IPP was initiated pursuant to the 1994 Foreign Operations Appropriations Act. IPP is a nonproliferation program with a commercialization strategy. IPP seeks to enhance US national security and to achieve nonproliferation objectives by engaging scientists engineers and technicians from former NIS weapons institutes; redirecting their activities in cooperatively-developed commercially viable non-weapons related projects. These projects lead to commercial and economic benefits for both the NIS and the US IPP projects are funded in Russian Ukraine Kazakhstan and Belarus. This booklet offers an overview of the IPP program as well as a sampling of some of the projects which are currently underway.

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.

Some of the cost breakdown is by: Chargebacks Purchases Travel Labor Equipment Training Subcontracts Other Direct Costs Material Institutional costs Service Center and Overheads. This is a rare snapshot into the range of expenditures and the monthly progression of expenditures. Cost analysis is a comparison of costs. Costs used to prepare financial statements are not the same as those used to control operations. Costs may be controllable or non-controllable and are subject to time periods and constraints. For example controllable costs are those the manager may authorize. However costs that may be able to be controlled over the long-term may not be controllable in the short-term.<br/><br/>Total cost is the relationship between production quantity and costs expressed as: Total cost = Fixed Cost Variable Cost Output<br/><br/>Costs are classified according to their behavior. A cost's behavior is how the cost responds to changes in the level of the business activity. Costs are broadly divided into variable costs and fixed costs. For example the total variable cost increases and decreases in relation to the changes in business activity levels. Conversely fixed costs are not affected by business activity level changes remaining the same throughout. National Nuclear Security Administration unknown‎

This is a rare surviving snapshot of the U.S. Weapons Program development and assessment of Quantification of Margins and Uncertainties in the context of the U.S. Nuclear Weapons Program absent underground testing. Derived from Wikipeida: Quantification of Margins and Uncertainty QMU is a decision-support methodology for complex technical decisions. QMU focuses on the identification characterization and analysis of performance thresholds and their associated margins for engineering systems that are evaluated under conditions of uncertainty particularly when portions of those results are generated using computational modeling and simulation. QMU has traditionally been applied to complex systems where comprehensive experimental test data is not readily available and cannot be easily generated for either end-to-end system execution or for specific subsystems of interest. Examples of systems where QMU has been applied include nuclear weapons performance qualification and stockpile assessment. QMU focuses on characterizing in detail the various sources of uncertainty that exist in a model thus allowing the uncertainty in the system response output variables to be well quantified. These sources are frequently described in terms of probability distributions to account for the stochastic nature of complex engineering systems. The characterization of uncertainty supports comparisons of design margins for key system performance metrics to the uncertainty associated with their calculation by the model. QMU supports risk-informed decision-making processes where computational simulation results provide one of several inputs to the decision-making authority. There is currently no standardized methodology across the simulation community for conducting QMU; the term is applied to a variety of different modeling and simulation techniques that focus on rigorously quantifying model uncertainty in order to support comparison to design margins. The fundamental concepts of QMU were originally developed concurrently at several national laboratories supporting nuclear weapons programs in the late 1990s including Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Laboratory. The original focus of the methodology was to support nuclear stockpile decision-making an area where full experimental test data could no longer be generated for validation due to bans on nuclear weapons testing. The methodology has since been applied in other applications where safety or mission critical decisions for complex projects must be made using results based on modeling and simulation. Examples outside of the nuclear weapons field include applications at NASA for interplanetary spacecraft and rover development missile six-degree-of-freedom simulation results and characterization of material properties in terminal ballistic encounters. QMU focuses on quantification of the ratio of design margin to model output uncertainty. The process begins with the identification of the key performance thresholds for the system which can frequently be found in the systems requirements documents. These thresholds also referred to as performance gates can specify an upper bound of performance a lower bound of performance or both in the case where the metric must remain within the specified range. For each of these performance thresholds the associated performance margin must be identified. The margin represents the targeted range the system is being designed to operate in to safely avoid the upper and lower performance bounds. These margins account for aspects such as the design safety factor the system is being developed to as well as the confidence level in that safety factor. QMU focuses on determining the quantified uncertainty of the simulation results as they relate to the performance threshold margins. This total uncertainty includes all forms of uncertainty related to the computational model as well as the uncertainty in the threshold and margin values. The identification and characterization of these values allows the ratios of margin-to-uncertainty to be calculated for the system. These M/U values can serve as quantified inputs that can help authorities make risk-informed decisions regarding how to interpret and act upon results based on simulations. Verification and validation V & V of a model is closely interrelated with QMU. Verification is broadly acknowledged as the process of determining if a model was built correctly; validation activities focus on determining if the correct model was built. V&V against available experimental test data is an important aspect of accurately characterizing the overall uncertainty of the system response variables. V&V seeks to make maximum use of component and subsystem-level experimental test data to accurately characterize model input parameters and the physics-based models associated with particular sub-elements of the system. The use of QMU in the simulation process helps to ensure that the stochastic nature of the input variables as well as the underlying uncertainty in the model are properly accounted for when determining the simulation runs required to establish model credibility prior to accreditation.

‎Albuquerque NM: National Nuclear Security Administration 2005. Presumed First Edition First issuance thus. CD. Very good. On Hold Shelf. This disk has six files on it: 1. Welcome letter 2. Course Material 3. Self Review 4. Reference Material 5. Software and 6. Read Me. In the course material area there is information of special access programs security policies threat briefing OPSEC overview a Baseline Security Manual and practical exercises. The reference material is indicated as including Executive Orders Presidential Decision Documents Public Laws Director of Central Intelligence Directives 6 DCIDs DoD Manuals DOE policies and other associated materials. In opening the disk there was a reference to SNL so it is assumed that Sandia National Laboratories assisted at least in the production of the CD if not in the development of this training. This CD is marked 'Official Use Only" but previous experience in requesting a determination as to whether the dissemination limitation has almost without exception resulted in silence which we take after a period of time as indicating consent. Special access programs SAPs in the U.S. Federal Government are security protocols that provide highly classified information with safeguards and access restrictions that exceed those for regular classified information. SAPs can range from black projects to routine but especially-sensitive operations such as COMSEC maintenance or Presidential transportation support. In addition to routine controls a SAP may impose more stringent investigative or adjudicative requirements specialized nondisclosure agreements special terminology or markings exclusion from standard contract investigations carve-outs and centralized billet systems. There was no specific organization within the NNSA indicated on the CD that a question on dissemination could be referred to. Since this information is more than a decade old and because multiple requests for status on other Official Use Only materials have been ignored it is assumed that the OUO limitation no long applies.
