2001Best.-Nr. 90620Albuquerque NM: Sandia National Laboratories 2001. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Very good. 2 iii 162 pages plus covers. Illustrations many with color. 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 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.

2005Best.-Nr. 69058Washington 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."

This report describes and descussed alternatives for discharging the responsibility for managing and funding military application and Restricted Data functions now in ERDA It was prepared in response to Section 307 b of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974. Chapter I describes the requirement for the study. Chapter II discussed the nuclear weapons complex and weapon program including facilities management and costs and the non-weapon activities conducted by the complex. These are the major elements of the weapon-related functions then under consideration for transfer. Chapter III identified major concers suggesting a need for change or restraint against change. Chapter IV descrived the nonweapon defense=related function of ERDA including naval reactors production of special nuclear materials space reactors and other military reactors and considerations concerning their potential transfer. The study described in this report was conducted by and ERDAS task force consisting of representatives from ERDA headquarters and field operations offices the weapon laboratories the production facilities and others not directly associated with ERDA. Collaboratoion was maintained with the Department of Defense throught the office of the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Atomic Energy. From an official history of the ERDA by Alice Buck: "The Reorganization Act of 1974 required the Administrator of ERDA and the Secretary of Defense to review the feasibility of transferring the military functions formerly vested in the Atomic Energy Commission to the Department of Defense or to other federal agencies. The possible transfer of these functions which included not only weapon development and the control of Restricted Data but also certain nondefense related programs such as naval reactors space nuclear systems military power reactors and the production of special nuclear materials reflected continuing congressional concern over the issue of civilian control of the military atom. In January 1976 following a year of study Seamans concluded that a split in the management and funding responsibilities between different agencies would be detrimental to a strong nuclear weapons program. He recommended instead that the nuclear weapon program and complex be retained within ERDA but have a budget of its own separate from the budget for energy programs. The Assistant Administrator for National Security would be responsible for seeing that the weapon program received priority in the use of laboratories and production facilities while nonweapon defense-related programs would be under the direction of the Assistant Administrator for Nuclear Energy. The unique capability of the weapon research laboratories to perform significant nonnuclear research in the energy development field was another factor in the final decision to leave the division of military application and the associated nuclear activities within the Energy Research and Development Administration."
