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.

2005ref. 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."

Thus copies such as this are increasingly scarce and offer potentially significant insights as to policy issues and their resolution through comparison with the text of the officially approved and released report. 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."

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

The rear of the sleeve lists the contents: Overview Defense Applications and Modeling; Simulation and Computer Science Integrated Computing Systems University Partnerships Special Projects ASCI's future ASCI's Multidisciplinary Applications. Among the subsections are: Visualization Technilogies at the Los Alamos National Laboratory Visualization Technologies at Sandia National Laboratories ASCI White at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Science at the Level 1 Alliances and Technology Prospectus. The U.S. Department of Energy DOE established the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative ASCI in 1996. The goal of ASCI is to simulate the results of new weapons designs as well as the effects of aging on existing and new designs all in the absence of underground nuclear tests. The ASCI is an applications-driven effort with a goal to develop reliable computational models of the processes involved in the design manufacture and degradation of nuclear weapons. Based on discussions with scientists and engineers with expertise in weapons design manufacturing and in computational physics a goal of simulating full-system three-dimensional nuclear burn and safety simulation processes by the year 2004 was established. A number of applications-based milestones were identified to mark the progress from current simulation capabilities to full-system simulation capabilities. Codes development to simulate casting material aging safety forging welding of microstructures and so on. unknown
