Las Vegas, NV: Department of Energy, National National Security Administration, Nevada Nuclear Security Site, 2012. Presumed First thus. Other. Approximately 2.25 inches by 2.5 inches pin in a plastic box of approximately 3 inches by 3 inches. It is shaped like the state of Nevada. It has two pins and backs. The image is the U.K. and U.S. flags above a pair of hands shaking. At the top the text is "NNSS Nevada National Security Site" and at the bottom the text is "50 Years of Collaborated Experiments 2012". The 1958 US–UK Mutual Defense Agreement is a bilateral treaty between the United States and the United Kingdom on nuclear weapons cooperation. It allows the United States and the UK to exchange nuclear materials, technology and information. The treaty was signed on 3 July 1958, after the British hydrogen bomb program successfully tested a hydrogen bomb in Operation Grapple on 8 November 1957. The treaty provided for the sale to the UK of one complete nuclear submarine propulsion plant, plus ten years' supply of enriched uranium to fuel it. Other nuclear material was also acquired from the United States under the treaty. The treaty paved the way for the Polaris Sales Agreement with the UK Polaris program and Trident nuclear programme using American missiles with British nuclear warheads. The most recent renewal extended it to 31 December 2024. More

Washington DC: Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration, Defense Programs, ASCI Program, 2001. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. [2], viii, 84, [6] pages. Illustrations (most in color). Definitions and URLs. Technology Roadmaps. Figures. 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 additional data from underground nuclear tests. This was a daunting challenge and required simulation capabilities that far surpassed those then available. The Advanced Simulation and Computing Program (or ASC), which grew out of the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative, 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. More

Washington DC: National Nuclear Security Administration, 2002. Contemporary Xerox-style copy. Staplebound. [4], 18, [18 pages of Risk & Opportunity Assessment], 19-21 pages Fold-outs. This 90=day study was commissioned at the request of NA-12 senior management, with the express purpose of finding weaknesses in the current ADAPT Campaign-level management and administrative processes and developing fixes, alternatives, and/or instituting new processes. The study was facilitated by experts from Westinghouse Savannah River Corp. and used their approach to systems engineering. The core members of the analysis team consisted of the seven ADAPT site manages and three MTE (Major Technical Effort) managers. The team was lead by the NA-12 Campaign Manager in collaboration with the NA-11 and NA-12 HQ ADAPT leads. The team developed a new vision for ADAPT with the future of the Nuclear Weapons Complex (NWC) in mind. Supporting the vision was a set of eleven goals that were intended to support a balance between short-term vs. long-term development needs, efficient processes and procedures vs. effective stewardship and optimization of limited funds, site-unique capability improvement vs. increased multi-site cooperation and collaboration; and improved communication of priorities, problems, expectations, and requirements both from and to designers, weapons program managers, other campaigns, and senior management.

Washington DC: National Nuclear Security Administration, 2008. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Single sheet, printed on both sides. This is an approximately 8.5 inch by 11 inch sheet of stiff card paper, folded at the center to create four 5.5 by 8.5 inch panels. Illustrations are on the front and back panels. Text is on all panels. Marty was born February 19,1953 in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. He was a graduate of Montgomery High School in 1971, the U.S. Naval Academy in 1975, and the George Washington University in 1981. Marty was a U.S. Naval officer for 20 years and civil servant for 20 years with 8 of those years in the Senior Executive Service of the U.S. Department of Energy. He retired for the third time in April 2018 after 4 years at Honeywell. Marty honorably served his country in a number of Uniformed Service, civilian, and private sector career. This event program marked his departure from the Office of Defense Programs to take on a critically important Department of Energy position at the United States Embassy in Beijing, People's Republic of China, where he was the Secretary's Representative and Senior DOE representative in China. Copies of such event programs rarely survive the event itself. Presiding at the departure event was Deputy Administrator for Defense Programs Robert L. Smolen and making the major presentation was Thomas P. D'Agostino, Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration. More

2001. Fourth Printing [stated]. Velobound. Various paginations (approximately 180 pages). Illustrations (color). Bibliography. Appendices A-K (includes Glossary and Acronyms). Figures. Distribution memorandum laid in. In its fiscal year (FY) 2001 Energy and Water Development Appropriation, Congress directed the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to complete a study that “includes conclusions as to whether the full-scale NIF [National Ignition Facility] is required in order to maintain the safety and reliability of the current nuclear weapons stockpile, and whether alternatives to the NIF could achieve the objective of maintaining the safety and reliability of the current nuclear weapons stockpile.” To meet this requirement, the NNSA has conducted a detailed study of the role of high-energy-density physics (HEDP) and NIF in the Stockpile Stewardship Program (SSP). The principal finding of this study is that a vital HEDP Program is an essential component of the SSP. Based on this finding, the Office of Defense Programs (DP) recommends the continuation of the baseline HEDP Program, including 192-beam NIF, with the goal of achieving ignition. Section 3.4.6 addresses an aspect of nuclear weapons effects testing. Section 4.4 is entitled Weapons Effects. More

Albuquerque, NM: National Nuclear Security Administration, 2005. Presumed First Edition, First issuance thus. CD. 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.

Las Vegas, NV: National Nuclear Security Administration, Nevada Field Office, Office of Public Affairs, 2015. Presumed First January 2015 printing for Rev 1. Single sheet, printed on both sides. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Illustrations (one in color) and text on both sides. The Nevada Test Site was the primary testing location of American nuclear devices from 1951 to 1992; 928 announced nuclear tests occurred there. Of those, 828 were underground. (Sixty-two of the underground tests included multiple, simultaneous nuclear detonations, adding 93 detonations and bringing the total number of NTS nuclear detonations to 1,021, of which 921 were underground.) The site is covered with subsidence craters from the testing. The NTS was the United States' primary location for tests smaller than 1 Mt (4.2 PJ). 126 tests were conducted elsewhere, including most larger tests. Many of these occurred at the Pacific Proving Grounds in the Marshall Islands. The last atmospheric test detonation at the Nevada Test Site was "Little Feller I" on July 17, 1962. More
