Los Alamos, NM: Los Alamos National Laboratory, 1984. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. [2], 17, [1] pages (including covers). Illustrations. Staplebound. Classified information is material that a government body deems to be sensitive information that must be protected. Access is restricted by law or regulation to particular groups of people with the necessary security clearance and need to know, and intentional mishandling of the material can incur criminal penalties. A formal security clearance is required to view or handle classified documents or to access classified data. Documents and other information must be properly marked "by the author" with one of several (hierarchical) levels of sensitivity—e.g. restricted, confidential, secret and top secret. The choice of level is based on an impact assessment; governments have their own criteria, which include how to determine the classification of an information asset, and rules on how to protect information classified at each level. Classifications can be used with additional keywords that give detailed instructions on how data should be used or protected. More
Los Alamos, NM: Los Alamos National Laboratory, 2013. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. [2], 33, [1] pages. Illustrations (color). Format is 5.5 inches and 8.5 inches. Los Alamos National Laboratory (Los Alamos or LANL for short) is a United States Department of Energy national laboratory initially organized during World War II for the design of nuclear weapons as part of the Manhattan Project. Los Alamos National Laboratory's mission is to solve national security challenges through scientific excellence. The laboratory’s strategic plan reflects U.S. priorities spanning nuclear security, intelligence, defense, emergency response, nonproliferation, counterterrorism, energy security, emerging threats, and environmental management. This strategy is aligned with priorities set by the Department of Energy (DOE), the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), and national strategy guidance documents, such as the Nuclear Posture Review, the National Security Strategy, and the Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future.

Los Alamos, NM: Los Alamos National Laboratory, 2008. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Brochure. Format is approximately 25.5 inches by 11 inches, folded into six panels, three front and three back. Illustrations (color). Diagrams. Nice depiction of the first and second axis with a nice inset illustration of a special dual-axis containment system. Technical specifications for each axis in a table. Item has slight wear and soiling. Details of DARHT expectations and capabilities presented. The Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test Facility (DARHT) is a facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory which is part of the Department of Energy's stockpile stewardship program. It uses two large X-ray machines to record three-dimensional interior images of materials. In most experiments, materials undergo hydrodynamic shock to simulate the implosion process in nuclear bombs and/or the effects of severe hydrodynamic stress. The tests are described as "full-scale mockups of the events that trigger the nuclear detonation". The powerful pulsed X-ray beams allow for an ultra-fast motion picture to be constructed showing the details of the process being studied in three dimensions. More

Los Alamos, NM: Los Alamos National Laboratory, 1997. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Spiral bound. 15 sheets (printed on one side only). Copies of material such as this are ephemeral and rarely survive this long. This includes two presentations on Strategic Computing Complex; one by James L. Holt, and the second by Nicholas Nagy. Illustrations (cover has cover). Clear plastic cover at front. Los Alamos asserted that acquiring high end computer platforms, developing operating systems, visualization tools, and high bandwidth long distance networks were required but were not by themselves sufficient to establish a simulation system. Los Alamos understood that a high performance communications corridor between the computer platform and the weapon designers, analysts, and engineers were needed to apply terascale simulations to weapons assessment and certification issues. Los Alamos understood that new facilities that had enough power, cooling and space for the computer platforms were also required. They proposed the Strategic Computing Complex to meet this need. More

The disc contains a Milestone Summary, Error-Model Formulation, Verification of AMR {Adaptive Mesh Refinement] Simulation, Calculation Verification, Solution Error Analysis, and Dynamic Sphere Test Problem. 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. 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. The ASC program has develop supercomputers with increasing power to compute the simulations. More
Los Alamos, NM: Los Alamos National Laboratory, 2008. Presumed First Edition, First printing. DVD RW. The Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) program is the premier source of internally directed research and development funding at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The LDRD program follows a strategic guidance derived from the missions of the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Nuclear Security Administration, and the Laboratory. To execute that strategy, it creates a free market for ideas that draws upon the bottom-up creativity of the Laboratory’s best and brightest researchers. The combination of strategic guidance and free-market competition provides a continual stream of capabilities that positions the Laboratory to accomplish its missions. The LDRD program provides the Director with the opportunity to strategically invest in long-term, high-risk, and potentially high-payoff research that strengthens the Laboratory’s capabilities to solve national problems.

Los Alamos, NM: Los Alamos National Laboratory, 1989. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. 8 pages (including covers). Illustrations. This is an overview, originally treated as Official Use Only, of the participation of LANL in the Intelligence Community (IC) as an extension of DOE's responsibilities under Section 1.13 of Executive Order (EO) 12333, United States Intelligence Activities. The International Technology (IT) Division had been designated by the Laboratory Director as the focal point for all intelligence-related and foreign-technology activities within LANL. In this capacity, IT Division was considered an element of the IC and was exempt from contractor status under Director of Central Intelligence Directive 1.7. The purpose of this brochure was to advise IC element so the wide range of LANL's expert technical, analytical and research capabilities that could have application in solving intelligence-related problems. The Laboratory has provided technical support to the IC as far back as 1943 when its scientists assessed the status of Third Reich's nuclear weapons research. More

Los Alamos, NM: Los Alamos National Laboratory, 2002. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. [2], iv, 108 pages. Illustrations (figures, tables, many with color). Appendices (including Acronyms). Marked Official Use Only but this limitation is understood to have been overtaken by both events and the passage of time. Distribution letter laid in. With the addition of interim War Reserve (WR) pit production, Los Alamos National Laboratory's (LANL) National Nuclear Security Administration (NASA) manufacturing mission expands to five major product lines. LANL's Production Agency (PA) role is now recognized as a significant one. The close linkage among the science, research and development (R&D), design and production activities at LANL promises to be of great benefit as a foundation upon which to build a robust manufacturing enterprise. Continued success requires that LANL take a comprehensive, integrated view of manufacturing in terms of both production management and technology deployment. More
