Stockpile stewardship refers to the United States program of reliability testing and maintenance of its nuclear weapons without the use of nuclear testing. 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. Most work for stockpile stewardship is undertaken at United States Department of Energy national laboratories (Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) and the Nevada Test Site, and Department of Energy production facilities. Condition: Very good.
