Weapon Surveillance Facility IPT Final Report ; Requirements Doc. Expert Choice Files 7/25/08 [written on disc label side]
Washington DC: National Nuclear Security Administration, Defense Programs, Program Integration Office, Office of Program Management & Evaluation, 2008. Presumed First Edition, First issuance of disc (content included draft material). CD-R. The NNSA proposed a new Weapon Surveillance Facility (WSF) for non-destructive weapon and pit surveillance to supplement the existing Weapons Evaluation Test Laboratory. By relocating some testing now done at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the NNSA says the new WSF would help consolidate non-destructive testing facilities and reduce the number of sites in the nuclear weapons complex with Category I/II SNM. Since all significant quantities of Cat I/II SNM have now been removed from Livermore, the NNSA must either find another location for the environmental testing carried out there, or seek special authorization to allow Livermore to continue working with SNM for limited periods. The WSF could also free up some Pantex bays now used for evaluation to return to use for assembly/disassembly operations. This CD includes a draft final report of the Weapon surveillance Facility Integrated Project Team (unfilled out Official Use Only stamp which as such has no force or effect). In addition to the 23 page draft report there are six word Expert Choice files Minimize investment Impact, Minimize Cost Impact, Workforce Impact, Reduced Length of Transition, Reduce square footage, Storage Consolidation Decision Criteria, and WSF Design Criteria. Some of the functions were being performed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (building 332) but the major emphasis was on options for new construction at Pantex. This type of material rarely survives in either hardcopy or electronic form. This offers a rare snapshot into facility planning and mission assignments within the United States Nuclear Weapons Complex. Condition: Good.
