International Technology Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory; IT (OUO)-89-325

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. 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. The lab's existence was announced to the world in the post-WWII era, when it became known universally as Los Alamos. In the years since the 1940s, Los Alamos was responsible for the development of the hydrogen bomb, and many other variants of nuclear weapons. . Los Alamos' nuclear work is currently thought to relate primarily to computer simulations and stockpile stewardship. The development of the Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test Facility will allow complex simulations of nuclear tests to take place without full explosive yields. The laboratory also performs work for the Department of Defense (DoD), Intelligence Community (IC), and Department of Homeland Security (DHS), among others. Condition: Very good.
