A B Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory UCRL-AR-143313-08 Director’s Statement George H. Miller, Director The transition to a new contractor to manage and operate the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) was completed at the end of September 2007, but change at the Laboratory will continue. The new management team, Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC (LLNS) has an exciting vision for the future of the Laboratory—providing national security in a global context. Our vision is shaped by and aligns with the National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA’s) goal of transforming the nation’s nuclear weapons complex to make it smaller, safer, more secure, and more cost-effective as we continue to meet the nation’s vital security needs. In NNSA’s preferred alternative for Complex Transformation, LLNL serves as a Center of Excellence for nuclear design and engineering. Further, the plan identifies LLNL as a Center of Excellence for supercomputing, high-explosive research and development, and high-energy-density physics. This designation recognizes unique strengths and capabilities at LLNL, and it leverages the major investments NNSA has made in the Terascale Simulation Facility and Advanced Simulation and Computing supercomputers at Livermore, the High-Explosive Applications Facility, and the National Ignition Facility (NIF). These critical facilities will provide complex-wide support. NIF will also serve as a user facility where academic researchers will have opportunities to explore the frontiers of science. LLNL has begun to take steps to reduce costs and better position the Laboratory for the future by consolidating into a smaller, more efficient operation, and by looking for ways to expedite change. We believe our actions and proposed plans on facilities and infrastructure, as reported in this FY09 Ten year Site Plan (TYSP), will take the Laboratory well into the next decade, in synergy with supporting the preferred alternative for Complex Transformation. Complex Transformation not only builds on the special strengths at NNSA sites, it entails consolidation. We have already started shipping special nuclear materials from the Livermore site. Consolidation of Category I/II quantities of these materials to fewer sites in the complex will lower overall costs and enhance security. Similarly, long-term plans call for closure of the Contained Firing Facility when its use for hydrodynamic testing is no longer programmatically necessary and reduced NNSA support for Site 300. As these changes occur, Livermore scientists and engineers will carry out aspects of their important programmatic work at other sites. As this TYSP describes, we are aggressively addressing legacy space at the Livermore site using a highly cost-effective, best-in-class approach to decommissioning and demolition. Regardless of specifics to improve the complex, one of the major goals set by the LLNS team is to improve the cost efficiency of work performed at the Laboratory while meeting high standards in safety, security, and environmental management and continuing Livermore’s tradition of innovation and scientific excellence. Some of our best practices in facilities and infrastructure management are already being shared with others in the complex. As we continuously improve and increase cost efficiency in other areas, we will share lessons learned. FY09 Ten Year Site Plan i UCRL-AR-143313-08 Centers of Excellence, consolidation, and greater cost efficiencies—our actions and plans demonstrate our commitment to a smaller, safer, more secure, and more cost-effective NNSA weapons complex. In the Livermore tradition, we will also continue to explore “game changing” ways to make improvements, such as the technology innovations that were part of our Reliable Replacement Warhead proposal. In addition, we will expand Work for Others at the Laboratory in a way that helps to support the critical skills and capabilities needed for our nuclear weapons and nuclear nonproliferation missions. As our TYSP highlights, it is a time of change at LLNL. What remains fixed are our important national security responsibilities and the prospect of exciting scientific discoveries and technological advances to meet mission needs. ii Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory UCRL-AR-143313-08 Table of Contents Director’s Statement ............................................................................... i List of Figures ........................................................................................ vi List of Acronyms .................................................................................... vii 1.0 Executive Summary/Future State .................................................... 1-1 2.0 Assumptions .................................................................................... 2-1 2.1 Site Boundaries ............................................................................................. 2-2 2.2 Facility Funding ........................................................................................... 2-3 2.3 Security and Safeguards ................................................................................ 2-3 3.0 Mission Needs/Program Descriptions .............................................. 3-1 3.1 NNSA Missions, Programs, and Workload ................................................... 3-1 3.2 Non-NNSA Missions, Programs, and Workload ........................................... 3-5 3.3 Significant Other NNSA Work ..................................................................... 3-8 3.4 Facilities and Infrastructure Impact in Support of Information and Technology ............................................................................................. 3-9 4.0 Real Property Asset Management .................................................... 4-1 4.1 Site Footprint Management/Excess Facilities Disposition .............................. 4-1 4.2 Future Space Needs....................................................................................... 4-2 4.3 Demolition of Excess Facilities ...................................................................... 4-3 4.4 Deferred Maintenance Reduction/Facility Condition.................................... 4-4 4.5 Site Infrastructure ......................................................................................... 4-12 4.6 Security/Security Infrastructure .................................................................... 4-13 4.7 Land Use and Environmental Management .................................................. 4-14 5.0 Facilities and Infrastructure Projects/Activities and Cost Profile ..... 5-1 6.0 Changes from Prior Year TYSP ....................................................... 6-1 FY09 Ten Year Site Plan iii UCRL-AR-143313-08 Attachment A ..........................................................................................
