That’s my dog Spot over there. Welcome to the not-so-wonderful world of nuclear weaponry. This book is a journey from 1945 when the first atomic bomb was detonated in the New Mexico desert to where we are today. It’s an interesting and sometimes bizarre journey. It can also be horribly frightening. Today, there are enough nuclear weapons to destroy the civilized world several times over. Over 23,000. “Enough to make the rubble bounce,” Winston Churchill said. The United States alone has over 10,000 warheads in what’s called the ‘enduring stockpile.’ In my time, we took care of things Mano-a-Mano.

  • NUCLEAR WEAPONS Action Needed to Address the W80-4 Warhead Program’S Schedule Constraints
    United States Government Accountability Office Report to Congressional Committees July 2020 NUCLEAR WEAPONS Action Needed to Address the W80-4 Warhead Program's Schedule Constraints GAO-20-409 July 2020 NUCLEAR WEAPONS Action Needed to Address the W80-4 Warhead Program’s Schedule Constraints Highlights of GAO-20-409, a report to congressional committees Why GAO Did This Study What GAO Found To maintain and modernize the U.S. The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), a separately organized nuclear arsenal, NNSA and DOD agency within the Department of Energy (DOE), has identified a range of risks conduct LEPs. In 2014, they began facing the W80-4 nuclear warhead life extension program (LEP)—including risks an LEP to produce a warhead, the related to developing new technologies and manufacturing processes as well as W80-4, to be carried on the LRSO reestablishing dormant production capabilities. NNSA is managing these risks missile. In February 2019, NNSA using a variety of processes and tools, such as a classified risk database. adopted an FPU delivery date of However, NNSA has introduced potential risk to the program by adopting a date fiscal year 2025 for the W80-4 LEP, (September 2025) for the delivery of the program’s first production unit (FPU) at an estimated cost of about $11.2 that is more than 1 year earlier than the date projected by the program’s own billion over the life of the program. schedule risk analysis process (see figure). NNSA and Department of Defense The explanatory statement (DOD) officials said that they adopted the September 2025 date partly because accompanying the 2018 appropriation the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2015 specifies that NNSA included a provision for GAO to must deliver the first warhead unit by the end of fiscal year 2025, as well as to review the W80-4 LEP.

In addition, four comment letters were received after November 14, 1983. Of the total of 144 letters afld statements, 7 were from Federal agencies and 7 were from agencies and off ices of the States of Georgia and South Carolina. Forty- eight statements were presented at public meetings conducted by DOE at Augusta and Savannah, Georgia, and at Aiken and Beau fort, South Carolina, during the week of October 31, 1983. DOE has prepared a public comment/hearing report (DOE /SR - 5009) that includes transcripts of these public meetings, written statements received at the meetings , and all comment letters received by DOE through the mail . This report has been placed in the DOE public documents rooms in Washington, D.C. , and Aiken, South Carolina, and 19 local libraries in South Carolina and Georgia. This appendix presents the individual comment letters and statements and DOE’ s responses to them. If a comment or statement has led to a revision to the text of this EIS, the revision is identified by a vertical line in the margin and a comment letter-number designation.

While nuclear security remains a major objective of FAS today, the organization has expanded its critical work to issues at the intersection of science and security. FAS publications are produced to increase the understanding of policymakers, the public, and the press about urgent issues in science and security policy.

    PHOTOBOMB ▼ The accelerators at the Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT) facility produce intense, high-energy electron beams that generate radiographs (x-rays) of nuclear-type explosions. These images help validate computer simulations of nuclear weapon performance. Photo: Michael Pierce IN THIS ISSUE 2 Letters: Innovation National security depends on pioneering scientists and engineers who respond to challenges with new, o en-surprising, ideas. 4 Abstracts: Notes and news from around the Lab Director om Mason takes the helm at Los Alamos, the Laboratory 2 4 wins eight “Oscars of Invention”, and more. FEATURES 10 Faces of innovation: Meet 10 seven scientists and engineers whose 24 groundbreaking ideas, experiments, and data have big implications for national security. 24 Beyond Trinity: 75 years of weapons advances In addition to creating the world’s rst nuclear device, Los Alamos has made nuclear weapons more e ective, safe, and speci c to military needs. 34 Additive manufacturing: The power of powder At the Laboratory’s Sigma Complex, metal components are created with powder, layer by layer, to 34 withstand extreme environments. 44 Analysis: The science of policy ree members of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) share their thoughts on innovation and how having a science background is important for shaping policy. 44 46 Being Essential: The need for speed Je rey Luehring is all about parts —weapons parts for his job in materials management and boat parts for the jet boat he drag races. 48 Accolades: e distinguished 46 achievements of Los Alamos employees. 49 Looking Back: A scuba diver explores the wreckage of the USS Arkansas, which ABOUT THE COVER: was sunk during the 1946 Baker test of Technical Area 3—the administrative 49 Operation Crossroads.

    3 Stockpile Chapter Three USNuclear Stockpile This section describes the 24 types of warheads cur- enriched uranium (oralloy) as its nuclear fissile material rently in the U.S. nuclear stockpile. As of 1983, the total and is considered volatile and unsafe. As a result, its number of warheads was an estimated 26,000. They are nuclear materials and fuzes are kept separately from the made in a wide variety of configurations with over 50 artillery projectile. The W33 can be used in two differ- different modifications and yields. The smallest war- ent yield configurations and requires the assembly and head is the man-portable nuclear land mine, known as insertion of distinct "pits" (nuclear materials cores) with the "Special Atomic Demolition Munition" (SADM). the amount of materials determining a "low" or '4high'' The SADM weighs only 58.5 pounds and has an explo- yield. sive yield (W54) equivalent to as little as 10 tons of TNT, In contrast, the newest of the nuclear warheads is the The largest yield is found in the 165 ton TITAN I1 mis- W80,5 a thermonuclear warhead built for the long-range sile, which carries a four ton nuclear warhead (W53) Air-Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM) and first deployed equal in explosive capability to 9 million tons of TNT, in late 1981.
