SANTA FE – The National Nuclear Security Administration announced Wednesday that it has approved the project definition phase and conceptual design of the Los Alamos Plutonium Pit Production Project, paving the way for the lab to ramp up production of the triggering devices for nuclear warheads.
According to an NNSA news release, the estimated cost of the project ranges from $2.7 billion to $3.9 billion. That’s because the estimates will be adjusted as the conceptual design matures to meet performance baselines, which isn’t expected until 2023, according to the release.
“NNSA leadership and LANL will continue to review this project to improve the fidelity of the current price estimate and schedule,” the release states.
