(Eddie Moore/Albuquerque Journal) Copyright © 2021 Albuquerque Journal SANTA FE – Something big – as in billions – is happening at Los Alamos National Laboratory. ...................... As part of efforts to ramp up the upgrade of the U.S. nuclear arsenal, LANL, along with the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, have been tasked with manufacturing hundreds of plutonium pits, the element within the core of a nuclear warhead that sets off the explosion. The project will cost in the tens of billions of dollars between the two national laboratories over the next 10 years, with a big chunk of it directed to the construction of pit production facilities and installation of infrastructure at LANL, the birthplace of the atomic bomb.

Elements of LANL plan to produce pits approved

Copyright © 2021 Albuquerque Journal 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.

DOE/NNSA Approves Critical Decision 1 For Los Alamos National Laboratory Plutonium Pit Production Project

DOE/NNSA Approves Critical Decision 1 For Los Alamos National Laboratory Plutonium Pit Production Project …Recommended approach to producing 30 plutonium pits per year identified WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) has announced the approval of the Critical Decision 1 (CD-1) milestone for the Los Alamos Plutonium Pit Production Project (LAP4) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). CD-1 approval marks the completion of the project definition phase and the conceptual design as part of DOE’s Order 413.3B process for the acquisition of capital assets.  NNSA identified its recommended approach to produce at least 30 plutonium pits per year to meet national security needs.
