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.
