Description

A "pit" is the fissile core of a nuclear warhead. In modern warheads, it creates a nuclear explosion that triggers a substantially larger thermonuclear explosion. All pits in the U.S. nuclear stockpile in 2004 were made at the Rocky Flats Plant near Denver, CO, which opened in 1952. The Dept. of Energy (DOE) halted pit manufacturing operations there in 1989; the U.S. was unable to make stockpile-quality pits and therefore complete nuclear warheads after that. In 2004 the Nat. Nuclear Security Admin. (NNSA), which manages the U.S. nuclear weapons program, had a five-part plan to restore pit production capability. This report discusses: (1) the NNSA's Program for Pit Production; (2) Congressonal actions 2003-2005; and (3) Issues for Congress: Is NNSA's Plan for Certification Reasonable?; Does the U.S. Need New Pits (Beyond Limited Quantities for W88)?; If So, What Capacity Is Needed?; Can NNSA Expand PF-4 to Build Enough Pits Without MPF?; Could NNSA Accelerate MPF's Schedule?; Should Congress and the Admin. Delay MPF's Schedule? Tables. This is a print on demand report.
