Description

Nuclear weapons, while simple in principle, are technically complex devices with a multitude of components. There may be concern that, over time, a weapon’s ability could decline unless mitigating precautions are taken. To coordinate our ability to maintain the nation’s existing nuclear weapons, the Nat. Nuclear Security Agency developed a Stockpile Stewardship Program (SSP). Three major components of SSP are seriously over budget & seriously behind schedule. Contents: A Brief Review of the Origins of Nuclear Testing; The CTBT & the Birth of the Science-Based Stockpile Stewardship Program; The Scientific Tools, or “Three Pillars,” of SSP; SSP’s Newer Tools: JASPER & the Z Machine; & Conclusions, SSP 15 Years On. Illustrations.
