The TA-55 Reinvestment Project Phase II (TRP II) at LANL is a follow-on project to Phase I. The
project consists of refurbishment/replacement of major facility and infrastructure systems at the
LANL Plutonium Facility which are nearing the end of their service life and require increased
maintenance, are out of compliance with current regulations, and/or are at increased risk of causing
facility shutdown. This project includes the final design scope for TRP II.
The Nuclear Facility Risk Reduction (NFRR) Project at Y-12 will reduce risk of failure of systems,
structures, and components in buildings 9212 and 9204-2E by upgrading specific infrastructure
systems to ensure continuity of capability and continued safe operations until transition to the UPF.
The Test Capabilities Revitalization–Phase II Project at SNL will refurbish non-nuclear capabilities
necessary to test weapons components in support of the current stockpile. This facility is needed to
support timely certification components for the B61 and future LEPs.
The High Explosive Pressing Facility (HEPF) at Pantex will replace the current facility which is
nearing the end of service life. The new facility will improve safety, quality, and efficiency of
material movement. The existing aged facilities, infrastructure, and equipment are in poor
condition, and continue to fail, creating significant risk in the current and future capability to
produce high explosive hemispheres in sufficient quantities to support planned mission workload.
