2-120SWEIS Yearbook—2002Table 2.11.2-1. Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (TA-53)/Comparison of Operations (continued)CAPABILITY SWEIS ROD a 1998 YEARBOOK 1999 YEARBOOK 2000 YEARBOOK 2001 YEARBOOK 2002 YEARBOOKNeutron Research Conduct 1,000 to 2,000and Technology b experiments/yr using ManuelLujan Center, WNR facility,and LPSS. Establish LPSS inArea A (requiresmodification).Conduct acceleratorproduction of tritium targetneutronics experiment for sixmonths.Construct DynamicExperiment Laboratoryadjacent to WNR Facility.Support contained weaponsrelatedexperiments:With small quantities ofactinides, high explosives,and sources (up toapproximately 80/yr).With nonhazardous materialsand small quantities of highexplosives (up toapproximately 200/yr)With up to 4.5 kg highexplosives and/or depleteduranium (up toapproximately 60/yr)Shock wave experimentsinvolving small amounts, upto (nominally) 50 gramsplutonium.Provide support for staticstockpile surveillancetechnology research anddevelopment.Far fewer number ofexperiments since thelinac operated only1,135 hours. LPSSwas not constructed.Acceleratorproduction of tritiumtarget neutronicsexperiments werebegun inExperimental Area Cin 1997 and werecompleted in 1998.The DynamicExperimentLaboratory was notconstructed, butweapons-relatedexperiments wereconducted:None with actinidesSome withnonhazardousmaterials and highexplosivesSome with highexplosives, but nonewith depleted uraniumNo shock waveexperiments.Support was notprovided forsurveillance researchand development.Far fewer number ofexperiments, since theLujan Center was idlefrom February intoJuly. LPSS was notconstructed.The DynamicExperiment Laboratorywas not constructed,but weapons-relatedexperiments wereconducted:None with actinidesSome withnonhazardous materialsand high explosivesSome with highexplosives, but nonewith depleted uraniumNo shock waveexperiments.Support was notprovided forsurveillance researchand development.Fewer than 200experiments wereconducted at the LujanCenter.
