Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) pairs multidisciplinary science and engineering with world-class experimental and computing resources to develop solutions to the nation’s most pressing national security problems. Stockpile Stewardship Program researchers seek to understand the scientific details of nuclear weapon performance through nonnuclear tests and experimentally validated computer simulations. LLNL multidisciplinary science and engineering are being applied to achieve breakthroughs in counterterrorism and nonproliferation, defense and intelligence, domestic security and energy and environmental security.
Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) combines cutting-edge experimental and computational tools to meet the nation’s national security needs. LANL’s primary responsibility is to ensure the safety, security and reliability of the nation's nuclear deterrent. To meet this duty without nuclear testing, LANL scientists and engineers acquire data and develop models to understand the performance and behavior of nuclear weapons. Their research also contributes to broader national security needs in nuclear non-proliferation and counter-terrorism, energy and climate, and biodefense.
Located in southern Nevada just north of Las Vegas, the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) is the nation’s premier facility for high-hazard experimentation in support of the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Stockpile Stewardship and Global Security missions and has a 65-year legacy of developing cutting edge, high-precision diagnostic technologies at extreme time, energy and spatial scales.
CALIFORNIA: Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) is a multiprogram science and engineering laboratory operated for the Department of Energy (DOE) with major facilities at Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Livermore, California, and a test range near Tonopah, Nevada. Since its formation more than 70 years ago, Sandia has established itself as a major research and development center with responsibilities for nuclear weapons, arms control, energy, the environment, economic competitiveness, pulsed power sciences, inertial confinement fusion, basic sciences and other areas of national importance.
