Book excerpt: After a series of safety accidents in the mid-1990s, the Department of Energy via Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) claimed publicly that it could be the nation's "nuclear stockpile steward" ("the Stewardship Claim"). The Laboratory did not define "stewardship" or what being a steward would require. This project begins by using knowledge from political and organization theory to help define what "stewardship" in the context of managing long-lived and highly hazardous materials would mean to a well-informed public, if it knew what to ask. Institutional Stewardship requires that such an organization be highly reliable (High Reliability), now and for the foreseeable future (Constancy), and inspire public trust and confidence. Institutional stewardship, by this definition, requires tremendous resources and an equivalent devotion to safety and security as to productivity. This study shows that legal and organizational structural problems at the higher levels of the DOE and LANL hierarchies produced the root causes of many safety and security accidents at LANL during the 1990s. These accidents produced tremendous unwanted public attention. The organization responded with the Stewardship Claim, which included massive changes to its legal and organizational structures designed to prevent accidents. However, though the research in this study showed that the top of the hierarchy was the largest single location of accident root causes, most of the changes to the legal and organizational structures focused on the lowest "human operator" level of the hierarchy. Thus, safety and security accidents persisted even after LANL attempted to become the nation's nuclear stockpile steward. Systemic causes of accidents can be understood by examining patterns shared between failures, something LANL did not do until it had been blaming nearly a decade of systems accidents on human operators. While, accidents of some sort are often "normal" in complex sociotechnical systems, properly designed legal regimes and organizational structures, can make it more likely that an organization will meet the demands required by institutional stewardship.

Book excerpt: "Heritage of Science" is a short video that highlights the Stockpile Stewardship program at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Stockpile Stewardship was conceived in the early 1990s as a national science-based program that could assure the safety, security, and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear deterrent without the need for full-scale underground nuclear testing. This video was produced by Los Alamos National Laboratory for screening at the Lab's Bradbury Science Museum in Los Alamos, NM and is narrated by science correspondent Miles O'Brien.

Book excerpt: Stockpile stewardship is the retention of nuclear weapons in the stockpile beyond their original design life. These older weapons have potential changes inconsistent with the original design intent and military specifications. The Stockpile Stewardship Program requires us to develop high-fidelity, physics-based capabilities to predict, assess, certify and design nuclear weapons without conducting a nuclear test. Each year, the Lab Directors are required to provide an assessment of the safety, security, and reliability our stockpile to the President of the United States. This includes assessing whether a need to return to testing exists. This is a talk to provide an overview of Stockpile Stewardship's scientific requirements and how stewardship has changed in the absence of nuclear testing. The talk is adapted from an HQ talk to the War college, and historical unclassified talks on weapon's physics.

Book excerpt: Growing up in the shadow of the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) the author, Chuck Montano, was thrilled to land a job there. But he never imagined the dangerous world he was about to enter. Los Alamos: A Whistleblower's Diary is a shocking account of foul play, theft and abuse at our nation's premier nuclear R&D installation, where those who dare to question pay with their careers and, potentially, their lives. This first-of-its-kind exposae ventures past LANL's armed guards and security fences to chronicle persistent efforts to prevent hidden truths from surfacing in the wake of headline.

This book was released on 2006-11-21 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discharges of wastes from activities associated with the federal government's Los Alamos site in northern New Mexico began during the Manhattan Project in 1943. Now designated the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), the site is operated under contract by the Department of Energy (DOE). Through past and ongoing investigations, radioactive and chemical contaminants have been detected in parts of the complex system of groundwater beneath the site. Since effective protection of groundwater is important for LANL's continuing operations, DOE's Office of Environmental Management requested technical advice and recommendations regarding several aspects of LANL's groundwater protection program. This interim report summarizes the committee's information-gathering activities and identifies issues within the scope of its task that have risen to the committee's attention without offering any findings or recommendations. The final report is expected to be released in May 2007 and it is the hope that results of the final study will provide guidance and impetus for dialogue and agreement among DOE, LANL, and other stakeholders on a focused, cost-effective program for protecting the groundwater in and around the site.
