Macroencapsulation Equivalency Guidance for Classified Weapon Components and NNSSWAC Compliance

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1055225· OSTI ID:1055225
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) complex has a surplus of classified legacy weapon components generated over the years with no direct path for disposal. The majority of the components have been held for uncertainty of future use or no identified method of sanitization or disposal. As more weapons are retired, there is an increasing need to reduce the amount of components currently in storage or on hold. A process is currently underway to disposition and dispose of the legacy/retired weapons components across the DOE complex.
