This document provides requirements for all CDU designs to be used at the Q-6 firing sites [i.e., Technical Area 22, Building 34 (TA-22-00340; TA-40-0005; and TA-40-0015], including LANL-designed CDUs, firesets from other Department of Energy (DOE) sites, and commercial firesets. CDUs for other, non-Q-6 sites [e.g., Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT) Facility, Proton Radiography (pRad) Facility, Nevada National Security Site (NNSS), etc.] may have additional requirements that are not reflected here. While this document provides recommendations and examples for some aspects of fireset design, it is not intended to be a design guide. This document is intended for use by subject matter experts (SMEs) in fireset design. Those new to fireset design should consult SMEs before submitting a fireset for Q-6 approval.
