The Need for Nuclear Deterrent Fundamentals Training
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
NNSA policy requires that personnel working in the Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE) receive comprehensive training to be fully capable before they begin their work and that personnel receive ongoing training to maintain their capability and competence. However, the loss of experienced NSE staff through retirements and the influx of personnel who are inexperienced and untrained in nuclear weapons technology make these training requirements difficult to achieve. This paper presents an approach for developing and delivering a nuclear deterrent (ND) fundamentals curriculum to respond to these challenges. The training approach leverages existing material already used by Sandia National Laboratories in the ND training arena and proposes to deliver the material in an e-learning format as much as possible. The approach also seeks to maximize the amount of material to be delivered in an unclassified setting.
