New material sampling rationale

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7169772

This paper explains the newly implemented new material (NM) sampling rationale for weapon production developed by Frank W. Mueller, SNL/7266, and approved by DOE. Our experience with weapon production programs has been primarily limited to production lengths of five years or less. As more recent programs, such as the W80, are moving toward increasingly longer production phases, it has become apparent that our previous sampling rationale may have required excessive new material samples. 3 refs.
