About this ebook
Built in the 1940s, the Y-12 Nat. Security Complex, located in Oak Ridge, TN, is the NNSA primary site for enriched uranium activities. Because Y-12 facilities are outdated and deteriorating, NNSA is building a more modern facility -- known as the Uranium Processing Facility (UPF). NNSA plans to include more advanced technologies in the UPF to make uranium processing and component production safer. This report: (1) assessed NNSA's estimated cost and schedule for constructing the UPF; (2) determined the extent to which UPF will use new, experimental technologies, and identify resultant risks; and (3) determined the extent to which emerging changes in the nuclear weapons stockpile could affect the UPF project. A print on demand report.
