The PEI-1 is Phase 1 of the CMRR PF-4 Equipment Installation subproject at Los Alamos National Laboratory. PEI-1 maximizes use of PF-4 by decommissioning and decontaminating old gloveboxes and equipment, reconfiguring and reusing existing gloveboxes, consolidating and relocating existing capabilities, installing new gloveboxes and equipment for analytical chemistry/material characterization (AC/MC) capabilities and developing select project-related warehouse and office infrastructure. PEI-1 establishes analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities that utilize larger amounts of nuclear materials and therefore are required to be in PF-4 operational space.

CMRR completed $110 million under budget and ahead of schedule.

ECCE provides cooling towers and associated structures for the expansion of cooling system for the Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Strategic Computing Complex (SCC), part of stockpile stewardship. The project nearly doubles the warm-water cooling capability in the SCC and enables operational support for multiple exascale-class supercomputers, particularly to the planned Crossroads machine. The completion of this project supports the Advanced Simulation and Computing program’s goal of providing high-performance computing services to the Nuclear Security Enterprise to assess and maintain the current U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile, and design and certify the future stockpile.

ECCCE completed $20 million under budget and ahead of schedule.

The expansion of the electrical distribution system at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) provides safe, reliable, and efficient electrical distribution systems with sufficient electrical capacity for continued and planned operations. The project began construction in December 2017 and has installed 11,000 feet of underground duct bank, 75,000 feet of conductors, and two load grid switchgear buildings. The project addresses the most urgent electrical infrastructure mission needs by providing redundant underground power between LLNL, Western Area Power Administration’s Livermore Substation, and Sandia National Laboratories’ California facility. The upgrade to this electrical distribution system has an expected service life of more than 40 years and provides the versatility to adapt to new technology and increasingly stringent safety, security, and environmental regulations.

The new facility provides a modern, safe, and reliable workspace for approximately 1,200 employees in Albuquerque, New Mexico, who support NNSA’s vital national security missions. The John A. Gordon Albuquerque Complex will house multiple organizations that fulfill unique and essential roles within the Nuclear Security Enterprise by providing programmatic, technical support, legal, security, procurement, human resources, business, and administrative functions for NNSA’s mission. It replaces a complex of 26 buildings (several of which were constructed in 1951 as enlisted barracks) with a single, state-of-the-art facility. The existing complex is beyond its designed life, does not meet current seismic codes, and no longer meets NNSA’s needs. Upon completion, the John A. Gordon Albuquerque Complex will meet LEED Gold sustainability requirements and will allow for disposition of the current Albuquerque Complex.

UPF supports the NNSA Uranium Mission Strategy which ensures the long-term viability, safety, and security of enriched uranium capabilities in the United States. It consists of processing capabilities for enriched uranium casting, oxide production, and salvage and accountability operations. Constructing multiple facilities allows each facility to be designed and constructed with a level of safety and security for the hazards of each operation.

The project is being built through a series of seven subprojects. Three subprojects—Site Readiness, Site Infrastructure and Services and Substation were completed on time and under budget. UPF has been on budget and on schedule for seven consecutive years. The remaining subprojects are underway and is estimated for completion by the end of 2025.

Cost: $7 billion

Project Start Date: June 2012

Estimated Project Completion: December 2025

The Main Process Building is a three-story, 240,000-square-foot reinforced concrete building that will house enriched uranium casting and special oxide production. It also contains nondestructive analysis and waste preparations, furnaces and repacking, and spaces needed for process support such as the shift manager’s office, restrooms, and other personnel-related rooms. The MPB will be constructed to nuclear standards commensurate with high-hazard materials and security for the processes to be carried out within. It will connect to the Y-12 Highly Enriched Uranium Materials Facility. This is one of seven subprojects that comprise the $6.5B UPF project which has an estimated completion date of December 2025.
