SRS Testing, Training and Exercise Capabilities

摘要

As DOE continues to reduce the footprint of the cold war era weapons materialproduction sites, an unrecognized, yet valuable, resource is becoming extinct in theprocess. The ability to perform sensitive, secure, in-field testing/demonstrations whichrequire a “nuclear related environment” is a sought after attribute for governmentorganizations, national security labs, defense threat reduction agency, DHS, DOD as wellas local, state and national security organizations. A great deal of research anddevelopment has been, and is currently, being funded in the area of nuclear safeguardtechnology and nuclear deterrence. Additionally, in-field demonstrations definingcapability and technique are needed by various government organizations to “plan for andbecome effective in” deterrence for the evolving dynamic security threat in today’sworld’s structure.Savannah River Site’s facilities provide realistic environment and surroundings tosupport nuclear related activities requiring a safe, secure, remote location which possess avariety of radiological backgrounds, from the smallest project requiring a small scalebench test of the newest security technology, to a large scale performance of a force-onforcein foreign surroundings.
