The supercomputing issue—what it takes to simulate a nuclear weapon
Our nuclear weapons are aging. Supercomputers can provide high-resolution, 3D simulations to help assess the reliability, safety, and security of the U.S. nuclear deterrent. Read more...
NOW AND THEN
The Laboratory’s first administration building, now demolished, as it looked 50 years ago, is shown in this black and white photograph.
The new administration building, the National Security Sciences Building, is pictured to the upper right.
