Plutonium Infrastructure (ALDPI)

Associate Laboratory Directorate for Plutonium Infrastructure (ALDPI)

Over the next decade, the National Nuclear Security Administration will invest nearly $8 billion to support, refurbish, and upgrade infrastructure at Los Alamos National Laboratory to manufacture at least 30 plutonium pits per year by 2030.

ALDPI rigorously executes the capital projects required to meet the nation’s plutonium pit production goals. We accomplish this by modernizing the Laboratory’s capabilities and supporting infrastructure.

  • Modernization Projects

    Manages a large-project portfolio that directly supports the weapons, non-proliferation, and recovery missions at Los Alamos. Projects include facility, utility, equipment, and glovebox demolitions and installations.

  • Line-Item Projects

    Enables the Laboratory’s mission to manufacture at least 30 pits per year through design, construction, readiness, start-up, and other processes that require a modernized plutonium pit manufacturing infrastructure.

  • Plutonium Facility (PF-4) Project Execution

    Executes the capital projects required to meet plutonium pit production mission through modernizing PF-4 and its supporting infrastructure.
