LLNL is also one of three laboratories in the United States where classified work on the science and engineering design of nuclear weapons is undertaken.

A great deal of software also has been written by LLNL personnel to optimize the operation and management of the computer systems, including operating system extensions such as CHAOS ( Linux Clustering ) and resource management packages such as SLURM.

Mercury is also the main management area for the site which includes a bar and large cafeteria, printing plant, medical center, warehousing, fleet management, liquidation and recycling center, engineering offices, dormitories and other administrative areas for both the O & M contractors, LLNL, LANL and SNL personnel.

An attempt to succeed CTSS was started by LLNL named NLTSS ( New Livermore Time Sharing System ) to embody advanced concepts for operating systems to better integrate communication using a new network protocol named LINCS while also keeping the best features of CTSS.

Development also continued on ZFS-based back-end object storage at LLNL.

On October 1, 2007 LLNS assumed management of LLNL from the University of California, which had exclusively managed and operated the Laboratory since its inception 55 years before.

LLNL is home to many unique facilities and a number of the most powerful computer systems in the world, according to the TOP500 list, including Blue Gene / L, the world's fastest computer from 2004 until Los Alamos National Laboratory's IBM Roadrunner supercomputer surpassed it in 2008.

On September 30, 2009, the NNSA announced that about two thirds of the special nuclear material ( e. g., plutonium ) at LLNL requiring the highest level of security protection had been removed from LLNL.

The original date to remove all high-security nuclear material from LLNL, based on equipment capability and capacity, was 2014.

The LLNL Director reports to the Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC ( LLNS ) Board of Governors, a group of key scientific, academic, national security and business leaders from the LLNS partner companies that jointly own and control LLNS.

On January 1, 1957, the U. S. Air Force and the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission selected the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's ( LLNL ) predecessor, the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, to study the feasibility of applying heat from nuclear reactors to ramjet engines.

Classified weapon research would take place at Los Alamos National Laboratory ( LANL ) ( established during the war ) and the new Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ( LLNL ), established by Lawrence and Edward Teller from what was originally a splinter from the original Radiation Laboratory.

The JGI workforce draws most heavily from Berkeley Lab and LLNL.

** LLNL study compared projected costs of power from ICF and other fusion approaches to the projected future costs of existing energy sources.

In 2001, as part of the Generation IV roadmap, the DOE tasked a 242 person team of scientists from DOE, UC Berkeley, MIT, Stanford, ANL, LLNL, Toshiba, Westinghouse, Duke, EPRI, and other institutions to evaluate 19 of the best reactor designs on 27 different criteria.

The Department of Energy ( DOE ) decided that direct experimentation was the best way to settle the issue, and between 1978 and 1988 ran a series of underground experiments at the Nevada Test Site ( now known as Nevada National Security Site ), that used small nuclear bombs to directly illuminate ICF fuel components with high-energy X-rays ; LLNL ran its program under the name " Halite ", while LANL ran its as " Centurion ".

LLNL has a mission of strengthening the United States ’ security through development and application of world-class science and technology to:

On 6 / 18 / 2012, LLNL re-took the lead on the latest edition of the list of the world ’ s Top 500 supercomputers with Sequoia, a 16. 32 petaflops system packing more than 1. 5 million custom Power cores.

The unanimous vote by the Livermore City Council expanded Livermore ’ s southeastern boundaries to cover 15 land parcels covering that comprise the LLNL site.

The awards raises LLNL ’ s total to 129 since 1978.

* Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry: LLNL ’ s Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry ( CAMS ) develops and applies a wide range of isotopic and ion-beam analytical tools used in basic research and technology development, addressing a spectrum of scientific needs important to the Laboratory, the university community, and the nation.

* Terascale Simulation Facility: LLNL ’ s Terascale Simulation Facility houses one of the world ’ s most powerful computers, Blue Gene / L.

Their purchase of one of the first UNIVAC computers, set the precedent for LLNL ’ s history of acquiring and exploiting the fastest and most capable supercomputers in the world.

The November 2007 release of the 30th TOP500 list of the 500 most powerful computer systems in the world, has LLNL ’ s Blue Gene / L computer in first place for the seventh consecutive time.

The LLNL Director is supported by a senior executive team consisting of the Deputy Director, the Deputy Director for Science and Technology, Principal Associate Directors, and other senior executives who manage areas / functions directly reporting to the Laboratory Director.

Other partners are the Sandia National Laboratories, the University of California ( UC ) campuses of Berkeley and Davis, the Carnegie Institution for Science, and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ( LLNL ).

JGI was founded in 1997 to unite the expertise and resources in genome mapping, DNA sequencing, technology development, and information sciences pioneered at the three genome centers at University of California's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ( LBNL ), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ( LLNL ), and LANL.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ( LLNL ) is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center ( FFRDC ) founded by the University of California in 1952.

LLNL is self-described as " a premier research and development institution for science and technology applied to national security.

The Lab is a leader in technical innovation: since 1978, LLNL has received a total of 118 prestigious R & D 100 Awards, including five in 2007.

LLNL has an annual budget of about US $ 1. 5 billion and a staff of roughly 7, 000 employees.

LLNL was established in 1952 as the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at Livermore as an offshoot of the existing University of California Radiation Laboratory at Berkeley.

On March 14, 2011, the City of Livermore officially expanded the city's boundaries to annex LLNL and move it within the city limits.

The LLNL campus continues to be owned by the federal government.

Over the years, LLNL designed the following warheads: W27 ( Regulus cruise missile ; 1955 ; joint with Los Alamos ), W38 ( Atlas / Titan ICBM ; 1959 ), B41 ( B52 bomb ; 1957 ), W45 ( Little John / Terrier missiles ; 1956 ), W47 ( Polaris SLBM ; 1957 ), W48 ( 155-mm howitzer ; 1957 ), W55 ( submarine rocket ; 1959 ), W56 ( Minuteman ICBM ; 1960 ), W58 ( Polaris SLBM ; 1960 ), W62 ( Minuteman ICBM ; 1964 ), W68 ( Poseidon SLBM ; 1966 ), W70 ( Lance missile ; 1969 ), W71 ( Spartan missile ; 1968 ), W79 ( 8-in.

The W80, W87, and the B83 are the only LLNL designs still in the U. S. nuclear stockpile.

In March 2007, the LLNL design was chosen for the Reliable Replacement Warhead.

LLNL conducts research into the properties and behavior of plutonium to learn how plutonium performs as it ages and how it behaves under high pressure ( e. g., with the impact of high explosives ).
