1 Slide 1 Leveraging Hybrid Solutions to Support Manufacturing & Surveillance Processes at the Los Alamos National Laboratory Plutonium Facility Jenelle Montoya Los Alamos National Laboratory May 4, 2015

2 The Cornerstone: Slide 2 The Plutonium Facility (Mission Operations and Support)

3 The National Impact: Slide 3 The TA-55 complex is the nation s most modern plutonium science and manufacturing facility The nation s only fully operational plutonium facility.

4 Missions Overview: Slide 4 Plutonium Manufacturing Nuclear Energy New Capability Pit Certification Plutonium Storage Materials Disposition

5 TA-55 supports a wide range of national security, defense, and civilian programs Slide 5 Stockpile stewardship Nuclear materials stabilization Materials disposition Nuclear forensics Nuclear counter-terrorism Nuclear energy

6 The Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator Assembly and Test Facility The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has directed Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) to establish the capability and capacity to manufacture and assemble Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs). Slide 6

7 Slide 7 IT Support Goals: Meets the end users needs without compromising security or compliances Technical solutions should focus on security/reliability Users must be able to access reliable logon performance

8 Slide 8 Preferred State Unless specifically required for machine control or data logging, computers within the Plutonium Facility are to be thin-client technology with small-scale, fanless, solid-state, network-boot devices: - Significantly reduce footprint - Reduced fire load - External systems management - Reduced waste generation - Reduced power consumption - Increased data integrity - Increase security in a mixed-mode environment

9 Slide 9 The Computing Technologies To provide a secure and robust environment we utilize a hybrid technological approach leveraging: - VMware VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) - PCoIP (Proprietary remote display protocol developed by Teradici) - Unrivaled Data Acquisition Systems

10 Architecting and delivering a robust heterogeneous environment Slide 10

16 Data Acquisition Systems Slide 16

17 Data Acquisition Systems Slide 17 Maintain expert computing knowledge of systems to ensure end user and project timelines are met Security Risk Programmatic deliverables tied to process Knowledge about computing processes and requirements Systems designed for Legacy Operating Systems

18 Data Acquisition Systems Slide Data Acquisition Systems - Unlike any system in the world - No two systems are alike Quality Control Data Output Each process and every system are different and specific to the user s needs

19 Data Acquisition Systems Continued Slide 19 Machine controllers that connect to: - Calibration Systems - Lathes - Multi-Channel Analyzers - Voltage Meters - Oscilloscopes

20 Data Acquisition Systems Continued Slide 20 Connection interfaces include: - Ethernet -GPIB - USB / Firewire - RS232

21 Virtualized Data Acquisition Systems Windows 7 Host running legacy operating system virtualized - Fully patched and hardened - Reduced Risk - Process Secured Slide 21

22 Slide 22 Conclusion Leveraging a Hybrid technical deployment we are able to deliver an optimized end user experience without compromising security or compliance
