Sustaining the Z Facility (FY24 Progress Report)
Based on planning and reviews conducted in 2020, it is clear today that the Z Facility must be sustained through 2040 or longer. This requires a well-developed and executed maintenance and sustainment effort. Z’s Sustainment Plan outlines the approach that Sandia’s Pulsed Power Sciences Center will pursue to assure that the Z Facility maintains its world class research and development program supporting the NNSA’s Science Based Stockpile Stewardship efforts. In FY24, the Pulsed Power Center at SNL planned and executed many substantial sustainment projects as well as maintenance-driven-sustainment aligned to the Sustainment Plan. These projects are listed in this section with brief descriptions of the work executed.
