Stockpile Surveillance

SRTE exceeded the required Gas Transfer System Surveillance activities for the year by 30
percent. These activities, which include function testing and SRNL’s data analysis, verify that
gas transfer systems from the stockpile would function as expected.

For FY 2015, SRNS continued its long, proud tradition of support
for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and its
mission of enhancing the nation’s security through the application of
nuclear science. SRNS serves NNSA in two major areas. The first,
the Savannah River Tritium Enterprise (SRTE), provides the tritium
(the radioactive form of hydrogen necessary for our nation’s nuclear
defense) and related products and services. SRNS also serves NNSA’s
nuclear nonproliferation work, including support for NNSA’s plutonium
disposition initiatives. As has been the case throughout its history, SRTE
once again met all its deliverables in service to the nation’s defense,
with further improvements to the already-high level of quality, changes
that streamline processing, and progress on plans that will ensure
SRTE’s ability to continue effectively serving the nation for the future.
