Criticality Experiments Facility (CEF)
The Criticality Experiments Facility is the only site in the entire
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) complex where general research and
hands-on training can be conducted into nuclear safeguards, criticality
safety and emergency response using Category I level nuclear materials.
This research and training is conducted at the Device Assembly Facility,
located at the Nevada Test Site.
Three primary areas of research and training will take place at the
Criticality Experiments Facility:
- critical experiments supporting DOE and the National Nuclear
Security Administration’s (NNSA) missions of stockpile stewardship
and management;
- emergency response in support of counterterrorism activities;
- nonproliferation, safeguards, and arms control supporting
national and international programs.
