Test Readiness
The President directed the U.S. Department of Energy to maintain an
underground test readiness program in the event that resumption of
nuclear weapons testing becomes necessary. Overall readiness is
supported by experimental programs conducted at the Nevada Test Site.
In particular, test readiness at the Nevada Test Site is critically
dependent on laboratory-based experiments that exercise high-bandwidth
recording and advanced diagnostic development that are not required for
non-nuclear experiments.
