Dignitaries witness second W88 “diamond stamp”
As part of a day-long W88 pit delivery celebration on Monday, Senator Pete Domenici and Congresswoman Heather Wilson looked on while Quality Assurance officials from the National Nuclear Security Administration "diamond stamped" a second W-88 pit at Technical Area 55, accepting it for inclusion into the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile. The first "diamond stamp" came in early June. That first pit has already been delivered to the Pantex plant in Amarillo, Texas, for assembly into a W88 warhead. The Laboratory is on schedule to deliver 10 such pits this year.
