> After the closure of the country’s prime plutonium manufacturing plant at Rocky Flats in 1992, where 1,000 to 2,000 pits were produced every year, a highly reinforced 236,000 sq-ft facility built at <LANL> earlier in 1978 became the first Department of Energy (DoE) facility capable of producing plutonium cores.

  Although initially established for plutonium research and development, in 2003 the <LANL PF-4>[Plutonium Facility Building 4 (PF-4)] within Tech Area 55 at Los Alamos produced the nation’s stockpile quality (first war reserve) plutonium. In 2006, Congress instructed the DoE to focus on producing pits at this facility.
