Project-Program Director 5

What You Will Do

The Associate Laboratory Directorate, Plutonium Infrastructure (ALDPI), at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) executes the plutonium pit production mission through modernization of the TA-55 infrastructure and capabilities. The Plutonium Infrastructure Projects (PI-PROJ) organization enables the Laboratory's mission install equipment and make the necessary infrastructure improvements to manufacture pits through design, D&D, construction, readiness, start-up, and other processes that require a modernized plutonium pit manufacturing.

Late Installs Division (LIP-LI) portfolio, under PI-PROJ, includes the Los Alamos Plutonium Pit Production Project (LAP4) 30 Reliable subproject along with other scope elements of Chemistry and the Metallurgy Research Replacement (CMRR) PF-4 Equipment Installation-Phase 2 (PEI2) subproject, Technical Reinvestment Project III (TRPIII) and Major Item of Equipment (MIE) non-diamond scope with a combined total project cost greater than $3 Billion and CD-4 date well into the 2030 decade.
