~14decoupling shots) are noted. As for the Vela Uniform program, Livermore continues to be responsible for the Lollipop shot and certain measurements on other tests; and in the Vela Hotel program, the Livermore participation depends on ARPA support for background measurements in space, Discussion of the weaponization program indicates that there is some evidence of a decrease in the weaponization workload and that “If the moratorium on nuclear testing continues, most of the released effort must be devoted to the more intense and more precise theoretical and experimental work required before new designs can be certified for stockpile.” The headings under test planning and development are: readiness, seismic improvement program, instrument development, optical instrument development, technical drilling, and containment studies. As for readiness, "The field preparation for the laboratorgs readiness program (Succotash) has essentially disappeared with the reallocation of the U 12B and U12E tunnels to the seismic improvement program. There remains a 30 day capability for 1 safety shot in U12J. Also, the basic construction has been completed in U12 E07. No further action can be planned to increase field (construction) readiness until funds are made available. maintained, The readiness activities at the lab have continued and will be The system I diagnostic equipment which was developed in conjunction with EG&G is complete, Capability for specialized diagnostic measurements | will be maintained." Under the heading of seismic improvement program is the preparation of instrumentation for the polyethylene yield experiment for determining yield on certain appropriate events in the Shade and Dribble programs. is currently scheduled for the first of Aug. 61. A Lollipop event Programs addressing the development of diagnostic and in particular optical instrument techniques and methods are detailed and a fair amount of attention is being given to telemetering broad-band information. Further, the drilling techniques at the NTIS are being
