Non-stockpile application: sore Transuranic element production; Orion.’ Agnew and the other authors then conclude "We believe that we should plan for a test series which tests at the rate of about 1 device per month. The following test sequence is submitted with the dates being dependent on starting planning in the immediate future. The proposed tests are grouped in blocks with the idea that any 1 device in a block could be available during that time period." The list then following contains 3 different suggestions for a test for each month beginning in(co of 1960 and yoWwe monthly thru Ja CoP) aan of 61. LST bo 4 Te (reapewclaLaCols.) Following along these lines of setting out the LASL specific devices and experiment dated ich might be done, here are some most interesting draft documents Mar. 1960. he numbers are DIR-1554 and 1555 and I have made extracted copies of them for our classified files and nested 54 within 55. They seem to have been originally written by the director and are in response to a 2 Mar. message from Starbird to the labs which indicates that the chairman of the AEC intends to visit each lab to carry on discussions with the senior staff on certain specific problems, particularly the labs‘ needs and proposals for underground testing as well as weapons programs if no testing is permitted. It is not clear that these pages, here in draft form, ever got anything but internal lab distribution, and the extracts are filed under “Moratorium Readiness" and are extremely useful in understanding the director's feelings about testing and weapons developments and the effect of the moratorium on the laboratory and certain moratorium activities as well as the future of LASL. It is imperative that this document be read in writingabout the AEC activities and LASL philosophy and activitics in particular in this period of time. Of particular interest is Bradbury's view that the test division is virtually completely tied up in Rover testing at this time and to support weapons testing would be extremely difficult with the present lab
