Sandia National Laboratories

Sandia National Laboratories

The NNSA lab that engineers the non-nuclear parts of every US nuclear weapon, run by Honeywell's NTESS since 2017. Igor's list names a 'Dr. Christopher Adams' of Sandia, but no record of him was found. Sandia's quieter role in this story is on paper: three Sandia research staff reviewed AAWSAP's first-year reports in 2009.

On the record

  • Operated by NTESS (Honeywell) since 1 May 2017; Lockheed Martin ran it 1993 to 2017. About 17,000 staff.
  • DIA info memo of 30 Oct 2009: the 26 first-year AAWSAP reports were reviewed by 'three research staff members at Sandia National Laboratories'.
  • Macheret's DIRD 33 cites Sandia's R.J. Lipinski, co-author of a Sandia e-beam hypersonic wind tunnel report.
  • Sandia quantum compass: atom interferometry on photonic chips for GPS-denied navigation.
  • No published missing-person list includes a Christopher Adams.
