Abstract :
The Nuclear Weapons Complex (NWC) of the US Department of Energy (DOE) is a collection of 11 government-owned, contractor-operated facilities operated by nine different contractors and the US DOE Albuquerque Operations Office. An effort is under way to automate the exchange of product-definition data between members of the Nuclear Weapons Complex (NWC). A description is presented of network components, their interaction and some of the efforts to ensure security. The NWC network is a computer network that will allow the facilities to exchange, store, and manage shared information. The networking and storage capabilities are enhancements of systems available from commercial sources and from specific systems in use at Los Alamos National Laboratory.<>
