An important and valuable framework helping to link those components is the quantification of margins and uncertainties (QMU) methodology. In this book, the National Research Council evaluates: how the national security labs were using QMU, including any significant differences among the three labs its use in the annual assessment whether the applications of QMU to assess the proposed reliable replacement warhead (RRW) could reduce the likelihood of resuming underground nuclear testing This book presents an assessment of each of these issues and includes findings and recommendations to help guide laboratory and NNSA implementation and development of the QMU framework. It also serves as a guide for congressional oversight of those activities. 606 $aNuclear weapons$zUnited States$xTesting 606 $aUncertainty (Information theory) 615 0$aNuclear weapons$xTesting. 615 0$aUncertainty (Information theory) 676 $a355.8251190973 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bDivision on Engineering and Physical Sciences. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953466703321 996 $aEvaluation of quantification of margins and uncertainties methodology for assessing and certifying the reliability of the nuclear stockpile$94360231 997 $aUNINA
