A FAAT may be required on subsequent production runs when a break in production of six (6) months or longer occurs or upon any material or manufacturing process change, per the TDP, at the Government’s discretion. In the event of an additional FAAT, the contractor shall ship the two (2) empty and unpainted warhead assemblies to the program office’s selected Government agency for testing. (CDRL A008, A009)
4.8. Test Rings: The contractor shall test all of the first ten (10) heat qualification test rings. If the heat qualification test results meet TDP specifications (XSP20168701, Table 1), inspection requirements shall be reduced to zero. If the heat qualification test results do not meet TDP specifications, the inspection process shall be repeated for another ten (10) heat qualification test rings. The process shall be repeated until all ten (10) test rings meet the TDP specifications. The contractor shall also test all of the first fifteen (15) warhead production test rings. If the production test ring results meet TDP specifications (XSP20168702, Table 1), inspection requirements shall be reduced. Reduced inspection consists of testing one (1) production test ring from each heat treat lot which has been formed from the same melting batch. If the production test ring results do not meet TDP specifications, the inspection process shall be repeated for another fifteen (15) warhead production test rings. The process shall be repeated until all fifteen (15) test rings meet the TDP specifications. Both heat qualification and production test ring testing requirements may revert back to initial, full requirements on subsequent production runs when a break in production of six (6) months or longer occurs.
4.9. Hazardous Material Management: The contractor shall request Government approval to use any of the substances identified in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 17 List (http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/3350/33finb1.htm).
