Operations & Programs

Enter the network through what was actually done.

Facilities and materials acquire historical meaning through activity. Rosetta reconstructs production campaigns, experiments, weapons programs, nuclear tests, reactor operations, maintenance, decontamination, special projects, and other work by connecting each activity to its places, organizations, materials, people, and surviving records.

Research pathways

Follow the work across the complex.

A program name, codeword, or facility assignment is a starting point—not proof of a particular task, material, worker involvement, or exposure. Rosetta activates relationships only when the documentary record supports them.

Production

Weapons Production & Assembly

Trace manufacturing, fabrication, assembly, inspection, testing, rework, and production campaigns through facilities, contractors, components, and records.

Available Now · Continuously Developing

Research

Experiments & Development

Follow experimental programs, laboratory development, prototypes, engineering studies, and research campaigns from authorization through physical work.

Available Now · Continuously Developing

Testing

Nuclear Tests & Field Operations

Connect named test series and field operations to participating organizations, sites, instrumentation, materials, support personnel, and documentary collections.

Available Now · Continuously Developing

Reactors

Reactor & Isotope Programs

Trace reactor operations, isotope production and use, fuel and source handling, experimental systems, shutdown work, and related material pathways.

Available Now · Continuously Developing

Power

Isotopic Power & RTG Programs

Connect heat-source materials, thermoelectric systems, components, assembly work, transfers, maintenance, and disposition across participating facilities.

Work

Maintenance, Decontamination & Recovery

Recover non-routine work that may disappear from production histories: maintenance, repair, cleanup, decontamination, recovery, modification, and disposition.

Available Now · Continuously Developing

Programs

Named Programs & Operations

Use official program names and operation titles as documentary anchors while distinguishing established participation from references, aliases, and research leads.

Restricted record

Classified, Codeword & Unresolved Projects

Preserve codewords, aliases, compartmented references, incomplete project names, and missing-record targets without converting secrecy or ambiguity into unsupported conclusions.

Non-routine events

Occurrences, Incidents & Accidents

Follow documented abnormal events, emergency responses, releases, equipment failures, and corrective actions across operations and facilities.

Relationship standard

Participation is not task evidence.

A facility, contractor, or person associated with a larger program cannot automatically be assigned every activity, material, or exposure associated with that program. Rosetta reconstructs work at the most specific level the evidence permits and leaves unresolved links unresolved.

Connect the network

Operations sit between place and evidence.

As collections mature, an operation can connect outward to the Facility Atlas, People & Organizations, Nuclear Materials Genealogy, shipments, occupational history, and the archival record.

The private THE ROSETTA WEB™ Master Evidence system remains separate from this website.
