The AC Project maintains a laboratory for the calibration of top-level reference standards for Sandia and for the Contractor Standards Laboratories throughout the DOE Nuclear Weapons Complex. The AC Project provides consultation for all its customers in the proper use of the calibrated standards, on the selection of appropriate new instruments and standards, on solving problems that arise in the use of this precision equipment, and on the application of these instruments to the measurements of weapons components, sub-assemblies, and systems. The project also helps select items used in periodic surveys and participates in the survey and evaluation of the performance of Contractor Standards Laboratories by checking measurement audit items selected by the Primary Standards Laboratory team during the survey.
