Activities at TA-15 [Table 4-8 and Figure 4-10 (index map of TA-15)] consist of HE research, development,
and testing, mainly through hydrodynamic testing and dynamic experimentation. TA-
15 is the location of three firing sites, the Pulsed High-Energy Radiographic Machine Emitting XRays
(PHERMEX), and the Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrotest Facility (DARHT), all of which are
