MIL-STD-1822 Nuclear Compatibility Certification Of Nuclear Weapon Systems, Subsystems And Support EquipmentThis document describes standard practices for nuclear compatibility certification of nuclear weapon systems excluding nuclear facilities. Nuclear weapon system compatibility certification authority is derived from the 1953 Atomic Energy Commission AEC/Department of Defense DoD Memorandum of Agreement MOA and restated within numerous DoD and Air Force AF directives.
