Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) and Department of Energy national laboratory located in Livermore, California. Alongside Sandia National Laboratories, LLNL is alleged by Edgar Fouché to have co-developed the reverse-engineered Magnetic Field Disruptor (MFD) gravity disruption technology at the core of the TR-3B's propulsion system.

Both Sandia and Livermore possess existing expertise in plasma physics, nuclear weapons design, and advanced materials science — capabilities directly relevant to the MFD's described operating principles of pressurizing mercury-based plasma to 250,000 atmospheres. Their dual status as DOE FFRDCs places them outside traditional military classification channels, with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 potentially shielding MFD-related programs under transclassified foreign nuclear information frameworks.
