Glossary. TA-18 supported important defense nuclear safety and other national security mission responsibilities. The operations at TA-18 enabled DOE personnel to gain knowledge and expertise in advanced nuclear technologies that supported: nuclear materials management criticality safety; emergency response in support of counterterrorism activities nuclear safeguards arms control; and criticality experiments. Technical Area 18 housed at the time the Western Hemisphere's largest collection of machines for conducting nuclear safety evaluations. Under the right conditions at Techncial Area 18 usingfissile material experiments capable of maintaining a self-sustaining nuclear fission chain reaction had been achieved. As part of the national response to the September 11 2001 terrorist attacks the Department of Energy proposed to relocate the Technical Area 18 operational capabilities and materals to a new location. This environmental impact statement was part of that process. United States Department of Energy paperback

Significant Finding Investigations were addressed in DOE/IG-0535 Audit Report Management of the Stockpile Surveillance Program's Significant Finding Investigations December 2001. The Directors of the three nuclear weapons laboratories annually assess and report the condition of the weapon systems for which their laboratories are responsible. A critical event in this process is the identification of a defect or malfunction during surveillance testing. This is especially important when dealing with an aging weapons stockpile. Departmental procedures require preliminary tests or evaluations to establish whether a Significant Finding Investigation SFI should be initiated. Such investigations are then conducted to determine the identified problem's cause and impact and to recommend corrective actions. Weapons surveillance began in the US in the mid-1960s when weapons testing was done through underground explosions of nuclear devices. Such testing continued until the early 1990s. If tests on a weapon system show an anomaly - a possible problem with a part that could jeopardize the system operation - with a system evaluation engineer SEE is notified. It is the SEE's job to determine if the anomaly could affect the surety safe use or reliability of the weapon. If the SEE makes that determination he/she opens a "significant finding investigation SFI. The responsibility of the investigation team is to determine the cause and impact of the defect and to make recommendations for corrective actions.

CD in a paper envelop with clear plastic face. Very good. On this disc entitled in sharpee 2/12/03 NNSA Test Readiness is a 26 vugraph briefing with graphics that was given to the Foster panel. There are no distribution limitations on the outside of the disc or on any vugraphs contained therein. John Stuart Foster Jr. born September 18 1922 is an American physicist best known as the fourth director of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and as Director Defense Research and Engineering under four Secretaries of Defense and two Presidents. In 1952 Foster was recruited to Lawrence Livermore Laboratory by founder Edward Teller and became a division leader in experimental physics. He was promoted to associate director in 1958 and director of the Livermore Laboratory and associate director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 1961 in which positions he served until 1965. Foster was appointed director of defense research and engineering a position then considered the number-three job in the Department of Defense by Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara in October 1965. He continued in this position until June 1973 serving under Presidents Johnson and Nixon and under Secretaries of Defense McNamara Clifford Laird and Richardson. From 1973 Foster was vice president science and technology of TRW retiring in 1988. From 1973 until 1990 he was a member of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. He was a long-serving member of the Defense Science Board of which he served as chairman from January 1990 to June 1993. Foster continues to advise and mentor scientists at Livermore into the 2020s. From an Arms Control Association article found online: The Department of Energy submitted a report to the Senate Armed Services Committee on May 20 2003 calling for the United States to shorten the time it would take to conduct a nuclear test to 18 months in order to provide a "reasonable level of flexibility" for the Bush administration. Congress requested the report in November 2002 instructing Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham to draw up plans that would enable the department to test within six 12 18 or 24 months. Currently the United States can conduct a nuclear test within 24-36 months of a presidential directive to do so. Congress also asked Abraham to determine in consultation with the secretary of defense which readiness period would be optimal. The 18-month recommendation "reflects what is achievable and cost effective" according to the report which was prepared by the National Nuclear Security Administration NNSA a semiautonomous agency within the Energy Department. The report indicated that 18 months is the minimum amount of time needed to evaluate a problem identified in the U.S. nuclear stockpile propose a solution and "execute a test that would provide the information needed to certify the ‘fix.'" The recommendation is "consistent with realistic testing schedules" established during previous U.S. nuclear testing which ceased in 1992. By contrast shortening test readiness to six or 12 months would require a "substantial diversion of personnel and facilities at the laboratories" according to the report. That would "represent a major redirection of the stockpile stewardship program" which is intended to maintain the nuclear arsenal in the absence of testing. Adopting a testing posture of a year or less would be "most relevant.if the President might direct that testing resume for political reasons." The report also noted that the shorter readiness period would be considerably more expensive. The transition to shorten the current 24-36 month readiness posture expected to take three years is already underway. NNSA conducted an Enhanced Test Readiness Cost Study in July 2002 to determine the steps and funding required to shorten the readiness posture and the Nuclear Weapons Council a consultative group of officials from the Energy Department and the Pentagon approved the plan to transition to an 18-month readiness window in September 2002 according to the report. The Bush administration asked for funds to begin moving to a shorter test readiness posture in its fiscal year 2004 budget request.

From the publisher: "Calls for deparochialization of educational research Lingard 2006 have directed educational ethnography from the conventional research designs and from the study of single sites and local situations to the study of the circulation of cultural meanings objects and identities in diffuse time-spaces Marcus 1995: 96. In response to this call and following the already established tradition of use of meta-ethnography in health studies this volume explores the potentials of this method Noblit & Hare 1988 to unpick the interconnectedness of different educational sites which have been and are being studied ethnographically. Besides metaethnographic analyses may also offer a credible response to the lessening of opportunities for original educational ethnographic research at times of limited resources. The volume examines the forms of translocal and transtemporal ethnographic synthesis currently in use by educational ethnographers as well as the challenges and the possibilities that the method offers. It also addresses and attempts to respond to the question if meta-ethnography might be a means to sharpen ethnographers sensitivity for each other s work and achievements in the past. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnography and Education.". First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Fine condition/No dust jacket as issued.
