195782359Battle Creek MI: Federal Civil Defense Administration National Headquarters 1957. Copy one of unknown number of multiple contemporary copies of Memorandum with draft attached. Two-hole punched disbound held together with a clip. Good. Cover memorandum with number stamps ink notations and the name Donald J. Kimeldorf on front. transmitting a draft copy of a proposed FCDA Technical Bulletin on the Radiobiologic Effects of Radiation. Memorandum was signed out by Jack C. Greene Director of the Radiological Defense Division. RARE SURVIVING COPY OF NEAR FINAL DRAFT. Draft dated 2-25-57 and with a number stamped on first page has 21 pages Appendix A 6 figures and Five additional figures. This bulletin is divided into five major sections: The first section concerns basic radiobiologic information that is required for the basis of answers given in sections II IIIm and IV. Sections II III and IV deal with topics concerning injury to human beings; environmental modifications and population group injury. They are presented in question and answer form. Section V gives a general discussion of civil defense applications of this information. The reason for preparing this bulletin in advance of publication of the NCRP Sub-Committee Handbook on "Irradiation Injury" was to provide guidance that was deemed urgently needed by civil defense planners. Survival studies in which plans for defense against nuclear attack needed guidance of this type to formulate realistic scenarios. This bulletin was intended to serve as an interim measure until the Committee's more complete treatment became available. Kimeldorf was a major scientific leader. His book with Ed Hunt entitled "Ionizing radiation: Neural function and behavior" is a thorough description of the physiological and behavioral effects of exposure to ionizing radiation. The Federal Civil Defense Administration FCDA was organized by President Harry S. Truman on December 1 1950 through Executive Order 10186 and became an official government agency via the Federal Civil Defense Act of 1950 on 12 January 1951. In 1958 the FCDA was superseded by the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization when President Dwight D. Eisenhower merged the FCDA with the Office of Defense Mobilization. In its early years the agency focused on evacuation as a strategy. The FCDA was first headed by Millard Caldwell under Truman then Val Peterson under Eisenhower. Jack C. Greene received his B.S. in electrical engineering from MIT in 1947 and his Masters in engineering administration from the George Washington University in 1970. He served with the Manhattan District at Oak Ridge during WWII after which he was a member of the AEC'S Radiation Instrument Branch until joining the then newly created civil defense agency in 1951. Since that time Mr. Greene had been associated with civil defense related technical and scientific activities including radiological instrument development nuclear weapons test programs and other research. From 1962 through 1973 he headed the Postattack Research Division which included responsibility for civil defense fallout studies. Mr. Greene then became DCPA'S Deputy Assistant Director for Research. Federal Civil Defense Administration, National Headquarters unknown
201186133Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2011. Xerox-style reproduction presumably one of only a few press kits produced. Stapled at upper left corner. Very good. ii 164 pages plus covers. This also has the logo of the United Space Alliance on the front cover. STS-135 ISS assembly flight ULF7 was the 135th and final mission of the American Space Shuttle program. It used the orbiter Atlantis and hardware originally processed for the STS-335 contingency mission which was not flown. STS-135 launched on July 8 2011 and landed on July 21 2011 following a one-day mission extension. The four-person crew was the smallest of any shuttle mission since STS-6 in April 1983. The mission's primary cargo was the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module MPLM Raffaello and a Lightweight Multi-Purpose Carrier LMC which were delivered to the International Space Station ISS. The flight of Raffaello marked the only time that Atlantis carried an MPLM. This press kit covers the Space Shuttle History; STS-135 Mission Timeline Profile and Objectives; Mission Personnel; STS-135 Atlantis Crew; Payload Overview; Rendezvous and Docking; Spacewalks; STS-135 Experiments; Shuttle Reference Data; Launch & Landing; Acronyms & Abbreviations; Media Assistance; Public Affairs Contacts; and The Future. Although the mission was authorized it initially had no appropriation in the NASA budget raising questions about whether the mission would fly. On January 20 2011 program managers changed STS-335 to STS-135 on the flight manifest. This allowed for training and other mission specific preparations. On February 13 2011 program managers told their workforce that STS-135 would fly regardless of the funding situation via a continuing resolution. Until this point there had been no official references to the STS-135 mission in NASA documentation for the general public. During an address at the Marshall Space Flight Center on November 16 2010 NASA administrator Charles Bolden said that the agency needed to fly STS-135 to the station in 2011 due to possible delays in the development of commercial rockets and spacecraft designed to transport cargo to the ISS. "We are hoping to fly a third shuttle mission in addition to STS-133 and STS-134 in June 2011 what everybody calls the launch-on-need mission. and that's really needed to buy down the risk for the development time for commercial cargo" Bolden said. The mission was included in NASA's 2011 authorization which was signed into law on October 11 2010 but funding remained dependent on a subsequent appropriations bill. United Space Alliance signed a contract extension for the mission along with STS-134; the contract contained six one-month options with NASA in order to support continuing operations. The federal budget approved in April 2011 called for US$5.5 billion for NASA's space operations division including the shuttle and space station programs. According to NASA the budget running through September 30 2011 ended all concerns about funding the STS-135 mission. On July 21 2011 NASA hosted an employee appreciation event outside OPF-2 with Atlantis parked. Cheryl Hurst the director of education and external relations at KSC spoke first and invited Susan Lambert to lead the crowd with the American national anthem. A pledge of allegiance followed from KSC children and NASA Administrator Charles Bolden and KSC Director Robert Cabana spoke to the shuttle program employees. During the event Rita Wilcoxson and Patricia Stratton were presented with highest NASA honors: the Distinguished Service Medal and the Distinguished Public Service Medal respectively. The citations on both were identical stating "for continuous outstanding leadership contributions provided to the nation's space shuttle program". A public "welcome home" ceremony was held for the crew at Houston's Ellington Field Hangar 990 on July 22. National Aeronautics and Space Administration unknown

DVD has 40 files and many of them are folders. On July 13-14 2004 the Caltech ASC Level 1 Center hosted an ASC TriLab V&V Workshop in La Jolla CA to discuss and compare what the NNSA laboratories and the ASC Level 1 University Centers are learning with respect to code verification and validation. About 50 people participated in the workshop. Presentations were organized into four sessions and moderated by key V&V personnel from the NNSA labs and ASC Centers: 1 V&V Program Overviews Jamileh Soudah ASC HQ - Chair 2 Code and Solution Verification Tomek Plewa University of Chicago Flash Center - Chair 3 Validation Experiments Dan Meiron Caltech ASC Center - Chair 4 Validation and Uncertainty Quantification Tony Giunta Sandia - Chair The workshop began with V&V overviews presented by speakers from Los Alamos Lawrence Livermore and Sandia National Laboratories and the ASC Level 1 Alliance Centers at Caltech the University of Chicago the University of Illinois Stanford University and the University of Utah. These baseline presentations were followed by talks addressing approaches and lessons learned in code and solution verification designing and implementing validation experiments and what has been accomplished and remains to be done in uncertainty qualification. At the end of the workshop Dan Meiron Caltech hosted a discussion to summarize commonalities across the lab and university programs and identify collaborative efforts that might follow this workshop.

At the end of the workshop Dan Meiron Caltech hosted a discussion to summarize commonalities across the lab and university programs and identify collaborative efforts that might follow this workshop. The purpose of this document is to provide a synopsis of the key issues discussed during the workshop. The intent is not to review the substance of the technical presentations which are available from the Caltech V&V Workshop web site and CD but to provide a record of the important issues raised during the workshop discussion and interaction. Input for this synopsis comes primarily from the summary session moderated by Dan Meiron and notes taken during the course of the workshop sessions.

This volume was later reprinted by Greenwood Press. This was Historical Reports of War Administration War Production Board General Study No. 1. The War Production Board WPB was an agency of the United States government that supervised war production during World War II. President Franklin D. Roosevelt established it in January 1942 with Executive Order 9024. The WPB replaced the Supply Priorities and Allocations Board and the Office of Production Management. The WPB directed conversion of companies engaged in activities relevant to war from peacetime work to war needs allocated scarce materials established priorities in the distribution of materials and services and prohibited nonessential production. It rationed such commodities as gasoline heating oil metals rubber paper and plastics. It was dissolved shortly after the defeat of Japan in 1945 and was replaced by the Civilian Production Administration in late 1945. In 1942-1945 WPB supervised the production of $183 billion equivalent to $2.12 trillion in 2020 worth of weapons and supplies about 40 percent of the world output of munitions. The UK the USSR and other allies produced an additional 30 percent while the Axis produced only 30 percent. One fourth of the US output was warplanes; one fourth was warships. Meanwhile the civilian standard of living was about level. The WPB and the nation's factories effected a great turnaround. Military aircraft production which totaled 6000 in 1940 jumped to 85000 in 1943. Factories that made silk ribbons now produced parachutes automobile factories built tanks typewriter companies converted to rifles undergarment manufacturers sewed mosquito netting and a rollercoaster manufacturer converted to the production of bomber repair platforms. The WPB ensured that each factory received the materials it needed to produce the most war goods in the shortest time. Executive Order 9638 created the Civilian Production Administration and terminated the War Production Board on October 4 1945. The Civilian Production Board was consolidated with other agencies to form the Office of Temporary Controls—an agency in the Office for Emergency Management of the executive office of the president. The latter had previously been established pursuant to the Reorganization Act of 1939. The executive order provided a Temporary Controls Administrator appointed by the president to head the Office of Temporary Controls and vested in him among other things the functions of the Price Administrator.
