Scientific Grand Challenges for National Security: The Role of Computing at the Extreme Scale: Report from the Workshop Held October 6-8 2009

200967242Washington DC: United States Department of Energy 2009. Presumed first edition/first printing. Wraps. Very good. Cover has slight wear and soiling. xii 159 12 p. Includes illustrations. Some illustrations in color. References. This publication was prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract DE-AC05-76RL01830 by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory reprot number PNNL-19379. From Wikipedia: "Exascale computing refers to computing systems capable of at least one exaFLOPS. Such capacity represents a thousandfold increase over the first petascale computer that came into operation in 2008. One exaflop is a thousand petaflops or a quintillion 1018 floating point operations per second. At a supercomputing conference in 2009 Computerworld projected exascale implementation by 2018. In January 2012 Intel purchased the InfiniBand product line from QLogic for US $125 million in order to fulfill its promise of developing exascale technology by 2018. The initiative has been endorsed by two US agencies: the Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration. The technology would be useful in various computation-intensive research areas including basic research engineering earth science biology materials science energy issues and national security. The United States has put aside $126 million for exascale computing beginning in 2012. Three projects aiming at developing technologies and software for exascale computing have been started in 2011 within the European Union. The CRESTA project Collaborative Research into Exascale Systemware Tools and Applications the DEEP project Dynamical ExaScale Entry Platform and the project Mont-Blanc. The Indian Government has committed USD 2 Billion to ISRO and Indian Institute of Science IISc Bangalore to develop a supercomputer with a performance of 132.8 exaflops by 2017. ISRO has already booked key equipment to develop the first Indian exaflop supercomputer. Most of the sub-systems will be developed in India." United States, Department of Energy paperback

Surveillance Training - SFIs

200575219Washington DC: United States Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration 2005. Presumed First Edition First issuance thus. VHS Tape. Very good. This is a standard VHS tape approximately 4 inches by 7 inches with a hand written label stating Surveillance Training - SFIs 45 min. No classification or information use limitation on label or tape sleeve. The tape has been partially played but not rewound. 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.

The Science Vision for the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy

200967232Moffett FIeld CA: United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2009. Reprint. Second Printing. Wraps. Very good. Includes: illustrations diagrams. Various paginations approximately 125 pages. References. From Wikipedia: "The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy SOFIA is a joint project of NASA and the German Aerospace Center DLR to construct and maintain an airborne observatory. NASA awarded the contract for the development of the aircraft operation of the observatory and management of the American part of the project to the Universities Space Research Association USRA in 1996. The DSI Deutsches SOFIA Institut manages the German parts of the project which are primarily science and telescope related. SOFIA's telescope saw first light on May 26 2010. SOFIA is the successor to the Kuiper Airborne Observatory.SOFIA is based on a Boeing 747SP wide-body aircraft that has been modified to include a large door in the aft fuselage that can be opened in flight to allow a 2.5 meter diameter reflecting telescope access to the sky. This telescope is designed for infrared astronomy observations in the stratosphere at altitudes of about 41 000 feet about 12 km. SOFIA's flight capability allows it to rise above almost all of the water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere which blocks some infrared wavelengths from reaching the ground. At the aircraft's cruising altitude 85% of the full infrared range will be available. The aircraft can also travel to almost any point on the Earth's surface allowing observation from the northern and southern hemispheres. Once ready for use the expectation is for observing flights to be flown 3 or 4 nights a week for the next 20 years. SOFIA is now based at NASA's Dryden Aircraft Operations Facility at LA/Palmdale Regional Airport California while staff at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View California operate the SOFIA Science Center where astronomical observation missions are planned for the flying observatory. The NASA logo reflected in SOFIAs 2.5-meter primary mirror. SOFIA uses a 2.5-meter reflector telescope which has an oversized 2.7 meter diameter primary mirror as is common with most large infrared telescopes. The optical system uses a Cassegrain reflector design with a parabolic primary mirror and a remotely configurable hyperbolic secondary. In order to fit the telescope into the fuselage the primary is shaped to an f-number as low as 1.3 while the resulting optical layout has an f-number of 19.7. A flat tertiary dichroic mirror is used to deflect the infrared part of the beam to the Nasmyth focus where it can be analyzed. An optical mirror located behind the tertiary mirror is used for a camera guidance system. The telescope looks out of a large door in the side of the fuselage near the airplane's tail and will initially carry nine instruments for infrared astronomy at wavelengths from 1 655 micrometres and high-speed optical astronomy at wavelengths from 0.3 1.1 micrometres. The main instruments are the FLITECAM a near infrared camera covering 1 5 micrometres; FORCAST covering the mid-infrared range of 5 40 micrometres and HAWC which spans the far infrared in the range 42 210 micrometres. The other four instruments include an optical photometer and infrared spectrometers with various spectral ranges. SOFIA s telescope is by far the largest ever to be placed in an aircraft. For each mission one interchangeable science instrument will be attached to the telescope. Two groups of general purpose instruments are available. In addition an investigator can also design and build a special purpose instrument. On April 17 2012 two upgrades to HAWC were selected by NASA to increase the field of view with new detector arrays and to add the capability of measuring the polarization of dust emission from celestial sources. The open cavity housing the telescope will be exposed to high-speed turbulent winds. In addition the vibrations and motions of the aircraft introduce observing difficulties. The telescope was designed to be very lightweight with a honeycomb shape milled into the back of the mirror and polymer composite material used for the telescope.

Chemical & Biological National Security Program FY00 Annual Report; DOE/NN-0015

200173569Washington DC: U. S. Department of Energy 2001. Presumed First Edition First printing. Trade paperback. Very good. 217 3 pages. Illustrations. Cover has some wear and soiling. The mission of the Office of Nonproliferation and Arms Control NPAC is to prevent proliferation ensure peaceful nuclear uses and enable verifiable nuclear reductions. NPAC provides a comprehensive approach to strengthen nonproliferation and arms control regimes achieving its mission through four subprograms: International Nuclear Safeguards; Nuclear Controls; Nuclear Verification; Nonproliferation Policy. One of the gravest threats the United States and the international community face is the possibility that terrorists or rogue nations will acquire nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction WMD. NNSA through its Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation DNN works closely with a wide range of international partners key U.S. federal agencies the U.S. national laboratories and the private sector to secure safeguard and/or dispose of dangerous nuclear and radiological material and detect and control the proliferation of related WMD technology and expertise. The Office of Nonproliferation Research and Engineering part of the National Nuclear Security Administration within the Department of Energy conducts wide-ranging research for diverse end users at the federal and local level. As such the Office faces a number of unusual challenges in determining how to best serve its users' needs within its budget. The Chemical & Biological National Security Program was initiated in FY97 in response to the growing awareness of both the chemical and biological weapon capabilities available to potential attackers and the vulnerabilities of the U.S> population to these weapons. From the outset the program has drawn from the deep scientific and engineering talents in the national laboratories as well as from specialized expertise in academia and industry. A basic philosophy of the CBNP is that any near-term impact of research and development requires a mission focus. The program's goal was not just to develop technology but to apply it to solve real problems and to develop demonstrate and deliver technologies and systems to improved domestic defense capabilities and ultimately to save lives in the event of a chemical or biological attack.

Issue A was the original release. It is up to at least Change 15. While not complete the available portions reflect the processes and priorities at the time. This abbreviated set was used as part of the NA-12 New Employee Orientation. NNSA receives its authority for the responsibility for all weapon and weapon-related functions from 50 USC 2402 Chapter 41. DOE/NNSA and DoD cooperate in the development production and maintenance of nuclear weapons. Figure 1.1-1 illustrates DOE/NNSA/DoD organizational interrelationships. The basic document that establishes the interrelationships between the two agencies is "An Agreement Between the AEC and the DoD for the Development Production and Standardization of Atomic Weapons" dated March 21 1953. This is commonly referred to as the "1953 Agreement." It was updated on September 5 1984 by the "Supplement to the 1953 Agreement for the Development Production and Standardization of Atomic Weapons Between the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense." The supplement delineates the functions of DOE/NNSA and DoD during joint feasibility studies for nuclear weapons Phase 2 design definition and cost studies Phase 2A and development engineering Phase 3. The 1953 Agreement was updated again in<br/>1990 and supersedes the 1953 version. Numerous Memoranda of Understanding MOU Memoranda of Agreement MOA and supplements provide additional guidance to agencies involved in the weapon development programs. Most of these are identified in a document titled "An Overview of DOE/DoD Memorandums of Understanding MOU and Memorandums of Agreement MOA Relating to Nuclear Weapons Development Production and Stockpile." In general DOE/NNSA is responsible for designing developing producing updating and dismantling nuclear warheads nuclear weapon trainers and ancillary equipment while DoD is responsible for designing developing and producing and dismantling the weapon delivery system.

Final Site-Wide Environmental Impact Statement for Continued Operation of Los Alamos National Laboratory Los Alamos New Mexico; DOE/EIS-0380

200775574Los Alamos NM: Los Alamos National Laboratory 2007. Concurrence Draft. DVD. Very good. This disk includes the Summary Volume 1 chapters 1-11 Volume 2 Appendices A-M and Volume 3 Comment Response Document. The disk contains 2358 KB. NNSA proposes to continue operating Los Alamos National Laboratory LANL which is located in Los Alamos County in north-central New Mexico. NNSA has identified and assessed three alternatives for continued operation of LANL: 1 No Action 2 Reduced Operations and 3 Expanded Operations. The Expanded Operations Alternative includes the impacts of actions to implement the March 2005 Compliance Order on Consent Consent Order entered into by DOE the LANL management and operating contractor and the State of New Mexico to address the investigation and remediation of environmental contamination at LANL. NNSA intends to implement actions necessary to comply with the Consent Order regardless of whether it implements other actions analyzed as part of the Expanded Operations Alternative. Expanded Operations is NNSA's Preferred Alternative. Under the No Action Alternative NNSA would continue the historical mission support activities conducted at LANL at currently approved operational levels. Under the Reduced Operations Alternative NNSA would eliminate some activities and limit the operations of other activities. Under the Expanded Operations Alternative NNSA would operate LANL at the highest levels of activity currently foreseeable including full implementation of mission assignments. Under all of the alternatives the affected environment is primarily within 50 miles 80 kilometers of LANL. Analyses indicate little difference in the environmental impacts of the alternatives on many resource areas. The primary discriminators are public risk due to radiation exposure collective worker risk due to radiation exposure socioeconomic effects due to LANL employment changes electrical power and water demand waste management and transportation.
