Signed by Steadman and Clark upon front free endpaper. 270 pages. "In 1983, when Sally Ride became the first American woman to enter space, there was no question of whether she could handle the physical stress of the flight, because in 1961 a secret study found thirteen women were physically fit and properly motivated to become astronauts. Bernice Steadman was one of the twenty-five women invited, and one of the thirteen to pass that early strenuous physical. But then she was only allowed to watch, not to participate, as American men first flew into space." - from dust jacket. "A window into the life of a very remarkable lady. Bernice fought the battle of gender discrimination with grace, determination and, above all, ability." - Jerri Truhill, Pilot, Mercury 13. Appears unread. A superb copy. Book

These files are Implementation Plan FY 2004 Rev. 1 9 pages Management Plan Rev 9 pages and Program Plan Version 4 37 pages includes some strike-out passages. Underground tests conducted by the Soviet Union continued until 1990 the United Kingdom until 1991 the United States until 1992 and both China and France until 1996. In signing the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty in 1996 these countries pledged to discontinue all nuclear testing; the treaty has not yet entered into force because of its failure to be ratified by eight countries. Non-signatories India and Pakistan last tested nuclear weapons in 1998. North Korea conducted nuclear tests in 2006 2009 2013 2016 and 2017. The most recent confirmed nuclear test occurred in September 2017 in North Korea. The 2022 NPR says that the United States continues to observe a moratorium on nuclear explosive testing. NNSA conducts subcritical i.e. those that do not produce a nuclear yield experiments and uses other tools to maintain stockpile reliability. The 2018 NPR stated that "the United States will not resume nuclear explosive testing unless necessary to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear arsenal." The 2022 NPR notes that the United States "maintains a nuclear explosive test readiness program in the event it is required to resolve technical uncertainties" but "does not envision or desire a return to nuclear testing." Underground nuclear testing is the test detonation of nuclear weapons that is performed underground. When the device being tested is buried at sufficient depth the nuclear explosion may be contained with no release of radioactive materials to the atmosphere. <br /> The extreme heat and pressure of an underground nuclear explosion causes changes in the surrounding rock. The rock closest to the location of the test is vaporized forming a cavity. Farther away there are zones of crushed cracked and irreversibly strained rock. Following the explosion the rock above the cavity may collapse forming a rubble chimney. If this chimney reaches the surface a bowl-shaped subsidence crater may form. The first underground test took place in 1951. Further tests soon led scientists to conclude that even notwithstanding environmental and diplomatic considerations underground testing was of far greater scientific value than all other forms of testing. This understanding strongly influenced the governments of the first three nuclear powers to sign of the Limited Test Ban Treaty in 1963 which banned all nuclear tests except for those performed underground. From then until the signing of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty in 1996 most nuclear tests were performed underground which prevented additional nuclear fallout from entering into the atmosphere.

200388264Washington DC: National Nuclear Security Administration Office of Defense Programs 2003. This may be a unique compilation. Survival status of content documents is unclear. CD in a paper envelope with clear plastic face. Very Good. This CD contains three files: Implementation Plan rev 1; Management Plan Rev. 3 and Program Plan Ver 4. These are draft documents and some pages show strike-outs. The first two are 9 pages each of which after the title and contents leave 7 pages of substance. The program plan is 37 pages and has graphics. From the Implementation Plan: The National Nuclear Security Administration NNSA is transitioning to a shorter test readiness posture. Since 1995 the NNSA has been required to maintain the capability to conduct an underground nuclear test within two to three years from receipt of the order. In FY2003 the NNSA began transitioning to an 18-month test readiness posture to be attained by September 30 2005. This Implementation Plan identifies the activities integration with other sites and programs and funding profile needed for the successful achievement of that objective. It defines associated risks to the schedule and scope of the program. More detail can be found in the Program Plan for Test Readiness. Funding is distributed from NNSA/Headquarters through the Nevada Site Office. The work is organized into five Major Technical Efforts MTEs each with its own MTE Manager. The MTE Manager is responsible for work integration across the participating organizations. The organizational Program Managers are responsible for accomplishing the work at their own organization. A more in-depth description of the management of this program can be found in the Management Plan for Test Readiness. From the Management Plan: The Test Readiness Program overall objective is to transition from the current 36-month to an 18-month nuclear test readiness posture by Sept. 30 2005. The Test Readiness Program is both cost and schedule constrained. Certain technical capabilities and knowledge foundations have not been exercised since the cessation of underground testing and must be re-established. The DOE/NNSA operating principles for the Test Readiness Program are to: Define an overall program governance structure; Solicit planning input from major participants NNSA Nevada Site Office NSO Los Alamos National Laboratory Los Alamos or LANL Livermore National Laboratory Livermore or LLNL Sandia National Laboratories Sandia or SNL and Bechtel Nevada on overall strategy requirements technical objectives current as-is condition of test readiness and resource requirements to meet Presidential directive. Establish clear roles and responsibilities for the integrated program team; Ensure program/cross-project integration; Establish and manage to scope schedule and cost baselines; Focus on program and project execution success; and Control changes. Close coordination between NNSA Los Alamos Livermore Sandia and Bechtel Nevada is necessary to achieve the overall Test Readiness Program objective. The Test Readiness Management Team developed a specific Program Management Plan that provides an operational framework for the successful conduct of the program and its constituent projects. From the Program Plan: The program activities described within this document were identified in the Enhanced Test Readiness Cost Study DOE/NV-828 dated July 1 2002. That study confirmed the findings of other assessments and evaluations that found the longest-lead activities were updating the authorization basis producing replacement field test neutron generators and training technical staff on underground nuclear test-specific activities and diagnostics. The areas "Authorization Basis" and "Diagnostics & Training" comprise two of the five Major Technical Elements needed to achieve the enhanced test readiness posture. The others are: "Planning" "Facilities & Heavy Equipment" and "Operations". Building replacement field test neutron generators began in FY2002 and is funded under Operations. The highest risks for the program are associated with Authorization Basis and Diagnostics & Training. Authorization Basis requires resources that take a long time to train and are heavily used by other Stockpile Stewardship programs. Contracting out some of the work mitigates this. The personnel with underground nuclear test experience who will be needed for the success of Diagnostics & Training are retiring and otherwise becoming unavailable. Accomplishing those activities that require mentors before they leave will mitigate this. This program does not include Defense Threat Reduction Agency DTRA readiness interests beyond NNSA's traditional responsibilities to provide the nuclear source emplace detonate and diagnose the source device performance. Planning for DTRA source availability is addressed in the Major Technical Effort 1 Planning. The balance of NNSA responsibilities for Defense Threat Reduction Agency activities are common to NNSA underground testing and are maintained under NNSA test readiness. Finally it should be noted that this is a plan for test readiness not test execution. Test readiness addresses only those activities that are common to all tests but couldn't be conducted within the 18-month execution time frame. Support of activities to field a set of specific tests falls into the realm of test execution; and while test readiness resources would be used as needed the cost of test execution will require additional funds beyond the scope of test readiness.

75434CD. As new. This item is still in its original plastic wrap. The rear of the sleeve lists the contents: Overview Defense Applications and Modeling; Simulation and Computer Science Integrated Computing Systems University Partnerships Special Projects ASCI's future ASCI's Multidisciplinary Applications. Among the subsections are: Visualization Technilogies at the Los Alamos National Laboratory Visualization Technologies at Sandia National Laboratories ASCI White at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Science at the Level 1 Alliances and Technology Prospectus. The U.S. Department of Energy DOE established the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative ASCI in 1996. The goal of ASCI is to simulate the results of new weapons designs as well as the effects of aging on existing and new designs all in the absence of underground nuclear tests. The ASCI is an applications-driven effort with a goal to develop reliable computational models of the processes involved in the design manufacture and degradation of nuclear weapons. Based on discussions with scientists and engineers with expertise in weapons design manufacturing and in computational physics a goal of simulating full-system three-dimensional nuclear burn and safety simulation processes by the year 2004 was established. A number of applications-based milestones were identified to mark the progress from current simulation capabilities to full-system simulation capabilities. Codes development to simulate casting material aging safety forging welding of microstructures and so on. unknown
