201267790Washington DC: The National Academies Press 2012. PResumed first edition/first printing. Trade paperback. Very good. xx 200 p. Illustrations. References. Title continues: Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board DIvision of Earth and Life Studies Board on Higher Education and Workforce Division on Policy and Global Affairs National Research Council of the National Academies. This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration and other agencies. The growing use of nuclear medicine the potential expansion of nuclear power generation and the urgent needs to protect the nation against external nuclear threats to maintain our nuclear weapons stockpile and to manage the nuclear wastes generated in past decades require a substantial highly trained and exceptionally talented workforce. Assuring a Future U.S. -Based Nuclear and Radiochemistry Expertise examines supply and demand for expertise in nuclear chemistry nuclear science and radiochemistry in the United States and presents possible approaches for ensuring adequate availability of these skills including necessary science and technology training platforms. Considering a range of reasonable scenarios looking to the future none of these areas are likely to experience a decrease in demand for expertise. However many in the current workforce are approaching retirement age and the number of students opting for careers in nuclear and radiochemistry has decreased dramatically over the past few decades. In order to avoid a gap in these critical areas increases in student interest in these careers in the research and educational capacity of universities and colleges and sector specific on-the-job training will be needed. Concise recommendations are given for actions to avoid a shortage of nuclear chemistry nuclear scientists and radiochemists in the future. From Wikipedia: "The National Research Council NRC is the working arm of the United States National Academies which produces reports that shape policies inform public opinion and advance the pursuit of science engineering and medicine. The National Academies include: National Academy of Sciences NAS National Academy of Engineering NAE Institute of Medicine IOM Unlike the other three organizations of the National Academies the National Research Council is not a membership organization. The National Research Council was organized in 1916 in response to the increased need for scientific and technical services caused by World War I. On June 1 1917 the council convened a meeting of scientific representatives of the UK and France with interested parties from the US on the subject of submarine detection. The results obtained and the problems in the work were discussed. A further meeting with the British and French was held in Paris in October 1918 at which more details of their work was disclosed. As a result of this the council recommended that US scientists be brought together to work on the problems. A New York Group worked on "supersonics" as did a San Pedro Group. A New London Group worked on binaural receivers while Chicago and Wisconsin Groups were assigned various problems in support of the other groups. Due to the success of Council-directed research in producing a sound-based method of detecting submarines as well as other military innovations the NRC was retained at the end of the war though it was gradually decoupled from the military. The Research Council is currently administered jointly by the National Academy of Sciences the National Academy of Engineering and the Institute of Medicine and its work is overseen by a Governing Board and an Executive Committee."

This prepublication copy was embargoed for release until Wednesday February 20 2013 at 11: 00 a.m. EST. From a National Academies internet posting: "The energy produced by nuclear fusion has the potential to provide a low-carbon base-load source of electricity; however significant scientific and engineering efforts are still required before the feasibility of a commercial fusion plant can be established. Initiating fusion based upon magnetic confinement and inertial confinement of the fusion plasma have been studied for decades. In inertial confinement fusion ICF a driver delivers energy to the surface of a pellet of fuel heating and compressing it. There are many approaches for initiation fusion using inertial confinement. For example different driver concepts have very different operating conditions and characteristics. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each approach is central to the effort to develop IFE as a power source. Given the current level of activity in ICF research now is an appropriate time to consider how to proceed regarding inertial fusion as a potential power source. An NRC committee and panel will be formed to provide findings and recommendations to advise DOE on the development of an R&D roadmap for inertial fusion energy. All the approaches to ICF will require much investigation and will need to be considered in any long-term R&D strategy." The National Academices Press paperback

Expansion of micro-technology applications and rapid advances in nano-science have generated considerable interest by the Air Force in how these developments will affect the nature of warfare and how it could exploit these trends. The report notes four principal themes emerging from the current technological trends: increased information capability miniaturization new materials and increased functionality. Recommendations about Air Force roles in micro-and nanotechnology research are presented including those areas in which the Air Force should take the lead. The report also provides a number of technical and policy findings and recommendations that are critical for effective development of the Air Force's micro-and nano-science and technology program.

From Wikipedia: "Microtechnology is technology with features near one micrometre one millionth of a metre or 10− 6 metre or 1¼m. In the 1960s scientists learned that by arraying large numbers of microscopic transistors on a single chip microelectronic circuits could be built that dramatically improved performance functionality and reliability all while reducing cost and increasing volume. This development led to the Information Revolution. More recently scientists have learned that not only electrical devices but also mechanical devices may be miniaturized and batch-fabricated promising the same benefits to the mechanical world as integrated circuit technology has given to the electrical world. While electronics now provide the brains for today s advanced systems and products micromechanical devices can provide the sensors and actuators the eyes and ears hands and feet which interface to the outside world. Today micromechanical devices are the key components in a wide range of products such as automobile airbags ink-jet printers blood pressure monitors and projection display systems. It seems clear that in the not-too-distant future these devices will be as pervasive as electronics." From WIkipedia: "Nanotechnology sometimes shortened to "nanotech" is the manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. The earliest widespread description of nanotechnology1 2 referred to the particular technological goal of precisely manipulating atoms and molecules for fabrication of macroscale products also now referred to as molecular nanotechnology. A more generalized description of nanotechnology was subsequently established by the National Nanotechnology Initiative which defines nanotechnology as the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers. This definition reflects the fact that quantum mechanical effects are important at this quantum-realm scale and so the definition shifted from a particular technological goal to a research category inclusive of all types of research and technologies that deal with the special properties of matter that occur below the given size threshold. It is therefore common to see the plural form "nanotechnologies" as well as "nanoscale technologies" to refer to the broad range of research and applications whose common trait is size. With a variety of potential applications nanotechnologies are key for the future and governments have invested billions of dollars in their research. Through its National Nanotechnology Initiative the USA has invested 3.7 billion. The National Academies Press paperback
200577127Washington DC: The National Academies Press 2005. Presumed First Edition First printing. Trade paperback. Very good. xii 72 pages. Illustrations. References. Appendices includes Biographical Sketches of Committee Members and Acronyms. To manage the massive cleanup of sites involved in the production of nuclear weapons materials throughout the Manhattan Project and the Cold War the Department of Energy DOE established in 1989 its Office of Environmental Remediation and Waste Management renamed the Office of Environmental Management EM in 1994. Because of the complexity of cleaning up this legacy of waste and contamination limited experience and changing requirements identifying actual costs and time required to complete the cleanup was a challenge from the beginning. In June 1998 EM issued its first comprehensive plan Paths to Closure DOE 1998a for accelerating the cleanup and reducing costs. Currently according to EM's plan for accelerated cleanup the total life cycle cost is estimated to be about $142 billion with completion in 2035. EM is considering how the schedule and costs might be reduced further without compromising its commitments to health and safety. EM commissioned this study by the National Academies' Board on Radioactive Waste Management BRWM to provide technical advice for EM's accelerated cleanup program specifically by identifying opportunities for EM to improve its capabilities for characterizing and treating the legacy wastes and contamination that are within the scope of the accelerated cleanup program. While acknowledging that site cleanup is a multifaceted challenge including establishing cleanup goals legal and regulatory compliance and public confidence the committee confined its study to the technical issues set forth in its Study Prospectus and Statement of Task . EM's technical capability to manage its wastes and environmental contamination is essential for accomplishing the cleanup regardless of how non-technical issues surrounding site cleanup may change over the time.

Integrated computational materials engineering ICME is an emerging discipline that can accelerate materials development and unify design and manufacturing. Developing ICME is a grand challenge that could provide significant economic benefit. To help develop a strategy for development of this new technology area DOE and DoD asked the NRC to explore its benefits and promises including the benefits of a comprehensive ICME capability; to establish a strategy for development and maintenance of an ICME infrastructure and to make recommendations about how best to meet these opportunities. This book provides a vision for ICME a review of case studies and lessons learned an analysis of technological barriers and an evaluation of ways to overcome cultural and organizational challenges to develop the discipline.

OPERATION BUSHMASTER is a field training exercise FTX conducted at Fort Indiatown Gap Pennsylvania. During this exercise senior USU medical students Graduate Nursing students and international military medical officers are formally evaluated on their medical knowledge and leadership abilities in a simulated resource constrained far forward tactical field setting. Students assume leadership positions in a joint battalion aid station where they are presented with operationally current reality based missions and operational problems for which they must plan and execute while simultaneously managing the medical care of simulated Disease and Non-Battle Injury DNBI patients combat stress casualties and combat trauma casualties. Before "Operation Bushmaster" students go through a two-week military contingency medicine course during which they are presented operational problems and receive pre-deployment training just as they would prior to a real deployment. This classroom phase includes lectures and is focused on team building. The students become a cohesive unit as they prepare to deploy to a fictional country facing challenges from rebel forces. Divided into two groups the students were sent sequentially to spend four days at this large National Guard base nestled in the mountains just north of Hershey Pennsylvania. They were assigned to one of four platoons - all undergoing identical scenarios planning and executing missions while simultaneously caring for a variety of casualties ranging in severity from fatigue to gunshot wounds. The exercise featured nearly 1000 encounters with simulated patients. While patient care is a large part of their training leadership communication skills and logistics are just as important. Students were assigned various roles during the exercise such as patient administrator triage officer medical logistics or litter bearers transporting patients. They frequently rotated positions allowing every student to practice each role. The students also were graded on how well they performed key positions including platoon leader ambulance team leader surgeon and combat stress control officer. They were graded on a number of factors such as communication and leadership skills as they were observed by more than 60 faculty members from Uniformed Services University as well as from across the country.
