Bibliography of Space Studies Board Planetary Sciences Reports. Cover has wear and soiling. An Integrated Strategy for the Planetary Sciences: 1995-2010 explains that a responsive planetary exploration program demands a mix of mission sizes ranging from comprehensive missions with multiple objectives such as Galileo and Cassini to small missions with highly constrained scientific objectives. 2 At the same time The Role of Small Missions in Planetary and Lunar Exploration concluded that a series of small missions present "the planetary science community with the opportunity to expand the scope of its activities and to develop the potential and inventiveness of its members in ways not possible within the confines of large traditional programs." In 1992 the National Research Council's Space Studies Board charged its Committee on Planetary and Lunar Exploration to: 1 summarize current understanding of the planets and the solar system; 2 pose significant scientific questions; and 3 establish priorities for scientific exploration of the planets for the period from 1995 to 2010. The scientific goals of solar system exploration include: 1 understanding how physical and chemical processes determine the major characteristics of the planets; 2 learning how planetary systems evolve; 3 determining how life developed particularly on Earth and in what ways life modifies planetary environments; and 4 discovering how simple basic laws of physics and chemistry can lead to the diverse phenomena observed in complex systems. COMPLEX maintains that the most useful programs to emphasize in the period from 1995 to 2010 are investigations of comets Mars and Jupiter and an intensive search for and characterization of extrasolar planets.

Includes illustrations. Title continues: "Physics and Astronomy Panel on the Assessment of Inertial Confinement Fusion Targets. 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

Ex-library with usual markings. Some markings blacked out. Cover has some wear and soiling and front corner creased. The Committee was asked to conduct a comprehensive review of the biological effects of ionizing radiation focusing on information that had been reported since the conclusion of the BEIR III study and to the extent that available information permitted provide new estimates of the risks of genetic and somatic effects in humans due to low-level exposures of ionizing radiation. These risk estimates were to address both internal and external sources of radiation and the procedures by which these risk estimates were derived was to be documented. The Committee on the Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation BEIR is a committee of the American National Research Council. It publishes reports on the effects of ionizing radiation. This book reevaluates the health risks of ionizing radiation in light of data that have become available since the 1980 report on this subject was published. The data include new much more reliable dose estimates for the A-bomb survivors the results of an additional 14 years of follow-up of the survivors for cancer mortality recent results of follow-up studies of persons irradiated for medical purposes and results of relevant experiments with laboratory animals and cultured cells. It analyzes the data in terms of risk estimates for specific organs in relation to dose and time after exposure and compares radiation effects between Japanese and Western populations.

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

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.
