Acronym List. Reference List. CD is NOT PRESENT. Nuclear weapons life extension and countering nuclear threats will continue to be a central concern for the United States and the Department of Defense. The Department has identified the dual missions of sustaining a safe secure and effective nuclear deterrent and countering the threat from nuclear terrorism and nuclear proliferation as among the most important for U.S. national security priorities. Nuclear Matters serves as the focal point for these missions within the Department of Defense. Since the early 1990s the U.S. Nuclear Weapons Program has evolved significantly as a result of unilateral and bilateral arms reductions and the end of underground nuclear testing in the United States; successive editions of this work have been revised and restructured to reflect these changes. This book is intended to be an unofficial reference that explains the history and development of the U.S. Nuclear Weapons Program as well as the current activities associated with sustaining the U.S. nuclear deterrent. It is designed to be useful but it is neither authoritative nor directive. Please refer to the applicable statute regulation Department of Defense Direction/Instruction or Department of Energy Order for definitive guidance in all areas related to the U.S. Nuclear Weapons Program.

Various paginations approximately 300 pages. Illustrations. Diagrams. Maps. References. The NRC Authorization Bill for Fiscal 1979 directed the NRC to conduct a study of extending the Commisson's licensing or regulatory authority to include categories of existing and future Federal radioactive waste storage and disposal activities not presently subject to such authority. The report includes a complete listing and inventory of all radioactive waste storage and disposal activities now being conducted or planned by Federal agencies. The NRC study has attempted to present a general comparison of the relative hazards associated with defense-generated and commercial wastes. Options for extending the Commission authority were developed and analyzed. The implications of NEPA were analyzed in the context of these options. The national security implications of extending NRC's regulatory authority voer DOE programs are examined and evaluated. Costs and benefits are identified and assessed. The Commission's recommendations based on the study are to extend licensing authority over new DOE disposal activities involving transuranic wastes and non-defense low-level waste and to initiate a pilot program to test the feasibility of NRC playing a consultative role in the evaluation of existing DOE activities.

List of Documents. The Commission on Maintaining United States Nuclear Weapons Expertise hereafter referred to as the Commission was prescribed by the National Defense Authorization Act of FY 1997. The Congress identified the need for the Commission because of the substantial changes in the environment affecting nuclear weapons design production and testing since the end of the Cold War. In view of these changes the Commission was tasked with reviewing ongoing efforts of Department of Energy DOE to attract scientific engineering and technical personnel recommending improvements and identifying actions where needed and developing a plan for recruitment and retention within the DOE nuclear weapons complex.1 We have arrived at 12 recommendations in four areas: national commitment program management personnel policies and oversight. What the Commission proposed was not a classic plan in the narrow sense but a series of recommendations to assure that critical well-qualified personnel are available to execute the Stockpile Stewardship Program SSP and to assure the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile today and in future years. The Commission was directed to "Develop a plan for recruiting and retaining within the Department of Energy DOE nuclear weapons complex such scientified engineering and technical personnel as the Commission determines appropriate in order to permit the Department to maintain over the long term a safe and reliable nuclear weapons stockpile without engaging in underground nuclear testing.

Acronyms and Abbreviations. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Nuclear weapons life extension and countering nuclear threats will continue to be a central concern for the United States and the Department of Defense. The Department has identified the dual missions of sustaining a safe secure and effective nuclear deterrent and countering the threat from nuclear terrorism and nuclear proliferation as among the most important for U.S. national security priorities. Nuclear Matters serves as the focal point for these missions within the Department of Defense. "To deter nuclear war and serve as last resort weapons of self-defense. In this sense U.S. nuclear weapons are fundamental to our nation's security and have historically provided a deterrent against aggression and security assurance to U.S. allies. A robust flexible and survivable U.S. nuclear arsenal underpins the U.S. ability to deploy conventional forces worldwide; provides the Commander-in-Chief with credible response options to strengthen deterrence; and supports U.S. nonproliferation goals by extending deterrence to allies thereby dissuading them from developing their own nuclear weapons." Secretary of Defense Mattis at his confirmation hearing January 2017 This was intended to be a basic reference on the nuclear hardening of military systems. This Guidebook was not intended to be a definitive document on the effects of nuclear weapons or a "how to" guide for Project Managers but rather it provides information to staff officers who require a basic understanding of nuclear hardening as it relates to the acquisition of nuclear survivable systems. The information is this Guidebook was current as of September 1999. Nuclear weapon system survivability is concerned with the ability of U.S. nuclear deterrent forces to survive against the entire threat spectrum that includes but is not limited to nuclear weapon effects. The vast range of potential threats include: · conventional and electronic weaponry; · nuclear biological and chemical weapons; · advanced technology weapons such as high-power microwaves and radio frequency weapons; · terrorism or sabotage; and · the initial effects of a nuclear detonation. Put simply nuclear weapon effects survivability refers to the ability of any and all personnel equipment and systems including but not limited to nuclear systems to survive nuclear weapon effects. Nuclear weapon system survivability refers to nuclear weapon systems being survivable against any threat including but not limited to the nuclear threat. Nuclear hardness describes the ability of a system to withstand the effects of a nuclear detonation and to avoid internal malfunction or performance degradation. Hardness measures the ability of a system's hardware to withstand physical effects such as overpressure peak velocities energy absorbed and electrical stress. This reduction in hardware vulnerability can be achieved through a variety of well-established design specifications or through the selection of well-built and well-engineered components. This appendix does not address residual nuclear weapon effects such as fallout nor does it discuss nuclear contamination survivability. United States. Department of Defense paperback

K-25 was the codename given by the Manhattan Project during World War II for the project to produce enriched uranium for atomic bombs using the gaseous diffusion method. Over time it came to refer to the production facility located at the Clinton Engineer Works in Oak Ridge Tennessee the main gaseous diffusion building and ultimately the site. When it was built in 1944 the four-story K-25 gaseous diffusion plant was the world's largest building with over 1640000 square feet of floor space and a volume of 97500000 cubic feet . The highly corrosive uranium hexafluoride UF6 was the only known compound of uranium sufficiently volatile to be used in this process. Slightly enriched product from the S-50 thermal diffusion plant was fed into the K-25 gaseous diffusion plant. The enriched uranium was used in the Little Boy atomic bomb used in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. In 1946 the K-25 gaseous diffusion plant became capable of producing highly enriched product. After the war four more gaseous diffusion plants were added to the site named K-27 K-29 K-31 and K-33. The K-25 site was renamed the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant in 1955. Production of enriched uranium ended in 1964. Union Carbide Nuclear Company paperback
