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."

Very good. 2 iii 1 ES-ii 31 1 4 pages. Footnotes. Boxes. The Panel consisted of John S. Foster Jr. Chairman and Harold M. Agnew Sydell P. Gold Stephen J. Guidice and James R. Schlesinger. From the Executive Summary: Congress established this Panel in 1999 to examine whether the United States can expect to sustain confidence in its nuclear deterrent while complying with the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. This year we reviewed the national capability to perform the high priority day-to-day work of stockpile stewardship - surveillance assessments refurbishment annual certification and production. We find a disturbing gap between the nation's declaratory policy that maintenance of a safe and reliable nuclear stockpile is a supreme national interest and the actions taken to support this policy. We the Panel are particularly concerned about the Department of Energy's nuclear weapons production complex. cont. Internal and independent reviews including ours find that after more than a decade of under-investment in the weapons complex it is at unacceptably high risk to perform currently agreed upon weapon refurbishments and it remains unready to fix nuclear component problems that may arise in years ahead. Throughout the broader complex the trends point downward because of the aging of facilities and the workforce. Morale is low especially in the laboratories. Parts of the weapon complex infrastructure are defective; the production capabilities that remain are fragile. The Panel sees a growing need for a coherent vision comprehensive plan and programmatic commitment to reverse this situation. The panel issued recommendations on the production complex; design production and certification; surveillance; assessment tools and methods; annual certification process; DoD's roles; and test readiness.

A Joint Interagency Working Group JIWG under the auspices of the Department of Homeland Security Office of Research and Development conducted a technology assessment of emergency radiological dose assessment capabilities as part of the overall need for rapid emergency medical response in the event of a radiological terrorist event in the United States. The goal of the evaluation is to identify gaps and recommend general research and development needs to better prepare the Country for mitigating the effects of such an event. Given the capabilities and roles for responding to a radiological event extend across many agencies a consensus of gaps and suggested development plans was a major goal of this evaluation and road-mapping effort. The working group consisted of experts representing the Departments of Homeland Security Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health Food and Drug Administration Department of Defense and the Department of Energy's National Laboratories see appendix A for participants. The specific goals of this Technology Assessment and Roadmap were to: 1 Describe the general context for deployment of emergency radiation dose assessment tools following terrorist use of a radiological or nuclear device; 2 Assess current and emerging dose assessment technologies; and 3 Put forward a consensus high-level technology roadmap for interagency research and development in this area. This report provides a summary of the consensus of needs gaps and recommendations for a research program in the area of radiation dosimetry for early response followed by a summary of the technologies available and on the near-term horizon. We then present a roadmap for a research program to bring present and emerging near-term technologies to bear on the gaps in radiation dose assessment and triage. Finally we present detailed supporting discussion on the nature of the threats we considered the status of technology today promising emerging technologies and references for further reading.

The team was staffed by members of the Office of Environmental Management and the National Nuclear Security Administration. The purpose of the review was to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the scope of work for the LANL environmental cleanup program against the requirements of the New Mexico Environment Department NMED Consent Order the US Environment Protection Agency Federal Facility Compliance Act and other requirements. In particular the review evaluated the then currently planned scope as well as potential new scope to ensure it was well understood; that associated cost estimates and schedules were based on reasonable assumptions and approaches to work planning and execution and that the projects were being developed and managed in accordance with the requirements of DOE Order 413 for project management.

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.

Recommendations include building an effective global nuclear security system becoming parties to relevant nuclear security treaties strengthening voluntary mechanisms securing military and other non-civilian materials to the same or higher standards as civilian materials and improving individual state stewardship of nuclear materials. Foreword by Sam Nunn NTI Co-Chairman Executive Summary Recommendations Maps and Results Tables. . The second edition of the NTI Index assesses progress that states have made in improving nuclear materials security conditions. As a result there are a number of changes to the NTI Index framework for the 2014 edition including adding new indicators and sub indicators in several categories. All states--even those without weapons-usable nuclear materials-must be alert to and must guard against the possibility that their territories could b used as a safe haven staging ground or transit point for terrorist operations. Remaining Challenges include the lack of an effective global system for securing weapons-usable nuclear materials; and the lack of global standards information sharing or accountability mechanisms in nuclear security. NTI produces a biennial "Nuclear Security Index" in partnership with the Economist Intelligence Unit.citation needed The "NTI Index" benchmarks nuclear security conditions across 176 countries and holds governments accountable for properly securing dangerous nuclear materials. According to NTI The NTI Index is the premier resource for political leaders government officials experts academics and the news media worldwide on nuclear materials security The Nuclear Threat Initiative NTI is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization founded in 2001 by former U.S. Senator Sam Nunn and philanthropist Ted Turner in the United States which works to prevent catastrophic attacks and accidents with weapons of mass destruction and disruption - nuclear biological radiological chemical and cybersecurity. NTI has been engaged in developing shaping and implementing nuclear security projects.citation needed In addition to building global awareness NTI engages in model programs to inspire private and governmental efforts toward nuclear biological and chemical threat reduction.citation needed The Nuclear Threat Initiative serves as the Secretariat for the "Nuclear Security Project" in cooperation with the Hoover Institution.citation needed Former Secretary of State George P. Shultz former Secretary of Defense William J. Perry former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger and former Senator Sam Nunn guide the project-an effort to galvanize global action to reduce urgent nuclear dangers and build support for reducing reliance on nuclear weapons ultimately ending them as a threat to the world.
