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.

Peaceful nuclear explosions PNEs are nuclear explosions conducted for non-military purposes such as activities related to economic development including the creation of canals. During the 1960s and 1970s both the United States and the Soviet Union conducted a number of PNEs. Six of the explosions by the Soviet Union are considered to have been of an applied nature not just tests. Subsequently the United States and the Soviet Union halted their programs. Definitions and limits are covered in the Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty of 1976. In the PNE Treaty the signatories agreed: not to carry out any individual nuclear explosions having a yield exceeding 150 kilotons; not to carry out any group explosion consisting of a number of individual explosions having an aggregate yield exceeding 1500 kilotons; and not to carry out any group explosion having an aggregate yield exceeding 150 kilotons unless the individual explosions in the group could be identified and measured by agreed verification procedures. The parties also reaffirmed their obligations to comply fully with the Limited Test Ban Treaty of 1963. The parties reserve the right to carry out nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes in the territory of another country if requested to do so but only in full compliance with the yield limitations and other provisions of the PNE Treaty and in accord with the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty of 1996 prohibits all nuclear explosions regardless of whether they are for peaceful purposes or not. Project Gasbuggy was an underground nuclear detonation carried out by the United States Atomic Energy Commission on December 10 1967 in rural northern New Mexico. It was part of Operation Plowshare a program designed to find peaceful uses for nuclear explosions. Gasbuggy was carried out by the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory and the El Paso Natural Gas Company with funding from the Atomic Energy Commission. Its purpose was to determine if nuclear explosions could be useful in fracturing rock formations for natural gas extraction. The site lying in the Carson National Forest is approximately 34 km 21 mi southwest of Dulce New Mexico and 87 km 54 mi east of Farmington and was chosen because natural gas deposits were known to be held in sandstone beneath Leandro Canyon. A 29 kt 120 TJ device was placed at a depth of 1288 m 4227 ft underground then the well was backfilled before the device was detonated; a crowd had gathered to watch the detonation from atop a nearby butte. The detonation took place after a couple of delays the last one caused by a breakdown of the explosive refrigeration system. The detonation produced a rubble chimney that was 24 m 80 ft wide and 102 m 335 ft high above the blast center. After an initial surface cleanup effort the site sat idle for over a decade. A later surface cleanup effort primarily tackled leftover toxic materials. In 1978 a marker monument was installed at the Surface Ground Zero SGZ point that provided basic explanation of the historic test. Below the main plaque lies another which indicates that no drilling or digging is allowed without government permission. The site is publicly accessible via the Carson National Forest F.S. 357 dirt road/Indian J10 that leads into the Carson National Forest. Following the Project Gasbuggy test two subsequent nuclear explosion fracturing experiments were conducted in western Colorado in an effort to refine the technique. They were Project Rulison in 1969 and Project Rio Blanco in 1973. In both cases the gas radioactivity was still seen as too high and in the last case the triple-blast rubble chimney structures disappointed the design engineers. Soon after that test the ~ 15-year Project Plowshare program funding dried up. These early fracturing tests were later superseded by hydraulic fracturing fracking technologies.

Tables. Abbreviations and Acronyms. Recommendations. Appendices. The joint review of the Los Alamos National Laboratory cleanup program was conducted in early 2005. 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.

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. The content of Nuclear Matters: A Practical Guide is the sole responsibility of the Office of the Deputy Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Nuclear Matters. This guide to Nuclear Matters can be read cover-to-cover for those who seek to understand the Program in its entirety and can also be used as a reference source to look up useful facts and information concerning specific areas. This guide is unofficial although every effort had been mad eto ensure that it is accurate and comprehensive. United States. Department of Defense paperback

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
