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.

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

Contains Acknowledgments Foreword Executive Summary Maps and Results Tables Index Observations Recommendations and Looking Ahead. Also contains Appendices: Economist Intelligence Unit Methodology About the International Panel of Experts About NTI and the EIU Selected Country Summaries Resources for Countries and Glossary. 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.

201273678Washington DC: Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future 2012. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. xxi1 158 pages. Illustrations color. Maps. Endnotes. Cover creased and has slight wear and soiling. Members of the commission included: Lee Hamilton Brent Scowcroft Albert Carnesdale Pete Domenici Susan Eisenhower Chuck Hagel and Ernest Moniz. A Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future was appointed by President Obama to look into future options for existing and future nuclear waste following the ending of work on the incomplete Yucca Mountain Repository. At present there are 70 nuclear power plant sites where 65000 tons of spent fuel is stored in the USA. Each year more than 2000 tons are added to this total. Nine states have "explicit moratoria on new nuclear power until a storage solution emerges". A deep geological repository seems to be the favored approach to storing nuclear waste. On January 26 2012 the Commission submitted its final report to Energy Secretary Steven Chu. The Commission put forth seven recommendations for developing a comprehensive strategy to pursue. A major recommendation was that "the United States should undertake an integrated nuclear waste management program that leads to the timely development of one or more permanent deep geological facilities for the safe disposal of spent fuel and high-level nuclear waste". On January 26 2012 the Commission submitted its final report to Energy Secretary Steven Chu. In their final report the Commission put forth several recommendations for developing a comprehensive strategy to pursue. A major recommendation was that "the United States should undertake an integrated nuclear waste management program that leads to the timely development of one or more permanent deep geological facilities for the safe disposal of spent fuel and high-level nuclear waste". There is an "international consensus on the advisability of storing nuclear waste in deep underground repositories" but no country in the world has yet opened such a site. In their final report the Commission put forth seven recommendations for developing a comprehensive strategy to pursue: Recommendation #1--The United States should undertake an integrated nuclear waste management program that leads to the timely development of one or more permanent deep geological facilities for the safe disposal of spent fuel and high-level nuclear waste. Recommendation #2--A new single-purpose organization is needed to develop and implement a focused integrated program for the transportation storage and disposal of nuclear waste in the United States. Recommendation #3--Assured access to the balance in the Nuclear Waste Fund NWF and to the revenues generated by nuclear waste fee payments from utility ratepayers is absolutely essential and must be provided to the new nuclear waste management organization. Recommendation #4--A new approach is needed to site and develop nuclear waste facilities in the United States in the future. We believe that these processes are most likely to succeed if they are: · Adaptive-in the sense that process itself is flexible and produces decisions that are responsive to new information and new technical social or political developments. · Staged-in the sense that key decisions are revisited and modified as necessary along the way rather than being pre-determined in advance. · Consent-based-in the sense that affected communities have an opportunity to decide whether to accept facility siting decisions and retain significant local control. · Transparent-in the sense that all stakeholders have an opportunity to understand key decisions and engage in the process in a meaningful way. · Standards- and science-based-in the sense that the public can have confidence that all facilities meet rigorous objective and consistently-applied standards of safety and environmental protection. · Governed by partnership arrangements or legally-enforceable agreements with host states tribes and local communities. Recommendation #5--The current division of regulatory responsibilities for long-term repository performance between the NRC and the EPA is appropriate and should continue. The two agencies should develop new site-independent safety standards in a formally coordinated joint process that actively engages and solicits input from all the relevant constituencies. Recommendation #6--The roles responsibilities and authorities of local state and tribal governments with respect to facility siting and other aspects of nuclear waste disposal must be an element of the negotiation between the federal government and the other affected units of government in establishing a disposal facility. In addition to legally-binding agreements as discussed in Recommendation #4 all affected levels of government local state tribal etc. must have at a minimum a meaningful consultative role in all other important decisions. Additionally states and tribes should retain-or where appropriate be delegated-direct authority over aspects of regulation permitting and operations where oversight below the federal level can be exercised effectively and in a way that is helpful in protecting the interests and gaining the confidence of affected communities and citizens. Recommendation #7--The Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board NWTRB should be retained as a valuable source of independent technical advice and review.
