Various paginations Approximately 275 pages. Illustrations. Table of Contents mis-bound with second page first. Cover has some wear and soiling. Marked For Official Use Only but given the passage of time and introduction of related information into the public domain this limitation is understood to no longer apply. From the Introduction: Forty years after the introduction of nuclear weapons information is still incomplete concerning the effects on man from ionizing radiation produced by those weapons. the information is important because radiation adversely affect both the combat performance effectiveness and the survivability of personnel. It is hoped that further knowledge will be gained from research such as that conducted by the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute AFRRI. Research to define and manage the effects of ionizing radiation on military personnel is the primary responsibility of AFRRI. AFRRI a unit of the Defense Nuclear Agency DNA is the principal radiobiology research laboratory for the Department of Defense This Five-Year Research Plan is developed in response to the currently defined requirements of the U.S. Armed Services in the area of radiation research. This is the third generation of a DoD Radiation Research Plan. This Plan presents a fully integrated DoD Radiobiology Research Program by including the AFRRI in-house research effort as well as the complementary DNA Biomedical Effects STBE Directorate effort with specific research areas of the Army and the Air Force. Since the development of the first Five-Year Research Plan the AFRRI Board of Governors has required that the Five-Year Research Plan be evaluated and priorities by an operational and medical representative of each Surgeon General. This group the Radiation Research Review Committee has met numerous times since 1981 to recommend changes to the Five-Year Research Plan most recently on 31 October 1985. The changes recommends by the Radiation Research Review Committee have been incorporated and the research priorities established. The major priorities are: Radioprotection Section III Human Response Section IV Quantitation and Preservation of Combat Performance Section V Reconstitution and Preservation of Hemopoietic and Immune Function Section VI Treatment of Radiation Casualties Section VII and Mechanisms of Radiation Sensitivity Section VIII.

197785184New York: American Physical Society 1977. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Wraps. Good/No dust jacket issued. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches by 1.5 inches. Three hole punched. Various paginations. Front cover has wear soiling a blacked out portion name and an edge tear. Other pages have small blacked out portions at the top. This report was to be published in teh Review of Modern Physics per cover. The APS Study Group found existing technology and straightforward extensions sufficient for managing nuclear wastes but unresolved economic institutional and political questions cloud the commercial use of plutonium. The study group consisted of a dozen physicists chemists engineers and geologists. Contents include: Summary of the Study; Introduction; Primer on the Fuel Cycle; LWR Fuel Cycle--Technology and Economics of Reprocessing and Recycle; LWR Fuel Cycle--Assessment of Radiation Exposures; LWR Fuel Cycle--Safeguards; High-Level and TRU Waste Management; Advanced Fuel Cycle Alternatives; Institutional and Organizational Issues of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Waste Management Program and Appendixes. Utilization of nuclear fuels and management of nuclear wastes have become major topics of public discussion. Under the auspices of the American Physical Society this study was undertaken as an independent evaluation of technical issues in the use of fissionable materials in nuclear fuel cycles together with their principal economic environmental health and safety implications. Reprocessing and recycling in light water reactors were examined along with technical measures proposed as possible safeguards; advanced reactor fuel cycles were also studied for their resource and safeguards implications. Much of the work of the group centered on the principal alternatives for disposal of radioactive wastes and control of effluents. The group examined the research and development programs sponsored by government agencies along with associated relationships among agencies and between government and private industry. Available information was also considered on nuclear fuel resources and on important economic and environmental aspects of the various fuel cycles in order to strive for a balanced comparative study. The report presents many conclusions on various aspects of the nuclear fuel cycles and also provides recommendations concerning present utilization and future improvement of fuel cycle technology.

196487717Livermore CA: U.S. Army Engineer Nuclear Cratering Group 1964. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. The format is approximately 8 inches by 10.5 inches. Various paginations approximately 120 pages. Illustrations figures tables tabular data. Ex-library copy with the usual library markings some blacked out. This is part of Plowshare--civil industrial and scientific used for nuclear explosives. The US Army Corps of Engineers Nuclear Cratering Group NCG program activities include: 1 cratering calibration of various geologic media and development of techniques designed to provide a desired crater geometry with chemical high-explosive detonations; 2 joint planning of and technical participation in AEC nuclear-excavation experiments; 3 development of data on the engineering properties of nuclear craters; 4 development of civil works nuclear construction technology; 5 accomplishment of engineering studies of nuclear construction feasibility; and 6execution of joint CE/AEC civil works nuclear-construction experiments. Four conceptual nuclear-construction applications have been identified as having a significant potential for accomplishment: 1 nuclear quarrying to produce rock fill or aggregate; 2 nuclear ejecta dam construction; 3 nuclear harbor construction; and 4 nuclear canal excavation. This inclosure described the design of the nuclear explosions required to excavate the channel for an Isthmian sea-level canal. The Columbian nuclear cue would use 262 devices with a total yield of 2709 megatons fired in 21 separate detonations. Project Plowshare was the overall United States program for the development of techniques to use nuclear explosives for peaceful construction purposes. The program was organized in June 1957 as part of the worldwide Atoms for Peace efforts. As part of the program 35 nuclear warheads were detonated in 27 separate tests. A similar program was carried out in the Soviet Union under the name Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy. Successful demonstrations of non-combat uses for nuclear explosives include rock blasting stimulation of tight gas chemical element manufacture unlocking some of the mysteries of the R-process of stellar nucleosynthesis and probing the composition of the Earth's deep crust creating reflection seismology vibroseis data which has helped geologists and follow-on mining company prospecting. The project's uncharacteristically large and atmospherically vented Sedan nuclear test also led geologists to determine that Barringer crater was formed as a result of a meteor impact and not from a volcanic eruption as had earlier been assumed. This became the first crater on Earth definitely proven to be from an impact event. Negative impacts from Project Plowshare's tests generated significant public opposition which eventually led to the program's termination in 1977. These consequences included tritiated water projected to increase by CER Geonuclear Corporation to a level of 2% of the then-maximum level for drinking water and the deposition of fallout from radioactive material being injected into the atmosphere before underground testing was mandated by treaty. Peaceful nuclear explosions PNEs are nuclear explosions conducted for non-military purposes. Proposed uses include excavation for the building of canals and harbors electrical generation the use of nuclear explosions to drive spacecraft and as a form of wide-area fracking. PNEs were an area of some research from the late 1950s into the 1980s primarily in the United States and Soviet Union. In the U.S. a series of tests were carried out under Project Plowshare. Some of the ideas considered included blasting a new Panama Canal constructing the proposed Nicaragua Canal the use of underground explosions to create electricity Project PACER and a variety of mining geological and radionuclide studies. The largest of the excavation tests was carried out in the Sedan nuclear test in 1962 which released large amounts of radioactive gas into the air. By the late 1960s public opposition to Plowshare was increasing and a 1970s study of the economics of the concepts suggested they had no practical use. Plowshare saw decreasing interest from the 1960s and was officially canceled in 1977. The Soviet program started a few years after the U.S. efforts and explored many of the same concepts under their Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy program. The program was more extensive eventually conducting 239 nuclear explosions. Some of these tests also released radioactivity including a significant release of plutonium into the groundwater and the polluting of an area near the Volga River. A major part of the program in the 1970s and 80s was the use of very small bombs to produce shock waves as a seismic measuring tool and as part of these experiments two bombs were successfully used to seal blown-out oil wells. The program officially ended in 1988. U.S. Army Engineer Nuclear Cratering Group paperback

[iv], v-xiv, 3-259 pages. Index of principal names. Black and white illustrations and reproductions of documents. Endpapers feature facsimiles of fascinating pertinent news clippings of the day. The author, a professor of physics at Northwestern University, was scientific head of the Alsos Mission. "Appointed by the War Department at the request of Major General L.R. Groves, U.S. Army chief of the atom bomb project, it was the duty of this Mission to follow immediately in the wake of our armies in the innvasion of Europe, for the purpose of determining precisely how much the Germans knew about the atom bomb and how far they had progressed in its construction. In other words, Alsos was a scientific intelligence Mission, and since the atom bomb was TOP top secret and pretty much a mystery even to the high military echelons, our work was of necessity shrouded in secrecy. Now the story can be told." - Foreword. Dust jacket not included. Unmarked. Binding intact. Slight lean to spine. Somewhat above-average wear to publisher's pale blue cloth.
