195876552Cape Canaveral: N.p. 1958-1973. This was the personal archive of missile installation foreman Joseph H. Lendle and the majority of it relates to Operation Hardtack I Project 9.31a. Project 9.3a was a series of U.S. nuclear tests conducted in 1958. Specifically Project 9.3a was responsible for the preparation and launch of two Redstone missiles carrying nuclear warheads for high-altitude detonations known as Shots Teak and Orange. These tests were part of Operation Newsreel a subset of Hardtack I focusing on high-altitude nuclear explosions and EMPs.The primary goal of Project 9.3a was to study the effects of nuclear detonations at high altitudes including their impact on communications electromagnetic pulse EMP generation and atmospheric phenomena. The Redstone missiles were modified to carry nuclear devices to altitudes of approximately 76.8 kilometers 47.7 miles. Each missile was also equipped with instrumented pods designed to collect data on pressures thermal and gamma radiation neutron flux and EMP effects. Both missiles were launched from the Johnston Atoll in the Pacific. Shot Teak was a failure and exploded directly over the Johnston Atoll but Shot Orange was an unqualified success. Despite Shot Teak's high-altitude detonation at 252000 feet the explosion was visible from Hawaii with observers reporting an aurora-like effect and a red shell that appeared to pass overhead. The EMP caused a temporary blackouts in Australia and Hawaii.The archive consists of includes 2 black and white snapshots of operations crew and the missile both 5 x 7†3 certificates honoring the participation of Joseph Frank Lendle 1921-2017 lead foreman of Operation Hardtack 2 typed letters signed to Lendle both signed by Kurt H. Debus Director Missile Firing Lab a birthday card from the Launch Operations Directorate a 2 pp. press release for The Florida Times-Union 3 printed memos 5 printed letters with facsimile signatures congratulating Operation Hardtack personnel for their excellent work including one from Dr. Werner van Braun. Sheets generally toned and with staple holes at upper left corners but generally quite nice. One "Certificate of Participation" has a two inch tear and three holes at the upper blank margin where pushpins once held to to a wall. Also included is a later plaque 1975 honoring Lendle’s contribution to the NASA rocket programs listing the launches that he participated in. He participated in 129 launches including those of Redstone Juniper "C' Jupiter Redstone-Mercury Juno Saturn Apollo and Skylab. Lendle worked in the space program for nearly 28 years after his military service in WWII. N.p. unknown

1955221443東京. Tokyo.: 朝日新聞社. Asahi Shinbunsha. Showa 30 1955. Black and white photographic illustrations maps 26.7 x 18.7cm 160pp. First and last leaves browned original blue cloth covered boards with decorative device and characters printed in white dustjacket worn and torn with loss on rear inside panel. A good copy. This fascinating book was published in 1955 ten years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the Asahi Newspaper. The editor claims that the book is the first publication to explain nuclear power visually by using many photographic illustrations. Starting with nuclear weapons and their outcomes in war and radiation it then explores research on nuclear power for industrial usage. It also covers radio isotopes and their possible usage in medicine and other scientific areas. The last section features nuclear power developments in Britain Russia France and Japan. Every page is filled with numerous photographic illustrations with detailed captions. The majority of photographs were sourced from the United States. A comprehensive study on nuclear power and its potential as of 1955. . 朝日新聞社. [Asahi Shinbunsha]. hardcover

First edition of this exceedingly rare geotechnical report for a Pacific Power & Light Co. proposed nuclear power plant to have been constructed at West Roosevelt Washington along the edge of Lake Umatilla in the Columbia River Gorge as part of a group of similar nuclear power plants with the proposed Trojan Nuclear Power plant licensed to run beginning in 1976 at 1100 Megawatts. PP&L together with PG&E had previously examined 2 sites near Arlington OR but then shifted to this site near the Columbia River down from the Hanford Sites later developed for the WPPSS projects. Included are five borings for subsurface conditions 3 borings in the landslide areas geophysical survey to depth of 229 feet geologic mapping of faults stratigraphy and assessment of ground motion. The Slope Stability and Aerial Geological survey results were included in a later separate report by Dr. Rick Kienle.Several nuclear power plants had been proposed and received geotechnical studies in the Pacific Northwest following up the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant constructed upon the site of the former Trojan Powder Co. plant site as well as adjacent properties beginning in 1967. Pitched to PGE as a means to solve the exploding power usage demand in the fast-growing Portland OR area in the Mid-20th-Century by Admiral Lewis Strauss of the Atomic Energy Commission PGE and 13 other utilities began planning in 1967 and construction began July 30 1968. PGE chose to build a pressurized water reactor plant and the enormous plant and huge construction cost were projected at the time to be cheaper than coal-fired power plants to supplement the massive hydropower presence in the PNW. Oregon Governor Tom McCall established the first Nuclear Siting Task Force of the Nuclear Development Coordinating Committee in 1969 in order to approve location of nuclear power plants consistent with Oregon’s environmental protections as well as comply with the forthcoming Clean Air Act passed in 1970.
