First edition of this very scarce original safety analyses reports for Portland General Electricâ€™s pair of nuclear power plants to have been constructed at Pebble Springs in Gilliam County Oregon as part of a group with the proposed Trojan Nuclear Power plant licensed to run beginning in 1976 at 1100 Megawatts. These nuclear power plants had been proposed and begun development soon after construction began at the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant and by 1979 over $ 250 million had been spent by the State of Oregon and PGE on development costs. The two reactors would have been located 3 miles southeast of the Columbia River would have consisted of a Nuclear Steam System for each plant with a Reactor Coolant System supplied by Babcock & Wilcox square lattice reactor cores and abundant auxiliary systems. These reports include a myriad of updates carried out during the regulatory review of the project and the preliminary development work but after passage in 1980 of Ballot Measure 7 by Oregon voters no nuclear power plants could be considered for construction unless there was a Federal high-level waste repository and approval by Oregon voters. 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.

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 Oregonâ€™s environmental protections as well as comply with the forthcoming Clean Air Act passed in 1970.

[NUCLEAR WAR] KAHN, HermanBiblio.com

On Thermonuclear War

196085542Princeton New Jersey: Princeton University Press 1960. First Edition. Octavo. 24cm. Publisher's terracotta cloth titled and ruled in black and gilt to spine. Dustjacket. xx; 651pp. Very light wear and bumping to spine ends and extremities strong and bright; internally clean and fresh; in a grey dustjacket with some minor edgewear and shallow chipping to the spine ends and edges a hint of toning to the spine panel and some light soiling and wear to the white rear panel. A very good handsome copy indeed.<br /> <br /> Kahn's deeply influential analysis of the spectre of thermonuclear war partly intended as a counterpoint to von Neumann's apocalyptic concept of MAD or Mutually Assured Destruction. Kahn posits the strategic possibility of a 'winnable' nuclear conflict questions the solidity of a peace structure based on thermonuclear threat and makes the highly controversial for the time suggestion that the spectre of thermonuclear conflict itself isn't actually that terrifying and that the spectre of it is really what most people get worked up about. Kahn is an analytical strategist his conclusions are based in a zone in which emotion only plays the smallest part and upon publication the book elicited some powerful reactions from readers uncomfortable with the potential at the time inevitable deaths of millions being presented in the form of graphs and calm inexorable strategic detachment. Hubert Humphrey's contemporary review of the work stated "New thoughts particularly those which contradict current assumptions are always painful for the human mind to contemplate. On Thermonuclear War is filled with such thoughts."<br /> <br /> Perhaps as inevitable antidote to the grimly sardonic nature of his analysis Kahn's work earned him a place in the eternal halls of pop culture being the impromptu scriptwriter for the character of General Buck Turgidson in "Dr. Strangelove" and with popular understanding of his theories featuring prominently in fiction from Tom Clancy to "Wargames." Kahn is also credited with the coining of the phrases "Megadeath" as a unit of fatality and "Wargasm" describing the focus of the military personnel he worked with both of which have seeped into common usage. Kahn's borderline crude delivery combining horrifying statistics with jokes about how women will come to love their two-headed babies was deliberately jarring and intended to be equally disruptive to those locked in fearful uninformed paralysis and those working towards the wargasm. The reception of his book was one of the catalyzing elements that led Kahn to be a co-founder of The Hudson Institute after his work at RAND reached its inevitable close. Regardless of how divisive Kahn was both in theory and delivery "On Thermonuclear War" ranks as one of the most important 20th century works of strategic analysis right down to the title being an updated and expanded nod to von Clausewitz's "On War.

Controlled Nuclear Chain Reaction; The First 50 Years

199287382La Grange Park IL: American Nuclear Society 1992. Presumed First Edition First printing. Hardcover. Very good. xii 193 3 pages. Footnotes. Illustrations a few with color. Tabular data. Bibliography. Illustrated front cover. No dust jacket present. It's been 50 years since the Chicago Pile experiment and the first controlled chain reaction. Anonymous volunteer contributors from the ANS have put together this history which ends with a celebration of the future of nuclear power but does not talk of what to do with radioactive waste. This book was prepared by a volunteer effort of a large number of people over several months. The authors take responsibility for the choice of material on the many possible issued covered. It was the belief of the authors that the beneficial impacts of nuclear energy while already enormous represent only a small fraction of the benefits yet to be gained and that this brief history of the first 50 years of the controlled nuclear chain reaction represents only the first phase of the nuclear era. The contents include Introduction Chicago Pile No. 1: The First Controlled Nuclear Chain Reaction; Development of Nuclear Power Plants in the United States; Development of Nuclear Power Plants in Canada and Europe; Status of Nuclear Power Development; Other Peaceful Applications of Nuclear Energy; Nuclear Fuel Technology; Nuclear Safety; and Working Toward a Nuclear Future. Chicago Pile-1 CP-1 was the world's first artificial nuclear reactor. On 2 December 1942 the first human-made self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was initiated in CP-1 during an experiment led by Enrico Fermi. The secret development of the reactor was the first major technical achievement for the Manhattan Project the Allied effort to create nuclear weapons during World War II. Developed by the Metallurgical Laboratory at the University of Chicago CP-1 was built under the west viewing stands of the original Stagg Field. Although the project's civilian and military leaders had misgivings about the possibility of a disastrous runaway reaction they trusted Fermi's safety calculations and decided they could carry out the experiment in a densely populated area. Fermi described the reactor as "a crude pile of black bricks and wooden timbers." After a series of attempts the successful reactor was assembled in November 1942 by a team of about 30 that in addition to Fermi included scientists Leo Szilard Leona Woods Herbert L. Anderson Walter Zinn Martin D. Whitaker and George Weil. The reactor used natural uranium. This required a very large amount of material in order to reach criticality along with graphite used as a neutron moderator. The reactor contained 45000 ultra-pure graphite blocks weighing 360 short tons and was fueled by 5.4 short tons of uranium metal and 45 short tons of uranium oxide. Unlike most subsequent nuclear reactors it had no radiation shielding or cooling system as it operated at very low power - about one-half watt. The success of Chicago Pile-1 provided the first vivid demonstration of the feasibility of the military use of nuclear energy by the Allies as well as the reality of the danger that Nazi Germany could succeed in producing nuclear weapons. Previously estimates of critical masses had been crude calculations leading to order-of-magnitude uncertainties about the size of a hypothetical bomb. The successful use of graphite as a moderator paved the way for progress in the Allied effort. The Germans had failed to account for the importance of boron and cadmium impurities in the graphite samples on which they ran their test of its usability as a moderator while Leo Szilard and Enrico Fermi had asked suppliers about the most common contaminations of graphite after a first failed test. They consequently ensured that the next test would be run with graphite entirely devoid of them. In 1943 CP-1 was moved to Red Gate Woods and reconfigured to become Chicago Pile-2 CP-2. There it was operated for research until 1954 when it was dismantled and buried. The stands at Stagg Field were demolished in August 1957; the site is now a National Historic Landmark and a Chicago Landmark. American Nuclear Society hardcover

Protection and Management of Plutonium; American Nuclear Society Special Panel Report

199574849La Grange Park IL 1995. Wraps. Very good. vii 1 86 pages. Footnotes. Institution stamp on title page with date in ink. Among the members of the Special Panel were: Glen Seaborg Harold Bengelsdorf Harold Agnew Alexander Haig Bertrand Goldschmidt and Rudolph Rometsch. Laid in is a related item 11 pages and business card of the key conclusions and recommendations and other information. The American Nuclear Society ANS established an independent and prestigious panel to publish a report regarding the protection and management of civil and excess weapons plutonium. In terms of approach ANS focused on several short- and long-term issues. The short-term focus was on the disposition of excess weapons plutonium while the longer-range issue concerned the disposition of the plutonium being produced in the civil nuclear fuel cycle. The report contains recommendations that the members believed to be vital to US plutonium management policy it also was intended to serve as a tool for further use. The panel has concluded that immediate emphasis should be placed on the assurance that all unconverted materials are protected as securely as when they were part of the active weapon stockpiles. More importantly the panel also recommended prompt implementation of the so-called reactor option for disposing of surplus US and Russian weapons plutonium. The longer-term issues covered by the panel were those posed by the growing stocks of both separated plutonium and spent fuel generated in the world`s civil nuclear power programs. These issues included what fuel cycle policies should be prudently pursued in light of proliferation risks and likely future energy needs what steps should be taken in regard to the increase in the demand for power in the future and how plutonium in its various forms should be protected and managed to minimize proliferation. Overall the panel concluded that plutonium is an energy resource that should be used and not a waste material to be disposed of. paperback

Symposium on Engineering with Nuclear Explosives January 14-16 1970 Las Vegas Nevada; Summaries CONF-700101

197083909Washington DC: American Nuclear Society and United States Atomic Energy Commission 1970. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Fair. 4 106 pages. Front cover missing. Contents include: Plenary Session Nuclear Excavation Nuclear Excavation Effects Underground Nuclear Effects Radioactivity Oil and Gas Mineral Recovery Nuclear Operations Seismic Effects Water Resources Development Scientific Applications Underground Engineering Applications Closing Plenary Session and Index to Authors. This symposium on 'Engineering with Nuclear Explosives' reports to the Plowshare community both national and international the progress achieved since April 1964 the date of the Third Plowshare Symposium. In structuring the technical presentations contributions of broadest interest were placed at the beginning thus forming a common base of current information and applied science understanding developed in support of Plowshare technology. Sessions of specialty or pertaining to specific areas of application and engineering follow logically in the program. The Plenary Session reviewed the current status of the Plowshare Program from the technical government and industrial points of view. The 112 papers presented at 15 technical sessions covered all technical aspects of the Plowshare Program. The conference summary reviewed principal themes areas of significant advance and subjects requiring further attention that emerged during the technical conference. The full proceedings were issued in two volumes the fuller volume was reportedly approximately 850 pages. This volume consists of presentation summaries. 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. As part of ongoing arms control efforts both programs came to be controlled by a variety of agreements. Most notable among these is the 1976 Treaty on Underground Nuclear Explosions for Peaceful Purposes PNE Treaty. The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty of 1996 prohibits all nuclear explosions regardless of whether they are for peaceful purposes or not. Since that time the topic has been raised several times often as a method of asteroid impact avoidance. American Nuclear Society, and United States Atomic Energy Commission paperback
