197859785Portland OR: Trojan Decommissioning Alliance 1978. One atlas folio poster. 17 x 21.25 in. printed in blue & brick-red on tan-coloured textured paper unidentified photo of couple on verso minor creasing edgewear very minor pinholes at corners still a VG exemplar from the library of Sam Oakland 1934-2014 was an English professor poet and author and bicycle advocate who started rallying bicycle riders in the late 1960’s and led groups in support of Oregon’s groundbreaking 1971 Bike Bill. First edition of this exceedingly scarce protest poster for Jesse Colin Young of the “Youngbloods†benefit concert raising funds for the famed Oregon-based anti-nuclear protest group Trojan Decommissioning Alliance. The previous August 1977 the group led by Nina Bell and Norman Solomon had carried out the first civil disobedience protest occupation of a U.S. nuclear power plant. Sixty-eight protesters were arrested and the group continued to organize and protest in the remaining months of 1977. By the time this poster was issued they had even issued the Trojan Decommission Alliance Occupation Handbook for another series of civil disobedience protests held August 6-9 1978 which resulted in 100’s more arrests.

Photo-illustrated throughout many colour plates text & captions printed in blue & red black white photo illustrations colour borders. Colour-illustrated softcovers red plastic comb binding as issued minor soiling front cover minor shelfwear still VG- copy. First edition of this souvenir yearbook detailing the largest field trials held in the United States following World War II testing Army and Air Force personnel under conditions of simulated nuclear war even including the faked dropping of an atomic bomb. A number of experimental groups were introduced including a Sky Cavalry which combined the 82nd Airborne with a helicopter unit although there was controversy following the exercises with Armor wanting helicopters attached to mechanized cavalry units and Intelligence wanting aircraft with radar and infrared sensors. Unfortunately the massive maneuvers covering 45 days resulted in massive traffic jams with mechanized units trying to attack during torrential downpours and other logistics issues emerged which the US military attempted to correct when they later applied many of the results to new tactics during the Vietnam 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.

Dated at end of text August 1961.<br /> <br /> A resounding evangelical response to the threat of nuclear war published a few months after the Bay of Pigs Invasion during the build-up of Soviet nuclear defenses in Cuba. The author who signs himself "Carl C. Burns B.D. and Front Line Soldier" promises that New York City "will be in flames" and asks "not what but Who is your defense" Burns cites several lines of scripture to make clear his message that only God may be counted on to protect citizens from the flaming hell of nuclear war.

First edition of this very scarce original safety analyses reports for Portland General Electric’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.

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
