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

90932Xian China: Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology NINT. Unknown edition or printing. Single sheet printed on one side. Very good. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. This is a hardcopy of a color vugraph. On the left side are to photographs. The top has a group of people walking in a tunnel and the lower on is an image of a tunnel. On the right side is a track overland of the tunnel's direction. The middle section is a hand drawn and captioned Tunnel Plan view including a Cross Section drawn at the lower right corner with some dimensions. The track goes from a brick face to the shot point. NINT was the institution responsible for conducting and analyzing China’s nuclear testing program. Since China signed the CTBT NINT has emerged with the primary responsibility for China’s field implementation of the technologies for the International Monitoring System IMS. An adit is a near-horizontal entrance or tunnel driven into a hillside or mountain for underground operations featuring only one opening to the surface. Adits offer a cost-effective safer alternative to vertical shafts. An adit allows workers to walk into a mine unlike vertical shafts to reach areas of interest directly. Because they are driven at a slight upward angle they allow water to drain out naturally removing the need for pumps. Adits also provide natural airflow for underground operations. Project 816 in Chongqing China is a massive decommissioned underground nuclear plant often cited as the world's largest artificial cave featuring over 20 kilometers of tunnels and 13 levels. Built in the 1960s to produce atomic bomb fuel it was designed to withstand nuclear hits with 18000 workers creating a facility that is now a tourist attraction. Key Details of Project 816:Structure: The complex contains 18 major caves over 130 tunnels and 80 roads.<br /> Design & Safety: It was built inside a mountain to resist a 1-megaton hydrogen bomb airburst and a magnitude-8 earthquake. Scale: The reactor hall is massive measuring 79.6 meters in height. Status: Construction was halted in 1984 85% complete due to shifting geopolitics. It was declassified in 2002 and opened as a tourist attraction in 2010. Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology (NINT) unknown

201267790Washington DC: The National Academies Press 2012. PResumed first edition/first printing. Trade paperback. Very good. xx 200 p. Illustrations. References. Title continues: Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board DIvision of Earth and Life Studies Board on Higher Education and Workforce Division on Policy and Global Affairs National Research Council of the National Academies. This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration and other agencies. The growing use of nuclear medicine the potential expansion of nuclear power generation and the urgent needs to protect the nation against external nuclear threats to maintain our nuclear weapons stockpile and to manage the nuclear wastes generated in past decades require a substantial highly trained and exceptionally talented workforce. Assuring a Future U.S. -Based Nuclear and Radiochemistry Expertise examines supply and demand for expertise in nuclear chemistry nuclear science and radiochemistry in the United States and presents possible approaches for ensuring adequate availability of these skills including necessary science and technology training platforms. Considering a range of reasonable scenarios looking to the future none of these areas are likely to experience a decrease in demand for expertise. However many in the current workforce are approaching retirement age and the number of students opting for careers in nuclear and radiochemistry has decreased dramatically over the past few decades. In order to avoid a gap in these critical areas increases in student interest in these careers in the research and educational capacity of universities and colleges and sector specific on-the-job training will be needed. Concise recommendations are given for actions to avoid a shortage of nuclear chemistry nuclear scientists and radiochemists in the future. From Wikipedia: "The National Research Council NRC is the working arm of the United States National Academies which produces reports that shape policies inform public opinion and advance the pursuit of science engineering and medicine. The National Academies include: National Academy of Sciences NAS National Academy of Engineering NAE Institute of Medicine IOM Unlike the other three organizations of the National Academies the National Research Council is not a membership organization. The National Research Council was organized in 1916 in response to the increased need for scientific and technical services caused by World War I. On June 1 1917 the council convened a meeting of scientific representatives of the UK and France with interested parties from the US on the subject of submarine detection. The results obtained and the problems in the work were discussed. A further meeting with the British and French was held in Paris in October 1918 at which more details of their work was disclosed. As a result of this the council recommended that US scientists be brought together to work on the problems. A New York Group worked on "supersonics" as did a San Pedro Group. A New London Group worked on binaural receivers while Chicago and Wisconsin Groups were assigned various problems in support of the other groups. Due to the success of Council-directed research in producing a sound-based method of detecting submarines as well as other military innovations the NRC was retained at the end of the war though it was gradually decoupled from the military. The Research Council is currently administered jointly by the National Academy of Sciences the National Academy of Engineering and the Institute of Medicine and its work is overseen by a Governing Board and an Executive Committee."
