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

Nuclear weapons life extension and countering nuclear threats will continue to be a central concern for the United States and the Department of Defense. The Department has identified the dual missions of sustaining a safe secure and effective nuclear deterrent and countering the threat from nuclear terrorism and nuclear proliferation as among the most important for U.S. national security priorities. Nuclear Matters serves as the focal point for these missions within the Department of Defense. "To deter nuclear war and serve as last resort weapons of self-defense. In this sense U.S. nuclear weapons are fundamental to our nation's security and have historically provided a deterrent against aggression and security assurance to U.S. allies. A robust flexible and survivable U.S. nuclear arsenal underpins the U.S. ability to deploy conventional forces worldwide; provides the Commander-in-Chief with credible response options to strengthen deterrence; and supports U.S. nonproliferation goals by extending deterrence to allies thereby dissuading them from developing their own nuclear weapons." Secretary of Defense Mattis at his confirmation hearing January 2017 This was intended to be a basic reference on the nuclear hardening of military systems. This Guidebook was not intended to be a definitive document on the effects of nuclear weapons or a "how to" guide for Project Managers but rather it provides information to staff officers who require a basic understanding of nuclear hardening as it relates to the acquisition of nuclear survivable systems. The information is this Guidebook was current as of September 1999. Nuclear weapon system survivability is concerned with the ability of U.S. nuclear deterrent forces to survive against the entire threat spectrum that includes but is not limited to nuclear weapon effects. The vast range of potential threats include: · conventional and electronic weaponry; · nuclear biological and chemical weapons; · advanced technology weapons such as high-power microwaves and radio frequency weapons; · terrorism or sabotage; and · the initial effects of a nuclear detonation. Put simply nuclear weapon effects survivability refers to the ability of any and all personnel equipment and systems including but not limited to nuclear systems to survive nuclear weapon effects. Nuclear weapon system survivability refers to nuclear weapon systems being survivable against any threat including but not limited to the nuclear threat. Nuclear hardness describes the ability of a system to withstand the effects of a nuclear detonation and to avoid internal malfunction or performance degradation. Hardness measures the ability of a system's hardware to withstand physical effects such as overpressure peak velocities energy absorbed and electrical stress. This reduction in hardware vulnerability can be achieved through a variety of well-established design specifications or through the selection of well-built and well-engineered components. This appendix does not address residual nuclear weapon effects such as fallout nor does it discuss nuclear contamination survivability. United States. Department of Defense paperback

Prepared for the Atomic Energy Commission under U. S. Government Contract W7405 eng 26. There are mathematical formulae and a large number of numerical values presented. There is only a limited amount of text. K-25 was the codename given by the Manhattan Project during World War II for the project to produce enriched uranium for atomic bombs using the gaseous diffusion method. Over time it came to refer to the production facility located at the Clinton Engineer Works in Oak Ridge Tennessee the main gaseous diffusion building and ultimately the site. When it was built in 1944 the four-story K-25 gaseous diffusion plant was the world's largest building with over 1640000 square feet of floor space and a volume of 97500000 cubic feet . The highly corrosive uranium hexafluoride UF6 was the only known compound of uranium sufficiently volatile to be used in this process. Slightly enriched product from the S-50 thermal diffusion plant was fed into the K-25 gaseous diffusion plant. The enriched uranium was used in the Little Boy atomic bomb used in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. In 1946 the K-25 gaseous diffusion plant became capable of producing highly enriched product. After the war four more gaseous diffusion plants were added to the site named K-27 K-29 K-31 and K-33. The K-25 site was renamed the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant in 1955. Production of enriched uranium ended in 1964. Union Carbide Nuclear Company paperback

Marvin Fertel Vice President Suppliers International and Fuels Nuclear Energy Institute welcomed the attendees at the start and summarized the discussion at the end no vugraphs associated with his remarks. The U.S. Department of Energy DOE signed a contract with Duke COGEMA Stone & Webster DCS now called Shaw AREVA MOX Services MOX Services or the applicant to design build and operate a Mixed Oxide MOX Fuel Fabrication Facility MFFF. On February 28 2001 the applicant submitted a request to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission NRC to construct a MFFF on the DOE's Savannah River Site SRS near Aiken South Carolina. On March 30 2005 the Commission issued the construction authorization CA. Two years after the CA was issued the construction started. In 2006 MOX Services submitted a license application to possess and use byproduct and special nuclear material SNM at the MFFF. When the facility is authorized to use and possess SNM it will take surplus weapon-grade plutonium remove impurities and mix it with uranium oxide to form MOX fuel pellets for reactor fuel assemblies. These assemblies will be irradiated in commercial nuclear power reactors. Following irradiation the resulting spent fuel would contain plutonium in a form less usable for nuclear weapons.

A Joint Interagency Working Group JIWG under the auspices of the Department of Homeland Security Office of Research and Development conducted a technology assessment of emergency radiological dose assessment capabilities as part of the overall need for rapid emergency medical response in the event of a radiological terrorist event in the United States. The goal of the evaluation is to identify gaps and recommend general research and development needs to better prepare the Country for mitigating the effects of such an event. Given the capabilities and roles for responding to a radiological event extend across many agencies a consensus of gaps and suggested development plans was a major goal of this evaluation and road-mapping effort. The working group consisted of experts representing the Departments of Homeland Security Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health Food and Drug Administration Department of Defense and the Department of Energy's National Laboratories see appendix A for participants. The specific goals of this Technology Assessment and Roadmap were to: 1 Describe the general context for deployment of emergency radiation dose assessment tools following terrorist use of a radiological or nuclear device; 2 Assess current and emerging dose assessment technologies; and 3 Put forward a consensus high-level technology roadmap for interagency research and development in this area. This report provides a summary of the consensus of needs gaps and recommendations for a research program in the area of radiation dosimetry for early response followed by a summary of the technologies available and on the near-term horizon. We then present a roadmap for a research program to bring present and emerging near-term technologies to bear on the gaps in radiation dose assessment and triage. Finally we present detailed supporting discussion on the nature of the threats we considered the status of technology today promising emerging technologies and references for further reading.

Chadwick concluded that his experiments showed that these nuclear forces are of "very great intensity". According to Pais this is THE FIRST PUBLISHED STATEMENT ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF A STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE. This 'new force' interpretation was disputed untill well into 1920s."Hey & Walters."In any event Chadwick and Bieler's final conclusion avoid all reference to a possible electromagnetic cause for the deviations from the simple theory: "The present experiments do not seem to throw any light on the nature of the law of variation of the forces at the seat of an electric charge but merely show that the forces are of very great intensity. It is our task to find some field of force which will reproduce these effects." I consider this statement made in 1921 as marking the birth of the strong interaction."Pais in "Inward Bound" p. 240. </em> unknown

The Department of Defense led the radiological cleanup of Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The combined federal effort cost about $100 million and required an on-atoll task force numbering almost 1000 people for three years 1977-1980. The departments of Defense Energy and Interior were involved in this project. The DOD organized three separate efforts in support of the cleanup: Removal and lagoon-dumping of uncontaminated debris and structures removal and crater-entombment of radiological contaminated debris and structures and excision and crater-entombment of radiological contaminated soil from the islands. This document is not listed/identified on the ENEWETAK ATOLL CLEANUP DOCUMENTS web page which is an official U.S. Government web page supported by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency. This chapter discusses Operation Sandstone Rehabilitation and Construction Activities Operation Greenhouse Operation Ivy Operation Castle Operation Redwing Operation Hardtack Moratorium and provides a Summary of Test Effects. There is a discussion of the Effects of Test Program on 26 individual islands. There is a discussion of the effect of Atoll experience on cleanup. and the final portion addresses Enewetak Interim 1958-1972 and Projects Hues Pace and Expo. An example of the information content is from pages 31 and 32: "Fallout from 16 events caused Eleleron to be ranked second of all islands of the atoll in H-1 hour exposure having accumulated 10643 R/hr. Most of the land mass receiving this exposure has been blasted or eroded away. Soil sampling showed surface activity to be relatively low and the one profile sample displayed a homogeneous distribution with depth this being considered to be the result of hydraulic influences."
