Daniel Boorstin and Bruce Friedman provided additional statements for the record. The Subcommittee chairman stated that "The reason for having these particular hearings at this time is that our civilian space program finds itself at a critical crossroads for many reasons. Among them are that the well-advertised economic recovery plan may fall heavily on discretionary programs such as NASA there is a new administration in the White House with new philosophies and there is a new management team in NASA. If we don't believe there is a future we won't begin preparing for it or if we have a muddled view of the future we are likely to have muddled plans for that future. Through these hearing we hope to begin to crystallize a view of the future for our space programs." U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

United States Congress, Office of Technology Assessments
Managing the Nation's Commercial High-Level Radioactive Waste; OTA-O-171
Washington DC: United States Congress Office of Technology Assessments 1985. Presumed First Edition First printing. Trade paperback. Good. vii 1 348 pages. Footnotes. Tables. Figures. Appendix A through H including Glossary Acronyms and Abbreviations. The assessment was originally undertaken at the request of the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries and focused on the ocean disposal of nuclear waste. OTA later broadened the study to include all aspects of high-level waste disposal after expressions of interest and support by the Senate Committees on Energy and Natural Resources and on Commerce Science and Technology; by the Senate National Ocean Policy Study; and by the House Committees on Science and Technology and on Foreign Affairs. Additional requests for analysis were received from the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works and from the House Committees on Interior and Insular Affairs and on Energy and Commerce. The original analysis findings were published in OTA's 1982 summary report. As part of its analysis of NWPA OTA has identified the elements of a Mission Plan that can meet the requirements of the Act using only the authority it provides. Comparison between this ''OTA Mission Plan" and DOE's Draft Mission Plan provides a basis for identifying the major strategic decisions in the Mission Plan. Comparison also reveals several areas in which additional analysis by DOE would provide valuable information for congressional deliberations during the 30 working days that the Mission Plan lies before Congress before becoming effective. In general the OTA Mission Plan represents an expansion rather than a redirection of the approach in DOE's Draft Mission Plan. None of DOE's ongoing repository siting or development activities need or should be deferred pending development of a final Mission Plan. The major difference between the two Mission Plans lies in the measures used to provide confidence that spent fuel will be removed from reactor sites within a reasonable period despite the technical and institutional uncertainties associated with siting and licensing the first geologic repository.

Nuclear Power in Space; Hearing before the Subcommittee on Energy Research and Development of the Committee on Science Space and Technology House of Representatives One Hundred First Congress First Session September 30 1989 No. 60
Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1989. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. iii 1 183 5 pages. Illustrations. Appendix. Ink notation and pencil erasure residue on front page. Mail label mark on back page. The hearing addressed: Usefulness of space power research to ground-based nuclear reactor systems --Personnel development and educational needs of the universities as they relate to the development of space nuclear power systems --Nuclear power plants for space vehicles developed --and Role of the universities in supporting the space nuclear power technology development. Witnesses from the Air Force National Aeronautics and Space Administration the Department of Energy the General Accounting Office Westinghouse Hanford Battelle Pacific Northwest Laboratory and the Los Alamos National Laboratory testified. Nuclear power in space is the use of nuclear power in outer space typically either small fission systems or radioactive decay for electricity or heat. One common type is a radioisotope thermoelectric generator which has been used on many space probes and on manned lunar missions and another is small fission reactors for Earth observation satellites such as the TOPAZ nuclear reactor. A radioisotope heater unit provides heat from radioactive decay of a material and can potentially produce heat for decades. R The United States tested a nuclear reactor in space for 43 days in 1965. While not yet tested in space the test of the Demonstration Using Flattop Fission DUFF on September 13 2012 was the first test of a nuclear reactor power system for space since then. Examples of nuclear power for space propulsion systems include nuclear electric rocket radioisotope rocket and radioisotope electric propulsion. One of the more explored is the nuclear thermal rocket which was tested in the NERVA program. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

Nuclear Safeguards and the International Atomic Energy Agency Report
Washington DC: United States Congress Office of Technology Assessment 1995. Presumed first edition/first printing. Wraps. Good. No dust jacket as issued. Ex-library. Usual library markings. Cover has some wear and soiling. Cover has modest curving/warping. ix 1. 147p. 28 cm. Illustrations. Abbreviations and Glossary. Index The limitation of the International Atomic Energy Agency's system of nuclear safeguards was demonstrated after the end of the Persian Gulf War when evidence was developed that Iran had mounted an extensive cover nuclear weapons program in addition to and partly in proximity to its open nuclear research activities that were under IAEA safeguards. Shortly after this international investigations showed that the North Koreans were concealing data about the extent of their nuclear material production. This report analyzed what IAEA safeguards could and could not be expected to accomplish it identified areas where the safeguards regime could perhaps be broadened or improved and it presented options for such actions. This report was the sixth publication from this now defunct Congressional organization on its assessments of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. This report was done at the request of the Senate Foreign Relateions and Governmental Affairs committees and endorsed by several other committees.

Proliferation and the Former Soviet Union; OTA-ISC-605
Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1994. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Very good. x 92 2 pages. Footnotes. Maps. Illustrations. Tables. Boxes. Index. Cover has slight wear and soiling. The report examines the whole range of consequences for proliferation of weapons of mass destruction of the Soviet Union's breakup and describes how U.S. assistance may reduce specific proliferation risks in the former Soviet Union. This report the fifth publication from OTA'S assessment on the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction examines the whole range of consequences for proliferation of the Soviet Union's breakup. One effect may be the erosion of international nonproliferation treaty regimes. In spite of the continuing desire of most of the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union to support nonproliferation goals these states face internal challenges: social and economic disruption are rampant and the degree of central governmental control over activities nominally within their jurisdictions is often questionable. Of particular concern are economic hardship and low morale among many individuals with access to vital weapon information or sensitive facilities--a situation aggravated by inadequate national systems to account for and secure nuclear materials to control exports and to police borders. The Office of Technology Assessment OTA was an office of the United States Congress from 1972 to 1995. OTA's purpose was to provide Congressional members and committees with objective and authoritative analysis of the complex scientific and technical issues of the late 20th century i.e. technology assessment. It was a leader in practicing and encouraging delivery of public services in innovative and inexpensive ways including early involvement in the distribution of government documents through electronic publishing. Its model was widely copied around the world. Princeton University hosts The OTA Legacy site which holds "the complete collection of OTA publications along with additional materials that illuminate the history and impact of the agency". On July 23 2008 the Federation of American Scientists launched a similar archive that includes interviews and additional documents about OTA. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

United States, Congress, Office of Technology Assessment
Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction; Assessing the Risks OTA-ISC-559
Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1993. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Very good. vii 1 123 1 pages. Illustrations. Footnotes. Index. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Since the end of the Cold War the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction has become much more prominent in U.S. national security and foreign policy planning. Revelations about Iraqi North Korean South African and Israeli nuclear weapon programs the possibility of a nuclear arms race in South Asia and the multidimensional conflicts in the Middle East all point to the immediacy of this problem. At least three main factors underlie this renewed emphasis on proliferation. First the reduced military threat from the former Soviet Union has increased the relative importance of lesser powers especially if armed with weapons of mass destruction. Second certain international political and technological trends are increasing the threat to international security from proliferation. Third new opportunities are opening for enhancing the current international regimes designed to stem proliferation. Since at least as far back as the 1960s the United States has recognized that proliferation is a global problem and combating it requires high levels of international cooperation. This country has also exerted unilateral influence to discourage proliferation. Nevertheless placing priority on nonproliferation will require the further development and enforcement of international norms and behavior supporting that objective. The Office of Technology Assessment OTA was an office of the United States Congress from 1972 to 1995.

Technologies Underlying Weapons of Mass Destruction; Background Paper OTA-BP-ISC-115
Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1993. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. viii 263 1 pages. Illustrations. Index. Cover has some wear and soiling. The Office of Technology Assessment produced some of the best writing on security-related technical issues. The authors summarize the principal technologies of chemical biological and nuclear weapons production. Purists will observe that chemical weapons are not really weapons of mass destruction but in this context that is a quibble. The report examines the variety of pathways states may pursue to acquire these weapons. Even more important it explains in mercifully clear language the variety of indicators that intelligence or inspection agencies may track to detect the production of such weapons. The discussion of the indicators or traces of proliferation efforts is good in itself but the authors go further by discussing the ways in which proliferators can conceal evidence or mislead would-be snoopers. In short an indispensable work. The Office of Technology Assessment OTA was an office of the United States Congress from 1972 to 1995. OTA's purpose was to provide Congressional members and committees with objective and authoritative analysis of the complex scientific and technical issues of the late 20th century i.e. technology assessment.

OTA press release laid in. vii 405 p. 26 cm. Illustrations. Footnotes. "November 1981"--rear cover. "OTA-ISC-153"--rear cover. From Wikipedia: "The Office of Technology Assessment OTA was an office of the United States Congress from 1972 to 1995. OTA's purpose was to provide Congressional members and committees with objective and authoritative analysis of the complex scientific and technical issues of the late 20th century i.e. technology assessment. It was a leader in practicing and encouraging delivery of public services in innovative and inexpensive ways including distribution of government documents through electronic publishing. Its model was widely copied around the world. Princeton University hosts The OTA Legacy site "the complete collection of OTA publications along with additional materials that illuminate the history and impact of the agency." On July 23 2008 the Federation of American Scientists launched a similar archive that includes interviews and additional documents about OTA. Congress created the Office of Technology Assessment in 1972 Public Law 92-484. It was governed by a twelve-member board comprising six members of Congress from each party half from the Senate and half from the House of Representatives. During its twenty-four-year life it produced about 750 studies on a wide range of topics including acid rain health care global climate change and polygraphs. The front and back of a tee shirt created and worn by some staff of the OTA to express their sentiments about the intent of the 104th Congress to terminate their service while simultaneously increasing the Library of Congress' budget by an amount equal to nearly twice that of OTA's. Compare to the official seal above and note the arm of Congress strangling the symbolic U.S.A. in the satirical version. Criticism of the agency was fueled by Fat City a 1980 book by Donald Lambro that was regarded favorably by the Reagan administration; it called OTA an "unnecessary agency" that duplicated government work done elsewhere. OTA was abolished technically "de-funded" in the "Contract with America" period of Newt Gingrich's Republican ascendancy in Congress. When the 104th Congress withdrew funding for OTA it had a full-time staff of 143 people and an annual budget of $21.9 million. The Office of Technology Assessment closed on September 29 1995. The move was criticized at the time including by Republican representative Amo Houghton who commented at the time of OTA s defunding that "we are cutting off one of the most important arms of Congress when we cut off unbiased knowledge about science and technology." Critics of the closure saw it as an example of politics overriding science and a variety of scientists such as biologist PZ Myers have called for the agency's reinstatement. While the OTA was closed down the very idea of technology assessment survived in particular in Europe. The European Parliamentary Technology Assessment EPTA network coordinates members of technology assessment units working for various European parliaments. The US Government Accountability Office has meanwhile established a TA unit taking on former duties of the OTA. While campaigning Hillary Clinton pledged to work to restore the OTA if elected President. On April 29 2009 House of Representatives member Rush Holt of New Jersey wrote an Op-Ed articulating the argument for restoring the OTA. In April 2010 The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars released a report entitled "Reinventing Technology Assessment" that emphasized citizen engagement and called for performing the functions of the OTA by creating a nationwide network of non-partisan policy research organizations universities and science museums: the Expert & Citizen Assessment of Science & Technology ECAST network. ECAST would conduct both expert and participatory technology assessments for Congress and other clients. The author of the report was Dr. Richard Sclove of the Loka Institute. The report states that the drive to modernize OTA was initiated by. Congress of the U.S., Office of Technology Assessment: For sale by the.. paperback

Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1994. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. viii 51 1 pages. Illustrations. Footnotes. References and Bibliography. Glossary of Acronyms. Front cover has wear soiling and a scuff. Virtual reality VR is the popular name for an absorbing interactive computer-mediated experience in which a person or persons perceives and interacts through sensors and effecters with a synthetic i.e. simulated environment and with simulated objects in it as if it were real. The experience is characterized by inattention to the artificiality of the experience. The experience is provided by sensory stimuli generated by special human-computer interface HCI systems in response to the user's movements or speech which are detected by other interface systems and interpreted by computer. HCI systems have become the visible symbols of VR. The most distinctive system is the head-mounted display HMD which monitors the position and orientation of the wearer's head and displays a view and might generate sounds of an artificial world from that perspective. Another distinctive system is the glove-input device which monitors the position and orientation of the wearer's hand and the flexure of each joint so that the display can show the wearer's hand and the computer can interpret hand gestures as commands or sense whether the wearer is attempting to push a button or flip a switch on a control panel that the wearer sees in a display. An advantage of these HCI devices is their versatility. In principle a simulator equipped with an HMD and a glove-input device could serve in successive sessions as a fighter cockpit simulator a ship's bridge simulator and a tank turret simulator-if appropriate software and databases were available.
