Washington DC: National Academies Press 1997. Presumed first edition/first printing. Trade paperback. Good. Corners of several pages creased. Cover has some wear and soiling. xii 112 p. Acronyms. Illustrations. Tables. Figures. Diagrams. References author listing continues: "on Aging of U.S. Air Force Aircraft". Publicaiton NMAB-488-2. Many of the aircrafts that form the backbone of the US Air Force operational fleet are 25 years old or older. A few of these will be replaced with new aircrafts but many are expected to remain in service an additional 25 years or more. This book provides a strategy to address the technical needs and priorities associated with the Air Force's aging airframe structures. It includes a detailed summary of the structural status of the aging force identification of key technical issues recommendations for near-term engineering and management actions and prioritized near-term and long-term research recommendations.

Washington DC: The National Academices Press 2013. Prepublication Copy--Subject to Further Editiorial Correction. Wraps. Very good. Cover has some wear and soiling. Various paginations approximately 225 pages. Includes illustrations. Bbliography of previous ICF studies consulted. Glossary. Title continues: "Physics and Astronomy. Committee on the Prospects for Inertial Confinement Fusion Energy Systems." From a National Academies internet posting: "The energy produced by nuclear fusion has the potential to provide a low-carbon base-load source of electricity; however significant scientific and engineering efforts are still required before the feasibility of a commercial fusion plant can be established. Initiating fusion based upon magnetic confinement and inertial confinement of the fusion plasma have been studied for decades. In inertial confinement fusion ICF a driver delivers energy to the surface of a pellet of fuel heating and compressing it. There are many approaches for initiation fusion using inertial confinement. For example different driver concepts have very different operating conditions and characteristics. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each approach is central to the effort to develop IFE as a power source. Given the current level of activity in ICF research now is an appropriate time to consider how to proceed regarding inertial fusion as a potential power source. An NRC committee and panel will be formed to provide findings and recommendations to advise DOE on the development of an R&D roadmap for inertial fusion energy. All the approaches to ICF will require much investigation and will need to be considered in any long-term R&D strategy." The National Academices Press paperback

In the fall of 2010 the Office of the U.S. Department of Energy's DOE's Secretary for Science asked for a National Research Council NRC committee to investigate the prospects for generating power using inertial confinement fusion ICF concepts acknowledging that a key test of viability for this concept-ignition -could be demonstrated at the National Ignition Facility NIF at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the relatively near term. The committee was asked to provide an unclassified report. However DOE indicated that to fully assess this topic the committee's deliberations would have to be informed by the results of some classified experiments and information particularly in the area of ICF targets and nonproliferation. Thus the Panel on the Assessment of Inertial Confinement Fusion Targets was assembled composed of experts able to access the information. The panel was charged with advising the Committee on the Prospects for Inertial Confinement Fusion Energy Systems on these issues both by internal discussion and by this unclassified report. A Panel on Fusion Target Physics "the panel" will serve as a technical resource to the Committee on Inertial Confinement Energy Systems "the Committee" and will prepare a report that describes the R&D challenges to providing suitable targets on the basis of parameters established and provided to the Panel by the Committee. The Panel on Fusion Target Physics will prepare a report that will assess the current performance of fusion targets associated with various ICF concepts in order to understand: 1. The spectrum output; 2. The illumination geometry; 3. The high-gain geometry; and 4. The robustness of the target design. The panel addressed the potential impacts of the use and development of current concepts for Inertial Fusion Energy on the proliferation of nuclear weapons information and technology as appropriate. The Panel examined technology options but did not provide recommendations. The National Academies Press paperback
