An Assessment of the Prospects for Inertial Fusion Energy
Washington DC: The National Academies Press 2013. Prepublication copy--subject to further editorial correction. Wraps. Good. 8 16 56 54 24 65 pages. Footnotes. Illustrations Tables and Figures. Rear cover creased. The potential for using fusion energy to produce commercial electric power was first explored in the 1950s. Harnessing fusion energy offers the prospect of a nearly carbon-free energy source with a virtually unlimited supply of fuel. Unlike nuclear fission plants appropriately designed fusion power plants would not produce the large amounts of high-level nuclear waste that requires long-term disposal. Due to these prospects many nations have initiated research and development R&D programs aimed at developing fusion as an energy source. Two R&D approaches are being explored: magnetic fusion energy MFE and inertial fusion energy IFE. An Assessment of the Prospects for Inertial Fusion Energy describes and assesses the current status of IFE research in the United States; compares the various technical approaches to IFE; and identifies the scientific and engineering challenges associated with developing inertial confinement fusion ICF in particular as an energy source. It also provides guidance on an R&D roadmap at the conceptual level for a national program focusing on the design and construction of an inertial fusion energy demonstration plant. The committee's final report represents the consensus of the committee after six meetings see Appendix C for the meeting agendas. The first four meetings were concerned mainly with information gathering through presentations while the final two meetings focused on carrying out a detailed analysis of the many important topics needed to complete the committee's assessment. This report describes and assesses the current status of inertial fusion energy research in the United States identifies the scientific and engineering challenges<br/>associated with developing inertial confinement fusion as an energy source compares the various technical approaches and finally provides guidance on an R&D roadmap at the conceptual level for a national program aimed at the design and construction of an inertial fusion energy demonstration plant including approximate estimates where possible of the funding required at each stage. At the outset of the study the committee decided that the fusion-fission hybrid concept was outside the scope of the study. While they are certainly interesting subjects of study comparisons of inertial fusion energy to magnetic fusion energy or any other potential or available energy technologies such as wind or nuclear fission were also outside the committee's purview. Although the committee carried out its work in an unclassified environment it was recognized that some of the research relevant to the prospects for inertial fusion energy was conducted under the auspices of the nation's nuclear weapons program and has been classified. Therefore the NRC established the separate Panel on the Assessment of Inertial Confinement Fusion ICF Targets to explore the extent to which past and ongoing classified research affects the prospects for practical inertial fusion energy systems. The panel was also tasked with analyzing the nuclear proliferation risks associated with IFE; although that analysis was not available for inclusion in the interim report the committee reviewed the panel's principal conclusions and recommendations on proliferation and these are included in this final report of the committee. The target physics panel exchanged unclassified information informally with the committee in the course of the study process and the committee was aware of the panel's conclusions and recommendations as they evolved. The panel produced both a classified and an unclassified report; the latter was timed so as to be available to inform this committee's final report; the Summary of the panel's unclassified report prepublication version is included as Appendix H.

An Assessment of the Prospects for Inertial Fusion Energy
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

Assessing the Reliability of Complex Models; Mathematical and Statistical Foundations of Verification Validation and Uncertainty Quantification
Washington DC: The National Academies Press 2012. Presumed First Edition First printing. Trade paperback. Very good. xi 1 131 1 pages. Footnotes. Formulae. Figures some with color. Boxes some with color. References. In recognition of the increasing importance of computational simulation and the increasing need to assess uncertainties in computational results the National Research Council NRC was asked to study the mathematical foundations of VVUQ and to recommend steps that will ultimately lead to improved processes. The specific tasking to the Committee on Mathematical Foundations of Verification Validation and Uncertainty Quantification is as follows: • A committee of the National Research Council will examine practices for VVUQ of large-scale computational simulations in several research communities. • The committee will identify common concepts terms approaches tools and best practices of VVUQ. • The committee will identify mathematical sciences research needed to establish a foundation for building a science of verification and validation V&V and for improving the practice of VVUQ. • The committee will recommend educational changes needed in the mathematical sciences community and mathematical sciences education needed by other scientific communities to most effectively use VVUQ. Advances in computing hardware and algorithms have dramatically improved the ability to simulate complex processes computationally. Today's simulation capabilities offer the prospect of addressing questions that in the past could be addressed only by resource-intensive experimentation if at all. Assessing the Reliability of Complex Models recognizes the ubiquity of uncertainty in computational estimates of reality and the necessity for its quantification. As computational science and engineering have matured the process of quantifying or bounding uncertainties in a computational estimate of a physical quality of interest has evolved into a small set of interdependent tasks: verification validation and uncertainty of quantification VVUQ. In recognition of the increasing importance of computational simulation and the increasing need to assess uncertainties in computational results the National Research Council was asked to study the mathematical foundations of VVUQ and to recommend steps that will ultimately lead to improved processes. Assessing the Reliability of Complex Models discusses changes in education of professionals and dissemination of information that should enhance the ability of future VVUQ practitioners to improve and properly apply VVUQ methodologies to difficult problems enhance the ability of VVUQ customers to understand VVUQ results and use them to make informed decisions and enhance the ability of all VVUQ stakeholders to communicate with each other. This report is an essential resource for all decision and policy makers in the field students stakeholders UQ experts and VVUQ educators and practitioners. The National Academies Press paperback

Assessment of Inertial Confinement Fusion Targets
Washington DC: The National Academies Press 2013. Presumed First Edition First printing. Trade paperback. Very good. xiv 103 1 pages. References. Illustrations. Footnotes. Appendices. Acronyms. Pencil erasure residue on title page. Format is approximately 7 inches by 10 inches. 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

Avoiding Surprise in an Era of Global Technology Advances
Washington DC: The National Academies Press 2005. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Very good. xvi 122 pages. Illustrations Figures Tables Boxes and Charts. Acronyms. Footnotes. References. Cover has slight wear and soiling. The global spread of expertise in science and technology and commercial access to advanced technologies with possible military applications could undermine the technological superiority on which U.S. military strength is based. To address this possibility the U.S. intelligence community must provide adequate effective warnings of the evolution of critical technologies. The Technology Warning Division of the Defense Intelligence Agency asked the National Academies to undertake a study of technology warning issues. This report the first part of that study provides an assessment of critical evolving technologies; postulates ways potential adversaries could disrupt their development; and identifies warning signs that disruptive methods are under development. The intention of this report is to establish the foundation for a long-term relationship between the National Academies and the technology warning community to support ongoing studies of technology warning issues. U.S. military strength is built on a foundation of technological superiority that grew from a position of global leadership in relevant technologies and innovative capabilities. That leadership position is no longer assured. The synergistic forces of globalization and commercialization of science and technology are providing current and future adversaries with access to advanced technologies as well as the expertise needed to exploit those technologies. The Defense Intelligence Agency DIA requested that the National Research Council NRC establish the Committee on Defense Intelligence Agency Technology Forecasts and Reviews to conduct meetings with the intelligence community IC in order to develop study topics relating to technology warning. The committee was asked to produce a report based on its discussions with the intelligence community that discusses capabilities upon which U.S. warfighters are dependent and to identify the potential for adversaries to threaten those capabilities through the exploitation of evolving technologies. It is the intent of both the DIA Technology Warning Division as sponsor and the National Research Council that this report which is limited in scope will establish the foundation for a long-term collaborative relationship to support the examination of technology warning issues. It is expected that such examination will be useful not only for the DIA but also for other members of the intelligence community who might need such analyses. It is intended that the current ad hoc committee be disbanded subsequent to the publication of this report and that a standing committee be formed to work with the IC to keep abreast of issues relating to technology warning and to develop specific statements of task for independent ad hoc committees of the NRC to perform.

Effects of Nuclear Earth-Penetrator and Other Weapons
Washington DC: The National Academies Press 2005. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Very good. xii 134 pages. Illustrations some in color. Letter from the Study Director to a Department of Energy official providing copies laid in. Table of Contents includes: Front Matter; Summary; 1 Introduction; 2 Hard and Deeply Buried Targets; 3 Earth-Penetrator Weapons; 4 Effectiveness of Nuclear Weapons Against Hard and Deeply Buried Targets; 5 Fallout and Tools for Calculating Effects of Release of Hazardous Materials; 6 Human and Environmental Effects; 7 Conventional Weapons; 8 Uncertainty in Estimates of Effects; 9 Conclusions; Appendix A: Committee and Staff; Appendix B: Agendas; Appendix C: Equivalent Yield Factors for Energy Coupling; and Appendix D: Acronyms and Abbreviations. An earth-penetrating weapon EPW is the nuclear equivalent of the conventional bunker buster. The non-nuclear component of the weapon is designed to penetrate soil rock or concrete to deliver a nuclear warhead to an underground target. These weapons would be used to destroy hardened underground military bunkers or other below-ground facilities. An underground explosion releases a larger fraction of its energy into the ground compared to a surface burst or air burst explosion at or above the surface and so can destroy an underground target using a lower explosive yield. This in turn could lead to a reduced amount of radioactive fallout. However it is unlikely that the explosion would be completely contained underground. As a result significant amounts of rock and soil would be rendered radioactive and lofted as dust or vapor into the atmosphere generating significant fallout. Underground facilities are used extensively by many nations to conceal and protect strategic military functions and weapons' stockpiles. Because of their depth and hardened status however many of these strategic hard and deeply buried targets could only be put at risk by conventional or nuclear earth penetrating weapons EPW. Recently an engineering feasibility study the robust nuclear earth penetrator program was started by DOE and DOD to determine if a more effective EPW could be designed using major components of existing nuclear weapons. This activity has created some controversy about among other things the level of collateral damage that would ensue if such a weapon were used. To help clarify this issue the Congress in P.L. 107-314 directed the Secretary of Defense to request from the NRC a study of the anticipated health and environmental effects of nuclear earth-penetrators and other weapons and the effect of both conventional and nuclear weapons against the storage of biological and chemical weapons. This report provides the results of those analyses. Based on detailed numerical calculations the report presents a series of findings comparing the effectiveness and expected collateral damage of nuclear EPW and surface nuclear weapons under a variety of conditions.

Implications of Emerging Micro-and Nanotechnologies
Washington DC: The National Academies Press 2002. Presumed first edition/first printing. Trade paperback. Good. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Defect on page 33/34 with no impact on text. xxi 1 243 p. Illustrations Figures and Tables. References and Notes. Author continues: "Committee on Implications of Emerging Micro-And Nanotechnologies." Expansion of micro-technology applications and rapid advances in nano-science have generated considerable interest by the Air Force in how these developments will affect the nature of warfare and how it could exploit these trends. The report notes four principal themes emerging from the current technological trends: increased information capability miniaturization new materials and increased functionality. Recommendations about Air Force roles in micro-and nanotechnology research are presented including those areas in which the Air Force should take the lead. The report also provides a number of technical and policy findings and recommendations that are critical for effective development of the Air Force's micro-and nano-science and technology program.

The report also provides a number of technical and policy findings and recommendations that are critical for effective development of the Air Forceís micro-and nano-science and technology program. From Wikipedia: "Microtechnology is technology with features near one micrometre one millionth of a metre or 10− 6 metre or 1¼m. In the 1960s scientists learned that by arraying large numbers of microscopic transistors on a single chip microelectronic circuits could be built that dramatically improved performance functionality and reliability all while reducing cost and increasing volume. This development led to the Information Revolution. More recently scientists have learned that not only electrical devices but also mechanical devices may be miniaturized and batch-fabricated promising the same benefits to the mechanical world as integrated circuit technology has given to the electrical world. While electronics now provide the brains for today s advanced systems and products micromechanical devices can provide the sensors and actuators the eyes and ears hands and feet which interface to the outside world. Today micromechanical devices are the key components in a wide range of products such as automobile airbags ink-jet printers blood pressure monitors and projection display systems. It seems clear that in the not-too-distant future these devices will be as pervasive as electronics." From WIkipedia: "Nanotechnology sometimes shortened to "nanotech" is the manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. The earliest widespread description of nanotechnology1 2 referred to the particular technological goal of precisely manipulating atoms and molecules for fabrication of macroscale products also now referred to as molecular nanotechnology. A more generalized description of nanotechnology was subsequently established by the National Nanotechnology Initiative which defines nanotechnology as the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers. This definition reflects the fact that quantum mechanical effects are important at this quantum-realm scale and so the definition shifted from a particular technological goal to a research category inclusive of all types of research and technologies that deal with the special properties of matter that occur below the given size threshold. It is therefore common to see the plural form "nanotechnologies" as well as "nanoscale technologies" to refer to the broad range of research and applications whose common trait is size. With a variety of potential applications nanotechnologies are key for the future and governments have invested billions of dollars in their research. Through its National Nanotechnology Initiative the USA has invested 3.7 billion. The National Academies Press paperback

Integrated Computational Materials Engineering: A Transformational Discipline for Improved Competitiveness and National Security
Washington DC: The National Academies Press 2008. Presumed first edition/first printing. Trade paperback. Very good. No dust jacket as issued. xiii 137 p. Illustrations color. Integrated computational materials engineering ICME is an emerging discipline that can accelerate materials development and unify design and manufacturing. Developing ICME is a grand challenge that could provide significant economic benefit. To help develop a strategy for development of this new technology area DOE and DoD asked the NRC to explore its benefits and promises including the benefits of a comprehensive ICME capability; to establish a strategy for development and maintenance of an ICME infrastructure and to make recommendations about how best to meet these opportunities. This book provides a vision for ICME a review of case studies and lessons learned an analysis of technological barriers and an evaluation of ways to overcome cultural and organizational challenges to develop the discipline.

Scientific Opportunities with a Rare-Isotope Facility in the United States
Washington DC: The National Academies Press 2007. Presumed first edition/first printing. Trade paperback. Good. Typed letter signed by the two Co-Chairs John Ahearne and Stuart Freedman laid in. Rear cover creased. xii 140 8 p. Occasional footnotes. Illustrations some with cover. Glossary. Author continues: "Rare-Isotope Science Assessment Committee." Over ten years ago U.S. nuclear scientists proposed construction of a new rare isotope accelerator in the United States which would enable experiments to elucidate the important questions in nuclear physics. To help assess this proposal DOE and NSF asked the NRC to define the science agenda for a next-generation U.S. Facility for Rare Isotope Beams FRIB. As the study began DOE announced a substantial reduction in the scope of this facility and put off its initial operation date by several years. The study focused on an evaluation of the science that could be accomplished on a facility reduced in scope. This report provides a discussion of the key science drivers for a FRIB an assessment of existing domestic and international rare isotope beams an assessment of the current U.S. position about the FRIB and a set of findings and conclusions about the scientific and policy context for such a facility. From Wikipedia: "The Facility for Rare Isotopes Beams FRIB is a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science DOE-SC national user facility supporting the mission of the Office of Nuclear Physics. FRIB will produce large quantities of a wide variety of rare isotopes by breaking stable nuclei into rare isotopes enabling scientists to make discoveries about the properties of rare isotopes in order to better understand the physics of nuclei nuclear astrophysics fundamental interactions and applications for society. The project is funded by DOE-SC Michigan State University and the State of Michigan and is being designed and established by MSU with construction expected to begin on campus in 2013. It will adjoin and upon commencement of operations subsume the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory NSCL at Michigan State University. Currently final design of the FRIB conventional facilities the tunnel and support buildings is complete and ready for construction to begin upon approval from the U.S. Department of Energy. Pre-construction site preparation is complete and pilings for the earth-retention system have been placed. Research and development activities have been successfully completed with much of the R&D work accomplished in collaboration with national laboratories. Final design of the technical systems accelerator and experimental equipment is underway and anticipated to be complete in 2014. Project completion is expected in 2021 managing to early completion in 2019. Across the state of Michigan business and political leaders have called for continued funding of FRIB in support of scientific discovery innovation and economic impact. Articles and editorials are available on the FRIB project web site. FRIB is expected to provide research opportunities for an international community of approximately 1000 university and laboratory scientists postdoctoral associates and graduate students. FRIB will provide researchers with the technical capabilities to study the properties of rare isotopes and to put this knowledge to use in various applications including in materials science nuclear medicine and the fundamental understanding of nuclear material important to nuclear weapons stockpile stewardship. More than 20 working groups specializing in experimental equipment and scientific topics have been organized through the FRIB Users Organization. Based on the analyses and recommendations over the last decade DOE-SC determined that the establishment of a Facility for Rare Isotope Beams FRIB is a high priority for the future of U.S. nuclear science research. This determination and supporting rationale are reflected in the DOE/ National Science Foundation Nuclear Science Advisory Committee s 2007 Long Range Plan and the 2003 DOE report Facilities for the Future of Science: A Twenty-Year Outlook. DOE-SC announced the selection of Michigan State University to design and establish FRIB on December 11 2008 after a rigorous merit review. The National Academies Press paperback
