Ink notation on front cover. Cover has some wear and soiling. Underlining noted at one line of text. Report Number KOA-888. Marked UNCLASSIFIED. 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

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Regulation of Federal radioactive waste activities: Report to Congress on extending the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's licensing or regulatory authority to Federal radioactive waste storage and disposal activities NUREG-5527
Washington DC: Nuclear Regulatory Commission 1979. Presumed first edition/first printing. Wraps. Good. Cover has some sunning/fading. Interior is very good. Various paginations approximately 300 pages. Illustrations. Diagrams. Maps. References. The NRC Authorization Bill for Fiscal 1979 directed the NRC to conduct a study of extending the Commisson's licensing or regulatory authority to include categories of existing and future Federal radioactive waste storage and disposal activities not presently subject to such authority. The report includes a complete listing and inventory of all radioactive waste storage and disposal activities now being conducted or planned by Federal agencies. The NRC study has attempted to present a general comparison of the relative hazards associated with defense-generated and commercial wastes. Options for extending the Commission authority were developed and analyzed. The implications of NEPA were analyzed in the context of these options. The national security implications of extending NRC's regulatory authority voer DOE programs are examined and evaluated. Costs and benefits are identified and assessed. The Commission's recommendations based on the study are to extend licensing authority over new DOE disposal activities involving transuranic wastes and non-defense low-level waste and to initiate a pilot program to test the feasibility of NRC playing a consultative role in the evaluation of existing DOE activities.

Washington DC: Commission on Maintaining United States Nuclear Weapons Expertise 1999. Wraps. Very good. Includes illustrations. Various paginations approximately 120 pages. List of Documents. The Commission on Maintaining United States Nuclear Weapons Expertise hereafter referred to as the Commission was prescribed by the National Defense Authorization Act of FY 1997. The Congress identified the need for the Commission because of the substantial changes in the environment affecting nuclear weapons design production and testing since the end of the Cold War. In view of these changes the Commission was tasked with reviewing ongoing efforts of Department of Energy DOE to attract scientific engineering and technical personnel recommending improvements and identifying actions where needed and developing a plan for recruitment and retention within the DOE nuclear weapons complex.1 We have arrived at 12 recommendations in four areas: national commitment program management personnel policies and oversight. What the Commission proposed was not a classic plan in the narrow sense but a series of recommendations to assure that critical well-qualified personnel are available to execute the Stockpile Stewardship Program SSP and to assure the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile today and in future years. The Commission was directed to "Develop a plan for recruiting and retaining within the Department of Energy DOE nuclear weapons complex such scientified engineering and technical personnel as the Commission determines appropriate in order to permit the Department to maintain over the long term a safe and reliable nuclear weapons stockpile without engaging in underground nuclear testing.

Systems Nuclear Survivability Guidebook
Washington DC: United States. Department of Defense 1999. First Edition stated. Presumed First Printing. Trade paperback. Very good. xviii 62 pages. Includes: Illustrations Diagrams. Acronyms and Abbreviations. Cover has slight wear and soiling. 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

US Army Engineer Nuclear Cratering Group U S
Isthmian Canal Studies 1964 Title from Front Cover; Annex III Appendix 1 Inclosure A Excavation with Nuclear Explosions PNE-2001
Livermore CA: U.S. Army Engineer Nuclear Cratering Group 1964. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. The format is approximately 8 inches by 10.5 inches. Various paginations approximately 120 pages. Illustrations figures tables tabular data. Ex-library copy with the usual library markings some blacked out. This is part of Plowshare--civil industrial and scientific used for nuclear explosives. The US Army Corps of Engineers Nuclear Cratering Group NCG program activities include: 1 cratering calibration of various geologic media and development of techniques designed to provide a desired crater geometry with chemical high-explosive detonations; 2 joint planning of and technical participation in AEC nuclear-excavation experiments; 3 development of data on the engineering properties of nuclear craters; 4 development of civil works nuclear construction technology; 5 accomplishment of engineering studies of nuclear construction feasibility; and 6execution of joint CE/AEC civil works nuclear-construction experiments. Four conceptual nuclear-construction applications have been identified as having a significant potential for accomplishment: 1 nuclear quarrying to produce rock fill or aggregate; 2 nuclear ejecta dam construction; 3 nuclear harbor construction; and 4 nuclear canal excavation. This inclosure described the design of the nuclear explosions required to excavate the channel for an Isthmian sea-level canal. The Columbian nuclear cue would use 262 devices with a total yield of 2709 megatons fired in 21 separate detonations. Project Plowshare was the overall United States program for the development of techniques to use nuclear explosives for peaceful construction purposes. The program was organized in June 1957 as part of the worldwide Atoms for Peace efforts. As part of the program 35 nuclear warheads were detonated in 27 separate tests. A similar program was carried out in the Soviet Union under the name Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy. Successful demonstrations of non-combat uses for nuclear explosives include rock blasting stimulation of tight gas chemical element manufacture unlocking some of the mysteries of the R-process of stellar nucleosynthesis and probing the composition of the Earth's deep crust creating reflection seismology vibroseis data which has helped geologists and follow-on mining company prospecting. The project's uncharacteristically large and atmospherically vented Sedan nuclear test also led geologists to determine that Barringer crater was formed as a result of a meteor impact and not from a volcanic eruption as had earlier been assumed. This became the first crater on Earth definitely proven to be from an impact event. Negative impacts from Project Plowshare's tests generated significant public opposition which eventually led to the program's termination in 1977. These consequences included tritiated water projected to increase by CER Geonuclear Corporation to a level of 2% of the then-maximum level for drinking water and the deposition of fallout from radioactive material being injected into the atmosphere before underground testing was mandated by treaty. 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. U.S. Army Engineer Nuclear Cratering Group paperback
