Uranium Life-Cycle Primer
Washington DC: United States Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration 2009. Presumed First Edition First printing. Spiral bound. Very good. iv 30 pages. Illustrations some in color. Maps. Footnote. Includes a section on Nuclear Fuel Cycle Terms. The National Nuclear Security Administration NNSA maintains and enhances the safety security and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile without nuclear explosive testing; works to reduce the global danger from weapons of mass destruction; provides the U.S. Navy with safe and effective nuclear propulsion; and responds to nuclear and radiological emergencies in the U.S. and abroad. Established by the United States Congress in 2000 NNSA is a semi-autonomous agency within the United States Department of Energy. The National Nuclear Security Administration was created by Congressional action in 1999 in the wake of the Wen Ho Lee spy scandal and other allegations that lax administration by the Department of Energy had resulted in the loss of U.S. nuclear secrets to China. Originally proposed to be an independent agency NNSA gained the reluctant support of the Clinton administration only after it was instead chartered as a sub-agency within the Department of Energy to be headed by an administrator reporting to the Secretary of Energy. The purpose of this uranium life-cycle primer is to provide a detailed explanation of all facets of uranium processing handling and use 'from cradle to grave'. Both commercial and defense used of uranium are encompassed in this primer. The U.S. uranium life-cycle infrastructure was initiated with the Manhattan project in 1942. The most common isotopes in natural uranium are uranium-238 which accounts for over 99% and uranium-235. Uranium has the highest atomic weight of the primordially occurring elements. Its density is about 70% higher than that of lead and slightly lower than that of gold or tungsten. It occurs naturally in low concentrations of a few parts per million in soil rock and water and is commercially extracted from uranium-bearing minerals such as uraninite. In nature uranium is found as uranium-238 99.2739-99.2752% uranium-235 0.7198-0.7202% and a very small amount of uranium-234 0.0050-0.0059%. Many contemporary uses of uranium exploit its unique nuclear properties. Uranium-235 is the only naturally occurring fissile isotope which makes it widely used in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons. However because of the tiny amounts found in nature uranium needs to undergo enrichment so that enough uranium-235 is present. Uranium-238 is fissionable by fast neutrons and is fertile meaning it can be transmuted to fissile plutonium-239 in a nuclear reactor.

An environmental impact statement EIS under United States environmental law is a document required by the National Environmental Policy Act NEPA for certain actions "significantly affecting the quality of the human environment". An EIS is a tool for decision making. It describes the positive and negative environmental effects of a proposed action and it usually also lists one or more alternative actions that may be chosen instead of the action described in the EIS. Several U.S. state governments require that a document similar to an EIS be submitted to the state for certain actions. For example in California an Environmental Impact Report EIR must be submitted to the state for certain actions as described in the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA.

CFR Title 11 Federal Elections Proposed Standards for the Hardware Elements of Punchcard and Marksense Voting Systems; Subchapter X - Voting System Standards Part 10001- General Rules and Regulations
Washington DC: U.S. Federal Election Commission National Clearinghouse on Election Administration 1985. Xerox copy of draft document. Wraps Stapled in the Upper Right Corner. Good. 3 38 pages. This is printed and paginated single-sided. This has Subpart A -Scope and Definitions and Subpart B - Equipment Authorization Procedures. Within Subpart B there are General Provisions Application Procedures and Conditions Attendant to a Grant of Authorization. An independent regulatory agency created in 1975 to administer and enforce the Federal Election Campaign Act the FEC spent three-years developing and revising Voting System Standards VSS to ensure the reliability of certified election equipment used in local state and federal elections. The standards cover the functionality and testing of paper-based i.e. punchcards and electronic i.e. touch screens or keyboards systems as well as performance features such as vote tallying and audit trails. The primary goal of VSS is to provide a mechanism for state and local election officials to assure the public of the integrity of computer-based election systems and to provide a common set of requirements across all voting technologies. "The main focus of the Federal Election Commission's FEC project to develop standards for election equipment is to ensure that the U.S. voting process accurately reflects the wishes of the American people" explained Penelope Bonsall director of the FEC Office of Election Administration. According to the FEC the drafts generated significant interest from a variety of interests whose views are reflected in the final version. There is a wide range of possible voting systems in the world today some of which are currently in use while others are strictly theoretical. These various systems can be broken down into three "families": plurality semi-proportional and proportional systems. The voting systems within a particular "family" tend to produce similar outcomes and tend to resemble each other in terms of their advantages and disadvantages. The main differences are therefore between the families not within them. U.S. Federal Election Commission, National Clearinghouse on Election Administration paperback
