‎Ice on the Equator: Quaternary Geology of Mount Kenya East Africa‎

‎Sister Bay Wisconsin U.S.A.: William Caxton Ltd 1990. Apparent First. Hard Cover. Very Good /No Jacket. 386 pages incl. bibliograpgy; VG has p o name and Ex Libris written inside front cover otherwise unmarked very nice solid copy in light green cloth-covered boards trace of reading/handling wear. From the author's foreword: "This book is based on fifteen years of environmental research on Mount Kenya one of the principal high mountains of East Africa. The Mount Kenya Quaternary History Project started when I began to gather published and unpublished information on all the East African mountains and developed what turned out to be a lengthy correspondence and collaboration with other East African specialists. I selected Mount Kenya for a detailed glacial geological/environmental survey because it is one of the highest mountains in East Africa with an extensive .Afroalpine zone and a lengthy geologic history spanning the whole of the Quaternary Period. What I originally intended to be a three to five year project slowly lengthened to a decade and now shows no sign of terminating. The Mount Kenya Quaternary History Project which I have directed since 1970 is fortunate to have numerous collaborators in different parts of the world many of whom have never seen the mountain. Yet these associates continue to produce new and exciting information in many different disciplines." This book surveys a long glacial and periglacial sequence on Mount Kenya its geological and environmental settings sequences of paleosols and their significance in understanding the multiplicity of glaciations. In addition it provides a discussion of relative and absolute age-dating methods used to refine the stratigraphy and interpret the paleoclimate under which deposits evolved over the last two million years. At this time new information on Mount Kenya becomes available almost daily as samples are processed in laboratories in Africa Europe and North America and as as old data are viewed in novel ways within the light of this knowledge. The next decade will see the development of a refined time- stratigraphy for Mount Kenya that will provide even more precise information on the sequence and timing of geologic events that continue to shape one of the most imposing and beautiful places on earth. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. <br/><br/> William Caxton Ltd hardcover‎

‎Geology at the Nevada Test Site; Official Use Only‎

‎Las Vegas: Bechtel Nevada Geothechnical Sciences Group 2004. Version 1.0. CD in a plastic box. Very good. This CD is not meant to be a rigorous discussion of geologic methods a lengthy discussion of the role of geology in the containment of nuclear explosions or an in-depth treatise on the geology of the NTS. However through the use of the information presented in conjunction with the materials cited a geologist should find sufficient information to enable interaction with the other disciplines involved to support the successful execution of an underground nuclear test. GEOLOGY: THE PRACTICE PHYSICAL GEOLOGY OF THE TEST AREAS The ultimate goal of any nuclear test is to obtain desired data safely with no release of radiation to the atmosphere. This section describes what geologists do to help assure that these goals are met. Geologists provide essential input to the safe conduct of underground nuclear explosions in support of site selection test-bed construction and in furthering the understanding of the role of geology in successful containment. GEOLOGY AND CONTAINMENT This section presents a summary of the history of nuclear testing with emphasis on events that led to the advent of underground testing a description of the phenomenology of an underground nuclear explosion and a discussion of containment evaluation. These subjects are presented to describe how the testing community came to realize that it was necessary to understand the geologic setting of each underground test location and are not meant to be a primer on containment. This Compact Disc CD has been designed to familiarize the user with the arts and sciences of Geology as performed at the Nevada Test Site NTS and to provide an overview of the physical geology found at the historic nuclear testing areas. This was prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration Nevada Site Office. It is understood that the contents no longer meet the criteria for Official Use Only. As part of its efforts to demonstrate transparency about its work in late November 2023 the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration NNSA welcomed 13 non-governmental experts on arms control and nonproliferation to its Nevada facilities including parts of the Nevada National Security Site NNSS outside Las Vegas. NNSS hosts a variety of nonproliferation projects in large part focused on the ability to detect low-yield nuclear explosions around the world. The visitors saw P Tunnel the site of an October 2023 nonproliferation experiment using chemical non-nuclear explosives and radiotracers as well as other sites supporting nonproliferation efforts. The group visited the Principal Underground Laboratory for Subcritical Experimentation PULSE formerly called the U1a Complex. PULSE is where U.S. subcritical experiments are conducted. The visitors also saw locations involved with the Stockpile Stewardship Program which the United States started in 1992 when it ended nuclear explosive testing. Due to the program's success in Nevada and at NNSA's national laboratories the United States has no identified technical need to conduct additional nuclear explosive tests and no plans to do so. Instead of nuclear explosive testing the program relies on specialized facilities supercomputers subcritical experiments and technical experts to ensure the safety security reliability and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear stockpile. During an NNSA-led visit of non-governmental experts on arms control and nonproliferation to the Nevada National Security Site they stopped by the Big Explosives Experimental Facility. The NGO group also visited the Icecap site at NNSS. Icecap was constructed for a nuclear explosive test set for 1993 but never carried out after the U.S. testing moratorium. The United States hasn't tested since 1992 and has no plans to do so. Before visiting the site NNSA hosted discussions related to NNSA operations specifically Stockpile Stewardship and nonproliferation projects along with U.S. support for the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization CTBTO PrepCom. The United States has a long history of transparency as the NNSA Administrator highlighted in her June 2023 keynote remarks at the CTBT Science and Technology 2023 Conference. At NNSS the experts were immersed in the history of U.S. nuclear explosive testing and shown sites where atmospheric and underground nuclear explosions took place. They also visited the Principal Underground Laboratory for Subcritical Experimentation PULSE formerly known as the U1a Complex site of U.S. subcritical experiments a key effort to maintain the safety security and effectiveness of the stockpile without nuclear explosive testing. Some also visited the Atomic Museum in Las Vegas which preserves and fosters public accessibility to the history associated with the former Nevada Test Site and the nation's nuclear weapons program. The transparency visit included representatives from the Arms Control Association Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation Center for Strategic & International Studies Federation of American Scientists Harvard Kennedy School Middlebury Institute of International Studies National Academy of Sciences Nuclear Threat Initiative Open Nuclear Network and Ploughshares Fund. It followed a similar April 2023 transparency visit to NNSS by CTBTO PrepCom Executive Secretary Dr. Robert Floyd. Bechtel Nevada Geothechnical Sciences Group unknown‎

‎Status of the Dosimetry for the Radiation Effects Research Foundation DS86‎

‎Washington DC: National Academy Press 2001. Presumed First Edition First printing. Hardcover. Very good. xii 198 2 pages. Illustrations Tables Figures some with color. Formulae. Appendixes. Glossary. References. Biosketches. The Committee on Dosimetry for the Radiation Effects Research Foundation RERF was set up more than a decade before this publication at the request of the U.S. Department of Energy. It was charged with monitoring work and experimental results related to the Dosimetry System 1986 DS86 used by RERF to reconstruct the radiation doses to the survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. At the time it was established DS86 was believed to be the best available dosimetric system for RERF but questions have persisted about some features especially the estimates of neutrons resulting from the Hiroshima bomb. This book describes the current situation the gamma-ray dosimetry and such dosimetry issues as thermal-neutron discrepancies between measurement and calculation at various distances in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It recommends approaches to bring those issues to closure and sets the stage for the recently convened U.S. and Japan Working Groups that will develop a new dosimetry for RERF. The book outlines the changes relating to DS86 in the past 15 years such as improved numbers that go into and are part of more sophisticated calculations for determining the radiations from bombs that reach certain distances in air and encourages incorporation of the changes into a revised dosimetry system. The Radiation Effects Research Foundation RERF is a joint U.S.-Japan research organization responsible for studying the medical effects of radiation and associated diseases in humans for the welfare of the survivors and all humankind. The organization is located in Hiroshima Japan. The studies have been going on for 70 years which makes RERF the only institution that has been conducting epidemiological studies on a population of more than 120000 individuals for this long. RERF continues to conduct research until this day because the effects of A-bomb radiation on human health have not been fully elucidated. RERF conducts research in multiple fields of science including epidemiology clinical medicine genetics and immunology. Findings from RERF's studies have been used not only for the medical care and welfare of the A-bomb survivors but also for the establishment of international radiation protection standards. The preceding organization to RERF was the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission which was established in 1948 by the U.S National Academy of Sciences. It was established to determine how over long-term exposure to radiation affected the health of A-bomb survivors. An extensive interview survey was conducted in the 1950s based on which records were compiled for each A-bomb survivor. These records concerned location and structure of the building the survivor may have been at the time of the bombing. Based on these records radiation doses were calculated for most A-bomb survivors. RERF was established on April 1 1975 as a nonprofit foundation under the jurisdiction of the Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Health and Welfare. On April 1 2012 RERF transitioned to a public interest incorporated foundation upon authorization by Japan's Prime Minister. National Academy Press hardcover‎

OPERATION BUSHMASTER is a field training exercise FTX conducted at Fort Indiatown Gap Pennsylvania. During this exercise senior USU medical students Graduate Nursing students and international military medical officers are formally evaluated on their medical knowledge and leadership abilities in a simulated resource constrained far forward tactical field setting. Students assume leadership positions in a joint battalion aid station where they are presented with operationally current reality based missions and operational problems for which they must plan and execute while simultaneously managing the medical care of simulated Disease and Non-Battle Injury DNBI patients combat stress casualties and combat trauma casualties. Before "Operation Bushmaster" students go through a two-week military contingency medicine course during which they are presented operational problems and receive pre-deployment training just as they would prior to a real deployment. This classroom phase includes lectures and is focused on team building. The students become a cohesive unit as they prepare to deploy to a fictional country facing challenges from rebel forces. Divided into two groups the students were sent sequentially to spend four days at this large National Guard base nestled in the mountains just north of Hershey Pennsylvania. They were assigned to one of four platoons - all undergoing identical scenarios planning and executing missions while simultaneously caring for a variety of casualties ranging in severity from fatigue to gunshot wounds. The exercise featured nearly 1000 encounters with simulated patients. While patient care is a large part of their training leadership communication skills and logistics are just as important. Students were assigned various roles during the exercise such as patient administrator triage officer medical logistics or litter bearers transporting patients. They frequently rotated positions allowing every student to practice each role. The students also were graded on how well they performed key positions including platoon leader ambulance team leader surgeon and combat stress control officer. They were graded on a number of factors such as communication and leadership skills as they were observed by more than 60 faculty members from Uniformed Services University as well as from across the country.
