‎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.

‎The Campaign in the West 1940‎

‎West Point NY: U.S. Military Academy 1942. 1945 reprint. wraps. Fair. 2. 69 1 pages. Wraps. 7 fold-out maps at the back. Underlining and marginal markings noted. Cover especially the spine has wear soiling tears and chips. Stamped name on front and back covers. Marked "Restricted". Staple bound with some rust coloring aroung the staples at the front and rear covers. The text is marked as associated with particular maps. This account of the campaign in the West has been written for use in the instruction of cadets at the United States Military Academy. The sections related to land operations are based for the most part on Lord Gort's report and on material prepared by the Military Intelligence Service War Department. The story of the Battle of Britain is based largely on published accounts. The Battle of France also known as the Fall of France was the German invasion of France and the Low Countries during the Second World War. In six weeks from 10 May 1940 German forces defeated Allied forces by mobile operations and conquered France Belgium Luxembourg and the Netherlands bringing land operations on the Western Front to an end until 6 June 1944. Italy entered the war on 10 June 1940 and attempted an invasion of France. The German plan for the invasion consisted of two main operations. In Fall Gelb Case Yellow German armored units pushed through the Ardennes and then along the Somme valley cutting off and surrounding the Allied units that had advanced into Belgium to meet the expected German invasion. When British Belgian and French forces were pushed back to the sea by the mobile and well-organized German operation the British evacuated the British Expeditionary Force BEF and several French divisions from Dunkirk in Operation Dynamo. After the withdrawal of the BEF the German forces began Fall Rot Case Red on 5 June. The sixty remaining French divisions made a determined resistance but were unable to overcome the German air superiority and armored mobility. German tanks outflanked the Maginot Line and pushed deep into France. German forces occupied Paris unopposed on 14 June after a chaotic period of flight of the French government that led to a collapse of the French army. German commanders met with French officials on 18 June with the goal of forcing the new French government to accept an armistice that amounted to surrender. On 22 June the Second Armistice at Compi�gne was signed by France and Germany which resulted in a division of France whereby Germany would occupy the north and west Italy would control a small occupation zone in the south-east and an unoccupied zone in the south the zone libre would be governed by the officially neutral Vichy government led by Marshal Philippe P�tain. This led to the end of the French Third Republic. France was not liberated until the summer of 1944. U.S. Military Academy paperback‎

From Wikipedia: "Military engineering is loosely defined as the art and practice of designing and building military works and maintaining lines of military transport and communications. This discipline of engineering is regarded as the oldest form of engineering and is also the precursor of the civil engineering discipline. While both of these disciplines of engineering are responsible for building the same types of projects their environments differ. Military engineers construct and maintain facilities that serve military servicemen on war-fronts. Military engineers are also responsible for logistics behind military tactics. Modern military engineering requires more than civil engineering techniques. In the 21st Century military engineering also includes other engineering disciplines such as mechanical and electrical engineering techniques. According to NATO "Military Engineering is that engineer activity undertaken regardless of component or service to shape the physical operating environment. ' Military Engineering incorporates support to manoeuvre and to the force as a whole including military engineering functions such as engineer support to Force Protection Counter-Improvised Explosive Devices Environmental Protection Engineer Intelligence and Military Search. Military Engineering does not encompass the activities undertaken by those 'engineers' who maintain repair and operate vehicles vessels aircraft weapon systems and equipment." Majesty's hardcover‎

Supersedes its Technical report no. 4 and the first edition: Shore protection planning and design. Includes bibliographies and index. From WIkipedia for Coastal Management: "In some jurisdictions the terms sea defense and coastal protection are used to mean respectively defense against flooding and erosion. The term coastal defence is the more traditional term but coastal management has become more popular as the field has expanded to include techniques that allow erosion to claim land.The coastal zone is a dynamic equilibrium area of natural change and of increasing human use. They occupy less than 15% of the Earth's land surface; yet accommodate more than 40% of the world population it is estimated that 3.1 billion people live within 200 kilometres from the sea. With three-quarters of the world population expected to reside in the coastal zone by 2025 human activities originating from this small land area will impose an inordinate amount of pressures on the global system. Coastal zones contain rich resources to produce goods and services and are home to most commercial and industrial activities. In the European Union almost half of the population now lives within 50 kilometres of the sea and coastal zone resources produce much of the Union's economic wealth. The fishing shipping and tourism industries all compete for vital space along Europe's estimated 89 000 kilometres of coastline and coastal zones contain some of Europe's most fragile and valuable natural habitats. Shore protection consists up to the 50's of interposing a static structure between the sea and the land to prevent erosion and or flooding and it has a long history. From that period new technical or friendly policies have been developed to preserve the environment when possible. Is already important where there are extensive low-lying areas that require protection. For instance: Venice New Orleans Nagara river in Japan the Netherlands Caspian Sea Protection against the sea level rise in the 21st century will be especially important as sea level rise is currently accelerating. This will be a challenge to coastal management since seawalls and breakwaters are generally expensive to construct and the costs to build protection in the face of sea-level rise would be enormous. Changes on sea level have a direct adaptative response from beaches and coastal systems as we can see in the succession of a lowering sea level. When the sea level rises coastal sediments are in part pushed up by wave and tide energy so sea-level rise processes have a component of sediment transport landwards. This results in a dynamic model of rise effects with a continuous sediment displacement that is not compatible with static models where coastline change is only based on topographic data." The U.S. Army Coastal Engineering Reserach Center CERC formerly the Beach Erosion Board has since 1930 conducted studies on shore processes and methods of shore protection. It is also involved in both shore protection and offshore engineering techniques. This SHore Protection Manual SPM incorporates new material and expands the coverage within the shore protection field. Volume I describes the physical environment in the coastal zone. Volume II addresses the interaction of the physical environment and the coastal structures and presents design parameters for use in the solution of coastal engineering problems. Volume II containcs four appendixes including a glossary of coastal engineering terms a list of symbols tables and plates and a subject index.

‎Assessment of Inertial Confinement Fusion Targets‎

‎Washington DC: The National Academices Press 2013. Prepublication Copy--Subject to Further Editiorial Correction. Wraps. Very good. Cover has some wear and soiling. 4 86 p. Includes illustrations. Title continues: "Physics and Astronomy Panel on the Assessment of Inertial Confinement Fusion Targets. This prepublication copy was embargoed for release until Wednesday February 20 2013 at 11: 00 a.m. EST. 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
