Illustrated front cover. Some red ink marks noted. Figures. Tables. References. This is one of the National Academies Compass Series. Astronauts who venture beyond the protection of Earth's atmosphere and magnetosphere risk exposure to levels of radiation far exceeding those on Earth. Of all the risks this one is probably the most straightforward to control—by providing adequate shielding. However because shielding adds weight cost and complexity to space vehicles it is very important for designers to have a good quantitative understanding of the risk and its degree of certainty. This report assesses our understanding of radiation hazards in space. It also considers the additional research needed to reduce the areas of uncertainty research that must be completed prior to undertaking the detailed design of a vehicle carrying crew members into space for periods of extended exposure. The report finds that it will take more than a decade of research to answer even the narrowest set of key questions. The nation has backed away from a specific timetable for human exploration of the moon and Mars. Yet it seems plausible that such expeditions will be mounted sometime in the first quarter of the 21st century especially given the recent resurgence of interest in possible life on Mars from the study of meteorites. It becomes clear when the lengthy time scale of the research is also taken into account that the present report is indeed timely and should receive prompt consideration by NASA planners. NASA's long-range plans include possible human exploratory missions to the moon and Mars within the next quarter century. Such missions beyond low Earth orbit will expose crews to transient radiation from solar particle events as well as continuous high-energy galactic cosmic rays ranging from energetic protons with low mean linear energy transfer LET to nuclei with high atomic numbers high energies and high LET. Because the radiation levels in space are high and the missions long adequate shielding is needed to minimize the deleterious health effects of exposure to radiation. The knowledge base needed to design shielding involves two sets of factors each with quantitative uncertainty—the radiation spectra and doses present behind different types of shielding and the effects of the doses on relevant biological systems. It is only prudent to design shielding that will protect the crew of spacecraft exposed to predicted high but uncertain levels of radiation and biological effects. Because of the uncertainties regarding the degree and type of radiation protection needed a requirement for shielding to protect against large deleterious but uncertain biological effects may be imposed which in turn could result in an unacceptable cost to a mission. It therefore is of interest to reduce these uncertainties in biological effects and shielding requirements for reasons of mission feasibility safety and cost. National Academy Press paperback

Professor Martin Greenwald was the Chair of the Fusion Energy Science Advisory Committee. This is the panel report of High Energy Density Laboratory Plasmas HEDLP prepared in response to a request from the Department of Energy of March 6 2008. THe panel identified compelling research opportunities in fundamental HEDLP science and identified the scientific issues of implosion physics and target design that need to be addressed to make the case for inertial fusion energy. The panel also provided essential information for an effective stewardship of the Joint HEDLP Program and background for a scientific plan for energy-related HEDLP studies. The Fusion Energy Science Advistory Committee voted unaminously to endorse this comprehensive report. U, S. Department of Energy paperback
