1958rif. 76552Cape Canaveral: N.p. 1958-1973. This was the personal archive of missile installation foreman Joseph H. Lendle and the majority of it relates to Operation Hardtack I Project 9.31a. Project 9.3a was a series of U.S. nuclear tests conducted in 1958. Specifically Project 9.3a was responsible for the preparation and launch of two Redstone missiles carrying nuclear warheads for high-altitude detonations known as Shots Teak and Orange. These tests were part of Operation Newsreel a subset of Hardtack I focusing on high-altitude nuclear explosions and EMPs.The primary goal of Project 9.3a was to study the effects of nuclear detonations at high altitudes including their impact on communications electromagnetic pulse EMP generation and atmospheric phenomena. The Redstone missiles were modified to carry nuclear devices to altitudes of approximately 76.8 kilometers 47.7 miles. Each missile was also equipped with instrumented pods designed to collect data on pressures thermal and gamma radiation neutron flux and EMP effects. Both missiles were launched from the Johnston Atoll in the Pacific. Shot Teak was a failure and exploded directly over the Johnston Atoll but Shot Orange was an unqualified success. Despite Shot Teak's high-altitude detonation at 252000 feet the explosion was visible from Hawaii with observers reporting an aurora-like effect and a red shell that appeared to pass overhead. The EMP caused a temporary blackouts in Australia and Hawaii.The archive consists of includes 2 black and white snapshots of operations crew and the missile both 5 x 7” 3 certificates honoring the participation of Joseph Frank Lendle 1921-2017 lead foreman of Operation Hardtack 2 typed letters signed to Lendle both signed by Kurt H. Debus Director Missile Firing Lab a birthday card from the Launch Operations Directorate a 2 pp. press release for The Florida Times-Union 3 printed memos 5 printed letters with facsimile signatures congratulating Operation Hardtack personnel for their excellent work including one from Dr. Werner van Braun. Sheets generally toned and with staple holes at upper left corners but generally quite nice. One "Certificate of Participation" has a two inch tear and three holes at the upper blank margin where pushpins once held to to a wall. Also included is a later plaque 1975 honoring Lendle’s contribution to the NASA rocket programs listing the launches that he participated in. He participated in 129 launches including those of Redstone Juniper "C' Jupiter Redstone-Mercury Juno Saturn Apollo and Skylab. Lendle worked in the space program for nearly 28 years after his military service in WWII. N.p. unknown

First printingof this milestone paper in which the strong nuclear forces are mentioned for the first time."It was only in 1921 that Chadwick had first shown that at very small distances the interactions of alpha particles with the atomic nucleus did not follow exactly the inverse square law predicted from the repulsion of their positive electrical scharges. Chadwick concluded that his experiments showed that these nuclear forces are of "very great intensity". According to Pais this is THE FIRST PUBLISHED STATEMENT ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF A STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE. This 'new force' interpretation was disputed untill well into 1920s."Hey & Walters."In any event Chadwick and Bieler's final conclusion avoid all reference to a possible electromagnetic cause for the deviations from the simple theory: "The present experiments do not seem to throw any light on the nature of the law of variation of the forces at the seat of an electric charge but merely show that the forces are of very great intensity. It is our task to find some field of force which will reproduce these effects." I consider this statement made in 1921 as marking the birth of the strong interaction."Pais in "Inward Bound" p. 240. unknown

1970rif. 237601970. Salem Nuclear Power Plant photo archive 1970s documenting the construction and interior control infrastructure of Public Service Electric and Gas Company's nuclear generating complex at Lower Alloways Creek New Jersey on the Delaware River. Contemporary press material dated July 23 1979 describes construction proceeding on a facility planned as the largest nuclear power plant east of the Mississippi River with two generating units nearing completion and a third in the planning stages. The photographs move between the enormous physical plant required to generate nuclear power and the enclosed control environment from which technicians monitored and operated its systems recording nuclear generation as an engineered network of reactor buildings instrumentation communications equipment operators and centralized oversight. Photo archive of six silver gelatin and color photographs ranging from approximately 5 x 7 to 8 x 10 inches Lower Alloways Creek New Jersey 1970s. Black and white exterior views show the Salem complex under construction along the Delaware River with massive domed reactor containment buildings rising amid cranes scaffolding temporary structures service buildings construction equipment utility poles and extensive surrounding works. The photographs record the scale of the site from elevated viewpoints placing the containment structures within the larger industrial landscape necessary to support them. The color photographs move inside the facility to a control room dominated by long banks of panels containing gauges indicator lights switches displays annunciators telephones and other monitoring and communications equipment. Operators sit at desks and consoles facing walls of instrumentation while another view looks along a control room wall equipped with additional panels and communications devices. A close photograph records a dedicated equipment cabinet containing dual reel to reel tape mechanisms speakers meters switches and related electronic controls showing another component of the communications and recording apparatus integrated into the room. One exterior press photograph retains a typed Associated Press caption identifying the site as the "Salem nuclear plant" at Lower Alloways Creek and stating that two generating units were nearing completion while a third remained planned. The archive records two sides of nuclear power construction that were normally separated in public views of generating stations with the monumental concrete and steel structures visible from outside and the dense instrumentation through which the completed plant would be supervised from within. The July 23 1979 press text explicitly frames Salem through scale describing three planned generating units and identifying the complex as the projected largest nuclear power plant east of the Mississippi River while the photographs establish the machinery of control behind that claim. Rows of gauges warning indicators communications equipment recording apparatus and operator stations show the process by which information from a sprawling generating complex was concentrated into a room where personnel could monitor plant conditions and respond through centralized controls. The exterior photographs establish the corresponding physical system with containment buildings surrounded by construction infrastructure and subsidiary facilities along the Delaware River. Light surface and handling wear occasional edge and corner creasing minor toning and scattered marks; press caption and editorial markings remain present on one verso. Overall good condition. A focused photographic record of the Salem Nuclear Power Plant as both a major 1970s construction project and a centralized technological system linking reactor infrastructure to the instruments and personnel charged with its operation. unknown
1963rif. 239921963. A 1963 U.S. Air Force and General Dynamics study addressing one of the fundamental hazards of early nuclear spaceflight: what would happen to an orbiting nuclear reactor and its fuel during an uncontrolled return through the Earth's atmosphere. Prepared by R. W. Andrews of the Advanced Technology Laboratory General Dynamics/Astronautics for the Air Force Weapons Laboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base the report develops scaling methods for modeling the heating structural failure and dispersal of nuclear fuel elements under reentry conditions. Its November 1963 date places the work during active American development of SNAP era space nuclear systems shortly before the 1965 launch of SNAP 10A the first U.S. nuclear reactor placed in orbit when the fate of reactor fuel during unsuccessful missions had become a defined aerospace safety problem. Andrews R. W. Re Entry and Disposal Phenomena for Nuclear Auxiliary Power Systems: The Scaling of Processes of Significance in the Re Entry of Nuclear Fuel Elements. Kirtland Air Force Base New Mexico: Research and Technology Division Air Force Systems Command Air Force Weapons Laboratory 1963. Technical Documentary Report RTD TDR 63 3002. Prepared under Contract No. AF29601 5893 by the Advanced Technology Laboratory General Dynamics/Astronautics San Diego California. 39 pages. 8.5 x 11 inches. The abstract states that the study formulates model scaling laws for physical phenomena associated with "re entry and dispersal of the debris from an orbiting nuclear reactor or power source" specifically addressing tumbling and free fall aerodynamic heating thermal stresses and temperature gas desorption and expansion in homogeneous solids. Andrews develops prototype scale trajectories for spheres and tumbling rods examines aerodynamic heating under hypersonic flight and ground test conditions and considers transient heating degassing and stresses produced in homogeneous materials. The publication review leaf bears manuscript approval signatures of project and USAF personnel while the foreword acknowledges discussions with specialists associated with General Dynamics/Astronautics and the Air Force program. This copy preserves extensive institutional use evidence: an "AEROTHERM LIBRARY" stamp "RECEIVED OCT 19 1966" stamp "KEEP PUNCHED" marking accession number 021594 project and task fields adhesive classification or routing labels and manuscript report numbers and shelf annotations across the front wrapper. The report belongs to the period in which American space nuclear engineering had to address not only reactor performance in orbit but the consequences of launch failure orbital decay and uncontrolled return through the atmosphere. Reentry engineering required proving through scaled ground tests that nuclear fuel elements robust enough for launch and operation would nevertheless heat fragment melt or disperse predictably during atmospheric return. Moderate toning and handling wear to wrappers with institutional stamps labels and manuscript markings as described; interior leaves generally clean with light age toning. Overall good condition. A technical record of the effort to make the destruction and atmospheric behavior of nuclear spacecraft components calculable before nuclear power systems entered operational use in orbit. unknown
rif. A9780309260404Paperback / softback. New. The principal goals of the study were to articulate the scientific rationale and objectives of the field and then to take a long-term strategic view of U.S. nuclear science in the global context for setting future directions for the field. Nuclear Physics: Exploring the Heart of Matter provides a long-term assessment of an outlook for nuclear physics. The first phase of the report articulates the scientific rationale and objectives of the field while the second phase provides a global context for the field and its long-term priorities and proposes a framework for progress through 2020 and beyond. In the second phase of the study also developing a framework for progress through 2020 and beyond the committee carefully considered the balance between universities and government facilities in terms of research and workforce development and the role of international collaborations in leveraging future investments. Nuclear physics today is a diverse field encompassing research that spans dimensions from a tiny fraction of the volume of the individual particles neutrons and protons in the atomic nucleus to the enormous scales of astrophysical objects in the cosmos. Nuclear Physics: Exploring the Heart of Matter explains the research objectives which include the desire not only to better understand the nature of matter interacting at the nuclear level but also to describe the state of the universe that existed at the big bang. This report explains how the universe can now be studied in the most advanced colliding-beam accelerators where strong forces are the dominant interactions as well as the nature of neutrinos. paperback

In the late 1980s the National Cancer Institute initiated an investigation of cancer risks in populations near 52 commercial nuclear power plants and 10 Department of Energy nuclear facilities including research and nuclear weapons production facilities and one reprocessing plant in the United States. The results of the NCI investigation were used a primary resource for communicating with the public about the cancer risks near the nuclear facilities. However this study is now over 20 years old. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission requested that the National Academy of Sciences provide an updated assessment of cancer risks in populations near USNRC-licensed nuclear facilities that utilize or process uranium for the production of electricity. Analysis of Cancer Risks in Populations near Nuclear Facilities: Phase 1 focuses on identifying scientifically sound approaches for carrying out an assessment of cancer risks associated with living near a nuclear facility judgments about the strengths and weaknesses of various statistical power ability to assess potential confounding factors possible biases and required effort. The results from this Phase 1 study will be used to inform the design of cancer risk assessment which will be carried out in Phase 2.

rif. A9780309303057Paperback / softback. New. The Department of Energy's Office of Environmental Management's EM mission is the safe cleanup of sites associated with the government-led development of nuclear weapons and nuclear energy. While many of these legacy sites have completed cleanup the largest and most complex sites have not been fully remediated. The cleanup of these sites is proceeding under legally enforceable agreements with timelines for hundreds of milestones. EM is reviewing alternative approaches to increase effectiveness and improve cost efficiencies of its cleanup activities especially for sites that will have residual contamination when active cleanup is complete. This report is the summary of two workshops convened in October 2013 and January 2014 on best practices for risk-informed remedy selection closure and post-closure control of radioactive and chemically contaminated sites that present significant difficulty for remediation to unrestricted release. The workshop series aimed to explore best practices that promote effective risk-informed decision making and future opportunities to improve remediation approaches and practices.In the Workshop #1 section of Best Practices for Risk-Informed Decision Making Regarding Contaminated Sites the report examines holistic approaches for remediating sites with multiple contaminant sources and post-closure uses and approaches for incorporating a sustainability framework into decision making regarding site remediation closure and post-closure control. In Workshop #2 the report focuses on post-closure controls assessment of long-term performance of site remedies and best practices for risk-based remediation decisions. paperback
