Defense Nuclear Weapons School

1999ref. 79904Albuquerque NM: Defense Threat Reduction Agency Defense Nuclear Weapons School 1999. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Folder with inserts. Good. This appears to be a packet that would be provided to an incoming student. This type of material is typically quite ephemeral frequently discarded by the students after completion of their course or courses. The folder is approximately 9 inches by 12 inches with two interior pockets into which are the following inserts. Left side has a color hardcopy vugraph with information on how to receive incoming messages a color hardcopy vugraph of the Defense Nuclear Weapons School layout highlighting the student's meeting room telephones and rest rooms and a booklet on the Defense Threat Reduction Agency DTRA 16 pages counting covers. This booklet discusses the DTRA Mission the Threat Environment and the Future. The right side has a single sheet with information on both sides on The Defense Nuclear Weapons School addressing In-Residence Courses Mobile Training MTT Courses and DTRA Sponsored training. The FY 00 Course Schedule as of 10 September 1999 is on the reverse side with key points of contact at the bottom. In addition the FY00 Course Catalogue is included. This is a ii 34 page document plus covers and includes information on registration and other logistics but the main content consists of short descriptions of key courses offered such as Nuclear Weapons Orientation Course Joint Nuclear Explosive Ordnance Disposal Joint Nuclear Operations and Targeting Course and Nuclear Weapons Effects Course. The Defense Nuclear Weapons School DNWS is housed on Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque New Mexico and is administered by the Combat Support Directorate of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency. The school teaches courses on Consequence Assessment Hazard Prediction Ordnance Disposal and other WMD-related coursework. Mission DNWS is tasked with the mission of providing nuclear weapons core competencies and chemical biological radiological nuclear and high explosive CBRNE response training to DoD other Federal and State Agencies and National Laboratory personnel. Vision The vision of the Defense Nuclear Weapons School is to be a premiere DoD military multi-Service/Joint CBRNE training facility. Training Objectives The primary objective of the Defense Nuclear Weapons School is to create develop and implement professional training through alternative and innovative training technologies ensuring the United States maintains safe reliable and credible nuclear deterrence. The DNWS provides the warfighter with topical information relating to United States nuclear core competency training radiological/nuclear response training and CBRNE/homeland defense training.

Technical Exchange on the Fabrication of MOX Fuel; March 26 1997

1997ref. 74858Washington DC: Nuclear Energy Institute 1997. Xerox-type of agenda and presentation vugraphs. Binderclipped loose pages. Fair. Unpaginated approximately 150 pages. Very scarce surviving meeting materials. Some pages of inferior copy quality but are quite readable. This meeting was held near the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and was foundational to the U.S. MOX decisions. This package of materials includes a copy of the agenda and copies of each presentation listed on the agenda. These are: Site Infrastructure & Building Feasibility Review for a MOX Fabrication Facility by Damian Peko Office of Fissile Materials Disposition U. S. Department of Energy; BNFL MOX Fabrication and Licensing Experience by Bryen Martin BNFL; Belgonucleaire MOX Fabrication and Licensing Experience by Michel Debauche Manager MOX Plant Engineering Belgonucleaire; COGEMA Inc. MOX Fabrication and Licensing Experience by Gerard Lebastard Director International Business COGEMA and Siemens Power Corp. MOX Fabrication and Licensing Experience by Carl A. Duckwitz Consultant. Marvin Fertel Vice President Suppliers International and Fuels Nuclear Energy Institute welcomed the attendees at the start and summarized the discussion at the end no vugraphs associated with his remarks. The U.S. Department of Energy DOE signed a contract with Duke COGEMA Stone & Webster DCS now called Shaw AREVA MOX Services MOX Services or the applicant to design build and operate a Mixed Oxide MOX Fuel Fabrication Facility MFFF. On February 28 2001 the applicant submitted a request to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission NRC to construct a MFFF on the DOE's Savannah River Site SRS near Aiken South Carolina. On March 30 2005 the Commission issued the construction authorization CA. Two years after the CA was issued the construction started. In 2006 MOX Services submitted a license application to possess and use byproduct and special nuclear material SNM at the MFFF. When the facility is authorized to use and possess SNM it will take surplus weapon-grade plutonium remove impurities and mix it with uranium oxide to form MOX fuel pellets for reactor fuel assemblies. These assemblies will be irradiated in commercial nuclear power reactors. Following irradiation the resulting spent fuel would contain plutonium in a form less usable for nuclear weapons.

Table of the Cascade Productivity Function

1961ref. 59628Oak Ridge TN: Union Carbide Nuclear Company 1961. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Wraps. Good. No dust jacket. vi 80 pages. Highlighting/underlining. Name of previous owner present. Ink notation on front cover. Cover has some wear and soiling. Underlining noted at one line of text. Report Number KOA-888. Marked UNCLASSIFIED. Prepared for the Atomic Energy Commission under U. S. Government Contract W7405 eng 26. There are mathematical formulae and a large number of numerical values presented. There is only a limited amount of text. K-25 was the codename given by the Manhattan Project during World War II for the project to produce enriched uranium for atomic bombs using the gaseous diffusion method. Over time it came to refer to the production facility located at the Clinton Engineer Works in Oak Ridge Tennessee the main gaseous diffusion building and ultimately the site. When it was built in 1944 the four-story K-25 gaseous diffusion plant was the world's largest building with over 1640000 square feet of floor space and a volume of 97500000 cubic feet . The highly corrosive uranium hexafluoride UF6 was the only known compound of uranium sufficiently volatile to be used in this process. Slightly enriched product from the S-50 thermal diffusion plant was fed into the K-25 gaseous diffusion plant. The enriched uranium was used in the Little Boy atomic bomb used in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. In 1946 the K-25 gaseous diffusion plant became capable of producing highly enriched product. After the war four more gaseous diffusion plants were added to the site named K-27 K-29 K-31 and K-33. The K-25 site was renamed the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant in 1955. Production of enriched uranium ended in 1964. Union Carbide Nuclear Company paperback
