First edition of this very scarce original safety analyses reports for Portland General Electric’s pair of nuclear power plants to have been constructed at Pebble Springs in Gilliam County Oregon as part of a group with the proposed Trojan Nuclear Power plant licensed to run beginning in 1976 at 1100 Megawatts. These nuclear power plants had been proposed and begun development soon after construction began at the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant and by 1979 over $ 250 million had been spent by the State of Oregon and PGE on development costs. The two reactors would have been located 3 miles southeast of the Columbia River would have consisted of a Nuclear Steam System for each plant with a Reactor Coolant System supplied by Babcock & Wilcox square lattice reactor cores and abundant auxiliary systems. These reports include a myriad of updates carried out during the regulatory review of the project and the preliminary development work but after passage in 1980 of Ballot Measure 7 by Oregon voters no nuclear power plants could be considered for construction unless there was a Federal high-level waste repository and approval by Oregon voters.

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

"The President established by Executive Order 12499 the Blue Ribbon Task Group on Nuclear Weapons Program Management at the direction of the Congress to address fiscal accountability and discipline in the nation's nuclear weapons program. The Task Group was asked to ''examine the procedures used by DOD Department of Defense and DOE Department of Energy in establishing requirements for and providing resources for the research development testing production surveillance and retirement of nuclear weapons'' and to recommend any needed change in coordination budgeting or management procedures. The Task Group was also asked to address ''whether DOD should assume the responsibility for funding current DOE weapon activities and material production programs.'' The Task Group found that the present relationship between DOD and DOE for managing the nuclear weapons program is sound. Accordingly the Task Group sought a process for improving the integrated determination of nuclear weapon requirements and the management of nuclear weapon production."

1963ref. 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

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.

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 books
