Recommendations include building an effective global nuclear security system becoming parties to relevant nuclear security treaties strengthening voluntary mechanisms securing military and other non-civilian materials to the same or higher standards as civilian materials and improving individual state stewardship of nuclear materials. Foreword by Sam Nunn NTI Co-Chairman Executive Summary Recommendations Maps and Results Tables. . The second edition of the NTI Index assesses progress that states have made in improving nuclear materials security conditions. As a result there are a number of changes to the NTI Index framework for the 2014 edition including adding new indicators and sub indicators in several categories. All states--even those without weapons-usable nuclear materials-must be alert to and must guard against the possibility that their territories could b used as a safe haven staging ground or transit point for terrorist operations. Remaining Challenges include the lack of an effective global system for securing weapons-usable nuclear materials; and the lack of global standards information sharing or accountability mechanisms in nuclear security. NTI produces a biennial "Nuclear Security Index" in partnership with the Economist Intelligence Unit.citation needed The "NTI Index" benchmarks nuclear security conditions across 176 countries and holds governments accountable for properly securing dangerous nuclear materials. According to NTI The NTI Index is the premier resource for political leaders government officials experts academics and the news media worldwide on nuclear materials security The Nuclear Threat Initiative NTI is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization founded in 2001 by former U.S. Senator Sam Nunn and philanthropist Ted Turner in the United States which works to prevent catastrophic attacks and accidents with weapons of mass destruction and disruption - nuclear biological radiological chemical and cybersecurity. NTI has been engaged in developing shaping and implementing nuclear security projects.citation needed In addition to building global awareness NTI engages in model programs to inspire private and governmental efforts toward nuclear biological and chemical threat reduction.citation needed The Nuclear Threat Initiative serves as the Secretariat for the "Nuclear Security Project" in cooperation with the Hoover Institution.citation needed Former Secretary of State George P. Shultz former Secretary of Defense William J. Perry former Secretary of State Henry A.

Very good. 2 iii 1 ES-ii 31 1 4 pages. Footnotes. Boxes. The Panel consisted of John S. Foster Jr. Chairman and Harold M. Agnew Sydell P. Gold Stephen J. Guidice and James R. Schlesinger. From the Executive Summary: Congress established this Panel in 1999 to examine whether the United States can expect to sustain confidence in its nuclear deterrent while complying with the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. This year we reviewed the national capability to perform the high priority day-to-day work of stockpile stewardship - surveillance assessments refurbishment annual certification and production. We find a disturbing gap between the nation's declaratory policy that maintenance of a safe and reliable nuclear stockpile is a supreme national interest and the actions taken to support this policy. We the Panel are particularly concerned about the Department of Energy's nuclear weapons production complex. cont. Internal and independent reviews including ours find that after more than a decade of under-investment in the weapons complex it is at unacceptably high risk to perform currently agreed upon weapon refurbishments and it remains unready to fix nuclear component problems that may arise in years ahead. Throughout the broader complex the trends point downward because of the aging of facilities and the workforce. Morale is low especially in the laboratories. Parts of the weapon complex infrastructure are defective; the production capabilities that remain are fragile. The Panel sees a growing need for a coherent vision comprehensive plan and programmatic commitment to reverse this situation. The panel issued recommendations on the production complex; design production and certification; surveillance; assessment tools and methods; annual certification process; DoD's roles; and test readiness.

References. Nov. 6 1998 distribution memorandum to multiple addressees laid in. This was compiled by the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant. It is marked OUO and it is stated that it 'may' be exempt from public release under FOIA. Given the passage of time and the effect of the Supreme Court ruling in Milner v. Department of Navy it is believed that this limitation no longer applies. In February 1998 Dr. Charles Stuart Director of the Advanced Design and Production Technologies ADAPT Initiative was directed to take a comprehensive look at archiving activities across the nuclear weapons complex and provide an assessment of current activities and future needs. This report documents that assessment. A key recommendation was to place the following language in coordination with the National Archives and Records Administration as an addition to Department of Energy Records Schedule 3 Nuclear Weapons Records: "DOE Defense Programs may from time to time suspend the disposal of DOE records whole series or parts there of covered by one or mores items of N1-434-96.5 DOE Records Schedule 3 Nuclear Weapons Records which contain information necessary to ensure the safety security and reliability of the nuclear weapons stockpile in support of the Stockpile Stewardship Program. Authorization to resume disposal actions will be issued when the information has been captured and included in an appropriate information system." This addition allows Defense Programs to legally hold documents past their scheduled destruction periods and to legally destroy documents that are no longer needed without continuing to hold all documents in a DOE Records Schedule category. This wording allows evaluations and assessments of records as the Stockpile Stewards Program matured and technology gains were realized. Lockheed Martin Energy Systems, inc unknown

Safety Evaluation Report related to the Department of Energy's proposal for the irradiation of lead test assemblies containing tritium-producing burnable absorber rods in commercial light-water reactors; NUREG-1607 Project No. 697

1997ref. 77644Washington DC: U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation 1997. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Very good. Various paginations approximately 76 pages. Abbreviations. Appendix A-Chronology of Correspondence. Some cover wear. Under the terms of the Joint DOE/NRC Memorandum of Understanding of May 22 1996 NRC was providing consultation services to assist DOE in assessing and resolving technical and licensing issues associated with DOE's proposal for the production of tritium in a commercial light-water reactor. DOE had submitted a revised report containing sufficient information for the staff to determine whether the use of a CLWR to irradiate a limited number of tritium-producing burnable absorber rods in lead test assemblies LTAs raised issues involving an unreviewed safety question. The NRC reviewed the DOE report and prepared this safety analysis to address the acceptabiity of the proposed irradiation and whether a licensee could irradiate of these LTAs without NRC licensing action. As summarized in Section 10 of this safety evaluation the staff identified issued that required further NRC review. The staff also identified a number of areas in which an individual licensee undertaking irradiation of TPBAR LTAs would have to supplement the information in the DOE report before the staff could determine whether the proposed irradiation was acceptable at a particular facility. Therefore the staff concluded that a licensee undertaking irradiation of TPBAR LTAs in a CLWR would have to submit an application for amendment of its facility operating license before inserting the LTAs into the reactor.

Among the members of the Special Panel were: Glen Seaborg Harold Bengelsdorf Harold Agnew Alexander Haig Bertrand Goldschmidt and Rudolph Rometsch. Laid in is a related item 11 pages and business card of the key conclusions and recommendations and other information. The American Nuclear Society ANS established an independent and prestigious panel to publish a report regarding the protection and management of civil and excess weapons plutonium. In terms of approach ANS focused on several short- and long-term issues. The short-term focus was on the disposition of excess weapons plutonium while the longer-range issue concerned the disposition of the plutonium being produced in the civil nuclear fuel cycle. The report contains recommendations that the members believed to be vital to US plutonium management policy it also was intended to serve as a tool for further use. The panel has concluded that immediate emphasis should be placed on the assurance that all unconverted materials are protected as securely as when they were part of the active weapon stockpiles. More importantly the panel also recommended prompt implementation of the so-called reactor option for disposing of surplus US and Russian weapons plutonium. The longer-term issues covered by the panel were those posed by the growing stocks of both separated plutonium and spent fuel generated in the world`s civil nuclear power programs. These issues included what fuel cycle policies should be prudently pursued in light of proliferation risks and likely future energy needs what steps should be taken in regard to the increase in the demand for power in the future and how plutonium in its various forms should be protected and managed to minimize proliferation. Overall the panel concluded that plutonium is an energy resource that should be used and not a waste material to be disposed of. paperback

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.

Acronym List. Reference List. CD is NOT PRESENT. Nuclear weapons life extension and countering nuclear threats will continue to be a central concern for the United States and the Department of Defense. The Department has identified the dual missions of sustaining a safe secure and effective nuclear deterrent and countering the threat from nuclear terrorism and nuclear proliferation as among the most important for U.S. national security priorities. Nuclear Matters serves as the focal point for these missions within the Department of Defense. Since the early 1990s the U.S. Nuclear Weapons Program has evolved significantly as a result of unilateral and bilateral arms reductions and the end of underground nuclear testing in the United States; successive editions of this work have been revised and restructured to reflect these changes. This book is intended to be an unofficial reference that explains the history and development of the U.S. Nuclear Weapons Program as well as the current activities associated with sustaining the U.S. nuclear deterrent. It is designed to be useful but it is neither authoritative nor directive. Please refer to the applicable statute regulation Department of Defense Direction/Instruction or Department of Energy Order for definitive guidance in all areas related to the U.S. Nuclear Weapons Program. The content of Nuclear Matters: A Practical Guide is the sole responsibility of the Office of the Deputy Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Nuclear Matters. This guide to Nuclear Matters can be read cover-to-cover for those who seek to understand the Program in its entirety and can also be used as a reference source to look up useful facts and information concerning specific areas. This guide is unofficial although every effort had been mad eto ensure that it is accurate and comprehensive. United States. Department of Defense paperback

Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear FutureBiblio.com

Report to the Secretary of Energy

2012ref. 73678Washington DC: Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future 2012. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. xxi1 158 pages. Illustrations color. Maps. Endnotes. Cover creased and has slight wear and soiling. Members of the commission included: Lee Hamilton Brent Scowcroft Albert Carnesdale Pete Domenici Susan Eisenhower Chuck Hagel and Ernest Moniz. A Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future was appointed by President Obama to look into future options for existing and future nuclear waste following the ending of work on the incomplete Yucca Mountain Repository. At present there are 70 nuclear power plant sites where 65000 tons of spent fuel is stored in the USA. Each year more than 2000 tons are added to this total. Nine states have "explicit moratoria on new nuclear power until a storage solution emerges". A deep geological repository seems to be the favored approach to storing nuclear waste. On January 26 2012 the Commission submitted its final report to Energy Secretary Steven Chu. The Commission put forth seven recommendations for developing a comprehensive strategy to pursue. A major recommendation was that "the United States should undertake an integrated nuclear waste management program that leads to the timely development of one or more permanent deep geological facilities for the safe disposal of spent fuel and high-level nuclear waste". On January 26 2012 the Commission submitted its final report to Energy Secretary Steven Chu. In their final report the Commission put forth several recommendations for developing a comprehensive strategy to pursue. A major recommendation was that "the United States should undertake an integrated nuclear waste management program that leads to the timely development of one or more permanent deep geological facilities for the safe disposal of spent fuel and high-level nuclear waste". There is an "international consensus on the advisability of storing nuclear waste in deep underground repositories" but no country in the world has yet opened such a site. In their final report the Commission put forth seven recommendations for developing a comprehensive strategy to pursue: Recommendation #1--The United States should undertake an integrated nuclear waste management program that leads to the timely development of one or more permanent deep geological facilities for the safe disposal of spent fuel and high-level nuclear waste. Recommendation #2--A new single-purpose organization is needed to develop and implement a focused integrated program for the transportation storage and disposal of nuclear waste in the United States. Recommendation #3--Assured access to the balance in the Nuclear Waste Fund NWF and to the revenues generated by nuclear waste fee payments from utility ratepayers is absolutely essential and must be provided to the new nuclear waste management organization. Recommendation #4--A new approach is needed to site and develop nuclear waste facilities in the United States in the future. We believe that these processes are most likely to succeed if they are: · Adaptive-in the sense that process itself is flexible and produces decisions that are responsive to new information and new technical social or political developments. · Staged-in the sense that key decisions are revisited and modified as necessary along the way rather than being pre-determined in advance. · Consent-based-in the sense that affected communities have an opportunity to decide whether to accept facility siting decisions and retain significant local control. · Transparent-in the sense that all stakeholders have an opportunity to understand key decisions and engage in the process in a meaningful way. · Standards- and science-based-in the sense that the public can have confidence that all facilities meet rigorous objective and consistently-applied standards of safety and environmental protection. · Governed by partnership arrangements or legally-enforceable agreements with host states tribes and local communities. Recommendation #5--The current division of regulatory responsibilities for long-term repository performance between the NRC and the EPA is appropriate and should continue. The two agencies should develop new site-independent safety standards in a formally coordinated joint process that actively engages and solicits input from all the relevant constituencies. Recommendation #6--The roles responsibilities and authorities of local state and tribal governments with respect to facility siting and other aspects of nuclear waste disposal must be an element of the negotiation between the federal government and the other affected units of government in establishing a disposal facility. In addition to legally-binding agreements as discussed in Recommendation #4 all affected levels of government local state tribal etc. must have at a minimum a meaningful consultative role in all other important decisions. Additionally states and tribes should retain-or where appropriate be delegated-direct authority over aspects of regulation permitting and operations where oversight below the federal level can be exercised effectively and in a way that is helpful in protecting the interests and gaining the confidence of affected communities and citizens. Recommendation #7--The Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board NWTRB should be retained as a valuable source of independent technical advice and review.

Abbreviations and Acronyms. List of Study Group Members. Cover has some wear and soiling. Black marks on the three edges. This work was sponsored by the Ford Foundation. The project was administered by the MITRE Corporation. This work was reviewed in Foreign Affairs by Reviewed by Andrew J. Pierre. In part he assessed this work as an impressive book a commendable example of clarity depth and timeliness. He judged that this work appeared to have had considerable impact on the nuclear policy of the Carter Administration. The 21-member group of experts examined the whole range of issues surrounding nuclear energy. Its recommendations were: 1 the international and social risks associated with the reprocessing and recycle of plutonium far outweigh the economic benefits and there is no compelling reason for the U.S. to depend upon plutonium in this century; 2 the breeder reactor program should be deemphasized and the date for commercialization postponed beyond the year 2000; 3 nuclear waste management should be expanded and improved using stable geological formations; 4 U.S. uranium enrichment capacity should be enlarged so as to assure other countries adequate nuclear fuel supplies thereby reducing pressures to seek indigenous facilities that would provide a capability leading to weapons; and 5 the U.S. should through its nuclear export policy seek a consensus among supplier and consumer nations against the spread of national plutonium separation and uranium enrichment facilities. The reviewer considered this to be a landmark study. Among the Study Group Members were Spurgeon Keeney Harold Brown Albert Carnesale Abram Chayes Paul Doty Richard Garwin Joseph Nye Wolfgang Panofsky George Rathjens and Thomas Schelling.

Report of the Commission on Maintaining United States Nuclear Weapons Expertise: Report to the Congress and Secretary of Energy Pursuant to the National Defense Authorization Acts of 1997 and 1998 March 1 1999

1999ref. 59756Washington DC: Commission on Maintaining United States Nuclear Weapons Expertise 1999. Wraps. Very good. Includes illustrations. Various paginations approximately 120 pages. List of Documents. The Commission on Maintaining United States Nuclear Weapons Expertise hereafter referred to as the Commission was prescribed by the National Defense Authorization Act of FY 1997. The Congress identified the need for the Commission because of the substantial changes in the environment affecting nuclear weapons design production and testing since the end of the Cold War. In view of these changes the Commission was tasked with reviewing ongoing efforts of Department of Energy DOE to attract scientific engineering and technical personnel recommending improvements and identifying actions where needed and developing a plan for recruitment and retention within the DOE nuclear weapons complex.1 We have arrived at 12 recommendations in four areas: national commitment program management personnel policies and oversight. What the Commission proposed was not a classic plan in the narrow sense but a series of recommendations to assure that critical well-qualified personnel are available to execute the Stockpile Stewardship Program SSP and to assure the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile today and in future years. The Commission was directed to "Develop a plan for recruiting and retaining within the Department of Energy DOE nuclear weapons complex such scientified engineering and technical personnel as the Commission determines appropriate in order to permit the Department to maintain over the long term a safe and reliable nuclear weapons stockpile without engaging in underground nuclear testing.

Assuring a Future U.S. -Based Nuclear and Radiochemistry Expertise

2012ref. 67790Washington DC: The National Academies Press 2012. PResumed first edition/first printing. Trade paperback. Very good. xx 200 p. Illustrations. References. Title continues: Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board DIvision of Earth and Life Studies Board on Higher Education and Workforce Division on Policy and Global Affairs National Research Council of the National Academies. This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration and other agencies. The growing use of nuclear medicine the potential expansion of nuclear power generation and the urgent needs to protect the nation against external nuclear threats to maintain our nuclear weapons stockpile and to manage the nuclear wastes generated in past decades require a substantial highly trained and exceptionally talented workforce. Assuring a Future U.S. -Based Nuclear and Radiochemistry Expertise examines supply and demand for expertise in nuclear chemistry nuclear science and radiochemistry in the United States and presents possible approaches for ensuring adequate availability of these skills including necessary science and technology training platforms. Considering a range of reasonable scenarios looking to the future none of these areas are likely to experience a decrease in demand for expertise. However many in the current workforce are approaching retirement age and the number of students opting for careers in nuclear and radiochemistry has decreased dramatically over the past few decades. In order to avoid a gap in these critical areas increases in student interest in these careers in the research and educational capacity of universities and colleges and sector specific on-the-job training will be needed. Concise recommendations are given for actions to avoid a shortage of nuclear chemistry nuclear scientists and radiochemists in the future. From Wikipedia: "The National Research Council NRC is the working arm of the United States National Academies which produces reports that shape policies inform public opinion and advance the pursuit of science engineering and medicine. The National Academies include: National Academy of Sciences NAS National Academy of Engineering NAE Institute of Medicine IOM Unlike the other three organizations of the National Academies the National Research Council is not a membership organization. The National Research Council was organized in 1916 in response to the increased need for scientific and technical services caused by World War I. On June 1 1917 the council convened a meeting of scientific representatives of the UK and France with interested parties from the US on the subject of submarine detection. The results obtained and the problems in the work were discussed. A further meeting with the British and French was held in Paris in October 1918 at which more details of their work was disclosed. As a result of this the council recommended that US scientists be brought together to work on the problems. A New York Group worked on "supersonics" as did a San Pedro Group. A New London Group worked on binaural receivers while Chicago and Wisconsin Groups were assigned various problems in support of the other groups. Due to the success of Council-directed research in producing a sound-based method of detecting submarines as well as other military innovations the NRC was retained at the end of the war though it was gradually decoupled from the military. The Research Council is currently administered jointly by the National Academy of Sciences the National Academy of Engineering and the Institute of Medicine and its work is overseen by a Governing Board and an Executive Committee."
