National Academy Press: National Academy Press, 1991. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. xviii, 390 pages. Index. Footnotes. Figures. Tables. Appendixes. (including Glossary). Index. Protecting U.S. security by controlling technology exports has long been a major issue. But the threat of the Soviet sphere is rapidly being superseded by state-sponsored terrorism; nuclear, chemical, biological, and missile proliferation; and other critical security factors. This volume provides a policy outline and specific steps for an urgently needed revamping of U.S. and multilateral export controls. It presents the latest information on these and many other pressing issues: The successes and failures of U.S. export controls, including a look at U.S. laws, regulations, and export licensing; U.S. participation in international agencies; and the role of industry; The effects of export controls on industry; and The growing threat of "proliferation" technologies. World events make this volume indispensable to policy makers, government security agencies, technology exporters, and faculty and students of international affairs. More

Washington DC: National Academy of Sciences, 1997. presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. viii, 110, [2] pages. Boxes. Notes. Appendixes. Cover has slight wear and soiling. The Committee on International Security and Arms Control (CISAC) is a standing committee of the National Academy of Sciences. CISAC was created in 1980 to bring the Academy's scientific and technical talent to bear on crucial problems of peace and security. This report was based on an exhaustive reexamination of the issues addressed tin the Committee's 1991 report on The Future of the U.S.-Soviet Nuclear Relationship. It describes the state to which U.S. and Russian nuclear forces and policies have evolved since the Cold War ended, the reasons why further evolution is desirable, and the shape of a regime of progressive constraints responses to these reasons. It concludes with a discussion of the conditions and means under which, in the longer term, it could becomes desirable and feasible to prohibit the possession of nuclear weapons altogether. More
Washington, DC: National Academy Press, 1994. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. x, [2], 275 pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Footnotes. Paperclip marks on a few pages. On January 24, 1994, the National Academy of Sciences released a major policy report recommending a comprehensive approach to the handling of the large stocks of weapons plutonium no longer needed with the end of the Cold War. The study, entitled "Management and Disposition of Excess Weapons Plutonium," presents detailed recommendations on a reciprocal U.S.-Russian plutonium regime, which would include: declarations on total inventories of weapons and fissile materials, monitored dismantlement of weapons, safeguarded interim storage of materials, and long-term disposal of excess plutonium either by vitrification into large logs with high-level waste or by use as fuel in existing reactors without future reprocessing.

Washington DC: National Academy Press, 1994. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. ix, [1], 31, [3] pages. Within the next decade, many thousands of U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons are slated to be retired as a result of nuclear arms reduction treaties and unilateral pledges. A hundred tons or more of plutonium and tons of highly enriched uranium will no longer be needed. The management and disposition of these fissile materials, the essential ingredients of nuclear weapons, pose urgent challenges for international security. This is the Executive Summary of the report which offers recommendations for all phases of the problem, from dismantlement of excess warheads, through intermediate storage of the fissile materials they contain, to ultimate disposition of the plutonium.

Washington, DC: National Academy Press, 1995. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. xi, [3], 418, [4] pages. Wraps, Footnotes References. Boxes. Tables. Institutional stamp and ink notation on verso (page ii). Within the next decade, many thousands of U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons are slated to be retired as a result of nuclear arms reduction treaties and unilateral pledges. Hundreds of tons of plutonium and highly enriched uranium will no longer be needed for weapons purposes and will pose urgent challenges to international security. This is the supporting volume to a study by the Committee on International Security and Arms Control which dealt with all phases of the management and disposition of these materials. This technical study concentrates on the option for the disposition of plutonium, looking in detail at the different types of reactors in which weapons plutonium could be burned and at the vitrification of plutonium, and comparing them using economic, security and environmental criteria.

This include a list of the members of the Committee on International Security and Arms Control, Foreword by Frank Press. Preface by Marvin L. Goldberger. Chapters include: Overview, Strategic Offensive Nuclear Arms Control, The Nuclear Freeze, The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Force (INF) Negotiations, Strategic Defense Arms Control: The SALT I Anti-ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty, Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Arms Control, Nuclear Test Bans, and Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The Appendices are: Appendix A SALT I Interim Agreement on Strategic Offensive Arms; Appendix B SALT II Treaty; Appendix C SALT I ABM Treaty; Appendix D Limited Test Ban Treaty; Appendix E Threshold Test Ban Treaty; Appendix F Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty; and Appendix G Non-Proliferation Treaty. This nontechnical overview of developments in nuclear arms control describes how the United States and the Soviet Union arrived at their present positions--and where they might go from here. According to Foreign Affairs, "This book is proof that the complexities of arms control can be successfully explained in a nontechnical, and even more importantly, nonpartisan manner. . . . It presents the key issues in a clear, thorough, and remarkably up-to-date way. . . . Strongly recommended as a primary source for classroom and public discussions." Arms control is a term for restrictions upon the development, production, stockpiling, proliferation and usage of conventional weapons, and weapons of mass destruction. More

Washington DC: National Nuclear Security Administration, Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation, 2001. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. 19, [13] pages. Mostly printed on both sides of a sheet. Sheets/project posters on several IPP projects are included at the back of this document. This year's report covers a year that involved a number of exciting developments in the Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention (IPP) program. The program receives a significant vote of confidence for its commercialization focus, with for successful IPP projects attracting $56 million in private venture capital funds. These funds were in addition to the already substantial contribution from U.S. industry partners, who more than match U.S. government funding on each new IPP project. The IPP program also resumed operation in Kazakhstan and Ukraine, adding the scientific talent of these countries to the technology resource base now available to U.S. industry partners. The program's nonproliferation objectives are met with increasing success, as a growing number of former Soviet weapons scientists are engaged, both in the course of ongoing work as well as in the jobs that are being created by successfully completed IPP projects.

Spiral bound. 27, [1] pages, including covers. Marked Official Use Only. This limitation is understood to no longer apply due to the passage of time and the public disclosure of comparable information in Congressional Budget Requests, Congressional testimony, and other information releases. The Atomic Energy Commission originally established the "Aerial Measurements Operations" at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the 1950s. It was created to serve the worldwide emergency system by providing rapid response to radiological emergencies. In 1976, the DOE established an Aerial Measurements Operations at Andrews Air Force Base – now called Joint Base Andrews – in Maryland to provide scientific and technical support to counterterrorism efforts during U.S. Bicentennial events in Washington, D.C. With a location on each coast, the RSL has served for over 50 years as a valuable national asset for nuclear emergency response and remote sensing capabilities. The Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL) is a center for creating and using advanced technologies that provide a broad range of scientific, technological, and operational disciplines with core competencies in emergency response operations and support, remote sensing, and applied science and technologies in support of counterterrorism and radiological incident response.

The Global Nuclear Detection Architecture (GNDA) is described as a worldwide network of sensors, telecommunications, and personnel, with the supporting information exchanges, programs, and protocols that serve to detect, analyze, and report on nuclear and radiological materials that are out of regulatory control. The Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO), an office within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), coordinates the development of the GNDA with its federal partners. Performance Metrics for the Global Nuclear Detection Architecture considers how to develop performance measures and quantitative metrics that can be used to evaluate the overall effectiveness and report on progress toward meeting the goals of the GNDA. According to this report, two critical components are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of the GNDA: a new strategic plan with outcome-based metrics and an analysis framework to enable assessment of outcome-based metrics. The GNDA is a complex system of systems meant to deter and detect attempts to unlawfully transport radiological or nuclear material. The recommendations of Performance Metrics for the Performance Metrics for the Global Nuclear Detection Architecture may be used to improve the GNDA strategic plan and the reporting of progress toward meeting its goals during subsequent review cycles.

New York: McGraw-Hill, 2003. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. ix, [1], 230 pages. Maps. Appendices. References. Index. Approximately 5.75 inches by 8.75 inches. This is a Brookings Institution book. Foreword by Strobe Talbott. "In describing their comprehensive proposal for negotiations with North Korea, O'Hanlon and Mochizuki exhibit the strategic creativity and analytical depth needed by United States policy makers dealing with this strange, dangerous place."--Ash Carter, former Assistant Secretary of Defense and Ford Foundation Professor of Science and International Affairs, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University. In early 2002, in his state of the union address, President Bush described North Korea as being a member of the "Axis of Evil." Since then, the U.S. has gone to war with Iraq, and the world now wonders what the future of Bush's preemption policy will bring. Many of the nation's top experts feel that North Korea is a more imminent threat than Iraq was. They have a nuclear program, a million-man army, and missiles to deploy and export. In "Crisis on the Korean Peninsula," Michael O'Hanlon, a Senior Fellow at Brooking and visiting lecturer at Princeton, and Mike Mochizuki, not only examine this issue in detail but also offer a comprehensive blueprint for diffusing the crisis with North Korea. Their solution comes in the form of a "grand bargain" with North Korea. Accords could be negotiated step-by-step, however they need to be guided by a broad and ambitious vision that addresses not only the nuclear issue but also the conventional forces on the hyper-militarized peninsula and the ongoing decline of the North Korean economy.
