Radiation may be defined as energy traveling through space. Non-ionizing radiation is essential to life, but excessive exposures will cause tissue damage. All forms of ionizing radiation have sufficient energy to ionize atoms that may destabilize molecules within cells and lead to tissue damage. More

Robert Oppenheimer (born Julius Robert Oppenheimer; April 22, 1904 – February 18, 1967) was an American theoretical physicist and director of the Manhattan Project's Los Alamos Laboratory during World War II. He is often called the "father of the atomic bomb". Oppenheimer earned a bachelor of arts degree in chemistry from Harvard University in 1925 and a doctorate in physics from the University of Göttingen in Germany in 1927, where he studied under Max Born. He joined the physics department at the University of California, Berkeley, where he became a full professor in 1936. He made significant contributions to theoretical physics, including achievements in quantum mechanics and nuclear physics such as the Born–Oppenheimer approximation for molecular wave functions, work on the theory of electrons and positrons, the Oppenheimer–Phillips process in nuclear fusion, and early work on quantum tunneling. In 1942, Oppenheimer was recruited to work on the Manhattan Project, and in 1943 he was appointed director of the project's Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico, tasked with developing the first atomic bombs. He was instrumental in the project's success. On July 16, 1945, he was present at the first test of the atomic bomb, Trinity. In 1947, Oppenheimer became the director of the Institute for Advanced Study. More

Cover has slight wear and soiling. Format is approximately 7.75 inches by 10.25 inches. The nuclear industry continued to grow in 1971, a year which reflected an increasing level of orders for nuclear power plants. There also was increasing evidence that the industry was reaching maturity, especially in the use of light water reactor technology. More

There are two basic alternatives as to the ultimate responsibility for uranium enrichment activities: continued ownership and operation by the Government or transfer of the function to industry. This AEC staff report represents an effort to identify and discuss the primary factors involved in the Government's consideration of whether to permit private participation in uranium enriching, either in the near or long-term future, and the framework within which any such participation could best be carried out. The study does not attempt to advocate a particular course of action or to arrive at conclusions regarding the feasibility or desirability of private participation. Such conclusions depend largely upon the relative weight given to the various considerations discussed in this report. More

Washington, DC: U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. 1969. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. 22 cm. [2], 30 pages. Wraps. Illustrations (some in color). References. This is one of the series on Understanding the Atom. There are 51 booklets in the "Understanding the Atom Series" series published by the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. The booklets can be grouped into the categories of physics, chemistry, biology, nuclear reactors, the environment, and general interest. Nine of the booklets were available in French and 15 were available in Spanish. In this text the discussion concentrates on the radiological and thermal aspects of the environmental effects of nuclear power plants; on the procedures followed by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) to minimize the impact of nuclear plants on man and his environment; and on the research conducted by the AEC and others to further expand our knowledge. Numerous photographs and diagrams are utilized and a list of suggested references is included. More

Peaceful nuclear explosions (PNEs) are nuclear explosions conducted for non-military purposes, such as activities related to economic development including the creation of canals. During the 1960s and 1970s, both the United States and the Soviet Union conducted a number of PNEs. Six of the explosions by the Soviet Union are considered to have been of an applied nature, not just tests. Subsequently the United States and the Soviet Union halted their programs. Definitions and limits are covered in the Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty of 1976. In the PNE Treaty, the signatories agreed: not to carry out any individual nuclear explosions having a yield exceeding 150 kilotons; not to carry out any group explosion (consisting of a number of individual explosions) having an aggregate yield exceeding 1,500 kilotons; and not to carry out any group explosion having an aggregate yield exceeding 150 kilotons unless the individual explosions in the group could be identified and measured by agreed verification procedures. The parties also reaffirmed their obligations to comply fully with the Limited Test Ban Treaty of 1963. The parties reserve the right to carry out nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes in the territory of another country if requested to do so, but only in full compliance with the yield limitations and other provisions of the PNE Treaty and in accord with the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty of 1996 prohibits all nuclear explosions, regardless of whether they are for peaceful purposes or not. More
