It is also understood that only a very limited number of copies of this report were likely to have been produced. The cover has small photographs of the Super Block Tritium Facility LLNL, SRS Tritium Facilities, LANL WETF Tritium Facility, and Neutron Generator Facility SNL. In September 2005, NA-10 chartered a study of tritium facilities across the NNSA weapons complex. The scope included manufacturing, R&D, and Storage. The study was chartered to develop options for consolidation of tritium capability and analyze their relative costs and benefits. the study was conducted within a context of the recognition that the future weapons complex must be more consolidated, efficient, and responsive.

Small tear to front cover. Cover has some wear and soiling. Jointly published with Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque. This report is the fourth in a series of efforts by the Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, to identify problems and propose solutions for international safeguarding of light-water reactor spent-fuel reprocessing plants. Problem areas for international safeguards were identified in a previous Problem Statement (LA-7551-MS/SAND79-0108). Accounting concepts that could be verified internationally were presented in a subsequent study (LA-8042). Concepts for containment/surveillance were presented, conceptual designs were developed, and the effectiveness of these designs was evaluated in a companion study (SAND80-0160). The report discusses the coordination of nuclear materials accounting and containment/surveillance concepts in an effort to define an effective integrated safeguards system. The Allied-General Nuclear Services fuels reprocessing plant at Barnwell, South Carolina, was used as the reference facility. More

Inscribed and signed by both main authors (Antonio & Jonna Mendez) on title page. .Antonio Joseph "Tony" Mendez (born November 15, 1940) is an American CIA technical operations officer, now retired, who specialized in support of clandestine and covert CIA operations. He has written three memoirs about his CIA experiences. Mendez was decorated, and is now widely known, for his on-the-scene management of the "Canadian Caper" during the Iran hostage crisis, in which he exfiltrated six American diplomats from Iran in January 1980. He arranged to have them pose as a Canadian film crew. As part of their cover, the diplomats carried passports issued by the Canadian government to document them as Canadian citizens. After declassification of records, the full details of the operation were reported in a 2007 article by Joshuah Bearman in Wired magazine. This was loosely adapted for the screenplay and development of the 2012 Academy Award-winning film Argo, directed by Ben Affleck, who also starred as Mendez. More

Williams, Maxwell Air Force Base. In their retreat from Seoul in September, 1950, the Reds left behind them the secret of their most powerful weapon: their master plan for the complete and continuing conquest of an entire population. Each individual who survived the 90 days of Red occupation bore the mark of that plan. John W. Riley, Jr. was a sociologist at Rutgers. Wilbur Schramm was a communications expert at the University of Illinois. In this work they picture the Communist scheme: the occupation of the territory by a swift sure blow of military force, the erection of an iron curtain to shut out alien influences, and the elaborate and frightening plan by which they meant to control not only the acts but the thoughts of the South Koreans. If the stark facts of the Riley-Schramm report seem inapplicable to human situation, the reader need only turn to other contemporary illustrative works. Here then, in all its aspects, the that plan that bur for the combined efforts of 52 free nations would be operating with deadly efficiency in South Korea now. Here is the plan that will be applied wherever the military powers of the Reds is sufficient to gain a foothold for the political army. More
