Washington, DC: United States Department of Energy, 2002. Presumed first edition/first printing. Wraps. Includes: illustrations, diagrams, index. 2 volumes. Volume 1, Chapters 1 throught 11 (approximately 350 pages); Volume 2 Appendices A through K (approximately 200 pages). Various paginations. References. Glossary. TA-18 supported important defense, nuclear safety, and other national security mission responsibilities. The operations at TA-18 enabled DOE personnel to gain knowledge and expertise in advanced nuclear technologies that supported: nuclear materials management, criticality safety; emergency response in support of counterterrorism activities, nuclear safeguards, arms control; and criticality experiments. Technical Area 18 housed at the time the Western Hemisphere's largest collection of machines for conducting nuclear safety evaluations. Under the right conditions, at Techncial Area 18, usingfissile material, experiments capable of maintaining a self-sustaining nuclear fission chain reaction had been achieved. As part of the national response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the Department of Energy proposed to relocate the Technical Area 18 operational capabilities and materals to a new location. This environmental impact statement was part of that process. Condition: Very good. No dust jacket. Cover has slight wear and soiling.
