Terrorism, the Media, and the Government: Perspectives, Trends, and Options for Policymakers

Description: Terrorists, governments, and the media see the function, roles and responsibilities of the media when covering terrorist events from differing and often competing perspectives. Such perspectives drive behavior during terrorist incidents--often resulting in both tactical and strategic gains to the terrorist operation and the overall terrorist cause. The challenge to both the governmental and press communities is to understand the dynamics of terrorist enterprise and to develop policy options des… more

Nuclear Weapons: Disposal Options for Surplus Weapons-Usable Plutonium

Description: With the end of the Cold War, the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaties (START), and other agreements, the United States and Russia have dramatically reduced their arsenals of nuclear weapons. As a result, each side has accumulated large stockpiles of plutonium, one of the principal materials used in nuclear warheads. The United States recently declared a holding of approximately 50 metric tons of weapons-usable plutonium excess to military needs. Even greater levels are believed to exist in Russia. more

Direct numerical solution of Poisson`s equation in cylindrical (r, z) coordinates

Description: A direct solver method is developed for solving Poisson`s equation numerically for the electrostatic potential {phi}(r,z) in a cylindrical region (r < R{sub wall}, 0 < z < L). The method assumes the charge density {rho}(r,z) and wall potential {phi}(r = R{sub wall}, z) are specified, and {partial_derivative}{phi}/{partial_derivative}z = 0 at the axial boundaries (z = 0, L).

Mechanical behavior of ultrahigh strength ultrahigh carbon steel wire and rod

Description: Ultrahigh-carbon steels (UHCSS) can achieve very high strengths in wire or rod form. These high strengths result from the mechanical work introduced during wire and rod processing. These strengths have been observed to increase with carbon content. In wire form, tensile strengths approaching 6000 MPa are predicted for UHCS containing 1. 8%C. In this paper, we will discuss the influence of processing (including rapid transformation during wire patenting) and micros ct- ure on the mechanical beha… more

Engineering study of the criticality issues associated with Hanford tank 241-Z-361

Description: Tank 241-Z-361 is associated with the Plutonium Finishing Plant (PFP). Uncertainty about the contents of the tank have led to the declaration of an Unreviewed Safety Question (USQ) and the preparation of a Justification for Continued Operation (JCO) to address flammable gas and other authorization basis issued. A Criticality Safety Team was assembled to review old data, determine its validity, and reevaluate the tank. It was concluded that the tank has a sufficient margin of safety to allow ope… more
