Wraps. Zustand: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. 15, [1] pages plus covers. Illustrations (some in color). Bibliography. Seymour Sack was one of the foremost U.S. nuclear weapons designers. Sack joined the Laboratory in 1955. Sack was instrumental in developing the first stages of thermonuclear devices. His weapon design programs introduced insensitive high explosives, fire-resistant plutonium pits and other state-of-the-art nuclear safety elements. Some of his design concepts are found in every one of the U.S. stockpile weapons - whether designed by Livermore or Los Alamos. He developed 2D design codes and in the early 1960s applied them to the design of the first safe, modern primary deployed in the Polaris warhead. He designed primaries for the first bombs small enough to be deployed in the Poseidon submarine-launched ballistic missile and the Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missile. Later, he turned his efforts to the conception and realization of the modern, extremely safe, air-carried nuclear weapon. In the 1980s, all of these safety innovations were brought together for the first time in a strategic warhead in the development of the Peacekeeper warhead - the safest, most advanced warhead in the active stockpile. Sack's long list of awards and recognition includes the E.O. Lawrence award in 1973, "for his innovative contributions to the theory of nuclear weapons, his development of computer codes fundamental to the design of modern nuclear weapons, his leadership in the development of new and important weapon design concepts, and his role in the engineering and testing of weapons for our nuclear stockpile." In 1997, he received the Fleet Ballistic Missile Achievement Award, which acknowledged his work on the W62 and W68 warheads. In 2003, Sack was awarded the prestigious Enrico Fermi award "for his contributions to the national security of the United States in his work assuring the reliability of nuclear weapons, and thus deterring war between the superpowers.".…
