For Further Reading. Index. Richard Lawrence Garwin (born April 19, 1928) is an American physicist, widely known to be the author of the first hydrogen bomb design. After graduating from the University of Chicago, Garwin joined the physics faculty there and spent summers as a consultant to Los Alamos National Laboratory working on nuclear weapons. Garwin was the author of the actual design used in the first hydrogen bomb in 1952. He was assigned the job by Edward Teller, with the instructions that he was to make it as conservative a design as possible in order to prove the concept. He also worked on the development of the first spy satellites, for which he was named one of the ten founders of national reconnaissance. He was the catalyst for the discovery and publication of the Cooley-Tukey FFT algorithm, today. He worked on gravitational waves. He has been granted 47 patents and has published over 500 papers. In December 1952, he joined IBM's Watson laboratory, where he worked continuously until 1993. He is currently IBM Fellow Emeritus at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center. Garwin served on the U.S. President's Science Advisory Committee from 1962-65 and 1969-72. He has been a member of the JASON Defense Advisory Group since 1966. He chaired the Arms Control and Nonproliferation Advisory Board of the U.S. Department of State. He served on the Defense Science Board. He also served on the Commission to Assess the Ballistic Missile Threat to the United States in 1998. In Megawatts and Megatons, world-renowned physicists Richard L. Garwin and Georges Charpak offer an accessible, eminently well-informed primer on two of the most important issues of our time: nuclear weapons and nuclear power. They begin by explaining clearly and concisely how nuclear fission and fusion work in both warheads and reactors, and how they can impact human health. Making a strong and eloquent argument in favor of arms control, Garwin and Charpak outline specific strategies for achieving this goal worldwide. But they also demonstrate how nuclear power can provide an assured, economically feasible, and environmentally responsible source of energy-in a way that avoids the hazards of weapons proliferation. Numerous figures enliven the text, including cartoons by Sempé.…

It is understood that with the passage of time and the general diffusion of knowledge into the public sector that there is no current distribution limitation. JASON is an independent group of elite scientists who advise the United States government on matters of science and technology, mostly of a sensitive nature. The group was created in the aftermath of the Sputnik launch as a way to have the nation's preeminent scientists help the government with defense problems, similar to the way that scientists helped in World War II. It was established in 1960 and has somewhere between 30 and 60 members. Its work first gained public attention as the source of the Vietnam War's McNamara Line electronic barrier. Most of its research is military-focused. It has been estimated that plutonium pits have a minimum lifetime of at least 100 years, and a Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory study found that samples artificially aged to 150 years still performed as designed. This is because the alloy used in modern pits degrades slowly, and independent scientific reviews, including a JASON report, have concluded that most types of pits have a credible lifetime of at least a century. Aging issues are primarily a concern for the plutonium itself, which is stabilized by the addition of a small amount of another material to its alloy to prevent it from degrading. JASON studies (2007 and earlier) concluded that most plutonium pits have a minimum lifetime of at least 100 years. LLNL study (2012): Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory found that plutonium samples artificially aged to 150 years continued to perform as designed. They also noted that the aged plutonium continued to "age gracefully" with no unexpected aging issues appearing. Other studies: The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has a 10-year research plan to further study plutonium pit aging to better predict lifetimes for each nuclear weapon system in the U.S. stockpile, as reported by the U.S. Government Accountability Office. In addition to the plutonium itself, other components of the pit, such as the non-nuclear materials, have also shown remarkable stability over the years. While plutonium pits are not expected to age significantly within the first 100 years, they are still a concern for some officials who believe that 80 or more new pits per year are needed to replace the aging pits in the U.S. arsenal.
