Wraps. Zustand: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. ii, 58 pages. Tables. Figures. Footnotes. References. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Cover soiled. This work addresses External Radiation Exposure, Internal Radioactivity, Effects of Radiation on Personnel, Claims for Radiation Injury to Personnel, Audits and Reviews, and Abnormal Occurrences. Radiation exposures to Navy and civilian personnel monitored for radiation associated with U.S> Naval nuclear propulsion plans are summarized in this report. navy personnel manned fifteen tenders, four submarine bases, one moored training ship, 119 nuclear-powered submarines and sixteen nuclear-powered surface which were in operation at the end of 1992. Eight shipyards were engaged in construction, overhaul or refueling of these ships. The benefits of nuclear propulsion in our most capable combatant ships have long been recognized, and our nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines form the most invulnerable element of the U.S. strategic deterrent. The United States Navy Nuclear Propulsion community consists of Naval Officers and Enlisted members who are specially trained to run and maintain the nuclear reactors that power the submarines and aircraft carriers. Operating more than 80 nuclear-powered ships, the United States Navy is currently the largest naval force in the world. The United States Navy first began research into the applications of nuclear power in 1946 at the Manhattan Project's nuclear power-focused laboratory to develop a nuclear power plant. Eight men were assigned to the project, including Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, who is known as the "Father of the Nuclear Navy." The first nuclear-powered submarine, the USS Nautilus, was launched and commissioned in 1954. The development of the nuclear-powered submarine greatly increased capabilities . Shortly to follow in utilizing nuclear technology was the aircraft carrier. Commissioned in 1961, the USS Enterprise was the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
