The mission of the Office of Nonproliferation and Arms Control (NPAC) is to prevent proliferation, ensure peaceful nuclear uses, and enable verifiable nuclear reductions. NPAC provides a comprehensive approach to strengthen nonproliferation and arms control regimes, achieving its mission through four subprograms: International Nuclear Safeguards, Nuclear Controls, Nuclear Verification, Nonproliferation Policy. There is a complicated network of federal agencies and interrelated regulations that govern exports collectively referred to as "Export Controls." In brief, Export Controls regulate the shipment or transfer, by whatever means, of controlled items, software, technology, or services out of U.S. (termed an "Export"). In the nonproliferation area nuclear materials and technologies and technical data are subject to such controls. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus.

The Program Review had the following focus areas: Spectral Sensing of Solids, Poster Session, Passive Spectral Sensing Development, Active Spectral Sensing Development, Millimeter-Wave and RF Sensing, Optical Remote Sensing, Enabling Technologies and a limited attendance SCI Session. One of the enduring programs within the Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and Development is to develop remote sensing technology that supports detection and characterization of signatures or activities related to nuclear proliferation The Remote Sensing Program has been a cornerstone in the national capability for the detection of facilities and activities related to the proliferation of foreign nuclear programs. Remote Sensing research encompass a wide variety of capabilities to detect signatures associated with the development of nuclear weapons. The research areas in the Remote Sensing program include sensor development, image processing, and digital signal processing techniques for analysis and characterization of observed phenomena. The list of presenters representers the key researcher and program performers from Argonne, Los Alamos, Livermore, Oak Ridge, Sandia, Savannah River and Pacific Northwest National Laboratories, the Remote Sensing Laboratory, the Special Technologies Laboratory, and the Nevada National Security Site management and operating contractor, along with Federal program officials. The Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL) is a center for creating and using advanced technologies that provide a broad range of scientific, technological, and operational disciplines with core competencies in emergency response operations and support, remote sensing, and applied science and technologies in support of counterterrorism and radiological incident response. The Atomic Energy Commission originally established the "Aerial Measurements Operations" at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the 1950s. It was created to serve the worldwide emergency system by providing rapid response to radiological emergencies. In 1976, the DOE established an Aerial Measurements Operations at Andrews Air Force Base - now called Joint Base Andrews - in Maryland to provide scientific and technical support to counterterrorism efforts during U.S. Bicentennial events in Washington, D.C. With a location on each coast, the RSL has served for over 50 years as a valuable national asset for nuclear emergency response and remote sensing capabilities.

Trade paperback. Presumed first edition/first printing. Glued binding. Various paginations (approximately 270 p. ) Illustrations. Occasional footnotes. The National Defense University and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory brought together a group of experts. This Report is the product of their collective efforts, which were based on a shared perception of the need for a greater understanding of the role of nuclear weapons in U.S. national deterrence policy. The participants considered how the United States could both shape and respond to them. A forward-looking paradigm emerged. The core is that nuclear weapons will continue indefinitely to play an indispensable role to deter aggressors and to allow the United States to construct a more stable security environment. The United States needs a nuclear deterrent posture, defined to include forces-in-being; capabilities for weapon system design and production; and the ability to assure the safety and performance of the nuclear stockpile--a challenge in the absence of under-ground testing.

The purpose of this booklet is to provide background information on how and why International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards play a central role in international efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. IAEA safeguards provide assurances to the international community that nuclear material and equipment are not being used for the illicit manufacture of nuclear weapons. The application of IAEA safeguards promotes international confidence that States are using nuclear energy exclusively for peaceful purposes; deters and provides early warning of incipient nuclear weapon programs; and establishes a mechanism through which to make judgments regarding compliance with the Nonproliferation Treaty. The mission of the Office of Nonproliferation and Arms Control (NPAC) is to prevent proliferation, ensure peaceful nuclear uses, and enable verifiable nuclear reductions. NPAC provides a comprehensive approach to strengthen nonproliferation and arms control regimes, achieving its mission through four subprograms: International Nuclear Safeguards, Nuclear Controls, Nuclear Verification, Nonproliferation Policy.

The Chairman stated: ''Today we will hear about research efforts aimed at better identifying an exploded nuclear weapon's origin through forensic examination. This information would be critical in directing our reaction to a nuclear attack. More hopefully, it could help prevent an attack from ever happening. Potential state sponsors of nuclear terrorism might pause before sharing nuclear material and technology with terrorists if they knew this aid would be traced back to their capital. Not all would-be nuclear terrorists hold religious or apocalyptical beliefs that welcome death. Some might be less inclined to attack U.S targets if they knew that they would be held accountable, as were the Taliban, many who were killed in response to the 9/11 attacks." A terrorist nuclear attack on U.S. soil would likely take a devastating toll in lives and property, with unimaginable consequences for the American economy and way of life. Terrorists groups, primarily al Qaeda, but maybe others, are pursuing nuclear capabilities. 'It is hard to gauge the likelihood of terrorists accessing a nuclear weapon and delivering it against the United States. Some believe that building a crude nuclear weapon would be well within the technological reach of terrorists once they secured the necessary amount of fissile material. We do not have the luxury of assuming a high hurdle. The A.Q. Khan network is another wake-up call. Before this sophisticated network was exposed, key nuclear technology was transferred from Pakistan to Libya, Iran and elsewhere. Anyone with money could have acquired nuclear technology. Once secured, terrorists may try to smuggle a nuclear weapon into the U.S., using the routes by which contraband is routinely smuggled into our country.

Trade paperback. Zustand: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. ix, [1], 191, [3] pages. Figure. Table. Endnotes. Cover has some wear and corner curling. Henry D. Sokolski is the founder and executive director of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank promoting a better understanding of strategic weapons proliferation issues among policymakers, scholars, and the media. From 1989 to 1993, Sokolski served as the Deputy for Nonproliferation Policy in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, for which he received the U.S. Secretary of Defense's Medal for Outstanding Public Service. Prior to this, he worked in the Secretary of Defense's Office of Net Assessment on strategic weapons proliferation issues. Sokolski worked in Congress from 1984 through 1988 as senior military legislative aide to U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee member Dan Quayle and from 1982 through 1983 as special assistant on nuclear energy matters to Senator Gordon J. Humphrey. He worked as a consultant on nuclear weapons proliferation to the intelligence community's National Intelligence Council, received a Congressional appointment to the Deutch Proliferation Commission, served as a member of the Central Intelligence Agency's senior advisory panel from 1995 to 1996, and was a member of the Commission on the Prevention of WMD proliferation and terrorism. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and IISS and is on the editorial board of The Nonproliferation Review. The National Journal recognized Sokolski as one of the ten key individuals whose ideas will help shape the policy debate on the future of nuclear weapons. In 2009, President Obama spotlighted nuclear territories as one of the top threats to international security, launching an international effort to identify, secure, and dispose of global stocks of weapons-usable nuclear materials namely highly enriched uranium and weapons-grade plutonium. Since that time, three nuclear security summits have been held, along with scores of studies and workshops (official and unofficial), drawing sustained high-level attention to the threat posed by these materials. However, little attention has been given to incidences where sensitive nuclear materials actually went missing. This volume seeks to correct this deficiency, examining incidences of material unaccounted (MUF) for arising from the U.S. and South African nuclear weapons programs, plutonium gone missing from Japanese and British civilian production facilities, and a theft of highly enriched uranium from a U.S. military contractor in the 1960s that was used to help fuel Israel's nuclear weapons program. This volume also questions the likelihood that International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) would be able to detect diversions of fissile materials, whether large or small, and the likelihood that a state could or would do anything were diversion detected. What emerges from this book is an assessment of how likely we are able to account for past MUF quantities or to be able to prevent future ones. U.S. policymakers, military analysts, and international diplomats may be interested in the findings within this document that references the absence of fissile materials and the sensitivities that surround the countries with missing materials.

The Congress was concerned that under President Hugo Chavez, Venezuela tolerated terrorists on its soil and forged close relationships with officially designated state sponsors of terrorism: Cuba, Iran, and North Korea.

Wraps. Zustand: Very good. 19, [13] pages. Mostly printed on both sides of a sheet. Sheets/project posters on several IPP projects are included at the back of this document. This year's report covers a year that involved a number of exciting developments in the Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention (IPP) program. The program receives a significant vote of confidence for its commercialization focus, with for successful IPP projects attracting $56 million in private venture capital funds. These funds were in addition to the already substantial contribution from U.S. industry partners, who more than match U.S. government funding on each new IPP project. The IPP program also resumed operation in Kazakhstan and Ukraine, adding the scientific talent of these countries to the technology resource base now available to U.S. industry partners. The program's nonproliferation objectives are met with increasing success, as a growing number of former Soviet weapons scientists are engaged, both in the course of ongoing work as well as in the jobs that are being created by successfully completed IPP projects. Preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction is a central part of US national security policy. A principal instrument of the Department of Energy`s (DOE`s) program for securing weapons of mass destruction technology and expertise and removing incentives for scientists, engineers and technicians in the newly independent states (NIS) of the former Soviet Union to go to rogue countries or assist terrorist groups is the Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention (IPP). IPP was initiated pursuant to the 1994 Foreign Operations Appropriations Act. IPP is a nonproliferation program with a commercialization strategy. IPP seeks to enhance US national security and to achieve nonproliferation objectives by engaging scientists, engineers and technicians from former NIS weapons institutes; redirecting their activities in cooperatively-developed, commercially viable non-weapons related projects. These projects lead to commercial and economic benefits for both the NIS and the US IPP projects are funded in Russian, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus. This booklet offers an overview of the IPP program as well as a sampling of some of the projects which are currently underway. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus.
