Marking, Rendering Inert, and Licensing of Explosive Materials:
This book, a response to increased concern by the American public over illegal bombings, examines possible mechanisms for reducing this threat. The committee examined four approaches to reducing the bombing threat: addition of detection markers to explosives for preblast detection, addition of identification taggants to explosives for postblast identification of bombers, possible means of rendering common explosive materials inert, and placement of controls on explosives and their precursors. The book makes several recommendations to reduce the number of criminal bombings in this country.
Containing the Threat from Illegal Bombings
In response to the rising concern of the American public over illegal bombings, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms asked the National Research Council to examine possible mechanisms for reducing this threat. The committee examined four approaches to reducing the bombing threat: addition of detection markers to explosives for pre-blast detection, addition of identification taggants to explosives for post-blast identification of bombers, possible means to render common explosive materials inert, and placing controls on explosives and their precursors. The book makes several recommendations to reduce the number of criminal bombings in this country.

Black and Smokeless Powders
Some 600 pipe bomb explosions have occurred annually in the United States during the past several years. How can technology help protect the public from these homemade devices? This book, a response to a Congressional mandate, focuses on ways to improve public safety by preventing bombings involving smokeless or black powders and apprehending the makers of the explosive devices. It examines technologies used for detection of explosive devices before they explodeâ€"including the possible addition of marking agents to the powdersâ€"and technologies used in criminal investigations for identification of these powdersâ€"including the possible addition of taggants to the powdersâ€"in t...
Law and Science
Law and Science: Cases and Materials is a case-based approach to introducing the interdisciplinary relationship between science, engineering, technology, and law. The format of the book examines different perspectives in this interdisciplinary relationship. Sutton first introduces historical cases with a scientific aspect and then offers other cases which may be familiar to the reader, but which are examined from a scientific perspective as well as the more familiar legal perspective. The major sections of the book address the public sector and science and the law; the private sector and science and the law; and the future of the relationship from the perspective of scientists as well as of ...
The Network Reshapes the Library
Since he began posting in 2003, Dempsey has used his blog to explore nearly every important facet of library technology, from the emergence of Web 2.0 as a concept to open source ILS tools and the push to web-scale library management systems.
Transparency in Nuclear Warheads and Materials
These studies address the technical means and procedures for establishing transparency in nuclear warheads and materials in the nuclear weapons states.
Advances in High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor Fuel Technology
This publication reports on the results of a coordinated research project on advances in high temperature gas cooled reactor (HTGR) fuel technology and describes the findings of research activities on coated particle developments. These comprise two specific benchmark exercises with the application of HTGR fuel performance and fission product release codes, which helped compare the quality and validity of the computer models against experimental data. The project participants also examined techniques for fuel characterization and advanced quality assessment/quality control. The key exercise included a round-robin experimental study on the measurements of fuel kernel and particle coating properties of recent Korean, South African and US coated particle productions applying the respective qualification measures of each participating Member State. The summary report documents the results and conclusions achieved by the project and underlines the added value to contemporary knowledge on HTGR fuel.
Manhattan
The U.S. Army played a key role in the formation and administration of the Manhattan Project, the World War II organization which produced the atomic bombs that not only contributed decisively to ending the war with Japan but also opened the way to a new atomic age. This volume describes how the wartime Army, already faced with the enormous responsibility of mobilizing, training, and deploying vast forces to fight a formidable enemy on far-flung fronts in Europe and the Pacific, responded to the additional task of organizing and administering what was to become the single largest technological project of its kind undertaken up to that time. To meet this challenge, the Army-drawing first upon...
