REPORT

Attention to Societal Priorities Can Help Guide Nuclear Waste Management Policy — Nov 15, 2010

To break the impasse over how to deal with spent nuclear fuel from commercial nuclear power plants policymakers should focus on how various waste management strategies address societal priorities related to nuclear energy.

NEWS RELEASE

Attention to Societal Priorities Can Help Guide Nuclear Waste Management Policy — Nov 15, 2010

To break the impasse over how to deal with spent nuclear fuel from commercial nuclear power plants, policymakers should focus on how various waste management strategies address societal priorities related to nuclear energy.

REPORT

Policy Implications of Alternative Spent Nuclear Fuel Management Strategies — Nov 8, 2010

Testimony presented before the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future on November 15, 2010.

REPORT

Managing Waste With and Without Plutonium Separation — Dec 31, 1998

This study examines whether reprocessing and plutonium recycle will make radioactive waste management more effective and economical.

JOURNAL ARTICLE

PGMs: Changing Weapon Priorities, New Risks, New Opportunities — Dec 31, 1975

Discusses questions raised by the new wide availability of precision guided munitions (PGMs). Nonnuclear PGMs make smaller states and NATO more defensible, thus short-run stability is increased. PGMs will play an important part in making or countering a threat to use limited nuclear force.

Bands of D2 and T2 originating from the lowest excited 1Sigma g states (1s sigma)(2s sigma)1Sigma g and (2p sigma) squared 1Sigma g — Dec 31, 1964

Bands of the two extensive band systems (1Sigma g) (2s sigma)1Sigma g to (1Sigma g) (2p sigma)1Sigma g and (2p sigma) squared 1Sigma g to (1Sigma g) (2p sigma)1Sigma u of D2 and T2 are presented.

JOURNAL ARTICLE

Scattering of Light By Light in Plasmas — Dec 31, 1963

A quantum-mechanical calculation of the scattering rate of light by light in the polarizable medium of a plasma is carried out.

JOURNAL ARTICLE

Green's Functions for One-Velocity Neutron Transport in a One-Dimensional Slab and Sphere — Dec 31, 1963

The memorandum presents an exact and efficient method of computing a well-defined resolvent, or Green's function, for one-velocity neutron transport or radiative transfer in a one-dimensional slab or sphere with isotropic scattering.

JOURNAL ARTICLE

Spectral Analysis of the Anisotropic Neutron Transport Kernel in Slab Geometry with Applications — Dec 31, 1963

A spectral analysis of the transport kernel for anisotropic scattering in finite slabs is achieved by first solving a type of generalized scattering problem for a subcritical slab.
