Copyright ©1985 Fusion Energy Foundation Editorial Policy The International Journal of Fusion Energy (IJFE) is an independent scientific journal published quarterly by the Fusion Energy Foundation. The IJFE is dedicated to the promotion of fundamental advance in science, with special emphasis on the following areas: 1. The physics of plasmas at high energy densities, and research bearing on the scientific and technological mastery of nuclear fusion processes. 2. Coherent, directed forms of electromagnetic action, including laser and particle beams and superconductivity. 3. The physics of living processes, with applications to fundamental problems of biology and medicine. In addition to research articles and state-of-the-art reviews, the IJFE welcomes short, informal communications addressing questions of interest to researchers and others in the cited areas. Contributions in other fields will be accepted on the basis of extraordinary scientific interest or manifest relevance to the three specific fields covered by the journal. IJFE will also run abstracts of relevant, recent published and unpublished work as a regular service to the reader. The editors will be grateful for references to significant new work, not previously covered in the abstracts and other departments of the journal.

All three areas of work are closely interrelated: the first two areas obviously so; the con­ nections of the first two to nonlinear spectroscopy may be less apparent to most at first glance, but the connections are nonetheless significant and even profound. The study of negentropic processes in plasma physics and biology has been at the center of the Fusion Energy Foundation's attention since the activities of 1973-1975 that led into the formation of the FEF 10 years ago. The devotion to this continuing point of reference, over the intervening years, implies that the time has come to expand as much as possible the role which the the IJFE assumes in aid of progress in the three, interrelated areas. Some Relevant Points From the Background Over the past 10 years, we have devoted a relatively large ration of our effort to the subject of nuclear fission energy-production. In retrospect, the Foundation should be satisfied that its support for fission energy is both practically and scientifically coherent with our primary, longer-range commitment to devel­ opment of "commercial" forms of fusion energy applications. Scientifically, and in matters of design and construction of energy-producing systems, fission en­ ergy and the "first generation" (at least) of "commercial" fusion-based energy production overlap most substantially. Practically, the wider application of fission energy systems is economically indispensable to provide the ration of energy- flux-density per capita needed for the transition to a fusion-based economy. The Foundation should, and will continue to treat fission energy matters with those leading points in mind. However, fusion energy was and remains our first and abiding love. There is another leading aspect of the work of the FEF during these past 10 years, typified by the Foundation's participation in elaborating the LaRouche- Riemann method of economic analysis and forecasting. The germ of a qualitative advance in economic science began to be developed from 1952 onwards, in the discovery made then by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., that Riemann's program in mathematical physics provided implicitly a solution to the problem of correlating changes of rates in technological progress with changes in rates of real economic growth. By "economic science," as opposed to what is taught in universities as "economics," today, we signify the devel­ opment of the science of "physical economy" begun by Gottfried Leibniz during his work of the period 1672-1716, a branch of physical science centered upon the coherence of Leibniz's Principle of Least Action and his discovery of the concept named "technology." 4 International Journal of Fusion Energy, Vol. 3, No. 1, January 1985 Whereas Leibniz's thermodynamical definition of "technology" was a contin­ uation of the directions in synthetic geometry's applications to physics set into motion by Nicholas of Cusa, Luca Pacioli, and Leonardo da Vinci, beginning with the work of Karl Gauss on self-similar conic-spiral functions and the fusion of the work of the contributions of the 1794-1814 Ecole Polytechnique with German science, beginning 1815-1827, a new, and more profound development emerged within physical synthetic geometry, the (synthetic-geometrical) notions of functions of a complex variable.This represented the most fundamental ad­ vance in the underlying assumptions of mathematics in more than 2,000 years, an accomplishment associated most prominently with the work of Gauss, Le- jeune Dirichlet, Bernhard Riemann, and their collaborators. For reason of various and readily located causes, the bearing of these advances in mathematical physics on Leibniz's earlier definitions for physical economy was overlooked, until LaRouche stumbled upon this, beginning in 1952. True, the Russian, one-time associate of the Pasteur Institute, Professor Vladimir I. Vernadsky, is notable among those who emphasized, beginning in the early 1920s, the relevance of Riemannian physics to both fission energy production and matters of geobiochemistry, which implies the connection to physical econ­ omy,* but the originality of LaRouche's discovery of the connection of Rie­ mannian physics to economic science stands, nonetheless. As Leibniz's elaboration of physical economy implies, the placement of tech­ nology and thermodynamics in the underlying formulation of mathematical functions of economic science, places those subject matters properly at the center of economic policy-shaping. As a corollary, it also obliges scientists treating those subject matters to emulate the characteristic feature of that "crash program" known as the Carnot-Monge Ecole Polytechnique, to take the physical economy's priorities into account in setting general and broad priorities for laboratory and related work. During December 1978, in the course of two FEF seminars held in New York City on the subject of Riemann's 1859 paper, "Propagation of Plane Air Waves of Finite Magnitude,"

  • Tickling the Sleeping Dragon's Tail: Should We Resume Nuclear Testing?
    TICKLING THE SLEEPING DRAGON’S TAIL Should We Resume Nuclear Testing? National Security Report Michael Frankel | James Scouras | George Ullrich TICKLING THE SLEEPING DRAGON’S TAIL Should We Resume Nuclear Testing? Michael Frankel James Scouras George Ullrich Copyright © 2021 The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC. All Rights Reserved. “Tickling the sleeping dragon’s tail” is a metaphor for risking severe consequences by taking an unnecessary provocative action. Its origin can be traced to the last year of the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in 1946. When investigating the critical mass of plutonium, LANL scientists usually brought two halves of a beryllium reflecting shell surrounding a fissile core closer together, observing the increase in reaction rate via a scintillation counter. They manually forced the two half-shells closer together by gripping them through a thumbhole at the top, while as a safety precaution, keeping the shells from completely closing by inserting shims. However, the habit of Louis Slotin was to remove the shims and keep the shells separated by manually inserting a screwdriver. Enrico Fermi is reported to have warned Slotin and others that they would be “dead within a year” if they continued this procedure. One day the screwdriver slipped, allowing the two half-shells to completely close, and the increased reflectivity drove the core toward criticality. Slotin immediately flipped the top half-shell loose with a flick of the screwdriver, but by then he had endured

  • Thirty Minutes Before the Dawn—Trinity Alan B
    Submitted to ANS/NT (2021), LA-UR-21-21007 Thirty Minutes Before the Dawn—Trinity Alan B. Carr* Los Alamos National Laboratory Los Alamos, NM 87545 The Trinity test of July 16, 1945, marked the scientific apex of the Manhattan Project. Often recognized as the symbolic birth of the nuclear age, Trinity’s multifaceted legacy remains just as captivating and complex today as it did 75 years ago. This paper examines why the test was necessary from a technical standpoint, shows how Los Alamos scientists planned the event, and explores the physical and emotional aftermaths of Trinity. The author also uses rarely accessed original records to reconstruct the story of Trinity’s health hazards, as seen through the eyes of radiation technicians and medical doctors as events unfolded. Trinity was conducted as the Potsdam Conference began, weeks after the collapse of Nazi Germany. It was considered necessary to let President Harry S. Truman know whether the United States possessed a nuclear capability ahead of his negotiations with Joseph Stalin, the Soviet premier. The author examines the competing priorities that drove the timetable for the test: international politics, security, and safety. Three weeks after Trinity, a gun-assembled enriched-uranium bomb called Little Boy was used against the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later, Fat Man, a weaponized version of the imploding Trinity device, was dropped on Nagasaki. The author briefly examines these strikes and what impact they may have had on the Japanese surrender. The paper concludes by examining the legacy of the Trinity test 75 years into the age it helped usher in.
