WE of NRDL ...................... 56 i -CHAPTER I -- 1961 - EXPANDED HORIZONS The year was characterized by new demands on the Laboratory's capabilities from four broad areas: planningfor possible weapons tests; use of radioactivity for space missions; examination of the sea environ- ment; and shelter research. With the possibility that nuclear weapons tests would have to be ini- tiated without sufficient lead time, the Laboratory has had to remain capable of planning and executing a field test on short notice. The use of SNAP devices for powering satellite and space vehicles and the safety problems associated with their launching increased Labo- ratory work in this area. More intense interest in the paths of radioactivity in the sea environ- ment and the possible need to detect weapons testing underwater has in- creased this work. The establishment of the national shelter program, under the Depart- ment of Defense and consolidation of its research effort have increased the need for work in this area by NRDL. NRDL'S PARENT ORGANIZATION, BUSHIPS. COMFS OF AGE The Bureau of Ships. NRDL's parent organization. was 21 years old on 20 June 1961. To mark this occasion the Chief of the Bureau, RADM R. K. James, wrote: ". NRDL has won an international reputation for the numerous contributions it has made in its new and esoteric field.. .the research and development.. .highlights the important national role.. The contributions.. are proving beneficial to the whole country.. " To celebrate this date a world map and photo display of BuShips ac- tivities was mounted in the Lobby; a special edition of the bi-weekly BUL- LETIN was published; and the Lab picnic was held earlier than usual - - Saturday, 24 June. Also NRDLERS were encouraged to invite their fami- lies to visit the Laboratory during the week of 19- 23 June. -1- 357 358 ! BUIH PS COME5 Of AGE - 21'' BIRTHDAY WEEK ANOTHER MILESTONE -- Chic!, Hayashi, Graphic Developments Branch, shows the exhibit which he created to Captain Rorh. It wasmountedon cherear wall of rheNRDL lobby during BuShips 21st Birthday week in June 1961. Now 11 is alongside the otherex- hibits a1 the 6th floor display area. -3- NEW ASSOCIATE SCIENTIFIC DIRECTOR Returning to NRDL from a Scientific Liaison Officer assignment in Europe with the Office of Naval Research, Dr. Edward R. Tompkins, for- mer Head of the Chemical Technology Divlsion, on 1 November 1961 filled the position of Acting Assaciate Scientific Director. Dr. Tompkins first came to NRDL in May 1951 as a research consultant and radiological chem- ist. In December 0: that year he was promoted to Head of the Chemical T echnology Division. He left here in June 1960 to accept the position with the Office of Naval Research. From a "home" office in London, England, he traveled throughout Europe visiting institutions where research in nuclear, physi- cal and inorganic chemistry is conducted. He prepared technical reports describing this research for distribution in the U. S. , attended scientific meetings in Europe and prepared conference reports on them. A native of Winterset, Iowa, Dr. Tompkins received his A. E. degree from Greeley State (Colo. ) in 1931. He taught high school science for six years before entering the University of California Graduate School. Following receipt of his Ph. D. degree in biochemistry in 1942, he was a research chemist for the Armour Research Corp. andtheMetallurgi- cal Laboratories (now the Argonne National Laboratory). Next he went to the Clinton Laboratory (now Oak Ridge National Laboratory) as a group leader, and late in 1947 aided in establishing the Advisory Field Service for the Isotope Division of the Atomic Energy Commission at Oak Ridge. In 1948 Dr. Tompkins came to Berkeley to help establish a firm to make equipment for the safe handling of radioisotopes. About a year later, after the products had been developed and were being marketed, he joined the University of California Radiation Laboratory staff. He remained there until he came to NRDL in 1951. STROPE SELECTED AS DOD,OCD RandD DIRECTOR Walmer E. Strope. Associate Scientific Director, who played a major role in NRDL'S group shelter project, was appointed Director of Re- search and Development uneer the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Civil Defense when this post was created late in the year. Earlier in 1961, he and Dr. R. R. Newell, Medical Consultant, were named as members of California Governor Edmund G. Brown's Radiologi- cal Defense Advisory Committee. - 4- 360 i OTHER MAJOR PERSONNEL CHANGES CIVILIAN Dr. Lewis H. Gevantman became Head of the Chemical Technology Division in January after serving as Acting Head for about six months. Dr. William E. Kreger. Head of the Nuclear Radiation Physics Branch, was appointed Head of the Nucleonics Division during the absence of Dr. C.Sharp Cook. (See page 41) MILITARY CDR Gale L. Bergey, USN, reported aboard in September to head the newly established Naval Radiological Control Office, Code 160. (See Organizational Changes, page 8) CDR Martin 0. Greaney, Jr.. MC, USN, replaced CAPT H. S. Etter. MC, USN, as Radiological Medical Director and Bureau of Medicine and Surgery Program Officer. CDR R. W. King, USN, Senior Program Officer. was replaced by LCDR T. W. Robinson, USN, the Bureau of Ships Program Officer. LT Kenton Hypes, Jr., MSC, USN, headed the Military Personnel Division, replacing LCDR R. L. Thompson, MSC, USN. LT C. H. Brown, MC, USNR, became the new Radiological Health Division Officer, replacing LT David Katz, MC, USNR. Dr. Katz was re- leased from the Navy and accepted a position as a radiologist with the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission in Japan. Early in the year Dr. Katz was certified in radiology and nuclear medicine by the American Board of Radio logy. - 6- 362 r U - 7- 363 ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES The chart on the preceding page shows graphically the organization of NRDL as of 31 December 1961. Changes made during the year include: After careful review, in April the following Boards and Committees were found to have served their purpose and were dropped: Director's Council; Working Group; and Accelerator Scheduling and Computer Sched- uling Committees. Also in April, the RADCON Team Office, Code 160, with an Officer- in-Charge, was established to provide emergency radiological control measures in the areas specified by CNO. (See pages 29-31) In August, a separate Branch was re-established within the Biological and Medical Sciences Division to perform functions relating to radionuclide metabolism and internal deposition. It was titled the Biophysics Branch (Code 923). The former Biophysics Branch was redesignated

  • Montenegro: Berth of a Nation Globe and Mail / Eric Reguly / August 1, 2008
    Montenegro: Berth of a nation Globe and Mail / Eric Reguly / August 1, 2008 Budva, Montenegro — Peter Munk and I are plunked in the library of the “Te Manu,” a spotless white floating palace built in Italy, owned by a Mexican, named after the Polynesian word for “bird” and chartered for the week by the chairman and acting CEO of Barrick Gold and his family. The yacht is anchored in Budva, a medieval town turned bustling resort on the coast of Montenegro, one of the breakaway republics of the shredded Yugoslavia. It has four levels, a crew of 11 and an interior clad with cherry and walnut panelling. At 49.4 metres (160 feet), it is one of the biggest and most expensive of its kind in the rarefied world of superyachts – generally defined as crewed pleasure boats of 30 metres or longer. This baby rents for $175,000 to $210,000 (U.S.) a week. On this hot summer day the Te Manu is more than a boat. It is also Mr. Munk's office. But the affairs of the world's biggest gold company are not on his mind. Porto Montenegro is. The table next to the library is strewn with notes, plans and diagrams for the superyacht marina and luxury resort that is the billionaire's newest and most glamorous project. He and his high-profile backers recently became Montenegro's biggest foreign investors, with their €260-million-plus ($405- million) plan to make Porto Montenegro the Mediterranean's, perhaps the world's, premier superyacht destination. Gold magnate Peter Munk and an A-list of global investors are pumping more than US$400-million into the Porto Montenegro project.

    UNITED NATIONS S Security Council Distr. GENERAL S/1997/506 1 July 1997 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL ON THE UNITED NATIONS MISSION OF OBSERVERS IN PREVLAKA I. INTRODUCTION 1. The present report is submitted pursuant to paragraph 5 of Security Council resolution 1093 (1997) of 14 January 1997, in which the Council requested me to submit by 5 July 1997 a report on the situation in the Prevlaka peninsula as well as on progress made by the Republic of Croatia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia towards a settlement which would peacefully resolve their differences. 2. The United Nations Mission of Observers in Prevlaka (UNMOP) consists of 28 United Nations military observers (see annex) headed by a Chief Military Observer, Colonel Harold Mwakio Tangai (Kenya). The current mandate of the mission expires on 15 July 1997. 3. In accordance with resolution 1093 (1997), UNMOP continues to monitor the demilitarization of the Prevlaka peninsula and of the neighbouring areas in Croatia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia by carrying out vehicle and foot patrols on both sides of the border, except when prevented from doing so by restrictions of movement imposed by one party or the other. As part of its work, the mission holds regular meetings with local authorities in order to strengthen liaison, reduce tension, improve safety and security and promote confidence between the parties. In that context, the Chief Military Observer maintained contacts with the authorities in Zagreb, Belgrade and Podgorica in order to address issues arising from resolution 1093 (1997). Cooperation between UNMOP and the multinational stabilization force is maintained through regular meetings.
