  • Out-Digging Nuclear Bunker Busters
    Earth Penetrating Nuclear Warheads against Deep Targets: Concepts, Countermeasures, and Consequences. Ivan Oelrich Blake Purnell Scott Drewes Federation of American Scientists April 2005 Attacking “hard and deeply buried” targets is the chief justification for developing new capabilities for nuclear weapons or even a new generation of nuclear weapons. The proposed Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator (RNEP) and possible future nuclear weapons are specifically designed to destroy underground facilities. This paper very briefly examines the concept of how and why nuclear earth penetrating weapons would be used, a possible countermeasure, and the consequences of their use. We find that attacking underground targets with nuclear weapons is conceptually unsound, countermeasures are available, and the consequences of an attack would be grave.1 Concept of Use When evaluating any new military system, we have to ask: what military problem it is meant to solve, what are the different ways of solving that problem, and how does this proposed system compare to alternative approaches? When applying these questions to nuclear earth penetrators, it quickly becomes apparent that the problem used to justify them is contrived and implausible. The problem is contrived because it is artificially 1 This paper extends two previous studies on nuclear attack of underground targets. The first, Robert Nelson, “Low-Yield Earth-Penetrating Nuclear Weapons,” Science & Global Security Vol 10. No. 1, pp 1- 20, 2002, considered low yield weapons, and showed that even small weapons would not be contained and would release substantial amounts of radioactivity. The second, Michael Levi, Fire in the Hole: Nuclear and Non-Nuclear Options for Counterproliferation, Working Paper 31 (Washington, DC: Carnegie Institute for International Peace, November 2002), considers large yield nuclear weapons but focues on locating targets, on hard but shallow targets, and on conventional alternatives.

  • Field Research Uncovering the Bunker
    See, but not Seen: Field Research Uncovering the Bunker Olle Stjerne 2016 BA Thesis Tutor: Christel Vesters I was most impressed by a feeling, internal and external, of being immediately crushed. The battered walls sunk into the ground gave this small blockhouse a solid base; a dune had invaded the interior space, and the thick layer of sand over the wooden floor made the place ever narrower. Some clothes and bicycles had been hidden here; the object no longer made the same sense, though there was still protection here. Paul Virilio I turned the numbers of the dial, 5… 2… 5… 9… The padlock opened and the heavy chain rattled through the ringers of the blast door and fell to the ground with a heavy clatter. I pushed on the reinforced steel, and slowly the door came open, revealing nothing but darkness. I had been permitted to explore the big bunker, a former radio control central at Bungenäs. It had been abandoned by the military, but not before the soldiers had removed all equipment and smashed the interior, leaving it an empty, cold maze of concrete corridors. Some parts were recognizable as bathrooms, but the faucets, showers and toilets were gone; other rooms had pipes leading nowhere. I had heard from my friend Kees, an artist working with nuclear bunkers, that in every bunker he ever visited, it was always the same: the soldiers had left nothing but the last chair for the last man to sit on. 3 1.

The English colonists brought a tradition of militia service and a fear of standing armies to America. Once in America, the colonies formed their own militias, using them for defense and then later for offensive operations. At the time of the American Revolution the American colonies had to combine the militia with an army. The fear of a standing army hindered the Continental Army, and then later the American Army, from being an effective force.

Present Owner: National Capital Region, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior Present Occupant: Various park units in the National Capital Region Present Use: Park and recreational facilities Significance: The Civilian Conservation Corps activities in the National Capital Region of the National Park Service illustrate the important role of this program in employing out-of-work youth to create a national recreation infrastructure during the 1930s. The National Capital Region work represents a mix of rural and urban projects indicative of CCC initiatives in metropolitan areas. While not as well-known as the rustic architecture built by the CCC for national parks in wilderness areas, the Washington-area CCC camps participated in many types of construction and tasks including parkways, picnic groves, erosion control, playgrounds, athletic fields, historical restorations, and Recreational Demonstration Area camping facilities. Many of these projects formed the basis for later expansion of recreational amenities in the National Capital Region. Historians: Lisa Pfueller Davidson (overview narrative), James A.
