The dedicated people who work at and with FAS believe in the value of scientific inquiry and its necessity in forming sound public policy. Such policy requires credible, relevant information and analysis. FAS is committed to providing reliable sources of information and reasoned analysis to enhance the public’s and policymakers’ understanding of ways to reduce risks to security. FAS’s current programs have focused on preventing use and further proliferation of nuclear and biological weapons, improving strategic nuclear stability between China and the United States, assessing ways to improve safety and security of nuclear power for peaceful purposes, and working to reduce the scope of official secrecy and to promote public access to national security information by seeking reform of national security classification and declassification policies. To accomplish this ambitious agenda, FAS has an organizational structure and experts’ network that consists of three approaches. First, FAS has built on the outstanding achievements of the almost quarter century-long Project on Government Secrecy, which has received accolades from across the political spectrum, and the Nuclear Information Project, which is entering its second decade as a highly trusted source of information and analysis on nuclear weapons and governmental policies on use of these weapons. People around the world depend on FAS to shine a spotlight on the practices of governments in secrecy and nuclear weapons. Second, during the past two years, FAS has created task forces that have brought together a diverse set of technical and policy experts to examine critical security problems. The first two of these task forces are already having profound effects on public policy. For example, the Task Force on Nuclear Verification Capabilities on the Iranian Nuclear Agreement has counseled policymakers about how to effectively implement the agreement with Iran. The Task Force on Naval Nuclear Propulsion and Highly Enriched Uranium comprised a team of younger and more seasoned practitioners from the physical sciences, nuclear engineering, and political science. This team guided policymakers with practical recommendations to phase out the use of weapons-grade uranium in naval fuel so as to prevent diversion of that material into nuclear weapons made by states or into improvised nuclear explosives made by terrorists. Third, FAS has benefited from having many world-class engineers, scientists, lawyers, and political scientists work part-time as adjunct senior fellows and visiting research fellows. They have contributed by writing insightful blog articles, op-eds, scholarly articles, and in-depth special reports, and they have represented FAS in conferences and workshops around the world. FAS has also FAS 2015 Annual Report Page 3 served as a host for research fellows from Japan who have devoted their fellowships to advancing greater cooperation between the United States and Japan on nuclear safety, safeguards, and security. Through networking, FAS has greatly extended its reach and enhanced its capacity to educate policymakers about the value of science and scientific reasoning for a more secure world. Moreover, FAS has published the Public Interest Report (PIR) for more than 40 years. The PIR and its forerunner FAS newsletter (published from 1946 to the 1970s) have been a platform to explore innovative ideas for arms control and global security and to educate fellow citizens who understand the importance of science-based analysis and evidence in guiding public policy. This report lists articles published in 2015. We at FAS could not accomplish these programs without the support of our loyal members and the generous contributions from government agencies and private foundations as mentioned and thanked in this report. Thank you for your interest in and support of FAS! FAS 2015 Annual Report Page 4 The Federation of American Scientists (FAS) provides science-based analysis of and solutions to protect against catastrophic threats to national and international security. Specifically, FAS works to reduce the spread and number of nuclear weapons, prevent nuclear and radiological terrorism, promote high standards for nuclear energy’s safety and security, illuminate government secrecy practices, as well as prevent the use of biological and chemical weapons. FAS was founded as the Federation of Atomic Scientists in November 1945 (and was rebranded as the Federation of American Scientists in February 1946) by many of the Manhattan Project scientists who wanted to prevent nuclear war, and it is one of the longest serving organizations in the world dedicated to reducing nuclear and other catastrophic threats and informing the public debate by providing technically-based research and analysis on these issues. FAS is a non-profit membership organization, with members from the academic, non-profit, and government communities as well as support from concerned citizens. FAS hosts a wide range of events, including briefings and symposiums, with government officials, policy experts, scientists, and engineers on issues related to international and national security. FAS convenes awards ceremonies to recognize and commend contributions by outstanding scientists and political leaders to science and international security. The awards include the FAS Public Service Award, the Hans Bethe Award, and the Richard L. Garwin Award. FAS staff and adjunct fellows comprise a highly skilled and dedicated team with professional experience in aeronautical engineering, biology, biochemistry, chemistry, environmental science, law, nuclear engineering, physics, and political science. Members of the Board of Sponsors, including over 60 Nobel laureates, are influential figures from the scientific and international communities who endorse FAS’s mission. Advisory Board members work with FAS staff on projects of mutual interest, share professional expertise, and provide other methods of support to enhance the organization’s mission and programs. FAS 2015 Annual Report Page 5 Listed in reverse chronological order from October 2015 to December 2014 The Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a transparency implementation plan on October 27, 2015 that establishes guidelines for increasing public disclosure of information by and about U.S. intelligence agencies.

  • On the Morning After the Thirteenth Session of the General Conference Finished the New Board of Governors Began Its Work. At
    new board starts its work On the morning after the thirteenth session of the General Conference finished the new Board of Governors began its work. At its first meeting the members elected their new Chairman and approved proposed agreements which will voluntarily place more reactors under safeguards control. The election of Sir Philip Baxter, K.B.E., C.M.G., of Australia as Chairman was unanimous. Sir Philip, who is Chairman of the Australian Atomic Energy Commission, took part in the early discussions which led to the foundation of the Agency and since then has almost con­ tinuously been Australia's Member of the Board. He succeeds Dr. A. Asian Afshar, Iranian Ambassador to Austria and Member of the Board, who in fact was attending his last meeting before taking up his new assignment as Ambassador to the United States. Mr. Helio F.S. Bittencourt (Brazil) and Academician F.B. Straub (Hungary) were elected Vice-Chairmen. Their predecessors were Mr. John A. McCordick (Canadian Ambassador to Austria) and Professor Stanlislaw Andrezejewski (Poland). The Kanupp nuclear power station at Karachi in Pakistan is among the nuclear facilities which will be placed under Agency safeguards follow­ ing a voluntary request by Canada and Pakistan. They intend to sign an agreement, transferring to the Agency the right to apply safeguards to materials, equipment and facilities used in their co-operative work. They will also undertake that their joint efforts will be only for peaceful purposes. The Board approved the proposal. 13 Sir Philip Baxter, new Chairman of the Board of Governors. Kanupp is a pressurized heavy water reactor which will generate 137 megawatts of electricity and is expected to begin operating next year.

  • The Beryllia Project 4.1 Introduction the Australian Atomic Energy
    95 4 WE NEED SECRETS TO TRADE: The Beryllia Project 4.1 Introduction The Australian Atomic Energy Commission, in 1954, had a head office, a scientific staff, most of whom were overseas training at Harwell, and a local administrative staff. It now needed a project. Ideally the project could be used for further training of staff, but more importantly it had to be in an area that was not the focus of other research groups. Since atomic energy research had come under the 'defence' banner on the international stage (not just Australia), Australia needed its own secrets to trade with other nations. Australia aimed to join the nuclear club**™" as a full and independent member. Australia also wanted a nuclear reactor. There was some debate as what type of reactor was wanted. Tom Playford, the Premier of South Australia had no doubts, he wanted a power reactor for his state. Playford was a great advocate of South Australian industrialisation, immigration and state economic independence. South Australia had the uranium deposits to run such a reactor and the state needed power to become industrialised. Further, as a state with very limited water supplies, a nuclear reactor sited near the ocean could also act as a desalination plant. Playford would attempt to convince the Commonwealth to allow a nuclear reactor to be established in South Australia. This reactor would never be planned let alone developed. This chapter will focus on the research work that was conducted within the AAEC in the period up to approximately 1967. The early period of research xxxviS In 1954 the 'nuclear club' included the US, Britain, Canada, France, and the USSR.

Introduction 2. Essay - Australian nuclear weapons: the story so far 3. Nautilus invites your response Introduction Richard Broinowski, former diplomat and author of the 2003 study Fact or Fission - the Truth about Australia's Nuclear Ambitions, writes that "in his call for a 'full-blooded' nuclear debate, Prime Minister Howard probably doesn't wish to see such a taboo subject raised." But, says Broinowski, "for more than three decades Australian politicians and military, scientific and cabinet officials conducted a campaign to persuade the government of the day to acquire or develop nuclear weapons. The fact is that Australia has the resources and technology to develop its own nuclear weapons." The views expressed in this article are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Nautilus Institute. Readers should note that Nautilus seeks a diversity of views and opinions on contentious topics in order to identify common ground. 1 Essay - Australian nuclear weapons: the story so far Most Australians are unaware that for more than three decades Australian politicians and military, scientific and cabinet officials conducted a campaign to persuade the government of the day to acquire or develop nuclear weapons. Many of their considerations were carried out in secret, although there was some vociferous public debate in the press and on university campuses as well.

  • Introduction
    1 INTRODUCTION The Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) came into existence by the passage of an Act of Parliament in 1953 and as an organisation ceased to exist, again by an Act of Parliament, in 1987. It was replaced by a different organisation; the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). The AAEC and its successor organisation ANSTO have generated more controversy and have had a greater fluctuation in fortunes than their 'sister1 organisation, the CSIRO. The AAEC was established in a period of excitement in which science and technology were seen to be the vehicle by which nations could achieve the desired riches of high technology that were seen as essential in modern life. This is a short history of the Australian Atomic Energy Commission. The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Agency (UKAEA) and the United States Atomic Energy Commission (USAEC) both have official histories. Margaret Gowing's work on the UKAEA is a three volume history" which traces the development of the organisation from both a political and scientific perspective. The USAEC has an even longer and more detailed history which runs to some four volumes, each of which has been written by teams of authors". Both these histories were commissioned by their respective organisations and in both cases the authors of these histories have had access to vast archival material to assist them in their work. A history of the development of nuclear power in France1 has also been written recently and this also is a detailed and long document.
