    United States General Accounting Office Resources, Community, and Economic GAO Development Division December 1995 Energy and Science: Five-Year Bibliography 1990-1994 GAO/RCED-96-7W Preface The General Accounting Office (GAO), an arm of the Congress, was established to provide independent oversight of federal programs and activities. GAO’s Energy and Science Issue Area examines the activities of such entities as the Department of Energy, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the Patent and Trademark Office. The Issue Area’s work generally focuses on examining the role and continued need for a federal presence in these areas, exposing incidences of waste and mismanagement, and promoting a smaller, more efficient, and cost-effective government. Organized by our four primary areas of responsibility, this 5-year bibliography lists the energy- and science-related products issued from January 1990 through December 1994. The products are listed chronologically, with the most recent reports first. To help you locate individual reports, a subject index is included in the back of this document.

  • U.S. Atmospheric Nuclear Tests
    U.S. NUCLEAR TESTING FROM PROJECT TRINITY TO THE PLOWSHARE PROGRAM [From For the Record – A History of the Nuclear Test Personnel Review Program, 1978-1986, by Abby A. Johnson, et al, Defense Nuclear Agency, DNA 6041F, 1986. The United States conducted Project TRINITY, the world's first nuclear detonation, in 1945. From 1946 to 1963, when the limited nuclear test ban treaty was signed, the U.S. conducted 18 atmospheric nuclear test series, identified below as operations, and a program of testing called PLOWSHARE. In addition, the U.S. staged safety experiments to determine the weapons' susceptibility to fission due to accidents in storage and transport. This chapter provides historical summaries of the tests, listed below in the order in which they occurred and are addressed: · Project TRINITY, 1945 (CONUS) · Operation CROSSROADS, 1946 (Oceanic) · Operation SANDSTONE, 1948 (Oceanic) · Operation RANGER, 1951 (CONUS) · Operation GREENHOUSE, 1951 (Oceanic) · Operation BUSTER-JANGLE, 1951 (CONUS) · Operation TUMBLER-SNAPPER, 1952 (CONUS) · Operation IVY, 1952 (Oceanic) · Operation UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE, 1953 (CONUS) · Operation CASTLE, 1954 (Oceanic) · Operation TEAPOT, 1955 (CONUS) · Operation WIGWAM, 1955 (Oceanic) · Operation REDWING, 1956 (Oceanic) · Operation PLUMBBOB, 1957 (CONUS) · Operation HARDTACK I, 1958 (Oceanic) · Operation ARGUS, 1958 (Oceanic) · Operation HARDTACK II, 1958 (CONUS) · Safety Experiments, 1955-1958 (CONUS) · Operation DOMINIC I, 1962 (Oceanic) · Operation DOMINIC II, 1962 (CONUS) · PLOWSHARE Program, 1961-1962 (CONUS). Most of the oceanic tests were conducted at the Pacific Proving Ground, which consisted principally of the Enewetak and Bikini Atolls in the northwestern Marshall Islands of the Pacific Ocean. The Marshall Islands are in the easternmost part of Micronesia.

  • Atmospheric Nuclear Tests Captured One Millisecond After Detonation
    Introduction They are some of the most famous and eerie images to emerge from the Cold War: atmospheric nuclear tests captured one millisecond after detonation. Using a rapatronic camera developed by Harold Edgerton of Edgerton, Germeshausen & Grier Inc. (EG&G), a company specializing in electronic technology, the rapatronic camera was capable of photographing still images at the rate of 1/1,000,000 of a second. Background Dr. Harold Edgerton, a pioneer in strobe photography, developed the concept for the rapatronic camera in the 1940s. With partners Germeshausen and Grier, Edgerton made the first rapatronic camera capable of recording still images of rapidly-changing subject matter from as far as seven miles away. Called ‘rapatronic’ for its rapid action electronic shutter, the cameras were used to photograph atmospheric nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site, now known at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS), primarily during the Tumbler-Snapper series in 1952, and Operation Upshot-Knothole in 1953. The rapatronic This rapatronic image, captured during the Tumbler- photographic technique enabled very early capture on film of the Snapper series at the Nevada Test Site in 1952, nuclear fireball immediately after detonation. The exposures illustrates the phenomenon known as the “rope trick.” were often as short as 10 billionths of a second, and each camera could take only one photograph. As a result, banks of four to 10 cameras were set up to take sequences of photographs during a single nuclear test. The images Valuable data about nuclear tests resulted from the rapatronic images. Photos resulting from the rapatronic technique revealed, for the first time, misshapen fireballs immediately after detonation of atmospheric nuclear tests - many of which were detonated atop 300-foot towers.
