The Air Force Engineering and Services Center, located at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida, has the lead responsibility within the Air Force for conducting research and development (R D) in a wide spectrum of environmental problem areas. Chief among these challenges is hazardous waste reduction, control, and site cleanup. 

This activity was conducted by EG G Idaho, Inc., under a Military Interdependent Purchase Request (FT-8952-85-10009) from the Air Force Engineering and Services Center, Engineering and Services Laboratory, Tyndall Air Force Base, FL, for the U.S. Department of Energy, Idaho Operations Office. The authors wish to thank Mr. D. B. Derrington, Jr., now of Versar Inc., who was the field engineer in charge at the time for the J. M. Huber Corp., and EG G Idaho chemists W. A. Propp,...

The UK Armed Services consists of three forces covering land, air arrd sea - the Army, the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Royal Navy - all of which recruit many engineering graduates each year. 

Utility service is coordinated through the Facilities Operations and Engineering Department. Electrical service into the area is from either of two feeder stations. Water is currently supplied through a 254-mm (10-in.) diameter pipe, which loops around the area. The water mains are controlled by the Air Force. This system permits service to most of the area even if a segment is valved out for maintenance or repair. Additional details on utility service can be found in Chapter 2. 

Aerospace has continued to provide many engineering, design, and safety services to the Air Force for more than 40 years. One of its chief functions is to perform launch verification and readiness assessments for all Air Force space launches. Aerospace s launch verification procedure is veiy broad, beginning with analysis of launch system design. Aerospace independently tests physical components and software, checks manufacturing processes, and verifies correct assembly of the launch vehicle. Finally, Aerospace delivers a formal launch verification letter to the Air Force s Space and Missile Systems Center, monitors the launch, and analyzes launch and post-launch data (Tomei, 2003). All of the functions are redundant in the sense that Air Force and contractor personnel also perform most of the same functions. Aerospace s launch verification serves as an independent, objective assessment of launch safety that the Air Force uses in conjunction with its own analyses in making launch decisions.
