Hahn, Robert A., et al. First Reports Evaluating the Effectiveness of Strategies for Preventing Violence Eirearms Laws Eindings from the Task Force on Community Preventative Services. Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Report, October 3, 2003, pp. 11-20. Also available online. URL http //www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5214a2.htm. Evaluates the current scientific evidence for the effectiveness of various types of firearms laws including gun bans, restrictions on firearms acquisition, waiting periods, and will issue concealed weapon carry laws. The report concludes that there was insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of any of the types of laws studied. [Pg.172]

This type of weapon carries out all the stages of the cycle of operation, except that of firing, using energy which originates from the propint charge. The trigger must be released and then pulled for each shot fired... [Pg.188]

Haber himself got a taste of chlorine on April 2, during a full-scale test of the weapon carried out well behind the front lines. After the cloud of chlorine was released, Haber and an army officer rode too close to the cloud on their horses and nearly suffocated. Haber was sick for several days, but recovered. After the war, he declared that his survival proved that chlorine wasn t nearly as horrible and deadly as the opponents of gas warfare claimed. [Pg.161]

An increase of thickness up to 1.8 m guarantees an absence of damage due to the simultaneous explosion of the normal weapons carried by a fighter aircraft (missiles), but not of the possibly carried bombs (which is justified on a probabilistic basis if the bombs are not triggered to explode). This thickness also offers protection against other types of impacts, such as an obhque one due to the separation of an engine and that of a missile due to the explosion of a nuclear plant turbine (for which in general 80 cm are sufficient). [Pg.191]

An agreement between the United States and Russia led to a commitment in 1994 by the United States to buy 500 metric tons of Russian HEU, which has been converted to low enriched uranium (LEU). The HEU must come from dismanded nuclear weapons before it is converted to LEU. The sale of converted HEU to the United States is to be carried out on a timetable in which no less than 10 t are to be converted in each of the first five years of the agreement and no less than 30 t in each year thereafter (35). In all, the agreement would last for 20 years if only these minimums were sold each year. [Pg.188]

Critics contend that the laboratories arc bureaucratically bloated and inefficient, citing numerous indepetideiit reports and audits over the last few decades warning that DOE ownership and operation does not work well. Bureaucracy has made it difficult for the laboratories to generate and carry out a viable mission. And following the Chinese spy scandal of 1999, the DOE has also been widely faulted for a failure to ensure the proper security at its weapons labs. [Pg.819]

Some critics recommend that the weapons laboratories (Los Alamos, Sandia, Lawrence Livermore) come under the control of the Department of Defense, and that ownership of the other laboratories be sold to the highest bidder, or turned over to the administrator now running the laboratory. The new owner can then contract with public and private entities in the free market, or shut down the laboratories. They contend that this is the best way for the laboratories to create a vision with value and effectively carry out a mission. [Pg.819]

Planned maintenance programs are an essential weapon in a department s armory to ensure that the services it is called on in meeting its responsibilities are fully met. The traditional method of working from pieces of paper or individuals own notebooks as to when maintenance is to be carried out or when the insurance representative is due to visit to carry out an inspection are no longer satisfactory. This is especially the case when the skilled resources necessary to carry out the work are more difficult to obtain. [Pg.784]

Denmark 1.5 days after the explosion. Air samples collected at Roskilde, Denmark on April 27-28, contained a mean air concentration of 241Am of 5.2 pBq/m3 (0.14 fCi/m3). In May 1986, the mean concentration was 11 pBq/m3 (0.30 fCi/m3) (Aarkrog 1988). Whereas debris from nuclear weapons testing is injected into the stratosphere, debris from Chernobyl was injected into the troposphere. As the mean residence time in the troposphere is 20-40 days, it would appear that the fallout would have decreased to very low levels by the end of 1986. However, from the levels of other radioactive elements, this was not the case. Sequential extraction studies were performed on aerosols collected in Lithuania after dust storms in September 1992 carried radioactive aerosols to the region from contaminated areas of the Ukraine and Belarus. The fraction distribution of241 Am in the aerosol samples was approximately (fraction, percent) organically-bound, 18% oxide-bound, 10% acid-soluble, 36% and residual, 32% (Lujaniene et al. 1999). Very little americium was found in the more readily extractable exchangeable and water soluble and specifically adsorbed fractions. [Pg.168]

A couple of costs are involved in having the FTIR system, number one is the initial price the initial price of the system is about 55,000. That includes a tone key system, the lap top computer, all of the software needed to operate the system, and all of the libraries that I described weapons of mass destruction, toxic industrial chemicals, common chemicals, white powders, drugs, drug precursors, and explosives, ft comes with a carrying case that protects the system in transport, ft comes with a battery pack. There is also a one-year warranty which includes access to the Web site, access to the 247 Reach Back, and then a twenty-four-hour response if your system goes down. We ll have a system to you within... [Pg.80]
