They are reported to have the potential to evade ballistic missile early warning systems and to maneuver as they fly toward their target. A recent analysis by Tracy and Wright in Science & Global Security claimed to show that typical boost-glide vehicles produce significant infrared signatures that would be readily detectable with existing U.S. satellites and therefore questioned the potential advantages of hypersonic weapons over existing missiles. The prior analysis is revisited and several inconsistencies in the underlying assumptions are described. A detailed computational fluid dynamics analysis predicts typical infrared signatures to be significantly lower than those predicted by Tracy and Wright. As a result, these signatures would fall below the detection threshold of legacy U.S. Defense Support Program satellites but remain detectable by the more modern sensors from the Space-Based Infrared System. There are two significant issues with the prior analysis: an incorrect aerodynamic angle of attack was used, and the turbulent heat transfer rate correlation used to predict the surface temperature is inaccurate at the conditions studied.","PeriodicalId":55952,"journal":{"name":"Science & Global Security","volume":"69 1","pages":"117 - 130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84150767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Russia has derided this approach as impermanent and easily reversible. Conversely, many analysts contend that the recovery of buried plutonium would require large-scale mining operations, rendering it observable and preventable. Here, we show that the use of advanced mining techniques overlooked in prior analysis (namely, salt solution mining and in situ leaching) would enable the rapid, clandestine recovery of buried plutonium. Burial would therefore yield a novel plutonium geologic resource. We attribute the persistence of international technical controversy over the permanence of plutonium burial to state-level divergence in U.S. and Russian technological framings of plutonium and geologic repositories—distinct socially constructed understandings of the meanings, uses, and risks of these technologies.","PeriodicalId":55952,"journal":{"name":"Science & Global Security","volume":"76 1","pages":"131 - 162"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87291836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the time, Sakharov was an important contributor to the Soviet Union's development of multi-megaton thermonuclear weapons. This was Sakharov's first public expression of concern about the weapons work in which he was involved. Subsequently, he became a campaigner for human rights in the Soviet Union and for international cooperation and received the 1975 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of the importance of his efforts.

The concept of “nuclear archaeology” has been considered since the 1990s to provide the tools and methods to develop independent production estimates, primarily based on nuclear forensic techniques. Here, we propose to add a framework for reconstructing the history of a nuclear program that complements traditional nuclear archaeology techniques by examining the role of operating records to support such an effort. As a test case, we use the JEEP II reactor, a 2 MW civilian research reactor at Norway’s Institute for Energy Technology (IFE), in operation for more than fifty years, however, recently shut down permanently. We have collected, analyzed, and started to preserve the reactor’s operating records, which exist on both analog and digital media, and to simulate parts of its history using OpenMC/ONIX neutronics calculations. A particular focus of this project has been on digital data curation and preservation to confirm and maintain the integrity, authenticity, and provenance of these records. In developing guidelines for best practices that conform to existing standards for long-term digital preservation and curation, we hope this project can help lay the basis for future nuclear archaeology efforts to support nuclear arms control and disarmament.","PeriodicalId":55952,"journal":{"name":"Science & Global Security","volume":"15 1","pages":"95 - 107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89711126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Incomplete knowledge of a reactor’s operational history, including fuel burnup, as well as uncertainties in nuclear cross-section data, can significantly affect such plutonium estimates, making it potentially difficult to match estimates with a state’s declaration. Monte Carlo methods and sensitivity analysis techniques are used to assess the propagation of different uncertainties and their impact on plutonium estimates in infinite lattice models of a heavy-water moderated reactor (CANDU 6) and a graphite-moderated reactor (the 5 MWe reactor in North Korea), with titanium-48/titanium-49 and boron-10/boron-11 as the respective indicator isotope ratios. A tolerance interval model, with specified confidence levels, rather than one based on mean values and standard deviations, is proposed for assessing plutonium estimates based on isotope ratios measurements.","PeriodicalId":55952,"journal":{"name":"Science & Global Security","volume":"11 1","pages":"3 - 21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79958503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
