Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are here today to provide our views on the Department of Energy's (DOE's) management and oversight of the nuclear weapons complex. Today, the weapons complex is virtually shut-down. The complex faces a wide variety of serious environmental, safety, and operational problems, including facilities that have deteriorated; others that do not comply with environmental, safety, and health standards; radioactive wastes that have been stored for decades; and contaminated groundwater and soil that need to be cleaned up. The estimated cost to address these problems is staggering-ranging up to $155 billion. These and other problems have been due, in large part, to DOE's failure to effectively manage the nuclear weapons complex.

Download or read book Nuclear Legacies written by Bryan C. Taylor and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2007-04-13 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Cold War is commonly considered 'over,' the legacies of that conflict continue to unfold throughout the globe. One site of post-Cold War controversy involves the consequences of U.S. nuclear weapons production for worker safety, public health, and the environment. Over the past two decades, citizens, organizations, and governments have passionately debated the nature of these consequences, and how they should be managed. This volume clarifies the role of communication in creating, maintaining, and transforming the relationships between these parties, and in shaping the outcomes of related organizational and political deliberations. Providing various perspectives on nuclear culture and discourse, this anthology serves as a model of interdisciplinary communication scholarship that cuts across the subfields of political, environmental, and organizational communication studies, and rhetoric.

Book excerpt: In 1998, the U.S. and Russia embarked on an ambitious nonproliferation program, known as the Nuclear Cities Initiative (NCI), to create sustainable job opportunities for weapons scientists in Russia's closed nuclear cities, and to help Russia accelerate the downsizing of its nuclear weapons complex. NCI, implemented by the DoE and its nat. labs., seeks to employ weapons scientists and other residents of the cities in non-military scientific or commercial activities. This report discusses the: costs to implement NCI, incl. the amount spent in the U.S. and Russia, as well as planned expenditures; impact of the Dept.'s NCI projects; and status of the European Nuclear Cities Initiative.
