This book was released on 2013-07-03 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America’s nuclear energy industry is in decline. Low natural gas prices, financing hurdles, failure to find a permanent repository for high-level nuclear waste, reactions to the Fukushima accident in Japan, and other factors are hastening the day when existing U.S. reactors become uneconomic. The decline of the U.S. nuclear energy industry could be much more rapid than policy makers and stakeholders anticipate. China, India, Russia, and others plan on adding nuclear technology to their mix, furthering the spread of nuclear materials around the globe. U.S. companies must meet a significant share of this demand for nuclear technology, but U.S. firms are currently at a competitive disadvantage due to restrictive and otherwise unsupportive export policies. Without a strong commercial presence in new markets, America’s ability to influence nonproliferation policies and nuclear safety behaviors worldwide is bound to diminish. The United States cannot afford to become irrelevant in a new nuclear age.

Book excerpt: The nuclear industry has quietly evolved over the past 30 years to become one of the safest and most reliable low-cost producers of electricity. Mary Jo Rogers's new book, Nuclear Energy Leadership: Lessons Learned from US Operators, provides helpful suggestions as well as useful tools drawn from the best of the nuclear industry. This timely book illustrates with convincing detail and relevant case studies how the lessons from the best nuclear operators can be applied to nonnuclear operations-based organizations to markedly improve production and safety performance. The author draws from a research database on nuclear leaders, supervisors, senior leadership teams and organizations, interviews with numerous nuclear leaders, as well as extensive personal experience assisting in nuclear power plant turnarounds. With increased pressure on cost of production for fossil generation and oil and gas, readers from the energy and utility industries would greatly benefit from the lessons learned by excellent nuclear operators.

This book was released on 2022-10-04 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring how the United States manages its still-powerful nuclear arsenal Arms control agreements and the end of the Cold War have made the prospect of nuclear war a distant fear for the general public. But the United States and its principal rivals—China and Russia—still maintain sizable arsenals of nuclear weapons, along with the systems for managing them and using them if that terrible day ever comes. Managing U.S. Nuclear Operations in the 21st Century focuses on how theories and policies are put into practice in managing nuclear forces in the United States. It addresses such questions as: What have been the guiding priorities of U.S. nuclear strategy since the end of the Cold War? What nuclear attack options would the president have during a war? How are these war plans developed and reviewed by civilian and military leaders? How would presidential orders be conveyed to the uniformed men and women who are entrusted with U.S. nuclear weapons systems? And are these communications systems and supporting capabilities vulnerable to disruption or attack? The answers to such questions depend on the process by which national strategy for nuclear deterrence, developed by civilian leaders, is converted into nuclear war plans and the entire range of procedures for implementing those plans if necessary. The chapter authors have extensive experience in government, the armed forces, and the analytic community. Drawing on their firsthand knowledge, as well as the public record, they provide unique, authoritative accounts of how the United States manages it nuclear forces today. This book will be of interest to the national security community, particularly younger experts who did not grow up in the nuclear-centric milieu of the Cold War. Any national security analyst, professional, or government staffer seeking to learn more about nuclear modernization policy and the U.S. nuclear arsenal should be interested in this book. It should also be of interest to professors and students who want a deep understanding of U.S. nuclear policy.
Download or read book Recapturing U S Leadership in Uranium Enrichment written by George David Banks and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is at risk of finding its nuclear weapons capabilities severely weakened by the absence of an available capability to enrich uranium. International legal obligations prohibit the United States from using, for military purposes, foreign-produced enriched uranium or uranium enriched here in this country by foreign-source technology. Efforts to deploy a next-generation American enrichment technology must succeed so that our nation has the ability to address the forthcoming shortage of this strategic material. This national security requirement could be met with little cost to taxpayers if the federal government implemented policies that ensure a strong U.S. enrichment industry.

Book excerpt: "Understanding the nuclear mindset of America’s national leadership is important for nuclear strategists and policymakers. While there is an abundance of scholarship suggesting how the president and his advisors should think regarding nuclear matters, the scholarship on how they have historically thought is less dense. The author first surveys the writings of some of the most influential nuclear scholars to lay a foundation for the need for historical analysis of leadership’s nuclear mindset. Next, by reviewing the thinking of the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations, he provides insight into how the NSC actually thinks in terms of nuclear war. He reviews historical evidence related to the first US nuclear single integrated operational plan, SIOP-62, as well as the Cuban Missile Crisis to compare the mindset of national leaders during times of peace and crisis. Using recently declassified sources the author analyzes the different levels of consequences – operational through international – that concerned leadership at these times. The analysis concludes that in times of relative calm, leaders had the time and space to explore areas outside their traditional roles of foreign policy, international politics, and geopolitical relations. During these times, national leaders even dabbled in operational-level concerns. On the other hand, in times of crisis, the mindset of leaders reflected the traditional thinking of their position with an emphasis on international policy. That is to say, when faced with an urgent need for decision-making, national leadership resorted to a geopolitical mindset. In short, the saying where you stand is where you sit expands to include the concept that where you stand is also based on when you are asked to stand."--Abstract.

Book excerpt: For the first several thousand years of written history, humankind submitted to a variety of emperors, rulers, kings, czars, and dictators. While political empires are far less common today, this imperial leadership mindset is deeply ingrained in our collective psyche. Our workplaces remain filled with miniature Napoleons and Hirohitos wielding supreme power over their subordinates through Authoritarian, Totalitarian, Overbearing, and Micromanaging (ATOM) Leadership practices. While effective to an extent, emperors have never been able to unlock the full potential of their kingdoms. An empire will only survive until a weak leader assumes the throne, and the kingdom falls.Fortunately, World War II taught us a new way to defeat imperial, ATOM Leaders. The nuclear weapons that forced the Japanese empire to capitulate have changed everything we know about warfare, politics, and diplomacy. These weapons harness the power of the very atoms that make up the essence of our world. Similarly, defeating our workplace ATOM Leaders requires harnessing the power of an abundant natural resource: human ideas. Like the neutrons in an atomic bomb, the precise application of Nuclear Leadership enables an explosive chain reaction of ideas, the ultimate weapon for overthrowing a dictatorship. Twenty-First Century organizations achieve success by generating higher quality ideas with greater efficiency and in larger quantities than their competitors generate, but our natural ATOM Leadership tendencies hinder innovation. To split the ATOM, we need Nuclear Leaders who are fully aware of both their strengths and their limitations, and who maximize the talent of those around them. We need Nuclear Leaders who recognize the value of all team members in the chain reaction and take proactive steps to ensure their teammates feel respected and valued. And we need Nuclear Leaders who make their workplaces a safe, fun-loving space, while continuously offering opportunities for their teammates to grow. The philosophical shift resulting from splitting the ATOM enables ideas to ignite a chain reaction that not only shatters a company's barriers but also has the power to change the world.M. D. Omaha has spent over a decade in leadership positions charged with conducting Intercontinental Ballistic Missile operations. Under the cold Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota ground, M. D. Omaha has meticulously prepared himself and others for a battle we hope never takes place. These moments of solitude and reflection have shaped his thoughts on leadership and led to one inescapable conclusion: to succeed in the modern era, organizations must overcome our natural ATOM tendencies and instead equip our teams to take a new approach to leadership--Nuclear Leadership.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first systematic look at the different strategies that states employ in their pursuit of nuclear weapons Much of the work on nuclear proliferation has focused on why states pursue nuclear weapons. The question of how states pursue nuclear weapons has received little attention. Seeking the Bomb is the first book to analyze this topic by examining which strategies of nuclear proliferation are available to aspirants, why aspirants select one strategy over another, and how this matters to international politics. Looking at a wide range of nations, from India and Japan to the Soviet Union and North Korea to Iraq and Iran, Vipin Narang develops an original typology of proliferation strategies—hedging, sprinting, sheltered pursuit, and hiding. Each strategy of proliferation provides different opportunities for the development of nuclear weapons, while at the same time presenting distinct vulnerabilities that can be exploited to prevent states from doing so. Narang delves into the crucial implications these strategies have for nuclear proliferation and international security. Hiders, for example, are especially disruptive since either they successfully attain nuclear weapons, irrevocably altering the global power structure, or they are discovered, potentially triggering serious crises or war, as external powers try to halt or reverse a previously clandestine nuclear weapons program. As the international community confronts the next generation of potential nuclear proliferators, Seeking the Bomb explores how global conflict and stability are shaped by the ruthlessly pragmatic ways states choose strategies of proliferation.
