Before and during the Cold War, it conducted over a thousand nuclear tests and tested many long-range nuclear weapons delivery systems. Between 1940 and 1996, the U.S. government spent at least \$8.8 trillion in present-day terms on nuclear weapons, including platforms development (aircraft, rockets and facilities), command and control, maintenance, waste management and administrative costs. It is estimated that, since 1945, the United States produced more than 70,000 nuclear warheads, which is more than all other nuclear weapon states combined. The Soviet Union/Russia has produced approximately 55,000 nuclear warheads since 1949, France built 1110 warheads since 1960, the United Kingdom built 835 warheads since 1952, China built about 600 warheads since 1964, and other nuclear powers built fewer than 500 warheads all together since they developed their first nuclear weapons. Until November 1962, the vast majority of U.S. nuclear tests were aboveground. After the acceptance of the Partial Test Ban Treaty, all testing was relegated underground, in order to prevent the dispersion of nuclear fallout. By February 2006 over \$1.2 billion in compensation had been paid to U.S. citizens exposed to nuclear hazards as a result of the U.S. nuclear weapons program, and by 1998 at least \$759 million had been paid to the Marshall Islanders in compensation for their exposure to U.S. nuclear testing.

Our experiments show that sensitivity to radiation depends on both the radiation field and the grating characteristics. For some FBGs installed in an air-cooled graphite-moderated nuclear reactor the difference between the measurements and the readings of calibrated backup thermocouples was within the measurement uncertainty. In the worst case, the difference saturated after 30 h of reactor operation at about 5°C. To reach megagray per hour level gamma-dose rates and 1019 neutron/cm2 fluences, we irradiated multiplexed FBG sensors in a material testing nuclear reactor. At room temperature, FBG temperature sensors can survive in such radiation conditions, but at 90°C a severe degradation is observed.

The fibers utilized in the experiments where of high OH pure-silica-core type and showed good radiation resistance. In the IR region the transmission of the fibers was only weakly affected by the incident radiation. Radiation induced luminescence and Cerenkov radiation in the optical fibers were found to have small influence on the signal in the IR window. The high OH content of the fibers used in the present experiment precluded the use of the spectral regions at 945, 1245, and 1390 nm, due to the high intrinsic and radiation induced absorption at these wavelengths. The use of silica fibers limited the maximum temperature to {\textbackslash}textless 1000 degrees C.

This treatment differs from the earlier model in that the hydrodynamic behavior of the molecular cloud is analyzed without invoking the assumption that the flow of material away from the surface is sonic everywhere. Numerical solutions of the fluid dynamic equations, which include the effects of strong electron heating locally in the gas, reveal that the flow of material away from the pellet is initially retarded relative to the solution of Parks et al., and then rapidly accelerated and rarified. This behavior is more pronounced for higher temperature plasmas and the net effect is that pellet life times might be prolonged slightly at the higher temperatures over those predicted by the approximate sonic flow model.

Our experiments show that sensitivity to radiation depends on both the radiation field and the grating characteristics.

In the worst case, the difference saturated after 30 h of reactor operation at about 5°C. To reach megagray per hour level gamma-dose rates and 1019 neutron/cm2 fluences, we irradiated multiplexed FBG sensors in a material testing nuclear reactor.

Temperature data could be obtained for two full-power weeks with neutron fluxes of approximately 1014 n/cm2/s and gamma dose rates of approximately 5 X 103 Gy/s. The measurements were based on thermally generated IR light within the optical fiber itself. The fiber thus served as both signal generator and signal transmitter to the out-of-core region. The fibers utilized in the experiments where of high OH pure-silica-core type and showed good radiation resistance. In the IR region the transmission of the fibers was only weakly affected by the incident radiation. Radiation induced luminescence and Cerenkov radiation in the optical fibers were found to have small influence on the signal in the IR window. The high OH content of the fibers used in the present experiment precluded the use of the spectral regions at 945, 1245, and 1390 nm, due to the high intrinsic and radiation induced absorption at these wavelengths. The use of silica fibers limited the maximum temperature to {\textless} 1000 degrees C.

Before and during the Cold War, it conducted over a thousand nuclear tests and tested many long-range nuclear weapons delivery systems. Between 1940 and 1996, the U.S. government spent at least \$8.8 trillion in present-day terms on nuclear weapons, including platforms development (aircraft, rockets and facilities), command and control, maintenance, waste management and administrative costs. It is estimated that, since 1945, the United States produced more than 70,000 nuclear warheads, which is more than all other nuclear weapon states combined. The Soviet Union/Russia has produced approximately 55,000 nuclear warheads since 1949, France built 1110 warheads since 1960, the United Kingdom built 835 warheads since 1952, China built about 600 warheads since 1964, and other nuclear powers built fewer than 500 warheads all together since they developed their first nuclear weapons. Until November 1962, the vast majority of U.S. nuclear tests were aboveground. After the acceptance of the Partial Test Ban Treaty, all testing was relegated underground, in order to prevent the dispersion of nuclear fallout. By February 2006 over \$1.2 billion in compensation had been paid to U.S. citizens exposed to nuclear hazards as a result of the U.S. nuclear weapons program, and by 1998 at least \$759 million had been paid to the Marshall Islanders in compensation for their exposure to U.S. nuclear testing.

The approach taken is based on the theory of Parks, Turnbull, and Foster who postulate that a cloud of molecular hydrogen surrounding the pellet shields the surface from incoming energetic electrons and, in so doing, regulates the evaporation rate. This treatment differs from the earlier model in that the hydrodynamic behavior of the molecular cloud is analyzed without invoking the assumption that the flow of material away from the surface is sonic everywhere. Numerical solutions of the fluid dynamic equations, which include the effects of strong electron heating locally in the gas, reveal that the flow of material away from the pellet is initially retarded relative to the solution of Parks et al., and then rapidly accelerated and rarified. This behavior is more pronounced for higher temperature plasmas and the net effect is that pellet life times might be prolonged slightly at the higher temperatures over those predicted by the approximate sonic flow model. A simple injection depth scaling law is derived and estimates of pellet fueling velocity requirements are made for several tokamaks.}, number = {4}, journal = {IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science}, author = {Milora, S.

Since the publication of the parametrizations now in use, new measurements have been made and evaluations of the measured data have been improved by applying R-matrix theory. The authors show that the old parametrizations no longer adequately represent the experimental data and present new parametrizations based on R-matrix calculations for fusion cross-sections and Maxwellian reactivities for the reactions D(d,n) 3 He, D(d,p)T, T(d,n) 4 He and 3 He(d,p) 4 He}, language = {en}, number = {4}, urldate = {2016-11-25}, journal = {Nuclear Fusion}, author = {Bosch, H.-S. and Hale, G.
