Page 444 - We believe such a ban must be viewed in the context of a time when we do not need to depend on nuclear deterrence to ensure international security and stability and when we have achieved broad, deep, and verifiable arms reductions, substantially improved verification capabilities, expanded confidence-building measures, and greater balance of conventional forces.
Page 476 - Programs for the express purpose of providing a research and development facility to demonstrate the safe disposal of radioactive wastes resulting from the defense activities and programs of the United States exempted from regulation by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Page 107 - This not only mitigates future losses to life and property but also reduces the need for costly Federal flood control works as well as the demand for other Federal, state, and local services such as providing major disaster assistance before, during, and after floods.
Page 338 - This program develops the knowledge base necessary to identify, understand, and anticipate the long-term health and environmental consequences of energy use and development and utilizes the Department's unique scientific and technological capabilities to solve major scientific problems in the environment, medicine, and biology.
Page 294 - super-grand* unification that would bring all of the forces In nature Into a single unified framework. This picture of nature in terms of the electroweak and strong forces and a small set of fundamental constituents is known as the Standard Model. The most significant recent experimental results all reinforce the predictions of the Standard Model. Although no deviations from the Standard Model have been found, scientists believe that it cannot be the final answer. For example, It does not explain...
Page 579 - Center provides support for the education and training of managers, computer security personnel, and information users. It also provides field support and conducts research and development in a variety of elements related to computer security. The classified computer security program has also been closely involved with the DOE weapons design, manufacturing, and testing program in the development, testing, and implementation of a large network to support the Nuclear Weapons Complex.

Page 303 - SSC is expected to lead to Industrial innovation in such areas as computing and electronics. In this age of keen international competition, the SSC is vital to the United States' capability to maintain Its leadership in the laboratory and the marketplace. Another important benefit of the SSC is that it will be a valuable training ground for American scientists and will attract many of the world's leading physicists to live and work In the United States. The SSC would be utilized by over 100 American...
Page 268 - V¿ and build on this partnership to investigate multijunction concepts, large area submodules of thin films, and concentrator concepts and the high efficiency devices that they require. Research will also address the issueS of large area scaleability and throughput. Underlying this work will be the fundamental investigations at universities in new electronic materials, low band gap alloys, mechanisms that limit cell performance, and crystal growth. The program will also maintain the unique capability...
