It is now becoming clear that relatively few U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) waste sites will be cleaned up to the point where they can be released for unrestricted use. "Long-term stewardship" (activities to protect human health and the environment from hazards that may remain at its sites after cessation of remediation) will be required for over 100 of the 144 waste sites under DOE control (U.S. Department of Energy, 1999). After stabilizing wastes that remain on site and containing them as well as is feasible, DOE intends to rely on stewardship for as long as hazards persistâ€"in many cases, indefinitely. Physical containment barriers, the management systems upon which their long-term reliability depends, and institutional controls intended to prevent exposure of people and the environment to the remaining site hazards, will have to be maintained at some DOE sites for an indefinite period of time. The Committee on Remediation of Buried and Tank Wastes finds that much regarding DOE's intended reliance on long-term stewardship is at this point problematic. The details of long-term stewardship planning are yet to be specified, the adequacy of funding is not assured, and there is no convincing evidence that institutional controls and other stewardship measures are reliable over the long term. Scientific understanding of the factors that govern the long-term behavior of residual contaminants in the environment is not adequate. Yet, the likelihood that institutional management measures will fail at some point is relatively high, underscoring the need to assure that decisions made in the near term are based on the best available science. Improving institutional capabilities can be expected to be every bit as difficult as improving scientific and technical ones, but without improved understanding of why and how institutions succeed and fail, the follow-through necessary to assure that long-term stewardship remains effective cannot reliably be counted on to occur. Long-Term Institutional Management of U.S. Department of Energy Legacy Waste Sites examines the capabilities and limitations of the scientific, technical, and human and institutional systems that compose the measures that DOE expects to put into place at potentially hazardous, residually contaminated sites.

This Corrective Action Investigation Plan (CAIP) describes the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) planned environmental investigation of the subsurface Central Nevada Test Area (CNTA) Corrective Action Unit (CAU) No. 443. The CNTA is located in Hot Creek Valley in Nye County, Nevada, adjacent to U.S. Highway 6, about 48 kilometers (km) (30 miles [mi]) north of Wann Springs, Nevada. The CNTA was the site of Project Faultless, a nuclear device detonated in the subsurface by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) in January 1968. The purposes of this test were to gauge the seismic effects of a relatively large, high-yield detonation completed in Hot Creek Valley (outside the Nevada Test Site) and to determine the suitability of the site for future large detonations. The yield of the Faultless test was between 200 kilotons and 1 megaton. Two similar tests were planned for the CNTA, but neither of them was completed (AEC, 1974).

"Since Pres. Harry Truman established the Nevada Test Site (NTS) in December 1950, it has played a vital role in the security of the United States. For four decades, the test site's primary purpose was developmental testing of nuclear explosives. Atmospheric tests conducted over Yucca Flat and Frenchman Flat between 1951 and 1962 involved thousands of Army troops and Marines simulating nuclear battlefield conditions. Civil defense planners studied blast and radiation effects and evaluated bomb shelter designs. Testing moved underground in 1963 to eliminate radioactive fallout. Other projects at the NTS included nuclear rocket engine development for space travel, training for NASA's Apollo astronauts, excavation experiments, radioactive waste storage studies, and aircraft testing. Since the last underground nuclear test in 1992, this geographically diverse testing and training complex north of Las Vegas--known since 2010 as the Nevada National Security Site--has been used to support nuclear stockpile stewardship and as a unique outdoor laboratory for government and industry research and development efforts."--Page 4 of cover.

Origins of the Nevada Test Site was written in conjunction with the 50th anniversary commemoration of the Nevada Test Site. The history was released at the official celebration held in Las Vegas, Nevada, on December 18, 2000, fifty years after President Harry S. Truman formally designated the site as the location for conducting nuclear weapons tests within the continental United States. The history represents a unique partnership between a field office and two headquarters offices of the U.S. Department of Energy. The Department's Nevada Operations Office provided the initial impetus for the project and offered support and resources throughout the researching and writing of the history. The Office of Defense Programs of the Department's National Nuclear Security Administration provided funding for printing the history. The History Division of the Department's Executive Secretariat researched and wrote the history. Terrence R. Fehner is a senior historian working in the History Division. F.G. Gosling is the Department's Chief Historian and Federal Preservation Officer. The authors wish to thank the many individuals who offered comments, support, and assistance. They made this work possible and helped make it a better and more complete history. Retta Helling of the Nevada Operations Office and Jim Landers of the Office of Defense Programs served as the primary points of contact for their respective offices. Troy Wade, former assistant secretary for defense programs, provided the original inspiration for the project and tireless support throughout. Martha DeMarre at the Department's Coordination and Information Center in Las Vegas and her staff, especially Kristie Abromowitz and Carole Schoengold, provided the authors with hundreds of unpublished documents, reports, and photographs that became the core research material used in this study. They also reviewed the manuscript and offered sound advice on further avenues of research. Others who assisted the authors in obtaining research materials and photographs include Carolyn McKown, Bruce Harwood, Robert Perkins, Hannah King, and Rory Patterson at the U.S. Department of Energy, Germantown, library; Robert Brewer and Roger Meade at the Los Alamos National Laboratory; Eric Moody and Lee Brumbaugh at the Nevada Historical Society; Kathy War and Su Kim Chung at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, library; Richard Reed at the Remote Sensing Laboratory; Gary Roush at History Associates Incorporated; Colleen Beck and Robert Jones at the Desert Research Institute; Cate Wilman and Timothy Parish at Nellis Air Force Base; Carolyn Cole at the Los Angeles Central Public Library; Gloria Parker at the U.S. Department of State; Lisa Coats at the Institute for Advanced Study in iii Princeton; Herman Wolk and David Chenoweth at the Air Force History and Museums Program; Mickey Russell at the Air Force Historical Research Agency; Charlotte Heatherly at the University of Nevada Press; Sharon Theobald at Kirtland Air Force Base; Pauline Testerman at the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library; Elvis Brathwaite at AP Wide World Photos; Kathy Hopkins at TimePix; Remy Squires at the Hoover Institution. David Myrick and Alvin McLane gave the authors permission to use photographs from their personal collections. Frank Porcheddu of the Department's graphics office labored long and hard to turn the manuscript into a printable document. He was ably assisted by Gloria Hill. Betsy Scroger edited the manuscript and prepared the two montages of newspaper headlines that appear in the text. Cliff Scroger assisted the authors in many areas of research. Marie Hallion headed the effort to collect photographs, and without her determination to leave no stone unturned the history would be quite different in appearance. Finally, the authors would like to thank Jim Solit, director of the Executive Secretariat, for his constant and unwavering support of the History Division and its staff.
