	Roman Emperors - DIR Nerva
		Nerva was born on 8 November, 30 A.D. Little is known of his upbringing beyond the fact that he belonged to a senatorial family and pursued neither a military nor a public speaking career.
		In the military realm, Nerva established veterans' colonies in Africa, a practice that was continued by the emperor Trajan.
		Nerva's reign was more concerned with the continuation of an existing political system than with the birth of a new age.

	Nerva
		Nerva was born into the household of a wealthy lawyer whose family was well accustomed to holding high office.
		Nerva had made the mistake of replacing the praetorian prefects Secundus and Norbanus, who it was thought could not be kept in their positions after their part in the assassination of Domitian.
		Nerva was imprisoned in the palace and it was demanded that Petronius and Parthenius (as well as the previous prefect Secundus) be handed over to the praetorians for execution, due to their role in the murder of Domitian.

	Nerva
		Already old and ill, Nerva quickly realized he was not up to the job of keeping all the "emperor wannabees" at bay.
		Nerva's efforts to protect them, including his offer to die in their place, were humiliatingly ignored.
		Nerva's creative solution was to decide which of the potential usurpers was in the best position to hold on to the emperorship, and adopt him.

	NERVA (Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Application)
		The goal of the NERVA program was to take the graphite-based nuclear reactor built at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) under the Rover program, which had begun in 1956, and create a functioning rocket engine.
		The NERVA portion of the project originated in 1960 and the industrial team of Aerojet General Corporation and Westinghouse Electric given responsibility for developing it.
		NERVA came to be seen as an integral part in a proposed manned mission to Mars, which was at one time scheduled for launch in November 1981 with a manned landing in August 1982.

	Nerva: The Last Flavian
		Nerva became an honorary city prefect during the Latin festival, an augur, a member of the priesthood of Augustus (sodalis Augustalis) and was a priest of Mars.
		Nerva possibly knew Vespasian in Nero’s court, but whatever presumed friendship there may have been it is not enough to bring him so close to the new ruling family.
		Nerva, always politically astute and with a good sense of survival, was never disposed to sacrifice his life in the cause of the truth.

		Nerva was born in Narni, Umbria, (the old Narnia), 50 miles north of Rome, on November 8, 35 AD.
		Nerva was connected with the Julio-Claudian dynasty, as his uncle Octavius Laenas had married Rubellia Bassa, the great-granddaughter of Tiberius.
		The Epitome de Caesaribus reports that Nerva was struck by a fever and chills and died shortly afterwards; Jerome places his death in the Gardens of Sallust in Rome (originally developed by the historian Sallust).

	NERVA
		The Atomic Energy Commission approved, on the basis of a statement of interest by the Department of Defense, the proposed plans of the Los Alamos Scientific and the Radiation Laboratories of the University of California, for the study and development of nuclear power for rocket propulsion.
		As a result of guidance from the Secretary of Defense as to desired level of effort, the Atomic Energy Commission reduced its program on nuclear rocket propulsion to a single laboratory effort, phasing out work at the University of California Radiation Laboratory and concentrating AEC development efforts at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory.
		Included in the study would be the determination of availability dates, cost of development, operational costs, the safety aspects of the missions, and an evaluation of research requirements.

	Nerva
		Executive summary: Roman Emperor, 96-98 AD Marcus Cocceius Nerva, Roman emperor from the 18th of September 96 to the 25th of January 98, was born at Narnia in Umbria on the 8th of November, probably in the year 35.
		Nerva seems nevertheless to have soon wearied of the uncongenial task of governing, and his anxiety to be rid of it was quickened by the discovery that not even his blameless life and mild rule protected him against intrigue and disaffection.
		Nerva vainly strove to save, even at the risk of his own life, the men who had raised him to power, but the soldiers brutally murdered the unfortunate men, and forced him to propose a vote of thanks for the deed.

		Nerva was known for his tact and diplomacy and he developed this skill as a young man; as praetor designate in AD65, Nerva uncovered the Pisonian conspiracy against Nero.
		Nerva immediately proved himself to be a wise ruler; he released all those who had been imprisoned by Domitian and he recalled the exiles who had not committed violent crimes.
		Nerva's reign was not a dynamic period of military expansion or radical change in the government of the Empire.

	Nerva, Marcus Cocceius
		Because of his advanced age and feeble health, Nerva was not vigorous enough to resist the demands of the Praetorian Guard, who had favoured his predecessor and insisted on the execution of the assassins of Domitian, retained in office by Nerva.
		Wishing to place the government in strong hands, Nerva adopted as his son and successor Marcus Ulpius Trajanus, usually known as Trajan, who was then in command of the Roman legions on the Rhine.
		Nerva mise ordine nelle finanze pubbliche e promosse riforme in campo sociale, facendo tra l'altro approvare dal senato una legge agraria che prevedeva l'acquisto di terre per i cittadini poveri.

	AN ABRIDGED HISTORY OF ROME - PART I - IX - FROM NERVA TO MARCUS AURELIUS
		On the very day of the assassination of Domitian, the Senate elected the new emperor: the choice fell on Marcus Cocceius Nerva, a senior member of the Senate who had managed to successfully hold important offices during the reigns of Nero, of Vespasian and of Domitian.
		Nerva managed to control the reaction of the supporters of Domitian and more in general he promoted a policy of reconciliation among the various factions into which the Roman society was divided.
		He was aware he needed the support of the army; at the age of 70 and without a military background, Nerva knew he could not obtain it in the battlefield and therefore he chose as his associate Marcus Ulpius Traianus (Trajan), the commander of the Roman legions in southern Germany.

	AEI: September 1995, Rocket Programs
		Most of the NERVA reactors were tested in an upward pointing configuration with the nozzle exhausting hot hydrogen directly to the atmosphere.
		During the same time as the NERVA tests, there were several countries, including the United States, who had intensive nuclear weapons testing programs involving dozens of detonations in the air and on the ground.
		NERVA was partially a casualty of the headlong rush to the moon.

		From the nuclear thermal NERVA program (1960s) through the nuclear electric SP-100 (1980s) program, nuclear propulsion has always not quite "gotten off the ground." None of this past track record means it is a bad idea, but it does mean that it is technically, and politically, difficult.
		Although it is not widely recognized, significant development efforts for both the CERMET and Wire Core reactors were conducted under the Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion program in the 1950s and 1960s, and much of this engineering heritage may be recoverable.
		Thus, NERVA engines required exhaust scrubbers and other measures to prevent contamination of the environment, adding significant time and cost to the program.

		At the death of Domitian he was chosen emperor by the senate in a strong movement toward constitutionalism and senatorial influence and away from hereditary succession.
		Nerva, a kind, paternal figure, reformed the land laws in favor of the poor, revised taxation, and tolerated the Christians.
		This assured an orderly transfer of power when Nerva died after fifteen months in office.

	(89) Nerva (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Nerva was a mild-mannered emperor whose reign was peaceful and beneficent, particularly concerned with programs for improving the lot of the poor.
		Nerva's coin portraits display an odd mixture of idealization, in the form of a healthy Julio-Claudian head of hair, and harsh realism, in his distinctive profile with its sloping forehead, large hooked nose, and prominent Adam's apple.
		The priestly instruments depicted here, a simpulum or ladle, sprinkler, jug, and lituus or augur's staff, were often used as tokens of the emperor's status as pontifex maximus, chief priest of the Roman state.
