	Mirant Bowline, LLC - Hearing Report and Recommended Decision (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Bowline Pond has an approximate surface area of 54 acres and is separated from Haverstraw Bay by an intake channel that is less than 100 feet wide.
		The controversy pertains to the perforation size of the fabric proposed for the Bowline Unit 3 Gunderboom (as compared to the Lovett fabric) and whether the proposed Bowline Unit 3 fabric complies with the draft SPDES permit condition limiting perforation size to a maximum of 0.5 mm.
		The Bowline Unit 3 draft SPDES permit authorizes a 'startup period' of three years of operation before Mirant is required to achieve a fully operational (80% effective) Gunderboom.

	Chapter VIII. “Tarring Down”-Daily Life-“Going Aft”-California. Dana, Richard Henry, Jr. 1909-14. ...
		This is an important operation, and is usually done about once in six months in vessels upon a long voyage.
		It was done in our vessel several times afterwards, but by the whole crew at once, and finished off in a day; but at this time, as most of it came upon two of us, and we were new at the business, it took us several days.
		In this operation they always begin at the mast-head and work down, tarring the shrouds, back-stays, standing parts of the lifts, the ties, runners, etc., and go out to the yard-arms, and come in, tarring, as they come, the lifts and foot-ropes.

	Encyclopedia: Nuclear test
		Frigate Bird - on May 6, 1962, a UGM-27 Polaris A-1 missile with a live 600 kt W47 warhead was launched from the USS Ethan Allen (SSBN-608), it flew 1900 km, re-entered the atmosphere, and detonated at an altitude of 3.4 km over the South Pacific; part of Operation Dominic I.
		Planned as a method to dispel doubts about whether the USA's nuclear missiles would actually function in practice, it had less effect than was hoped, as the stockpile warhead was substantially modified prior to testing, and the missile tested was a relatively low-flying SLBM and not a high-flying ICBM.
		Both were part of Operation Hardtack and had a yield of 3.75 Mt On July 9, 1962, Thor missile 195 launched a Mk4 reentry vehicle containing a W49 thermonuclear warhead to an altitude of 248 miles (400 km).

	Underground Testing at NTS
		This restricted area provides a buffer zone to the north and east between the test area and land that is open to the public, and varies in width from 15-65 miles (24-105 kilometers).
		When the decision to accelerate the development of nuclear weapons was made in the late 1940s in response to national defense policy, it became apparent that weapons development lead times would be reduced and considerably less expense incurred if nuclear weapons, especially the lower yield weapons, could be tested safely within the continental boundaries.
		In addition security of the test operation could be ensured, a considerable concern at a time that a major land war was raging in Asia, and the possibility of direct conflict with China and the Soviet Union was feared.
