Salon.com News Remembering Sept. 12 Not long after Sept. 12, the complex and still-evolving story of the heroism and valiant deaths of the passengers on Flight 93, the firefighters of Ladder Company 5, and all the other 9/11 heroes was reduced by our national explainers to a tableau of hypothetical action-movie moments. Who on Sept. 12 would have imagined that one year later a vital Homeland Security bill would be bottled up in Congress -- stalled by partisan bickering? On Sept. 12, the media abandoned their obsession with shark attacks, overage Little Leaguers and Gary Condit, and did an exemplary job keeping the public up to date and informed. www.salon.com /news/col/huff/2002/09/09/remember/index.html   (262 words)

NucNews - February 15, 2004 Among the allegations was that guards at the Y-12 National Security Complex performed poorly in a December exercise and failed to protect the plant's nuclear assets. Dr Khan's bizarre admission on national TV that he headed a massive, international smuggling operation supplying Iran, North Korea and Libya with assorted nuclear technology was not just an unprecedented political and public relations disaster for Pakistan. Once it produces nuclear fuel, Iran would market it under the supervision of the United Nations nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the official added, speaking on condition of anonymity. nucnews.net /nucnews/2004nn/0402nn/040215nn.htm   (3711 words)

The rare display, witnessed by 45 journalists who were flown to the complex by chartered jet, was intended to call attention to what Abraham called a "big, big victory" in the administration's effort to combat weapons of mass destruction: Libya's unilateral decision to give up its unconventional weapons. nucnews.net /nucnews/2004nn/0403nn/040316nn.htm   (20684 words)

- 1 - I am here today to report on the Stockpile Stewardship and Management Program, which is being implemented by the Department of EnergyÕs Office of Defense Programs at the three national security laboratories (Livermore, Los Alamos, and Sandia), the Nevada Test Site, and the four production facilities (Kansas City, Pantex, Savannah River, and Y-12). The Stockpile Stewardship and Management Program is designed to ensure the safety and reliability of the U.S. stockpile in an era of no nuclear testing, no new weapon development, a production complex with reduced capacity and capability, and an aging stockpile of fewer weapons and fewer types of weapons. An important byproduct of this formal, structured evaluation of the stockpile is the recognition that there are opportunities to enhance the performance margin of some systems as required modifications are made to extend their lifetime. armedservices.house.gov /testimony/105thcongress/97-4-10Tarter.htm   (104 words)

Quantum Computing In that case, quantum computers may well be restricted to hard-core national security tasks such as cryptography and intelligence-gathering. When I draw it and go to the chemists, they just laugh: 'That's not real!' They call it a 'physicist's molecule.'" One complication is that carbon, the key ingredient of all complex molecules, almost invariably occurs as the isotope carbon-12-which is spinless. Quantum computing is barely into its proof-of-principle stage, with a long way to go before it evolves even to the qubit equivalent of World War II-era vacuum-tube machines like the ENIAC. www.technologyreview.com /articles/00/05/waldrop0500.asp?p=5   (104 words)
