A propos de cet article

[2], ii, 66 pages, plus covers. One b/w and several color illustrations (additional to the paginated pages) bound in. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Siegfried S. Hecker (born October 2, 1943) is an American metallurgist and nuclear scientist. He served as Director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory from 1986 to 1997 and was a Los Alamos Senior Fellow until 2005 and is now affiliated with Stanford University, where he is research professor emeritus in the Department of Management Science and Engineering in the School of Engineering, and senior fellow emeritus at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. He has visited North Korea frequently in an unofficial capacity to assess the plutonium program at the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center (once every year since 2004). In November 2010, Hecker visited the Yongbyon nuclear facility and reported on its advanced state. In his testimony, Los Alamos National Laboratory Director Hecker concentrated on how the superb technical expertise and facilities at Los Alamos were, and were expected to be used to address pressing national problems for the coming century, while maintaining the vigilance in defense that provided the nation with protection from the unexpected. He reiterated the importance of the Laboratory's statutory defense mission. Dr. Hecker contended that the DOE laboratories represented a significant technological resource for solving large, complex technical problems important to the nation. The laboratories bridged the gap between the basic research orientation of universities and the application/manufacturing focus of industry.
