Item description from seller

Various paginations (Estimated to be about 175 pages), Tabbed sections. Only about 70 names on the Distribution list. Few of these copies have likely survived. BUCCANEER was conducted at the Nevada Test Site by the Nuclear Test Organization. The exercise was linked with a Department of Defense experiment (BANSHEE) that was conducted to measure the chemical effluents from the detonation of size 155mm artillery shells. BUCCANEER was quite different for a UGT due to it's nonvertical emplacement, minimal size, scope of the BANSHEE experiment and the location of X tunnel in the southwest corner of the NTS. Eleven of the fourteen identified Test Readiness (TR) functions were exercised. This was an LLNL experiment. There is a substantive Lessons Learned section. This document lists the Checklists used during the conduct of BUCCANEER (Annex I). Other Annexes include Evaluations, Permits and Authorizations, References, and Acronyms/Abbreviations. A subgroup of JASON, reviewed the first two sub-critical experiments (SCEs) now planned, called Holog and Rebound, to be performed underground at the Nevada Test Site (NTS). The subgroup concluded that: 1) They will add valuable scientific information for understanding physical properties of plutonium (Pu) under conditions relevant to the performance of primaries of nuclear weapons; 2) For these particular experiments, no conceivable scenario will lead to criticality. Therefore these experiments are consistent with the provisions of the CTBT signed by President Clinton on September 24, 1996; and 3) While the peer review process was adequate for these two tests, we are not satisfied that the process is adequate as a model for future experiments. While there is no question that US stockpile nuclear weapons would function today as designed, there are gaps in the scientific understanding of their performance. The Science Based Stockpile Stewardship and Management Program (SBSSMP) is charged to fill these gaps.
