AN APPLICATION OF GAME THEORY TO SPECIAL WEAPONS EVALUATION

A metbed was introduced for combining the techniues of classical Lanchester theory of combat with those of game theory toward the end of selecting optimal strategies in combat with special weapons. In the application of this method to the example in which only the defender had atomic weapons,. it was showm that the attacker always chose either to disperse his troops the maximum amount or not to disperse his troops at all. The defender always chose to employ a mixed strategy consisting of the weapon systems of either two intermediate weapons or four small weapons. If both the defender amd attacker hnd access to atomic weapons, then the opticmal strategy for the attacker was to employ the weapon system consisting of four small weapons and to use a mixed stratregy for the dispersion of his troops. On the other hand, the defender never dispersed his troops amd always used a mixed strategy for tee - weapon systems. In the example where the defender has a fixed weapon system and chooses to optimize his aiming procedure, it was shown that the optimal aiming procedure does not involve only the aimimg procedures which are optimal against each of the fixed dispersion patterns …

Radioactive contamination in liquid wastes discharged to ground at separations facilities through December 1956 (open access)

Radioactive contamination in liquid wastes discharged to ground at separations facilities through December 1956

This document summaries the amounts of radioactive contamination discharged to ground from separation facilities through December 1956. Detailed data for individual disposal sites is presented on a month basis for the period of July through December 1956. Previous publications of this series may be referred to for specific information on measurements and radioactivity totals prior to July 1956. Tables I and II list the major disposal sites in separation facilities, total volume of waste discharged to each location, and the gross amounts of plutonium and beta particle emitters discharged to ground since startup. Tables III through XXXVI present this same data on a month to month basis and also include information on the source of the waste stream and the settling facility used. Isotopic data are included for all disposal sites from which the waste was analyzed for specific contaminants. Estimates of contamination and volumes discharged to the swamps are also included.
