Recent results of thermodynamic studies on the complexation of actinides (UO{sub 2}{sup 2+}, NpO{sub 2}{sup +} and Pu{sup 4+}) with F{sup -}, SO{sub 4}{sup 2-} and H{sub 2}PO{sub 4}{sup -}/HPO{sub 4}{sup 2-} at elevated temperatures are reviewed. The data indicate that, for all systems except the 1:1 complexation of Np(V) with HPO{sub 4}{sup 2-}, the complexation of actinides is enhanced by the increase in temperature. The enhancement is primarily due to the increase in the entropy term (T{Delta}S) that exceeds the increase in the enthalpy ({Delta}H) as the temperature is increased. These data bridge the gaps in the chemical thermodynamic database for nuclear waste repository where the temperature could remain significantly higher than 25 C for a long time after the closure of the repository.

EUV lithography (EUVL) employs illumination wavelengths around 13.5 nm, and in many aspects it is considered an extension of optical lithography, which is used for the high-volume manufacturing (HVM) of today's microprocessors. The EUV wavelength of illumination dictates the use of reflective optical elements (mirrors) as opposed to the refractive lenses used in conventional lithographic systems. Thus, EUVL tools are based on all-reflective concepts: they use multilayer (ML) coated optics for their illumination and projection systems, and they have a ML-coated reflective mask.

CRS Report for Congress (Order Code 97-305 F), authored by David E. Lockwood and George Siehl. Historical review of the BRAC process.

This CRS Report (Order Code: RL30051) written by David E. Lockwood, explains in detail Department of Defense and Congressional efforts related to producing this latest round of base closures and realignments.

CRS Report for Congress (Order code RS21822) authored by Daniel Else and David Lockwood. This report outlines how DoD is organized to gather and analyze BRAC related data and document the process. It also describes the DoD selection criteria process, and the SecDef's requirement to certify the need for a BRAC round.

CRS Report for Congress (Order Code: RL32216), authored by David Lockwood. Report detailing the implementation of the 2005 BRAC process.

CRS Report for Congress, authored by Daniel Else and David Lockwood. Summary: This report focuses exclusively on developments relating to the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission. It examines relevant factors of interest, not only in regard to the current BRAC round, but also to the past four rounds. It should be noted that the 2005 Commission is likely to follow procedures that are, in large part, similar to those of the past three BRAC rounds. The Commission’s role will expire no later than April 15, 2006. This report is to be updated.

Updated CRS Report for Congress (Order Code RL32963) authored by Ryan J. Watson. Summary: The Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (Base Closure Act), as amended, establishes mandatory procedures to be followed throughout the BRAC process and identifies criteria to be used in formulating BRAC recommendations. However, judicial review is unlikely to be available to remedy alleged failures to comply with the Base Closure Act’s provisions. Previous report dated June 24, 2005.

Base Visit Book - Maxwell Air Force Base, AL prepared for Admiral Harold W. Gehman, Jr (USN, Ret) on 26 May 2005 DoD RECOMMENDATION is to consolidate Air and Space C4ISR Research, Development and Acquisition, Test and Evaluation. DoD JUSTIFICATION is to close Mansfield-Lahm Municipal Airport Air Guard Station, OH and move four C- 130 aircraft to Maxwell AFB and four to Little Rock AFB, AR. Realign Maxwell, NAS-Meridian and Naval Station, Newport by relocating religious training and education To Ft. Jackson, SC. Realign WBAFB, Maxwell AFB and Lackland AFB by relocating air and space information systems research and development and acquisition to Hanscom. Realign Eglin AFB by relocating air and space sensors, electronic warfare & electronics and information systems to Edwards AFB

Base Visit Book - Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, VA prepared for The Honorable Anthony J. Principi (Chairman) on May 24, 2005 DOD RECOMMENDATION is to realign Naval Air Station Great Lakes, IL, Sheppard Air Force Base, TX, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, VA, Naval Medical Center San Diego, CA by relocating basic and specialty enlisted medical training to Fort Sam Houston, TX. DOD JUSTIFICATION is to transform legacy medical infrastructure into a modernized joint operational medicine platform. This recommendation reduces excess capacity within the San Antonio Multi-Service Market (MSM: two or more facilities co-located geographically with "shared" beneficiary population) while maintaining the level of care for the beneficiaries, enhancing opportunities for provider currency, and maintaining surge capacity. Co-locating all (except Aerospace Medicine) medical basic and specialty enlisted training at Fort Sam Houston, TX, with the potential of transitioning to a joint training effort

Base Visit Book - Patrick Air Force Base, FL Realignment Recommendations prepared for Commissioner James H. Bilbray on 09 June 2005 DoD RECOMMENDATION is to realign Patrick Air Force Base, Cape Canaveral, FL, by relocating Nuclear Test and Evaluation at the Naval Ordnance Test Unit to Strategic Weapons Facility Atlantic, Kings Bay, GA. DoD JUSTIFICATION is that it realigns the stand-alone east coast facility working in full-scale Nuclear Test and Evaluation at Cape Canaveral into a fully supported Navy nuclear operational site at Kings Bay to gain synergy in security (anti-terrorism force protection), fleet operational support and mission support infrastructure. Recent changes in anti-terrorism force protection requirements, the recent establishment of the Western Test Range in the Pacific, and the programmatic decision to no longer require land based (pad) launches at Cape Canaveral all lead to the realignment/relocation of this function to Kings Bay, GA

Base Visit Book - Pittsburgh International Airport Air Reserve Station prepared for General Lloyd W. Newton (USAF, Ret) on 21 June 2005 DOD RECOMMENDATION is to close Pittsburgh International Airport (IAP) Air Reserve Station (ARS), PA, and relocate 911th Airlift Wing's (AFRC) eight C-130H aircraft to Pope / Fort Bragg to form a 16 aircraft Air Force Reserve/active duty associate unit. Relocate AFRC operations and maintenance manpower to Pope / Fort Bragg. Relocate flight related ECS (aeromedical squadron) to Youngstown-Warren Regional APT ARS. Relocate all remaining Pittsburgh ECS and headquarters manpower to Offutt Air Force Base, NE. Air National Guard units at Pittsburgh are unaffected. DOD JUSTIFICATION is that the major command's capacity briefing reported Pittsburgh ARS land constraints prevented the installation from hosting more than 10 C-130 aircraft . . . . Careful analysis of mission capability indicates that it is more appropriate to robust the proposed airlift mission
