Book Description
Since the end of the Cold War, the Department of Energy has been downsizing and realigning its facilities. As part of this effort, Energy closed the Pinellas plant, located on a 96 acre site in Largo, Florida. This facility had been used to manufacture components for the nation's nuclear weapons program. In 1995, Energy transferred the facility to the Pinellas County Industry Council to help minimize the adverse economic effects of the closing on the surrounding communities. Energy has also provided funding to mitigate the effects of the closing. Because Energy will likely dispose of additional facilities as it continues to downsize and realign its facilities, this report examines the criteria Energy used to (1) identify and evaluate the economic effects of closing the Pinellas plant and (2) decide what types and amounts of assistance were appropriate to help offset these effects. Energy's policy guidance supports economic development to minimize the impact on displaced workers and affected communities of closing the Department's former defense nuclear weapons facilities. However, Energy has not established specific criteria for identifying and evaluating the impact of the closings; nor has it established specific criteria for deciding what types and amounts of assistance are appropriate to help offset that impact. Such criteria are important because Energy's downsizing will likely continue for years and will cost millions of dollars.

Bombs in the Backyard
Author: A. Constandina Titus
Publisher: University of Nevada Press
ISBN: 0874179629
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
On January 27, 1951, the first atomic weapon was detonated over a section of desert known as Frenchman Flat in southern Nevada, providing dramatic evidence of the Nevada Test Site's beginnings. Fifty years later, author A. Costandina Titus reviews contemporary nuclear policy issues concerning the continued viability of that site for weapons testing. Titus has updated her now-classic study of atomic testing with fifteen years of political and cultural history, from the mid-1980s Reagan-Gorbachev nuclear standoff to the authorization of the Nevada Test Site Research Center, a Desert Research Institute facility scheduled to open in 2001. In this second edition of Bombs in the Backyard, Titus deftly covers the post-Cold War transformation of American atomic policy as well as our overarching cultural interest in all matters atomic, making this a must-read for anyone interested in atomic policy and politics.
