Prepared by the Task Committee on Structural Design for Physical Security of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. This report provides guidance to structural engineers in the design of civil structures to resist the effects of terrorist bombings. As dramatized by the bombings of the World Trade Center in New York City and the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, civil engineers today need guidance on designing structures to resist hostile acts. The U.S. military services and foreign embassy facilities developed requirements for their unique needs, but these the documents are restricted. Thus, no widely available document exists to provide engineers with the technical data necessary to design civil structures for enhanced physical security. The unrestricted government information included in this report is assembled collectively for the first time and rephrased for application to civilian facilities. Topics include: determination of the threat, methods by which structural loadings are derived for the determined threat, the behavior and selection of structural systems, the design of structural components, the design of security doors, the design of utility openings, and the retrofitting of existing structures. This report transfers this technology to the civil sector and provides complete methods, guidance, and references for structural engineers challenged with a physical security problem.

This book serves as an in-depth exploration of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and their transformative potential in the modern energy landscape. It is designed to provide a thorough understanding of SMRs, from their technological foundations to their practical applications in power generation. Beginning with an overview of the evolution of nuclear technology, it delves into the unique benefits that SMRs offer over traditional nuclear reactors, such as enhanced safety features, modular construction, and cost-efficiency. Readers are guided through critical aspects of SMR projects, including site selection, design principles, and engineering challenges, as well as the regulatory and licensing processes required to deploy these reactors. Detailed chapters address the construction, integration, and operational phases of SMR power stations, with an emphasis on modular assembly techniques, quality control, and workforce development. The book also tackles the economic dimensions of SMRs, offering insights into cost-benefit analyses, funding models, and projected returns on investment. It presents a balanced view of the financial risks involved and proposes strategies to mitigate them. The environmental impact of SMRs is explored in detail, highlighting their low carbon footprint, waste management strategies, and potential for integrating with renewable energy sources to create sustainable energy systems. This book is ideal for energy professionals, engineers, policy makers, and investors interested in the future of nuclear technology. It would also appeal to academics and students in fields related to nuclear engineering, energy policy, and sustainable development. The comprehensive coverage of SMRs' technical, economic, and environmental aspects makes it a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the role of SMRs in achieving global energy security and decarbonization goals.
