Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
All in Nuclear Weapons
A new post exploring personal radiation monitoring and detection, the second part of a new series at CBRNPro.net titled “I don’t think you are doing that right…” Equipment selection and use in CBRN operations.
Follow the link to my book review of Michael H. Armacost’s The Politics of Weapons Innovation: The Thor-Jupiter Controversy., a book about the inter-service rivalry between the Air Force and Army Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile Programs in the 1950s that matched Bernard Shriver’s Western Development Division of the Air Force (and its TRW Corporation) against the Army’s superior rocket team at Red Stone Arsenal led by Werner Von Braun (and Chrysler Motor Company), which would go on to form an essential part of NASA.
Clickbait. Every site has it these days. We didn’t want to be different. So here you go: The Top Ten Things People Get Wrong About CBRN
We are always reading here at CBRNPro.net. A lot of that includes books related to CBRN history or CBRN issues. So when we finish one of those we like to offer our readers a review. Philip Ball's Serving the Reich is not directly associated with CBRN, but it touches on a very real aspect of dealing with CBRN as developed by authoritarian states (which is most of it) through the case study of the Nazi nuclear program. Check our review out at CBRNPro.net and follow us on Facebook for news and updates.
At CBRNPro.net we are too sexy for our Gaussian Dispersion model, yeah, too sexy for our plumes, yeah. But seriously, we are not talking about cocaine, Zoolander turning left, or Tom Brady. We are talking about all of the issues associated with CBRN models from ALOHA to HPAC. CATS-JACE not Catwalks. We even break it all down into a top ten list. Oh and if you pay attention you might be able to win the trivia contest on our facebook page!
The EU Parliament recently released a report on Da'esh CBRN threats. CBRNPro.net picks it apart and finds a 5 pound bag of sugar inside.
CBRNPro.net is back at it. So is Dr. Strangelove. In case you missed it between all the Republican debates, America is modernizing its nuclear arsenal. We examine its history and ask some difficult questions about this enterprise.
Here we go again...back to the future. Is the Vienna agreement any different from the deal struck in Paris in 2004? In our latest post CBRNPro.net examines the Vienna deal with Iran, the National Council for Resistance in Iran, and why this is really all about containment and delaying the inevitable.
CBRNPro.net spent most of May talking about Russian nuclear weapons and policy. Our latest post has links to all those posts and additional information for those wanting to get up to speed on this suddenly relevant issue.
Today, CBRNPro.net examines how an Italian general and airpower advocate sparked the transition of chemical warfare from a weapon with significant tactical utility, to a strategic weapon of mutual deterrence. We also look at some aspects of chemical warfare in WWII.
One of the most difficult of CBRN Operations is dealing with a "cleaned" site. Yet there are ways to find the "money sample." CBRNPro.net examines some of them in this latest post in our series on an Alternate Approach to CBRN Operations.
While we are working on our continuing series on CBRN operations, here is a new feature to CBRNPro.net - book reviews, the first in a series, this one on Eric Schlosser's Command and Control.
