Jeffrey LewisNuclear Matters 2011

The Office of the Deputy Assistant to the Secretary  of Defense for Nuclear Matters  — DATSD(NM) — has issued the 2011 edition of Nuclear Matters, which is significantly revised and expanded from the copy I have. (Here is a link to the 2008 edition.)

Nuclear Matters is probably the most useful reference book in my library on a day-to-day basis.

(I know, you are thinking “Assistant to the Secretary? Is that like Assistant to the Regional Manager?”  Have I ever mentioned that I actually worked with someone who literally did that, albeit with slightly different titles?)

    You missed the part where in 2011 they dropped the “the”. DATSD(NM) is now DASD(NM).

      Did they? I did miss that part. It always seemed silly to me. Am glad they did it.

      I think the # of ASDs and/or DASDs was limited by law until last year, thus the ATSD/DATSD construct. But I haven’t the details at hand.
