Sullivan, Reverend Willie Tomlin.Can we contain some of the deadliest, most long-lasting substances ever produced? Left over from the Cold War are a hundred million gallons of radioactive sludge, covering vast radioactive lands. Governments around the world, desperate to protect future generations, have begun imagining society 10,000 years from now in order to create monuments that will speak across the time. Part observational essay filmed in weapons plants, Fukushima and deep underground -- and part graphic novel -- Containment weaves between an uneasy present and an imaginative, troubled far future, exploring the idea that over millennia, nothing stays put.E.DVD-R, NTSC.- Subjects: Documentary films.; Nuclear reactors; Radioactive waste disposal.; Radioactive wastes.;

- Kill zone / by Anderson, Kevin J.,1962-author.; Beason, Doug,author.;
Deep within a mountain in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a Cold War-era nuclear weapons storage facility is being used to covertly receive more than 100,000 tons of nuclear waste. When a small plane crashes at a nearby military base, setting off a lockdown and trapping Department of Energy employee Adonia and her team in the heart of the hazardous, waste-filled mountain, the only direction for them to go is deeper into the mountain, through the tear gas and into a secretive area no one was ever supposed to know about. Doug Beason has lived in Canada, the Philippine Islands, and Okinawa. More than two dozen of Kevin J. Anderson's novels have appeared on national bestseller lists, and he has over 11 million books in print worldwide.- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Radioactive waste disposal;

- Quantum supremacy : how the quantum computer revolution will change everything / by Kaku, Michio,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."An exhilarating tour of humanity's next great technological achievement--quantum computing--which may eventually unravel the deepest mysteries of science and solve some of humanity's biggest problems, like global warming, world hunger, and incurable disease, by the bestselling author of The God Equation. The runaway success of the microchip processor may be reaching its end. Running up against the physical constraints of smaller and smaller sizes, traditional silicon chips are not likely to prove useful in solving humanity's greatest challenges, from climate change, to global starvation, to incurable diseases. But the quantum computer, which harnesses the power and complexity of the atomic realm, already promises to be every bit as revolutionary as the transistor and microchip once were. Its unprecedented gains in computing power herald advancements that could change every aspect of our daily lives. Automotive companies, medical researchers, and consulting firms are betting on quantum computing, hoping to exploit its power to design more efficient vehicles, create life-saving new drugs, and streamline industries to revolutionize the economy. But this is only the beginning. Quantum computers could allow us to finally create nuclear fusion reactors that create clean, renewable energy without radioactive waste or threats of meltdown. They could help us crack the biological processes that generate natural, cheap fertilizer and enable us to feed the world's growing populations. And they could unravel the fiendishly difficult protein folding that lies at the heart of previously incurable diseases like Alzheimer's, ALS, and Parkinson's, helping us to live longer, healthier lives. There is not a single problem humanity faces that couldn't be addressed by quantum computing. Told with Kaku's signature clarity and enthusiasm, Quantum Supremacy is the story of this exciting frontier and the race to claim humanity's future"--- Subjects: Quantum computers.; Quantum computing.;
