This report describes the development of a Capacitor Discharge Vaporization (CDV) method for the out-of-pile creation of energy states in fast breeder reactor fuel (or simulants) that are consistent with those postulated for Hypothetical Core Disruptive Accidents (HCDA). The results of the development experiments, concurrent planning, test article construction, peripheral equipment design and construction, and computer modeling studies are discussed in relation to their effects on the design of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory''s Capacitor Discharge Vaporization (ORNL CDV) System. The completed ORNL CDV System is described in detail, including all the required subsystems and data acquisition equipment. Operational features, equipment capability, and expected performance are also discussed.

In 1957 some fifty-eight Vietnamese soldiers were given military training by Special Forces troops. Ten years later the Special Forces were advising and assisting over 40,000 paramilitary troops, along with another 40,000 Regional Forces and Popular Forces soldiers. This monograph traces the development and notes the progress, problems, successes, and failures of a unique program undertaken by the U.S. Army for the first time in its history. With the withdrawal of the Special Forces from Vietnam in 1971, the Army could honestly lay claim to a new dimension in ground warfare - the organized employment of a paramilitary force in sustained combat against a determined enemy.
