The Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) program to enhance the security of nuclear weapons storage facilities includes the consideration of not only physical barriers and alarm systems but security lighting as well. This report presents a literature review and bibliography dealing with the optimization of Nuclear Weapons Storage Site (NWSS) security lighting through the application of established principles of psychological and behavioral functioning. Three distinct psychological/behavioral processes are relevant to the design of security lighting systems: (1) deterrence, (2) detection, and (3) incapacitation. General recommendations for NWSS security lighting system design are provided, based on the literature review and analysis.
The Federal Trade Corrmission (FTC) has the responsibility for determining what may be reasonably expected of consumers in their fulfillment of the terms of a consumer product warranty. Such determination necessitates, in part, providing an empirical basis for defining and quantifying various factors influencing product portability. This report discusses the problem of defining consumer product portability within the context of a consumer product return activity, offers a working definition of product portability within this context, summarizes and discusses the results and utility of previous portability related studies, and describes the results of a controlled experiment which more directly relates to the task of establishing maximum reasonable product weight for a consumer product return activity. Statistically significant differences in maximum reasonable product weight were found for the variables of method of product carry and sex of customer. No statistically significant differences were found for the variables of consumer age and product size (at least for the sizes chosen for study) . Distributions of maximum reasonable weight for product return are presented and recommendations for warranty rulemaking are given.
