“…52 Target production begins before combat commences and continues during combat 53 with targets developed and nominated to Central Command (CENTCOM) targeting databases from several different locations in 'theatre' and in 'CONUS' (Continental US). 54 According to one source, deliberate target development 'normally begins 36-40 hours before the effective time of the ATO [Air Tasking Order]'. 55 Another source, Col. Stevenson, Commander of the 63 rd Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Wing at Joint Base Langley-Eutis, Virginia, reported that it takes 30-45 days for his nominated targets to 'make it to the finish line'.…”

Drawing on original interviews and extensive discourse analysis of primary and secondary sources, this article advances two central claims about the involvement of U.S. legal advisers in lethal and non-lethal targeting operations. First, while the role of legal advisers has no doubt become much more extensive over the past two decades, the article argues that legal advice in targeting operations is not nearly as ubiquitous as some have suggested. Second, it unpacks the context-specific contingencies of legal advice, arguing that the nature and extent to which advisers are 'involved' can be and frequently is determined by a series of operationally specific variables. The article and the argument revolve around a basic but under-appreciated distinction between two broad types of targeting: deliberate targeting, which is pre-planned, and dynamic targeting, which although containing planned elements is much more responsive to emerging threats in real-time. The article discusses how legal advisers were first incorporated into targeting operations, before showing in new empirical detail the key contingencies that continue to animate different kinds of targeting operations. The article also discusses the critical component of time, including the perceived lack of time for deliberation, and explores some of the consequences on decision-makers, troops on the ground, and civilians. The article concludes with a reflection on the largely unexplored moral and psychological toll of providing legal advice in an apparatus that in design and effect, however 'humane' it purports to be, ultimately kills, and destroys.

“…The addition of NH 3(aq) to UO 2 (NO 3 ) 2 •6H 2 O to MR NH 3(aq) /UO 2 2+ = 2 corresponds to the polymerization of uranyl ions according to the possible mechanism (equation (1)). An increase of ratio NH 3(aq) /UO 2 2+ causes precipitation of ADU (with a simplified formula (NH 4 ) 2 U 2 O 7 ) according to the equation ( 2) [15]. The precipitation conditions affecting its physical form, which determines the sinterability of UO 2 were investigated.…”

“…The name ''ammonium diuranate'' is controversial, but has widespread use. Reason of this is the composition and structure of ADU, which have often been investigated [13][14][15]. ADU is insoluble in water, therefore in order to obtain spherical grains it seems necessary to use the sol-gel method.…”

This study is devoted to synthesis and characterization of uranium dioxide microspheres (Ø < 100 μm) and pellets by application of powder-free process called the Complex Sol-Gel Process. The precursors of prepared sols were ascorbic acid solution with dissolved a freshly precipitated ammonium diuranate. The microspheres of uranyl-ascorbate gel were obtained using the ICHTJ Process. The pellets were formed by pressing and sintering of uranium dioxide powder. Studies allowed determining an optimal heat treatment of calcination, reduction and sintering processes at temperatures of 700°C, 900°C and 1300°C, respectively. The main parameters which play a key role in the process of synthesis method and features of the pellets and microspheres of uranium dioxide are described in this article.
