Additional biographical material was received from Sir Frederick Warner in 2004 and 2005. OUTLINE OF THE CAREER OF FREDERICK EDWARD WARNER Frederick Edward Warner was born in London on 31 March 1910. He attended Wanstead National School and Bancrofts School, Woodford Green, Essex, before going on to study chemistry as an At undergraduate at University College London, supported by an Old Bancroftian Exhibition. university Warner threw himself fully into student life, being President of the Debating Society (1931), President of the University of London Athletic Club (1932), President of the University of London Union (1933) and playing for University of London Rugby Club (1931-1934). He graduated B.Sc. in 1931 and following his graduation went on to research in chemical engineering. However, Warner’s extensive involvement in studentlife, principally rugby and left wing politics, led him to neglect his academic studies and he failed the diploma taken in 1932 (he passed the following During this research period he made the acquaintance of H.W. Cremer and M.B. Donald, year). In 1934 Warner secured his first post, as both of whom wereto be significant in his later career. assistant chemical engineer with the company A. Boake Roberts & Co. Ltd. This included work with L.W. Townsend on the manufacture of ethyl acetate. For a short time from 1938 to 1940 he worked for the British Launderers Research Association as a research engineer. In 1940 Warner joined Cynamid Products as a Construction Superintendent. He worked on the construction of nitric and sulphuric acid plants for the manufacture of explosives in Royal Ordnance factories. He remained with Cynamid until 1944 when he joined the company APV as Design and Sales Engineer, chiefly working on food and fermentation processes. In 1948 he was persuaded by his research supervisor from university days, H.W. Cremer, to join Carless Capel and Leonard, working in their factory at Hackney Wick, London. the problems oflarge-scale plant contracts, air and water pollution, coal and oil gasification, applied In 1956 he left Carless, again to join H.W. Cremer, becoming a Partner in the firm, Cremer and Warner, consulting chemical engineers (Senior Partner 1963-1980). As well as consultancies in the UK, for example for the National Coal Board on underground gasification of coal, he undertook It included international contracts including India and the USSR. His field of work ranged widely. F.E. Warner NCUACS 144/1/06 fluid mechanics, risk assessment and more generally, the education of engineers. Warner retired from full-time work in 1980 but continued as a consultant. Warner held a wide range of professional roles. Among these were membership of the Council of the Institution of Chemical Engineers 1948-1950 and again from 1953 (Honorary Secretary 1953 and President 1966-1967), chairmanship of the Executive Board of the British Standards Institution 1973-1976 (President 1980-1983), Presidency of the British Hydromechanics Research Association 1980-1987 and Presidency of the Institute of Quality Assurance from 1987. He also served as Chairman of the Council of Science and Technology Institutes. He was a member of the Council of Engineering Institutions’ Working Party on Pollution and of the Hazards Forum, set up by a meeting Following his election to the Royal Society, Warner served as of engineering bodies in 1989. Chairman of the British National Committee on Problems of the Environment 1977-1980 and chaired the Society's Study Groups on Risk 1978-1983 and 1991-1992. In 1982 Warner was appointed Treasurer of the International Council of Scientific Unions Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE), serving to 1988. Over the period 1983-1999 he chaired three SCOPE projects of major importance: ENUWAR (Environmental Consequences of Nuclear War), RADPATH (Pathways of Artificial Radionuclides) and RADTEST (Radiation from Nuclear Test Explosions). ENUWAR was concerned particularly with assessing the predictions surrounding the possible ‘Nuclear Winter’ scenario following a nuclear exchange, while the RADPATH project had a special focus on examining the data from the fall-out from the explosion at the Chernobyl reactor. The RADTESTproject focused on the releases of radioactivity from nuclear test explosions at test sites around the world for peaceful and military purposes. The University of Essex hosted the SCOPE Unit that provided administrative support for these three programmes, organising meetings, circulating papers and preparing reports. Warner was also involved as an adviser to the project RADSITE, ‘Radioactivity from military installation sites and effects on population health’, that was established to follow on from RADTEST. Detergents (as Chairman) 1970-1974, the National Economic Development Office’s Process Plant His experience with RADPATH following the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 led Warner to suggest the establishment of a voluntary organisation of engineers and scientists over the age of 65 willing to risk ionising radiation in order to make initial damage assessments in the event of a nuclear accident. He metwith a positive response. Volunteers for lonising Radiation (VIR) was established and although the idea did not meet with approval in all circles, the VIR were incorporated into the emergency provisions of the Order of St John. As well as his extensive professional commitments, Warner also acted in an advisory capacity to These included service on the Ministry of Government and Government-appointed bodies.

He also worked closely with the Health and Safety Executive and served as a Technical Advisor at the Inquiry into the Explosion at the Flixborough Chemical Works 1974-1975 and an Assessor to the Windscale Inquiry in 1977-1978. additional to his career as a consulting engineer, Warner held a number of university In appointments. He wasa Fellow of University College London from 1967 and Visiting Professor in Environmental Science there 1970-1986. He was also Visiting Professor in Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London 1970-1978. Later he was based at Essex University, being appointed Visiting Professor in Chemistry 1983 and Visiting Professor in Law in 1988. Warner also served as Pro-Chancellor of the Open University 1974-1979, during which period he was called upon to actin a number ofdifficult cases. Warner was knighted in 1968 for his services to chemical engineering. He was made a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1976 (Leverhulme Medal 1978, Buchanan Medal 1982), and elected to the Fellowship of Engineering the same year. He received Honorary degrees from the Universities of Bradford, Aston, Cranfield, Heriot-Watt, Newcastle upon Tyne, Essex and the Open University. International awards included the Rhineland Prize for Environmental Protection, 1984 and the Gerard Piel Award for Service to Science in the Cause of Man, 1991. sketchily represented. DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION The material presented here chiefly dates from the late 1960s to the late 1990s and there is thus a pronounced emphasis on Warner's later advisory and professional involvements with UK and Warner's professional career as a chemical engineer, including his international organisations. partnership in Cremer and Warner, and such significant activities as the Flixborough Inquiry are only documented in this section, including the Old Bancroftians Association and his involvement with interests. documentation of a 1956 visit to India with the United Kingdom Heavy Engineering Mission. Honours and awards principally comprises letters of congratulation received on his Knighthood; other awards documented include the Rhineland Prize for Environmental Protection 1984 and the Warner had many interests outside his work, a few of which are Gerard Piel Award 1991. A little Section A, Biographical, presents a range of material relating to Warner's life and career. There are There is Warner's collection of 1930s curricula vitae and a range of autobiographical accounts. memorabilia, much ofit relating to his student and Left wing activities in that era, and to his musical includes to Warner’s career and professional interests relating material F.E.

SCOPE, including as Treasurer, but the most significant and sizeable components documenthis involvement - as chairman - with the three SCOPE projects: ENUWAR, RADPATH and RADTEST. It includes initial proposals for All three are extensively covered with a very wide range of material. and establishment of the projects, project membership, funding, areas to be covered, project organisation and management, arrangements for workshops, papers presented and preparation of the published reports. There is also extensive printed and photocopy background material, the bulk kept in numbered sequences relating to the three projects, and some audio-visual material. The section also includes papers relating to the RADSITE project, to a 1991 ad hoc study by SCOPE experts of the effects of the Kuwaiti oil fires against which ‘nuclear winter’ predictive models could be tested, and to the work of the SCOPE Unit at Essex. Section C, Societies and organisations includes documentation of 52 UK and international bodies. The largest group of material relates to the Royal Society Study Groups on Assessment and Perception of Risk, chaired by Warner, that reported in 1983 and 1992. There is coverage of the establishment of the Groups, their ongoing work, the preparation and reception of the reports. Other significant documentation in the section records Warner's involvement with a number of specialist working groups established by the engineering profession to assess environmental hazards and risk more generally. These include the Council of Engineering Institutions’ Working Party on Pollution, the Hazards Forum and the Institution of Chemical Engineers’ Working Party on Nomenclature for Hazard and Risk. There is also material on Warner's membership of the UK National Coordination Committee for the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction, established in 1990, and on Public service the risk assessment subgroup of the Deregulation Task Force established in 1994. commitments covered include Warner's Trusteeship of the International Technological University Of particular interest is the comprehensive and his Pro-Chancellorship of the Open University. documentation of Warner's workestablishing and promoting Volunteersfor lonising Radiation.

He wasin considerable demand as a distinguished chemical engineer, but also for his expertise in such other fields as risk assessment and arbitration Prestigious lectures and his involvement with important national and international programmes. documented here include ‘Measurements, Models and Men’, 10th Thomson Lecture, Royal F.E. Warner NCUACS 144/1/06 of Mechanical Engineers, 1973; ‘Society's Response to Windscale’, the Royal Society Hartley Lecture, 1978; and the Marchon Lecture ‘Nuclear Power - Panacea or Peril’ at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, 1979. There are series of lectures given at University College and Imperial College London 1971 and (Imperial) 1975, some overseas lectures, and talks given at less formal occasions. There is also documentation of some of Warner’s broadcasting output, principally for BBC Radio. The distinction between lectures, presented here, and publications (presented in the following section) is blurred. Many lectures were subsequently published and a number of lectures bore the same titles as published papers. Section E, Drafts and publications, is the shortest in the collection. Working in industry rather than academia, Warner's principal efforts did not usually result in published output. The section includes ‘Nitric Acid Production’, Warner's first substantial article written for the Institution of Chemical Engineers (1946) in which he described his wartime work with Royal Ordnance Factories, other articles on chemical plants, and papers on chemical engineering education. Also of note is Warner’s chapter ‘Production Technology’, for Technology Today edited by Edward de Bono (London 1971). Warner had an interest in de Bono’s unconventional approach to learning and believed it could help engineers and technologists. There are also letters to the press, book reviews, and a number of drafts for which there is no evidence of publication. and 1985, Canada in 1981, and India in 1986 and 1990. coverage of meetings in the later 1960s of the Fédération Européenne d’Associations Nationales meetings, 1962-1997.

Warner appearsto the period from the mid 1960s to the late 1990s, with a few earlier letters. There is an initial alphabetical sequence, the bulk of which dates from the 1960s. Although there are few extended exchanges, and those on engineering topics or consultancies are rarely complete, much ofthis F.E. Warner NCUACS 144/1/06 up to the end of the 1970s, for the second series, which seems to follow on, is an alphabetically arranged sequence of groups ofletters arranged by correspondent. third alphabetical sequence dating from the 1980s and 1990s chiefly relates to SCOPE projects. There are also three separate chronological sequences of correspondence covering the period 1977 (carbon copies of outgoing correspondence May-December) and 1980-1997, and references and recommendations. Thereis also an index of correspondents. LOCATION OF FURTHER MATERIAL Further material, including some documentation of Warner's career with Cremer and Warner, is held in private hands. It is anticipated that these papers will be deposited at Essex University Library to join this collection in due course.

Il Although avoiding the term ‘nuclear winter’ (originally attributed to Carl Sagan) and emphasising the complex environmental results of a nuclear war, the study did suggest the indirect effects of nuclear war could be even more devastating than the direct effects.

It consisted of an international collaborative study involving Russia, USA, China, Kazakhstan, France, and the UK that focused on the releases of radioactivity from nuclear test explosions at test sites around the world. included Nevada (USA), Novaja Zemla (Russia), Semipalatinsk (Kazakhstan), Luc Bu Pu (Lop Nor) (China) and British and French test sites. The study thus included most of the nuclear explosions so far conducted. RADTESTwas officially adopted as a project of ICSU-SCOPE (International Council of Scientific Unions -Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment) in April 1993. Islands (USA), Pacific RADTESTfocused on these principal tasks: on focus will be capability humans. The main ‘(1) To assess the existing data on deposition densities of radio nuclides both on and near the nuclear test sites. including areas downwind where potentially significant episodesof fallout have occurred. (2) To examine the migration of the radionuclides through the biosphere. including all pathways to humans. This will include the study of the effects on other biota that have impacts to characterize the nature and magnitude of the dose to humans. This will include dose reconstructions from past events, and also an increased for dose prediction from possible future accidental or deliberate explosions. (3) To analyze the data on the effects of these doses (including low doses) on human health. The Altaj Region of Russia, downwind from Semipalatinsk, will be an important area of focus. (4) To compare existing national models and develop new models of radioactive transport to better understand the movementof these radionuclides.
