Mechanical Engineering Safety Note 1012910313-AA: CEA LTIC Structural Integrity

Abstract

The LRU Target Insert Cryostat (LTIC) is the end effector of the NIF Cryogenic Target Positioner (CryoTarpos), which houses a cooling system to support cryogenic target experiments at NIF. The LTIC maintains a target at micron level positional stability and millikelvin level temperature stability during a NIF shot and is also subject to a portion of the blast load governed by the solid angle subtended by the blast shield at the front of the system. This MESN evaluates loading of the CEA LTIC, a redesigned LTIC to be fielded at Laser Megajoule (LMJ) in France, which has been designed to lay out requirements agreed upon between LLNL and CEA personnel. The LMJ version of CryoTarpos is referred to as the PCC. A high-level system overview of the LTIC on the PCC is shown.

Large language models for transportation research: Methodologies, state of the art, and future opportunities

The rapid rise of large language models (LLMs) is transforming transportation research, with significant advancements emerging between 2023 and 2025, a period marked by the inception and swift growth of adopting and adapting LLMs for various transportation applications. Despite these significant advancements, however, a systematic review and synthesis of the existing literature remains lacking. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive review of the methodologies and applications of LLMs in transportation. We explore key applications, including autonomous driving, travel behavior prediction, and general transportation-related queries, alongside LLM methodologies such as zero- or few-shot learning, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning. From the review, critical research gaps are identified. From the methodological perspective, many of the research limitations can be addressed by integrating LLMs with existing tools and refining LLM architectures. From the application perspective, research opportunities for LLMs to address various transportation challenges are also explored. By synthesizing these findings, this review not only presents the state-of-the-art LLM adoption and adaptation in transportation, but also proposes future research directions as well as insights and recommendations for policymakers and practitioners, paving the way for greater LLM-driven research innovations in transportation in the future.
