Abstract

The project objective was to create a catalog of NDA capabilities so that as future challenges emerge, potential solutions can be quickly identified. The initial direction was to create a custom database where we would manually add various NDA technologies. During the year, LANL leadership heavily embraced AI tools and established LANL’s Enterprise ChatGPT license. To align with this vision, instead of a database we created a custom GPT to achieve the same capability. We provided a series of references on NDA technologies, the most comprehensive of which is the 2024 “PANDA manual” which is a 700-page textbook. A custom GPT is a semi-isolated version of OpenAI’s GPT model that can be tailored to specific tasks with context documents and instructions. Anyone with a LANL ChatGPT Enterprise account can access the NDA Catalog. Since the GPT exists on the green network, only non-sensitive questions may be asked. The Catalog can be used by simply asking questions in conversational English. We have found the Catalog to be quite accurate, even for heavily technical, complex queries. The Catalog allows the user to describe a measurement problem and it will respond with potential technology solutions.

Ontologies for Intelligent Data Science

As anyone even vaguely aware of current technology can tell you, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) have made exceptional breakthroughs in recent years. Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) emerged circa 2022 dominated by Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative tools for images emerged at about the same time.

Data Cards for Standardized Metadata Across DOE-Aligned Data Initiatives: Toward Transparent, Interoperable, and Governed Dataset Documentation

As data-intensive research, advanced computing, and artificial intelligence become increasingly central to scientific and operational workflows, the need for consistent, transparent, and machine-actionable documentation has grown correspondingly. Multiple DOE-aligned communities—including Office of Science, Genesis Mission, American Science Cloud (AmSC), National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) stewardship and governance, and related cross-laboratory collaborations—have independently developed metadata practices to support discovery, access, reuse, repository deposit, and compliance.

Verification and Validation of Performance with Dissemination of Best Practices in District Energy and CHP for Enhanced Resiliency, Energy Efficiency, and Cybersecurity

This report contains the results of the International District Energy Association’s work to analyze, validate, and verify performance data of existing district energy systems and identify industy best practices for the purpose of improving system reliability, resiliency, and efficiency, and to accellerate decarbonization. In addition to a technical evaluation of the surveyed systems and identification of a series of technical performance metrics, the report illustrates the accompanying operations and financial best practices employed by surveyed systems to fully serve their customer base. Additionally, the third chapter of the report describes the current landscape of cybersecurity threats and counteracting measures, and recommends a series of steps for effectively guarding highly networked district energy systems against cybersecurity attacks.
