Report on Progress of correlation of in-situ and ex-situ data and the use of artificial intelligence to predict defects
The Transformational Challenge Reactor (TCR) program is leveraging additive manufacturing (AM) technologies to fabricate nuclear components which will be assembled into a fully functional microreactor core. Compared with traditional manufacturing technologies, AM technologies allow (1) real-time observation of the manufacturing process at a much higher resolution using in-situ monitoring technologies to capture the sensor signatures that scientifically describe each event occurring over time and space and (2) validation of the manufacturing process quality using domain-informed data analytics techniques as a potential qualification and certification methodology for the final component. This report provides an update on the program work on in-situ and ex-situ data correlation and associated data analytics results. Examples are provided to illustrate progress with respect to laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF), binder jetting, computed tomography (CT) reconstruction, and mechanical testing. Elements of the Digital Thread and data management infrastructure are discussed in the main document, and an extensive supplemental appendix is provided detailing the Digital Platform, as well as its implementation and subcomponents. In conclusion, the path forward for the next fiscal year is also discussed.

Multi-phenomenology Yield Characterization
This report serves as the first delivery of a four-year applied science effort to transform and advance the error bounds for the yield estimate of an explosion. Each year’s delivery will be in this form, culminating in the submission of this work for peer review to a scientific journal. Importantly, the yearly progress reports can then also be viewed as expanding drafts working towards a formal journal article submission. For the first tranche of funding, we collaborated with Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC) scientists to identify unclassified real-world data that demonstrate and validate our advanced error propagation methods. Collaboration includes visits to AFTAC and telecons. For this development, we illustrate the fusion of seismic, acoustic, optical, and surface effect signatures from an explosion. The mathematics and code being adapted to this specific application (Williams et al., 2021) involves physics models of multiple sensor signatures. We have also identified related physics models and have integrated them into code. Current methods of underground explosion yield estimation for the Threshold Test Ban Treaty (TTBT) have served the US treaty monitoring mission well for decades. A research objective of the Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and Development (DNN R&D) office of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has always been to provide new technical capabilities for monitoring lower thresholds. The general model and error propagation code to be developed in this project is based on significant advances in error modeling and propagation needed to analyze data at lower detection thresholds. The second tranche of funding for this project began on May 1, 2022, and planned work for the second tranche includes: i) completing the integration of physical model code into the general error model framework; this code accommodates a wide range of linear/nonlinear source models, fixed/ random effects, and frequentist/Bayesian analyses (the purpose of which is not to dictate to users how to analyze data, but instead to allow users the maximum flexibility in their work); ii) illustrative application of code to identified data, and; iii) initial planning with AFTAC researchers on delivery of code to the Common Development Environment at AFTAC, and continued writing of the planned final journal article submission (year two of this progress report), with particular emphasis on descriptions of data identified for this effort.

FY2022 Status Report: Cold Spray for Canister SCC Mitigation and Repair
This progress report describes work performed during FY22 at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) to assess the corrosion performance of cold spray coatings to enable optimization of cold spray for the purposes of mitigation and/or repair of potentially susceptible regions, corrosion, or stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in austenitic stainless steel for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) storage. Of particular concern is SCC, by which a through-wall crack could potentially form in a canister outer wall over time intervals that may be shorter than possible dry storage times. In FY21, initial corrosion explorations of cold spray coating were evaluated and in FY22, an expanded set of cold spray coatings with in-depth analysis of post-exposure accelerated testing was explored. Additionally, relevant atmospheric exposure testing was carried out and initial results are presented herein. The corrosion attack from the accelerated testing and more realistic atmospheric exposures environments were compared to identify potentially deleterious factors for corrosion as well as help to understand the applicability of accelerated testing for cold spray optimization. This initial analysis will help to enable optimization of the corrosion resistance cold spray, one of the more promising coating and repair techniques, for potential application in an SNF environment. Learnings from both are summarized, and implications and future work are presented in this report.

SECARB Semi-Annual Field Review Reports - Early Test
The Southern States Energy Board (SSEB) managed the overall Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (SECARB) Phase III project and The Bureau of Economic Geology (BEG), at the University of Texas at Austin, managed all activities associated with the Early Test field site near Cranfield, Mississippi (the Early Test or Cranfield Project). BEG was assisted in the management of site activities by Sandia Technologies (Sandia). BEG and Sandia implemented reporting procedures that included monthly and quarterly technical progress reports, as well as periodic reporting on key field activities. Subsequent sections of this report catalog the field activities and are organized in a semiannual chronology. The Cranfield Project was located approximately 12 miles east of Natchez, Mississippi. Denbury Onshore, LLC, began operating a commercial CO 2 flood of the field (using the subsurface injection of CO 2 for EOR) in June 2008. Carbon dioxide from the Jackson Dome, a natural source near Jackson, Mississippi, was delivered to the Cranfield oilfield via pipeline. Beginning in October 2008, the SECARB Early Test team characterized the surface and subsurface of the Cranfield site. During the field test CO 2 was injected into the lower Tuscaloosa Formation, a regionally extensive saline formation with the potential to hold millions of tons of CO 2 emissions. By January 2015, the team injected more than 11 million metric tons of CO 2 and monitored a total stored CO 2 mass of 5,326,975 metric tons. SECARB’s study operations occurred in four integrated research program areas within Cranfield field: (1) the High Volume Injection Test area (HiVIT); (2) the Detailed Area of Study (DAS); (3) the Geomechanical area; and (4) the near-surface observatory, also called the “P-site.” Carbon dioxide injection activities were conducted at the HiVIT and the DAS. Figure 1.1-1 provides a depiction of the DAS.

SECARB 2020 Semi-Annual Field Review Reports - Anthropogenic Test
The Southern States Energy Board (SSEB) managed the overall Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (SECARB) Phase III project and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) managed all activities associated with the Anthropogenic Test site. Advanced Resources International, Inc. (ARI) assisted EPRI with the management of site activities. EPRI and ARI followed reporting procedures that included monthly and quarterly technical progress reports, as well as periodic reporting on key field activities. Subsequent sections of this report catalog the field activities and are organized in a semi-annual chronology. The SECARB Anthropogenic Test was the largest demonstration of a fully integrated, pulverized coal-fueled carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in the United States as of 2012 and supports a commercial prototype of CO 2 capture; transportation; subsurface storage; and monitoring, verification, and accounting (MVA); and assessment. The demonstration-scale, post-combustion CO 2 capture facility at Alabama Power Company’s Plant Barry diverted flue gas (25MW equivalent) from its Unit #5 coal burning facility and captured the CO 2 using Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) KM-CDRTM advanced amine technology. The captured CO2 was compressed at Plant Barry and transported by pipeline to the injection location southeast of Citronelle, Alabama. The Citronelle Project’s geologic storage and MVA sites were located on the flanks of the Citronelle Dome, approximately three miles southeast of the city of Citronelle. The injection zone, the Paluxy Formation, a saline formation that occurs at approximately 9,400 feet and overlies the oil production horizon of the Citronelle oilfield, presents a favorable injection reservoir in terms of areal extent and petrophysical characteristics. The confining zone, the basal shale of the overlying Washita-Fredericksburg Formation, is persistent throughout the Citronelle area and possesses the appropriate criteria to act as an effective CO 2 seal.

Discovery of Dielectric Response and Forces in Sub-Nanoscale Objects (Final Technical Report)
This is the final technical report for DOE Award DE-SC0005132 entitled “Discovery of Dielectric Response and Forces in Sub-Nanoscale Objects.” This award originated on August 15, 2010 with Principle Investigator Prof. Phil Batson of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. Prof. Batson transitioned to Professor Emeritus status on January 31, 2023. At that time PI status was transferred to Prof. Robert Bartynski of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and Director of the Rutgers Laboratory for Surface Modification. The central theme of the research performed under this award is develop and refine a NION aberration-corrected Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope to attain atomic spatial resolution and sub 10meV energy resolution in electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) performed on the transmitted electron beam. These capabilities allow examination of the excitation properties (primarily plasmonic and vibrational [ie., phonons] of nanoscale objects when excited with a highly-localized (~ Angstrom-scale) high energy (~ 60 keV) electron beam. Direct excitations (i.e., the response to electrons impinging directly on the sample) as well as excitations in response to the dynamic electric (and magnetic!) fields of an aloof electron beam (i.e., a beam that is close to but displaced from the target) have been studied. Our experimental work has benefited greatly from close collaborations with theoretical colleagues, but at Rutgers and from around the world, providing a much more complete understanding of the observed phenomena and suggesting avenues for further study and practical applications. This report summarizes the technical and scientific achievements accomplished during the entire award period. More extensive details are available in the Progress Reports that have already been filed with the Department of Energy. The report is divided into six sections. The first four sections focus on exploring, developing and understanding several unique capabilities and phenomena discovered and accessible owing to the high spatial- and energy-resolution we have been able to achieve. The latter two sections focus on applications of the STEM’s novel capabilities to study atomic- and nanometer-scale properties of solids, as well as broader applications to advanced and bio-materials.
