An expert system shell for inferring vegetation characteristics: The learning system (tasks C and D)

This report describes the implementation of a learning system that uses a data base of historical cover type reflectance data taken at different solar zenith angles and wavelengths to learn class descriptions of classes of cover types. It has been integrated with the VEG system and requires that the VEG system be loaded to operate. VEG is the NASA VEGetation workbench - an expert system for inferring vegetation characteristics from reflectance data. The learning system provides three basic options. Using option one, the system learns class descriptions of one or more classes. Using option two, the system learns class descriptions of one or more classes and then uses the learned classes to classify an unknown sample. Using option three, the user can test the system's classification performance. The learning system can also be run in an automatic mode. In this mode, options two and three are executed on each sample from an input file. The system was developed using KEE. It is menu driven and contains a sophisticated window and mouse driven interface which guides the user through various computations. Input and output file management and data formatting facilities are also provided.

International Collaboration on Spent Fuel Disposition in Crystalline Media: FY18 Progress Report

Active participation in international R&D is crucial for achieving the Spent Fuel Waste Science & Technology (SFWST) long-term goals of conducting "experiments to fill data needs and confirm advanced modeling approaches" and of having a "robust modeling and experimental basis for evaluation of multiple disposal system options" (by 2020). DOE's Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) has developed a strategic plan to advance cooperation with international partners. The international collaboration on the evaluation of crystalline disposal media at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) in FY18 focused on the collaboration through the Development of Coupled Models and their Validation against Experiments (DECOVALEX- 2019) project. The DECOVALEX project is an international research and model comparison collaboration, initiated in 1992, for advancing the understanding and modeling of coupled thermo-hydro-mechanicalchemical (THMC) processes in geological systems. SNL has been participating in three tasks of the DECOVALEX project: Task A. Modeling gas injection experiments (ENGINEER), Task C. Modeling groundwater recovery experiment in tunnel (GREET), and Task F. Fluid inclusion and movement in the tight rock (FINITO). FY18 work focused on Task C and preparing the interim reports for the three tasks SNL has been imvolved. The major accomplishments are summarized

Sensing and arresting metal corrosion in molten chloride salts at 800 degrees Celsius

Originally this was planned as a 5 task, 3 year project, starting in May 2019. Task 1 Detecting oxidants and metal corrosion in molten chloride salt at 800°C. Task 2 Effectiveness of Zr getter using head gas sensors of inlet and outlet gases. Task 3 Cathodic protection of metal in molten salt at reducing potential. Task 4 Find reduction potential of metals in molten chloride salts & quantum modeling. Task 5 Develop corrosion test sections integrated into molten salt flow loop. After Q4, the project was scaled back and the reorganized SOPO was reduced to 3 tasks to be completed at the end of Q7 on 01/05/2021. The 3 SOPO tasks are: Task 1 Sense oxidants and the metal corrosion in molten Na-K-Mg-Cl salt at 800°C. Task 3 Cathodically protect H230 alloy in molten Na-K-Mg-Cl salt at 800C by making H230 alloy the cathode of a power supply with a chromium-rich-metal as the anode. Task 4 Find the reduction potential of Cr metal in molten Na-K-Mg-Cl salt at 800°C. The total timeline was reduced from 12 to 7 quarters with the end date being, January 5, 2021. This amounted to task 1,3 and 4 being done in Q5,6 and 7 of an extended year 1, ending on January 5, 2021. Task 1, 3 and 4 were completed. For task1) the increase of oxidants in molten salt is detected by two things: i) a positive shift of the electrode potential for a Haynes 230 alloy (H230) metal coupon versus a silver/silver-chloride reference electrode (SSE) and ii) an increase in the corrosion rate of a H230 electrode at 800C. For task 3) applying a cathodic potential (negative overpotential) to a H230 electrode versus SSE arrested the corrosion of the cathodically protected H230 compared to an unprotected “spectator H230 electrode” in the same molten chloride salt. Lastly, for task 4) the reduction potential of chrome and chrome rich, and nickel metal electrodes were measured. The most valuable outcome of this work is that a power supply can arrest metal corrosion for metal in molten chloride salt when the power supply applies a cathodic potential to bare metal, like H230, in molten chloride salts, like ternary Mg-K-Na-chloride salt. H230 is a high strength metal for containing molten chloride salt and ternary Mg-K-Na-chloride salt is used as heat transfer fluids in concentrating solar power plants. When to use cathodic protection for protecting metal in molten chloride salts? Two scenarios are envisioned: 1) for protecting high-valued components, like solar collectors and heat exchangers and 2) for protecting the bare surface in holidays (point defects) of corrosion inhibitors that are to intended to cover the entire surface of metal.

Research pressure instrumentation for NASA Space Shuttle main engine, modification no. 5

The purpose of Modification No. 5 of this contract is to expand the scope of work (Task C) of this research study effort to develop pressure instrumentation for the SSME. The objective of this contract (Task C) is to direct Honeywell's Solid State Electronics Division's (SSED) extensive experience and expertise in solid state sensor technology to develop prototype pressure transducers which are targeted to meet the SSME performance design goals and to fabricate, test and deliver a total of 10 prototype units. SSED's basic approach is to effectively utilize the many advantages of silicon piezoresistive strain sensing technology to achieve the objectives of advanced state-of-the-art pressure sensors in terms of reliability, accuracy and ease of manufacture. More specifically, integration of multiple functions on a single chip is the key attribute of this technology which will be exploited during this research study.

FY21 Report on Activities for EBS International

This report summarizes the FY21 Activities for EBS International Collaborations Work Package. The international collaborations work packages aim to leverage knowledge, expertise, and tools from the international nuclear waste community, as deemed relevant according to SFWST “roadmap” priorities. This report describes research and development (R&D) activities conducted during fiscal year 2021(FY21) specifically related to the Engineered Barrier System (EBS) R&D Work Package in the Spent Fuel and Waste Science and Technology (SFWST) Campaign supported by the United States (U.S.) Department of Energy (DOE). It fulfills the SFWST Campaign deliverable M4SF- 21SN010308062. The R&D activities described in this report focus on understanding EBS component evolution and interactions within the EBS, as well as interactions between the host media and the EBS. A primary goal is to advance the development of process models that can be implemented directly within the Generic Disposal System Analysis (GDSA) platform or that can contribute to the safety case in some manner such as building confidence, providing further insight into the processes being modeled, establishing better constraints on barrier performance, etc. Sandia National Laboratories is participating in THM modeling in the international projects EBS Task Force and DECOVALEX 2023. EBS Task Force, Task 11 is on modeling of laboratory-scale High Temperature Column Test conducted at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. DECOVALEX 2023, Task C is on THM modeling of the full-scale emplacement experiment (FE experiment) at the Mont Terri Underground Rock Laboratory, Switzerland. This report summarizes Sandia’s progress in the modeling studies of DECOVALEX 2023, Task C. Modeling studies related to the High Temperature Column Test will be documented in future reports.
