System Study: High-Pressure Safety Injection 1998-2022
This report presents an unreliability evaluation of the high-pressure safety injection system (HPSI) at 62 U.S. commercial operating nuclear reactors. New Standardized Plant Analysis Risk (SPAR) models with the most recent SPAR parameter update results were used in this report. Demand, run hours, and failure data from calendar years 1998–2022 for selected components were obtained from the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations Industry Reporting and Information System. The unreliability results are trended for the most recent 10-year period while yearly estimates for system unreliability are provided for the entire active period. Highly statistically significant increasing trends were identified in both the HPSI system start-only unreliability and 8-hour mission unreliability.

High Pressure Synthesis of Ultrasmall Nanodiamonds with Nitrogen Vacancy Centers
C–H terminated nanometer scale diamonds ( d = 1 to 15 nm) are synthesized from 1-fluoroadamantane at high pressure (6–8 GPa) and high temperature (500–1500 °C) in a multianvil press. High resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman, diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared, and X-ray absorption spectroscopies demonstrate the excellent crystallinity and atomically flat C–H terminated surfaces of nanodiamonds with (111) and (110) facets. The importance of hydrogen to the synthesis of nanodiamond and its faceting is discussed. Following vacancy generation, annealing and oxidation of the nanodiamonds, optically detected magnetic resonance and electron spin resonance coherence times ( T 2 = 0.9 and 2.1 μs) of nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers are measured. Finally, the obtained T 2 values are equivalent to the shallow NV centers (depth <10 nm) in bulk diamond crystals and larger nanocrystals prepared by mechanical milling.

Vibrational Properties of Pristine and Lithium-Intercalated Black Phosphorous under High-Pressure
Structural evolution of Li-intercalated and pristine black phosphorous (BP) under high-pressure (up to ≈8 GPa) is studied using in situ Raman spectroscopy. Even though both materials show a monotonic blueshift of the out-of-plane vibrational mode (A 1 g ) with pressure, Li-intercalated BP do not show a blueshift until a threshold pressure (2.4 GPa) is reached to compensate the structural expansion caused by intercalation. However, the in-plane modes (B 2g and A 2 g) in each sample respond differently. In the mid-pressure region, they both show redshifts which in Li-intercalated BP is also followed by abrupt blueshifts. Such behavior indicates pressure-induced structural reorganizations inside the material. Computational modeling reveals the existence of a process of P-P bond breaking and reforming in the system due to the redistribution of intercalated Li atoms under pressure. This work shows the significance of combined effect of pressure and intercalation on structural changes in the search for new phases of BP and other two-dimensional (2D) materials.

Design guide for high pressure oxygen systems
A repository for critical and important detailed design data and information, hitherto unpublished, along with significant data on oxygen reactivity phenomena with metallic and nonmetallic materials in moderate to very high pressure environments is documented. This data and information provide a ready and easy to use reference for the guidance of designers of propulsion, power, and life support systems for use in space flight. The document is also applicable to designs for industrial and civilian uses of high pressure oxygen systems. The information presented herein are derived from data and design practices involving oxygen usage at pressures ranging from about 20 psia to 8000 psia equal with thermal conditions ranging from room temperatures up to 500 F.

Energy efficient engine: High pressure turbine uncooled rig technology report
Results obtained from testing five performance builds (three vane cascades and two rotating rigs of the Energy Efficient Engine uncooled rig have established the uncooled aerodynamic efficiency of the high-pressure turbine at 91.1 percent. This efficiency level was attained by increasing the rim speed and annulus area (AN(2)), and by increasing the turbine reaction level. The increase in AN(2) resulted in a performance improvement of 1.15 percent. At the design point pressure ratio, the increased reaction level rig demonstrated an efficiency of 91.1 percent. The results of this program have verified the aerodynamic design assumptions established for the Energy Efficient Engine high-pressure turbine component.
