Presentation slides that discuss the biodetection capabilities present at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).
The Laboratory’s nuclear nonproliferation and security portfolio is managed by the GS-NNS program office: NNSA’s Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation office (DNN) makes up ~80% of our work. We also support State Dept activities closely aligned with our work for DNN and NASAprograms. Our work is executed across the entire Laboratory, approximately half in the Global Security directorate and a third in the Weapons Program.
Overview of INL isotope production work, including organizational structures, the current work and future plans of plutonium fuel supplies, cobalt-60 production, and BRR cask shipping.
Questions: How important is density management in a scaled system?; What processes are currently proposed/used, and how are they deployed?; What sort of information (tools/experimentation) would be helpful?; What can be learned that can inform better strain, cultivation systems, operations and tools development for increased productivities?; Beginning with the end in mind?
LANL has a long history in the accelerator field and is the primary NNSA accelerator laboratory.

In this exercise, you will use the Insta360 X3 action cameras to capture mock inspection footage and review the footage to identify objects that were hidden in the facility.
Greening the grid: decarbonize LANL’s electricity supply through the Los Alamos Power Pool; Net-Zero Buildings: Ensure new buildings are Net-Zero Ready and retrofit existing buildings to minimize Scope 1 emissions; Living laboratory: Leverage LANL’s clean energy R&D expertise to deploy technologies on-site at scale.
The DOE/NRC Criticality Safety for Commercial-Scale High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) for Fuel Cycle and Transportation (DNCSH) initiative is a collaboration between the Department of Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission focused on criticality safety benchmarking for processing and transportation applications related to HALEU and Advanced Reactors. The project includes design, siting and construction of a horizontal split table (HST), which has long been recognized as a need for validating advanced reactor systems.

The study uses information gained by analysis of the spectral properties of lunar samples in the laboratory, and telescope spectra of over 100 lunar areas, to provide information regarding the composition and mineralogy of each proposed lunar landing site. Attention is given to (1) the presence of pyroxenes which cause an absorption band near 0.95 micron in the lunar reflection spectrum, (2) the proportion of crystalline to glassy material present in the soil which is derived from the slope of the reflectivity curve between 0.4 and 0.7 micron and the strength of the 0.95 micron absorption band, and (3) the presence of Ti(3+) ions in the glasses on the lunar surface, which affects the reflection spectrum at blue and ultraviolet wavelengths.
An evaluation is presented of the operational and engineering aspects of the second Skylab flight. Other areas described include: the performance of experimental hardware; the crew's evaluation of the flight; medical aspects; and hardware anomalies.
A broad range of agricultural, rural development, and other power applications in various regions of Morocco were examined to determine the potential market for photovoltaic products in Moroccan development. The primary focus of the study was the agriculture sector which accounts for approximately 17% of the country's GNP. The country has a clear need for reliable remote power systems, but does not have the financial resources to invest in the relatively high capital cost PV equipment. A modest potential for PV use was identified in nonagricultural rural services, such as refrigerators for rural clinics and rural radio-telephones. The main potential for PV in Morocco in the next five years lies mainly in the telecommunications sector. Applications include rural TV sets, TV repeater stations, microwave relay stations, and railroad, marine, and airline signalling. Market size estimates were derived from development and expansion plans. At an average customer cost for complete installed systems from $18/Wp to $30/Wp the total potential market value is estimated in the range of $6.6 to $11 million over the 1981-1986 period.
