Summary and Preliminary Interpretation of Tritium and Dissolved Noble Gas Data from Site 300

In October 2013, groundwater samples were collected from 10 wells from Site 300 and analyzed by the Environmental Radiochemistry Laboratory at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). Groundwater samples were analyzed for groundwater age tracers: tritium, the helium isotope ratio of dissolved helium and the concentrations of dissolved noble gases (Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, and Xenon). A subset of the samples was also analyzed for excess nitrogen due to saturated zone denitrification. The age-dating data were used to evaluate the degree to which groundwater at a particular monitoring well was derived from pre-modern and/or modern sources. More specifically, the analyses can be used to determine whether the recharge age of the groundwater beneath the site pre-dates anthropogenic activities at the site.

Assessment of Aquifer Baseline Conditions at the Idaho National Laboratory Remote-Handled Low-Level Waste Disposal Facility

This document provides an analysis of radiologic concentrations in the aquifer and vadose zone near Idaho National Laboratory’s (INL’s) Remote-Handled Low-Level Waste (RH-LLW) disposal facility. This document identifies pre-existing sources of radiologic contaminants that could be transported to the aquifer near the RH-LLW disposal facility based on releases from nearby facility operations. It contains a summary of radionuclide concentration data in the upstream perched water and in the aquifer upstream and downstream of the RH LLW disposal facility in order to establish known variability from these pre existing radiologic sources. Using this historical data allows meaningful aquifer monitoring targets to be established for the RH-LLW disposal facility monitoring system (i.e., vadose zone wells and aquifer wells) to allow potential releases from the RH-LLW disposal facility to be distinguished from the pre existing sources of contaminants that are likely to be detected in the monitoring system.

Advanced Moderator Material Handbook

High hydrogen density moderators such as metal hydrides are an important research topic within the DOE NE Microreactor Research, Development, and Deployment (RD&D) Program due to their ability to retain hydrogen to much higher temperatures than other hydrogenous media. This class of moderators, which includes yttrium dihydride (YH 2 ), thermalizes neutrons in the system such that the overall fuel mass or the required uranium enrichment in the system can be significantly reduced. Knowledge of material properties, both in the as-fabricated and irradiated state, are important to understanding moderator performance during steady-state and transient reactor operation. Provided in this document is the Advanced Moderator Material Handbook, which provides a detailed summary of the literature data on yttrium dihydride, thermomechanical and other property data, and a critical evaluation of that data. This handbook also provides a description of ongoing experiments to understand in-reactor performance, such as irradiations in ATR, as well as nuclear data from an integral critical experiment at NCERC. The majority of this report focuses on measured values but also includes some modeling results for comparison where applicable.

Thermochemical Modeling in Molten Fluoride Salts for Radionuclide Speciation

An important aspect of the licensing process for nuclear reactors is providing a reasonable assurance of safety to the general public. This includes modeling potential radionuclide releases from the reactor during normal operations and accident scenarios, which is known as the reactor’s source term. A new class of advanced (non-LWR) reactors are being developed which use molten salts as the coolant fluid. Because the molten salt coolant represents a credited barrier for radionuclide transport between the fuel and the environment, a necessary aspect of mechanistic source term (MST) analysis for the KP-FHR is modeling the thermochemistry of molten salts. Provided here is a review of the theory of the thermodynamic principles governing multicomponent phase equilibria, the background of molten salt thermochemistry research, and a summary of the thermochemical data relevant to the KP-FHR coolant salt, Li 2 BeF 4 , commonly referred to as “FLiBe”. A review of literature is followed by a brief introduction to methods that can be used to model the thermochemical behavior of molten salt mixtures. The methodology outlined is based on the use of a commercial thermodynamic modeling software called FactSage, which is one of only a few available softwares based on the modified quasichemical model(MQM), which is the recommended solution model for molten salts.

Validation of LOCA2 and STAR-ESDM Statistically Downscaled Products

The National Climate Assessment (NCA) is the preeminent national report examining current and future risks posed by climate change. Countless agencies, policymakers, stakeholders and other end-users rely upon guidance from the NCA to plan for an uncertain future. These groups all depend on modern curated data, provided alongside the NCA, to quantify the impact of climate change on metrics of relevance for their decision processes. In its fifth iteration (NCA5), two statistically downscaled ensemble products, each providing data at grid spacing of approximately 5km over the contiguous United States, were selected to accompany the report. These include LOCalized Analogs version 2 (LOCA2) and Seasonal Trends and Analysis of Residuals Empirical-Statistical Downscaling Model (STAR-ESDM). Both data products are produced through a process known as statistical downscaling, where relatively coarse Global Climate Model (GCM) data is refined to locally relevant scales through the application of scientifically-supported empirical and algorithmic relationships. In support of the NCA effort, this report provides an independent validation of these two products against historical observations, with a focus on precipitation and near-surface temperature variables. Based on the results of this validation, several recommendations are provided related to the use of these data products. The structure of this report is as follows: In section 2, we review three gridded observational products that are used as part of our intercomparison. In section 3, we describe the two statistical downscaling techniques and their corresponding datasets that are the focus of this study. In section 4, the methodology we employ for validation is described. Section 5 provides results of the validation, which in turn motivate our recommendations on the use of these data products. A brief summary is provided in section 6.

A possible origin of the 10~15% polarization loss observed in RHIC beyond 100 GeV

This Tech. Note summarizes the outcomes of numerical simulation of strong resonance crossing using RHIC lattice, collision optics. The regular RHIC snake configuration is used, i.e. 2 snakes at their 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock locations. The working point used is Qx/Qy=28.685/29.673. These numerical experiments are performed with, in mind, the 15% polarization loss observed (measured?) during the ramp between 100 GeV and 255 GeV, and the possibility for the present simulations to point to possible cause(s). As a matter of fact, it has been stressed in many occasions that it should be checked with simulations how much the vertical orbit would need to be in order to affect polarization. The question has been addressed with SPINK in the past, yet it has to be addressed again, following in particular changes on the signs of vertical BPM mechanical offsets which happened in January 2010. A summary of RHIC polarization data over the years is given below, for the record.

SMART Task 6: Evaluation of the Costs of Geologic CO2 Storage for the Illinois Basin Decatur Project Site Using the NRAP/SMART Technoeconomic and Liability Evaluation for Storage (TALES) Model

This is a presentation featuring an analysis related to SMART Task 6 in which CO2 storage costs are presented. The National Energy Technology Laboratory has developed the NRAP/SMART Technoeconomic and Liability Evaluation for Storage (TALES) model to provide quantitative cost-based insights to support developers planning CO2 injection and storage projects. TALES calculates the revenues, costs, and financial performance of candidate CO2 saline storage project based on site-specific activity costs and financial parameters. TALES is being integrated as a module pertaining to storage cost as part of the broader SMART Visualization and Decision Support Platform (SVDSP). In this study, the TALES model was applied using real activity cost data associated with the development and operations at the Illinois Basin Decatur Project (IBDP) CO2 storage project site. Scenario analysis was implemented in which crucial operational and cost attributes were varied and the associated cost implications observed. Key results data and project cost summary metrics like first-year breakeven price of CO2 ($/tonne) and net present value (NPV) are presented in similar fashion to how they will appear in the SVDSP.

CO2 Storage Economic Analysis: CarbonSAFE Use Case

Poster on “CO2 Storage Economic Analysis: CarbonSAFE Use Case” for the CCUS 2025 conference held in Houston, Texas March 3-5, 2025. The cost of designing, permitting, constructing, operating, and closing a CO2 storage project is of vital importance to project developers. The National Energy Technology Laboratory has developed the NRAP/SMART Technoeconomic and Liability Evaluation for Storage (TALES) Model to provide quantitative cost-based insights to support developers planning CO2 injection and storage projects. This study presents a collaborative economic analysis applying TALES with data from the San Juan Basin CarbonSAFE Phase III project led by the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology to estimate potential costs incurred during the implementation of a real-world commercial-scale carbon storage project. Scenario analysis was implemented in which different operational and cost attributes were varied and the associated cost implications observed. Key results data and project cost summary metrics, first-year breakeven price of CO2 ($/tonne) and net present value (NPV), are presented for base and alternative cases. Output provides a unique perspective for project stakeholders towards evaluating the influence of different operational strategies and financing approaches on overall project cost and financial viability.

An On Board Processor (OBP) for OAO C

A stored program computer and its application on OAO is considered. The parallel computer has a memory capacity of 16,384 words of 18 bits each, one central processor unit, two 4096 word memory units, and one input/output unit. The I/O has no direct data connection with the CPU so that all data flow between these two units must pass through memory by way of the memory data bus. The primary functions of the onboard computer are auxiliary command storage, spacecraft monitoring and malfunction reporting, data compression and status summary, and possible performance of emergency corrective action.
