Preliminary Investigation for Corrective Action Unit 572: Test Cell C Ancillary Building and Structures, Corrective Action Site 25-33-05: Building 3901, Engine Transport System Maintenance Building, Nevada National Security Site, Nevada, Revision 0

Navarro-Intera, LLC (N-I), personnel—assisted by National Security Technologies, LLC (NSTec), radiological control personnel—conducted a preliminary field investigation to obtain information about Corrective Action Unit (CAU) 572, Test Cell C Ancillary Building and Structures; Corrective Action Site (CAS) 25-33-05, Building 3901, Engine Transport System Maintenance (ETSM) building. The ETSM building is located in Area 25 of the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS). The information learned from the investigation will reduce uncertainty about the nature and scope of potential releases and, therefore, reduce management risk associated with the planning and scheduling of future corrective action investigation activities. Site reconnaissance efforts for CAS 25-33-05 were conducted on June 18 and September 10–11, 2012. Detailed site conditions, building contents, potential waste streams, photographic documentation as well as radiological and chemical survey results are contained within this preliminary investigation.

Secure, Scalable Control and Communications for Distributed PV

An increasing number of jurisdictions are adopting Distributed Energy Resource (DER) interconnection standards which require photovoltaic (PV) inverters, energy storage systems, and other DER to include interoperable grid-support functionality. These functions provide grid operators the nobs to support local and bulk power system operations with DER equipment, but the associated grid operator-to-DER communications networks must be deployed with appropriate cybersecurity features. In some situations, additional security features may prevent control system scalability or increase communication latencies and dropouts. These unintentional consequences of the security features would therefore hinder the ability of the grid operator to implement specific control algorithms. This project evaluated the tradeoffs between power system performance and cybersecurity metrics for several grid services.

Microgrid Cyber Security Reference Architecture (V2)

This document describes a microgrid cyber security reference architecture leveraging defense-in-depth techniques that are executed by first describing actor communication using data exchange attributes, then segmenting the microgrid control system network into enclaves, and finally grouping enclaves into functional domains. To illustrate the design approach, two notional microgrid control implementations are presented. Both include a discussion on types of communication occurring on that network, data exchange attributes for the actors, and examples of segmentation via enclaves and functional domains. The second example includes results from Red Team analysis and quantitative scoring according to a novel system that derives naturally from the implementation of the cyber security architecture.

2018 Nevada National Security Site Environmental Report Attachment A: Site Description

This attachment expands on the general description of the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) presented in the Introduction to the Nevada National Security Site Environmental Report 2018. Included are subsections that summarize the site’s geological, hydrological, climatological, and ecological settings and the cultural resources of the NNSS. The subsections are meant to aid the reader in understanding the complex physical and biological environment of the NNSS. An adequate knowledge of the site’s environment is necessary to assess the environmental impacts of new projects, design and implement environmental monitoring activities for current site operations, and assess the impacts of site operations on the public residing in the vicinity of the NNSS. The NNSS environment contributes to several key features of the site that afford protection to the inhabitants of adjacent areas from potential exposure to radioactivity or other contaminants resulting from NNSS operations. These key features include the general remote location of the NNSS, restricted access, extended wind transport times, the great depths to slow-moving groundwater, little or no surface water, and low population density. This attachment complements the annual summary of monitoring program activities and dose assessments presented in the main body of this report.
