Seventy-Five Years of Nuclear Criticality Safety Documents--A Bibliography

A collection of nuclear criticality documents was begun in the 1970s at the University of California’s Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (now Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory). Documents in this bibliography are dated as early as 1940. The early documents described experimental work that was of vital importance to the safe use of fissile materials at nuclear reactors, the facilities for preparing or transporting nuclear fuel, or its eventual storage. The experiments were of direct value to support safe operations with fissile materials, but they were also needed for validating early physics data and calculational methods and then for validating computational methods used in criticality safety evaluations. These documents provided information for our computerized bibliographic database. The bibliography was originally intended for use by Livermore staff members but criticality safety "pioneers” encouraged us to make the database available to the broader nuclear safety community and even shared copies of their bibliographies and reports. A publication of the bibliography is being prepared and a searchable database is available on the U.S. Department of Energy’s Nuclear Criticality Safety Program’s NCSP website. The NCSP website also includes links from the bibliography to many full-text documents. The database continues to expand--the information in this paper is based on a “snapshot” of its present status. The “vintage” hardcopy document collection is preserved and is being scanned into digital format.

Annotated Bibliography of Literature Addressing the Low-Income Energy Affordability in the United States

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), with support from the Georgia Institute of Technology, conducted a “meta review” of low-income energy affordability in the United States. The first step of that review involved the creation of an annotated bibliography of literature focused on low-income household energy affordability, needs, and gaps. This bibliography includes abstracts of the published literature discussed in the meta review. This annotated bibliography describes the relatively current literature (published from 2010 to 2019) that examines low-income energy affordability in the United States. As an initial search criterion, literature was compiled from journal publications archived in Web of Science and Scopus databases.

Bibliography of Literature for Avian Issues in Solar and Wind Energy and Other Activities

Utility-scale solar energy has been a rapidly expanding energy sector in the United States in recent years and is expected to continue to grow. In 2014, concerns were raised over the risk of avian fatalities associated with utility-scale solar plants. With funding from the U.S. Department of Energy SunShot Program, Argonne National Laboratory and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory studied the issue and released A Review of Avian Monitoring and Mitigation Information at Existing Utility-Scale Solar Facilities (ANL/EVS-15/2, March 2015). A comprehensive literature review included peer-reviewed journal articles on avian fatalities from solar energy facilities and other sources (e.g., wind energy, building collisions, etc.), project-specific technical reports on avian monitoring and fatality at solar facilities, information on mitigation measures and best management practices, and literature pertaining to avian behavioral patterns and habitat use. The source citations are listed in this bibliography; they are current through December 2014.

Review of Literature and Utility Commission Proceedings Relevant to Integrated System Planning: Annotated Bibliography Prepared to Support the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission

In 2024 the Washington State Legislature passed the Decarbonization Act for Large Combination Utilities (Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1589 – the Act). The Act requires a large combination electric and gas utility to conduct integrated system planning supporting electrification and gas system decarbonization, including a reduction in the gas rate base. The utility is required to submit the first integrated system plan (ISP) by January 1, 2027. The requirements are to be developed and adopted by the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) by July 1, 2025. In October 2024 Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) began providing technical assistance to the UTC to support the ISP rulemaking. PNNL and LBNL have prepared this annotated bibliography of research and reports, and state examples of coordinated gas and electric planning, future of gas, and future of heat proceedings in other U.S. States and one Canadian Province. The items described here have been selected by the authors for their potential relevance to the UTC’s integrated system planning rule discussions.

Co-Located Wave Energy Converter (WEC) and Aquaculture System Annotated Bibliography

This annotated bibliography includes references that could aid in the design of a co-located WEC and aquaculture system off the coast of Guam. The breadth of this work covers multiple co-location archetypes such as: 1. WEC seawater desalination system a) Nearshore and deepwater WEC deployment b) Onshore and offshore aquaculture 2. WEC powering an offshore aquaculture platform a) Nearshore or deepwater WEC deployment 3. WEC powering an onshore aquaculture system a) Nearshore WEC deployment 4. Wave powered seawater pump a) Nearshore WEC deployment b) Onshore aquaculture There are two archetypes that may be of immediate interest to the community in Guam are to service the existing Fadian Hatchery (Mangilao) and to support freshwater aquaculture activities. First, the seawater pump at the hatchery that fills the facility’s seawater storage unit is broken. A nearshore seawater pumping WEC could be a solution to this issue. In addition, due to the high frequency of typhoons/extreme conditions and the island’s bathymetry, the likelihood of community support for an offshore aquaculture platform or WEC deployed in deepwater is low. Proactive and resilient solutions not just for power, but for freshwater are of interest as well to support any freshwater aquaculture activities. Therefore, a nearshore WEC desalination system is another archetype to consider.

Introduction to Digital Image Correlation (DIC) with annotated bibliography

Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is “a non-contact means of measuring motion and deformation using digital images of the object of interest”, capable of full-field measurements over large areas. Getting started in DIC can be difficult, since there are many different techniques, and the body of literature on DIC is extensive. IEEE Xplore alone lists nearly 11,000 references, including magazines, conference proceedings, journal articles, books, etc. A Google search returns around 145 million results. The intent of this annotated bibliography is to provide an entry point for beginners and to collect references that may be useful to more advanced practitioners.

Strengthening Deterrence for 21st Century Strategic Conflicts and Competition: Accelerating Adaptation and Integration - Annotated Bibliography

This was the fourth in a series of annual events convened at Livermore to exploring the emerging place of the “new domains” in U.S. deterrence strategies. The purposes of the series are to facilitate the emergence of a community of interest that cuts across the policy, military, and technical communities and to inform laboratory strategic planning. U.S. allies have also been drawn into the conversation, as U.S. deterrence strategies are in part about their protection. Discussion in these workshops is on a not-for-attribution basis. It is also makes no use of classified information. On this occasion, there were nearly 100 participants from a dozen countries.
