The purpose of this meeting is to inform NM Environmental Dept of a Proposed Water-Energy Project at Los Alamos National Laboratory funded by the DOE Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations, and communicate how this work supports NMED work on produced water and water reuse.

At Los Alamos, we deliver science and technology to protect our nation and promote world stability. Our mission began by applying science and technology to address an international crisis. Today, we are responsible for a wide range of programs focused on national security that rely on our strong science and engineering capabilities. We offer unparalleled career opportunities in science, engineering, manufacturing, business, and more.
A series of numerical start-to-end simulations of Phase 1 of the 750 keV RFQ Test Stand which includes the ion source (H+ duoplasmatron), a 1-Solenoid LEBT, an emittance scan station and a Faraday cup were performed to find a mechanism for the characterization of the proton beam extracted from the duoplasmatron.
The purpose of this test article is to independently verify accuracy of the tool setter subroutine.
The National Security Research Center (NSRC) recently restored about 1,400 of its iconic badge photos from the Lab’s earliest days, stopping the deterioration of the photos and preserving valuable artifacts from Lab history. Now, the badge photos can be accessed online via the Lab’s external website.
The US material at 8 months aging, at room temperature and exposed to gamma at 80 degrees C has been completed. The FTIR data does not show any discernible difference between the US APU-ether material and the British material. There are some differences and the curves of the FTIR, but the behavior shows that the US material is behaving comparable to the British material. The British Blue sample exposed to gamma at 70 degrees C did have an observable change in the contact angle. This was the only notable change between the two different types of polymer the TGA on both the US and the British had no observable difference. Mechanical testing samples (dog-bones) are being prepared for tensile, shear, and puncture testing. This data will be provided in later meetings. Mass spec testing is needed to measure the headspace gases that are being seen during the aging study to better health characterize the radiolytic degradation of the APU ether samples, this is also ongoing.
Greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction is a must. Even with e-vehicles, there are fuels and chemicals that will remain carbon-based and need alternate routes to production. Goal: enable our energy, environmental, and economic security by developing a scientific understanding of, and approaches for manipulating, how carbon moves through natural and engineered biological systems.
After completion of this course, the analyst will: 1) Understand the differences between an unmitigated analysis and a mitigated analysis; 2) Know the key receptors that a radiological and hazardous chemical accident analysis must consider; 3) Understand how to calculate a radiological release source term and a toxic chemical release source term for various phenomenology; 4) Understand how to calculate a radiological and toxic chemical health insult to key receptors and compare to consequence thresholds; 5) understand the role of atmospheric dispersion in radiological and toxic consequence calculations; 6) understand atmospheric dispersion modeling and the inputs to and outputs from the MACCS/POSTMAX codes.
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.
