Rediscovered photographs of J. Robert Oppenheimer’s 1964 visit to LANL

National Security Research Center staff recently rediscovered a trove of images of J. Robert Oppenheimer’s last known visit to the Laboratory, tucked away among the NSRC’s collections of millions of classified and unclassified photographs and not seen for over thirty years. Oppenheimer, who served as our first Director from 1943–1945, led the United States’ successful wartime effort to develop the world’s first atomic weapons in just 27 months. He left the Lab shortly after World War II ended, but came back in May of 1964 to deliver a lecture about Niels Bohr at the Civic Auditorium (now Duane Smith Auditorium) and visit the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory Museum (which would become the Bradbury Science Museum), as is captured in these photos.

ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System Management Assessment Internal Review Assessing Organization: EPC-ES LANL-ASMT-2022-0289 (Spring 2023)

The Environmental Protection and Compliance Division-Environmental Stewardship Group of Los Alamos National Laboratory conducted a management assessment that supports the implementation of the Los Alamos National Laboratory Environmental Management System according to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001:2015, Environmental Management System. The assessment resulted in zero findings of nonconformity, five opportunities for improvement, four noteworthy practices, and three observations.

LANL HPC Data Center Monitoring: Summer 2023 Talk [Slides]

Data Center Monitoring is the understanding of everything that happens in the Data Center. Our Ultimate (and probably unreachable) Goal is a holistic view of the Data Center and an understanding of how everything is correlated. We get to that Understanding by collecting logs and metrics, analyzing data, displaying information for customers, and staying alert on events.

Forensics, Instruments, Turtles & Hot Sauce: The Role of an Isotope Geochemist at LANL [Slides]

Measurable quantities of U in Turtle and Tortoise scute. Turtle samples from areas of known history of radionuclide releases found to have non-natural U isotope signatures. These signatures match what we know about the release of uranium radionuclides at each site. Able to determine quantifiable changes in the U concentration and isotope composition along individual layers of growth (representing seven years of life). Possible correlations with historical releases of U from Oak Ridge site.

Mechanistic Modeling of Creep and Aging for Time Extrapolation in LPBF 316 SS - LANL

A polycrystal constitutive model was extended to quantify the effects heterogeneity in the microstructure, porosity, and internal stresses on the mechanical response (creep, tensile) of 316H steel processed by additive manufacturing. The starting point is a recently developed and fully calibrated advanced microstructuresensitive mechanistic constitutive model fit to literature data pertaining to conventionally processed steels. The model is embedded within the full field fast Fourier transform framework (LApx) and several hundred simulations were performed. Synthetic microstructures with different grain aspect ratios were generated using the Neper package to study the role of grain morphology on the mechanical responses. The effect of initial cell interior dislocation density, cell-wall density, precipitate content, porosity, and internal stresses on creep rates are quantified for different polycrystalline microstructures. The study allowed to prospectively quantify the role of distinct features of the microstructure on the mechanical response under tension and creep loading scenarios. Critically it is found that minor anisotropies in the tensile response of samples, emanating from the aspect ratio of grains correlated into significant differences in creep rate as a function of loading directions. The study also allows to identify initial microstructure porosities below which the materials response only moderately degraded by the initial microstructure.
