How We Do Our Work Is as Important as What We Do: A History of Los Alamos National Laboratory Operations

Los Alamos National Laboratory is known for its world-renowned research and Nobel Prize–winning scientists. Few know about the support required to keep the Laboratory running. This book takes you behind the scenes for a closer look at Laboratory operations and the individuals, programs, and facilities of yesteryear and today. From infrastructure, security, staffing, and many other facets, Laboratory operations is what makes the science happen.

Field Work Proposal ERKJ358: Black-box training for scientific machine learning models (Final Report)

The overarching goal of this project is to develop a scalable black-box training capability for scientific machine learning (SciML) problems that are non-trainable with existing automatic differentiation (AD)-based algorithms. AD assumes that a loss function can be decomposed into a sequence of elementary operations whose derivatives are known. This assumption is violated when the loss function includes a black-box physical model (e.g., a legacy simulator). The current strategy, converting a black-box simulator to an AD-enabled code via differential programming, is inflexible and time-, labor-consuming. Thus, black-box optimization is a main workhorse for training SciML models, e.g., in scientific reinforcement learning, hyper-parameter fine tuning, designing SciML models with adversarial robustness, etc.

Index of Classified Reports Collection now available Vital resource for Weapons researchers, today’s mission work

The collection is made up of classified technical reports containing weapons data dating back to the start of the nuclear security enterprise. The information is compiled into reports, slides, handbooks and literature. It originated from Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore, and Sandia Labs, as well as from the Department of Defense and likely every other organization involved in nuclear testing, including contractors and those that are now defunct.

TA-18-1 Slotin Building Restoration – Summary of Work to be Performed

The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) requires LANL to identify, evaluate, record, and protect eligible historic properties like TA-18-1 Slotin Building. The Environmental Protection and Compliance-Environmental Stewardship (EPC-ES) Cultural Resources program consults with the New Mexico State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on undertakings that may affect these properties. TA-18-1 Slotin Building is an exceptionally significant Manhattan Project Property that has been determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and is included within the boundary of the Manhattan Project National Historical Park. The building was constructed in 1946 and served as laboratory space for criticality testing. It is the location of the May 1946 criticality accident that resulted in the death of Louis Slotin. As a result of the accident, new procedures and designs for criticality experiments were implemented to prevent further accidents.
