SPC-70646 Specification for Reactor Supplemental Shielding for Use in DOME

NRIC is developing the Demonstration of Microreactor Experiments (DOME) test bed at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Materials and Fuels Complex (MFC): to allow for testing of advanced reactors in support of future licensing and commercial operations. One such need is a neutron and photon radiation shielding system to protect personnel and equipment from harsh neutron and photon fluxes during reactor operations and post shut down operations, disassembly, and decommissioning.

Guidelines for Home Energy Professionals: Standard Work Specifications (SWS) Maintenance Charter and Procedures

The SWS were built by industry, for industry, and DOE and NREL facilitated the process to create them. The goal of the SWS maintenance process is to continue the consensus-based engagement to ensure the SWS content remains a relevant resource for promoting industry- accepted practices and maintaining consistency throughout the industry. This SWS Maintenance Charter and Procedures document defines the SWS maintenance process to provide transparency to stakeholders in how the SWS are maintained.

ESPC ESA Training Series: Site-Specific/Stand-Alone Contract Vehicle

This webinar provides instructions and resources for financing distributed energy projects (e.g., on–site renewable energy, storage, and combined heat and power) using an energy savings performance contract (ESPC) energy sales agreement (ESA) through the site–specific/stand–alone contract vehicle. The site–specific/stand–alone contract vehicle is a procurement process using a request for proposal (RFP). Topics covered during the webinar include forming a strong project team, validating the feasibility of the distributed energy project at a site, acquisition planning, RFP development, procurement, proposal evaluation and contract award, and the construction and performance period. This webinar also provides an overview of the resources available in the ESPC ESA Toolkit, such as checklists and templates.

Tailoring Polymer Colloids Derived Porous Carbon Spheres Based on Specific Chemical Reactions

Porous carbon spheres derived from polymer colloids with regular geometry, monodispersed morphology, well-controlled contents and structures play important roles in many areas of application, such as energy storage/conversion, gas adsorption/separation, catalysis, and chemo-photothermal therapy. Suitable polymerization reaction and synthetic strategy are both critical for the obtainment of stable polymer colloids as carbon precursors. Basic polymerization reactions are the cornerstones of synthetic strategies, which directly provides the direct molecular-based design of functionalized polymer/ carbon spheres. Thus, this progress report mainly focuses on the summary of suitable polymerization reactions for colloidal polymer derived porous carbon spheres. Recent advances in the synthetic strategies and applications are also discussed, including their corresponding polymerization reactions. Finally, the perspectives for the development of polymer derived porous carbon spheres are provided based on the controlled synthesis of polymer colloids and optimization over the carbonization process to achieve highly functionalized carbon spheres for practical applications.

Thermodynamic Stability and Site‐Specific Distribution of Graphitic and Pyridinic Nitrogen in Graphene Moiré on Ru(0001)

Abstract Graphene‐like materials are of interest for large‐scale hydrogen storage applications due to their lightweight, durable, and scalable properties. Nitrogen‐doping minimizes kinetic limitations in diffusion and recombination on surfaces, however, the role of graphitic nitrogen (GN) and pyridinic nitrogen (PN) is not well understood. Nitrogen‐doped graphene is synthesized on Ru(0001) using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of pyridine and ion irradiation. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and density functional theory (DFT) are used to identify the structure, location, and thermodynamic stability of nitrogen species within the graphene moiré. CVD of pyridine results in a low nitrogen concentration (<0.1at%), while the post‐growth nitrogen ion irradiation allows us to increase the concentration further. The concentration of GN and PN is controlled by varying the ion dose and annealing temperature. Comparison of measured and simulated STM images of GN and PN yield an excellent agreement, allowing us to confidently establish that GN is preferentially located near the center of the Atop region, while PN is located in the valley region of the graphene moiré. This report explicitly confirms the site assignments and provides a foundation for the site synthesis and analysis of structural and electronic properties that drive the reactivity of N‐doped graphene.
