Code of Record: DOE Standard Canister (DOESC)

The United States Department of Energy (DOE) Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) Packaging Demonstration seeks to develop and demonstrate the designs, technology, processes, and regulatory framework for packaging DOE SNF for road-ready dry storage (RRDS); and establish the processes that will be used in a future production facility. The Packaging Demonstration will utilize the DOE Standard Canister (DOESC) for packaging select DOE-managed SNF types for interim storage, transportation and disposal as part of RRDS. Placing DOE-managed SNF into RRDS is part of the strategic framework for SNF on the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) site. To comply with DOE, INL and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requirements, this Code of Record establishes the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), Section III, Division 3 as the Code that will govern DOESC and internal support structure constructioni, with certain clarifications. This Code of Record establishes a rationale for proceeding without construction certification of the DOESC (i.e., “N-stamping) and the extent to which a Registered Professional Engineer is required for the DOE Spent Fuel Packaging Demonstration. Given the (i) standard industry practice to pursue independent licensure of commercial storage casks and transportation packages by the NRC in lieu of ASME certification and (ii) guidance provided by 10 CFR 830, DOESC construction activities need not be certified (i.e., “stamped”) to the ASME BPVC. However, additional quality assurance requirements will apply as outlined in this Code of Record.

Management of the Three Mile Island Unit 2 Accident Corium and Severely Damaged Fuel Debris (Rev. 2)

The Three Mile Island, Unit Two (TMI-2) pressurized water reactor core underwent a significant meltdown in 1979 due to an untimely combination of maintenance problems that led to a loss of feedwater, followed by a series of operational misunderstandings and errors. Primary coolant discharging through a malfunctioning valve represented what was analyzed as a “small-break” loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) and ultimately became a full core meltdown. The melted core recovery process required the development of a wide array of tools. After approximately three years of water management and other cleanup actions, the first views of the core revealed a much higher degree of damage than previously expected. Approximately 62 metric tons of the core had melted, leaving only 42 of the 177 fuel assemblies standing with fuel rods intact. The core to be recovered was composed of loose, gravel-like and granular particulate material and a central solidified mass of formerly molten fuel. Molten fuel had also penetrated some of the pressure vessel internals and resolidified below the main core support structure. Robotic tools that had been designed for the task were of limited effectiveness due to the range of material types and phases.

Management of the Three Mile Island, Unit 2, Accident Corium and Severely Damaged Fuel Debris

The Three Mile Island, Unit Two (TMI-2) pressurized water reactor core melted down in 1979 due to an untimely combination of maintenance problems that led to a loss of feedwater, followed by a series of operational misunderstandings and errors. The melted core recovery process required development of a wide array of tools. After approximately three years of water management and other cleanup actions, the first views of the core revealed a much higher degree of damage than previously expected. Approximately 62 metric tons of the core had melted, leaving only 42 of the 177 fuel assemblies standing with a majority of rods intact. The core to be recovered was composed of loose debris and a solidified mass of formerly molten fuel. Robotic tools that had been designed for the task were of limited effectiveness due to the range of material types and phases. Over a period of several years, the central melt was broken up, primarily by use of a core-boring drill originally designed to acquire samples through the depth of the debris field. The broken pieces were loaded into specially designed debris canisters by use of long-handled pick-and-place tools and suctioned into baffled knockout canisters using an airlift vacuum system. A remotely operable underwater plasma arc torch was developed for removal of the lower core support structure to be able to retrieve the fuel pieces and secondary melt that had accumulated on the bottom reactor vessel head. Canister design played a central role in defining the initial retrieval process and later affected transportation, interim wet and its current interim dry storage. Due to concerns about the potential for radiolysis of residual water in the debris and other canister material, the canisters were fitted with hydrogen recombiner catalyst units to prevent a buildup of flammable gas and potential pressurization. To confirm the effectiveness of the recombiners during shipping, eight dewatered canisters were kept sealed for up to 205 days with periodic sampling of the headspace gas. The highest hydrogen value (9 vol%) was observed in a canister held for 147 days while the longest stored canister resulted in a 5% hydrogen concentration. The oxygen concentration never exceeded 0.5 %, and the primary backfill was >80% argon, meaning there was no flammability risk. Radiolytic hydrogen was also observed in wet pool storage, where the vented canisters discharged a portion of the water backfill as a result of gas production. The 344 canisters (268 fuel debris, 62 filter, and 12 knockout type) were dewatered, loaded in groups of seven into a double barrier shipping cask, and transported to the U.S. Department of Energy site in Idaho for 10 years of pool storage.

Development of a reliable Potting process for Photoconductive Semiconductor Switches (PCSS)

Electrical potting is an important process to protect semiconductor devices from damaging external elements (mechanical stress, moisture, high voltage, etc.) and provides structural support for delicate devices for electrical connectivity to a larger platform. This internship will focus on the development of a universal potting jig for photoconductive semiconductor switches (PCSS). The goal is to design a reliable compression jig that is cross compatible with various PCSS designs that allow for easy potting of devices with a high dielectric breakdown strength material. The challenge with the current potting jig is that the design is only compatible with one style of PCSS and applies uneven pressure that can lead to leakage of potting material. Our approach is to move from a design that applies pressure by binder clip to utilizing a micrometer based compressing jig for a reliable packaging process that can pot a variety of devices without having to have a unique compressing jig for each of style of PCSS. Possible roadblocks with the new design include epoxy leakage into the optical path and misalignment of the electrode – metal contact bond.

Status Update for the Bearing Test Article Design Development – FY2025

Argonne National Laboratory’s (ANL) Mechanism Engineering Test Loop (METL) team has completed the design of a new Bearing Test Article (BTA) to test mechanical bearings for sodium fast reactor (SFR) mechanism applications. Recognition of the need for further bearing testing arose due to failure of rolling element bearings during testing of components for in-vessel fuel handling machines (FHMs) conducted at ANL in the METL facility. While the initial concept of the BTA arose from a need for bearing testing for FHM applications, the BTA design is configurable to test bearings of various sizes, types, and materials submerged in liquid sodium. Requirements for loading, shaft speed, temperature, and bearing size range were chosen based on requirements for SFR fuel handling. Modular components in the test bearing housings and shaft sleeves allow the design to accommodate a wide range of bearing sizes without modification to the larger assembly. Loading will be applied with screw jacks on the air side of the test article that will be adjusted to apply radial, thrust, or combined loading conditions. Applied force will be measured by load cells in-line with the loading mechanisms. In FY25 we have completed the design of the test article that will be fabricated and undergo testing at the METL facility. Drawing packages for the fabrication of the test article have been drafted and are being reviewed to add part tolerances and we have started ordering off-the-shelf components. The report will summarize the development of the Bearing Test Article design starting with an overview of the entire test article, then a more detailed examination of the bearing test section, loading mechanisms, test article ports and seals, and support structures, including analysis that went into significant design choices.

140° Line of Sight (LOS) Mounting Fixture Prototype for ZNeutron Time of Flight (Z-NToF)

The 140° Line of Sight (LOS) Mounting Fixture Prototype for the Z-Neutron Time of Flight diagnostic (Z-NToF) is a prototype support structure for the NToF Jac Black that will be fielded at Sandia’s Z-Machine. The Mounting Fixture will allow the detector to be properly positioned and aligned horizontally from the load, with manual horizontal and vertical translation capabilities, and a limited manual rotation capability. It attaches overhead I-beams at Sandia’s Z machine 140° location approximately 18m from the average source location. The assembly (1011219955) is shown in Figure 1 below. It is capable of rotating ±20° about the vertical axis of the Jac Black detector and translating ±37.5mm horizontally along the Mounting Plate. Vertical adjustments of ±76.2mm can be made using the Lead Screw. Coarser adjustments are possible by changing the number of plates between the I-Beam Hanger Assemblies and the 5in and changing the position of the clamps on the I-beams at Z.

Integral Field Probe for Mapping of Curved Magnets

The Single Stretched Wire (SSW) method allows highly precise integral field measurements by recording voltage across a tensioned wire mounted to 2-axis linear stages at either end of the magnet aperture. However, traditional SSW probes are not well suited for curved accelerator magnets, which are essential for steering charged particles along arced trajectories in storage rings or beamlines. The tension required to eliminate sag demands a purely straight path, making them incompatible with non-linear magnet geometries. To address this limitation for curved magnets, a modified approach was developed using a segmented, 3D-printed support structure that incorporates a pre-shaped anti-sag curve. Under its own weight and that of the wire bundle, the structure deforms to lie flat while conforming to the curvature of the magnet in the horizontal plane. The optimal geometry of the probe was derived using an iterative process combining FEA simulations in Ansys Mechanical with testing of various carbon fiber-reinforced filaments. The printed and assembled probe was successfully used to measure the SDD-059 magnet at Fermilab, yielding promising results.

OC6 Phase III: Validation of Wind Turbine Aerodynamic Loading During Surge/Pitch Motion

The objective of Phase III of the Offshore Code Comparison Collaboration, Continued, with Correlation and unCertainty (OC6) project was to validate the accuracy of aerodynamic load predictions by offshore wind modeling tools for a floating offshore wind turbine as it experiences large surge-translational and pitch-rotational motion, as would occur during normal operation. The test data considered were generated at Politecnico di Milano – a wind tunnel with a robotic excitation system to emulate wave loading on the wind turbine. Testing was performed using a scaled version of the DTU 10-MW reference model, and motion was prescribed as harmonic oscillations in the surge and pitch directions, independently. A variety of models were examined in the project, performing a three-way validation between engineering-level tools, higher-fidelity tools, and measurement data from two wind tunnel experimental campaigns. The Load Cases (LC) considered in this testing are as follows: LC 1.X - Steady Wind LC 2.X - Unsteady Wind - Surge Motion LC 3.X - Unsteady Wind - Pitch Motion Details on the results of the OC6 Phase III campaign can be found in the following reference: Bergua R., et al.

Dynamic Analysis of a Six-Cable Parallel Robot for Automated Panelized Building Retrofits

Cable-Driven Parallel Robots (CDPRs) are highly suitable for automated panelized building retrofits, thanks to their compact footprint and high payload-to-weight ratio. A common CDPR configuration featuring eight cables, where the anchors form a rectangular prism in front of the building facade, offers a large wrench feasible workspace and good control versatility. However, installing upper anchor points requires additional support structures, such as towers or beams, increasing setup complexity and posing logistical challenges in construction settings. To mitigate these challenges, we propose a six-cable CDPR model specifically designed for automated panelized building retrofits. Although the feasible workspace is limited, our analysis shows that the proposed CDPR adequately covers the critical areas required for panel installation. To validate that the six-cable system can effectively transport the end effector to the desired installation pose, we calculated optimal trajectories based on a constrained dynamic model. The simulation results of the six-cable CDPR demonstrate promising potential for automated panelized building retrofits, effectively balancing simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and functionality.

Structural analysis and functional evaluation of the disordered ß–hexosyltransferase region from Hamamotoa (Sporobolomyces) singularis

Hamamotoa (Sporobolomyces) singularis codes for an industrially important membrane bound ß-hexosyltransferase (BHT), (BglA, UniprotKB: Q564N5) that has applications in the production of natural fibers such as galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and natural sugars found in human milk. When heterologously expressed by Komagataella phaffii GS115, BHT is found both membrane bound and soluble secreted into the culture medium. In silico structural predictions and crystal structures support a glycosylated homodimeric enzyme and the presence of an intrinsically disordered region (IDR) with membrane binding potential within its novel N-terminal region (1–110 amino acids). Additional in silico analysis showed that the IDR may not be essential for stable homodimerization. Thus, we performed progressive deletion analyses targeting segments within the suspected disordered region, to determine the N-terminal disorder region’s impact on the ratio of membrane-bound to secreted soluble enzyme and its contribution to enzyme activity. The ratio of the soluble secreted to membrane-bound enzyme shifted from 40% to 53% after the disordered N-terminal region was completely removed, while the specific activity was unaffected. Furthermore, functional analysis of each glycosylation site found within the C-terminal domain revealed reduced total secreted protein activity by 58%–97% in both the presence and absence of the IDR, indicating that glycosylation at all four locations is required by the host for the secretion of active enzyme and independent of the removed disordered N-terminal region. Overall, the data provides evidence that the disordered region only partially influences the secretion and membrane localization of BHT.

Editorial: Phenylpropanoid Systems Biology and Biotechnology

Phenylpropanoids are specialized metabolites involved in several aspects of plant growth and development and in the responses of plants to environmental stimuli. These compounds are synthesized from key intermediates of the shikimate pathway, which are structurally modified by the combined activities of lyases, transferases, ligases, reductases and oxygenases, resulting in the organ- and developmental-specific synthesis and accumulation of diverse metabolites (Vogt, 2010). The phenylpropanoid pathway provides the building blocks for lignin, suberin, and condensed tannins that play a role in structural support and mechanical strength. Lignin is a major contributor to feedstock recalcitrance and negatively affects the conversion of plant biomass into downstream products in biorefineries (Liu et al., 2021). Further, this pathway is key for the production of anthocyanins for organ pigmentation, flavonols and flavones for UV protection, various flavonoids and isoflavonoids for plant-microbe interactions, and antimicrobial phytoalexins for protection against pathogens (Deng and Lu, 2017). In addition to their biological functions in planta, phenylpropanoids are economically important metabolites. They constitute important components in the human diet, acting as nutraceutical compounds with antioxidant, chemopreventive, antimitotic, neuroprotective, cardioprotective, and anti-inflammatory activities. Several phenylpropanoids are considered high-value biochemicals employed in the production of fragrances, pharmaceuticals and biopolymers (Lin and Eudes, 2020).

A Simple and Accurate Energy-Detector-Based Transient Waveform Detection for Smart Grids: Real-World Field Data Performance

Integration of distributed energy sources, advanced meshed operation, sensors, automation, and communication networks all contribute to autonomous operations and decision-making processes utilized in the grid. Therefore, smart grid systems require sophisticated supporting structures. Furthermore, rapid detection and identification of disturbances and transients are a necessary first step towards situationally aware smart grid systems. This way, high-level monitoring is achieved and the entire system kept operational. Even though smart grid systems are unavoidably sophisticated, low-complexity algorithms need to be developed for real-time sensing on the edge and online applications to alert stakeholders in the event of an anomaly. In this study, the simplest form of anomaly detection mechanism in the absence of any a priori knowledge, namely, the energy detector (also known as radiometer in the field of wireless communications and signal processing), is investigated as a triggering mechanism, which may include automated alerts and notifications for grid anomalies. In contrast to the mainstream literature, it does not rely on transform domain tools; therefore, utmost design and implementation simplicity are attained. Performance results of the proposed energy detector algorithm are validated by real power system data obtained from the DOE/EPRI National Database of power system events and the Grid Signature Library.

Candidate Core Designs for the Transformational Challenge Reactor

Early cycle activities under the Transformational Challenge Reactor (TCR) program focused on analyzing and maturing four reactor core design concepts: two fast-spectrum systems and two thermal-spectrum systems. A rapid, iterative approach has been implemented through which designs can be modified and analyzed and subcomponents can be manufactured in parallel over time frames of weeks rather than months or years. To meet key program initiatives (e.g., timeline, material use), several constraints—including fissile material availability (less than 250 kg of HALEU), component availabilities, materials compatibility, and additive manufacturing capabilities—were factored into the design effort, yielding small (less than one cubic meter in volume) cores with near-term viability. The fast-spectrum designs did not meet the fissile material constraint, so the thermal-spectrum systems became the primary design focus. Since significant progress has been made on advanced moderator materials (YH x ) under the TCR program, gas-cooled thermal-spectrum systems using less than 250 kg of HALEU that occupy less than 1 m 3 are now feasible. The designs for two of these systems have been evolved and matured. In both thermal-spectrum design concepts, bidirectional coolant flow is used. Coolant flows down through YH x moderator elements and is reversed in a bottom manifold and core support structure, and then flows up though or around the fuel elements. The main difference between the two thermal-spectrum design concepts is the fuel elements—one uses traditional UO 2 ceramic fuel, and the other uses UN-bearing TRISO fuel particles embedded inside a SiC matrix. Finally, core neutronics and thermal performance for these systems are assessed and summarized herein.

3D Printing of Cement-Based Materials Using Seawater for Simulated Marine Environments

Global demand for adaptable and rapidly deployable construction solutions in offshore, coastal, and fluvial environments continues to rise, driven by pressing needs to develop energy platforms, improve coastal resilience, and support emergency response in the face of natural disasters. Increased investment in human-made coastal infrastructure, such as piers, support structures for power lines, offshore wind farms, and seawall protection systems, further underscores this trend. This study investigates the development of printable concrete mixtures for underwater environments using seawater as a replacement for freshwater, using a 3D printing syringe-based extrusion system. The effect of seawater addition and the printing medium (in air vs. underwater) was assessed via rheological and mechanical performance characterization. The results indicate rheological properties are favorable for seawater adoption by producing mixtures with higher yield stress and viscosity with the same levels of admixtures used for freshwater. Seawater-based mixtures demonstrated superior dimensional stability compared to freshwater counterparts, maintaining cross-sectional geometry, while compressive strength results showed no statistical differences between in-air and underwater samples. However, flexural strength was significantly influenced by geometry and printing medium. These findings establish critical rheological parameters for printable underwater mixtures and highlight the need for optimized curing strategies and layer bonding techniques to improve interfacial strength in underwater 3D printing applications.

Advances in Electrospun Poly(ε-caprolactone)-Based Nanofibrous Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering

Tissue engineering has great potential for the restoration of damaged tissue due to injury or disease. During tissue development, scaffolds provide structural support for cell growth. To grow healthy tissue, the principal components of such scaffolds must be biocompatible and nontoxic. Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) is a biopolymer that has been used as a key component of composite scaffolds for tissue engineering applications due to its mechanical strength and biodegradability. However, PCL alone can have low cell adherence and wettability. Blends of biomaterials can be incorporated to achieve synergistic scaffold properties for tissue engineering. Electrospun PCL-based scaffolds consist of single or blended-composition nanofibers and nanofibers with multi-layered internal architectures (i.e., core-shell nanofibers or multi-layered nanofibers). Nanofiber diameter, composition, and mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and drug-loading capacity are among the tunable properties of electrospun PCL-based scaffolds. Scaffold properties including wettability, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility have been further enhanced with scaffold layering, surface modification, and coating techniques. In this article, we review nanofibrous electrospun PCL-based scaffold fabrication and the applications of PCL-based scaffolds in tissue engineering as reported in the recent literature.
