Training and Certification Programs on Industrial Energy Systems in the United States
The major industrial energy systems commonly found in manufacturing facilities are compressed air, ammonia refrigeration, chilled water, steam, process heating, combined heat and power, pumps, and fans. The efficiency of these systems contributes significantly to the whole-facility energy performance. On the national and even the international level, well-structured training and highly recognized certification programs help develop a highly skilled and qualified workforce to maintain and improve facilities' energy performance, particularly as technologies within these systems become more and more advanced. The purpose of this paper is to review currently available vendor-agnostic training and certification programs focusing on these systems and to identify the gap between market needs and currently available programs. Its three major conclusions are (1) most training programs focus on operations, maintenance, safety, and design although some briefly touch on energy performance aspects. (2) The Certified Refrigeration Energy Specialist certification by RETA the and Pump System Assessment Professional certification by HI were the only certifications found to be tool-agnostics and emphasize knowledge and skills for improving and maintaining systems energy performance. (3) Developing energy efficiency focused training and ANSI accredited certification programs for industrial energy systems will fill the gap between market needs and currently available programs.

NJOY2016 updates for ENDF/B-VIII.0
Each release of the ENDF/B library often results in the introduction of new data formats in the ENDF-6 format. With ENDF/B-VIII.0 [1], which was released in February 2018, new formats were added for allowing tabulated fission energy release components in the MF1/MT458 section, to allow for sub-actinide fission and non-neutron induced fission in the MF8/MT18 and MF10/MT18 sections, and to add fission neutron and gamma emission probabilities in the MF6/MT18 section [2]. Processing codes must be adapted to ensure that they are capable of using these new data, or at the very least understand the new formats. NJOY2016, the production version of the nuclear data processing code developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory is no exception to this.

Complex Systems Models and Their Applications: Towards a New Science of Verification, Validation & Uncertainty Quantification
This report contains the written footprint of a Sandia-hosted workshop held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, June 22-23, 2016 on “Complex Systems Models and Their Applications: Towards a New Science of Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification,” as well as of pre-work that fed into the workshop. The workshop’s intent was to explore and begin articulating research opportunities at the intersection between two important Sandia communities: the complex systems (CS) modeling community, and the verification, validation and uncertainty quantification (VVUQ) community The overarching research opportunity (and challenge) that we ultimately hope to address is: how can we quantify the credibility of knowledge gained from complex systems models, knowledge that is often incomplete and interim, but will nonetheless be used, sometimes in real-time, by decision makers?

Improvements in ORIGEN Resource Readers
As part of the effort to modernize the ORIGEN depletion code [1], various “resources” have been created to store the fundamental nuclear data required for ORIGEN calculations, such as fission yields, decay data, and cross sections. The resources provide a convenient interface to load the same data from various file formats. Resources can be used directly in unit conversions (e.g., the decay resource can be used to convert atoms to activity) and are the fundamental input used to create an ORIGEN library, which is a fixed data collection of a specific set of nuclides and transitions. This report focuses on the extension of the yield resource and the decay resource, which allow ENDF-formatted nuclear data files [2] to be read directly.

NJOY Processing of ENDF/B VIII.0 Thermal Scattering Files
“ENDF/B-VIII.0 provides a major update to the ENDF thermal scattering library. Indeed, it is nearly a completely new sub-library. Only the legacy evaluations for Al, Fe, liquid and solid methane, ortho- and para-hydrogen and deuterium and benzene and the ENDF/B-VII.1 evaluations for SiO 2 are unchanged.”

Multimedia Solar Knowledge Library
The GW Solar Institute Multimedia Solar Knowledge Library has been a success. A Google search of “solar training library” brings our website (www.solar.gwu.edu) up as the first result. Our videos have been viewed over 8,000 times and downloaded more than 100 times since we started posting them in the summer of 2017 and these numbers only continue to increase. We have completed and published all thirteen of our videos, all of which have extremely high production value given the budget for this project. We have also completed the development of our second new website to host the videos as well as Phase II material, and uploaded all Phase II material from NREL. This site will serve as a hub for all things solar, from reports to webinars to fact sheets. The videos exist not only on this site but also on the website of our STEP partners where they are exposed directly to our target audiences. On our website there are approximately 50 previously unorganized webinars from NREL as well as over one hundred other resources, (also previously unorganized), broken up into 15 categories so students, researchers, solar employees, and members of the public can become experts on their own time without having to source or ask permission to access these resources themselves. NREL concluded its internal search for additional material that was not publicly accessible and we uploaded this new material to the Phase II website as well. Our videos have already been viewed around the world and our instructional films continue to be viewed and downloaded for probable use in classrooms and by industry professionals. We have been the most popular in California, and we are glad that the state at the vanguard of the solar industry has clearly found our resources valuable.

The Giants of the Nuclear Testing Era: A series of notebooks from the pioneers: The Works of Willis Whitfield
Whitfield's laboratory notebook covers work from late 1960 into 1974. He used the notebook to capture ideas and to summarize what he was working on—including writing papers and traveling— as well as his research. It does not offer a detailed exploration of his thinking leading up to technical advances and it only rarely explicates experimental set-ups. It also has long gaps between some entries. It is nonetheless revealing of his approach, his focus, and his results.
