Baseline Characterization Database Verification Report ? NBG-17 Billet V104

The purpose of this report is to present data collected in the Baseline Graphite Characterization Program, which is directly tasked with supporting the Idaho National Laboratory’s (INL’s) research and development efforts on the Advanced Reactor Technologies (ART) Program. This program populates a comprehensive database that reflects the baseline properties of nuclear-grade graphite regarding individual grade, billet, and position within individual billets. The physical- and mechanical-property information being collected will be transferred to the Nuclear Data Management and Analysis System (NDMAS), and that database will help populate the handbook of property data available to member nations of the Generation-IV International Forum. Transfer of these data from the applicable technical lead to the dissemination databases available to other end users requires a full review of the test procedures and data-collection efforts through an analysis of the multiple summary spreadsheets and values being collected. This report represents the analysis for NBG-17 Billet V104 and facilitates release of associated data to the NDMAS custodians. Millions of raw data points have been collected during testing and quantification analyses for these billets. The summary scalar property values and supplementary traceability data are collected into comprehensive spreadsheets. Data sets are composed of single billets of graphite for any given grade, organized by mechanical test-specimen type, and further subdivided into individual spreadsheet tabs according to the specific test or evaluation being performed. A direct analysis of properties was not conducted, and this report does not provide information on the validity or performance characteristics of the graphite itself. Rather, this report is intended as a verification of the completeness of actual data collected in accordance with PLN-3467, “Baseline Graphite Characterization Plan: Electromechanical Testing,” [1] and PLN-3348 “Graphite Mechanical Testing” [2] and their representation of the measurement and test results with sole regard to the graphite billets under evaluation.

MARVEL Reactor Fuel Performance Report

The Microreactor Applications Research Validation and EvaLuation (MARVEL) project is producing a high temperature liquid metal-cooled nuclear test bed at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to ultimately improve the integration of microreactors to end-user applications. This ambitious effort seeks to design, authorize, construct, test, and operate the reactor within five years. In order to construct and operate the MARVEL reactor in a timely manner, the system will utilize materials and component designs which have already been used, qualified, or licensed from previous reactors. The MARVEL reactor will be located at the INL Transient Reactor Test (TREAT) facility in the north high-bay equipment pit and will use the existing 304 stainless steel-clad U-ZrH1.6 pin-type fuel system developed by General Atomics and purchased from TRIGA International. This fuel has been previously qualified under the United States Department of Energy’s (US DOE) Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors (RERTR) Program. Even though the regulator of the MARVEL reactor is the US DOE, the standards and overall approach recommended by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is well-defined and utilized here. Following NUREG-1537 regulatory guidance, this report documents the authorization case for the MARVEL fuel system’s application to MARVEL and establishes stable and predictable fuel performance during the most thermophysically unfavorable conditions achievable in the MARVEL reactor. To that end, this report provides a comprehensive survey of the known thermophysical properties, performance, and quantitative relationships associated with the MARVEL reactor fuel element and uses this information to determine its mechanical integrity and risk of reaching unacceptable conditions during the most extreme accident scenarios predicted for the reactor using the most conservative assumptions available. The information contained herein is compiled from a combination of historical reports and peer reviewed scientific publication manuscripts. Known mechanisms under which the fuel is susceptible to failure are highlighted and compared to conditions that could exist in the MARVEL reactor during an unanticipated transient or accident scenario. The two scenarios considered for analysis in this report are (1) an unprotected loss of flow accident and (2) a hypothetical unprotected loss of coolant accident during the loss of flow accident. Preliminary 2D steady-state analyses herein indicate that both fuel-cladding chemical interactions and fuel-cladding mechanical interactions are negligible throughout the fuel’s operational cycle under both normal and high temperature accident scenario conditions. Although higher fidelity 3D time-dependent modeling and simulations are planned, the following may be concluded presently. The MARVEL fuel element maintains its geometric stability and structural integrity during the most extreme accident scenarios predicted for the MARVEL reactor. The hoop stress during the unprotected loss of flow accident reaches about -1.27 MPa; this negative stress indicates that it is compressive rather than tensile. The compressive stress is a result of the NaK pressure on the outside of the fuel element, caused by the restricted thermal expansion of the NaK coolant, exceeding the internal pressures generated inside of the fuel element. The hoop stress generated in the cladding during the unprotected loss of coolant accident reaches a maximum of about approximately 10 MPa, which is nearly an order of magnitude less than the predicted yield strength of the cladding under high-temperature accident scenario conditions. Calculations were compared with results from high performance computational simulations using BISON and are in very close agreement. A conservative MARVEL fuel meat peak temperature limit of 900 °C is recommended presently, which is about 180 °C higher than the peak fuel temperature predicted to occur during the most extreme accident. Based on the known properties and behavior of the MARVEL fuel element, the fuel successfully meets its design and safety requirements under normal and most extreme accident conditions with a large safety margin.

AGC-4 Specimen Post-Irradiation Examination Data Interim Report

This interim report documents preliminary results of the post-irradiation examination material property testing from the fourth advanced graphite creep (AGC), AGC 4, capsule specimens. This is the fourth of a series of six irradiation test trains planned as part of the AGC experiment to fully characterize the neutron irradiation effects and radiation creep behavior of current nuclear graphite grades to moderate dose levels (=7 dpa). The AGC 4 capsule was irradiated in the Idaho National Laboratory Advanced Test Reactor at a nominal temperature of 800°C and to a peak dose of 8 dpa. Half of the AGC-4 specimens were subjected to compressive stresses to induce irradiation creep. Post-irradiation testing and measurement results are reported with the exception of thermal testing, which is still in progress, and irradiation mechanical strength testing. Additionally, some specimens initially deemed too hot to be examined in the ART Graphite laboratory may still be measured. The data reported includes specimen dimensions for both stressed and unstressed specimens to establish the irradiation creep rates, mass and dimensional data necessary to derive density, elastic constants (Young?s modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson?s ratio) from ultrasonic time of flight velocity measurements, Young?s modulus from the fundamental frequency of vibration, and electrical resistivity. A more complete evaluation of trends in the material property changes, as well as irradiation-induced creep due to the irradiation environment and applied load on the specimens, will be discussed later in AGC 4 post-irradiation examination analysis reports.

Classifying Cancer Pathology Reports with Hierarchical Self-Attention Networks

We introduce a deep learning architecture, hierarchical self-attention networks (HiSANs), designed for classifying pathology reports and show how its unique architecture leads to a new state-of-the-art in accuracy, faster training, and clear interpretability. We evaluate performance on a corpus of 374,899 pathology reports obtained from the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program. Each pathology report is associated with five clinical classification tasks – site, laterality, behavior, histology, and grade. We compare the performance of the HiSAN against other machine learning and deep learning approaches commonly used on medical text data – Naive Bayes, logistic regression, convolutional neural networks, and hierarchical attention networks (the previous state-of-the-art). We show that HiSANs are superior to other machine learning and deep learning text classifiers in both accuracy and macro F-score across all five classification tasks. Compared to the previous state-of-the-art, hierarchical attention networks, HiSANs not only are an order of magnitude faster to train, but also achieve about 1% better relative accuracy and 5% better relative macro F-score.

Thermophilic Chassis-Enabled High-Throughput Selection of a Thermostable Fluorogenic Reporter

Thermostable proteins show increased shelf life and performance at elevated temperatures and under harsh conditions, resulting in lower costs for various industrial and biotechnological applications. However, due to a limited understanding of the relationship between stability and function, protein stabilization remains primarily a trial-and-error approach. Therefore, building a combinatorial library of mutations predicted to improve stability, followed by experimental testing, represents a markedly improved methodology. However, the lack of high-throughput approaches to screen even a moderately sized library presents a major bottleneck in the field. Here, in this study, we use a thermophile, Parageobacillus thermoglucosidasius (Ptherm) to rapidly screen combinatorial libraries consisting of rationally designed thermostabilizing mutations (∼10 3 –10 4 ) of a mesophilic fluorescent reporter, Y-FAST. On a Petri dish, microbial growth at an elevated temperature and exposure to fluorogen yielded several colonies of Ptherm that showed distinct fluorescence at 55 and 68 °C in our two sequentially generated libraries using Rosetta and ProteinMPNN, respectively. The Y-FAST variants isolated from fluorescent colonies were brighter than Y-FAST and showed higher resistance to thermal and chemical denaturation. AlphaFold-predicted structures and MD simulations revealed stability-enhancing salt bridges and hydrogen bond networks in the isolated FAST variants. The moderately thermostable FAST (tsFAST) and hyperstable FAST (hsFAST) were then demonstrated as translation reporters for protein expression and folding at elevated temperatures, such as 55 and 68 °C. Our approach of combinatorial library generation and high-throughput screening in a thermophilic chassis could, in principle, be extended to other proteins fused to these translation reporters. Furthermore, the hsFAST protein is small─half the size of the green fluorescent protein─and does not require oxygen for maturation, making it ideal for engineering extremophilic anaerobes for biosensing and bioconversion.

A biological perspective towards a standard for information exchange and reporting in XAS

The complex structural landscape of biological samples and their sensitivity to X-ray exposure leads to specific challenges in biological X-ray absorption spectroscopy (bio-XAS) research, which in turn has necessitated standardization of various aspects of bio-XAS data measurement, analysis and interpretation. The bio-XAS community is therefore well suited for the development of a data-reporting standard with the specific aim of creating a feedback loop for improving/standardizing data analysis protocols and optionally to make published data available to collaborators/researchers in a meaningful and quantitative format. The XIF (XAFS information file) reporting format presented here contains key experimental and analysis parameters, useful in developing a consistent platform for bio-XAS research worldwide. Such a reporting standard, enforced by the user community and publishing groups alike, can be an important step towards the standardization of data measurement and analysis techniques in bio-XAS.

Identification of circadian rhythms in Nannochloropsis species using bioluminescence reporter lines

Circadian clocks allow organisms to predict environmental changes caused by the rotation of the Earth. Although circadian rhythms are widespread among different taxa, the core components of circadian oscillators are not conserved and differ between bacteria, plants, animals and fungi. Stramenopiles are a large group of organisms in which circadian rhythms have been only poorly characterized and no clock components have been identified. In this work, we have investigated cell division and molecular rhythms in Nannochloropsis species. In the four strains tested, cell division occurred principally during the night period under diel conditions; however, these rhythms damped within 2–3 days after transfer to constant light. We developed firefly luciferase reporters for the long-term monitoring of in vivo transcriptional rhythms in two Nannochlropsis species, Nannochloropsis oceanica CCMP1779 and Nannochloropsis salina CCMP537. The reporter lines express anticipatory behavior under light/dark cycles and free-running bioluminescence rhythms with periods of ~21–31 h that damped within ~3–4 days under constant light. Using different entrainment regimes, we demonstrate that these rhythms are modulated by a circadian-type oscillator. In addition, the phase of free-running luminescence rhythms can be modulated pharmacologically using a CK1 ε/δ inhibitor, suggesting a role of this kinase in the Nannochloropsis clock. Finally, together with the molecular and genomic tools available for Nannochloropsis species, these reporter lines represent an excellent system for future studies on the molecular mechanisms of stramenopile circadian oscillators.

Secondary Crash Identification using Crowdsourced Waze User Reports

Secondary crashes are crashes that occur as a result of the nonrecurrent congestion originating from primary crashes, and always have a greater impact on safety and traffic than a single crash. A better understanding of secondary crashes would benefit traffic incident management, and this requires accurate identification of secondary crashes. This study explores using crowdsourced Waze user reports to identify secondary crashes. Here, a network-based clustering algorithm is proposed to extract the primary crash cluster, including all user reports originating from the primary crash, and any crash that occurred within the cluster would be a secondary crash. This method works as a filter to select accurate primary–secondary relationships, thus precisely identifying secondary crashes. A case study is performed with crashes occurring from June to December 2019 on a 30-mi stretch of I-40 in Knoxville, TN. A static threshold method (crash duration and 10 mi) was used to preselect the potential primary–secondary crash pairs, and 75 out of 708 crashes were identified as potential secondary crashes. Based on the preselected primary–secondary crash pairs, 17 secondary crashes were obtained with the proposed method and the results were compared with one of the commonly used methods, the speed contour plot method. Though the proposed method captured fewer secondary crashes, it did identify several secondary crashes that could not be observed with the speed contour plot method. The results showed the applicability of the method and the potential of crowdsourced Waze user reports in secondary crash identification.

A meta-evaluation of the quality of reporting and execution in ecological meta-analyses

Quantitatively summarizing results from a collection of primary studies with meta-analysis can help answer ecological questions and identify knowledge gaps. The accuracy of the answers depends on the quality of the meta-analysis. We reviewed the literature assessing the quality of ecological meta-analyses to evaluate current practices and highlight areas that need improvement. From each of the 18 review papers that evaluated the quality of meta-analyses, we calculated the percentage of meta-analyses that met criteria related to specific steps taken in the meta-analysis process (i.e., execution) and the clarity with which those steps were articulated (i.e., reporting). We also re-evaluated all the meta-analyses available from Pappalardo et al. to extract new information on ten additional criteria and to assess how the meta-analyses recognized and addressed non-independence. In general, we observed better performance for criteria related to reporting than for criteria related to execution; however, there was a wide variation among criteria and meta-analyses. Meta-analyses had low compliance with regard to correcting for phylogenetic non-independence, exploring temporal trends in effect sizes, and conducting a multifactorial analysis of moderators (i.e., explanatory variables). In addition, although most meta-analyses included multiple effect sizes per study, only 66% acknowledged some type of non-independence. The types of non-independence reported were most often related to the design of the original experiment (e.g., the use of a shared control) than to other sources (e.g., phylogeny). We suggest that providing specific training and encouraging authors to follow the PRISMA EcoEvo checklist recently developed by O’Dea et al. can improve the quality of ecological meta-analyses.

Sample Identifiers and Metadata Reporting Format for Environmental Systems Science

The ESS-DIVE sample identifiers and metadata reporting format primarily follows the System for Earth Sample Registration (SESAR) Global Sample Number (IGSN) guide and template, with modifications to address Environmental Systems Science (ESS) sample needs and practicalities (IGSN-ESS). IGSNs are associated with standardized metadata to characterize a variety of different sample types (e.g. object type, material) and describe sample collection details (e.g. latitude, longitude, environmental context, date, collection method). Globally unique sample identifiers, particularly IGSNs, facilitate sample discovery, tracking, and reuse; they are especially useful when sample data is shared with collaborators, sent to different laboratories or user facilities for analyses, or distributed in different data files, datasets, and/or publications. To develop recommendations for multidisciplinary ecosystem and environmental sciences, we first conducted research on related sample standards and templates. We provide a comparison of existing sample reporting conventions, which includes mapping metadata elements across existing standards and Environment Ontology (ENVO) terms for sample object types and environmental materials. We worked with eight U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) funded projects, including those from Terrestrial Ecosystem Science and Subsurface Biogeochemical Research Scientific Focus Areas. Project scientists tested the process of registering samples for IGSNs and associated metadata in workflows for multidisciplinary ecosystem sciences. We provide modified IGSN metadata guidelines to account for needs of a variety of related biological and environmental samples. While generally following the IGSN core descriptive metadata schema, we provide recommendations for extending sample type terms, and connecting to related templates geared towards biodiversity (Darwin Core) and genomic (Minimum Information about any Sequence, MIxS) samples and specimens. ESS-DIVE recommends registering samples for IGSNs through SESAR, and we include instructions for registration using the IGSN-ESS guidelines. Our resulting sample reporting guidelines, template (IGSN-ESS), and identifier approach can be used by any researcher with sample data for ecosystem sciences.

ESS-DIVE Reporting Format for File-level Metadata

The ESS-DIVE reporting format for file-level metadata (FLMD) provides granular information at the data file level to describe the contents, scope, and structure of the data file to enable comparison of data files within a data package. The FLMD are fully consistent with and augment the metadata collected at the data package level. We developed the FLMD template based on a review of a small number of existing FLMD in use at other agencies and repositories with valuable input from the Environmental Systems Science (ESS) Community. Also included is a template for a CSV Data Dictionary where users can provide file-level information about the contents of a CSV data file (e.g., define column names, provide units). Files are in .csv, .xlsx, and .md. Templates are in both .csv and .xlsx (open with e.g. Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice, or Google Sheets). Open the .md files by downloading and using a text editor (e.g. Notepad or TextEdit). Though we provide Excel templates for the file-level metadata reporting format, our instructions encourage users to 'Save the FLMD template as a CSV following the CSV Reporting Format guidance'. In addition, we developed the ESS-DIVE File Level Metadata Extractor which is a lightweight python script that can extract some FLMD fields following the recommended FLMD format and structure.

ESS-DIVE reporting format for field measurements of soil respiration

This is a new data and metadata reporting format for soil respiration data, based on engagement with a wide range of researchers in the earth and ecological sciences as well as expert advisory panels. Reporting formats are intended to be ‘bottom-up’, community-developed documents and templates that can enable consistent, findable, accessible, interoperable, and reproducible (FAIR) data; our goal was a reporting format that would be relevant and useful for synthesis activities, optimizing data discoverability and usability while not placing an undue burden on data contributors. The format is split into two levels of information—metadata about chambers (used to measure soil respiration in the field), and the measured data themselves. The file data_reportingformat_template.xlsx contains information on how the data table should be structured, including field names, field descriptions, and units; the chammetadata_reportingformat_template.xlsx file contains similar information for the chamber-level metadata. Fundamentally, this format aims to enable FAIR data through an easy-to-use guide for data providers interested in formatting their data in a common way, and provide ‘future-proofing’ capabilities to support reanalyses of soil respiration data, a globally-important component of the carbon cycle.
