University of Washington Harborview Research and Training Building Environmental Sample Plan for Cs-137 in Soils and Sediments

On May 2, 2019, a release of Cs-137 from a breached sealed source containing 2,800 curies (Ci) (1E14 Bq) of Cesium-137 (Cs-137) occurred at the University of Washington (UW) Harborview Research and Training Building (HRB). The release occurred during removal of the source from its holder within a portable hot cell in the second floor loading dock area. The loading dock and northeast corner of the building above the ground floor were heavily impacted by the release, while the remaining portions of the building and the exterior of the building were minimally impacted.

Kokkos Training Bootcamp

This report documents the completion of milestone STPM12-17 Kokkos Training Bootcamp. The goal of this milestone was to hold a combined tutorial and hackathon bootcamp event for the Kokkos community and prospective users. The Kokkos Bootcamp event was held at Argonne National Laboratories from August 27 — August 29, 2019. Attendance being lower than expected (we believe largely due to bad timing), the team focused with a select set of ECP partners on early work in preparation for Aurora. In particular we evaluated issues posed by exposing SYCL and OpenMP target offload to applications via the Kokkos Pro Model.

Software Requirements for a Consequence Management Sample Data Simulator for Training and Drills

This document describes the requirements for a software tool that will enable FRMAC to simulate large sets of sample result data that is based realistically on simulated radionuclide deposition grids from NARAC. The user of this tool would be scientists involved in exercise and drill planning or part of the simulation cell of an exercise controller team. A key requirement is that this tool must be able to be run with a reasonable amount of training and job aids by any person within the Assessment, Laboratory Analysis, or Monitoring and Sampling divisions of the FRMAC to support any level of exercise from the small IPX to the national level full scale exercise. This tool should be relatively lean and stand-alone so that the user can run it in the field with limited IT resources. This document will describe the desired architecture, design characteristics, order of operations, and algorithms that can be given to a software development team to assist them in project scoping, costing, and eventually, development.

Contingency Contractor Optimization Engineering Prototype – Release 2.3 (Phase 3 Extension – Training Examples)

This document provides training examples to provide users practice in using the tool. Detailed instructions on how to use the tool can be found in the User Manual (SAND2015-6028).The Contingency Contractor Optimization project is intended to address former Secretary Gates’ mandate in a January 2011 memo and DoDI 3020.41 by delivering a centralized strategic planning tool that allows senior decision makers to quickly and accurately assess the impacts, risks, and mitigation strategies associated with utilizing contract support. Based on an electronic storyboard prototype developed in Phase 2, the CCOT-P engineering prototype was refined in Phase 3 of the OSD ATL Contingency Contractor Optimization project to support strategic planning for contingency contractors. CCOT-P uses a model to optimize the total workforce mix by minimizing the combined total costs for the selected mission scenarios. The model will optimize the match of personnel groups (military, DoD civilian, and contractors) and capabilities to meet the mission requirements as effectively as possible, based on risk, cost, and other requirements.

Uranium Enrichment Plant Characteristics - A Training Manual for the IAEA

One of the primary objectives of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Safeguards Training Program is to help new inspectors gain knowledge and develop skills that will be required for them to carry out their duties. The formal instructional program for inspectors within the Agency begins with the Introductory Course on Agency Safeguards (ICAS). Time and resource constraints dictate that this course is devoted specifically to safeguards-related information with the assumption that the students have a basic familiarity with nuclear technology. In some cases, a new inspector’s prior experience may have been specialized to the extent that he is unfamiliar with the basic technology of some of the types of nuclear facilities he will be inspecting. In other cases, a student may find it useful to review the English vocabulary for technical terms he may have encountered in another language. A glossary of important terms is provided in Appendix A.

Sensitive Resources Assessment and Forest Analysis for The SSP-2A Parcel and Proposed Oak Ridge Enhanced Technology and Training Center (ORETTC), Oak Ridge, Tennessee

This report summarizes current knowledge of natural and cultural resources associated with potential land use changes within an 81-acre (32.8-hectare) parcel, termed SSP-2A, on the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee (Figure 1). A primary goal for the work presented here was to evaluate potential impacts to sensitive resources within the SSP-2A parcel that might result from land disturbance and construction of the Oak Ridge Enhanced Technology and Training Center (ORETTC). In addition to on-the-ground surveys of the ORETTC footprint and SSP-2A parcel during summer 2020 (Figure 1), this report leverages historical (pre-1995) and contemporary (1995–present) data from additional sources such as the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC). The individuals who obtained and compiled the data that are presented here are familiar with and routinely assess, manage, and research sensitive resources on the ORR. This report should facilitate more environmentally sound decisions during planning and development of the ORETTC, provide a foundation for further assessment of sensitive and cultural resources associated with the broader SSP-2A parcel (should additional actions take place), and help project managers address regulatory guidance and DOE policy on sustainable development. Those who reference this report must consider that the timing of surveys does not permit complete delineation of resources. Data deficiencies are indicated where possible. Additional surveys may be required to account for seasonal patterns of various threatened and endangered species (e.g., bats), and additional assessment will be required if activities extend beyond the ORETTC site (Figure 2).
