AMPP Newsletter (Jun 2021)

Welcome to our June 2021 issue of the AMPP newsletter. I hope the information you find within this newsletter allows you, as either a new addition to AMPP or as a long-term AMPP family member, to gain a better understanding of our organization and how we are working to meet not just our mission deliverables of today, but preparing for our future. In this newsletter issue the articles are dedicated to the principle of how we do work is as important as what we do. AMPP is known for excellence in our NNSA and DOE Missions execution. In this issue we are highlighting our Heat Source Final Assembly (HSFA) manufacturing efforts. Although what we produce for our HSFA customer is important their faith in us as an organization is just as much based on how we perform work to ensure that we safely and securely produce a quality product. We have added a new section to the newsletter called the “Group Leader Corner” where in this issues Chasity Kolar, the Group Leader for AMPP-3, discusses what it means to have a questioning attitude.

Antarctic Meteorite Newsletter, Volume 31, No. 1

This newsletter reports 418 new meteorites from the 2004 and 2006 ANSMET seasons from the Cumulus Hills (CMS), LaPaz Ice Field (LAP), Graves Nunataks (GRA), Grosvenor Mountains (GRO), Larkman Nunatak (LAR), MacAlpine Hills (MAC), Miller Range (MIL), Roberts Massif (RBT), and Scott Glacier (SCO). These new samples include one iron, 1 eucrite, 1 mesosiderite, 6 CK chondrites (2 with pairing), 2 CV3 chondrites, 1 CM1, 7 CM2 (4 with pairing), 3 CR2 (2 with pairing), and one each of a type 3 L and H chondrites. The CK6 chondrites (LAR 06869, 06872, 06873) are unusual in that they have no discernable chondrules, extremely fine-grained texture, and are full of veins. This newsletter represents a break from recent newsletters in which we have announced many unusual and popular samples, including new lunar and martian meteorites, an unusual achondrite (GRA 06128 and 06129 the topic of a special session at this years LPSC).

AMPP Newsletter (Sep 2020)

I am excited to introduce the third 2020 issue of Actinide Materials Processing and Power Division’s quarterly newsletter, with a focus on “excellence in mission operations.” Excellence in mission operations requires the execution of sustained operations that are reliable and responsive to mission needs across all work being performed in AMPP. For all of us, adherence to Conduct of Operations principles and strong work planning and execution is essential to achieving a safe and productive environment that enables overall excellence. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic response, you have all shown how AMPP has a division exemplifies this focus area. Highlights of our outstanding operational work under the threat of COVID-19 have been featured in our weekly newsletters.

Antarctic Meteorite Newsletter, Volume 29, Number 1

This newsletter contains classifications for 597 new meteorites from the 2003 and 2004 ANtarctic Search for METeorites (ANSMET) seasons. They include samples from the Cumulus Hills, Dominion Range, Grosvenor Mountains, LaPaz Icefield, MacAlpine Hills, and the Miller Range. Macroscopic and petrographic descriptions are given for 25 of the new meteorites: 1 acapulcoite/Iodranite, 1 howardite, 1 diogenite, 2 eucrites, 1 enstatite chondrite, four L3 and two H3 chondrites, 2 CM, 3 CK and 1 CV chondrites, three R chondrites, and four impact melt breccias (with affinities for H and L). Likely the most interesting sample announced in this newsletter is LAP04840, with affinity to R chondrites. This meteorite contains approximately 15% horneblende, and has mineral compositional ranges and oxygen isotopic values similar to those of R chondrites. The presence of an apparently hydrous phase in this petrologic grade 6 chondrite is very unusual, and should be of great interest to many meteoriticists.

The Lifetime Surveillance of Astronaut Health Newsletter

The June 2010 LSAH newsletter introduced the change from the Longitudinal Study of Astronaut Health research study to the new Lifetime Surveillance of Astronaut Health program (An Overview of the New Occupational Surveillance Program for the Astronaut Corps). Instead of performing research-focused retrospective analyses of astronaut medical data compared to a JSC civil servant control population, the new program is focused on prevention of disease and prospective identification and mitigation of health risks in each astronaut due to individual exposure history and the unique occupational exposures experienced by the astronaut corps. The new LSAH program has 5 primary goals: (1) Provide a comprehensive medical exam for each LSAH participant; (2) Conduct occupational surveillance; (3) Improve communication, data accessibility, integrity and storage; (4) Support operational and healthcare analyses; and (5) Support NASA research objectives. This article will focus primarily on the first goal, the comprehensive medical exam. Future newsletters will outline in detail the plans and processes for addressing the remaining program goals.

The Lifetime Surveillance of Astronaut Health Newsletter

This volume of the Newsletter discusses the Johnson Space Center Clinic (JSC) restarting in-person Lifetime Surveillance of Astronaut Health (LSAH) Formers Examinations after being on hold due to COVID-19 as well as introducing a forthcoming option for LSAH Virtual Surveillance. JSC welcomes three new members of the JSC Clinic who will be heavily involved in Formers Exams. Finally, from the LSAH team, the newsletter talks about how your health data is utilized through the IMPALA platform for research such as the SANS Maturation Project, and building the LSAH Evidence Base to understand prostate cancer trends in the astronaut corps compared to other comparison cohorts.

AMPP Newsletter - May 2020

A message from Stacy McLaughlin, Division Leader: I am excited to introduce the second 2020 issue of Actinide Materials Processing and Power Division’s newsletter, with a focus on “excellence in Plutonium missions.” AMPP Division not only supports the 2020 Laboratory Agenda item 1, Excellence in Nuclear Security, but additionally directly supports Laboratory Agenda item 2, Excellence in Mission- Focused Science Technology & Engineering, focusing on sustaining and enhancing LANL’s science base. This issue highlights the diverse efforts of personnel in AMPP Division to enhance science, technology, and engineering (ST&E) at the Laboratory. As we reflect on work at the Laboratory, mostly from our homes due to COVID-19, it is gratifying to see the important, diverse contributions to ST&E across AMPP Division.

National Security & International Studies (Q1 FY2021 Newsletter)

Happy New Year to everyone. Activity in the office continues to be at a high pace with the addition of the Strategic Analyses and Assessments (SAA) Office from ALDX, and the Mission Integration (MI) Office (formerly known as Nuclear and Military [NMA] Office) from DDW. We are working closely to optimize the impact of our combined offices. In this issue of our newsletter, we will highlight programs from the SAA Office portfolio, delve into our interactions with the Project on Nuclear Issues (PONI) program from CSIS, introduce you to new staff in NSIS and review a new joint postdoc program with the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation and the Center for Global Security Research at LLNL. I also encourage you to take a look at the new NSIS website for more information on the office. Finally, the NSIS office will soon be kicking off a webinar series on starting with topics of interest to the Director’s Strategic Resilience Initiative and will grow beyond that. Stay tuned for more information. --John Scott, Acting Office Director, NSIS
