Shafiul Alam | "Working in collaboration with Argonne National Lab, other research institutions, and industry partners, the goal of this research project is to use data from operating hydroelectric plants to more accurately predict when parts will fail, allowing plant operators to minimize downtime from unexpected repairs and maintenance while getting the most use out of each component. By analyzing operational data from the Hydropower Research Institute (HRI) database, our team at Idaho National Lab is working to develop mapping between failure-and-degradation models and legacy hydropower models. My contribution to the project was to outline a method for selecting data from the HRI database and create a correlation matrix for sensors in different systems across the unit, allowing us to analyze how each component responds a particular type of failure event and identify trends among different systems." | Clean Energy Development | 1 | |  | |

| 8/30/2023 9:27 AM | Maggie Aurit | | Lakeshore Technical College | Dr. Rebecca Fushimi | "Ultraviolet-visible-infrared spectroscopy is a method used in a Temporal Analysis of Product catalytic reactor system to examine the changes happening on a catalyst surface during catalysis. This method was used to examine the Catofin process, which includes propane dehydrogenation with a chromium oxide catalyst. Propane was pulsed in nanomole quantities hundreds of times over a fresh catalyst, followed by hundreds of nanomole pulsed of oxygen. Experiments looked at the timing of reduction and oxidation, as well as carbon deposition and removal. Result showed that the reduction of the chromium oxide catalyst occurs very quickly during propane dehydrogenation followed by carbon deposition. During the oxygen pulse cycle, oxidation happens rapidly and is followed by carbon removal. This work hopes to bring efficiency to the large-scale industrial process to lower energy needs." | Clean Energy Development | 3 | |  | |

| 8/30/2023 9:27 AM | Nicole Fessler | | University of Wisconsin-Madison | Brelon May | Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) is an atomically precise deposition technique used to achieve high purity single crystal thin films. Gallium Nitride (GaN) is a radiation-resistant semiconductor that could potentially be used for optoelectronic applications in extreme environments, such as that of a nuclear reactor. In this study, MBE was used to map the growth parameters under which cubic GaN can be produced, while also investigating new suitable substrates for uniform single phase growth. The establishment of epitaxial cubic GaN on hexagonal GaN will open up new possibilities of electronic band structure engineering. Heteroepitaxial integration of wide bandgap cubic GaN with other highly stable cubic transition metal nitrides will exponentiate the possibilities for this material system. | Clean Energy Development | 8 | |  | |

In support of these goals, INL developed a lightweighted, deployable material collection, cleaning, sorting and preprocessing system to make use of garbage generated by troops on the battlefield. To lightweight these industrial unit operations, new designs and alternative materials were used to reduce the weight, but also maintain the strength necessary for normal operations. One critical function of this system is the size reduction shredder, capable of shredding garbage to particles < 5mm so they can be fed into cleaning and conversion reaction systems. Shredders are normally made from ferrous metals and hardened tool steels to withstand wear due to torque and abrasion. To lightweight this shredder, many of the metal parts, such as the frame and spacers, were replaced with parts made from plastics and the hardened steel blades were replaced with blades made from hardened titanium. This reduced the weight of the unit by over 75%. " | Clean Energy Development | 15 | |  | |

| 8/30/2023 9:27 AM | Quinn Michael Mackay | | University of Notre Dame | Gabriella Morales, David Reed, Yoshiko Fujita | Tellurium is a metal critical to development of Cadmium-Telluride Solar Panels, but is exceedingly rare in Earth's Crust (~1 ppb). Tellurium can be bioleached from mine tailings, particularly copper and gold, and understanding Te's speciation in these aqueous solutions is important for downstream processes. Previous experimentation found that a Tellurium speciation assay utilizing Ammonium pyrrolidyldithiocarbamate (APDC) is effective in clean solutions, but less effective in complex solutions containing high concentrations of other metals. In this study, I show that Te speciation assays with APDC can be hindered by competing metals in solution, which can preferentially chelate with APDC prior to tellurium. | Clean Energy Development | 19 | |  | |

| 8/30/2023 9:26 AM | Lucas Jindra | | St. Olaf College | Jake Gentle | In order to reach 100% decarbonized electricity production in the US by 2035, wind and solar generation in conjunction with grid storage capacity must significantly increase to replace carbon-emitting sources. However, many renewable energy projects are waiting to connect to the grid because of congestion, creating a severe hurdle in the way of 100% clean energy. Because of the enormous cost associated with this overhaul, Grid Enhancing Technologies (GETs) offer a cost-effective method of optimizing the grid to facilitate more transmission. GETs like Dynamic Line Ratings (DLR) enable grid operators to push more power through lines depending on weather conditions and Power Flow Controllers (PFCs) can reroute power through congested areas, allowing energy to be transferred more efficiently throughout the grid. Both technologies can decrease congestion, allowing renewable energy projects to connect to the grid and lead the US to transition to clean energy. | Critical Infrastructure and Cybersecurity | 27 | |  | |

Over a three-week period in the summer of 2023, five known CCC snow fences located on the current INL site were recorded in order to gain a greater understanding of the variation between their construction styles. Responsibilities to perform this project included conducting research on the CCC, visiting and recording information about each snow fence – including measurements, associated artifacts, GPS information, and capturing photos – and gathering several images in order to create structure from motion using Agisoft Metashape Pro. The results of this project demonstrated that there are variations in length, width, and height of each of the snow fences, however they were constructed with similar materials, are located in comparable areas on the landscape, and, while partially collapsed, all still have an effective purpose. | INL Business, Communication, and Support Operations | 4 | |  | |

| 8/30/2023 9:27 AM | Gage Nelson | | Idaho State University | Seth Kanter and Dean Stewart | During a radiological emergency, swift determination of the extent and intensity of the radiological materials that have been released to the environment are important for decision makers to correctly assess the hazards and recommend protective actions. In a radiological emergency, natural background counts need to be subtracted from the total activity for the actual amount of activity present to be assessed. This study provides documented survey results of the soils in and around the INL using instrumentation utilized by field monitoring teams that support the INL. Over three hundred alpha background counts were taken. The average alpha background count rate using portable instruments in use by field monitoring teams of the soil is 5 counts per minute and the decision level for activity that should be considered as having activity greater than background is 10 counts per minute. It was also shown that rain or snow can increase the background and its effects are difficult to quantify. | Nuclear Operations | 2 | |  | |

The current configuration of the experiment loop system has an orifice that is not properly sized to the low flow rates of the degas line of the pressurizer system, causing inaccurate flow measurements. Under consideration of flow conditions and system constraints, an iterative procedure was utilized to determine the optimal sizing for a new orifice. This orifice is designed to accurately and precisely measure the flow rate of the degas line, which will consequently improve control of the pressure and chemistry of the loop pressurizer system." | Nuclear Operations | 3 | |  | |

Coverage rates of confidence intervals and goodness of fit of the beta distribution to the bootstrap distribution were assessed using multiple real data sets. Our investigations indicate this approach performs well for highly skewed and zero-inflated data sets and provides sensible confidence intervals for mean unavailability. Also, the beta distribution adequately fits the bootstrap distribution for the majority of the data sets analyzed and provides a parametric uncertainty distribution for unavailability for use in probabilistic risk assessments. The new approach is being implemented in current nuclear industry operating experience data analysis program and will be used in the future parameter updates for probabilistic risk assessment. | Nuclear Operations | 4 | |  | |

Validation is the process of checking the accuracy of software systems. Validation efforts consisted of comparing experimental and simulated flow characteristics for ERCOFTAC case 43 and case 80. ERCOFTAC case 43 measured flow behind a square cylinder. Vortex shedding was present for this case. ERCOFTAC case 80 tested flow profiles for heat exchanger geometries. The tested geometries were 36x16 mm staggered, 36x21 mm staggered, and 36x21 mm inline. For ERCOFTAC case 43, the nondimensionalized Strouhal number was calculated based on averaged simulation data. A value of 0.135 was calculated, which was within expected margins. Average velocity difference between simulated and experimental data for case 80 were 6.22%, 4.52%, and 4.04%, respectively.
