Title: Navy Enhanced Sierra Mechanics (NESM): Toolbox for predicting Navy shock and damage

Abstract

Here, the US Navy is developing a new suite of computational mechanics tools (Navy Enhanced Sierra Mechanics) for the prediction of ship response, damage, and shock environments transmitted to vital systems during threat weapon encounters. NESM includes fully coupled Euler-Lagrange solvers tailored to ship shock/damage predictions. NESM is optimized to support high-performance computing architectures, providing the physics-based ship response/threat weapon damage predictions needed to support the design and assessment of highly survivable ships. NESM is being employed to support current Navy ship design and acquisition programs while being further developed for future Navy fleet needs.

Rail Shock and Vibration Pre-Test Modeling of a Used Nuclear Fuel Assembly

Conference Ross, Steven B. ; Klymyshyn, Nicholas A. ; Jensen, Philip J. ; ...

The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE), Office of Fuel Cycle Technology, has established the Used Fuel Disposition Campaign (UFDC) to conduct the research and development activities related to storage, transportation, and disposal of used nuclear fuel (UNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW). The mission of the UFDC is to identify alternatives and conduct scientific research and technology development to enable storage, transportation and disposal of used nuclear fuel and HLW generated by existing and future nuclear fuel cycles. The Storage and Transportation staff within the UFDC is responsible for addressing issues regarding the long-term or extendedmore »« less
Sensitivity and Uncertainty Workflow of Full System SIERRA Models Supporting High Consequence Applications

Technical Report Orient, George Edgar ; Clay, Robert L. ; Friedman-Hill, Ernest Joseph ; ...

Credibility of end-to-end CompSim (Computational Simulation) models and their agile execution requires an expressive framework to describe, communicate and execute complex computational tool chains representing the model. All stakeholders from system engineering and customers through model developers and V&V partners need views and functionalities of the workflow representing the model in a manner that is natural to their discipline. In the milestone and in this report we define workflow as a network of computation simulation activities executed autonomously on a distributed set of computational platforms. The FY19 ASC L2 Milestone (6802) for the Integrated Workflow (IWF) project was designed tomore »« less

Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program: 1976. Hearing before the Subcommittee on Legislation of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, Congress of the United States, Ninety-Fourth Congress, Second Session. Testimony of Admiral H. G. Rickover, March 18, 1976

Book

Hearings were held on the U.S. Navy nuclear propulsion program and the ERDA light water breeder reactor program (which has both civilian and military implications). Principal witnesses were Richard W. Roberts of ERDA and Admiral H. G. Rickover. The Navy fleet consisting of 152 nuclear vehicles (138 submarines) is smaller than the Russian fleet, which has no nuclear surface vessels. Testimony covered the status of submarine construction, performance, missiles, cost, and safety. No accidents or casualties have resulted in damage to fuel or release of fission products in spite of the accumulated 1400 years of reactor operation. Care in themore »« less
PipeSight: A High-Performance Computing Platform for Pipeline Integrity Management

Technical Report Spring, Daniel ; Panzarella, Charles ; Stenta, Aaron ; ...

The Phase I feasibility study completed as part of this project has led to a number of innovative technologies being developed and has laid the foundation for a successful Phase II effort to commercialize a platform for managing the integrity of pipelines for the damage mechanisms of the new, hybrid-energy based economy. To ground the development efforts and direction of the project, an extensive market research and customer discovery effort was undertaken early in Phase I. Through this effort, a number of pipeline owners and operators were interviewed, and the following key findings were discovered about the pipeline industry: •more »« less

Environmental Security Benefits Arising from Russian/Norwegian/U.S. Cooperation in the High Arctic

Conference Dyer, R. S. ; Moskowitz, P. D. ; Czajkowski, C. J. ; ...

Past practices associated with the civilian and military use of nuclear power in NW Russia present large environmental security risks of international concern. These risks arise from a variety of practices associated with weapons production, testing, power production and waste management. The threats presented by these activities are multimedia in nature, span political boundaries and cannot be simply or inexpensively remediated. Today, cooperative efforts are being undertaken to improve environmental security by remediating existing and potential emission sources. Initial efforts focused on the upgrade and expansion of the Murmansk Low-level Liquid Waste Treatment Facility, Murmansk, Russia. This facility handles wastesmore »« less
