12-Oct-2020 Machine-learning technique from Sandia Labs could improve fusion energy outputs DOE/Sandia National Laboratories Grant and Award Announcement Machine learning techniques are being used to improve simulations of the reactor's wall material as it interacts with plasma. This has been beyond he scope of atomic-scale simulations of the past.The expected result should suggest procedural or structural modifications to improve nuclear energy output. Funder .

8-Oct-2020 Los Alamos to lead fuel cell consortia DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory Representing hydrogen's atomic weight of 1.008, National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day is Thursday, October 8. As part of the government effort to drive improvements in hydrogen and fuel cell work, several new consortia have been awarded, and Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists co-lead two of them, partnering on a third.
8-Oct-2020 Successful crash test meets major milestone for nuclear deterrence program DOE/Sandia National Laboratories Business Announcement A full-scale crash test involving a semitruck impacting the side of the first prototype of a new weapons transporter successfully took place at Sandia National Laboratories this summer. Using the labs' sled track, rockets propelled the semitractor-trailer at highway speeds into the prototype, an over-the-road Mobile Guardian Transporter. Data from the event will be used for qualification of the transporter and to better understand cargo response in accident scenarios for years to come. Funder National Nuclear Security Administration
