Fidelity Enhancement of Nuclear Power Plant Simulators Utilizing High Fidelity Simulation Predictions
SBC: WESTERN SERVICES CORPORATION Topic: 30cAccurate simulation of nuclear power plant behavior is necessary for both engineering and training applications. An engineering grade simulator, used for design, safety analysis and operations, is characterized by high fidelity, computational power, lack of real-time capability, and user non-interactive environment. By contrast, a training grade simulator, used for operator training and education, ...

Wide Angle Neutron Spin Echo Device
SBC: ADELPHI TECHNOLOGY INC Topic: 12aThe Neutron Spin Echo (NSE) method has provided unique information about the dynamics of soft materials, including confirmation of the de Gennes model of polymer reptation, and quantitative measurement of the bending constants of various membranes. In almost all cases these measurements have been made at small neutron scattering angles, where structural correlations with length scales between 10 n ...

Novel isotope sensor for spatially-resolved analysis of nutrient exchange in the rhizosphere Topic: 22.a. Technologies for Characterizing the Rhizosphere: Plant-Microbe-Mineral Interactions
SBC: OPTO-KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS INC Topic: 22aEnsuring adequate agricultural productivity in the face of an increasing human population is a major concern with implications for both production of bioenergy products (Jones and Hinsinger, 2008) and global food security. Increasing agricultural productivity requires a stronger understanding of soil biogeochemical processes that impact plant nutrient availability. We propose development of an inn ...

High Quantum Efficiency Uni-Traveling-Carrier Photodiode for Optical to Microwave Transduction
SBC: FREEDOM PHOTONICS LLC Topic: 29dModern quantum information systems employ optical photons for long distance communication, operating at ambient temperature, between microwave cavities, which house microwave photons used in quantum computing and microwave detection. These optical photons, carried by fiber-optic or free-space links, offer a low-cost, uncooled alternative to bulky, expensive microwave coaxial cables, which are loss ...

Development of a breeding system in Chlamydomonas moewusii for improved production strains
SBC: GLOBAL ALGAE INNOVATIONS, INC. Topic: 08cFor economically viable large-scale production of microalgae based food and biofuel to become a reality, significant improvements in algal productivity need to be achieved. With current regulatory guidelines, large scale outdoor cultivation of microalgae for these products restricts the use of transgenic algal strains, which in the laboratory, have thus far been the primary strategy taken to effec ...

Plasma Catalyst Coupling for Improved Conversion of Methane to Liquids
SBC: HIFUNDA LLC Topic: 22cThe discovery of large shale gas reserves in recent years has resulted in the reduction of natural gas price and a need to develop new applications for the available resource. Upgrading shale gas to liquid fuels which are more easily transportable and have greater economic value can result in significant benefits to the US. Coupled with this challenging problem the DOE has a goal of further develo ...

High Power Ceramic Disk Lasers with Gradient Doping Made by Direct Ink Writing
SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC. Topic: 25cThe power output of the high power lasers used in physics research is limited by the materials available for making the gain media in the laser. Future increases in power will require new and better materials. Operation at high power creates great thermal stresses that can lead to effects such as birefringence, thermal lensing or even physical fracture damage to the host itself. Effective cooling ...

Expanding Access to Electronic Property Modeling in Scintillator Crystal Growth and Development
SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC. Topic: 03aThe development of radiation detection materials would benefit with greater access to computational models that relate physical traits seen in manufacture with complex energy transitions occurring in the material that control operating performance. However, the HPC requirements behind these models remain beyond the reach of most businesses involved in this small yet vital field impacting National ...

User Location-Specific Data for Smarter Smart Grids
SBC: ERIK PAGE & ASSOCIATES, INC. Topic: 06bSociety at large and DOE in particular have an interest in the continued development and refinement of a smart grid infrastructure that more efficiently and reliably matches electrical resources to demands. While technological advances in recent years have improved the smart grid, these advances have been limited by a lack of granularity of data (e.g. environmental conditions at multiple locations ...
