This paper responds to the April 29, 1998, Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) concerning SECY-98-010, "Petition for Envirocare of Utah, Inc., to Possess SNM in Excess of Current Regulatory Limits" (Attachment 1). This SRM directed the staff to review the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) report on post-disposal criticality at the Barnwell, South Carolina, disposal facility and to inform the...

We present a short summary of progress achieved at the Center for Engineering Science Advanced Research (CESAR) of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in the recently initiated Quantum Teleportation project. The primary objective of this effort is to study the signaling potential of quantum information processing systems based on quantum entanglement. Our initial effort has focused on the ...

The collaboration between Sharp Laboratories of America (SLA), Oregon State University (OSU) and ORNL focused on low thermal budget pulse thermal processing (PTP) technique to develop high performance copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) thin film system for advanced photovoltaic (PV) applications, with the goal to develop novel fabrication processes for the manufacture of low-cost, high-performance ...

Computational astrophysics and climate dynamics are two principal application foci at the Center for Computational Sciences (CCS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). We identify a dataset frontier that is shared by several SciDAC computational science domains and present an exploration of traditional production visualization techniques enhanced with new enabling research technologies such ...
