Sandia National Laboratories is conducting laboratory and potential underground tests to better understand shear stresses and strains along discontinuities in salt formations. Upcoming laboratory tests in 2017 will apply controlled shear stresses to salt samples containing clay seams and measure the effects on shear and fracture strength. The results will be used to improve models of shear behavior along interfaces. Potential future underground tests in a salt alcove in 2018 would apply stresses to a salt pillar containing a clay seam using pressurized flatjacks to directly observe shear deformation responses in situ. The aim is to reduce modeling uncertainties regarding permeability and deformation of salt near discontinuities.
The document summarizes the current status of research in the joint project WEIMOS. The project involves partners from Germany and the United States studying rock mechanical modeling of salt for final radioactive waste disposal. Work packages include studying deformation behavior at small stresses, the influence of temperature on damage reduction, tensile stresses, and the effect of inhomogeneities like layer boundaries. The goal is to improve analysis of salt's long-term integrity around an underground waste repository through advanced modeling. Current work includes laboratory creep testing, modeling salt dome uplift rates, and developing a virtual 3D demonstration model.
This document discusses efforts to model groundwater flow near the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) salt repository using the d3f++ and PFLOTRAN codes.

Key discussions focused on data gaps in solubility models and understanding actinide redox processes under repository conditions. The workshop facilitated productive discussions between international researchers and showed continued progress is being made in salt repository research despite challenges.
Sandia National Laboratories researchers presented a preliminary salt design concept for disposing of high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel in salt geologic settings. They proposed direct disposal of glassified high-level waste in stainless steel canisters and using robust steel overpacks for spent nuclear fuel. Waste packages would be emplaced transversely in just-in-time constructed drifts and immediately backfilled with crushed salt to limit radiation exposure and provide stability. Thermal analysis indicated waste package spacing of around 8 meters for spent fuel and 3 to 7.7 meters for high-level waste would be sufficient to limit temperatures. The design aims to simplify handling and take advantage of salt's ability to self-heal around the waste packages.
This document discusses the ventilation system upgrades and long-term plans at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) facility. It outlines the historic and current ventilation modes, upgrades made after a radiological event in 2014, and plans for a new permanent ventilation system and exhaust shaft to support operations through 2050. This will include a new filter building capable of handling all underground exhaust air, as well as potentially a new shaft with hoisting capability to replace the aging salt handling shaft and enhance material and waste handling operations over the long term.
The document discusses recovery efforts at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) following incidents in 2014 that halted operations. Key points include:
- Ground control challenges from lack of maintenance during the shutdown and restrictions with protective equipment. Efforts are ongoing to catch up.
- Waste emplacement in Panel 7 resumed in 2017 with shipments restarting and ramping up to support filling available space for the next 3-4 years.
- Mining of new Panel 8 is planned to begin in 2017 to provide additional disposal capacity, requiring removal of left equipment.
- Recovery includes safety upgrades, restoring infrastructure, initial closures, and planning future mining and closures through 2024.
EPA reviewed DOE's 2014 application to recertify the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) for radioactive waste disposal. EPA conducted a completeness review and requested four sensitivity studies from DOE to address issues. The studies found that mean total releases increased under some modified assumptions but did not exceed limits. As a result, EPA recertified WIPP in July 2017 while recommending areas for DOE to improve in future applications.
This document summarizes work from the KOSINA project to develop generic repository concepts for storing heat-generating nuclear waste in bedded salt formations in Germany. It outlines four repository design concepts - drift disposal of casks, horizontal borehole disposal of canisters, vertical borehole disposal of canisters, and direct disposal of transport casks. For each concept, the repository layout, waste packaging and emplacement methods are described. The document also reviews the types and amounts of nuclear waste according to Germany's waste management program and summarizes the project's objectives to fill gaps in repository design and safety demonstration for bedded salt formations.
This document discusses the interaction between operational safety and long-term safety for geological radioactive waste repositories. It outlines challenges in developing a safety case that addresses both operational and post-closure phases. The project aims to identify impacts that operation may have on long-term safety and vice versa. This is done through a feature, event, and process catalog that identifies hazards during the operational phase and assesses their relevance for long-term safety. The work will help illustrate the balance and linkage between ensuring safety during facility operation and after closure.
This document summarizes discussions from a workshop on salt repository research. It addresses key issues regarding the reconsolidation of crushed salt backfill material used in nuclear waste repositories. Specifically, it discusses:
1) Understanding the relevant mechanisms (e.g. dislocation creep, pressure solution creep) and conditions (e.g. porosity, temperature) that influence reconsolidation.
2) Identifying gaps in experimental data on reconsolidation, especially at low porosities and relevant load conditions, to improve model validation.
3) Evaluating existing reconsolidation models through detailed investigation and benchmarking to calibration and identify their applicable ranges.
4) Proposing a project to address deficits in
The document summarizes an assessment of existing experimental data and constitutive models for predicting the behavior of crushed salt backfill during reconsolidation in a salt repository. It finds that while several thermo-mechanical models have been developed, the experimental database is incomplete, particularly for the low porosity range under relevant conditions. It recommends future work to complete the database through improved experiments and to calibrate and benchmark models against experimental results to enable reliable predictions of long-term behavior and hydraulic properties.
The Repoperm project studied the mechanical and hydraulic behavior of compacting crushed salt backfill at low porosities. It found that:
1) Measurement of properties like permeability and constitutive relationships for two-phase flow are possible down to gas permeabilities of 10-15 m2.
2) Presently used models have limits and material parameters depend on the specific test, so predictive capability needs improving.
3) Further research is needed to fully characterize hydro-mechanical behavior, understand permeability under unsaturated conditions, and reconcile results from different test types.
The document summarizes radiological consequence analyses for a hypothetical high-level waste repository in bedded salt formations in Germany. It describes work packages analyzing the safety concept and developing a safety demonstration concept. Test cases are analyzed to verify applicability of radiological indicators and models. The base case scenario and sensitivity cases with reduced diffusion and convergence are modeled. Results show the repository system can provide long-term containment and negligible radiological impacts due to the geological barrier and engineered barriers like shaft and drift seals and compacted salt backfill. Sensitivity studies aid understanding key parameters and processes.
This document summarizes work from the KOSINA project, which is developing concepts for a generic salt repository in Germany for heat-generating nuclear waste. It discusses two work packages (WP2 and WP4) focused on developing generic geological models and analyzing the geomechanical integrity of potential repository designs. For WP2, generic 3D models were developed for two site types - flat-bedded salt and salt pillows. Material parameters for the salt and surrounding rock were also compiled. WP4 involves thermo-mechanical modeling to demonstrate integrity for designs using each site type, including drift emplacement and horizontal borehole disposal concepts. Preliminary modeling results for a flat-bedded and pillow site are presented.
This document contains a graph showing the change in total axial strain over time for different materials under various levels of stress ranging from 0.2 to 3 MPa. The graph also includes lines for the calculated strain rates, which range from 1.5x10^-11 to 4.13x10^-12 per second. The data was collected by RESPEC over a period of up to 160 days.
1. Very slow creep tests were conducted on salt rock samples in stable underground environments to obtain strain rates in the range of 10-13/s. This provides data in the very low stress range of 0-5 MPa that is representative of conditions near deep salt caverns, filling gaps in existing data.
2. The tests found transient creep phases lasting 6-10 months and steady-state creep rates 5-6 orders of magnitude faster than extrapolated from standard higher-stress tests. Results were consistent with models assuming pressure-solution creep at low stresses.
3. One sample showed apparent "swelling" after oil was found within it, possibly due to water vapor entry leading to strain in an

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.

- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Chris Bolin, Senior Intelligent Automation Architect Anika Systems
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
