SUMMARY:Assessment of High Energy Density (HED) Physics
DESCRIPTION:High energy density (HED) physics has critical applications in areas such as inertial confinement fusion and the stewardship of the nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile. \nThe Committee on the Assessment of High Energy Density (HED) Science is hosting panels to collect input during an open-session\, along with closed-sessions to deliberate on process\, input gathering\, and writing. \nCongress has requested that the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine conduct an assessment of HED physics research in the United States. The assessment will identify key challenges and science questions and propose ways to address them in the coming decade. It will include a particular focus on HED material phases and conditions of interest to the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)\, which is the sponsor of this assessment. \nBACKGROUND \n\nDescription\n\n\n\nThe Academies shall establish a committee that will articulate the recent advances\, status\, and future directions of high energy density (HED) physics in the United States.  The committee will consider HED physics as the physics of matter and radiation at energy densities exceeding 1 x 10^11 J/m3 or other temperature and pressure ranges within the warm dense matter regime.  It will include a particular focus on HED material phases\, plasmas atypical of astrophysical conditions\, and conditions of interest to the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). The committee will then develop a report that will: \n• Assess the progress and achievements in HED physics over the last decade\, including theory\, computation\, modeling and simulation\, driver development\, instrument development\, emerging technologies\, analytical methods\, and target fabrication. \n• Identify major scientific gaps and potential new directions in areas of modeling\, simulation\, instrumentation\, and target fabrication that offer the most promising near- and mid-term investment opportunities. \n• Identify challenges that the field may face over the next decade in realizing those opportunities and offer guidance for addressing them\, including\, but not limited to\, investment level\, interagency collaboration\, research tools\, and infrastructure. \n• Evaluate the role of HED physics in developing an expert workforce for NNSA and assess whether changes in resources\, scientific focus\, access to experimental facilities\, or funding levels are necessary to meet nuclear security workforce needs in the coming decade. \n• Assess the state and recent advances made by other countries in HED physics and discuss the relative standing of the United States. \n\n\nPlease visit NASEM’s Assessment of High Energy Density (HED) Physics meeting page for more information.

SUMMARY:U.S. Coast Guard Oversight of Recognized Organizations
DESCRIPTION:A study committee appointed by the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine will conduct an assessment of the effectiveness of the U.S. Coast Guard’s oversight of recognized organizations (ROs) and its impact on compliance and on the safety of vessels inspected by such organizations. \nThis is a closed session involving the committee members and Transportation Research Board staff only. \nBACKGROUND \nThe committee will assess the Coast Guard’s actions to oversee\, guide\, monitor\, assess\, and otherwise strengthen the performance of ROs in carrying out their delegated statutory certifications and other services. Consideration will be given to changes that have been made\, or that are planned\, in areas such as institutional and organizational structures; roles and responsibilities\, policies and procedures; guidance and compliance documents; data and analytic systems; training; communications; and performance reporting. \nThe committee will also compare the main features of the Coast Guard’s oversight program with those of the oversight programs of other regulatory agencies that delegate regulatory or statutory authority to third parties from both the transportation and non-transportation domains. To the extent that sufficient data are available\, the committee will benchmark the Coast Guard’s program with other programs. \nInformed by this review and comparison\, the committee will consider the effectiveness of the Coast Guard’s RO oversight program and identify needs and potential opportunities to strengthen it. In identifying these needs and opportunities\, the committee will\, as a minimum\, consider: \n• The Coast Guard’s marine inspection workforce’s size\, training\, competency levels\, and qualifications for conducting RO oversight;\n• The degree of data analysis and sharing among the Coast Guard and ROs\, including the integration of RO data into Coast Guard decisionmaking processes concerning the RO and/or the vessels the RO performs work on behalf of the Coast Guard;\n• The functionality\, usability\, and utility of the Coast Guard vessel inspection database [Marine Information System for Safety and Law Enforcement (MISLE)]; and\n• The prospects for introducing a more automated risk-based program for the RO oversight program and associated vessels. \nBased on the findings from its review\, the committee will make recommendations\, as appropriate\, on any additional steps the Coast Guard should consider to ensure the effective oversight and performance of ROs in carrying out their delegated statutory certifications and services and to further compliance by vessel owners and operators.
