SUMMARY:Agnostic Compact Demilitarization of Chemical Agents (ACDC)
DESCRIPTION:The Homeland Defense & Security Information Analysis Center (HDIAC) will host a webinar presentation on ‘Agnostic Compact Demilitarization of Chemical Agents (ACDC)‘ on 1 October 2020. \nThe safe destruction of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and organic precursors is a timely\, costly\, and significant challenge for the international community. Today\, for example\, there are no approaches that exploit chemistries that are truly agnostic in terms of the agents that can be processed. Additionally\, current approaches require transport of agents from the storage site to a neutralization site\, which can add significant cost and time to the destruction process. \nDARPA’s ACDC program explored new technologies for neutralization of bulk stores of CWAs and organic precursors at or near the site of storage. ACDC developed and demonstrated the technologies needed to construct a transportable\, prototype system that converts organic compounds into constitutive carbon/nitrogen/phosphorous/sulfur oxides and stable alkali or alkaline earth metal salts. The ACDC system featured chemistries for agent destruction and sequestration of halogens and other components using locally available or easily transportable resources. This webinar describes the DARPA ACDC program and its exploration of neutralization of bulk stores of CWAs and organic precursors at or near the site of storage. \nPlease register in advance for the webinar at: https://www.anymeeting.com/PIID=EF54DD81854C3B \nAlternative Live Streams: \n https://r.hdiac.org/facebook\n https://r.hdiac.org/youtube

SUMMARY:Radioactive Sources: Applications and Alternative Technologies
DESCRIPTION:The Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board of the National Academies invites you to join a virtual committee meeting on October 13\, 2020 for its ongoing study on Radioactive Sources: Applications and Alternative Technologies. \nThe meeting will feature presentations by Nordion\, Sotera Health\, and QSA Global\, Inc.\, companies that produce radioactive sources and alternative technologies. \nThe purpose of this Sandia National Laboratories’ sponsored study is to support existing and future activities under the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Office of Radiological Security (ORS) program to reduce the use of high-risk radiological materials in commercial applications. The study will update the 2008 National Academies consensus study on “Radiation Source: Use and Replacement” by reviewing the current state of high-risk radionuclide applications by sector (e.g.\, industrial\, research\, medical\, and other commercial applications) and by reviewing the current state of existing technologies on the market that are or could be used to replace radioisotopic technologies in those applications. \nThe assessment will examine domestic and international developments in radioactive source applications and feasible alternative technologies. In addition\, the assessment will use criteria to assess the overall technical feasibility and maturity of those technologies\, including the Department of Energy Technology Readiness Level (TRL). Moreover\, the assessment of alternative technologies will evaluate their attractiveness and practicality to organizations in consideration of adopting or transitioning to them. \nLearn more on the study webpage.

SUMMARY:Workshop on Federal Human Health PFAS Research
DESCRIPTION:The National Academies will host a 2-day virtual workshop 26-27 October 2020 to address the state of the science and ongoing federal research regarding human exposure to Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)\, experimental toxicology studies to identify human risks from PFAS\, and human health outcomes from PFAS exposures. \nPFAS are diverse fluorinated organic compounds used to make products that resist heat\, stains\, oil\, and water. They are used in firefighting foams; a wide variety of consumer products\, such as packaging\, carpeting\, and cookware; and in industries such as aerospace\, automotive\, and electronics. Their manufacture and use have led to widespread distribution and occurrence in the environment. PFAS can be highly mobile and persistent in the environment\, and depending on chemical structure\, PFAS can accumulate at different levels in human\, animal\, and plant tissue. \nThe National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine will be conducting a workshop to review federal government human health research on PFAS and to identify research and data gaps. \nThis event is free to attend via webcast.
