SUMMARY:Tracking Radiation Doses from Medical Diagnostic Procedures
DESCRIPTION:The Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board of the National Academies will host a two-hour webinar on December 14 to discuss the pros and cons of tracking radiation doses from medical diagnostic procedures and possible implications. \nThe use of medical diagnostic procedures has benefited the care of most patients. However\, it is accompanied by growing concerns about the risks associated with diagnostic computed tomography (CT)\, fluoroscopy\, and nuclear medicine imaging exams that utilize ionizing radiation. A number of initiatives in radiation safety in medicine aim to provide higher quality clinical management of patients and to ensure that reasonable steps are taken to keep the exposures as low as possible without compromising diagnostic efficacy. The idea of tracking radiation exposures from medical diagnostic procedures as a means of individual dose monitoring and risk assessment to patients has been debated over the years and more recently national and international organizations have issued statements with opposing views. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nArmin Ansari is the Radiological Assessment Team Lead at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

SUMMARY:Safe Transportation of Liquefied Natural Gas by Railroad Tank Car – Session 6
DESCRIPTION:The committee on Safe Transportation of Liquefied Natural Gas by Railroad Tank Car\, part of the Transportation Research Board\, will meet on 6 December 2021 in a closed session. This is the 6th Session of Phase II review. \nBackground: \nAn ad hoc committee appointed by the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine will review\, per request of Congress\, current U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) plans and activities to inform government and industry decisions about the transportation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by rail and consider ways to ensure the continued safety of these shipments over the longer-term. The committee’s review will be carried out in two phases\, each producing a report with findings and recommendations as appropriate. \nPhase 2\nThe committee will engage in information-gathering and analysis to conduct an in-depth study of topics relevant to ensuring the safe movement of LNG by rail if allowed by special permit or regulatory authorization. \nAt a minimum\, the committee will examine: \n\nThe experience transporting LNG in bulk shipments by other modes\, including by water and truck\, to identify basic principles applied for safety assurance that can inform measures taken by government and industry to ensure the safe movement of LNG by rail\nWhat is known about the effectiveness of special regulatory and industry measures intended to assure the safe transportation of other relevant bulk rail shipments of hazardous materials\, especially any routing\, speed\, and other operational controls applied to high-hazard flammable trains and accompanying enhanced track inspection regimes\nThe applicability to bulk rail transportation of LNG of current emergency response plans\, protocols\, and guides for responding to LNG transportation incidents\, such as in PHMSA’s Emergency Response Guidebook\n\nIn carrying out its review of these topics\, the committee may determine that there are other topics directly relevant to the safe transportation of LNG by rail that warrant examination\, and it may elect to do so. Based on findings from the study\, the committee will issue a second report containing recommendations as appropriate to Congress\, PHMSA\, FRA\, industry\, emergency responders\, and other relevant parties on actions\, both nearer- and longer-term\, that are warranted to improve understanding of the risks associated with transporting LNG by rail\, mitigate risks\, and prevent and prepare for potential incidents. \nPlease visit NASEM’s Safe Transportation of Liquefied Natural Gas by Railroad Tank Car page for more information and resources.

SUMMARY:National Science\, Technology\, and Security Roundtable Meeting 4
DESCRIPTION:This is the fourth meeting of the National Science\, Technology\, and Security Roundtable. The Roundtable is a neutral venue where individuals from the national intelligence and law enforcement communities can meet with representatives from industry and the academic research community to discuss current threats\, benefits\, and potential risks. Members and speakers will continue their discussion from the last three meetings (Nov. 30\, 2020\, March 11\, 2021\, July 7-8\, 2021)\, hear from additional experts\, and chart the Roundtable’s future path. \nThe open exchange of scientific and technical information has long been a fundamental tenet of science and an important feature of academic and federally-funded research in the United States. Recent reports of foreign governments acquiring information and materials from foreign students and faculty studying and working in U.S. institutions and from U.S. faculty engaged in collaborative research activities abroad are raising concerns that the open exchange of U.S. scientific and technical know-how may be presenting new national and economic security risks in an increasingly global and competitive environment. \nNASEM established a National Science\, Technology\, and Security Roundtable to provide a neutral venue where individuals from the national intelligence and law enforcement communities can meet with representatives from industry and the academic research community to discuss current threats\, benefits\, and potential risks. The Roundtable will: \n1) explore critical issues related to protecting U.S. national and economic security \n2) identify and consider security threats and risks associated with federally funded research and development \n3) identify effective approaches to communicating threats and risks \n4) share best practices for addressing and mitigating the threats and risks \n5) examine potential near- and long-terms responses by stakeholders in the research enterprise to mitigate and address the risks associated with foreign threats. \nProceedings of the Roundtable discussions will be produced as will an overarching summary at the end of four years. \nPlease visit NASEM’s National Science\, Technology\, and Security Roundtable webpage for more information.

SUMMARY:Safe Transportation of Liquefied Natural Gas by Railroad Tank Car - Session 5
DESCRIPTION:The committee on Safe Transportation of Liquefied Natural Gas by Railroad Tank Car\, part of the Transportation Research Board\, will meet on 27 October 2021 in a closed session. This is the 5th Session of Phase II review. \nBackground: \nAn ad hoc committee appointed by the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine will review\, per request of Congress\, current U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) plans and activities to inform government and industry decisions about the transportation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by rail and consider ways to ensure the continued safety of these shipments over the longer-term. The committee’s review will be carried out in two phases\, each producing a report with findings and recommendations as appropriate. \nPhase 1\nThe committee will review ongoing and planned USDOT efforts\, as documented and reported by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration (PHMSA) and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)\, that are intended to inform pending decisions about whether and how bulk shipments of LNG can be safely transported by railroad tank car. The review will focus specifically on the plans and progress of the PHMSA-FRA LNG Task Force\, which has developed and begun executing a multi-task program of research\, data gathering\, analysis\, testing\, modeling\, and risk assessment. Based on the expert judgment of its members\, and drawing largely on the Task Force’s reports of results\, ongoing and planned tasks\, and other relevant information\, the committee will produce a report with findings on specific tasks and the program overall with regard to quality\, completeness\, and relevance to the agencies’ near-term decision making needs. The committee may make recommendations in this first report that can be acted upon quickly to strengthen the program. \nPhase 2\nThe committee will engage in information-gathering and analysis to conduct an in-depth study of topics relevant to ensuring the safe movement of LNG by rail if allowed by special permit or regulatory authorization. At a minimum\, the committee will examine: \nThe experience transporting LNG in bulk shipments by other modes\, including by water and truck\, to identify basic principles applied for safety assurance that can inform measures taken by government and industry to ensure the safe movement of LNG by rail; \nWhat is known about the effectiveness of special regulatory and industry measures intended to assure the safe transportation of other relevant bulk rail shipments of hazardous materials\, especially any routing\, speed\, and other operational controls applied to high-hazard flammable trains and accompanying enhanced track inspection regimes; \nThe applicability to bulk rail transportation of LNG of current emergency response plans\, protocols\, and guides for responding to LNG transportation incidents\, such as in PHMSA’s Emergency Response Guidebook. \nIn carrying out its review of these topics\, the committee may determine that there are other topics directly relevant to the safe transportation of LNG by rail that warrant examination\, and it may elect to do so. Based on findings from the study\, the committee will issue a second report containing recommendations as appropriate to Congress\, PHMSA\, FRA\, industry\, emergency responders\, and other relevant parties on actions\, both nearer- and longer-term\, that are warranted to improve understanding of the risks associated with transporting LNG by rail\, mitigate risks\, and prevent and prepare for potential incidents. \nPlease visit NASEM’s Safe Transportation of Liquefied Natural Gas by Railroad Tank Car page for more information and resources.

SUMMARY:Review of the Continued Analysis of Supplemental Treatment of Low-Activity Waste at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation
DESCRIPTION:The National Academies’ third meeting of the committee conducting the Review of the Continued Analysis of Supplemental Treatment of Low-Activity Waste at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation will convene in 20-21 Oct 2021 and in closed session on 22 Oct. \nSection 3125 of the FY2021 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) calls for a national labs team to develop a framework of decisions to be made among the supplemental treatment technologies\, waste forms\, and disposal locations for low-activity waste in the Hanford tanks. In addition\, Section 3125 requests additional analysis for the grout treatment approach as identified in the previous report for Section 3134 of the FY 2017 NDAA. \nAs in the previous study\, the Academies will convene a committee of experts to provide a concurrent review of the national labs team’s continuing draft and final analytic frameworks. \nDescription\nAn ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine will review the analysis carried out by the Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) selected by the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management on approaches for supplemental treatment of low-activity waste at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. The review will evaluate the technical quality and completeness of the following: \nDoes the FFRDC’s report clearly lay out a framework of decisions to be made among the treatment technologies\, waste forms\, and disposal locations?\nDoes the FFRDC’s report consider in its analysis all the elements\, criteria\, and factors specified in Section 3125 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2021?\nDoes the FFRDC’s report provide additional analysis for the grout treatment approach as identified in the FFRDC report for Section 3134 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2017? \nThe review will be carried out concurrently with the FFRDC’s analysis with opportunities for input from the Washington State Department of Ecology\, other principal Hanford stakeholders\, and members of the public. The study will produce three consensus reports containing findings and recommendations. \nPlease visit NASEM’s Review of the Continued Analysis of Supplemental Treatment of Low-Activity Waste at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation page for more information. \n  \n

DESCRIPTION:Competitive dynamics between the United States and the Russian Federation\, and the United States and China\, colours interpretations of each other’s national security strategies and nuclear doctrines. The intent that each projects onto the other (for instance\, around lowered thresholds of nuclear use\, or the pursuit of escalation dominance) then filters into their readings of specific capabilities. Consequently\, the “friction points” between them – the issues of contention that can spark potential conflict and escalation\, including to nuclear use – are unfortunately numerous. \nThis side event to the UN First Committee will contribute to informed discussion on nuclear weapon risk reduction\, considering ways that the ‘great powers’ can bridge strategic perception gaps (including through the ongoing Russia-US bilateral strategic stability dialogue).  Panelists will also discuss technological developments – including in other domains – that are increasing the risks of nuclear weapon use\, as well as means to address these. \nUNIDIR encourages the participation of representatives and experts interested in nuclear risk reduction\, strategic stability\, and related topics. \nDISCUSSION\nAnna Péczeli\, Center for Global Security Research \nPolina Sinovets\, Odessa Center for Nonproliferation \nWilfred Wan\, UNIDIR (moderator)

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.
