NSUF Mission Expansion
NSUF Management of NE R&D InfrastructureBuild upon the user facility mission of providing no-cost access to specialized facilities by:
1. Developing and maintaining a database of Nuclear Energy research infrastructure (NEID) at:
• National Laboratories• Universities• Industrial R&D facilities
2. Coordination of the NE-4 infrastructure awards• University reactor upgrades• University general scientific infrastructure• NE Enabling Technologies Crosscutting Technology Development • NSUF access awards

NEID Utilization Methodology
NEID
Capabilities Data
NE R&D Direction
Gap Analyses
New Acquisitions
and Partners
1. Gather Data on NE R&D Capabilities
2. Estimate Near, Mid and Long-term R&D Directions
3. Use these to perform gap analyses for Nuclear Energy R&D.
4. Assist funding decisions and incorporate the results into the NEID.

Database Functionality
1. Search (query) by:· Keyword or Capability · Facility type· Instrument type· Geography/Institution· Group of terms
2. Generate custom reports based on these queries.
The NE Infrastructure DB has/will have the ability to:
3. Feed directly into a visualization system for custom maps• Future implementation of GIS technology• Graph network system with inputs, outputs and dependencies
13
Querying the NEID
Developing the query and reporting functionality in the NEID Ad hoc queries with report in spreadsheet format. Pre-made queries and reports (we still need cases for these)

2. Cultivate Information Resources– User’s Organization Infrastructure
Subcommittee– Facility surveys & site visits– Other databases
3. Maintain and Improve the Database • Both versions of electronic databases• Use feedback from users and staff to improve the interface and content
16
Remaining Work to be Accomplished
1. Add detailed information to the NEID for facilities and instruments· Email/Phone POC for data
– Allow access to NEID for updating– Send a spreadsheet with facility information and enter manually.
2. Validate the existing information in the NEID· Verify correct POC contact information· Error-checking data using a variety of methods
3. Deployment of the “public” version of the NEID.
4. Continuous improvement, adaptation and expansion of the NEID· Improvement through user feedback· Adaptation to new technologies and requirements· Expansion into other areas of research
17
Database Review Panel
Comprised of five members representing:· University research (Peter Hosemann – Berkeley)· University reactors (Lin-wen Hu - MIT)· Nuclear Industry (Peng Xu – WEC)· National Laboratories (Dave Senor – PNNL)· DOE Programs (Jason Tokey – NE-31)
1. Determine Database Sufficiency· Appropriate and complete · Additional sources of information
2. Validate Database · Common terminology in entries· Error checking of data entries
3. Investigate Infrastructure Needs Drivers (gap analysis)· R&D infrastructure requirements· Missing or over-utilized capabilities
18
Gap Analysis Structure
1. This analysis will look at facilities and capital equipment· Mission-mapped facilities from policy documents.· Geographical distribution and availability of access.· Age and availability (utilization and reliability).
2. What areas of NE R&D have researchers expressed interest in pursuing?· What areas are currently being pursued? (NEUP applications)· What areas are incipient? (work-scope survey)· What R&D capabilities are/will be required to supply to the researchers?
(NEID and capabilities)3. Support for the NE-4 Infrastructure FOA writing and reviewing process
· Partial support (FY15)· Stronger support (FY16)· Full support (FY17+)

INL Property Management
INL Property Management uses “Sunflower” software suite to track assets.
Sunflower is used complex-wide· Similar implementations has us “speaking the same language”· NEID can be made to easily incorporate reports from Sunflower as inputs.
Many fields are available, such as:· Date of purchase· Initial asset cost (not including installation)· Manufacturer, model and serial number· Location (building)· Point of Contact (steward)· Federal Supply Code (66 = lab equipment)
Information that is not available in Sunflower:· Operability, trained staff, utilization· Expected lifetime, future plans

Other INL Databases
NS&T Availability Database· Primarily Materials and Fuels Complex (MFC) facilities data· “critical” equipment for supporting research· Includes R&D equipment:
– Searchable by facility– Current operability
• Including impacts on research projects• Date when equipment was surveyed for operability• Cause of equipment outage
· Warranty & Service contract expiration dates Asset Suite Database
· The INL business enterprise system for Work Management and Supply Chain Management activities
– purchasing, contracts, labor entry and reporting, – inventory, work management, and accounts payable
INL Portfolio Integration & Prioritization Tool (iPIP) (inactive since 2012)· Capabilities, operators, resources, needed investments · Customers, funded projects, programs, ROI
51
Gap Analysis Plan
1. Capability analysis, based on:
· Nuclear Energy Infrastructure Database – NEID currently has ~375 facilities and ~800 instruments– Mostly focused on materials and fuels with some thermal hydraulics
· A study of recent NEUP infrastructure applications
· R&D capabilities survey – 15MM$ capital cost + 1MM$ annual maintenance.– Sent out by NE-4 as part of an RFI (due 6/19/2015).– May follow up with a wider survey to the NEUP distribution list, NSUF User’s
Organization and others.• Web-site poll, easy for users to complete and easy to compile data
52
Gap Analysis Plan
2. R&D Directions analysis, drawn from a variety of sources such as:
· R&D work-scope survey– Sent out by NE-4 as part of an RFI (due 6/19/2015).
· A study of recent NEUP R&D applications
· Programmatic input– Current direction from DOE-NE (including 2015 NE Roadmap)– Past NE documents
• NE R&D Roadmap (2010), Facilities for the Future of NE R&D (2009), Required Assets for an Applied R&D Program (2009), etc. (2008-2014)
Seeking additional input from:• Department of Energy Programs
• Nuclear Energy Advisory Committee
• NSUF Scientific Review Board
• NSUF User’s Organization
• NSUF Industry Advisory Committee

Example Analysis infrastructure-based
Step 1: (Broad Question) What materials-irradiation resources are potentially available to US researchers?
Step 2: (Data Review): access database, run a query & generate a report
52 Total US Reactors devoted to researchTest Reactors 1 (ATR)Beam-line reactors (with in-core capability) 2 (HFIR and NBSR)Research Reactors
University Research and Training Reactors 23Private Research Reactors 2 (GE and Dow)
Federal Government Research Reactors 3 (USGS, NRAD and AFRRI)State Government Research Reactors 1 (RINSC)
Transient Testing Facilities Fast Burst Reactors 2 (White Sands & Godiva)
Thermal Pulsing Reactors 1+1 (ACRR & TREAT)Fusion Neutron Sources 6 (Associated with DOE-SC)Critical Facilities 6 (5 federal & 1 university)US Navy Prototype & Training Reactors 2+2 (NY & SC)

Example Analysis
Step 3: (Narrow Question) What about the neutron energy spectra?
Step 4: (Data Review): fine-detail query of data from step 2
AP-1000 BN-600
Step 5: (Conclusion): Currently, there is no US-based, large-scale fast neutron capability comparable to ATR, HFIR, NBSR or MURR.
Step 6: (Recommend): Consider investing in fast flux facility or partnering with an international facility.
