GAO: Grouting Hanford tank waste could cost more than $1.1B

Grouting Hanford’s low-level radioactive liquid tank waste could cost between $480 million and $1.1 billion, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office, which has repeatedly found that grouting (immobilizing waste in a concrete-like mixture) can accelerate cleanup at the Hanford Site and save billions of dollars when compared to mixing the waste with molten glass through the vitrification process.

The Current Issues in Computational Methods Roundtable will present five researchers who will give talks on several aspects of modern code development. Their talks will center on upcoming developments and challenges in code development. Points of emphasis will be the opportunities and demands of new machine architectures, applications of AI to scientific codes, and the pros and cons of University/National Lab collaborations. The talk titles are: Katie Lewis, LLNL: "Addressing the Paradigm Shift: Machine Learning in Scientific Simulations" Todd Palmer, Oregon State: "The Daunting Task of Initiating a Multi-University, Multi-Disciplinary High Performance Computing Research Project In the Age of COVID-19" Rob Lowrie, LANL: "Current Issues for Multiphysics Codes" Ann Gentile: "AI/ML for HPC Operations" Teresa Bailey: "A Few Random Thoughts About Predictive Science"
