9 18 20 9 INL has expanded efforts to release open source software (OSS), which is freely available to the public and open to collaboration directly with researchers and engineers outside of the laboratory. Fostering widespread distribution of this software can accelerate adoption within industry and fuel innovation in other research organizations. INL’s Technology Deployment group is defining and refining an overarching strategy around open source and commercial releases to capitalize on the strengths of each. INL’s open source software can be acquired cost-free at https://github.com/idaholab. BlackBear BlackBear is a MOOSE-based code for modeling the behavior of structural materials subjected to the conditions that a civil structure (building, bridge, dam, etc.) could experience over its lifetime, including thermal and mechanical loading and degradation due to aging effects. The materials modeled by BlackBear include those typically used in the construction of civil structures, such as concrete and steel. BlackBear also models the response of these structures to a variety of loading conditions that these structures are expected to safely withstand. These include a variety of normal thermal and mechanical service loading conditions, as well as wind and earthquake loading conditions. Benjamin Spencer, Hai Huang, Guowei Cai MAGPIE Mesoscale Atomistic Glue Program for Integrated Execution (MAGPIE) is an application to link various atomistic codes to applications based on the MOOSE Finite Element Framework. MAGPIE provides coupling modules for SPPARKS, a kinetic Monte Carlo code by Sandia National Laboratories, and MyTRIM, a binary collision Monte Carlo code for ion transport in materials. Support is planned for LAMMPS, the molecular dynamics code by Sandia National Laboratories.

Slaughter, Pedram Ghassemi Automatic Energy Calibration of Gamma-ray Spectrometers Gamma-ray spectrometers will be a critical tool in on-site inspections conducted under the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). The automatic energy calibration algorithm in the OSIRIS spectrometer can be divided into four steps: automatic gain adjustment, calibration source measurement, peak centroid determination, and correlation of peak centroids to peak energies. Augustine J. Caffrey, Ann E. Egger, Kenneth M. Krebs, David J. Caffrey DREEM: A System Dynamics Model for Assessing Dynamic Rare Earth Production, Demand and U.S. Wind Energy Demand Some wind energy technologies, such as direct-drive wind turbines, rely on a volatile and non-U.S.-based rare earth element (REE) supply chain. Global efforts to develop new sources of REEs have been limited in success, and the lack of rare earth availability has been mentioned as an impediment to the development of direct-drive turbines. As it is unclear if a new U.S. REE supply could adequately support onshore and offshore direct-drive wind energy growth, this model estimates U.S. and Chinese REE availability that could support U.S. direct-drive and other REE demand.

IGCAP is meant to be a “first order” planning tool, i.e., a tool that can accommodate estimates and best available data alongside default settings, which the user can then improve over time. Jeffrey M. Young, Kurt W. Derr, Joseph D. Frazier Open Source Software Release Highlights An autonomic energy calibration algorithm supports gamma-ray spectrometers like OSIRIS. BlackBear and MAGPIE support INL’s MOOSE framework.
