NNSA: Floodplain Statement Of Findings Issued For Lane Installation At East Jemez Road Guard Post
NNSA News:
The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has published the floodplain statement of findings for the proposed construction of an additional vehicle inspection lane at the guard post near the East Jemez Road and N.M. 4 intersection.
The project is intended to provide expedited inspection times for vehicles transporting time sensitive loads, such as concrete and asphalt to Los Alamos National Laboratory. Project activities within the 100-year floodplain would include construction of an expedited vehicle inspection lane, relocation of a 4-strand wire fence, possible Read More
NNSA Issues Floodplain Findings For Natural Gas Line Replacement At Los Alamos National Laboratory
NNSA News:
The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is proposing new construction that crosses through upper Pajarito Canyon and upper Starmer Canyon from Technical Area (TA) 8 to TA-22 at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).
The project proposes to install a new 12-inch HDPE natural gas line to replace the existing 70+ year old 12-inch bare steel natural gas line. Replacement will prevent loss of service to several LANL technical areas and Bandelier National Monument. The project activities within the 100-year floodplains include new natural gas line installation to replace Read More
Los Alamos National Laboratory Research Demonstrates Material’s Quantum Topological Potential
New research into topological phases of matter may spur advances in innovative quantum devices. As described in Nature Communications, a research team including Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists used a novel strain engineering approach to convert the material hafnium pentatelluride to a strong topological insulator phase, increasing its bulk electrical resistance while lowering it at the surface, a key to unlocking its quantum potential.
