Cryptosystems based on chaotic dynamics

An encryption scheme based on chaotic dynamics is presented. This scheme makes use of the efficient and reproducible generation of cryptographically secure pseudo random numbers from chaotic maps. The result is a system which encrypts quickly and possesses a large keyspace, even in small precision implementations. This system offers an excellent solution to several problems including the dissemination of key material, over the air rekeying, and other situations requiring the secure management o… more

Generic component failure data base

This report discusses comprehensive component generic failure data base which has been developed for light water reactor probabilistic risk assessments. The Nuclear Computerized Library for Assessing Reactor Reliability (NUCLARR) was used to generate component failure rates. Using this approach, most of the failure rates are based on actual plant data rather then existing estimates.

Data banks for risk assessment at the Savannah River Site

One of the lessons learned from many years of risk assessment experience is that mistakes of the past are soon forgotten if no method is available to retrieve and review these events. Savannah River Site has maintained a computerized data bank system for recording, retrieving and reviewing its incident history. The system is based on a series of compilations developed primarily for risk assessment but has been found to be invaluable for many other uses such as equipment reliability, project jus… more

TR-EDB: Test Reactor Embrittlement Data Base, Version 1

The Test Reactor Embrittlement Data Base (TR-EDB) is a collection of results from irradiation in materials test reactors. It complements the Power Reactor Embrittlement Data Base (PR-EDB), whose data are restricted to the results from the analysis of surveillance capsules in commercial power reactors. The rationale behind their restriction was the assumption that the results of test reactor experiments may not be applicable to power reactors and could, therefore, be challenged if such data were… more

Use a Preliminary Requirements Identification Document (PRID) data base to identify facility documents and components and to establish an operating envelope

A challenge that arises consistently throughout the US Department of Energy (DOE) arena is difficulty in identifying the regulatory requirements for the unique operations of a given facility in a cost-effective and consistent manner. This challenge is further compounded by the hundreds of regulatory documents/statutes that must be assessed, as mandated by specific DOE Orders or facility components. As the missions of selected DOE facilities evolve or change, it is becoming of paramount importan… more
