The microbiological community structure within a proposed nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain (YM), NV was determined. Microbial growth from collected rock was detected using simulated ground water as a growth medium, with or without amendment of a carbon source. Grown isolates were identified by 16s ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequence analysis. A more complete compositional analysis of the microbial community located at the proposed nuclear waste repository site was performed using environmental DNA isolation and subsequent identification of amplified 16s rDNA genes. Concurrently, a series of corrosion testing tanks that simulate the evolution of anticipated environmental conditions within the proposed repository have been subjected to the same type of analyses.

The population cross section of the T{sub 1/2} = 25-minute, E{sub x} = 76.8-keV isomer in {sup 235}U via the {sup 235}U(n,n{prime}{gamma}) reaction has been estimated in the E{sub n} = 2.1-20-MeV range. Gamma rays populating both isomer and ground states were detected using the GEANIE spectrometer at the LANSCE/WNR ''white-source'' neutron facility. Partial {gamma}-ray cross sections were obtained as a function of incident neutron energy, using {gamma}-ray spectroscopy and the time-of-flight technique. A correction for unobserved transitions was applied to the measured partial cross sections using the Hauser-Feshbach code GNASH to produce population cross sections for the isomer- and ground-state levels. The deduced isomer population cross section at E{sub n} = 2.1 MeV is 1.1(1) b, and the isomer-to-ground state population ratio decreases from 0.9 to 0.06 over the E{sub n} = 2.1-20-MeV range. The details of the measurement and recommendations to improve the current results are discussed.

This paper is concerned with the promotion and advancement of regional security in the Middle East and Central Asia through the development of bilateral and multilateral cooperation on targeted scientific and technical projects. It is widely recognized that increasing tensions and instability in many parts of the world emphasize--or reemphasize--a need to seek and promote regional security in these areas. At the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), a national security research facility operated for the US Department of Energy, we are pursuing an effort to use science and technology as a ''low risk'' means of engagement in regions of strategic importance to the United States. In particular, we are developing collaborations and cooperative projects among (and between) national laboratory scientists in the US and our various counterparts in the countries of interest.

We present results of experimental studies on transient gain soft x-ray lasers with a picosecond-laser-irradiated gas puff target. The target in a form of an elongated gas sheet is formed by pulsed injection of gas through a slit nozzle using a high-pressure electromagnetic valve developed and characterized at the Institute of Optoelectronics. The x-ray laser experiments were performed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory using the tabletop Compact Multipulse Terawatt (COMET) laser to irradiate argon, krypton or xenon gas puff targets. Soft x-ray lasing in neon-like argon on the 3p-3s transition at 46.9 nm and the 3d-3p transition at 45.1 nm have been demonstrated, however, no amplification for nickel-like krypton or xenon was observed. Results of the experiments are presented and discussed.
