FY 2008 BES Budget – House MarkFY 2008 BES Budget – House Mark

The Committee recommendation for basic energy sciences is $1,498,497,000, the same as the budget request and an increase of $248,247,000 over the current fiscal year. For purposes of reprogramming during fiscal year 2008, the Department may allocate funding among all operating accounts within Basic Energy Sciences, consistent with the reprogramming guidelines outlined earlier in this report.

Research.—The Committee recommendation includes $1,093,219,000 for materials sciences and engineering, and $283,956,000 for chemical sciences, geosciences, and energy biosciences. The Committee recommendation funds operations of the five Nanoscale Science Research Centers, operations of the Advanced Light Source, the Advanced Photon Source, the National Synchrotron Light Source, the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory, the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source, and the Manuel Lujan, Jr. Neutron Scattering Center at their full optimal numbers of hours, additional instrumentation for the recently-completed Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), and the science research portion ($59,500,000) of the hydrogen initiative at the requested levels. Given the long-term nature of hydrogen as an energy transfer medium, with timescales for deployment similar to those for fusion energy, funding for hydrogen research in the Office of Science is particularly appropriate. The Committee previously directed the National Nuclear Security Administration to make available, from existing stocks, sufficient heavy water to meet SNS needs, and the Committee renews this direction for fiscal year 2008. Also included within this account is $8,240,000 for the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), the same as the budget request. Given the dismal operating record of the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) in fiscal year 2006 with 89.5% unscheduled downtime and the lack of major research accomplishments from its operation, the Committee will be watching to see that the steps taken by DOE to put HFIR back on track are successful.

Construction.—The Committee recommendation includes $121,322,000 for Basic Energy Sciences construction projects, the same as the requested amount. The Committee recommendation provides the requested funding of: $51,356,000 to continue construction of the Linac Coherent Light Source (05–R–320) at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center; $366,000 to complete construction of the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (05–R–321) at Brookhaven National Laboratory; $45,000,000 for continued project engineering and design of the National Synchrotron Light Source II (07–SC–06) at Brookhaven National Laboratory; $17,200,000 for construction of the Advanced Light Source User Support Building (08–SC–01) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; $950,000 for PED of the Photon Ultrafast Laser Science (08–SC–10) and Engineering Building Renovation at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center; and $6,450,000 to begin renovation of the Photon Ultrafast Laser Science and Engineering Building Renovation (08–SC–11) at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Given the extremely poor record of the Department in correctly estimating and controlling costs for major projects, particularly construction, the Committee compliments the Office of Science for completing the Spallation Neutron Source almost on schedule and almost on budget.

The Committee recommends $1,512,257,000 for Basic Energy Sciences, an increase of $13,760,000 from the budget request. Committee recommends $1,512,257,000 for Basic Energy Sciences, an increase of $13,760,000 from the budget request. The Committee fully funds facilities within this account including the four Nanoscale Science Research Centers and provides $15,992,000 for the Manuel Lujan, Jr., Neutron Scattering Center. The Committee provides $17,000,000 for the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research [EPSCoR].

Overview of Relationships between BES Activities and the ACI & AEIOverview of Relationships between BES Activities and the ACI & AEI

Basic research for fundamental new understanding on materials or systems that may revolutionize or transform today’s energy technologies

Development of new tools, techniques, and facilities, including those for advanced modeling and computation

Basic research for fundamental new understanding, usually with the goal of addressing showstoppers on real-world applications in the energy technologies

Research with the goal of meeting technical milestones, with emphasis on the development, performance, cost reduction, and durability of materials and components or on efficient processes

Basic research to understand and deliver new theories and descriptions of matter in the energy range important to everyday life – typically energies up to those required to break chemical bonds.

Particularly challenging are to understand and to control systems that are ultrasmall or isolated, or are far from equilibrium, or display emergent phenomena of many kinds.

Charge to BESAC (From Ray Orbach to John Hemminger)Charge to BESAC (From Ray Orbach to John Hemminger)

1. Summarize the science themes that emerged from the BESAC report Basic Research Needs for a Secure Energy Future and the follow-on BES Basic Research Needs reports, and relate those science themes to the grand challenges identified by BESAC.

2. Identify the tools and facilities that will be required to accomplish the science described in these workshops. Think broadly about tools – include x-ray, neutron, and electron scattering; proximal probes and other microscopies; time resolved tools; theory and modeling; computational “end stations,” i.e., community codes; and any other tools and facilities that may be important. It is more important to specify the broad characteristics of tools and facilities than to define the details of a given tool or facility at this time.

3. Identify other impediments to the successful implementation of this program of research in Basic Energy Sciences, including human resources and workforce development.

17

Finally, BESAC should continue its triennial evaluations of the BES Divisions using Committees of Visitors. The established routine of evaluating one BES Division per year is working well, and the resulting COV reports have been extremely helpful to me and to BES.

Based on several COV recommendations, we are working on a system that will allow the collection of demographic data; however, the implementation of that recommendation is not straightforward, because it requires the establishment of databases that can store and software that can collect personally identifying information. We are working with our general counsel and our information technology colleagues on this issue.
