The excitation function for /sup 48/V from tritons on natural titanium

Description: Natural titanium is used as a diagnostic charged particle detector in nuclear device tests making use of the proton and deuteron reactions, which produce vanadium 48 as a product. The presence of tritons in the reaction environment can also produce vanadium 48 from triton reactions on titanium 3, titanium 47 and titanium 48. Triton reaction cross sections for titanium have been measured so that corrections to the proton and deuteron diagnostic data can be accurately calculated. These measuremen… more

A proposed metric for assessing the potential of community annoyance from wind turbine low-frequency noise emissions

Description: Given our initial experience with the low-frequency, impulsive noise emissions from the MOD-1 wind turbine and their impact on the surrounding community, the ability to assess the potential of interior low-frequency annoyance in homes located near wind turbine installations may be important. Since there are currently no universally accepted metrics or descriptors for low-frequency community annoyance, we performed a limited program using volunteers to see if we could identify a method suitable … more

Safety evaluation for the inner canister closure station

Description: The Inner Canister Closure Station (ICCS), built by Remote Technology Corporation, will be operability tested. The ICCS is used to remotely leak test Inner Canister Closures (ICC's) and replace ICC's that are not water tight. After operability testing, the ICCS will be inspected and sent to the 717-F mock-up shop for remotability demonstration and dimensional checks, then installed in the Vitrification Building, 221-S. An analysis of potential safety hazards, equipment safety features, and proc… more
