Acceleration of Polarized Proton in RHIC

Description: In this report is examined the possibility of polarized proton in RHIC collider. The issues needed for the future study is also discussed. With the improved source and AGS booster, its is expected that the luminosity for polarized beam could be 0.4*10^32/cm^2/sec at energy of 250 Gev in RHIC. There we need 4 snakes and 4 spin rotators in the collider.

Advanced direct coal liquefaction. Quarterly technical progress report No. 1, September-November 1983

Description: Wyoming subbituminous coal was liquefied using three different two-stage process configurations in bench-scale tests. These process configurations differed in the type of fractionated deashing resid being recycled to the individual stages. The objective of these runs was to determine whether, by recycle of specific resid streams to the thermal stage, the second stage catalyst life could be improved without detrimentally affecting distillate yield or hydrogen consumption. The results indicate th… more

ASCOT data from the 1980 field measurement program in the Anderson Creek Valley, California. [ASCOT Program]

Description: With the ASCOT program's initial focus being on the study of transport and dispersion of materials injected in or near nocturnal drainage flows, a series of exploratory field experiments of limited scope were conducted during July 1979 in the Anderson Creek valley of The Geysers geothermal area in northern California. The analyses of the results provided insight into the structure of the drainage flows and permitted the design of a more comprehensive series of experiments that were conducted du… more

Beam propagation in the frequency-converted subsystems of Nova and Novette

Description: An analysis of beam propagation for the frequency converted Nova/Novette systems is given and self-focusing effects are reviewed. It is shown that the nonlinear growth of beam modulation produced by self-focusing is proportional 1/2 exp B where B is the intensity dependent phase retardation (measured in radians) accumulated by the beam. This exponential growth of beam modulation in the baseline frequency conversion/focusing optical train limits the system performance for short pulse (tau < 2 ns… more

Behavior of carbon-14 in waste packages for spent fuel in a repository in tuff. Revision 1

Description: Analysis of gas from a heated air-filled canister containing a spent fuel assembly before and after rupture of a fuel rod shows that about 1.5 mCi of {sup 14}C from the external surface of the assembly was rapidly oxidized and released as {sup 14}CO{sub 2} in excess oxygen at 275{sup 0}C and 10{sup 4}/sup rad/h. After rupture, an additional 0.3 mCi was released, probably also from the external surface. The total {sup 14}C inventory in the entire 15 x 15 rod assembly including structural hardwar… more

Cable-in-conduit conductor optimization for fusion magnet applications

Description: Careful design of the toroidal-field (TF) and poloidal-field (PF) coils in a tokamak machine using cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC) can result in quite high overall winding-pack current densities - even with the high nuclear heat loads that may be imposed in operating a fusion reactor - and thereby help reduce the overall machine size. In our design process, we systematically examined the operational environment of a magnet, e.g., mechanical stresses, current, field, heat load, coolant temper… more

Calculational tools for the evaluation of nuclear cross-section and spectra data

Description: A technique based on discrete energy levels rather than energy level densities is presented for nuclear reaction calculations. The validity of the technique is demonstrated via theoretical and experimental agreement for cross sections, isomer-ratios and gamma-ray strength functions. 50 refs., 7 figs. (WRF)

CC-EC Transporter Analysis

Description: The following calculations were used to develop a structure required to transport completed calorimeters (CC-EC) from the assembly area to a staging point for installation onto center beam. The transporter is equipped with four (4) 200 ton hydraulic cylinders and four (4) 200 ton capacity Hillman Rollers. The components are used for the lifting and moving of calorimeters. R. Wands is doing the Ansys analysis based on 2 conditions: (1) Statically loaded on the transporter support corner; and (2)… more

Central Calorimeter Thermal Gradient Module Connection Analysis

Description: Two 20 kW condensing and one 10 kW steady state cooling coils will be used to cool and condense gaseous argon in the Central Calorimeter (CC) Cryostat. Since this cool down (300K to 90K) will inevitably cause shrinkage in the modules contained inside the cryostat, the connections between the modules have to be designed to withstand the increase in forces and moments induced by this contraction. This paper presents finite element analysis (ANSYS{reg_sign}) results to aid in the design or modific… more

Characterization of the solid product(s) formed when UF/sub 6/ is released into ambient air in a contained volume (U)

Description: Preliminary characterization of the plume or cloud produced by the release of UF/sub 6/ into humid air and the particulates comprising this cloud has been accomplished. The explosive release was conducted in a vessel in which the air at atmospheric pressure was static and the particulate material was collected on microscope grids by gravitational settling. Transmission and Scanning Electron Microscopy (TEM and SEM) have been used to determine the size or range of sizes of the particles produced… more

Computer modeling of piezoresistive gauges

Description: A computer model of a piezoresistive gauge subject to shock loading is developed. The time-dependent two-dimensional response of the gauge is calculated. The stress and strain components of the gauge are determined assuming elastic-plastic material properties. The model is compared with experiment for four cases. An ytterbium foil gauge in a PPMA medum subjected to a 0.5 Gp plane shock wave, where the gauge is presented to the shock with its flat surface both parallel and perpendicular to the f… more

Cost effectiveness of long life incandescent lamps and energy buttons

Description: Long-life replacement lamps for the incandescent lamp have been evaluated with regard to their cost effectiveness. The replacements include the use of energy buttons that extend lamp life as well as an adaptive fluorescent circline lamp that will fit into existing incandescent lamp sockets. The initial, operating, and replacement costs for one million lumen hours are determined for each lamp system. It is found that the most important component lighting cost is the operating cost. Using lamps t… more

Creep of 304 LN and 316 L stainless steels at cryogenic temperatures

Description: Creep behavior of Type 304 LN plate and 316 L shielded-metal-arc (SMA)-deposited stainless weld metal was investigated at 4/sup 0/K. Testing was performed at constant load in a creep machine with a cryostat designed for long-term stability. Both transient and steady-state creep were observed during tests lasting over 2000 hours. Steady-state creep rates were much greater than expected from extrapolations of 300-K creep data. Creep rates on the order of 10/sup -10/ s/sup -1/ were observed at str… more
