Child Support Enforcement

Description: During the first session of the 98th Congress, the House passed H.R. 4325, 422-0. This measure requires States to adopt several methods of enforcing overdue child support obligations, including mandatory wage withholding; requires States to permit establishment of paternity until a child's 18th birthday; alters the incentive payment formula for child support collections; and extends the formula to collections made on behalf of non-AFDC children. The report includes background and policy analysi… more

Clinch River breeder reactor sodium fire protection system design and development

Description: To assure the protection of the public and plant equipment, improbable accidents were hypothesized to form the basis for the design of safety systems. One such accident is the postulated failure of the Intermediate Heat Transfer System (IHTS) piping within the Steam Generator Building (SGB), resulting in a large-scale sodium fire. This paper discusses the design and development of plant features to reduce the consequences of the accident to acceptable levels. Additional design solutions were ma… more

Control of Oxidation Potential for Basalt Repository Simulation Tests

Description: Borosilicate waste glass durability in simulated repository environments can be assessed by use of static tests in leach vessels fabricated of the representative geomedia. Control of the oxidation potential during the test simulates a basalt repository environment. Under very anoxic conditions (i.e., at negative Eh values) the interactions between basalt and SRP waste glass in silica-saturated basaltic groundwaters are the same as those of basalt and groundwater when no waste glass is present. … more

Control system for glassing hot presses

Description: A software programmable control system has been developed that automates the glass fusing process used in the production of semiconductor thermopile elements. The new control system replaces an older, mostly manual, electromechanical design. This report describes the new control design and its functional features.

Displacement Damage in the First Structural Wall of an Inertial Confinement Fusion Reactor: Dependence on Blanket Design

Description: In this study we investigate how the design of the neutron blanket effects the displacement damage rate in the first structural wall (FSW) of an Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) reactor. Two generic configurations are examined; in the first, the steel wall is directly exposed to the fusion neutrons, whereas in the second, the steel wall is protected by inner blanket of lithium with an effective thickness of 1-m. The latter represents a HYLIFE-type design, which has been shown to have displacem… more

Foil fabrication for the ROMANO event. Revision 1

Description: The Vacuum Processes Lab (VPL), of LLNL's M.E. Dept. - Material Fabrication Division (MFD), conducted various vacuum related support activities for the ROMANO nuclear physics experiment. This report focuses on the foil fabrication activities carried out between July and November 1983 for the ROMANO event. Other vacuum related activities for ROMANO, such as outgassing tests of materials, are covered in separate documentation. VPL was asked to provide 270 coated Parylene foils for the ROMANO even… more

Forward-backward asymmetries in W and Z decays

Description: The leptons emitted in decays of W and Z bosons produced in pp or anti pp collisions exhibit characteristic asymmetries with respect to the beam direction, as measured in the W or Z center-of-mass. The asymmetries appear in both pp and anti pp collisions. For anti pp collisions they appear to be approximately constant over the whole y range for values of M/..sqrt..s greater than or equal to 0.1. For smaller values of M/..sqrt..s, the asymmetries become more and more washed out in the central re… more

Investigation of non-intrusive radiometer for entrained gasifier temperature measurement. First quarterly report, October 30, 1983-January 30, 1984

Description: The emphasis during the first quarter has been directed toward evaluating radiometric approaches to find the optimum technique to measure temperature in an entrained gasifier environment. In this regard, it was concluded that while total radiation measurements were helpful in providing designers with total radiation loads to hardware, it was not acceptable as a means of measuring temperature for the gas/particle environment considered. To make the temperature measurements, one, two, and three l… more

Review of free electron laser theory and experiments

Description: A review of the major Free Electron Laser (FEL) experiments will be presented. These experiments are designed to produce radiation at wavelengths from the far infrared to the ultraviolet. Different categories of FELs (Compton, Raman, optical klystron, two stage, etc.), as well as the suitability of various types of electron accelerators to power FELs, will also be discussed. Potential applications of the FEL will be summarized.

Wide spectrum antireflective coating for laser fusion systems. Final report

Description: A method of depositing a laser damage resistant, wide-spectrum antireflective coating on fused silica has been developed. This work was sponsored under a subcontract with the University of California, with technical direction from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The coating is applied from a specific silanol polymer solution and converted to a porous SiO/sub 2/ film. The pore size of the film is first reduced by a heat treatment to prevent uv scattering. Then gradation of the pore v… more
