Chemically separating transplutonium elements from rare earth fission products

Description: The existing technology of lanthanide-actinide separations is discussed with emphasis on the difficulties to be expected if the currently practiced separation methods were to be applied to waste partitioning. All of the workable methods known are noted, and three out of the four have seen many applications for the last 20 to 25 years at our Laboratory and elsewhere. The fourth, developed at ORNL 16 to 17 years ago, has been applied to waste partitioning in Germany. Each of these methods depends… more

Data collected by the Shock Wave Data Center

Description: The Shock Wave Data Center of the Lawrence Livermore Lab collects and disseminates P.V.E. data obtained with shock waves. It has been in existence since 1964. An extensive number of papers reporting shock data had become available by that time. This was so in spite of the fact that the technology was developed only during the 2nd World War. Collection and partial evaluation of this data was therefore of value to facilitate its use by our laboratory and others who were involved with science and … more

Determination of the rate and efficiency of nitrogen transfer from phytoplankton to zooplankton using nitrogen-15 as a tracer. Final report

Description: The rate of assimilated nitrogen transfer from phytoplankton to zooplankton was measured under field conditions for natural mixed zooplankton populations using a nitrogen-15 tracer technique. The variability in rates, which ranged from 0.261 to 1.792 gram-atoms of phytoplankton nitrogen/gram-atoms of zooplankton nitrogen/24 hours, are thought to reflect a variability in the age frequency distribution of the zooplankton population. The data were used to calculate assimilation efficiencies which … more

Economics of geothermal electricity generation from hydrothermal resources

Description: The most important factors affecting the economics of geothermal electricity production are the wellhead temperature or enthalpy, the well flow rate, and the cost of the wells. The capital cost of the powerplant is significant, but not highly sensitive to these resource characteristics. The optimum geothermal plant size will remain small, usually in the 50-100 MWe range. Therefore, the opportunities for achieving significant cost reductions through ''economies of scale'' are small. The steam an… more

Equilibrium water vapor pressure and total moisture content measurements on TATB

Description: Equilibrium water vapor pressure and total moisture content were measured for samples of TATB-10 percent Kel-F, TATB-6 percent Estane, and TATB-9 percent Viton in a temperature range from 296 to 365/sup 0/K. Heats of vaporization were obtained for temperatures from 296 to 333/sup 0/K. Below 333/sup 0/K the water in the samples behaved as dissolved water and the Clausius-Clapeyron equation was applicable, while above 333/sup 0/K the water dissolved in the samples became very mobile and for pract… more

Geothermal commercial power plant study. Monthly progress report, September 25-October 22, 1976

Description: Efforts were concentrated on plant operating modes. The Heber plant, which was previously designed for consistant brine temperature, was reviewed and changes necessary to accomodate declining brine temperature were determined. Resultant required modifications to the computer code GEOTHM were made. The engineering, in terms of sketches and equipment lists, needed to support the capital cost estimate was determined. Attempts to use the computer program GEOTHM to develop the heat and mass balances… more

Low-pressure approach to the formation and study of exciplex systems. Progress report

Description: Continued fundamental studies are proposed on both the formation and properties of new materials for high-energy, gas-phase lasers. As originally proposed, attention will be focused mainly (but not wholly) on systems which have bound excited states but unbound ground states. An important class of such excimer/exciplex systems has a van der Waals dimer/oligomer as its ground state. In the original proposal for this work, a new method for the preparation of excimers and exciplexes was presented i… more

Modification of a hardwired numerical control to include switchable Inch/Metric capability. [Digital logic of Hughes N/C Model 2000 Control on EE Monarch lathe]

Description: A unique and relatively simple method is described for modifying a 1965-vintage hardwired numerical control (N/C) for a machine tool so that it can operate in the SI (Metric) as well as the Inch mode. The modification procedure will be valuable during the transition from Inch to SI measurements, as it allows a numerically-controlled machine tool originally designed to operate only in the Inch mode to be ''recycled'' for SI use. The system digital logic of a Hughes N/C Model … more
