1-1/2-Loop Semiscale Isothermal Test Program: Program and System Description in Support of Experiment Data Reports.

Description: The isothermal test series is part of the Semiscale Blowdown and Emergency Core Cooling (ECC) Project conducted by Aerojet Nuclear Company for the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. The test series consisted of ten blowdown tests and five hot-wall tests with emphasis on emergency core coolant delivery. The blowdown tests were conducted to investigate the effects of lower plenum geometry, heat transfer configuration, ECC injection location, downcomer gap size, and break size.

200-GeV ISA with room temperature magnets

Description: A conceptual design study of 200-GeV proton intersecting storage accclerators with room temperature magnets is presented. The key to this study was thc desire to keep the electric power consumptiom to an acceptable level (40 MW). The design has been optimized by choosing small-gap (4 cm) aluminum coil dipoles operating at about 15 kG. The luminosity of this machine is limited to about 10/sup 32/ cm-/sup -2/ sec/sup -1/ by transverse space-charg e effects. An order of magnitude higher luminositiā€¦ more

Air Pollution: A Selected, Annotated Bibliography

Description: This report is an annotated bibliography of references on air pollution, mainly focusing on Congressional documents that were recent as of the report's publication. In the first section, the author organizes the entries alphabetically by author, or by title if there is no author. In the second section, the author arranges the entries by major subject headings, with sub-headings where necessary.

Analysis of the SIAM Infrared Acquisition System

Description: This report describes and presents the results of an analysis of the performance of the infrared acquisition system for a Self-Initiated Antiaircraft Missile (SIAM). A description of the optical system is included, and models of target radiant intensity, atmospheric transmission, and background radiance are given. Acquisition probabilities are expressed in terms of the system signal-to-noise ratio. System performance against aircraft and helicopter targets is analyzed, and background discriminaā€¦ more

Artificial geothermal reservoirs in hot volcanic rock

Description: S>Some recent results from the Los Alamos program in which hydraulic fracturing is used for the recovery of geothermal energy are discussed. The location is about 4 kilometers west and south of the ring fault of the enormous Jemez Caldera in the northcentral part of New Mexico. It is shown that geothermal energy may be extracted from hot rock that does not contain circulating hot water or steam and is relatively impermeable. A fluid is pumped at high pressure into an isolated section of a wellbā€¦ more

Assessment of the loss of radioactive isotopes from waste solids to the environment. Part I. Background and theory

Description: A report is given of several theoretical expressions based on mass transport phenomena that relate the radioactivity escaping from such solids to diffusion, dissolution processes, surface conditions, and radioactive decay. Representative available data for radioactive waste solids incorporated in cement, asphalt, ceramic, and glass media are analyzed using the theoretical expressions presented. These analyses show that an expression taking into account diffusion and concentration-dependent dissā€¦ more

Calculation of ionization in hydrodynamics codes. I. Theory

Description: A formalism is developed for calculating ionization in laser driven hydrodynamics codes. Starting from equations for collisional ionization and radiative recombination, approximations are made to allow their easier solution. Steady-state solutions are assumed to be of most importance to the extent that transient solutions to the rate equations are ignored. Free-bound radiation is also treated in a hydrogenic approximation. (auth)

Causes of the yield-point phenomenon in commercial beryllium products

Description: The variables of iron content, texture, and grain size are studied as a function of solutionizing, aging, and strain-aging heat treatments. Results show that the yield point is caused by precipitate pinning. Furthermore, precipitation is enhanced by pre-strain, which can be introduced by elevated- temperature working, rapid cooling, or tensile elongation at room temperature. Aging is effective between 400 and 760 deg C, depending on the type of pre- strain, iron content, and texture. Cottrell-tā€¦ more

Characterization of actinide bearing soils: top sixty centimeters of 216-Z- 9 enclosed trench

Description: A program to examine the soil-actinide relationship in sediments from a disposal facility was initiated in March 1973. Initial work has been done using samples from the 216-Z-9 covered trench. Soil mounts were made of soil recovered from a core of an uncontaminated well drilled alongside Z-9 trench. The mounts were made by plastic-impregnating smaller, 1-in. diameter cores taken from the original 4-in. diameter cores. The uncontaminated mounts showed that the less than 30 mesh soil was composedā€¦ more
