Advanced waste forms research and development. Annual report

Description: Research and development activities on advanced (alternatives to glass) nuclear waste forms are reported. The emphasis is on two phases of the work to give essential background information on supercalcine development. The first is a report of the data obtained in the study of cesium aluminosilicate for Cs and Ru fixation. Research on the compatibility of the phases formed in the complex oxide system made up of waste and additive cations is reported. The phase stability in a number of proposed f… more

ALLCAL: An Interactive BASIC Program for Spectrochemical Calculations

Description: An interactive program, ALLCAL, has been developed at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) to calculate the results of spectrochemical measurements of impurities in production samples. The program generates a working curve from input data of standard samples to calculate the impurity concentrations. ALLCAL permits use by individuals with minimal programming experience/ it is truly interactive in providing periodic means to edit, modify, and change incorrect data that might have been introduc… more

Analysis of (n,2n) cross-section measurements for nuclei up to mass 238

Description: All suitable measurements of the energy dependence of (n,2n) cross sections of all isotopes up to mass 238 have been analyzed. The objectives were to display the quality of the measured data for each isotope and to examine the systematic dependence of the (n,2n) cross section upon N, Z, and A. Graphs and tables are presented of the ratio of the asymptotic (n,2n) and nonelastic cross section to the neutron-asymmetry parameter (N--Z)/A. Similar data are presented for the derived nuclear temperatu… more

Application of a drift-flux model to flashing in straight pipes

Description: A new computer program, SOLA-OF, has been written to solve the unsteady, two-dimensional equations of motion for a two-phase mixture. The equations solved are based on the drift-flux approximation and include a phase transition model and a general drift velocity calculation. The SOLA-DF code is used for a study of the blowdown of straight pipes initially filled with water at high temperature and pressure. Computed results are presented that show the relative importance of phase transition rates… more

Application of controlled thermonuclear reactor fusion energy for food production

Description: Food and energy shortages in many parts of the world in the past two years raise an immediate need for the evaluation of energy input in food production. The present paper investigates systematically (1) the energy requirement for food production, and (2) the provision of controlled thermonuclear fusion energy for major energy intensive sectors of food manufacturing. Among all the items of energy input to the ''food industry,'' fertilizers, water for irrigation, food processing industries, such… more

Applications of time-differential perturbed angular correlations to the study of solids

Description: Time-differential perturbed angular correlation techniques were applied to a systematic study of insulating antiferromagnets and rare-earth intermetallic alloys doped with either /sup 111m/Cd or $sup 111$In. The internal magnetic fields and electric field gradients at the radioactive nucleus are deduced from the experimentally measured perturbation factors. The analysis of fluoride, chloride, oxide, and sulfide data shows the systematic variation of the observed supertransferred hyperfine field… more
