Actinide recycle in LMFBRs as a waste management alternative

Description: A strategy of actinide burnup in fast reactor systems has been investigated as an approach for reducing the long term hazards and storage requirements of the actinide waste elements and their decay daughters. The actinide recycle studies also included plutonium burnup studies in the event that plutonium is no longer required as a fuel. Particular emphasis was placed upon the timing of the recycle program, the requirements for separability of the waste materials, and the impact of the actinides … more

Added Mass and Damping Coefficients for Hexagonal Tube Arrays

Description: An analytical investigation of the fluid coupling effects from an array of hexagonal cylindrical ducts undergoing harmonic oscillations is presented. A closed form solution for the velocity and pressure is obtained under a thin gap approximation for the case of moderate frequencies. From this solution, the usual viscous and inertial fluid coupling coefficients are easily obtained. These analytically derived coefficients indicate a strong dependence upon gap spacing and oscillating Reynolds numb… more

Aerial Gamma Ray and Magnetic Survey Raton Basin Project. Final Report Vol. 2

Description: The Flagstaff quadrangle in northern Arizona lies at the southwestern edge of the Colorado Plateau. Portions of the Black Mesa Basin and Mogollon Rim lie within the quadrangle. Mesozoic rocks cover 90% of the surface of the Black Mesa Basin, but Paleozoic rocks dominate the Mogollon Rim. Cenozoic instrusive and extrusive rocks of the San Francisco Volcanic Field and the Hopi Buttes are superimposed on the older sedimentary sequence. Magnetic data apparently show contributions from both deep and… more

ALDS 1978 panel review. [PNL]

Description: Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) is examining the analysis of large data sets (ALDS). After one year's work, a panel was convened to evaluate the project. This document is the permanent record of that panel review. It consists of edited transcripts of presentations made to the panel by the PNL staff, a summary of the responses of the panel to these presentations, and PNL's plans for the development of the ALDS project. The representations of the PNL staff described various aspects of the proj… more

Alternate materials of construction for geothermal applications. Progress report No. 18, January-March 1979

Description: Progress in a program to develop non-metallic materials for use in geothermal processes is described. To date, several high temperature polymer and polymer concrete systems were formulated, laboratory and field tests were performed in brine, flashing brine, and steam at temperatures up to 260/sup 0/C (500/sup 0/F), and economic studies were started. Laboratory data for exposure times > 2 years are available. Results are also available from field exposures of up to 24 months in five geothermal e… more

Amorphous Si solar cells. Second quarterly report, April 1-June 30, 1979

Description: The objectives of the program are to study and improve properties of plasma deposited a-Si and to design, manufacture and analyze a-Si devices. The accomplishments during the second quarter are: (1) material growth: (a) reproducible, stable, films can be grown from SiH/sub 4/ plasma. Films are generally free of pinholes or structures; (b) doping studies of n and p type have started; (c) films containing F have been grown from (H/sub 2/ + SiF/sub 4/) mixture; (2) material characterization: (a) f… more

Analysis and evaluation in the production process and equipment area of the low-cost solar array project

Description: The energy consumed in manufacturing silicon solar cell modules was calculated for the current process, as well as for 1982 and 1986 projected processes. In addition, energy payback times for the above three sequences are shown. The module manufacturing energy was partitioned two ways. In one way, the silicon reduction, silicon purification, sheet formation, cell fabrication, and encapsulation energies were found. In addition, the facility, equipment, processing matrial, and direct material los… more

Analysis of the ORNL/TSF GCFR Grid-Plate Shield Design Confirmation Experiment

Description: The results of the analysis of the GCFR Grid-Plate Shield Design Confirmation Experiment are presented. The experiment, performed at the ORNL Tower Shielding Facility, was designed to test the adequacy of methods and data used in the analysis of the GCFR design. In particular, the experiment tested the adequacy of methods to calculate: (1) axial neutron streaming in the GCFR core and axial blanket, (2) the amount and location of the maximum fast-neutron exposure to the grid plate, and (3) the n… more

Analysis of ventilation systems subjected to explosive transients: initial analysis and proposed approach. [Deflagration; detonation; transition from deflagration to detonation]

Description: This report describes an initial study of explosive pressure transients and their propagation through ventilation systems. The objective of this study is to organize the required calculations into a computer code that is highly user-oriented and will predict explosive-induced gas dynamics within a ventilation system. The explosive process is subdivided into three regimes - deflagration, detonation, and transition from deflagration to detonation. Equations describing each process and suggested p… more

Analytical validation of the CACECO containment analysis code. [LMFBR]

Description: The CACECO containment analysis code was developed to predict the thermodynamic responses of LMFBR containment facilities to a variety of accidents. This report covers the verification of the CACECO code by problems that can be solved by hand calculations or by reference to textbook and literature examples. The verification concentrates on the accuracy of the material and energy balances maintained by the code and on the independence of the four cells analyzed by the code so that the user can b… more
