New generation of arc and arc filament power supplies for pulsed neutral beams

Description: The new Tandem Mirror Experiment (TMX) facility at LLL requires that neutral beams operate for pulse lengths between 25 and 100 ms. The inevitable increase in cost over the present 12-ms pulse length capability dictated that a more economical alternative to the pulse forming networks and the transformer-type arc filament power supplies currently in use be found. A study of the various alternatives and design requirements revealed that battery banks are the most economical alternative. The therm… more

Estimate of earth media shear strength at the Nevada Test Site

Description: A method is presented of estimating the effective shear strength of the fractured rock that surrounds a nuclear detonation. To do this, we measure the cavity radii from previous detonations. We also use numerical computer codes to model the explosion phenomenology and develop the functional relationship between the normalized cavity displacement and the normalized shear strength of the rock. In this sense, the computer codes serve as replica models that are dimensionally analyzed to interpret t… more

Numerical methods for laser fusion

Description: The LASNEX computer code was developed to study the many interrelated physical processes important in the effort to achieve laser initiated fusion. It has been used to calculate the results of numerous laser plasma experiments and to design targets and determine desirable laser pulse characteristics for future experiments. Some processes, such as hydrodynamics, are well formulated in fundamental equations and can be solved with high accuracy by sophisticated numerical methods. Other processes, … more

Uranium miner lung cancer study. Progress report, July 1, 1976--July 1, 1977

Description: This study was initiated in 1957 by the U.S. Public Health and many facets of this project are reaching final objectives. Many new studies have developed in the course of this study and will continue. The projects supported by the Energy Research and Development Administration are of utmost importance and consist of: collection of material from uranium miners known to have cancer of the lung into a tumor registry; manual on pulmonary cytology; regression study of sputum cytological findings in … more

Engineering of beam direct conversion for a 120-kV, 1-MW ion beam

Description: Practical systems for beam direct conversion are required to recover the energy from ion beams at high efficiency and at very high beam power densities in the environment of a high-power, neutral-injection system. Such an experiment is now in progress using a 120-kV beam with a maximum total current of 20 A. After neutralization, the H/sup +/ component to be recovered will have a power of approximately 1 MW. A system testing these concepts has been designed and tested at 15 kV, 2 kW in preparat… more

LOFT emergency core coolant thermal analysis Class I review

Description: The LOFT Emergency Core Coolant Piping Thermal Analysis was checked to insure that the calculations made would conservatively satisfy the requirements in the LOFT technical specifications. Some of the boundary conditions used have not been shown to be conservative and require review and possible re-analysis. One of the thermal models used could not be clearly related to a specific part of the piping geometry and requires further explanation. The remainder of the models, the use of the SIMIR cod… more

Near Term Hybrid Passenger Vehicle Development Program. Phase I, Final report. Appendix D: sensitivity analysis

Description: This report on the Sensitivity of Mission Analysis and Trade-off Studies provides an analysis of the sensitivity of the results of previous mission analysis and performance specification studies to the possible variations of the values of significant parameters as projected to the year 1985. These parameters include vehicle usage by purpose, driving cycles, trip lengths, ownership projections, and life-cycle costs. Tabulated data are included from calculations with variations in these parameter… more

Atomic data needs for beam transport in gas

Description: Determination of the parameters Z/sub eff/, electrical conductivity, plasma density, and the plasma temperature is essential in the study of heavy ion beam transport in gas. The calculation of these parameters require input from atomic physics. This note is an attempt to make these needs known to atomic physicists.
