Potential of pyroprocessing for partitioning purex wastes

Description: The processes are extremely compact. The process reagents are highly resistant to radiation damage and, therefore, can be used to handle short-cooled, highly concentrated waste with negligible degradation. Most reagents can be recycled back through the process many times, thereby minimizing the generation of waste products, and also reducing the process cost. Fission-product wastes are discharged from the process as concentrated, solid wastes, typically in a metal matrix suitable for permanent … more

Personal extrapolation of CDF test beam use to the SSC

Description: The author's personal experience in test beam usage at CDF is used to predict SSC needs at the point of turn-on. It is concluded that the test beam demand will reflect the scale of effort involved in SSC detectors rather than the total number of them. Provision for later expansion is recommended. It is also recommended that the test beam facilities, as well as detector electronics, should reflect the available dynamic range; particularly, a single high energy beam derived from the SSC could be … more

Tandem mirror reactors with thermal barriers

Description: Preliminary calculations of Q and magnet designs are presented for three different versions of tandem mirror reactors (TMR) using thermal barriers to enhance plug potentials by auxiliary electron heating. These three versions, called A-cell-barrier TMR, axisymmetric-barrier TMR, and inside-barrier TMR, exhibit reduced plug density (n/sub p/ << 10/sup 19/ m/sup -3/) and less required magnetic mirror field (B/sub mirror approx. = 9 T) compared to TMR designs without thermal barriers. A-cell barri… more

Dispersive effects of transverse displacements of SLC Arc magnets

Description: The SLC Arc magnets are subject to random displacements and field errors resulting in unpredictable transverse displacement of the central trajectory from that of the design. The chosen method of correcting this perturbed trajectory in the SLC Arcs utilizes mechanical movement of the combined function magnets which compose the Arc transport lines. Here we present the results of a recent investigation substantiating the earlier results which led to the adoption of this method.
