Status report: waste incineration and fixation for Waste Management, Production, and Reprocessing Division of the Department of Energy (July--December 1976)

Description: Fluidized bed incineration and waste fixation processes are being used to process the types of wastes expected from nuclear fuel reprocessing and production plants. Test incineration runs have been made on two types of wastes: high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and tributyl phosphate-solvent solutions. Laboratory-scale vitrification equipment was used to produce glass pellets from incinerator ash and blends of other expected waste streams. Computer modeling gave an expected product … more

Evaluation of cracking in feedwater piping adjacent to the steam generators in Nine Pressurized Water Reactor Plants

Description: Cracking in ASTM A106-B and A106-C feedwater piping was detected near the inlet to the steam generators in a number of pressurized water reactor plants. We received sections with cracks from nine of the plants with the objective of identifying the cracking mechanism and assessing various factors that might contribute to this cracking. Variations were observed in piping surface irregularities, corrosion-product, pit, and crack morphology, surface elmental and crystal structure analyses, and stee… more

Quadric solids and computational geometry

Description: As part of the CAD-CAM development project, this report discusses the mathematics underlying the program QUADRIC, which does computations on objects modeled as Boolean combinations of quadric half-spaces. Topics considered include projective space, quadric surfaces, polars, affine transformations, the construction of solids, shaded image, the inertia tensor, moments, volume, surface integrals, Monte Carlo integration, and stratified sampling. 1 figure.

Numerical simulation of the stability in a cable-in-conduit conductor developed for fusion-magnet applications

Description: The stability margins of the US-Demonstration Poloidal Coil (US-DPC) and the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) TF coils have been modeled numerically using the computer program CICC. The computed US-DPC limiting current, I{sub lim}, compares favorably with the values determined experimentally. Using the detailed program CICC output, we investigated the DPC quench initiation mechanism in each of the three stability regions. In the ill-cooled region, the imposed heat pulse h… more

Time-dependent properties of fiber composites for energy-storage flywheels

Description: Time-dependent deformation and time-dependent strength are being characterized for several candidate polymeric composites for flywheels. This presentation highlights the motivation and the philosophy of the characterization adopted by the authors in establishing the ongoing programs at LLL. This overview is intended to provide a basis for inferring the type of enginering data being generated for different aspects of flywheel design. The details of these data can be obtained from the published r… more

Tritium experience at RTNS-II

Description: Neutrons are produced at the Rotating Target Neutron Source-II (RTNS-II) by deuteron bombardment of a rotating tritium target. Tritium is released from these targets into the accelerator vacuum system. The vacuum system exhaust is first scrubbed and then vented via the facility stack. Tritium emission from the facility in normal operation with vacuum system exhaust flowing through the scrubber is extremely low, <1 mCi/day. Releases from by-passing the tritium scrubber during roughing of the vac… more

Production of muons for fusion catalysis in a magnetic mirror configuration. Revision 1

Description: For muon-catalyzed fusion to be of practical interest, a very efficient means of producing muons must be found. We describe a scheme for producing muons that may be more energy efficient than any heretofore proposed. There are, in particular, some potential advantages of creating muons from collisions of high energy tritons confined in a magnetic mirror configuration. If one could catalyze 200 fusions per muon and employ a uranium blanket that would multiply the neutron energy by a factor of 10… more

Supernovae, compact stars and nuclear physics

Description: We briefly review the current understanding of supernova. We investigate the implications of rapid rotation corresponding to the frequency of the new pulsar reported in the supernovae remnant SN1987A. It places very stringent conditions on the equation of state if the star is assumed to be bound by gravity alone. We find that the central energy density of the star must be greater than 12 times that of nuclear density to be stable against the most optimistic estimate of general relativistic inst… more

Current drive and heating systems for an ITER HARD option

Description: A conceptual design has been developed for a reference current drive and heating system for a HARD (High Aspect Ratio Design) option for ITER. Twelve neutral beam modules, each rated at 1.3MeV and 9.2MW, perform plasma heating and current drive. An electron cyclotron system is used for initiating the plasma and for disruption control. An alternate system has been defined which is comprised of a lower hybrid and ion cyclotron system for heating and current drive, augmented by the same electron c… more

New tools using the hardware performance monitor to help users tune programs on the Cray X-MP

Description: The performance of a Cray system is highly dependent on the tuning techniques used by individuals on their codes. Many of our users were not taking advantage of the tuning tools that allow them to monitor their own programs by using the Hardware Performance Monitor (HPM). We therefore modified UNICOS to collect HPM data for all processes and to report Mflop ratings based on users, programs, and time used. Our tuning efforts are now being focused on the users and programs that have the best pote… more

Flood Safety of the Mixed Spectrum Superheater

Description: Calculations are presented which show that the reactivity effect of flooding and unflooding the fast superheating section of the Mixed Spectrum Superheater can be made small by the addition of epithermal poisons to the superheater. The reactivity effects of flooding superheater sections ranging in size from 1.25 to 3.5 ft cubes and containing U/sup 23/5/sup >/oxide or Pu/sup 239/ oxide fuel and various amounts o f the epithermal poison europium were calculated.
