Axicell MFTF-B superconducting-magnet system

Description: The Axicell MFTF-B magnet system will provide the field environment necessary for tandem mirror plasma physics investigation with thermal barriers. The performance of the device will stimulate DT to achieve energy break-even plasma conditions. Operation will be with deuterium only. There will be 24 superconducting coils consisting of 2 sets of yin-yang pairs, 14 central-cell solenoids, 2 sets of axicell mirror-coil pairs, and 2 transition coils between the axicell mirror coil-pairs and the yin-… more

Investigation of photovoltaic mechanisms in polycrystalline thin-film solar cells. Interim technical report, November 1, 1980-July 31, 1981

Description: Effort is reported on measurement technique development to assess the utility of Deep-Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS) methods in characterizing polycrystalline silicon that was deliberately doped with Ti during growth. Difficulties encountered with lateral DLTS measurements are discussed. In this approach, modulation of the grain boundary, double-depletion region produces the entire DLTS signal. Major effort has been applied in grain boundary characterization and control. The most significa… more

Development of low level liquid waste treatment systems: April-September 1981

Description: The pilot plant reverse osmosis system was demonstrated to be effective in removing large percentages of cobalt-60, iodine-125, and a mixture of cesium-137, cobalt-60, and iodine-125 from two types of aqueous streams. The effectiveness of three membrane porosities, 0, 50, and 97% salt rejection, were explored with each isotope. The 97% salt rejection membrane was the most effective in each experiment. Removals as high as 97.5% of the cobalt, 92.9% of the iodine and 95.1% of the combined isotope… more

Tevatron B0 low beta tuning report

Description: A detailed study of the low beta insertion for the B0 experimental area has been carried out and is described below. This insertion is similar to the Type C low beta previously report, anti p Note 169, although some changes have been made to the quadrupole lengths and positions. This insertion is designated Type E. The purpose of the study was to see if it is possible to turn the insertion on in a smooth and continuous manner and tune the insertion to a value of ..beta..* of less than one meter… more

Reinjection and injection of fluids in geothermal operations (state of the art)

Description: A summary of the problems (encountered as well as anticipated) associated with reinjection of heat-depleted brines and injection of other fluids such as imported brines and gases is presented. Covered are only injection and reinjection problems which are related to the exploitation of liquid-dominated resources by flash-cycle power plants. Suggestions (proven as well as probable) which may offer solutions to many of the identified problems are also covered. In addition, some ideas that should o… more

Adak Island, Alaska, Microearthquake survey: Preliminary Hypocenter Determinations

Description: Microearthquakes, defined as shocks having magnitudes less than 4, are commonly recorded in the vicinity of geothermal manifestations and volcanism. They have been mapped from producing geothermal fields as well as those not yet developed, in such places as Iceland, El Salvador, Japan, Kenya and the US. Microearthquakes have been recorded at several geothermal sites in the Imperial Valley and Coso Hot Springs, California; Kilbourne Hole, New Mexico; Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming; and The G… more

Task Report Computer Program Documentation (for DEGEOWEL Well Design Program)

Description: A model has been developed that allows the design of geothermal production wells. This design problem is quite complex because of the many physical and chemical phenomena that take place in the well bore, each of which has a significant influence on the well performance with respect to total flow rate of brine and steam, pressure loss up the well, or wellhead pressure available for the power producing system, scaling and plugging of the well due to chemical precipitates. The accuracy of the des… more

Examining the Monetary Causes of the Economic Slowdown

Description: This issue brief investigates the effects of changes in money supply growth on the current economic conditions. The results presented are based upon a statistical methodology outlined in a CRS report (No.82-43E, March 1982) of the same title. The approach may be distinguished from most previous work along these lines in that it attempts to estimate the statistical significance of the 1979-82 deceleration in monetary growth. The resulting estimates are then employed in analyzing the timing impli… more
