(Test and gather data on sweep spike combination tillage tool)

Description: This summary presents the data accumulated to date with only brief comment. It is prepared with the intent that the viewers will offer advice on terminology, data presentation, methods and other. The year end analysis will detail changes in the data due to the tillage treatments. The data is incomplete due to equipment problems and time limitations due to the wet fall and early freeze up. The trial was not completed due to our inability to get the Mikkelsen Chisel Plow Shovel (MCP), a 16 inch s… more

High temperature ceramic membrane reactors for coal liquid upgrading

Description: In this project we well evaluate the performance of Sel-Gel alumina membranes in coal liquid upgrading processes under realistic temperature and pressure conditions and investigate the feasibility of using such membranes in a membrane reactor based coal liquid upgrading process. In addition, the development of novel ceramic membranes with enhanced catalytic activity for coal-liquid upgrading applications, such as carbon-coated alumina membranes, will be also investigated.

Free-electron laser using rf-coupled accelerating and decelerating structures

Description: A free electron laser and free electron laser amplifier using beam transport devices for guiding an electron beam to a wiggler of a free electron laser and returning the electron beam to decelerating cavities disposed adjacent to the accelerating cavities of the free electron laser. Rf energy is extracted from the electron beam after it emerges from the wiggler by means of the decelerating cavities which are closely coupled to the accelerating cavities, or by means of a second bore within a sin… more

PREPARATION AND FABRICATION OF ThO$sub 2$ FUELS

Description: Dense partricles of ThO/sub 2/-UO/sub 2/ were prepared by a sol-gel process and vibratorily compacted into metal tubes to a density approaching 9.0 g/ cc. The steps in this method are all simple and can be carried out behind shielding, which is necessary for refabricating U/sup 233/ fuels. The sol-gel process consists of preparing a hydrous thoria sol, adding the U/sup 233/ as nitrate solution, evaporating to a gel, and finally calcining to almost theoretically dense oxide particles at orly 115… more

Accelerometer and strain gage evaluation

Description: This document describes the method developed by Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) to evaluate transducer used in the design certification testing of nuclear material shipping packages. This testing project was performed by SNL for the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM). This evaluation is based on the results of tests conducted to measure ruggedness, failure frequency, repeatability, and manufacturers' calibration data under both field and laboratory conditions. The result… more

Discrete-event simulation of nuclear-waste transport in geologic sites subject to disruptive events. Final report

Description: This report outlines a methodology to study the effects of disruptive events on nuclear waste material in stable geologic sites. The methodology is based upon developing a discrete events model that can be simulated on the computer. This methodology allows a natural development of simulation models that use computer resources in an efficient manner. Accurate modeling in this area depends in large part upon accurate modeling of ion transport behavior in the storage media. Unfortunately, developm… more

Aviation Security: Status of TSA's Acquisition of Technology for Screening Passenger Identification and Boarding Passes

Description: Testimony issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "In summary, TSA has completed its initial testing of the CAT/BPSS technology and has begun operational testing at three airports. We found the project’s associated life cycle cost estimate to be reasonably comprehensive and well documented, although we are less confident in its accuracy due to questions about the assumed inflation rate. In addition, we could not evaluate its credibility because the current ve… more
