Position paper -- Tank temperature element location

Description: The purpose of this paper is to develop and document a position on the number and location of temperature elements to be used in the Project W-236A, Multi-Function Waste Tank Facility (MWTF) waste storage tanks. The current preliminary design for the temperature element (TE) placement in the MWTF waste tanks is essentially a copy of the TE placement in existing Double-Shell Tanks (DST). The basis for the placement of these TEs in existing farms is not widely documented and was arrived at by con… more

Grout gas generation test plan

Description: Disclosed are detailed procedures for measuring the rate of gas generation by grout made from synthetic tanks wastes or actual tank material. Objective is to measure the rate of gas generation for various gases (H{sub 2}, N{sub 2}O, etc.) produced when grout, prepared using tank waste, is heated at 65 C. Experiments will also be conducted using grout from synthetic tank waste, as practice. Purpose is to provide data for evaluation of safety risks presented by gas generation in the grout vault a… more

D0 Silicon Upgrade: Helium and LN2 Storage Requirements for D-Zero Upgrade

Description: Calculations were done to determine a recommended size for the liquid helium storage dewar, gas helium storage tanks, and liquid nitrogen dewar requirements. I recommend a Liquid helium storage dewar with a nominal size of at least 2500 liters (660 gallons), preferably 3000 liters (792 gallons). I recommend obtaining gas helium storage tanks with a maximum allowable working pressure (MA WP) of 250 psig or greater. Combined volume to be at least 5880 cubic feet (44,000 gallons). I recommend obta… more

D0 Silicon Upgrade: ASME Code and Pressure Calculations for Liquid Nitrogen Subcooler

Description: Included in this engineering note are three separate calculation divisions. The first calculations are the determination of the required thickness of the LN{sub 2} subcooler flat head according to ASME code. This section includes Appendix A-C. The minimum plate thickness determined was 0.563 in. The actual thickness chosen in fabrication was a 3/4-inch plate milled to 0.594-inch at the bolt circle. Along with the plate thickness, this section calculates the required reinforcement area at the to… more

Analysis of K-1 fan system for replacement of valve actuator, B Plant/Waste Encapsulation and Storage Facility

Description: Components of the K-1 fan system were evaluated for structural adequacy to accommodate an actuator weighing 540 lbs. The components evaluated were the connectors between the actuator and the valve, the duct between the valve and the facility wall, and the stud anchors connecting the duct to the facility wall. The loads were deadload, snow, operating loads, and seismic loads. The components were found to be structurally adequate for these loads.

Evaluation of remaining life of the double-shell tank waste systems

Description: A remaining life assessment of the DSTs (double-shell tanks) and their associated waste transfer lines, for continued operation over the next 10 years, was favorable. The DST assessment was based on definition of significant loads, evaluation of data for possible material degradation and geometric changes and evaluation of structural analyses. The piping assessment was based primarily on service experience.

Foreign Direct Investment in the U.S.: Staging a Comeback?

Description: After four years of decline, foreign direct investment in the United States showed sharp gains in 1993 and 1994. Japan remained the largest foreign direct investor in the U.S. economy in 1993, despite a sharp slow down in investments by Japanese firms compared with British firms, the second largest direct investors. The overall foreign direct investment position in U.S. businessesand real estate - or the accumulated book value of all foreign investments - increased by $20 billion in 1993, nearl… more

Chemical Agent Attacks in Japan

Description: The release of the nerve agent Sarin in Tokyo's subway system on March 20, marks the first clearly non-state terrorist use of chemical weapons. The agent was highly diluted andmfatalities were relatively few (10), though the number of injured was substantial (5,000+, with 600 hospitalized). This incident clearly indicates the potential political effectiveness of chemical weapons against an unprotected civilian population. Once a population has been sensitized by an incident like this, even the … more
