Estimating ISABELLE shielding requirements

Description: Estimates were made of the shielding thicknesses required at various points around the ISABELLE ring. Both hadron and muon requirements are considered. Radiation levels at the outside of the shield and at the BNL site boundary are kept at or below 1000 mrem per year and 5 mrem/year respectively. Muon requirements are based on the Wang formula for pion spectra, and the hadron requirements on the hadron cascade program CYLKAZ of Ranft. A muon shield thickness of 77 meters of sand is indicated out… more

Seismic spectra of events at regional distances. [About 40 underground nuclear explosions at NTS]

Description: About 40 underground nuclear explosions detonated at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) were chosen for analysis of their spectra and any relationships they might have to source parameters such as yield, depth of burial, etc. The sample covered a large yield range (less than 20 kt to greater than 1 Mt). Broadband (0.05 to 20 Hz) data recorded by the four-station seismic network operated by Lawrence Livermore Laboratory were analyzed in a search for unusual explosion signatures in their spectra. Long ti… more

Homogeneous catalytic hydrogenations of complex carbonaceous substrates. [16 references]

Description: Results of homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of complex unsaturated substrates including coal and coal-derived materials are reported, with organic soluble molecular complexes as catalysts. Among the substrates used were Hvab coal, solvent-refined coal, and COED pyrolysate. The hydrogenations were carried out in an autoclave. The results are summarized in tables.

Investigation of the thermal yield from the subsurface explosions. [1 kt source buried at 0. 5, 1. 5 and 3. 0 meters]

Description: The objective of this investigation is to determine the upper limits on the thermal yield of a 1 kt source detonated at shallow depths. Three problems were computed for the depths of burial of 0.5, 1.5, and 3 m. The source is an iron bubble with 30 cm radius and 25 kg of mass. The computation was done on the CEL code. The results show that the relative thermal yield is no more than 6 percent, and that it vanishes at DOB of about 4 m. The computed blast strength is plotted against the range. The… more

Four-D propagation code for high-energy laser beams: a user's manual

Description: This manual describes the use and structure of the June 30, 1976 version of the Four-D propagation code for high energy laser beams. It provides selected sample output from a typical run and from several debug runs. The Four-D code now includes the important noncoplanar scenario feature. Many problems that required excessive computer time can now be meaningfully simulated as steady-state noncoplanar problems with short run times.

Environmental monitoring report for Pantex Plant covering 1975

Description: During 1975 Pantex Plant conducted a monitoring program to determine the concentration of specific radioactive and non-radioactive species in the local environment. Although the plant activities involve the handling of significant quantities of uranium, plutonium and tritium, only small releases of uranium (depleted in the isotope /sup 235/U) and tritium occurred which could have affected the local environment. Monitoring data indicate that concentrations of these nuclides in the environment ar… more

Technical proposal: design and fabrication of a superalloy BIPS workhorse loop and technical assessment of an optimized superalloy flight system

Description: An add-on program is proposed to the existing Brayton Isotope Power System (BIPS) Contract E(04-3)-1123. The proposed program includes the design and fabrication of a superalloy BIPS ''workhorse'' loop and the technical assessment of an optimized superalloy flight system (FS).

Preliminary design calculations for a field-reversed mirror reactor

Description: The field-reversed-mirror (FRM) is a plasma-confinement scheme that uses the diamagnetic current of the deuterium-tritium (D-T) fuel plasma to convert the open-field pattern of a conventional mirror machine into a closed-field pattern that should have considerably improved plasma-confinement properties. If realized, this improvement in confinement will considerably improve the energy gain of the mirror reactor and will reduce the cost of producing energy. The FRM device is described and compare… more

Flow-regime characterization for horizontal two-phase steam flow

Description: A relatively simple model, using Baker parameters, is described and applied to flow-regime data generated by high speed photography of two-phase steam flow. The experiments were conducted at the Geothermal Test Facility (GTF) at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. Although results depend somewhat on the personal judgment and interpretation of the observer, the model was found to give a reasonable prediction of the flow regime for the flow ranges available in 1- and 2-in.-diam pipes.
