Geophysical investigation of 216-U-8 clay vitrified pipe transfer line, 200 West Area

Description: Two geophysical surveys were conducted over a vitrified clay pipeline (VCP) that was used to transfer liquid radioactive waste from the 224-U Building to the 216-U-8 and 216-U-12 cribs. The objectives of the surveys were to locate the VCP in the northern site, locate the bends in the VCP in the southern site, and locate possible utilities or pipelines at both sites. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) was the method chosen for the surveys. Electromagnetic induction (EMI) was also used at the souther… more

Integrated formal operations plan

Description: The concept of formal operations (that is, a collection of business practices to assure effective, accountable operations) has vexed the Laboratory for many years. To date most attempts at developing such programs have been based upon rigid, compliance-based interpretations of a veritable mountain of Department of Energy (DOE) orders, directives, notices, and standards. These DOE dictates seldom take the broad view but focus on highly specialized programs isolated from the overall context of fo… more

Refining of fossil resin flotation concentrate from Western coal. Fourth quarterly final report, October 1, 1993--December 31, 1993

Description: Four resinite types, namely yellow, amber, light-brown, and dark-brown in color, occurring in the Wasatch Plateau coal field, are mainly composed of aliphatic components. In contrast coal consists primarily of aromatic ring structures, various oxygen functional groups ({minus}OH, >C=O, {minus}C{minus}O) and few aliphatic chains. The color difference observed among the four hand-sorted resin types is explained by the presence of chromophores (O, S, and N atoms and C=C double bonds) and also by t… more

Multi-unit inertial fusion plants based on HYLIFE-II, with shared heavy-ion RIA driver and target factory, producing electricity and hydrogen fuel

Description: Following is a modification of the IFEFUEL systems code, called IFEFUEL2, to treat specifically the HYLIFE-II target chamber concept. The same improved Recirculating Induction Accelerator (RIA) energy scaling model developed recently by Bieri is used in this survey of the economics of multi-unit IFE plants producing both electricity and hydrogen fuel. Reference cases will assume conventional HI-indirect target gains for a 2 mm spot, and improved HYLIFE-II BoP models as per Hoffman. Credits for … more

S Tank Farm SL-119 saltwell piping failure analysis report

Description: On January 24, 1992, while pressure testing saltwell line SL-119 in the 241-S Tank Farm, water was observed spraying out of heat trace enclosure. The SL-115, SL-116, SN-215, and SN-216 saltwell lines also recently failed pressure testing because of leaks. This study documents the pertinent facts about the SL-119 line and discusses the cause of the failures. The inspection of the SL-119 failure revealed two through-the-wall holes in the top center of the pipeline. The inspection also strongly su… more

Test plan for core sampling drill bit temperature monitor

Description: At WHC, one of the functions of the Tank Waste Remediation System division is sampling waste tanks to characterize their contents. The push-mode core sampling truck is currently used to take samples of liquid and sludge. Sampling of tanks containing hard salt cake is to be performed with the rotary-mode core sampling system, consisting of the core sample truck, mobile exhauster unit, and ancillary subsystems. When drilling through the salt cake material, friction and heat can be generated in th… more

The human DNA-activated protein kinase, DNA-PK: Substrate specificity

Description: Although much has been learned about the structure and function of p53 and the probable sequence of subsequent events that lead to cell cycle arrest, little is known about how DNA damage is detected and the nature of the signal that is generated by DNA damage. Circumstantial evidence suggests that protein kinases may be involved. In vitro, human DNA-PK phosphorylates a variety of nuclear DNA-binding, regulatory proteins including the tumor suppressor protein p53, the single-stranded DNA binding… more

ASPEN computer simulations of the mixed waste treatment project baseline flowsheet

Description: The treatment and disposal of mixed waste (i.e., waste containing both hazardous and radioactive components) is a challenging waste- management problem of particular concern to Department of Energy (DOE) sites throughout the United States. Traditional technologies used for destroying hazardous wastes must be re- evaluated for their ability to handle mixed wastes, and, in some cases, new technologies must be developed. The Mixed Waste Treatment Project (MWTP), a collaborative effort between Lawr… more
