AN INTEGRATED RELAP5-3D AND MUTLIPHASE CFD CODE SYSTEM UTILIZING A SEMI-implicit coupling technique

Description: An integrated code system consisting of RELAP5-3D and a multiphase CFD program has been created through the use of a generic semi-implicit coupling algorithm. Unlike previous CFD coupling work, this coupling scheme is numerically stable provided the material Courant limit is not violated in RELAP5-3D or at the coupling locations. The basis for the coupling scheme and details regarding the unique features associated with the application of this technique to a four-field CFD program are presented… more

Use of Optically Stimulated Luminescence Imaging Plates and Reader for Arms Control Applications

Description: Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) technology has been pioneered at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) for applications in personnel radiation dosimetry and commercially has become highly successful in replacing older technologies such as Thermoluminescence Dosimeters (TLDs) and film. OSL phosphors are used to measure radiation exposure by illuminating them with light after ionizing radiation exposure and measuring the amount of light emitted by the OSL phosphor. By using a t… more

NIF PEPC LRU Test Stand Safety Note Addendum

Description: It is necessary that the NIF PEPC LRU Test Stand be modified to accommodate a new experiment. This modification will involve boring two 1/2 inch holes in the Center Loaded Upper Beam of the stand. These holes will allow a small wire to pass through half of the length of one of the long sections of 80/20 part 3030. The holes could adversely effect the load-bearing capabilities of an important structural member of the stand so calculations must be done to assure a minimal risk of part failure.

Development of Components for Wavelength Division Multiplexing Over Parallel Optical Interconnects

Description: Parallel optical interconnects based on multimode fiber ribbon cables are emerging as a robust, high-performance data link technology that enhances throughput by using parallel arrays of fibers. While this technology has primarily been implemented as single wavelength point-to-point links, it can be significantly enhanced by wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). WDM enables both increased point-to-point bandwidth as well as more complex interconnect topologies and routing approaches that are … more

Deterrence and National Security in the Face of an Amorphous Threat

Description: The National Security threats that we face today and, in turn, the National Security . requirements, are more diverse and complex than they were during the Cold-War from 1945-1990. During that period, and bolstered by the experiences of World Wars I and II, US National Security policy was focused on the stabilization of post WW II country boundaries and containment of the Soviet block and China. The result was the bipolar world in which the nuclear and conventional forces of the United States, … more

Selection of Sampling Pumps Used for Groundwater Monitoring at the Hanford Site

Description: The variable frequency drive centrifugal submersible pump, Redi-Flo2a made by Grundfosa, was selected for universal application for Hanford Site groundwater monitoring. Specifications for the selected pump and five other pumps were evaluated against current and future Hanford groundwater monitoring performance requirements, and the Redi-Flo2 was selected as the most versatile and applicable for the range of monitoring conditions. The Redi-Flo2 pump distinguished itself from the other pumps cons… more

Technology Opportunities to Reduce U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Description: The rise in greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel combustion and industrial and agricultural activities has aroused international concern about the possible impacts of these emissions on climate. Greenhouse gases--mostly carbon dioxide, some methane, nitrous oxide and other trace gases--are emitted to the atmosphere, enhancing an effect in which heat reflected from the earth's surface is kept from escaping into space, as in a greenhouse. Thus, there is concern that the earth's surface tempe… more

Quadrupole Focussing and Quadrupole Steering Tolerances for the 8 GeV AP3-P1 Lattice

Description: This note will outline the sensitivity to emittance blowup of antiproton transfers due to quadrupole focussing and quadrupole steering errors in the 8 GeV AP3-P1 transfer line. It will be shown that these tolerances are much larger than the dipole steering tolerances discussed in PBAR Note 649. This note will use the lattice discussed in PBAR Note 648.

Secondary Uranium-Phase Paragenesis and Incorporation of Radionuclides into Secondary Phase

Description: The purpose of this analysis/model report (AMR) is to assess the potential for uranium (U) (VI) compounds, formed during the oxidative corrosion of spent uranium-oxide (UO{sub 2}) fuels, to sequester certain radionuclides and, thereby, limit their release. The ''unsaturated drip tests'' being conducted at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) provide the basis of this AMR (Table 1). The ANL drip tests on spent fuel are the only experiments on fuel corrosion from which solids have been analyzed for … more
