D0 Silicon Upgrade: End Calorimeter Transfer Bridge Modification

Description: During the assembly of major components into the D0 Detector, a transfer bridge was required to move the North-End Calorimeter from the clean room,over the cable bridge and onto the north sidewalk of the assembly hall. This experiment is now at the beginning stages of the next phase, namely the upgrade of this Detector for future physics research. A major piece of this upgrade is the installation of a solenoid magnet into the Central Calorimeter. In order to accomplish this, the South End Calor… more

FY94 and FY95 thermal stabilization campaign report

Description: The report provides a synopsis of the FY94/95 Thermal Stabilization Campaign. The FY94 Thermal Stabilization Campaign ran from November 1, 1994 to June 13, 1995 and stabilized 236 items (22 kg) of reactive plutonium bearing material. A total of 49 cans of stabilized material was moved to the vaults for interim storage. While the initial downtime was high, with an Operating Efficiency (OE) of 27% over the first 3 months, the OE improved to 78% during the last 5 months for an overall DE of 58%. T… more

Pressure fluctuations as a diagnostic tool for fluidized beds. Technical progress report, July 1, 1996--September 30, 1996

Description: By studying pressure fluctuations using a system identification approach, it is hypothesized that circulating fluidized bed (CFB) pressure fluctuations are indicative of CFB hydrodynamics in two ways. First, the frequency phenomenon that is observed in the lower regions of the CFB under conditions of high solids loading is the result of lower dense bed voidage oscillations. Our results suggest that a surface wave phenomena inversely proportional to the square root of the bed diameter is also be… more

Pressure fluctuations as a diagnostic tool for fluidized beds. Technical progress report, April 1--June 30, 1996

Description: The pressure fluctuations in the transition regime between bubbling fluidization and fast fluidization were investigated using system identification techniques. The results show that the voidage waves and surface eruption effects seen in bubbling fluidized beds are also observed in the transition regime fluctuations. In addition, a third frequency phenomenon is observed in the spectrum which is hypothesized to be a surface wave phenomenon analogous to surface waves in water. The validity of pre… more

Extension of Studies with 3M Empore TM and Selentec MAG *SEP SM Technologies for Improved Radionuclide Field Sampling

Description: The Savannah River Technology Center is evaluating new field sampling methodologies to more easily determine concentrations of radionuclides in aqueous systems. One methodology studied makes use of 3M EmporeTM disks. The disks are composed of selective resins embedded in a Teflon support. The disks remove the ion of interest from aqueous solutions when the solution is passed through the disk. The disk can then be counted directly to quantify the isotope of interest. Four types of disks were stu… more

West Hackberry Tertiary Project. Quarterly technical progress report, January 1, 1996--March 31, 1996

Description: The goal of the West Hackberry Tertiary Project is to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of combining air injection with the Double Displacement Process for tertiary oil recovery. The Double Displacement Process is the gas displacement of a water invaded oil column for the purpose of recovering oil through gravity drainage. The novel aspect of this project is the use of air as the injection fluid. The target reservoir for the project is the Camerina C-1,2,3 sand located on the W… more

Hydrogen anode for nitrate waste destruction. Revision 2

Description: Large quantities of radioactive and hazardous wastes have been generated from nuclear materials production during the past fifty years. Processes are under evaluation to separate the high level radioactive species from the waste and store them permanently in the form of durable solids.
