Preliminary report on Battelle Northwest Liquid Level Probes (LLP)

Description: The Battelle Northwest Liquid Level Probe was evaluated for possible use in the LOFT Blowdown Suppression Tank. The results from the test indicate that the probe will measure the liquid level to +-/sup 1///sub 4/ inch, over a range of 50 inches. The next step is to test the functionability of the probe under simulated LOFT-Blowdown Suppression Tank operating conditions.

Systematics of neutron-induced fission cross sections over the energy range 0. 1 through 15 MeV, and at 0. 0253 eV

Description: Recent studies have shown straightforward systematic behavior as a function of constant proton and neutron number for neutron-induced fission cross sections of the actinide elements in the incident-neutron energy range 3 to 5 MeV. In this report, the second in a series, fission cross-section values are studied over the MeV incident-neutron energy range, and at 0.0253 eV. Fission-barrier heights and neutron-binding energies are correlated by constant proton and neutron number; however, these sys… more

Critical Vacancy-Driven Phenomena in High-Energy Ion-Implanted Silicon

Description: High-energy (MeV) ion implantation is now being rapidly introduced into integrated circuit manufacturing because it promises process simplification and improved device performance. However, high-energy implantation introduces an imbalance of excess vacancies and vacancy-cluster defects in the near-surface region of a silicon crystal. These defects interact with dopants affecting diffusion and electrical activation during subsequent processing. The objective of this project was to develop suffic… more

Assessment of the application of the sputtering process to beryllium for hardening optical coatings

Description: Two principal deposition processes are compared for the case of depositing 1 to 2 ..mu..m beryllium on fused-silica substrates. While the evaporation-deposition process offers advantages such as higher deposition rate, purification of the evaporant and efficient use of masks, the sputter-deposition is more versatile, and therefore more effective, in varying and controlling the microstructure of the deposits. The versatility comes about because the latter process has five major operational param… more

Fraunhofer Diffraction Pattern Produced by a Slit of Varying Width and its Application to High Speed Cameras

Description: Abstract: "A theoretical and experimental investigation is made of the diffraction pattern produced by a slit, whose aperture varies uniformly from a constant value A to zero. The results of this investigation are applied to a proposed high speed camera. It is shown that diffraction effects are very serious and cannot be neglected. It seems, unless the suggested design of this high speed camera is changed, the camera will be of little use for accurate measurements, and photographs will show too… more

Positron acceleration to 200 MeV

Description: 220 MeV is the energy that has to be obtained in routine operation. A standard 12m girder with SLED II can give 220 MeV minus a few percent due to not riding at the crest of the wave. In order to have the 200 MeV with only one girder, a klystron at full power all the time would be required - kept brand new. Then, for safety it is necessary to use two klystrons as designated in the SLC design. Having two klystrons gives freedom for the choice of the best arrangement. Since there will be excess r… more

Experience with anthracite - sand filters

Description: The General Electric Company operates eight large filter plants for the Atomic Energy Commission at the Hanford works in the state of Washington. Because of the importance of water to the process, research and development on water treatment has been an important part of the overall Hanford research and development program. The research and development on water treatment has resulted in important capital and operating savings and in the production of better quality water. It is the purpose of th… more

Instructions for borehole sampling

Description: Geologic systems generally are complex with physical properties and trends that can be difficult to predict. Subsurface geology exerts a fundamental control on groundwater flow and contaminant transport. The primary source for direct observation of subsurface geologic information is a borehole. However, direct observations from a borehole essentially are limited to the diameter and spacing of boreholes and the quality of the information derived from the drilling. Because it is impractical to dr… more

The single electron chemistry of coals. Quarterly report, July 1--September 30, 1992

Description: Depolymerization of coals at low temperatures may offer advantages over thermal bond cleavage. Because bond cleavage energies of radical cations are lower than the corresponding homolytic bond cleavage energies of the same bond, generation of radical cations in coal may make possible depolymerization at lower temperatures. We seek to investigate the above possibility using single molecules containing functional groups common in coals. Since the generation of a radical cation requires the remova… more

Preliminary survey, Reactor formation of rhenium-tungsten alloy

Description: This document considers the costs of rhenium formation as produced by irradiating tungsten. Two isotopic compositions of tungsten are considered for the study. The cost for reactor-formed rhenium appears to be prohibitively high -- over $20 per gram. This cost would exist for tungsten containing 90% 186, 9, 184, and 1% tungsten 182 and 183. The cost of alloy made fro natural isotopic compositions of tungsten would be higher by a factor of 3, and would take prohibitively long to produce signific… more

The two types of target elements assumed were: (a) tungsten containing 90 a/o tungsten-186, 9 a/o tungsten-184 and 1 a/o tungsten-183 and 182, and (b) tungsten of natural isotopic composition.

Corrosion test of irradiated uranium in monoisopropylbiphenyl (RM-171)

Description: The use of organic cooling media for nuclear reactors operating at high power levels predicates the use of a coolant which will not react violently with metallic uranium in the event of a fuel element failure. This report describes the testing, and subsequent examination, of two pieces of irradiated uranium which were immersed in monoisopropylbiphenyl (MIPB) at high temperatures and pressures for periods of time up to twenty-five days. The uranium samples had different irradiation histories and… more

Fringe isotope production

Description: The purpose of this work has been to determine the production rate of tritium in fringe Li-Al alloy columns with the degree of precision necessary for economic analyses of such reactor loadings. These results are provided for use in such an analysis. This experiment indicates the production rate of tritium in the outermost fringe tubes to be T = 0.0216 M{sub E} = 0.175 M{sub t} where T = grams of tritium per full length (67 pieces) charge of Li-Al alloy material; M{sub E} = MWD/adjacent ton of … more
