Data processing for the 1/5-scale Boiling Water Reactor Mark I pressure suppression experiment

Description: A description is given of methods used for data reduction and post-processing of reduced data for the 1/5-scale Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) Mark I pressure suppression experiment. Output from approximately 200 transducers, recorded onto analog magnetic tape, were reduced to engineering quantities with an analog-to-digital, COBOL-like conversion code. The reduced data were analyzed with conversational FORTRAN codes and mass-processed for reports with batch-processing FORTRAN codes.

Investigation and Evaluation of Geopressured-Geothermal Wells; Detailed Reentry Prognosis for Geopressure-Geothermal Testing of The Watkins-Miller No. 1 Well, Cameron Parish, Louisiana

Description: This Gruy Federal Type II-B prospect was drilled as the Superior Oil Company No. 1 Watkins-Miller, API designation 17-023-20501 and is located in Section 5, T15S, R5W, Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The well site is just north of lot 39 on Indian Point Island and is readily accessible from state highway Route 82 and a shell road in good condition. Superior Oil completed this well in late 1970 as a dual gas producer in sands between 11,150 and 11,250 feet but eventually abandoned the well in Decembe… more

Quasi-static strength and creep deformational characteristics of bedded salt from the Carey mine near Lyons, Kansas

Description: This report presents the results of a laboratory effort which was undertaken to determine mechanical properties of salt from Lyons, Kansas. Another goal of the experimental work was to define testing procedures, calibrations and data reduction during the process of generating strength data. Mechanical properties such as modulus of deformation and principal strain ratio were incorporated into simulations of Project Salt Vault using finite element methods. Deformational behavior of Lyons salt sub… more

Requirement definition for High-Temperature Line Focus (HTLF) Solar Large Power System. Phase I

Description: The design requirements, subsystem characteristics, environmental requirements, and cost and performance evaluation techniques are defined for the HTLF Large Solar Power System. The system is described as consisting of an array of linear focusing heliostats focusing on tower-mounted linear receivers. Heat transfer is by water/steam, and sensible heat storage is in oil/rock.

Waste pipe calculus

Description: A rapid method is presented for calculating transport in a network of one-dimensional flow paths or ''pipes''. The method defines a Green's function for each flow path and prescribes a method of combining these Green's functions to produce an overall Green's function for the flow path network. A unique feature of the method is the use of the Laplace transform of these Green's functions to carry out most of the calculations.

Characterization of operating conditions for gas/water heat recovery steam generators

Description: The possible operating points of air/water and helium/water steam generators are parametrically presented. Calculation procedures and a sample computer program listing are provided. Multiple saturated steam conditions are shown to be attainable with the same gas inlet and exit temperatures. Design considerations of heat transfer surface area and pumping requirements are also discussed.

Conceptual design of a heavy ion fusion energy center

Description: A Heavy Ion Accelerator system is described which is based upon existing technology, and which is capable of producing 150 MW of average beam power in 10 MJ, 200 TW bursts, 15 times per second. It consists of an rf linac which accelerates doubly ionized uranium ions to an energy of 20 GeV. Then by utilizing the well known procedure of multiturn injection, a 6.6 ms long burst of linac current is stored in 8 separate ''accumulator'' rings. At the conclusion of the filling proc… more

LOFT CIS analysis 1/2''-PCS-6-VA outside penetration S-5B

Description: Line /sup 1///sub 2/''-PCS-6-VA outside the LOFT containment penetration S-5B was analyzed to ASME Code, Subsection NC (Class 2) criteria. This piping is part of the Containment Isolation System. The model considered the piping from the penetration through one isolation valve and to the first wall through which the line passes. Results of this anlysis show that this section of the line will meet Class 2 requirements without modification.

Building and community systems resource-allocation model. Final report

Description: The paper discusses development of a resource allocation methodology for the BCS group to determine which energy conservation projects to fund if it is not possible to support all candidate programs and to determine how many projects to fund in one area to maintain minimal duplication. The current status of the methodology is presented. Section II deals with the technique used to evaluate a single portfolio. Section III describes the algorithm used to select the portfolios for evaluation. The s… more

Barstow isolation and meteorological data base

Description: A data base containing insolation and meteorological parameters at 15 minute intervals for the entire year of 1976 at Barstow, California has been prepared on computer compatible magnetic tape. The observed insolation values obtained by the Southern California Edison Company and meteorological values obtained by the Federal Aviation Agency which form the data base have been carefully checked for internal consistency. The data tape is written in a modified form of the SOLMET format and is availa… more

Image displacement effect in linear induction accelerators

Description: A beam of relativistic particles moving inside a conducting pipe of circular cross-section is displaced from the axis of the pipe. The presence of a discontinuity in the pipe (e.g., an accelerating gap) will cause a redistribution of the image charges and currents, and a net transverse force is experienced by beam particles as they transverse the gap. This force is calculated in the static limit for the particular geometry of 3 cm wide gaps spaced 30 cm apart in a pipe of radius 7.5 cm.

Proposed format and content of environmental reports for deep geologic terminal repositories for radioactive material

Description: As the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has not yet issued a format guide for the preparation of an environmental impact statement for radioactive waste repositories, Rockwell Hanford operations has developed an annotated outline which will serve as the basis for the environmental evaluation activities until replaced by an appropriate NRC regulatory guide. According to the outline, the applicant should summarize the major environmental effects that are expected to occur during the construction, op… more

Method for estimating the inventory of an isotope separation cascade by the use of minor isotope transient concentration data

Description: An indirect method for estimating the inventory of a uranium enrichment cascade which presumably can be performed by the International Atomic Energy Agency within the Non-Proliferation Treaty limitations on its safeguards activities was devised and tested at the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant (ORGDP). This method involves the feeding of a cascade with uranium that is significantly richer in one component than the normal cascade feed for a short period of time, and the measurement of the subs… more
