Safety Analysis (SA) of the Hazardous Waste Disposal Facilities (Buildings 514, 612, and 614) at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory

Description: This safety analysis was performed for the Manager of Plant Operations at LLL and fulfills the requirements of DOE Order 5481.1. The analysis was based on field inspections, document review, computer calculations, and extensive input from Waste Management personnel. It was concluded that the quantities of materials handled do not pose undue risks on- or off-site, even in postulated severe accidents. Risks from the various hazards at these facilities vary from low to moderate as specified in DOE… more

Process development for automated solar cell and module production. Task 4: automated array assembly. Quarterly report No. 3

Description: The objective of this program is to develop process and handling technology required to allow large volume, low cost terrestrial solar array production. Emphasis has been placed on module lay-up and interconnect and edge sealing. During this reporting period, progress has been directed toward automated interconnection and lay-up of solar modules using a Unimate model 2000B industrial robot. A study of interconnect bond methods lead to the decision that induction heating would be most applicable… more

Technical background paper for utility and performance relative to consumer-product energy-efficiency standards (for proposed energy-efficiency standards)

Description: This report summarizes an investigation of the relative utility and performance of nine major household consumer products covered by the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. The objective of the investigation was to define the terms utility and performance, to recommend methods for quantifying these two concepts, and to recommend an approach for dealing with utility and performance issues in the energy-efficiency-standards program. Performance of a consumer product is the objective measure of ho… more

Performance and operability study of the Raft River 5 MW(e) pilot geothermal power plant steady-state behavior

Description: Estimates of the steady-state performance of the Raft River 5 MW(e) Pilot Geothermal Power Plant have been made using an existing digital computer simulation which has been updated to reflect the individual performance of the actual components in the plant. The plant output (gross and net) has been obtained as a function of geothermal fluid inlet temperature and flow rate and isobutane preheater bypass (boiler inlet subcooling). The plant performance has been determined for two ambient conditio… more

LWRHU GTA Weld Development

Description: Nineteen LWRHU Development Welds have been made. Welds WD-1 through WD-4 were made early in the program to obtain preliminary joint design data. Welds WD-5 through WD-10 were made with the vertical leg of the shim located toward the closure end cap. A decision was made to locate the shim with the vertical leg on the fuel side of the capsule; therefore, the data obtained on the above capsule welds will not be included in this report. A tantalum pellet machined to the configuration of the fuel pe… more
