Technology assessment of geothermal energy resource development

Description: Geothermal state-of-the-art is described including geothermal resources, technology, and institutional, legal, and environmental considerations. The way geothermal energy may evolve in the United States is described; a series of plausible scenarios and the factors and policies which control the rate of growth of the resource are presented. The potential primary and higher order impacts of geothermal energy are explored, including effects on the economy and society, cities and dwellings, environ… more

Analysis of the potential use of geothermal energy for power generation along the Texas Gulf Coast

Description: Three forms of potential geothermal energy may exist in the State of Texas: hot rocks in the Trans Pecos region, convection type geothermal water in the Rio Grande Rift basin, and geopressured geothermal water along the Gulf Coast. Of these, only the geopressured waters have been verified. Exploration wells for oil and gas have established the presence of deep hot water deposits along the coastal area, offshore and inland for 75 miles. These exist in thick shale and sand beds in the geopressure… more

Research on high-energy storage for laser amplifiers. Final report, 16 January 1974--15 January 1975

Description: Research to find appropriate non-equilibrium storage media that can be efficiently pumped for high energy lasers is described. Four tasks in the research program are described: (1) Measure, as a function of wavelength, the quantum yield of O(/sup 1/S) production from N/sub 2/O photolysis between 1100 and 1500 A. (2) Measure the temperature dependence of O(/sup 1/S) deactivation by N/sub 2/O. (3) Measure the yield of efficient quenching agents for O(/sup 1/S) (such as NO) under the conditions of… more

Executive summary of the special safeguards study on material control and accounting systems. Final report. [Real-time systems]

Description: This report assesses the feasibility of real-time systems applied to mixed-oxide fuel rod fabrication. Their interaction with other material control and accounting measures are considered. Economics, effectiveness, and acceptance factors are discussed. A cost-benefit evaluation is made and recommendations given for safeguards improvements. (DLC)

Development plan for terminal liquor disposition alternatives. [Interim storage]

Description: Interim storage of terminal liquors in double-shell tanks is the only disposition process currently demonstrated and is expected to require 10 double-shell tanks. Other processes are being developed to provide alternatives for interim disposition of terminal liquor which may require the construction of fewer double-shell tanks. A preliminary selection of processes for further development will be made in December 1975 based upon compatibility with interim storage criteria, operability, suitabili… more

Characteristics of geothermal wells located in the Salton Sea geothermal field, Imperial County, California

Description: A summary is given of the geophysical, geochemical, and geothermal characteristics of wells located in the Salton Sea Geothermal Field. Based on the geothermal characteristics of the wells, a subsurface heat profile was developed for the entire geothermal field. Maps of temperature contours for specified depths throughout the field were also drawn.

Toxicology and metabolism of nickel compounds. Progress report, December 1, 1974--November 30, 1975. [97433ONE]

Description: The toxicology and metabolism of nickel compounds (NiCl/sub 2/, Ni/sub 3/S/sub 2/, NiS, and Ni powder) were investigated in rats and hamsters. The new knowledge has included: demonstration that hyperglucagonemia is primarily responsible for the acute hyperglycemic effect of parenteral Ni(II) in rats; demonstration that parenteral injection of Ni(II) in rats produces acute nephropathy with proteinuria and amino aciduria, and with ultrastructural lesions of renal glomeruli and tubules; confirmati… more

Characterization of the uranium--2.25 weight percent niobium alloy

Description: A study was made of the methods for preparing, processing, and heat treating uranium-2.25 wt percent niobium alloys. The rolling technique is critical, but the alloy responds to conventional solution treatment, water quenching, and aging to provide high strength with good ductility. Data on tensile tests and Charpy tests as functions of the temperature have been obtained. Elastic moduli, density, coefficient of thermal expansion, and differential thermal analysis data have also been determined.… more

Average properties of nuclear test areas and media at the USERDA Nevada Test Site

Description: Data have gradually been accumulated on the physical properties of nuclear test sites at the U. S. Energy Research and Development Administration (USERDA) Nevada Test Site (NTS) since underground testing began there in 1957. These data have been stored in the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL) K-Division Test Effects Data Bank. This report briefly describes the principal test areas Yucca Flat, Pahute Mesa, and Rainier Mesa) and media (alluvium, tuff, Climax Stock (granite) and Paleozoic rocks)… more

Experiment to Measure Deep Inelastic Electron Scattering on Hydrogen and Deuterium with Seperation of Nu(W)(2) and W(1) Nucleon Structure Functions, at the Highest Fermilab Energies and Q(2) Regions

Description: The authors propose to measure the inclusive deep inelastic electron-nucleon scattering cross sections on hydrogen and deuterium. Cross sections will be measured in the range of momentum transfers Q{sub min}{sup 2} = 0.160 (GeV/c){sup 2} and Q{sub max}{sup 2} = 160.0 (GeV/c){sup 2}, in the range of recoil hadronic mass squared of W{sub min}{sup 2} = 2 GeV{sup 2} and W{sub max}{sup 2} = 450 GeV{sup 2}. The electromagnetic structure functions, {nu}W{sub 2}(Q{sup 2},{nu}) and W{sub 1}(Q{sup 2},{nu… more
