Neutron yield measurements on a TMX endplug

Description: Neutron yield measurements were made on the east endplug of TMX using a calibrated recoil proton counter. The detector consists of a liquid scintillator (NE 213) with a pulse shape discrimination property that allows for identifying photon and neutron interactions. An energy threshold is established to suppress the response to scattered neutrons with energies lower than 1 to 2 MeV. Results indicate there are typical neutron yields of 2 to 3 x 10/sup 11/ n/s during a 25-ms discharge with 200 A o… more

Effect of re-heating on the hot electron temperature

Description: Resonant absorption is the direct conversion of the transverse laser light to longitudinal electron plasma waves (epw) at the critical density (10/sup 21/ (1.06 ..mu..m/lambda/sub 0/)/sup 2/ cm/sup -3/). The oscillating longitudinal electric field of the epw heats the electrons by accelerating them down the density gradient to a temperature of approximately 21T/sub e//sup 0/ /sup 25/ ((I(W/cm/sup 2/)/10/sup 16/)(lambda/sub 0//1.06 ..mu..m)/sup 2/)/sup 0/ /sup 4/. This section extends the previo… more

Safety Analysis (SA) of the decontamination facility, Building 419, at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Description: This safety analysis was performed for the Manager, Plant Services at LLNL 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 maximum quantities of radioactive materials that safety procedures allow to be handled in this building do not pose undue risks on- or off-site even in postulated severe accidents. Risk from the various hazard… more

Energy Emergency Management Information System (EEMIS): functional requirements

Description: This report deals with the functional requirements of the Energy Emergency Management Information System (EEMIS) as it is defined for State level use (EEMIS-S). This report provides a technical description of the EEMIS-S requirements. These guidelines state that in order to create the widest practicable competition the system's requirements, with few exceptions, must be expressed in functional terms without reference to specific hardware or software products, and that wherever exceptions a… more

Torbett-Hutchings-Smith Memorial Hospital geothermal-system demonstration at Marlin, Texas. Final design report

Description: The final design and economics of the Torbett-Hutchings-Smith (THS) Memorial Hospital geothermal heating system at Marlin, Texas are outlined. A brief description of the existing heating system, an overview of the geothermal retrofit, and the results of an economic analysis are included. It is estimated that the geothermal heating system will displace approximately 84 percent of the hospital's average annual natural gas consumption. In summer conditions, approximately 45 gpm of geothermal fluid… more

Preparation history and analytical results for synroc powders: hollandite (SO3), nepheline (SO8), and synroc C (SO4, SO5, SO6, SO9)

Description: In this paper, the calculated compositions for three categories of SYNROC powders are recorded and the process by which the powder mixtures are prepared prior to the final hot-pressing step for densification and mineralization is described. The three categories of SYNROC compositions described are: (I) Single phase, which includes the minerals hollandite (SO3) and nepheline (SO8)) (used for cesium leach-rate comparisons in support of our SYNROC D program); (II) SYNROC C three-phase minerals (SO… more
