Radioactive air emissions notice of construction for phase 2 Spent Nuclear Fuel Canister Storage Building -- Project W-379

Description: The purpose of this Notice of Construction (NOC) is to provide a rewritten NOC for obtaining regulatory approval for changes to the previous Canister Storage Building (CSB) NOCs (WDOH, 1996 and EPA, 1996) as were approved by the Washington State Department of Health (WDOH, 1996a) and US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, 1996a). These changes are because of a revised sealing configuration of the multi-canister overpacks (MCOS) that are used to store the SNF. A flow schematic of the SNF Proje… more

ESF Subsurface Standby Generator Analysis

Description: The purpose of this analysis is to outline and recommend two standby generator systems. These systems shall provide power during a utility outage to critical Alcove No.5's thermal test loads and to subsurface flow through ventilation loads. Critical loads that will be supported by these generator systems will be identified and evaluated. Additionally, other requirements from the Exploratory Studies Facilities Design Requirements (ESFDR) document will be evaluated. Finally, the standby generator… more

Characterization of Low-Energy (6-30 keV) Response of Polish TLDs (MTS-N, MCP-N) with Synchrotron Radiation and Determination of Some Fundamental TLD Quantities

Description: Relative to <sup>137</sup>Cs gamma rays, the response of MTS-N (<sup>Nat</sup>LiF:Mg,Ti-0.04 cm thick) increased from 0.4 to 1.4 between x-ray energies of 6 and 30 keV and that of MCP-N (<sup>Nat</sup>Lif:Mg, Cu, P-0.04 cm thick) increased from 0.02 to 1.2 between 6 and 26 keV. A mathematical model for TLD response was used with measured responses to determine overall TLD efficiency C(k) and efficiency relative to <sup>137</sup>Cs. The effective energy attenuation coefficient {mu}(k) and light … more

Hanford Contact-Handled Transuranic Drum Retrieval Project Planning Document

Description: The Hanford Site is one of several US Department of Energy (DOE) sites throughout the US that has generated and stored transuranic (TRU) wastes. The wastes were primarily placed in 55-gallon drums, stacked in trenches, and covered with soil. In 1970, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ordered that TRU wastes be segregated from other radioactive wastes and placed in retrievable storage until such time that the waste could be sent to a geologic repository and permanently disposed. Retrievable stor… more

Economic analyses of alpha channeling in tokamak power plants.

Description: The hot-ion-mode of operation [1] has long been thought to offer optimized performance for long-pulse or steady-state magnetic fusion power plants. This concept was revived in recent years when theoretical considerations suggested that nonthermal fusion alpha particles could be made to channel their power density preferentially to the fuel ions [2,3]. This so-called anomalous alpha particle slowing down can create plasmas with fuel ion temperate T{sub i} somewhat larger than the electron temper… more
