Summary of mirror experiments relevant to beam-plasma neutron source

Description: A promising design for a deuterium-tritium (DT) neutron source is based on the injection of neutral beams into a dense, warm plasma column. Its purpose is to test materials for possible use in fusion reactors. A series of designs have evolved, from a 4-T version to an 8-T version. Intense fluxes of 5--10 MW/m/sup 2/ is achieved at the plasma surface, sufficient to complete end-of-life tests in one to two years. In this report, we review data from earlier mirror experiments that are relevant to … more

Sorption properties of carbon-14 on Savannah River Plant soil

Description: Batch experiments performed using {sup 14}C, Savannah River Plant (SRP) soil, and SRP burial ground groundwater indicate that the distribution coefficient, or K{sub d}, for {sup 14}C in the form of carbonates is typically 2 ml/g after 7 hours of equilibration and 55 ml/g after 72 hours. These results were obtained for samples containing {sup 14}C concentrations ranging from 4.2 nCi/ml up to 40.9 nCi/ml. For comparison the concentration of {sup 14}C in the sump leachate of the defense waste lysi… more

Nonlinear dynamics of the electron self-field interaction

Description: There has been recent interest in the formulation of a nonperturbative theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED). In this report we critically discuss a recent theory of nonperturbative QED. We point out a difficulty with this theory and outline a theory which is free of this difficulty. Finally, computational schemes for implementing the theory are briefly discussed.

Comparison of muon flux measurements to Halo Monte Carlo predictions

Description: Experiment E-782 has been approved to run during the next fixed target cycle in a fast-spill muon beam aimed at the Tohoku bubble chamber, located in Lab F. New construction is necessary to provide this beam. Initial feasibility tests were carried out during the last fixed target run, measuring both muon fluxes and background halo rates, as a function of several parameters. These test results are compared in detail with the predictions of the Monte Carlo program HALO, and can be used as a bench… more

MFH Strap Design

Description: In the end calorimeter of the D-zero experiment, uranium and stainless steel plates are assembled into modules which are to be installed into the cryostat as individual units. A single inner module will be surrounded by sixteen middle modules, which are surrounded by sixteen outer modules. The earlier design of the support structure of each middle hadronic module of the end calorimeter consisted of a stainless steel skin 'wrapped' around the plates. Recently, it became clear that a system of st… more

Electric power wheeling and dealing: technological considerations for increasing competition: volume II--contractor documents, part B.

Description: This report discusses the temporal and economic factors of electric utilities in United States that make transmission constrains vary with time, and material specific to the individual cases. A particular focus of the investigation was the degree to which the transmission system would limit, or be affected by, the various scenarios.

Abortion: Legislative Control

Description: In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Constitution protects a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy (Roe v. Wade), and that a State may not unduly burden the exercise of that fundamental right by regulations that prohibit or substantially limit access to the means of effectuating that decision (Doe v. Bolton). However, the issue of a woman's right to an abortion is far from settled. This report discusses the various legislative actions undertaken since 1973 to eithe… more
