Aerial Radiometric and Magnetic Survey of the Clovis National Topographic Map, NI 13-6, Texas and New Mexico: Volume 1

Description: From objective and plan: The airborne data gathered were reduced using ground-based computer facilities to give the basic uranium, thorium and potassium equivalent gamma radiation intensities, ratios of these intensities, aircraft altitude above the earth's surface, total gamma ray and earth's magnetic field intensity, correlated as a function of geologic units indicated from available geologic maps. Results of analyses of these field data are presented as profile plots of the gamma radiation a… more

Tritium effluent control project progress report, July--September 1975. [Tritiated liquid waste decontamination by molecular excitation, electrolysis of high-level tritiated water, and catalytic exchange detritiation studies]

Description: In the Tritiated Liquid Waste Decontamination (Molecular Excitation) program, it was found that a 1/4'' Nd:YAG amplifier and a Faraday rotator isolator must be added to the oscillator to obtain the required power for the laser excitation experiments. The isotopic selectivity of the two-photon dissociation process was examined in more detail. The selectivity or ratio of HTO to H/sub 2/O molecules that are photodissociated was found to be on the order of 25, which is inadequate for application to… more

Recommendations of the NNCSC-BNL study

Description: In 1975 the National Neutron Cross Section Center (NNCSC) at BNL was asked to carry out a study of the nuclear structure and charged-particle reaction data compilation and evaluation efforts in the U. S. with a view toward establishing at NNCSC responsibility for a fully coordinated effort involving measurers, compilers, evaluators, and users whose activities would result in the creation and maintenance of a master file for nuclear structure and charged-particle reaction data. A critique of thi… more

Radiochemical studies for the nuclear chemical mining of copper. [Nuclear explosive fracturing]

Description: Experiments were performed to study the long-term reactions of radioactive materials that would be produced in the nuclear chemical mining of chalcopyrite copper ore. These reactions were carried out in autoclaves for up to eight months at 2.76 MPa of oxygen and 363 K. Dissolving rates of radioactive glass in copper-leaching product solutions were determined by the gamma-counting of solution aliquots. The glass decomposition rate was linear at approximately 1 x 10/sup -10/ kg/s.m/sup 2/. A radi… more

Comparative study of aqueous and solvent methods for cleaning metals

Description: Studies were performed to determine the comparative effectiveness of solvent and aqueous detergent methods for cleaning various metals. The metals investigated included 304L stainless steel, beryllium, uranium-6.5 wt percent niobium alloy, and unalloyed uranium (/sup 238/U). The studies were initiated in response to governmental regulations restricting the use of some chlorinated solvents. Results showed that aqueous detergent cleaning was more effective than solvents, i.e. trichloroethylene an… more

Interactions of radionuclides in water, particulates, and oysters in the discharge canal of a nuclear power plant. [Humboldt Bay reactor]

Description: This study was designed to provide data for dynamic modeling of radioactive pollutants in marine ecosystems adjacent to nuclear power plants. The data are relevant to the dynamics of radionuclide transfer among seawater, suspended particulates, sediments, and biota. Gamma-emitting radionuclides (/sup 54/Mn, /sup 60/Co, /sup 65/Zn, and /sup 137/Cs) were followed in the water and particulates, as well as in oysters introduced into the discharge canal of the boiling water reactor of the Humboldt B… more

Depressurization accident analyses for the Fort St. Vrain Reactor

Description: Design-basis depressurization accident analyses for the Fort St. Vrain reactor were performed using the FLODIS (Ref. 4) code. The FLODIS code models the active core, side reflector, gas annulus between the core barrel and the PCRV liner, and the PCRV cooling system. Results are presented for the Pelton circulators operating at 10,550, 8800, and 7000 rpm. Maximum temperatures of selected components are plotted as a function of time during the transient. None of the components studied exceeded th… more

Nature of mercury-activated silver solid-state bonds

Description: A mercury-enhanced silver solid-state bond has produced reliable high strength joints in the bonding of Vascomax-250 (maraging steel). The joints are achieved by applying a uniform bond pressure across the mercury-activated silver-coated bonding surfaces at low temperatures. Mercury assists in making reproducible bonds by being an effective surface conditioner prior to bonding. The fractured surface morphology was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray analysis. 14… more

Characterization of the uranium--2 weight percent molybdenum alloy. [Treatment to obtain 930 MPa yield strength (0. 2 percent)]

Description: The uranium-2 wt percent molybdenum alloy was prepared, processed, and age hardened to meet a minimum 930-MPa yield strength (0.2 percent) with a minimum of 10 percent elongation. These mechanical properties were obtained with a carbon level up to 300 ppM in the alloy. The tensile-test ductility is lowered by the humidity of the laboratory atmosphere. (auth)

Direct doubler-main ring anti p p collisions

Description: An anti p beam is produced from source protons accelerated in the main ring and focused on a target. The anti p beam is captured and accelerated in the doubler, its bunch structure intact, and a proton beam is accelerated in the main ring. The luminosity resulting from the ensuing anti pp collisions is calculated.

HALTHANE polyol round robin test results

Description: A round robin chemical analysis of two halthane adhesive polyol cure agents for hydroxyl number, acid number, and water content has been conducted between analytical laboratories at LLL, Pantex, Bendix, and Union Carbide (Y-12). The reported data show sufficient scatter as to recommend that specific test procedures be called out. Different methods were used in the various labs, some with slight modifications, others were entirely different. Also, some ASTM procedures were misapplied and others … more

Prospective systems for laser separation of deuterium

Description: Bimolecular 4- and 6-center addition reactions into unsaturated hydrocarbons may be optically accelerated with 3 to 6 quanta provided by CO laser excitation of DBr or DCl or by DF laser excitation of HDO or DF. Unimolecular decomposition of HDCO occurs with high selectivity by a single uv photon. Multi-quantum CO/sub 2/ laser excitation can lead to 4-center molecular elimination from deuterated organic alcohols and acids.

Possibilities for controlling heavy metal sulfides in scale from geothermal brines

Description: Heavy metal sulfides form a substantial part of the scale solids depositing from high-temperature, high-saline geothermal brines. An assessment has been made of the prospects for controlling this deposition by chemical modification of the brine. An outline is given of the types of reactions influencing sulfide precipitation. It is suggested that two factors affecting sulfide solubility and that are amenable to chemical modification of the brine are oxidation state and pH. A partial oxidation pr… more

Measurement of the neutron-induced fission cross section of /sup 241/Am relative to /sup 235/U from 0. 001 to 30 MeV. [0. 2 to 30 MeV]

Description: The work described in this report represents a continuation of the fission cross section ratio measurements in progress at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. Preliminary results are provided for the /sup 241/Am//sup 235/U fission cross section ratio from 0.2 to 30 MeV. Upper limits on this ratio are given over broad energy bands from 0.001 to 0.2 MeV. Using the threshold cross section method, the value of 1.616 +- 0.042 is obtained for the cross section ratio in the interval 1.75 to 4.00 MeV.
