Estimating energy impacts of residential and commercial building development. A manual for the Pacific Northwest and Alaska

Description: This energy-impact manual presents information on energy implications of new building design and operation, providing a reasonably accurate means of assessing the total energy impact of new construction in the commercial and residential sectors. While developed specifically for the states of Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, much of the data used are national averages; the procedures described are applicable to other regions of the nation, with appropriate adjustments for climatic differen… more

VISAR analysis at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory with the four-detector system

Description: A detailed description is presented of the analysis of velocity-vs-time data taken with LLL's four-phototube VISAR system. Separate sections deal with a general analysis of on-axis rays when only one frequency of reflected laser light is present, a simplified analysis where two distinct frequencies are present and the rays are still on axis, and a discussion of the effects of off-axis rays. The description is given in such a manner that a VISAR user could employ the formulae in this report to d… more

Impact of petroleum industry horizontal divestiture on the coal market. [Proposed for consideration by Congress]

Description: The US Congress has set forth proposals which would prohibit oil companies from acquiring coal companies or other non-petroleum energy resources. Some proposals would require oil companies to divest themselves of any such resources that they already hold. The first legislation was introduced on this topic in the 94th Congress and alternative proposals are under serious consideration at the current time. We have analyzed some major variants of these legislative propsals with a study of likely ec… more

Design and fabrication of a low cost Darrieus vertical axis wing turbine system. Phase I. Technical report

Description: The contract has two phases, a design phase and a fabrication and installation phase. Presented is the work completed in Phase I, the design phase. The Sandia 17 m was used as the background machine from which design information was drawn. By concentrating the modifications on an existing design, emphasis was focused on component cost reduction rather than selection of optimal configuration or operating modes. The resulting design is a stretched version of the Sandia 17 m preserving the same ro… more

Evaluation, design, development and delivery of a 1200 kV prototype termination. First technical progress report, September 28, 1978-January 31, 1979

Description: The conceptual design and material study, Task 1 of this project is nearing completion. The primary objective of problem definition, in the form of a preliminary design specification, is complete. Several innovative concepts are being explored and compared. By the end of Task 1, the many alternative concepts will be narrowed considerably so that model studies of the most promising candidates may commence.

Feasibility study for Boardman River hydroelectric power. Final report

Description: The feasibility of generating additional hydroelectric power from five consecutive existing dams located on the Boardman River in Grand Traverse County and Traverse City, Michigan, was investigated. The potential hydropower production capabilities, in terms of base load power and peak load power, the legal-institutional-environmental constraints, and the economic feasibility, including capital investment, operating costs and maintenance costs, were evaluated for each of the five dam sites indiv… more

Mathematical models for the RINGBEARER simulation code

Description: RINGBEARER is a particle simulation code for modelling an electron beam propagating in a gas characterized by a space and time varying conductivity generated by the beam. The code has two spatial dimensions, the beam is assumed to be axially symmetric. Equations for the beam driven pinch field, the plasma density, and the conductivity are given along with the appropriate initial conditions and boundary conditions. The equations governing particle energy loss, transverse motion, and scattering, … more

One and one-half dimensional model of the EBT reactor

Description: A one-dimensional, time-dependent model is described for plasma particle and energy transport and alpha particle transport coupled with magnetic field evolution in a geometry appropriate to EBT. The transport equations used are derived from exact moments of the Boltzmann equation, and the magnetic field is calculated from Faraday's and Ampere's laws. The set of transport equations is closed by incorporating into them transport coefficiencents derived from the appropriate kinetic equation. Also … more

Mechanical behavior of 304 LN weldments

Description: Mechanical properties of various weld configurations for 304 LN stainless steel are reported. The results include Charpy V-notch, tensile, and fracture toughness data. The determinations were made at temperatures of 300, 77, and 4.2/sup 0/K. Each of the three types of mechanical evaluations are treated separately.

Corrosion Considerations in the Use of Boral in Spent Fuel Storage Pool Racks

Description: Boral is a cermet of Boron Carbide 'B{sub 4}C' in aluminum clad in aluminum. It is manufactured in rolled sheets using techniques similar to those used in the production of uranium aluminum fuel elements. The core of the standard Boral contains 35% boron carbide by weight. Cladding material is typical 1100 aluminum. Where it is exposed to water in service, the edges of the Boral are recommended by the manufacturer to be clad with aluminum by welding. In Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) racks, the Boral is… more

Oxide particle size distribution from shearing irradiated and unirradiated LWR fuels in Zircaloy and stainless steel cladding: significance for risk assessment

Description: Sieve fractionation was performed with oxide particles dislodged during shearing of unirradiated or irradiated fuel bundles or single rods of UO/sub 2/ or 96 to 97% ThO/sub 2/--3 to 4% UO/sub 2/. Analyses of these data by nonlinear least-squares techniques demonstrated that the particle size distribution is lognormal. Variables involved in the numerical analyses include lognormal median size, lognormal standard deviation, and shear cut length. Sieve-fractionation data are presented for unirradi… more

Summary of mechanical properties for JBK-75 forgings

Description: Increased strengths can be achieved in precipitation-hardened stainless steels by deforming the steel and retaining a worked structure prior to aging. JBK-75 is one example of a superalloy which will respond to this type of thermomechanical processing. The present study was undertaken to determine the tensile properties of different forged shapes resulting from the combined effects of strain hardening and precipitation hardening. Various size bar stock was deformed by High Energy Rate Forging (… more
