Development of ultrafiltration and inorganic adsorbents for reducing volumes of low-level and intermediate-level liquid waste: October--December 1977

Description: The exposures of noncellulosic ultrafiltration membranes to a radioactive environment simulating up to 24 months of exposure to a ..beta.. dose of 10 ..mu..Ci/cm/sup 3/, a ..gamma.. dose of 10/sup -5/ ..mu..Ci/cm/sup 3/, and an ..cap alpha.. dose of 4.9 x 10/sup -3/ ..mu..Ci/cm/sup 3/ were completed. Exposure to ..beta.. and ..gamma.. radiation did not affect membrane performance. After a simulated six months of exposure to ..cap alpha.. radiation some degradation of membrane performance occurr… more

Analysis of LOFT containment nozzles 11A, 11B, 11D, 12A, 13B, 13C, and 13D by Bijlaard method

Description: The purpose of this analysis was the calculation of stresses in the LOFT Containment Vessel at the point of nozzle penetration produced by loads on the nozzles and to show that those stresses are within the 1965 ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code allowables. The stress determination was done by the method developed by P. P. Bijlaard on the worst load case for each diameter nozzle. The operating basis earthquake (OBE) at nozzle 11D produced the most severe load case. All load cases resulted in… more

Normal incident solar radiation measurements at Upton, New York

Description: Normal incident solar energy measurements made at Upton, L.I., New York are reported and analyzed relative to the total energy received on a horizontal surface. A new method for computing normal incident solar radiation is developed and used to study long term variations in this energy source at Upton and to estimate average values for other east coast locations.

Preliminary archaeological survey of proposed gas well locations in Green Township (Scioto County) and Elizabeth Township (Lawrence County) Ohio

Description: The present archaeological survey and cultural resource assessment were conducted for the United States Department of Energy, Morgantown Energy Technology Center in areas to be disturbed by gas well drilling and holding pond construction. The project area is the Pine Creek drainage system, which is a tributary of the Ohio River in Scioto and Lawrence Counties, Ohio. The literature search indicated that prehistoric archaeological sites do occur and have been documented in the Pine Creek drainage… more

Material control system simulator user's manual

Description: This report describes the use of a Material Control System Simulator (MCSS) program for determination of material accounting uncertainty and system response to particular adversary action sequences that constitute plausible material diversion attempts. The program is intended for use in situations where randomness, uncertainty, or interaction of adversary actions and material control system components make it difficult to assess safeguards effectiveness against particular material diversion att… more

Simulated high-level waste-basalt interaction experiments. First interim progress report

Description: Reconnaissance experiments have shown that waste/basalt interactions are of real importance in understanding all aspects of total containment of radionuclides in a basalt repository. It has been shown that the reprocessed waste forms, calcine and glass, are relatively more reactive than the more crystalline waste forms, spent unreprocessed fuel (SURF) and supercalcine. These experiments have established the direction of future research. The remainder of the program will be concerned with longer… more

Improved optics for automatic stored-seam tracking on an electron-beam welder

Description: A commercial 7.5-kW electron-beam welder has been optically upgraded. The viewing system has been replaced by high-resolution optics (36 line pairs per millimeter (36l/mm) with video option. A high-intensity arc lamp provides illumination of the weld region. The upgraded optical system provides the capability for making accurate and repeatable welds with computer-automated seam tracking.

Dispersion of miscible fluids in porous media. Part 2

Description: Miscible-liquid displacements of water/ethanol solutions were conducted in a 2.54-cm-ID column packed with glass beads of 275 to 300 and 25 to 30 mesh with bed heights of 6.35 to 40.8 cm. The viscosity ratio of the resident fluid to displacing fluid was maintained at 0.72 for fluid pairs with favorable density differences. Dispersion coefficients obtained from a two-parameter model increased from approx.3 x 10/sup -5/ to approx.2 x 10/sup -2/ cm/sup 2//s with increasing packing particle size, f… more
