Graph-theoretic algorithm for hierarchial decomposition of dynamic systems

Description: A graph-theoretic scheme is proposed for partitioning of dynamic systems into hierarchially ordered subsystems having independent inputs and outputs. The resulting subsystems are input-output reachable as well as structurally controllable and observable, so that a piece-by-piece design of estimators and controllers can be accomplished for systems with large dimensions without excessive computer requirements.

Tritium permeation through characterized films on Type 304L stainless steel

Description: Rocky Flats is looking for an optimum method for surface treating 304L stainless steel to increase its resistance to tritium permeation. Selected surface treatments were applied to 304L samples. One set of samples was shipped to the Rockwell Corporate Science Center for alternate characterization analysis. Another set was sent to Los Alamos National Laboratory for tritium exposure and ion beam spectrographic analysis. The Science Center performed the following analyses: ellipsometry, contact po… more

Low-energy neutral-beam injection in the central cell of TMX-U

Description: The purpose is to estimate the central-cell parameters that can be reached by injection of low-energy neutral beams. The main advantages of low energy (2-keV full-energy component) over high energy (15-keV full-energy component) are the following: (1) creation of a beam-fueled, potentially confined, central-cell plasma (n approx. = 10/sup 13/ cm/sup -3/, E/sub ic/ approx. = 1 keV, T/sub ec/ approx. = 0.4 keV) without the use of cold-gas injection or ICRH heating; and (2) reduced shielding requi… more

SLC vertical survey network

Description: During 1984 and 1985 the SLC alignment group established and measured a system of elevation benchmarks (BM's) over the whole of the SLAC site, ranging from the injector area to the NGS horizontal control point (surface monument) AA on the hill to the east of the collider hall outside the radiation fence. Precise elevations are needed in general for survey, alignment, placement, and monitoring of SLC tunnels and components. In particular, precise elevations of the survey instruments, mounted ove… more

Corrosion evaluation of cooling-water treatments for gas centrifuge facilities

Description: The corrosion resistance of six different types of weighted metal coupons was evaluated at 29/sup 0/C (84/sup 0/F) in flowing water containing nitrite-borate-silicate corrosion inhibitors. The question for evaluation was whether it would be more advantageous: (1) to drain the treated cooling water from the centrifuge machine and to expose them to moisture-laden air over an assumed shop downtime and repair perid of 1 month; or (2) to let the treated cooling water remain stagnant in the machines … more

Seismic safety margins research program. Project I SONGS 1 AFWS Project

Description: The seismic qualification requirements of auxiliary feedwater systems (AFWS) of Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR) were developed over a number of years. These are formalized in the publication General Design Criteria (Appendix A to 10CFR50). The full recognition of the system as an engineered safety feature did not occur until publication of the Standard Review Plan (1975).

Acid rain: the impact of local sources

Description: It has been assumed that acid rain is predominantly a problem of long-range transport of pollutants from large fossil fuel combustion sources, namely coal-fired utilities. However, close examination of fuel use information and source emission characteristics in the Adirondacks, Florida, and California suggests that local oil burning and automotive sources may be major contributors to the occurrence of acid rain in these areas. This report describes the possible role of local combustion sources … more
