The solubilities of significant organic compounds in HLW tank supernate solutions -- FY 1995 progress report

Description: At the Hanford Site organic compounds were measured in tank supernate simulant solutions during FY 1995. This solubility information will be used to determine if these organic salts could exist in solid phases (saltcake or sludges) in the waste where they might react violently with the nitrate or nitrite salts present in the tanks. Solubilities of sodium glycolate, succinate, and caproate salts; iron and aluminum and butylphosphate salts; and aluminum oxalate were measured in simulated waste su… more

D0 Silicon Upgrade: Heat Transfer and Thermal Bowing Calculations of the D0 F-Diskl

Description: Shown in Figure 1 is a side view of the D0 F-disk assembly. SVX II chips are mounted to a flex copper/kapton Circuit, which is glued to a beryllium substrate. Figure 1 shows the top and bottom disk assemblies mounted on the cooling channel. However the disks are not mounted directly opposite one another as shown, but alternately rotate through 30{sup o} wedges mounted on either side of the cooling channel. The assumed channel temperature for these calculations is 0 C, as in the cases of the lad… more

The Federal Budget Process: A Brief Outline

Description: In a sense the term "budget process" is a misnomer when applied to the federal government. Budgeting for the federal government is not a single process; rather it consists of a number of processes that have evolved separately and which occur with varying degrees of coordination. This report, and the accompanying flow chart, attempt to clarify the role played by each of the component parts of the budget process as well as how they operate together.

The Line Item Veto Act

Description: The Line Item Veto Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-130, 110 Stat. 1200), gives the President expanded rescission authority by changing the burden of action and coverage. Under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (88 Stat. 332), the President must obtain the support of both Houses within a specified time period for a rescission to become permanent, while the new law puts the burden on Congress to disapprove presidential rescission proposals within a 30-day period. Along with rescission of discretion… more

Line Item Veto Act of 1996: Lessons from the States

Description: The Line Item Veto Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-130) authorizes the President to cancel discretionary budget authority, new entitlements, and limited tax benefits. When this authority becomes available on January 1, 1997, it will change the dynamics among all three branches of government. In response to presidential decisions to cancel certain provisions, Congress may change the way it drafts bills and committee reports. Lawsuits will bring these presidential and congressional actions before federal c… more

New HYDRA option: Time histories of element pressure with THUG

Description: The incompressible Navier-Stokes flow code HYDRA has been modified to produce pressure time history databases for both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) simulations. This report describes the control parameters needed to activate this option in HYDRA. A detailed description of the actual code modifications are included. The generated pressure time history data is formatted for postprocessing with the code THUG. A brief description of how to produce pressure time history plots is i… more

Results of fracture mechanics analyses of the Adorer cranes in the device assembly facility using actual, rather than conservative, stress-components

Description: Fracture mechanics analyses were done on 3 critical locations on the lower flange of the load beam of the Ederer 5 ton and 4 ton cranes in the D.A.F. Facility. This was done to determine appropriate flaw sizes for NDE detection during periodic inspection, and appropriate inspection intervals.

Electronic structure and phase equilibria in ternary substitutional alloys

Description: A reliable, consistent scheme to study phase equilibria in ternary substitutional alloys based on the tight-binding approximation is presented. With electronic parameters from linear muffin-tin orbital calculations, the computed density of states and band structures compare well with those from more accurate {ital ab}{ital initio} calculations. Disordered alloys are studied within the tight-binding coherent-potential approximation extended to alloys; energetics of ordered systems are obtained t… more

Conversion of high carbon refinery by-products. Quarterly report, January 1--March 31, 1996

Description: The overall objective of the project is to demonstrate that a partial oxidation system, which utilizes a transport reactor, is a viable means of converting refinery wastes, byproducts, and other low value materials into valuable products. The primary product would be a high quality fuel gas, which could also be used as a source of hydrogen. The concept involves subjecting the hydrocarbon feed to pyrolysis and steam gasification in a circulating bed of solids. Carbon residue formed during pyroly… more
