Description: A stress analysis has been completed for the LOFT piping nozzles penetrating through the containment vessel in accordance with the 1965 edition of Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. LOFT Specification S-1 states that the 1965 edition, including the addenda through the summer 1966 issue, be used. Stresses in the containment wall and in the nozzles result from mechanical and thermal loads on the piping that penetrate the nozzles. The mechanical loads were compiled in LTR 121… more

Conceptual studies and preliminary design of a fluid bed fired boiler for service in an electric utility

Description: As a part of this study, B and W was to develop fluid bed system design bases and parameters using any and all sources available. The design parameters used for the fluid bed boiler designs in this study were actually developed by B and W as part of their in-house AFB development program and also as a part of the subject design study. To properly carry out the assessment portion of the work it was essential to develop an understanding of the basic interrelationship of variables in order that th… more

Investigation of effect of single phase electrical faults at LOFT

Description: This LTR presents the general basic engineering facts related to an open phase fault in a three phase power system commonly referred to as a single phase condition. It describes the probable results to electrical motors and describes the LOFT system design factors which minimize the likelihood of such a fault occurring at LOFT. It recognizes that the hazard of such a fault is a realistic threat and notes the types of relays designed to provide protection. Recommendations are made to perform a d… more

Tritium waste control: April--June 1978. [Catalytic exchange detritiation; liquid waste decontamination; fixation in polymer impregnated concrete; management of high specific activity tritiated wastes]

Description: The Combined Electrolysis Catalytic Exchange system was operated to experimentally determine mass transfer coefficients and to test the process controller. Values for H/sub OG/ and K/sub tilde y/a were obtained at three separate molar flow ratios (tilde L/tilde G). Replicate values of K/sub tilde y/a from additional runs agreed with initial results to within 16%. Two process controller tests were completed that demonstrated the reliability of the system hardware and the feasibility of the digit… more

Electrical and electron microscopy observations on defects in ion implanted silicon

Description: Silicon single crystals were implanted with 100 keV phosphorus ions to a dose of 2 x 10/sup 16/ ions/cm/sup 2/ at both room-temperature and 600/sup 0/C. They were isochronally annealed at temperatures ranging from 400/sup 0/C to 900/sup 0/C. Sheet resistivity measurements of the specimens were taken after each anneal, together with corresponding transmission electron micrographs.

TRU Waste Cyclone Drum Incinerator and Treatment System: April--June 1978

Description: The cyclone incinerator was operated throughout the quarter utilizing the new lid assembly. Burning rates averaged 35.1 kg/h. Early indications are that equipment life expectancies may also have lengthened. Efforts continue on selection of a system to dry sludges generated in the off-gas treatment system. A quality control program was started this quarter. The ash/cement matrix studies were completed. The 65/35 mixture proved to be the best for dry-cure pellets, and the 80/20 mixture produced t… more
