A 3 TeV on 3 TeV proton-proton dedicated collider for Fermilab

Description: The Fermilab Dedicated Collider proposed in May 1983 is a 2 TeV on 2 TeV p)bar p) collider. The expected luminosity is )approximately) 10/sup 31/ cm/sup (minus/2)sec/sup )minus/1) and the estimated cost is )approximately) $362M (FY-83 dollars). Since 1983 both the superconducting magnet and the particle detector technologies have advanced and the countenance of physics, hence the desired characteristics of new facilities have also altered somewhat. We want to show here that with the new magnet … more

Description: Over the past few years several proposals have been prepared to investigate the potential hazard of ferrocyanide-nitrate reactions that may occur in some Hanford waste tanks. In 1988 Westinghouse Hanford Company (WHC) decided to perform some of the suggested experimental work. Based on the proposal submitted in July, 1988, it was agreed to do a portion of the work during FY 1988. This report summarizes the results of that work, provides a preliminary analysis of the results, and includes recomm… more

Some continuously variable partial snakes of Type 1 and Type 2

Description: In order to obtain polarized beam in proton accelerators, Siberian snakes of two types may be needed in order to establish a spin tune independent of energy. We have done a numerical study to find a type II partial snake and to find more exact solutions for the type I partial snakes previously proposed. We find a type II partial snake. We find that the unequal field integrals needed to modify approximate type I snakes to exactly type I snakes with horizontal and vertical bends result in unaccep… more

Raman scattering in crystals

Description: A tutorial presentation is given of Raman scattering in crystals. The physical concepts are emphasized rather than the detailed mathematical formalism. Starting with an introduction to the concepts of phonons and conservation laws, the effects of photon-phonon interactions are presented. This interaction concept is shown for a simple cubic crystal and is extended to a uniaxial crystal. The correlation table method is used for determining the number and symmetry of the Raman active modes. Finall… more

Cost estimate for muddy water palladium production facility at Mound

Description: An economic feasibility study was performed on the ''Muddy Water'' low-chlorine content palladium powder production process developed by Mound. The total capital investment and total operating costs (dollars per gram) were determined for production batch sizes of 1--10 kg in 1-kg increments. The report includes a brief description of the Muddy Water process, the process flow diagram, and material balances for the various production batch sizes. Two types of facilities were evaluated--one for pr… more

Development of core analysis procedures using x-ray computerized tomography. Quarterly report, September 1, 1988--November 30, 1988

Description: In a letter from John C. Lorenz of Sandia National Laboratories dated November 8, 1988, analyses of interest included. With the core received, measurements are not possible. Core must be loaded into a passive vessel to flow various fluids for permeability measurements. Because the core was slabbed and plugged, this was not possible. Microfractures or porosity distribution can also be seen by flowing two fluids with contrasting attenuation coefficients and using a subtractive imaging technique. … more

Aerated atomization of coal-water slurry fuels

Description: In order to observe the effects of rheology on the atomization of highly viscous non-Newtonian liquids, glycerin-water solutions and cellulose-glycerin-water solutions have been atomized. In this series of tests, nozzle pressure, air-liquid ratio and liquid viscosity were altered, and the effects were observed. 14 figs.

Heat extraction in fractured hydrothermal reservoirs: Final report

Description: The main objective of the Heat Extraction Project has been the development of means to estimate the thermal behavior of geothermal fluids from fractured hydrothermal resources based on production of mixed reservoir fluids from heat sweep by reinjected brine and resource fluid cooled by drawdown and infiltrating waters. Several reports and publications, listed in the concluding section of this report, resulted from the application of the SGP heat sweep model to achieve this objective. The Heat E… more

Chloride content of Rocky Flats scrub alloy eleventh campaign solution following head end treatment

Description: A single batch of dissolver solution from the eleventh Rocky Flats Scrub Alloy (RFSA) campaign has been analyzed for chloride content following head end treatment to reduce its concentration. Scrub alloy buttons were dissolved in Tank 6.4D during May. In subsequent head end processing, chloride was precipitated with mercurous ion added as the nitrate. The precipitate, Hg{sub 2}Cl{sub 2}, was concurrently removed with the gelatin floc via centrifugation. Duplicate samples from Tank 11.2, contain… more

Solvent problems in first PUREX cycle

Description: In March, 1988, the first PUREX cycle suffered uranium contamination of the solvent, 30% TBP in n-paraffin. Initial indication of maloperation was uranium contamination of the plutonium product stream, 1BP. Uranium in relatively large quantities, 10{sup {minus}3} to 10{sup {minus}4} g/L, was found in the solvent in Tank 14.7. This tank contains first cycle solvent that has been through the solvent washing system and is destined for return back to the cycle. Solvent, contained in Tank 14.7 under… more

Ultraviolet-visible-near infrared spectra of 50 samples

Description: Under the subject contract, Unidynamics/Phoenix recorded the ultraviolet-visible-near infrared spectra of 50 samples supplied by LANL. A Varian Cary 2300 series spectrophotometer produced the spectral data. The spectrophotometer was interfaced to a Varian D5-15 Data Station, and hard copies of data were made. Baseline corrections throughout the wavelength range were established using Halon as a reference material. Corrected measurements were automatically made by the system on every sample. Two… more

Drug Control

Description: How to prevent the non-medical use of dependency-producing drugs has been a public policy concern for at least a century. A large part of the responsibility for controlling such substances has been assumed by the Federal Government. Historically based on decision to restrict availability through a system of close regulation, including selective prohibition, the current Federal anti-drugs strategy lives on activities and programs in five major areas: 1) regulation and other “enforcement” efforts… more
