Defense Burdensharing: Is Japan's Host Nation Support a Model for Other Allies?

Description: This report reviews data that the Administration has provided to Congress on the costs of U.S. forces based abroad and on the value of host nation support contributions. It analyzes the data in order to assess potential defense budget savings from measures now under congressional consideration. The report concludes that, because of shortcomings in the data, estimates of savings in the U.S. defense budget from increased host nation contributions are often overstated. Some commonly accepted asser… more

Environmental Assessment Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, low-level and mixed waste processing

Description: The Department of Energy (DOE) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA), DOE/EA-0843, for the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) low-level and mixed waste processing. The original proposed action, as reviewed in this EA, was (1) to incinerate INEL`s mixed low-level waste (MLLW) at the Waste Experimental Reduction Facility (WERF); (2) reduce the volume of INEL generated low-level waste (LLW) through sizing, compaction, and stabilization at the WERF; and (3) to ship INEL LLW to a c… more

Foam insulated transfer line test report

Description: Miles of underground insulated piping will be installed at the Hanford site to transfer liquid waste. Significant cost savings may be realized by using pre-fabricated polyurethane foam insulated piping. Measurements were made on sections of insulated pipe to determine the insulation`s resistance to axial expansion of the pipe, the force required to compress the foam in the leg of an expansion loop and the time required for heat up and cool down of a buried piping loop. These measurements demons… more

Preparation of unsymmetrically labeled oxygen molecules and their use of elucidate oxygen metabolism

Description: A novel technique has been developed to synthesize in large quantities an O{sub 2} molecule that is unsymmetrically labeled with the oxygen isotopes oxygen-16 and oxygen-18. This unusual molecule, {sup 16}O{sup 18}O, has been utilized as a unique spectroscopic probe of the mechanism of metabolism in living organisms. Preparation of this molecule requires prior synthesis of the exotic precursor hypofluorous acid, HOF, and an improved method for synthesizing this precursor has recently been devel… more

Fabrication and downhole testing of moving through casing resistivity apparatus. [Quarterly] report, July 1, 1993--September 30, 1993

Description: This is a continuing research effort into the new field of measuring resistivity of geological formations from within cased wells. Additional data confirming the feasibility of the technology is to be taken in a test well with the existing stop-hold-and-lock apparatus which is called the Thru Casing Resistivity Apparatus (TCRA). After that data is obtained, the already existing mechanical apparatus developed in an earlier phase of the project will then be modified and new electronic components … more

Novel technologies for SO{sub x}/NO{sub x} removal from flue gas. [Quarterly] technical report, December 1, 1993--February 28, 1994

Description: The goal of this project is to develop a cost-effective low temperature deNO{sub x} catalyst to be used in the Research Triangle Institute-Waterloo SO{sub x}/NO{sub x} process for boiler retrofit applications. The performance goal of the catalyst is to convert over 80% of the NO in the flue gas at a temperature as low as 150{degree}C in the presence of 4% O{sub 2} and 10% water. Based on the results obtained in the first quarter, which showed that modification of a Cu-ZrO{sub 2} catalyst with N… more

Structure and expression of nuclear genes encoding rubisco activase. Final technical report

Description: Rubisco activase (Rca) is a soluble chloroplast protein that catalyzes the activation of rubisco, the enzyme that initiates the photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle, to catalytic competency. Rca in barley consists of three polypeptides, one of 46- and two of 42-kDa, but the quaternary structure of the protein is not known. The authors have isolated and completely sequenced 8.8 kb of barley genomic DNA containing two, tandemly oriented activase genes (RcaA and RcaB) and three different cDNAs en… more

Subsurface barrier verification technologies, informal report

Description: One of the more promising remediation options available to the DOE waste management community is subsurface barriers. Some of the uses of subsurface barriers include surrounding and/or containing buried waste, as secondary confinement of underground storage tanks, to direct or contain subsurface contaminant plumes and to restrict remediation methods, such as vacuum extraction, to a limited area. To be most effective the barriers should be continuous and depending on use, have few or no breaches… more

Characterization of coal particles using rule base on-line image analysis. [Quarterly] technical report, December 1, 1993--February 28, 1994

Description: Different materials in coal reflect light in a different manner and, therefore, can be identified based on their image of light reflectance characteristics (i.e. shade of gray). Furthermore, liberated and nonliberated pyrite particles are surrounded by media of different shades of gray. With these two pieces of information, the degree of pyrite liberation and the degree of purity of coal macerals can be analyzed through a computer program. Ultimately, this image analysis computer program will a… more

Carbon and nitrogen isotope studies in an arctic ecosystem. Final report

Description: The dynamics of carbon fixation and storage in tundra soils has received considerable attention with respect to global carbon cycling. Recent findings by investigators using chamber measurements of fixation/respiration rates in arctic tundra have led to the conclusion that tundra is no longer storing carbon but is instead a source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. The author has sought to test these conclusions and to determine methods by which the long-term accumulation or loss of carbon in… more

Constraints on T-odd and P-even hadronic interactions from nucleon, nuclear, and atomic electric dipole moments

Description: We deduce constraints on time-reversal-noninvariant (TRNI), parity-conserving (PC) hadronic interactions from nucleon, nuclear, and atomic electric dipole moment (edm) limits. Such interactions generate edm`s through weak radiative corrections. We consider long-ranged mechanisms, i.e., those mediated by meson exchanges in contrast to short-range two-loop mechanisms. We find that the ratio of typical TRNI. PC nuclear matrix elements to those of the strong interaction are {approx_lt} 10{sup {minu… more
