Baseline Gas Turbine Development Program Third Quarterly Progress Report

Description: Progress is reported for a program to demonstrate by 1976 an experimental gas turbine powered automobile which meets the 1976 Federal Emission Standards, has significantly improved fuel economy, and is competitive in performance, reliability, and potential manufacturing cost with the conventional piston engine powered, standard-size American automobile. Procurement delays have caused an additional one-month slippage in engine deliveries. All test cell conversion and preparation tasks are comple… more

Experimental evaluation of fission-gas release in LMFBR subassemblies using an electrically heated test section with sodium as coolant

Description: A description is given of an out-of-pile experiment which simulated fission-gas release in current-design uranium-oxide fuel subassemblies of liquid- metal-cooled fast breeder reactors (LMFBR's) and which was performed to evaluate the potential for pin-to-pin failure propagation due to thermal transients induced in adjacent fuel pins. A sodium-cooled test section containing three electrically heated pins was used. Gas (angon or xenon), injected as a jet through a needle protruding into the… more

High-$beta$ capture and mirror confinement of laser-produced plasmas. Semiannual report, February 1--July 31, 1973

Description: The United Aircraft Research Laboratories are engaged in a program to investigate the use of a dense, mirror-confined, laser-produced plasma as the target for a neutral-injection beam and to examine this technique for establishing and maintaining a high-temperature, high-density, steady-state, mirrorconfined fusion plasma. The program is a direct extension of the current UARL investigations of the capture and confinement of laser-produced plasmas in a minimum-B mirror field. The overall program… more

Proposal for a direct numerical control system

Description: This report describes a Direct Numerical Control (DNC) System proposed for use in the LLL Mechanical Shops. The DNC system includes a small digital computer that will provide the capability to store, manipulate, and distribute parts programs to the various machine tool stations. The system will also provide editing capabilities for parts program development and optimization. Diagnostic routines will be included to provide preventive maintenance. Logging of machine on'' time can be ins… more

Endothermic process: application to immobilization of Hanford in-tank solidified waste

Description: Conversion of high-level solid radioactive waste to a nonleachable silicate glass is accomplished in the Endothermic process by simple melting of a mixture of the waste with crushed basalt. Dense (2.5 g cm/sup -3/) green-black glasses are obtained by melting mixtures containing 30 to 40 wt% Hanford In-Tank Solidified (ITS) waste, 50 to 70 wt% basalt, and 0 to 10 wt% B/sub 2/O/sub 3/. Addition of B/sub 2/O/sub 3/ to the process charge is desirable to lower its melting range from about 1100--1150… more

Aerospace Safety Program: summary report

Description: Projects in support of the Aerospace Nuclear Safety Program are summarized. The objective of the program was to evaluate the radiological safety of SNAP systems and to develop methods and designs to assure that safety. Projects summarized are analyses and experiments for determining: (1) the disintegration of reactors reentering the atmosphere; (2) the burnup of fuel elements reentering the atmosphere, including ablation and dispersal of particles; (3) reactor criticality conditions and the ass… more

Uniform dose distribution with moving negative pion beams

Description: Dense ionization in the stopping region as negative pions come to rest in matter makes them attractive for treatment of cancer. Pions of the same energy have essentially the same range in matter which means that a monoenergetic beam will produce a Bragg peak region of maximum ionization as they come to rest. In cancer therapy, the entire treatment volume should be exposed, if possible, to the Bragg peak. A distribution of energy and adjustment of lateral dimensions could theoretically adjust th… more

Behavior of ultrasonic tagged chinook salmon and steelhead trout migrating past Hanford thermal discharges (1967)

Description: Ultrasonic tagged, adult chinook salmon and steelhead trout were tracked in the Columbia River in 1967 during upstream migration past cooling water discharges from nuclear reactors. All fish migrated near shorelines, showing preference for the river bank opposite reactors. Clear responses to local temperaature differences were exhibited by few fish, these responses being to small shoreline seepages rather than to main centerchannel outfalls. (auth)
