Adoption, Implementation and Enforcement of Commercial Building Energy Codes in New Mexico and Arizona

Description: The US Department of Energy (DOE) is considering ways to encourage states to adopt energy efficiency standards for residential and commercial buildings in the private sector. Such standards are now mandatory for federal buildings, and for private buildings in 34 states; in the remaining 16 states, the standards serve as guidelines for voluntary compliance. In this study for DOE, Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) assessed the process by which energy codes for commercial buildings were adopted a… more

Artificial Intelligence Technology Assessment for the Us Army Depot System Command

Description: This assessment of artificial intelligence (AI) has been prepared for the US Army's Depot System Command (DESCOM) by Pacific Northwest Laboratory. The report describes several of the more promising AI technologies, focusing primarily on knowledge-based systems because they have been more successful in commercial applications than any other AI technique. The report also identifies potential Depot applications in the areas of procedural support, scheduling and planning, automated inspection, trai… more

Air Pathway Report: Phase I of the Hanford Environmental Dose Reconstruction Project

Description: Phase 1 of the air-pathway portion of the Hanford Environmental Dose Reconstruction (HEDR) Project sought to determine whether dose estimates could be calculated for populations in the 10 counties nearest the Hanford Site from atmospheric releases of iodine-131 from the site from 1944--1947. Phase 1 demonstrated the following: HEDR-calculated source-term estimates of iodine-131 releases to the atmosphere were within 20% of previously published estimates; calculated vegetation concentrations of … more

Paper for Glasgow Conference on Nuclear Physics: Cosmotron Production of Heavy Mesons

Description: One might expect that the Cosmotron would offer certain advantages over cosmic rays for the study of heavy unstable particles; provided, of course, that it can produce them. In the first place, the conditions under which they are produced could be controlled to a considerably greater extent. In the second place, it might be possible to arrange conditions under which they would be observed more abundantly, an actual beam of heavy mesons being the ideal situation.

The Volatilization of Fission Products by Melting of Reactor Fuel Plates

Description: Experiments in the controlled melting of irradiated fuel specimens, particularly of the APPR, STR, and MTR types have confirmed that prolonged heating in air at temperatures in excess of the melting point results in the release of a large portion of the radioactivity. On the other hand, a moderate amount of heating in air or steam sufficient only to melt a specimen results mainly in the partial volatilization of the rare gases; the halogens, iodine and bromine; and the alkali metals, cesium and… more

Effect of Core Corrosion Sample Assembly on HRT Critical Concentration

Description: An estimate has been made of the critical fuel concentration in the HRT, taking into account the effect of the core corrosion sample assembly. The estimate is based on a number of previous calculations of critical concentration in an un-poisoned reactor and one calculation of critical concentration as a function of poison level. The makeup of the first core corrosion sample assembly was used in calculating equivalent neutron poisoning effects. Figure 1 shows the estimated critical concentration… more

Nuclear Computations for HRE-3 Design : Equilibrium Results

Description: Various nuclear characteristics of two-region spherical homogeneous reactors have been computed in order to provide information for the design of HRE-3. Equilibrium isotope concentrations were established using an ORACLE code, and a two-group model was used to obtain critical concentrations and flux distributions. Breeding ratio is plotted as a function of reactor size, blanket thorium concentration, and other design and operating parameters, and the time required for a demonstration breeding i… more

Radiation Level in the Stator Region of the HRT Fuel Circulation Pump

Description: The gamma dose rate in the motor region of the HRT fuel circulation pump was measured with the pump scroll full of radioactive solution. Extrapolation of the data to the solution activity expected in the pump under normal operation gives a dose rate well below that which would result in excessive gas production in the stator can within the life of the pump. The above dose rate does not include the effects of fast neutrons from the fuel solution or of the general cell radiation level in the vici… more
