Recovery of cesium, technetium, rhodium and palladium from stored waste supernates

Description: The results of our assessment of the processing methods and costs for the recovery of cesium, techneium, rhodium, and palladium from aged waste supernates are presented. Guidelines for the assessment of costs are given. Cesium can be readily absorbed from alkaline waste supernates without prior treatment using Linde AW-500, a synthetic zolite. Technetium, present in the supernate as the pertechnetate anion, together with rhodium and palladium, probably present as anionic nitrite complexes, can … more

Aerothermodynamic analysis of the SNAP-27 fuel cask

Description: An aerothermodynamic analysis of the SNAP-27 LEM fuel cask is presented for each of three mission aborts. Aerodynamic models for point mass and six degree-of-freedom trajectories are used, and the fuel cask heating rates and temperature responses are predicted for these trajectories. A survey of analytical and experimental studies of separated flow is related to the fuel cask, and a shock tunnel test program is outlined for further fuel cask analyses.

WSEP 30-ton liquid transfer cask: Design criteria and performance tests

Description: Shipment of radioactive wastes in shielded transfer casks is a continuing practice between the 300 Area and the 200 Areas. However, the Waste Solidification Engineering Prototypes (WSEP) located in 324 Building, 300 Area, require the transfer of significant quantities of radioactive wastes. Two new 30-ton casks are being placed in service to accommodate the increased number of shipments. The purpose of this report is to document the design criteria, tests and calculations performed on the casks… more

TRANSVERSE COHERENT RESISTIVE INSTABILITIES OF AZIMUTHALLY BUNCHED BEAMS IN PARTICLE ACCELERATORS

Description: The transverse electromagnetic coupling of bunches of particles with each other is investigated theoretically, and shown to incorporate the possibility (due to the effect of nonperfectly conducting vacuum chamber walls) of coherent instability even when the longitudinal distance between bunches is much larger than the transverse dimensions of the vacuum tank. The modes of oscillation in which the bunches move rigidly are investigated; criteria for stability, and expressions for the small amplit… more

Variable metric method for minimization. [In FORTRAN for IBM 704]

Description: A method for determining numerically local minima of differentiable functions of several variables is described. In the process of locating each minimum, a matrix which characterizes the behavior of the function about the minimum is determined. For a region in which the function depends quadratically on the variables, no more than N iterations are required, where N is the number of variables. By suitable choice of starting values and without modification of the procedure, linear constraints can… more

Mechanism and kinetics of mineral absorption by plants. Annual progress report, October 1, 1965-September 30, 1966

Description: Plant nutrition was studied as a relation between aerobic respiration and ion uptake in barley. Potassium, chlorine, lithium, sodium, calcium, sulfates, and bicarbonates were studied by root absorption in varying concentrations of carbon dioxide atmospheres. (PSB)

Surface-water records in Lower Little Creek basin, Lamar and Marion Counties, Mississippi. Technical letter: DRIBBLE-52

Description: Basic surface-water and precipitation data collected from June 1961 through June 1965 at 10 stations in Lower Little Creek basin of Lamar and Marion Counties, Mississippi, are presented. The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission's Tatum dome site of Project Dribble is in Lower Little Creek basin. The data show a 3.80-inch deficiency in precipiation in the Tatum dome are from April 1964 through June 1965 and an 11.72-inch deficiency from June 1961 through June 1965. The mean monthly discharge at Lo… more

Thermal analysis of a SNAP-8 type reactor system during atmospheric reentry. Thermo-physics technical note No. 76

Description: A thermal analysis was carried out to determine the temperature distribution in a SNAP-8 type reactor system during atmopsheric reentry. Of particular interest are the temperature distributions in the reactor upper head, the upper grid plate, and the vessel wall. The time and altitude were determined at which the upper head falls away from the reactor core due to having a portion of its wall melted through. The time and altitude of the melting of the upper grid plate and vessel wall were also d… more
