Keeping the peace green: Integrating arms control and environmental protection

Description: This talk is about how to avoid turning swords into Superfund sites. The problem we address is the potential conflict between the desire to take advantage of the greater international security brought by the end of the Cold War by entering arms control agreements requiring various military weapons to be dismantled, and the desire to avoid further degrading the environment in the process of destroying them. We will use as an illustration of these issues the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), whi… more

The effect of beam intensity on the estimation bias of beam position

Description: For the signals of the beam position monitor (BPM), the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is directly related to the beam intensity. Low beam intensity results in poor SNR. The random noise has a modulation effect on both the amplitude and phase of the BPM signals. Therefore, the beam position measurement has a certain random error. In the currently used BPM, time-averaging and waveform clipping are used to improve the measurement. The nonlinear signal processing results in a biased estimate of beam … more

Oxygen stoichiometry and its influence on superconductivity in Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub 8+x}

Description: Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub 8+x} (2212) was synthesized from freeze-dried precursors. The oxygen content of 2212 was determined as a function of temperature and oxygen partial pressure and the variation of Tc with oxygen content was determined. It was found that 2212 without excess oxygen (x = 0) is superconducting. This points to the role of the (Bi-O){sub {infinity}} layers as a source for holes in 2212. Four probe resistivity measurements were also performed on 2212. The nature of oxy… more

Tank SY-102 remediation project: Flowsheet and conceptual design report

Description: The US Department of Energy established the Tank Waste Remediation System (TWRS) to safely manage and dispose of radioactive waste stored in underground tanks on the Hanford Site. A major program in TWRS is pretreatment which was established to process the waste prior to disposal. Pretreatment is needed to resolve tank safety issues and to separate wastes into high-level and low-level fractions for subsequent immobilization and disposal. There is a fixed inventory of actinides and fission produ… more

Basic TRUEX process for Rocky Flats Plant

Description: The Generic TRUEX Model was used to develop a TRUEX process flowsheet for recovering the transuranics (Pu, Am) from a nitrate waste stream at Rocky Flats Plant. The process was designed so that it is relatively insensitive to changes in process feed concentrations and flow rates. Related issues are considered, including solvent losses, feed analysis requirements, safety, and interaction with an evaporator system for nitric acid recycle.

Experimental and theoretical studies on the C15 intermetallic compounds MV{sub 2} (M = Zr, Hf and Ta): Elasticity and phase stability

Description: The phase stability of C15 HfV{sub 2} was studied by specific heat measurements. The elastic constants of C15 HfV{sub 2} were measured by the resonant ultrasound spectroscopy. Total energy and electronic structure of C15 intermetallic compounds MV{sub 2} (M = Zr, Hf and Ta) were calculated using the linear muffin tin orbital (LMTO) method. The band structures at X-point near the Fermi level were used to understand the anomalous shear moduli of the C15 HfV{sub 2} and ZrV{sub 2}. It was found tha… more

Instructions for borehole sampling

Description: Geologic systems generally are complex with physical properties and trends that can be difficult to predict. Subsurface geology exerts a fundamental control on groundwater flow and contaminant transport. The primary source for direct observation of subsurface geologic information is a borehole. However, direct observations from a borehole essentially are limited to the diameter and spacing of boreholes and the quality of the information derived from the drilling. Because it is impractical to dr… more
