Effects of oxygen cover gas and NaOH dilution on gas generation in tank 241-SY-101 waste

Description: Laboratory studies are reported of gas generation in heated waste from tank 241-SY-101. The rates of gas generation and the compositions of product gas were measured. Three types of tests are compared. The tests use: undiluted waste, waste diluted by a 54% addition of 2.5 M NaOH, and undiluted waste with a reactive cover gas of 30% Oxygen in He. The gas generation rate is reduced by dilution, increased by higher temperatures (which determines activation energies), and increased by reactions of … more

Transient coherent synchrotron radiation in magnetic bending systems

Description: Transient evolution of the power radiated coherently by a charged- particle bunch orbiting between two infinite, parallel conducting plates is calculated. The plates comprise an idealized vacuum pipe in a bending magnet. The bunch moves on a trajectory such that it suddenly diverts from a straight-line path to a circular orbit and begins radiating. The influence of the plates on the transients is contrasted to their shielding of the steady-state radiated power. The effect of the radiation field… more

The solubilities of significant organic compounds in HLW tank supernate solutions -- FY 1995 progress report

Description: At the Hanford Site organic compounds were measured in tank supernate simulant solutions during FY 1995. This solubility information will be used to determine if these organic salts could exist in solid phases (saltcake or sludges) in the waste where they might react violently with the nitrate or nitrite salts present in the tanks. Solubilities of sodium glycolate, succinate, and caproate salts; iron and aluminum and butylphosphate salts; and aluminum oxalate were measured in simulated waste su… more

Packaging design criteria for the MCO cask

Description: Approximately 2,100 metric tons of unprocessed, irradiated nuclear fuel elements are presently stored in the K Basins (including possibly 700 additional elements from PUREX, N Reactor, and 327 Laboratory). The basin water, particularly in the K East Basin, contains significant quantities of dissolved nuclear isotopes and radioactive fuel corrosion particles. To permit cleanup of the K Basins and fuel conditioning, the fuel will be transported from the 100 K Area to a Canister Storage Building (… more

100-D Ponds groundwater quality assessment

Description: The 100-D Ponds facility is regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976. The pH of groundwater in a downgradient well is statistically different than local background, triggering an assessment of groundwater contamination under 40 CFR 265.93. Results of a similar assessment, conducted in 1993, show that the elevated pH is caused by the presence of alkaline ash sediments beneath the ponds, which are not part of the RCRA unit. The 100-D Ponds should remain in indicator eval… more

Energy spread from rf amplitude and phase errors

Description: The energy spread in the beam due to rf amplitude and phase errors is calculated for multiple passes and off-crest operation. Effects of the slow phase errors and feedback systems are included in the calculation. If an rms energy spread requirement is to be met, a final formula gives the tradeoff between slow and fast phase errors and amplitude errors. Phase and amplitude stability requirements are derived for CEBAF IR DEMO FEL (free electron laser).
