Development of BEACON technology. Quarterly report, October-December 1982

Description: The BEACON process involves the catalytic deposition of a highly reactive form of carbon from a gas stream which contains carbon monoxide. The carbon-depleted gas is combusted with air to produce power, and the carbon is reacted with steam to produce methane or hydrogen. During the quarter both SOHIO and TRW worked on catalysts which would suppress methane formation during steaming thus increasing the amount of hydrogen formed. At SOHIO a C77-K2 catalyst promoted with a Class II compound showed… more

Uptake by plants of radionuclides from FUSRAP waste materials

Description: Radionuclides from FUSRAP wastes potentially may be taken up by plants during remedial action activities and permanent near-surface burial of contaminated materials. In order to better understand the propensity of radionuclides to accumulate in plant tissue, soil and plant factors influencing the uptake and accumulation of radionuclides by plants are reviewed. In addition, data describing the uptake of the principal radionuclides present in FUSRAP wastes (uranium-238, thorium-230, radium-226, l… more

Effects of electronically neutral impurities on muonium in germanium

Description: Low-temperature measurements of muonium parameters in various germanium crystals have been performed. We have measured crystals with different levels of neutral impurities, with and without dislocations, and with different annealing histories. The most striking result is the apparent trapping of Mu by silicon impurities in germanium.

Report to the Legislature on the California Energy Commission's Geothermal Development Grant Program for Local Governments

Description: This report documents the California Energy Commission's administration of its Geothermal Development Grant Program for Local Governments. The Energy Commission established this program as a result of the passage of Assembly Bill 1905 (Bosco) in 1980. This legislation established the mechanism to distribute the state's share of revenues received from the leasing of federal mineral reserves for geothermal development. The federal government deposits these revenues in the Geothermal Resources Dev… more

Evaporation of mesons from quark-gluon plasma by fission of chromoelectric flux tubes

Description: The chromoelectric flux tube model is used to obtain a dynamical description of the evaporation of mesons from a quark-gluon plasma. The radiation pressure is computed to assess whether this process is an important mode for the disassembly of a compressed plasma. A new result for the creation rate of q anti q pairs in a constant color field is employed.

Statistical calculation of complete events in medium-energy nuclear collisions

Description: This lecture presents the essential tools for formulating a statistical model for the nuclear disassembly process. We consider the quick disassembly (explosion) of a hot nuclear system, a so-called source, into multifragment final states, which compete according to their statistical weight. First some useful notation is introduced. The expressions for exclusive and inclusive distributions are given and the factorization of an exclusive distribution into inclusive ones is carried out. In turn, t… more

Effect of total pressure on graphite oxidation. [HTGR]

Description: Graphite corrosion in the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) is calculated using two key assumptions: (1) the kinetic, catalysis, and transport characteristics of graphite determined by bench-scale tests apply to large components at reactor conditions and (2) the effects of high pressure and turbulent flow are predictable. To better understand the differences between laboratory tests and reactor conditions, a high-pressure test loop (HPTL) has been constructed and used to perform tests … more

Aquifer restoration at in-situ leach uranium mines: evidence for natural restoration processes

Description: Pacific Northwest Laboratory conducted experiments with aquifer sediments and leaching solution (lixiviant) from an in-situ leach uranium mine. The data from these laboratory experiments and information on the normal distribution of elements associated with roll-front uranium deposits provide evidence that natural processes can enhance restoration of aquifers affected by leach mining. Our experiments show that the concentration of uranium (U) in solution can decrease at least an order of magnit… more

Analysis of forward and near-forward elastic-scattering amplitudes for pp and anti pp collisions

Description: We will present the results of two recently published (1983) papers by M.M. Block and R.N. Cahn, which analyze for anti pp and pp elastic scattering the rho values (ratios of the real to the imaginary parts of the forward nuclear scattering amplitudes), the total (hadronic) cross sections sigma, and the b values, the nuclear slope parameters. The predictions of the analyses, from ..sqrt.. s bar > 5 GeV, is compared with the recently measured values of sigma and b at the SPS Collider. The analys… more

Kinetic and resistive effects on interchange instabilities for a cylindrical model spheromak

Description: The stabilizing influence of diamagnetic drift effects on ideal and resistive interchange modes is investigated. A resistive-ballooning-mode equation is derived using a kinetic theory approach and is applied to a cylindrical model spheromak equilibrium. It is found that these kinetic effects can significantly improve the ..beta.. limits for collisionless interchange stability. For the resistive modes, the diamagnetic drift terms lead to growth rates which scale linearly with resistivity and are… more

Laboratory measurements of contaminant attenuation of uranium mill tailings leachates by sediments and clay liners

Description: We discuss FY82 progress on the development of laboratory tools to aid in the prediction of migration potential of contaminants present in acidic uranium mill tailings leachate. Further, empirical data on trace metal and radionuclide migration through a clay liner are presented. Acidic uranium mill tailings solution from a Wyoming mill was percolated through a composite sediment called Morton Ranch Clay liner. These laboratory columns and subsequent sediment extraction data show: (1) As, Cr, Pb… more
