The Effect of Steady Winds on Radon-222 Entry from soil into houses

Description: Wind affects the radon-222 entry rate from soil into buildings and the resulting indoor concentrations. To investigate this phenomenon, we employ a previously tested three-dimensional numerical model of soil-gas Bow around houses, a commercial computational fluid dynamics code, an established model for determining ventilation rates in the presence of wind, and new wind tunnel results for the ground-surface pressure field caused by wind. These tools and data, applied under steady-state condition… more

q Profile evolution and enhanced core confinement of high {beta}{sub p} plasmas in DIII-D

Description: In DIII-D the authors have investigated the long pulse evolution of high poloidal beta ({sub beta}{sub p}), double-null diverted H-mode discharges, which exhibit high bootstrap current fractions attractive for a reactor. At low currents I{sub p}, the current profile evolved over several seconds and the on-axis safety factor (q{sub 0}) increased. When q{sub 0} increased above {approximately}2, the MHD character changed from an m/n = 2/1 to an m/n = 3/1 internal kink mode, where m(n) are poloidal… more

Thermal modeling of the lithium/polymer battery

Description: Research in the area of advanced batteries for electric-vehicle applications has increased steadily since the 1990 zero-emission-vehicle mandate of the California Air Resources Board. Due to their design flexibility and potentially high energy and power densities, lithium/polymer batteries are an emerging technology for electric-vehicle applications. Thermal modeling of lithium/polymer batteries is particularly important because the transport properties of the system depend exponentially on tem… more

Parametric design using IGRIP

Description: The Department of Energy`s (DOE) Hanford site near Richland, Washington is being cleaned up after 50 years of nuclear materials production. One of the most serious problems at the site is the waste stored in single-shell underground storage tanks. There are 149 of these tanks containing the spent fuel residue remaining after the fuel is dissolved in acid and the desired materials (primarily plutonium and uranium) are separated out. The tanks are upright cylinders 75 ft. in diameter with domed t… more

In-situ containment and stabilization of buried waste: Annual report FY 1994

Description: The two landfills of specific interest are the Chemical Waste Landfill (CWL) and the Mixed Waste Landfill (MWL), both located at Sandia National Laboratory. The work is comprised of two subtasks: (1) In-Situ Barriers and (2) In-Situ Stabilization of Contaminated Soils. The main environmental concern at the CWL is a chromium plume resulting from disposal of chromic acid and chromic sulfuric acid into unlined pits. This program has investigated means of in-situ stabilization of chromium contamina… more

Cryogenic monochromator as a solution to undulator heat loads at third generation synchrotron sources

Description: We have developed a new design for a cryogenically cooled monochromator employing a thin-crystal strategy which is capable of handling the central-cone power of the Advanced Photon Source`s Undulator A at closed gap and at the full design current of 300 mA. We have designed and fabricated a Si (111) crystal which has a thin section where the x-rays hit and has internal cooling channels. A invar manifold has also been designed and it will be attached to the Si via In gaskets. We have done detail… more

Transport simulation of negative magnetic shear discharges

Description: In the present work the authors present simulations which show that the hollow current profile can be maintained in quasi-steady state through a self-consistently determined combination of bootstrap current and neutral beam and rf current drive. Controllability of the q profile is demonstrated by eliminating low m/n mode number instabilities from these discharges by maintaining q > 1.5 at all times, starting from appropriate initial conditions. At moderately high {beta}{sub p}, the bootstrap cu… more

CsI(Tl) with photodiodes for identifying subsurface radionuclide contamination

Description: At the US Department of Energy`s Hanford Site near Richland, Washington, underground radioactive contamination exists as the result of leaks, spills, and intentional disposal of waste products from plutonium-production operations. Characterizing these contaminants in preparation for environmental remediation is a major effort now in progress. In this paper, a cylindrical (15 {times} 61 mm) CsI(Tl) scintillation detector with two side-mounted photodiodes has been developed to collect spectral ga… more

Generation of fast electrons in reversed field pinches by the equilibrium grad {vert_bar}B{vert_bar} force

Description: It is shown that a decreasing magnetic field profile in reversed-field pinch plasmas leads to formation of an anisotropic electron distribution function at the plasma edge. The mechanism is the conservation of the magnetic moment and the energy of electrons that collisionlessly travel outward in a stochastic magnetic field. As a result, the electrons have high parallel energies and low perpendicular energies at the edge. The details of the distribution function correspond well to experimental r… more

Extraction and detection of pesticide residues from air filter inserts using supercritical carbon dioxide

Description: Trace quantities of airborne herbicide residues were collected on adsorbent bed cartridges and were subsequently extracted from the adsorbent using supercritical carbon dioxide. An apparatus was constructed to facilitate the extraction and recovery of the desired analytes. The resulting extracts were analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) techniques. Results are presented for a series of analytes representative of common comm… more

Numerical simulation of coupled flow and transport with TOUGH2: A verification study

Description: We have tested T2DM, the dispersion module of TOUGH2, on two classic flow problems: (1) the seawater intrusion problem of Henry (1964); and (2) the pure solutal free convection problem of Elder (1967). T2DM produces results in agreement with prior work for similar spatial discretizations. In the Henry problem, finer spatial discretization allows the seawater tongue to penetrate slightly farther without affecting the overall flow dynamics. In the strongly coupled pure solutal free convection pro… more

Proposal for using optical transition radiation for electron beam alignment and emittance measurement for the free emittance measurement for the free electron laser experiments at ATF

Description: Optical transiton radiation (OTR) produced from thin intercepting foils have been employed to image the spatial profile of the electron beam in several free electron laser experiments. It was found that the images from OTR were significantly sharper than the images produced from phosphor screens. Furthermore, OTR`s sensitivity of its angular distribution and polarization to energy and divergence of the electron beam was exploited to diagnose energy and emittance of the electron beam. OTR has be… more
