Objective function for the environmental assessment of waste

Description: Various waste management systems were examined in order to determine what the environmental impacts might be and to rank the relative importance of those impacts. This examination determined that radiation dose to man was the most significant, and probably overriding, impact. This report describes methods of providing an objective function for dose to man. The search for an objective function began with a reading of Federal Regulations and the output of various standard setting councils and com… more

National Waste Terminal Storage Program

Description: Objective of this program is to provide facilities (Federal repositories) in various deep geologic formations at several locations in USA for the safe disposal of commercial radioactive waste from power reactors. The four types of containerized waste are described. The steps for developing the repositories are outlined. (DLC)

Use of the Borrmann Effect to Produce Nearly Monoenergetic X Rays

Description: The use of the Borrmann effect to produce nearly monoenergetic x rays is described. Both theoretical and experimental results are presented for the energy range from 15 to 55 keV. Peak shape, full-widths at half-maximum, and intensities are discussed. In addition, a brief description of a computer code for calculating the theoretical results is given.

Exploding pusher targets illuminated using f/1 lenses at approx. 0. 4 TW

Description: A series of laser fusion microimplosion experiments have been performed with the LLL two beam laser system JANUS. The JANUS laser is capable of focusing up to 400 gigawatts of 1.06 ..mu..m laser power (32J in 80 psec) on microscopic laser fusion targets, producing intensities in excess of 10/sup 17/ w/cm/sup 2/. In these experiments the targets were Deuterium--Tritium (DT) gas filled, thin walled (.5 to 1.0 ..mu..m) SiO/sub 2/ microshells with diameters of 40 to 100 ..mu..m. Targets with these … more

Flow-regime characterization for horizontal two-phase steam flow

Description: A relatively simple model, using Baker parameters, is described and applied to flow-regime data generated by high speed photography of two-phase steam flow. The experiments were conducted at the Geothermal Test Facility (GTF) at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. Although results depend somewhat on the personal judgment and interpretation of the observer, the model was found to give a reasonable prediction of the flow regime for the flow ranges available in 1- and 2-in.-diam pipes.
