Synar Amendment Implementation: Quality of State Data on Reducing Youth Access to Tobacco Could Be Improved

Description: A letter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Every day, about 3,000 young people become regular smokers. It is estimated that one-third of them will die from smoking-related diseases. If children and adolescents can be prevented from using tobacco products they are likely to remain tobacco-free for the rest of their lives. In 1992, Congress enacted legislation, known as the Synar amendment, to reduce the sale and distribution of tobacco products to indiv… more

Weapons of Mass Destruction: Assessing U.S. Policy Tools for Combating Proliferation

Description: Testimony issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "The attacks of September 11 and the recent anthrax cases have heightened long-standing concerns about the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The United States and the international community have undertaken several efforts over the years to secure these weapons and prevent their spread. Today, there is renewed need to maintain strong international controls over such weapons and related technologies, and t… more

Design of an RF Antenna for a Large0Bore, High Power, Steady State Plasma Processing Chamber for Material Separation

Description: The purpose of this Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) between UT-Battelle, LLC, (Contractor), and Archimedes Technology Group, (Participant) is to evaluate the design of an RF antenna for a large-bore, high power, steady state plasma processing chamber for material separation. Criteria for optimization will be to maximize the power deposition in the plasma while operating at acceptable voltages and currents in the antenna structure. The project objectives are to evaluate th… more

Intermetallic Alloys: Patterns and Complexity. Final Technical Report

Description: This report summarizes the research accomplishment of the P.I. and her collaborators. The major findings are (a) in the area of ordering in metallic alloys, the interplay between chemical and structural short-range order and (b) in the area of glassy dynamics in frustrated spin models. In the context of alloys, the development of a theoretical framework for incorporating the correlation between chemical and structural degrees of freedom has been a major accomplishment. The work on frustrated sp… more

Hybrid Chirped Pulse Amplification

Description: A hybrid terawatt-amplification scheme combining optical-parametric-chirped-pulse amplification and amplification in active laser media is demonstrated for the first time. This simple technique uses a single pump pulse and eliminates gain narrowing, allows efficient energy conversion and does not require electro-optic devices.

Study of Second Phase Particles and Fe content in Zr Alloys Using the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne

Description: We have conducted a study of second phase particles and matrix alloying element concentrations in zirconium alloys using synchrotron radiation from the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory. The high flux of synchrotron radiation delivered at the 2BM beamline compared to conventional x-ray generators, enables the detection of very small precipitate volume fractions. We detected the standard C14 hcp Zr(Cr,Fe)2 precipitates, (the stable second phase in Zircaloy-4) in the bul… more

National Security Implications of Airborne Early Warning (AEW) Aircraft

Description: This report examines the Airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft, which significantly improves the effectiveness of modern defensive and offensive air operations. Presently only a few countries manufacture such aircrafts. The demand for AEW aircraft, is growing however, as their utility is recognized. AEW aircraft have been sought by China and India, each a party in regional rivalries. Congress is likely to review the U.S. national security interests and policies raised by these cases.

Protective Clothing Based on Permselective Membrane and Carbon Adsorption

Description: The goal of this project was to develop chemical protective clothing for use by DOE decontamination and decommissioning workers that is sufficiently water vapor permeable to keep the workers cool, thereby enhancing their productivity. This report describes the results of Phase II of a two-phase project to complete development of the novel permselective material and to test protective clothing made from the fabric. In Phase I a novel material incorporating a nonporous hydrophilic polyvinylacohol… more

Study of Nuclear Reactions with Radioactive {sup 17}F at HRIBF

Description: Radioactive {sup 17}F beams were produced at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF) using the Isotope Separator On-Line (ISOL) technique. Two of the experiments using accelerated {sup 17}F beams to study reaction mechanisms are presented: the simultaneous emission of two protons from a resonance in {sup 18}Ne and the breakup of {sup 17}F by {sup 208}Pb.

Decay of Resonance in {sup 18}Ne by the Simultaneous Emission of Two Protons

Description: Radioactive ion beams of {sup 17}F were used to study several resonance states in {sup 18}Ne. Clear evidence for simultaneous two-proton emission from the 6.15 MeV state (J{sup {pi}} = 1{sup -}) in {sup 18}Ne has been observed with the reaction {sup 17}F + H. Because of limited angular coverage, the data did not differentiate between the two possible mechanisms of simultaneous decay, di-proton ({sup 2}He) emission or direct three-body decay. The two-proton partial width was found to be 21 {+-} … more
