OPUS/PlotOPUS: An ORIGEN-S Post-Processing Utility and Plotting Program for SCALE

Description: The OPUS utility program produces an output file that can be used for making a variety of plots from output produced by the ORIGEN-S code that computes reactor fuel depletion, activation and fission- product buildup, and the corresponding photon and neutron source spectra. Tables containing individual and total nuclide or element concentrations, in 14 different units, may be generated as a function of time. Three classes of plot data may be produced by OPUS: (1) dominant or selected isotopes or… more

Multivariate High Order Statistics of Measurements of the Temporal Evolution of Fission Chain-Reactions

Description: The development of high order statistical analyses applied to measurements of the temporal evolution of fission chain-reactions is described. These statistics are derived via application of Bayes' rule to conditional probabilities describing a sequence of events in a fissile system beginning with the initiation of a chain-reaction by source neutrons and ending with counting events in a collection of neutron-sensitive detectors. Two types of initiating neutron sources are considered: (1) a direc… more

Recommendations on Fuel Parameters for Standard Technical Specifications for Spent Fuel Storage Casks

Description: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is currently reviewing the technical specifications for spent fuel storage casks in an effort to develop standard technical specifications (STS) that define the allowable spent nuclear fuel (SNF) contents. One of the objectives of the review is to minimize the level of detail in the STS that define the acceptable fuel types. To support this initiative, this study has been performed to identify potential fuel specification parameters needed for critic… more

Evaluation of the Impact of CO2, Aqueous Fluid, and Reservoir Rock Interactions on the Geologic Sequestration of CO2 with Special Emphasis on Economic Implications

Description: Lowering the costs of front-end processes in the geologic sequestration of CO{sub 2} can dramatically lower the overall costs. One approach is to sequester less-pure CO{sub 2} waste streams that are less expensive or require less energy to separate from flue gas, a coal gasification process, etc. The objective of this research is to evaluate the impacts of an impure CO{sub 2} waste stream on geologic sequestration using both reaction progress and reactive transport simulators. The simulators se… more

The proton driver design study

Description: In a 1997 summer study, a team led by Steve Holmes formulated a development plan for the Fermilab proton source and described the results in TM-2021. Subsequently, at the end of 1998, a task group was formed to prepare a detailed design of a high intensity facility called the Proton Driver to replace the Fermilab Booster. In the past two years the design effort has attracted more than fifty participants, mostly from the Beams Division. Physicists and engineers from the Technical Division and FE… more

Radiation tolerant circuits designed in 2 commercial 0.25{micro} CMOS processes

Description: Characterization of simple devices as well as complex circuits, in two commercial 0.25{micro} processes, demonstrates a high level (up to 58 Mrad) radiation tolerance of these technologies. They are also very likely to be immune to single event gate damage according to the results from 200 MeV-protons irradiation.
