Research and Development Data to Define the Thermal Performance of Reflective Materials Used to Conserve Energy in Building Applications

Description: A comprehensive experimental laboratory study has been conducted on the thermal performance of reflective insulation systems. The goal of this study was to develop test and evaluation protocols and to obtain thermal performance data on a selected number of idealized and commercial systems containing reflective airspaces for use in analytical models. Steady-state thermal resistance has been measured on 17 different test panels using two guarded hot boxes. Additional instrumentation was installed… more

Bromine Safety

Description: The production and handling in 1999 of about 200 million kilograms of bromine plus substantial derivatives thereof by Great Lakes Chemical Corp. and Albemarle Corporation in their southern Arkansas refineries gave OSHA Occupational Injury/Illness Rates (OIIR) in the range of 0.74 to 1.60 reportable OIIRs per 200,000 man hours. OIIRs for similar industries and a wide selection of other U.S. industries range from 1.6 to 23.9 in the most recent OSHA report. Occupational fatalities for the two comp… more

Long-Term Cathodoluminescent Characterization of Thin-Film Oxide Phosphors in a Wide Range of Electron Excitation Densities

Description: Long-term processes of cathodoluminescence degradation of thin film phosphors Zn{sub 2}SiO{sub 4}:Ti and Zn{sub 2}GeO{sub 4}:Mn were investigated in a wide range of e-beam energies, current and power densities. The time dependencies describing decreasing of emission intensity have been found. At high-level densities of e-beam irradiation the specific behavior of long-term degradation processes was observed, which is characteristic with rapid degradation at initial stage and slow consequent decr… more

Using Fport on Windows NT to Map Applications to Open Ports

Description: To develop defense-in-depth computer security, an understanding of various vulnerabilities must be realized before a protection strategy is developed. One element to minimize vulnerabilities is to develop computer security policies, and these policies must be in practice. In addition, risk assessments should be performed, and the highest risk-factor vulnerabilities must be eliminated promptly. A commonly accepted computer security policy usually starts with a firewall being established at the c… more

Fast computation of statistical uncertainty for spatiotemporal distributions estimated directly from dynamic cone beam SPECT projections

Description: The estimation of time-activity curves and kinetic model parameters directly from projection data is potentially useful for clinical dynamic single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) studies, particularly in those clinics that have only single-detector systems and thus are not able to perform rapid tomographic acquisitions. Because the radiopharmaceutical distribution changes while the SPECT gantry rotates, projections at different angles come from different tracer distributions. A dyn… more

Gyrokinetic Calculations of the Neoclassical Radial Electric Field in Stellarator Plasmas

Description: A novel method to calculate the neoclassical radial electric field in stellarator plasmas is described. The method, which does not have the inconvenience of large statistical fluctuations (noise) of standard Monte Carlo technique, is based on the variation of the combined parallel and perpendicular pressures on a magnetic surface. Using a three-dimensional gyrokinetic delta f code, the calculation of the radial electric field in the National Compact Stellarator Experiment has been carried out. … more

Quality Assurance Calculations to Support Use of HELIOS Version 1.6 for Plutonium Disposition Studies

Description: In mid-2000, the Reactor Physics Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) purchased a new version of the HELIOS, assembly-level reactor physics computer program (version 1.6). While the authors of the HELIOS program had performed validation and verification studies and compared results to versions 1.4 and 1.5, geometries and materials similar to those expected for mixed oxide fuel (MOX) in Russian water-water energetic reactors (VVER) had not been investigated. The studies reported in this… more
