Defense Acquisitions: Testing Needed to Prove SURTASS/LFA Effectiveness in Littoral Waters

Description: A letter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "For decades, the Navy has been striving to improve its ability to detect potential enemy submarines before they can get within effective weapons range of U.S. forces. In 1985, the Navy established the Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System (SURTASS) Low Frequency Active (LFA) sonar program to develop a long-range capability for detecting a new generation of quieter Soviet nuclear and diesel submarines operatin… more

The Influence of Radiation on Pit Solution Chemistry as it Pertains to the Transition from Metastable to Stable Pitting in Steels

Description: The goal of this research is to develop new methods to mitigate corrosion in DOE HLW tanks. To accomplish this, we will characterize the parameters that influence the transition from metastable pitting (also referred to as electrochemical noise) to stable pitting. These parameters include (1) the development of the critical pitting solution chemistry, (2) metastable pit morphologies and dynamics. Once we have evaluated these parameters, we will then examine the influence of gamma irradiation on… more

Phonon Precursors to the High Temperature Martensitic Transformation in Ti50Pd42Cr8.

Description: Inelastic neutron scattering measurements were carried out on the Ti{sub 50}Pd{sub 50-x}Cr{sub x} alloy, which has the potential for being a high temperature shape memory material. For x = 0, the transformation temperature is {approx}800K and for the composition studied (x = 8 at.%) T{sub M} {approx} 400K. The majority of the measurements were performed in the parent, {beta}-phase, up to 873K. Most of the phonons propagating along the three symmetry directions [{zeta}00], [{zeta}{zeta}{zeta}], … more

Diagnostic investigation of tune and tune shift in the IPNS RCS.

Description: The Intense Pulse Neutron Source (IPNS) Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) accelerates 50 MeV protons to 450 MeV 30 times per second for spallation neutron production. Average current from the RCS has recently exceeded 16 {micro}A with peak instantaneous current approaching 15 A. The RCS makes efficient use of 21 kV of RF accelerating voltage and uses phase-modulation between the two rf cavities to damp vertical instabilities. Split-ring electrodes in the ring suggest an anomalous tune shift that … more

Nuclear Excitation by Electronic Transition - NEET

Description: Experiments seeking to demonstrate nuclear excitation induced by synchrotron radiation have been enabled by the development of intense synchrotron radiation. The phenomena has been demonstrated in {sup 197}Au, while realistic upper limits for {sup 189}Os have been established. A new experiment in {sup 189}Os is described. The experimental claim of NEET in isomeric {sup 178}Hf is not credible.

Load As A Reliability Resource in the Restructured Electricity Market

Description: Recent electricity price spikes are painful reminders of the value that meaningful demand-side responses could bring to the restructuring US electricity system. Review of the aggregate offers made by suppliers confirms that even a modest increase in demand elasticity could dramatically reduce these extremes in price volatility. There is a strong need for dramatically increased customer participation in these markets to enhance system reliability and reduce price volatility. Indeed, allowing cus… more

Understanding the impact of upscaling THM processes on performance assessment

Description: The major objective of Benchmark Test 2 (BMT2) is to quantitatively examine the reliability of estimates of repository host rock performance, using large-scale performance assessment (PA) models that are developed by upscaling small-scale parameters and processes. These small-scale properties and processes can be investigated based on either discrete-fracture-network (DFN) models or heterogeneous-porous-medium (HPM) models. While most research teams use DFN, we employ fractal-based HPM for upsc… more

MULTI - QUARK HADRONS : PRODUCTION OF S = - 2 SYSTEMS.

Description: The general character of 4-quark (mesonic) and strange 6-quark (baryonic) quark systems is very briefly reviewed a la Jaffe, i.e. in the MIT bag, and so far still possibly viable candidates are indicated. The concentration is on the latter (S = -2) systems, with some attention given to more likely to be discoverable light, doubly-strange nuclei. The two modes for generating doubly strange, generally double-{Lambda} nuclear systems, are considered and related to each other. Traditionally, one em… more

Genetic Engineering of a Radiation-Resistant Bacterium for Biodegradation of Mixed Wastes

Description: The mixture of toxic chemicals, heavy metals, halogenated solvents and radionuclides in many DOE waste materials presents a challenging problem for separating the different species and disposing of individual contaminants. One approach for dealing with mixed wastes is to genetically engineer the radiation-resistant bacterium, Deinococcus radiodurans to survive in and detoxify DOE's mixed waste streams, and to develop process parameters for treating mixed wastes with such constructed strains.

SEPARATION OF HYDROGEN AND CARBON DIOXIDE USING A NOVEL MEMBRANE REACTOR IN ADVANCED FOSSIL ENERGY CONVERSION PROCESS

Description: Inorganic membrane reactors offer the possibility of combining reaction and separation in a single operation at high temperatures to overcome the equilibrium limitations experienced in conventional reactor configurations. Such attractive features can be advantageously utilized in a number of potential commercial opportunities, which include dehydrogenation, hydrogenation, oxidative dehydrogenation, oxidation and catalytic decomposition reactions. However, to be cost effective, significant techn… more

A Methodology to Integrate Magnetic Resonance and Acoustic Measurements for Reservoir Characterization

Description: The objective of the project was to develop an advanced imaging method, including pore scale imaging, to integrate nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques and acoustic measurements to improve predictability of the pay zone in hydrocarbon reservoirs. This will be accomplished by extracting the fluid property parameters using NMR laboratory measurements and the elastic parameters of the rock matrix from acoustic measurements to create poroelastic models of different parts of the reservoir.
