Flow observation by rod lens and low-light video (videotape script: January 4, 1977)

Description: The script of a demonstration videotape made to show the possibilities of coupling rod lenses to low-light video systems to observe internal flow conditions is presented. The illustrations accompanying the text were photographed directly from the video screen. Some up-dated comments appear as footnotes to the original script and a description of the multiscan low-light television system developed to measure velocity is included in the epilogue. The combination of rod lens and low-light video sy… more

Review of electrostatic plugging

Description: Using electric fields to diminish end losses from open magnetic plasma confinement systems is equivalent to magnetically shielding the grid wires of an electrostatic plasma confinement device. Electrostatically plugged magnetic cusps confine electrons magnetically in the perpendicular direction and electrostatically in the parallel direction, and ions are purely electrostatically confined in both directions. Theoretical estimates have been made of confinement times, electron density, plasma pot… more

ORTAP: a nuclear steam supply system simulation for the dynamic analysis of high temperature gas cooled reactor transients

Description: ORTAP was developed to predict the dynamic behavior of the high temperature gas cooled reactor (HTGR) Nuclear Steam Supply System for normal operational transients and postulated accident conditions. It was developed for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) as an independent means of obtaining conservative predictions of the transient response of HTGRs over a wide range of conditions. The approach has been to build sufficient detail into the component models so that the coupling between the … more

Delays in nuclear power plant construction. Progress report, September 15, 1976--September 14, 1977

Description: This report identifies barriers to shortening nuclear power plant construction schedules and recommends research efforts that should minimize or eliminate the identified barriers. The identified barriers include: (1) design and construction interfacing problems; (2) problems relating to the selection and use of permanent materials and construction methods; (3) construction coordination and communication problems; and (4) problems associated with manpower availability and productivity;

Plutonium analysis in spiked bovine tissues: an interlaboratory study

Description: One of the more useful tools to assure the reliability of results from analytical procedures is the interlaboratory comparison method. The present exercise was undertaken primarily to obtain a measure of the reliability of analyses performed by several laboratories on autopsy samples in support of the United States Transuranium Registry (USTR). The results of these and other leading laboratories which routinely conduct similar analyses will be presented and compared. Three types of bovine tissu… more
