A NEW LOG EVALUATION METHOD TO APPRAISE MESAVERDE RE-COMPLETION OPPORTUNITES

Description: This report covers the information presented at the technical progress review. The following topics were discussed: (1) Structure of the study area dataset. (2) A visual illustration of the typical logs. (3) Crossplots developed and evaluated for patterns that might bear a relationship to initial producing rate. (4) Development of fuzzy curves to rank the goodness of the statistical properties of the logs used to construct the crossplots. (5) Neural network correlations developed with statistic… more

Electrophilic metal alkyl chemistry in new ligand environments

Description: Cationic group 4 and actinide Cp{sub 2}MR{sup +} metallocenes, and isolobal neutral group 3 and lanthanide Cp{sub 2}MR analogs, are exceptionally reactive in insertion and {sigma}-bond metathesis processes, and have been exploited extensively in catalysis and synthesis, most notably single-site olefin polymerization. The objectives of recent work were to design new electrophilic metal alkyls based on non-Cp{sub 2}M structures, and to exploit these systems in fundamental and applied studies rela… more

Corrosion Test Results for Inconel 600 vs Inconel-Stainless UG Bellows

Description: The Conversion Project (CP) of the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) involves converting slightly less than 40 kg of {sup 233}U to a stable form for safe storage. The operation is performed within a few vessels interconnected by valves and 1/2-in. metal tubing. During this conversion, a particularly toxic and corrosive by-product is formed, namely aqueous hydrofluoric acid (HF). The production of HF is a result of the hydrolysis of UF{sub 6} and subsequent s… more

Fine-grain authorization for resource management in the Grid environment

Description: In this document we describe our work-in-progress for enabling fine-grain authorization of resource management. In particular we address the needs of Virtual Organizations (VOs) to enforce their own polices in addition to those of the resource owners 1.

Comparative Dosimetric Estimates of a 25 keV Electron Micro-beam with three Monte Carlo Codes

Description: The calculations presented compare the different performances of the three Monte Carlo codes PENELOPE-1999, MCNP-4C and PITS, for the evaluation of Dose profiles from a 25 keV electron micro-beam traversing individual cells. The overall model of a cell is a water cylinder equivalent for the three codes but with a different internal scoring geometry: hollow cylinders for PENELOPE and MCNP, whereas spheres are used for the PITS code. A cylindrical cell geometry with scoring volumes with the shape… more

Hydrofluoric Acid Corrosion Study of High-Alloy Materials

Description: A corrosion study involving high-alloy materials and concentrated hydrofluoric acid (HF) was conducted in support of the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment Conversion Project (CP). The purpose of the test was to obtain a greater understanding of the corrosion rates of materials of construction currently used in the CP vs those of proposed replacement parts. Results of the study will help formulate a change-out schedule for CP parts. The CP will convert slightly less than 40 kg of {sup 233}U from a … more

Investigation of passive vibration damping methods for the Advanced Photon Source storage ring girders.

Description: Beam stability is a major concern for the operation of the APS. One of the many contributing factors to electron-beam instability is mechanical vibration of the accelerator components especially the focusing magnets. The electron beam should be stable to 5% of its rms size to maintain the specified photon beam stability. The APS uses steel girders to support the conventional magnets and vacuum chambers in the storage ring (SR). Three pedestal and jack assemblies support the girders. Damping pad… more

Grid and Zone Selection for AMR and ALE Schemes

Description: Numerical algorithms are based fundamentally on polynomial interpolation. In regions of the computational domain where a low order polynomial fits the data well one will find small errors in the computed quantities. Therefore, in order to design robust methods for grid selection for AMR schemes or zone selection for ALE schemes, one needs some information on the local polynomial structure of the fields being computed. We provide here algorithms and software for selecting zones based on local es… more

Absorption Spectra of Broadened Sodium Resonance Lines in Presence of Rare Gases

Description: The pressure broadening of alkali-metal lines is a fundamental problem with numerous applications. For example, the sodium resonance lines broadened by xenon are important in the production of broad spectra emitted in the HPS (High-Pressure Sodium) lamp and they potentially can be used for gas condition diagnostics. Broadened absorption lines of alkali-metal atoms are prominent in the optical spectra of brown dwarfs and understanding the broadening mechanism will help elucidate the chemical com… more

An Ab Initio Approach Towards Engineering Fischer-Tropsch Surface Chemistry

Description: As the US seeks to develop an energy strategy that reduces the reliance on foreign oil, there is a renewed interest in research and development of the Fischer Tropsch synthesis of converting syngas into long chain hydrocarbon products. This report investigates some of the basic elementary steps for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis over ideal Co and Ru metal surfaces by using ab initio density functional theoretical calculations. This includes activation of CO of CO, the hydrogenation of CH{sub x} inte… more

F-22 Raptor Aircraft Program

Description: This report discusses the background information, analysis and the recent developments in the F-22 Raptor Aircraft Program. The F-22 program raises questions about its cost and the need for this aircraft, the capabilities it would have, and the number of these planes needed to meet military requirements. The F-22 has had strong congressional support, although some have criticized the program on grounds of cost, requirements, and coordination with other tactical aircraft programs. Deletion of pr… more
