Selected papers for global `95 concerning plutonium

Description: This report contains selected papers from the Global `95 Conference ``Evaluation of Emerging Nuclear Fuel Cycle Systems,`` held in Versailles, Sept. 11-14, 1995. The 11 papers in Part I are from ``Benefits and Risks of Reprocessing`` sessions. The 7 papers in Part II are some of the more interesting poster papers that relate to the use of Pu for power generation. Finally, the 3 papers are on the topic of management and disposition of Pu from retired nuclear weapons.

Demonstration of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology for the control of nitrogen oxide (NO{sub x}) emissions from high-sulfur coal-fired boilers. Draft final report

Description: The primary goal of this project was to demonstrate the use of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to reduce NO{sub x} emissions from pulverized-coal utility boilers using medium- to high-sulfur US coal. The prototype SCR facility, built in and around the ductwork of Plant Crist Unit 5, consisted of three large SCR reactor units (Reactors A, B, and C), each with a design capacity of 5,000 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) of flue gas, and six smaller reactors (Reactors D through J), each wi… more

Target area design issues for implementing direct drive on the National Ignition Facility

Description: NIF will be configured in its baseline design to achieve ignition and gain using the indirect drive approach. However, the requirements require the design to not preclude the conduct of inertial confinement fusion experiments using direct drive. This involves symmetrical illumination of an ICF capsule, where each beam fully subtends the capsule. The re-directing of 24 of the 48 NIF beamlines (2x2 beamlet group each) from 30 and 50{degree} cone angles to 75{degree} cone angles near the chamber `… more

A study of CR-39 track response to charged particles from NOVA implosions

Description: We have exposed CR-39 track recording material to a number of NOVA implosions. Radiation from the implosion passed through an array of ranging filters, which aided identification of the incident particles and their energies. The etching procedure was calibrated by including a piece of track exposed to DD protons from a small accelerator. For the same shots, we quantitatively compare the DD neutron yield with the DD proton yield determined from the track. In DT implosions, tracks produced by neu… more

Utility of the National Ignition Facility for inertial fusion energy and radiation sciences experiments

Description: NIF is being configured so as to not preclude conduct of radiation experiments that will contribute to evaluating the readiness of military systems and components to withstand radiation environments. The range of possible experimental environments and the flexibility to introduce various types of experimental packages suggests synergism with experiments related to Inertial Fusion Energy development on NIF. Design status of NIF features to support radiation experiments is described, and a relati… more

Experiment and analysis of ablation and condensation in NIF first wall materials

Description: Experiments were performed on Nova at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to study the ablation and condensation process of National Ignition Facility (NIF) first wall materials. Plates of candidate first wall materials (SiO{sub 2}, B{sub 4}, and Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}) were exposed to x-rays from hohlraums in the Nova chamber. Ablated material was collected and measured on a receiving plate which was blocked form direct x-ray exposure. This article presents the results form these experiments and… more

Listed waste history at Hanford facility TSD units

Description: This document was prepared to close out an occurrence report that Westinghouse Hanford Company issued on December 29, 1994. Occurrence Report RL-WHC-GENERAL-1994-0020 was issued because knowledge became available that could have impacted start up of a Hanford Site facility. The knowledge pertained to how certain wastes on the Hanford Site were treated, stored, or disposed of. This document consolidates the research performed by Westinghouse Hanford Company regarding listed waste management at o… more

Sequential charged-particle and neutron activation of Flibe in the HYLIFE-II inertial fusion energy power plant design

Description: Most radionuclide generation/depletion codes consider only neutron reactions and assume that charged particles, which may be generated in these reactions, deposit their energy locally without undergoing further nuclear interactions. Neglect of sequential charged-particle (x,n) reactions can lead to large underestimation in the inventories of radionuclides. PCROSS code was adopted for use with the ACAB activation code to enable calculation of the effects of (x,n) reactions upon radionuclide inve… more

Confinement of ignition and yield on the National Ignition Facility

Description: The National Ignition Facility Target Areas and Experimental Systems has reached mid-Title I design. Performance requirements for the Target Area are reviewed and design changes since the Conceptual Design Report are discussed. Development activities confirm a 5-m radius chamber and the viability of a boron carbide first wall. A scheme for cryogenic target integration with the NIF Target Area is presented.

Heating, ventilating, air conditioning deactivation thermal analysis of the PUREX plant

Description: Thermal analysis was performed for the proposed PUREX exhaust system after deactivation. The purpose of the analysis was to determine if condensation will occur in a sufficient quantity to plug or damage the filtration components. A heat transfer and fluid flow analysis was performed to evaluate the thermal characteristics of the underground duct system, the deep bed glass fiber (DBGF) filter No. 2, and the HEPA filters in the fourth filter building. The analysis is based on the extreme variati… more

The status of the ICF target physics program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Description: Calculations of x-ray driven igniting implosions require several critical parameters which have been separately tested on Nova, viz., acceptable levels of SBS and SRS from plasmas equivalent to the plasmas in igniting hohlraums, quantitative understanding of radiation temperature in gas-filled hohlraums, demonstration of control of drive symmetry in gas-filled hohlraums, low levels of seeding of hydrodynamic instabilities from surfaces, especially cryogenic deuterium tritium ice, and quantitati… more

Reducing deuterium-tritium ice roughness by electrical heating of the saturated vapor

Description: High gain targets for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) contain a layer of deuterium-tritium (DT) ice which surrounds a volume of DT gas in thermal equilibrium with the solid. The roughness of the cryogenic fuel layer inside of ICF targets is one of the sources of imperfections which cause implosions to deviate from perfect one dimensional performance. Experiments at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have shown that applying a heat flux across the inner surface of a hydrogen layer such as … more
