Technical study for the chemical cleaning of Dresden-1. Volume I, Section 1 and 2

Description: A feasibility study has been completed to decontaminate the primary system of the Dresden-1 Nuclear Power Unit operated by Commonwealth Edison Company of Illinois. Available data initially were searched to determine the state of the art. Solvents based on organic acids and chelates gave unsatisfactory deontamination factors or unacceptable corrosion rates when evaluated for cleaning of specimens from the Dresden-1 primary system, under static and dynamic conditions. A new proprietary cleaning s… more

Welding uranium with a multikilowatt, continuous-wave, carbon dioxide laser welder

Description: A 15-kilowatt, continuous-wave carbon dioxide laser was contracted to make partial-penetration welds in 6.35-and 12.7-mm-thick wrought depleted uranium plates. Welding power and speed ranged from 2.3 to 12.9 kilowatts and from 21 to 127 millimeters per second, respectively. Results show that depth-to-width ratios of at least unity are feasible. The overall characteristics of the process indicate it can produce welds resembling those made by the electron-beam welding process.

Thermal energy storage market-oriented background paper

Description: Thermal energy storage (TES) technologies and their applications are discussed. The markets and commercialization status and potential are explored. ERDA TES program plans are presented. It is concluded that the only TES systems ready for immediate commercialization are storage water heating and space heating charged with off-peak electricity. All that is needed for commercialization to occur is the introduction of appropriate split electricity rates or load management contracts. In the near-te… more

Thermal and hydraulic analyses of the System 81 cold traps

Description: Thermal and hydraulic analyses of the System 81 Type I and II cold traps were completed except for thermal transients analysis. Results are evaluated, discussed, and reported. Analytical models were developed to determine the physical dimensions of the cold traps and to predict the performance. The FFTF cold trap crystallizer performances were simulated using the thermal model. This simulation shows that the analytical model developed predicts reasonably conservative temperatures. Pressure drop… more

Development of a practical photochemical energy storage system. Quarterly report. [Interconversion between norbornadiene and quadricyclene for thermochemical heat storage]

Description: Research on polymeric organic sensitizers and polymeric inorganic sensitizers for the conversion of norbornadine to quadricyclene and catalysts for the conversion of quadricyclene to norbornadine is described. The interconversion of norbornadine and quadricyclene is studied for its possible use for thermochemical solar energy storage. (WHK)

Evaluation of Uranium Potential in Selected Pennsylvanian and Permian Units and Igneous Rocks in Southwestern and Southern Oklahoma: Final Report

Description: Introduction: The areas of study include parts of the Wichita uplift, Arbuckle uplift, Hunton-Pauls Valley uplift, Central Oklahoma platform, Muenster-Waurika arch, and Anadarko basin (Fig. 1.1-1). Rocks examined include the Precambrian granite of the Arbuckle uplift, Cambrian igneous rocks of the Wichita uplift, and Pennsylvanian-Permian sedimentary rocks derived in large part from those two uplifts and, to a lesser extent, from the Ouachita system.

Large area silicon sheet by EFG. Second quarterly report, April 1, 1977--June 30, 1977

Description: During the quarter on which this document reports significant amounts of 2'' wide ribbon have been grown from both growth systems at speeds up to 2''/min. Solar cells prepared from the material have shown conversion efficiencies up to 8% (AM1). Thus, it is believed that the basic effort to produce reasonably clean conditions in these resistance heated furnaces has succeeded. However, the ribbons produced show a cross-sectional structure which is significantly different from that of induction fu… more
