CO/sub 2/ laser ionization of very high lying valence states in atomic uranium

Description: Results of recently concluded investigations of infrared laser induced photoionization of very high lying even parity levels in atomic uranium are presented. Behavior of both Rydberg and valence states is described.

High resolution autoionization spectra in atomic uranium

Description: High resolution (less than or equal to .5 cm/sup -1/) autoionization spectra of atomic uranium has been observed from newly identified odd parity levels between 32,660 and 34,165 cm/sup -1/. Photoionization cross sections are presented.

Observation of new levels for isotope separation in atomic uranium by multistep ionization

Description: Over 100 new odd parity levels useful for isotope separation of U(I) were observed between 32,660--34,165 cm/sup -1/ using multistep photoionization. A tabulation of typical cross sections and radiative lifetimes for these states is given. The extension of this technique to mapping the spectra of other heavy atoms is discussed. (auth)

Optimizing the mirror (fusion--fission) hybrid reactor for plutonium production

Description: An analytic model of the fusion components is used to generate a consistent set of fusion parameters, and component costs as parameters are varied. A model of the blanket, based on neutronic and thermal hydraulics, is then used to analyze the trade-offs of energy production vs plutonium production dictated by blanket type and management. An economic discussion of fuel cost is also given. (MOW)

Continued studies of calorimeter performance at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory

Description: Calibrations of two calorimeters used for tritium and plutonium assays were made. Data from three new standards of about 0.5, 1, and 5 W were added to the results of a previous report and analyzed together. The accuracies of both calorimeters appear to fall within the specified 0.5 percent, although the data now available for the large calorimeter is insufficient to permit a more definite conclusion. An expression of the bias correction for each calorimeter with respect to the sample power cann… more
