Combating Terrorism: Selected Challenges and Related Recommendations

Description: A chapter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "As concerns about terrorism have grown, Executive Branch responsibilities and authorities have received greater attention, which led to the 1998 appointment of a national coordinator in the National Security Council. Both Congress and the President have recognized the need to review and clarify the structure for overall leadership and coordination. The President recently requested that the Vice President over… more

Why are the P{sub n} and S{sub n} Methods Equivalent

Description: The author assumes that the reader is familiar with the Spherical harmonics, Pn, method and the discrete ordinates, S{sub n}, method; for a derivation of the equations used in these methods. I will only discuss the Boltzmann equation in one dimension, and the Sn method using Gaussian quadrature. I will do this merely to simplify the following discussion; once you understand the concepts presented here you can easily extend the conclusions to more general situations. Why are the spherical harmon… more

A Catalog of Geologic Data for the Hanford Site

Description: This report catalogs the existing geologic data that can be found in various databases, published and unpublished reports, and in individuals' technical files. The scope of this catalog is primarily on the 100, 200, and 300 Areas, with a particular emphasis on the 200 Areas. Over 2,922 wells are included in the catalog. Nearly all of these wells (2,459) have some form of driller's or geologist's log. Archived samples are available for 1,742 wells. Particle size data are available from 1,078 wel… more

A highly portable, rapidly deployable system for eddy covariance measurements of CO2 fluxes

Description: To facilitate the study of flux heterogeneity within a region, the authors have designed, built, and field-tested a highly portable, rapidly deployable, eddy covariance CO{sub 2} flux measurement system. The system is built from off-the-shelf parts and was assembled at a minimal cost. The unique combination of features of this system allow for a very rapid deployment with a minimal number of field personnel. The system is capable of making high precision, unattended measurements of turbulent CO… more

Irradiation testing of actinide transmutation fuels in the advanced test reactor.

Description: The first irradiation experiment to evaluate the technical feasibility of proposed acitnide transmutation fuels for the US. Accelerator Transmutation of Waste program is currently under design. The goal of this irradiation experiment is to obtain initial irradiation performance data on candidate transmutation fuel concepts. The candidate fuels include non-fertile variations of (1) metallic alloys, (2) nitrides, (3) oxides, and (4) metal-matrix dispersion fuels. These fuels will be irradiated in… more

High-Order Boundary Condition Perturbation Theory for the Neutron Transport Equation

Description: First-order boundary condition perturbation theory is extended to nth-order in transport theory for eigenvalue problems. In particular, using an unperturbed (known) solution, formalisms are developed to determine the solution to the neutron transport equation when the boundary condition of the system is perturbed. The new method requires the computation of an adjoint Green's function. The numerical solution of this function is discussed. Finally, four numerical examples are provided to verify t… more

Ballooning Stability of the Compact Quasiaxially Symmetric Stellarator

Description: The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) ballooning stability of a compact, quasiaxially symmetric stellarator (QAS), expected to achieve good stability and particle confinement is examined with a method that can lead to estimates of global stability. Making use of fully 3D, ideal-MHD stability codes, the QAS beta is predicted to be limited above 4% by ballooning and high-n kink modes. Here MHD stability is analyzed through the calculation and examination of the ballooning mode eigenvalue isosurfaces in t… more

Statistical Correlations and Intensity Spiking in the Sase Fel.

Description: In the linear regime before saturation, we describe the statistical correlations in the narrow band chaotic output of the SASE FEL. At a fixed position along the undulator axis, we derive joint probability distributions for the intensity in the output pulse to have values I{sub 1} and I{sub 2} at times t{sub 1} and t{sub 2}, and for the spectral intensity to have values {tilde I}{sub 1} and {tilde I}{sub 2} at frequencies {omega}{sub 1} and {omega}{sub 2}. Probability distributions for the peak… more

Initial Studies of Core and Edge Transport of NSTX Plasmas

Description: Rapidly developing diagnostic, operational, and analysis capability is enabling the first detailed local physics studies to begin in high-beta plasmas of the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX). These studies are motivated in part by energy confinement times in neutral-beam-heated discharges that are favorable with respect to predictions from the ITER-89P scaling expression. Analysis of heat fluxes based on profile measurements with neutral-beam injection (NBI) suggest that the ion therm… more
