Keeping the peace green: Integrating arms control and environmental protection

Description: This talk is about how to avoid turning swords into Superfund sites. The problem we address is the potential conflict between the desire to take advantage of the greater international security brought by the end of the Cold War by entering arms control agreements requiring various military weapons to be dismantled, and the desire to avoid further degrading the environment in the process of destroying them. We will use as an illustration of these issues the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), whi… more

Safety assessment of discharge chute isolation barrier preparation and installation

Description: This analysis examines activities associated with the installation of isolation barriers in the K Basins at the Hanford Reservation. This revision adds evaluation of barrier drops on stored fuel and basin floor, identifies fuel which will be moved and addresses criticality issues with sludge. The safety assessment is made for the activities for the preparation and installation of the discharge chute isolation barriers. The safety assessment includes a hazard assessment and comparisons of potent… more

Inner-shell photo-ionized X-ray laser schemes for low-Z elements

Description: Gain calculations for inner-shell photo-ionized lasing in C at 45 {angstrom} are performed. An incident x-ray source represented by a 150 eV blackbody with a rise time of 50 fsec gives a gain of order 10 cm{sup {minus}1}. The x-ray source and thus the driving optical laser requirements are significantly reduced as compared to what is needed for Ne at 15 {angstrom}. The authors expect that existing ultra-short pulse lasers can produce the required x-ray source and thus produce a table-top x-ray … more

Interim report of the Advisory Committee on human radiation experiments

Description: The Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments was created by President Clinton to advise the Human Radiation Interagency Working Group on the ethical and scientific criteria applicable to human radiation experiments carried out or sponsored by the U.S. Government. The Committee seeks to answer several fundamental question: What ethics criteria should be used to evaluate human radiation experiments? What was the Federal Government`s role in human radiation experiments? What are the crite… more

Facility agreements under the chemical weapons convention inspections

Description: The Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) poses problems of constitutionality, of loss of confidential business information, and even of plant safety. An entirely new and complex worldwide regulatory regime, it nevertheless takes account of the need for certainty in the conduct of industrial production. In particular, the CWC provides for site-specific inspection protocols, called {open_quotes}facility agreements{close_quotes}. Facility agreements are not defined in the CWC, but are to be developed… more

Nuclear criticality safety analysis summary report: The S-area defense waste processing facility

Description: The S-Area Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) can process all of the high level radioactive wastes currently stored at the Savannah River Site with negligible risk of nuclear criticality. The characteristics which make the DWPF critically safe are: (1) abundance of neutron absorbers in the waste feeds; (2) and low concentration of fissionable material. This report documents the criticality safety arguments for the S-Area DWPF process as required by DOE orders to characterize and to justif… more

Fourth and Fifth Amendment issues raised by Chemical Weapons Convention inspections

Description: The Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) offers a unique challenge to the United States system of constitutional law. This discussion is about the Fourth and Fifth Amendment issues raised by the CWC and about how federal implementing legislation can allow verification inspections to take place in the United States under the Chemical Weapons Convention while remaining in compliance with the Constitution. By implementing legislation, the author means a federal statute that would be enacted separatel… more

Toward improved photon-atom scattering predictions

Description: Photon-atom scattering is important in a variety of applications, but scattering from a composite system depends on the accurate characterization of the scattering from an isolated atom or ion. We have been examining the validity of simpler approximations of elastic scattering in the light of second-order S-matrix theory. Partitioning the many-body amplitude into Rayleigh and Delbrueck components, processes beyond photoionization contribute. Subtracted cross sections for bound-bound atomic tran… more

Kearney and Trecker Milwaukee Matic 600

Description: A computer model of a Kearney and Tracker (K and T) Milwaukee Matic 600 (MM600) with a Gemini controller for use under the Deneb Robotics, Inc. simulation environment has been constructed. The simulation uses the K and T controller and standard MM600 machine geometry. Both the machine geometry and the controller are provided. The machine has been constructed using K and T`s standard machine dimensions and setup. The controller simulation addresses the most typically used NC codes, but may not b… more

PMESH: A parallel mesh generator

Description: The Parallel Mesh Generation (PMESH) Project is a joint LDRD effort by A Division and Engineering to develop a unique mesh generation system that can construct large calculational meshes (of up to 10{sup 9} elements) on massively parallel computers. Such a capability will remove a critical roadblock to unleashing the power of massively parallel processors (MPPs) for physical analysis. PMESH will support a variety of LLNL 3-D physics codes in the areas of electromagnetics, structural mechanics, … more
