Transuranic (TRU) Waste Phase I Retrieval Plan

Description: Phase I retrieval of post-1970 TRU wastes from burial ground 218-W-4C can be done in a safe, efficient, and cost-effective manner. Initiating TRU retrieval by retrieving uncovered drums from Trenches 1, 20, and 29, will allow retrieval to begin under the current SWBG safety authorization basis. The retrieval of buried drums from Trenches 1, 4, 20, and 29, which will require excavation, will commence once the uncovered drum are retrieved. This phased approach allows safety analysis for drum vent… more

Predicting Induced Radioactivity at High Energy Accelerators

Description: Radioactive nuclides are produced at high-energy electron accelerators by different kinds of particle interactions with accelerator components and shielding structures. Radioactivity can also be induced in air, cooling fluids, soil and groundwater. The physical reactions involved include spallations due to the hadronic component of electromagnetic showers, photonuclear reactions by intermediate energy photons and low-energy neutron capture. Although the amount of induced radioactivity is less i… more

Laser-generated metallic hydrogen

Description: Hydrogen reaches the minimum conductivity of a metal at 140 GPa (1.4 Mbar) and 3000 K. These conditions were achieved using a two-stage light-gas gun. The authors have investigated computationally the use of a laser-heated hohlraum to shock compress hydrogen to these conditions in samples sufficiently thin that the metallic fluid might be quenched metastably on release of dynamic pressure. A configuration was found such that the duration of maximum pressure is sufficiently long that the hydroge… more

Science Behind the Regulation of Food Safety: Risk Assessment and the Precautionary Principle

Description: Although Congress, the President and agency administrators support the use of science as a basis for food safety regulatory activities, there are controversies about how science can best be used for this purpose. Supporters of science-based regulations regard conclusions from well-designed scientific studies as largely impartial and fair;

A Monte Carlo Calculation of Muon Flux at Ground Level from Primary Cosmic Gamma Rays

Description: The Monte Carlo program FLUKA was used to calculate the number of muons reaching detection level in events initiated by primary cosmic gamma ray interactions in the atmosphere. The calculation was motivated by the desire to gauge the sensitivity of arrays like that of Project GRAND to primary gamma cosmic rays while measuring single muons at detection level. Because direct gamma pair production is not a significant source of muons, normally the presence of muons is not considered as a signal fo… more

Simulation of intense heating and shock hydrodynamics in free-moving liquid targets.

Description: Recently, significant interest has focused on the use of free or open liquid-metal targets flowing with high velocities in various nuclear and high-energy physics applications such as the ISOLDE and muon collider projects. This is because the heat generated in solid targets due to beam bombardment cannot be removed easily and the resulting thermal shock damage is a serious problem. The behavior of a free-moving liquid mercury or gallium jet due to a proton beam deposition in a strong magnetic f… more

Induced Activity Calculations in View of the Large Electron Positron Collider Decommissioning

Description: The future installation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the tunnel presently housing the Large Electron Positron collider (LEP) requires the dismantling of the latter after more than 10 years of operation. The decommissioning of an accelerator facility leads to the production of large amounts of waste, which in the case of an electron accelerator mostly is of very low level of radioactivity. LEP is classified as Nuclear Basic Installation (Installation Nucleaire de Base, INB) in France, w… more
