The comparison of DYNA3D to approximate solutions for a partially- full waste storage tank subjected to seismic loading

Description: Mathematical solutions to the problem consisting of a partially-full waste tank subjected to seismic loading, embedded in soil, is classically difficult in that one has to address: soil-structure interaction, fluid-structure interaction, non-linear behavior of material, dynamic effects. Separating the problem and applying numerous assumptions will yield approximate solutions. This paper explores methods for generating these solutions accurately.

Characterization of the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) Environmental Assessment (EA) glass standard reference material. [Site Characterization]

Description: Liquid high-level nuclear waste at the Savannah River Site (SRS) will be immobilized by vitrification in borosilicate glass. The glass will be produced and poured into stainless steel canisters in the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF). Other waste form producers, such as West Valley Nuclear Services (WVNS) and the Hanford Waste Vitrification Project (HWVP), will also immobilize high-level radioactive waste in borosilicate glass. The canistered waste will be stored temporarily at each fac… more

Plutonium oxide dissolution

Description: Several processing options for dissolving plutonium oxide (PuO[sub 2]) from high-fired materials have been studied. The scoping studies performed on these options were focused on PuO[sub 2] typically generated by burning plutonium metal and PuO[sub 2] produced during incineration of alpha contaminated waste. At least two processing options remain applicable for dissolving high-fired PuO[sub 2] in canyon dissolvers. The options involve solid solution formation of PuO[sub 2] With uranium oxide (U… more

Electrokinetic migration studies on removal of chromium and uranyl ions from 904-A trench soil

Description: This report describes a laboratory-scale study, in which electrokinetic migration technology was used to remove chromium and uranium, as well as other ions, from soil taken from a bore hole adjacent to the 904-A trench at the Savannah River Technology Center. Imposition of an electric current on humid (not saturated) soil successfully caused cations to migrate through the pore water of the soil to the cathode, where they were captured in an ISOLOCKTm polymer matrix and in a cation exchange resi… more

Developing integrated benchmarks for DOE performance measurement

Description: The objectives of this task were to describe and evaluate selected existing sources of information on occupational safety and health with emphasis on hazard and exposure assessment, abatement, training, reporting, and control identifying for exposure and outcome in preparation for developing DOE performance benchmarks. Existing resources and methodologies were assessed for their potential use as practical performance benchmarks. Strengths and limitations of current data resources were identifie… more

Intelligent distributed control for nuclear power plants. Third annual technical progress report, September 1991--October 1992

Description: This project was initiated in September 1989 as a three year project to develop and demonstrate Intelligent Distributed Control (IDC) for Nuclear Power Plants. The body of this Third Annual Technical Progress report summarizes the period from September 1991 to October 1992. There were two primary goals of this research project. The first goal was to combine diagnostics and control to achieve a highly automated power plant as described by M.A. Schultz. His philosophy, is to improve public percep… more

Setting priorities for action plans at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Final report

Description: This report summarizes work done by Applied Decision Analysis (ADA) for Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) under Subcontract Number 9-XQ2-Y3837-1 with the University of California. The purpose of this work was to develop a method of setting priorities for environmental, safety, and health (ES&H) deficiencies at Los Alamos. The deficiencies were identified by a DOE Tiger Team that visited LANL in the fall of 1991, and by self assessments done by the Laboratory. ADA did the work described here… more

Detection of nitroesters and moisture in combustible cartridge case wall by indicator strips and instruments. Final report

Description: Nitroester migration into the case wall from the propellant and moisture accumulation within the case have been identified as important internal and external (respectively) factors which contribute to the physical deterioration of combustible cartridge case (ccc) munitions. The latter factor also may hinder proper ignition of the ccc and cause incomplete combustion in firing. Visual indicators sensitive to these factors and affixed to ccc rounds would allow quality assurance specialists or gun … more

Investigation of high strains at the bottom of the Los Alamos confinement vessel

Description: In helping Los Alamos to understand the vessel response of explosive confinement vessels, APTEK has provided analysis of a 6 foot diameter vessel subjected to a spherical explosive blast. Correlations between analysis and test were very good except at the bottom of the vessel. A beating response was seen in the tests which reinforced the primary response mode at the bottom of the vessel, possibly to the extent of causing local yielding at the bottom. The authors did not predict the beating resp… more

Base sequence effects on interactions of aromatic mutagens with DNA

Description: The chemical binding of bulky, mutagenic and carcinogenic polynuclear aromatic compounds to certain base-sequences in genomic DNA is known to inhibit DNA replication, and to induce mutations and cancer. In particular, sequences that contain multiple consecutive guanines appear to be hot spots of mutation. The objectives of this research are to determine how the base sequence around the mutagen-modified target bases influences the local DNA conformation and gives rise to mispairing of bases, or … more

Description: The third and last quarterly report of 1992 on the Catalytic conversion of Light Alkanes reviews the work done between July, 1992 and September 30, 1992 on the Cooperative Agreement. The mission of this work is to devise a new catalyst which can be used in a simple economic process to convert the light alkanes in natural gas to oxygenate products which can either be used as clean-burning, high octane liquid fuels, as fuel components or as precursors to liquid hydrocarbon transportation fuel.
