High heat generation safety issue in tank 241-C-106

Description: A `White` paper was written on the High Heat Generation Safety Issue in Tank 241-C-106. The issue is if tank 241-C-106 should start leaking, the lack of alternative cooling methods will require continued addition of water and thereby possibly increase the amount of leakage to the ground. If the current methods of cooling the tank are stopped, the sludge and concrete structure will heat to temperatures greater than established limits and may cause structural damage, leading to dome collapse and … more

Thermal contact resistance for a CU/G-10CR interface in a cylindrical geometry

Description: A major component of a high-T[sub c] superconductor current lead designed to provide current to low-T[sub c] superconductor magnets is the heat intercept connection, which is a cylindrical structure consisting of an inner Cu disk, a thin-walled G-10CR composite tube, and an outer Cu ring, assembled by a thermal interference fit. It was determined in a previous study that the thermal contact resistance (R[sub c]) between the composite tube and the two Cu pieces contributed a substantial portion … more

Applications of mathematical analysis of nonlinear physical systems

Description: This is the final report of a three-year, Laboratory-Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). In this project we have sought to acquire the basic theoretical and computational capabilities needed to advance our understanding of the physical sciences. We concentrated on physical systems governed by transport equations. Transport equations were chosen because they govern many critical technologies. They govern the flow of carriers in semicondu… more

Inclusive jet cross section in p{bar p} collisions with the D0 detector

Description: The authors report on two preliminary measurements of the central inclusive jet cross section at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV. The two data sets with integrated luminosities of 91 pb{sup {minus}1} and 14 pb{sup {minus}1} were collected at the Fermilab Tevatron p{bar p} Collider with the D0 detector. The cross section, reported as a function of transverse jet energy 35 GeV {le} E{sub {tau}} {le} 470 GeV and in the pseudorapidity interval {vert_bar}{eta}{vert_bar} {le} 0.5, is in excellent agreement with… more

A measurement of the ratio of W + 1 jet to W + 0 jets cross sections and comparisons to QCD

Description: A preliminary measurement of the ratio, R{sup 10}, of the production cross sections for W + 1 Jet and W + 0 Jets processes at {radical}s = 1,800 GeV by the D0 Collaboration is presented. A comparison of this ratio is made to next-to-leading order calculations and the implications of these comparisons, especially for the extraction of a value for the strong coupling constant {alpha}{sub s}(M{sub W}{sup 2}), are discussed.

Direct photon measurements by the D{O} experiment

Description: We report a measurement of the cross section for production of isolated photons with transverse energy E{sub T} > 12 GeV in the central (absolute value of {eta} < 0.9) and forward (1.6 < absolute value of {eta} < 2.5) rapidity regions for {bar p}p collisions at center of mass energy {radical}s = 1.8 TeV, using an integrated luminosity of 13 pb{sup {minus}1}. The cross section is compared with a next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD calculation. We also present preliminary measurements of the center o… more

Terminal ballistics of a reduced-mass penetrator. Final report, January 1990--December 1995

Description: This report presents the results of an experimental program to examine the performance of a reduced-mass concept penetrator impacting semi-infinite rolled homogeneous armor (RHA) at normal incidence. The reduced-mass penetrator used in this program is a solid tungsten alloy rod with eight holes drilled parallel to its axis, equally spaced on a circle, with axes parallel to the rod axis. Its performance was contrasted with baseline data for length-to- diameter ratios (L/D) 4 and 5 solid tungsten… more

Search for a fourth generation charge {minus}1/3 quark via flavor changing neutral currents

Description: There is some likelihood that a light (< m{sub t}) fourth generation charge -1/3 quark (b{prime}) would decay predominantly via loop induced flavor changing neutral currents. The charged current decay of b{prime} to charm would be highly Cabibbo suppressed due to the fact that it changes the generation number by two. The D0 experiment has searched for b{prime} pair production where one or both b{prime} quarks decays via b{prime} {r_arrow} b+{gamma}, giving signatures photon + three jets and two… more

WESF natural phenomena hazards survey

Description: A team of engineers conducted a systematic natural hazards phenomena (NPH) survey for the 225-B Waste Encapsulation and Storage Facility (WESF). The survey is an assessment of the existing design documentation to serve as the structural design basis for WESF, and the Interim Safety Basis (ISB). The lateral force resisting systems for the 225-B building structures, and the anchorages for the WESF safety related systems were evaluated. The original seismic and other design analyses were technical… more

Modeling water retention of sludge simulants and actual saltcake tank wastes

Description: The Ferrocyanide Tanks Safety Program managed by Westinghouse hanford Company has been concerned with the potential combustion hazard of dry tank wastes containing ferrocyanide chemical in combination with nitrate salts. Pervious studies have shown that tank waste containing greater than 20 percent of weight as water could not be accidentally ignited. Moreover, a sustained combustion could not be propagated in such a wet waste even if it contained enough ferrocyanide to burn. Because moisture c… more

Parallel community climate model: Description and user`s guide

Description: This report gives an overview of a parallel version of the NCAR Community Climate Model, CCM2, implemented for MIMD massively parallel computers using a message-passing programming paradigm. The parallel implementation was developed on an Intel iPSC/860 with 128 processors and on the Intel Delta with 512 processors, and the initial target platform for the production version of the code is the Intel Paragon with 2048 processors. Because the implementation uses a standard, portable message-passin… more

Technical basis for classification of low-activity waste fraction from Hanford site tanks

Description: The overall objective of this report is to provide a technical basis to support a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission determination to classify the low-activity waste from the Hanford Site single-shell and double-shell tanks as `incidental` wastes after removal of additional radionuclides and immobilization.The proposed processing method, in addition to the previous radionuclide removal efforts, will remove the largest practical amount of total site radioactivity, attributable to high-level wast… more
