Hanford quarterly seismic monitoring report 96C

Description: Seismic monitoring at the Hanford Site was established in 1969 by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) under a contract with the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. In 1975 the University of Washington assumed responsibility for and expanded the network. In 1979 the Basalt Waste Isolation Program (BWIP) became responsible for collecting seismic data for the site as part of site characterization. Rockwell International Operations followed by Westinghouse Hanford Company (WHC), Geosciences Group… more

TWRS Privatization Phase I waste characterization data evaluation for the request for proposal

Description: Radioactive wastes have been stored in large underground tanks at Hanford since 1944. In 1991, The Tank Waste Remediation System (TWRS) program was established to manage, retrieve, treat, immobilize, and dispose of these wastes in a safe, effective manner. DOE believes that it is feasible to privatize portions of the TWRS program. Under the Privatization strategy embodied in the request for proposal, DOE will purchase services from a contractor-owned, contractor-operated facility under a fixed-… more

Iron aluminide-titanium carbide composites: Microstructure and mechanical properties

Description: Composites of intermetallics and carbides (with binder contents less that 50 vol.%) are considered as potential candidates for applications requiring high wear resistance in corrosive environments. Intermetallics, especially aluminides, provide the corrosion resistance, and the high hardness of the carbide phase contributes to increased wear resistance of the composites. In this study, cost effective and simple processing techniques to obtain FeAl-TiC composites, over a wide range of binder vol… more

Status Report: Pretreatment chemistry evaluation-Wash and leach factors for the single-shell tank waste inventory

Description: This report discusses a methodology developed to depict overall wash and leach factors for the Hanford single-shell tank (SST) inventory. The factors derived from this methodology, which is based on available partitioning data, are applicable to a composite SST inventory rather than only an assumed insoluble portion. The purpose of considering the entire inventory is to provide a more representative picture of the partitioning behavior of the analytes during envisioned waste retrieval and proce… more

Transformation plasticity in ductile solids. Final report, August 1, 1988--November 30, 1995

Description: Throughout history, the development of stronger materials has enabled the realization of countless technological advances. Unfortunately, any increase in strength is rarely achieved without concomitant decreases in toughness and ductility: a fact which severely limits the utility of materials such as ultrahigh-strength alloy steels. Typical precipitation-strengthened stainless steels have very little toughness at high strength levels. In the last decade, however, several investigators have repo… more

Vandose Zone Characterization Project at the Hanford Tank Farms: SX Tank Farm Report

Description: The SX Tank Farm is located in the southwest portion of the 200 West Area of the Hanford Site. This tank farm consists of 15 single-shell tanks (SSTs), each with an individual capacity of 1 million gallons (gal). These tanks currently store high-level nuclear waste that was primarily generated from what was called the oxidation-reduction or {open_quotes}REDOX{close_quotes} process at the S-Plant facility. Ten of the 15 tanks are listed in Hanlon as {open_quotes}assumed leakers{close_quotes} and… more

TWRS privatization support project waste characterization resource dictionary

Description: A single estimate of waste characteristics for each underground storage tanks at the Hanford Site is not available. The information that is available was developed for specific programmatic objectives and varies in format and level of descriptive detail, depending on the intended application. This dictionary reflects an attempt to define what waste characterization information is available. It shows the relationship between the identified resource and the original data source and the inter-rela… more

Thermal reactivity of mixtures of VDDT lubricant and simulated Hanford Tank 241-SY-101 waste

Description: To predict whether the Polywater G lubricant residue remaining in the velocity, density, and temperature tree (VDTT) and the waste in Tank 241-SY-101 (101SY) will be chemically compatible with wastes in 101SY when two VDTTs are removed from 101SY, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory measured the thermal reaction sensitivity of the lubricant residue. This residue is a simulated 101SY waste containing the organic surrogate trisodium hydroxyethyl-ethylenediaminetriacetate (Na{sub 3}HEDTA) an… more

PUREX/UO3 Facilities deactivation lessons learned history

Description: Disconnecting the criticality alarm permanently in June 1996 signified that the hazards in the PUREX (plutonium-uranium extraction) plant had been so removed and reduced that criticality was no longer a credible event. Turning off the PUREX criticality alarm also marked a salient point in a historic deactivation project, 1 year before its anticipated conclusion. The PUREX/UO3 Deactivation Project began in October 1993 as a 5-year, $222.5- million project. As a result of innovations implemented … more

Mapping radionuclide distribution in surface sediments using GIS and an underwater HPGe detector

Description: A radiological distribution survey at the L Lake on the Savannah River Site (SRS) was conducted by the Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) during the summer of 1995 as part of a larger project to examine future alternatives for L Lake and other SRS water bodies. The primary purpose of the survey was to confirm previous radionuclide surveys of Cesium-137 (137Cs) in the L Lake area. EG and G Energy Measurements, Inc. conducted an aerial, baseline radiological survey of the L Lake area and the… more

Free form fabrication of metallic components using laser engineered net shaping (LENS{trademark})

Description: Solid free form fabrication is one of the fastest growing automated manufacturing technologies that has significantly impacted the length of time between initial concept and actual part fabrication. Starting with CAD renditions of new components, several techniques such as stereolithography and selective laser sintering are being used to fabricate highly accurate complex three-dimensional concept models using polymeric materials. Coupled with investment casting techniques, sacrificial polymeric… more

Search for chargino-neutralino associated production via trileptonic final states with DO detector

Description: Preliminary results from a search for the production of an associated lightest chargino, W{sub 1}, and second lightest neutralino, Z{sub 2}, pair with the D0 detector at Fermilab`s pp collider with {radical}s = 1.8 TeV are presented. Based on approximately 85 pb{sup -1} of data collected during the 1993-1995 Tevatron Runs we set a 95% C.L. upper limit on the chargino-neutralino cross section times branching fraction to any trileptonic final state ranging from 0.91 pb to 0.19 pb for wino masses … more

SUGRA-GUT motivated SUSY search in the dielectron channel at D0

Description: In this paper we present a search for events consistent with the production and decay of supersymmetric particles in the Supergravity- GUT framework in the D{null} detector at Fermilab. We examine the 1994-95 Run 1B data for events containing two or more electrons, two or more jets, and a substantial missing transverse energy. This is complementary to the search in the canonical jets and missing transverse energy channel. We observe 2 events in 92.9 pb{sup -1} or the Run 1B data consistent with… more

Consequence analysis of a postulated NaOH release from the 2727-W sodium storage facility

Description: Toxicological and radiological consequences were calculated for a maximum sodium fire in the 2727-W Sodium Storage Facility. The sodium is solid and cannot leak out of the tanks. The maximum fire therefore corresponded to the maximum cross-sectional area of one tank. It was shown that release of the entire facility inventory of 22 Na is insufficient to produce an appreciable effect.
