Sensitivity and uncertainty investigations for Hiroshima dose estimates and the applicability of the Little Boy mockup measurements

Description: This paper describes sources of uncertainty in the data used for calculating dose estimates for the Hiroshima explosion and details a methodology for systematically obtaining best estimates and reduced uncertainties for the radiation doses received. (ACR)

Impact analyses after pipe rupture. [PWR; BWR]

Description: Two of the French pipe whip experiments are reproduced with the computer code WIPS. The WIPS results are in good agreement with the experimental data and the French computer code TEDEL. This justifies the use of its pipe element in conjunction with its U-bar element in a simplified method of impact analyses.

Detonation E. O. S. patterns for several explosives

Description: The available overdriven shockwave data for a number of explosives have been analyzed and compared. The data follow neither a constant gamma pattern nor the JWL EOS that fits expansion data to high accuracy. Modifications of the JWL function are proposed to correct for discrepancies and also to allow for the appropriate volume dependence of the Grueneisen constant indicated by previous and more recent work. The deviations from the JWL form of the equation of state appear directly above the CJ p… more
