TWO AUXILIARY CODES FOR USE WITH RENUPAK

Description: Two IBM-7090 codes were written to aid the user of the neutron moments method code RENUPAK. One code computes and punches response function input cards for RENUPAK or NIOBE (another neutron transport code). The second code reads RENUPAK flux tapes and prints out a compact edit including dose rate as a function of distance. (auth)

Experimental observations and model calculations of impurity radiation in a plasma gun compact torus experiment

Description: Several types of radiation measurements were performed on the Beta II compact forms experiment. Among these are time integrated spectra ranging in wavelength from the vuv to the uv, time resolved bolometer measurements of radiation from the x-ray to the infrared, and time and wavelength resolved measurements of certain spectral lines. It is difficult to relate any one of these measurements to plasma parameters of interest such as temperature, density, or impurity content. In this report we comp… more

Thermal depletion of a geothermal reservoir with both fracture and pore permeability

Description: A method for estimating the useful lifetime of a reservoir in porous rock where the injection and production wells intersect a fracture system is presented. Equations were derived for the pore-fluid and fracture-fluid temperatures averaged over large regions of the geothermal field. Problems such as incomplete areal sweep and interfingering of cool and hot fluids are ignored. Approximate equations relating average temperatures to the heat flowing from rock to fluid were developed, and their use… more

Uniform laser ablative acceleration of targets at 10/sup 14/ W/cm/sup 2/

Description: We present the first detailed investigations of the ablative acceleration of planar targets while simultaneously using high irradiance (10/sup 14/ W/cm/sup 2/), large focal diameters (1 mm) and long laser pulse duration (3 nsec). Included are measurements of target preheat, ablation pressures and uniformity achieved under these conditions. Targets were accelerated to high velocities with velocity profile uniformity approaching that required for high gain pellet implosions.

DISCUSSION OF AN ACTIVATION METHOD FOR MEASURING THE RATIO OF U$sup 238$ ABSORPTION TO U$sup 235$ FISSION IN A REACTOR

Description: The theory is presented in detail of an activation method for measuring the ratio of U/sup 238/ absorptions to U/sup 235/ fissions in a nuclear reactor. The origin of the activities is discussed, the equations are given for interpretation of the measurements, and the expected counting rates are computed for a typical experiment in the EGCR. (auth)
