(Test and gather data on sweep spike combination tillage tool)

Description: This summary presents the data accumulated to date with only brief comment. It is prepared with the intent that the viewers will offer advice on terminology, data presentation, methods and other. The year end analysis will detail changes in the data due to the tillage treatments. The data is incomplete due to equipment problems and time limitations due to the wet fall and early freeze up. The trial was not completed due to our inability to get the Mikkelsen Chisel Plow Shovel (MCP), a 16 inch s… more

Thermal-envelop stone house, solar. Final technical report

Description: The purpose of this project is to create a comfortable, low-cost heating system for a single-family house, without dependence on non-renewable energy sources. I have attempted to combine a simple solar air-heating collector with the thermal envelop concept (for thermal air circulation) and massive interior stone walls for heat storage. All building materials, with the exception of the solar glazing material and certain other solar components, are inexpensive and locally produced. Examples are: … more

Investigation of Charge Transport Properties of CdZnTe Detectors with Synchrotron X-ray Radiation

Description: Various internal defects, such as Te inclusions, twin boundaries, dislocation, etc., are prevalent in as-grown CdZnTe (CZT) crystals, which affect the charge transport properties of CZT crystals and, therefore, worsen the performance of CZT detectors. In order to develop high quality CZT detectors, it is imperative to clarify the effects of internal defects on the charge transport properties of CZT. Simple flood illumination with nuclear radiation source cannot reveal the nature of highly local… more

CRUCIBLE TESTING OF TANK 48 RADIOACTIVE WASTE SAMPLE USING FBSR TECHNOLOGY FOR ORGANIC DESTRUCTION

Description: The purpose of crucible scale testing with actual radioactive Tank 48H material was to duplicate the test results that had been previously performed on simulant Tank 48H material. The earlier crucible scale testing using simulants was successful in demonstrating that bench scale crucible tests produce results that are indicative of actual Fluidized Bed Steam Reforming (FBSR) pilot scale tests. Thus, comparison of the results using radioactive Tank 48H feed to those reported earlier with simulan… more

Gypsy Field Project in Reservoir Characterization

Description: The objective of the Gypsy Project was to properly calculate seismic attributes and integrate these into a reservoir characterization project. Significant progress was made on the project in four areas. (1) Attenuation: In order for seismic inversion for rock properties or calculation of seismic attributes used to estimate rock properties to be performed validly, it is necessary to deal with seismic data that has had true amplitude and frequency content restored to account for earth filtering e… more

Maximum credible event determination for the surveillance powder samples and their handling containers

Description: An investigation was done to determine the maximum credible event value for samples of explosives and disassembled components up to 1.2 g when stored in conductive plastic vials as packaged and handled, stored, or transported at Mound. The test was performed at Test Firing, with photographs taken before and after the test. The standard propagation test setup was used; a vial containing 1.2 g of PETN (pentaerythritol tetranitrate) was surrounded by other like vials containing 1.2-g samples of PE… more

Design and testing of Spec 7A containers for packaging radioactive wastes

Description: For a variety of reasons, the containers that have or currently are being used for packaging radioactive waste have drawbacks which has motivated LLNL to investigate, design and destructively test different Type A containers. The result of this work is manifested in the TX-4, which is comparatively lightweight, increases the net payload, and the simplicity of the design and ease in handling have proved to be timesaving. The TX-4 is readily available, relatively inexpensive and practical to use.… more

Reduction of the amount of dichromate added to reactor cooling water: Interim report, Production Test-IP-321-A

Description: Reduced process water treatment costs and incidental benefits of smaller hexavalent chromium discharge to the Columbia River provided incentives to conduct a half-reactor production test. The sodium dichromate (Na{sub 2} Cr{sub 2} O{sub 7}2H{sub 2}O) concentration in process water supplied to the far side of 105-C was lowered from a nominal value of 1.8 to 1.0 parts per million (ppM). This test was started September 26, 1960 and is still in progress. However, a sufficient amount of data is avai… more

PT-IP-759, channel caulking tests: C Reactor

Description: The graphite movement which has occurred at the various reactors has been characterized by two problems: (1) Crooked channels and (2) cracks and miscellaneous voids where pieces of blocks are missing. Of these problems, the cracks and voids have been the most serious in the case of ball drops. Alleviation of the crooked channels can sometimes be accomplished by graphite removal methods such as broaching, but unless some method is found to prevent the balls from entering cracks, the total effect… more

Supplement C to Production Test IP-250-A, Irradiation of Zircaloy-2 jacketed tube and tube elements in the KER loop

Description: The objective of this Supplement described in this report to Pt-IP-250-A is to d enriched tube-and-tube elements will develop pitting corrosion on the Zircaloy-2 jackets when irradiated in pH 10 water. The measurement of dimensional changes in the fuel elements and the observation of the effect of irradiation on the uranium and bond area are also objectives of the test, but secondary in importance to identifying a pitting corrosion problem in NPR quality water, if one exists.

Production Test IP-725, Supplement A: Increased graphite temperature limit F Reactor

Description: The objective of Production Test IP-725 was to investigate the reaction rate between graphite and carbon dioxide in F Reactor at a temperature 50 C higher than that currently permitted by Process Standards. After approval of the test, the temperature limit was increased from 650 to 700 C. After approximately three weeks of operation with the-higher temperature limit, the reactor was shut down and the graphite oxidation monitor samples which had been inserted for this test were discharged and me… more

Geotechnical Assessment and Instrumentation Needs for Nuclear Waste Isolation in Crystalline and Argillaceous Rocks Symposium

Description: Today there exists in the United States a large volume of nuclear wastes that result from both military and commercial activities. The United States has to date placed major emphasis on disposal in only one rock type--salt--whereas other nations have considered other rock types, such as granite in England and Sweden and clays in Belgium. No comprehensive evaluation of isolation in rocks other than salt has been made in the United States, and it is most appropriate that other rock types be evalu… more

Numerical Modeling of 90Sr and 137Cs Transport from a Spill in the B-Cell of the 324 Building, Hanford Site 300 Area

Description: To characterize the extent of contamination under the 324 Building, a pit was excavated on the north side of the building in 2010 by Washington Closure Hanford LLC (WCH). Horizontal closed-end steel access pipes were installed under the foundation of the building from this pit and were used for measuring temperatures and exposure rates under the B-Cell. The deployed sensors measured elevated temperatures of up to 61 C (142 F) and exposure rates of up to 8,900 R/hr. WCH suspended deactivation of… more
