On-Line Microbial Whole Effluent Toxicity Monitoring for Industrial Wastewater

Description: In this study a respirometer is tested for its ability to act as an early upset warning device and whole effluent toxicity monitor for industrial discharge. Industrial discharge water quality is commonly evaluated by comparing measured chemical concentrations to target values or regulatory limits established by governmental agencies. Unless the regulatory values are based upon empirical data, the actual effect of the discharge on aquatic systems is unknown. At the same time assessing the enviro… more

Fuel Summary Report: Shippingport Light Water Breeder Reactor - Rev. 2

Description: The Shippingport Light Water Breeder Reactor (LWBR) was developed by Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory to demonstrate the potential of a water-cooled, thorium oxide fuel cycle breeder reactor. The LWBR core operated from 1977-82 without major incident. The fuel and fuel components suffered minimal damage during operation, and the reactor testing was deemed successful. Extensive destructive and nondestructive postirradiation examinations confirmed that the fuel was in good condition with minimal am… more

Evolution of the unsaturated zone testing at Yucca Mountain

Description: The evaluation of the Yucca Mountain site has evolved from intensive surface based investigations in the early 1980s to current focus on testing in underground drifts. Different periods of site-characterization activities and prominent issues concerning the unsaturated zone are summarized. Data-collection activities have evolved from mapping of faults and fractures, to estimation of percolation through tuff layers, and to quantification of seepage into drifts. Evaluation of discrete flow paths … more

Characterization of Corrosion Products from Static Cell Testing of Al-SNF Forms

Description: Aluminum-based spent nuclear fuel from foreign and domestic research reactors is being consolidated at the Savannah River Site (SRS) for ultimate disposal in the Monitored Geologic Repository. The melt-dilute treatment technology has been developed to consolidate fuel assemblies by a melting/casting process in which depleted uranium is added to reduce enrichment below 20 percent 235-U. The melt-dilute product is essentially a binary uranium-aluminum alloy to which neutron absorber materials may… more

IMPACT OF CAPILLARY AND BOND NUMBERS ON RELATIVE PERMEABILITY

Description: Recovery and recovery rate of oil, gas and condensates depend crucially on their relative permeability. Relative permeability in turn depends on the pore structure, wettability and flooding conditions, which can be represented by a set of dimensionless groups including capillary and bond numbers. The effect of flooding conditions on drainage relative permeabilities is not well understood and is the overall goal of this project. This project has three specific objectives: to improve the centrifu… more

Study of Transportation of Gtl Products From Alaskan North Slope (ANS) to Markets

Description: The Alaskan North Slope is one of the largest hydrocarbon reserves in the US where Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) technology can be successfully implemented. The proven and recoverable reserves of conventional natural gas in the developed and undeveloped fields in the Alaskan North Slope (ANS) are estimated to be 38 trillion standard cubic feet (TCF) and estimates of additional undiscovered gas reserves in the Arctic field range from 64 TCF to 142 TCF. Transportation of the natural gas from the remote AN… more

Physics division annual report 2001.

Description: This research involves investigating the structure, stability, reactions and decays of nuclei. This information is crucial for understanding the evolution of the universe, the workings of stars and the abundances of the elements that form the world around us. A forefront area of research is investigating the properties of nuclei which lie very far from stability, and which are critical in understanding nucleosynthesis. Most of our research is based at the Argonne Tandem-Linac Accelerator (ATLAS… more

Long Term Corrosion Potential Behavior of Alloy 22 in Yucca Mountain Relevant Environments

Description: The approach of isolating high-level nuclear waste in the designated site of Yucca Mountain (Nevada) is to separate it from the environment using a series of engineering and natural barriers. The container for the waste will consist of two concentric metal cylinders. The outer cylinder is going to be fabricated of Alloy 22 (N06022). If water is present at the site, several corrosion processes may occur. These include passive or general corrosion, localized corrosion and environmentally assisted… more

The Terascale Simulation Tools and Technologies Center Annual Report August 15, 2001-September 30, 2002

Description: The overall goal of the TSTT Center is to enable the scientific community to more easily use modern high-order, adaptive, parallel mesh and discretization tools. To achieve this goal, we are following three distinct but related paths. The first is to work directly with a number of lead application teams (for the most part SciDAC-funded) to use such technologies in their application domains. The second is to create new technology that eases the use of such tools, not only for our designated appl… more

Investigations of Low Temperature Time Dependent Cracking

Description: The objective of this project was to investigate metallurgical and mechanical phenomena associated with time dependent cracking of cold bent carbon steel piping at temperatures between 327 C and 360 C. Boiler piping failures have demonstrated that understanding the fundamental metallurgical and mechanical parameters controlling these failures is insufficient to eliminate it from the field. The results of the project consisted of the development of a testing methodology to reproduce low temperat… more
