Central receiver solar thermal power system, phase 1. Quarterly progress report for period ending June 30, 1976

Description: The major program activities were aimed toward the fabrication of the three major research experiments and continued evaluation of the pilot plant performance and operating modes. The detail designs were completed early in this period. Effort was continued in the evaluation of pilot plant start transients. Both warm and hot starts from thermal storage were evaluated as was a cold start from the receiver. In the collector subsystem experiment the heliostat structures and drive mechanisms were co… more

A Central Refrigeration System to Support Multiple Environmental Test Chambers: Design, Development, and Evaluation

Description: A pilot plant project was undertaken to develop a central refrigeration compressor station capable of providing the necessary cooling to a network of nine independently-controlled environmental test chambers operating at temperatures of {minus}85{degree}F to 350{degree}F. Design features of the central two-stage (cascade) vapor compression refrigeration system are described. Computer control of the central refrigeration station is a major contribution to the improved efficiency of the overall s… more

Central Station DHC Phase 1 feasibility

Description: This project assisted a private real estate developer in technically assessing the feasibility of integrating a central DHC system into a proposed 72 acre area mixed-use Planned Development (Central Station) just south of the Chicago Central Business District (Loop). The technical assessment concluded that a district heating and cooling system for Central Station will be feasible, provided that a major anchor load can be connected to the system. The system conceived for the site employs a modul… more

Central Thomson scattering upgrade on DIII-D

Description: The existing 36 channel Thomson scattering system on the DIII-D tokamak measures the plasma temperature and density in the core region. However, with the recent interest in core peaked density profiles, coverage needs to be extended into the magnetic axis. This paper addresses the technical issues involved with extending the viewing region from a major radius of 194 cm to 165 cm. At least one of the existing seven core laser beams will be rerouted to probe the plasma horizontally instead of ver… more

The central tracking detectors for D/O/

Description: Three types of drift chambers are being constructed for the Fermilab D/O/ experiment. The construction and readout of these chambers stress good spatial resolution, good two hit separation, and dE/dx. A 106 MHz FADC system with hardware zero suppression is being constructed to readout this system. 8 refs., 12 figs., 1 tab.

The central void reactivity in the Oak Ridge enriched uranium (93.2) metal sphere

Description: The central reactivity void worth was measured in the Oak Ridge unmoderated and unreflected uranium (93.20 wt% {sup 235}U) metal sphere by replacement measurements in a small (0.460-cm-diam) central spherical region in an 8.7427-cm-radius sphere. The central void worth was 9.165 {+-} 0.023 cents using the delayed neutron relative abundances and decay constants of Keepin, Wimett, and Zeigler to obtain the reactivity in cents from the stable reactor period measurements using the Inhour equation. … more

Central Waste Complex (CWC) Waste Analysis Plan

Description: The purpose of this waste analysis plan (WAP) is to document the waste acceptance process, sampling methodologies, analytical techniques, and overall processes that are undertaken for waste accepted for storage at the Central Waste Complex (CWC), which is located in the 200 West Area of the Hanford Facility, Richland, Washington. Because dangerous waste does not include the source special nuclear and by-product material components of mixed waste, radionuclides are not within the scope of this d… more
