CASIM predictions of Meson West Tevatron target soil activation

Description: A new Meson West Target has been proposed for Tevatron II. The dump design proposed by David Eartly is shown. A longitudinal side view of the dump and the shield for target produced muons is shown. The core of the dump is seen to be a copper plate surrounding the beam. The copper is surrounded by iron, which is in turn shielded by concrete. The tunnel is embedded in sand and gravel. The sand and gravel within 3' of the concrete is continuously drained by underdrains. Soil below the top of the u… more

Flat-Rate Tax Proposals

Description: In recent months there has been a growing congressional interest in the advantages and disadvantages of revamping our current tax system for a flat-rate tax method. Supporters of the new proposal argue that such a plan would promote productivity, simplify present IRS tax forms, save the public billions of dollars that presently go to tax-preparation professionals, and enhance Federal revenue by closing numerous tax loopholes and special deductions that are now enjoyed by relatively few.

Plutonium-aerosol emission rates and human pulmonary deposition calculations for Nuclear Site 201, Nevada Test Site

Description: This study determined the plutonium-aerosol fluxes from the soil to quantify (1) the extent of potential human exposure by deep-lung retention of alpha-emitting particles; (2) the source term should there be any significant, long-term, transport of plutonium aerosols; and (3) the resuspension factor and rate so that, for the first time at any nuclear site, one may calculate how long it will take for wind erosion to carry away a significant amount of the contaminated soil. High-volume air sample… more
