1,4-diphenylbutadiyne as a potential tritium getter

Description: Research on the acetylene compound 1,4-diphenylbutadiyne is an effort to develop an air-operative tritium gas scavenger. T/sub 2/ adds to the acetylene bond of the organic in the presence of a metal catalyst. The catalyst also stimulates the oxidation reaction as well. The butadiyne compound has shown good reaction efficiency at 300 ppM T/sub 2/ in static dry air. At this concentration 75% of the scavenged tritium was in the organic. This work has expanded to the investigation of liquid acetyle… more

Acoustic Emission Under Biaxial Stresses in Unflawed 21-6-9 and 304 Stainless Steel

Description: Acoustic emission (AE) testing has been carried out with uniaxial and biaxial (2:1 stress ratio) stressing of smooth samples of 21-6-9 and 304 stainless steel (SS). Uniaxial testing was done with simple tensile and compression samples as well as with the special biaxial specimens. Biaxial tensile stressing was accomplished with a specially designed specimen, which had been used previously to characterize AE in 7075 aluminum under biaxial stressing. Results were obtained for air-melt and for vac… more

Advanced system demonstration for utilization of biomass as an energy source

Description: The results of the study investigations confirm the feasibility of collecting 1000 oven dry tons of biomass per day to fuel a 510,000 lb/hr boiler operating in a congeneration mode and producing steam and electricity. This study was based on the supply of a significant portion of the facility's biomass fuel by tree harvesting and collection operations within a 50 mile radius of the plant site. These operations, including transporting biomass to the conversion plant, would pose no threat to the … more

AJAX User's Guide

Description: AJAX is a computer program which processes programs written in DIGITAL FORTRAN-IV PLUS language, and produces new versions of these programs. The most important feature of a program produced by AJAX is that the numbered statements in the program will be renumbered such that they will be monotonically increasing from start to finish. Other formatting features are available as options. AJAX is written in VAX FORTRAN-IV PLUS language and runs on version 1.6 of the VMS operating system.

ALLDOS: A Computer Program for Calculation of Radiation Doses From Airborne and Waterborne Releases

Description: The computer code ALLDOS is described and instructions for its use are presented. ALLDOS generates tables of radiation doses to the maximum individual and the population in the region of the release site. Acute or chronic release of radionuclides may be considered to airborne and waterborne pathways. The code relies heavily on data files of dose conversion factors and environmental transport factors for generating the radiation doses. A source inventory data library may also be used to generate… more

Alpha Particle Confinement in Tandem Mirrors

Description: Mechanisms leading to loss of alpha particles from non-axisymmetric tandem mirrors are considered. Stochastic diffusion due to bounce-drift resonances, which can cause rapid radial losses of high-energy alpha particles, can be suppressed by imposing a 20% rise in axisymmetric fields before the quadrupole transition sections. Alpha particles should then be well-confined until thermal energies when they enter the resonant plateau require. A fast code for computation of drift behavior in reactors … more

Alternate protection concepts for second surface silver/glass solar mirrors

Description: Investigations into three technologies having the potential of significantly enhancing the durability of solar mirrors are reported. The approaches are based on the assumption that sealing the silver layer on second surface mirrors from the external environment with protective overcoats will significantly extend their useful service life. Considered are: (1) edge sealing a second sheet of glass over the silver layer using solder glasses, (2) overcoating the silver layer with liquid applied SiO/… more
