Calorimetric assay of reactor grade PuO{sub 2}

Description: This paper describes an experiment to estimate random and systematic errors in determining the effective specific power of plutonium. Precisons and accuracies comparable to coulometric assay were demonstrated for a wide range of plutonium isotopic compositions. Thus, calorimetric assay can provide an effective method for plutonium assay of materials in the nuclear fuel cycle.

Continuous Czochralski growth. Silicon sheet growth development of the large area silicon sheet task of the Low Cost Silicon Solar Array Project. First quarterly progress report, October--December 1977

Description: The development of equipment and processes to produce single crystal solar silicon by a continuous Czochralski method was studied. ''Continuous'' is defined as the ability to produce 100 kilograms of crystal from only one melt container. The equipment to be used is a Hamco CG2000 Production Crystal Grower. Certain modifications will be made to the grower to enable periodic replenishment of silicon into the crucible and removal of grown crystals. The crystal grower was constr… more

Energy consumption in the pipeline industry

Description: Estimates are developed of the energy consumption and energy intensity (EI) of five categories of U.S. pipeline industries: natural gas, crude oil, petroleum products, coal slurry, and water. For comparability with other transportation modes, it is desirable to calculate EI in Btu/Ton-Mile, and this is done, although the necessary unit conversions introduce additional uncertainties. Since water and sewer lines operate by lift and gravity, a comparable EI is not definable.

Geologic investigation of the Virgin River Valley salt deposits, Clark County, southeastern Nevada, to investigate their suitability for possible storage of radioactive waste material as of September 1977

Description: The results from a geologic investigation of the Virgin River Valley salt deposits, Clark County, southeastern Nevada, to examine their suitability for further study and consideration in connection with the possible storage of radioactive waste material are given. The results indicate that (1) approximately one-half of the salt body underlies the Overton Arm of Lake Mead and that the dry land portion of the salt body that has a thickness of 1,000 feet or more covers an area of about four and on… more

Investigation of the seismicity at regional and teleseismic distances following underground nuclear detonations. Final technical report

Description: The main emphasis of the investigation was to determine the seismicity of the Nevada Test Site area during a time period which encompassed a lull in the testing program. The time period studied extends from April 1, 1973 to October 1, 1975. The aftershock sequence of nuclear shots fired on Pahute Mesa during late 1975 and early 1976 were also included.

Measuring and Predicting the Dynamic Effects of a Confined Thin Metal Plate Pulse Heated Into the Liquid-Vapor Regime

Description: The dynamic response of a confined thin layer of lead heated rapidly and uniformly to a supercritical state was investigated. Lead targets 0.025 mm and 0.05 mm thick were contained between a thin titanium tamping layer and a thick layer of fused quartz with several different gap widths between the lead and the confining surfaces. After being heated by an electron beam for about 50 ns, lead specimens expanded to a state of approximately half liquid and half vapor. Measurements of the stress in t… more

Volume reduction system for solid and liquid TRU waste from the nuclear fuel cycle. Quarterly report, October--December, 1976

Description: The primary objective of this project is to provide design criteria for a volume reduction system to treat combustible solids and liquids generated in the nuclear fuel cycle. Progress has been made in each of the major areas of interest. Primary emphasis has been in the design and purchasing of equipment for liquid feed mechanisms and in evaluating technology available for compaction of empty waste containers. Contacts have been made with several commercial firms involved in various areas of th… more

Case study of total energy plant at the Kansas City TWA overhaul base

Description: This case study evaluates the reasons for TWA's 1969 decision to build a total energy plant at its Kansas City overhaul base. Total energy was bought on the basis that it would reduce energy costs and, at the same time, provide more reliable and higher quality electric power. Reasons why these expectations did not materialize are analyzed, along with operational statistics, and total energy versus purchased power costs, forming a record that can aid the Department of Energy in determining the e… more

Dip-coating process. Silicon sheet growth development for the large-area silicon sheet task of the low-cost silicon solar array project. Quarterly report No. 7

Description: The objective of this research program is to investigate the technical and economic feasibility of producing solar-cell-quality sheet silicon by coating one surface of carbonized ceramic substrates with a thin layer of large-grain polycrystalline silicon from the melt. During the past quarter, significant progress was demonstrated in several areas. Seeded growth of silicon-on-ceramic (SOC) with an EFG ribbon seed was demonstrated. Different types of mullite received from Coors were successfully… more
