ANL Micrometeorological Measurements of Particle Sulfur Deposition at the 1981 Dry Deposition Intercomparison Experiment.

Description: The Dry Deposition Intercomparison Experiment conducted in September, 1981, was designed by the Illinois State Water Survey as a pilot effort to evaluate various methods of measuring pollutant dry deposition. A more extensive experiment was planned for June, 1982, when additional and improved techniques were to be implemented. The 1981 study focused on sulfate aerosol, while the 1982 experiment will consider a wider range of particulate substances and some gases. At issue is whether traditional… more

Application of adjusted data in calculating fission-product decay energies and spectra. [ADENA code]

Description: The code ADENA, which approximately calculates fission-product beta and gamma decay energies and spectra in 19 or fewer energy groups from a mixture of /sup 235/U and /sup 239/Pu fuels, is described. The calculation uses aggregate, adjusted data derived from a combination of several experiments and summation results based on the ENDF/B-V fission-product file. The method used to obtain these adjusted data and the method used by ADENA to calculate fission-product decay energy with an absorption c… more

Application of Monte Carlo codes to neutron dosimetry

Description: In neutron dosimetry, calculations enable one to predict the response of a proposed dosimeter before effort is expended to design and fabricate the neutron instrument or dosimeter. The nature of these calculations requires the use of computer programs that implement mathematical models representing the transport of radiation through attenuating media. Numerical, and in some cases analytical, solutions of these models can be obtained by one of several calculational techniques. All of these techn… more

Applications of human factors engineering to LNG release prevention and control

Description: The results of an investigation of human factors engineering and human reliability applications to LNG release prevention and control are reported. The report includes a discussion of possible human error contributions to previous LNG accidents and incidents, and a discussion of generic HF considerations for peakshaving plants. More specific recommendations for improving HF practices at peakshaving plants are offered based on visits to six facilities. The HF aspects of the recently promulgated … more

Assessment of spent-fuel waste-form/stabilizer alternatives for geologic disposal

Description: The Office of Nuclear Waste Isolation (ONWI) is studying the possibility of burying canisterized unreprocessed spent fuel in a deep geologic repository. One aspect of this study is an assessment of the possible spent fuel waste forms. The fuel performance portion of the Waste Form Assessment was to evaluate five candidate spent fuel waste forms for postemplacement performance with emphasis on their ability to retard the release of radionuclides to the repository geology. Spent fuel waste forms … more

Beryllium-beryllium oxide filter difference spectrometer

Description: A successful experimental program has been initiated on the filter difference spectrometer. The instrument is most appropriate for energy transfers from about 50 to 600 MeV when moderate energy resolution is sufficient and a high count rate of importance. The difference technique is well enough understood so that peak positions, line widths and integrated intensities can be determined from fairly complex spectra. Several improvements to the instrument are in progress. An important change will b… more

Bolometer for measurements on high-temperature plasmas

Description: A bolometer has been developed, based on a thin, die-cut platinum grid. It can survive high temperatures and the neutron and gamma radiation expected in the Toroidal Fusion Test Factor (TFTR). The platinum resistance is measured with a square-wave carrier system to minimize sensitivity to ambient electromagnetic interference. Electrical power fed back to the sensor holds its temperature constant and provides an output directly proportional to absorbed radiation power. With a bandwidth of 50 Hz … more

A-bomb survivor dosimetry update

Description: A-bomb survivor data have been generally accepted as applicable. Also, the initial radiations have tended to be accepted as the dominant radiation source for all survivors. There was general acceptance of the essential reliability of both the biological effects data and the causative radiation dose values. There are considerations casting doubt on these acceptances, but very little quantification of th implied uncertainties has been attempted. The exception was A-bomb survivor dosimetry, where … more

BWR containment failure analysis during degraded-core accidents

Description: This paper presents a containment failure mode analysis during a spectrum of postulated degraded core accident sequences in a typical 1000-MW(e) boiling water reactor (BWR) with a Mark-I wetwell containment. Overtemperature failure of containment electric penetration assemblies (CEPAs) has been found to be the major failure mode during such accidents.

Carcinogenesis and low-level ionizing radiation with special reference to lung cancer and exposure to radon daughters

Description: The quantitative estimation of the carcinogenic risk of low-dose, high-LET radiation in the case of exposure to radon daughters and lung-cancer is subject to numerous uncertainties. The greatest of these concerns the parametric values of the dose-response curve. We lack knowledge and an understanding of the dosimetry and the distribution of aggregates of radioactivity that remain localized as hot spots in specific regions of the lungs and the influence on greater or lesser risk of lung cancer p… more

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
