A 2-MV multi-beam injector for heavy ion fusion

Description: Construction of a sixteen beam (0.5 A per beam) injector for use in scaled heavy ion fusion experiments is underway at LBL. The machine was designed and partially constructed at LANL. The injector is designed to use carbon arc sources which will provide 25 mA/cm/sup 2/ of extractable current density. The plasma from the arcs is confined electrostatically from drifting into the ion gun before firing the extraction pulse. The acceleration column consists of a set of aperture lenses which both tra… more

2, Pulse-mode expansions and refractive indices in plane-wave propagation

Description: This memo presents basic background theory for treating simultaneous propagation of electromagnetic pulses of various colors, directed along a common ray, through a molecular vapor. The memo discusses some techniques for expanding the positive frequency part of the transverse electric field into pulse modes, characterized by carrier frequencies within a modulated envelope. We discuss, in the approximation of plane waves with slowly varying envelopes, a set of uncoupled envelope equations in whi… more

3-D hybrid PIC code to model the tilt mode in FRCs

Description: The results from QN3D are presented. QN3D is a 3-dimensional hybrid particle-in-cell code designed to run efficiently on the Cray-2 Multiprocessor. The chief application has been to the tilt mode instability in FRCs. QN3D accepts as input, the magnetic field, the ion particle density and the ion temperature on a two-dimensional r-z grid. These quantities are interpolated to the rest of the cartesian grid under the assumption of azimuthal symmetry. The particles are initialized with random numbe… more

3-megajoule heavy-ion fusion driver

Description: The initiation of inertial confinement fusion reactions with a heavy ion particle beam has been under intensive study since 1976, and the progress of this study is principally documented in the proceedings of annual workshops held by US National Laboratories. At this time a 3MJ, 150 TW, ion beam is a good choice to initiate microexplosions with energy gain of 100. The Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory has made systems studies based on a Linear Induction Accelerator to meet the beam requirements. The… more

5. 8 GHz ophthalmic microwave applicator for treatment of choroidal melanoma

Description: We report on the use of a 5.8 GHz microwave applicator to treat choroidal melanoma (Greene) in rabbits. The physical requirements needed to treat these intraocular tumors are quite different from those encountered elsewhere in the body. From a trans-scleral approach the penetration needed is minimal (5 to 10 mm.). The fibrous sclera is the only structure between the heat source and the tumor. The sclera has a relatively low water content when compared to tumor. This fact in addition to the freq… more

800-MWe HTGR-gas-turbine two-loop electric plant

Description: The design and development of the electric plant for the HTGR-Gas Turbine (GT) present a radical departure in accommodating the electrical requirements of the nuclear heat system and the balance of plant. To address not only these requirements but also codes and standards (for power plants and safety-grade systems), the evolution of the design dictates the application of innovative and unique solutions. The complexity of the GT plant and the criteria for nuclear power stations are substantial r… more

The 1987 Federal field exercise: The DOE experience

Description: The second full-scale field exercise of the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP) was held at the Zion Nuclear Power Station, Zion, Illinois, in June 1987. The exercise incorporated the annual compliance exercise for the Zion plant and involved the operating utility, Commonwealth Edison Company, the states of Illinois and Wisconsin, local governments, volunteer groups, and representatives from 12 federal agencies. The 3-day exercise was played from many locations in the Zion area… more

Ablative fast pyrolysis of biomass in the entrained-flow cyclonic reactor at SERI

Description: Progress with the entrained flow cyclonic reactor at SERI is detailed. Feedstocks successfully used include wood flour and fairly large sawdust. Preliminary results show that relatively complete vaporization of the biomass is realized and that the yields of tar or gas can be varied over quite a range with trends following first order kinetic concepts.

Abort kicker power supply systems at Fermilab

Description: Over the past several years, Fermilab has been operating with a single turn proton abort system in both the superconducting Tevatron and the conventional Main Ring. The abort kicker power supply for this system discharges a lumped capacitance into the inductive magnet load, causing the beam to enter the abort channel. The characteristics of this current waveform are defined by the requirements of the machine operation. The standard fixed target running mode calls for 12 booster batches of beam … more

Absorption spectrophotometric characterization of Sm(II), Sm(III), and Sm(II/III) bromides and Sm(III) oxybromide in the solid state

Description: Absorption spectra obtained from SmBr/sub 3/, SmBr/sub 2/, and Sm0Br were used in identifying the samarium species in several mixed-valence Sm(II/III) compounds produced by H/sub 2/ reduction of SmBr/sub 3/. The nature of the absorption of Sm0Br made it possible to detect even traces of Sm0Br in the Sm bromides.

Acceleration to hypervelocities using minimum energy concepts

Description: Experiments have begun at Los Alamos to assess the potential of using spheromaks to transfer energy from large, slow moving metal walls to much smaller, faster moving less massive walls so as to achieve hypervelocities in the 20 to 60 km/s range. A large plate transfers energy to the spheromak during a slow compression. The spheromak then releases this energy in a much shorter time to the small plate, accelerating it to much higher velocity. It has been estimated that velocity gains in excess o… more

Accelerator breeders: will they replace liquid metal fast breeders

Description: Investigation of accelerator breeders at Brookhaven National Laboratory indicate that the AB-LWR fuel cycle is economically competitive with the LMFBR fuel cycle. The same can be said about the accelerator breeder-High Temperature Gas Reactor symbiosis. This system appears to be very competitive with the added real advantage of superior safety and proliferation resistance. This discussion would be incomplete if the real competitor to accelerator breeding was not mentioned, namely Fusion Hybrid … more

Accelerator research on MBE-4, an experimental multi-beam induction linac

Description: The multiple beam accelerator MBE-4 is a device for research toward a heavy ion driver for inertial confinement fusion, based on the induction linac concept. Its main goal is proof of the principle of current amplification by acceleration and controlled self-similar beam pulse compression. Into the 16-m long device four beams, each with an initial current of 10 mA are injected from a Marx-driven diode at 200 keV. The current amplification is up to nine-fold, with a final beam energy of about 80… more

ACDOS2: an improved neutron-induced dose rate code

Description: To calculate the expected dose rate from fusion reactors as a function of geometry, composition, and time after shutdown a computer code, ACDOS2, was written, which utilizes up-to-date libraries of cross-sections and radioisotope decay data. ACDOS2 is in ANSI FORTRAN IV, in order to make it readily adaptable elsewhere.

Achromatic beam combiner and bend system for ILSE (Induction Linac System Experiment)

Description: The lattice configuration of the beam combiner and bend system of the proposed Induction Linac System Experiment (ILSE) is described. These subsystems must transport high current ion beams with large momentum variations within a single pulse (..delta..P/P/sub 0/ less than or equal to +-.1), with minimal beam loss or emittance growth. Configurations which are achromatic through first order, including the effect of image fields have been developed. Calculations of the beam envelope and centroid m… more
