Absorption-Multistage Flash Distillation Process

Description: "The major factors which influence the cost of water production from sea water by distillation methods are (1) the cost of fuel or energy required by the distilling plant, and (2) the required capital investment. Preliminary studies on the application of absorption or solution cycles to distillation methods for saline water conversion indicated that the fuel cost or thermal economy of a distillation plant could be improved by combining the distillation process with an absorption or solution cyc… more

Aerospace Safety Re-Entry Analytical and Experimental Program, SNAP 2 and 10A (Interim Report)

Description: Before a reactor is launched into a satellite orbit about the Earth, the hazards to the population must necessarily be considered in the event that the reactor re-enters the Earth' s atmosphere and possibly impacts with the ground. Analytical and experimental efforts for calculating these potential hazards as they apply to SNAP-2 and -10A are described. (auth)

ARMF II REGULATING ROD READOUT AND SHIM ROD DRIVE AND POSITION DISPLAY

Description: A description of the digital readout and drive portion of the Advanced Reactivity Measurement Facility II is presented along with the philosophy used in selecting the system block diagram and components, accuracy considerations, and a preliminary evaluation of performance and usability. The presentation discourages duplicating of the equipment; advantage should be taken of the opportunity to improve upon it. To this end guideposts are provided as well as a documentation of those aspects of the … more

A Basis for the Computation of the Energy Dependence of the Neutron Flux and Slowing Down Density in a Bare Reactor

Description: A method is described for the computation of the energy dependence of the neutron flux and slowing down density in a bare reactor to form the basis of a 7090 Fortran computer program for survey studies of power reactors. Allowance is made for resonance absorption and resonance fission, neutron thermalisation, fast neutron reactions including (n, 2n) and (n, n), and anisotropic elastic scattering.

THE COEFFICIENTS CONNECTING THE STARK AND FIELD-FREE WAVE FUNCTIONS FOR HYDROGEN: THEORY AND APPLICATION TO LORENTZ DISSOCIATION

Description: A general expression for the expansion coefficients connecting the Stark (parabolic coordinates) and field-free (spherical coordinates) wave functions for hydrogen is obtained. Numerical tables of these coefficients through principal quantum number n = 10 are given. In the course of the derivation several new identities involving generalized hypergeometric functions are deduced. Applications to radiative attenuation, particularly in connection with the ALICE experiment, are discussed. It is con… more

Computer Information Center

Description: The purpose of the Computer Information Center is to stimulate the production of documentation and to make it readily available to computer users within the Laboratory. In addition, the Center will endeavor to obtain all publications of programming and machine manuals pertinent to LRL.For the Computer Information Center to be effective, it is essential that its coverage be as complete as possible. Computer users who have written programs or subroutines are therefore urged to submit write-ups fo… more

Control of the Dissolved Gases in the Moderator of the HWCTR

Description: The Heavy Water Components Test Reactor (HWCTR) is used to test prototype fuel elements for power reactors that are moderated with heavy water and fueled with natural or slightly enriched uranium. During the initial critical experiments in the HWCTR, it was observed that there were unexpected variations in nuclear reactivity. Investigations revealed that this effect was due to bubble of helium gas appearing and disappearing in the moderator. An examination of the expected operating conditions… more
