Analysis of high-density areas in beryllium hemishells

Description: Small areas of high and low radiographic density in hot-pressed beryllium were studied by macroetching and optical and electron microscopy. The areas were either semispherical or wormlike in shape and were found to be agglomerates of grains markedly coarser or finer than the matrix. (auth)

EPRI geothermal energy R and D 5-year program plan (1975 to 1979)

Description: The recommended EPRI Geothermal Research and Development 5-Year Program Plan has been defined to complement and provide focus for federally sponsored geothermal energy R and D efforts. The scope of the program includes: verification of hydrothermal reservoir capability and low salinity brine heat transfer characteristics at a potential demonstration site followed by design, development and construction of a low salinity hydrothermal demonstration plant in conjunction with an electric utility or… more

LMFBR technology. FFTF cover-gas leakage calculation

Description: The FFTF LMFBR is intended to have a near zero release of radioactive gases during normal reactor operation with 1% failed fuel. This report presents calculations which provide an approximation of these cover gas leakages. Data from ongoing static and dynamic seal leak tests at AI are utilized. Leakage through both elastomeric and metallic seals in all sub-assemblies and penetrations comprising the reactor cover gas containment during reactor operation system are included.

Physics of mirror reactors and devices

Description: BS>From surface effects in controlled thermonuclear fusion devices and reactors Meeting; Argonne, Illinois, USA (10 Jan 1974). The physics of plasma confinement using the magnetic mirror principle is discussed, and the unique features of the mirror reactor approach to fusion are discussed and compared to the toroidal confinement approach.

Surface requirements for electrostatic direct energy converters

Description: From surface effects in controlled thermonuclear fusion devices and reactors meeting; Argonne, Illinois, USA (10 Jan 1974). There are two major electrostatic direct energy converter concepts whlch will be discussed from the point of view of the surfaces. One is the Venetian blind concept and the other is the periodic electrostatic focusing concept. They are both of the direct collector type. Fluxes of D/sup +/, T/sup +/, He/sup ++/, electrons, and x-rays are given. Design consideration due to t… more
