Bevatron beam injection programs: INJECT, PHASE, HINJ. Volume I. A user's guide

Description: A general description of the treatment of the Bevatron injection problem is presented, and the programs are described. The program INJECT for the acceptance calculation determines what beam can be accepted into the machine as a coasting beam. The rf trapping calculation, PHASE, tells what beam will be accepted as the rf voltage is turned on. The accepted pulse calculation, HINJ, uses the results of the two previous calculations to determine what fraction of an injected pulse survives the inject… more

Design criteria: data acquisition system for waste tank liquid level gauges and SX Tank Farm thermocouples

Description: This design criteria revision (revision 2) will cancel revision 1 and will provide complete functional supervision of the liquid level gauges. A new.counter and an electronic supervisory circuit will be installed in each waste tank liquid level gauge. The electronic supervisory circuit will monitor (via the new counter and a signal from the gauge electronics) cycling of the gauge on a one minute time cycle. This supervisory circuit will fulfill the intent of revision 1 (monitor AC power to the … more

High temperature vacuum-annealing system

Description: A system is described for use in homogenizing poly- and single-crystal metal samples at temperatures up to about 1300/sup 0/C. The furnace tube may be evacuated to a dynamic vacuum of 10/sup -3/ to 10/sup -4/ torr. A provision exists for pushing the sample from the hot zone into a zone the walls of which are at room temperature.

A Liquid Xenon Radiosotope Camera

Description: The increasing availability of short lived gamma and positron emitting isotopes, coupled with the importance of dynamical studies and better imaging, has generated the need for an improved {gamma}-ray camera. The authors discuss a new type of {gamma}-ray camera which makes use of electron avalanches in liquid xenon. A configuration currently under development is shown in Figure 1. The successful operation of a liquid xenon proportional counter was recently reported. The liquid xenon camera prom… more

LMFBR spent fuel transport: conceptual design and partial safety analysis of a sodium-cooled cask

Description: Conceptual designs for 6- and 18-subassembly casks are presented. The casks are intended for transport of LMFBR spent fuel which has decayed a minimum of 30 days. These casks use sodium as the primary coolant, an auxiliary shield coolant system in normal operation, heavy steel members as both gamma shield and structure, and a eutectic mixture of LiOH and NaOH as a neutron shield. The analysis indicates that there will be no leakage of coolant or fission products under normal or hypothetical acc… more
