Zooplankton data: Vertical distributions of zooplankton in the Norweigian and Greenland Seas during summer, 1989

Description: Recent studies of zooplankton populations in the Greenland Sea have focused on processes at the Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) and the areas immediately adjacent to it under the ice and in open water. These studies have shown a relatively short period of intense secondary productivity which is closely linked temporally and spatially to phytoplankton blooms occurring near the ice edge in spring and early summer. During the summer of 1989 we participated in a project focusing on benthic and water column… more

Zooplankton from OTEC sites in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean

Description: The spatial and temporal variations in the abundance of major classes of zooplankton were measured using standard methods, between June and October 1978, at two OTEC sites in the Gulf of Mexico and in the Caribbean near Puerto Rico. The usual oceanic patterns were found with highest numbers near the surface, especially at night, and lowest numbers at 800 to 1000 m. Absolute numbers varied considerably from site to site. As expected, copepods (usually divided between calanoids and cyclopoids) do… more

ZORCH--AN IBM 7090 PROGRAM FOR THE ANALYSIS OF SIMULATED MSRE POWER TRANSIENTS WITH A SIMPLIFIED SPACE-DEPENDENT KINETICS MODEL

Description: A program (ZORCH) is described which is an extended and revised version of the point-model kinetics program MURGATROYD. A model is used in which the axial space dependence of the fuel and graphite temperatures is calculated, and the effect on reactivity of deviations from the steady state values is assumed to be given by the product of an appropriate temperature coefficient of reactivity times the deviations from the steady state value of the nuclear average temperature (NAT). The NAT is comput… more

ZORNOC: a 1 1/2-D tokamak data analysis code for studying noncircular high beta plasmas

Description: A new tokamak data analysis code, ZORNOC, was developed to study noncircular, high beta plasmas in the Impurity Study Experiment (ISX-B). These plasmas exhibit significant flux surface shifts and elongation in both ohmically heated and beam-heated discharges. The MHD equilibrium flux surface geometry is determined by solving the Grad-Shafranov equation based on: (1) the shape of the outermost flux surface, deduced from the magnetic loop probes; (2) a pressure profile, deduced by means of Thomso… more

ZPPR-20 Phase D : A Cylindrical Assembly of Polyethylene Moderated U Metal Reflected by Beryllium Oxide and Polyethylene

Description: The Zero Power Physics Reactor (ZPPR) fast critical facility was built at the Argonne National Laboratory-West (ANL-W) site in Idaho in 1969 to obtain neutron physics information necessary for the design of fast breeder reactors. The ZPPR-20D Benchmark Assembly was part of a series of cores built in Assembly 20 (References 1 through 3) of the ZPPR facility to provide data for developing a nuclear power source for space applications (SP-100). The assemblies were beryllium oxide reflected and had… more

Description: Over a period of 30 years, more than a hundred Zero Power Reactor (ZPR) critical assemblies were constructed at Argonne National Laboratory. The ZPR facilities, ZPR-3, ZPR-6, ZPR-9 and ZPPR, were all fast critical assembly facilities. The ZPR critical assemblies were constructed to support fast reactor development, but data from some of these assemblies are also well suited for nuclear data validation and to form the basis for criticality safety benchmarks. A number of the Argonne ZPR/ZPPR crit… more

ZPR-9 airborne plutonium monitoring system

Description: An airborne plutonium monitoring system which is installed in the ZPR-9 (Zero Power Reactor No. 9) facility at Argonne National Laboratory is described. The design and operational experience are discussed. This monitoring system utilizes particle size and density discrimination, alpha particle energy discrimination, and a background-subtraction techique operating in cascade to separate airborne-plutonium activity from other, naturally occurring, airborne activity. Relatively high sensitivity an… more

Zr and Mo isotopes in single presolar graphite grains : a record of stellar nucleosynthesis.

Description: Thirty-two individual graphite grains from the Murchison meteorite were analyzed for their Mo and/or Zr isotopic compositions by laser ablation resonant ionization mass spectrometry. {sup 96}Zr/{sup 94}Zr ratios range from 0.074 times to 10 times the solar value. Five grains have depletions in {sup 96}Zr, suggestive of the s-process, and two grains have extraordinary enrichments in {sup 96}Zr, suggestive of the r-process. Most graphite grains have close-to-terrestrial Mo isotopic imposition, bu… more

Zr and Mo isotopic constraints on the origins of unusual types of presolar SiC grains.

Description: Although most presolar silicon carbide grains form in asymptotic giant branch red giant stars (the so-called mainstream grains) or supernovae (the X-grains), there are a number of other minor types of grains whose origin is less clear. The dominant mechanisms of heavy element nucleosynthesis, the s-process and r-process, are thought to occur mainly in AGB stars and supernovae, respectively [1], and the isotopic patterns in heavy elements in presolar grains can be used to constrain their origins… more
