Cytometric analysis of shape and DNA content in mammalian sperm

Description: Male germ cells respond dramatically to a variety of insults and are important reproductive dosimeters. Semen analyses are very useful in studies on the effects of drugs, chemicals, and environmental hazards on testicular function, male fertility and heritable germinal mutations. Sperm were analyzed by flow cytometry and slit-scan flow analysis for injury following the exposure of testes to mutagens. The utility of flow cytometry in genotoxin screening and monitoring of occupational exposure wa… more

Normal-zone detectors for the MFTF-B coils. Revision 1

Description: In order to protect a set of inductively coupled superconducting magnets, it is necessary to locate and measure normal zone voltages that are small compared with the mutual and self-induced voltages. The method described in this report uses two sets of voltage measurements to locate and measure one or more normal zones in any number of coupled coils. One set of voltages is the outputs of bridges that balance out the self-induced voltages. The other set of voltages can be the voltages across the… more

GAMIDEN: a program to aid in the identification of unknown materials by gamma-ray spectroscopy

Description: The intent of the computer code GAMIDEN is to help identify isotopes by their gamma-ray emissions and thus to assist in the nondestructive assay of unknown materials. From both radioactive decays and neutron captures, GAMIDEN searches GAMTOT83, a file of gamma-ray spectra, for matches with observed photon energies. This report describes the search procedure, outlines the use of the code, and gives an example. The code is designed to operate on the CRAY 1 computer at Lawrence Livermore National … more

Thermal analysis of a helium-cooled, tube-bank blanket module for a tandem-mirror fusion reactor

Description: A blanket module concept for the central cell of a tandem mirror reactor is described which takes advantage of the excellent heat transfer and low pressure drop characteristics of tube banks in cross-flow. The blanket employs solid Li/sub 2/O as the tritium breeding material and helium as the coolant. The lithium oxide is contained in tubes arranged within the submodules as a two-pass, cross-flow heat exchanger. Primarily, the heat transfer and thermal-hydraulic aspects of the blanket design st… more

Construction and testing of the Nb/sub 3/Sn coils for the High-Field Test Facility

Description: This project was undertaken: (1) to establish manufacturing capability for a high-current, cryostable Nb/sub 3/Sn conductor for the mirror fusion program; (2) to evaluate the conductor design with regard to manufacturability, windability, and cryostability; and (3) to provide a facility for testing insert coils of up to 1 m outer diameter at approximately 12 T.

Process, product, and waste-stream monitoring with fiber optics

Description: Fiber optic technology, motivated by communications and defense applications, has advanced significantly the past ten years. In particular, advances have been made in visible radiation transmission efficiency with concurrent reductions in fiber size, weight, and cost. Researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) coupled these advances in fiber optic technology with analytical fluorescence analysis to establish a new technology - remote fiber fluorimetry (RFF). Laser-based RF… more

Advanced uranium enrichment technologies

Description: The Advanced Gas Centrifuge and Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation methods are described. The status and potential of the technologies are summarized, the programs outlined, and the economic incentives are noted. How the advanced technologies, once demonstrated, might be deployed so that SWV costs in the 1990s can be significantly reduced is described.

Engineering basis for selection of positron source material

Description: This note describes the engineering basis for the selection of the positron source material. It assumes the approximate physics parameters have already been chosen (i.e. a high Z material of 6 radiation lengths thickness). As part of this study a basic heat transfer analysis of the target was performed and is discussed. It is concluded that Ta-10W is the most likely material to meet required physics parameters and not fail structurally.

Experience with a high order programming language on the development of the Nova distributed control system

Description: This paper explores the impact of an HOL on the development of the distributed computer control system for Nova laser fusion facility. As the world's most powerful glass laser, Nova will generate 150 trillion watt pulses of infrared light focused onto fusion targets a few millimeters in diameter. It will perform experiments designed to explore the feasibility of fusion as an energy source of the future. Nova will utilize fifty microcomputers and four VAX-11/780's in a distributed process contro… more

Recovery of protactinium-231 and thorium-230 from cotter concentrate: pilot plant operatins and process development

Description: The equipment and methods used to recover and purify 339 g of thorium-230 and 890 mg of protactinium-231 from 22 of the 1251 drums of Cotter Concentrate are described. The process developed was (1) dissolution at 100/sup 0/C in concentrated nitric acid and dilution to 2 to 3 molar acid, (2) filtration to remove undissolved solids (mostly silica filter aid), (3) extraction of uranium with di-sec-butyl-phenyl phophonate (DSBPP) in carbon tetrachloride, (4) extraction of both thorium and protactin… more

Human-factors engineering control-room design review/audit: Waterford 3 SES Generating Station, Louisiana Power and Light Company

Description: A human factors engineering design review/audit of the Waterford-3 control room was performed at the site on May 10 through May 13, 1982. The report was prepared on the basis of the HFEB's review of the applicant's Preliminary Human Engineering Discrepancy (PHED) report and the human factors engineering design review performed at the site. This design review was carried out by a team from the Human Factors Engineering Branch, Division of Human Factors Safety. The review team was assisted by con… more

Calculation of a tracking force

Description: The original calculation (1975-76) of an electromagnetic mechanism for beam-channel tracking is presented. The system model is not realistic because only a flat profile channel which completely encloses the beam is considered. However, a clear demonstration of the existence of a tracking force is made, as a point of departure for the more recent studies which incorporate a realistic model of the beam head and conductivity profile.

Regional trends in transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity, lower cretaceous sands, north-central Texas

Description: Depositional and structural history control the regional trends in transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity in Lower Cretaceous-age sands along the Balcones Ouachita trend in North-Central Texas. Because of scarcity of pumping tests, delineation of trends was only possible by incorporating transmissivities estimated from specific capacities. Statistical comparison of estimated and pumping-test transmissivities confirmed the validity of this approach. The resulting contour maps should be useful… more
