Final vegetative cover for closed waste sites

Description: Low-level, hazardous, and mixed waste disposal sites normally require some form of plant material to prevent erosion of the final closure cap. Waste disposal sites are closed and capped in a complex scientific manner to minimize water infiltration and percolation into and through the waste material. Turf type grasses are currently being used as an interim vegetative cover for most sites. This coverage allows for required monitoring of the closure cap for settlement and maintenance activities.

High efficiency shale oil recovery

Description: The overall project objective is to demonstrate the high efficiency of the Adams Counter-Current shale oil recovery process. The efficiency will first be demonstrated on a small scale, in the current phase, after which the demonstration will be extended to the operation of a small pilot plant. Thus the immediate project objective is to obtain data on oil shale retorting operations in a small batch rotary kiln that will be representative of operations in the proposed continuous process pilot pla… more

Causes and proposed resolutions of high vibration in NWTF transfer pumps

Description: This Technical Report is intended to communicate the findings from the latest phase of New Waste Transfer Facility (NWTF) transfer pump testing. These tests have identified causes for the high pump vibrations that have been observed during previous phases of transfer pump startup testing, and have led to recommendations for resolving the vibration problem. The paper describes the problem, the test methodology, observations, and recommend actions to correct the vibration problem.

Properties of W + jet events in proton-antiproton collisions at 1.8 TeV

Description: W boson + QCD Jet events, produced in 1.8 TeV proton-antiproton collisions and measured by the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF), were used to measure the center-of-mass production angle of the W + jet system, and were also used to place limits on the production of excited quark states. The center-of-mass production angular distribution agrees well with leading order and next-to-leading order QCD predictions. Excited quark states were searched for in the reaction q + g {yields} q* {yields} q … more

Research consortium on fractured petroleum reservoirs. Third quarterly report, July 1--September 30, 1993

Description: Our 1993 third quarter report discusses the results of our work on: (1) gas-oil gravity drainage in layered media; and, (2) the influence of viscous forces on gas-oil flow in fractured porous media. For sometime, we have been working on the incorporation of reinfiltration and capillary continuity concepts in a dual-porosity model. A simple and accurate technique has been developed for this purpose. The experiments on gas-oil gravity drainage in layered media are intended to: (1) verify our theo… more

The use of intelligence information to identify the foreign interests of entities involved with DOE programs

Description: This report investigates whether DOE activities could benefit from greater and more consistent access to intelligence information on selected entities with foreign interests. It does not cover dual-use and munition commodities. The investigation determined what information was available from the national intelligence community and law enforcement agencies that would have prevented DOE contracts with selected entities if the information had been available and regulations regarding contracts with… more

Metallocarboxylate chemistry. Progress report, November 17, 1992--November 22, 1993

Description: Research is focused on bimetallic compounds of late transition metals with carbon dioxide or CO{sub 2}-containing bridging ligands. The compounds are models for catalytic intermediates in CO{sub 2} fixation/activation processes. Thermolysis was studied. Re, Fe, and Sn complexes were studied.

Varying execution discipline to increase performance

Description: This research investigates the relationship between execution discipline and performance. The hypothesis has two parts: 1. Different execution disciplines exhibit different performance for different computations, and 2. These differences can be effectively predicted by heuristics. A machine model is developed that can vary its execution discipline. That is, the model can execute a given program using either the control-driven, data-driven or demand-driven execution discipline. This model is ref… more

Enhancing the use of coals by gas reburning-sorbent injection. Quarterly report No. 21, October 1--December 31, 1992

Description: The objective of this project is to evaluate and demonstrate a cost effective emission control technology for acid rain precursors, oxides of nitrogen (NO{sub x}) and sulfur (SO{sub x}) on two coal fired utility boilers in Illinois. The units selected are representative of pre-NSPS design practices: tangential and cyclone fired. The specific objectives are to demonstrate reductions of 60 percent in NO{sub x} and 50 percent in SO{sub x} emissions, by a combination of two developed technologies, … more

Overview of WARP, a particle code for Heavy Ion Fusion

Description: The beams in a Heavy Ion beam driven inertial Fusion (HIF) accelerator must be focused onto small spots at the fusion target, and so preservation of beam quality is crucial. The nonlinear self-fields of these space-charge-dominated beams can lead to emittance growth; thus a self-consistent field description is necessary. We have developed a multi-dimensional discrete-particle simulation code, WARP, and are using it to study the behavior of HIF beams. The code`s 3d package combines features of a… more

PIC space-charge emission with finite {Delta}t and {Delta}z

Description: A new algorithm for space charge emission has been developed to provide the correct (to a few percent) Child-Langmuir steady-state current limits as the number of mesh points in the voltage gap drops to O(10). Further, the transient behavior of such flows compares well with idealized, analytic cases, lending confidence as we extend these algorithms into full RZ geometry with curved emitting surfaces to investigate transient characteristics of realistic injector designs.

High- and low-temperature bonding techniques for microstructures

Description: The ability to bond together two or more silicon wafers greatly expands the variety and complexity of silicon microstructures that can be designed and fabricated. At LLNL, microstructures have been used for many years as hardware in scientific experiments. The activity has recently been expanded into other areas to include microinstruments for biomedical applications and for chemical analysis. Both high temperature (1100{degrees}C) bonding techniques have been used, depending on the application… more
