Four-D propagation code for high-energy laser beams: a user's manual

Description: This manual describes the use and structure of the June 30, 1976 version of the Four-D propagation code for high energy laser beams. It provides selected sample output from a typical run and from several debug runs. The Four-D code now includes the important noncoplanar scenario feature. Many problems that required excessive computer time can now be meaningfully simulated as steady-state noncoplanar problems with short run times.

Flow-regime characterization for horizontal two-phase steam flow

Description: A relatively simple model, using Baker parameters, is described and applied to flow-regime data generated by high speed photography of two-phase steam flow. The experiments were conducted at the Geothermal Test Facility (GTF) at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. Although results depend somewhat on the personal judgment and interpretation of the observer, the model was found to give a reasonable prediction of the flow regime for the flow ranges available in 1- and 2-in.-diam pipes.

Homogeneous catalytic hydrogenations of complex carbonaceous substrates. [16 references]

Description: Results of homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of complex unsaturated substrates including coal and coal-derived materials are reported, with organic soluble molecular complexes as catalysts. Among the substrates used were Hvab coal, solvent-refined coal, and COED pyrolysate. The hydrogenations were carried out in an autoclave. The results are summarized in tables.

Plane stress calculations with a two dimensional elastic-plastic computer program. [HEMP]

Description: In the study of ductile fracture it is useful to simulate fracture on the computer under plane stress conditions. In general, this is a three dimensional problem. Presented here is a method for adapting a two dimensional elastic-plastic computer program to calculate problems in plane stress as well as plane strain geometry. A simulation of a tension test of a flat aluminum plate pulled to failure is calculated with the modified two dimensional program. The results are compared with a fully thre… more

Use of the Borrmann Effect to Produce Nearly Monoenergetic X Rays

Description: The use of the Borrmann effect to produce nearly monoenergetic x rays is described. Both theoretical and experimental results are presented for the energy range from 15 to 55 keV. Peak shape, full-widths at half-maximum, and intensities are discussed. In addition, a brief description of a computer code for calculating the theoretical results is given.

Investigation of the thermal yield from the subsurface explosions. [1 kt source buried at 0. 5, 1. 5 and 3. 0 meters]

Description: The objective of this investigation is to determine the upper limits on the thermal yield of a 1 kt source detonated at shallow depths. Three problems were computed for the depths of burial of 0.5, 1.5, and 3 m. The source is an iron bubble with 30 cm radius and 25 kg of mass. The computation was done on the CEL code. The results show that the relative thermal yield is no more than 6 percent, and that it vanishes at DOB of about 4 m. The computed blast strength is plotted against the range. The… more

Estimating ISABELLE shielding requirements

Description: Estimates were made of the shielding thicknesses required at various points around the ISABELLE ring. Both hadron and muon requirements are considered. Radiation levels at the outside of the shield and at the BNL site boundary are kept at or below 1000 mrem per year and 5 mrem/year respectively. Muon requirements are based on the Wang formula for pion spectra, and the hadron requirements on the hadron cascade program CYLKAZ of Ranft. A muon shield thickness of 77 meters of sand is indicated out… more

Working model for Ge(Li) detector counting efficiencies

Description: A practical model has been developed that is capable of describing the overall Ge(Li) detection efficiency as a function of several known or measurable parameters such as gamma-ray energy, source-to-detector distance, detector dimensions, source extension (area and volume), source composition, and external absorbers. The algorithms of this model permit the evaluation of a large variety of sample shapes, sizes, material compositions, and source strengths with a single initial detector calibratio… more

Comparing structural loads in large pools evaluated with the LUSH code and current design methods

Description: Large pools for storing spent fuel elements from nuclear reactors are being proposed to augment the present storage capacity of pools located at nuclear power plants and fuel reprocessing plants. These pools will be part of either independent spent fuel storage installations or large reprocessing plants. Because of the large size of the pools, seismic loads are of significant interest, and in particular the adequacy of current design methods for calculating seismic loads was of special concern.… more

Exploding pusher targets illuminated using f/1 lenses at approx. 0. 4 TW

Description: A series of laser fusion microimplosion experiments have been performed with the LLL two beam laser system JANUS. The JANUS laser is capable of focusing up to 400 gigawatts of 1.06 ..mu..m laser power (32J in 80 psec) on microscopic laser fusion targets, producing intensities in excess of 10/sup 17/ w/cm/sup 2/. In these experiments the targets were Deuterium--Tritium (DT) gas filled, thin walled (.5 to 1.0 ..mu..m) SiO/sub 2/ microshells with diameters of 40 to 100 ..mu..m. Targets with these … more

Objective function for the environmental assessment of waste

Description: Various waste management systems were examined in order to determine what the environmental impacts might be and to rank the relative importance of those impacts. This examination determined that radiation dose to man was the most significant, and probably overriding, impact. This report describes methods of providing an objective function for dose to man. The search for an objective function began with a reading of Federal Regulations and the output of various standard setting councils and com… more
