Cooling Ponds: Survey of the State of the Art

Description: Since the enactment of the Water Quality Act of 1965, there has been an increasing concern over the quality of the nation's waters. Adoption of temperature standards of water bodies, combined with the economics of scale, is resulting in increased use of alternatives to once-through cooling systems, particularly ponds and towers. Approximately 60 steam-electric power plants with capacities greater than 60 electrical megawatts use cooling ponds. This report documents a review of cooling pond tech… more

LIQUID-XENON-FILLED WIRE CHAMBERS

Description: The authors describe several types of small liquid xenon-filled chambers, each optimized for a particular property such as a real-time spatial resolution of {+-} 15 {mu}, a time resolution of {+-} 10{sup -7} sec, or a pulse height of 10{sup -12} coulomb. Larger chambers combining all these properties will be of great value at NAL energies, and they describe some of the techniques necessary for their construction.

COLLECTIVE PHENOMENA IN ACCELERATORS

Description: Recent years have witnessed the development of accelerators of ever-larger current, both peak and average, as well as a proliferation of storage rings of ever-greater luminosity. Consequently, there is considerable interest in and growing concern with, the phenomena which limit beam currents and beam densities, namely, the collective modes of behavior of relativistic particle beams. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that the collective behavior can be controlled, at least to some extent, tu… more

On the Performance Characteristics of Electron Ring Accelerators

Description: On the basis of our present understanding of the physical phenomena involved in an electron ring accelerator (ERA), a theoretical study is made of the performance which might be expected for an ERA. Rigorous upper bounds are obtained on the rate of energy gain, from which it is shown that, in order to prevent azimuthal instability, parameters must be selected such that (for reasonable fields, injector properties, etc., but with no safety factors) the proton energy gain is less than 80 MeV/m. Nu… more

User's manual for the reactor burnup system, REBUS. [LMFBR]

Description: A user's manual for the REBUS System (REactor BUrnup System) is presented. Its primary purpose is to provide sufficient information about the REBUS capability to the user to ensure its efficient utilization. The current REBUS System either solves for the infinite time (equilibrium) operating conditions of a recycle system under fixed conditions, or solves for operating conditions during a single time step (non-equilibrium). The capability of studying various in-reactor fuel management and ex-re… more

PIPING & EQUIPMENT ELECTRICAL HEATING CONTROL SYSTEM

Description: All sodium piping and equipment is heat traced to maintain the sodium in a liquid state. The Pipe and Equipment Electrical Heating Control System controls the rate of heat application to sodium piping and equipment during heatup of empty systems prior to filling with sodium and to maintain heat in operating sodium systems. The Pipe and Equipment Electric Heating Control System is designed to aid in detecting malfunctions and failures within the system. The Control portion except for the control… more

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING DIVISION BURNUP, CROSS SECTIONS, AND DOSIMETRY SEMIANNUAL REPORT, JANUARY--JUNE 1972.

Description: Research and development efforts of the burnup, cross sections and dosimetry programs in the Chemical Engineering Division of Argonne National Laboratory are reported for the period January to June 1972. Work is reported in the following areas: (1) development of an X-ray spectrometric method for the determination of the rare-earth fission products and application of this method to the determinations of burnup in nuclear fuels; (2) determination of fast ·fission yields of bum up monitors and ot… more

Hydrogen and Other Synthetic Fuels: A Summary of the Work of the Synthetic Fuels Panel

Description: From introduction: This report covers all aspects of an energy system based on nonfossil synthetic fuels and includes discussions on the production of the fuels; their storage, transmission, and end uses; and an overall systems analysis illustrating the role these fuels might assume in the future.

A Proposal to Study Small Angle Proton-Deuteron Scattering

Description: We propose an extension of the present p-p small angle scattering experiment to a measurement of p-d scattering using a deuterium gas jet. In 400 hours of beam time we will measure as a function of energy; (a) the slope of the small angle p-d scattering; (b) the real part of the forward p-d scattering; (c) the total p-d cross section; and (d) the coherent diffraction dissociation of protons on deuterons. No new apparatus is required or need be installed for the performance of this experiment.

The Porcupine

Description: Informal report describing a suggestion for a way to detect secondary particles produced by the collision of protons at high center-of-mass energies: The present note has as its purpose to suggest a new 4π geometry concept for detecting the reaction products, which eases some of the problems of high-multiplicity events. The device could be used as a stand-alone detector in some experiments, but basically is conceived as a useful adjunct to a calorimeter type device. I call it the Porcupine fo… more

Geochemical variation of Columbia River basalts beneath the Hanford Reservation, Washington

Description: Major element and trace element analyses of Columbia River basalts have been compiled to indicate where geochemical changes occur in the stratigraphy of the basalts. The analyses were averaged and plotted on petrologic variation diagrams to elucidate geochemical trends and correlations. This report is concerned mainly with the major elements. (auth)
