Measurements of magnetic field alignment

Description: The procedure for installing Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) dipoles in their respective cryostats involves aligning the average direction of their field with the vertical to an accuracy of 0.5 mrad. The equipment developed for carrying on these measurements is described and the measurements performed on the first few prototypes SSC magnets are presented. The field angle as a function of position in these 16.6 m long magnets is a characteristic of the individual magnet with possible feedba… more

Analytical cytology applied to detection of induced cytogenetic abnormalities

Description: Radiation-induced biological damage results in formation of a broad spectrum of cytogenetic changes such as translocations, dicentrics, ring chromosomes, and acentric fragments. A battery of analytical cytologic techniques are now emerging that promise to significantly improve the precision and ease with which these radiation induced cytogenetic changes can be quantified. This report summarizes techniques to facilitate analysis of the frequency of occurrence of structural and numerical aberrati… more

Neutronics issues for a laboratory microfusion facility

Description: Discussion concerning goals or design of the Laboratory Microfusion Facility (LMF) should include an understanding of the neutronics issues involved. We consider such aspects as first wall shielding requirements, safety standards as they will apply to such an Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) facility, and the interior chamber environment. The selection of materials for the first wall, neutron moderator and absorber, and gamma ray shielding is discussed. We conclude that water or carbon are the… more

The Mobile Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (MICBM) simulation

Description: The purpose of this project was to investigate the capability of blending traditional discrete event simulation techniques with artificial intelligence technology. In order to fully demonstrate the capabilities of such a simulation environment, a difficult class of simulation problem was selected for the project: a military C/sup 3/ (command, control, and communication) simulation. The hardware chosen for the project was a Symbolics LISP machine running an artificial intelligence shell called K… more

Development of an advanced high efficiency coal combustor for boiler retrofit

Description: During the quarter from October 1986 to January 1987 the following technical progress was made: (1) Initiated a literature study focusing on optimized burner aerodynamics and design methodologies for high efficiency swirl generation devices, (2) Completed design of Swirler Test Facility (STF) to be used for comparative swirler evaluations, and (3) Initiated facility preparation at MIT for thermal atomization studies and high shear viscosity measurements.

Elements of a system for verifying a Comprehensive Test Ban

Description: The paper discusses the goals of a monitoring system for a CTB, its functions, the challenges to verification, discrimination techniques, and some recent developments. It is concluded technical, military and political efforts are required to establish and verify test ban treaties which will contribute to stability in the long term. It currently appears there will be a significant number of unidentified events. (ACR)

Work breakdown structure guide

Description: Utilization of the work breakdown structure (WBS) technique is an effective aid in managing Department of Energy (DOE) programs and projects. The technique provides a framework for project management by focusing on the products that are being developed or constructed to solve technical problems. It assists both DOE and contractors in fulfilling their management responsibilities. This document provides guidance for use of the WBS technique for product oriented work identification and definition.… more

Results of sludge slurry pipeline pluggage tests. [Simulation of Radioactive Slurry Flow]

Description: Test results of sludge slurry transport through the Interarea Transfer Line (IAL) Mock-up Facility showed little risk of plugging the interarea pipelines with sludge slurry. Plug-free operation of the pipeline was successfully demonstrated by worst case IAL operating scenarios. Pipeline pressure gradients were measured vs. flow rate for comparison with a computer model over a range of sludge slurry rheological properties. A mathematical computer model developed by L. M. Lee is included in this … more

Some Calculations Pertaining to Central Calorimeter Cooldown Rate and Temperature Gradients

Description: For a first-pass look at how the central calorimeter module assemblies cool down in the CC cryostat, some 'hand' calculations of free convection from the end plates were done. A local convection coefficient for heat transfer from the vertically oriented end plates to the argon gas is estimated to be about 1 x 10{sup -3} W/cm{sup 2}K. Even for free convection, flow is turbulent between the end plates and cryostat wall. Total rate of heat removal from both ends of the assembly at 300K to lOOK arg… more
