Estimates of post-acceleration longitudinal bunch compression

Description: A simple analytic method is developed, based on physical approximations, for treating transient implosive longitudinal compression of bunches of heavy ions in an accelerator system for ignition of inertial-confinement fusion pellet targets. Parametric dependences of attainable compressions and of beam path lengths and times during compression are indicated for ramped pulsed-gap lines, rf systems in storage and accumulator rings, and composite systems, including sections of free drift. It appear… more

Survey of decontamination and decommissioning techniques

Description: Reports and articles on decommissioning have been reviewed to determine the current technology status and also attempt to identify potential decommissioning problem areas. It is concluded that technological road blocks, which limited decommissioning facilities in the past have been removed. In general, techniques developed by maintenance in maintaining the facility have been used to decommission facilities. Some of the more promising development underway which will further simplify decommission… more

Hybrid simulations of quasineutral phenomena in magnetized plasma

Description: A new class of numerical algorithms for computer simulation of low frequency electromagnetic and electrostatic phenomena in magnetized plasma is presented. Maxwell's equations are solved in the limits of quasineutrality and negligible transverse displacement current (Darwin's model). Electrons are modeled as a fluid with polarization effects ignored. Ions are described as particles. A novel feature of these algorithms is the use of the electron fluid equation of motion to determine the electric… more

Status report: waste incineration and fixation for Waste Management, Production, and Reprocessing Division of the Department of Energy (July--December 1976)

Description: Fluidized bed incineration and waste fixation processes are being used to process the types of wastes expected from nuclear fuel reprocessing and production plants. Test incineration runs have been made on two types of wastes: high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and tributyl phosphate-solvent solutions. Laboratory-scale vitrification equipment was used to produce glass pellets from incinerator ash and blends of other expected waste streams. Computer modeling gave an expected product … more

Time-dependent properties of fiber composites for energy-storage flywheels

Description: Time-dependent deformation and time-dependent strength are being characterized for several candidate polymeric composites for flywheels. This presentation highlights the motivation and the philosophy of the characterization adopted by the authors in establishing the ongoing programs at LLL. This overview is intended to provide a basis for inferring the type of enginering data being generated for different aspects of flywheel design. The details of these data can be obtained from the published r… more

Research on the physical properties of geothermal reservoir rock. Annual report, September 1, 1977

Description: Measurements have been made of the electrical resistivity, the acoustic wave speed, density, and water content of six groups of rock samples taken from Cenozoic volcanic units. It has been found from these measurements that the correlations between physical properties are significantly different in the case of volcanic rocks than in the case of sandstones and limestones. For a given porosity and water content, the resistivity of a volcanic rock is several fold greater than that of a sandstone o… more

Magnetic mirror fusion program

Description: The past, present, and future thrusts of the magnetic mirror fusion program at LLL are reviewed. Neutral beam injection, stabilization, and density-lifetime product results from the 2XIIB experiment are briefly highlighted. The rationale of the Tandem Mirror Experiment and Field Reversed Mirror Experiment now under way are discussed. Plans for the Mirror Fusion Test Facility (MFTF) are described. Approaches to improvement of particle containment in mirror fusion systems are briefly indicated. (… more

Initial multi-national study of future energy systems and impacts of some evolving technologies

Description: Participants from thirteen member nations of the International Energy Agency and the Commission of European Communities have been conducting cooperative energy systems analyses, the goal of which is to evaluate the possible impacts of new and conservation technologies. Such studies are intended to provide analytical bases to aid future decisions on cooperative research and development projects. In the initial studies, a quantitative description of the 1974 energy system has been prepared for ea… more
