Leach and soil column tests with stored redox sludge

Description: The leachabilities of /sup 90/Sr, /sup 239/Pu, and /sup 137/Cs from solids in Tank 108-SX were determined. Through 21 leach cycles covering a 3.5 day period, 63 volumes of leachate removed 1.4, 4.6, and 19.2% of the /sup 239/Pu, /sup 90/Sr, and /sup 137/Cs, respectively, from the 108-SX solids. With the exception of the first few leachates, the /sup 239/Pu concentrations in the leachates were less than maximum permissible concentration in drinking water for 168-h/wk exposure. A composite of the… more

Effect of water chemistry on the erosion-corrosion of aluminum in high temperature high velocity water

Description: This paper reports on a laboratory study of erosion-corrosion on aluminum surfaces in high temperature water. It is essentially a continuation of a similar previous study with refinement in testing procedure and the addition of electrochemical measurements to study the phenomenon. The electrochemical procedures are of intrinsic worth, because such measurements have never before been conducted with such an unusual cell geometry as imposed by the erosion-corrosion testing apparatus.

Thermal analysis of LOFT containment vessel penetrations S-5E and S-6A

Description: Thermal analysis of the LOFT containment vessel penetration S-6A was conducted for steady-state operation and blowdown transients. Penetration S-6A is a 20-inch pipe through which passes a 10-inch pipe from the steam generator containing 600/sup 0/F steam. Recommendations for penetration S-5E were based on the analysis of penetration S-6A. Penetration S-5E is an 18-inch pipe through which pass a 4-inch pipe containing the steam generator feedwater at 430/sup 0/F and a 0.5-inch pipe containing s… more

LOWER BOUNDS ON SELF-FOCUSING SO AS TO MAINTAIN RING INTEGRITY NEAR THE INITIATION OF ACCELERATION IN AN ELECTRON RING ACCELERATOR

Description: Relationships necessary for ring stability are derived between the self-focusing forces of an electron ring and the magnetic field gradient defocusing forces present near and just subsequent to the start of ring acceleration.

DI-TERTIABYBUTYLNITROXIDE, A HILL REAGENT

Description: Di-tertiarybutylnitroxide (DTBN), which they have tried to use as a trapping agent to identify the species giving rise to the photo-induced EPR signals in photosynthetic materials, functions as a Hill reagent with spinach chloroplasts. Evidence is presented which indicates that the reduction of DTBN is affected by photosystem II of the electron transport system of spinach chloroplasts. The reduced form of DTBN, the hydroxylamine, undergoes a photo-oxidation with spinach chloroplasts. Possible e… more

Diffraction Radiation Defocusing of an Electron Ring

Description: The influence upon axial stability in an electron ring of the diffraction radiation reaction force, generated by a ring moving in an acceleration column, is calculated theoretically. A stability criterion is obtained, and numerical examples show that the criterion is not an important constraint upon the choice of parameters or the operation of an electron ring accelerator.

Quadrupole Moments of First Excited States in Si, S, and Ar

Description: Static quadrupole moments of the first excited states of {sup 28}Si, {sup 32}S, and {sup 40}Ar have been measured using the reorientation effect in projectile Coulomb excitation. The results obtained are Q({sup 28}Si,2{sup +}) = +0.11 {+-} 0.05 b, Q({sup 32}S,2{sup +}) = -0.20 {+-} 0.06 b, and Q({sup 40}Ar, 2{sup +}) = +0.01 {+-} 0.04 b.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY OF EXCITED MOLECULES: PHOTO-ELECTROCHEMICALREACTIONS OF CHLOROPHYLLS. I

Description: Semiconductors with a sufficiently large energy gap, in contact with an electrolyte, can be used as electrodes for the study of electrochemical reactions of excited molecules. The behavior of excited chlorophyll molecules at single crystal ZnO-electrodes has been investigated. These molecules inject electrons from excited levels into the conduction band of the electrode, thus giving rise to an anodic photocurrent. The influence of various agents on this electron transfer has been studied. In th… more

The Electron-Ring Accelerator Program at Berkeley

Description: Early in 1968 a research group was set up at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory to investigate the exciting new concept of accelerating ions by means of relativistic electron rings, which had been introduced and developed by Veksler, Sarantsev, and other workers at Dubna. The initial work of our group was reported at the first USSR National Conference on Particle Accelerators in 1968. In this report the author review the subsequent progress and the present program.

BRANCHED ALKANES FROM BLUE-GREEN ALGAE

Description: Branched alkanes from blue-green algae were separated on a 750 feet high resolution capillary gas chromatographic column. The mixture was found to be 90% of 1:1 ratio 7-methyl, and 8-methyl-heptadecane, and 10% of 6-methylheptadecane. An optical rotation of +2.5 {+-} 0.5 was obtained on a 5 mg of mixture.

ASYMMETRY IN n+ PHOTOPRODUCTION FROM A POLARIZED TARGET AT 5 AND16 GeV

Description: The authors have measured the asymmetry in the cross section for the reaction {gamma}p {yields} {pi}{sup +}n between the two stages of polarization of the initial proton normal to the plane of scattering. The initial laboratory photon energies, k, were 5 GeV and 16 GeV, and the regions of momentum transfer, t, covered were 0.14 {le} {radical}-t {le} 1.01 GeV/c and 0.14 {le} {radical}-t {le} 0.78 GeV/c respectively. A butanol polarized target was used with the SLAC 20 GeV/c magnetic spectrometer… more

The Equilibrium Length of High-Current Bunches in Electron Storage Rings

Description: An equilibrium theory of the length of intense electron bunches circulating in a storage ring is presented. The consequence of electrical interaction with various resonant structures is expressed in terms of quadratures over the impedance of the structures, and impedance functions for a variety of elements are evaluated. It is shown that elements having resonances at high frequency can, above transition, cause bunches to increase in length with increasing current. The parametric dependence of t… more

PARTICLE DETECTORS BASED ON NOBLE LIQUIDS

Description: In order to build a thin particle detector with 10 micron spatial resolution and automatic readout, the avalanche of ionization electrons in high electric fields in liquid argon and liquid xenon has been studied. We present a scheme using an array of points that could be used to make a reliable liquid argon filled detector. The avalanche pulses in liquid xenon have a rise time more than three orders of magnitude faster than that in liquid argon, suggesting that the positive charge carriers are … more

Experiments on Forming,Compressing and Extracting Electron Rings for the Collective Acceleration of Ions

Description: In experiments related to the development of the electron-ring accelerator, electrons were injected into a pulsed magnetic field to form rings that were then compressed radially to a small size. The injected beam had a current of about 150 A at an energy of 3.3 MeV with an energy spread of {+-} 0.1% and a pulse length duration of 20 nsec. At low intensity, an increase in the minor radius of the ring and a large loss of electrons was observed to occur during the compression cycle. At high intens… more
