Waste migration studies at the Savannah River Plant burial ground

Description: The low-level radioactive waste burial ground at the Savannah River Plant is a typical shallow-land-burial disposal site in a humid region. Studies of waste migration at this site provide generic data for designing other disposal facilities. A program of field, laboratory, and modeling studies for the SRP burial ground has been conducted for several years. Recent results of lysimeter tests, soil-water chemistry studies, and transport modeling are reported. The lysimeter experiments include ongo… more

Control and initial operation of the Fermilab BO low. beta. insertion

Description: The operation of the Fermilab BO low ..beta.. insertion involves the coordinated control of the 4 strings of quadrupoles of the insertion itself along with several magnetic correction elements (20 dipoles for the closed orbit, 2 quad circuits for betatron tunes, 1 skew quad circuit for coupling, and 2 sextupole circuits for chromaticity). When the beam is stored at high energy, these elements must correct the errors induced by the strong superconducting quadrupoles of the insertion as the optic… more

Operation of the repeating pneumatic injector on TFTR and design of an 8-shot deuterium pellet injector

Description: The repeating pneumatic hydrogen pellet injector, which was developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), has been installed and operated on the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR). The injector combines high-speed extruder and pneumatic acceleration technologies to propel frozen hydrogen isotope pellets repetitively at high speeds. The pellets are transported to the plasma in an injection line that also serves to minimize the gas loading on the torus; the injection line incorporates a … more

Mach stem characterization in Mbar designs using RSR powder

Description: Suitable selection of powders can be used as a modeling device for complicated experimental designs. The powder melt zone is clearly defined and the RSR-834 powder is reasonably well behaved. This experiment was with only one composition, size and distribution. However, it is believed that other morphologies, composition, and size distributions could result in a more complete modeling of the compaction process that would enable heuristic calculations of the combined effects of adiabatic tempera… more

Methodology for estimating sodium aerosol concentrations during breeder reactor fires

Description: We have devised and applied a methodology for estimating the concentration of aerosols released at building surfaces and monitored at other building surface points. We have used this methodology to make calculations that suggest, for one air-cooled breeder reactor design, cooling will not be compromised by severe liquid-metal fires.

Measured residual stresses in overlay pipe weldments removed from service

Description: Surface and throughwall residual stresses were measured on an elbow-to-pipe weldment that had been removed from the Hatch-2 reactor about a year after the application of a weld overlay. The results were compared with experimental measurements on three mock-up weldments and with finite-element calculations. The comparison shows that there are significant differences in the form and magnitude of the residual stress distributions. However, even after more than a year of service, the residual stres… more

Summary of the working group on the construction and demonstration of a Siberian Snake

Description: It was recognized as long ago as the 1977 Ann Arbor Meeting on Higher Energy Polarized Proton Beams that a ''Siberian Snake'' should be built and tested in an operating accelerator. A program to accomplish this at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) was part of a proposal to DOE to construct a small R and D accelerator at ANL. This was never implemented and between then and now many theory papers have been written but no Proof of Principle Experiment (POPE) has been done. The present Ann Arbor wo… more

Crystal-field splitting in Pr dideuteride

Description: From inelastic neutron scattering experiments, it is concluded that the crystal-field splitting in PrD/sub 1.95/ is 41 meV. Because of this high value, the antiferromagnetic ordering below T/sub N/ = 2.3 K is ascribed to a magnetic ground state, probably GAMMA/sub 5/, of the Pr/sup 3 +/ ions.

Description: Ever since it was first applied in the 1960's synchrotron radiation from an accelerating electron beam has been gaining popularity as a powerful tool for research and development in a wide variety of fields of science and technology. By now there are some 20 facilities operating either parasitically or dedicatedly for synchrotron radiation research in different parts of the world. In addition there are another 20 facilities either in construction or in various stages of proposal and design. The… more

Phonon effect on the temperature dependence of spin susceptibility and magnetization in metals

Description: In many transition metals the paramagnetic spin susceptibility X increases with increasing temperature much beyond ordinary theories could account for. We demonstrate how the effect of the electron-phonon interactions enable us to understand such temperature dependence of X.

Confinement at large-N. [N = number of colors]

Description: Recent numerical results indicate that QCD in the limit of an infinite number (N) of colors also has confinement and moreover that it looks rather similar to normal QCD with N = 3 colors. This imposes severe restrictions on what the mechanism of confinement can be.

Activated recombinative desorption: a potential component in mechanisms of spacecraft glow

Description: The concept of activated recombination of atomic species on surfaces is capable of explaining the production of vibrationally and translationally excited desorbed molecular species. Equilibrium statistical mechanics predicts that the molecular quantum state distributions of desorbing molecules is a function of only the surface temperature when the adsorption probability is unity and independent of initial collision conditions. In most cases though the adsorption probability is dependent upon in… more

Cryogenic compressive properties of basic epoxy resin systems

Description: The compressive properties of short cylindrical samples of many different epoxy resin systems have been measured at ambient temperature and at 77/sup 0/K. These are pure resin systems of known chemistry, without the inorganic fillers or fibrous reinforcements needed in final cryogenic systems. Of course, chemically incorporated modifiers such as flexibilizing resins have been included. This data should make possible inferences about cryogenic properties from molecular structures and provide spe… more

Safety characteristics of the integral fast reactor concept

Description: The Integral Fast Reactor (IFR) concept is an innovative approach to liquid metal reactor design which is being studied by Argonne National Laboratory. Two of the key features of the IFR design are a metal fuel core design, based on the fuel technology developed at EBR-II, and an integral fuel cycle with a colocated fuel cycle facility based on the compact and simplified process steps made possible by the use of metal fuel. The paper presents the safety characteristics of the IFR concept which … more

High strain rate deformation in FCC metals and alloys

Description: The effect of strain rate, and particularly of high strain rates, on deformation mechanisms in materials is of fundamental interest to those who model and analyze dynamic loading. In many materials the strain rate sensitivity is known to increase dramatically when the strain rate is raised above approx.10/sup 3/ s/sup -1/. This increase has been interpreted previously as a transmission in deformation mechanism from thermal activation control at low strain rate to dislocation drag control at hig… more
