Phase measurement and control of bunched beams

Description: An ion bean buncher was developed at ANL for bunching all ion species through a tandem accelerator. Transit time variations through the tandem, caused by ripple and fluctuations in the injection and lens power supplies and terminal voltage, and to varying voltage distributions in the accelerating tube, cause a beam-phase variation at the output of the tandem. A beam-phase measurement and control system was designed and installed in conjunction with the ion beam buncher to control beam phase at … more

Hydrology and geochemistry of thermal ground water in southwestern Idaho and north-central Nevada

Description: The study area occupies about 14,500 square miles in southwestern Idaho and north-central Nevada. Thermal ground water occurs under artesian conditions, in discontinuous or compartmented zones, in igneous or sedimentary rocks of Tertiary age. Ground-water movement is generally northward. Temperatures of the ground water range from about 30/sup 0/ to more than 80/sup 0/C. Chemical analyses of water from 12 wells and 9 springs indicate that nonthermal waters are a calcium bicarbonate type; therma… more

Hydrology and geochemistry of thermal ground water in southwestern Idaho and north-central Nevada

Description: Chemical analyses of water from 12 wells and 9 springs indicate that nonthermal waters are a calcium bicarbonate type; thermal waters are a sodium carbonate or bicarbonate type. Chemical geothermometers indicate probable maximum reservoir temperatures are near 100/sup 0/ Celsius. Concentration of tritium in the thermal water is near zero. Depletion of stable isotopes in the hot waters relative to present-day meteoric waters indicates recharge to the system probably occurred when the climate ave… more

The hydrothermal system in central Twin Falls County, Idaho

Description: This report describes the results of a study to define the areal extent and thickness of the hydrothermal reservoir in Twin Falls County and to propose a generalized conceptual model of the system. Specific objectives of the study, done in cooperation with the Idaho Department of Water Resources, were to evaluate the existing resource as to its volume, temperature, pressure, and water chemistry, and to determine the effects of present development on the resource. The study was limited to Twin F… more

Space Shielding Materials for Prometheus Application

Description: At the time of Prometheus program restructuring, shield material and design screening efforts had progressed to the point where a down-selection from approximately eighty-eight materials to a set of five ''primary'' materials was in process. The primary materials were beryllium (Be), boron carbide (B{sub 4}C), tungsten (W), lithium hydride (LiH), and water (H{sub 2}O). The primary materials were judged to be sufficient to design a Prometheus shield--excluding structural and insulating materials… more

Validation and sensitivity of a simulated photograph technique for visibility modeling

Description: The Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) visibility model is capable of producing simulated before and after pictures that illustrate visual effects of smoke plumes. Although the model has been under development for a few years, until recently there had been very little testing of the model against field experience or testing of sensitivity of the model results to numerical approximations used in the model. Further validation and sensitivity testing of the LASL model began in late 1979. The … more

Development of a scintillating fiber tracker for the SSC

Description: The Fiber Tracking Group (FTG) of the Solenoidal Detector Collaboration (SDC) is developing a high rate tracking subsystem appropriate for the SDC detector based on scintillating fiber (SciFi) technology. In the past two years a major upgrade in the design was conceived, which reduces the material and cost of the tracker and improves the effectiveness of the tracking system as a trigger element. The results of simulations of the performance of the tracker at Penn State have been very important … more

STF design features and estimated performance

Description: A new test reactor facility, the STF, currently scheduled for criticality in 1982, is being designed by ANL to meet needs for increased testing capabilities in the U.S. fast reactor safety testing program. The reactor will provide a fast reactor neutron spectrum and prototypical radial and axial power profiles over a large central test region capable of accommodating full-size commercial LMFBR and GCFR fuel elements in test sizes up to the equivalent of several subassemblies. Extensive access f… more

Thermal ground-water discharge and associated convective heat flux, Bruneau-Grand View area, southwest Idaho

Description: The Bruneau-Grand View area occupies about 1100 square miles in southwest Idaho. The area has a rural population dependent on ground-water irrigation. Temperature of the ground water ranges from 15/sup 0/C to more than 80/sup 0/C. Ground water for irrigation is obtained from flowing and pumped wells. Discharge of thermal ground water from 104 irrigation wells and 5 hot springs in 1978 was about 50,500 acre-feet. Convective heat flux from the geothermal system associated with this discharge was … more

Application and development of the Four Corners air-dispersion model

Description: A model was developed to provide reasonable estimates of short-term concentrations in an area characterized by complex terrain and sparse meteorological data. The model has a number of strong points including the inclusion of drainage winds and partial penetration of elevated inversion layers and the ability to distinguish between rough and moderately rough terrain. In addition, the model is driven by a comprehensive, consistent meteorological data base. Finally, the model appears to give very … more
