Radiogenic gas accumulation in TRU waste storage drums

Description: A field experiment was conducted over a four-year time span to determine the effect of high-activity transuranic (TRU) waste on the atmosphere within TRU waste storage drums typical of those generated in Savannah River Plant operation. Routine gas composition analyses showed that a significant amount of hydrogen can accumulate in drums that contain high alpha activity, and that flammable gas mixtures could form in such drums in spite of the radiolytic consumption of oxygen. According to this st… more

Separations areas effluent treatment: The preparation of a simulated effluent for system development and testing

Description: A fundamental parameter in the design of the Effluent Treatment Facility (ETF), the effluent composition, has recently been investigated by analyzing samples from both separations areas. As a result of this characterization program, we can now project the composition of the ETF feed stream. The anticipated feed composition is presented here for the purpose of making system projections; and a formula is provided for a simulant to use in testing evaporation, filtration, and reverse osmosis (RO) e… more

Incidence angle modifiers in cylindrical solar collector design. Final report, June 1996--May 1997

Description: This thesis presents an analysis of the thermal performance of cylindrical solar collectors. A major contributor to performance is optics, the principle focus of this work. A tool used to compute the incidence angle modifiers (IAM`s) for cylindrical solar collectors is presented. The Monte Carlo Method is employed in a Fortran 90 computer code to compute the hemispheric IAM`s of cylindrical solar collectors. Using concentric cylinders, the tubes are modeled with and without back plane reflector… more
