Assessment of the potential of colloidal fuels in future energy usage. Final report. [97 references]

Description: Pulverized coal has been an increasing important source of energy over the past century. Most large utility boilers, all modern coking plants, and many industrial boilers and blast furnaces employ pulverized coal as a major feed stream. In periods of oil shortages, such as during World Wars I and II, the concept of adding powdered coal to oil for use in combustion equipment originally designed for oil has been actively pursued but rarely used. Over this same period of time, there have been atte… more

Special Projects Division. Quarterly report of progress, 1 January-31 March 1980

Description: Draft versions of 5 of about 18 planned guidelines documents, designed to facilitate implementation of Environment, Safety, and Health (ES and H) Assurance programs, were completed this quarter. The conceptual design of the ES and H Assurance Program Information System was essentially completed this quarter. Some of the subtasks completed were: (1) the development of a method for classifying risk factors associated with a given hazard, (2) the development of a method of classifying known contro… more

Light-water reactor accident classification

Description: The evolution of existing classifications and definitions of light-water reactor accidents is considered. Licensing practice and licensing trends are examined with respect to terms of art such as Class 8 and Class 9 accidents. Interim definitions, consistent with current licensing practice and the regulations, are proposed for these terms of art.

Taxonomy of the Azotobacteraceae

Description: The classification of the Azotobacteraceae to the level of genus and species has been uncertain since the studies of Beijerinck in 1901. This dissertation represents an effort to establish a system of classification more complete than the one now in use. In this study, both qualitative and quantitative taxonomy were used in order to establish a well founded classification scheme. Qualitative methods included certain important morphological and physiological characteristics, isoenzyme patterns, … more

Geothermal well log interpretation state of the art. Final report

Description: An in-depth study of the state of the art in Geothermal Well Log Interpretation has been made encompassing case histories, technical papers, computerized literature searches, and actual processing of geothermal wells from New Mexico, Idaho, and California. A classification scheme of geothermal reservoir types was defined which distinguishes fluid phase and temperature, lithology, geologic province, pore geometry, salinity, and fluid chemistry. Major deficiencies of Geothermal Well Log Interpret… more

Coal materials handling: classifier evaluation. Quarterly progress report, October-December 1980

Description: The desire and need to reduce energy requirements is, of course, the first and foremost reason for seeking a better understanding of the role of classification in closed circuit coal grinding. A better understanding of classifiers typically used in conjunction with coal grinding circuits would result in the ability to better utilize energies expended in coal grinding. In addition, the ability to better control the product size distribution is of major importance to many new processes being intr… more

Transuranic contaminated waste functional definition and implementation

Description: The purpose of this report is to examine the problem(s) of TRU waste classification and to document the development of an easy-to-apply standard(s) to determine whether or not this waste package should be emplaced in a geologic repository for final disposition. Transuranic wastes are especially significant because they have long half-lives and some are rather radiotoxic. Transuranic radionuclides are primarily produced by single or multiple neutron capture by U-238 in fuel elements during the o… more

Identification of key radionuclides in a nuclear waste repository in basalt

Description: Radionuclides were identified which appear to pose the greatest potential hazard to man during long-term storage of nuclear waste in a repository mined in the Columbia Plateau basalt formation. The criteria used to select key radionuclides were as follows: quantity of radionuclide in stored waste; biological toxicity; leach rate of the wastes into groundwater; and transport rate via groundwater flow. The waste forms were assumed to be either unreprocessed spent fuel or borosilicate glass contai… more
