Lecture notes for criticality safety

Description: These lecture notes for criticality safety are prepared for the training of Department of Energy supervisory, project management, and administrative staff. Technical training and basic mathematics are assumed. The notes are designed for a two-day course, taught by two lecturers. Video tapes may be used at the options of the instructors. The notes provide all the materials that are necessary but outside reading will assist in the fullest understanding. The course begins with a nuclear physics ov… more

Science in Action'': An interdisciplinary science education program

Description: Science in Action is an education outreach program for pre-collegiate students. It is based on the concept that, in order to interest students in science, they must see science and scientists at work. The program encompasses the full range of scientific disciplines -- the core sciences, engineering and mathematics. A unique aspect of the program is the involvement and support of scientists and engineers representing local professional societies, industries, businesses, and academic institutions… more

High-level nuclear waste immobilization program

Description: Existing high-level nuclear wastes in the United States are described along with current management techniques and long-term disposal options. All of the disposal options involve some type of immobilization operation to restrict radio-nuclide dispersion; the primary option is disposal of immobilized waste packages in deep (500-1000 meter) geological formations. Several immobilized waste forms currently under development are discussed, and form selection factors and regulatory criteria are ident… more

Disposal of radioactive wastes

Description: Radioactive waste management and disposal requirements options available are discussed. The possibility of beneficial utilization of radioactive wastes is covered. Methods of interim storage of transuranium wastes are listed. Methods of shipment of low-level and high-level radioactive wastes are presented. Various methods of radioactive waste disposal are discussed. (DC)

Three lectures on effective interaction in nuclei

Description: The first lecture discusses the origins of the density dependence of the effective interaction. The significance of effective interactions in nuclei is noted. The lowest-order treatment of the short-range repulsion in the nucleon-nucleon interaction (the separation method) and an improved treatment including some of the effect of the nuclear medium on the interaction (dispersion effect) are reviewed. Density dependence and effective three-body interactions and also isospin asymmetry effects are… more

Systematic approach for assessment of alternative nuclear waste management strategies

Description: A systematic approach for alternative nuclear waste management assessment is prescribed for evaluating the fate and transport of radwaste in the environment and to man. The approach consists of a system of flow dynamic and waste transport models for the physical environment, transfer models to biota, and dose models to man. Flow dynamic and waste transport models are included for computing spatial-temporal variations of the flow field and radwaste concentration in subsurface aquifers, surface w… more

Lectures on probability and statistics. Revision

Description: These notes are based on a set of statistics lectures delivered at Imperial College to the first-year postgraduate students in High Energy Physics. They are designed for the professional experimental scientist. They begin with the fundamentals of probability theory, in which one makes statements about the set of possible outcomes of an experiment, based upon a complete a priori understanding of the experiment. For example, in a roll of a set of (fair) dice, one understands a priori that any giv… more

Optical systems for synchrotron radiation. Lecture 3. Monochromator systems. Revision

Description: General properties of monochromators are discussed, and some useful formulas for optical design are given. The discussion is limited to the Rowland reflection grating. Topics covered include focussing properties of a toroidal grating, aberrations, dispersion, resolution, and phase space acceptance. (LEW)

Self-consistent theory of hadron-nucleus scattering. Application to pion physics

Description: The requirement of using self-consistent amplitudes to evaluate microscopically the scattering of strongly interacting particles from nuclei is developed. Application of the idea to a simple model of pion-nucleus scattering is made. Numerical results indicate that the expansion of the optical potential converges when evaluated in terms of fully self-consistent quantities. A comparison of the results to a recent determination of the spreading interaction in the phenomenological isobar-hole model… more

Configuration space methods in the three-nucleon problem

Description: The assumptions underlying the formulation and solution of the Schroedinger equation for three nucleons in configuration space are reviewed. Those qualitative aspects of the two-nucleon problem which play an important role in the trinucleon are discussed. The geometrical aspects of the problem are developed, and the importance of the angular momentum barrier is demonstrated. The Faddeev-Noyes formulation of the Schroedinger equation is motivated, and the boundary conditions for various three-bo… more

Degradation of transuranic-contaminated wastes under geologic isolation conditions

Description: An extensive experimental study of the degradation of existing forms of defense-related, transuranic-contaminated (TRU) wastes is being conducted by and for Sandia Laboratories. Studies have been performed under environmental conditions expected for deep geologic isolation in the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), a bedded-salt TRU waste repository planned for southeastern New Mexico. A primary purpose of this program has been to support the US Department of Energy in establishing waste accept… more

Three-nucleon problem: trinucleon bound states and trinucleon interactions

Description: The assumptions underlying the formulation and solution of the Schroedinger equation for three nucleons in configuration space are reviewed, in conjunction with those qualitative aspects of the two-nucleon problem which are important. The geometrical features of the problem and the crucial role of the angular momentum barrier are developed. The boundary conditions for scattering are discussed qualitatively, and the Faddeev-Noyes equation is motivated. The method of splines and orthogonal colloc… more

A practical guide to modern high energy particle accelerators

Description: The purpose of these lectures is to convey an understanding of how particle accelerators work and why they look the way they do. The approach taken is physically intuitive rather than mathematically rigorous. The emphasis is on the description of proton circular accelerators and colliders. Linear accelerators are mentioned only in passing as sources of protons for higher energy rings. Electron accelerators/storage rings and antiproton sources are discussed only by way of brief descriptions of t… more

Origin, magnitude, and treatment of radioactive wastes

Description: Radioactive wastes in solid, liquid, and gaseous forms are generated wherever radioactive materials are handled. Unlike conventional industrial wastes, most of them are not amenable (within presently available technology) to treatment that can destroy their toxicity. They become innocuous only through natural decay, and many of the isotopes of concern decay so slowly that they must be isolated from the environment for hundreds of thousands of years. The primary objective of nuclear waste manage… more
