Effect of reactor coolant pumps following a small break in a pressurized water reactor

Description: Small-break loss-of-coolant accidents were calculated to help determine whether to trip the reactor-coolant pumps early in the accident when the reactor scrams or to delay the pump trip (pump trip times ranged from 450 s to no trip at all). Four-in.-diam (approximate) cold-leg breaks in Babcock and Wilcox (B and W) and Westinghouse (W) pressurized-water reactors were investigated using the Transient Reactor Analysis Code, TRAC-PD2. The results indicated that for a 4-in.-diam cold-leg break the … more

Shale fracturing injections at Oak Ridge National Laboratory: 1977-1979 series

Description: Intermediate-level waste solution generated at ORNL is periodically mixed with a cement-base blend of dry solids and injected into an impermeable shale formation at an approximate depth of 240 m (800 ft). The grout mix sets shortly after the injection, permanently fixing the radionuclides in the shale formation. A series of four injections of intermediate-level waste solution was made between 1977 and 1979. A total of 1.2 million l (314,000 gal) of waste solution containing 81,780 Ci of radionu… more

Vacuum system problems of EBT: a steady-state fusion experiment

Description: Many of the vacuum problems faced by EBT will soon be shared by other plasma devices as high-power microwave systems and long pulse lengths become more common. The solutions used on EBT (such as the raised lip with elastomer seal) are not unique; however, experience has shown that microwave-compatible designs must be carefully thought out. All details of the vacuum must be carefully thought out. All details of the vacuum must be carefully screened in advance to insure that microwaves do not lea… more

Energy conservation in ice skating rinks

Description: An economic and energy analysis of ice rinks was made to examine the areas in which energy could be profitably conserved. The areas where new equipment could make a major reduction in energy use are: the use of waste heat for space heating, the installation of a low emissivity false ceiling to reduce radiant heat, the use of a load cycling controller to reduce refrigeration costs, and the installation of more efficient lighting systems. Changes in rink operating procedure that could cut energy … more

Is a 4-train support ''always'' more reliable than a 2-train support

Description: Once the gross features of a frontline fluid system have been defined, one must consider what support system configuration will provide the best overall system performance. This paper considers different dc bus configurations for a given emergency feedwater system. Results indicate that a four-train support system (i.e., 4 dc buses) gives a lower system unavailability for transients, but a higher system unavailability for Anticipated Transients Without Scram (ATWS), than a two-train support sys… more

Doublet III neutral beam injector test tank cryopanel design

Description: A simple condensing cryopanel has been designed for the Doublet III neutral beam test tank with a 320,000 liters per second pumping capacity for hydrogen. This maintains a vacuum in the test tank which simulates the Doublet III vessel, 1.3 x 10/sup -3/ Pa (approx.10/sup -5/ torr). The hydrogen gas load comes from the beam striking the test tank calorimeter and amounts to about 7.2 torr liters per second. The cryopanel is cylindrical shaped with a liquid helium (LHe) surface that pumps through l… more

Irrigation data base for Arizona

Description: Determining the locations in the U.S. where solar energy might be used for irrigation was proposed. One of the first steps in determining these locations is to establish a data base for the agricultural states that extensively use irrigation. The data base must include information on the crops grown, the irrigation wells, and the irrigation pumps. The results of an effort to establish such a data base for the state of Arizona are presented.
