Study Report: High Speed Data Acquisition System for PRTR

Description: High speed data handling and computing systems are coming into increasing use in the automatic control of complex industrial processes. One of the next significant developments in reactor design is believed to be the application of high speed data handling and control systems to nuclear reactors. This document is a study of such a system intended for use with the Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor.

A superconducting linac as the driver of the energy amplifier

Description: Because of the safer and more reliable mode of operation, a Superconducting Linac is proposed here as the proton beam accelerator which drives a nuclear plant based on the concept of the Energy Amplifier. The accelerator has also high electric power efficiency. An example based on the net generation of 400 MW (electric) is described here. This requires a proton beam energy of 1 GeV with a continuous beam current of 10 mA, corresponding to a beam power of 10 MW.

Nuclear Reactors and Earthquakes

Description: A book is presented which supplies pertinent seismological information to engineers in the nuclear reactor field. Data are presented on the occurrence, intensity, and wave shapes. Techniques are described for evaluating the response of structures to such events. Certain reactor types and their modes of operation are described briefly. Various protection systems are considered. Earthquake experience in industrial and reactor plants is described. (D.L.C.)
