Pilot Plant Development Studies of a Continuous Process for Recovering Uranium From Nichrome Fuels

Description: Pilot plant studies were conducted to develop a continuous process for recovering uranium from nichrome fuels (HTRE). The process consisted of dissolution of fuel in mixed HCl--HNO/sub 3/ solution, removal of the chloride ion by stripping with HNO/sub 3/ in a packed column, and then recovery of the uranium by TBP solvent extraction. Recovery of uranium from nichrome fuels at satisfactory rates and efficiencies can be obtained by this process. Reactor fuels containing large amounts of silica may… more

Survey of Magnetic Fields Near BPA 230-kV and 500-kV Transmission Lines.

Description: The purpose of this study was to characterize typical levels and variability of 60Hz magnetic fields at the centerline and edge of right-of-way of Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) 230-kV and 500-kV transmission lines. This was accomplished by taking magnetic field measurements at over 800 spans in Oregon and Washington. The spans were sampled using a stratified random sampling procedure with region (East vs. West), voltage (230-kV vs 500-kV), and circuit configuration as strata. There were… more

Operating procedures: Fusion Experiments Analysis Facility

Description: The Fusion Experiments Analysis Facility (FEAF) is a computer facility based on a DEC VAX 11/780 computer. It became operational in late 1982. At that time two manuals were written to aid users and staff in their interactions with the facility. This manual is designed as a reference to assist the FEAF staff in carrying out their responsibilities. It is meant to supplement equipment and software manuals supplied by the vendors. Also this manual provides the FEAF staff with a set of consistent, w… more

Feasibility Study of a New Mass Flow System. Quarterly Report No. 5, June 1, 1961 to August 31, 1961

Description: Activities are reported on development work on a mass flow system capable of measuring externally the properties of homogeneous flow, slurries, highly corrosive fluids, and multi-phase fiuids. In the proposed system, the fluid passes through an S-shaped tube wherein measurements of angular momentum and density yield mass flow directly. (B.O.G.)

Advective-diffusive/dispersive transport of chemically reacting species in hydrothermal systems. Final report, FY83-85

Description: A general formulation of multi-phase fluid flow coupled to chemical reactions was developed based on a continuum description of porous media. A preliminary version of the computer code MCCTM was constructed which implemented the general equations for a single phase fluid. The computer code MCCTM incorporates mass transport by advection-diffusion/dispersion in a one-dimensional porous medium coupled to reversible and irreversible, homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions. These reactions… more

Why search for double beta decay

Description: Searching for neutrinoless double beta decay is the only known practical method for trying to determine whether neutrinos are their own antiparticles. The theoretical motivation for supposing that they may indeed be their own antiparticles is described. The reason that it is so difficult to ascertain experimentally whether they are or are not is explained, as is the special sensitivity of neutrinoless double beta decay. The potential implications of the observation of this reaction for neutrino… more

Automatic beam centering at the SSC interaction regions

Description: In the SSC interaction regions, the two colliding beams, each only a few microns in size, will have to be centered and maintained in good alignment over many hours, in order to provide the maximum possible luminosity and to minimize off-center beam-beam focussing effects. It is unlikely that sufficiently good alignment can be achieved without some kind of active feedback system, based on the beam-beam interaction rate. This memo describes such a system. In the proposed scheme, one of the beams … more

BX in situ oil shale project. Quarterly technical progress report, September 1-November 30, 1981

Description: September 1, 1981-November 30, 1981, was the fourth consecutive quarter of superheated steam injection at the BX In Situ Oil Shale Project. During the quarter, 117,520 barrels of water as steam were injected into project injection wells at an average wellhead temperature of 715/sup 0/F and an average wellhead pressure of 1378 PSIG. During the same period, 148,516 barrels of fluid were produced from the project production wells for a produced-to-injected fluid ratio of 1.26 to 1.0. Net oil produ… more

Laser produced plasma soft x-ray generation

Description: The efficiency of soft x-ray production from laser-irradiated plasmas is simulated for two different spectral regions. These two regions, 14{Angstrom} {plus minus} 15% and 130{Angstrom} {plus minus} 1%, were chosen for proximity mask or point-projection technological applications. Relatively large conversion efficiencies were obtained from irradiation of a stainless steel target using the conditions suggested by recent Hampshire Instruments' experiments for proximity masking. Pulse-width and la… more

Applications of Micellar Enzymology to Clean Coal Technology

Description: This project is designed to develop methods for pre-combustion coal remediation by implementing recent advances in enzyme biochemistry. The novel approach of this study is incorporation of hydrophilic oxidative enzymes in reverse micelles in an organic solvent. Enzymes from commercial sources or microbial extracts are being investigated for their capacity to remove organic sulfur from coal by oxidation of the sulfur groups, splitting of C-S bonds and loss of sulfur as sulfuric acid Dibenzothiop… more

Directions for possible upgrades of the Mirror Fusion Test Facility (MFTF)

Description: The Mirror Fusion Test Facility (MFTF) may be upgraded by extending the time of plasma sustenance in an approach to steady-state operation and/or by increasing the neutral-beam injection energy. Some parameter bounds for these upgrades are discussed as they relate to a definition of the required neutral-beam development.

Elementary reaction rate measurements at high temperatures by tunable-laser flash-absorption

Description: The major objective of this program is to measure thermal rate coefficients and branching ratios of elementary reactions. To perform these measurements, we have constructed an ultrahigh-purity shock tube to generate temperatures between 1000 and 5500 K. The tunable-laser flash-absorption technique is used to measure the rate of change of the concentration of species which absorb below 50,000 cm{sup {minus}1} e.g.: OH, CH, and CH{sub 3}. This technique is being extended into the vacuum-ultraviol… more

Plutonium Residue Recovery (PuRR) project quarterly progress report, April--June 1989

Description: A material-balance flowsheet for ash-heel processing has been prepared. The major process features are (1) reduction of Pu into a calcium-zinc alloy and selective electrolytic recovery of the Pu from the alloy, (2) removal of americium as a waste, (3) concentration of nontransuranic tramp elements in a zinc waste, (4) removal of oxygen and recovery of calcium by electrolysis of CaO, and (5) zinc recycle by evaporation. Based on this idealized flowsheet, the mass of solid waste is only 62% of th… more

Ecological Sampling and Meteorological Calculation of Fallout on Forests Near Oak Ridge

Description: Spatial patterns of radioactive contuamination on forest foliage were measured by gamma spectrometry and are discussed with respect to local vs. world- wide origin of the fallout and implications for ecology, health physics, and management of nuclear facilities. In September 1959, I/sup 131/ on dogwood leaf samples varied from over 500 mu mu c/g dry wt near Oak Ridge National Laboratory stacks to 1 to 7 mu mu c/g near the margins of the Oak Ridge Reservation. Stack fallout tended to occur close… more

Anomalous isotopic composition of cosmic rays

Description: Recent measurements of nonsolar isotopic patterns for the elements neon and (perhaps) magnesium in cosmic rays are interpreted within current models of stellar nucleosynthesis. One possible explanation is that the stars currently responsible for cosmic-ray synthesis in the Galaxy are typically super-metal-rich by a factor of two to three. Other possibilities include the selective acceleration of certain zones or masses of supernovas or the enhancement of /sup 22/Ne in the interstellar medium by… more
