Water reuse achieved by zero discharge of aqueous waste

Description: Plans for zero discharge of aqueous waste from ERDA's nuclear weapons plant near Denver are discussed. Two plants - a process waste treatment facility now under construction, and a reverse osmosis desalting plant now under design, will provide total reuse of waste water for boiler feed and cooling tower supply. Seventy million gallons of water per year will be conserved and downstream municipalities will be free of inadvertent pollution hazards.

MAFJ: some simple additions to MAFCO. [Generates magnetic fields resulting from collections of current elements, for CDC 7600 computer]

Description: MAFJ is a revision of the MAFCO code which generates magnetic fields (B) resulting from collections of current elements. In addition to the original MAFCO's capabilities, MAFJ follows field lines through a region of interest and calculates integrals of functions along these lines. It can also generate three-dimensional grids of B. MAFJ runs from eight to 15 times faster than MAFCO, depending on the types of current elements chosen. 2 tables.

Photodensitometer measurements of images on radiographs

Description: An x-ray photodensitometer provided accurate and precise measurements of linear dimensions on radiograph images. These measurements helped to infer the hidden dimensions of objects radiographed. A goal was to achieve an accuracy of +-25 ..mu..m. The recorded accuracy did not measure up to the precision, which, under favorable conditions, was +-25 ..mu..m. Systematic errors caused the errors in absolute value to be considerably higher in some cases. To satisfy this, auxiliary calibrations were m… more

Pesticide residue analysis of storm-drain waters, 1975

Description: Runoff-water samples for the first, third, and fourth quarters of 1975 were analyzed for pesticide residues at LLL and independently by the LFE Environmental Analysis Laboratories. For the compounds analyzed, upper limits to possible contamination were placed conservatively at the low parts-per-billion level. In addition, soil samples were also analyzed. Future work will continue to include quarterly sampling and will be broadened in scope to include quantitative analysis of a larger number of … more

Application of Yerzley mechanical oscillograph to testing of Y3333 cellular silicone (progress report 1). [Density; thickness; resilience; effective dynamic modulus]

Description: The usefulness of the Yerzley mechanical oscillograph in detecting differences among Y3333 cellular silicones was evaluated. Four properties of Y3333 were measured: density, thickness, resilience, and effective dynamic modulus. Test samples came from five lots of standard Y3333 compound and from two lots of experimental Y3333. Tests of the four properties revealed that individual sheets of Y3333 were homogeneous. Since sheets from the same lot differed little in properties, normal process varia… more

Present status of mirror stability theory. [Review of 2X and MX programs]

Description: A status report of microinstability as it applies to 2XIIB and MX theory for mirror machines is presented. It is shown that quasilinear computations reproduce many of the parameters observed in the 2XIIB experiment. In regard to large mirror machines, there are presented detailed calculations of the linear theory of the drift cyclotron loss-cone mode, with inhomogeneous geometry and nonlinear diffusive effects. Further, the stability of a mirror machine to the Alfven ion-cyclotron instability i… more

Molten salt extraction of americium from molten plutonium metal

Description: The chemical basis for molten salt extraction separation of americium from plutonium is presented. The extraction factor relationship is used to quantify this liquid-liquid extraction (molten salt-molten metal) unit operation. The amount of salt required for an optimum process is an order of magnitude lower than the amount used previously in the production operation of the process.

Continental Shelf Processes Effecting the Oceanography of the South Atlantic Bight. Annual Report, June 1, 1975--May 31, 1976

Description: This completes the first year of the ERDA funded South Atlantic Bight study and much of the activity involved equipment acquisition and historical data analysis. However, in spite of the lack of equipment, we did run a full scale experiment in Onslow Bay in September 1975 and data acquired forms the principal scientific results for the year. Data reports and publications are attached. The accomplishments, scientific and otherwise, are summarized on the next few pages followed by a more lengthy … more

High frequency system project implementation plan. [Diagnostic recording system for Nevada Test Site]

Description: The High Frequency System is a new mobile, digital diagnostic recording system for use at the Nevada Test Site. Many different kinds of event data will be digitized in real-time by this system, and these data will be recorded and stored for later read-out and transmission to NADCEN. The hardware and software requirements of the High Frequency System are examined, and the parameters of the system are proposed.

Electron clearing for the ISA proton beam

Description: The circulating protons in the ISABELLE intersecting storage ring accelerator will collide with the residual gas in the vacuum chamber. The electrons produced will tend to be captured by the potential well of the beam itself and result in a neutralization of the space charge of the beam. A detailed analysis is given of the various mechanisms which can be used to reduce the net degree of beam neutralization. It is concluded that the average neutralization will be about 10/sup -4/ for a residual … more

Incoherent scattering of gamma rays by K-shell electrons. [Differential cross sections, 145 to 662 KeV]

Description: Differential cross sections for incoherent scattering by K-shell electrons were measured, using coincidence techniques, for incident photons having energies of 662 keV, 320 keV, and 145 keV. The spectral distributions of the scattered photons emerging at scattering angles from 20/sup 0/ to about 140/sup 0/ are reported. Target materials were iron, tin, holmium, and gold at 320 keV; tin and gold at 662 keV; and iron and tin at 145 keV. A typical energy spectrum consists of a scattered peak that … more

Power matching for pellet fusion

Description: The number of beams required for optimum power transfer from a given power source to the surface of a pellet is derived. The result is valid for linear optical systems, hence, for pellet fusion by laser or high energy ion beams. The optimum number of beams turns out to be inconceivably large for any practical system. Practical pellet fusion by lasers or high energy heavy ion beams must thus compromise physical principles in favor of reduced cost and optical complexity.

Continental Shelf Processes Effecting the Oceanography of the South Atlantic Bight. Hydrography of Onslow Bay, North Carolina: September 1975 (OBIS II). Progress Report

Description: Over the course of OBIS II, 3-14 September, two intrusion cores were observed. One was apparently trapped nearshore over much of the study period, but as time went on, it either dissipated, moved too far shoreward or moved too far laterally along the shelf to be detected by the existing observational grid. The other (later) intrusion was first detected on 5-7 September and was observed to be moving into the Bay from the southeast over the remainder of the study period. Plots of the horizontal t… more
