Technical study for the chemical cleaning of Dresden-1. Volume I, Section 1 and 2

Description: A feasibility study has been completed to decontaminate the primary system of the Dresden-1 Nuclear Power Unit operated by Commonwealth Edison Company of Illinois. Available data initially were searched to determine the state of the art. Solvents based on organic acids and chelates gave unsatisfactory deontamination factors or unacceptable corrosion rates when evaluated for cleaning of specimens from the Dresden-1 primary system, under static and dynamic conditions. A new proprietary cleaning s… more

Emerging materials for solar cell applications. First quarter report, February 15-May 31, 1979

Description: Work to develop the theory controlling the electroplating of a compound semiconductor on a transparent, conductive substrate and to demonstrate operative solar cells using the approach is reported. The current program is divided essentially into three paralleled team efforts. The first effort centers on refining the electroplating process at Monosolar so thicker and more uniform layers of p- or n-type cadmium telluride can be plated on both In/sub 2/O/sub 3/:Sn- and Ni- coated substrates. 1 ..m… more

Welding uranium with a multikilowatt, continuous-wave, carbon dioxide laser welder

Description: A 15-kilowatt, continuous-wave carbon dioxide laser was contracted to make partial-penetration welds in 6.35-and 12.7-mm-thick wrought depleted uranium plates. Welding power and speed ranged from 2.3 to 12.9 kilowatts and from 21 to 127 millimeters per second, respectively. Results show that depth-to-width ratios of at least unity are feasible. The overall characteristics of the process indicate it can produce welds resembling those made by the electron-beam welding process.

Thermal energy storage market-oriented background paper

Description: Thermal energy storage (TES) technologies and their applications are discussed. The markets and commercialization status and potential are explored. ERDA TES program plans are presented. It is concluded that the only TES systems ready for immediate commercialization are storage water heating and space heating charged with off-peak electricity. All that is needed for commercialization to occur is the introduction of appropriate split electricity rates or load management contracts. In the near-te… more

Past climate reconstruction: a tool for assessing site suitability

Description: Reconstructing past climatic variations can lead to a better understanding of possible future precipitation and groundwater recharge patterns. Work so far has led to several new insights into past climate variability and will provide input into the hydrologic modeling effort in progress for the Waste Management Program. Short-term reconstructions (0 to 350 y) suggest that the basin and range of the southwestern United States have the driest, least variable precipitation record. The Pacific Nort… more

MST-80B microcomputer trainer. [MST-80B microcomputer monitor]

Description: The microcomputer revolution in electronics is spreading so rapidly that it is difficult to educate enough people quickly and thoroughly in the new technology. Lawrence Livermore Laboratory's MST-80B was developed as a way to speed learning in in-house training courses, and it is now being widely used outside LLL. The MST-80B trainer is a complete, self-contained microcomputer system housed in a briefcase. The trainer uses the Intel 8080A 8-bit microprocessor (CPU), and it has its own solid-sta… more

Mechanical behavior of underground laminar pipe type power cable systems. Progress report

Description: An earlier progress report of December 1978 that was devoted to developing a theory describing the mechanical interaction between the conductor and the insulation is updated. Raw test data was included to indicate the progress made with various tests. It is shown for the first time how this theory is to be combined with some rather sophisticated experimental procedures to describe the detailed internal mechanical response to applied load. It is shown, for example, how compressive and torsional … more

50 kWp Photovoltaic Concentrator Application Experiment, Phase I. Final report, 1 June 1978-28 February 1979

Description: This program consists of a design study and component development for an experimental 50-kWp photovoltaic concentrator system to supply power to the San Ramon substation of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company. The photovoltaic system is optimized to produce peaking power to relieve the air conditioning load on the PG and E system during summer afternoons; and would therefore displace oil-fired power generation capacity. No electrical storage is required. The experiment would use GaAs concentra… more

Thermal and hydraulic analyses of the System 81 cold traps

Description: Thermal and hydraulic analyses of the System 81 Type I and II cold traps were completed except for thermal transients analysis. Results are evaluated, discussed, and reported. Analytical models were developed to determine the physical dimensions of the cold traps and to predict the performance. The FFTF cold trap crystallizer performances were simulated using the thermal model. This simulation shows that the analytical model developed predicts reasonably conservative temperatures. Pressure drop… more

Characterization and analysis of Devonian shales as related to release of gaseous hydrocarbons. Well N-1 Henderson County, Illinois and Well N-2 Tazewell County, Illinois

Description: Core sampling, hydrocarbon gas contents, chemical and physical characterization data are presented. Core samples from these two Illinois basin wells were obtained in July and August 1977. Thirty-one and twenty-three samples were obtained from N-1 and N-2 wells, respectively, amounting to total core length of 940 feet. Shales from Illinois basin wells (such as N-1 and N-2) are characterized by very low hydrocarbon gas contents. In fact, the N-1 and N-2 wells exhibited the lowest hydrocarbon gas … more

Stochastic motion of particles in mirror machines

Description: Several applications of stochasticity theory to particle motion in quiescent mirror machines are discussed. We briefly review the problem of magnetic moment jumps in a conventional mirror machine, and point out the role of stochasticity in extending the mirror loss cone. We consider magnetic moment jumps in a flat-bottomed magnetic well, such as the solenoid of a tandem mirror machine, and find that, for suitable choices of field parameters, the magnetic moment change per bounce passes through … more

Shiva laser system performance

Description: On November 18, 1977, after four years of experimentation, innovation, and construction, the Shiva High Energy Laser facility produced 10.2 kJ of focusable laser energy delivered in a 0.95 ns pulse. The Shiva laser, with its computer control system and delta amplifiers, demonstrated its versatility on May 18, 1978, when the first 20-beam target shot with delta amplifiers focused 26 TW on a target and produced a yield of 7.5 x 10/sup 9/ neutrons.
