Technology Development for a Neutrino AstrophysicalObservatory

Description: We propose a set of technology developments relevant to the design of an optimized Cerenkov detector for the study of neutrino interactions of astrophysical interest. Emphasis is placed on signal processing innovations that enhance significantly the quality of primary data. These technical advances, combined with field experience from a follow-on test deployment, are intended to provide a basis for the engineering design for a kilometer-scale Neutrino Astrophysical Observatory.

Preliminary low-level waste feed staging plan

Description: A Preliminary Low-Level Waste Feed Staging Plan was prepared. The plan supports the Phase I privatization effort by providing recommendations that may influence the technical content of the final request for proposal, and the interface control documents for the turnover of two double-shell tanks (DST) to the private contractors for use as feed tanks and the transfer of supernate to these tanks. Additionally, the preliminary schedule of feed staging activities will be useful to both RL and the p… more

Dry-out and low temperature calcination of DST/SST waste blend high temperature melter feed

Description: The FY1994 DST/SST blend was prepared in accordance with the DST/SST blend feed specification. The laboratory preparation steps and observations were compared with an existing experience base to verify the acceptability of the feed specification for simulant make-up. The most significant test results included a variety of features. Ferrocyanide breaks down to NH{sub 3} plus formate, during the low-temperature calcining phase of the tests. Ferrocyanide displayed no redox reactivity with the nitr… more

Fingerprinting of groundwater by ICP-MS. Quarterly progress report, October 1, 1995--December 31, 1995

Description: This document is a progress report for the Fingerprinting of Ground Water by ICP-MS project during the time period from October 1, 1995 to December 31, 1995. The groundwater fingerprinting study has been expanded by including samples from more wells on the Nevada Test Site and from the region east and north of Yucca Mountain as well as from several more springs in the area. Geochemical analyses of these new samples were performed in order to more thoroughly evaluate the regional groundwater che… more

PCR detection of groundwater bacteria associated with colloidal transport

Description: Colloidal transport may increase the amount of contaminant material than that which could be transported by water flow alone. The role of colloids in groundwater contaminant transport is complicated and may involve many different processes, including sorption of elements onto colloidal particles, coagulation/dissolution, adsorption onto solid surfaces, filtration, and migration. Bacteria are known to concentrate minerals and influence the transport of compounds in aqueous environments and may a… more

Supernova-Relevant Hydrodynamic Instability Experiment on the Nova Laser

Description: Supernova 1987A focused attention on the critical role of hydrodynamic instabilities in the evolution of supernovae. On quite a separate front, the detrimental effect of hydrodynamic instabilities in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) has long been known. Tools from both areas are being tested on a common project. At Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), the Nova Laser is being used in scaled laboratory experiments of hydrodynamic mixing under supernova-relevant conditions. Numerical si… more

Selective transformation of carbonyl ligands to organic molecules. Final report, November 15, 1992--November 14, 1995

Description: The hydrosilation chemistry involving manganese acyl complexes (L)(CO){sub 4}MnC(O)R (L = CO, PPh{sub 3}; R = CH{sub 3}, Ph) as substrates and as precatalysts has been developed. Results of a kinetics study on the (CO){sub 5}Mn(p-toluoyl)-catalyzed SiH/SiD exchange between DSiMe{sub 2}Ph and HSiMe{sub 2}Et established that coordinatively unsaturated (CO){sub 4}MnSiR{sub 3}, the active catalyst, sequentially adds one substrate silane and then releases a product silane. Results of this mechanisti… more

Laboratory procedure for the rheological characterization of slurry suspensions

Description: This procedure provides rheology measurements that are more reliable and accurate than those described in the technical procedure PNL-(WTC-006-4). Methods are provided to measure the sweep rheogram and steady shear viscosity with concentric cylinders, to measure the yield stress directly with a shear vane, and to measure the sweep rheogram with parallel plates.
