Waste Treatment and Disposal Progress Report for June and July 1961

Description: 7 7 6 4 : 9 8 9 6 5 : 9 aluminum nitrate waste was calcined in the close-coupled continuous evaporator-pot calciner unit. Waste oxides from TBP-25 waste were incorporated into glassy materials after the addition of phosphate and borate fluxing agents. Melts formed at 850 to 950 deg C were glassy solids when cooled and had densities from 2.41 to 2.47 g/ml. Waste volurne reduction factors were from 7.6 to 9.3. Low-Level Waste Treatment. A demonstration run was completed in the 60 liters/hr scaven… more

A Comprehensive Study of the Neutron Activation Analysis of Uranium by Delayed-Neutron Counting

Description: The method of neutron activation analysis of U by delayed-neutron counting was investigated in order to ascertain if the method would be suitable for routine application to such analyses. It was shown that the method can be used extensively and routinely for the determination of U. Emphasis was placed on the determination of U in the types of sample materials encountered in nuclear technology. Determinations of U were made on such materials as ores, granite, sea sediments, biological tissue, gr… more

SNAP 7 Program--Task 8--Strontium-90 Fueled Thermoelectric Generator Development. Quarterly Progress Report No. 5, November 1, 1961 to January 31, 1962

Description: The SNAP 7A battery and converter were subjected to the required shock, vibration and temperature teats. The generator was fueled, postfueling radiation levels were checked and the generator was integrated into the complete SNAP 7A system. After the completion of acceptance tests, the SNAP 7A system was installed in a buoy which, in turn, was anchored in the bay where it will be subjected to further evaluation. The SNAP 7C generator was shipped for transport to Antarctica. The generator will po… more

Analysis of the potential use of geothermal energy for power generation along the Texas Gulf Coast

Description: Three forms of potential geothermal energy may exist in the State of Texas: hot rocks in the Trans Pecos region, convection type geothermal water in the Rio Grande Rift basin, and geopressured geothermal water along the Gulf Coast. Of these, only the geopressured waters have been verified. Exploration wells for oil and gas have established the presence of deep hot water deposits along the coastal area, offshore and inland for 75 miles. These exist in thick shale and sand beds in the geopressure… more

100,000 quads of natural gas

Description: Of the various possible unconventional natural gas resources that have been examined, the most recent, and by far the largest, is that which is dissolved in the hot salt water within the geopressurized zones of the Gulf Coast. Recent assessments have estimated that the amount of gas contained in these waters, underlying about 150,000 sq. mi. of Texas and Louisiana--both onshore and offshore--is between 60,000 and 100,000 quads. In addition to the natural gas, there is a huge potential for produ… more

Detailed test program for the Niland Geothermal Test Facility. Final report

Description: This report presents a test program for the Niland Geothermal Test Facility. It contains a detailed description of 18 tasks. Each of these tasks discusses the objectives, justification and relation to future design, general test procedures, test conditions, required experimental measurements, and methods of calculation and expected results. Implementation of these tasks will provide the basic information necessary for the design, construction, and initial operation of a 50-MWe geothermal demons… more

Geotechnical environmental aspects of geothermal power generation at Herber, Imperial Valley, California

Description: The feasibility of constructing a 25-50 MWe geothermal power plant using low salinity hydrothermal fluid as the energy source was assessed. Here, the geotechnical aspects of geothermal power generation and their relationship to environmental impacts in the Imperial Valley of California were investigated. Geology, geophysics, hydrogeology, seismicity and subsidence are discussed in terms of the availability of data, state-of-the-art analytical techniques, historical and technical background and … more

Advanced design and economic considerations for commercial geothermal power plants at Heber and Niland, California. Final report

Description: Two separate studies, involving advanced design and economic considerations for commercial geothermal power plants using liquid-dominated hydrothermal resources, are presented. In the first study, the effects on design, capital cost, and bus bar electric energy production cost caused by an anticipated decline in available geothermal fluid temperature over the lifetime of power plants are described. A two-stage, flashed-steam energy conversion process was used for the conceptual design of the po… more

SDG and E - DOE Geothermal Loop Experimental Facility. Quarterly report, July-September 1977 and annual report for the year ending September 1977

Description: This facility utilizes the flash/binary process for the extraction of energy from geothermal brine. Substantial data on brine and steam chemical characteristics, scaling characteristics, scaling rates, and the interaction of these parameters with other plant operating parameters has been obtained. This data is being stored and reduced by Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL). Tests are continuing for one and two-well operation. Development of solutions to the scaling problem, and additional testin… more
