Conceptual design study on incorporating a 25-ton/day pyrolysis unit into an operating total energy system. Final report

Description: The results of a conceptual design study on incorporating a pyrolysis unit into an existing total energy plant are presented. The objectives of this study were to examine the institutional, technical and economic factors affecting the incorporation of a 25-ton/day pyrolysis unit into the Indian Creek Total Energy Plant. The Indian Creek total energy plant is described. Results of the conceptual design are presented. A survey of the availability of waste materials and a review of health and safe… more

Relativistic particle beam in a semi-infinite, axially symmetric conducting channel extending from a perfectly conducting plane

Description: The electromagnetic field configuration generated if there is no wall surrounding the channel is investigated. An azimuthally symmetric channel of given uniform, finite, conductivity and radius is treated. It is shown that if Q is the total charge in the pulse, then the total charge that passes through any plane z > 0 is exactly equal to Q and that as the pulse moves through the channel and the distance from the ground plane to the pulse approaches infinity, the electromagnetic field configurat… more

Soviet paper on laser target heating, symmetry of irradiation, and two-dimensional effects on compression

Description: Included is a paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Plasma Physics Division of the American Physical Society in San Francisco on November 19, 1976. The paper discusses some theoretical problems of laser target irradiation and compression investigated at the laboratory of quantum radiophysics of Lebedev Physical Institute. Of significant interest was the absorption and reflection of laser radiation in the corona plasma of a laser target. (MOW)

Thermal conductivity of halite using a pulsed laser

Description: A feasibility study of the experimental determination of thermal conductivities of salts (NaCl) and a steel casing material using a pulsed laser technique are presented. Optically transparent materials such as salt were effectively coated with an opaque layer of aluminum or silver to satisfy test boundary conditions. Thermal conductivities for the three specimens were obtained from the thermal diffusivity, heat capacity and density relationship. Based on measurements from room temperature to 92… more

Online high sensitivity measurement system for transuranic aerosols

Description: A measurement system for transuranic aerosols has been designed that will be able to withstand the corrosive nature of stack effluents and yet have extremely high sensitivity. It will be capable of measuring 1 maximum permissible concentration (MPC) of plutonium or americium in 30 minutes with a fractional standard deviation of less than 0.33. Background resulting from /sup 218/Po is eliminated by alpha energy discrimination and a decay scheme analysis. A microprocessor controls all data acquis… more
