Alternative oxidizers for strip coal mine blasting agents. [Including study of possible substitutes; 53 references]

Description: Since ammonium nitrate manufacture is dependent on natural gas, a shortage in natural gas could lead to a critical shortage in coal by limiting the availability of ammonium nitrate for blasting. The purpose of this study was to assess the future availability of ammonium nitrate and to evaluate the potential of alternative oxidizers not dependent upon natural gas for use in blasting agents. Increased storage capacities and rapidly increasing levels of relativey cheap imported ammonia appear to e… more

Analysis of a water moderated critical assembly with anisn-Vitamin C

Description: A tightly packed water moderated /sup 233/UO/sub 2/--ThO/sub 2/ critical assembly was analyzed with the Vitamin C library and the 1-D S/s n/ code, ANISN (S/sub 8/,P/sub 3/). The purpose of the study was to provide validation of this calculational model as applied to water-cooled hybrid fusion blankets. The quantities compared were the core eigenvalue and various activation shapes. The calculated eigenvalue was 1.02 +- 0.01. The /sup 233/U fission and /sup 232/Th capture shapes were found to be … more

Analysis of level control valve seat from the recycle condensate separator an the Ft. Lewis, Washington, SRC Pilot Plant

Description: A seat from the level control valve for the recycle condensate separator at the Ft. Lewis Solvent Refined Coal pilot plant was removed from service when cracks were noticed during routine maintenance. One crack extended completely through the 17-4 PH stainless steel trim set. Metallographic examination and hardness measurements revealed that the aging temperature used in heat-treating the martensitic precipitation-hardenable steel was too low, resulting in a material with an improper balance of… more

Analysis of photovoltaic/thermal electric power plant systems

Description: A conceptual definition and performance evaluation of a 100 megawatt (MW) hybrid photovoltaic/thermal electric power plant has been carried out. The concept utilizes the ability of gallium arsenide photovoltaic cells to achieve high conversion efficiency at high incident fluxes and elevated temperatures. Solar energy is focused by a field of steerable mirrors (heliostats) onto a tower mounted receiver whose outer surface is covered with gallium arsenide (AlGaAs/GaAs) solar cells and whose inner… more

Analysis of piping systems with nonlinear supports subjected to seismic loading

Description: An analytical study of effects of nonlinearities in piping supports on response to seismic excitation is presented. Response calculations for simplified single degree of freedom nonlinear models are used to illustrate sensitivity to stiffness variations, lost motion and impact damping. Seismic responses of typical spans of various sizes of piping supported by both linear and nonlinear constraints are compared to assess the support load magnifications due to impacting. The idealized nonlinear pi… more

Applicability of flat plate methods in determining fluid/structure interaction effects in BWR pressure suppression systems

Description: Flat plate chord tests are one experimental method used to investigate how fluid/structure interaction (FSI) effects modify the impulsive loading in nuclear reactor pressure suppression pools. This analytical study examines the applicability of using a flexible flat plate in an otherwise rigid shell to model dynamic pool wall response in a flexible shell pressure suppression torus. Bubble pressures varying by a factor of seven are used as input to two-dimensional finite-element models. Boundary… more

Application of diffusion research to solar energy policy issues

Description: This paper examines two types of information requirements that appear to be basic to DOE solar-energy-policy decisions: (1) how can the future market success of solar energy technologies be estimated, and (2) what factors influence the adoption of solar energy technologies, and what specific programs could promote solar energy adoption most effectively. This paper assesses the ability of a body of research, referred to here as diffusion research, to supply information that could partially satis… more

Application of fisheries management techniques to assessing impacts: task I report. [Assessment of chemical, radiological, and thermal impacts of nuclear power plants on fish populations]

Description: Task I efforts examined the available fisheries management techniques and assessed their potential application in a confirmatory monitoring program. The objective of such monitoring programs is to confirm that the prediction of an insignificant impact (usually made in the FES) was correct. Fisheries resource managers have developed several tools for assessing the fish population response to stress (exploitation) and they were thought potentially useful for detecting nuclear power plant impacts.… more

Approximate model for toroidal force balance in the high-beta stellarator

Description: A simple model for estimating the body force acting on a diffuse plasma confined in a three-dimensional, high-beta stellarator geometry is given. The equilibrium is treated by an asymptotic expansion about a straight theta pinch with diffuse, circular cross section. The expansion parameter delta is the strength of the applied helical fields. This expansion leads to an inconsistent set of equations for the equilibrium in second order. Nevertheless, by averaging the equilibrium equations over the… more
