Comparison of standing-wave and traveling-wave structures

Description: The controversy over the relative advantages of standing-wave and traveling-wave linear accelerators is now in its fourth decade. It has been fed by a considerable body of misinformation. The author hopes in this paper to shed some light on the subject, and expose some of the falsehoods. The discussion is directed toward the question of which structure to use for short pulse high field electron accelerators since it is almost universally accepted that standing-wave structures are appropriate fo… more

The TITAN Reversed-Field Pinch Reactor: Design-point determination and parametric studies

Description: The multi-institutional TITAN study has examined the physics, technology, safety, and economics issues associated with the operation of a Reversed-Field Pinch (RFP) magnetic fusion reactor at high power density. A comprehensive system and trade study have been conducted as an integral and ongoing part of the reactor assessment. Attractive design points emerging from these parametric studies are subjected to more detailed analysis and design integration, the results of which are used to refine t… more

Recent progress in stellarator reactor conceptual design

Description: The Stellarator/Torsatron/Heliotron (S/T/H) class of toroidal magnetic fusion reactor designs continues to offer a distinct and in several ways superior approach to eventual commercial competitiveness. Although no major, integrated conceptual reactor design activity is presently underway, a number of international research efforts suggest avenues for the substantial improvement of the S/T/H reactor embodiment, which derive from recent experimental and theoretical progress and are responsive to … more

Chemistry and materials in geothermal systems

Description: The development of a geothermal fluid, from its origin as meteoric water precipitating on the earth's surface, as it flows through the soils and rocks of geological formations, to the point where it returns to the surface as a hot spring, geyser, well, etc. is traced. Water of magmatic origin is also included. The tendency of these hydrothermal fluids to form scales by precipitation of a portion of their dissolved solids is noted. A discussion is presented of types of information required for m… more

Corrosion of copper base alloys in a geothermal brine. SPE Paper No. 7881

Description: The geothermal environment and the experimental procedures and schedules for corrosion tests of copper-base alloys are described. Corrosive attack on these materials was mostly uniform. Some selective leaching of alloying elements was observed, as was crevice corrosion, but the extent of these forms of corrosion was minor. The results of these tests show a trend toward higher corrosion rates with increasing copper content, for the brass alloys. Commercially pure copper, however, showed corrosio… more

Monte Carlo simulation of neutral beam injection into fusion reactors

Description: Motivations and techniques for the Monte Carlo computer simulation of energetic neutral beam injection for fusion reactors are described. The versatility of this approach allows a significantly more sophisticated treatment of charge transfer collision phenomena and consequent effects on engineering design than available from prior work. Exemplary results for a mirror Fusion Engineering Research Facility (FERF) are discussed. (auth)

Effects of burnup on fuel failure. Power burst tests on fuel rods with 13,000 and 32,000 MWd/MTU burnup

Description: Results are presented from preliminary tests designed to investigate the behavior of preirradiated fuel rods under reactivity initiated accident (RIA) conditions. The tests were conducted in 1970 as part of the SPERT/Capsule Driver Core (CDC) program. The report was intended to be published in a series of Idaho Nuclear Corporation Interim Technical Reports (IN-ITRs); however, the CDC program was terminated before the report could be released. In September 1975, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission… more

Wind loads on flat plate photovoltaic array fields. Phase II. Final report

Description: This report describes a theoretical study of the aerodynamic forces resulting from winds acting on flat plate photovoltaic arrays. Local pressure distributions and total aerodynamic forces on the arrays are shown. Design loads are presented to cover the conditions of array angles relative to the ground from 20/sup 0/ to 60/sup 0/, variable array spacings, a ground clearance gap up to 1.2 m (4 ft) and array slant heights of 2.4 m (8 ft) and 4.8 m (16 ft). Several means of alleviating the wind lo… more

Use of hodoscopes at ISABELLE

Description: A major problem for experimenters designing detectors for use at ISABELLE is the high interaction rate, one event every 25 nanoseconds at a luminosity of 10/sup 33/ cm/sup -2/ sec/sup -1/. Typical multiplicities range from a few at large angles (> approximately 45/sup 0/) to approximately 10 nearer the forward direction. This implies average rates as high as a particle every few nanoseconds. For experiments which require high luminosities, detectors must be designed which have very short (appro… more

New method for positron production at SLAC

Description: The focusing system for the positron beam at SLAC makes use of an adiabatically tapered solenoid whose transverse acceptance remains high over a broad energy band. From the computed distribution in energy of the accepted positrons, one can estimate that approximately one-half of the total number of positrons lies within the energy band from 2 - 4 MeV. Due to the debunching effect over the drift space following the target, only the high energy part (from 4.5 MeV to 10 MeV or more) of the accepte… more

A cluster klystron

Description: We consider a honeycomb-like array of 126 individual klystrinos all fed from a single high-voltage source and all focused by a single axial magnetic field. It is argued that such a device may be a practical and economic power source for a TeV Linear Collider. It could be used either as a source of 1/2 sec rf pulses to be binary pulse compressed or, with a grid cathode and oil line energy storage, as a direct source of power. 7 refs., 7 figs., 1 tab.

DIE Deflection Modeling: Empirical Validation and Tech Transfer

Description: This report summarizes computer modeling work that was designed to help understand how the die casting die and machine contribute to parting plane separation during operation. Techniques developed in earlier research (8) were applied to complete a large computational experiment that systematically explored the relationship between the stiffness of the machine platens and key dimensional and structural variables (platen area covered, die thickness, platen thickness, thickness of insert and the l… more

Removal of silica from Raft River geothermal water

Description: Lack of sufficient quantities of clean surface or near-surface water at Raft River for cooling purposes dictates that cooled geothermal fluid, effluent from the Raft River 5 MW(e) Pilot Power Plant, must also be used as condenser coolant. Prior testing revealed that a water-treatment system would be required to reduce silica and calcium concentrations of the cooling fluid. The water-treatment system specified was to use dolomitic lime for both pH adjustment and source of magnesium. The dolomiti… more

Six phase rectifier digital computer simulation

Description: A digital computer program has been developed for the simulation of a six-pulse converter with a resistance-inductance load. The program calculates the time histories of the voltages and currents on both the ac and dc sides of the rectifier bridges. The grid delay angle is calculated in terms of the load current, supply voltage, and commutating reactance. The program is written in FORTRAN and is executable on the CDC7600 Plotted output of ten variables can be requested. This program is a prelim… more
