Summary of the report of the Senior Committee on Environmental, Safety, and Economic Aspects of Magnetic Fusion Energy

Description: The Senior Committee on Environmental, Safety, and Economic Aspects of Magnetic Fusion Energy (ESECOM) has assessed magnetic fusion energy's prospects for providing energy with economic, environmental, and safety characteristics that would be attractive compared with other energy sources (mainly fission) available in the year 2015 and beyond. ESECOM gives particular attention to the interaction of environmental, safety, and economic characteristics of a variety of magnetic fusion reactors, and … more

VFI: VME/FASTBUS Interface routines

Description: This documents describes the VME/FASTBUS Interface routines (VFI). These routines where designed to enable programs written in PILS running on a MVME 101 under Valet-plus to control a VME/FASTBUS Interface. The routines fall into two general types, control and transaction. The control routines, such as vmec-reset, work directly with the interface's registers. These routines set up and monitor operations between VME and FASTBUS. The transaction routines, such as vfi-write-dat, use the control ro… more

Actinide removal from aqueous solution with activated magnetite

Description: An actinide aqueous waste treatment process using activated magnetite has been developed at Rocky Flats. The use and effectiveness of various magnetites in lowering actinide concentrations in aqueous solution are described. Experiments indicate that magnetite particle size and pretreatment (activation of the magnetite surface with hydroxyl ions greatly influence the effective use of magnetite as an actinide adsorbent. With respect to actinide removal, Ba(OH)/sub 2/-activated magnetite was more … more

The Department of Energy's collection procedures for defaulted Geothermal Loan Guaranties

Description: Delays of up to 2 years were experienced in liquidating $9.5 million in collateral on three defaulted loans. Although the Department had paid lenders $32.5 million on these defaulted loans, it had not notified the US Attorney General. Also, it had not prepared final liquidation plans as provided by regulations. As a result of these delays, the collective value of the collateral has decreased by about $2.7 million, and the Department has incurred over $690,000 in lease maintenance and administra… more

Radiation effects and annealing kinetics in crystalline silicates, phosphates and complex Nb-Ta-Ti oxides. FInal Report

Description: Interaction of heavy particles (alpha-recoil nuclei, fission fragments, implanted ions) with ceramics is complex because they have a wide range of structure types, complex compositions and chemical bonding is variable. Radiation damage can produce diverse results, but most commonly, crystalline periodic materials become either polycrystalline or aperiodic (metamict state). We studied the transition from crystalline to aperiodic state in natural materials that have been damaged by alpha recoil n… more

D-Zero Colling Loops

Description: This report provides the necessary sizing for the LN{sub 2} cooling coils in the D-Zero cryostats. Natural convection from finned tubes will be the means of cooling the cryostats and their contents until such time as liquid can be made by condensing. Each cryostat will contain three separate cooling runs. Two runs will be cooldown and the other steady state. These runs will be placed in each cryostat as shown in figure 3, 4a and 4b. By assuming a 100 K tube wall temperature, tube diameter (3/4-… more

Central Calorimeter Support Cradle Jack Failure Analysis

Description: The Central Calorimeter and its support cradle are to be supported by either hydraulic or mechanical jacks. If hydraulics are used, each support will use two hydraulically coupled jacks with two out of the four supports hydraulically coupled giving the effect of a three point support system. If mechanical jacks are used, all four points are used for support. Figure 2 shows two examples of jack placement on a 3.5 inch support plate. These two support scenarios lead to five jack failure cases to … more

PKL reactor tank bottom pressures in accident scenarios

Description: Nuclear Engineering Division requested estimates of the maximum PKL reactor tank pressures associated with postulated reactor accidents. Tank bottom pressures calculated in establishing confinement protection limits (CPL) in Mark 16B-31 and Mark 22 reactor charges are given in this document.
