Capital requirements for the transportation of energy materials: 1979 ARC estimates. Draft final report

Description: This report contains TERA's estimates of capital requirements to transport natural gas, crude oil, petroleum products, and coal in the United States by 1990. The low, medium, and high world-oil-price scenarios from the EIA's Mid-range Energy Forecasting System (MEFS), as used in the 1979 Annual Report to Congress (ARC), were provided as a basis for the analysis and represent three alternative futures. TERA's approach varies by energy commodity to make best use of the information and analytical … more

Annular air space effects on nuclear waste canister temperatures in a deep geologic waste repository

Description: Air spaces in a deep geologic repository for nuclear high level waste will have an important effect on the long-term performance of the waste package. The important temperature effects of an annular air gap surrounding a high level waste canister are determined through 3-D numerical modeling. Air gap properties and parameters specifically analyzed and presented are the air gap size, surfaces emissivity, presence of a sleeve, and initial thermal power generation rate; particular emphasis was pla… more

Thermal properties measurements on rocksalt samples from the site of the proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant

Description: Thermal conductivity, thermal expansion, and specific heat measurements have been made on a number of specimens. The specific heat measurements were made by differential scanning calorimetry and the results showed that the specific heats of both clean rocksalt samples and of dirty samples with less than or equal to 7% insoluble impurities were essentially identical to the published specific heat for pure NaCl. In the thermal expansion measurements, two distinct groups of samples were identified… more

Multiple-comparison computer program using the bonferroni t statistic

Description: To ascertain the agreement among laboratories, samples from a single batch of material are analyzed by the different laboratories and results are then compared. A graphical format was designed for presenting the results and for showing which laboratories have significantly different results. The appropriate statistic for simultaneously testing the significance of the differences between several means is Bonferroni t. A computer program was written to make the tests between means based on Bonfer… more

REM meter for pulsed sources of neutrons

Description: A rem meter was constructed specifically for measuring neutrons produced by fusion experiments for which the source pulses last 10 ms or longer. The detector is a /sup 6/Li glass scintillator, 25.4 mm in diameter and 3.2 mm thick, surrounded by 11.5 cm of polyethylene. This detector has a sensitivity of 8.5 x 10/sup 4/ counts/mrem. The signals from this fast scintillator are shaped using a shorted delay line to produce pulses that are only 10 ns long so that dose equivalent rates up to 12 mrem/… more

Catalysts for upgrading coal-derived liquids. Quarterly report, October 1-December 31, 1979

Description: The design and partial construction of a new trickle-flow, packed bed reactor system was achieved. This reactor will be used to conduct investigations of throwaway type catalysts and zoned or mixed catalyst beds. It will also be used to support studies of catalyst activity decay. Most of these decay studies will be conducted in the Catalyst Life Test Unit (CLTU). The CLTU has been improved by redesign of the H/sub 2/ flow system and several minor changes. A new H/sub 2/ supply system has been d… more
