Aerogel commercialization pilot project. Final program report

Description: Aerogels are extremely light weight, high surface area, very insulative materials that offer many potential improvements to commercial products. Aerogels have been the subject of extensive research at Department of Energy Laboratories and have been considered one of the technology most ready for commercialization. However, commercialization of the technology had been difficult for the National Laboratories since end users were not interested in the high temperature and high pressure chemical pr… more

Audit of Department of Energy`s contractor liability insurance costs

Description: Fifty-four of DOE`s major contractors reported expending $44.3 million in liability insurance costs for the last 3 years of operation. Purpose of this audit was to evaluate how DOE implemented its policy to assume the risk of losses for its contractors rather than to insure them commercially. Contractors are required to use self-insurance if combined annual premiums for commercial insurance exceed $10,000. Review of 18 major contractors showed that DOE was not consistently following its policy … more

A Brief Introduction to the Federal Budget Process

Description: This report provides a brief introduction to the federal budget process. Key budget concepts and terminology are defined and explained. The separate procedures that make up the federal budget process are identified and their salient features described. While a complete understanding of federal budgeting probably can be obtained only after much observation and study of the process in operation, broad exposure to its rudiments is a useful first step. Various resources "for additional reading" are… more

Compact tokamak reactors. Part 1 (analytic results)

Description: We discuss the possible use of tokamaks for thermonuclear power plants, in particular tokamaks with low aspect ratio and copper toroidal field coils. Three approaches are presented. First we review and summarize the existing literature. Second, using simple analytic estimates, the size of the smallest tokamak to produce an ignited plasma is derived. This steady state energy balance analysis is then extended to determine the smallest tokamak power plant, by including the power required to drive … more

Correlated Forward-Backward Coulomb Dissociation and Luminosity Monitoring at Heavy Ion Colliders

Description: We present an expression for the rate of correlated Coulomb dissociation of both colliding nuclei at a heavy-ion collider. For the case of Au + Au at RHIC, the cross section for mutual correlated dissociation is about 3 barns. This process should be cleanly measured with very forward (zero degree) calorimeters proposed for RHIC. We also discuss prospects for luminosity monitoring using this process.

Effects of periodic manual stirring and uranium addition on surrogate plutonium glass processing

Description: Using thorium as a plutonium surrogate, homogeneous glasses have been processed ranging from 15 to 20 elemental weight percent thorium with 0 to 5 elemental weight percent uranium. Homogeneous glasses have been processed at 1,475 C with residence times ranging from 1 to 12 hours. High ramp rates successfully inhibited thorium silicate formation. Residence times of 5 to 7 hours were required for static melts to become homogeneous for glasses containing 15 elemental weight percent thorium. Thoriu… more
