White paper report on using nuclear reactors to search for a value of theta13

Description: There has been superb progress in understanding the neutrino sector of elementary particle physics in the past few years. It is now widely recognized that the possibility exists for a rich program of measuring CP violation and matter effects in future accelerator {nu} experiments, which has led to intense efforts to consider new programs at neutrino superbeams, off-axis detectors, neutrino factories and beta beams. However, the possibility of measuring CP violation can be fulfilled only if the … more

Integrated Field, Laboratory, and Modeling Studies to Determine the Effects of Linked Microbial and Physical Spatial Heterogeneity on Engineered Vadose Zone Bioremediation

Description: While numerous techniques exist for remediation of contaminant plumes in groundwater or near the soil surface, remediation methods in the deep vadose zone are less established due to complex transport dynamics and sparse microbial populations. There is a lack of knowledge on how physical and hydrologic features of the vadose zone control microbial growth and colonization in response to nutrient delivery during bioremediation. Yet pollution in the vadose zone poses a serious threat to the ground… more

Hydrogen Production in Radioactive Solutions in the Defense Waste Processing Facility

Description: In the radioactive slurries and solutions to be processed in the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF), hydrogen will be produced continuously by radiolysis. This production results from alpha, beta, and gamma rays from decay of radionuclides in the slurries and solutions interacting with the water. More than 1000 research reports have published data concerning this radiolytic production. The results of these studies have been reviewed in a comprehensive monograph. Information about radiolyt… more

Hydrogen Generation by Radiolysis of Tetraphenylborate Solutions and Slurries

Description: This report is a summary of experimental results on radiolytic hydrogen yields from tetraphenylborate (TPB) slurries related to the In-Tank Precipitation (ITP) process. The yields are presented as ''G values'' in units of molecules per 100 eV of absorbed energy. If the radiolytic dose rate is known, the combination of the G value and dose rate gives the rate of hydrogen production. The results of this study are discussed in detail.

Development of Design Criteria for Fluid Induced Structural Vibration in Steam Generators and Heat Exchangers

Description: OAK-B135 Flow-induced vibration in heat exchangers has been a major cause of concern in the nuclear industry for several decades. Many incidents of failure of heat exchangers due to apparent flow-induced vibration have been reported through the USNRC incident reporting system. Almost all heat exchangers have to deal with this problem during their operation. The phenomenon has been studied since the 1970s and the database of experimental studies on flow-induced vibration is constantly updated wi… more
