1983 ORNL intercomparison of personnel neutron and gamma dosemeters

Description: The Ninth Personnel Dosimetry Intercomparison Study was conducted during April 19-21, 1983, at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Dosemeters from 33 participating agencies were mounted on water-filled polyethylene elliptical phantoms and exposed to a range of low-level dose equivalents (0.02-0.45 mSv gamma and 0.49-11.14 mSv neutron) which could be encountered during routine personnel monitoring in mixed radiation fields. The Health Physics Research Reactor served as the radiation source for si… more

Accelerator breeder nuclear fuel production: concept evaluation of a modified design for ORNL's proposed TME-ENFP

Description: Recent advances in accelerator beam technology have made it possible to improve the target/blanket design of the Ternary Metal Fueled Electronuclear Fuel Producer (TMF-ENFP), an accelerator-breeder design concept proposed by Burnss et al. for subcritical breeding of the fissile isotope /sup 233/U. In the original TMF-ENFP the 300-mA, 1100-MeV proton beam was limited to a small diameter whose power density was so high that a solid metal target could not be used for producing the spallation neutr… more

Acceptability testing of radioluminescent lights for VFR-night air taxi operations

Description: Tritium-powered radioluminescent (RL) lights have been under development for remote, austere, and tactical airfield lighting applications. The State of Alaska has requested FAA approval for use of the technology as a safe alternative lighting system to meet the airfield lighting needs of air taxi operations and general aviation in the state. The tests described in this report were performed by PNL for the DOE Defense Byproducts Production and Utilization Program. These tests are a step toward g… more

Actinide production from xenon bombardments of curium-248

Description: Production cross sections for many actinide nuclides formed in the reaction of /sup 129/Xe and /sup 132/Xe with /sup 248/Cm at bombarding energies slightly above the coulomb barrier were determined using radiochemical techniques to isolate these products. These results are compared with cross sections from a /sup 136/Xe + /sup 248/Cm reaction at a similar energy. When compared to the reaction with /sup 136/Xe, the maxima in the production cross section distributions from the more neutron defici… more

Analysis of flow data from the T-F and S/DOE Gladys McCall No. 1 well. Final report

Description: The flow and bottomhole pressure data have been analyzed for the two sands (Nos. 8 and 9) tested by the Gladys McCall No. 1 Well. The more productive sand (No. 8) appears to be bounded by two linear faults at distances of approx.740 ft and approx.1360 ft from the well and there appears to be a decrease in the formation transmissivity away from the well. The formation properties inferred from the well test analysis have been used with a reservoir simulator to match the bottomhole drawdown/buildu… more

Annotated bibliography of coal in the Caribbean region. [Lignite]

Description: The purpose of preparing this annotated bibliography was to compile information on coal localities for the Caribbean region used for preparation of a coal map of the region. Also, it serves as a brief reference list of publications for future coal studies in the Caribbean region. It is in no way an exhaustive study or complete listing of coal literature for the Caribbean. All the material was gathered from published literature with the exception of information from Cuba which was supplied from … more

Antinucleon-nucleus elastic and inelastic scattering

Description: A general overview of the utility of antinucleon (anti N)-nucleus inelastic scattering studies is presented, emphasizing both the sensitivity of the cross sections to various components of the N anti N transition amplitudes and the prospects for the exploration of some novel aspects of nuclear structure. We start with an examination of the relation between NN and N anti N potentials, focusing on the coherences predicted for the central, spin-orbit and tensor components, and how these may be rev… more

Aromatic hydrocarbons associated with brines from geopressured wells. Annual report, fiscal 1985

Description: Samples of cryocondensates - materials condensed at - 78.5/sup 0/C were taken on a regular basis from the gas stream for the USDOE geopressured wells. Most of the data has been taken from the Gladys McCall well as it has flowed on a regular and almost continous basis. The cryocondensates, not the ''condensate'' from gas wells, are almost exclusively aromatic hydrocarbons, primarily benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and the xylenes, but contain over 95 compounds, characterized using gas chromatogr… more

Assessment of computational performance in nuclear criticality

Description: This report presents the results of a study undertaken to resolve the long-standing discrepanies between calculations and experiments involving arrays of fissile solution units. Room return was found to be sufficient to account for the discrepancy of some bare arrays, but reflected arrays are still in disagreement, and the magnitude of the room return raises other unresolved issues.
