Thomson scattering diagnostic analyses to determine the energetic particle distributions in TFTR

Description: The research completed and in progress for the first period of this grant is reviewed. Specific scattering scenarios for TFTR and JET and ITER were studied. The Lodestar scattering code, SKATR, was upgraded to include anisotropic energetic ion distributions and an analytic diffraction formulation was completed. Research continues on JET studies and upgrading the code for JET and ITER relevant conditions.

Interated Intelligent Industrial Process Sensing and Control: Applied to and Demonstrated on Cupola Furnaces

Description: The final goal of this project was the development of a system that is capable of controlling an industrial process effectively through the integration of information obtained through intelligent sensor fusion and intelligent control technologies. The industry of interest in this project was the metal casting industry as represented by cupola iron-melting furnaces. However, the developed technology is of generic type and hence applicable to several other industries. The system was divided into … more

Sputter deposited beryllium fuel capsules for NIF

Description: The objective of our effort is to systematically study the properties of films produced under different conditions, with an emphasis on improving surface morphology and microstructure while studying permeability and capsule strength. We have made extensive use of atomic force and electron microscopy to determine the microstructure of the films, along with composition probes (mainly x-ray fluorescence) to quantify the chemical structure. Our studies can be roughly divided into three categories. … more

STAINLESS STEEL WASTES. III. LABORATORY STUDIES OF THE RATE OF REMOVAL OF STAINLESS STEEL IONS BY MERCURY CATHODE ELECTROLYSIS

Description: ABS> The removal rates of iron, nickel, and chromium from synthetic stainless steel waste solutions during electrolysis over a mercury cathode were studied. The loading capacity of the mercury for the stainless steel metals was estimated on the basis of laboratory experiments to be about two% by weight. The laboratory data indicated that, at an electrode potential of --1.80 voits vs S.C.E., 85 ampere-hours per liter of waste removed essentially all of the stainless steel ions from a sulfuric ac… more

Microstructures and properties of materials under repeated laser irradiation

Description: This research program has explored the stability of alloys under pulsed laser irradiation. Two primary directions were investigated: (i) phase transitions during a single laser pulse, and (ii) phase stability under repeated laser irradiation. The first theme was primarily concerned with both the crystalline to amorphous phase transition and the transition of liquids and glasses to crystalline matter. The second project examined the phase evolution during laser pulsing in situations where plasti… more

Correction of Distributed Optical Aberrations

Description: The objective of this project was to demonstrate the use of multiple distributed deformable mirrors (DMs) to improve the performance of optical systems with distributed aberrations. This concept is expected to provide dramatic improvement in the optical performance of systems in applications where the aberrations are distributed along the optical path or within the instrument itself. Our approach used multiple actuated DMs distributed to match the aberration distribution. The project developed … more

Subsurface interactions of actinide species and microorganisms : implications for the bioremediation of actinide-organic mixtures.

Description: By reviewing how microorganisms interact with actinides in subsurface environments, we assess how bioremediation controls the fate of actinides. Actinides often are co-contaminants with strong organic chelators, chlorinated solvents, and fuel hydrocarbons. Bioremediation can immobilize the actinides, biodegrade the co-contaminants, or both. Actinides at the IV oxidation state are the least soluble, and microorganisms accelerate precipitation by altering the actinide's oxidation state or its spe… more

Airborne chemical baseline evaluation of the 222-S laboratory complex

Description: The 222-S Laboratory complex stores and uses over 400 chemicals. Many of these chemicals are used in laboratory analysis and some are used for maintenance activities. The majority of laboratory analysis chemicals are only used inside of fume hoods or glove boxes to control both chemical and radionuclide airborne concentrations. This evaluation was designed to determine the potential for laboratory analysis chemicals at the 222-S Laboratory complex to cause elevated airborne chemical concentrati… more

FY 1999 Saltcake Dissolution Workshop

Description: During the FY 1998 Saltcake Dissolution Workshop, participants identified nine tasks to be performed prior to the FY 1999 workshop. Discussions during the workshop indicated that significant progress was made in each area. The workshop focused on the strengths and weaknesses of the Environmental Simulation Program (ESP). In addition, the ESP predictions for the Tank SY-101 remediation and the ESP validation efforts were evaluated. Finally, the need for a broader user base was identified. At the… more

Stability characteristics at low speed of a variable-sweep airplane model having a partially cambered wing with several chord-extension configurations

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the effect of several chord-extension configurations at low speed on a variable-sweep airplane model with a partially cambered wing. Testing occurred at a designated Reynolds number based on the mean aerodynamic chord of the wing at 50 degrees sweep for average test conditions. Results regarding the effect of chord extensions at 50 degrees, 60 degrees, and 20 degrees sweep, effect of chord extensions on lateral stability, and a comparison with dif… more

Fast Transient Heating and Explosion of Metals Under Stagnant Liquids

Description: Thermnl transients with total pulse times of 3 to 28 milliseconds were simulated by direct-current electrical heating in studies of the explosions of Ag, Al, Cu, Sn, U, Zn, and Zr specimens under water and under oil at an ambient temperature of 75 d F and at atmospheric pressure. Motion pictures were taken of many of the explosions at film speeds of 7,500 to 14,500 frames/sec. A 600-foot composite reel was prepared which shows 7 representative explosions and views of the equipment. Data for 34 … more

Abortion and Family Planning-Related Provisions in U.S. Foreign Assistance Law and Policy

Description: This report details legislation and policies that restrict or place requirements on U.S. funding of abortion or family planning activities abroad. The level and extent of federal funding for these activities is an ongoing and controversial issue in U.S. foreign assistance and will likely continue to be a point of contention during the 113th Congress.

REDUCTION OF CUPRIC OXIDE BY HYDROGEN. II. CONVERSION OF HYDROGEN TO WATER OVER FIXED BEDS

Description: The conditions under which hydrogen could be quantitatively recovered from mixtures of gases by oxidation over fixed beds of CuO were investigated. The conversion of H/sub 2/ to H/sub 2/O by reduction of CuO in fixed beds increased with in- creasing bed length, temperature, hydrogen/argon ratio, and decreasing mesh size of CuO. Residence times required for 99% conversion in a 1- in.-diam. bed were 0.6 and 1.2 sec for 30% hydrogen-70% argon and 10% hydrogen90% argon mixtures, respectively, at a … more
