Alternating Current and Square-Wave Polarography

Description: A exploratory study was made of a polarographic technique in which an alternating sine or square-wave potential is superimposed upon the applied d.c. potential of the polarographic scan. Recording of the a.c. component of the polarographic current results in derivative-type waves. It was shown that the technique yields greater sensitivity and greater selectivity than normal polarographic technique.

Properties of Uranyl Fluoride

Description: Abstract: Pure UO2F2 is made by reaction between anhydrous HF and pure UO3. Although it is difficult to prepare free of water, it is not very hygroscopic. Prolonged heating at 100-105 degrees releases 99.9% of the water in an aqueous solution; the rate of loss of water is very small after saturation is reached. X-ray diffraction data give a density of 6.2 for the solid. The density of a 1.004 M solution is 1.274; the density of a saturated solution (5.130 M) is 2.400. The densities of F-9 s… more

Large Diffractive Optics for GEo-Based Earth Surveillance

Description: The natural vantage point for performing Earth-centric operations from space is geosynchronous orbit (GEO); a platform there moves at the same rate as the Earth's surface, so appears to continually ''hover'' over a fixed site on the Earth. Unlike spacecraft in other orbits, which rapidly fly-over targets, a GEO-based platform remains in-position all the time. In order to insure continual access to sites using low earth orbit (LEO) platforms, one needs a large enough constellation ({approx} 50) … more

Composite Species in the Hydrodynamic Theory of Atomic Mixing in Multicomponent Partially Ionized Gases

Description: A dynamical description of atomic mixing in multicomponent gases and plasmas was summarized in a previous report (UCRL-ID-145502). That description is based on the use of separate continuity and momentum equations for each species present, including neutral atoms, ions, and free electrons. This level of detail is not always feasible in practical problems, where subsets of species (e.g., neutral atoms of a particular element together with their ionization products) must be grouped or lumped toge… more

Grid and Zone Selection for AMR and ALE Schemes

Description: Numerical algorithms are based fundamentally on polynomial interpolation. In regions of the computational domain where a low order polynomial fits the data well one will find small errors in the computed quantities. Therefore, in order to design robust methods for grid selection for AMR schemes or zone selection for ALE schemes, one needs some information on the local polynomial structure of the fields being computed. We provide here algorithms and software for selecting zones based on local es… more

Outline of proram for testing air-supplied face masks used in P-10 atmospheres

Description: This report consists of an outline for a program for testing the air-supplied face masks currently being used as protection against P-10 atmospheres at HAPO. The test procedures which follow are intended to determine circumstances under which the mask ceases to offer protection to the wearer. To keep the scope of the test program to a minimum and also to facilitate interpretation of the findings in the light of P-10 atmospheres, the test conditions chosen were those which would be most unfavora… more

Analysis of HFIR pressurizer pump overspeed transients and relief valve performance

Description: The pressurizer pump overspeed transients at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) fall in the category of {open_quotes}increase in coolant inventory transients.{close_quotes} They are among the accident transients to be performed for Chapter 15 of the HFIR safety analysis report (SAR). The pressurizer pump speed starting to increase inadvertently to reach its maximum speed of 3,560 rpm while the reactor operates under normal conditions is the cause of this transient. Increased primary coolant s… more

Power calculation accuracy with dual downcomer operation

Description: The C reactor is presently, operating with all process water discharging through one downcomer. Pressure measurements at the downcomer lid show the top tray is nearly flooded, thus prohibiting further flow increases until the downcomer is modified or both downcomers are used simultaneously. Operation with two downcomers can result in two sources of error in the power calculation: (1) Errors in measured outlet temperature can occur, apparently due to the increased venting capacity. The magnitude… more

Flux distributions with typical rod and loading patterns

Description: Side-to-side flux distributions calculated for ``rods out`` operation are compared to the normal equilibrium distributions. The results are highly sensitive to enrichment and flattening unbalance. Near side tube power limits are reached at total pile powers as low as 39%, and as high as 85% of the normal equilibrium. power. Calculations indicate that, with the current loading patterns, B, D, DR, F, H, and KW, theoretically could make rods out scram recoveries without exceeding tube power limits… more
