Assessment of the feasibility of developing a Hanford Site weld modeling program

Description: Welding on the Hanford Site is an everyday occurrence, and most of the weldments made on site are relatively straightforward. Groove geometries, fillers, and wleding techniques and parameters are normally decided by experience or handbook advice. However, there are other weldments that might employ new materials, as well as one-of-a-kind welding situations. Implementation of a verified analytical weld assessment method would allow optimization of weld metal and heat-affected zone microstructure… more

ANDROS: A code for Assessment of Nuclide Doses and Risks with Option Selection

Description: ANDROS (Assessment of Nuclide Doses and Risks with Option Selection) is a computer code written to compute doses and health effects from atmospheric releases of radionuclides. ANDROS has been designed as an integral part of the CRRIS (Computerized Radiological Risk Investigation System). ANDROS reads air concentrations and environmental concentrations of radionuclides to produce tables of specified doses and health effects to selected organs via selected pathways (e.g., ingestion or air immersi… more

Solvent extraction studies of coprocessing flowsheets: Results from Campaign 6 of the Solvent Extraction Test Facility (SETF)

Description: A series of five solvent extraction tests were made in the Solvent Extraction Test Facility (SETF) during Campaign 6. Each test used a coprocessing flowsheet that included coextraction-coscrubbing of the heavy metals followed by partial partitioning of the uranium and plutonium into separate uranium and uranium-plutonium products. The separation of the uranium and plutonium was aided by the addition of HNO{sub 2} to the organic backscrub stream. Two of these tests compared the performance of th… more

Innovative approaches to inertial confinement fusion reactors: Final report

Description: Three areas of innovative approaches to inertial confinement fusion (ICF) reactor design are given. First, issues pertaining to the Cascade reactor concept are discussed. Then, several innovative concepts are presented which attempt to directly recover the blast energy from a fusion target. Finally, the Turbostar concept for direct recovery of that energy is evaluated. The Cascade issues discussed are combustion of the carbon granules in the event of air ingress, the use of alternate granule ma… more

Scrape-off profiles and effects of limiter pumping in Tore Supra

Description: A one dimensional plasma scrape-off model was used to simulate Tore Supra discharges which are limited by various combinations of the pumped and inner limiters. Scrape-off profiles of the electron density and temperature, ion temperature, and neutral density are given. For each case, various fractions of the ion flux to the neutralizers were assumed to be pumped. Modifications of the scrap-off profiles caused by pumping are predicted. Pumping efficiencies are calculated including the effects of… more

Yakima River Spring Chinook Enhancement Study, 1986 Annual Report.

Description: A total of eight spring chinook redds were successfully capped in 1986. The mean survival to emergence was 56.7% and ranged from 21.9 to 90.0%. The spring outmigration at Wapatox was estimated to be 6671 smolts. The 1986 outmigration of wild spring chinook from the Yakima Basin was estimated to be 169,076 smolts at Prosser. The survival from egg to smolt was 4.6%, which gives a mean egg to smolt survival over four years of 5.1%. In 1986 a total of 8557 adult and 349 jack spring chinook salmon r… more

Energy transfer processes in solar energy conversion

Description: By combining picosecond optical experiments and detailed statistical mechanics theory we continue to increase our understanding of the complex interplay of structure and dynamics in important energy transfer situations. A number of different types of problems will be focused on experimentally and theoretically. They are excitation transport among chromophores attached to finite size polymer coils; excitation transport among chromophores in monolayers, bilayers, and finite and infinite stacks of… more

Photoionization of atoms and small molecules using synchrotron radiation. [SF/sub 6/, SiF/sub 4/]

Description: The combination of synchrotron radiation and time-of-flight electron spectroscopy has been used to study the photoionization dynamics of atoms (Li) and small molecules (SF/sub 6/, SiF/sub 4/, and SO/sub 2/). Partial cross sections and angular distribution asymmetry parameters have been measured for Auger electrons and photoelectrons as functions of photon energy. Emphasis is on the basic understanding of electron correlation and resonant effects as manifested in the photoemission spectra for th… more

Geothermal enhancement of mineral processing in Nevada: Final report, April 25, 1985-June 30, 1986

Description: This report reviews mineral recovery techniques practiced at active mines throughout Nevada and determines those that may be enhanced by the application of geothermal heat energy from a nearby resource. Of the thirty-two active precious metal mines identified, ten have hot water on or near the property and could potentially benefit. A second purpose was to collect ore samples and geothermal fluids, determine if they are compatible in the hydrometallurgical process, and carry out laboratory test… more

General purpose heat source (GPHS) clad vent set (CVS) formability study

Description: Primarily, Mound was to evaluate both improved-iridium and standard-flight iridium blanks with respect to current GPHS-CVS manufacturing processes and provide example-weld-quality CVS to the Savannah River Plant (SRP) for its weldability study. Additionally, Mound's practice of performing a final outgassing (1500/sup 0/C for 1 hr) of CVS was evaluated with respect to metallurgical properties of iridium cups and electron-beam (EB) welding characteristics of CVS subassembly components.

A low background-rate detector for ions in the 5 to 50 keV energy range to be used for radioisotope dating with a small cyclotron

Description: Accelerator mass spectrometry in tandem Van de Graaff accelerators has proven successful for radioisotope dating small samples. We are developing a 20 cm diameter 30 to 40 keV cyclotron dedicated to high-sensitivity radioisotope dating, initially for /sup 14/C. At this energy, range and dE/dx methods of particle identification are impossible. Thus arises the difficult problem of reliably detecting 30 to 40 keV /sup 14/C at 10/sup -2/ counts/sec in the high background environment of the cyclotro… more
