85Kr management trade-offs: a perspective to total radiation dose commitment

Description: Radiological consequences arising from the trade-offs for /sup 85/Kr waste management from possible nuclear fuel resource recovery activities have been investigated. The reference management technique is to release all the waste gas to the atmosphere where it is diluted and dispersed. A potential alternative is to collect, concentrate, package and submit the gas to long-term storage. This study compares the radiation dose commitment to the public and to the occupationally exposed work force fro… more

(Accumulation of Methyl-Deficient Rat Liver Messenger Ribonucleic Acid on Ethionine Administration). Progress Report. [Methyltransferase Activity in Ehrlich Ascites Tumor Cells and Effects of Phorbol Ester on Methyltransferase Activity]

Description: Enzyme fractions were isolated from Ehrlich ascites cells which introduced methyl groups into methyl deficient rat liver mRNA and unmethylated vaccinia mRNA. The methyl groups were incorporated at the 5'; end into cap 1 structures by the viral enzyme, whereas both cap 0 and cap 1 structures were formed by the Ehrlich ascites cell enzymes. Preliminary results indicate the presence of adenine N/sup 6/-methyltransferase activity in Ehrlich ascites cells. These results indicate that mRNA deficient … more

Actinide partitioning-transmutation program final report. VI. Short-term risk analysis of reprocessing, refabrication, and transportation: appendix

Description: The Chemical Technology Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory has prepared a set of documents that evaluate a Partitioning-Transmutation (PT) fuel cycle relative to a Reference cycle employing conventional fuel-material recovery methods. The PT cycle uses enhanced recovery methods so that most of the long-lived actinides are recycled to nuclear power plants and transmuted to shorter-lived materials, thereby reducing the waste toxicity. This report compares the two fuel cycles on the bas… more

Activated carbon adsorption from a high TOC wastewater

Description: The ability of activated carbon to reduce total organic carbon in highly concentrated wastewaters from a coal gasification pilot plant was evaluated in laboratory batch and column tests. The wastewater initially contains over 5000 mg/l TOC, largely phenols and cresols, with numerous other organic species in much lower concentrations. The physical adsorption process is best explained by the Freundlich model, with the slope and intercept of the Freundlich isotherm comparable to data reported for … more

Active feedback control for stabilization of vibration in rotating machinery (24. 034). Period covered: April 1-June 30, 1980

Description: Some of the considerations involved in the use of feedback control as a means of reducing the unbalanced response of a rotor or of eliminating or alleviating rotor dynamic instability are discussed. A simple model of a mass on a flexible shaft is used to illustrate the application of feedback control concepts. A description is given of a system assembled at the University of Virginia which uses feedback control individually adjustable in the vertical and horizontal directions to support the sha… more

Advanced amorphous materials for photovoltaic conversion. Annual report, October 1, 1978-September 30, 1979

Description: The objectives of this project are twofold: (1) to investigate new amorphous semiconductor (a-SC) materials, in which recombination centers are passivated, using plasma deposition techniques; and (2) to characterize the optoelectronic properties pertaining to both majority-carrier and minority-carrier transport in as-deposited films and in devices. The electronic properties of plasma-deposited a-Si:H alloys were studied as functions of oxygen and nitrogen impurities. Over a wide range of proces… more

Advanced electrode design for electrostatic precipitators

Description: The subject of this paper is a wavy electrode precipitator which employs a new collecting electrode. The wavy electrode precipitator incorporates a contoured collecting electrode geometry which produces a nearly uniform electric field along the electrode. This feature allows operation with higher average electric field strengths near the electrode than in conventional designs. The wavy electrode provides separated flow zones within its valleys, which fluid dynamically shield particles from the … more
