Final Report - Partial Support of the Survey of Gradudate Students and Posdoctorates in Science and Engineering

Description: Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) are organizations that perform research and development and are exclusively or substantially financed by the federal government and are supported by the federal government either to meet a particular R&D objective or, in some instances, to provide major facilities at universities for research and associated training purposes. Many FFRDCs employ postdoctoral researchers (postdocs). The 2009 FFRDC survey collected the total number of post… more

GammaModeler TM 3-D gamma-ray imaging technology

Description: The 3-D GammaModeler{trademark} system was used to survey a portion of the facility and provide 3-D visual and radiation representation of contaminated equipment located within the facility. The 3-D GammaModeler{trademark} system software was used to deconvolve extended sources into a series of point sources, locate the positions of these sources in space and calculate the 30 cm. dose rates for each of these sources. Localization of the sources in three dimensions provides information on source… more

High Resolution Imaging of Vadose Zone Transport using Crosswell Radar and Seismic Methods

Description: Although borehole and outcrops provide some sampling there is a critical need to provide volumetric information between point measurements. For example, there is a need for information on heterogeneities at scales ranging from the centimeter to 10?s of meters, as these features can alter contaminant transport significantly. At Hanford, heterogeneities of interest can range from localized phenomena such as silt or gravel lenses, fractures, clastic dikes, to large-scale lithologic discontinuities… more

Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory Site Report on the Production and Use of Recycled Uranium

Description: Recent allegations regarding radiation exposure to radionuclides present in recycled uranium sent to the gaseous diffusion plants prompted the Department of Energy to undertake a system-wide study of recycled uranium. Of particular interest, were the flowpaths from site to site operations and facilities in which exposure to plutonium, neptunium and technetium could occur, and to the workers that could receive a significant radiation dose from handling recycled uranium. The Idaho National Engine… more

Improvement in the Plutonium Parameter Files of the FRAM Isotopic Analysis Code

Description: The isotopic analysis code Fixed-energy Response-function Analysis with Multiple efficiency (FRAM) employs user-editable parameter sets to analyze a broad range of sample types. This report presents new parameter files, based upon a new set of plutonium branding ratios, which give more accurate isotope results than the current parameter files that use FRAM.

Independent Verification Survey of the Clean Coral Storage Pile at the Johnston Atoll Plutonium Contaminated Soil Remediation Project

Description: f I The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Environmental Technology Section conducted an independent verification (IV) survey of the clean storage pile at the Johnston Atoll Plutonium Contaminated Soil Remediation Project (JAPCSRP) from January 18-25, 1999. The goal of the JAPCSRP is to restore a 24-acre area that was contaminated with plutonium oxide particles during nuclear testing in the 1960s. The selected remedy was a soil sorting operation that combined radiological measurements and min… more

MATERIALS WITH COMPLEX ELECTRONIC/ATOMIC STRUCTURES

Description: We explored both experimentally and theoretically the behavior of materials at stresses close to their theoretical strength. This involves the preparation of ultra fine scale structures by a variety of fabrication methods. In the past year work has concentrated on wire drawing of in situ composites such as Cu-Ag and Cu-Nb. Materials were also fabricated by melting alloys in glass and drawing them into filaments at high temperatures by a method known as Taylor wire technique. Cu-Ag microwires ha… more
