Cost estimate report for the long-term management of depleted uranium hexafluoride : storage of depleted uranium metal.

Description: This report contains a cost analysis of the long-term storage of depleted uranium in the form of uranium metal. Three options are considered for storage of the depleted uranium. These options are aboveground buildings, partly underground vaults, and mined cavities. Three cases are presented. In the first case, all the depleted uranium metal that would be produced from the conversion of depleted uranium hexafluoride (UF{sub 6}) generated by the US Department of Energy (DOE) prior to July 1993 wo… more

Crime Control: The Federal Response

Description: Under the federal system in the United States, the states and localities traditionally have held the major responsibility for prevention and control of crime and maintenance of order. For most of the Republic’s history, “police powers” in the broad sense were reserved to the states under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution. Many still hold that view, but others see a string of court decisions in recent decades as providing the basis for a far more active federal role. Several bills are disc… more

Engineering analysis report for the long-term management of depleted uranium hexafluoride : storage of depleted uranium metal.

Description: This report contains an engineering analysis of long-term storage of uranium metal in boxes as an option for long-term management of depleted uranium hexafluoride (UF{sub 6}). Three storage facilities are considered: buildings, vaults, and mined cavities. Three cases are considered: either all, half, or a quarter of the depleted uranium metal that would be produced from the conversion of depleted UF{sub 6} is stored at the facility. The analysis of these alternatives is based on a box design us… more

Numerical simulations of magnetic reversal in layered spring magnets.

Description: This report summarizes the results of numerical investigations of magnetic reversal in layered spring magnets. A one-dimensional model is used of a film consisting of several atomic layers of soft material on top of several atomic layers of hard material. Each atomic layer is taken to be uniformly magnetized, and spatial inhomogeneities within an atomic layer are neglected. The state of such a system is described by a chain of magnetic spin vectors. Each spin vector behaves like a spinning top … more

Regulatory DQO Test Plan for Determining Method Detection Limits, Estimated Quantitation Limits, and Quality Assurance Criteria for Specified Analytes

Description: The Regulatory Data Quality Objectives (DQO) Supporting Tank Waste Remediation System Privatization Project (Wiemers et al. 1998a) was prepared to address the regulatory data needs for waste currently stored in double-shell and single-shell tanks that was generated by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and its predecessors. In the Regulatory DQO, 125 organic compounds and 48 inorganic constituents were identified as priority regulated constituents requiring additional tank waste characterizati… more
