Computer-controlled sampling system for airborne particulates

Description: A self-contained, mobile, computer-controlled air-sampling system has been designed and fabricated that also collects and records the data from eight meteorological sensors. The air-samplers are activated automatically when the collected meteorological data meet the criteria specified at the beginning of the data-collection run. The filters from the samplers are intended to collect airborne $sup 239$Pu for later radionuclide analysis and correlation with the meteorological data for the study of… more

Noise from cooling towers of power parks

Description: A study is presented of the noise pollution problem for large power parks proposed for the future. Such parks might have an area of about 75 sq. miles, and a generating capacity up to 48000 MW. A comparative analysis has been done for natural and mechanical-draft wet towers as the major sources of acoustic power. Noise radiation from single isolated towers as well as from a dispersed array of towers has been considered for both types of cooling systems. Major noise attenuation effects considere… more

Optical timing receiver for the NASA laser ranging system. Part I. Constant-fraction discriminator

Description: Position-resolution capabilities of the NASA laser ranging system are essentially determined by time-resolution capabilities of its optical timing receiver. The optical timing receiver consists of a fast photoelectric device, primarily a standard of microchannel-plate-type photomultiplier or an avalanche photodiode detector, a timing discriminator, a high-precision time-interval digitizer, and a signal-processing system. The time-resolution capabilities of the receiver are determined by the pho… more

Vacuum system for the Livermore intense neutron source

Description: To fulfill the need for intense 14-MeV neutron sources for controlled thermonuclear reactor material damage studies, several accelerators will be built at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. A high-capacity vacuum system will be required to handle the large deuterium gas load needed to produce the beam current. Outgassing of tritium from the target necessitates special handling of the exhaust from the vacuum pumps. A vacuum system utilizing turbomolecular pumps was selected after comparing its p… more

A Sampling Plan for Use with Dynamic Calibration

Description: Dynamic calibration is a measurement control technique designed to facilitate the use of nondestructive assay for the control and accounting of special nuclear material. The implementation of dynamic calibration requires selection of an appropriate control measurement and sampling plan to provide traceability for the measurement system. A general sampling plan for use when the control measurement is an independent assay is presented with examples.
