Hazard analysis of Miamisburg Park Improvement Project

Description: The City of Miamisburg plans to modify two existing small ponds just west of Mound Laboratory in the Community Park. The north pond will be deepened and made into a solar energy pond to heat a bath house and swimming pool, and the south pond will be deepened and made into a fishing pond. Because the sediment in both ponds contains small amounts of plutonium and will be moved during the modifications, this work has been reviewed for potential health and safety impacts. This analysis covered the … more

Geothermal Loan Guaranty Program

Description: Presently the US imports a large proportion of its petroleum requirements. This dependence on foreign petroleum has had a major impact on our economy. As a result, the Federal government is sponsoring programs to offset this foreign reliance by conservation of oil and gas, conversion of petroleum using facilities to coal and nuclear energy and the development of alternate sources of energy. One of the most acceptable alternate resources is geothermal. It offers an environmentally sound energy r… more

Program manual for the Data Director editor

Description: The Data Director editor is a powerful, multiuser editor that will aid in the development and modification of APT part programs, assembly-language programs, and other text. Some benefits of the editor are as follows: most of the editor is reentrant, allowing several users to share it; the user can use the editor as though the entire file being edited is in memory; editing takes place on a working file so that changes are not made to the original file until desired; the editor offers a powerful … more

GROW1: a crop growth model for assessing impacts of gaseous pollutants from geothermal technologies

Description: A preliminary model of photosynthesis and growth of field crops was developed to assess the effects of gaseous pollutants, particularly airborne sulfur compounds, resulting from energy production from geothermal resources. The model simulates photosynthesis as a function of such variables as irradiance, CO/sub 2/ diffusion resistances, and internal biochemical processes. The model allocates the products of photosynthesis to structural (leaf, stem, root, and fruit) and storage compartments of th… more

Civilian applications of laser fusion

Description: The commercial aspects of laser fusion were evaluated in an attempt to relate the end products (neutrons and energy) to significant commercial applications. It was found that by far the largest markets and highest payoffs for laser fusion are associated with electric power production. Hence, much of this report evaluates the prospects of producing commercial electricity with laser fusion. To this end, we have described in detail a new and promising laser fusion concept--the liquid lithium water… more

Fabrication of a large plutonium sphere for use in LLL pulsed-sphere experiments. [Pu--1. 0% Ga alloy]

Description: Two plutonium-alloy hemispheres were cast, machined, and canned for use in pulsed-sphere experiments. LLL physicists will use the data from these experiments to improve physics codes. The total mass of Pu--1.0 wt percent Ga was 9.3 kg. The hemispherical shapes had a radius of 53.7 mm. Both hemispheres were cast with hollow polar cones. In one casting the cone was plugged; in the other casting the cone was left to allow fitting to the neutron generator. The hemispheres were electron beam welded … more
