Low temperature, sulfur tolerant homogeneous catalysts for the water-gas shift reaction

Description: The purpose of this report is to update and reorganize our recent review on homogeneous catalysis of the water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) based on recent literature publications and patents. This updated version will serve as a means of selecting 10 candidate catalyst systems for use in developing effective, sulfur-tolerant, low temperature WGSR catalysts. This report discusses the variations possible in the basic chemistry associated with WGSR catalytic cycles, including basic, acidic, and neut… more

Advective-diffusive/dispersive transport of chemically reacting species in hydrothermal systems. Final report, FY83-85

Description: A general formulation of multi-phase fluid flow coupled to chemical reactions was developed based on a continuum description of porous media. A preliminary version of the computer code MCCTM was constructed which implemented the general equations for a single phase fluid. The computer code MCCTM incorporates mass transport by advection-diffusion/dispersion in a one-dimensional porous medium coupled to reversible and irreversible, homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions. These reactions… more

Fusion breeder blanket nucleonics

Description: Refined nuclear analysis, including the treatment of resonance and spatial self-shielding, coupled with an optimization procedure, has resulted in improved performance estimates for two conceptual fission-suppressed blankets. Net specific breeding in these two blankets maximized at 0.024 and 0.023 U-233 atoms/MeV, which is about an order of magnitude higher than in fission breeders.

Perturbations to the horizontal off-energy functions in the arcs

Description: The perturbation of off-energy functions in the arcs affects the SLC performance in two ways. First of all, it introduces additional emittance blow-up in the arcs through synchrotron radiation loss. Secondly, if the perturbation is too large, the chromatic correction in the final focus cannot completely suppress the eta at IP resulting in a larger beam size. Both effects reduce the luminosity. In this report an analysis is made of the disturbances to the horizontal eta-function generated by imp… more

ATA operations

Description: Four accelerator parameters were found to control the condition of the electron beam entering the Intergrated Fast Reactor (IFR). These parameters were the matching of the electron beam to the ion channel, the laser timing, the benzene pressure at the entrance to the IFR, and the timing of the accelerator gaps. Manipulation of these parameters make possible the control of the total current, the emittance, the pulse length, the mixture of laser induced current and cathode current, the radial gro… more

Cascade ICF power reactor

Description: The double-cone-shaped Cascade reaction chamber rotates at 50 rpm to keep a blanket of ceramic granules in place against the wall as they slide from the poles to the exit slots at the equator. The 1 m-thick blanket consists of layers of carbon, beryllium oxide, and lithium aluminate granules about 1 mm in diameter. The x rays and debris are stopped in the carbon granules; the neutrons are multiplied and moderated in the BeO and breed tritium in the LiAlO/sub 2/. The chamber wall is made up of S… more

Scalar potential for charge distributions with ellipsoidal symmetry

Description: Calculation of the electrostatic scalar potential in ellipsoidal coordinates is outlined. The ellipsoidal coordinate system is described, and the Laplace equation is discussed for this system. Special charge distributions having ellipsoidal symmetry, and therefore most easily treated in ellipsoidal coordinates, are assumed and their scalar potentials calculated, including the ellipsoidal shell, two-dimensional and three-dimensional Gaussian charge distribution, and two-dimensional uniform distr… more

Economic studies for heavy-ion-fusion electric power plants

Description: We have conducted parametric economic studies for heavy-ion-fusion electric power plants. We examined the effects on the cost of electricity of several design parameters: cost and cost scaling for the reactor, driver, and target factory; maximum achievable chamber pulse rate; target gain; electric conversion efficiency; and net electric power. Using the most recent estimates for the heavy-ion-driver cost along with the Cascade reactor cost and efficiency, we found that a 1.5 to 3 GWe heavy-ion-… more

Heber geothermal coupon analytical report: (Final technical report)

Description: The objectives of this paper are: to determine the cause of accelerated metal loss from the loading edges (as relates to brine flow) of carbon steel coupons in the low temperature portion of the Heber brine loop; and to clarify the reason for the distinctly different morphology of attack on the A53B pipe steel compared to the sheet 1018 steel. 6 figs.

Suppressed-fission ICF hybrid reactor

Description: A suppressed-fission ICF hybrid reactor has been designed to maximize the production of /sup 233/U. In this design, Be is used as a neutron multiplier. An annular array of Be columns surrounds the fusion pulse inside the reaction chember. The Be columns consist of short cylinders of Be joined together with steel snap rings. Vertical holes in the Be carry liquid lithium coolant and steel-clad thorium fuel pins. The lithium coolant is supplied at the top of the chamber, traverses through the Be c… more

Progress in the ICF Program at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Description: Experiments using the harmonically converted Nd:glass lasers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (Novette with 2 to 10 kJ at 0.26 and 0.53 micron and Nova with 30 to 80 kJ at 0.35 and 0.53 micron) have demonstrated favorable coupling of laser light to fusion targets. The coupling of short-wavelength laser light to these plasmas is now well understood and is primarily collisional in nature, in contrast to previous experiments at 1.06 microns and 10 microns, where the coupling was colle… more

Fusion-fission hybrid studies in the United States

Description: Systems and conceptual design studies have been carried out on the following three hybrid types: (1) The fission-suppressed hybrid, which maximizes fissile material produced (Pu or /sup 233/U) per unit of total nuclear power by suppressing the fission process and multiplying neutrons by (n,2n) reactions in materials like beryllium. (2) The fast-fission hybrid, which maximizes fissile material produced per unit of fusion power by maximizing fission of /sup 238/U (Pu is produced) in which twice t… more

Platinum particles in the Nd:doped disks of phosphate glass in the Nova laser

Description: The disks of Nd:doped phosphate glass in the amplifiers of the Nova laser contain platinum particles with sizes ranging from <5 ..mu..m (detection limit) to about 100 ..mu..m. The particle density varies from about 0.01 to 1.0 cm/sup -3/. These particles cause fractures when irradiated at fluences >2.5 J/cm/sup 2/ delivered in 1-ns, 1054-nm pulses. Under repeated irradiation at 5 to 7 J/cm/sup 2/, damage from small (<5 ..mu..m) particles asymptotically approaches a limiting size, but damage sur… more

Advances in Tandem Mirror fusion power reactors

Description: The Tandem Mirror exhibits several distinctive features which make the reactor embodiment of the principle very attractive: Simple low-technology linear central cell; steady-state operation; high-..beta.. operation; no driven current or disruptions; divertorless operation; direction conversion of end-loss power; low-surface heat loads; and advanced fusion fuel capability. In this paper, we examine these features in connection with two tandem mirror reactor designs, MARS and MINIMARS, and severa… more
