Multiheteromacrocycles that complex metal ions. Sixth progress report, 1 May 1979-30 April 1980. [Hemispherands; spherands]

Description: Objective is to design synthesize, and evaluate cyclic and polycyclic host organic compounds for their abilities to complex and lipophilize guest metal ions, their complexes, and their clusters. Host organic compounds consist of strategically placed solvating, coordinating, and ion-pairing sites tied together by covalent bonds through hydrocarbon units around cavities shaped to be occupied by guest metal ions or by metal ions plus their ligands. Specificity in complexation is sought by matching… more

REACTOR FUEL WASTE DISPOSAL PROJECT PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE EFFECT ON SALT CAVITIES AND SURVEY OF LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS STORAGE

Description: It is deemed feasible to store reactor fuel wastes in a salt dome cavity to a depth where the differential in pressure between the soil over-burden pressure and pressure of the fluid inside the cavity does not exceed 3000 psi, and the temperature is less than 400 deg F. Tests at pressure increments of 1000 psi were conducted on a 2" cylindrical cavity contained in a 6-in. long by 6-in. cylindrical salt core. Tests indicate that the cavity exhibited complete stability under pressures to 300… more

Ramping of solid iron analysis magnets in experimental areas: BM109 preliminary results

Description: The long main ring TeV pulse period of 60 sec with a 20 sec flattop makes it attractive to ramp solid iron magnets, such as BM109's, etc., in synchronisms with the main ring pulse. Annual energy cost savings for a BM109 could be up to a maximum of $6.6 per hour or %58,000 per year. Are there 10 or more magnets we could ramp. What is the lag between the magnet excitation current and the magnet field. It is probably small because these magnets have large air gaps and therefore relatively short (s… more
