Hot dry rock geothermal reservoir engineering

Description: Two wells, GT-2 and EE-1, were originally drilled to a depth of 9600 ft (2.93 km) and 10,000 ft (3.05 km), respectively, and, after some difficulties, including redrilling of the bottom portion of GT-2, a good fracture connection was made between EE-1 and GT-2B, as the modified GT-2 was called. The circulation system was studied extensively for the purpose of establishing a number of fracture properties. Techniques were developed to determine orientation, geometry, heat exchange area, volume, f… more

Choice of Coolant in Commercial Tokamak Power Plants

Description: The STARFIRE design study focused on solid tritium breeder blankets in order to minimize the stored chemical energy. The most suitable coolant candidates with solid tritium breeders are water and helium. This paper presents the results of a comparative study of the two coolants. The study shows clear advantages for the choice of pressurized water for the conditions of the STARFIRE tokamak power plant design. The study also identifies those areas where development is required in order to utilize… more

STARFIRE: A Conceptual Design of a Commercial Tokamak Power Plant. Paper IAEA-CN-39/E-1

Description: STARFIRE is a conceptual design for a commercial tokamak power plant based on the deuterium/tritium/lithium fuel cycle. The emphasis of the study is on the simplicity of the engineering design, maintainability, lower electricity cost, and improved safety and environmental features. The reactor has a 7-m major radius and produces 1200 MW of electric power. STARFIRE operates in a steady-state mode with the plasma current driven by a lower hybrid rf system. The plasma purity control and exhaust sy… more

Limiter/Vacuum System for Plasma Impurity Control and Exhaust in Tokamaks

Description: A detailed design of a limiter/vacuum system for plasma impurity control and exhaust has been developed for the STARFIRE tokamak power plant. It is shown that the limiter/vacuum concept is a very attractive option for power reactors. It is relatively simple and inexpensive and deserves serious experimental verification.

Large-area proportional counter camera for the US National Small-Angle Neutron Scattering Facility

Description: An engineering model of a multiwire position-sensitive proportional-counter (PSPC) was developed, tested, and installed at the US National Small-Angle Neutron Scattering Facility at ORNL. The PSPC is based on the RC-encoding and time-difference decoding method to measure the spatial coordinates of the interaction loci of individual scattered neutrons. The active area of the PSPC is 65 cm x 65 cm, and the active depth is 3.6 cm. The spatial uncertainty in both coordinates is approx. 1.0 cm (fwhm… more

Anomalous low mass e/sup +/e/sup -/ pair production in 17 GeV/c. pi. /sup -/p collisions

Description: An experiment was performed at the Multiparticle Spectrometer using 17 GeV/c ..pi../sup -/ from the BNL AGS, triggering upon inclusive e/sup +/e/sup -/ production. Electron identification was based on two transition radiator detectors and lead-scintillator shower detectors. Good acceptance for the e/sup +/e/sup -/ pair covered the region x/sub F/ > 0.3 for all p/sub T/ and pair masses. Charged particles and photons associated with the e/sup +/e/sup -/ pair are detected over a large solid ang… more

Delay modeling in logic simulation

Description: As digital integrated circuit size and complexity increases, the need for accurate and efficient computer simulation increases. Logic simulators such as SALOGS (SAndia LOGic Simulator), which utilize transition states in addition to the normal stable states, provide more accurate analysis than is possible with traditional logic simulators. Furthermore, the computational complexity of this analysis is far lower than that of circuit simulation such as SPICE. An eight-value logic simulation enviro… more

Fortran for the 1980's

Description: The new standard Fortran 77 has not been available long, but the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) committee X3J3 responsible for Fortran standardization is already working on the next revision. Since the result of this work will be a candidate for an international (ISO) standard, it is important that work being done now become known to all persons interested in Fortran. A new set of problems related to the accommodation of related standards in data base management and real-time proc… more

Response of LOFT SPNDs to reactor coolant density variations during a LOCA simulation

Description: Analysis of self-powered neutron detector (SPND) data taken during loss-of-coolant experiment (LOCE) L2-3 conducted in the Loss-of-Fluid Test (LOFT) facility has shown that the detectors are sensitive, in a qualitative sense, to coolant density variations in the reactor core. These results provide a strong impetus for determining the applicability of self-powered nuclear flux detectors for liquid level measurement in the reactor vessel of a pressurized water reactor (PWR) during transient condi… more

Results of small break LOCA experiments in the LOFT reactor system with comparison to code calculations. [PWR]

Description: The results are presented of three small break loss-of-coolant experiments performed in the LOFT Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) system. Experiment L3-0, performed without reactor power, represented a loss of coolant from the power operated relief valve on the top of the pressurizer. Experiments L3-1 and L3-2 were initiated with the reactor at full power (maximum linear heat generation rate approximately 52 kW/m) and represented 4-in and 1-in diameter breaks, respectively, in the reactor inlet … more

The NSPP program, sponsored by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, is to provide experimental qualification of the HAARM-3 aerosol behavioral code being independently developed at Battelle-Columbus Laboratories. The results of fourteen single-component and six mixed-component aerosol … more

Permeability enhancement using explosive techniques

Description: In situ recovery methods for many of our hydrocarbon and mineral resources depend on the ability to create or enhance permeability in the resource bed to allow uniform and predictable flow. To meet this need, a new branch of geomechanics devoted to computer prediction of explosive rock breakage and permeability enhancement has developed. The computer is used to solve the nonlinear equations of compressible flow, with the explosive behavior and constitutive properties of the medium providing the… more

Computer simulation of explosive fracture of oil shale

Description: The steps in assembling the computational tools needed to simulate the explosive fracture of oil shale have been described. The resulting code, with its input data, was then used to simulate three explosive field experiments. The results of the calculations are in good agreement with what actually occurred in the field. Further detailed comparisons are in progress for these experiments and the others that have been conducted. As this is done, improvements will be made in the input data and in t… more

Metabolism of fatty acids in rat brain in microsomal membranes

Description: Using a technique in which substrate fatty acids are incorporated into microsomal membranes followd by comparison of their rates of desaturation or elongation with those of exogenous added fatty acids it has been found that the desaturation rate is more rapid for the membrane-bound substrate than for the added fatty acid. Moreover, the product of the membrane-bound substrate is incorporated into membrane phospholipid whereas the product of the exogenous substrate is found in di- and triacyl gly… more

Description: I.D. wafering equipment, blades and processes were used to develop methods for producing large areas of silicon sheet. Modifications to a 16 inch STC automated saw included programmable feed system; crystal rotating system; and STC dyna-track blade monitoring and control system. By controlling the plating operation and by grinding of the cutting edge, we were able to produce 16 inch I.D. blades with a cutting edge thickness of .22 mm. Crystal rotation mechanism was used to slice 100 mm diameter… more

Convective heat transfer in MHD channels and its influence on channel performance

Description: The limitations of the integral boundary layer methods and the potential of the differential boundary layer method in analyzing MHD channel flows are assessed. The sensitivity of results from the integral method to the parametrization of boundary layer profiles and calculation of wall heat transfer is established. A mixing-length type turbulence model for flow on rough walls is developed and validated by comparison with experimental data. The turbulence model is used in a quasi-three-dimensiona… more
