Single Particle Excitation Theory Of The Photonuclear Giant Resonance

Description: Calculations of the photonuclear giant resonance according to the Wilkinson model are presented in this report. In this model the giant resonance in the cross section for absorption of gamma rays by nuclei is ascribed to the excitation of large numbers of nucleons in closed shells. The model generally predicts correctly the integrated cross section for the giant resonance, bu the resonance energy is too low. Results are presented in a series of tables and formulas so that the integrated cross s… more

Transpiration of helium and carbon monoxide through a multihundred watt, PICS filter. [Primary impact containment shell (PICS)]

Description: The transpiration of CO through the Multihundred Watt (MHW) filter can be described by Fick's first law or as a first order, reversible reaction. From Fick's first law, a ''diffusion'' coefficient of 7.8 x 10/sup -4/ cm.L/sec (L is the average path length through the filter) was determined. For the first order reversible reaction, a rate constant of 0.0058 hr/sup -1/ was obtained for both the forward and reverse reactions (they were assumed to be equal). This corresponds to a half-life of 120 h… more

Tritium waste control project progress report, October--December 1975. [Tritiated waste decontamination by molecular excitation; catalytic exchange detritiation studies; development of shipping containers for tritiated liquid waste]

Description: In the tritiated liquid waste decontamination by molecular excitation studies, further calculations were performed on the hydrogen atom-water exchange reactions. Assembly and testing of the cell to be used for the measurement of the HTO IR spectrum were completed. As a result of findings from trial loadings using HD as a surrogate for HT in the oxidation system, it is believed that larger quantities of HTO will be required to obtain the desired ir spectrum. This appears to be a result of a sign… more

Brief assessment of some technical and radiological hazard factors affecting clad waste management

Description: In the management of the adverse byproducts of nuclear energy, the general problem is centered in the post-reactor discharge phases. Various waste streams are generated in the reprocessing and fuel manufacturing plants which add both volume and physicochemical diversity to the nuclear fuel waste management problem. Of these streams, the high level waste (HLW) and the clad waste streams carry the principal radiological hazard and thermal power burdens when considering post reactor-discharge time… more

Radioisotope space power generator annual report, July 1, 1974--June 30, 1975. [TPM-217 P-type material and SiGe technology]

Description: The Isotec Technology Program for FY-75 concentrated on materials development efforts in two areas: TPM-217 P-type material and SiGe technology. TPM-217 P-type material is a 3M proprietary thermoelectric material whose principal components are Cu, Ag, and Se. The usefulness of TPM-217 P-type selenide in thermoelectric converters depends on its dimensional, electrical, and thermal stability at high temperature and its compatibility with other converter component materials in a low-pressure envir… more

Nonlinear radiation transport problems involving widely varying mean free paths

Description: In this report a method is given for modifying the Monte-Carlo approach so that one can accurately treat problems that involve both large and small mean free paths. This method purports to offer the advantages of the general Monte Carlo technique as far as relatively great accuracy of simulation of microscopic physical phenomena is concerned, and the advantage of a diffusion theory approach as far as decent time steps in thick problems are concerned; it does suffer from something of the statist… more

Low-temperature geothermal resource and stratigraphy of portions of Yakima County, Washington

Description: The low-temperature geothermal resource of portions of Yakima County, south-central Washington, is defined by several least squares linear regression analyses of bottom-hole temperature and depth data. Bottom-hole temperature and depth data were separated into fourteen well data groups based on geographic proximity, land slope azimuth, and position within the regional ground-water flow system. The depths of these wells range from over 50m to almost 600m. The regression analyses of these well da… more

Characterization of the Near-Field Transport and Dispersion of Vapors Released from the Headspaces of Hanford Site Underground Storage Tanks

Description: A parametric air dispersion analysis has been conducted to define the range of tank vapor concentrations from the Hanford Site underground tanks that can potentially occur in the worker breathing zones from active and passive releases from the waste tanks. The potential influences of tank farm specific release characteristics, ambient meteorological conditions, local farm surface roughness, and topographical influences are considered. The parametric approach allows consideration of the full ran… more

Establishment of a Cost-Effective and Robust Planning Basis for the Processing of M-91 Waste at the Hanford Site

Description: This report identifies and evaluates viable alternatives for the accelerated processing of Hanford Site transuranic (TRU) and mixed low-level wastes (MLLW) that cannot be processed using existing site capabilities. Accelerated processing of these waste streams will lead to earlier reduction of risk and considerable life-cycle cost savings. The processing need is to handle both oversized MLLW and TRU containers as well as containers with surface contact dose rates greater than 200 mrem/hr. This … more

Effects of Globally Waste-Disturbing Activities on Gas Generation, Retention, and Release in Hanford Waste Tanks

Description: Various operations are authorized in Hanford tanks that disturb all or much of the waste. The globally waste-disturbing activities have the potential to release a large fraction of the retained flammable gas and to affect future gas generation, retention, and release behavior. This report presents analyses of the expected flammable gas release mechanisms and the potential release rates and volumes resulting from these activities. The background of the flammable gas safety issue at Hanford is su… more

Physical and Liquid Chemical Simulant Formulations for Transuranic Waste in Hanford Single-Shell Tanks

Description: CH2M HILL Hanford Group, Inc. (CH2M HILL) is in the process of identifying and developing supplemental process technologies to accelerate the tank waste cleanup mission. A range of technologies is being evaluated to allow disposal of Hanford waste types, including transuranic (TRU) process wastes. Ten Hanford single-shell tanks (SSTs) have been identified whose contents may meet the criteria for designation as TRU waste: the B-200 series (241-B-201, -B-202, -B 203, and B 204), the T-200 series … more

Research program on fractured petroleum reservoirs. 2nd Quarterly report, April 1, 1994--June 30, 1994

Description: Gas-oil gravity drainage experiments in a layered system which were carried out in 1993 are analyzed. The analysis reveals that the shape of the gas relative permeability governs the arrival of the gas phases at the interface between the layers. Based on the analysis of the experiments, it is concluded that, unlike gravity drainage in homogeneous media, the gravity drainage performance of layered media for the unstable downward gas fingering case, is sensitive to the gas relative permeability c… more
