Brayton-cycle heat recovery-system characterization program. Subatmospheric-system test report

Description: The turbine tests and results for the Brayton cycle subatmospheric system (SAS) are summarized. A scaled model turbine was operated in the same environment as that which a full-scale SAS machine would experience from the hot effluent flue gas from a glass container furnace. The objective of the testing was to evaluate the effects of a simulated furnace flue gas stream on the turbine nozzles and blades. The following specific areas were evaluated: erosion of the turbine nozzles and blades from t… more

CARBON-14 IN SAGEBRUSH ON THE HANFORD SITE AND VICINITY

Description: The purpose of this study was to estimate the levels of {sup 14}C in sagebrush wood from plants growing on the Hanford Site and vicinity and to determine if these levels could be attributed to past and present operations at Hanford. Mature sagebrush plants were collected at one onsite and two offsite locations and analyzed for {sup 14}C. The offsite samples were collected both 60 km upwind and 26 km downwind from fuel reprocessing facilities on the Hanford Site. The results from these samples s… more

Central helium density measurements in PLT

Description: The central helium density in PLT has been deduced from measurements of the ratio of d-/sup 3/He to d-d fusion reactions during deuterium neutral beam injection. The inward transport time for /sup 3/He puffed at the edge plasma was 10 ..-->.. 30 msec. The decay time of the central /sup 3/He density increased with electron density, varying from 0.3 sec to greater than 1.0 sec over the density range of (1 ..-->.. 5) x 10/sup 13/ cm/sup -3/.

Ceramic phases for immobilization of /sup 129/I. [Sodalite and boracite]

Description: Materials for ultimate disposal of /sup 129/I have been studied. At present, iodide-sodalite, though not ideal, appears to be the best material for /sup 129/I immobilization from the aspects of ease of preparation, thermal stability, cost of materials, and leach resistance. Good consolidation of the material was achieved by sintering in air at 1000 to 1200/sup 0/C, but the iodine content was significantly below stoichiometric expectations. Hot aqueous media preferentially removed iodine, appare… more

Characterization of geothermal solid wastes

Description: The compositions of 5 major types of geothermal wastes have been determined, and samples have been subjected to EPA recommended extraction tests to determine if they contain toxic metals that would classify the wastes as hazardous. Of the samples tested, the extracts of geothermal brines clearly contain levels of As, Ba and Pb exceeding the maximum allowed concentrations that characterize wastes as toxic. Only one other waste type, geothermal scale, exhibited EP toxicity. Pb was found in the ex… more

CO/sub 2/-laser ignition of DAPP targets

Description: A pulse derived by shuttering a CO/sub 2/ laser operating in the cw mode has been used to ignite a diallyl phthalate pyrotechnic (DAPP) material. Data from this work along with some data taken earlier, while operating the laser in the pulse mode, are presented. When operating in the cw mode, a pulse is mechanically chopped out of the beam and focussed onto the DAPP material. It was found that the shuttered cw mode of operation gives a more reproducible pulse and a more accurate determination of… more

Consolidation and permeability of salt in brine

Description: The consolidation and loss of permeability of salt crystal aggregates, important in assessing the effects of water in salt repositories, has been studied as a function of several variables. The kinetic behavior was similar to that often observed in sintering and suggested the following expression for the time dependence of the void fraction: phi(t) = phi(0) - (A/B)ln(1 + Bt/z(0)/sup 3/), where A and B are rate constants and z(0) is initial average particle size. With brine present, A and phi(0)… more

Data management in a fusion energy research experiment

Description: Present-day fusion research requires extensive support for the large amount of scientific data generated, bringing about three distinct problems computer systems must solve: (1) the processing of large amounts of data in very small time frames; (2) the archiving, analyzing and managing of the entire data output for the project's lifetime; (3) the standardization of data for the exchange of information between laboratories. The computer system supporting General Atomic's Doublet III to… more
