Long-term Student Loans: Selected Proposals for Repayment according to "Ability to Pay".

Description: This report describes the loan proposals of Messrs. Kingman Brewster, Jr., Charles Killingsworth, Edward Shapiro, and William Vickrey and the more recent proposals of the panel on Educational Innovation. These proposals would permit a student to draw an advance at least equal to the cost of his education without imposing a financial burden on the taxpayer or the federal government.

Screening study on high temperature energy transport systems

Description: The purpose of the study described in this document is to identify the options for transporting thermal energy over long distances. The study deals specifically and exclusively with high temperature (> 400/sup 0/C(752/sup 0/F)) energy for industrial use. Energy transport is seen as a potential solution to: high unit cost of small coal and nuclear steam generators, and opposition to siting of coal or nuclear plants near populated areas. The study is of a preliminary nature but covers many option… more

SRE CONTROL ROD SHIELDING REQUIREMENTS

Description: Data taken on radiation traverse of the Mark 1 control rod were analyzed. Future radiation levels for all SRE control and safety rods were predicted from this. The shielding necessary to ship a complete rod and that necessary to protect a person doing maintenance work on these rods were calculated. The unshielded gamma dose rate 1 cm from the surface of the most highly activated portion of the control rod was calculated to be 5.0 x 10/sup 4/ r/hr 14 days after shutdown following an extended pow… more

Improved tunnel resistance of silvered-polymer mirrors

Description: This report documents the research performed at the Solar Energy Research Institute during fiscal year (FY) 1991 to develop ways to prevent delamination failure (known as tunneling) of silvered-polymer reflector materials. Several promising approaches have been identified and demonstrated that substantially reduce such failures. These approaches include (1) use of Tedlar edge tape rather than the manufacturer-recommended ECP-244 tape, (2) thermal treatment of laminated reflector/substrate const… more

Optical watthour meter digitizer

Description: As concern about energy conservation and energy-use efficiency increases, a simple and inexpensive instrument that would provide accurate, reliable and high-resolution data on electrical energy usage should find widespread application in research and industrial facilities. An instrument that would also provide one or more outputs compatible with a wide range of digital data acquisition systems would be especially appropriate, since the use of automatic data logging equipment is now common, even… more

EXTRACTION OF NEPTUNIUM FROM ACIDIC SOLUTIONS BY ORGANIC NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS COMPOUNDS

Description: Neptunium distribution coefficients from acid nitrate, chloride, and sulfate solutions by several organic nitiogen and phosphorus compounds were measured as functions of several extraction variables, including neptunium valence, acid and salt concentration, and reagent concentration. Extractability by all the reagents varied in the order Np(IV)> Np(VI)>> Np(V). Except for primary amines, all reagents extracted Np(IV) much more strongly from nitrate than sulfate solutions. Among organonitrogen c… more

RADIOISOTOPE AND RADIATION APPLICATIONS QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT. SECTION I. USE OF INTRINSIC RADIOACTIVE TRACERS FOR PROCESS CONTROL. SECTION II. RADIATION-INDUCED GRAFT-POLYMERIZATION STUDIES

Description: Research was continued in the areas of intrinsic radioactive tracers for industrial process control and the influence of structural factors in radiation- induced graft polymerization. The use of in-process isotope neutron soarces to produce short-lived radiotraces is discussed. A 10c Po--Be neutron source was obtained for exploratory experiments. The design and construction of a neutronsource storage shield and an activatioa-cell holder are underway. The effect of structural factors oii the eIf… more

Metal vapor excimer laser. Quarterly progress report, May 1, 1977--July 31, 1977. [CdHg vapors]

Description: The CdHg excimer program will attempt to determine the existence of optical gain in a discharge pumped high temperature medium. This first quarterly contract period primarily involves detailed design of the experimental apparatus capable of producing high temperature metal vapor. The report begins with the general considerations which went into designing the experiment and follows with descriptions and schematics of the experiment as presently conceived.

Thermal-Stress and Strain-Fatigue Analyses of the MSRE Fuel and Coolant Pump Tanks

Description: Thermal-stress and strain-fatigue analyses of the MSRE fuel and coolant pump tanks were completed for determining the quantity of coollng air required to obtain the maximum life of the pump tanks and to determine the acceptability of the pump tanks for the intended service of 100 heating cycles from room temperature to 1200 deg F and 500 reactor power-change cycles from zero to 10 Mw. A cooling-air flow rate of 200 cfm for the fuel pump tank was found to be an optimum value that provided an amp… more

SNAP 7 Program--Task 8--Strontium-90 Fueled Thermoelectric Generator Development. Quarterly Progress Report No. 5, November 1, 1961 to January 31, 1962

Description: The SNAP 7A battery and converter were subjected to the required shock, vibration and temperature teats. The generator was fueled, postfueling radiation levels were checked and the generator was integrated into the complete SNAP 7A system. After the completion of acceptance tests, the SNAP 7A system was installed in a buoy which, in turn, was anchored in the bay where it will be subjected to further evaluation. The SNAP 7C generator was shipped for transport to Antarctica. The generator will po… more

DEVELOPMENT OF PLUTONIUM BEARING FUEL MATERIALS. Progress Report for Period April 1 through June 30, 1961

Description: BS>Activities are discussed for work done in the preparation of PuO/sub 2/ using the continuous oxalate process, and continuous coprecipitation studies using a uranium-20 wt% plutonium nitrate feed solution. Characterization studies of the PuO/sub 2/ powders indicated that variations in the processing variables can affect the final product. Measurements with the B. E. T. and Innes apparatus confirmed that the specific surface area of the initial batch of the PuO/sub 2/ powder had increased appr… more
