The Arab Oil Embargo and Its Impact on Winter Fuel Shortages

Description: This report discusses U.S. demand for fuel oil in the winter months and the effects of the Arab Oil Embargo on current and potential shortages of oil. Policy options and alternative fuel options are also discussed.

TART calculations using the new 2021 energy group cross section library compared with B. Czirr's resonance self-shielding experiments

Description: Results from calculations using a 2021-energy-group cross section library with sufficient energy definition in the lower energy range to resolve the known resorances in /sup 239/Pu and /sup 235/U are compared with flat-plate resorance self-shielding experimental data. The results are somewhat ambiguous. The lower energy ranges appear to agree better with experimental data for small areal densities, but disagree more as the areal density increases.

Understanding resonance self-shielding effects with the help of a simplified cross-section model

Description: Recent TART Monte Carlo calculations have shown discrepancies with F number measurements, as well as with measurements of fission density in /sup 235/ U and /sup 239/PU plates. These discrepancies have been attributed to the fact that the group-averaged TART cross sections cannot properly treat resorance self- shielding effects, because the width of TART groups is large compared with the width of cross-section resonances. This report attempts to explain the observed discrepancies with the help … more

Geothermal Energy Program. Subpanel Report VIII Used in Preparing the AEC Chairman's Report to the President

Description: Only one resource type is presently being used to produce power in the U. S.--dry steam generating 400 MWe at The Geysers near Santa Rosa, California. Six other types --brines at high temperature and low salinity, high temperature and high salinity, low temperature and low salinity, and in geopressured reservoirs, plus dry hot rock at shallow depth and in deep, normal-gradient formations -- are potentially available for economic energy recovery. The program plan calls for a government budgetary… more
