Shiva automatic alignment systems: a brief description

Description: A diagram is given of the basic Shiva alignment system. The alignment requirements, as originally specified and as preseently estimated, together with the performance obtained to date from the prototype equipment are described. It is expected that this performance will be satisfactory for even the most alignment-sensitive targets and significantly better than is needed for experiments not requiring highly uniform illumination. The hardware arrangement planned for a typical Shiva chain is shown.

Data characterization and compression. [Discussion of Prony's method]

Description: The extraction of information from measured or computed data is all-pervasive; to gain the most value from extracted information, it must often be transformed from one type of data into another, a process that can only preserve or lose information. An information-transformation process based upon Prony's method was found to be increasingly useful for application to electromagnetic-type problems in particular and a growing variety of physical problems in general. This procedure allows the coeffi… more

Tritium waste control project: October 1976--March 1977

Description: Catalytic Exchange Detritiation: A pilot-scale combined electrolysis catalytic exchange system was constructed. Tritiated Liquid Waste Decontamination (Molecular Excitation): The scavenger and irradiation cell apparatus was completed for the two-photon ISP system. The uv source (xenon flashlamp) was adapted to the photolysis cell. A problem with the optical parametric oscillator was traced to prelasing due to a degradation in isolator rejection, and the laser power supply is being modified. Fix… more

Fabrication of mandrels for making ten micron thick gold discs for the Target Fabrication Group of Y-Division

Description: This paper describes the design and fabrication of a unique silicon substrate on which gold is sputtered. It produces a finished part and eliminates the need for any etching or other processing. Several different sizes of gold dots and donuts from 50 to 750 microns diameter by 10 microns thick have been made and the process appears to be quite successful.

Update of plasma parameters for a mirror FERF

Description: Based on our current understanding of plasma behavior in mirror reactors, we have recalculated plasma parameters for a fusion engineering research facility (FERF) which uses a magnetic mirror. The most significant changes from results previously reported are a higher value of Q (0.51 vs 0.11) and a higher total neutron rate (2.82 x 10/sup 18/ vs 1.2 x 10/sup 18/ s/sup -1/) yielding a maximum neutron flux of 1.25 x 10/sup 14/ cm/sup -2/ at the wall. The required beam current is approximately 550… more

Device for measuring the ion angular distribution of 2XIIB plasma

Description: A device that measures charge-exchange flux to determine the angular distribution of the 2XIIB plasma is described. Charge-exchange products heat circular nickel foils (placed at 15/sup 0/ intervals in theta and at constant radius on an arc parallel to the z-axis) and the voltage drop across the foils (produced by constant-current sources) provides a measure of the changes in resistivity. The charge-exchange flux at each foil is proportional to the plasma distribution at that angle. Use of this… more

Prony's method for the angle domain

Description: Prony's method, a technique for obtaining the parameters of a series of complex exponentials, is used here to analyze the radiation pattern of a linear array of isotropic radiators. The locations and amplitudes of the radiators are derivable from the pattern. Possible applications include imaging and array synthesis. 4 figures, 2 tables.

Alfven-ion-cyclotron instability in the central cell of TMX

Description: The central cell of TMX may require hot-ion injection. The resulting velocity-space anisotropy together with the length of the central homogeneous region raise the possibility of convective AIC instability. In this report we demonstrate that the Rosenbluth criterion of less than a thousand-fold amplitude amplification per pass can be satisfied by ion distributions which nevertheless have sufficient anisotropy to be confined within the central cell.

Purex process engineering study: Purex aqueous discharge

Description: Effective control and monitoring of the Purex aqueous discharges are an extremely important phase of plant operation. Protection of the surrounding environment from radioactive contamination has to be of paramount importance. All possible safety measures need to be utilized and systems in place which provide effective treatment, isolation and monitoring of the discharged streams. Continual evaluation of the discharge systems is necessary to insure effective treatment and control utilizing techn… more

XSNQ-U: a non-LTE emission and absorption coefficient subroutine

Description: This report describes the non-LTE atomic-state computer program, XSNQ-U. The original classified report was issued in 1971. Since then, important changes and improvements have been included. XSNQ-U provides frequency-dependent emission and absorption coefficients for a material not in LTE (local thermodynamic equilibrium). As in XSNB, an LTE opacity subroutine, a compromise was sought between accuracy and computer speed. The result, XSNQ-U, is intended for use as a subroutine in any transport c… more

Description: Three high-pressure flow microreactors and two batch autoclave reactors have been used to study the reaction networks and kinetics of (1) catalytic hydrodesulfurization of dibenzothiophene and methyl-substituted dibenzothiophenes and (2) catalytic hydrodenitrogenation of acridine. The catalysts were commercial, sulfided CoO-MoO/sub 3//..gamma..-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and commercial, sulfided NiO-MoO/sub 3//..gamma..-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/.
