1/2/Sup +/. -->. 1/2/Sup -/ Beta Decay of /Sup 19/Ne and the Parity Nonconserving Nn Force

Description: A branching ratio of (1.20 +- 0.20) x 10/sup -4/ is obtained for the ..beta../sup +/ decay of /sup 19/Ne to the 110 keV 1/2/sup -/ level of /sup 19/F. This transition (presumably dominated by the ..delta..J/sup ..pi../ = 0/sup -/ axial charge operator) provides a crucial test of wavefunctions used in interpreting the parity mixing of the ground and 110 keV levels of /sup 19/F. These wavefunctions, which yield a parity mixing larger than that observed experimentally, also predict too large a ..b… more

16. 3 eV neutron capture in /sup 107/Ag: nuclear structure of /sup 108/Ag. [Transitions, J correlations,. pi. ]

Description: The ..gamma.. rays from neutron capture in the 0- resonance of /sup 107/Ag at 16.3 eV were studied. Thirteen primary transitions populate spin 1 levels in /sup 108/Ag below an energy of 1.5 MeV. Transitions from low lying levels change in intensity by as much as a factor of 2 between thermal neutron capture (largely spin 1) and the 0- resonance, indicating a strong correlation of the population with level spin. 7 references.

30-MJ superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) unit for stabilizing an electric transmission system

Description: Electric power systems that have major loads and generation centers separated by large distances may experience low-frequency power oscillations. This type of oscillation has occurred on the Pacific ac intertie that connects southern California and the Pacific Northwest. A separate, almost parallel, dc-transmission line also connects these areas. The Bonneville Power Administration, which operates this transmission system, has overcome the instability by controlling the power transmitted on the… more

2XIIB plasma confinement experiments

Description: This paper discusses results of plasma-confinement experiments in the 2XIIB magnetic mirror device. We report experiments attempting to achieve field-reversal using neutral-beam injection in which the central magnetic field is reduced by 90% but field lines are not closed. Experiments with different neutral-beam aiming show that at constant beta both electron temperature and the energy-confinement parameter (n tau) increase at larger radius. Finally, we discuss recent improvements in electron t… more

Absolute intensities of radiative deexcitation of /sup 46/Sc. [Widths, J, strength functions]

Description: The absolute radiative widths for E-1 and M-1 transitions in /sup 46/Sc were determined by neutron time-of-flight spectrometry. The level structure of /sup 46/Sc to 3 MeV has been studied by combining (n,..gamma..) data with previous charged particle data. As in /sup 36/Cl, scandium shows enhanced M-1's. 5 references.

Accelerator breeding of fissile materials

Description: The accelerator-driven breeder can extend an essential energy resource, fissile fuel for nuclear reactors, by a very large factor. Symbiotic breeders could be brought on line in a shorter period of time with favorable performance predictability. The economics of using accelerator breeding of fertile-to-fissile elements will become favorable as natural fissile material becomes scarce.

Accelerator control using RSX-11M and CAMAC

Description: This paper describes a computer-control system for a superconducting linear accelerator currently under development at Argonne National Laboratory. RSX-11M V3.1 running on a PDP 11/34 is used with CAMAC hardware to fully control 22 active beam-line elements and monitor critical accelerator conditions such as temperature, vacuum, and beam characteristics. This paper contrasts the use of an RSX compatible CAMAC driver for most CAMAC I/O operations and the use of the Connect-to-Interrupt Vector di… more

Accomplishments: AE characterization program for remote flaw evaluation. [BWR; PWR]

Description: The purpose of the program is to develop an experimental/analytical evaluation of the feasibility of detecting and analyzing flaw growth in reactor pressure boundaries by means of continuously monitoring acoustic emission (AE). The investigation is devoted exclusively to ASTM Type A533, Grade B, Class 1 material. The basic approach to interpretive model development is through laboratory testing of 1 to 1/sup 1///sub 2/ inch (25.4 to 38 mm) thick fracture mechanics specimens in both fatigue and … more

The Achilles' Heel of geothermal reservoir simulators

Description: The simulation of geothermal reservoirs involves the solution of the equations describing multiphase, non-isothermal flow in porous media. These equations are highly nonlinear, particularly as the solution encounters the boundary of the two-phase region. There are essentially as many ways of accommodating this nonlinearity as there are numerical models of geothermal reservoirs. However, there is no universally accepted method for establishing the relative accuracy of these techniques. Well-esta… more

Acoustic and turbulent agglomeration of sodium aerosols. Quarterly progress report, October 1, 1977--December 31, 1977. [LMFBR]

Description: Design of a wet cell washer and test system for air cleaning of sodium fire aerosols is described. The test aerosol was produced by continuous burning of metallic sodium in a 90 m/sup 3/ chamber to maintain a concentration of 1.14+-0.05 g/m/sup 3/ for as long as 65 minutes. The sodium fire aerosol was drawn through the wet cell washer test loop at a constant flow rate of 9 m/sup 3//min. The wet cell washer consisted of two cells in series, the first, two off-set layers of performated metal scre… more

Acoustic emission from hydrogen saturated Type 304L stainless steel

Description: Acoustic emission is attributed to energy release within a material body by localized plastic deformation or failure processes. The elastic stress waves may come from slip band formation, mechanical twinning, martensite transformation, or crack propagation. Each of these processes has slightly different acoustic characteristics allowing for easy identification. Acoustic emission was monitored during tensile tests of Type 304L austenitic stainless steel to explore the applicability of the techni… more

Acoustic emission generated by dislocation mechanisms during the deformation of metals

Description: Acoustic emission is a transient elastic wave generated by the rapid release of energy within a material. A wide variety of mechanisms have been proposed as possible sources of acoustic emission. Proposed mechanisms have included crack propagation, precipitate fracture, twin formation, martensite formation, dislocation motion and/or multiplication. This paper is concerned with acoustic emission generated by dislocation mechanisms operating during plastic deformation. Twinning and martensitic ph… more

Acoustic emission sources in brittle solids

Description: The sources of acoustic emission that are prevalent in brittle solids are examined, especially microcrack sources and sources that accompany macrocrack extension. The emission amplitude distributions are derived using crack opening displacement solutions pertinent to each source type, and assuming an extreme value size distribution of precursors consistent both with the functional form of typical emission amplitude distributions and with defect size observations. Acoustic emission event rates a… more

Acoustic methods for detecting water-filled fractures using commercial logging tools

Description: The Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Energy Development Project, under the Department of Energy and in cooperation with Dresser Atlas, has conducted single- and dual-well acoustic measurements to detect fractures in the artificial geothermal reservoir at the Fenton Hill New Mexico experimental site. The measurements were made using modified Dresser Atlas logging tools. Signals traversed distances of from 48 to 150 feet between two wells. Signals intersecting hydraulic fr… more
