Conceptual Design of a 300-Mwe Paste-Fueled Fast Breeder Power Reactor

Description: "This report describes the conceptual design of 300 Mwe fast breeder reactor power plant that utilizes a paste-fuel system consisting of small, spherical particles settled in sodium" (p. 7). It includes a discussion of the paste-fuel system, the design of the core and blanket structure with analysis, a description of the fuel-handling system, processes for fabricating and processing the fuel, and schematics.

Geothermal R and D Project report for October 1, 1975--December 30, 1975

Description: The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) Geothermal Research and Development Project is conducting two major geothermal development efforts: 1) a project aimed at medium temperature (approximately 300/sup 0/F) utilization to produce electricity with supplemental direct thermal use of the energy; and 2) a low temperature (approximately 170/sup 0/F) space heating project. The first effort has progressed in the field to the successful drilling of two deep geothermal wells providing flows o… more

Application of pulsed electron beam vaporization to studies of UO/sub 2/. [LMFBR]

Description: A method for determining the pressure versus internal energy coordinates of the liquid-vapor saturation curve is applied to the study of UO/sub 2/. The experimental details and results of an initial series of tests are described. A comparison of the measurement results to models of the UO/sub 2/ equation of state illustrates the role of the heat capacity in describing the P--E characteristics of the state surface. A discussion of the available heat capacity information suggests that additional … more

Global Warming: A Northwest Perspective

Description: The Northwest Power Planning Council convened a symposium in Olympia, Washington, on the subject of global climate change ( the greenhouse effect'') and its potential for affecting the Pacific Northwest. The symposium was organized in response to a need by the Power Council to understand global climate change and its potential impacts on resource planning and fish and wildlife planning for the region, as well as a need to understand national policy developing toward climate change and the Pacif… more

Phase 0: goal study for the technical and economic evaluation of the Compound Parabolic Concentrator (CPC) concept applied to solar thermal and photovoltaic collectors. Final report

Description: This report presents the results of a quick, six-week technical and economic evaluation of the compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) solar collector. The purpose of this effort was to provide an initial phase of a goals study that is directed toward recommending relative priorities for development of the compound parabolic concentrator concept. The findings of this study are of a very preliminary nature. Conclusions based on study findings at this depth should be considered preliminary and subj… more

Sensitivity of the reactor safety study consequences model to mixing heights

Description: The sensitivity to mixing height values of the consequence model used in the Reactor Safety Study has been investigated. Increasing mixing height values by a factor of 2 or decreasing by factors of 2, 5, or 10 had negligible effects on early-fatality predictions. Plume penetration of a low-lying inversion layer substantially decreases early-fatality predictions. Therefore, consequence model predictions are insensitive to mixing height values and conservative with respect to plume penetration of… more

Dynamic Isotope Power System: technology verification phase, program plan, 1 October 1978

Description: The technology verification phase program plan of the Dynamic Isotope Power System (DIPS) project is presented. DIPS is a project to develop a 0.5 to 2.0 kW power system for spacecraft using an isotope heat source and a closed-cycle Rankine power-system with an organic working fluid. The technology verification phase's purposes are to increase the system efficiency to over 18%, to demonstrate system reliability, and to provide an estimate for flight test scheduling. Progress toward these goals … more

DENSJT: statistical shell-model level density computer code description and user's manual. [In FORTRAN for CDC Cyber-70 computer]

Description: The FORTRAN code DENSJT described here is constructed to calculate the appropriate moments and dimensions needed in describing the Gaussian level density for fixed values of the total angular momentum (J) and isobaric spin (T = T/sub 0/). The input for this code is the same as in the usual shell-model codes, namely, the single-particle orbital properties and the antisymmetric two-body matrix elements. To calculate the moments for fixed values of the angular momentum (J) a method described by Gi… more

Photoelectron spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy of solids and surfaces

Description: The use of photoelectron spectroscopy, primarily x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, to obtain information on the electronic structure of a wide variety of solids (especially the bulk electronic structure of solids) is covered. Both valence band and core-level spectra, as well as a few cases of photon excited Auger electron spectroscopy, are employed in the investigations to derive information on N(E). The effect of several modulations inherent in the measured I(E)'s, such as final state band str… more

Effects of impurities on PuO/sub 2/ dissolution in nitric-hydrofluoric acid solutions

Description: The effects of 0.10 M Cu/sup 2 +/, Hg/sup 2 +/, Zn/sup 2 +/, La/sup 3 +/, Ce/sup 3 +/, Al/sup 3 +/, Th/sup 4 +/,Zr/sup 4 +/, Cr/sup 3 +/, and Fe/sup 3 +/ on PuO/sub 2/ dissolution in 8.0M HNO/sub 3/--0.1M HF were investigated. Except for Cr/sup 3 +/ and Fe/sup 3 +/, the amount of Pu dissolved in 1 hour can be predicted by either log C(Pu) = -0.32 log K/sub F/ - 1.53 (K/sub F/ = first stability constant for the impurity metal fluoride complex) or log C(Pu) = -0.5 Z/sup 2//d-1.11 (Z = ionic charg… more

Telemetry component tests in the FN tandem terminal

Description: When an electrostatic tandem accelerator is used primarily for heavy ion acceleration, numerous communication channels with the high voltage terminal are desirable. The ANL FN tandem operates at a tank pressure of 100 psi SF/sub 6/ at terminal voltages up to 9.5 MeV. A low powered He-Ne laser with 15 percent modulation has been successfully tested in the terminal under normal operating conditions. Such a system allows the transmission of information without the use of light guides. Multistrande… more
