This article summarizes our current understanding of hydrodynamic instabilities as relevant to ICF. First we discuss classical, single mode Rayleigh-Taylor instability, and nonlinear effects in the evolution of a single mode. Then we discuss multimode systems, considering: (1) the onset of nonlinearity; (2) a second order mode coupling theory for weakly nonlinear effects, and (3) the fully nonlinear regime. Two stabilization mechanisms relevant to ICF are described next: gradient scale length and convective stabilization. Then we describe a model which is meant to estimate the weakly nonlinear evolution of multi-mode systems as relevant to ICF, given the short-wavelength stabilization. Finally, we discuss the relevant code simulation capability, and experiments. At this time we are quite optimistic about our ability to estimate instability growth on ICF capsules, but further experiments and simulations are needed to verify the modeling. 52 refs.

This report summarizes progress on OHER human health, biological, and general life sciences research programs conducted at PNL in FY 1990. The research develops the knowledge and scientific principles necessary to identify understand, and anticipate the long-term health consequences of energy-related radiation and chemicals. Our continuing emphasis is to decrease the uncertainty of health risk estimates from existing and developing energy-related technologies through an increased of understanding of how radiation and chemicals cause biological damage. The sequence of this report of PNL research reflects the OHER programmatic structure. The first section, on human health research, concerns epidemiological and statistical studies for assessing health risks. The next section contains reports of biological research in laboratory animals and in vitro cell systems, including research with radionuclides and chemicals. The general life sciences research section reports research conducted for the OHER human genome research program.

The grain size and grain growth kinetics in sputter deposited Al-2% Cu films on silicon substrates were determined by TEM for various film thicknesses and anneal times, temperatures and methods. Grain sizes were found to be typically lognormally distributed. The as- deposited grain size (d{sub o}) dependence on film thickness (TH) was found to be d{sub o} = C TH{sup {1/2}}, due to competitive grain growth during film formation. Annealed grain size (d) after Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA) for time (t) at temperature (T) is described by the general equation d {minus} do = C TH{sup 0.7} {l brace}t exp ({minus}{Delta}E{sub a}/kT){r brace}{sup 1/8}, where {Delta}E{sub a} = 0.85 ev for 0.4 {mu}m films and {Delta}E{sub a} = 1.1 ev for 0.8 {mu}m films. Grain growth is largely saturated for these anneals. Grain growth is shown to be more extensive during RTA anneals than furnace annealing and more extensive in 0.4 {mu}m films than 0.8 {mu}m films for equivalent RTA cycles. The results are discussed in terms of models, simulations and previous results of grain growth in thin metal films. 21 refs., 4 figs.

Primary design considerations for the Compact Ignition Tokamak toroidal field-coil cases are yield strength and toughness in the temperature range from 77 to 300 K. Type 21-6-9 stainless steel, also still known by its original Armco Steel Company trade name Nitronic 40, is the proposed alloy for this application. It has high yield strength and usually adequate base metal toughness, but weldments in thick sections have not been adequately characterized in terms of mechanical properties or hot-cracking propensity. In this study, weldability of the alloy in heavy sections and the mechanical properties of the resultant welds were investigated including tensile yield strength and Charpy V-notch toughness at 77 K and room temperature. Weldments were made in four different base metals using seven different filler metals. None of the weldments showed any indication of hot-cracking problems. All base metals, including weldment heat-affected zones, were found to have adequate strength and impact toughness at both test temperatures. Weld metals, on the other hand, except ERNiCr-3 and ENiCrFe-3 had impact toughnesses of less than 67 J at 77 K. Inconel 82 had an average weld metal impact toughness of over 135 J at 77 K, and although its strength at 77 K is …
