Material control system simulator program reference manual

A description is presented of a Material Control System Simulator (MCSS) program for determination of material accounting uncertainty and system response to particular adversary action sequences that constitute plausible material diversion attempts. The program is intended for use in situations where randomness, uncertainty, or interaction of adversary actions and material control system components make it difficult to assess safeguards effectiveness against particular material diversion attempts. Although MCSS may be used independently in the design or analysis of material handling and processing systems, it has been tailored toward the determination of material accountability and the response of material control systems to adversary action sequences.

CHEETAH 1.0 user`s manual (open access)

CHEETAH 1.0 user`s manual

CHEETAH is an effort to bring the TIGER thermochemical code into the 1990s. A wide variety of improvements have been made in Version 1.0, and a host of others will be implemented in the future. In CHEETAH 1.0 I have improved the robustness and ease of use of TIGER. All of TIGER`s solvers have been replaced by new algorithms. I find that CHEETAH solves a wider variety of problems with no user intervention (e.g. no guesses for the C-J state) than TIGER did. CHEETAH has been made simpler to use than TIGER; typical use of the code occurs with the new standard run command. I hope that CHEETAH makes the use of thermochemical codes more attractive to practical explosive formulators. In the future I plan to improve the underlying science in CHEETAH. More accurate equations of state will be used in the gas and the condensed phase. A kinetics capability will be added to the code that will predict reaction zone thickness. CHEETAH is currently a numerical implementation of C-J theory. It will,become an implementation of ZND theory. Further ease of use features will eventually be added; an automatic formulator that adjusts concentrations to match desired properties is planned.

NH/sub 3/ preconcentrator/integrator instruction manual. [Measured 10 parts per billion of ammonia in room air] (open access)

NH/sub 3/ preconcentrator/integrator instruction manual. [Measured 10 parts per billion of ammonia in room air]

Microwave rotational spectrometry is a very selective analytical technique for polar gaseous compounds. For some selected molecules (e.g., HN/sub 3/, H/sub 2/CO, SO/sub 2/, etc.) concentrations as low as 100 ppB can be detected by continuously flowing the analyzed gas mixture through the absorption cell. However, some form of preconcentration of the desired species is required for detection limits below 100 ppB. Initial work with various trap materials for ammonia suggests using chromatographic packing material. Specifically, Chromasorb 104 provides an efficient trap and has been found to quantitatively release the ammonia upon slight heating. A preconcentrator/integrator module to thoroughly test the concept of quantitative preconcentration by the method of adsorption-desorption on chromatographic packing materials was constructed. It was used in conjunction with the microwave spectrometer ammonia detector to provide quantitative data of trapping efficiency and reproducibility. The preconcentrator/integrator system is described. (WHK)

NIKE3D a nonlinear, implicit, three-dimensional finite element code for solid and structural mechanics user's manual update summary (open access)

NIKE3D a nonlinear, implicit, three-dimensional finite element code for solid and structural mechanics user's manual update summary

This report provides the NIKE3D user's manual update summary for changes made from version 3.0.0 April 24, 1995 to version 3.3.6 March 24,2000. The updates are excerpted directly from the code printed output file (hence the Courier font and formatting), are presented in chronological order and delineated by NIKE3D version number. NIKE3D is a fully implicit three-dimensional finite element code for analyzing the finite strain static and dynamic response of inelastic solids, shells, and beams. Spatial discretization is achieved by the use of 8-node solid elements, 2-node truss and beam elements, and 4-node membrane and shell elements. Thirty constitutive models are available for representing a wide range of elastic, plastic, viscous, and thermally dependent material behavior. Contact-impact algorithms permit gaps, frictional sliding, and mesh discontinuities along material interfaces. Several nonlinear solution strategies are available, including Full-, Modified-, and Quasi-Newton methods. The resulting system of simultaneous linear equations is either solved iteratively by an element-by-element method, or directly by a direct factorization method.

Technical Review of Law Enforcement Standards and Guides Relative to Incident Management (open access)

Technical Review of Law Enforcement Standards and Guides Relative to Incident Management

In an effort to locate potential law enforcement-related standards that support incident management, a team from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) contacted representatives from the National Institute of Standards-Office of Law Enforcement Standards (NIST-OLES), National Institute of Justice (NIJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Secret Service, ASTM International committees that have a law enforcement focus, and a variety of individuals from local and regional law enforcement organizations. Discussions were held with various state and local law enforcement organizations. The NIJ has published several specific equipment-related law enforcement standards that were included in the review, but it appears that law enforcement program and process-type standards are developed principally by organizations that operate at the state and local level. Input is provided from state regulations and codes and from external non-government organizations (NGOs) that provide national standards. The standards that are adopted from external organizations or developed independently by state authorities are available for use by local law enforcement agencies on a voluntary basis. The extent to which they are used depends on the respective jurisdictions involved. In some instances, use of state and local disseminated standards is mandatory, but in most cases, use is voluntary. Usually, the extent to which …
