Capacitor loading equipment module (CLEM) operation manual

The purpose of this manual is to provide the necessary information to safely operate and maintain the capacitor loading equipment module designed and built by EG&G, Inc. for the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory Shiva Laser System. The system consist of two primary pieces of equipment: a Clark forklift and the Platform Assembly (CLEM). The fork-lift transports CLEM to and from capacitor module racks and repair/storage areas, and provides 24-volt d-c power to CLEM. The CLEM system is used to place or remove capacitor modules to or from shelves and provides a platform for transport. Capacitor modules are approximately 15 in. high and 30 in. deep. The widths and weights range from 42 in. to 75 in. and 600 lb. to 1125 lb., respectively. The storage racks are 7 shelves high and spaced 20.5 in. apart. The fourth through seventh shelf are considered the upper level. CLEM also has a manlift and remote control station to provide the operator access to capacitor modules on shelves higher than S feet. The CLEM platform translates right and left from the center position to the shelf. A drawbar, which pulls a capacitor module onto the platform or pushes the module from the platform onto the …

Program user's manual: cryogen system for the analysis for the Mirror Fusion Test Facility

The Mirror Fusion Test Facility being designed and constructed at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory requires a liquid helium liquefaction, storage, distribution, and recovery system and a liquid nitrogen storage and distribution system. To provide a powerful analytical tool to aid in the design evolution of this system through hardware, a thermodynamic fluid flow model was developed. This model allows the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory to verify that the design meets desired goals and to play what if games during the design evolution. For example, what if the helium flow rate is changed in the magnet liquid helium flow loop; how does this affect the temperature, fluid quality, and pressure. This manual provides all the information required to run all or portions of this program as desired. In addition, the program is constructed in a modular fashion so changes or modifications can be made easily to keep up with the evolving design.

Comprehensive information retrieval and model input sequence (CIRMIS): user's manual. [PDP computers]

This manual describes the user interaction with the CIRMIS System. The portions of the system are divided into three sections: Well-based Data Retrieval System describes the procedures involved in the retrieval of well-based data. Capabilities are available to display graphically various types of information relating to wells and/or obtain hard copy plots and line printer listings of these data. Special Applications and Manipulations describes the procedures involved in the generation and manipulation of surface files, the generation and use of map boundary files, special computer models that utilize these data, and special utility programs. Model Input Sequencing describes the procedures involved in setting up of input parameters and control of Major Predictive Models controlled by the CIRMIS system.

MCOCO: a computer program for seismic analysis of the HTGR core. Volume I. User's and theoretical manual

This report presents documentation of the MCOCO (Multiple COre COlumn) computer program. The program was generated to perform dynamic analysis on a gas-cooled reactor core, which, structurally, is not only nonlinear, but also discontinuous. The report may be used as both a theoretical and user's manual for the MCOCO code. Input for the program consists of geometric and dynamic data (mass, spring constants, etc.). Output includes dowel forces, element collision forces, spring pack forces and core support floor forces. Core and boundary motion are also provided as output and, as an option, may be utilized to generate SC-4020 or CALCOMP plots.

Solar central receiver prototype heliostat. Interim technical progress report (open access)

Solar central receiver prototype heliostat. Interim technical progress report

The objective of Phase I of this project is to support the Solar Central Receiver Power Plant research, development and demonstration effort by: (1) Establishment of a heliostat design, with associated manufacturing, assembly, installation and maintenance approaches, that, in quantity production will yield significant reductions in capital and operating costs over an assumed 30 year plant lifetime as compared with existing designs. (2) Identification of needs for near term and further research and development in heliostat concept, materials, manufacture, installation, maintenance, and other areas, where successful accomplishment and application would offer significant payoffs in the further reduction of the cost of electrical energy from Solar Central Receiver Power Plants. The Phase I study will define a low-cost heliostat preliminary design and the conceptual design of a heliostat manufacturing/installation plan which will result in low life cycle cost when produced and installed at high rate and large quantities for commercial Solar Central Receiver Power Plants. The study will develop the annualized life cycle cost and the performance of heliostats for a 30 year plant life, for each of three rates of continuous production and installation. The three specified rates are 25,000, 250,000, and 1,000,000 heliostats per year. The analysis of these …

Technical support for GEIS: radioactive waste isolation in geologic formations. Volume 22. Nuclear considerations for repository design

This volume, Y/OWI/TM-36/22, ''Nuclear Considerations for Repository Design,'' is one of a 23-volume series, ''Technical Support for GEIS: Radioactive Waste Isolation in Geologic Formations,'' Y/OWI/TM-36, which supplements the ''Contribution to Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement on Commercial Waste Management: Radioactive Waste Isolation in Geologic Formations,'' Y/OWI/TM-44. The series provides a more complete technical basis for the preconceptual designs, resource requirements, and environmental source terms associated with isolating commercial LWR wastes in underground repositories in salt, granite, shale and basalt. Wastes are considered from three fuel cycles: uranium and plutonium recycling, no recycling of spent fuel and uranium-only recycling. Included in this volume are baseline design considerations such as characteristics of canisters, drums, casks, overpacks, and shipping containers; maximum allowable and actual decay-heat levels; and canister radiation levels. Other topics include safeguard and protection considerations; occupational radiation exposure including ALARA programs; shielding of canisters, transporters and forklift trucks; monitoring considerations; mine water treatment; canister integrity; and criticality calculations.

Wastes are considered from three fuel cycles: uranium and plutonium recycling, no recycling of spent fuel and uranium-only recycling. This report contains an evaluation of the results of a literature survey to define the rock mass properties of a generic basalt, which could be considered as a geological medium for storing radioactive waste. The general formation and structure of basaltic rocks is described. This is followed by specific descriptions and rock property data for the Dresser Basalt, the Amchitka Island Basalt, the Nevada Test Site Basalt and the Columbia River Group Basalt. Engineering judgment has been used to derive the rock mass properties of a typical basalt from the relevant intact rock property data and the geological information pertaining to structural defects, such …
