ION-1 technical manual
The portable gamma-ray and neutron detector electronics (ION-1) gives a digital readout of the current-mode response produced by gamma rays in an ion chamber and of amplification and scaling of pulses received from a neutron detector. The primary application is the measurement of gamma-ray and neutron activity of irradiated reactor fuels stored at a reactor or at a storage pond away from a reactor. ION-1 is the first such instrument to use a design that allows communication of procedures, response, and results between instrument and inspector. It prompts the inspector through procedures, carries out programmed measurement steps, calculates results and error estimates, and performs internal diagnostic checks. This Technical Manual describes adjustment procedures and limited technical information that enable the inspector to troubleshoot at the board level. 5 figs., 10 tabs.

Tonopah Test Range capabilities: technical manual
This manual describes Tonopah Test Range (TTR), defines its testing capabilities, and outlines the steps necessary to schedule tests on the Range. Operated by Sandia National Laboratories, TTR is a major test facility for DOE-funded weapon programs. The Range presents an integrated system for ballistic test vehicle tracking and data acquisition. Multiple radars, optical trackers, telemetry stations, a central computer complex, and combined landline/RF communications systems assure full Range coverage for any type of test. Range operations are conducted by a department within Sandia's Field Engineering Directorate. While the overall Range functions as a complete system, it is operationally divided into the Test Measurements, Instrumentation Development, and Range Operations divisions. The primary function of TTR is to support DOE weapons test activities. Management, however, encourages other Government agencies and their contractors to schedule tests on the Range which can make effective use of its capabilities. Information concerning Range use by organizations outside of DOE is presented. Range instrumentation and support facilities are described in detail. This equipment represents the current state-of-the-art and reflects a continuing commitment by TTR management to field the most effective tracking and data acquisition system available.

Technical bases and user's manual for the prototype of a Suppression Pool Aerosol Removal Code (SPARC)
This code was written to calculate the capture of aerosol particles in the pressure suppression pool (wet well) of a boiling water reactor under hypothetical accident conditions. The code incorporates five aerosol scrubbing models and two thermal-hydraulic models. The scrubbing models describe (1) steam condensation, (2) soluble particle growth in a humid atmosphere, (3) gravitational settling, (4) inertial deposition, (5) diffusional deposition. Mechanical entrainment of pool liquid by breaking of bubbles at the surface was also considered. An optional model for equilibrium pool temperature and a model for steam evaporation are the two thermal-hydraulic models used in the code. Steam evaporation was found to significantly retard deposition processes in pools near the boiling point. The code user supplies the values of several controlling variables in the code input. The SPARC output can include the decontamination factors (DF) of twenty different particle size groups, an overall DF for the whole particle distribution, particle log normal distribution parameters, and mass flow rates of particles (wet and dry) leaving the pool.

Uranium concentration monitor manual: 2300 system
This manual describes the design, operation, and procedures for measurement control for the automated uranium concentration monitor on the 2300 solvent extraction system at the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant. The nonintrusive monitor provides a near-real time readout of uranium concentration at two locations simultaneously in the solvent extraction system for process monitoring and control. Detectors installed at the top of the extraction column and at the bottom of the backwash column acquire spectra of gamma rays from the solvent extraction solutions in the columns. Pulse-height analysis of these spectra gives the concentration of uranium in the organic product of the extraction column and in the aqueous product of the solvent extraction system. The visual readouts of concentrations for process monitoring are updated every 2 min for both detection systems. Simultaneously, the concentration results are shipped to a remote computer that has been installed by Y-12 to demonstrate automatic control of the solvent extraction system based on input of near-real time process operation information. 8 refs., 13 figs., 4 tabs.

Ziptrack manual
A phenolic cart holding 3 mutually perpendicular search coils is moved through an luminum beam into the magnetic field. Coil voltages re integrated and digitized through a Data Translation 1712 ADC. The cart is controlled and the data is processed by an on-line PDP-11/05 computer. The results are displayed on a Tektronix 4010 terminal, stored on 9 track, 800 bpi tapes, and optionally recorded on a hard copy. Software on a floppy disk controls the system. The position of the cart is located by an encoder and is checked along the beam line by optical switches. One encoder count equals 0.01945 in.. The X and Y positions are changed by manipulators at each end of the beam. 625 horizontal or 500 vertical counts equal 1 in.. The desired field mapping can be automatically set up by programming a grid of encoder counts on the ''SHOW STATUS'' chart. A ziptrack command summary is given. Following that is a typical procedure for ziptrack operations. Also attached are time constants for the integrators and coil calibrations for 30 ft. and 100 ft. long cables.
