A new glove-box system for a high-pressure tritium pump (open access)

A new glove-box system for a high-pressure tritium pump

A new glove-box system that was designed around a high-pressure tritium pump is described. The system incorporates new containment ideas such as ''burpler'' passive pressure controls, valves that can be turned from outside the box, inflatable door seals, ferro-fluidic motor-shaft seals, and rapid box-to-hood conversion during cryostaging. Currently under construction, the system will contain nine separate sections with automatic pressure-balancing and venting systems. 3 refs., 5 figs.

Tandem Mirror Reactor (open access)

Tandem Mirror Reactor

A reactor based on this concept that produces 1000 MWe consists of a solenoidal magnet about 50 to 100 m long. A cylindrical blanket is used for energy recovery and tritium breeding. Thus the reactor itself is simple and of low technology. The end plugs, however, are of high technology, having the high magnetic fields needed to confine the high-pressure plasma and the high injection energy (0.6 to 1.2 MeV) needed to achieve good magnetic confinement. A low technology, compact, economical hybrid fusion-fission reactor results from injection in the central cell as well as the ends, provided a means can be found to stabilize the end plugs against microinstabilities, particularly in small sizes (plug radius divided by ion gyroradius less than or equal to 10). The Q value is 1.8 and the power is 500 MWe, with 1000 kG of /sup 233/U produced per year. If, on the other hand, the tandem is operated in the two-component mode (i.e., cold tritium plasma electrostatically contained into which a 100-200 keV D/sup 0/ beam is injected), then the end plugs can be stabilized by the outward flowing tritium plasma. Finally, we show that D-D burning tandem reactors appear feasible in large sizes …

Effects of local mass anomalies in Eoetvoes-like experiments (open access)

Effects of local mass anomalies in Eoetvoes-like experiments

We consider in detail the effects of local mass anomalies in Eoetvoes-like experiments. It is shown that in the presence of an intermediate-range non-gravitational force, the dominant contributions to both the sign and magnitude of the Eoetvoes anomaly may come from nearby masses and not from the earth as a whole. This observation has important implications in the design and interpretation of future experiments, and in the formulation of unified theories incorporating new intermediate-range forces.

PWR Blowdown Heat Transfer Separate-Effects Program. Thermal-Hydraulic Test Facility experimental data report for test 167R (open access)

PWR Blowdown Heat Transfer Separate-Effects Program. Thermal-Hydraulic Test Facility experimental data report for test 167R

Reduced instrument responses are presented for Thermal-Hydraulic Test Facility (THTF) test 167R, which is part of the ORNL Pressurized-Water Reactor (PWR) Blowdown Heat Transfer Separate-Effects Program. The objective of the program is to investigate the thermal-hydraulic phenomenon governing the energy transfer and transport processes that occur during a loss-of-coolant accident in a PWR system. Test 167R was conducted to obtain thermal-hydraulic and CHF information in THTF bundle 1 with an intact cold leg. The primary purpose of this report is to make the reduced instrument responses during test 167R available. These are presented in graphical form in engineering units and have been analyzed only to the extent necessary to ensure reasonableness and consistency.

Charge exchange losses during cyclotron acceleration: experiment and theory (open access)

Charge exchange losses during cyclotron acceleration: experiment and theory

Quantitative estimates of charge exchange (CE) losses during acceleration are very important in the design and operation of heavy ion cyclotrons. Such estimates have been made using a vacuum model computer code which was developed to establish vacuum requirements for the MSU superconducting heavy ion cyclotron. This code uses pressure and cross-section data to calculate the radial loss of beam due to charge exchange. Since CE cross sections and radial pressure profiles are not always well known, certain specific measurements have been made using the LBL 88-Inch Cyclotron to provide experimental data needed to test the code. These include measurements of pressure versus radius under vacuum conditions closely approximating those existing during acceleration of /sup 14/N/sup 4 -/ and /sup 40/Ar/sup 8 -/ beams. Beam intensity versus radius data demonstrating transmission losses for three beams are presented. Comparisons with theoretical predictions are given.

Processes of community development and responses of ecosystems to climate change. Progress report, September 28, 1988--September 27, 1989 (open access)

Processes of community development and responses of ecosystems to climate change. Progress report, September 28, 1988--September 27, 1989

Our studies focus on attempting to understand the role of decomposer-primary producer linkages in successional dynamics. We are testing a series of hypotheses that relate changes in plant species composition during succession to changes in activity and structure of the soil microfloral and faunal community, dynamics of soil organic matter, and availability of soil nutrients. As these successional patterns are identified, they are being applied to understanding specific processes and mechanics involved in ecosystem development during recovery from moderate and severe disturbances. These findings are then being used in conjunction with simulation models to assess potential effects of climate change on ecosystems. Our research involves field studies in northwestern Colorado and southeastern Washington, laboratory studies, and simulation modeling. Ongoing projects include studies of response patterns of primary producer and soil microbial communities to nutrient additions (N, P, and sucrose), the function of mycorrhizal fungi in plant community development, and the dynamics of litter decomposition under semiarid conditions. New studies are being implemented to investigate the significance of nutrient transfers from VAM fungi to plants and plant-root exudate interactions, and to relate this to understanding their roles in succession.

Burnout program for high heat flux assemblies (open access)

Burnout program for high heat flux assemblies

The power of high flux fuel assemblies and three-tube drivers planned for future operations is limited by the burnout safety factor (BOSF). In the past, the power of standard production fuel assemblies was limited almost always by one of the hydraulic limits, and in most cases the assemblies operated at powers significantly below that permitted by the BOSF limit. The burnout conditions for an ``ideal`` fuel surface have been well established in mockups at SRL and Columbia University. Little experimental data are available on nonidealities (such as local hot spots), although calculated factors are applied to the BOSF to account for certain nonidealities. Because of operation at the BOSF limit, better knowledge is needed of the effects of nonidealities and other factors on heat transfer burnout of fuel surfaces. This memorandum presents a program designed to give a better understanding of BOSF.
