Estimated D$sub 2$-DT-T$sub 2$ phase diagram in the three-phase region (open access)

Estimated D$sub 2$-DT-T$sub 2$ phase diagram in the three-phase region

A composite of experimental eH$sub 2$-D$sub 2$ phase-diagram data at the three-phase line is assembled from the literature. The phase diagram is a smooth cigar shape without a eutectic point, indicating complete miscibility of liquid and solid phases. Additional data are used to estimate the D$sub 2$-T$sub 2$, D$sub 2$-DT, and DT-T$sub 2$ binary phase diagrams. These are assembled into the ternary D$sub 2$-DT-T$sub 2$ phase diagram. A surface representing the chemical equilibrium of the three species is added to the phase diagram. At chemical equilibrium, it is estimated that 50-50 liquid D-T at 19.7 K is in equilibrium with 42 mole percent T vapor and 54 percent T solid. Infrared spectroscopy is suggested as a means of component analysis of liquid and solid mixtures. (auth)

Processing of radioactive waste solutions in a vacuum evaporator- crystallizer (open access)

Processing of radioactive waste solutions in a vacuum evaporator- crystallizer

Results of the first 18 months' operation of Hanford's vacuum evaporator- crystallizer are reported. This process reduces the volume of radioactive waste solutions and simultaneously converts the waste to a less mobile salt cake. The evaporator-crystallizer is operating at better than design production rates and has reduced the volume of radioactive wastes by more than 15 million gallons. A process description, plant performance data, mechanical difficulties, and future operating plans are discussed. Also discussed is a computer model of the evaporator-crystallizer process. (auth)

Analytic technique for router comparison (open access)

Analytic technique for router comparison

A model for printed circuit boards which can be used to predict the probability that a router will successfully make a connection is presented. The model reflects certain characteristics of the circuit board that is being routed and the model incrementally changes as the board is routed. Routing procedures typically have certain parameters which influence selection of the set of paths that are explored, and determine the order of exploration. These parameters obviously influence the probability that a particular connection can be made. These parameters may also be used to formulate a model of the behavior of a particular routing procedure.
