Modal photon densities (open access)

Modal photon densities

The short wavelength laser code XRASER uses line raidation fields whose dimensions are photons/mode. In this document, we discuss modal photon densities and provide formulas relating these units to units more familiar to the LLNL community.

X-ray diffraction study of reversible deformation mechanisms in the aged uranium-6. 5 niobium alloy (open access)

X-ray diffraction study of reversible deformation mechanisms in the aged uranium-6. 5 niobium alloy

The x-ray diffraction (XRD) data from 200/sup 0/C/2h-aged uranium-6.5 wt % niobium (U-6.5Nb) alloys, taken under stress as a function of strain, revealed a gamma-zero (..gamma../sup 0/)..-->.. alpha prime-prime (..cap alpha..'') thermoelastic martensitic phase transformation. It was concluded that the primary reversible deformation modes consisted of the movement of ..gamma../sup 0//..cap alpha..'' interphase interfaces and ..cap alpha..'' intervariant interfaces. Specimen elasticity at low strains was associated with the retreat of interphase interfaces. At higher strains, interphase interfaces did not recover significantly on unloading, and elasticity was due primarily to the retreat of ..cap alpha..'' intervariant interfaces.

Literature search for the non-aqueous separation of zinc from fuel rod cladding. [After dissolution in liquid metal] (open access)

Literature search for the non-aqueous separation of zinc from fuel rod cladding. [After dissolution in liquid metal]

This report reviews the literature of processes for the nonaqueous separation of zinc from dissolved fuel assembly cladding. The processes considered were distillation, pyrochemical processing, and electrorefining. The last two techniques were only qualitatively surveyed while the first, distillation, was surveyed in detail. A survey of available literature from 1908 through 1978 on the distillation of zinc was performed. The literature search indicated that a zinc recovery rate in excess of 95% is possible; however, technical problems exist because of the high temperatures required and the corrosive nature of liquid zinc. The report includes a bibliography of the surveyed literature and a computer simulation of vapor pressures in binary systems. 129 references.

Determination of somatic mutations in human erythrocytes by cytometry (open access)

Determination of somatic mutations in human erythrocytes by cytometry

Flow cytometric assays of human erythrocytes labeled with monoclonal antibodies specific for glycophorin A were used to enumerate variant cells that appear in peripheral blood as a result of somatic gene-loss mutations in erythrocyte precursor cells. The assay was performed on erythrocytes from 10 oncology patients who had received at least one treatment from radiation or mutagenic chemotherapy at least 3 weeks before being assayed. The patients were suffering from many different malignancies (e.g., breast, renal, bone, colon and lung), and were treated with several different mutagenic therapeutics (e.g., cisplatinum, adriamycin, daunomycin, or cyclophosphamide). The frequency of these variant cells is an indication of the amount of mutagenic damage accumulated in the individual's erythropoietic cell population. Comparing these results to HPRT clonogenic assays, we find similar baseline frequencies of somatic mutation as well as similar correlation with mutagenic exposures. 9 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.

CASIM predictions of Meson West Tevatron target soil activation (open access)

CASIM predictions of Meson West Tevatron target soil activation

A new Meson West Target has been proposed for Tevatron II. The dump design proposed by David Eartly is shown. A longitudinal side view of the dump and the shield for target produced muons is shown. The core of the dump is seen to be a copper plate surrounding the beam. The copper is surrounded by iron, which is in turn shielded by concrete. The tunnel is embedded in sand and gravel. The sand and gravel within 3' of the concrete is continuously drained by underdrains. Soil below the top of the underdrains is not considered to be protected. Activity produced in the unprotected soil below can be leached out, transported to the aquifer, and subsequently reach public water supplies. It is the activation of this unprotected soil which is of particular interest. Since the specific type of beryllium target to be used has not yet been decided, and since it would only reduce the resultant soil activation, I have chosen to ignore it and to presume that all the targetted intensity is lost on the dump. I have made CASIM calculations of the levels of soil activation to be expected using the proposed dump design. Since the activation of …

Hadron-hadron colliders (open access)

Hadron-hadron colliders

The objective is to investigate whether existing technology might be extrapolated to provide the conceptual framework for a major hadron-hadron collider facility for high energy physics experimentation for the remainder of this century. One contribution to this large effort is to formalize the methods and mathematical tools necessary. In this report, the main purpose is to introduce the student to basic design procedures. From these follow the fundamental characteristics of the facility: its performance capability, its size, and the nature and operating requirements on the accelerator components, and with this knowledge, we can determine the technology and resources needed to build the new facility.

Innovative Rates Program. Final report

Title II of the Energy Conservation and Production Act (ECPA) as amended by the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) provided financial assistance to state utility regulatory commissions, nonregulated electric utilities, and the Tennessee Valley Authority through the Innovative Rates Program. The financial assistance was to be used to plan or carry out electric utility regulatory rate reform initiatives relating to innovative rate structures that encourage conservation of energy, electric utility efficiency and reduced costs, and equitable rates to consumers. The Federal and local objectives of the project are described. Activities planned and accomplishments are summarized for the following: project management, data collection, utility bill evaluation, billing enclosure/mailing evaluation, media program evaluation, display evaluation, rate study sessions evaluation, speakers bureau evaluation, and individual customer contacts. A timetable/milestone chart and financial information are included. (MHR)

Nondestructive assay instrumentation for Savannah River Plant reprocessing accountability (open access)

Nondestructive assay instrumentation for Savannah River Plant reprocessing accountability

We have designed, developed, and calibrated three different types of nondestructive assay systems for the Savannah River Plant (SRP). These systems will be delivered to SRP in 1986 and become part of the nuclear material accounting instrumentation at one of SRP's reprocessing facilities. Among the various types of nondestructive assay systems to be implemented are a neutron counter (Los Alamos National Laboratory - LANL), a four-station calorimeter (Mound Laboratories), a waste solution assay system (LANL), two gamma-ray solution concentration assay systems (LLNL), two x-ray fluorescence analysis concentration assay systems (LLNL), and one 2-detector plutonium solids isotopics system (LLNL). Los Alamos also has the responsibility of combining the individual measurement systems into an integrated accountability capability. Each NDA instrument will report results to a central Instrument Control Computer (ICC). Figure 1 illustrates schematically the integrated system with each Laboratory's contribution shown by dotted lines.

A simple cantilevered mirror for focussing synchrotron radiation (open access)

A simple cantilevered mirror for focussing synchrotron radiation

A large cantilevered mirror was constructed to focus the vertical divergence from a synchrotron radiation source. The advantages of this mirror are its compactness, simple bending device, simplicity of construction, and good thermal contact to structures outside the vacuum. The central portion of the mirror is supported with variable loading springs to reduce gravitational sag. The figure and thermal stability of the mirror have proven to be excellent, though the focusing is limited by the roughness of the mirror-surface. This paper describes the design, construction, and performance of the mirror.
