The perils of untested assumptions in theory testing: A reply to Patrick et al. (2020) (open access)

The perils of untested assumptions in theory testing: A reply to Patrick et al. (2020)

This article is a comment responding to a critique by Patrick et. al (2020) of the authors' recent study that raised questions regarding the three-factor model of the Triarchic Psychopathy Measure (TriPM). The reply demonstrates additional problems with the three-factor TriPM model and shows that the seven-factor model out-performs the three-factor model in predicting correlates of psychopathy.

Raft River 5-MW(e) geothermal pilot plant (open access)

Raft River 5-MW(e) geothermal pilot plant

A 5-MW(e) binary cycle pilot plant which is being built in the Raft River valley in Idaho will employ a dual boiling power cycle using isobutane as the working fluid. It is designed to take maximum advantage of the low average seasonal temperatures and will contain sufficient instrumentation and data acquisition equipment to obtain accurate performance data. In addition, some of the large heat exchangers will contain special instrumentation to obtain details of their performance. Design was completed on this facility in January 1978, construction started in August 1978, and plant startup and operation are scheduled for October 1980. A detailed description of the 5-MW(e) facility is provided. (MHR)

Expansion cooled CO nuclear pumped laser

A series of experiments are proposed to investigate the performance of a fission fragment excited CO laser which utilizes gas dynamic cooling. These experiments will utilize a wall source of fission fragments to provide excitation of CO or CO gas mixtures. A separate investigation will study the effects on the vibrational excitation distribution of CO or CO on gas mixtures with the addition of UF/sub 6/.

Beam rotation and shear in a large electron beam diode (open access)

Beam rotation and shear in a large electron beam diode

The time averaged electron beam current distribution of one of the electron guns of the Large Aperture Module (LAM) of the Aurora laser was measured as part of a larger set of experiments designed to study the electron beam transport to and energy deposition in the LAM laser chamber. The LAM laser chamber has a 1-m {times} 1-m aperture and is pumped from two sides along a 2-m length. A 10 ga. stainless steel sheet was placed inside the laser chamber and served multiple purposes. First, it was used to convert high energy electrons into X-rays in order to make radiograms of the electron beam. Second, the sheet was used as a Faraday cup to measure the total beam current. Third, individual Faraday cups were mounted on the plate to sample the time history of the electron beam at various positions. Each of the LAM electron gun diodes produces a beam of 750 kV electrons with a total current of about 500 kA which is relatively uniform over the cathode area of 1 m {times} 2 m. An applied magnetic field of about 1300 Gauss is used to prevent pinch of the beam during beam transport.

LASL program in nuclear pumped liquid lasers (open access)

LASL program in nuclear pumped liquid lasers

Lasers based on the lanthanide rare earths in solution show potential for production of efficient, very high energy nuclear pumped laser output. Four of the rare earth ions which appear to be highly suited for nuclear pumped lasers are Eu/sup + + +/, Tb/sup + + +/, Nd/sup + + +/, and Pm/sup + + +/. In general, these systems must be excited by external flashlamps, however, one of the results of research on optical pumping of liquid lanthanide lasers is that in some cases the addition of uranyl ions (UO/sub 2//sup + + +/) can increase the pumping efficiency. Sixty fold enhancement of the output has been observed with a mixture of UO/sub 2//sup + + +/ and Nd/sup + + +/ at 1.06 microns. Direct nuclear excitation by fission fragments in large volumes of liquids, potentially self-critical reactors, appears to be quite feasible. A brief review of the history of liquid based lanthanide ion lasers is given and future research planned at LASL is discussed.

Production of minor actinides in the commercial fuel cycle (open access)

Production of minor actinides in the commercial fuel cycle

The minor actinides are an inevitable by-product of the production of electricity with thermal reactors. This paper will review the mechanisms of production of the principal minor actinides ({sup 237}Np, {sup 241}Am, and {sup 243}Am) and their expected concentrations in spent fuel from commercial power reactors as well as in Pu produced from reprocessing these types of spent fuels. All the results shown are derived from calculations done using the ORIGEN2 reactor code.

Deployment Options for A Spent Fuel Treatment Facility in the United States (open access)

Deployment Options for A Spent Fuel Treatment Facility in the United States

A promising alternative to direct disposal is to process the commercial spent nuclear fuel into key partitions permitting recovery of some of the energy value while providing vital flexibility to the operation of a repository in a manner to minimize and possibly defer the near-term need for future repositories. It is assumed that such a Spent Fuel Treatment Facility (SFTF) will provide significant benefit to the US nuclear waste program and this paper focuses on key options for deployment of such a facility. The SFTF would partition the spent fuel into manageable components that could be recovered, recycled, or dispositioned as economically beneficial to the overall fuel cycle and/or enhances the repository performance. The goal of the SFTF is to reduce the high level waste volume going to a repository, provide for more effective heat management, enhance the containment performance of the specific waste forms, and provide for energy recovery or transmutation as practical.
