Machine Calculations for the Analysis of the Plane Immobilized Plasma by Trajectories

Abstract: "The analysis of an immobilized plasma by trajectories for the Cartesian case has been adapted to machine calculation and the results of such calculations are described. Their most surprising features is the thinness of the transition layer between a vacuum and a uniform plasma, which is possible without assuming too extreme physical circumstances."

Th-228 contamination in irradiated thoria (open access)

Th-228 contamination in irradiated thoria

Reactor irradiation of naturally-occurring thorium-232 produces both uranium-233 and the undesirable isotopic contaminant, uranium-232. Uranium-232 decays (74 year half-life) to thorium-228, which in turn decays with a two year half-life to a string of comparatively short-lived daughters some of which emit very highly energetic beta and gamma radiations. It is generally desirable to accumulate a substantial inventory of irradiated thoria before diverting a plant such as Purex temporarily to chemical processing of the thoria. Especially during this waiting period significant amounts of thorium-228 can be formed from decay of uranium-232, thus causing isotopic contamination of the recovered thorium-232. The purpose of this report is to show how thorium-228 builds up in thoria which has been irradiated under several different conditions and then allowed to cool for a varying period of time. The results are shown in Figures 1 through 4. Derivation of the results is described in Appendix I.

Defining the role of risk assessment in the comprehensive environmental response compensation and liability act remedial investigation process at the DOE-OR (open access)

Defining the role of risk assessment in the comprehensive environmental response compensation and liability act remedial investigation process at the DOE-OR

Cleanup of hazardous waste sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) is a complicated and painstaking process, particularly at facilities with a multitude of individual hazardous waste sites, each having a multitude of chemicals and radonuclides. The US Department of Energy-Oak Ridge, Environmental Restoration Division (DOE-OR/ERD) administers five such facilities which are undergoing environmental cleanup under the CERCLA Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS) process or the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) investigation process. The nature of the wastes treated, stored, or disposed of at the US DOE-OR sites is heterogeneous and often unknown. The amount of environmental sampling, chemical analysis, and document preparation and review required to support a baseline risk assessment alone at each facility often requires years before arriving at a final Record of Decision. Therefore, there is clearly a need to streamline the investigative and decision processes in order to realize the US Environmental Protection Agency`s (EPA) goal of reducing contaminant levels to those that are protective human health and the environment in a timely and cost-effective manner.

Occupied and unoccupied orbitals of C{sub 60} and C{sub 70}

The full spectrum of occupied and unoccupied {sigma} and {pi} orbitals is presented for solid C{sub 60}, C{sub 70}, and graphite, using Cls emission and absorption spectroscopy. There are significant differences between C{sub 60} and C{sub 70}, and even larger changes relative to their infinite analog graphite C{sub {infinity}}. A comparison is made with photoemission and inverse photoemission results, along with first principles quasiparticle calculations.

A physical optics model for scattering by irregular terrain at HF (open access)

A physical optics model for scattering by irregular terrain at HF

Physical optics models were developed for scattering of HF radiation by irregular terrain when an antenna is located on or near the scattering surface. The primary interest was in skywave radiation patterns for communication links using the ionosphere. Second-order reflections were included in the solution through an image approximation, and the UTD result for an impedance half-plane was used to reduce reflections due to truncating the current distribution on the surface. Arbitrary 2-D or 3-D terrain profiles can be entered into the codes, and the source can be an antenna with currents generated by the NEC method of-moments code or a point source. Results are validated by comparing with 2-D integral equation solutions for actual terrain contours.

Real-time radiography of Titan IV Solid Rocket Motor Upgrade (SRMU) static firing test QM-2 (open access)

Real-time radiography of Titan IV Solid Rocket Motor Upgrade (SRMU) static firing test QM-2

Real-time radiography was successfully applied to the Titan-IV Solid Rocket Motor Upgrade (SRMU) static firing test QM-2 conducted February 22, 1993 at Phillips Laboratory, Edwards AFB, CA. The real-time video data obtained in this test gave the first incontrovertible evidence that the molten slag pool is low (less than 5 to 6 inches in depth referenced to the bottom of the aft dome cavity) before T + 55 seconds, builds fairly linearly from this point in time reaching a quasi-equilibrium depth of 16 to 17 inches at about T + 97 seconds, which is well below the top of the vectored nozzle, and maintains that level until T + 125 near the end motor burn. From T + 125 seconds to motor burn-out at T + 140 seconds the slag pool builds to a maximum depth of about 20 to 21 inches, still well below the top of the nozzle. The molten slag pool was observed to interact with motions of the vectored nozzle, and exhibit slosh and wave mode oscillations. A few slag ejection events were also observed.

Steady-state and transient modeling of tracer and nutrient distributions in the global ocean. Progress report, June 1, 1991--February 31, 1993 (open access)

Steady-state and transient modeling of tracer and nutrient distributions in the global ocean. Progress report, June 1, 1991--February 31, 1993

The balance of stable and decaying tracers was incorporated into a latitude-depth ocean circulation model which resolves the major ocean basin and is coupled to an atmospheric energy balance model. The modern distribution of radiocarbon and the analysis of artificial color tracers enabled the census of the deep water masses. We show that good agreement with the observation can be achieved if the surface forcing is modified. The same process could also account for long-term, large-scale changes of the global thermohaline circulation. Uptake rates of carbon are investigated using an inorganic carbon cycle model and performing 2 {times} CO{sub 2}-experiments. We prescribe the industrial evolution of pCO{sub 2} in the atmosphere from 1792 to 1988 and calculate the total flux of carbon into the world ocean. Results are in good agreement with two recent 3-dimensional model simulation. First results using an organic carbon cycle in this model are presented. Changes in the hydrological cycle can stabilize the thermohaline circulation in the Atlantic and enable simulation of climate events resembling the Younger Dryas. By adding the balance of radiocarbon the evolution of its atmospheric concentration is studied during rapid changes of deep ocean ventilation. A resumption of ventilation creates a rapid …
