Acoustic detection of the collapse of a sodium vapor bubble in an infinite sea of sodium (open access)

Acoustic detection of the collapse of a sodium vapor bubble in an infinite sea of sodium

A discussion of the problem of sodium vapor bubble collapse is presented. The physics of vapor collapse is presented in light of the work by Peppler et al. Theoretical estimates of the sound source level based on the work by Rayleigh and Judd are compared to an approximate pressure-volume work approach and recent experimental observations. Reactor ambient noise and transmission loss considerations are presented in regard to their impact on this detection problem. A methodology is proposed which considers the importance of the sound source level, ambient noise, transmission loss and a detection threshold and provides a means by which the feasibility of sodium vapor bubble collapse detection in an operating LMFBR may be assessed. The interrelationships between the detection threshold and the probability of detection and false alarm are discussed and applied to a standard acoustic square law detection system. This analysis clearly illustrates that the feasibility of such a detection system is strongly dependent on the knowledge of sound source levels, ambient noise levels and the transmission loss between the source and receiver. Furthermore, requirements of a high degree of probability of detection and a low probability of false alarm were found to require a high signal to …

Activation Measurements of High Energy Deuterons in the Plasma Focus Device (open access)

Activation Measurements of High Energy Deuterons in the Plasma Focus Device

Nuclear activation techniques were used to measure the fluence of high energy deuterons in a plasma focus device having a stored energy of 75 kilojoules at 18 kV. The $sup 12$C(d,n)$sup 13$N (330 keV threshold) and $sup 27$Al(d,p)$sup 28$Al reactions were used to provide both an absolute number of high energy deuterons and an average energy, evaluated from the $sup 13$N/$sup 28$Al ratio calculated for various energies by Young. Previous measurements indicated more than 10$sup 15$ deuterons could be accelerated to energies above 330 keV in the low pressure mode of operation, with a highly anisotropic distribution. Present measurements show that more than 10$sup 12$ deuterons achieve energies greater than 5 MeV on some high intensity shots in the low pressure mode. The presence of multi-MeV deuterons in the plasma focus device was substantiated by measuring activation as a function of depth in 1 mil Al foils, and by measurements of neutron energy using time-of-flight.

Adolf Hitler's Decision to Invade the Soviet Union (open access)

Adolf Hitler's Decision to Invade the Soviet Union

This study makes use not only of German documents captured during the Second World War but of personal accounts of major figures of the Third Reich and their testimony at the Nuremberg Trials. Organized into five chapters, this study surveys Nazi- Soviet relations from 1939 to 1941, from the German viewpoint, with emphasis on Adolf Hitler's assessment of Russian policies and Germany's wartime situation, both of which factors shaped his decision to invade the USSR. The conclusion is that Hitler saw his attack on the Soviet Union as a preventive war, carried out to destroy a growing threat to the Reich. He interpreted Russian activities during the period 1939-1941 as designed to strengthen the USSR strategically against Germany in preparation for intervention in the ongoing conflict with Britain.

An Analysis of Angus Wilson's "No Laughing Matter" (open access)

An Analysis of Angus Wilson's "No Laughing Matter"

This thesis examines Angus Wilson's novels with particular attention to No Laughing Matter, 1967. The introductory overview of Wilson's first five novels and the examination of No Laughing Matter show that all Wilson's novels are concerned with his protagonists' capacity for self-deception and the ways deception limits freedom of choice. In No Laughing Matter six protagonists try to balance self-deception and freedom both in their lives and in the art forms which interest them. The thesis traces the lives of these six as they fail both as artists and as people. Chapter III of the thesis studies the relationship of fantasy to character in the novel. In No Laughing Matter particularly, the characters reflect the loss of liberty when individuals do not exercise their freedom to choose.

Analysis of magnetic neutron scattering data (open access)

Analysis of magnetic neutron scattering data

The determination of the proper magnetic form factors for use in the analysis of diffuse-scattering data is discussed, and that information which is immediately available from such data is considered. Apparent discrepancies between the results of diffuse scattering and diffraction experiments on ferromagnetic Ni-Cu alloys are resolved. It is shown that the data indicate that the negative spin density usually attributed to conduction electrons instead arises largely from the overlap of localized wavefunctions, as was first suggested by Moon. 3 figures.

Analysis of targets with nonuniform composition as a function of depth: elastic and inelastic scattering (open access)

Analysis of targets with nonuniform composition as a function of depth: elastic and inelastic scattering

An analytical technique to reduce yield versus energy spectra to impurity concentration versus depth is described. It applies to both elastic and inelastic reactions and calculates the depth distribution profile directly from the observed data. It uses the experimental spectrum to be analyzed, stopping cross sections and reaction cross sections to obtain the desired depth scales and the depth dependence of the target composition. A computer code, NUCREA, has been developed to perform such analysis. A description of NUCREA, a user's guide, a complete listing and a typical output for the code are contained in the report. An example showing the analysis of experimental data is also presented.

Analysis of the binary cycle for geothermal power generation (open access)

Analysis of the binary cycle for geothermal power generation

Exchanging heat from hot geothermal fluid to a secondary working fluid which is then expanded through a turbine appears to be the best way of producing electrical power from a medium temperature geothermal resource. A study has been made to determine the conceptual design state points for a dual boiling system which utilizes isobutane as the working fluid. The results of this work and the sensitivity of plant performance to variations from nominal design points are presented. In addition, variations due to tolerances applied to thermodynamic properties and other key factors are included. (auth)

Angle of crack propagation for a vertical hydraulic fracture (open access)

Angle of crack propagation for a vertical hydraulic fracture

Using the strain-energy-density-factor (S) theory, the positive fracture angle +theta/sub o/ (the initial fracture angle of crack propagation) of a near-vertical crack is predicted by using the opening- and sliding-mode stress-intensity factors in the presence of the overburden pressure, the least in situ horizontal principal stress, and the borehole fluid pressure. The crack spreads in the positive theta/sub o/ direction (counter-clockwise) in the plane for which S is a minimum, S/sub min/. It was verified that S/sub min/ is greater than or equal to S/sub c/. The quantity S/sub c/ is defined as the critical value of S, and remains essentially constant. Of interest is the numerical example for calculating fracture angle and the critical uniform borehole fluid pressure required to initiate fracture at such an angle for the present LASL Dry Hot Rock Geothermal Energy Program.

Annual environmental monitoring summary, July 1974--June 1975

Monsanto Research Corporation operates Mound Laboratory, a government-owned facility of the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration, at Miamisburg, Ohio. Mound Laboratory is an integrated research, development, and production facility performing work in support of ERDA weapon and non-weapon programs with emphasis on explosive and nuclear technology. Mound Laboratory originated as a technical organization in 1943 when Monsanto Chemical Company was requested to accept responsibility for determining the chemical and metallurgical properties of polonium as a project of the Manhattan Engineering District. Work was carried on at Monsanto`s Central Research Department and several satellite units in the Dayton, Ohio area. Late in 1945, the Manhattan Engineering District determined that the research, development and production organization established by Monsanto at Dayton should become a permanent facility. A search for a suitable location in early 1946 led to the selection of a 180-acre tract adjacent to Miamisburg, about ten miles (16 km) south of Dayton.

Anomalous transport and stabilization of collisionless drift-wave instabilities (open access)

Anomalous transport and stabilization of collisionless drift-wave instabilities

Extensive numerical simulations have been carried out to study the enhanced transport processes associated with the collisionless drift wave instabilities. The results indicate that the shear is effective in reducing the anomalous particle diffusion as predicted by theory; however, it is less so for the accompanied electron heat transfer. The quasilinear decay of the density profile is found to be the dominant mechanism for the nonlinear saturation. (auth)
