Batch system with rapid overlay capabilities (open access)

Batch system with rapid overlay capabilities

A batch supervisor for a minicomputer has been written which provides rapid sequencinig between jobs. The supervisor can handle a small number of system programs, and also allows each system program to have a large number of overlays. Overlays are read into core rapidly, and the sequencing of overlays and job steps is very flexible. Finally, the supervisor is small, leaving most of the minicomputer's core storage to the system programs. (auth)

Color Center Phenomena in Sodium Chloride. Special Report No. 12 (open access)

Color Center Phenomena in Sodium Chloride. Special Report No. 12

Thesis. Absorption spectra of M centers in x-ray-colored Harshaw NaCl crystals were measured at several temperatures between 66 and 274 deg K using a Cary 14 PMR Spectrophotometer. Also measured in NaCl were the absorptions of M/ sup +/ and R/sup +/ centers at 80 deg K. Additively colored crystals were found to be unsuitable for studies of the absorptions of F-aggregate centers because of low concentrations of F centers and persisting colloid absorptions. In order to examine M bands free of overlapping absorptions of F centers, an M-band anisotropy was produced by exciting M centers with appropriately polarized light. Irradiation at 0 deg C with STA011! polarized M/sub 1/-band light resulted in both reorientation and annihilation of M centers while irradiation at 80 deg K with STA011! polarized 405 nm light resulted only in reorientation yielding a much larger anisotropy than produced at 0 deg C. Results are presented and discussed. (JRD)

Considerations in siting long-term radioactive noble gas storage facilities (open access)

Considerations in siting long-term radioactive noble gas storage facilities

Cost-benefit analysis indicates that it would be prudent policy to require the prevention of /sup 85/Kr release from fuel reprocessing plants at the present time, assuming this can be accomplished at a cost amounting to less than 00/Ci. Options are discussed for accomplishment of /sup 85/Kr release prevention from fuel reprocessing plants. No value judgments have been attempted in evaluating these options. However, it has been assumed that a policy of concentrating effluent noble gases, retaining them in pressurized storage tanks, and storing them for long periods at some centralized facility will be adopted. Such a policy would appear to be consistent with current AEC policy on high-level waste management. Criteria for siting a long-term noble gas storage facility should include assurance that in the event of a containment failure: (a) maximum permissible dose guidelines (0.5 rem/yr for whole body and 3.0 rem/yr for skin) are not exceeded, and (b) resultant population doses (man-rem) are minimized. Five hypothetical sites have been evaluated to estimate population doses in the event of leakage. From this analysis it appears that geographic siting may be considered relatively unimportant. Site selection should be based on cost- benefit studies considering: (a) transportation and handling costs, (b) …

Data sheets for PPO radioisotopic fuel (open access)

Data sheets for PPO radioisotopic fuel

PPO is the acronym for Pure Plutoniunn Oxide. The thermal energy of this fuel results from the radioactive decay of /sup 238/ Pu this energy is converted into usable electric power for space probe or other applications. The basic fuel module associated with the current MHW heat source is a PPO sphere 1.465 plus or minus 0.015 in. in dia and containing 100 plus or minus 2 thermal watts. The spheres are individually encapsulated and then assembled into geometric arrays to form the working heat source. The following document lists certain properties of PuO/sub 2/ with emphasis on behavior at the proposed operational conditions being discussed. Since many of the desired properties are still being determined, the information is preliminary in nature and will be revised periodically. This report is the first revision of LA-5160-MS (issued 2/ 73) and incorporates additional and more specific data. (auth)

Design studies of mirror machine reactors (open access)

Design studies of mirror machine reactors

An overview is presented of a mirror fusion reactor design study. The general methodology used in the study is discussed, the reactor is described, and some design alternatives to the present approach are enumerated. The system chosen for this design study is a mirror machine with direct conversion using D- T fuel. The nominal power output is 200 MW. The coil geometry is the Yin Yang, minimum B with a vacuum mirror ratio of 3. The coil is of particular utility because of its simple conductor shapes and because the two separate conductors, by proper B-field biasing, allow the charged particles to escape preferentially through one mirror only and through a relatively small window'' of that mirror. This is necessary for direct converter economy. (auth)

Development of high-specific-energy batteries for electric vehicles. Progress report, February 1973--July 1973 (open access)

Development of high-specific-energy batteries for electric vehicles. Progress report, February 1973--July 1973

A high-specific-energy lithium/sulfur battery having the performance characteristics required for powering pollutionfree automobiles is described. The cells currently under development have negative electrodes of molten lithium and positive electrodes of sulfur (plus an additive to reduce the sulfur vapor pressure) separated by a molten lithium halide-containing electrolyte. The operating temperature of the cells is about 400 deg C. The performance goals for a single cell include a capacity density of 0.4 A-hr/cm/sup 2/ at a current density of 0.1 A/cm/sup 2/, a peak power density of 1-2 W/cm/sup 2/, and a minimum cycle life of 1000 cycles. Cells with positive electrodes consisting of sulfurarsenic-carbon mixtures in graphite housings have achieved short-time peak power densities and capacity densities that meet or exceed the goals for a single cell. A capacity density of 0.1 A-hr/cm/sup 2/ has been sustained at a discharge current density of 0.1 A/cm/sup 2/l (1-V cutoff) for more than 500 hr and 100 cycles. Improvement in cell design is needed, however, to achieve higher sulfur utilization and longer cell lifetimes. (auth)

EXREM III computer code for estimating external radiation doses to populations from environmental releases (open access)

EXREM III computer code for estimating external radiation doses to populations from environmental releases

EXREM III is a computer code to estimate the dose equivalent rate and the total dose equivalent from beta, positron, electron, and gamma radintion resulting from submersion in contaminated water, submersion in contaminated air, and exposure to a contaminated surface. There can be more than one environmental release, and exposure can begin at any time after the first release. EXREM III considers contributions from environmental releases and from nuclide decay chains. For a particular problem the user may choose to calculate either the dose rates, or the total doses, or both for any of the three modes of exposure. A separate solution array is printed for each mode of exposure. EXREM III is a revised version of EXREM II which was available earlier. The principal revisions include treatment of positron and electron radiations, selection of nuclear data from a data base, variable dimensioning of large data arrays, and free field input. (auth)
