Texas Register, Volume 1, Number 86, Pages 3117-3154, November 5, 1976

A weekly publication, the Texas Register serves as the journal of state agency rulemaking for Texas. Information published in the Texas Register includes proposed, adopted, withdrawn and emergency rule actions, notices of state agency review of agency rules, governor's appointments, attorney general opinions, and miscellaneous documents such as requests for proposals. After adoption, these rulemaking actions are codified into the Texas Administrative Code.

Comparing structural loads in large pools evaluated with the LUSH code and current design methods (open access)

Comparing structural loads in large pools evaluated with the LUSH code and current design methods

Large pools for storing spent fuel elements from nuclear reactors are being proposed to augment the present storage capacity of pools located at nuclear power plants and fuel reprocessing plants. These pools will be part of either independent spent fuel storage installations or large reprocessing plants. Because of the large size of the pools, seismic loads are of significant interest, and in particular the adequacy of current design methods for calculating seismic loads was of special concern. An evaluation of design methods representative of current practice was carried out, and the results are summarized. The evaluation was based on a comparison of total structural loads obtained by these methods with those obtained using the LUSH code. The LUSH code offered a combination of latest technologies in structural analysis involving soil-structure interaction.

Homogeneous catalytic hydrogenations of complex carbonaceous substrates. [16 references] (open access)

Homogeneous catalytic hydrogenations of complex carbonaceous substrates. [16 references]

Results of homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of complex unsaturated substrates including coal and coal-derived materials are reported, with organic soluble molecular complexes as catalysts. Among the substrates used were Hvab coal, solvent-refined coal, and COED pyrolysate. The hydrogenations were carried out in an autoclave. The results are summarized in tables.

Preliminary design calculations for a field-reversed mirror reactor (open access)

Preliminary design calculations for a field-reversed mirror reactor

The field-reversed-mirror (FRM) is a plasma-confinement scheme that uses the diamagnetic current of the deuterium-tritium (D-T) fuel plasma to convert the open-field pattern of a conventional mirror machine into a closed-field pattern that should have considerably improved plasma-confinement properties. If realized, this improvement in confinement will considerably improve the energy gain of the mirror reactor and will reduce the cost of producing energy. The FRM device is described and compared with earlier field-reversed configurations. The overall energy and particle-balance relations are given and used as bases for preliminary engineering design calculations of the major components of an FRM reactor. We find that the engineering design leads to simple structures (e.g., circular coils, cylindrical vacuum tanks) for which it is easy to make reasonably accurate cost estimates. A cost optimization has been performed; the optimum D-T reactor is found to have a fusion output of 23 MW/cell from a 5-cm radius, 15-cm long plasma in a field of roughly 10 T.
