650 mm long liquid hydrogen target for use in a high intensity electron beam (open access)

650 mm long liquid hydrogen target for use in a high intensity electron beam

This paper describes a 650 mm long liquid hydrogen target constructed for use in the high intensity electron beam at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The main design problem was to construct a target that would permit the heat deposited by the electron beam to be removed rapidly without boiling the hydrogen so as to maintain constant target density for optimum data taking. Design requirements, construction details and operating experience are discussed.

Actinide Production in the Reaction of Heavy Ions withCurium-248 (open access)

Actinide Production in the Reaction of Heavy Ions withCurium-248

Chemical experiments were performed to examine the usefulness of heavy ion transfer reactions in producing new, neutron-rich actinide nuclides. A general quasi-elastic to deep-inelastic mechanism is proposed, and the utility of this method as opposed to other methods (e.g. complete fusion) is discussed. The relative merits of various techniques of actinide target synthesis are discussed. A description is given of a target system designed to remove the large amounts of heat generated by the passage of a heavy ion beam through matter, thereby maximizing the beam intensity which can be safely used in an experiment. Also described is a general separation scheme for the actinide elements from protactinium (Z = 91) to mendelevium (Z = 101), and fast specific procedures for plutonium, americium and berkelium. The cross sections for the production of several nuclides from the bombardment of {sup 248}Cm with {sup 18}O, {sup 86}Kr and {sup 136}Xe projectiles at several energies near and below the Coulomb barrier were determined. The results are compared with yields from {sup 48}Ca and {sup 238}U bombardments of {sup 248}Cm. Simple extrapolation of the product yields into unknown regions of charge and mass indicates that the use of heavy ion transfer reactions to produce …

Actinide-specific complexing agents: their structural and solution chemistry (open access)

Actinide-specific complexing agents: their structural and solution chemistry

The synthesis of a series of tetracatecholate ligands designed to be specific for Pu(IV) and other actinide(IV) ions has been achieved. Although these compounds are very effective as in vivo plutonium removal agents, potentiometric and voltammetric data indicate that at neutral pH full complexation of the Pu(IV) ion by all four catecholate groups does not occur. Spectroscopic results indicate that the tetracatecholates, 3,4,3-LICAMS and 3,4,3-LICAMC, complex Am(III). The Am(IV)/(III)-catecholate couple (where catecholate = 3,4,3-LICAMS or 3,4,3-LICAMC) is not observed, but may not be observable due to the large currents associated with ligand oxidation. However, within the potential range where ligand oxidation does not occur, these experiments indicate that the reduction potential of free Am(IV)/(III) is probably greater than or equal to + 2.6 V vs NHE or higher. Proof of the complexation of americium in the trivalent oxidation state by 3,4,3-LICAMS and 3,4,3-LICAMC elimates the possibility of tetracatholates stabilizing Am(IV) in vivo.

Aging test results of an asphalt membrane liner (open access)

Aging test results of an asphalt membrane liner

The objective of the asphalt aging study described in this report was to determine the expected performance lifetime of a catalytically airblown asphalt membrane as a seepage barrier for inactive uranium mill tailings. The study, conducted by Pacific Northwest Laboratory for the Department of Energy's Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Program, showed through chemical compatibility tests that the asphalt membrane is well suited for this purpose. The chemical compatibility tests were designed to accelerate the aging reactions in the asphalt and to determine the accelerated aging effect. Higher temperatures and oxygen concentrations proved to be effective acceleration parameters. By infrared spectral analysis, the asphalt was determined to have undergone 7 years of equivalent aging in a 3-month period when exposed to 40/sup 0/C and 1.7 atm oxygen pressure. However, the extent of aging was limited to a maximum penetration of 0.5% of the total liner thickness. It was concluded that the liner could be expected to be effective as a seepage barrier for at least 1000 years before the entire thickness of the liner would be degraded.

Allowable Residual-Contamination Levels for Decommissioning Facilities in the 100 Areas of the Hanford Site (open access)

Allowable Residual-Contamination Levels for Decommissioning Facilities in the 100 Areas of the Hanford Site

This report contains the results of a study sponsored by UNC Nuclear Industries to determine Allowable Residual Contamination Levels (ARCL) for five generic categories of facilities in the 100 Areas of the Hanford Site. The purpose of this study is to provide ARCL data useful to UNC engineers in conducting safety and cost comparisons for decommissioning alternatives. The ARCL results are based on a scenario/exposure-pathway analysis and compliance with an annual dose limit for three specific modes of future use of the land and facilities. These modes of use are restricted, controlled, and unrestricted. The information on ARCL values for restricted and controlled use provided by this report is intended to permit a full consideration of decommissioning alternatives. ARCL results are presented both for surface contamination remaining in facilities (in dpm/100 cm/sup 2/), and for unconfined surface and confined subsurface soil conditions (in pCi/g). Two confined soil conditions are considered: contamination at depths between 1 and 4 m, and contamination at depths greater than or equal to 5 m. A set of worksheets are presented in an appendix for modifying the ARCL values to accommodate changes in the radionuclide mixture or concentrations, to consider the impacts of radioactive decay, and …

These modes of use are restricted, controlled, and unrestricted. Information on restricted and controlled use is provided to permit a full consideration of decommissioning alternatives. Procedures are presented for modifying the ARCL values to accommodate changes in the radionuclide mixture or concentrations and to determine instrument responses for various mixtures of radionuclides. Finally, a comparison is made between existing decommissioning guidance and the ARCL values calculated for unrestricted release of the 115-F and 117-F facilities. The comparison shows a good agreement.

ArII - ArXVI produced in slow recoil collisions (open access)

ArII - ArXVI produced in slow recoil collisions

An atom in a gaseous target may be highly ionized in a single collision with a (very fast) very highly ionized projectile. A feature of the kinematics of the collision is that very little kinetic energy is imparted to the target atom. The ion is produced as a slow recoil. Typical recoil energies are 1 eV and change little with the degree of ionization produced in the target. This has several very attractive features as a spectroscopic source. First, the spectra are free from Doppler shifts which depend upon the degree of ionization of the atom, and, second, all of the ionization states produced in the target have the same spatial distribution. This allows reference lines from low ionization states to be reliably used to calibrate the spectra from high ionization states.

Assessment of factors affecting industrial electricity demand. Final report (revision version) (open access)

Assessment of factors affecting industrial electricity demand. Final report (revision version)

In Chapter 2, we identify those factors affecting the industrial product mix - taste, relative output prices, and relative input prices - and isolate several determinants which have not been adequately accounted for to date in industrial electricity demand forecasts. We discuss how the lower energy prices of foreign producers affect domestic producers and how the growth in the number of substitutes for intermediate products such as steel and aluminum with plastics and composites affects the composition of production and, hence, the demand for electricity. We also investigate how the changing age structure of the population brought on by the baby boom could change the mix of outputs produced by the industrial sector. In Chapter 3, we review the history of the 1970s with regard to changes in output mix and the manufacturing demand for electricity, and with regard to changes in the use of electricity vis-a-vis the other inputs in the production process. In Chapter 4, we generate forecasts using two models which control for efficiency changes, but in different ways. In this chapter we present the sensitivity of these projections using three sets of assumptions about product mix. The last chapter summarizes our results and draw from those …

B vs H curves for 1008 and 1020 steels (open access)

B vs H curves for 1008 and 1020 steels

For the purpose of investigating the saturation regions, we have measured the B vs H curves for the purchased 1008 and 1020 steels. In order to make a fair representation, the sample was chosen under the following conditions: (1) it was taken far away from the flame cutting region; (2) a hand saw was used to cut off the sample; and (3) finally the sample was machined into a toroidal shape of about 2'' OD, 1.75'' ID and 1/2'' height. We fabricated two samples of each type of steel in order to check the consistency of the measurements. For comparison, we plotted the curves on USS steel 1010 and 1020 respectively. The measured curves are similar to that of hot rolled types of steel.

Beam-beam interaction: luminosity, tails, and noise (open access)

Beam-beam interaction: luminosity, tails, and noise

Observations of the beam-beam interaction at SPEAR, CESR, PETRA and PEP are discussed. They are sufficiently similar that a simple prescription can be formulated to describe the behavior of the luminosity as a function of current including the peak values. With this prescription the interpretation of various methods of increasing the luminosity, such as the reduction of the vertical betatron function, the increase of the horizontal beam size, and mini- and micro- beta projects, is straight-forward. Predictions for future storage rings can also be made. Finally, some observations of the consequences of reducing the vertical betatron function to near the value of the bunch length are discussed.

Beam-blowup study for a weak-strong case (open access)

Beam-blowup study for a weak-strong case

A comparison is made of experimental results obtained on two SLAC storage rings PEP and SPEAR with the theoretical calculations and the dependence of the phenomenon on different machine parameters is studied. In the present paper we present such a comparison with reasonably good agreement between the experiment and the theory. The important conclusion from our study is that any valid theory of the beam-beam phenomenon should take into account the asymmetries of the machine parameters arising in any storage ring from all kinds of machine imperfections.
