Assessment of the potential of solar thermal small power systems in small utilities. Final report (open access)

Assessment of the potential of solar thermal small power systems in small utilities. Final report

This study involved an assessment of the potential economic benefit of small solar thermal electric power systems to small municipal and rural electric utilities. Five different solar thermal small power system configurations were considered in the study representing three different solar thermal technologies. The configurations included: (1) 1-MW, 2-MW, and 10-MW parabolic dish concentrators with a 15-kW heat engine mounted at the focal point of each dish. These systems utilized advanced battery energy storage. (2) A 10-MW system with variable slat concentrators and central steam Rankine energy conversion. This system utilized sensible thermal energy storage. (3) A 50-MW central receiver system consisting of a field of heliostats concentrating energy on a tower-mounted receiver and a central steam Rankine conversion system. This system also utilized sensible thermal storage. The approach used in determining the potential for solar thermal small power systems in the small utility market involved a comparison of the economics of power supply expansion plans for seven hypothetical small utilities through the year 2000 both with and without the solar thermal small power systems. Insolation typical of the Southwestern US was assumed. A comparison of the break-even capital costs with the range of plant costs estimated in this study …

Assessment of the risk of transporting gasoline by truck (open access)

Assessment of the risk of transporting gasoline by truck

Based on shipping assumptions and the current accident rate of 2.5 x 10/sup -6/ per mile, it is estimated that gasoline tank trucks will be involved in 1,781 accidents in 1980, and that 110 of the accidents (about one in 15) will result in a release of 3,000 gallons of gasoline or more from the tank truck. About one in four of the releases are expected to result in a large fire. The estimated number of fatalities from the gasoline releases in 1980 is 29, with 12 of these fatalities being drivers of gasoline tank trucks, and the other 17 being occupants of other vehicles involved in the accident. Fatalities of other members of the public were found to occur infrequently. An additional 26 persons are expected to be fatally injured from the accident forces, regardless of the hazardous nature of the cargo. These total fatality figures (55) were compared to the prediction of 43 deaths of the Bureau of Motor Carrier Safety.

Assessment of the risk of transporting spent nuclear fuel by truck (open access)

Assessment of the risk of transporting spent nuclear fuel by truck

The assessment includes the risks from release of spent fuel materials and radioactive cask cavity cooling water due to transportation accidents. The contribution to the risk of package misclosure and degradation during normal transport was also considered. The results of the risk assessment have been related to a time in the mid-1980's, when it is projected that nuclear plants with an electrical generating capacity of 100 GW will be operating in the U.S. For shipments from reactors to interim storage facilities, it is estimated that a truck carrying spent fuel will be involved in an accident that would not be severe enough to result in a release of spent fuel material about once in 1.1 years. It was estimated that an accident that could result in a small release of radioactive material (primarily contaminated cooling water) would occur once in about 40 years. The frequency of an accident resulting in one or more latent cancer fatalities from release of radioactive materials during a truck shipment of spent fuel to interim storage was estimated to be once in 41,000 years. No accidents were found that would result in acute fatalities from releases of radioactive material. The risk for spent fuel shipments …

Atomic absorption spectrometer readout and data reduction using the LSI-11 microcomputer (open access)

Atomic absorption spectrometer readout and data reduction using the LSI-11 microcomputer

Some common instruments found in the chemistry laboratory have analog chart recorder output as their primary data readout media. Data reduction from this medium is slow and relatively inaccurate. This paper describes how to interface a single LSI-11 microcomputer to PERKIN-ELMER models 603 and 303 Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometers.

Autoradiographic enhancement of polaroid film. Final report, 18 April--17 October 1978 (open access)

Autoradiographic enhancement of polaroid film. Final report, 18 April--17 October 1978

SRI International has investigated the application of radiotracer photographic image enhancement (PIE) techniques to increase the photographic speed of three Polaroid Films. SRI has a state-of-the art capability in the field of nondestructive photographic image enhancement of original negatives. These procedures have successfully increased optical density, contrast, and resolution of photographic imagery, and thereby increased the information derivable from original negatives.

Backward elastic K/sup -/p scattering below 1 GeV/c. Annual progress report, March 1, 1978--February 28, 1979. [Momentum dependence] (open access)

Backward elastic K/sup -/p scattering below 1 GeV/c. Annual progress report, March 1, 1978--February 28, 1979. [Momentum dependence]

A high precision measurement of the momentum dependence of backward K/sup -/p elastic scattering from 476 to 1077 MeV/c incident momentum was performed at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Altrnating Gradient Synchrotron. With the same apparatus the 0/sup 0/ production of pions in the reaction K/sup -/p ..-->.. ..sigma../sup -/..pi../sup +/ and K/sup +/p backward elastic scattering was also measured. Preliminary cross sections are presented for K/sup -/p backward elastic scattering and 0/sup 0/ ..sigma../sup -/..pi../sup +/ production.

Barrier Technology: Perimeter Barrier Penetration Tests (open access)

Barrier Technology: Perimeter Barrier Penetration Tests

Four perimeter barriers and their design, construction, costs, and delay effectiveness are discussed. The barriers, designed to prevent easy intrusion to a facility, are attacked by prepared personnel using simple to complex breaching and bridging aids. Penetration by a light vehicle is also attempted. Resultant penetration times confirm the difficulty in delaying intruders for long periods of time even when barbed tapes are used. The installation of a vehicle barrier complicates personnel penetration attempts and forces the adversary to carry breaching or bridging aids on foot. Bridging methods, although highly visible, allow intruders to quickly and easily cross most types of perimeter barriers and possibly electronic detection systems. Most arrays tested offer some penetration delay improvement over standard or enhanced security fences. 22 figures.
