Use of high current density superconducting coils in fusion devices (open access)

Use of high current density superconducting coils in fusion devices

Superconducting magnets will play an important role in fusion research in years to come. The magnets which are currently proposed for fusion research use the concept of cryostability to insure stable operation of the superconducting coils. This paper proposes the use of adiabatically stable high current density superconducting coils in some types of fusion devices. The advantages of this approach are much lower system cold mass, enhanced cryogenic safety, increased access to the plasma and lower cost. (MOW)

Use of reconnaissance level information for environmental assessment. [Information available from existing sources that satisfies information needs of siting and operational aspects of NPP] (open access)

Use of reconnaissance level information for environmental assessment. [Information available from existing sources that satisfies information needs of siting and operational aspects of NPP]

Reconnaissance level information (RLI) sufficient for comparing the environmental and socio-economic features of candidate sites for nuclear power stations and for guiding plant design, baseline surveys, and operational practices is usually available from published reports, public records, and knowledgeable individuals. Environmental concerns of special importance for site evaluation include: aquatic ecology, terrestrial ecology, land and water use, socio-economics, and institutional constraints. A scheme is suggested for using RLI to assign classifications to candidate sites based on the potential level of concern associated with the different environmental features.

Use of the Reference Energy System and EEMIS to analyze some cause-effect relationships (open access)

Use of the Reference Energy System and EEMIS to analyze some cause-effect relationships

The Energy Emergency Management Information System (EEMIS) and the Reference Energy System (RES) form an ideal framework for analyzing cause-effect relationships in the petroleum and natural gas energy systems. This report presents four case studies that demonstrate the applications of EEMIS and the RES for analyzing (1) the relationships between weather and the demand for energy in regions of the US, (2) the effect of a refinery outage on oil product distribution, (3) the impact of transportation outages on the flow and supply of petroleum, and (4) the relationship between income and energy usage.

Use of the STORM Model for Estimating the Quantity and Quality of Runoff from the Metropolitan Area of Houston, Texas (open access)

Use of the STORM Model for Estimating the Quantity and Quality of Runoff from the Metropolitan Area of Houston, Texas

From introduction: The purpose of this study, made in cooperation with the Texas Department of Water Resources, was to adapt an existing model to utilize available streamflow and water quality data to compute runoff from the Houston area and to compute the concentrations and loads of selected water-quality constituents contained in the inflow to Galveston Bay.

A users guide to Poisson (open access)

A users guide to Poisson

This writeup describes the POISSON program package in operation at SLAC. The program can be used to solve two-dimensional or cylindrical magnetostatic or electrostatic problems. The program uses an irregular triangular mesh of up to 6600 points in the finite difference approximation to Poisson's equation. Symmetry properties of a problem are taken advantage of so that usually, only part of a given problem has to be set up. For example: only a 45 degree segment of a symmetrical quadrupole is solved in order to obtain a complete solution. Successive over-relaxation (SOR) is used to find values of the vector potential at the mesh points from the boundary conditions and input currents. Non-linear regions (iron) are treated in a quasi-linear manner by holding the permeabilities constant during a relaxation cycle, computing local fields at the end of a cycle, performing a table lookup and under-correcting the permeability to keep the problem stable. 10 figs.

Vent rate of superconducting magnets during quench in the Mirror Fusion Test Facility (open access)

Vent rate of superconducting magnets during quench in the Mirror Fusion Test Facility

When a superconducting magnet goes normal, resistive heating in the conductor evaporates surrounding LHe, which must be vented. The nature and speed at which the magnet goes normal and He is vented are not subject to rigorous analysis. This paper presents vent data from an existing magnet. An approximate mathematical model is derived and fitted to the data to permit scaling of vent requirements to larger size magnets. The worst case models of the vent employed in Mirror Fusion Test Facility (MFTF) cryogenic system design are also presented.

Wave-Energy Density and Wave-Momentum Density of Each Species of a Collision-Less Plasma (open access)

Wave-Energy Density and Wave-Momentum Density of Each Species of a Collision-Less Plasma

Expressions for the wave-energy density and wave-momentum density of each species of a collisionless plasma are derived. The sum of the wave-energy (momentum) densities of all the species and the electromagnetic energy (momentum) density gives the previously known result for the total wave-energy (momentum) density of a dispersive medium.

Weatherization program: a study of progress (open access)

Weatherization program: a study of progress

Progress of the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) and other weatherization activities toward national energy conservation goals is reported. Low-income people are among the first to feel the pinch of rising fuel prices, particularly for home heating fuel. WAP installs insulation, storm windows and doors, and other energy efficiency improvements to reduce heat loss in the homes of low-income people, especially with the elderly and the handicapped. The weatherization activities of Federal agencies are described. The study addresses the question of the adequacy and cost of the materials used in weatherization. The series of policy and regulation change questions introduced in the agency-specific section is discussed from a broader perspective. The conclusions are summarized. The appendices present a legislative history of the Program, discuss the operational level of the Program, and describe a cost-benefit analysis of the Program.

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies of oxygen and carbon bonding to tokamak walls (open access)

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies of oxygen and carbon bonding to tokamak walls

The binding energies of surface atoms of stainless steel samples exposed to hydrogen plasma discharges in PDX are measured using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. After glow discharge conditioning the O/sub 1s/ line is completely shifted to a higher binding energy which is an indication of the formation of hydroxides. The Fe/sub 2p/ lines show a partial reduction of iron. After high power discharges, the oxygen concentration increases and the binding energy of the deposited O atoms corresponds to a metallic oxide. The deposited limiter material Ti is also completely oxidized. For both kinds of discharges the binding energies of Cr/sub 2p/ and C/sub 1s/ remain essentially unmodified.
