1.5 megawatt dc chopper power supplies for plasma shape control on Doublet III (open access)

1.5 megawatt dc chopper power supplies for plasma shape control on Doublet III

The Doublet III device is designed to study noncircular plasmas, including doublet and dee-shaped cross-sections. The plasma shape is determined by a system of 24 field-shaping coils which surround the vacuum vessel. Control of the magnetic flux linking these coils allows the plasma shape to be varied and controlled. This paper describes the high-speed dc chopper which is a major component of the field-shaping coil power system. The high-speed dc choppers, with a frequency response of up to 5 kHz and a switching power capability of 1.5 megawatts are used for fine tuning and feedback control of the plasma position and shape. The design and operation of two 1.5 megawatt, 3 kHz choppers used on closed loop plasma control experiments will be presented.

2 meg-ampere prototype levitated coil for multipole fusion (open access)

2 meg-ampere prototype levitated coil for multipole fusion

The coils major diameter is 1.0 meter and it occupies a cross-section which is about 0.2 meter minor in diameter. The prototype coil will carry four times the current of the largest such magnet built to date. As a result, the peak induction in the coil is about 8 T and the stored magnetic energy will be around 3 MJ. The paper describes the proposed Nb/sub 3/SN superconductor, the quench protection system which is based on the LBL shorted secondary concept, the isochroic refrigeration storage system which stores about 5 kJ of refrigeration between 4.5/sup 0/K and 7/sup 0/K, and the persistent switch.

24-MW neutral-beam injector of 400-keV H/sup 0/ (open access)

24-MW neutral-beam injector of 400-keV H/sup 0/

The negative and positive ion systems have both common goals and common problems. In fact, we have identified five items that must be developed before any large, neutral-beam injector, operating continuously or almost so, can be engineered. The five items are: (1) a continuous or almost continuous ion source, with 1A designating a source of positive ions and 1B a direct extraction source of negatives, (2) a recirculating metal-vapor cell, (3) a computer code with which to calculate beam trajectories in three dimensions, (4) a resistive coating to bleed stray charges from the surface of high-voltage vacuum insulators, and (5) an arc suppression technique for large systems. These items are discussed and it is shown how their development is prerequisite to the design of a 24-MW, 400-keV neutral hydrogen injector such as might be required for a fusion power reactor.

1979 breeding bird censuses and summary of 1977-1979 results (open access)

1979 breeding bird censuses and summary of 1977-1979 results

As part of a program to characterize the plant and animal life of the Laboratory site and the surrounding region, the two breeding bird censuses originated in 1977 were continued in 1979. Twelve census trips were made to the BNL plot and 10 to the Westhampton plot by seven volunteer observers. Comparisons of data from the three years showed that the number of territorial males on the BNL plot did not change significantly, but the number of breeding species showed a continuous decline, from 18 to 10. Little change in the number of territorial males or in species composition occurred in the Westhampton plot.

Active-passive waveguide array for wave excitation in plasmas

A modified version of the standard waveguide grill for exciting lower hybrid plasma waves is proposed. This version should reduce both the number of RF drive components and the amplitude of the (undesirable) surface waves. Results from a simple 2-element array are presented.

Aerial gamma ray and magnetic survey: Raton Basin Project. The Raton and Santa Fe Quadrangles of New Mexico. Final report

In 1978, EG and G geoMetrics collected 4955 line miles of high sensitivity airborne radiometric and magnetic data in New Mexico within the Raton and Santa Fe quadrangles. These quadrangles represent part of the Raton Basin Project. All radiometric and magnetic data for the two quadrangles were fully reduced and interpreted by geoMetrics, and are presented as three volumes; one Volume I covering both quadrangles and separate Volume II's for the individual quadrangles. Over 50% of the survey area is covered by flat lying Mesozoic and Cenozoic deposits of the southern Great Plains Province. The western and southern portions of the area contain a combination of Precambrian and Paleozoic igneous and metamorphic rocks. These rocks occur primarily within and in close proximity to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and late Cenozoic volcanic deposits occur to the west of the mountains and in the Las Vegas Volcanic region. Uranium deposits are scattered throughout the region, but none are known to be economic at the time of this report.

Aerosol measurement techniques and accuracy in the CSTF. [LMFBR] (open access)

Aerosol measurement techniques and accuracy in the CSTF. [LMFBR]

The Containment Systems Test Facility (CSTF) provides the capability of performing large-scale aerosol behavior experiments at a scale factor of approximately 0.5 in height for a typical reactor containment building. The containment height is 20.3 m, the volume is 850 m/sup 3/, the design pressure is 5 bar, and quantities of sodium up to 1250 kg can be sprayed or spilled for sodium combustion product aerosol sources. Instrumentation is provided for characterization of the aerosol and the containment atmosphere. This paper describes the aerosol sampling techniques and instruments used in the CSTF and discusses their accuracy and reproducibility.

Aerosol sampling and characterization for hazard evaluation. Progress report, October 1, 1977-September 30, 1978. [/sup 239/Pu aerosol monitor performance in work area] (open access)

Aerosol sampling and characterization for hazard evaluation. Progress report, October 1, 1977-September 30, 1978. [/sup 239/Pu aerosol monitor performance in work area]

Measurements of the dilution of air contaminants between worker breathing zone and area air samplers were made by releasing a test fluorescent aerosol in workrooms equipped with aerosol surveillance systems. These data were used to evaluate performance and suggest improvements in design of alarming air monitor systems. In one workroom studied, average half-hour breathing zone air concentration needed to trigger alarm was found to be 960 times the maximum permissible air concentration for occupational exposure to soluble /sup 239/Pu (MPC/sub a/). It was shown that alternative monitor placement in this room could result in decreasing average triggering concentration to 354 times the MPC/sub a/. Analysis of data from impaction-autoradiographic sizing comparison studies showed average disintegration to track ratio called track efficiency factor, to be 2.7 +- 0.4.

Air quality impacts of a coal-fired power plant in the Upper Cook Inlet of Alaska (open access)

Air quality impacts of a coal-fired power plant in the Upper Cook Inlet of Alaska

Air quality impacts for a proposed 500-MWe power plant in the Upper Cook Inlet are analyzed using screening-level models as a means to study coal development in Alaska. Simulation cases were run that examined impacts of controls on sulfur dioxide emissions. Results indicated that the highest concentrations of sulfur dioxide occur for the uncontrolled case whereas lower plume rise causes maximum concentrations of nitrogen dioxide and total suspended particulates when sulfur dioxide emissions controls reduce plume rise. Plume interactions with terrain result in maximum plant impacts and indicate a sensitivity of results to plant location. Analysis of visibility degradation and sulfate formation indicated small plant impacts on the Cook Inlet. The generic plant simulated at Beluga would be in compliance with federal and state standards when sulfur dioxide emissions are controlled but would exceed prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) increments for sulfur dioxide if emissions are not controlled, which would indicate, when model conservatism is considered, a need for further studies if sulfur dioxide emissions were not controlled. Impacts for a plant significantly different from the generic plant in design and location would require additional study.
