Estimates of radionuclide release from glass waste forms in a tuff repository and the effects on regulatory compliance (open access)

Estimates of radionuclide release from glass waste forms in a tuff repository and the effects on regulatory compliance

This paper discusses preliminary estimates of the release of radionuclides from waste packages containing glass-based waste forms under the expected conditions at Yucca Mountain. These estimates can be used to evaluate the contribution of waste package performance toward meeting repository regulatory restrictions on radionuclide release. Glass waste will be held in double stainless steel canisters. After failure of the container sometime after the 300 to 1000 year containment period, the open headspace in these cans will provide the only area where standing water can accumulate and react with the glass. A maximum release rate of 0.177 g/m{sup 2} x year or 1.3 grams per year was obtained. Normalized loss of 1.3 grams per year corresponds to 0.08 parts in 100,000 per year of the 1660 kg reference weight of DWPF glass.

Operational experience with SLAC energy upgrade (open access)

Operational experience with SLAC energy upgrade

To produce energies of over 50 GeV for SLC, all klystron stations on the accelerator are being upgraded to produce 250 MeV energy contribution per station. This involves installing new, higher power, longer pulse klystrons, upgrading klystron modulators to provide these higher voltage, longer klystron beam pulses, and a new interlock and protection system. A new VAX based diagnostic system including automated microwave measurements, klystron beam monitors, and modulator performance checks is being implemented. Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the klystron-modulator system. To date, over half of the new klystrons have been installed and tested, the modulator upgrade program has converted 22 sectors (8 stations each) of modulators out of 30, and a four sector sampling of klystrons has been run at full SLC specs, namely 350 kV beam voltage, 3.5 microsecond pulse duration, peak output power in excess of 60 MW, and PRF of 120 pps. This paper discusses the klystron design, modulator design, interlock and diagnostic systems, and the results of the initial operation.

Investigation of the Strength of H440 Graphite When Subjected to Combined Primary and Secondary Stress (open access)

Investigation of the Strength of H440 Graphite When Subjected to Combined Primary and Secondary Stress

An experimental and analytical investigation of the strength of a fine-grained graphite, H440, under combined mechanical and thermal stress is described. Small sample laboratory tests were carried out to establish a mechanical property data base from which statistical parameters could be determined and then used in finite element codes for predicting failure probabilities of large graphite structural components under load. The theory was applied to graphite rings under an imposed thermal stress from a heat flux applied to the inner surface of the rings and under mechhanical stress caused by diametrically opposed concentrated loads applied to the outer surface of the rings. Rings of H440 graphite were fabricated in two sizes and tested to the combined thermal and mechanical loadings. From the results of theory and the experiments, a design rule for combining mechanical and thermal stress in graphite structural components is proposed.

The LASS (Larger Aperture Superconducting Solenoid) spectrometer (open access)

The LASS (Larger Aperture Superconducting Solenoid) spectrometer

LASS is the acronym for the Large Aperture Superconducting Solenoid spectrometer which is located in an rf-separated hadron beam at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. This spectrometer was constructed in order to perform high statistics studies of multiparticle final states produced in hadron reactions. Such reactions are frequently characterized by events having complicated topologies and/or relatively high particle multiplicity. Their detailed study requires a spectrometer which can provide good resolution in momentum and position over almost the entire solid angle subtended by the production point. In addition, good final state particle identification must be available so that separation of the many kinematically-overlapping final states can be achieved. Precise analyses of the individual reaction channels require high statistics, so that the spectrometer must be capable of high data-taking rates in order that such samples can be acquired in a reasonable running time. Finally, the spectrometer must be complemented by a sophisticated off-line analysis package which efficiently finds tracks, recognizes and fits event topologies and correctly associates the available particle identification information. This, together with complicated programs which perform specific analysis tasks such as partial wave analysis, requires a great deal of software effort allied to a very large computing capacity.

Gauginos from p anti p collisions (open access)

Gauginos from p anti p collisions

We investigate signals for winos and zinos when the decays W ..-->.. wino + photino, Z ..-->.. wino + antiwino, and W ..-->.. wino + zino are allowed at proton-antiproton colliders. These processes lead to: (1) monojet and dijet plus missing transverse momentum (p/sub T/) events; (2) various di- and tri-lepton events with little accompanying hadronic activity; and (3) events containing jets plus leptons plus p/sub T/. Absence of such signals may allow new limits to be placed on m/sub wino/ and m/sub zino/ of at least m/sub wino/ + m/sub zino/ greater than or equal to m/sub W/, from CERN collider data. 11 refs., 4 figs.

Radiation damage effects in channeling applications (open access)

Radiation damage effects in channeling applications

Use of a bent single crystal to split off a small fraction of an incident high energy (400 to 800 GeV) particle beam has been demonstrated. The question which remains to be answered is: Will radiation damage effects deteriorate crystal performance in too short a time for practical application. Single Si crystals exposed to 10/sup 17/ high energy protons per cm/sup 2/ have been examined previously using low energy (1.5 to 3.0 MeV) helium ion backscattering. The amount of radiation damage indicated by this low penetration technique was very small. This paper reports verification that such an exposed crystal still channels high energy particles. Furthermore, results using helium ion backscattering following an irradiation to 10/sup 18//cm/sup 2/ predict no deterioration in channeling performance.

Handbook for quick cost estimates. A method for developing quick approximate estimates of costs for generic actions for nuclear power plants (open access)

Handbook for quick cost estimates. A method for developing quick approximate estimates of costs for generic actions for nuclear power plants

This document is a supplement to a ''Handbook for Cost Estimating'' (NUREG/CR-3971) and provides specific guidance for developing ''quick'' approximate estimates of the cost of implementing generic regulatory requirements for nuclear power plants. A method is presented for relating the known construction costs for new nuclear power plants (as contained in the Energy Economic Data Base) to the cost of performing similar work, on a back-fit basis, at existing plants. Cost factors are presented to account for variations in such important cost areas as construction labor productivity, engineering and quality assurance, replacement energy, reworking of existing features, and regional variations in the cost of materials and labor. Other cost categories addressed in this handbook include those for changes in plant operating personnel and plant documents, licensee costs, NRC costs, and costs for other government agencies. Data sheets, worksheets, and appropriate cost algorithms are included to guide the user through preparation of rough estimates. A sample estimate is prepared using the method and the estimating tools provided.

High resolution n = 3 to n = 2 spectra of neon-like silver (open access)

High resolution n = 3 to n = 2 spectra of neon-like silver

Spectra of the n = 3 to n = 2 transitions in neon-like silver emitted from the Princeton Large Torus have been recorded with a high-resolution Bragg-crystal spectrometer. The measurements cover the wavelength region 3.3 to 4.1 A and include the forbidden 3p ..-->.. 2p electric quadrupole lines. Transitions in the adjacent sodium-like, and aluminum-like charge states of silver have also been observed and identified. The Ly-..cap alpha.. spectra of hydrogen-like argon and iron, the K..cap alpha.. spectra of helium-like argon, potassium, manganese, and iron, and the K..beta.. spectrum of helium-like argon fall in the same wavelength region in first or second order and have been measured concurrently. These spectra provide a coherent set of wavelength reference data obtained with the same spectrometer and from the same tokamak. This set is used as a basis to compare wavelength predictions for one- and two-electron systems to each other and to determine the transition energies of the silver lines with great accuracy.
