Shiva automatic alignment systems: a brief description (open access)

Shiva automatic alignment systems: a brief description

A diagram is given of the basic Shiva alignment system. The alignment requirements, as originally specified and as preseently estimated, together with the performance obtained to date from the prototype equipment are described. It is expected that this performance will be satisfactory for even the most alignment-sensitive targets and significantly better than is needed for experiments not requiring highly uniform illumination. The hardware arrangement planned for a typical Shiva chain is shown.

LOFT Steam Generator thermal analysis Class I review (open access)

LOFT Steam Generator thermal analysis Class I review

A Class 1 review of the thermal analysis of the LOFT Steam Generator and of the transient thermal analysis of LOFT steam generator thermal well was made to confirm compliance of the analyses with the LOFT Technical Specifications, with the LOFT integral test system - preliminary component design description for the steam generator, and with Appendix C of ANC Specification 60139. Included in this review is an examination of the thermal transients and conditions to insure adequate conservatism in analyzed conditions and transients to which the LOFT Steam Generator (including thermal well) might be exposed while in service at the LOFT reactor facility. Also, a review of the thermal code used was made to check for its applicability to these analyses.

High-temperature borate liquids: physical properties of glass-forming compositions (open access)

High-temperature borate liquids: physical properties of glass-forming compositions

Several experimental routes can be used to develop a better understanding of the polymeric constitution (polyanionic and/or polyhedral distribution) of borate, germanate, and silicate glasses. Spectral, chemical, physical-chemical, and mechanical property information can be determined directly for the glass compositions of interest. Generally, only physical-chemical information is readily accessible for the corresponding high temperature liquids. It will be shown that information on each state of matter has its own particular merits. Most of the evidence thus far published suggests an excellent agreement between polyhedral distributions in an oxide glass and its corresponding high temperature liquid state. There is no well known oxide glass forming system for which such a state of affairs does not exist. In spite of this, occasional efforts are put forth which ignore some of what is known for oxide liquids, glasses, and crystals. Such attempts therefore invariably imply, if only indirectly, that significant changes occur in the polyhedral distributions close to the glass transition temperature region. Specific examples to be discussed will include efforts that avoid well known coordination change equilibria such as BO/sub 3/ reversible BO/sub 4/ and GeO/sub 4/ reversible GeO/sub 6/.

Mechanical structure of the Mirror Hybrid Reactor Power Plant (open access)

Mechanical structure of the Mirror Hybrid Reactor Power Plant

The mechanical structure of the LLL/GA Mirror Hybrid Reactor vessel is briefly discussed. Functional requirements and over-all design considerations leading to selection of a post-tensioned concrete reactor vessel and a modular blanket approach are indicated. Module design life of four years, module replacement, capability and remote fueling are provided by the chosen structural design. (RME)

Waste management strategy for nuclear fusion power systems from a regulatory perspective (open access)

Waste management strategy for nuclear fusion power systems from a regulatory perspective

A waste management strategy for future nuclear fusion power systems is developed using existing regulatory methodology. The first step is the development of a reference fuel cycle. Next, the waste streams from such a facility are identified. Then a waste management system is defined to safely handle and dispose of these wastes. The future regulator must identify the decisions necessary to establish waste management performance criteria. The data base and methodologies necessary to make these decisions must then be developed. Safe management of nuclear fusion wastes is not only a technological challenge, but encompasses significant social, political, and ethical questions as well.

Mechanical design criteria for continuously operating neutral beams (open access)

Mechanical design criteria for continuously operating neutral beams

Mechanical design criteria for high-energy neutral beam injectors capable of prolonged operation are examined. The generalized structural, heat transfer, and hydraulics equations are presented for convectively cooled grids. The effectiveness of helium, liquid sodium, and subcooled water for cooling a 2-mm-diameter, 8-m-long grid tube is shown. Cooling effectiveness is determined as a function of the number of tubes in series vs heat flux, where the number of tubes in series ranges from 1 to 100 and the heat flux ranges from 100 to 10,000 W/cm/sup 2/. The stress analysis of the grid tube walls is presented, enabling data to be added to the heat transfer graphs and giving an upper flux limit for some grid materials. Sputtering is found to be a possible limiting factor for the grid lifetimes. In injectors designed for continuous use, long-term operation without excessive maintenance is required and sputtering must be minimized. To accomplish this, several procedures are proposed.

Data characterization and compression. [Discussion of Prony's method] (open access)

Data characterization and compression. [Discussion of Prony's method]

The extraction of information from measured or computed data is all-pervasive; to gain the most value from extracted information, it must often be transformed from one type of data into another, a process that can only preserve or lose information. An information-transformation process based upon Prony's method was found to be increasingly useful for application to electromagnetic-type problems in particular and a growing variety of physical problems in general. This procedure allows the coefficients and exponents (or parameters) of an exponential series to be derived from a sequence of its sampled values. Two basic issues are associated with Prony processing: determination of the status of the input data and application of the procedure as effectively as possible to maximize the information content of the output. The possible uses of the Prony method as an information on-transformation process are discussed; the insight gained from this viewpoint concerning the information content of data is emphasized. Waveform and spectrum characterization, data compression, and inversion of pattern data are considered briefly as applications. 8 figures, 3 tables. (RWR)

Fueling with neutral beams (open access)

Fueling with neutral beams

Neutral beams, which effectively heat and fuel mirror reactors, provide high-energy particles that readily cross magnetic fields to penetrate, heat, and fuel confined plasmas. The potential reliability, efficiency, and cost of large neutral-beam injectors make them desirable components of an operating mirror reactor. Because neutral beams are a poor source of low-energy particles, some other means of fueling large Tokamaks is needed.
