Congress and the Reversion of Okinawa (open access)

Congress and the Reversion of Okinawa

This report discusses the agreement between President Nixon and Prime Minister Sato of Japan for control of the Ryukyu Island chain (of which Okinawa is the chief island) to revert to Japan in 1972. Congressional actions related to the agreement and the issue of Congressional approval for executive actions which alter existing treaties are discussed.

Sampling and characterization of sodium-water reaction products (open access)

Sampling and characterization of sodium-water reaction products

Sodium-water reaction products (SWRP) which had accumulated in the bottom of the reaction products tank (RPT) of the Large Leak Test Rig (LLTR) were sampled and characterized. Analysis showed that the SWRP consisted of NaOH, Na/sub 2/O, NaH, and Na, as expected, in varying proportions. The unreacted sodium in the samples examined ranged from 32 to 60% by weight. The SWRP reacts (dissolves) rapidly and completely with ethanol, and somewhat less rapidly and completely with Dowanol PM. A magnetic, metallic residue was left, originating in the Croloy of the test article in the LLTR. These solvents should be investigated further as possible agents for cleaning sodium systems that are highly contaminated with water reaction products. The SWRP does not completely liquefy with heating to 800/sup 0/F (427/sup 0/C). Although it softens to a consistency similar to that of wet sand, it is unlikely that it would flow or could be pumped even at such elevated temperature. The presence of highly corrosive molten NaOH. (above 606/sup 0/F, 319/sup 0/C) also makes the hot draining of SWRP unattractive.

Safety Analysis (SA) of the Hazardous Waste Disposal Facilities (Buildings 514, 612, and 614) at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (open access)

Safety Analysis (SA) of the Hazardous Waste Disposal Facilities (Buildings 514, 612, and 614) at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory

This safety analysis was performed for the Manager of Plant Operations at LLL and fulfills the requirements of DOE Order 5481.1. The analysis was based on field inspections, document review, computer calculations, and extensive input from Waste Management personnel. It was concluded that the quantities of materials handled do not pose undue risks on- or off-site, even in postulated severe accidents. Risks from the various hazards at these facilities vary from low to moderate as specified in DOE Order 5481.1. Recommendations are made for additional management and technical support of waste disposal operations.

Energy calibration scheme for acoustic emission (open access)

Energy calibration scheme for acoustic emission

The calibration technique described is an attempt to determine the actual energy release from the events causing emission bursts in beryllium and to quantitatively evaluate the effects of specimen geometry on the apparent energy per burst. (GHT)

Conceptual design study on incorporating a 25-ton/day pyrolysis unit into an operating total energy system. Final report (open access)

Conceptual design study on incorporating a 25-ton/day pyrolysis unit into an operating total energy system. Final report

The results of a conceptual design study on incorporating a pyrolysis unit into an existing total energy plant are presented. The objectives of this study were to examine the institutional, technical and economic factors affecting the incorporation of a 25-ton/day pyrolysis unit into the Indian Creek Total Energy Plant. The Indian Creek total energy plant is described. Results of the conceptual design are presented. A survey of the availability of waste materials and a review of health and safety ordinances are included. The technical aspects of the pyrolysis system are discussed, including the results of the review of facilities requirements for the pyrolysis unit, the analysis of necessary system modification, and an estimate of the useful energy contribution by the pyrolysis unit. Results of the life-cycle cost analysis of the pyrolysis unit are presented. The major conclusions are that: there appears to be no institutional or technical barriers to constructing a waste pyrolysis unit at the Indian Creek Total Energy Plant; pyrolysis gas can be consumed in the engines and the boilers by utilizing venturi mixing devices; the engines can consume only 5% of the output of the 25-ton/day pyrolysis unit; Therefore, consumption of pyrolysis gas will be controlled by …

Early identification of technical issues: a sensitivity study to check LISTRA1A internal consistency and structure

This report describes a sensitivity study using LISTRA1A, a model for use in the development of a long-range, time-dependent plan for licensing nuclear waste repositories. The objectives of the model are: (1) to provide information concerning the impact of various licensing strategies on the ability to dispose of nuclear waste effectively; and (2) to provide long-range budget forecasts for differing strategies of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Department of Energy (DOE). The model is designed to analyze the interaction between NRC regulatory policy and DOE technical programs. A sensitivity study is reported for a single parameter in a hypothetical review process.

Field electrochemical measurements of corrosion characteristics of materials in hypersaline geothermal brine (open access)

Field electrochemical measurements of corrosion characteristics of materials in hypersaline geothermal brine

A flow cell (with appropriate accessories) was developed for use in short-term testing of the corrosion behavior of materials in approximately 100{sup 0}C, hypersaline geothermal brine. The apparatus was designed to accommodate commercial (Petrolite) corrosion measurement equipment and conducted experiments on-line at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory Test Station in the Salton Sea Geothermal Field. The apparatus also permitted direct readings of corrosion potentials, solution redox potential (E{sub h}), brine flow rate, pH, and temperature. Estimates of general corrosion rates were obtained by the linear polarization resistance technique and from measurements of complete potentiodynamic polarization curves. The latter also afforded predictions of pitting susceptibilities of active-passive type materials. Twenty-two alloys (with various heat treatments) were tested and readily grouped according to general corrosion resistances in acidified hypersaline (approximately 4 M chloride) brine. Especially promising in regard to corrosion resistance-vs-cost is the series of low Cr--Mo steels. Prescaling of materials in unacidified (pH approximately 5.7) brine prior to exposure to acidified (pH 2 to 4.5) brine was found to be beneficial in reducing corrosion rates at 100{sup 0}C.

Data processing for the 1/5-scale Boiling Water Reactor Mark I pressure suppression experiment (open access)

Data processing for the 1/5-scale Boiling Water Reactor Mark I pressure suppression experiment

A description is given of methods used for data reduction and post-processing of reduced data for the 1/5-scale Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) Mark I pressure suppression experiment. Output from approximately 200 transducers, recorded onto analog magnetic tape, were reduced to engineering quantities with an analog-to-digital, COBOL-like conversion code. The reduced data were analyzed with conversational FORTRAN codes and mass-processed for reports with batch-processing FORTRAN codes.
