Waste management analysis for the nuclear fuel cycle: Parts I and II. Progress report, April 1--September 30, 1977. [Actinide recovery from waste]

A preliminary evaluation of methods for the salt waste and waste water streams and recycle preparation problems was completed. A feasibility study for removing actinides from synthetic salt waste showed that a bidentate organophosphorus extractant is the most efficient for actinide removal. The evaluation of adsorbents for removing detergents and anions from waste water suggests the use of a combination of non-ionic and a strong base ion exchange resin for best results. Evaluation of leaching and dissolution methods for the recovery of actinides from combustible waste (incinerator ash) was continued. Two promising recovery methods are: (1) reaction with cerium(IV) in nitric acid to solubilize carbon and actinide oxides, and (2) fusion with carbonate--nitrate mixtures. Silica proved to be a problem. If dissolved, it interferes with subsequent actinide recovery by forming polysilicic acid upon acidification. If not solubilized, silica-encapsulated actinide oxides may not be contacted by the dissolvent. Pretreatment of ash by refluxing with greater than or equal to 6M sodium hydroxide appears to remove silica, simplifying subsequent recovery steps.

Symmetry issues in a class of ion beam targets using sufficiently short direct drive pulses (open access)

Symmetry issues in a class of ion beam targets using sufficiently short direct drive pulses

Controlling asymmetries in direct drive ion beam targets depends upon the ability to control the effects of residual target asymmetries after an appropriate illumination scheme has already been utilized. A class of modified ion beam targets where residual asymmetries are ameliorated is considered. The illumination scheme used is an axially symmetric one convenient for reactor designs. Residual asymmetries are controlled by limiting the radial motion of the radius R/sub dep/ of peak ion energy deposition. Limiting the motion of R/sub dep/ is achieved by lengthening the time scale t/sub s/ where changes in R/sub dep/ adversely affect asymmetries. In our example, t/sub s/ becomes longer than the duration ..delta..t/sub D/ of the entire direct drive pulse train (t/sub s/ > ..delta..t/sub D/).

Integrated seismic study of naturally fractured tight gas reservoirs. Technical progress report for the period: 7/1/93--9/31/93

The study area is located at the southern end of the Powder River Basin in Converse County in east-central Wyoming. It is a low permeability fractured site, with both gas and oil present. Reservoirs are highly compartmentalized due to the low permeabilities, and fractures provide the only practical paths of production. During this eighth quarter of the seismic study of this area, work continued in processing seismic data, collecting additional geological information to aid in the interpretation, and integrating regional structural information and fracture trends with observations of structure in the study area.

T839 fiber tracking transporter at New Muon Lab (open access)

T839 fiber tracking transporter at New Muon Lab

A darkbox and its transporter have been designed for T839 fiber tracking tests. The darkbox is 3.35 m {times} 0.76 m {times} 0.25 m (1{center_dot}w{center_dot}h) and contains a scintillating fiber ribbon suspension system and mechanical hardware to support the readout electronics. The transporter provides 3.0 m of horizontal motion transverse to the beam for linear scans of fiber characteristics. In addition, 70 degrees of rotation about a vertical axis is provided to simulate tracking of particles emanating from a collision point at lab angles in the range 0{degrees}--70{degrees}. The transporter, which is located inside a radiation area, is remotely controlled to permit scanning the fiber array through the region defined by four small stationary triggering scintillators without disabling beam. The transporter rails extend 20 feet to the west beyond a gate in the radiation enclosure fencing. This provides a staging area to work on the apparatus, while the beam is on. 4 figs.

Improvement of Azimuthal Homogeneity in Permanent-Magnet Bearing Rotors (open access)

Improvement of Azimuthal Homogeneity in Permanent-Magnet Bearing Rotors

Permanent magnets that are levitated and rotating over a bulk high-temperature superconductor (HTS) form the basis of many superconducting bearing designs. Experiments have shown that the rotational-loss``coefficient of friction`` for thrust bearings of this type can be as low as 8 {times} 10{sup {minus}6}. While the loss mechanisms of such bearings are not well understood, the azimuthal homogeneity of the rotating permanent magnet is believed to play an important role in determining the loss. One possible loss mechanism is magnetic hysteresis in the HTS, where the energy loss E per cycle is derived from the critical state model and given by E = K ({Delta}B{sup 3}/J{sub c}) where K is a geometric coefficient, {Delta}B is the variation in magnetic field at the surface of the HTS experienced during a rotation of the levitated magnet, and J{sub c} is the critical current density of the HTS. It is clear that a small decrease in {Delta}B (i.e., decreasing the azimuthal inhomogeneity of the rotating magnetic field) could have profound effects on decreasing E and the rotational coefficient of friction. The role of {Delta}B is also expected to be significant in reducing losses from eddy currents and other mechanisms. Low rotational losses in …

Increased coolant flow for H reactor (open access)

Increased coolant flow for H reactor

The purpose of this letter is to outline the immediate and long-range plans for increasing the H Reactor coolant flow. The flow can be increased, immediately from the present base of about 84,000 gpm to about 88,000 gpm via the following changes: routine purges; use of non-bumpered fuel; increasing the flow through Fringe enrichment and Fringe Poison tubes by changing orifices; and reaming damaged rear fittings to their original size. The flow can be increased to about 94,000 gpm via the following changes: installing larger Venturis throughout the reactor; reaming rear fittings to a larger size; installing rear nozzles that permit higher tube flows; charging I&E Poison elements in Fringe tubes; and some changes in the water pumping facilities may be necessary.

Owner-operator process and functional requirements interim modifications for improved coolant backup 100-B, C, D, DR, F, and H Reactors, Project CGI-905. Revision 1

This document defines the user,s process and functional requirements which shall be used as the basis for the preparation of the design for Project CGI-905, Interim Modifications for improved Coolant Backup 100-B, C, D, DR, F, and H Reactors. The objective in making these modifications is to provide improved reliability and adequacy in the last ditch reactor cooling systems for current and short-range forecast conditions. Performance requirements for the last ditch cooling system are based on the reactor cooling System criteria set forth in Document HW 66929. These performance criteria require that the last ditch cooling system be independent of both the primary and secondary cooling system, including piping to the reactor manifold, and that it must be capable of providing shutdown flow indefinitely, assuming instantaneous loss of power to the primary system and concurrent failure of the secondary system to provide its rated flow. The purpose of this document is to define the process requirements of the modifications and additions to the last ditch cooling systems and to outline the functional descriptions of the proposed equipment.
