Configuration Management Program Plan (open access)

Configuration Management Program Plan

Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC) has established a configuration management (CM) plan to execute the SRS CM Policy and the requirements of the DOE Order 4700.1. The Reactor Restart Division (RRD) has developed its CM Plan under the SRS CM Program and is implementing it via the RRD CM Program Plan and the Integrated Action Plan. The purpose of the RRD CM program is to improve those processes which are essential to the safe and efficient operation of SRS production reactors. This document provides details of this plan.

Theoretical study of the structure, energetics, and dynamics of silicon and carbon systems using tight-binding approaches (open access)

Theoretical study of the structure, energetics, and dynamics of silicon and carbon systems using tight-binding approaches

Semiempirical interatomic potentials are developed for silicon and carbon by modeling the total energy of the system using tight-binding approaches. The parameters of the models were obtained by fitting to results from accurate first-principles Local Density Functional calculations. Applications to the computation of phonons as a function of volume for diamond-structured silicon and carbon and the thermal expansions for silicon and diamond yields results which agree well with experiment. The physical origin of the negative thermal expansion observed in silicon is explained. A tight-binding total energy model is generated capable of describing carbon systems with a variety of atomic coordinations and topologies. The model reproduces the total energy versus volume curves of various carbon polytypes as well as phonons and elastic constants of diamond and graphite. The model has also been used in the molecular-dynamics simulation of the properties of carbon clusters. The calculated ground-state geometries of small clusters (C{sub 2}--C{sub 10}) correlates well with results from accurate quantum chemical calculations, and the structural trend of clusters from C{sub 2} to C{sub 60} are investigated. 67 refs., 19 figs.

A cryogenic system design for the international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER) (open access)

A cryogenic system design for the international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER)

A conceptual design for ITER was completed last year. The author developed a suitable cryogenic system for ITER as part of this conceptual design effort. An overview of the design is reported. Emphasis is on the fact that cryogenics is a mature science, and a system supporting ITER needs can be made from time-proven components without loss of efficiency or reliability. Because of the large size of the ITER cryogenic system, large numbers of compressors and expanders must be used. Very high reliability is assured by arranging these components in parallel banks where servicing of individual components can be done without interruption of operations. This and other ideas based on the author's experience with Mirror Fusion Test Facility (MFTF) operations are described. 5 refs., 3 figs.

[Letter from Bill McCarter to Gail Davitt, September 25, 1995] (open access)

[Letter from Bill McCarter to Gail Davitt, September 25, 1995]

Photocopy of a letter from Bill McCarter, co-director of North Texas Institute for Educators on the Visual Arts, to Gail Davit. In regards of scheduling a two-week summer institute at the Dallas Museum of Art teachers in the Dallas Independent School District. McCarter is hoping that the DMA could provide a laboratory for the fellows to have a "capstone" experience that would benefit the DMA, NTIEVA, DISD and the Marcus Foundation from such a collaboration. An issue McCarter addresses is finding the money to pay the teachers for attending, possibly a shared cost between the district and NTIEVA, he ends the letter saying many details have to be worked out. A cover sheet is at the end of the faxed letter.

Advanced nuclear reactor public opinion project (open access)

Advanced nuclear reactor public opinion project

This Interim Report summarizes the findings of our first twenty in-depth interviews in the Advanced Nuclear Reactor Public Opinion Project. We interviewed 6 industry trade association officials, 3 industry attorneys, 6 environmentalists/nuclear critics, 3 state officials, and 3 independent analysts. In addition, we have had numerous shorter discussions with various individuals concerned about nuclear power. The report is organized into the four categories proposed at our April, 1991, Advisory Group meeting: safety, cost-benefit analysis, science education, and communications. Within each category, some change of focus from that of the Advisory Group has been required, to reflect the findings of our interviews. This report limits itself to describing our findings. An accompanying memo draws some tentative conclusions.

Algebraic calculation of stroboscopic maps of ordinary, nonlinear differential equations (open access)

Algebraic calculation of stroboscopic maps of ordinary, nonlinear differential equations

The relation between the parameters of a differential equation and corresponding discrete maps are becoming increasingly important in the study of nonlinear dynamical systems. Maps are well adopted for numerical computation and several universal properties of them are known. Therefore some perturbation methods have been proposed to deduce them for physical systems, which can be modeled by an ordinary differential equation (ODE) with a small nonlinearity. A new iterative, rigorous algebraic method for the calculation of the coefficients of a Taylor expansion of a stroboscopic map from ODE's with not necessarily small nonlinearities is presented. It is shown analytically that most of the coefficients are small for a small integration time and grow slowly in the course of time if the flow vector field of the ODE is polynomial and if the ODE has fixed point in the origin. Approximations of different orders respectively of the rest term are investigated for several nonlinear systems. 31 refs., 16 figs.

Measurements of surface ocean carbon dioxide partial pressure during WOCE (open access)

Measurements of surface ocean carbon dioxide partial pressure during WOCE

Progress during the past year of research under Measurements of Surface Ocean Carbon Dioxide Partial Pressure During WOCE'' has been significant. As was described in our previous progress report, the startup phase of this research was severely frustrated by delays in the US WOCE Hydrographic Program (WHP), which in turn were caused by delays in the mid-life refit of the R/V Knorr. As a result the high latitude southeastern Pacific work (WHP lines P19S and P16S) originally scheduled for the 1990 austral summer has still not been carried out. As a substitute, the smaller R/V Thomas Washington was pressed into service during mid-1991 to carry out lower-latitude portions of the WHP P16 and P17 lines - the TUNES Expedition. Because this ship is much smaller than the R/V Knorr, she could not carry a full complement of WHP programs and seagoing personnel and was restricted by her size and the time of year to lower-latitude work. Our original proposal for carbon dioxide measurements was designed to divide the work between legs in which we participated as part of the WHP dissolved CFC program (under separate NSF funding) and legs in which we entrusted the operation of our system to other …

Numerical simulation of the stability in a cable-in-conduit conductor developed for fusion-magnet applications (open access)

Numerical simulation of the stability in a cable-in-conduit conductor developed for fusion-magnet applications

The stability margins of the US-Demonstration Poloidal Coil (US-DPC) and the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) TF coils have been modeled numerically using the computer program CICC. The computed US-DPC limiting current, I{sub lim}, compares favorably with the values determined experimentally. Using the detailed program CICC output, we investigated the DPC quench initiation mechanism in each of the three stability regions. In the ill-cooled region, the imposed heat pulse heats the conductor to the current-sharing temperature, T{sub cs}. In the transition region, the resistance heating after the pulse must be strong enough to overcome the induced flow reversal. In the well-cooled region, good heat transfer heats the helium during the pulse. After the pulse, these high helium temperatures along with poor heat transfer cause the conductor to quench. Changes in I{sub lim} agree with Dresner's relationship. I{sub lim} can be improved by decreasing the copper resistivity, the helium fraction, or the conductor diameter. Preliminary results show the ITER and TF coil operating point is in the well-cooled region. 10 refs., 7 figs., 1 tab.
