Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Accelerator Division Annual Report: 1975 (open access)

Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Accelerator Division Annual Report: 1975

The Bevatron/Bevalac is operated, maintained, and continually improved as a national research facility for studies in nuclear science and in biology and medicine. Recent modifications have brought the 21-year-old synchrotron to the threshold of tremendously exciting new studies as the world's most powerful heavy-ion accelerator. In its Bevalac configuration, the machine capitalizes on the coupling of the SuperHILAC to the Bevatron via a 175-meter beam line. The SuperHILAC acts as an injector to provide the Bevatron with high-intensity beams of ions as heavy as argon. At the same time, the SuperHILAC is capable of delivering heavy-ion beams to its own group of experimenters through a computer-linked, time-share system of operation. Research efforts using the Bevalac have included a broad spectrum of nuclear science and cosmic-ray-simulation experiments, as well as intensive studies in biology and medicine aimed principally at diagnostic techniques and preclinical therapy studies for some forms of cancer.

Some illustrations of stochasticity (open access)

Some illustrations of stochasticity

A complex, and apparently stochastic, character frequently can be seen to occur in the solutions to simple Hamiltonian problems. Such behavior is of interest, and potentially of importance, to designers of particle accelerators--as well as to workers in other fields of physics and related disciplines. Even a slow development of disorder in the motion of particles in a circular accelerator or storage ring could be troublesome, because a practical design requires the beam particles to remain confined in an orderly manner within a narrow beam tube for literally tens of billions of revolutions. The material presented is primarily the result of computer calculations made to investigate the occurrence of ''stochasticity,'' and is organized in a manner similar to that adopted for presentation at a 1974 accelerator conference.

Subsurface stabilization by grouting of a simulated underground tank (open access)

Subsurface stabilization by grouting of a simulated underground tank

A moisture barrier using water, sodium silicate, formamide, calcium chloride and penechem with a gel time of one-half hour was constructed around a simulated tank 10 feet deep by 10 feet diameter in the subsurface of the 200 West Area. As a test of the moisture barrier integrity, the volume which would normally be occupied by a tank was excavated and filled with water. The barrier was unable to contain the water. The failure to achieve a water-tight barrier was attributed to a leak in the floor grout.

Design of an electrostatic end-plugged plasma-confinement device (open access)

Design of an electrostatic end-plugged plasma-confinement device

A laboratory-scale experimental device having an outside diameter of 1.2 m has been designed to test the idea of electrostatic end plugging of an open-ended magnetic-field configuration. The configuration is a toroidal quadrupole having four very thin (less than 1-mm-thick) line cusps produced by four circular copper coils. Iron is used to concentrate the magnetic flux density to 2.0 T; without the use of iron, the power consumption, which is about 1 MW, would be about 25 times higher. The use of iron also produces a precisely known magnetic field and allows good access for diagnostics and pumping. Iron is also used for both the flux return path and the vacuum chamber. A hollow anode with an adjustable (nominally 1-mm-wide) gap is biased from 10 to 20 kV. Plasma densities of about 10/sup 13/ cm/sup -3/ and temperatures of about 1 keV might be produced by an electron beam and by electron cyclotron resonance heating. Higher-order multipoles (hexapoles and octopoles) also are described.

Impedance calculations for power cables to primary coolant pump motors

The LOFT primary system motor generator sets are located in Room B-239 and are connected to the primary coolant pumps by means of a power cable. The calculated average impedance of this cable is 0.005323 ohms per unit resistance and 0.006025 ohms per unit reactance based on 369.6 kVA and 480 volts. The report was written to show the development of power cable parameters that are to be used in the SICLOPS (Simulation of LOFT Reactor Coolant Loop Pumping System) digital computer program as written in LTR 1142-16 and also used in the pump coastdowns for the FSAR Analysis.

Large rectangular bellows valve (open access)

Large rectangular bellows valve

Neutral-beam injection is a primary means of building high-energy plasmas in present mirror fusion machines. The injectors need periodic maintenance while a machine is operating, so isolation of them by valving is a desirable chracteristic. Because their energy densities have practical limits, the beams require large cross-sections. Thus, valves having apertures of 10 ft/sup 2/ would be common. Traditional cam-seated vacuum gate valves have been built this large, but they are bulky, costly, and heavy. Improvement is possible by use of an inflatable-bellows assembly for the valve gate. This paper describes the design of such a valve. The design allows a clear aperture of 20 by 36 in. with a valve body that is only 5-/sup 1///sub 4/ in. thick.

SOLARSIM is a quantitative computer model which calculates, on a regional and national basis, domestic water and domestic space and water heating loads for single family detached dwellings. SOLARSIM is also capable of performing life-cycle cost analyses of solar space and water heating systems of various levels of intricacy. The main function of SOLARSIM, a solar energy financial incentive model for the applications of solar water heating and solar space and water heating, is to estimate the impacts of different economic and financial incentive scenarios designed to accelerate the market penetration of solar energy heating systems in the 48 contiguous states.

Geopressured geothermal resources of Texas: a report on legal ownership and royalty issues

Legal issues affecting ownership of the geopressured resources were examined. It was concluded that consideration of royalty interests indicates that the greatest promise for geothermal resource development would be offered if the geopressured resources were held to be entirely mineral in character. Further, the energy of the geopressured water should be held to be embraced by the standard term other minerals. (MHR)
