Onslow Bay physical/dynamical experiments, Summer--Fall, 1975. Data report. [Continental shelf processes affecting the oceanography of the South Atlantic Bight]

The objectives of this data report are to provide a commentary on the logistics and methodology of, and also to serve as a documentation of, the experimental and observational data sets obtained during the summer and fall and winter of 1975. Beyond the inclusion of the reduced, i.e., computer processed and filtered, data, no interpretation is provided. It is anticipated that this report will serve as an effective guidebook for future field programs. This report includes data from four cruises (two deployment, two retrieval) of the R/V Advance II during the summer through fall/winter, 1975. Data were collected relevant to the continental shelf processes affecting the oceanography of the South Atlantic Bight. The immediate problems being addressed were those of understanding the processes by which nutrients are transported onto the North Carolina Shelf from offshore and to establish possible transport pathways for effluents discharged into North Carolina coastal waters.

Ion heating in ATC Tokamak in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (open access)

Ion heating in ATC Tokamak in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies

Ion heating by irradiation of rf fields in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies is investigated using several diagnostic techniques. It is shown that substantial heating of the bulk of the ions can be achieved by this method.

Oak Ridge Research Reactor quarterly report, July, August, and September of 1976 (open access)

Oak Ridge Research Reactor quarterly report, July, August, and September of 1976

The ORR operated at an average power level of 29.8 Mw for 50.9 percent of the time during July, August, and September of 1976. One fuel element was declared spent (62.4 percent burnup) during the quarter, while five new elements were placed in service. Two shim-rod elements were retired from service at an average burnup of 69.0 percent. The reactor was shut down on twelve occasions, all of which were scheduled. Reactor downtime needed for refueling, maintenance and checks was quite low, with the reactor remaining available for operation 95.5 percent of the time. Maintenance activities, both mechanical and instrument were essentially routine in nature. In-service inspections completed during the quarter included: (1) inspection of the decay tank strainer on 9-21-76, and (2) inspection of the reactor primary heat exchanger No. 3, secondary side, on 9-24-76.

Experience in the cleanup of plutonium-contaminated land (open access)

Experience in the cleanup of plutonium-contaminated land

During the summer of 1974, two accidental releases from a radioactive liquid-waste line at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) resulted in plutonium contamination of a small area of land, a portion of a Laboratory parking lot, and a strip along an adjacent street. This report documents the immediate control actions and radiation surveys made in response to these leaks, and the subsequent exhumation and decontamination processes, including the physical operations, operational health physics, and soil sample analyses. The cost and results of the decontamination and restoration are also covered.

AMP (Activity Manipulation Program) (open access)

AMP (Activity Manipulation Program)

AMP is a FORTRAN IV program written to handle energy-group structured activity factors such as sources, conversion factors, and response functions, as used by ANISN, DOT III, and other nuclear reactor and shielding codes. Activities may be retrieved from ANISN-type cross-section and activity sets found on cards and tapes, and from tabular-type sets on cards. They may be altered by change of group structure, multiplication by a constant, or multiplication by delta E (the group-energy interval), and then output to ANISN-type cards or tape and tabular-type cards. A full edit of input and output activities is always printed by group and activity number.

Structured computer-aided digital logic design: the S-1 Design System (open access)

Structured computer-aided digital logic design: the S-1 Design System

Structured computer-aided digital logic design is defined and an example of it is given, the S-1 Design System. It is noted that such a system has resulted in a very large reduction in the amount of designer effort required to complete the design of a large-scale digital processing system in the first exercise of its capabilities. This basic and generally applicable advance in digital design technology may be expected to affect quite favorably all complex digital systems developments. 3 figures.

H(t Vector,t)H scattering at low energies. [Differential cross sections, vector analyzing powers, 1. 26 to 3. 71 MeV cm] (open access)

H(t Vector,t)H scattering at low energies. [Differential cross sections, vector analyzing powers, 1. 26 to 3. 71 MeV cm]

Angular distributions of the differential cross section and vector analyzing power for H + t approaches elastic scattering, at center-of-mass energies 1.26, 1.68, 2.19, 2.70, 3.21, and 3.71 MeV are presented. A preliminary phase-shift analysis of the data confirms the importance of the odd-parity tensor and even-parity spin-orbit nucleon-nucleon forces in model calculations for the /sup 4/He system in this energy range.

Avoidance of Thermal Effluent by Juvenile Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus Tshowytscha) and Its Implications in Waste Heat Management (open access)

Avoidance of Thermal Effluent by Juvenile Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus Tshowytscha) and Its Implications in Waste Heat Management

Knowledge of behavioral responses of aquatic organisms to thermal discharges at power plants is essential to evaluate thermal exposure and subsequent effects on survival and ecological success. Instantaneous responses of juvenile salmon that encountered a simulated river-thermal plume interface were assessed in a model raceway with a thermal discharge. Fish movement and response to the discharge were recorded on videotape. Juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) tested under three discharge conditions (no plume, ambient plume and heated plume) avoided plume temperatures greater than 9 to 11/sup 0/C above ambient. Fish occasionally oriented to the discharge current, but were not attracted to the thermal component of the plume when plume ..delta..T's were below the avoidance level of 11/sup 0/C. Fish did not pass to the lower end of the raceway when plume ..delta..T exceeded 9 to 11/sup 0/C. The responses noted in our experiments suggest organismic behavior may prevent juvenile salmon in nature from experiencing lethal conditions from thermal discharges and have application in waste heat management and utilization.
