This program has the objective of determining the relationships between the shale characteristics, hydrocarbon gas contents, and well location, and thereby provide a sound basis for (1) assessing the productive capacity of the Eastern Devonian Gas Shale deposits and (2) guiding research, development, and demonstration projects to enhance the recovery of natural gas from the shale deposits. The Y-1 well in Allegany County, New York was sampled in September 1978. 412 samples were collected from the Allegany County, New York well. Characterization data on Y-1 (EGSP New York No. 1), Allegany County, New York well is reported and discussed. Analysis of the hydrocarbon gases in Y-1 samples indicates that the longer chain hydrocarbon gases (ethane, propane, butane) in these shales are significantly higher than in previous wells. The carbon contents of the Y-1 (Allegany County, New York) well, on the other hand, are somewhat lower than predicted from the hydrocarbon gas contents. There is still a positive relationship between the carbon and hydrocarbon gas contents, however. A similar relationship is also apparent between the sulfur and hydrocarbon gas contents. No unusual trends are observed in the porosity values, and a reasonable agreement exists between the measured Hg-intrusion values and those …

Analytical procedures were refined for the Structural Assessment Approach for assessing the Material Control and Accounting systems at facilities that contain special nuclear material. Requirements were established for an efficient, feasible algorithm to be used in evaluating system performance measures that involve the probability of detection. Algorithm requirements to calculate the probability of detection for a given type of adversary and the target set are described.

The Fusion Materials Irradiation Test Facility (FMIT) is a high-energy, high-flux neutron source for fusion materials development. The FMIT linear accelerator will produce a 35 MeV beam of deuterons that generates high-energy neutrons by a nuclear stripping reaction with flowing liquid lithium targets. The targets will be located in two identical irradiation test cells, either of which will provide an irradiation volume of 10 cm/sup 3/ at a neutron flux of 10/sup 15/ n/cm/sup 2/-s and 500 cm/sup 3/ at a flux of 10/sup 14/ n/cm/sup 2/-s. FMIT has been authorized by the US Congress and will be constructed and operated by the Hanford Engineering Development Laboratory (HEDL) at Richland, Washington, in collaboration with the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) which is providing the accelerator design. The project is currently entering the detailed design phase, targeting for start of construction in early 1980 and operaion in 1983-84. Research and development programs are underway at both HEDL and LASL to resolve uncertainties in the lithium target and accelerator designs.

In growth station JPL No. 1 the work during this quarter centered around trying to evaluate any influences on ribbon quality which might be caused by various materials of construction which are used in the growth furnace. At the present level of ribbon quality, which has produced 8.5% to 9.5% efficient solar cells, no particular influence of any furnace part was detected. The experiments rather led to the suspicion that the general environment and the somewhat unoptimized materials handling procedures might be responsible for the current variations in ribbon quality and that, therefore, continuous work with this furnace under rather more stringent environmental conditions and operating procedures could perhaps improve materials quality to some extent. The work on Machine 3A (the multiple furnace) was continued with two multiple growth runs being performed. In these runs, the melt replenishment system performed poorly and extensive modifications to it have been designed to make reliable melt feeding for five ribbon growth possible. Although in the first quality assessment runs ever performed with the melt replenishment system diffusion lengths nearly as great as those found in non-melt replenished runs were found, we have not yet apparently identified all the factors affecting SiC density in …

A program to design, fabricate, and verify by test a low-cost (in volume production), modularized, practical solar air heater adaptable for new or retrofit space-heating and hot-water applications is described. The unique hardware elements of the SOLAIR II medium-temperature air heater described are the TCA solar collectors, energy transfer module, interconnecting ductwork, and mounting hardware. SOLAIR II is a two-tank domestic hot-water-augmented system. The system is described in detail; market and design analyses are described; fabrication procedures are noted; and design verification tests and results are discussed. The design used for the pre-production lot was essentially the SOLAIR II design and will serve as the basis for future design evaluations as the product is introduced into the commercial market.

Efforts at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory toward the production of pure polycrystaline silicon are centered on the concept of silicon particle growth in a fluidized bed reactor (FBR) and a continuous flow pyrolyzer (CFP). The CFP possibly can provide the seed particles which will be grown to larger sizes in the FBR. In both the reactors polycrystalline silicon is obtaned from the pyrolysis of silane. A part of the JPL effort is to develop a model of silicon particle growth for the purpose of predicting particle growth rates and product particle size distributions in the FBR and the CFP. This repot describes the mathematical models of silicon particle growth in the FBR and the CFP.

This report is the first in a series and details the results accomplished under the following tasks: (1) evaluation of existing passive solar calculation methods, (2) BLAST/DOE-1 program interface and comparison with BR-202, and (3) development of analytic relationships between the thermal balance and weighting factor techniques. The various methods available for use in thermal load analysis are presented with detailed informaton on algorithms used in the thermal balance and weighting factor techniques. (MOW)
