[Aerial view of NASCAR Winston Cup drivers racing]

Aerial photograph of NASCAR Winston Cup drivers racing before the DIRECTV 500 race held at Texas Motor Speedway on April 2, 2000. The bottom third of the photo is filled by cozens of stands packed with people watching the race below them, only a tall fence lien separating the onlookers from the road. The middle third of the photo is occupied by the racing circuit, its roads wrapping around large patches of grass with logos like that of DIRECTV, Albertsons, and Sprint painted onto the grass. The cars of the race all speed along the part of the circuit closest to the stands of people watching the vehicles. The top third of the photo is filled with parked vehicles including large trucks and cars, plus a lien of tents that sit in front of the far side of the racing circuit. According to the label on the back of the photo, Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the race, making it his first Winston Cup victory.

Effects of Parametric Variations on Seismic Analysis Methods for Non-Classically Damped Coupled Systems (open access)

Effects of Parametric Variations on Seismic Analysis Methods for Non-Classically Damped Coupled Systems

A comprehensive benchmark program was developed by Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) to perform an evaluation of state-of-the-art methods and computer programs for performing seismic analyses of coupled systems with non-classical damping. The program, which was sponsored by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), was designed to address various aspects of application and limitations of these state-of-the-art analysis methods to typical coupled nuclear power plant (NPP) structures with non-classical damping, and was carried out through analyses of a set of representative benchmark problems. One objective was to examine the applicability of various analysis methods to problems with different dynamic characteristics unique to coupled systems. The examination was performed using parametric variations for three simple benchmark models. This paper presents the comparisons and evaluation of the program participants' results to the BNL exact solutions for the applicable ranges of modeling dynamic characteristic parameters.

[Jeff Gordon, Bill Elliott, and Jerry Nadeau wrecking]

Photograph of Jeff Gordon (#24), Bill Elliott (#94), and Jerry Nadeau (#25) wrecking during the DIRECTV 500 race held at Texas Motor Speedway on April 2, 2000. Elliott's car (#94) tilts upwards off the road as Gordon's car (#24) runs towards the underside of Elliott's car. Another car sits behind the rear of Gordon's car. In the distance beyond Elliott's car (#94) are two more cars driving towards the wreck in the foreground. Nadeau's car (#25) sits further into the photo, close to a short wall running alongside the road, and has a crumpled rear end. Smoke fills the empty areas of the road. According to a label on the back of the photo, the crash depicted was one of 12 cautions that occurred during the race, which resulted in Nadeau (#25) not completing the race.

Keys to successful D and D technology Deployments at the INEEL (open access)

Keys to successful D and D technology Deployments at the INEEL

Seven improved decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) technologies were successfully deployed at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) during the Accelerated Site Technology Deployment (ASTD) Integrated Decontamination and Decommissioning (ID&D) project. The use of these improved technologies saved the INEEL $462K in fiscal year 1999, and is projected to save about $14M over the next ten years. Since deploying new technologies on D&D projects shows great potential for cost-savings, factors that led to successful deployment have been documented. These factors are described here as they apply to the seven deployments at the INEEL to assist with deployments at other DOE sites.

A Machine Approach for Field Weakening of Permanent-Magnet Motors (open access)

A Machine Approach for Field Weakening of Permanent-Magnet Motors

The commonly known technology of field weakening for permanent-magnet (PM) motors is achieved by controlling the direct-axis current component through an inverter, without using mechanical variation of the air gap, a new machine approach for field weakening of PM machines by direct control of air-gap fluxes is introduced. The demagnetization situation due to field weakening is not an issue with this new method. In fact, the PMs are strengthened at field weakening. The field-weakening ratio can reach 1O:1 or higher. This technology is particularly useful for the PM generators and electric vehicle drives.

Overview of the use of ATHENA for thermal-hydraulic analysis of systems with lead-bismuth coolant (open access)

Overview of the use of ATHENA for thermal-hydraulic analysis of systems with lead-bismuth coolant

The INEEL and MIT are investigating the suitability of lead-bismuth cooled fast reactor for producing low-cost electricity as well as for actinide burning. This paper is concerned with the general area of thermal-hydraulics of lead-bismuth cooled reactors. The ATHENA code is being used in the thermal-hydraulic design and analysis of lead-bismuth cooled reactors. The ATHENA code was reviewed to determine its applicability for simulating lead-bismuth cooled reactors. Two modifications were made to the code as a result of this review. Specifically, a correlation to represent heat transfer from rod bundles to a liquid metal and a void correlation based on data taken in a mixture of lead-bismuth and steam were added the code. The paper also summarizes the analytical work that is being performed with the code and plans for future analytical work.

SCDAP/RELAP5 modeling of fluid heat transfer and flow losses through porous debris in a light water reactor (open access)

SCDAP/RELAP5 modeling of fluid heat transfer and flow losses through porous debris in a light water reactor

The SCDAP/RELAP5 code is being developed at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory under the primary sponsorship of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to provide best-estimate transient simulations of light water reactor coolant systems during severe accidents. This paper describes the modeling approach used in the SCDAP/RELAP5 code to calculate fluid heat transfer and flow losses through porous debris that has accumulated in the vessel lower head and core regions during the latter stages of a severe accident. The implementation of heat transfer and flow loss correlations into the code is discussed, and calculations performed to assess the validity of the modeling approach are described. The different modes of heat transfer in porous debris include: (1) forced convection to liquid, (2) forced convection to gas, (3) nucleate boiling, (4) transition boiling, (5) film boiling, and (6) transition from film boiling to convection to vapor. The correlations for flow losses in porous debris include frictional and form losses. The correlations for flow losses were integrated into the momentum equations in the RELAP5 part of the code. Since RELAP5 is a very general non-homogeneous non-equilibrium thermal-hydraulics code, the resulting modeling methodology is applicable to a wide range of debris thermal-hydraulic …

SCDAP/RELAP5 modeling of movement of melted material through porous debris in lower head (open access)

SCDAP/RELAP5 modeling of movement of melted material through porous debris in lower head

A model is described for the movement of melted metallic material through a ceramic porous debris bed. The model is designed for the analysis of severe accidents in LWRs, wherein melted core plate material may slump onto the top of a porous bed of relocated core material supported by the lower head. The permeation of the melted core plate material into the porous debris bed influences the heatup of the debris bed and the heatup of the lower head supporting the debris. A model for mass transport of melted metallic material is applied that includes terms for viscosity and turbulence but neglects inertial and capillary terms because of their small value relative to gravity and viscous terms in the momentum equation. The relative permeability and passability of the porous debris are calculated as functions of debris porosity, particle size, and effective saturation. An iterative numerical solution is used to solve the set of nonlinear equations for mass transport. The effective thermal conductivity of the debris is calculated as a function of porosity, particle size, and saturation. The model integrates the equations for mass transport with a model for the two-dimensional conduction of heat through porous debris. The integrated model has …
