EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENTS OF THE SUCTION HEAD REQUIRED BY THE HALLAM PROTOTYPE FREE SURFACE SODIUM PUMP (open access)

EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENTS OF THE SUCTION HEAD REQUIRED BY THE HALLAM PROTOTYPE FREE SURFACE SODIUM PUMP

Hydraulic tests were made on the Hallam Prototype Free-Surface Sodium Pump to determine the net positive suction head (NPSH) required at various sodium flow rates. Pump performance data were also collected. The results indicate that an NPSH of 22 ft sodium is required at the design flow rate of 7200 gpm at approximates 1000 deg F, agreeing with computed values, and that the pump is designed with a safety margin of slightly over l0%.

Summary of HRT Run 25 (open access)

Summary of HRT Run 25

Run 25 was the final period of power operational of the HRT. The reactor was operated for periods of 62, 8, 52, and 80 hours at 5 Mw with no outward indication of fuel and core and blanket average temperatures of 270 and 230 deg C, respectively. The uranium concentration in the was 1.7 to 2.0 g U/kg D/sub 2/O. Longer periods of operation were prevented by mechanical difficulties, notably with the fuel feed pump. While the reactor was subcritical after the last of the above runs, the upper patch in the core tank wall became dislodged, allowing greater core-to-blanket mixing. The resultant blanket uranium concentration was 2.9 g U/kg D/sub 2/O. The reactor was subsequently operated at April 28, 1961. The experiment was operated at high temperature for a total of 10,866 hours. The system was critical for a total of 8,841 hours and produced 16,295 Mwhours of power. The fuel, heavy water, and some corrosion specimens were recovered, and the reactor was stored in an assembled state. (auth)

Development of a Fluidized Bed Calcination Process for Aluminum Nitrate Wastes in a Two-Foot-Square Plant Calciner. Part 2. Factors Affecting the Intra-Particle Porosity of Alumina (open access)

Development of a Fluidized Bed Calcination Process for Aluminum Nitrate Wastes in a Two-Foot-Square Plant Calciner. Part 2. Factors Affecting the Intra-Particle Porosity of Alumina

A seven- to twenty-fold volume reduction can be obtained from fluidized bed calcination of aqueous aluminum nitrate wastes, depending on the operating conditions employed and their effect on the intra-panticle porosity and absolute density of the calcined alumina. Among the calcining variables, only the bed temperature and the fuel aluminum concentration had a significant effect on the intra-particle porosity of alumina generated during studies conducted primarily in a two-foot-square fluidized bed calciner. A quantitative correlation of the effect of these variables is presented. Alumina with an intra-particle porosity as low as five per cent can be generated by employing a suitable combination of low bed temperature and dilute aluminum feed concentration. Feed sodium concentration and product alpha alumina content were found to have minor effect on intra-particle porosity. Results also show that an inverse relationship exists between the nitrate content of the calcine and the calcination temperature. (auth)

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.

Capacity-expansion planning under uncertainty in the electric-utility industry (open access)

Capacity-expansion planning under uncertainty in the electric-utility industry

This document basically represents a comparison between theory and practice of capacity-expansion planning in the electric-utility industry. The purpose of the comparison is to provide avenues for further exploration in utility decision making. The focus of the Phase II study is upon the role of uncertainty in the decision-making process. The Phase I effort was directed at modeling the Averch-Johnson theory of the regulated utility. Part I of this report reviews the Anderson study (D. Anderson, Models for Determining Least-Cost Investments in Electricity Supply). The Anderson paper has become a standard reference for capacity-planning studies in the electric-utility industry. Part II examines uncertainty and the behavior of the firm. Part III reviews 5 models of electric-utility capacity planning under uncertainty, and Part IV is concerned with capacity-planning models in practice.

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.

A PROGRAM OF BASIC RESEARCH ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF REACTOR MATERIALS. Quarterly Progress Report for the Period Ending June 30, 1962

The effect of modifying the dislocation structure by room-temperature prestraining on the subsequent yielding behavior at 77 deg K is being studied. Results on tantalum single crystals indicated that a considerable decrease in the early yield stress for a given strain is effected by prestraining at room temperature. Twinning was observed in the tantalum at 77 deg K and normal rates of strain. It is shown that the potential barrler to dislocation motion in crystalline solids can be measured in relatively pure bcc transition metals such as Nb, Ta, Mo, and W. Work is being carried out to extend the method of differential calorimetry to measurements of stored-energy-release spectra in deformed bcc metals. Measurements for copper are discussed. (M.C.G.)

Production of muons for fusion catalysis in a magnetic mirror configuration. Revision 1 (open access)

Production of muons for fusion catalysis in a magnetic mirror configuration. Revision 1

For muon-catalyzed fusion to be of practical interest, a very efficient means of producing muons must be found. We describe a scheme for producing muons that may be more energy efficient than any heretofore proposed. There are, in particular, some potential advantages of creating muons from collisions of high energy tritons confined in a magnetic mirror configuration. If one could catalyze 200 fusions per muon and employ a uranium blanket that would multiply the neutron energy by a factor of 10, one might produce electricity with an overall plant efficiency (ratio of electric energy produced to nuclear energy released) approaching 30%. One possible near term application of a muon-producing magnetic-mirror scheme would be to build a high-flux neutron source for radiation damage studies. The careful arrangement of triton orbits will result in many of the ..pi../sup -/'s being produced near the axis of the magnetic mirror. The pions quickly decay into muons, which are transported into a small (few-cm-diameter) reactor chamber producing approximately 1-MW/m/sup 2/ neutron flux on the chamber walls, using a laboratory accelerator and magnetic mirror. The costs of construction and operation of the triton injection accelerator probably introduces most of the uncertainty in the viability of this …

CdSiAs/sub 2/ thin films for solar cell applications. First quarter report April 9, 1979-June 30, 1979 (open access)

CdSiAs/sub 2/ thin films for solar cell applications. First quarter report April 9, 1979-June 30, 1979

Near stoichiometric bulk polycrystalline CdSiAs/sub 2/ has been synthesized by two techniques: (1) direct fusion of the elements and (2) direct fusion of the binaries SiAs, Cd/sub 3/As/sub 2/ and CdAs/sub 2/. The latter technique resulted in denser ternary material with good homogeneity. The above binaries melt congruently and were also formed by direct fusion. Sputtered ternary films were formed using a bulk CdSiAs/sub 2/ target, and a composite target of CdAs/sub 2/ discs in a Si plate. Composition of the CdSiAS/sub 2/ target changed with sputtering time. Amorphous films deposited from that target were heat treated, and became crystalline and near stoichiometric but with poor mechanical properties. It appears that films deposited from the composite target (Si + CdAs/sub 2/) can be adjusted to stoichiometry by means of sputtering power and target geometry. As deposited, these films also were amorphous. With respect to evaporated films, the study of thermal decomposition of CdSiAs/sub 2/ in vacuum was completed. The decomposition is preferential toward Cd between 570/sup 0/ and 710/sup 0/C, and toward As in the 710 to 1010/sup 0/C range. It is concluded that evaporation of the ternary is not a suitable method for forming CdSiAs/sub 2/ films. Plans for …
