Thermal Response of the 21-PWR Waste Package to a Fire Accident (open access)

Thermal Response of the 21-PWR Waste Package to a Fire Accident

The objective of this calculation is to evaluate the thermal response of the 21-PWR WP (pressurized water reactor waste package) to the regulatory fire event. The scope of this calculation is limited to the two-dimensional waste package temperature calculations to support the waste package design. The information provided by the sketches attached to this calculation (Attachment IV) is that of the potential design of the type of waste package considered in this calculation. The procedure AP-3.12Q.Calculations (Reference 1), and the Development Plan (Reference 24) are used to develop this calculation.

Threshold Assessment: Definition of Acceptable Sites as Part of Site Selection for the Japanese HLW Program (open access)

Threshold Assessment: Definition of Acceptable Sites as Part of Site Selection for the Japanese HLW Program

For the last ten years, the Japanese High-Level Nuclear Waste (HLW) repository program has focused on assessing the feasibility of a basic repository concept, which resulted in the recently published H12 Report. As Japan enters the implementation phase, a new organization must identify, screen and choose potential repository sites. Thus, a rapid mechanism for determining the likelihood of site suitability is critical. The threshold approach, described here, is a simple mechanism for defining the likelihood that a site is suitable given estimates of several critical parameters. We rely on the results of a companion paper, which described a probabilistic performance assessment simulation of the HLW reference case in the H12 report. The most critical two or three input parameters are plotted against each other and treated as spatial variables. Geostatistics is used to interpret the spatial correlation, which in turn is used to simulate multiple realizations of the parameter value maps. By combining an array of realizations, we can look at the probability that a given site, as represented by estimates of this combination of parameters, would be good host for a repository site.

Trade Adjustment Assistance for Workers: Proposals for Renewal and Reform (open access)

Trade Adjustment Assistance for Workers: Proposals for Renewal and Reform

The Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program offers extended unemployment benefits and job training to workers left jobless by the impact of foreign trade. A similar program was begun with the adoption of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). This Transitional Adjustment Assistance Program (NAFTA-TAAP) not only aids trade-affected workers but also helps those who lose jobs because their firms have relocated production to Canada or Mexico.

3DIVS: 3-Dimensional Immersive Virtual Sculpting (open access)

3DIVS: 3-Dimensional Immersive Virtual Sculpting

Virtual Environments (VEs) have the potential to revolutionize traditional product design by enabling the transition from conventional CAD to fully digital product development. The presented prototype system targets closing the ''digital gap'' as introduced by the need for physical models such as clay models or mockups in the traditional product design and evaluation cycle. We describe a design environment that provides an intuitive human-machine interface for the creation and manipulation of three-dimensional (3D) models in a semi-immersive design space, focusing on ease of use and increased productivity for both designer and CAD engineers.

Advanced Analysis Methods in High Energy Physics (open access)

Advanced Analysis Methods in High Energy Physics

During the coming decade, high energy physics experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron and around the globe will use very sophisticated equipment to record unprecedented amounts of data in the hope of making major discoveries that may unravel some of Nature's deepest mysteries. The discovery of the Higgs boson and signals of new physics may be around the corner. The use of advanced analysis techniques will be crucial in achieving these goals. The author discusses some of the novel methods of analysis that could prove to be particularly valuable for finding evidence of any new physics, for improving precision measurements and for exploring parameter spaces of theoretical models.

Approximating Material Interfaces During Data Simplification (open access)

Approximating Material Interfaces During Data Simplification

We present a new method for simplifying large data sets that contain material interfaces. Material interfaces embedded in the meshes of computational data sets are often a source of error for simplification algorithms because they represent discontinuities in the scalar or vector fields over a cell. By representing material interfaces explicitly in a data simplification process, we are able to provide separate field representations for each material over a single cell and, thus, to represent the fields much more accurately. Our algorithm uses a multiresolution tetrahedral mesh supporting fast coarsening and refinement capabilities and error bounds for feature preservation. We represent a material interface or other surface of discontinuity as the zero set of a signed distance function. This representation makes it possible to maintain continuity of the surface across cell boundaries. It also makes it possible to represent more complex interface structures within a cell, such as T-intersections. Within a cell, a field is represented on either side of the surface of discontinuity by separate linear functions. These functions are determined by true and ''ghost'' values of the field at the vertices of the cell. By requiring that each vertex have only one ghost value for a given field …

Band Anticrossing in Highly Mismatched Group II-VI Semiconductor Alloys (open access)

Band Anticrossing in Highly Mismatched Group II-VI Semiconductor Alloys

We have successfully synthesized highly mismatched Cd{sub 1-y}Mn{sub y}O{sub x}Te{sub 1-x} alloys by high dose implantation of O ions into Cd{sub 1-y}Mn{sub y}Te crystals. In crystals with y > 0.02, incorporation of O causes a large decrease in the band gap. The band gap reduction increases with y; the largest value observed is 190 meV in O-implanted Cd{sub 0.38}Mn{sub 0.62}Te. The results are consistent with the band anticrossing model which predicts that a repulsive interaction between localized states of O located above the conduction band edge and the extended states of the conduction band causes the band gap reduction. A best fit of the measured band gap energies of the O ion synthesized Cd{sub 1-y}Mn{sub y}O{sub x}Te{sub 1-x} alloys using the band anticrossing model for y < 0.55 suggests an activation efficiency of only {approx}5% for implanted O in Cd{sub 1-y}Mn{sub y}Te.
