Research was conducted on photosensitizers for the norbornadiene to quadricyclene conversion.

Mechanical Technology Incorporated is developing a 1 KWe Free-Piston Stirling ENgine (FPSE) Power System. The plan for testing the demonstrator power system is presented. The test hardware is a Free-Piston Stirling Engine prime mover driving a linear alternator. The demonstrator system is basically a modular assembly. The modules are the reciprocating alternator section, engine section, heater head insulation package assembly, and the pressure vessel. The test objective is to demonstrate a system with greater than 30% overall efficiency at 1 KW, 45 hz operating conditions, and to identify and isolate engine losses to provide a basis for future engine improvements.

The effort included the design, fabrication and Systems Verification Testing of the Deep Drilling System. The Systems Verification Test was conducted during October 1978 in a test well located on the premises of Brown Oil Tools Inc., Houston, Texas. In general, the Systems Verification test program was an unqualified success. All of the system elements of the Deep Drilling System were exercised and evaluated and in every instance the system can be declared ready for operational well demonstration. The motor/bit shaft combination operated very well and seal performance exceeds the design goals. The rig floor system performed better than expected. The power cable flexural characteristics are much better than anticipated and longitudinal stability is excellent. The prototype production connectors have functioned without failure. The cable reels and drive skid have also worked very well during the test program. The redesigned and expanded instrumentation subsystem also functioned very well. Some electronic component malfunctions were experienced during the early test stages, but they were isolated quickly and repaired. Subsequent downhole instrumentation deployments were successfully executed and downhole data was displayed both in the Electrodril instrumentation trailer and on the remote control and display unit.

Clearing of electrons in the vicinity of the axis of a proton beam in the dipoles of a separated function AG-focusing structure is accomplished by transverse crossed-field drift due to the magnetic dipole field and a weak longitudinal electric field. This electric field is generated by potential differences caused by cross section variations of the beam due to variations of the ..beta..-functions and dispersion. The resulting radial drift brings the electrons into the off-axis region where they are driven out of the magnets by the usual longitudinal cross-field drift caused by the radial space charge field. The neutralization in ISABELLE is then a factor 20 below former estimates, and transverse stability can be obtained by chromaticity adjustments well within the design strengths of the sextupole correction windings.

The Structured Assessment Approach was applied to material control and accounting systems at facilities that process Special Nuclear Material. Four groups of analytical techniques were developed for four general adversory types. Probabilistic algorithms were developed and compared with existing algorithms. 20 figures. (DLC)

The results of a program designed to develop a laser heated plasma sample for atomic physics studies in the 30 to 100 eV range of electron temperature and the 3 x 10/sup 17/ to 10/sup 18/ cm/sup -3/ range in electron density are presented. The approach used was discussed in detail in Mathematical Sciences Northwest, Inc., (MSNW) Proposal 1660, that is, the laser breakdown mode of heating in a slow solenoid. An extensive rework of the plasma sample facility was done in order to use this mode of heating. Specifically, a new solenoid magnet was constructed to allow higher field operation and the plasma chamber was modified to allow the use of puff filling orifices and small bore tube liners. The vacuum system and focussing optics were changed to allow the use of an on-axis Cassagranian system capable of focussing the laser radiation to a nearly diffraction limited spot as is necessary when heating through a small aperture. The 10 liter CO/sub 2/ laser optics were charged to an unstable oscillator configuration and additional windows were provided into the optical cavity for alignment purposes.

In high explosives machining the three major concerns are safety, reliability, and ease of operation. With these three concerns as our main goals, LLL's EE and ME departments worked together to modify a LeBlond precision lathe for high explosives machining. The result is a unique, remote-controlled lathe which has extensive mechanical and electronics modifications. The lathe has been operating safely and successfully at Site 300's HE Test Facility since April 1978.
