As part of the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory program to assess the environmental impact of various types of nuclear power plants, methods are being investigated for the real-time analysis of reactor plume isotopic exposure rates. The Biomedical and Environmental Research Division mobile laboratory that was developed for terrestrial radioactivity measurements has been modified for atmospheric studies. The existing Ge(Li) spectrometer and high-pressure argon- ion chamber-detector systems have been augmented by the addition of wind speed and direction measuring capability and a second, remotely operable, ion chamber. The mobile laboratory and techniques for plume measurements are discussed. (auth)

The objectives of this work were fourfold: (1) to test the validity of the vibrating string dislocation model in silver, (2) to determine in which annealing stage long-range migration first occurs, (3) to measure the migration energy and identify the defect responsible for observed annealing, and (4) to investigate the possibility of dislocation pipe diffusion. Apparatus is described which is capable of continuously measuring changes in the elastic modulus and internal friction during gamma irradiation over the temperature range from less than 4$sup 0$K to well above room temperature. A novel hollow-cylinder sample geometry permits use of a source strength of only 1 Ci. Survey experiments over a wide temperature range and isothermal irradiations above room temperature are discussed. The results are explained in terms of the Koehler- Granato-Lucke vibrating string dislocation model and the Thompson-Buck-Huntington- Barnes defect-dislocation interaction model. (auth)

The performance of a uranium trap as a means of removing tritium from an inert gas was measured for varying trap conditions, using deuterium (to represent tritium) in argon at room temperature. Performance was expressed as a purification factor, which is the ratio of deuterium concentration at the inlet to that at the outlet of the trap. Purification factors vary inversely with both the ratio of deuterium to uranium already contained in the trap and with the rate of flow of gas through the trap. Varying the inlet deuterium concentration had no apparent effect. (auth)

The tantalum-base alloy, T-111, is an ideal radioisotope encapsulant from the aspect of mechanical properties, but unfortunately undergoes severe oxygen embrittlement during long-term, high-temperature exposure to PuO$sub 2$. A study was undertaken in an effort to improve T-111/PuO$sub 2$ compatibility by testing the hypothesis that reduction of fuel stoichiometry to the range PuO$sub 1$.$sub 75$ to PuO$sub 1$.$sub 8$ would suspend the embrittlement process by producing a state of thermodynamic equilibrium within the capsule. Test temperatures ranged from 773 to 1373$sup 0$K, with aging times of 60 days, 240 days, and 2 y. The desired reaction did not proceed rapidly enough at the aging temperatures to stop T-111 embrittlement. Capsules heated above 1573$sup 0$K for 1 hr showed no signs of embrittlement during aging, even after 2 y at temperatures as high as 1173$sup 0$K. Results with test specimens employing pelletized fuel indicated the solid-state diffusion of oxygen from the fuel to the T-111 was the dominating transport process. In nonpretreated capsules oxygen diffusion in T-111 was the rate-controlling process. Pretreatment does result in the desired thermodynamic equilibrium at temperatures up to at least 1173$sup 0$K.

To simulate braze joints, qualitative x-ray mapping of the elemental interactions between brazing alloys and two common types of stainless steels was performed via the electron microprobe. In general both steels, Types 304L and 21- 6-9, react with a particular brazing alloy in a similar manner, the exceptions being the gold--copper brazing alloys which show deeper penetration into the 21-6- 9 stainless steel.

Considerable success has been achieved this year in research aimed at extending the asymptotic threshold nonlinear theory to plasmas governed by the Vlasov equation and in a group of linear studies concerned with drift instabilities in sheared magnetic fields. The nonlinear results are general and have been applied to the bump-on-tail instability and to the collisionless drift and the dissipative trapped electron instability in unsheared fields. The linear studies have dealt with the effects of resonant electrons, finite collisionality, finite-beta, neoclassical modifications and ion gyro-motion on trapped electron instabilities in sheared magnetic fields.
