EMP protection procedure for electrical/electronic systems (open access)

EMP protection procedure for electrical/electronic systems

This paper presents a procedure for the protection engineer to follow in assessing a system with respect to its susceptibility to an electromagnetic pulse (EMP), and in determining whether the system requires protection. If the system is determined to be vulnerable to EMP, the procedure also indicates how to decide upon the most suitable protection scheme. The discussion centers on two flow charts, which illustrate the step-by-step procedure which utilizes the necessary ingredients of EMP protection engineering discussed in a previous paper. The description of the protection procedure is divided into two parts: the first dealing with issues on the macroscopic or large-scale system level, while the second is concerned with operations on the subsystem level or lower.

Predicting explosion-generated permeability around geothermal wells (open access)

Predicting explosion-generated permeability around geothermal wells

A theoretical expression showing the radial dependence of permeability in geologic media as a function of the distance from the point of detonation has been derived. This relationship shows that created permeability decreases as a function of radius (1/r/sup 5/ around a spherical blast and 1/r/sup 4/ around a cylindrical shot). Excellent correlation was found when this prediction was compared with permeability measurements made around the site of the Hardhat nuclear event fired in granodiorite and a chemical explosive detonated in coal.

Certification of packagings: compliance with DOT specification 7A packaging requirements (open access)

Certification of packagings: compliance with DOT specification 7A packaging requirements

A study was conducted to determine which of the packagings currently listed in CFR 49 Section 173.395 a.1-5, meet the Specification 7A requirements (CFR 49 Section 173.350). According to DOT HM-111 the present listing of various authorized DOT specifications in Section 173.394 and Section 173.395 (Type A containers) of ICC Tariff No. 27 would be deleted with complete reliance being placed on the use of DOT 7A, Type A general packaging specification. Each user of a Specification 7A package would be required to document and maintain on file for one year a written record of his determination of compliance with the DOT Specification 7A performance requirements. All the specification packagings listed in CFR 49 Section 173.395a.1-5 were tested and shown to meet the Specification 7A criteria; however, in many cases qualifications were placed on their use. Forty-nine specification packagings were tested and shown to meet the DOT Specification 7A performance requirements and since there were several styles of some specific packagings, this amounts to greater than 80 packagings. The extensive testing generally indicated a high degree of containment integrity in the packagings tested and the documentation discussed is a valuable tool for shippers of Type A quantities of radioactive materials. …

Hawaii technology utilization experiment (open access)

Hawaii technology utilization experiment

A one-year technology-transfer project involving ERDA installations and Hawaii consisted of sending teams from the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory on week-long field trips every two months to test the effectiveness of different methods of transferring technology information from federal sources to civilian clients. The team was questioned primarily on non-energy matters, and the energy questions asked related mostly to individuals or small industries. The team responed to all questions and found that a wide range of knowledge was more effective than having a sequence of experts. Hawaiians considered current major ERDA projects to be irrelevant to their needs. The team was most successful on a one-to-one basis because large groups and state agencies tend to be more policy- than action-oriented. Personal followup was considered essential. The team also learned that their visits generated ten times as many inquiries as were received unsolicited by the laboratory. Most inquiries involved biomass and use of agricultural wastes, solar energy, and transportation. An important contribution of the team's workshops was linking groups to work together on common problems. An appendix lists the subjects of queries and the names and addresses of consortium participants and Hawaiian contacts. (DCK)

Low-Cost Silicon Solar Array project (LSSA). Quarterly report, April 1976--June 1976 (open access)

Low-Cost Silicon Solar Array project (LSSA). Quarterly report, April 1976--June 1976

Activities and progress of the LSSA Project during April, May, and June 1976 are described. This involved the awarding of additional contracts, an evaluation and clarification of plans and working relationships with contractors, the receipt of initial technical results, and an expansion of activity in the evaluation and improvement of the solar cell modules that are included in the Project's first procurement (46 kilowatts). For the most part, the new manufacturing technology is being developed under contract by industries and universities. It includes the consideration of new silicon-refinement processes, silicon sheet-growth techniques, encapsulants, and automated-assembly production. During this report period analytical and experimental accomplishments resulted from day-to-day activities that are the early efforts of a long range plan. Thirty-one contracts have been awarded and two more are being negotiated. Five companies have delivered 20 kilowatts out of a total purchase of 46 kilowatts of ''off-the-shelf'' modules that will be used in ERDA's test and demonstration activities. The same five companies have just been awarded contracts for the purchase of 130 kilowatts of semistandardized modules at an average selling price of $15.50 per watt. (WDM)

Age-dependent radiosensitivity of mouse oocytes (open access)

Age-dependent radiosensitivity of mouse oocytes

It has been shown that there are three distinct phases of radiosensitivity in oocytes of prepubertal mice: a period of rapidly increasing sensitivity between 0 and 4 days of age; a period of consistent, high sensitivity between 5 and 18 days of age; and a period of decreasing sensitivity from 19 to at least 21 days of age. Two distinct phases have been demonstrated for the rate of population decline of the oocytes of primary follicles: an initial period of rapid loss from 0 to 4 days of age; and a period of much slower loss from 5 through 23 days of age. Correlations have been drawn between the first two phases of radiosensitivity and morphological changes in the oocyte, and between the third phase of radiosensitivity and endocrinological changes in the maturing animal. The reaction of oocytes to radiation has been separated into two categories: immediate death (within 24 hours); and delayed death (over the entire lifespan of the animal). (auth)

Catastrophe theory. Part I. Mathematical aspects (open access)

Catastrophe theory. Part I. Mathematical aspects

This reasonably self-contained report on Catastrophe Theory begins with the mathematical history of Catastrophe Theory and discusses the relation between Catastrophe Theory and the ''Catastrophe Theorem'' presented in the report. Catastrophe Theory consists of a ''local'' classification theorem for unfoldings of germ singularities, which satisfy certain conditions. The ''classification'' is a list of seven (nonsimilar) irreducible unfoldings (and their respective germs), such that the given unfolding must be reduced with index zero to exactly one of these (or to the ''constant'' unfolding of the same unfolding dimension). The Catastrophe Theorem is stated (together with background definitions and commentary) and a summary of the proof of this theorem is given. 6 tables. (RWR)

Natural frequency analysis of the BIPS (open access)

Natural frequency analysis of the BIPS

A dynamic model was set up to determine the fundamental frequencies of the BIPS. The model consists of a radiator which supports four discrete masses by means of interface structures. Various materials and several different sizes of interface structures were used in the analysis. The fundamental frequencies vary from 38 cps to 227 cps dependent upon the material and the size of interface structure. The built-in strength of all the interface structures are in excess of the 25 g's limit loading criteria.

Measurements of neutron-induced fission cross-section ratios involving isotopes of uranium and plutonium. [0. 001 to 30 MeV, cross sections] (open access)

Measurements of neutron-induced fission cross-section ratios involving isotopes of uranium and plutonium. [0. 001 to 30 MeV, cross sections]

A procedure, called the threshold cross section method was applied to our experimental data involving four uranium (/sup 233/U /sup 234/U, /sup 236/U, and /sup 238/U) and five plutonium (/sup 239/Pu, /sup 240/Pu, /sup 241/Pu, /sup 242/Pu, and /sup 244/Pu) isotopes to determine ratios of fission cross sections relative to /sup 235/U. The data were gathered using ionization fission chambers and the time-of-flight technique at the LLL 100-MeV electron linear accelerator: measurements span the neutron energy range of 0.001 to 30 MeV. Experimental uncertainties common to past measurements were either eliminated or significantly reduced in this study by use of the threshold method, thereby making higher accuracies possible. The cross section ratios are absolute in the sense that they do not depend on the work of others. Results from our ratios involving /sup 233/U, /sup 235/U, /sup 238/U, and /sup 239/Pu are used to illustrate this method.

Calibration of thin film EMP sensors by AFWL Coaxial Chamber (open access)

Calibration of thin film EMP sensors by AFWL Coaxial Chamber

Preliminary EMP calibration data on magnetic thin film current sensors has been obtained. The Air Force Weapon Lab's Coaxial Chamber was used as the EMP standard and a current pulse width of 40 ns was used. It was found that the sensitivity of the sensors can be increased by controlling the width of the 90/sup 0/ wall strip and that the current scales for the sensors were linear. The results strongly suggest that the dimensions of the sensors can be varied to meet different measurement requirements.

Semi-automated x-ray gauging process control system. [For pressed-material components] (open access)

Semi-automated x-ray gauging process control system. [For pressed-material components]

An x-ray gauging method was developed and a production gauging system was subsequently fabricated to control the quality of precision manufactured components. The gauging system measures via x-ray absorption the density of pressed finely divided solids held in a dissimilar container. The two dissimilar materials condition necessitated a ''two scan'' technique: first, the x-ray attenuation (absorption) of the empty container prior to loading and then, the attenuation of the loaded container are measured; that is, four variables. The system provided greatly improved product control via timely data feedback and increased product quality assurance via 100 percent inspection of product. In addition, it reduced labor costs, product cost, and possibilities for human errors.
