Computer simulation of LMFBR piping systems. [Accident conditions] (open access)

Computer simulation of LMFBR piping systems. [Accident conditions]

Integrity of piping systems is one of the main concerns of the safety issues of Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors (LMFBR). Hypothetical core disruptive accidents (HCDA) and water-sodium interaction are two examples of sources of high pressure pulses that endanger the integrity of the heat transport piping systems of LMFBRs. Although plastic wall deformation attenuates pressure peaks so that only pressures slightly higher than the pipe yield pressure propagate along the system, the interaction of these pulses with the different components of the system, such as elbows, valves, heat exchangers, etc.; and with one another produce a complex system of pressure pulses that cause more plastic deformation and perhaps damage to components. A generalized piping component and a tee branching model are described. An optional tube bundle and interior rigid wall simulation model makes such a generalized component model suited for modelling of valves, reducers, expansions, and heat exchangers. The generalized component and the tee branching junction models are combined with the pipe-elbow loop model so that a more general piping system can be analyzed both hydrodynamically and structurally under the effect of simultaneous pressure pulses.

Uranium hydrogeochemical and stream sediment reconnaissance in Lincoln and Flathead Counties, northwest Montana (open access)

Uranium hydrogeochemical and stream sediment reconnaissance in Lincoln and Flathead Counties, northwest Montana

Between mid-May and late June 1976, 3409 water and water-transported sediment samples were collected from 1781 locations spread over an approximate 17000-km/sup 2/ area of northwestern Montana. All of the samples were analyzed for total uranium at the LASL, using standardized procedures and rigorous quality controls, the waters by fluorometry and the sediment (and those waters with greater than 10 ppb uranium) by delayed-neutron counting methods. All of the field collection, treatment, and packaging of the samples was performed following strict LASL specifications. The uranium concentrations measured in the waters range from undetectable (less than 0.2) ppb to 173.6 ppb, but average only 0.66 ppb. The low uranium concentrations in the waters of this area are thought to be due primarily to a general lack of readily soluble uranium and dilution with spring runoff. Those locations which did have abnormally high uranium were examined more closely, and follow-up field examinations are recommended in the vicinity of some of these sites. The uranium content of the sediment samples range from 0.5 ppM to 52.2 ppM and average 4.56 ppM. Sample locations with high and/or anomalous uranium values were examined with respect to the local geology, water chemistry, and other relevant factors. …

Hydraulic fracture experiments in GT-1 and GT-2 (open access)

Hydraulic fracture experiments in GT-1 and GT-2

Hydraulic fracturing experiments were conducted in granite rock, at temperatures near 100 and 150/sup 0/C, in two wells 0.785 km (2575 ft) and 1.98 km (6500 ft) deep near Los Alamos, New Mexico. No unusual difficulty was observed in fracturing crystalline rock hydraulically. The apparent surface energy (energy required to create new fracture surface by breaking the rock) was measured as 100 J/m/sup 2/. Orientation of the deeper fracture was measured as N35/sup 0/E (+-5/sup 0/). The fraction of fluid injected into the rock that could be recovered at hydrostatic surface pressure was measured. The efficiency of recovery was as high as 92 percent after the fracture impedance was lowered by ''propping'' the fracture with sand. Permeability of the rock over the face of the fracture was compatible with laboratory measurements (10/sup -7/ to 10/sup -8/ darcys). Downhole pressures required to extend the fractures were about 150 and 340 bars (2175 and 4900 psi), respectively.

BNL Archive and Dissemination System. [For accessing data files constructed at separate places and times] (open access)

BNL Archive and Dissemination System. [For accessing data files constructed at separate places and times]

The Brookhaven National Laboratory Archive and Dissemination System (BNLADS) is designed to deal with the record keeping associated with archiving and disseminating sequential files through a computer network. This data base management system (DBMS) is implemented in a host language that is a subset of PL/I. The stored sequential files that can be dealt with by the BNLADS must be in character mode (ASCII, BCD, EBCDIC). The accessing of fields is specified by a format description which allows for forward processing of fields only. The structure of a case type statement allows for a data field determining a format sequence from a set of format sequences. A data description language (DDL) was devised to describe the accessing sequence of stored sequential files. A data model definition gives the user a view of the content of each stored sequential file. The DDL requires all field type references to contain the field name, so that the BNLADS can access all stored sequential files by logical field name and can write stored sequential files by stating the logical field name without the necessity of referring to formats. The BNLADS is architected in a stratified form in which the application programs are built on …

Growth of molten core debris pools in concrete. Progress report, March 1, 1977--November 30, 1977. [LMFBR] (open access)

Growth of molten core debris pools in concrete. Progress report, March 1, 1977--November 30, 1977. [LMFBR]

Experiments have been conducted using a volumetrically-heated pool with noncondensable gas injection at the boundaries to simulate the heat transfer processes taking place in molten core debris/concrete systems. Measurements of the upward, downward, and sideward heat transfer rates have been made over wide ranges of internal Rayleigh number (6.0 x 10/sup 5/ < Ra < 2.7 x 10/sup 9/), superficial gas velocity (0 < V/sub g/ < 2.5 cm/min), and pool aspect ratio (1.32 < W/L < 5.16). Pools with either an isothermal solid upper boundary or a free surface have been examined. Detailed measurements of the temperature distribution within the pools have also been made. The results indicate that the downward heat transfer rates are significantly increased while the sideward heat transfer rates are slightly affected by gas injection. The heat transfer rates at the pool boundaries are sensitive to the upper surface boundary condition. Efforts are continuing on the second part of the present study where the phase-change and gas evolution processes are combined.

Important aspects of radiation shielding for fusion reactor tokamaks (open access)

Important aspects of radiation shielding for fusion reactor tokamaks

Radiation shielding is a key subsystem in tokamak reactors. Design of this shield must evolve from economic and technological trade-off studies that account for the strong interrelations among the various components of the reactor system. These trade-offs are examined for the bulk shield on the inner side of the torus and for the special shields of major penetrations. Results derived are applicable for a large class of tokamak-type reactors.

Radiation considerations for superconducting fusion magnets (open access)

Radiation considerations for superconducting fusion magnets

Radiation environment for the magnets is characterized for various conditions expected for tokamak power reactor operation. The radiation levels are translated into radiation effects using available experimental data. The impact of the tradeoffs in radiation shielding and the change in the properties of the superconducting magnets on reactor performance and economics is examined. It is shown that (1) superconducting magnets in fusion reactors will operate at much higher radiation level than was previously anticipated; (2) additional data on radiation damage is required to better accuracy than is presently available in order to accurately quantify the change in properties in the superconducting magnet components; and (3) there is a substantial penalty for increasing (or overestimating) the shielding requirements. A perspective of future tokamak power reactors is presented and questions relating to desirable magnetic field strength and selection of materials for superconducting magnets are briefly examined.

Impact of Major Design Parameters on the Economics of Tokamak Power Plants (open access)

Impact of Major Design Parameters on the Economics of Tokamak Power Plants

A parametric systems studies program is now in an active stage at Argonne National Laboratory. This paper presents a summary of results from this systems analysis effort. The impact of major design parameters on the economics of tokamak power plants is examined. The major parameters considered are: (1) the plant power rating; (2) toroidal-field strength; (3) plasma ..beta../sub t/; (4) aspect ratio; (5) plasma elongation; (6) inner blanket/shield thickness; and (7) neutron wall load. The performance characteristics and economics of tokamak power plants are also compared for two structural materials (stainless steel and a vanadium alloy).

A Description and Analysis of the Channels of Distribution for Food Products in the State of Kuwait (open access)

A Description and Analysis of the Channels of Distribution for Food Products in the State of Kuwait

This study is intended, first, to describe and analyze the channels of distribution for food products in the State of Kuwait, second, to pinpoint the problems that exist in the food-distribution system, and, third, to make specific recommendations for the alleviation of the problems. Consistent with the objectives of the study and based on the description and analysis of the food-distribution system in the country, it is concluded in the study that Kuwait depends on imports for virtually all of its food; the government plays a major role in the food-distribution system; and the majority of food wholesaling and retailing establishments are small, inefficient, and lack modern marketing and physical distribution techniques. Product shortages and rising food prices plague the food-distribution system in the country. Also, the findings indicate that consumers in Kuwait are generally ignorant and uninformed in the areas of food nutrition and food shopping, and the lack of standardization and grading of food products makes the shopping task of the consumer more difficult.

Speciation studies of radionuclides in low level wastes and process waters from pressurized water reactor (open access)

Speciation studies of radionuclides in low level wastes and process waters from pressurized water reactor

Physicochemical characterization studies of aqueous process streams at San Onofre Generating Station Unit No. 1 are providing important source term information concerning the forms of radionuclides being released into the marine environment. The primary coolant, secondary steam condensate, processed low level wastes and tertiary coolant were sampled at several different times in the nuclear fuel cycle. Rdionuclides were partitioned into particulate, cationic, anionic, and nonionic species in the reactor process streams, and into particulate and soluble species in the tertiary seawater coolant. Characterization of the particulate species has included a detailed size distribution. The purpose of this research was to provide information concerning chemical and physical forms of the radionuclides being released to the coastal zone from a nuclear generating station in order to facilitate design of radiobiological studies necessary for assessment of their environmental significance.
