Polonium-210 assay using a background-rejecting extractive liquid-scintillation method (open access)

Polonium-210 assay using a background-rejecting extractive liquid-scintillation method

This paper describes a procedure which combines solvent extraction with alpha liquid scintillation spectrometry. Pulse shape discrimination electronics are used to reject beta and gamma pulses and to lower the background count to acceptable levels. Concentration of /sup 210/Po and separation from interferring elements are accomplished using a H/sub 3/Po/sub 4/-HCl solution with TOPO combined with a scintillor in toluene. (DLC)

Polyacetylene and relativistic field-theory models (open access)

Polyacetylene and relativistic field-theory models

Connections between continuum, mean-field, adiabatic Peierls-Froehlich theory in the half-filled band limit and known field theory results are discussed. Particular attention is given to the phi/sup 4/ model and to the solvable N = 2 Gross-Neveu model. The latter is equivalent to the Peierls system at a static, semi-classical level. Based on this equivalence we note the prediction of both kink and polaron solitons in models of trans-(CH)/sub x/. Polarons in cis-(CH)/sub x/ are compared with those in the trans isomer. Optical absorption from polarons is described, and general experimental consequences of polarons in (CH)/sub x/ and other conjugated polymers is discussed.

POLYFAIL: A Program for Identification of Multiple Fuel Failures with Gas Tagging (open access)

POLYFAIL: A Program for Identification of Multiple Fuel Failures with Gas Tagging

This report describes the development of the computer code POLYFAIL for identification of fuel failures in fast reactors or light-water reactors that use gas tagging. POLYFAIL implements a sophisticated numerical algorithm known as the method of barycentric coordinates. The code can treat problems involving up to four simultaneous tag releases in a tagging system characterized by three independent tag ratios. The sensitivity of the multiple-failure-resolution technique has been optimized by incorporation of a newly developed ratio weighting scheme. Several example problems are provided to demonstrate operation of the code under single-leaker and various postulated multiple-leaker situations.

Polyimide and polyamide-imide in a tritium atmosphere (open access)

Polyimide and polyamide-imide in a tritium atmosphere

Five different commercial polyamide-imide and polyimide specimens were kept in a tritium atmosphere (96.9 mol %, 101 kPa, initial fill conditions) for three months. Selected physical and mechanical properties of the five plastics were examined. Mass spectrometric data showed the growth of protium and HT impurity in the tritium gas.

Polymer coating of glass microballoons levitated in a focused acoustic field (open access)

Polymer coating of glass microballoons levitated in a focused acoustic field

Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) glass microballoons (GMBs) levitated in a focusing radiator acoustic device can be coated with liquid materials by deploying the liquid into the levitation field with a stepped-horn atomizer. The GMB can be forced to the center of the coating liquid with a strong acoustically generated centering force. Water solutions of organic polymers, uv-curable liquid organic monomers, and paraffin waxes have been used to prepare solid coatings on the surface of GMBs using this technique.

Polymer concrete pipe for high-temperature corrosive environments (open access)

Polymer concrete pipe for high-temperature corrosive environments

Polymer concrete is a composite material which has strength and durability characteristics greatly superior to those of Portland cement concrete and better durability than steel. Polymer concrete has been successfully tested in brine, flashing brine and steam at temperatures up to 260/sup 0/C. Exposures were as long as 960 days. Glass filament wound polymer concrete pipe was developed with excellent strength, low weight, and a cost comparable to or less than schedule 40 steel. Connections can be made with slip joints for low pressure applications and flanged joints for high pressure applications.

Portable neutron measurement technique for the assay of /sup 235/U in LWR fuel assemblies (open access)

Portable neutron measurement technique for the assay of /sup 235/U in LWR fuel assemblies

An active neutron interrogation technique has been developed for the measurement of the /sup 235/U content in fresh fuel assemblies. The method employs an AmLi neutron source to induce fission reactions in the fuel assembly and coincidence counting of the resulting fission reaction neutrons. When no interrogation source is present, the passive neutron coincidence rate gives a measure of the /sup 238/U via the spontaneous fission reactions. The system can be applied to the fissile content determination in HWR, BWR, and LWR fuel assemblies for accountability, criticality control, and safeguards purposes.

[Portrait of Pastor Dan Lauderdale and Family]

Studio portrait photograph of the Lauderdale family in front of a cloudy, brown backdrop. The man in the very back who stands above the rest is Pastor Dan Lauderdale. He wears a striped red shirt with white trim accents on his collar and sleeves. The older woman whose hair has been pulled back and pinned with flowers is Pastor Dan Lauderdale's mother, Dorothy Galbraith Lauderdale. Cindy Lauderdale is seated on the right and wears a red gingham dress. She is Pastor Dan's wife. Their two children are in the front, Rachel and Tabitha; however, these names have not been matched properly to their individual positions.

Position diagnostics for a magnetic-pinch imploding-cylinder x-ray generator (open access)

Position diagnostics for a magnetic-pinch imploding-cylinder x-ray generator

For the diagnostic instrumentation of an imploding cylindrical plasma intended as a prototype for a high-intensity flash x-ray source, two systems have been developed which employ batteries of inexpensive 1.2-ns (FWHM) nitrogen lasers fired in sequence during the approx.2-..mu..s period of the implosion. Four pinhole-schlieren paraxial photographs are taken, and eight radial profiles are obtained using a novel position-sensitive detector based on a fluorescent plastic-fiber optical delay line.

Post-test analysis of dryout test 7B' of the W-1 Sodium Loop Safety Facility Experiment with the SABRE-2P code. [LMFBR] (open access)

Post-test analysis of dryout test 7B' of the W-1 Sodium Loop Safety Facility Experiment with the SABRE-2P code. [LMFBR]

An understanding of conditions that may cause sodium boiling and boiling propagation that may lead to dryout and fuel failure is crucial in liquid-metal fast-breeder reactor safety. In this study, the SABRE-2P subchannel analysis code has been used to analyze the ultimate transient of the in-core W-1 Sodium Loop Safety Facility experiment. This code has a 3-D simple nondynamic boiling model which is able to predict the flow instability which caused dryout. In other analyses dryout has been predicted for out-of-core test bundles and so this study provides additional confirmation of the model.

Posttest analysis of international standard problem 10 using RELAP4/MOD7. [PWR] (open access)

Posttest analysis of international standard problem 10 using RELAP4/MOD7. [PWR]

RELAP4/MOD7, a best estimate computer code for the calculation of thermal and hydraulic phenomena in a nuclear reactor or related system, is the latest version in the RELAP4 code development series. This paper evaluates the capability of RELAP4/MOD7 to calculate refill/reflood phenomena. This evaluation uses the data of International Standard Problem 10, which is based on West Germany's KWU PKL refill/reflood experiment K9A. The PKL test facility represents a typical West German four-loop, 1300 MW pressurized water reactor (PWR) in reduced scale while maintaining prototypical volume-to-power ratio. The PKL facility was designed to specifically simulate the refill/reflood phase of a hypothetical loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA).
