Development and evaluation of systems for controlling parallel high di/dt thyratrons (open access)

Development and evaluation of systems for controlling parallel high di/dt thyratrons

Increasing numbers of high power, high repetition rate applications dictate the use or thyratrons in multiple of hard parallel configurations to achieve the required rate of current rise, di/dt. This in turn demands the development of systems to control parallel thyratron commutation with nanosecond accuracy. Such systems must be capable of real-time, fully-automated control in multi-kilohertz applications while still remaining cost effective. This paper describes the evolution of such a control methodology and system.

Role of water in energy development (open access)

Role of water in energy development

One consequence of the recently increasing emphasis on energy development is public concern about the adequacy of ancillary natural resources, particularly water. This concern accompanies other water-related issues such as droughts, decling water tables, and increasing urbanization. But as the relatively new user on the water scene, energy attracts a major share of public attention. The physical availabiltiy of water and the role of economics in water demand by energy are reviewed. Also described are the social mechanisms through which the physical availability of water, the historical pattern of water use, and unresolved water issues combine to constrain and channel the energy industry's use of water. These mechanisms include the developing markets for water rights, the legal and administrative structure governing water allocation, the formation of social attidudes about water, and the political process that often implements concensus. The narrow physical interpretation commonly given to the question Is there enough water is broadened to include the social dimension, the most important component of the quenstion.

Review of ORNL-TSF shielding experiments for the gas-cooled Fast Breeder Reactor Program (open access)

Review of ORNL-TSF shielding experiments for the gas-cooled Fast Breeder Reactor Program

During the period between 1975 and 1980 a series of experiments was performed at the ORNL Tower Shielding Facility in support of the shield design for a 300-MW(e) Gas Cooled Fast Breeder Demonstration Plant. This report reviews the experiments and calculations, which included studies of: (1) neutron streaming in the helium coolant passageways in the GCFR core; (2) the effectiveness of the shield designed to protect the reactor grid plate from radiation damage; (3) the adequacy of the radial shield in protecting the PCRV (prestressed concrete reactor vessel) from radiation damage; (4) neutron streaming between abutting sections of the radial shield; and (5) the effectiveness of the exit shield in reducing the neutron fluxes in the upper plenum region of the reactor.

RFQ development at LBL (open access)

RFQ development at LBL

The radio frequency quadrupole (FRQ) is a structure which can efficiently focus, bunch and accelerate low velocity ion beams. It has many features which make it particularly attractive for applications in the biomedical and nuclear sciences. There are two projects in progress at LBL where the incorporation of heavy ion RFQ technology offers substantial benefits: in the upgrade of the Bevatron local injector, and in the design of a dedicated heavy ion medical accelerator. In order to meet the requirements of these two important applications, a 200 MHz RFQ structure has been designed for ions with charge to mass ratios as low as 0.14, and a low rf power scale model has been built and tested. Construction of the high power model has begun. The status of this project is reviewed and a summary of technical specifications given.

An Investigation of the Management Accounting Framework for Performance Evaluation in American Multinational Enterprises (open access)

An Investigation of the Management Accounting Framework for Performance Evaluation in American Multinational Enterprises

The development of adequate performance evaluation techniques for appraising foreign subsidiaries and their managers in an environment different from their domestic ones has been suggested as an area where management accounting should be extended. This study concerned the performance evaluation of foreign subsidiary managers with the following objectives: (1) to examine the relationships among environmental factors and foreign subsidiary performance, (2) to develop a multinational enterprise (MNE) environmental model to evaluate the performance of subsidiary managers on the basis of controllable factors only, and (3) to test the model in American multinational enterprises for the existence of association among environmental factors and measured performance of foreign subsidiaries. The research method employed in this study was to test for association between noncontrollable environmental factors of a particular foreign country and measured performance of the foreign subsidiary (in terms of ROI) in that particular country. Major noncontrollable factor groups used were economic, political-legal, educational, and social environmental constraints.

Debris-bed cooling following an HCDA in a fast reactor. Annual progress report (open access)

Debris-bed cooling following an HCDA in a fast reactor. Annual progress report

Natural convection within simulated core debris beds has been investigated experimentally and numerically. The objectives of this research have been: (1) to develop a three-dimensional transient model for analyzing single-phase cooling of debris beds; (2) to validate the model using out-of-pile simulant experiments which measure the detailed structure of the convection cells within the bed as well as integral heat transfer rates; and (3) to apply the model to typical core debris beds over a wide range of parameters in order to determine the relative importance of conduction and convection in sodium-cooled debris beds. The bed has been simulated using directly heated two-dimensional packed tube bundles of different particle diameters, bed loadings, porosities, heat generation rates, and overlaying fluid layer heights. Detailed velocity and temperature profiles within the bed and overlaying fluid have been measured using particle tracing techniques and Mach-Zehnder interferometry. Measurements of the downward and upward power fractions and Nusselt numbers over a wide range of experimental variables have been made. The data have been compared with predictions of the transient three-dimensional natural convection computer code COMMIX-1A. 14 figures.

Social Control in the Newsroom: A Case Study (open access)

Social Control in the Newsroom: A Case Study

The problem of this study is to investigate how news policy in the Denton Record-Chronicle is defined and maintained and whether the newspaper staffers tend to conform to or conflict with the newspaper's news policy. The study suggests that the more experienced the staffer, the more likely he will conflict with the newspaper's news policy, and the less experienced the staffer, the more likely he will conform to the newspaper's news policy. Social control is in the hand of the newspaper organization. That is, the newspaper tends to control the mechanisms of social control. However, unless the newspaper recognizes the needs of the staffers' participation in its editorial decision, conflict may continue to be an important factor in the newsroom work-setting.

Engineering testing requirements in FED/INTOR (open access)

Engineering testing requirements in FED/INTOR

The FED/INTOR critical issues activity has addressed three key testing requirements that have the largest impact on the design, operation and cost of FED/INTOR. These are: (1) the total testing time (fluence) during the device lifetime, (2) the minimum number of back-to-back cycles, and (3) the neutron wall load (power density in the first wall/blanket). The testing program activities were structured into three tasks in order to define the benefits, and in some cases, costs and risks of these testing requirements. The three tasks were carried out with wide participation of experts from a number of organizations in the United States. Similar effort was performed by Japan, the European Community and the Soviet Union.

Curvature-driven instabilities in the Elmo Bumpy Torus (EBT) (open access)

Curvature-driven instabilities in the Elmo Bumpy Torus (EBT)

Curvature-driven instabilities are analyzed for an EBT configuration which consists of plasma interacting with a hot electron ring whose drift frequencies are larger than the growth rates predicted from conventional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) theory. Stability criteria are obtained for five possible modes: the conventional hot electron interchange, a high-frequency hot electron interchange (at frequencies greater than the ion-cyclotron frequency), a compressional instability, a background plasma interchange, and an interacting pressure-driven interchange. A wide parameter regime for stable operation is found, which, however, severely deteriorates for a band of intermediate mode numbers. Finite Larmor radius effects can eliminate this deterioration; moreover, all short-wavelength curvature-driven modes are stabilized if the hot electron Larmor radius rho/sub h/ satisfies (kappa/sub perpendicular/rho/sub h/)/sup 2/ > 2..delta../(R..beta../sub h/(1 + P'/sub parallel//P'/sub perpendicular/)), where kappa/sub perpendicular/ is the transverse wavenumber, ..delta.. is the ring half-width, R is the mid-plane radius of curvature, ..beta../sub h/ is the hot electron beta value, and P' is the pressure gradient. Resonant wave-particle instabilities predicted by a new low frequency variational principle show that a variety of remnant instabilities may still persist.

Measurement of nu/sub e/ and anti nu/sub e/ elastic scattering as a test of the standard model (open access)

Measurement of nu/sub e/ and anti nu/sub e/ elastic scattering as a test of the standard model

Various tests of standard SU(2) x U(1) model of weak interactions which can be performed by measurements of electron and muon neutrino-electron elastic scattering are reviewed. Electron neutrino-electron elastic scattering has both a neutral current part as well as a charged current part, and therefore offers a unique place to measure the interference of these two amplitudes. A measurement of the y-dependence of neutrino-electron elastic scattering can separately measure g/sub V/ and g/sub A/ as well as test for the presence of S, P, or T terms. Several measurable quantities involving cross sections and the interference term are derived from the standard model. Various design considerations for an experiment to determine the NC-CC interference term and the y-dependence of muon neutrino-electron elastic scattering are discussed.

Emanation of tritiated water from disposal sites at Los Alamos, New Mexico (open access)

Emanation of tritiated water from disposal sites at Los Alamos, New Mexico

The level of contamination induced by the presence of tritiated water (HTO) on the Bandelier tuff near Los Alamos, New Mexico has been seen to decrease vertically and horizontally at the same rate. This decrease in radioactivity with distance from the source has been measured around three different disposal shafts and found to be somewhat slower than the decrease in emanation rate with distance from the source. Physical factors, suspected of influencing HTO emanation, were entered as independent variables in a regression equation including measurements taken over a 14 month period. The physical variables studied were of thermal, hydrological, and meteorological origin or a combination of the above. Only four variables were retained as significant although they explained only 71% of the variation in the HTO flux.

Locus of Control and Adjustment to Retirement (open access)

Locus of Control and Adjustment to Retirement

Locus of desired control and participation in a retirement preparation program was investigated in relation to retirement attitudes and adjustment. Fifty-nine subjects, consisting of older workers and retirees from a large southwestern corporation, comprised the sample. An experimental group, consisting of 12 subjects, completed questionnaires prior to and following their participation in the retirement preparation program. A control group, consisting of 15 subjects, completed the same questionnaires at approximately the same times as did the experimental group, but did not receive retirement preparation. A third group, consisting of 20 retirees who had a previous retirement preparation experience and 12 retirees who had not had such a retirement preparation experience, completed similar questionnaires.
