Magnetic shielding design analysis (open access)

Magnetic shielding design analysis

Two passive magnetic-shielding-design approaches for static external fields are reviewed. The first approach uses the shielding solutions for spheres and cylinders while the second approach requires solving Maxwell's equations. Experimental data taken at LLNL are compared with the results from these shieldings-design methods, and improvements are recommended for the second method. Design considerations are discussed here along with the importance of material gaps in the shield.

Laser-fusion rocket for interplanetary propulsion (open access)

Laser-fusion rocket for interplanetary propulsion

A rocket powered by fusion microexplosions is well suited for quick interplanetary travel. Fusion pellets are sequentially injected into a magnetic thrust chamber. There, focused energy from a fusion Driver is used to implode and ignite them. Upon exploding, the plasma debris expands into the surrounding magnetic field and is redirected by it, producing thrust. This paper discusses the desired features and operation of the fusion pellet, its Driver, and magnetic thrust chamber. A rocket design is presented which uses slightly tritium-enriched deuterium as the fusion fuel, a high temperature KrF laser as the Driver, and a thrust chamber consisting of a single superconducting current loop protected from the pellet by a radiation shield. This rocket can be operated with a power-to-mass ratio of 110 W gm/sup -1/, which permits missions ranging from occasional 9 day VIP service to Mars, to routine 1 year, 1500 ton, Plutonian cargo runs.

Initial simultaneous Thomson-scattering measurements in the TMX-U tandem mirror (open access)

Initial simultaneous Thomson-scattering measurements in the TMX-U tandem mirror

In this report, we briefly describe the TMX-U Thomson-scattering systems; we compare TMX-U velocity-distribution measurements with computer modeling; and we present and discuss our first simultaneous measurements of end-plug and central-cell electron temperatures.

Tunnel construction for a desertron (open access)

Tunnel construction for a desertron

The tunnel in this model of construction is 3-1/2 feet wide by 5 feet high. It is assumed that the tunnel contains a rail system and guidance system for: (1) An enclosed car used for transport of 2 people and some tools. (2) A magnet mover. This robot could pick up a magnet and transport it at about 10 miles per hour. (3) An alignment robot. The alignment robot would intercept E.M. waves (microwaves, lasers) to determine its position in the tunnel. Then workers could come along inside the tunnel hoop and nail it together and to the floor. The trench would then be back-filled with a 1 foot berm on top. A rail system would be installed and a support stand for the magnet.

300-Area accident analysis for Emergency Planning Zones (open access)

300-Area accident analysis for Emergency Planning Zones

The Department of Energy has requested SRL assistance in developing offsite Emergency Planning Zones (EPZs) for the Savannah River Plant, based on projected dose consequences of atmospheric releases of radioactivity from potential credible accidents in the SRP operating areas. This memorandum presents the assessment of the offsite doses via the plume exposure pathway from the 300-Area potential accidents. 8 refs., 3 tabs.

Design requirement for dual air supplies to melter borescope (open access)

Design requirement for dual air supplies to melter borescope

The long term survivability and usefulness of the melter surface viewing borescopes would be greatly increased if a method of remote lense cleaning was available. The two units to be installed on the DWPF melter will incorporate air cooling and lense purging into their design. At present a single air supply line would serve both needs. Separating the two air services will allow the introduction of water or steam into the purge service. Tests on the prototype borescope at ETF have shown this to be an extremely effective way of cleaning the lense of occasional deposits or splatter. It is recommended that this change be incorporated into the DWPF design.

Damping beam displacements through phase mixing: an illustrative model (open access)

Damping beam displacements through phase mixing: an illustrative model

We develop a simple model of a beam transported in a hard wall channel (an idealized very-high-order magnetic-multipole channel). The extremely anharmonic nature of the potential leads to damping of coherent transverse displacements of the beam via phase mixing. For the case of small uniform displacements of the beam we can write down by inspection the analytical form of the motion of the beam centroid. The same technique allows us to evaluate the effects of focussing and scattering elements in the transport channel upon the damping of the transverse motion of the beam.

Uranium oxidation: characterization of oxides formed by reaction with water (open access)

Uranium oxidation: characterization of oxides formed by reaction with water

Three different uranium oxide samples have been characterized with respect to the different preparation techniques. Results show that the water reaction with uranium metal occurs cyclically forming laminar layers of oxide which spall off due to the strain at the oxide/metal interface. Single laminae are released if liquid water is present due to the prizing penetration at the reaction zone. The rate of reaction of water with uranium is directly proportional to the amount of adsorbed water on the oxide product. Rapid transport is effected through the open hydrous oxide product. Dehydration of the hydrous oxide irreversibly forms a more inert oxide which cannot be rehydrated to the degree that prevails in the original hydrous product of uranium oxidation with water. 27 figures.

Physics of the synchrotron model of cosmic gamma-ray bursts

We review the theoretical arguments leading to the thermal synchrotron model of cosmic gamma-ray bursts. We propose a magnetic flare-resonant absorption mechanism for the production of the hot electrons that can account for most of the unusual properties of the emission layer.

Measurements of the emittance and current density profile of the beam produced by the ATA injector (open access)

Measurements of the emittance and current density profile of the beam produced by the ATA injector

Measurements of the normalized emittance of the beam produced by the Advanced Test Accelerator (ATA) injector yielded values near 0.4 Radian-Centimeters at currents up to 10 kAmps. The instrument was also used to obtain beam-current-density profiles in two dimensions at the entrance mask of the instrument.

Why superferric magnets for a desertron (open access)

Why superferric magnets for a desertron

It has been proposed by R.R. Wilson and L. Lederman that it may be advantageous and cheaper to construct a large accelerator (> 10 TeV) with superferric magnets (approx. 2.5 Tesla). We take as a premise that a sufficiently large piece of land is available for the accelerator (see paper on Site and Tunnel), that is, one is not limited by the radius of the tunnel. The word superferric has been interpreted to mean a super conducting magnet where the coils are used principally to drive the field in the steel. We also add the constraint of simplicity and keep the coil shaped in a rectangle with no more than a few turns.
