Analysis of cracked core spray injection line piping from the Quad Cities Units 1 and 2 boiling water reactors

Elbow assemblies and adjacent piping from the loops A and B core spray injection lines of Quad Cities Units 1 and 2 Boiling Water Reactors have been examined in order to determine the nature and causes of coolant leakages and flaw indications detected during hydrostatic tests and subsequent ultrasonic inspections. The elbow assemblies were found to contain multiple intergranular cracks in the weld heat-affected zones. The cracking was predominantly axial in orientation in the forged elbow and wedge components, whereas mixed axial and circumferential cracking was seen in the wrought piping pieces. In at least two instances, axial cracks completely penetrated the circumferential weld joining adjacent components. Based upon the observations made in the present study, the failures were attributed to intergranular stress corrosion cracking caused by the weld-induced sensitized microstructure and residual stresses present; dissolved oxygen in the reactor coolant apparently served as the corrosive species. The predominantly axial orientation of the cracks present in the forged components is believed to be related to the banded microstructure present in these components. The metallographic studies reported are supplemented by x-radiography, chemical analysis and mechanical test results, determinations of the degree of sensitization present, and measurements of weld metal delta ferrite …

Analysis of potential combustion source impacts on acid deposition using an independently derived inventory. Volume I

This project had three major objectives. The first objective was to develop a fossil fuel combustion source inventory (NO/sub x/, SO/sub x/, and hydrocarbon emissions) that would be relatively easy to use and update for analyzing the impact of combustion emissions on acid deposition in the eastern United States. The second objective of the project was to use the inventory data as a basis for selection of a number of areas that, by virtue of their importance in the acid rain issue, could be further studied to assess the impact of local and intraregional combustion sources. The third objective was to conduct an analysis of wet deposition monitoring data in the areas under study, along with pertinent physical characteristics, meteorological conditions, and emission patterns of these areas, to investigate probable relationships between local and intraregional combustion sources and the deposition of acidic material. The combustion source emissions inventory has been developed for the eastern United States. It characterizes all important area sources and point sources on a county-by-county basis. Its design provides flexibility and simplicity and makes it uniquely useful in overall analysis of emission patterns in the eastern United States. Three regions with basically different emission patterns have been …

Analysis of potential combustion source impacts on acid deposition using an independently derived inventory. Volume II, appendices

This document contains 2 appendices. The first documents the methodologies used to calculate production, unit energy consumption, fuel type and emission estimates for 16 industries and 35 types of facilities utilizing direct-fired industrial combustion processes, located in 26 states (and the District of Columbia) east of the Mississippi River. As discussed in the text of this report, a U.S. total of 16 industries and 45 types of facilities utilizing direct-fired combustion processes were identified by an elimination type method that was developed based on evaluation of fuel use in industrial SIC codes 20-39 to identify pollutant sources contributing to acid rain. The final population included only plants that have direct-fired fuel consumption greater than or equal to 100 x 10/sup 9/ Btu/yr of equivalent energy consumption. The goal for this analysis was to provide at least a 1980 base year for the data. This was achieved for all of the industries and in fact, 1981 data were used for a number of the industries evaluated. The second contains an analysis of all consumption of major fossil fuels to: (1) identify all fuel usage categories, and (2) identify the kinds of combustion equipment used within each category. This analysis provides a …

Analysis of production data from the Krafla geothermal field, Iceland

The analysis of flow rate and enthalpy data from several wells completed in the same two-phase zone of Krafla geothermal reservoir has yielded consistent relative permeability parameters. It is found that k/sub rl/ + k/sub rv/ = 1 over the entire range of two-phase flow conditions from immobile liquid to immobile vapor. The available data provide relative permeability parameters as a function of flowing enthalpy only. The relationship between flowing enthalpy and in-place vapor saturation remains unknown, so that the relative permeability information obtained is of limited value for quantitative modeling of geothermal reservoir performance. Numerical simulation of flow rate and enthalpy transients has yielded excellent matches to production data from well 12. However, there is little information about the reservoir which can be deduced in an unambiguous way, because the field data could be matched with a variety of rather different parameter choices. The only unambiguous piece of information obtained is that the water injected into the well during drilling and completion remains in the vicinity of the wellbore during several weeks of warmup.

Aspects of the dynamics of heavy-quark systems

The analysis of bound states composed of heavy quarks and antiquarks has provided a window into the structure of the strong interactions. These systems contain our best evidence that the quarks from which the hadrons are built are ordinary fermions which obey the Dirac equation and which couple to electromagnetism just as electrons do. However, the heavy-quark systems which have been studied to date, the systems of c- anti c and b- anti b bound states, seem to be bound by forces which bear no obvious relation to the gluons which we expect are the fundamental mediators of the strong interactions. The essential difficulty in understanding this connection arises from the fact that the c- anti c and b- anti b systems occupy an intermediate regime in the behavior of the gauge theory. At very small distances the q- anti q potential is expected to become a Coulomb potential, directly reflecting one-gluon exchange. At very large distances, the potential should be proportional to the q- anti q separation, reflecting the formation of confining strings of color flux. For a proper understanding, one would need to see precisely how the collective behavior of gluons modifies and alters single gluon effects. We …

Assessment of thermal storage systems and thermomechanical effects for pulsed reactors

Pulsed operation of fusion power plants has severe impact on all major reactor components. This analysis focuses on the sensitivity of one subsystem, the breeding blanket, to pulsed operation in terms of thermal storage requirements and thermomechanical effects. For analysis, a water-cooled Li/sub 2/O breeding blanket (400 MWth, 3.45 MW/m/sup 2/ neutron wall loading) was chosen. With the operating temperature window, 800/410/sup 0/C for Li/sub 2/O, thermal analysis shows that for the coolant-in-tube design (STARFIRE) there would be 10 rows of coolant tubes in the radial direction of the blanket. Since the thermal inertia of the blanket is larger further away from the first wall, the mixed mean temperature of coolant from all regions will dictate the design requirements for the thermal storage system. Three representative blanket regions were analyzed under four burn scenarios (startup/shutdown time = 10 s, steady-state time = 3600 s, and dwell time = 0, 30, 90, and 200 s) to estimate the thermal storage requirements. The size of the thermal storage system is dictated primarily by the energy deficiency that occurs during the dwell/startup and shutdown phase, although time/temperature response of the heat transfer fluid is critical to the design. Only pressurized water/steam and hot …

Assessment of tritium breeding requirements for fusion power reactors

This report presents an assessment of tritium-breeding requirements for fusion power reactors. The analysis is based on an evaluation of time-dependent tritium inventories in the reactor system. The method presented can be applied to any fusion systems in operation on a steady-state mode as well as on a pulsed mode. As an example, the UWMAK-I design was analyzed and it has been found that the startup inventory requirement calculated by the present method significantly differs from those previously calculated. The effect of reactor-parameter changes on the required tritium breeding ratio is also analyzed for a variety of reactor operation scenarios.

Attenuation mechanisms in the transport of in-vessel radiological source term fission products in an LMFBR

Quantifying the release of radiological source term fission products from an LMFBR reactor vessel (RV) is a necessary input to the containment analysis. To estimate this initial source term value, the distribution of the fission products and actinides inside the RV, prior to release, must be known. The in-vessel source term fission product distribution and transport behavior is also essential in assessing and mitigating the plant contamination and cleanup problems which occur from any significant core disruption. This paper attempts to summarize the current knowledge on the behavior of several radioisotopes in different environments created by the accident, without dealing with the modeling of the transport process itself.

Auburn low-temperature geothermal well. Volume 6. Final report

The Auburn well was drilled to explore for low temperature geothermal resources in central New York State. The Auburn site was selected based on: its proximity to the Cayuga County anomaly (30/sup 0/C/km), its favorable local geological conditions and the potential to provide hot water and space heating to two educational facilities. The well was drilled to a total depth of 5250 feet and into the Pre-Cambrian Basement. The well was extensively logged, flow and stress tested, hydraulically stimulated, and pump (pressure transient analysis) tested. The low-temperature geothermal potential was assessed in terms of: geological environment; hydrological conditions; reservoir characteristics; and recoverable hydrothermal reserves. The average geothermal gradient was measured to be as high as 26.7/sup 0/C/km with a bottom-hole temperature of 126/sup 0/ +- 1/sup 0/F. The proved volumetric resources were estimated to be 3.0 x 10/sup 6/ stock tank barrels (STB) with a maximum initial deliverability of approx.11,600 STB/D and a continuous deliverability of approx.3400 STB/D. The proved hydrothermal reserves were estimated to be 21.58 x 10/sup 10/ Btu based on a volumetric component (4.13 x 10/sup 10/ Btu), and a reinjection component (17.45 x 10/sup 10/ Btu). The conclusion was made that the Auburn low-temperature reservoir could …
