Cycle 7 outage experience. [Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF)] (open access)

Cycle 7 outage experience. [Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF)]

The scheduled 58-day refueling outage in preparation for the seventh operating cycle of the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) was successfully completed three days ahead of schedule. The planning and execution of the outage was greatly aided by Project/2 automated scheduling capabilities. For example, the use of ''maintenance windows'' and resource loading capabilities was particularly effective. The value of the planning process was demonstrated by the smooth transition into the outage phase after an early shutdown and set the stage for our best outage to date.

Diffractive Hard Scattering (open access)

Diffractive Hard Scattering

I discuss events in high energy hadron collisions that contain a hard scattering, in the sense that very heavy quarks or high P/sub T/ jets are produced, yet are diffractive, in the sense that one of the incident hadrons is scattered with only a small energy loss. 8 refs.

Overweight truck shipments to nuclear waste repositories: legal, political, administrative and operational considerations (open access)

Overweight truck shipments to nuclear waste repositories: legal, political, administrative and operational considerations

This report, prepared for the Chicago Operations Office and the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) of the US Department of Energy (DOE), identifies and analyzes legal, political, administrative, and operational issues that could affect an OCRWM decision to develop an overweight truck cask fleet for the commercial nuclear waste repository program. It also provides information required by DOE on vehicle size-and-weight administration and regulation, pertinent to nuclear waste shipments. Current legal-weight truck casks have a payload of one pressurized-water reactor spent fuel element or two boiling-water reactor spent fuel elements (1 PWR/2 BWR). For the requirements of the 1960s and 1970s, casks were designed with massive shielding to accommodate 6-month-old spent fuel; the gross vehicle weight was limited to 73,280 pounds. Spent fuel to be moved in the 1990s will have aged five years or more. Gross vehicle weight limitation for the Interstate highway system has been increased to 80,000 pounds. These changes allow the design of 25-ton legal-weight truck casks with payloads of 2 PWR/5 BWR. These changes may also allow the development of a 40-ton overweight truck cask with a payload of 4 PWR/10 BWR. Such overweight casks will result in significantly fewer highway shipments compared …

Development of an x-ray framing camera (open access)

Development of an x-ray framing camera

We are presently developing an ultrafast x-ray framing camera, to be used in laser fusion experiments on the NOVA facility at LLNL. The framing camera will provide high-fidelity images with frame durations of less than 100 ps. The first prototype camera will generate a single image approximately one square centimeter in area, with a spatial resolution of approx.30 microns at the image plane. Coupling the framing camera to a 22 x Wolter x-ray microscope will provide resolution at the target of approx.2 microns. The camera will be optically triggered using a laser pulse that is synchronous with the NOVA driver beams.

Influence of quasi-elastic channels on fusion (open access)

Influence of quasi-elastic channels on fusion

Experiments that measure the strength of different transfer reactions in heavy reaction systems at energies in the vicinity of the Coulomb barrier are discussed. A short discussion is given of experimental techniques that are available in this field and their advantages and shortfalls. The main features of the transfer reactions are summarized. Questions concerning the system dependence and energy dependence of the strongest reaction channels are addressed. A systematic picture of the strength of the neutron transfer cross sections is presented. Some examples for correlations between fusion exchangement and transfer cross sections are given.

Study of incomplete fusion for light heavy-ion systems using velocity distributions (open access)

Study of incomplete fusion for light heavy-ion systems using velocity distributions

Experimental results on incomplete fusion for light systems are discussed by studying the velocity distribution of fusion-like residues in the energy range of 6 to 20 MeV/nucleon. Original experimental work and results from other groups including the Hahn-Meitner Institute and the Argonne National Laboratory are also cited. Reactions between /sup 14/N, /sup 16/O, /sup 19/F, and /sup 20,22/Ne projectiles and /sup 24,26/Mg, /sup 27/Al, /sup 28/Si, /sup 40/Ca and /sup 58,60/Ni targets have been studied. 19 refs., 15 figs., 1 tab.

Concentrations of dissolved methane (CH sub 4 ) and nitrogen (N sub 2 ) in groundwaters from the Hanford Site, Washington (open access)

Concentrations of dissolved methane (CH sub 4 ) and nitrogen (N sub 2 ) in groundwaters from the Hanford Site, Washington

This document reports all available dissolved gas concentration data for groundwaters from the Hanford Site as of June 1985. Details of the computational procedures required to reduce data obtained from the field measurements made by the Basalt Waste Isolation Project are provided in the appendix. Most measured values for methane concentration from reference repository boreholes are in the range of from 350 to 700 mg/L for the Cohassett flow top. Because of the uncertainties associated with these measurements, it is currently recommended that a conservative methane concentration of 1200 mg/L (methane saturated) in groundwater be considered the most reasonable upper-bounding value. 16 refs., 2 figs., 2 tabs.

Area recommendation report for the crystalline repository project: An evaluation. [Crystalline Repository Project]

An evaluation is given of DOE's recommendation of the Elk River complex in North Carolina for siting the second repository. Twelve recommendations are made including a strong suggestion that the Cherokee Tribe appeal both through political and legal avenues for inclusion as an affected area primarily due to projected impacts upon economy and public health as a consequence of the potential for reduced tourism.

Defense waste processing facility precipitate hydrolysis process (open access)

Defense waste processing facility precipitate hydrolysis process

Sodium tetraphenylborate and sodium titanate are used to assist in the concentration of soluble radionuclide in the Savannah River Plant's high-level waste. In the Defense Waste Processing Facility, concentrated tetraphenylborate/sodium titanate slurry containing cesium-137, strontium-90 and traces of plutonium from the waste tank farm is hydrolyzed in the Salt Processing Cell forming organic and aqueous phases. The two phases are then separated and the organic phase is decontaminated for incineration outside the DWPF building. The aqueous phase, containing the radionuclides and less than 10% of the original organic, is blended with the insoluble radionuclides in the high-level waste sludge and is fed to the glass melter for vitrification into borosilicate glass. During the Savannah River Laboratory's development of this process, copper (II) was found to act as a catalyst during the hydrolysis reactions, which improved the organic removal and simplified the design of the reactor.

Leakage Flow-Induced Vibration of an Unconstricted Tube-in-Tube Slip Joint (open access)

Leakage Flow-Induced Vibration of an Unconstricted Tube-in-Tube Slip Joint

The conditions are given for which the more flexible of two cantilevered, telescoping tubes conveying fluid can be self-excited by flow leaking from an un-constricted slip joint. Also, a physical explanation of the excitation mechanism is discussed, and a design rule to avoid the mechanism is presented. In addition, the results for the un-constricted slip joint are shown to be similar to those for slip joints having annulus constrictions at very short engagement lengths.

Polishing Methods for Metallic and Ceramic Transmission Electron Microscopy Specimens, Rev. 1 (open access)

Polishing Methods for Metallic and Ceramic Transmission Electron Microscopy Specimens, Rev. 1

"In recent years, the increasing sophistication of transmission electron microscope (TEM) studies of materials has necessitated more exacting methods of specimen preparation. The present report describes improved equipment and techniques for electropolishing and chemically polishing a wide variety of specimens. Many of the specimens used in developing or improving the techniques to be described were irradiated with heavy ions such as nickel or vanadium to study radiation damage. The high cost of these specimens increased the need for reproducible methods of initial preparation postirradiation processing, and final thinning for TEM examination. A technique was also developed to salvage specimens that had previously been thinned but were unusable for various reasons. Jet polishing is, in general, the method of choice for surface polishing, sectioning, and thinning. The older beaker electropolishing method is included in this report because it is inexpensive and simple, and gives some insight into how the more recent methods were developed"--NTIS abstract.
