Chloride content of Rocky Flats scrub alloy twelfth campaign solution following head end treatment (open access)

Chloride content of Rocky Flats scrub alloy twelfth campaign solution following head end treatment

A single batch of dissolver solution from the twelfth Rocky Flats Scrub Alloy (RFSA) campaign has been analyzed for chloride content following head end treatment to reduce its concentration. Scrub alloy buttons were dissolved in Tank 6.4D during July. In subsequent head end processing, chloride was precipitated with mercurous ion added as the nitrate. The precipitate, Hg{sub 2}Cl{sub 2}, was co-removed with the gelatin floc via centrifugation. Duplicate samples from Tank 11.2, containing the head end product, produced excellent agreement between their density measurements and acid analyses, indicating them to be truly representative of the tank`s contents. Duplicate aliquots from each of these solutions were analyzed using the turbidimetric chloride method developed in the Separations Technology Laboratory. These resulted in an average chloride value of 53 ppm ({micro}g/mL) chloride for the head end product. Relative standard deviation of the measurement was {+-}6 ppm (n = 4), a precision of {+-}11%. Such a variance is normal at this low chloride level. Since initial chloride values prior to head end averaged 1365 ppm (0.0385M), as analyzed by Laboratories Department, a chloride DF of approximately 26 was obtained. Such a reduced chloride level (to less than 100 ppm) in the treated solution will …

Chloride content of dissolver solution from Rocky Flats scrub alloy ninth and tenth campaigns following head end treatment (open access)

Chloride content of dissolver solution from Rocky Flats scrub alloy ninth and tenth campaigns following head end treatment

F-Canyon continues to obtain excellent chloride removal from Rocky Flats scrub alloy (RFSA) dissolver solution during head end treatment. One single batch of solution from the ninth RFSA campaign, dissolved in January and February of this year, and two batches from the tenth campaign, dissolved in February, have been successfully processed. Following dissolution in Tank 6.4D, chloride was precipitated with mercurous ion added as the nitrate. The precipitate, Hg{sub 2}Cl{sub 2}, was concurrently removed with the gelatin floc via centrifugation. For each of these three batches processed, a set of duplicate samples was obtained from Tank 11.2 or from Tank 13.3, containing the head end product. The samples were preanalyzed by Laboratories Department for density and acidity to ensure them to be representative of the tank`s contents prior to chloride analysis by the Separations Technology Laboratory. Previous work indicated that in order to protect downstream canyon equipment from chloride attack, the chloride content of RFSA solutions should be less than 100 ppm. All batches from these two RFSA campaigns meet this criterion.

Initial evaluation of photographic data of F- and H-Area seepage basin outcrops (open access)

Initial evaluation of photographic data of F- and H-Area seepage basin outcrops

Photographic data for the Savannah River Plant (SRP) were reviewed for 1961 through 1987 to determine the value of this photography in estimating the timing and extent of the F- and H-Area seepage basin outcrops along the upper Four Mile Creek floodplain. In excess of 15,000 frames of photography of the SRP were reviewed. The quality of the photography varied widely and included panchromatic (black and white), natural color, and false color infrared. Altitudes of the photography ranged from 2,000 feet above ground level (AGL) to 40,000 feet AGL. For each year the best photography at the lowest altitude was evaluated to determine the presence of vegetation damage downslope of the F- and H-Area seepage basins. Criteria of no visible evidence of vegetation (forest canopy) damage, initial evidence of vegetation or canopy damage, canopy thinning, tree mortality, and expansion of vegtation damage and/or tree mortality zones were applied to each of the photographs. In this initial evaluation, only the largest of the outcrops below the seepage basins were evaluated. (3 tabs.)

Present capabilities and new developments in antenna modeling with the numerical electromagnetics code NEC (open access)

Present capabilities and new developments in antenna modeling with the numerical electromagnetics code NEC

Computer modeling of antennas, since its start in the late 1960's, has become a powerful and widely used tool for antenna design. Computer codes have been developed based on the Method-of-Moments, Geometrical Theory of Diffraction, or integration of Maxwell's equations. Of such tools, the Numerical Electromagnetics Code-Method of Moments (NEC) has become one of the most widely used codes for modeling resonant sized antennas. There are several reasons for this including the systematic updating and extension of its capabilities, extensive user-oriented documentation and accessibility of its developers for user assistance. The result is that there are estimated to be several hundred users of various versions of NEC world wide. 23 refs., 10 figs.

Backgrounds to the detection of two-body hadronic B decays (open access)

Backgrounds to the detection of two-body hadronic B decays

We consider backgrounds to the detection of the two-body hadronic decay modes of neutral B mesons and baryons. The largest background is due to the correlated production of pairs of high-p/sub T/ hadrons in the target, but this can be adequately rejected provided the experimental apparatus has sufficient resolution in mass and decay vertex. Another possible source of background arises from the production and decay of charmed and strange particles. Since these particles can travel considerable distances before decaying, they can give rise to backgrounds which may not be rejectable by means of vertex cut. We have simulated several backgrounds from charm, and we find them to be small compared to the expected level of signal. 8 refs., 1 fig., 2 tabs

Studies of nuclear reactions at very low energies: Annual progress report

The main thrust of the research program was directed at the acquisition, installation and initial operation of the General Ionex Model 1545 charged particle accelerator which will be used in the subsequent reaction cross section measurements. The initial operation of the accelerator has been quite successful, with all of the crucial characteristics meeting or exceeding design specifications. We have made preliminary measurements of the reactions 12C(rho,..gamma..)13N/sup 11/B(rho,..gamma..)/sup 12/C, and D(rho,..gamma..)/sup 3/He as tests of total system integrity and have carried out studies of the interaction of proton and alpha particle beams with deuterated-polyethylene targets. 11 refs.

Modulation of continuous electron beams in plasma wake-fields (open access)

Modulation of continuous electron beams in plasma wake-fields

In this paper we discuss the interaction of a continuous electron beam with wake-field generated plasma waves. Using a one-dimensional two fluid model, a fully nonlinear analytical description of the interaction is obtained. The phenomena of continuous beam modulation and wave period shortening are discussed. The relationship between these effects and the two-stream instability is also examined. 12 refs., 1 fig.
