Development of a Vortexing Combustor (VC) for space/water heating applications (proof-of-concept model development) (open access)

Development of a Vortexing Combustor (VC) for space/water heating applications (proof-of-concept model development)

This in the third quarterly technical progress report for DE-AI2287PC79660 covering the period between 1 May and 31 July 1988. During this reporting period, the firing test of Dry Ultrafine Coal (DUC) in the 0.15 MB/H exploratory model has continued. Sufficient experience and insight have been accumulated to help finalize the design of the 0.6 MB/H experimental model. Fabrication of the 0.6 MB/H model in 33% complete. A Coal-Water Fuel (CWF) loop for firing tests and an apparatus for testing CWF nozzle spray patterns are also 33% complete. A now test facility which includes the flue gas cleaning facility (described in our first quarterly progress report) is operational. We are now able to conduct independent tests on both the 0.15 and 0.6 MB/H models without disruption to either model. Current efforts have been concentrated in permanently installing test apparatus/equipment in the now test facility area. CWF tests in the 0. 15 MB/H model and DUC tests in the 0. 6 MB/H model are expected to begin in September 1988.

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF A BRIGHT ELECTRON INJECTOR BASED ON A LASER-DRIVEN PHOTOCATHODE RF ELECTRON GUN (open access)

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF A BRIGHT ELECTRON INJECTOR BASED ON A LASER-DRIVEN PHOTOCATHODE RF ELECTRON GUN

Conceptual design of a bright electron injector for the 1 GeV high gradient test experiment. envisaged by the LLNL-SLAC-LBL collaboration on the Relativistic Klystron is presented. The design utilizes a high-brightness laser-driven RF photocathode electron gun, similar to the pioneering LANL early studies in concept (different parametrically however), together with achromatic magnetic bunching and transport systems and diagnostics. The design is performed with attention to possible use in an FEL as well. A simple but realistic analytic model including longitudinal and transverse space-charge and RF effects and extensive computer simulation form the basis of the parametric choice for the source. These parameters are used as guides for the design of the pico-second laser system and magnetic bunching section.

New approaches to linear and nonlinear programming. Progress report, January 1, 1988--December 31, 1988 (open access)

New approaches to linear and nonlinear programming. Progress report, January 1, 1988--December 31, 1988

This report describes technical progress during the past twelve months on DOE Contract DE-FG-87ER25030 and requests support for the third year. The project involves study of the theoretical properties and computational performance of techniques that solve linear and nonlinear programs by means of nonlinear transformations. The group at the Systems Optimization Laboratory (SOL) were the first to recognize the connection between Karmarkar`s projective method and the logarithmic barrier method. It is now generally recognized that essentially all interior-point methods for linear programming inspired by Karmarkar`s method are closely related to application of Newton`s method to a sequence of barrier functions. Each barrier function is defined from the objective function and a barrier term that is infinite along the boundary of the feasible region. As the weight on the barrier term is reduced to zero, the solution of the subproblem becomes closer to the solution of the original problem.

Intruder scenarios for site-specific low-level radioactive waste classification (open access)

Intruder scenarios for site-specific low-level radioactive waste classification

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has revised its low-level radioactive waste (LLW) management requirements and guidelines for waste generated at its facilities supporting defense missions. Specifically, draft DOE Order 5820.2A, Chapter 3 describes the purpose, policy, and requirements necessary for the management of defense LLW. The draft DOE policy calls for LLW operations to be managed to protect the health and safety of the public, preserve the environment, and ensure that no remedial action will be necessary after termination of operations. The basic approach used by DOE is to establish overall performance objectives, in terms of groundwater protection and public radiation dose limits, and to require site-specific performance assessments to determine compliance. As a result of these performance assessments, each site will develop waste acceptance criteria that define the allowable quantities and concentrations of specific radioisotopes. Additional limitations on waste disposal design, waste form, and waste treatment will also be developed on a site-specific basis. As a key step in the site-specific performance assessments, an evaluation must be conducted of potential radiation doses to intruders who may inadvertently move onto a closed DOE LLW disposal site after loss of institutional controls. This report (1) describes the types of intruder …

Novel concept development of an internal recirculation catalyst for mild gasification. Progress report, March 1, 1988--May 31, 1988 (open access)

Novel concept development of an internal recirculation catalyst for mild gasification. Progress report, March 1, 1988--May 31, 1988

The objective of this program is to provide an overall evaluation of a novel process concept for mild gasification by completing work in three major tasks: (1) Laboratory-Scale Experiments, (2) Bench-Scale Tests, and (3) Proof-of-Concept Tests and Evaluation (optional). During this quarter, experimental work involving zinc chloride as a potential recirculating catalyst for coal, initiated in the previous quarter, was continued. The design of an all-quartz laboratory-scale isothermal free-fall reactor was completed, and construction was begun. One free-fall experiment was performed in an existing stainless-steel free-fall reactor with methanol-treated Illinois No. 6 high-volatile bituminous coal. 1 ref., 2 figs., 2 tabs.

LEP and CEBAF Polarimeters (open access)

LEP and CEBAF Polarimeters

This paper gives an overview on high energy electron (positron) polarimeters by describing in more detail the plans for the LEP polarimeter and the CEBAF polarimeters. Both LEP and CEBAF will have laser polarimeters. In addition CEBAF will be equipped with a Moller polarimeter (for currents below 1 micro-amp).

Environmental aspects of MHTGR (Modular High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor) operation (open access)

Environmental aspects of MHTGR (Modular High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor) operation

The Modular High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (MHTGR) is an advanced reactor concept being developed under a cooperative program involving the US Government, the utilities and the nuclear industry. This plant design utilizes basic High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) features of ceramic fuel, helium coolant, and a graphite moderator. The MHTGR design approach leading to exceptional safety performance also leads to plant operation which is characterized by extremely low radiological emissions even for very low probability accidents. Coated fuel particles retain radionuclides within the fuel, thus minimizing material contamination and personnel exposure. The objective of this paper is to characterize radioactive effluents expected from the normal operation of an MHTGR. In addition, other nonradioactive effluents associated with a power generating facility are discussed. Nuclear power plants produce radioactive effluents during normal operation in gaseous, liquid and solid forms. Principal sources of radioactive waste within the MHTGR are identified. The manner in which it is planned to treat these wastes is described. Like other reactors, the MHTGR produces nonradioactive effluents associated with heat generation and chemical usage. However, due to the MHTGR's higher efficiency, water usage requirements and chemical discharges for the MHTGR are minimized relative to other types of nuclear power plants. …
