Fifty-four of DOE`s major contractors reported expending $44.3 million in liability insurance costs for the last 3 years of operation. Purpose of this audit was to evaluate how DOE implemented its policy to assume the risk of losses for its contractors rather than to insure them commercially. Contractors are required to use self-insurance if combined annual premiums for commercial insurance exceed $10,000. Review of 18 major contractors showed that DOE was not consistently following its policy and that contractors using commercial insurance incurred higher costs. Required approvals were not always obtained prior to purchasing certain other types of liability insurance. It is recommended that DOE`s policies requiring self-insurance be fully implemented; that requests for approval for commercial insurance when annual premiums exceeded $10,000 be fully justified; and that the commercial insurance policies specifically define the liability coverage prior to approval and payment. It is also recommended that the contracts include clauses limiting reimbursements for insurance expenditures to actual losses and administrative costs.

This project is intended to satisfy, in part, PETC`s research efforts to understand the chemical and physical processes that govern coal combustion. The work is pertinent to the char oxidation phase of coal combustion and focuses on how the fragmentation of coal char particles affects overall mass loss rates and how char fragmentation phenomena influence coal conversion efficiency. The knowledge and information obtained allows the development of engineering models that can be used to predict accurately char particle temperatures and total mass loss rates during pulverized coal combustion. In particular, the work provides insight into causes of unburned carbon in the ash of coal-fired utility boilers and furnaces. The information reported is for the period July I to September 30, 1995, although the actual work was performed over an extended period of time, from July 1, 1995 to August 1996. During this period, activities were undertaken in Task 3, char fragmentation studies, and Task 4, fragmentation modeling. Partially reacted chars were extracted from the laminar flow reactor at selected residence times and analyzed to determine extents of mass loss and particle size distributions and the particle population balance model was modified to take into account density variations for each size …

We discuss the possible use of tokamaks for thermonuclear power plants, in particular tokamaks with low aspect ratio and copper toroidal field coils. Three approaches are presented. First we review and summarize the existing literature. Second, using simple analytic estimates, the size of the smallest tokamak to produce an ignited plasma is derived. This steady state energy balance analysis is then extended to determine the smallest tokamak power plant, by including the power required to drive the toroidal field, and considering two extremes of plasma current drive efficiency. The analytic results will be augmented by a numerical calculation which permits arbitrary plasma current drive efficiency; the results of which will be presented in Part II. Third, a scaling from any given reference reactor design to a copper toroidal field coil device is discussed. Throughout the paper the importance of various restrictions is emphasized, in particular plasma current drive efficiency, plasma confinement, plasma safety factor, plasma elongation, plasma beta, neutron wall loading, blanket availability and recirculating electric power. We conclude that the latest published reactor studies, which show little advantage in using low aspect ratio unless remarkably high efficiency plasma current drive and low safety factor are combined, can be reproduced …

The objective of this work is to examine and develop a remediation scenario to provide long term hydraulic control and remediation of the dissolved chlorinated solvent plume within the Western and Southern Sectors of the A/M Area. This scope includes the development and siting of a remediation system that will contain the 500 part per billion trichloroethylene isoconcentration contour within each sector.

Using thorium as a plutonium surrogate, homogeneous glasses have been processed ranging from 15 to 20 elemental weight percent thorium with 0 to 5 elemental weight percent uranium. Homogeneous glasses have been processed at 1,475 C with residence times ranging from 1 to 12 hours. High ramp rates successfully inhibited thorium silicate formation. Residence times of 5 to 7 hours were required for static melts to become homogeneous for glasses containing 15 elemental weight percent thorium. Thorium dissolution rates have been determined for glasses containing 15 elemental weight percent thorium with and without the addition of uranium. When compared to identical glass compositions which were not stirred, stirred melts produced homogeneous vitreous products with an 80 percent reduction in residence time. A 20 elemental weight percent thorium glass was produced at 1,475 C by adding 2 elemental weight percent uranium. Without the addition of uranium, a melt temperature of 1,500 C was required.
