Amtrak and Energy Conservation: Background and Selected Public Policy Issues (open access)

Amtrak and Energy Conservation: Background and Selected Public Policy Issues

A rationale for federal financial support to Amtrak has been that rail service conserves energy, compared to other forms of intercity passenger transportation. The numbers discussed in this report suggest that the rationale might not be valid with regard to autos and buses. The report discusses some public policy implications that could follow from that conclusion.

Elimination of the calcium cycle: direct electrolytic causticizing of Kraft smelt. Final report (open access)

Elimination of the calcium cycle: direct electrolytic causticizing of Kraft smelt. Final report

An electrochemical molten salt alternative to the classic Kraft causticizing process has been investigated and the feasibility of the process was successfully shown. The experiments include (A) the determination of background thermal decomposition gases, (B) the electrolysis of a sodium carbonate only smelt to show that sodium oxide can be electrochemically produced, and (C) electrolysis of a synthetic smelt containing 80 mole % Na{sub 2}CO{sub 3} and 20 mole % Na{sub 2}S. The experiments show, that sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was produced by the electrochemical reduction of sodium carbonate to sodium oxide in the molten state. In the experiment containing sodium sulfide, there was formation of less than 5 mole % of polysulfide. Energy savings on the order of 500,000 BTU per ton of kraft pulp produced are estimated, based on the energy used by the mill. Operating costs are estimated to be currently similar to conventional processing. However, price increases of fossil fuels and increased co-generation of electricity in the mill will give the electrolytical process significant cost advantages.

Erosion/redeposition analysis : status of modeling and code validation for semi-detached tokamak edge plasmas. (open access)

Erosion/redeposition analysis : status of modeling and code validation for semi-detached tokamak edge plasmas.

We are analyzing erosion and tritium codeposition for ITER, DIII-D, and other devices with a focus on carbon divertor and metallic wall sputtering, for detached and semi-detached edge plasmas. Carbon chemical-sputtering hydrocarbon-transport is computed in detail using upgraded models for sputtering yields, species, and atomic and molecular processes. For the DIII-D analysis this includes proton impact and dissociative recombination for the full methane and higher hydrocarbon chains. Several mixed material (Si-C doping and Be/C) effects on erosion are examined. A semi-detached reactor plasma regime yields peak net wall erosion rates of {approximately}1.0 (Be), {approximately}0.3 (Fe), and {approximately}0.01 (W) cm/burn-yr, and {approximately}50 cm/burn-yr for a carbon divertor. Net carbon erosion is dominated by chemical sputtering in the {approximately}1-3 eV detached plasma zone. Tritium codeposition in divertor-sputtered redeposited carbon is high ({approximately}10-20 g-T/1000 s ). Silicon and beryllium mixing tends to reduce carbon erosion. Initial hydrocarbon transport calculations for the DIII-D DiMES-73 detached plasma experiment show a broad spectrum of redeposited molecules with {approximately}90% redeposition fraction.

Forward-backward asymmetries of atomic photoelectrons. (open access)

Forward-backward asymmetries of atomic photoelectrons.

When atomic photoionization is treated beyond the dipole approximation, photoelectron angular distributions are asymmetric forward and backward with respect to the direction of the photon beam. We have measured forward-backward asymmetries of Ar 1s and Kr 1s and 2s photoelectrons using 2-19 keV x-rays. The measured asymmetries compare well with calculations which include interference between electric-dipole and electric-quadrupole amplitudes within the nonrelativistic, independent-particle approximations.

The Harbor Maintenance Tax and the 106th Congress (open access)

The Harbor Maintenance Tax and the 106th Congress

Prior to 1986, general funds of the U.S. treasury were used to pay 65% of the cost to operate ocean and inland ports and to maintain and deepen their channels. The other 35 percent is paid by ports, or by state or local governments. In 1986, Congress enacted the Harbor Maintenance Tax and used the revenues to provide some of the funds for what has come to be considered the federal portion of such costs

High-performance computational and geostatistical experiments for testing the capabilities of 3-d electrical tomography (open access)

High-performance computational and geostatistical experiments for testing the capabilities of 3-d electrical tomography

This project explores the feasibility of combining geologic insight, geostatistics, and high-performance computing to analyze the capabilities of 3-D electrical resistance tomography (ERT). Geostatistical methods are used to characterize the spatial variability of geologic facies that control sub-surface variability of permeability and electrical resistivity Synthetic ERT data sets are generated from geostatistical realizations of alluvial facies architecture. The synthetic data sets enable comparison of the �truth� to inversion results, quantification of the ability to detect particular facies at particular locations, and sensitivity studies on inversion parameters

How far from stability can we go using gammasphere and the FMA? (open access)

How far from stability can we go using gammasphere and the FMA?

This paper presents new results obtained using the US national gamma-ray facility Gammasphere, which has been operating at the ATLAS accelerator at Argonne National Laboratory since January 1998. Gammasphere was built at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and used primarily as a powerful spectrometer for studying nuclei at the highest spins. For pioneering research in the high-spin regime, it was constructed with high photopeak efficiency (about 10% for 1.33 MeV gamma-rays), good energy resolution (< 2.4 keV at 1.33 meV), good photopeak-to-total response (> 55% of 1.33 MeV events are in the photopeak) and high granularity (> 100 high-purity germanium (HpGe) detector channels, of which 65 are segmented, to allow precise Doppler correction and minimize the chance of double-hits). The device has a high degree of mechanical symmetry which is ideal for angular correlation studies. The whole spectrometer, both HpGe detectors and their BGO anti-Compton shields, can be used for photon calorimetry by adding the energy deposited in the nearly 900 active elements.

Initial Experimental Verification of the Neutron Beam Modeling for the LBNL BNCT Facility (open access)

Initial Experimental Verification of the Neutron Beam Modeling for the LBNL BNCT Facility

In preparation for future clinical BNCT trials, neutron production via the 7Li(p,n) reaction as well as subsequent moderation to produce epithermal neutrons have been studied. Proper design of a moderator and filter assembly is crucial in producing an optimal epithermal neutron spectrum for brain tumor treatments. Based on in-phantom figures-of-merit,desirable assemblies have been identified. Experiments were performed at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's 88-inch cyclotron to characterize epithermal neutron beams created using several microampere of 2.5 MeV protons on a lithium target. The neutron moderating assembly consisted of Al/AlF3 and Teflon, with a lead reflector to produce an epithermal spectrum strongly peaked at 10-20 keV. The thermal neutron fluence was measured as a function of depth in a cubic lucite head phantom by neutron activation in gold foils. Portions of the neutron spectrum were measured by in-air activation of six cadmium-covered materials (Au, Mn, In, Cu, Co, W) with high epithermal neutron absorption resonances. The results are reasonably reproduced in Monte Carlo computational models, confirming their validity.
