Busted Butte Unsaturated Zone Transport Test: Fiscal Year 1998 Status Report Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Program Deliverable SPU85M4 (open access)

Busted Butte Unsaturated Zone Transport Test: Fiscal Year 1998 Status Report Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Program Deliverable SPU85M4

This report describes the status of the Busted Butte Unsaturated Zone Transport Test (UZTT) and documents the progress of construction activities and site and laboratory characterization activities undertaken in fiscal year 1998. Also presented are predictive flow-and-transport simulations for Test Phases 1 and 2 of testing and the preliminary results and status of these test phases. Future anticipated results obtained from unsaturated-zone (UZ) transport testing in the Calico Hills Formation at Busted Butte are also discussed in view of their importance to performance assessment (PA) needs to build confidence in and reduce the uncertainty of site-scale flow-and-transport models and their abstractions for performance for license application. The principal objectives of the test are to address uncertainties associated with flow and transport in the UZ site-process models for Yucca Mountain, as identified by the PA working group in February 1997. These include but are not restricted to: (1) The effect of heterogeneities on flow and transport in unsaturated and partially saturated conditions in the Calico Hills Formation. In particular, the test aims to address issues relevant to fracture-matrix interactions and permeability contrast boundaries; (2) The migration behavior of colloids in fractured and unfractured Calico Hills rocks; (3) The validation through field …

CALIBRATION OF SEISMIC ATTRIBUTES FOR RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION (open access)

CALIBRATION OF SEISMIC ATTRIBUTES FOR RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION

The project, ''Calibration of Seismic Attributes for Reservoir Calibration,'' is on schedule after the first year of the contract. They have been working on multiple data sets, including two public-domain sets, one proprietary data set with a corporate partner, and one other proprietary data set as a member of a consortium. They have expanded the use of high-end software well beyond that anticipated in the original work plan, and now use, on a regular basis. The use of these high-end software packages has greatly enhanced their ability to identify, study, and evaluate potential attributes in the seismic data. The data sets used in this project represent a wide variety of environments. One is the fluvial-channel depositional setting of the Stratton data set in South Texas, where the problem consists not only of recognizing the seismic response of a sand-filled channel, but separating it from the signature of interfering thin-beds, most of which are not productive. Another environment is the delta and shore-face setting of the Boonsville data set in North Texas, where karsting in deeper horizons has altered the local productivity of the shallower horizons under consideration. The Wamsutter area of Wyoming provides a very different example, one of a …

Characterization and Modeling of Microstructure Development in Nickel-base Superalloy Welds (open access)

Characterization and Modeling of Microstructure Development in Nickel-base Superalloy Welds

Welding is important for economical reuse and reclamation of used and failed nickel-base superalloy blades, respectively [1]. Solidification and solid state decomposition of {gamma} (Face Centered Cubic, FCC) phase into {gamma}{prime} (L1{sub 2}-ordered) phase control the properties of these welds. In previous publications, the microstructure development in electron beam welds of PWA-1480 alloy [2] and laser beam welds of CMSX-4 alloy [3] were presented. These results showed that the weld cracking in these alloys were associated with low melting point eutectic at the dendrite boundaries [1,2]. The eutectic-{gamma}{prime} precipitation was reduced at rapid weld cooling rates and the partitioning between {gamma}-{gamma}{prime} phase was found to be far from equilibrium conditions [3,4]. This observation was related to diffusional growth of {gamma}{prime} precipitate into {gamma} phase. Subsequent to the above work, the precipitation characteristics of {gamma}{prime} phase from {gamma} phase were evaluated during continuous cooling conditions [5]. The results show that the number density of {gamma} precipitates increased with an increase in cooling rate. However, the details of this decomposition and also the fine-scale elemental partitioning characteristics between {gamma}-{gamma}{prime} were not investigated. In this paper, the precipitation characteristics of {gamma}{prime} from {gamma} during continuous cooling conditions were investigated with transmission electron microscopy, …

Characterization of Multilayer Reflective Coatings for Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (open access)

Characterization of Multilayer Reflective Coatings for Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography

The synchrotron-based reflectometer at beamline 6.3.2 of the Advanced Light Source (ALS) in Berkeley is an important metrology tool within the current Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUVL) program. This program is a joint activity of three National Laboratories and a consortium of leading semiconductor manufacturers. Its goal is the development of a technology for routine production of sub-100 nm feature sizes for microelectronic circuits. Multilayer-coated normal-incidence optical surfaces reflecting in the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) spectral range near 13 nm are the basis for this emerging technology. All optical components of EUV lithographic steppers need to be characterized at-wavelength during their development and manufacturing process. Multilayer coating uniformity and gradient, accurate wavelength matching and high peak reflectances are the main parameters to be optimized. The mechanical and optical properties of the reflectometer at ALS beamline 6.3.2 proved to be well suited for the needs of the current EUVL program. In particular the facility is highly precise in its wavelength calibration and the determination of absolute EUV reflectance. The reproducibility of results of measurements at ALS beamline 6.3.2 is 0.2 % for reflectivity and 0.002 nm for wavelength.

Combustion 2000: Phase II (open access)

Combustion 2000: Phase II

The goals of the program are to develop a coal-fired high performance power generation system (HIPPS) that is capable of: thermal efficiency (HHV) {ge} 47%; NOx, SOx, and particulates {le} 10% NSPS (New Source Performance Standard); coal providing {ge} 65% of heat input; all solid wastes benign; and cost of electricity {le} 90% of present plants. Phase 1, which began in 1992, focused on the analysis of various configurations of indirectly fired cycles and on technical assessments of alternative plant subsystems and components, including performance requirements, developmental status, design options, complexity and reliability, and capital and operating costs. Phase 1 also included preliminary R and D and the preparation of designs for HIPPS commercial plants approximately 300 MWe in size. This Phase, Phase 2, had as its initial objective the development of a complete design base for the construction and operation of a HIPPS prototype plant to be constructed in Phase 3. As part of a descoping initiative, the Phase 3 program has been eliminated and work related to the commercial plant design has been ended. The rescoped program retained a program of engineering research and development focusing on high temperature heat exchangers, e.g. HITAF development (Task 2); a rescoped …

Comment on ''Parton distributions, d/u, and higher twist effects at high x'' (open access)

Comment on ''Parton distributions, d/u, and higher twist effects at high x''

In a recent Letter Yang and Bodek presented results of a new analysis of proton and deuteron structure functions in which the free neutron structure function F{sub 2}{sup n}, was extracted at large x. Knowledge of F{sub 2}{sup n} is crucial for determining the neutron/proton structure function ratio, whose x {r_arrow} 1 limit is sensitive to mechanisms of SU(6) spin-flavor symmetry breaking, and provides one of the fundamental tests of the x dependence of parton distributions in perturbative QCD. Relating nuclear structure functions to those of free nucleons is, however, not straightforward because at large x nuclear effects become quite sizeable. In particular, omitting nuclear binding or off-shell corrections can introduce errors of up to 50% in F{sub 2}{sup n}/F{sub 2}{sup p} already at x {approximately} 0.75. Rather than follow the conventional procedure of subtracting Fermi motion and binding effects in the deuteron via standard two-body wave function, Yang and Bodek instead extract F {sub 2}{sup n} by extrapolating the density dependence of the nuclear corrections to the case of the deuteron. Here the authors point out why this approach is likely to be misleading for light nuclei, and correctly applied predicts that the nuclear correction in the deuteron should …
