Advanced Industrial Materials (AIM) Program Compilation of Project Summaries and Significant Accomplishments FY 1999 (open access)

Advanced Industrial Materials (AIM) Program Compilation of Project Summaries and Significant Accomplishments FY 1999

For the past 10 years the Advanced Industrial Materials (AIM) has supported development of new and improved materials to enable U.S. industry to improve energy efficiency, increase productivity, and reduce waste. It has been a National Laboratory based program, with work currently under way at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories, in collaboration with industrial and university partners. With the advent of the Industries of the Future (IOF) strategy within the Office of Industrial Technologies (OIT) and the scheduled completion of the Continuous Fiber Ceramic Composites (CFCC) Program in FY 2002, an integrated materials program is being developed in OIT. So this represents the last summary of AIM research and development. The new program, Industrial Materials for the Future (IMF), will be competitive in operation, with solicitations for proposals for development of materials in accordance with the IOF Technology Roadmaps, followed by merit review and funding of the best proposals. Industry will take the lead in ''industry-specific'' research and development, in cooperation with National Laboratories, as needed. National Laboratories and universities will take the lead in maintaining a base technology program, for the purpose of maintaining a continuing flow of new materials technologies. The …

Beam sweeping system (open access)

Beam sweeping system

This article describes a system for rapidly sweeping a high-energy particle beam in a circular path on a target. The sweeping system deflects the beam in a single-turn rotating-field magnet that combines deflection in both planes into a single unit. The magnet current is up to 10 kA in amplitude and the sweep time is 1.6 {micro}s. The magnet consists of 4 conductors twisted to provide a uniform line-integral deflecting magnetic field, arranged inside a pressed-powder magnetic core. The pulsed power supply provides the current to the high radiation area of the target vault through several meters of stripline and coaxial cable by means of a magnetic pulse compression circuit based on saturing Ni-Fe and Metglas tape cores. At the Fermilab Antiproton Source increase proton beam intensities incident on the antiproton production target threaten to deliver energy densities sufficient to locally melt the target in a single pulse. The purpose of the sweep magnet is to spread the hot spot on the target with a sweep radius of up to 0.5 mm, greatly reducing the peak energy deposition.

Cold Vacuum Drying facility design basis accident analysis documentation

This document provides the detailed accident analysis to support HNF-3553, Annex B, Spent Nuclear Fuel Project Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), ''Cold Vacuum Drying Facility Final Safety Analysis Report.'' All assumptions, parameters, and models used to provide the analysis of the design basis accidents are documented to support the conclusions in the FSAR. The calculations in this document address the design basis accidents (DBAs) selected for analysis in HNF-3553, ''Spent Nuclear Fuel Project Final Safety Analysis Report'', Annex B, ''Cold Vacuum Drying Facility Final Safety Analysis Report.'' The objective is to determine the quantity of radioactive particulate available for release at any point during processing at the Cold Vacuum Drying Facility (CVDF) and to use that quantity to determine the amount of radioactive material released during the DBAs. The radioactive material released is used to determine dose consequences to receptors at four locations, and the dose consequences are compared with the appropriate evaluation guidelines and release limits to ascertain the need for preventive and mitigative controls.

Hydrostatic Mooring System. Final Technical Report: Main Report plus Appendices A, B, and C - Volume 1 and 2 (open access)

Hydrostatic Mooring System. Final Technical Report: Main Report plus Appendices A, B, and C - Volume 1 and 2

The main conclusions from the work carried out under this contract are: An ordinary seafarer can learn by training on a simulator, to moor large tanker vessels to the Hydrostatic Mooring, safely and quickly, in all weather conditions up to storms generating waves with a significant wave height of 8 m. Complete conceptual design of the Hydrostatic Mooring buoy was carried out which proved that the buoy could be constructed entirely from commercially available standard components and materials. The design is robust, and damage resistant. The mooring tests had a 100% success rate from the point of view of the buoy being securely attached and moored to the vessel following every mooring attempt. The tests had an 80% success rate from the point of view of the buoy being adequately centered such that petroleum transfer equipment on the vessel could be attached to the corresponding equipment on the buoy. The results given in Table 3-2 of the mooring tests show a consistently improving performance from test to test by the Captain that performed the mooring operations. This is not surprising, in view of the fact that the Captain had only three days of training on the simulator prior to conducting …

Laser cooling of TeV muons (open access)

Laser cooling of TeV muons

The authors show that Compton scattering can be used to cool TeV-scale muon beams, and derive analytical expressions for the equilibrium transverse angular spread, longitudinal energy spread, and power requirements. They find that a factor of a few thousand reduction in emittance is possible for a 3 TeV muon collider.

Magnetic Instabilities Driven by Sheared Toroidal and Poloidal Flows in the limit of B=0. Final Report (open access)

Magnetic Instabilities Driven by Sheared Toroidal and Poloidal Flows in the limit of B=0. Final Report

The grant was used for startup activity in an experiment designed to address key questions related to the MHD dynamo, a process by which kinetic energy in flowing, conducting fluids can spontaneously be converted into magnetic energy. Dynamos have been invoked to explain the magnetic fields associated with the planets, stars and other astrophysical bodies. The experiment consists primarily of a 1 meter diameter sphere of liquid sodium with flows driven by mechanical propellers.

Multiphase fluid flow and subsequent geochemical transport invariably saturated fractured rocks: 1. Approaches (open access)

Multiphase fluid flow and subsequent geochemical transport invariably saturated fractured rocks: 1. Approaches

Reactive fluid flow and geochemical transport in unsaturated fractured rocks has received increasing attention for studies of contaminant transport, groundwater quality, waste disposal, acid mine drainage remediation, mineral deposits, sedimentary diagenesis, and fluid-rock interactions in hydrothermal systems. This paper presents methods for modeling geochemical systems that emphasize: (1) involvement of the gas phase in addition to liquid and solid phases in fluid flow, mass transport and chemical reactions, (2) treatment of physically and chemically heterogeneous and fractured rocks, (3) the effect of heat on fluid flow and reaction properties and processes, and (4) the kinetics of fluid-rock interaction. The physical and chemical process model is embodied in a system of partial differential equations for flow and transport, coupled to algebraic equations and ordinary differential equations for chemical interactions. For numerical solution, the continuum equations are discretized in space and time. Space discretization is based on a flexible integral finite difference approach that can use irregular gridding to model geologic structure; time is discretized fully implicitly as a first-order finite difference. Heterogeneous and fractured media are treated with a general multiple interacting continua method that includes double-porosity, dual-permeability, and multi-region models as special cases. A sequential iteration approach is used to …
