Army Transformation and Modernization: Overview and Issues for Congress (open access)

Army Transformation and Modernization: Overview and Issues for Congress

The U.S. Army has begun an ambitious program intended to transform itself into a strategically responsive force dominant in all types of ground operations. As planned, its Objective Force will eventually meld all ongoing initiatives into a force based on a high-tech Future Combat System. This short report briefly describes the program and discusses issues of feasibility, viability, and affordability of potential interest to Congress.

Characterization of Fernald Silo 3 Waste (open access)

Characterization of Fernald Silo 3 Waste

This report summarizes characterization results for uranium residues from the Fernald Environmental Management Project (FEMP) Operable Unit (OU-4). These residues are currently stored in a one-million-gallon concrete silo, Silo 3, at the DOE Fernald Site, Ohio. Characterization of the Silo 3 waste is the first part of a three part study requested by Rocky Mountain Remedial Services (RMRS) through a Work for others Agreement, WFO-00-007, between the Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC) and RMRS. Parts 2 and 3 of this effort include bench- and pilot-scale testing.

Department of Energy: Views on the Progress of the National Nuclear Security Administration in Implementing Title 32 (open access)

Department of Energy: Views on the Progress of the National Nuclear Security Administration in Implementing Title 32

Testimony issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "GAO discusses the progress the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has made in implementing title 32 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000. Title 32 established NNSA as a semiautonomous agency within the Department of Energy (DOE) with responsibility for the nation's nuclear weapons, nonproliferation, and naval reactors programs. GAO found that the agency is making progress in implementing changes to its organization; planning, programming, and budgeting functions; and use of personnel authority. However, it will be several months before real, tangible evidence of these changes will be seen. And it may be several years before these changes are fully implemented and can be definitively assessed. Important work remains to be done in (1) establishing an organization that clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of headquarters and field staff, moves program management officials as close to the action as possible, and establishes clear lines of authority between NNSA and its contractors; (2) implementing an integrated planning, programming, and budgeting system that can deliver information to decision makers and Congress in time for the 2003 budget deliberations; and (3) overcoming obstacles to using NNSA's Expected Service …

Doublets and Other Allied Well Patterns (open access)

Doublets and Other Allied Well Patterns

This report looks at a host of balanced patterns at unity mobility ratio. The geometries and rates ranged broadly. It was found that whenever total production and injection are equal, we can gain considerable insight on the flow equations and the fluid movement. The balanced patterns, where the wells are arrayed around a single injector or a single producer, we found that simple equations can define the nature of steady state flow lines and geometries of the flow paths, and their breakthrough behavior. When the rates are not equal, but still are balanced, the geometries are more complex, but still amenable to analytic solution.

Effects of Uncertainty and Spatial Variability on Seepage into Drifts in the Yucca Mountain Total system Performance Assessment Model (open access)

Effects of Uncertainty and Spatial Variability on Seepage into Drifts in the Yucca Mountain Total system Performance Assessment Model

Seepage into the repository drifts is an important factor in total-system performance. Uncertainty and spatial variability are considered in the seepage calculations. The base-case results show 13.6% of the waste packages (WPs) have seepage. For 5th percentile uncertainty, 4.5% of the WPs have seepage and the seepage flow decreased by a factor of 2. For 95th percentile uncertainty, 21.5% of the WPs have seepage and the seepage flow increased by a factor of 2. Ignoring spatial variability resulted in seepage on 100% of the WPs, with a factor of 3 increase in the seepage flow.

An Empirical Approach to Bounding the Axial Reactivity Effects of PWR Spent Nuclear Fuel (open access)

An Empirical Approach to Bounding the Axial Reactivity Effects of PWR Spent Nuclear Fuel

One of the significant issues yet to be resolved for using burnup credit (BUC) for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) is establishing a set of depletion parameters that produce an adequately conservative representation of the fuel's isotopic inventory. Depletion parameters (such as local power, fuel temperature, moderator temperature, burnable poison rod history, and soluble boron concentration) affect the isotopic inventory of fuel that is depleted in a pressurized water reactor (PWR). However, obtaining the detailed operating histories needed to model all PWR fuel assemblies to which BUC would be applied is an onerous and costly task. Simplifications therefore have been suggested that could lead to using ''bounding'' depletion parameters that could be broadly applied to different fuel assemblies. This paper presents a method for determining a set of bounding depletion parameters for use in criticality analyses for SNF.

Feasibility of Optimizing Recovery and Reserves from a Mature and Geological Complex Multiple Turbidite Offshore Calif. Reservoir through the Drilling and Completion of a Trilateral Horizontal Well, Class III (open access)

Feasibility of Optimizing Recovery and Reserves from a Mature and Geological Complex Multiple Turbidite Offshore Calif. Reservoir through the Drilling and Completion of a Trilateral Horizontal Well, Class III

The intent of this project was to increase production and extend the economic life of this mature field through the application of advanced reservoir characterization and drilling technology, demonstrating the efficacy of these technologies to other small operators of aging fields. Two study periods were proposed; the first to include data assimilation and reservoir characterization and the second to drill the demonstration well. The initial study period showed that a single tri-lateral well would not be economically efficient in redevelopment of Carpinteria's multiple deep water turbidite sand reservoirs, and the study was amended to include the drilling of a series of horizontal redrills from existing surplus well bores on Pacific Operators' Platform Hogan.

GUT breaking on the brane? (open access)

GUT breaking on the brane?

We present a five-dimensional supersymmetric SU(5) theory in which the gauge symmetry is broken maximally (i.e. at the 5D Planck scale M{sub *}) on the same 4D brane where chiral matter is localized. Masses of the lightest Kaluza-Klein modes for the colored Higgs and X and Y gauge fields are determined by the compactification scale of the fifth dimension, M{sub C} {approx} 10{sup 15} GeV, rather than by M{sub *}. These fields' wave functions are repelled from the GUT-breaking brane, so that proton decay rates are suppressed below experimental limits. Above the compactification scale, the differences between the standard model gauge couplings evolve logarithmically, so that ordinary logarithmic gauge coupling unification is preserved. The maximal breaking of the grand unified group can also lead to other effects, such as O(1) deviations from SU(5) predictions of Yukawa couplings, even in models utilizing the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism.
