Indonesian Separatist Movement in Aceh (open access)

Indonesian Separatist Movement in Aceh

This report discusses the separatist movement in the province of Aceh, in Indonesia, as well as US hesitance to involve themselves in aiding President Abdurrahman Wahid in controlling the Indonesian military. The paper details the leading separatist organization, as well as its leadership, and the factors that played a role in the rise of the separatist movements in the province. It also cites aggression from the Indonesian military, which produced reports of human rights violations, as a cause for the hesitance from the Bush Administration to involve the US in the conflict.

The Helium Purification System for the Proposed Pebble Bed Reactor Experiment (open access)

The Helium Purification System for the Proposed Pebble Bed Reactor Experiment

A helium coolant side-stream purification system consisting of parallel sections for radioactive and non-radioactive de-contamination was designed for the proposed Pebble Bed Reactor Experiment. Primary equipment components are two gas coolers, gas heater, charcoal delay trap, CuO oxidizer, Molecular Sieve adsorber, and full flow filter. The charcoal delay trap is sized to provide a hold-up of 30 minutes for Kr isotopes, 6hr hold-up for Xe isotopes, and 99.9% retention of iodine isotopes resulting in "de-contamination factors" varying from l for Kr85 to 556 for I131. Non-radioactive de-contamination will result in a steady state concentration of CO2 in the coolant of 20.8ppm or less.

A Study of Location Times for Positions Arranged on a Panel in a Random and an Ordered Manner (open access)

A Study of Location Times for Positions Arranged on a Panel in a Random and an Ordered Manner

The results of an experimental pilot study on the location time, for a sequence of N specified positions on a panel, are given for 1 <_ N <_ 30. The positions to be located were randomly arranged on one set of panels and arranged according to an ordering scheme on a second set of panels. Th location time for N positions randomly arranged on a panel varies approximately as N(2). In the case of an order arrangement the location time is essentially proportional to N. Even for as few as 30 positions, the location time for an random arrangement was twelve times greater than for an order panel. For 60 positions the ratio would be 19, and for 90 positions the ratio would be 26.

Vapor Traps for Handling Liquid Sodium (open access)

Vapor Traps for Handling Liquid Sodium

An active program is a present underway to develop equipment to handle liquid metals. Among the metals being studied are sodium and sodium--potassium alloy (the latter commonly referred to as NaK). In many of the systems being studied this liquid metal is pressurized by inert gas in the lines. At times it is necessary to bleed off some of this gas from the system. Although the gas is allowed to escape at a temperature at which the vapor pressure of sodium is extremely small, it has been found that excessive amounts of sodium are present in this gas stream. Either this sodium collects in the lead-off pipes from the system as a solid, threatening to block the passage in which it is found, or it passes out into the atmosphere. In order to explain the presence of such a dangerous concentration of sodium in the exit gas stream, it has been proposed that the sodium vapor present in the the system at high temperatures condenses into a mist or aerosol on cooling. This aerosol is stable and will not readily de-entrain or condense onto the surfaces over which it passes. Another possibility is that the oxygen present with the inert …

FATT--A TRANSIENT TEMPERATURE COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR THE EGCR CORE

The computer program FATT for calculating the transient temperature distribution in the EGCR core is described. The program, in FORTRAN for the IBM 7090, provides an arbitrary choice of axial increments for the reactor core. The heat transfer coefficients are made temperature-dependent. Provisions are available for plotiing the results from the program on the Calcomp plotter. The equations and some typical results are included, and the finlte difference method of solution is described. (auth)

Status Report on the Disposal of Radioactive Wastes (open access)

Status Report on the Disposal of Radioactive Wastes

The new and as yet unsolved problems introduced by the production of large quantities of fission products and radioactive isotopes from fission or neutron capture present mankind a most complex technical, economic, and political problem. On one hand, the possibility of using the fission process to produce energy from an unexploited and abundant natural source is emerging from large programs of research and development. We are also beginning to see the promise of use of particulate and electromagnetic radiation for the good of man. On the other hand, we are presented with the problem of controlling the dangerous products of fission for periods of time measured in terms of many hundreds of years, periods longer than the effective tenure of any political state in history. We must not only devise ways of protecting ourselves in the present and for our lifetime but, in addition, we must establish the basic technical, social, and administrative control of vast quantities of artificial radioactivity that must remain effective for at least ten to twenty lifetimes.

Compatibility Tests of Various Materials in Molten Sodium

Several compatibility test of various materials in contact in sodium under 500 psi pressure were conducted for 716 hr at 1500 F. Of the diffusion couples studies, the Inconel-beryllium system showed the largest amount al alloying. The reaction between molybdenum and beryllium resulted in the formation of two compounds, both of which were severely cracked in several areas. The molybdenum-INOR #8, and the INOR #8p type 316 stainless steel interfaces showed little if any alloying.

Multiple Controllers for a Single Process (open access)

Multiple Controllers for a Single Process

A multiple controller system for a single process is formulated in block diagram form. It is shown that for the general case of n controllers and one type of cross coupling, the system equations can be reduced to the standard forms of servomechanism theory. The effects of failure in individual controllers are examined, and it is demonstrated that the system shows considerable promise for both reliability and maintenance without process interruption.
