Kilowatt Isotope Power System: Component Test Report for the Electric Heat Source Assembly. 77-KIPS-108 (open access)

Kilowatt Isotope Power System: Component Test Report for the Electric Heat Source Assembly. 77-KIPS-108

The purpose of the acceptance testing was to demonstrate that the electrical heat source assembly (EHSA) has completed sufficient testing to satisfy the requirements set forth within the Kilowatt Isotope Power System (KIPS) Component Test Procedure (No. KIPS1020304) for the electrical heat source assembly. The results of the acceptance testing/analysis on the EHSA are presented.

Quark--parton model with large parton k/sub T/ (open access)

Quark--parton model with large parton k/sub T/

The quark--parton model is generalized to allow for arbitrarily large parton k/sub T/. Since it is expected that < k/sub T/ > will rise with Q/sup 2/ in (highly virtual) photon mediated processes, this generalization is necessary to restore the applicability of the quark-parton model. By treating k/sub T/ as an essential kinematical variable, the introduction of a new scaling variable z is considered. Together with Bjorken's x variable, a unified kinematical description is given of the four distribution functions: hadron structure functions and jet decay functions for spacelike and timelike photons. The possibility of a simple interpolating universal function is considered. Phenomenological determination of that function is examined in detail. Predictions on R, parton < k/sub T/ >, hadron < p/sub T/> in jets, etc., are made with the dimuon < q/sub T/ > being used as an input. The usual relation <q/sub T/ > = ..sqrt..2 < k/sub T > is shown to be false in the region where k/sub T/ is not small compared to k/sub L/, a situation which prevails in the production of dileptons recently measured. The k/sub T/ distributions for timelike and spacelike cases are shown to be not identical. The model is consistent …

INREM II: a computer implementation of recent models for estimating the dose equivalent to organs of man from an inhaled or ingested radionuclide (open access)

INREM II: a computer implementation of recent models for estimating the dose equivalent to organs of man from an inhaled or ingested radionuclide

This report describes a computer code, INREM II, which calculates the internal radiation dose equivalent to organs of man which results from the intake of a radionuclide by inhalation or ingestion. Deposition and removal of radioactivity from the respiratory tract is represented by the ICRP Task Group Lung Model. A four-segment catenary model of the GI tract is used to estimate movement of radioactive material that is ingested or swallowed after being cleared from the respiratory tract. Retention of radioactivity in other organs is specified by linear combinations of decaying exponential functions. The formation and decay of radioactive daughters is treated explicitly, with each radionuclide species in the chain having its own uptake and retention parameters, as supplied by the user. The dose equivalent to a target organ is computed as the sum of contributions from each source organ in which radioactivity is assumed to be situated. This calculation utilizes a matrix of S-factors (rem/..mu..Ci-day) supplied by the user for the particular choice of source and target organs. Output permits the evaluation of crossfire components of dose when penetrating radiations are present. INREM II is coded in FORTRAN IV and has been compiled and executed on an IBM-360 computer.
