Uranium Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance of the McGrath and Talkeetna NTMS Quadrangles, Alaska, Including Concentrations of Forty-Three Additional Elements (open access)

Uranium Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance of the McGrath and Talkeetna NTMS Quadrangles, Alaska, Including Concentrations of Forty-Three Additional Elements

From abstract: During the summer of 1977, 1268 water and 1206 sediment samples were collected from 1292 lakes and streams throughout the 33 600-km2 area within the boundaries of the McGrath and Talkeetna National Topographic Map Series quadrangles in south-central Alaska. Each of the water samples was analyzed for uranium and 12 other elements, and each of the sediment samples was analyzed for uranium, thorium, and 41 other elements. All of the field and analytical data are listed in appendixes to this report, but only the uranium and thorium data are discussed herein.

Important aspects of radiation shielding for fusion reactor tokamaks (open access)

Important aspects of radiation shielding for fusion reactor tokamaks

Radiation shielding is a key subsystem in tokamak reactors. Design of this shield must evolve from economic and technological trade-off studies that account for the strong interrelations among the various components of the reactor system. These trade-offs are examined for the bulk shield on the inner side of the torus and for the special shields of major penetrations. Results derived are applicable for a large class of tokamak-type reactors.

Influence of access hole parameters on neutron moisture probe readings (open access)

Influence of access hole parameters on neutron moisture probe readings

Computing soil moisture content with a neutron probe requires use of a calibration curve that considers the thermal neutron capture cross section of the hole liner as well as the hole diameter. The influence of steel, polyvinyl chloride, and aluminum casings that fit 0.051 to 0.102-hole diameters was determined by comparison with neutron probe readings in uncased holes of corresponding diameters. Eccentricity of probe location was considered a potentially significant variable. The relationship between hole diameter and count rate also was investigated. The experiment was run in disturbed Bandelier tuff with an average dry density of 1.2 g . cm/sup -3/ and moisture content of 1.3 to 35.5% by volume. The casing material and hole diameter influenced the probe readings significantly, whereas eccentric location of the probe did not. Regression analyses showed an almost perfect inverse linear correlation between hole diameter and count rate.

Research and development efforts relative to superconducting materials. Final report. [Nb/sub 3/Sn tapes] (open access)

Research and development efforts relative to superconducting materials. Final report. [Nb/sub 3/Sn tapes]

Three processes for the production of low-loss superconducting tapes of Nb/sub 3/Sn were investigated. They are the rolled-bronze process, the electron beam (EB) bronze deposition process, and the high-rate sputtering process. Shortly after the start of the investigation, effort on the last two processes was suspended because the process-development time that would be needed to arrive at a suitable transmission-line tape appeared most likely to be the shortest with the rolled-bronze process. Long lengths of Nb/sub 3/Sn tapes were prepared by the rolled-bronze process from extruded and rolled bronze-clad niobium billets. Tapes were stabilized by removing the bronze layer after reaction and then coating the exposed Nb/sub 3/Sn with high-purity copper by EB evaporation. Several meters of high quality Nb/sub 3/Sn tapes were produced by the rolled-bronze process. Even when the tapes were stabilized with copper, the losses were as low as 1.8 ..mu..W/cm/sup 2/ at 4.2 K and a surface current density of 500 rms A/cm. Despite early curtailment of the effort on the EB bronze-deposition process, short samples of Nb/sub 3/Sn tapes were produced.

Flow Transients in CLIRA and TSMDA (open access)

Flow Transients in CLIRA and TSMDA

From joint meeting of the American Nuclear Society and the Atomic Industrial Forum and Nuclear Energy Exhibition; San Francisco, California, USA (11 Nov 1973). The capability of the Closed Loop In-Reactor Assembly (CLIRA) in FFTF to accommodate various postulated events is demonstrated. These events include, in their order of severity, (a) flow coastdown, (b) inlet pipe break, and (c) inlet blockage. All of these accidents are extremely unlikely, nonetheless the consequences of even the most severe flow-transient accident is shown to cause no failure propagation to the reactor, even if a Test Section Meltdown Accident (TSMDA) should result.

Assessment of powdered activated carbon addition to anaerobic digesters at Salt Lake City, Utah (open access)

Assessment of powdered activated carbon addition to anaerobic digesters at Salt Lake City, Utah

The Salt Lake City Water Reclamation Plant has added powdered activated carbon to its influent wastewater since January 1977. Battelle Pacific Northwest Laboratory has gathered and analyzed operational data from the treatment plant in an effort to identify beneficial effects of the carbon. Benefits occurring during anaerobic digestion were of principal interest. Three potential areas of enhanced treatment were investigated: reduced solids in the primary clarifier effluent; increased anaerobic digester gas production; and increased sludge stabilization rate. Review of the data from the Salt Lake City plant indicates that carbon did not significantly affect these aspects of the plant operation. However, the carbon dose rate was generally lower than that used in other carbon addition studies. Therefore, data from Salt Lake City can be interpreted to mean only that carbon does not produce the above benefits at low doses. Potential benefits identified by other investigators using higher carbon dose rates have not been invalidated.

Transport modeling in the environment using the discrete-parcel-random-walk approach (open access)

Transport modeling in the environment using the discrete-parcel-random-walk approach

When formulating a mathematical model for simulating transport processes in the environment, the system of interest can be viewed as a continuum of matter and energy or as a large set of small discrete parcels of mass and energy. The latter approach is used in the formulation of the Discrete-Parcel-Random-Walk (DPRW) Transport Model. Each parcel has associated with it a set of spatial coordinates as well as a set of discrete quantities of mass and energy. A parcel's movement is assumed to be independent of any other parcel in the system. A Lagrangian scheme is used for computing the parcel advection and a Markov random walk concept is used for simulating the parcel diffusion and dispersion. The DPRW technique is not subject to numerical dispersion and it can be applied to three-dimensional cases with only a linear increase in computation time. A wide variety of complex source/sink terms can be included in the model with relative ease. Examples of the model's application in the areas of oil spill drift forecasting, coastal power plant effluent analysis, and solute transport in groundwater systems are presented.
