Previously reported Monte Carlo code calculations of the electron energy distributions and the consequent reflex triode characteristics will be presented for two different anode designs. In addition, a generalized formulation of Poisson's equation will be used to examine the virtual cathode side of a reflex diode. The familiar ''resonance'' solution for the reflex triode is again found, but with a different physical interpretation. In the former case the current diverges, but in the virtual cathode space the linear dimension diverges as one approaches the ''resonance.''

Data validation procedures and correlations are detailed as well as system performance results. The latter includes solar collection, heat pump performance, tank temperature stratification, building infiltration and system heating output/building energy requirements. The procedure to computer model the Solar Building and correlate the model with field collected data is described.

The neutron spectra produced by bombarding a thick beryllium target with 30-MeV deuterons at the University of California, Davis, cyclotron was measured. These spectra are of interest in studying the effect of neutrons on materials to be used in future fusion reactors. The spectra were inferred from the activation of two sets of detector foils placed at an angle THETA = 0/sup 0/ to the deuteron beam, one immediately behind the beryllium target block, and one 40 mm to the rear. The SAND-II program was used to analyze the foil activation data to obtain the fluence in each of one hundred energy groups. The neutron spectrum (fluence/MeV) close to the target decreases continuously with energy in the range 2 to 30 MeV, while the spectrum 40 mm back has a minimum at about 8 MeV and a peak at about 14 MeV. The contribution from neutrons of energies less than 10 MeV is much greater than that found in previous spectral measurements made at large distances from the target. This difference is attributed to the neutrons which are emitted at large angles from the deuteron beam. These observations show the importance of evaluating the neutron spectrum near the target if …

Use of a finite Larmor radius buildup code has resulted in revised predictions for the fusion engineering research facility (FERF) plasma. Because of charge-exchange erosion of the plasma surface, the radial density profile is found to be quite flat, in contrast to a previously predicted cubic profile. At a given value of n tau, the required beam current and the fusion neutron flux are significantly larger than previously predicted.

A number of materials in and within the proximity of buildings housing fusion energy experiments (FEE) were analyzed for their potential fire hazard. The materials used in this study were mostly: electrical and thermal insulations. The fire hazard of these materials was assessed in terms of their ease of ignition, heat release rate, generation of smoke, and the effect of thermal environment on the combustion behavior. Several fire protection measures for buildings housing the (FEE) projects are analyzed and as a result of this study are found to be adequate for the near term.

The CHAMP computer code was employed to simulate a plane-geometry cross section of a Mark I boiling water reactor toroidal pressure suppression system air discharge experiment under hypothetical loss-of-coolant accident conditions. The experiments were performed at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory on a /sup 1///sub 5/-scale model of the Peach Bottom Nuclear Power Plant.

A thermal analysis was performed on a LOFT drag disc turbine (DTT) for a nuclear LOCE. Thermal gradients through the DTT shroud and turbine body, and temperature differences between body and shroud were calculated. This was done to determine the possible need for additional stress analyses of the DTT shroud to body welds based on thermal loads for a nuclear LOCE.

Fracture mechanics evaluations were performed for three welds in the LOFT blowdown system and one weld in the LOFT primary coolant system. Because the applied stress is not known, a sensitivity analysis was run. The assumed initial defect size was one that had a small probability of being missed; applied stresses of 68.9, 137.8, 206.7, and 344.8 MPa were used. It was found that at the lowest stress (68.9 MPa or 10 ksi) the number of cycles from the initial size to rupture was over 6 x 10/sup 6/. The current calculations indicate that with the worst crack configuration--depth-to-length ratio (a/2c) of 0.10--about 1000 cycles with a peak stress of 227.5 MPa (33 ksi) will be needed to propagate the 0.5 x 5.1 cm (0.2 x 2.0 in.) crack to failure.

The purpose of the study was to look at some of the potential problems associated with reseeding or reclamation in the buffer zone at the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant near Golden, Colorado. During the time covered by this report, another contract dealing with the Grasslands Irradiation Site was transferred to this contract. It was proposed that plant sensitivity to an internal alpha dose, such as might be encountered on Pu contaminated or uranium mine mill tailing contaminated soils, be measured using chromosome aberrations as the end point. This three year report is divided into two subproject reports; one dealing with the Rocky Flats work and one dealing with the grasslands irradiation study. The objectives of the first study were to determine a rapid and feasible method of revegetation;determine a revegetation method such that the vegetation will revert to a natural system as rapidly as possible; and develop a predictive model for soil movement by wind during the revegetation period. The results of the second investigation to date are as follows. There was no change in diversity over the last 3 year period. There was no change in coefficient of community over the last 3 year period. There was no …

The coordination study of 1972 performed by Mr. N.A. Williams of Kaiser Engineers (LTR 13 10-3) is examined and updated based upon 1977 loads. Present overcurrent relay settings are presented and evaluated for adequacy in terms of the updated short circuit analysis. Recommendations are made for new relay and trip device settings to improve coordination. Switchgear ratings are examined against available short circuit currents, and recommendations are made where applicable. Vital MCC-A and B are examined in detail to provide maximum continuity of service for every fault contingency. A recommendation is made to improve the reliability of these buses.
