Recycle preparation methods were evaluated for secondary aqueous waste streams likely to be produced during reactor fuel fabrication and reprocessing. Adsorption, reverse osmosis, and ozonization methods were evaluated on a laboratory scale for their application to the treatment of wastewater. Activated carbon, macroreticular resins, and polyurethanes were tested to determine their relative capabilities for removing detergents and corrosive anions from wastewater. Conceptual flow sheets were constructed for purifying wastewater by reverse osmosis. In addition, the application of ozonization techniques for water recycle preparation was examined briefly.

PSEPLOT is a computer routine that was developed for the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory Octopus computer system to generate several thousand plots of engineering data in a consistent format for referencing and comparison. The time-dependent engineering data were recorded during each of 25 tests of the Mark I Pressure Suppression Experiment (PSE). Although PSEPLOT is restricted to PSE, its concept is applicable to any similar data management task.

The Aerospace Corporation is providing technical analysis support services to the DOE Transportation Energy Conservation Division. The work to be performed by The Aerospace Corporation for the DOE/TEC is confined to the following basic task areas: (1) technical support of ongoing research and development programs in energy efficient transportation systems; (2) analysis for the future commercialization of transportation technologies; (3) new concept evaluation program support; (4) technical evaluation of new concepts, inventions, and ideas; (5) assessment of technological and other factors on the implementation and utilization of transportation in the United States; and (6) program planning analysis and documentation. Progress is reported in the areas of heat engine systems, alternative fuels utilization, nonhighway transport systems, and electric and hybrid vehicles. (WHK)

The concept of order is analyzed for general hadronic amplitudes. It is shown that unitarity imposes restrictions on the graphs used to represent the ordered amplitudes and the most general graphs consistent with unitarity are derived and then analyzed in terms of their topological properties. The mathematical ingredients for the classification of higher order corrections to the ordered amplitudes are introduced. Three ''indices'' characterizing the topological amplitudes and their products are defined and are shown to be consistent and complete for the classification. A connection with the 1/N expansion, similar to the one introduced by Veneziano for mesons, is suggested.

The effect of powdered activated carbon on stressed anaerobic digesters utilizing a sewage sludge substrate was evaluated. The addition of carbon resulted in increased methanee production and greater process stability. The degree of enhancement appeared to be proportional to carbon concentration over the dose range studied (500-10,000 mg/l). A maximum increase in methane production of about 150% was observed at the highest carbon dose. The effect of 1500 mg/l carbon, 4000 mg/l coal, and 4000 mg/l flyash on relatively unstressed digesters was also examined. Units using a sewage sludge substrate were operated at 10 and 20 day SRT's. A 12% increase in methane production was observed in a carbon dosed digester functioning at a 10 day detention time. Enhancement was not evident with carbon at a 20 day SRT. No significant improvement in methane production was obtained in any of the digesters using coal or flyash as additives. Using the experimental data, a technique was developed for estimating the efficiencies of the methane forming and acid forming steps in the anaerobic digestion process. The results indicated that in stressed systems both stages of the digestion process were enhanced by the addition of powdered carbon. In the relatively unstressed systems, when …

A Hamilton Standard 7.5-kW electron-beam welder has been extensively rebuilt, upgraded, and computer automated to provide accurate, repeatable, multipass, wirefed welds with stored seam tracking. Tests have shown that the seam-tracking system can keep the beam on a true line within approximately +-0.05 millimeter, even in the presence of a strongly deflecting magnet.

BBC is a two-dimensional, multifluid Eulerian hydro code based on the code KRAKEN and some later development. Either cylindrical or slab problems can be run. The grid is bounded by a rectangular band of empty boundary zones. The interfaces between the regular and boundary zones can be selected to be either rigid or vacuum interfaces. The setup for BBC problems is described in the KEG manual. The present report includes several options not available in the original version of BBC. (RWR)

Investigation and assessment of the potential degrading and destructive effects associated with the nuclear electromagnetic (EMP) phenomena has created a large technological base. This base is indeed quite broad owing to the unique and system-pervasive character of the EMP. One of the aims of an emerging discipline, such as that associated with EMP, is to provide for adequate transfer and integration of the developing technology into the overall engineering community. The needs of the community and how EMP hardening and protection information can be transferred or exchanged are reviewed. Many of the current and generally available sources of information are listed, examples of interchange methods are provided, and problems of developing specifications, standards, and suitable guidelines for design and incorporation of protection are also discussed.
