The purpose of this report is to assess the waste tank inventory of uranium, plutonium and Np-237 to determine potential impacts on waste certification for the E-Area vaults (EAV). Procedure WAC 3.10, Rev. 1, of the 1S Manual imposes administrative control limits for radioactive material in waste packages sent to the EAV. Waste tank supernate contains trace amounts of U, Pu, and Np. Thus any material contaminated with supernate and placed in a B-25 waste package may contain one or more of these elements` radioactive isotopes. This report uses material inventory data, solubility data and tank volumes to determine the potential-, for waste packages, contaminated with waste tank supernate, to exceed the administrative control limits of procedure WAC 3. 10, Rev. 1, for U-233, U-234, U-235, U-236, U-238, Np-237, Pu-238, Pu-239, Pu-240, Pu-241, and Pu-242.

I use a piece-wise linear approximation to the directed flux expressions for a flowing Maxwellian fluid to write down boundary conditions for the fluid description of a multicomponent plasma. These boundary conditions are sufficiently robust to treat particle reflection, surface reactions leading to secondary production, diffusion, and field-induced drift of charged species.

Positive-muon spin relaxation ({mu}{sup +}SR) has been carried out in the recently-discovered rare-earth boron carbide superconductors RNi{sub 2}B{sub 2}C, R = Ho, Er and Tm. For R = Ho and Er zero-field {mu}{sup +}SR measurements showed a well-defined internal field below the Neel temperatures of 5.5 K coexisting with the superconducting state down to 0.1 K. The observed temperature dependence of the order parameter for Ho is consistent with a 2-dimensional Ising model. For R = Tm a spontaneous internal field appears above 30 K, whose magnitude saturates below about 3 K at a value corresponding to a rare earth moment much smaller than for Ho and Er. Transverse-field {micro}{sup {minus}}SR measurements in R = Tm showed a superconducting penetration depth {lambda}, = 1,200 {angstrom}. The temperature dependence of {lambda} is consistent with conventional s-wave pairing.

The main objective of this project was to study transition metal carbides and nitrides as catalysts for hydroprocessing. In particular, the goals were to study the solid-state transformations that occur during synthesis of the compounds using a temperature-programmed method, and to investigate the catalytic properties of the materials for the upgrading of model coal liquids at realistic process conditions.

Demand-side management (DSM) remains the centerpiece of California`s energy policy. Over the coming decade, California plans to meet 30 percent of the state`s incremental electricity demand and 50 percent of its peak demand with (DSM) programs. The major investor-owned utilities in California recently completed the first round of program impact studies for energy efficiency programs implemented in 1990 and 1991. The central focus of this paper is to assess the resource planning and policy implications of Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) Company`s recent program evaluations. The paper has three goals. First, we identify and discuss major issues that surfaced from our attempt to apply evaluation results to forecasting and planning questions. Second, we review and summarize the evaluation results for PG&E`s primary energy efficiency programs. Third, we change long-run program assumptions, based on our assessment in the second task, and then examine the impacts of these changes on a recent PG&E demand-side management forecast and resource plan.

The most significant event during this period for the accelerator community is of course the termination of the SSC project. The collaboration with the SSC Laboratory came to an end with the decision to discontinue the effort at Waxahachie. The collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory was also completed. With the close of the SSC, the new association with the LHC group at CERN will become more important than ever. Jicong Shi worked three months at CERN in the area of nonlinear beam dynamics problems in the large hadron collider. Status and main results from the following topics have been reported in Progress Report, DOE/ER/40374-73, covering the first half of this project period: (1) final test of HESQ; (2) coupling impedance of a hole in accelerator beam pipe; (3) new calculation of diffusion rate; (4) integrable polynomial factorization for symplectic map tracking; and (5) physics of magnet sorting in superconducting rings. Status and main results from research reported in this report are as follows: (1) multi-parameter sorting of dipoles for large superconducting rings and (2) integrable polynomial factorization for symplectic map tracking.

SUPERCODE is a systems code used in designing tokamak devices and reactors. This report is divided into 4 chapters. Chapter one covers installing the code and directory organization. The execution of the code, command line editing and history, the shell language, classes, and shell input and output are discussed in chapter two. Chapter three covers the writing modules. In chapter four, the Consts module, Sys module, and Plot module are covered. At the end of the report, the need and use of SUPERCODE are summarized.
