3-D Analysis on Arbitrarily-Shaped Icrf Antennas and Faraday Shields
Cavity antennas with Faraday shields are proposed to couple ion cyclotron radio frequency power for heating fusion plasmas. This application requires small, high-power, low-frequency antennas. The results are presented of a theoretical study of the ICRF antennas being developed for this purpose at the Radio Frequency Test Facility (RFTF). The objectives of this work are to optimize experimental designs and to confirm test results. (MOW)

350 MW(t) design fuel cycle selection. Revision 1
This document discusses the results of this evaluation and a recommendation to retain the graded fuel cycle in which one-half of the fuel elements are exchanged at each refueling. This recommendation is based on the better performance of the graded cycle relative to the evaluation criteria of both economics and control margin. A choice to retain the graded cycle and a power density of 5.9 MW/m{sup 3} for the upcoming conceptual design phase was deemed prudent for the following reasons: the graded cycle has significantly better economics, and essentially the same expected availability factor as the batch design, when both are evaluated against the same requirements, including water ingress; and the reduction in maximum fuel pin power peaking in the batch design compared to the graded cycle is only a few percent and gas hot streaks are not improved by changing to a batch cycle. The preliminary 2-D power distribution studies for both designs showed that maximum fuel pin power peaking, particularly near the inner reflector, was high for both designs and nearly the same in magnitude. 10 figs., 9 tabs.

3d-3p transitions in (. mu. /sup -/He/sup 4/)/sup +/
An experiment to measure the energy of 3d-3p transitions in the (..mu../sup -/He/sup 4/)/sup +/ ion is now in progress. The experiment, which is being performed at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Alternating Gradient Synchrotron, will use an infrared CO/sub 2/ laser to stimulate the transitions. These transitions are of interest because their energy is due almost entirely to the polarization of the vacuum. In a pure Coulomb field, states with the same principal quantum number, n, and total angular momentum, J, are degenerate. Vacuum polarization, because of its nonlinear dependence on electric field strength, results in departure from an inverse square Coulomb field, causing a splitting which depends on the orbital angular momentum, removing the degeneracy. The dominance of vacuum polarization in giving rise to these splittings in the muonic ion is in contrast to the situation in electronic atoms where vacuum polarization makes a very minor contribution to the Lamb shift. 4 refs., 4 figs.

Accelerated beam experiments with the ORNL SITEX (Surface Ionization with Transverse Extraction) and VITEX (Volume Ionization with Transverse Extraction) H/sup -//D/sup -/ sources
Beam parameters have been measured for both the Surface Ionization with Transverse Extraction (SITEX) and Volume Ionization with Transverse Extraction (VITEX) H/sup -//D/sup -/ ion sources. Both sources use a reflex discharge to generate the main plasma. Beam energies up to 18 keV were used for pulse lengths up to several seconds. For SITEX, Faraday cup magnetically analyzed D/sup -/ beam currents of 110 mA at extraction densities of 48 mA/cm/sup 2/ and at a source ion temperature of 4 eV have been measured. For the VITEX results, Faraday cup magnetically analyzed beam currents of up to 80 mA at extraction densities of 27 mA/cm/sup 2/ and at a source ion temperature of 0.5 eV have been measured. Virtually all extracted electrons were recovered at an energy of 10 to 30% of the accel beam energy, and there were none in the analyzed beam.

Acceleration of electrons by the wake field of proton bunches
This paper discusses a novel idea to accelerate low-intensity bunches of electrons (or positrons) by the wake field of intense proton bunches travelling along the axis of a cylindrical rf structure. Accelerating gradients in excess of 100 MeV/m and large ''transformer ratios'', which allow for acceleration of electrons to energies in the TeV range, are calculated. A possible application of the method is an electron-positron linear collider with luminosity of 10/sup 33/ cm/sup -2/ s/sup -1/. The relatively low cost and power consumption of the method is emphasized.

The acceptance of the SSC (Superconducting Supercollider) clustered lattice
The physical apertures of all elements of the SSC storage lattices are considered to determine whether correction of random multipole fields in the triplet quadrupoles is necessary when betatron amplitudes there are no more than the inner radius of the beam pipe. During computer simulated beam tracking the influence of random multiple fields was included as a kick given to the test particle at the center of each quadrupole and at the ends of every dipole. The degree of multipole correction needed is shown. (LEW)

Accuracy of Nodal Transport and Simplified-P3 Fluxes in Benchmark Tests
Here we summarize recent work exploring the accuracy of fluxes computed, both by nodal transport methods, and by the simplified-spherical harmonics (SP/sub l/) method. Apparently, significant errors in nodal transport fluxes were first noted by Wagner et al., and attributed to the isotopic-transverse-leakage (ITL) approximation. Later Lawrence detected substantial errors, due to the ITL approximation, in his nodal transport (NTT) solution of the IAEA Stepanek benchmark problem. Gelbard concluded on theoretical grounds that nodal transport fluxes, computed in XY geometry using ITL, should be much more accurate on the coordinate axes than halfway between them and that, at 45/sup 0/ from the axes, nodal transport methods using ITL should give only about half of the true transport correction.

Accurate interatomic potentials for Ni, Al and Ni/sub 3/Al
To obtain meaningful results from atomistic simulations of materials, the interatomic potentials must be capable of reproducing the thermodynamic properties of the system of interest. Pairwise potentials have known deficiencies that make them unsuitable for quantitative investigations of defective regions such as crack tips and free surfaces. Daw and Baskes (Phys. Rev. B 29, 6443 (1984)) have shown that including a local ''volume'' term for each atom gives the necessary many-body character without the severe computational dependence of explicit n-body potential terms. Using a similar approach, we have fit an interatomic potential to the Ni/sub 3/Al alloy system. This potential can treat diatomic Ni/sub 2/, diatomic Al/sub 2/, fcc Ni, fcc Al and L1/sub 2/ Ni/sub 3/Al on an equal footing. Details of the fitting procedure are presented, along with the calculation of some properties not included in the fit.

Acid-split flowsheets for uranium-plutonium partitioning without a reductant
The flowsheet discussed has been tested in a hot cell experiment using 10% TBP and a poorly controlled temperature near 15/sup 0/C. The test was carried out in the Solvent Extraction Test Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, using highly irradiated mixed-oxide fuel from the Fast Flux Test Facility reactor at Hanford, Washington. The observed concentration profiles for U, Pu, and acid are shown graphically.

Acoustic damping for explicit calculations of fluid flow at low Mach number
A method is proposed for damping the sound waves in explicit calculations of fluid flow at low Mach number, where sound waves are usually not of interest but may distract attention from other flow features. The method is based on the introduction of an artificial pressure q of the form q = - q/sub 0/rhoc/sup 2/..delta..t(del x u - del x u/sub 0/), where q/sub 0/ is a coefficient of order unity, rho is the density, c is the sound speed, ..delta..t is the time step, and u/sub 0/ is the velocity field that would obtain at zero Mach number. When del x u/sub 0/ is zero, the method becomes equivalent to the use of an artificial bulk viscosity q/sub 0/rhoc/sup 2/..delta..t. However, del x u/sub 0/ can be substantially different from zero in problems with heat or mass sources (e.g., combustion), and its inclusion is then essential to obtain the correct pressure field. The method is well suited for use in conjunction with explicit numerical schemes that employ acoustic subcycling or artificial reduction of the sound speed for improved efficiency at low Mach number. The beneficial effects of the method are illustrated by means of calculations with an acoustic …

Acoustic wave scattering from a circular crack: comparison of different computational methods
The work reported was motivated by disagreement between the results obtained from two computations of scattering of an axially incident elastic p-wave on a circular crack. One calculation involves the direct solution of the Helmholtz integral equation, showing an oscillating total cross section. The other uses a program called MOOT, in which the elastic displacement near the crack is expanded in regular spherical eigenfunctions of the elastic wave equation. This calculation shows that the oscillations in total cross section disappear rapidly at high wave numbers. The conjecture that the basis for the MOOT expansion was inappropriate is examined by application to a test problem. Results indicate that there is no inadequacy in the spherical basis set. (LEW)

Actinide removal from nitric acid waste streams
Actinide separations research at the Rocky Flats Plant (RFP) has found ways to significantly improve plutonium secondary recovery and americium removal from nitric acid waste streams generated by plutonium purification operations. Capacity and breakthrough studies show anion exchange with Dowex 1x4 (50 to 100 mesh) to be superior for secondary recovery of plutonium. Extraction chromatography with TOPO(tri-n-octyl-phosphine oxide) on XAD-4 removes the final traces of plutonium, including hydrolytic polymer. Partial neutralization and solid supported liquid membrane transfer removes americium for sorption on discardable inorganic ion exchangers, potentially allowing for non-TRU waste disposal.

Activation analysis of the compact ignition tokamak
The US fusion program has completed the conceptual design of a compact tokamak device that achieves ignition. The high neutron wall loadings associated with this compact deuterium-tritium-burning device indicate that radiation-related issues may be significant considerations in the overall system design. Sufficient shielding will be requied for the radiation protection of both reactor components and occupational personnel. A close-in igloo shield has been designed around the periphery of the tokamak structure to permit personnel access into the test cell after shutdown and limit the total activation of the test cell components. This paper describes the conceptual design of the igloo shield system and discusses the major neutronic concerns related to the design of the Compact Ignition Tokamak.

Active layer hydrology for Imnavait Creek, Toolik, Alaska
In the annual hydrologic cycle, snowmelt is the most significant event at Imnavait Creek located near Toolik Lake, Alaska. Precipitation that has accumulated for more than 6 months on the surface melts in a relatively short period of 7 to 10 days once sustained melting occurs. During the ablation period, runoff dominates the hydrologic cycle. Some meltwater goes to rewetting the organic soils in the active layer. The remainder is lost primarily because of evaporation, since transpiration is not a very active process at this time. Following the snowmelt period, evapotranspiration becomes the dominate process, with base flow contributing the other watershed losses. It is important to note that the water initally lost by evapotranspiration entered the organic layer during melt. This water from the snowpack ensures that each year the various plant communities will have sufficient water to start a new summer of growth.
