Slurry phase iron catalysts for indirect coal liquefaction. Second semi-annual progress report, January 5, 1996--July 4, 1996 (open access)

Slurry phase iron catalysts for indirect coal liquefaction. Second semi-annual progress report, January 5, 1996--July 4, 1996

During this period, work was continued on understanding the attrition of precipitated iron catalysts and work initiated on synthesizing catalysts containing silica binders. Use of a sedigraph particle size analyzer with an ultrasonic probe provides a simple method to test the strength of catalyst agglomerates, allowing the strength comparison of silica and hematite catalysts (the former is considerably stronger). Study of Fe/silica interactions was continued. Addition of a colloidal silica precursor to calcined Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3} catalyst had no detrimental effect on reducibility of the hematite to {alpha}-Fe. XRD and electron microscopy will be used to analyze the crystal structure and types of C present in samples from long Fischer-Tropsch runs.

Results from GAMMASPHERE in the A {approx} 80 mass region (open access)

Results from GAMMASPHERE in the A {approx} 80 mass region

We present recent results obtained with GAMMASPHERE for nuclei in the A{approx}80 mass region. These studies have concentrated on a systematic study of superdeformed bands and their transitional quadrupole moments. Normally-deformed rotational bands in a series of even-even T{sub z} = 1 nuclei were also investigated to probe the possible influence of the np pairing on the structure of their yrast bands.

Consequence analysis of a postulated NaOH release from the 2727-W sodium storage facility (open access)

Consequence analysis of a postulated NaOH release from the 2727-W sodium storage facility

Toxicological and radiological consequences were calculated for a maximum sodium fire in the 2727-W Sodium Storage Facility. The sodium is solid and cannot leak out of the tanks. The maximum fire therefore corresponded to the maximum cross-sectional area of one tank. It was shown that release of the entire facility inventory of {sup 22}Na is insufficient to produce an appreciable effect.
