Physics of reactor safety. Quarterly report, July-September 1980. Volume III (open access)

Physics of reactor safety. Quarterly report, July-September 1980. Volume III

This Quarterly progress report summarizes work done during the months of July-September 1980 in Argonne National Laboratory's Applied Physics and Components Technology Divisions for the Division of Reactor Safety Research of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The work in the Applied Physics Division includes reports on reactor safety modeling and assessment by members of the Reactor Safety Appraisals Section. Work on reactor core thermal-hydraulics is performed in ANL's Components Technology Division, emphasizing 3-dimensional code development for LMFBR accidents under natural convection conditions. An executive summary is provided including a statement of the findings and recommendations of the report.

Wisconsin State Briefing Book for low-level radioactive waste management (open access)

Wisconsin State Briefing Book for low-level radioactive waste management

The Wisconsin State Briefing Book is one of a series of state briefing books on low-level radioactive waste management practices. It has been prepared to assist state and federal agency officials in planning for safe low-level radioactive waste disposal. The report contains a profile of low-level radioactive waste generators in Wisconsin. The profile is the result of a survey of NRC licensees in Wisconsin. The briefing book also contains a comprehensive assessment of low-level radioactive waste management issues and concerns as defined by all major interested parties including industry, government, the media, and interest groups. The assessment was developed through personal communications with representatives of interested parties, and through a review of media sources. Lastly, the briefing book provides demographic and socioeconomic data and a discussion of relevant government agencies and activities, all of which may impact waste management practices in Wisconsin.

Patterns of United States mortality for ten selected causes of death (open access)

Patterns of United States mortality for ten selected causes of death

Income, ethnicity, education, and occupation are examples of socio-economic factors associated with the occurrence of disease, whether an investigation focuses on an individual or on an aggregation of individuals. In this study, data aggregated to the county level are used to explore two issues - geographic variation and geographic covariation of ten selected causes of death in the United States. The counties of the United States are characterized by 15 socio-economic variables and age-adjusted mortality rates for the ten selected causes of death. The observed variation among the US counties, as measured by the socio-economic variables, is first assessed, then the geographic variation and covariation are described for each cause of death and, finally, the covariation among causes of death is analyzed after adjusting for the influences of the measured sources of county variation.

Experimental determination of lower plenum ECC injection effectiveness (open access)

Experimental determination of lower plenum ECC injection effectiveness

The effectiveness of lower plenum emergency core coolant (ECC) injection during a double ended offset shear cold leg break loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) was investigated experimentally in a small-scale model of a pressurized water reactor (PWR). In order to determine relative merit of the lower plenum injection concept to mitigate the severity of a large break LOCA, data from lower plenum injection experiments were compared to data from an experiment in the Semiscale Mod-3 sytem in which cold leg ECC injection was utilized. The results indicated that lower plenum injection was extremely effective in initiating early reflooding of the core and earlier rod quenching than was observed in the cold leg injection experiment.

Local volume-time averaged equations of motion for dispersed, turbulent, multiphase flows (open access)

Local volume-time averaged equations of motion for dispersed, turbulent, multiphase flows

In most flows of liquids and their vapors, the phases are dispersed randomly in both space and time. These dispersed flows can be described only statistically or in terms of averages. Local volume-time averaging is used here to derive a self-consistent set of equations governing momentum and energy transfer in dispersed, turbulent, multiphase flows. The empiricisms required for use with these equations are the subject of current research.

COMMIX-SA-1: a Three-Dimensional Thermohydrodynamic Computer Program for Solar Applications (open access)

COMMIX-SA-1: a Three-Dimensional Thermohydrodynamic Computer Program for Solar Applications

COMMIX-SA-1 is a three-dimensional, transient, single-phase, compressible-flow, component computer program for thermohydrodynamic analysis. It was developed for solar applications in general, and for analysis of thermocline storage tanks in particular. The conservation equations (in cylindrical coordinates) for mass, momentum, and energy are solved as an initial-boundary-value problem. The detailed numerical-solution procedure based on a modified ICE (Implicit Continuous-Fluid Eulerian) technique is described. A method for treating the singularity problem arising at the origin of a cylindrical-coordinate system is presented. In addition, the thermal interactions between fluid and structures (tank walls, baffles, etc.) are explicitly accounted for. Finally, the COMMIX-SA-1 code structure is delineated, and an input description and sample problems are presented.

LCLSQ: An Implementation of an Algorithm for Linearly Constrained Linear Least-Squares Problems (open access)

LCLSQ: An Implementation of an Algorithm for Linearly Constrained Linear Least-Squares Problems

This report describes the implementation of an algorithm of Stoer and Schittkowski for solving linearly constrained linear least-squares problems. These problems arise in many areas, particularly in data fitting where a model is provided and parameters in the model are selected to be a best least-squares fit to known experimental observations. By adding constraints to the least-squares fit, one can force user-specified properties on the parameters selected. The algorithm used applies a numerically stable implementation of the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization procedure to deal with a factorization approach for solving the constrained least-squares problem. The software developed allows for either a user-supplied feasible starting point or the automatic generation of a feasible starting point, re-decomposition after solving the problem to improve numerical accuracy, and diagnostic printout to follow the computations in the algorithm. In addition to a description of the actual method used to solve the problem, a description of the software structure and the user interfaces is provided, along with a numerical example.
