Title: Design, Modeling and Simulations in the RACE Project: Preliminary study for the development of a transport line

Abstract

As part of the Reactor Accelerator Coupling Experiment (RACE) a set of preliminary studies were conducted to design a transport beam line that could bring a 25 MeV electron beam from a Linear Accelerator to a neutron-producing target inside a subcritical system. Because of the relatively low energy beam, the beam size and a relatively long beam line (implicating a possible divergence problem) different parameters and models were studied before a final design could be submitted for assembly. This report shows the first results obtained from different simulations of the transport line optics and dynamics.

    Design studies are being made on a high temperature gas-cooled reactor (The Dragon H.T.G.R. Project). This research reactor will be used to investigate the problems of high temperature gas-cooled reactors. Preliminary designs for a 10 Mw reactor have been made at Harwell. A general arrangement of the reactor is shown in drawings. The basic principles of the final design are discussed. (A.C.)

    This study investigates the potential of DUSTRAN, a dust dispersion modeling system developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, to model the transport of sea salt aerosols (SSA). Results from DUSTRAN simulations run with historical meteorological data were compared against privately-measured chloride data at the near coastal Maine Yankee Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) and the Environmental Protection Agency-measured CASTNET data from Acadia National Park (NP). The comparisons have provided both encouragement as to the practical value of DUSTRAN’s CALPUFF model and suggestions for further software development opportunities. All modeled concentrations were within one order of magnitude of those measured and amore » few test cases showed excellent agreement between modeled and measured concentrations. However, there is a lack of consistency in discrepancy which may be due to inaccurate extrapolation of meteorological data, underlying model physics, and the source term. Future research will refine the software to better capture physical phenomena. Overall, results indicate that with parameter refinement, DUSTRAN has the potential to simulate atmospheric chloride transport from known sources to inland sites for the purpose of determining the corrosion susceptibility of various structures, systems, and components at the site.« less

    In developing a data system for the Eastern Gas Shales Project, analysts edited and converted geological, geochemical, geophysical, and engineering data from Devonian shale samples from more than 5800 wells and outcrops in the Appalachian basin. The database contains two separate files - one for well data, a second for shale-sample data - that can be retrieved to produce: (1) production test summaries, (2) shale-unit maps, (3) sample summary reports, (4) structural cross sections, and (5) frequency distributions. A discussion of the problems encountered in executing such a massive project should assist others in creating similar data systems.
