Studies of beneficial energy applications for krypton-85. Task 83. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5360232
In the FY 78 program year the study of beneficial uses of /sup 85/Kr in energy applications was continued. Effort in developing applications for /sup 85/Kr self-luminous lights continued to show the greatest promise for outdoor markers. An improved model of a delineator proposed for marking airfield taxiways and runways was evaluated; the light display was easily visible at 0.6 km. The procedures for fabricating self-luminous light sources were reviewed, but no improvements could be identified to offset luminance losses apparently caused by radiation damage to the phosphor. A krypton exposure technique (KET) review program was completed which resulted in recommendations of a 5 task research program to develop process reproductibility and standards for NDT inspection of titanium alloy turbine blades for aircraft engines.
