  • This report includes: MgCl{sub 2} purification and molten salt preparation facilities have been completed at both the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The purification of MgCl{sub 2} is being studied. Initial Raman spectral results have been obtained at both facilities. Two analytical spectral techniques involving near-infrared (NIR) and IR reflectance spectral measurements show promise for identifying and quantifying OH species in solid salts of interest. A sealed IR reflectance cell has been developed for use in the project. An electrochemical cell for use in voltammetric studies concerned with the project has been designed and fabricated. 5more » refs., 2 figs.« less
  • This project was canceled shortly after final approval. Thus, there are no accomplishments. The major problem encountered was the extreme effort required to obtain approval (about two years) to start work. No lessons were learned. No close-outs items require addressing. No contracts were let. Only two commitments were scheduled to be completed before the Y-12 cancellation: both involved the industrial partners: (1) the industrial partners were to define the preferred sensor power requirements, this was completed and the details are treated as proprietary or CRADA-Protected Information; (2) the industrial partners were to perform a physical integration assessment of sensor technologiesmore » and the details are treated as proprietary or CRADA-Protected Information.« less
  • Computer Application Systems, Inc. is currently developing a capciflector sensor for a variety of commercial applications, e.g., object detection in robotics. The goal of this project was to create computational tools for simulating the performance of this device. The role of modeling is to provide a quantitative understanding of how the sensor works, and to assist in designing optimal sensor configurations for specific applications. A two-dimensional boundary integral code for determining the electric field was constructed, and a novel algorithm for solving the inverse design problem was investigated. Parallel implementation of the code, which will be required for detailed three-dimensionalmore » analysis, was also investigated.« less
