This proposal outlines an SBIR Phase I supercharged uniflow diesel non-gasoline burning outboard engine design capable of diesel fuel operation and lightweight construction. Inherent specific weight penalties of the Diesel cycle being inversely proportional to specific displacement, indicates a scale reduction of these engines demand greater design discipline relative to the combustion physics th ...

THE DIFFICULTY IN PREDICTING STRUCTURAL DEGRADATION RATES FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANT COMPONENTS DUE TO CORROSION AND OTHER FACTORS HAS LED TO THE NEED FOR COSTLY, TIME CONSUMING INSPECTIONS AND INCREASED COST FROM INTENTIONALLY OVERDESIGNED COMPONENTS. THE SITUATION INDICATES A SERIOUS, UNMET NEED FOR A SIMPLE BUT ACCURATE SYSTEM FOR REAL- TIME, IN SITU, NONDESTRUCTIVE ANALYSIS OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ...

TII SHALL PROCURE, DESIGN, CONSTRUCT, AND TEST A COMPACT PORTABLE SIMULATOR CAPABLE OF EMULATING NUCLEAR POWER STATION-OPERATOR (NPS-OP) INTERFACES, AND EVALUATE AND TEST VARIOUS INTERFACE DESIGNS. THE SUMULATOR WILL BE DESIGNED FOR OPERATOR TRAINING ON ADVANCED REACTORS AND WILL BE USED IN SIMULATING OPERATORS SCENARIOS AND RECORDING AND DOCUMENTING REAL-TIME INPUT FROM THE OPERATOR. THE SIMULATO ...

MRC PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A SAFETY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR (PI) OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC (EM) PROTECTION STATUS OF A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT (NPP). WE BELIEVE THAT SUCH A PI IS NEEDED BECAUSE: (1) EM ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION IS ON THE INCREASE,(2) ADDITIONAL EM THREATS MUST BE EVALUATED, AND (3) DISRUPTION OF NPP OPERATIONS BY EM EFFECTS CAN AND MUST BE AVOIDED. PREVIOUS STUDIES HAVE ADDRESSED THE ISSUE OF E ...

THE RESEARCH PROGRAM WILL DEVELOP A MICROCOMPUTER BASED SYSTEM OF HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE WHICH WILL ALLOW THE USER TOEXECUTE MAINFRAME BASED CODES ON THE MICROCOMPUTER. IN ADDITION PARALLEL EXECUTION OF SEVERAL CODES AT ONCE IS POSSIBLEA SPECIAL INPUT AND OUTPUT PROCESSOR MODULES WILL ALSO BE DEVELOPED TO DEMONSTRATE THE USER FRIENDLY CAPABILITIES OF THE SYSTEM AND FACILITATE INPUT PREPARATION AND ...

WORKER/DOSIMETER (W/D) GEOMETRY AND RELATIONSHIP TO A SOURCEOF RADIATION CAN PROVIDE FALSE RECORDING OF THE RADATION DOSE RECEIVED BY AN INDIVIDUAL. HENCE, TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED (TII) IS PROPOSING A TWO PHASE EFFORT WHICH INVOLVES A COMPUTER SIMULATION EXPERIMENT USING GEOMETRIC MODELING IN CONJUNCTION WITH A DOSE COMPUTATION ALGORITHM, FOLLOWED BY PERFORMANCE OF EXPERIMENTEMPLOYIN ...
