SURFACE METAL OXIDE AND OXYHYDROXIDE LAYERS HAVE BEEN IMPLICATED AS TRITIUM TRAPS IN STAINLESS STEELS. A NEW TECHNIQUE IS BEING DEVELOPED FOR MEASURING HYDROGEN ISOTOPE DIFFUSION WITHIN THIS LAYER AND WITHIN PERMEATION BARRIERS MEANT TO LIMIT TRITIUM INVENTORY IN THESE MATERIALS.

THE U.S. HAS AN ESTIMATED 327 BILLION BARRELS OF OIL IN EXISTING PRODUCTION FIELDS WHICH REMAINS IN PLACE EVEN AFTERPRIMARY AND SECONDARY RECOVERY TECHNIQUES HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED. HIGH RESOLUTION BOREHOLE-TO-BOREHOLE SEISMIC TOMOGRAPHY CAN PROVIDE THE INFORMATION NEEDED TO LOCATE THESE UNPRODUCED REGIONS THROUGH THE IDENTIFICATION OF SUBTLE GEOLOGIC ANOMALIES AND CAN BE USED TO ASSESS THE PROGRESS O ...

THE TARGET OF THE PROPOSED PROCESS IS TO CONVERT NATURAL GASFROM SMALLER OR LARGER NATURAL GAS SOURCES (INCLUDING SMALL OUTLYING GAS WELLS OR CO-PRODUCED GAS OUT OF A CRUDE OIL PRODUCING WELL) INTO CRUDE METHANOL AND HYDROCARBONS, AND CENTRALLY CONVERT THESE CRUDE LIQUIDS FURTHER INTO COMPONENTS FOR GASOLINE USE. A LOW-COST PROCESS FOR THESE CONVERSIONS HAS BEEN INVENTED BY DR. VAN DIJK AND MR. FR ...

THIS PROJECT WILL EXAMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEPRESSED COLLECTORS FOR GYROTRONS FOR ACCELERATOR DRIVERS. GYROTRONS ARE POTENTIAL RF DRIVERS FOR ACCELERATORS INVOLVING VERY HIGH AVERAGE POWERS, E.G., 200 MW FOR THE 300-500 GEV ELECTRON-POSITRON COLLIDER. THE EFFICIENCY OF THE GYROTRONS WILL THEN HAVE A LARGE ECONOMIC IMPACT. DEPRESSED COLLECTORS ARE COMMONLY USED IN CONVENTIONAL TUBESFOR EFFICIENCY ...

A PROGRAM IS PROPOSED TO SHOW THE FEASIBILITY OF DEPRESSED COLLECTORS FOR VERY HIGH AVERAGE POWER (APPROX. 1MW) GYROTRON OSCILLATORS FOR FUSION APPLICATIONS. INITIAL CALCULATIONS INDICATE THAT COLLECTION EFFICIENCIES EXCEEDING 75% CAN BE REALIZED. USE OF SUCH A COLECTOR ON A GYROTRON WITH A BASE EFFICIENCY OF 30% WOULD INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY TO OVER 60%. SUCH A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN EFFICIENCY WOU ...
