[en] There are 3 types of REWDC container types listed. Type 1 is used for long term storage of conditions waste. It's made of steel and it's a 55-gallon galvanized drum with a 90 mil HDPE liner. Type 2 is used for solid waste, point of generation and short term storage. It can be made of steel or poly. They come in 2-gallon, 5-gallon, 30-gallon, and 55-gallon drums used with 4 mil polyethylene liner. Type 3 is used for liquid waste. It can be made of steel or poly. It comes in 2-gallon, 5-gallon, 30-gallon, or 55-gallon drums. They have a closed head.

[en] Livermore and DOE's Oakland Operations Office teamed up to decontaminate, decommission, and close out-on time and under budget-the Ann Arbor Inertial Confinement Fusion Facility in Michigan. To execute the project, the Laboratory formed a team of hazardous waste management experts, a health physicist, industrial hygienists, hazards control technicians, and former KMS Fusion employees who were familiar with the building's past experimental processes. The major goals of the cleanup effort were to identify and remove the tritium; analyze and dispose of thousands of containers of chemicals (some radioactive); decontaminate and dispose of equipment; decontaminate the building; remove any other contaminated items; and return the cleaned building to its commercial owner for unrestricted use. They developed a waste sampling and analysis plan; characterized legacy waste (in drums generated during the facility's operation) and process waste generated from this project's activities; and after certification, packaged the waste for storage at the Nevada Test Site and DOE's Hanford, Washington, complex

[en] The Moab quadrangle, Utah and Colorado, includes highly productive uranium and uranium-vanadium deposits and has a significant resource potential. This report summarizes the geology of the area, and briefly describes the habits of the uranium and vanadium deposits. An appraisal is made of the uranium and vanadium resources of the area, and suggestions are made for prospecting several of the more favorable parts of the area. 30 refs

[en] A highly contaminated glove-box at LLNL containing plutonium was decontaminated using a strippable decontamination gel. 6 x 12 inch quadrants were mapped out on each of the surfaces. The gel was applied to various surfaces inside the glove-box and was allowed to cure. The radioactivity in each quadrant was measured using a LLNL Blue Alpha meter with a 1.5 inch standoff distance. The results showed decontamination factors of 130 and 210 on cast steel and Lexan(reg_sign) surfaces respectively after several applications. The gel also absorbed more than 91% of the radiation emitted from the surfaces during gel curing. The removed strippable film was analyzed by neutron multiplicity counting and gamma spectroscopy, yielding relative mass information and radioisotopic composition respectively

[en] The quasioptical gyrotron (QOG) is currently under development at the US Naval Research Lab. as a high power source of millimeter-wave radiation. A quasioptical gyroklystron configuration has recently been realized by the addition of an open-mirror prebunching resonator driven by an 85 GHz, 1.5 kW extended interaction oscillator (EIO). The experiment is designed to operate at a voltage of 70 kV and beam currents of 5-15 A. The experiment is currently in progress, and results are presented for EIO mode priming and depressed collector operation at powers up to 100 kW. A technique for increasing the efficiency by adjusting the electron beam parameters on the rise of the voltage pulse is also described

[en] Several properties of the Fabry-Perot-type open resonator used in the quasioptical gyrotron (QOG) and the quasioptical induced resonance electron cyclotron (IREC) maser are derived. The electric fields of the normal modes are given for the general case of the resonator axis tilted with respect to the direction perpendicular to the electron beam axis. The ohmic quality factor and the power dissipated in the mirrors are derived, as is the energy stored in the resonator. The time dependence of the mirror heating, relevant for pulsed experiments, is also derived. The formulae are applied to an example of current relevance, the quasioptical IREC maser resonator

[en] The quasioptical gyrotron (QOG), which features an open resonator formed by a pair of spherical mirrors instead of the conventional gyrotron waveguide cavity, has been under development at the U. S. Naval Research Laboratory as a tunable high power millimeter-wave source for tokamak plasma heating, advanced radars, and power beaming. Results have recently been obtained for a quasioptical gyroklystron (QOGK) realized by the addition of an open-mirror prebunching resonator driven by an 85 GHz, 1.5 kW extended interaction oscillator. Efficiency enhancement by mode priming has been investigated, and efficiencies up to 19% have been obtained by increasing the frequency detuning of the operating mode. An overall efficiency of 30% was obtained by the addition of a simple depressed collector. Phase-locked operation was demonstrated at a power of 57 kW and efficiency of 16%. The high circulating power in the QOG resonator is currently being considered for use as an electromagnetic wiggler for compact infrared free-electron lasers. The QOG is also promising as a source for an active sensor of upper atmosphere trace impurities
