Environmental behavior of hafnium : the impact on the disposition of weapons-grade plutoniumCerefice, Gary Steven January 1999 (has links)
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, 1999. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 155-161). / Experimental and analytical studies were performed to examine the environmental behavior of hafnium and its utility as a neutron poison for the disposition of weapons-grade plutonium in Yucca Mountain. The hydrolysis of hafnium was investigated by potentiometric titration in solutions of varying ionic strength to determine the stability constants for the first four monomeric hydrolysis products. The specific ion interaction theory is used to extrapolate these results to infinite dilution. The solubility of hafnium hydroxide and a meta-stable hafnium carbonate solid phase are studied via solubility experiments using ICP-AES. An upper bound for the stability constant of the first carbonate complex is determined. The solubility of hafnium oxide is investigated via solubility experiments using neutron activation analysis, which is also used to investigate the complexation of hafnium by silicates. / (cont.) The potential for a near field criticality incident resulting from the disposition of weapons-grade plutonium at Yucca Mountain is examined using two integrated chemistry and transport models, which are then fed into an MCNP model of the near field at the Yucca Mountain repository. These models are used to predict the effective neutron multiplication factor for the system as the waste package degrades over time. Using the integrated degradation and criticality models, the long term criticality behavior of the proposed WGPu host phase ceramic is examined, as well as the utility of hafnium as a criticality control element for the disposition of weapons-grade plutonium. / by Gary S.

Experimental investigation of a coaxial gyrotron oscillatorAdvani, Rahul N January 1999 (has links)
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, 1999. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 157-165). / This thesis presents experimental results of a megawatt power level, 140 GHz coaxial gyrotron oscillator. The coaxial gyrotron has the potential to transport very high power electron beams and thus achieve higher microwave output power levels than conventional gyrotrons. A TE2 ,3 coaxial gyrotron was designed to operate at 95 kV, 76 A. This tube was tested to high power with the first high power Inverted Magnetron Injection Gun (IMIG). The IMIG electron gun was tested to 10 MW (105 kV, 93 A), which is the highest power level for a non-relativistic gyrotron gun. Operation of the coaxial gyrotron oscillator yielded power levels of greater than 1 MW in two different configurations: with the coaxial conductor (at 92kV, 70 A, and 16% efficiency) and without the coaxial conductor (85 kV,65 A, and 18% efficiency). We also successfully operated this tube in three configurations (empty cavity, radial output, and axial output) with no beam interception. We observed regimes of dominant single mode and multi-mode operation. We also identified electron beam asymmetries and tube alignment as two major issues, which can limit the performance of a coaxial gyrotron. An unexpected source of magnetic field error was found in the magnetization of the stainless steel parts. All these results have led to techniques for improving not only coaxial gyrotrons but also other gyrotron tubes. / (cont.) We also investigated a ferroelectric cathode, which has the potential to achieve higher currents than thermionic cathodes in a simpler, low cost gun. We report the first results on a ferroelectric cathode gun in a magnetron injection gun configuration suitable for use in a gyrotron. It had an annular emitter shape with a diameter of 11.4 cm and a width of 0.25 cm and operated at currents of up to 10 A (1.1 A/cm2) at 8 kV, in 5 Vs flat-top pulses. This result (along with the kiloampere beam obtained at Integrated Applied Physics) demonstrate the scalability of ferroelectric cathodes to large diameter electron beams. Also, the first ever microwaves from a ferroelectric cathode were generated in a collaboration experiment at Tel Aviv University. Finally, we developed a theory to explain the emission process from ferroelectric cathodes. The experiments reported have shown the suitability of ferroelectric cathodes for future microwave generation experiments. / by Rahul N. Advani. / Ph.D.
