Note: Cover page has a typographical error as it ends with "Protrons" and not "Protons". The title page is correct. LAHET stands for Los Alamos High-Energy Transport. There has been considerable interest in improving the fission models in the LAHET Monte Carlo code for the transport and interaction of nucleons, pions, muons, light ions, and antinucleons. Although subactinide fission contributes little to neutron production in lead or tungsten targets, it can be significant for simulation of target activation and fission product contamination. Benchmark calculations made with the LAHET code system are presented of differential neutron production cross sections for 113 MeV neutrons and 256 MeV incident protons. Results are compared with recent data from Los Alamos National Laboratory experiments. The examples shown… Read More

This project was one of the first that took solar energy out of the realm of the affluent and individual experimenter and into the realm of the man on the street by developing solar heating and cooling systems suitable for assembly line production of factory-built mobile/modular housing. Project funding came from the Division of Solar Energy of the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration. Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating,… Read More

Los Alamos, NM: Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration, Los Alamos Site Office, 2011. Presumed unique compilation. DVD. Very good. CD/DVD Contains LASO WQAP, LASO Institutional QAP, LASO Functions, Responsibilities, and Authorities (FRAs), and LASO Quality Assurance Management Procedures. Quality assurance (QA) is a way of preventing mistakes and defects in manufactured products and avoiding problems when delivering products or services to customers; which ISO 9000 defines as "part of quality management focused on providing confidence that quality requirements will be fulfilled". This defect prevention in quality assurance differs subtly from defect detection and rejection in quality control and has been referred to as a shift left since it focuses on quality earlier in the process (i.e., to the left of a linear process diagram reading left to right). When properly implemented, the principles and requirements form a management system to plan, perform, assess, and improve… Read More
