Abstract: Hydrogen is used as the fuel source in a gas turbine combined cycle power plant. The hydrogen may be combusted in either a mixture of compressed air and steam or a mixture of pure oxygen and steam. In either case, the work of compression associated with pressurizing the oxidant for the combustion process is considerably reduced since steam, rather than excess air, is used to moderate combustion temperature, as well as to cool the turbine components. The steam is produced by transferring heat from the turbine exhaust gas to feed water. Since no hydrocarbon fuel is used, fuel bond NOx is eliminated. Moreover, if pure oxygen is used, rather than air, for the combustion of the hydrogen, then the only emission from the power plant is water vapor, which may be condensed and returned to the cycle.

Abstract: An I.D. pipe clamp used for holding the ends of two pipes during welding, and having a means for inspecting the inside diameter of the root pass of the weld without removal of the pipe clamp or breaking of the purge gas seal. The pipe clamp has a frame with two clamping mechanisms for locking the clamp in position within the pipe ends. A means for inspecting, such as a video camera or other nondestructive testing device, is mounted on the pipe clamp between the two clamping mechanisms. Gas purge dams are located proximate each clamping mechanism to facilitate the creation of an inert gas purge in the region of the weld joint. The means for inspecting is operated to inspect the root pass of the weld prior to breaking the gas purge and prior to removal of the pipe clamp. The pipe clamp may also support a means for dressing of the weld I.D., such as a brush or a grinding tool, along with a vacuum line for removal of debris created during operation of the means for dressing.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the partial or complete continuous separation of isotopes of gadolinium, especially high thermal neutron capture cross section gadolinium isotopes, using continuous, steady-state, chromatography in which an ion exchange resin is the stationary phase, an aqueous solution of ions based on a mixture of gadolinium isotopes is the feed phase, and an aqueous acid eluant solution is the mobile phase. The method involves the mobile phase eluting or desorbing the gadolinium isotopic solute or ligand adsorbed on the stationary phase under conditions such that each of the various naturally occurring isotopes of gadolinium is primarily eluted in an elution volume distinct from the elution volumes of the other isotopes. In a preferred embodiment, the conditions are such that at least one of the elution volumes contains essentially only one isotope of gadolinium. The method is preferably conducted in a continuous, steady-state manner, and it is preferably conducted in a single operation in a continuous annular chromatograph (CAC).
