N1 - Last updated - 2011-10-26 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Graphite microparticles as coatings for quartz crystal microbalance-based gas sensors. AN - 72528523; 11140766 AB - The use of graphite particles (1-2 microm) as coatings on quartz crystal microbalances (QCMs) for detection and monitoring of toluene and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is described. Unlike the more commonly used polymeric coatings with low glass transition temperatures (Tg), particulate graphitic coatings are not as susceptible to loss of acoustic energy when coating thickness or operational temperature increases. This situation enables the use of relatively thick coatings, which increases the absolute amount of vapor sorbed in the coating and, consequently, lowers the level of detection and enhances operation over a wide temperature range. The use of small size particles also results in a coating with a more porous structure, which facilitates uptake and release of VOCs in comparison to coatings made from high Tg polymers, which have a lower porosity. These attributes, coupled with the inherent stability of graphitic materials, make particulate graphite coatings especially suitable for applications at high temperatures. The advantages of using particulate graphite as a coating on QCMs are demonstrated by comparison to the performance of a few low-Tg polymers [i.e., poly(isobutylene) and poly(diphenoxyphosphazene)] and high-Tg polymers (i.e., polystyrene).

The plant is jointly owned by Georgia Power Company, Oglethorpe Power Corporation, the Municipal Electrical Authority of Georgia, and the City of Dalton, Georgia. The 2,240-acre HNP site, which straddles the Altamaha River, is characterized by low-rolling sandy hills that are predominantly forested. Each unit employs a boiling-water reactor with steam-electric turbines and is rated at 2,436 megawatts-thermal (MW(t)) and designed for a power level corresponding to approximately 2,537 MW(t). HNP is licensed to operate at a maximum core thermal power output level of 2,763 MW(t). Each unit is rated for a net electrical output of 924 MW. The units are fueled by slightly-enriched uranium dioxide in the form of high-density ceramic pellets. Makeup water for the closed-loop cooling systems is withdrawn from the Altamaha River. Water is returned to the river via a submerged discharge structure. HNP uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems. Six transmission lines, extending a combined distance of 338 miles, connect the HNP to the regional transmission grid. The final generic EIS of May 1996 on the promulgation of rules for all license renewals identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant (the Southern Nuclear Operating Company) nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified any new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the Edwin I units in this draft supplement. If the license were renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power and other matters within the state's jurisdiction or the purview of the owners. This fourth supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals considers a No Action Alternative, the proposed action, and alternatives to license renewal. License renewal alternatives include coal-fired generation, gas-fired generation, imported electrical power, and other means of power generation. If the operating license were not renewed, Edwin I, Units 1 and 2, would be shut down on or before the expiration dates of the current licenses, which are August 6, 2014 and June 13, 2018, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the units would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The operation of HNP would continue to remove 57 million gallons per day of water from the Altamaha River and return makeup water to the river; the release of water to the river from the cooling system would result in a thermal plume, adversely affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. The refusal to renew the license and the subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and the continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

It can also do a combined analysis of this type of data and data from soil samples. One well-known difficulty with attempting this type of analysis is that such sets of data can never provide enough information to determine a unique solution. This can be understood intuitively since a finite number of measurements can not be sufficient to determine a continuous distribution (this observation is not restricted to data collected with the in situ technique, but holds for any set of discrete measurements, such as a series of soil samples). One can, however, restrict to particular types of solutions by requiring that they satisfy other conditions in addition to the measurements, and this is the approach taken by ISDMAP. In ISDMAP, the data are analyzed in a different manner depending on whether the data is from a characterization survey or from a post-remediation survey. The "characterization" option creates a map of contamination in surface soil that is smooth and fits the data. The "post-remediation" option creates a map with a summary of potential hot spots over a constant background level, providing a map of hot spots that might be "hidden" in the data. This report describes the operation of ISDMAP in sufficient detail to allow a user to prepare the necessary input files and run the program. The program requires a PC with DOS or a DOS emulator (most Windows machines have this).

The study provides insights from reported design-basis issues with respect to: (1) their causes, significant patterns within both the power reactor industry and power reactor systems, frequency trends, safety consequences, and risk significance; (2) the lessons that may be useful in assessing regulatory effectiveness of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) evolving inspection and plant performance assessment processes and the definition of plant design basis and; (3) regulatory burden implications related to NRC licensee event reporting requirements for design-basis issues. It is intended that the insights from this study assist NRC and industry ongoing efforts to make NRC's regulatory framework and oversight process more risk informed and performance-based and to reduce unnecessary regulatory burden.

Dose rates from cosmic radiation at commercial aviation altitudes are such that crews working on present-day jet aircraft are an occupationally exposed group with a relatively high average effective dose. Crews of future high speed commercial aircraft flying at higher altitudes would be even more exposed. Present calculations of such exposures are uncertain because knowledge of important components of the radiation field comes primarily from theoretical predictions. To help reduce these uncertainties for high-altitude flight, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Department of Energy (DOE) started the Atmospheric Ionizing Radiation (AIR) project. The measurement part of the AIR project is an international collaboration of 12 laboratories placing 14 instruments on multiple flights of a NASA ER-2 aircraft. This paper describes the basic features of cosmic radiation in the atmosphere as they relate to exposure of aircraft occupants and then describes the AIR ER-2 measurements and presents some preliminary results from a series of flights in June 1997.

AN - 16349797; 8211 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal for an additional 20 years of the operating licenses for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 (ANO-1), located in northwestern Arkansas, is proposed. The final generic EIS of May 1996 on the promulgation of rules for all license renewals identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, known as Entergy Operations, Inc., nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. A total of 23 issues that apply to ANO-1 is addressed in this third draft supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the ANO-1 in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license were renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license were not renewed, ANO-1 would be shut down on or before the expiration of the current license, which is May 20, 2014. ANO-1 is located on 1,164 acres of land on a peninsula extending into Lake Dardanelle in a rural area in west-central Arkansas. The site is surrounded by an exclusion area with a radius of 0.7 mile. ANO is a two-unit facility. Both units are pressurized-water reactors. ANO-1 has a Babcock and Wilcox nuclear steam supply system rated for a net electrical power output of 850 megawatts (MW) and is operated at a maximum combined thermal power output level rated at 2,568 MW. ANO-1 began commercial operation in 1974. The unit's condensers utilize a once-through cooling system. Lake Dardanelle serves as the cooling water source. The reactor requires approximately 1,700 cubic feet per second of cooling water to condense steam during normal operation. ANO uses liquid, gaseous, and solid water processing systems to collect and treat radioactive materials produced as a by-product of operations. Power is delivered to the regional power grid via 191 miles of transmission lines, requiring 3,700 acres of rights-of-way. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant unit would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The operation of ANO-1 would continue to remove 946 million gallons per day of water from Lake Dardanelle and return makeup water to the lake. The release of water to the lake from the once-through system results in a thermal plume, adversely affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within accepted federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. The refusal to renew the license and the subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater adverse impacts than the license renewal and the continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

Influent and effluent water quality data have been analyzed to determine the long-term performance of each ALD for treating coal mine drainage. Alkalinity concentrations in the effluent of the ten ALDs ranged from 80-320 mg/L as CaCO sub(3) with near maximum levels of alkalinity being reached after approximately 15 hours of detention. ALDs that received mine water containing less than 1 mg/L of both ferric iron and aluminum have continued to produce consistent concentrations of alkalinity since their construction. However, an ALD that received 21 mg/L of aluminum experienced a rapid reduction in permeability and failed within eight months.

AN - 52302896; 2000-072131 AB - Carbon sequestration is a relatively new field of science and technology. However, interest in it has been growing rapidly over the past several years. In 1998, the Office of Fossil Energy and the Office of Science of the Department of Energy jointly initiated an activity to develop a roadmap for carbon sequestration as one new means of addressing climate change concerns. One of the major options is the storage of CO2 in geologic formations. Results of this activity, including a workshop in mid-September 1999 have been posted on the internet, and the process is continuing. In parallel, a Carbon Sequestration Research and Development Program has been evolving in the Office of Fossil Energy, in partnership with industry, other agencies, and the International Energy Agency Greenhouse Gas Research and Development Programme; and a Carbon Management Science Program has been evolving in the Office of Science. This paper summarizes the progress and findings todate in both the roadmapping and program planning and development, and will provide an indication of future directions. Recommendations will be provided on how to obtain additional information and to join in this global, public/private partnering process.

During 1998, a total of 74 active CO2-EOR projects recovered nearly 200,000 barrels/day of EOR. In the process, an estimated 15 million tonnes of CO2 was sequestered without emission credit subsidies and at average full-cycle profit of approximately $11/t ( @$15/bbl oil price). 20% of injectant is anthropogenic waste CO2 from natural gas processing plants and fertilizer manufacturing facilities. Injection and sequestration of CO2 into deep coal seams is another potential geological sequestration technology. Initial field testing being conducted in the U.S. and Canada, but large-scale commercialization is at least several years away. If a global trading system for CO2 emissions reductions is established, the economics of EOR and ECBM projects would improve. This study assessed the global capacity, costs and technical feasibility of sequestering CO2 in depleted oil and natural gas fields and deep coal seams. Using petroleum production, reserves, and resource data bases recently published by the U.S. Geological Survey, and international coalbed methane project data, a detailed economic model of sequestration was constructed. Capital and operating costs for each province were estimated and the net unit costs for CO2 sequestration were calculated. The worldwide CO2 sequestration capacity of depleted petroleum fields and coal seams was estimated at approximately 1,083 Gt, equivalent to about 150 years of worldwide power plant emissions. In the future, CO2 sequestration in depleted petroleum fields could become a substantial and profitable new business area for oil & gas companies.

Results yielded 3750 plus or minus 426 mg kg super(-1) (45.2%) for As(V) and 3050 plus or minus 66 mg kg super(-1) (36.7%) for As(III) in the tailings. In the river-bed sediments, one spot yielded: As(III) 0 mg kg super(-1) (0%) and As(V) 1447 plus or minus 51 mg kg super(-1) (100%), whilst a second spot yielded: As(III) 0 mg kg super(-1) (0%) and As(V) 2976 plus or minus 51 mg kg super(-1) (100%). Using arsenic oxide standards, the recovery of As(III) and As(V) in the trioxide were 94.8 and 0.6% respectively. In a mixture of the two oxides, the recovery of As(III) was 87.6% with practically no interference from As(V).

AN - 72208404; 10959953 AB - A new direct readout methodology for detection and quantitation of fluorescent carcinogen-DNA adducts is described. It combines the binding specificity of an immobilized monoclonal antibody (MAb) with high-resolution, low-temperature fluorescence spectroscopy. The MAb, which is covalently bound to a gold surface via a chemisorbed disulfide coupling agent, binds the adduct of interest in an aqueous sample. Laser-induced fluorescence under nonline narrowing (FNLN) and line-narrowing (FLN) conditions was used to detect (benzo[a]pyren-6-yl)guanine (BP-6-N7Gua) bound to immobilized MAb. At room temperature, the BP-6-N7Gua fluorescence was not detected, most likely because of quenching by the gold surface and/or efficient dynamical quenching. However, fluorescence was observed at room temperature when the surface was covered with a thin layer of glycerol, and possible reasons for the fluorescence enhancement are considered. Lowering of the temperature to 77 K led to nearly an order of magnitude increase in fluorescence intensity. Highly structured FLN spectra obtained at 4.2 K allowed for definitive adduct identification.

AN - 52311708; 2000-070421 AB - Like it or not, environmental remediation has become a step-child of the petroleum exploration and production industry. Far too often, such companies find themselves the responsible party for environmental remediation. The processes involved in successfully completing such tasks may be foreign to the petroleum professional that is assigned the task of "managing" the remediation. In such cases, an environmental contractor is hired to perform the necessary work. While many environmental contractors claim a high level of ethics and customer orientation, the very essence of their jobs should make the responsible client wary. Far too often, environmental work becomes drawn out and seemingly never-ending making costs skyrocket. Far too often, environmental contractors need "just a little more data" to complete otherwise simple tasks. To guard against this, a senior independent consultant can act as the "watchdog" for the client. Unfortunately, this often appears to be an additional cost created while trying to cut environmental expenditures. If an independent watchdog can not be afforded, then the responsible petroleum professional managing the environmental project must learn to recognize warning signs. These warning signs indicate an environmental project that is going farther than necessary to meet prescribed objectives. These warning signs become more obvious as time, money, and resources are spent with no end in sight. Knowing how to control environmental costs enables the petroleum professional to spend valuable time and money on finding and producing petroleum--which is why they are in the business.

S. Department of Energy has been directed by the U. S. Congress to characterize the Yucca Mountain, Nevada site for consideration as America's first geologic repository for the permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste. The Department recently completed two major products (Viability Assessment, 1998 and Draft Environment Impact Statement, 1999) that are key milestones on the Department's path to a suitability evaluation for the Yucca Mountain site. With supporting documentation, these products present the current understanding of the natural system and a reference design concept that together will protect public health and safety and the environment for tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. While the concept of geologic disposal remains the option of choice in the United States and most foreign countries, it continues to be debated due to the unprecedented long time frame necessary for waste isolation. DOE recognizes this and that some uncerrtainties will remain at the time it intends to proceed with site recommendation and license application, if the site is determined to be suitable. To achieve success, the DOE must address a number of internal and external challenges that include addressing remaining technical uncertainties, proceeding under regulatory uncertainty, and continued US Administration and Congressional support.

Commonly known as the mole plant or gopher plant, this euphorbia has caustic milky juice in the stems that was thought to repel gophers and moles. Donna Chalmers of Northeast Portland purchased seeds for the plant several years ago and has had no luck chasing away critters. The package said to plant the seeds to get rid of moles but "it didn't help with moles one iota," says Chalmers. In fact, the plant has been nothing but a nightmare for Chalmers. The euphorbia, which reseeds readily, started to take over the garden. "I must have touched my eyes. They burned like wildfire," says Chalmers, who immediately called the local poison center in reaction to the pain. Center personnel confirmed that euphorbia is a low- toxicity plant that can cause dermatitis and eye irritation and suggested she go to the emergency room. There Chalmers received eyedrops to help with the pain, but she suffered for days from blisters on her cornea.

AN - 71244755; 10893794 AB - This article recommends an 8-hour occupational exposure limit (OEL) for beryllium. It responds to growing concerns about the continuing incidence of chronic beryllium disease despite the long-standing OEL for beryllium: 2 micrograms of beryllium per cubic meter of air (microgram/m3), 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA). Current 8-hour TWA beryllium OELs are not based on chronic beryllium disease toxicology and an increasing number of studies report incidence of chronic beryllium disease at exposure levels apparently below 2 micrograms/m3. The experience of the beryllium-exposed population of Lorain, Ohio, in the late 1940s, and the ambient air regulatory standards derived from that event provide evidence that establishing a protective level is possible. These levels are used as the basis for a new recommended beryllium exposure standard. A correspondingly protective 8-hour TWA level of 0.1 microgram/m3 has been derived, which, for commonly encountered workplace conditions (in terms of geometric standard deviation and percent-compliance), should provide long-term mean exposure protection comparable to that received by the unaffected Lorain subpopulation and provided by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ambient standard. It is concluded that an exposure limit of 0.1 microgram/m3 combined with exposure monitoring to assure a high rate of day-to-day compliance would provide better control of both long-term mean exposure levels and short-term levels than do current occupational exposure limits. The health data available, while certainly not conclusive, support further reductions in exposure levels to help minimize the incidence of chronic beryllium disease.

AN - 70525638; 12008881 AB - Implementation of a Quality Systems approach to making defensible environmental program decisions depends upon multiple, interrelated components. Often, these components are developed independently and implemented at various facility and program levels in an attempt to achieve consistency and cost savings. The U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM) focuses on three primary system components to achieve effective environmental data collection and use. (1) Quality System guidance, which establishes the management framework to plan, implement, and assess work performed; (2) A Standardized Statement of Work for analytical services, which defines data generation and reporting requirements consistent with user needs; and (3) A laboratory assessment program to evaluate adherence of work performed to defined needs, e.g., documentation and confidence. This paper describes how DOE-EM fulfills these requirements and realizes cost-savings through participation in interagency working groups and integration of system elements as they evolve.

These include the use of a safety goal evaluation which is intended to eliminate some proposed requirements from further consideration because the residual risk is already acceptably low, and the use of a $2000 per person-rem conversion factor.

The records include dosimetric and epidemiologic information maintained on workers and neighboring populations located at facilities in Ozyorsk and Chelyabinsk. Microfilming is being done in Ozyorsk, and on a more limited basis in Chelyabinsk, where a scanning project has also recently been initiated. Over 1,800 rolls of film have been produced as of the fall of 1999. This article describes the background and results of this data preservation effort and includes brief summary tables describing the types of records being preserved. Researchers interested in access to these records should contact Paul Seligman, Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Office of Health Studies at the Department of Energy (DOE) for more information.

The U.S. member agencies include the Department of Energy (DOE), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Department of Defense (DoD), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Russians are represented by the Ministries of Emergencies (EMERCOM), Atomic Energy (MINATOM) and Health (MINZDRAV), and the Russian Academy of Sciences (IBRAE). The focus of this research is on the workers from the Mayak Production Association (MAYAK) in the Southern Urals and on the neighboring populations along the Techa River exposed to contamination from the plant. The goal of the program is to better define the relationship between the health effects and the chronic low dose and dose-rate exposure, these data being essential to validate current radiation protection standards and practices. The current primary areas of JCCRER research include dose reconstruction, epidemiologic health studies, molecular epidemiology/biodosimetry, and the creation of tissue banks. The organization of the ongoing research conducted under the aegis of the JCCRER and the rationale for this work are described.

One of the goals of molecular epidemiology studies of cancer is to determine the role of environmental and genetic factors in initiation and progression of malignancies and to use this knowledge to develop preventive strategies. This approach promises extraordinary opportunities for revolutionizing the practice of medicine and reducing risk. However, this will be accompanied by the need to address and resolve many challenges, such as ensuring the appropriate interpretation of molecular testing and resolving associated ethical, legal, and social issues. Traditional epidemiologic approaches determined that exposure to ionizing radiation poses significantly increased risk of leukemia and several other types of cancer. Such studies provided the basis for setting exposure standards to protect the public and the workforce from potentially adverse effects of ionizing radiation. These standards were set by using modeling approaches to extrapolate from the biological effects observed in high-dose radiation studies to predicted, but mostly unmeasurable, effects at low radiation doses. It is anticipated that the addition of the molecular parameters to the population-based studies will help identify the genes and pathways characteristic of cancers due to radiation exposure of individuals, as well as identify susceptible or resistant subpopulations. In turn, the information about the molecular mechanisms should aid to improve risk assessment. While studies on radiogenic cancers are currently limited to only a few candidate genes, the exponential growth of scientific knowledge and technology promises expansion of knowledge about identity of participating genes and pathways in the future. This article is meant to provide an introductory overview of recent advances in understanding of carcinogenesis at the molecular level, with an emphasis of the aspects that may be of use in establishing the association between radiation and cancer.

AN - 71098811; 10794913 AB - The ability of supercritical water (SCW) to decompose heterocyclic compounds (quinoline and isoquinoline) has been explored in this study. The results obtained suggest that water acts as a chemical reagent above its critical point (374 degrees C and 22.1 MPa). Significant proportions of isoquinoline and quinoline were removed during the reaction with SCW. The response of these compounds to pyrolysis was also compared with their reaction with SCW. Both compounds were relatively more reactive in the presence of SCW than during pyrolysis. Because of the different positions of N atom in the two compounds, they reacted with SCW differently. Breaking of C-N bonds during SCW reaction was by hydrogenation and hydrocracking, while pyrolysis was due to thermocracking mainly.

AN - 36406027; 8049 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a license to Private Fuel Storage LLC (PFS) for the construction and operation of an independent spent nuclear fuel (SNF) storage installation on the reservation of the Skull Valley Ban of Goshute Indians, located in Skull Valley in northwestern Utah, is proposed. The 820-acre site of the storage facility would be about 3.5 miles from the Skull Valley Band's village and 27 miles west-southwest of the community of Tooele. PFS is owned by eight power utilities, including Indiana-Michigan Power Company (American Electric Power), Consolidated Edison Company of New York, GPU Nuclear Corporation, Northern States Power company, Illinois Power Company, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Southern California Edison Company, and Genoa FuelTech, Inc. PFS has applied to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a license to receive, transfer, and possess SNF from commercial nuclear power plants at a privately-owned independent SNF storage installation for the purpose of storing the SNF. Issues identified in the scoping process include radiological impacts and human health and safety, socioeconomics, cultural resources and environmental justice, geology and seismicity, transportation, accidents, compliance with applicable regulations, air quality, hydrology, ecological resources, the need for the facility, and decommissioning. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, spent nuclear fuel would be transported by rail from existing reactor sites to Skull Valley. The facility would be designed to store up to 40,000 metric tons of uranium. Dry cask technology, providing for storage of spent fuel inside sealed metal canisters that would be loaded into steel and concrete storage casks to be placed on concrete pads, would be the method of storage. The Holtec HI-STORM dual-purpose canister-based cask system would be used. As many as 4,000 canisters inside individual storage casks would be used to store the spent fuel. Approximately 25 percent of the storage area would be provided during the first two-year phase of the project. Another 25 percent would be completed during a second phase, and the remainder of the storage area would be completed during the third phase. Ownership, and the ultimate responsibility for the facility, would lie in the hands of the members of PFS. To transport the spent fuel from the existing rail line in Skull Valley to the storage installation, a rail siding and a 32-mile rail line within a 200-foot right-of-way from Skunk Ridge to the reservation would be constructed. The facility would be licensed to operate for up to 20 years, and the license would be open for possible renewal. Three action alternatives located on the reservation and an alternative site in Freemont County, Wyoming, are also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would provide SNF storage for PFS members and allow continued operation of the nuclear reactors owned and operated by PFS members. The construction activities would provide employment for 255 persons during peak periods. The storage facility would generally contribute to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The facility would displace undeveloped rangeland and constitute a visual intrusion in the area. Approximately 232 acres would be cleared for the construction, of which 140 acres would be displaced for the life of the project. The rail line would require the initial clearance of 776 acres, of which 155 acres would be cleared for the life of the project. The rail line would cross 32 arroyos (i.e., gullies or gulches cut by streams with ephemeral flows). Construction of the rail line along the western edge of Skull Valley would adversely affect one cultural resource (i.e., the Hastings Cutoff Trail) that is considered eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places and could adversely affect historic resources of as yet undetermined quality within the project area. Air quality would be adversely affected temporarily. Construction of the PFS facility could adversely affect local traffic, including Skull Valley Road. Grazing resources would be adversely affected due to the disruption to and reduced availability of resources on two Bureau of Land Management grazing allotments.

Preparation date: June 16, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Sources and transport of anthropogenic radionuclides in the Ob River system, Siberia AN - 52336043; 2000-049902 AB - The potential sources of anthropogenic radionuclides to the Ob River system of western Siberia include global stratospheric fallout, tropospheric fallout from atomic weapons tests and releases from production and reprocessing facilities. Samples of water, suspended and bottom sediments collected in 1994 and 1995 have been used to characterize the sources and transport of (super 137) Cs, Pu isotopes, (super 237) Np and (super 129) I through the system. For the radionuclides that associate with particles, isotope ratios provide clues to their sources, providing any geochemical fractionation can be taken into account. Activity ratios of (super 239,240) Pu/ (super 137) Cs in suspended sediments are lower than the global fallout ratio in the Irtysh River before its confluence with the Ob, comparable to fallout in the central reach of the Ob, and greater than the fallout values in the lower Ob and in the Taz River. This pattern mirrors the downriver decrease in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations. Laboratory adsorption experiments with Ob River sediment and water show that K (sub d) values for Am (and presumably other actinides) are depressed by two orders of magnitude in the presence of Ob DOC concentrations, relative to values measured in DOC-free Ob water. Iodine and cesium K (sub d) values show little or no (less than a factor of 2) dependence on DOC. Mixing plots using plutonium isotope ratios (atom ratios) show that Pu in suspended sediments of the Ob is a mixture of stratospheric global fallout at northern latitudes, tropospheric fallout from the former Soviet Union test site at Semipalatinsk and reprocessing of spent fuel at Tomsk-7. Plutonium from Semipalatinsk is evident in the Irtysh River above its confluence with the Tobal. Suspended sediment samples taken in the Ob above its confluence with the Irtysh indicate the presence of Pu derived from the Tomsk-7 reprocessing facilities. A mixing plot constructed using (super 237) Np/ (super 239) Pu vs. (super 240) Pu/ (super 239) Pu shows similar mixtures of stratospheric and tropospheric fallout, with the likely addition of inputs from reprocessing facilities and reactor operations. As with Pu/Cs ratios, Np/Pu ratios could be modified by differential geochemical behaviors of Np and Pu. Dissolved (super 129) I only weakly interacts with particles in the Ob; size-fractionated sampling shows that the colloidal (super 129) I fraction (defined as 1 kDa-0.2 mu m) contains generally <5% relative to that passing a 0.2 mu m filter. Iodine-129 concentrations decrease from 8.3X10 (super 9) to 0.65X10 (super 9) atoms l (super -1) through the Ob system toward the Kara Sea, with highest values in the Tobal River and lowest in the Taz River. The likely source of the elevated (super 129) I in the Tobal is release from the production-reprocessing facilities at Mayak, and decreases downriver are predominantly due to dilution as the various tributaries with low (super 129) I join the system. Fluxes of (super 129) I to the lower Ob at Salekhard are <1% of the releases of this radionuclide from the nuclear fuel reprocessing facilities at Sellafield, UK and La Hague, France.

This report focuses on WMA 3 (the High-Level Waste (HLW) Storage Area (Tanks 8D-1 and 8D-2), the Vitrification Facility and other facilities) and closure Alternative I (the complete removal of all structures, systems and components and the release of the area for unrestricted use), and re-estimates the impacts associated with the complete removal of the HLW tanks, and surrounding facilities. A 32-step approach was developed for the complete removal of Tanks 8D-1 and 8D-2, the Supernatant Treatment System Support Building, and the Transfer Trench. First, a shielded Confinement Structure would be constructed to reduce the shine dose rate and to control radioactivity releases. Similarly, the tank heels would be stabilized to reduce potential radiation exposures. Next, the tank removal methodology would include: 1) excavation of the vault cover soil, 2) removal of the vault roof, 3) cutting off the tank's top, 4) removal of the stabilized heel remaining inside the tank, 5) cutting up the tank's walls and floor, 6) removal of the vault's walls, the perlite blocks, and vault floor, and 7) radiation surveying and backfilling the resulting hole. After the tanks are removed, the Confinement Structure would be decontaminated and dismantled, and the site backfilled and landscaped. The impacts (including waste disposal quantities, emissions, work-effort, radiation exposures, injuries and fatalities, consumable materials used, and costs) were estimated based on this 32 step removal methodology, and added to the previously estimated impacts for closure of the other facilities within WMA 3 to obtain the total impacts from implementing Alternative I at WMA 3.

AN - 71111363; 10807555 AB - Trichloroethylene (TCE) induces liver cancer in mice but not in rats. Three metabolites of TCE may contribute--chloral hydrate (CH), dichloroacetate (DCA), and trichloroacetate (TCA). CH and TCA appear capable of only inducing liver tumors in mice, but DCA is active in rats as well. The concentrations of TCA in blood required to induce liver cancer approach the mM range. Concentrations of DCA in blood associated with carcinogenesis are in the sub-microM range. The carcinogenic activity of CH is largely dependent on its conversion to TCA and/or DCA. TCA is a peroxisome proliferator in the same dose range that induces liver cancer. Mice with targeted disruptions of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-alpha) are insensitive to the liver cancer-inducing properties of other peroxisome proliferators. Human cells do not display the responses associated with PPAR-alpha that are observed in rodents. This may be attributed to lower levels of expressed PPAR-alpha in human liver. DCA treatment produces liver tumors with a different phenotype than TCA. Its tumorigenic effects are closely associated with differential effects on cell replication rates in tumors, normal hepatocytes, and suppression of apoptosis. Growth of DCA-induced tumors has been shown to arrest after cessation of treatment. The DCA and TCA adequately account for the hepatocarcinogenic responses to TCE. Low-level exposure to TCE is not likely to induce liver cancer in humans. Higher exposures to TCE could affect sensitive populations. Sensitivity could be based on different metabolic capacities for TCE or its metabolites or result from certain chronic diseases that have a genetic basis.

Habitat suitability index modeling can be used to support a wide range of management needs involving species or habitat mapping, including analysis of essential fish habitat. The HSI values were calculated as a function of a species' habitat associations and mapped available habitat. Based on published information and expert review, models for two to four life stages were developed for alewives Alosa psuedoharengus, American sand lances Ammodytes americanus, Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, Atlantic tomcods Microgadus tomcod, common mummichogs Fundulus heteroclitus, winter flounder Pleuronectes americanus, American lobsters Homarus americanus, and softshell clams Mya arenaria. Using geographic information systems (GIS), habitat maps for each bay were developed consisting of 100 x 100-m grid cells for seasonal temperature and salinity and for depth and predominant substrate type. The HSI models were run in the GIS by reclassifying the habitat maps to a 0-1 suitability index scale, 1.0 representing the most suitable condition for each habitat variable. Following reclassification, the geometric mean of the suitability index values for the habitat variables was calculated by grid cell, and the results were mapped. Model performance was evaluated by expert reviewers and by using Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon nonparametric statistical tests, which compared model outputs with available species catch data. Total suitable habitat on HSI maps ranged from 6% for American sand lance adults and juveniles to 95% for American lobster adults. Habitat importance was analyzed by mapping the arithmetic mean HSI value calculated from all models by season. Based on the mean of the HSI values from these models, which do not contain pollutant effects, shallow, nearshore areas and river mouths near Portland, Maine, provide the most important habitat in Casco Bay. These results suggest that remediation of degraded areas near Portland could restore valuable habitat.

AN - 71152188; 10839127 AB - Current high-throughput approaches to the analysis of PCR products are based primarily on electrophoretic separation and laser-excited fluorescence detection. We show that capillary array electrophoresis can be applied to HIV-1 diagnosis and D1S80 VNTR genetic typing based simply on UV absorption detection. The additive contribution of each base pair to the total absorption signal provides adequate detection sensitivity for analyzing most PCR products. Not only is the use of specialized and potentially toxic fluorescent labels eliminated, but also the complexity and cost of the instrumentation are greatly reduced. JF - Journal of chromatography.

American National Standards Institute. AN - 71025588; 10749521 AB - American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards are a source of technical guidance on the application of passive radiation detectors in personnel and environmental monitoring programs. The proposed new ANSI Draft N13.29 describes performance tests for environmental dosimetry providers that are analogous to those now required in personnel dosimetry. The objective of this study was to pilot test the procedural specifications before Draft N13.29 is submitted for final balloting. The results of the performance tests are relevant to environmental surveillance programs, which may be affected if Draft N13.29 is approved. Seven environmental dosimetry providers submitted dosimeters for the pilot test, which included two phases. The first phase involved exposing dosimeters to laboratory gamma, beta, and x-ray sources at routine and accident dose levels. In the second phase, dosimeters were subjected to 90 d of simulated environmental conditions in a chamber that cycled through prescribed temperature and humidity parameters and lighting conditions. Two participants passed all categories of the laboratory test phase, and all seven passed the environmental test phase. We report here on the results of the performance tests; additional results relevant to finalizing Draft N13.29 are detailed elsewhere.

AN - 70999769; 10750282 AB - The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists' (ACGIH) time-weighted average (TLV-TWA) and short-term exposure limit (TLV-STEL) Threshold Limit Values (TLVs). It is of value to determine if one or the other of these exposure limits is inherently more stringent so that exposure monitoring strategies may be devised which efficiently use available resources and effectively control exposures to meet both exposure limits. The ACGIH short-term exposure limit (TLV-STEL) imposes three conditions on short-term (15-minute) exposures. These conditions involve exceeding the TLV-TWA and TLV-STEL levels and the time-separation of those short-term exposures that exceed the TLV-TWA level. These conditions were analyzed to produce eight unique component probabilities for TLV-STEL non-compliance. The sum of these eight components is the total probability of TLV-STEL non-compliance. Mathematical expressions for the eight probability components are derived in terms of the probability that a single 15-minute exposure exceeds the time-weighted average threshold limit value (TLV-TWA) and the geometric standard deviation of these 15-minute exposures. These expressions were applied to various hypothetical workplaces, and the relationship between TLV-TWA and TLV-STEL compliance is presented. The results showed that non-compliance of 15-minute exposures with the TLV-STEL level is only one part of overall TLV-STEL non-compliance. The additional ACGIH provisions for TLV-STEL compliance--the number of 15-minute exposures exceeding the TLV-TWA level and the number of clean periods separating such exposures--can be important factors in determining TLV-STEL compliance. It is concluded that compliance with all provisions of the ACGIH TLV-STEL adds a degree of stringency that greatly enhances the likelihood of TLV-TWA compliance for most workplace environments.

The oil and gas projections for the EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2000 to the year 2020 will be presented. Real uncertainties exist even in the year 2000 forecasts, especially in price and demand. As we extend the forecast period, technology improvements in both energy production and use increase in importance. Advances in technologies can help moderate growth in consumption or supply costs. EIA incorporates ongoing technological improvements in its projections; however, the rate of technology improvement and penetration is uncertain. Consequently, we include sensitivities within each forecast reflecting the impact of faster and slower improvements in costs, efficiency, productivity, and resources. While EIA does not generally make 100-year forecasts, the U.S. oil and gas industry has more than a century of history and more than a century of future. EIA will present its recent work on ultimate recovery appreciation (reserve growth) for natural gas in known fields. This is a larger volume than U.S. proved reserves or estimates of undiscovered conventional natural gas. Analysts predict a scarcity of global oil supply within the next 30 years-or even next year according to the pessimistic. Such a shift in energy availability worldwide would alter the quality of life economically through deprivation of an essential fuel. EIA's preliminary analysis of several 100-year conventional oil supply scenarios will be presented.

A major barrier to increased natural gas consumption worldwide is the lack of infrastructure to bring much of this gas to market. An alternative to both liquefied natural gas (LNG) and gas pipelines for remote gas utilization is Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) technologies. GTL offers the opportunity to bring remote and associated natural gas to markets by converting the gas into high quality liquid fuels that can be transported in conventional liquid petroleum tankers. This is accomplished by first converting the natural gas into synthesis gas and then using this to produce liquid hydrocarbons with Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) synthesis. This allows natural gas to be used as a transportation fuel while maintaining the existing liquid fuels infrastructure. GTL liquid products are zero sulfur, zero nitrogen, zero aromatic, ultra clean transportation fuels that have been shown to significantly reduce exhaust emissions from vehicles. These distillate fuels, particularly diesel, are expected to be in great demand in developing countries where transportation demand is burgeoning. Liquid fuels are also much easier to transport and utilize than LNG. GTL technology is just beginning to penetrate into the commercial marketplace and there remain many technical and economic risks that need to be addressed.

A team of industry, academic and national laboratory researchers jointly identified critical knowledge gaps and key issues needed to advance the scientific foundations for lowering the costs and assessing the safety of this method for sequestering carbon. Three principal types of formations are widespread and have the potential for sequestering large amounts of carbon. These are active and depleted oil and gas formations, deep coal beds and brine formations. The potential for collateral benefits from EOR and enhanced coal-bed methane production make these formations especially attractive. The R&D roadmap charts a course over a 25 year time-frame that addresses all three formation types, recognizing R&D needs specific to each formation type as well as cross-cutting issues such as monitoring and performance assessment. In the near term the roadmap recommends initiating R&D in three principal areas. 1) Fundamental and applied research is needed to understand and predict the long-term fate of sequestered CO (sub 2) , including chemical reactions between CO (sub 2) , brine and minerals, and micromechanics and deformation modeling, and high resolution monitoring methods. 2) A national assessment is needed to determine the location and capacity of geologic formations available for CO (sub 2) sequestration, including the development of screening criteria. 3) Pilot-scale testing with adequate monitoring for performance verification is needed to develop cost and performance data and to help prioritize future R&D needs. This paper provides a detailed description of the elements of the R&D roadmap.

The results indicate that phosphatic layers are characterized generally by high radioactive intensities (> 800 c.p.s.). The lithological section in the study area has very complex sedimentology, and is characterized by large facis variation in all directions. The Schlumberger geo-electrical configuration with fine separation of AB/2 was successfully applied to determine lithological boundaries and the resistivities of the layers of the lithological section especially for thin layers. It was shown that the phosphatic layer resistivities increase or decrease as a function of associated material. As a result, two types of phosphatic layers have been geo-electrically distinguished. The first is characterized by high resistivity and relatively low radioactivity, which could be related to the rock phosphatic layers. The second is characterized by low resistivity and high radioactivity, which could be related to the sandy phosphatic layers.

Results of Survey of NRC and Agreement State Materials Licensing and Inspection Personnel AN - 18337775; 5116282 AB - This project responded to NRC's Direction Setting Issue 12, Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Regulation. Its scope was limited to nuclear byproduct materials as defined in Section 11.e(1) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 and Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Section 30.4. 10 CFR Parts 30 thorugh 36 and 39 address regulation of those materials. The goal was to confirm and augment information on nuclear byproduct material systems obtained from other sources. The process involved (1) use of a list of nuclear byproduct material systems based on how the nuclear byproduct material was used, (2) a survey of NRC and Agreement State materials licensing and inspection personnel concerning typical annual doses to workers for the various systems, safety of each system under various conditions, the types and frequencies of incidents occurring at each system, definitions of safety, and opinions about the approrpiate bases for regulatory decision making, and (3) summarization of the respondent's answers to those questions.

But gauges that are improperly controlled during use and transfer can expose people to radiation and, upon entering the stream of recycled steel, can cause steel mills to spend millions of dollars to decontaminate equipment and dispose of contaminated materials. The risk to licensees and the recycling industries that nuclear gauges pose is incompletely understood. An analysis of fixed nuclear gauges was performed to study the risk to life and property, from facilities where the gauges are used to steel mills where the gauges might be melted.

AN - 71105882; 10807039 AB - Sedimentation rates along the Syrian coast were determined by the 210Pb dating method to a total of nine cores taken in 1993; rates were found to vary between 0.11 and 0.87 cm year(-1). These rates were used to provide historical records of the total organic content, major elements such as Al, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ba and Br and some trace metals (As, Cr, Pb, Zn and Cu) concentrations along the Syrian coast. High total organic content up to 52% was found near Banias City; the Banise oil refinery and oil export activities were identified to be the pollution source of that area. Down core concentration profiles of trace metals show an increase in the concentrations of As and Cr in the upper layers for some of the collected cores. The highest values measured for As and Cr were 186 and 380 ppm, respectively, which are much higher than the natural levels. These high levels may be due to discharges of chemical wastes either from ships or coastal factories.

Yes/No AN - 245503602 AB - In Alfred North Whitehead's memorable words, `the greatest curse to the progress of science is a hasty classification based on trivialities'. But dare we conclude that experts, being susceptible even in their own fields to error and bias, are always wrong or, at best, unreliable, despite peer review? This chimes with what social science is now telling us, and what expert-led process has always hated admitting: `ordinary' people are smart. When people reject GM food it is because they understand that science hasn't got everything under control; yet the assertions that GM food is safe come as thick and fast as they did about nuclear technology before Three Mile Island. As the House of Lords science and technology committee acknowledged this week, people's attitudes to new scientific developments are shaped by the values they hold. These values are likely to include improvement in social well-being, fairness, the need to protect nature, and so on. The scientific community needs to take note of those broader values. Science needs to inform societal decisions, but not to take them. This is not a new dilemma. It was Sir Winston Churchill, not a man known for being racked with post modern angst, who said that science should be `on tap, not on top'.

The Leviathan Mine is a remote, abandoned, copper/sulfur mine. This study addressed two questions: (1) Can the severely polluted mine drainage at the Leviathan Mine be treated with lime to an acceptable quality? and (2) Can a neutralizing reagent formulation (using various ratios of lime, fly ash, and cement) be designed to improve the physical characteristics of the resulting sludge for disposal purposes? The primary pollutants of concern are arsenic, nickel, aluminum, iron, and sulfate. Pilot-scale studies at the Leviathan Mine show that an in-line system (ILS) can be used to treat the severely polluted pond and adit water to meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Ambient Water Quality for Freshwater Aquatic Life Protection (1-hour acute toxicity) criteria. Lime and lime-based admixtures were used to neutralize the adit and pond waters. The optimal treatment pH range was 6.9-7.9 for adit water, and 6.5-8.0 for pond water. The ILS served as a neutralization and mixing system for treating both water sources, and also as an aeration system for treating the adit water. The ILS effectively oxidized nearly 900 mg/L of Fe super(+2) within 30 seconds of contact time when treating the adit water. Additional work is needed to evaluate sludge alternatives. The simplicity, portability, flexibility, and economics of the ILS make it a prime candidate for remote treatment operations such as the Leviathan Mine. Furthermore, the ILS can operate by water power with elevational differences of 50 ft or greater. The need for permanent electrical power installation for water treatment can possibly be eliminated by coupling the ILS with a commercially available water-powered lime feed system.

AN - 71066476; 10782196 AB - A case-control study was conducted to evaluate the risk of chronic beryllium disease (CBD) and beryllium sensitization (SENS) associated with various levels of historical beryllium exposure at the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons facility. Fifty CBD and 74 SENS cases were matched to controls of the same age group, race, gender, and smoking status. A job exposure matrix was developed from job history data and fixed airhead (FAH) exposure data available from 1960 to 1988. Job titles and building areas were assigned factors based on exposure relative to a machinist in the Building 444 Beryllium Shop. Concurrence on these factors was obtained from past and present Rocky Flats industrial hygienists. Using the matrix, long-term mean and cumulative exposures were estimated for each subject. Both exposure estimates (p < 0.0001) and years of employment (p = 0.010) were found to be significantly higher for CBD cases as compared with their controls, but not so for the SENS cases as compared with their controls. Logistic regression analyses showed statistically significant relationships between both cumulative and mean exposure and CBD, but not for SENS. These findings suggest that reduced worker exposures might lower the future incidence of CBD, but may not necessarily lower the incidence of SENS.

AN - 71048047; 10765959 AB - The possibility of detection of incipient cellular alterations is central to early diagnosis and to clinician's capacity to discriminate between samples that appear similar on routine preparations. We examined the value of silver-stained nucleolar organizer regions (AgNOR) in detecting radio-induced alterations in a model of squamous epithelium biologically similar to oral mucosa. Morphometry of AgNOR has been proven to be of value in the detection of incipient cellular alterations. This method allows for the quantitative evaluation of lesions induced by high doses of radiation long before they become apparent in routine preparations. We herein examine the capacity of AgNOR to reveal the response to low doses of radiation, closer to the therapeutic or accidental dose to which the epithelium of oral mucosa may be exposed.

AN - 70998639; 10733225 AB - The benzo[a]pyrene (BP)-derived 7-(benzo[a]pyren-6-yl)guanine (BP-6-N7Gua) depurinating one-electron oxidation adduct was identified in the urine extracts of coal-smoke-exposed humans for the first time. Urine samples were prepared by solid-phase extraction and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Subsequently, the BP-6-N7Gua adduct was identified on-line with capillary electrophoresis-- fluorescence line narrowing spectroscopy (CE-FLNS) at 4.2 K. The daily excretion of BP-6-N7Gua in human urine of individuals exposed to coal smoke was approximately 226 pmol per micromol of creatinine. Due to the high level of excretion we propose that BP-6-N7Gua adducts found in urine could serve as effective biomarkers for risk assessment of BP exposure. The results demonstrate that CE-FLNS allows for on-line separation and DNA adducts identification in complex fluid extracts.

AN - 70964621; 10715613 AB - International and US radiation protection standards are based upon risk assessment and risk management processes. The assessment of radiation risk is derived from the linear no-threshold (LNT) model. Risk management is based on more subjective value judgements. If the radiation dose-response was found to be hormetic, considerable quantitative data would be needed before current radiation protection standards would change. There would be added complexity, and consideration might have to be given to the additive effects of an individual's exposures to medical radiation and other potential carcinogens.

S. Department of Energy's Fernald Environmental Management Project site. Data on the size distribution of uranium bearing atmospheric aerosols from 0.065 mu m to 100 mu m in diameter were obtained and used to compute dose using several different models. During most of the year, the mass of super(238)U above 15 mu m exceeded 70% of the total uranium mass from all particulates. Above 4.3 mu m, the super(238)U mass exceeded 80% of the total uranium mass from all particulates. During any sampling period the size distribution was bimodal. In the winter/spring period, the modes appeared at 0.29 mu m and 3.2 mu m. During the summer period, the lower mode shifted up to similar to 0.45 mu m. In the fall/winter, the upper mode shifted to similar to 1.7 mu m, while the lower mode stayed at 0.45 mu m. These differences reflect the changes in site activities. Thorium concentrations were comparable to the uranium concentrations during the late spring and summer period and decreased to similar to 25% of the super(238)U concentration in the late summer. The thorium size distribution trend also differed from the uranium trend. The current calculational method used to demonstrate compliance with regulations assumes that the airborne particulates are characterized by an activity median diameter of 1 mu m. This assumption results in an overestimate of the dose to offsite receptors by as much as a factor of seven relative to values derived using the latest ICRP 66 lung model with more appropriate particle sizes. Further evaluation of the size distribution for each radionuclide would substantially improve the dose estimates.

AN - 70861792; 10647988 AB - At a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) waste handling facility, transuranic waste contained in standard 208-L (55-gallon) drums was being prepared to meet the DOE's Waste Isolation Pilot Project Waste Acceptance Criteria. During a particular waste handling operation, it was necessary for the workers to open several 208-L drums with TRU waste and prepare the waste to meet the WIPP Waste Acceptance Criteria. This operation was performed while the waste drums where positioned adjacent to a drum ventilator, which was designed to capture emissions generated from the drums during waste handling activities. During this activity, the continuous air monitor alarmed and reached an instantaneous air concentration of 0.1 Bq m(-3), or a factor of 300 times higher than the derived air concentration for inhalation class W 239Pu. The DOE conducted an investigation to determine why the drum ventilator did not control the transuranic emissions and to evaluate possible improvements to the drum ventilator and exposure controls. By adding upper and lower flanges to the drum ventilator, the capture velocity was increased by 88% without increasing the fan's speed. Adding flanges is a simple and inexpensive modification that enhances the performance of the drum ventilator. In addition to a poor design, the drum ventilator's capture velocity was compromised by competing air velocities that were generated by waste handling activities.

The addition of Cooperating National Facility (CNF) stations is one way to enhance location capability. The sites for such stations should be located so as to minimize the area of the 90% confidence-error ellipse. In this study, configurations of potential CNF stations in Israel are optimized, based on a representative set of seismic events. Appropriate total error variance comprised of model and measurement errors is estimated based on 1997 regional events. A genetic algorithm (GA) technique is used for the optimization. It is compared to the differential evolution (DE) technique and to random search (RS) and found superior but not by a great margin, which indicates that the optimization problem is not hard to solve. Configurations proposed by expert seismologists are compared to the computerized solution and are found inferior. Adding a few potential CNF stations in Jordan improves the location capability significantly.

Heat-shock proteins (hsps) and glucose-regulated proteins (grps) are members of a large superfamily of proteins collectively referred to as stress proteins. This particular stress-protein response has evolved as a cellular strategy to protect, repair, and chaperone other essential cellular proteins. The objective of this study was to evaluate the differential expression of four hsps in the renal cortex and medulla during experimental nephrotoxic injury using HgCl sub(2). Male Sprague-Dawley rats received single injections of HgCl sub(2) (0.25, 0.5, or 1 mg Hg/kg, iv). At 4, 8, 16, or 24 h after exposure, kidneys were removed and processed for histopathologic, immunoblot, and immunohistochemical analyses. Nephrosis was characterized as minimal or mild (cytoplasmic condensation, tubular epithelial degeneration, single cell necrosis) at the lower exposures, and progressed to moderate or severe (nuclear pyknosis, necrotic foci, sloughing of the epithelial casts into tubular lumens) at the highest exposures. Western blots of renal proteins were probed with monoclonal antibodies specific for 4 hsps. In whole kidney, Hg(II) induced a time- and dose-related accumulation of hsp72 and grp94. Accumulation of hsp72 was predominantly localized in the cortex and not medulla, while grp94 accumulated primarily in the medulla but not cortex. The high, constitutive expression of hsp73 did not change as a result of Hg(II) exposure, and it was equally localized in cortex and medulla. Hsp90 was not detected in kidneys of control or Hg-treated rats. Since hsp72 has been shown involved in cellular repair and recovery, and since Hg(II) damage occurs primarily in cortex, we investigated the cell-specific expression of this hsp. Hsp72 accumulated primarily in undamaged distal convoluted tubule epithelia, with less accumulation in undamaged proximal convoluted-tubule epithelia. These results demonstrate that expression of specific stress proteins in rat kidney exhibits regional heterogeneity in response to Hg(II) exposure, and a positive correlation exists between accumulation of some stress proteins and acute renal cell injury. While the role of accumulation of hsps and other stress proteins in vivo prior to or concurrent with nephrotoxicity remains to be completely understood, these stress proteins may be part of a cellular defense response to nephrotoxicants. Conversely, renal tubular epithelial cells that do not or are unable to express stress proteins, such as hsp72, may be more susceptible to nephrotoxicity.

AN - 70867240; 10633182 AB - There are new opportunities to using data from molecular and cellular studies in order to bring together a fuller biological understanding of how chemicals induce neoplasia. In 1996, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a proposal to replace its 1986 Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment to take advantage of these new scientific advances in cancer biology. The analytical framework within the new guidelines focuses on an understanding of the mode of carcinogenic action. Mode of action data come into play in a couple of ways in these new guidelines. For example, such information can inform the dose-response relationship below the experimental observable range of tumours. Thus, mode of action data can be useful in establishing more appropriate guidance levels for environmental contaminants. It is the understanding of the biological processes that lead to tumour development along with the response data derived from experimental studies that can help discern the shape of the dose-response at low doses (linear vs. nonlinear). Because it is experimentally difficult to establish "true thresholds" from others with a nonlinear dose-response relationship, the proposed guidelines take a practical approach to depart from low-dose linear extrapolation procedures when there is sufficient experimental support for a mode of action consistent with nonlinear biological processes (e.g., tumours resulting from the disruption of normal physiological processes).

AN - 72360354; 11051613 AB - The toxic effect of uranium in cultured preimplantation embryos of the mouse is presented. Embryos were obtained from hybrid females CBA x C57 BL following induction of superovulation and were incubated in M16 cultured medium. Two different experiments were performed. In one, embryos in a one-cell stage were placed in culture media with final concentrations of uranyl nitrate of 104 and 208 microg/mL during 120 h in the same dish. In the other experiment, embryos in a one-cell stage were placed in culture medium with uranyl nitrate with final U concentrations of 26, 52, 104, and 208 microg/mL. At 24 h, those embryos which had reached the two-cell stage were transferred to another culture dish to which fresh solutions with uranyl nitrate were added. The percentage of embryos in two-cell stage, morula, early blastocyst, expanded blastocyst, and hatched blastocyst were recorded at 24, 72, 96 and 120 h of culture. The results obtained showed that concentrations as from 26 microg U/mL induced the delay of embryo development and the impairment of blastomere proliferation. The toxic effect of uranium increased in those experiments in which the embryos were transferred to a new medium.

AN - 71199738; 10863528 AB - The role of reactive oxygen species in ionizing radiation injury and the potential of antioxidants to reduce these deleterious effects have been studied in animal models for more than 50 years. This review focuses on the radioprotective efficacy and the toxicity in mice of phosphorothioates such as WR-2721 and WR-151327, other thiols, and examples of radioprotective antioxidants from other classes of agents. Naturally occurring antioxidants, such as vitamin E and selenium, are less effective radioprotectors than synthetic thiols but may provide a longer window of protection against lethality and other effects of low dose, low-dose rate exposures. Many natural antioxidants have antimutagenic properties that need further examination with respect to long-term radiation effects. Modulation of endogenous antioxidants, such as superoxide dismutase, may be useful in specific radiotherapy protocols. Other drugs, such as nimodipine, propranolol, and methylxanthines, have antioxidant properties in addition to their primary pharmacological activity and may have utility as radioprotectors when administered alone or in combination with phosphorothioates.

AN - 70539498; 15211929 AB - The model of hamster cheek pouch carcinogenesis closely mimics the development of human oral cancer. The study of the interaction between chemical carcinogens and radiation in the process of oral carcinogenesis is of interest given that the oral cavity is frequently exposed to chemical carcinogens such as alcohol and tobacco and is the route of entry of therapeutic radiation. In this context, markers of incipient alterations associated to a process of malignant transformation would contribute to early diagnosis and follow-up. The aim of the present study was to assess the early changes produced by carcinogenic agents applied separately or combined in a two-stage carcinogenesis protocol in hamster cheek pouch. The cheek pouch of the hamsters was treated with a single dose of radiation (20 Gy) or 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) as initiating agents and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) as a promoting agent for 1 or 2 weeks. The end-points chosen to identify early alterations were hyperplastic foci and silver-stained nucleolar organizer regions (Ag NOR). The data show that both markers are useful in the detection of early alterations compatible with a process of malignant transformation.

AN - 70534012; 12594904 AB - This study was prompted by toxic responses to disinfecting agents reported in patients after surgical procedures and in sensitized health care personnel. We evaluated the cytotoxicity of seven substances used in the formulation of common liquid chemical disinfectants and sterilants. We found that a standard method based on direct microscopic examination of cell cultures was insensitive and may result in an underestimation of the risk that disinfectants pose to health care personnel or patients who are exposed to these substances. Using independent quantitative tests measuring the integrity of the cellular membrane, metabolic activity, or cell growth, we found that there is a several-hundredfold difference in the relative toxicity of various disinfecting substances. The concentration toxic in 50% of the cell population (TC(50)) that was found for each disinfectant was similar in a variety of cell lines from human, monkey, or mouse origin. Statistical analysis of TC(50)s suggests that liquid disinfecting agents could be classified in three main groups according to their relative toxicity, with: (1) mild (TC(50) > 1 mM, including phenol, hydrogen peroxide, and formaldehyde); (2) moderate (1mM > TC(50) > 0.1 mM, sodium hypochlorite); and (3) severe (TC(50) < 0.1 mM, glutaraldehyde, cupric ascorbate, and peracetic acid) toxicity. These data suggest a vast difference in the potential risk of various disinfectants and sterilants. The data presented in this study should help to define the relative toxic risk of different disinfecting substances to patients and health care personnel and assist in the selection of safer microbicidal formulations.

Hydrates form under high pressure at temperatures near freezing in ocean sediments and arctic permafrost. Gas Hydrates, although not likely to become an economic natural gas resource for many years, have the potential to radically alter the balance of world energy. This paper will summarize the status and expected future directions for research to: 1) quantify and characterize the resource, 2) assess the producibility of hydrate deposits, 3) understand the potential impact of hydrates on safety and seafloor stability for structures in areas underlain by hydrates, 4) define the potential impacts of hydrates on global climate change, and 5) use hydrates to transport gas.

This field trip will examine the regional geologic and hydrologic setting for Yucca Mountain, as well as specific results of the site characterization program. The first day focuses on the regional setting with emphasis on current and paleo hydrology, which are both of critical concern for predicting future performance of a potential repository. Morning stops will be in southern Nevada and afternoon stops will be in Death Valley. The second day will be spent at Yucca Mountain. The field trip will visit the underground testing sites in the "Exploratory Studies Facility" and the "Busted Butte Unsaturated Zone Transport Field Test" plus several surface-based testing sites. Much of the work at the site has concentrated on studies of the unsaturated zone, an element of the hydrologic system that historically has received little attention. Discussions during the second day will comprise selected topics of Yucca Mountain geology, hydrology and geochemistry and will include the probabilistic volcanic hazard analysis and the seismicity and seismic hazard in the Yucca Mountain area. Evening discussions will address modeling of regional groundwater flow, the results of recent hydrologic studies by the Nye County Nuclear Waste Program Office, and the relationship of the geology and hydrology of Yucca Mountain to the performance of a potential repository. Day 3 will examine the geologic framework and hydrology of the Pahute Mesa-Oasis Valley Groundwater Basin and then will continue to Reno via Hawthorne, Nevada and the Walker Lake area.

The driving force is usually part of a larger waste reduction program. Economic or legislative forces have not been a driving force for spent refractory recycling/reuse. Past and current spent refractory recycling/reuse practices will be reviewed, with emphasis on specific programs at steel and aluminum companies. Program goals and progress of the joint Office of Industrial Technologies-DOE/Steel Manufacturers Association program directed at spent refractory reuse with electric arc furnace steel producers will also be discussed.

S. Department of Energy investigated the use of liquid-emulsion membranes (LEM) for the selective removal and recovery of metals such as copper and zinc from mine waste waters. This investigation included field tests of a mobile, pilot plant-scale, continuous-flow LEM system. The system was tested at copper mines with solutions containing from 100 to 1,400 ppm Cu, and at a zinc mine with a solution containing 115 ppm Zn. Typical results from the copper tests were >90% copper recovery, and zinc extraction from waste water also was typically >90%. Although all of these waste waters contained high impurity levels, pure products were produced. On several of these field tests, integrated systems were tested that resulted in recovery of metal by-products, selective precipitation of iron, and polishing to reach discharge targets for essentially all of the contained metals. In addition, some results are included from laboratory-scale tests. JF - Proceedings of the ...

Whereas most of the ridge crest is associated with generally smooth seafloor and laterally continuous strata, one area on the ridge crest near the 2,650 m contour is associated with complex bathymetry and contains a >20 km long and >100 m deep bathymetric depression. This depression has been described as a collapse structure (Dillon et al., 2000). Fault scarps that appear to sole out at or near the base of gas hydrate stability bound the depression. To investigate the origin of this structure, the timing of its formation, its association with the underlying gas hydrate, and the potential role of this structure in stimulating methane gas venting, 33 piston cores were collected in and around this feature in July 2000. Lithologies of the cored sediment consist of soft (Late Quaternary?) carbonate ooze overlying distinctly firmer hemipelagic clays. The carbonate oozes were over 14 m thick in some of the cores within the depression. However, the carbonate oozes are much thinner and underlain by the presumably older firm clay on the exposed fault scarps. The variation in sediment thickness is consistent with progressive, rather than catastrophic development of the depression. Sulfate depletion in pore water occurs at shallower sub-surface outside the structure and away from the bounding faults. This implies that less methane is diffusing out of the fault zones than from the surrounding areas with thicker sediment drapes. One interpretation of these preliminary data is that the methane once contained in the strata exposed on the scarp faces has already been vented into the ocean.

We frame the ongoing debate on the origin of secondary mineralization in regulatory terms, answering the question of what happens next. Proposed regulations for high-level radioactive waste disposal at the candidate Yucca Mountain repository are based on a risk-informed, performance-based approach (10 CFR Part 63: FR, v. 64, 8640-8679). Compliance to a dose standard in the proposed regulation would be demonstrated through a performance assessment (PA). The PA, would need to include an evaluation of the probability and potential consequences on repository performance from thermal fluids invading the repository. First, the PA would need to identify the features, events and processes (FEPs) that might affect repository performance. In this case, periodic flooding of the repository by warm groundwater is the FEP. The probability of occurrence of the FEP would need to be determined. If flooding of the repository by warm groundwater has at least one chance in 10,000 of occurring over 10,000 years, then the PA would need to examine the consequences to performance of the geologic repository. Enhanced corrosion of waste packages, from exposure to the thermal waters, is one possible consequence. Finally, the PA would need to estimate the expected annual dose to the average member of the critical group as a result of releases from the geologic repository. The PA submitted by the U. S. Department of Energy in any potential license application would be required to assess the potential for this disruptive event scenario and evaluate the FEP, in detail, if the magnitude and time of the resulting expected annual dose would be significantly changed by its omission.

The process utilizes a slurry of water mixed with a magnesium silicate mineral, such as olivine [forsterite end member (Mg2SiO4)], or serpentine [Mg3Si2O5(OH)4], and is roughly comparable to the natural serpentinization reaction of ultramafic minerals. Carbon dioxide is dissolved in the slurry to form carbonic acid (H2CO3), which dissociates to H+ and HCO3-. The H+ ion hydrolyzes the mineral, liberating Mg2+ cations which react with the bicarbonate to form the solid carbonate magnesite (MgCO3). Two separate but contemporaneous reactions thus occur, mineral hydrolysis and carbonation. Results of the baseline tests, conducted on ground products of the natural minerals, have demonstrated that the kinetics of the reaction are slow at ambient temperature (22 degrees C) and subcritical CO2 pressures (below 73 atm). However, at elevated temperature and pressure, coupled with continuous stirring of the slurry and gas dispersion within the water column, significant conversion to the carbonate occurs. Extent of reaction is roughly 90% within 24 hours, at 185 degrees C and partial pressure of CO2 (PCO2) of 115 atm, in distilled water. Sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride additions to the solution improve the reaction kinetics, resulting in an extent of reaction of roughly 80% within 0.5 hours, at 155 degrees C and PCO2 of 185 atm, on a sample of heat pretreated serpentine. Future studies are intended to investigate various mineral pretreatment options, the carbonation solution characteristics, alternative reactants, scale-up to a continuous process, and process economics.

In this context, risk is defined as expected annual dose to the average member of the critical group who is expected to receive the greatest radiological-release exposure. Risk is estimated by multiplying the probability of an event by its associated radiological dose-consequence. Within this risk-informed approach, we conducted quantitative performance assessment studies of disruptive scenarios that included possible waste package (WP) rupture by faulting and seismicity-induced rockfall in emplacement drifts. Performance assessment models bounding the effects of faulting and rockfall were derived from current geological, hydrological and geophysical studies of YM, including a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment by the U. S. Department of Energy (the DOE). Preliminary calculations indicate that faulting within the candidate repository would be too infrequent and disrupt too few WPs, and rocks dislodged by earthquakes would generally be too small, to damage WPs to significantly affect expected annual dose. Thus, our preliminary calculations indicate that fault displacement and seismicity-induced rockfall are not expected to significantly affect risk. These results provide insights that would be considered for NRC's evaluation of any potential DOE license application.

The mineralogy, elemental distribution among individual phases, and textures within the slag have been characterized. Information regarding the resistance to weathering of each phase is essential for determining whether toxic elements might leach from the slag into adjacent soil or ground water. Such information is especially important for this slag, since it is radioactive. Macroscopically, the slag is dense, blocky, moderately vesiculated, and is pink-brown in color. The predominant phases include Al-Mg-Cr spinel, Mg-Fe spinel, perovskite, glass, thorianite, and Fe-rich spherules called prills. Th and Ta are preferentially partitioned into the thorianite and the perovskite. Mg-Fe spinel occurs as elongated dendrites that commonly bisect euhedral Al-Mg-Cr spinel crystals. The dendritic spinel preferentially weather out near the slag surfaces. The complete weathering of the dendritic Mg-Fe spinel persists at least 350 mu m into the slag fragments. There is a transition zone where intact dendrites trend into areas where the dendrites have completely weathered. Electron microprobe analyses indicate that near the edge of the slag, the Mg-Fe spinel has been replaced by small crystals of a Ca-Ti-Zr-Th phase. There are significant implications associated with the loss of the Mg-Fe spinel. The missing dendritic spinel enhances the porosity and permeability of the slag, and this is of concern for a slag containing U, Th, and other heavy metals. The weathering rate for the Mg-Fe spinel in the slag averages 7 mu m per year, assuming a constant weathering rate and a sample age of 50 years. This rate and other observations can be used to calculate the rate of heavy metal release to the environment. Observations on slag may be useful for studies evaluating the resistance to weathering of similar minerals in a setting such as a hazardous waste containment facility.

Proposed regulations (10 CFR Part 63) specify a farming community 20 km south of YM as the "critical group" at highest risk during the 10,000 yr regulatory period. Risk to this group from future volcanic events is affected primarily by (i) eruption characteristics, (ii) interactions between volatile-rich magma and repository tunnels, (iii) waste-package and waste behavior in igneous events, and (iv) changes in airborne concentrations of contaminated ash-particles through time. Our model assumes (i) the next YM eruption is violent strombolian in character, capable of relatively widespread tephra dispersal, (ii) the number of waste packages disrupted is related to the diameter of typical subvolcanic conduits, (iii) waste-package failure and waste fragmentation occur during basaltic eruptions, and (iv) initial airborne particle concentrations are 10 (super -3) to 10 (super -2) g/m (super 3) , decreasing exponentially through time to around 10 (super -4) g/m (super 3) . The most significant uncertainties exist for assumptions (ii) and (iv): Subvolcanic conduits may interact with modified stresses around repository tunnels, potentially entraining more waste than currently assumed. Remobilization of tephra by wind, water, and farming is poorly understood in the YM region but can greatly affect airborne concentrations of contaminated ash through time. Risk in any given year is formulated by summing the 10 (super -7) probability-weighted doses received by the critical group from (1) an eruption in that year, and (2) older fall deposits from an eruption in each prior year. Our model indicates that peak annualized risk occurs in the first 1,000 yr after repository closure at about 1 mrem/yr. Similar risk estimates for other pathways, such as groundwater transport of radionuclides, are estimated 10x-100x lower than this value. This work was supported by the U. S.

The xenolith suite has been classified by texture, mineralogy and chemistry into the following groups: (1) Type I metasomatised and dry Cr diopside xenoliths with protogranular to porphyroclastic textures; (2) Type II AI augite spinel and garnet pyroxenite and websterite which have igneous and/or porphyroclastic textures and abundant phlogopite and/or amphibole; (3) Cr-poor megacrysts; and (4) mafic lower crustal xenoliths. Estimates of Type I xenolith temperatures are 990-1070 degrees C with pressure between 13 and 19 kbar. Type II xenoliths yield temperatures of 930-1150 degrees C and pressures in the range 12-13 kbar. The lower crustal xenolith mineral assemblages and geothermometry based on coexisting minerals suggest equilibration conditions between 6 and 8 kbar and 820-905 degrees C. Mantle plumes, which may be the source of the volatile flux, have implications for melt generation in the Arabian basalt provinces. It is estimated that the lithosphere beneath the Arabian Plate is less than 80 km thick. Xenolith data and geophysical studies indicate that the Moho is located at a depth of 40-37 km and that the crust-mantle transition zone has a thickness of 8-5 km and occurs at a depth of 27-30 km. The boundary between an upper granitic crust and a lower mafic crust occurs at a depth of 19 km. Type I dry xenoliths show a low overall concentration of REE (La/Yb = 1-2 and Sm = 0.7-1.1 times chondrite), whereas Type I hydrous xenoliths are LREE enriched (La/Yb = 6-9 and Sm = 1.1-1.3 times chondrite). Type II xenoliths show high overall LREE enrichment. Petrological and geochemical data for the lower crustal xenoliths indicate that these xenoliths represent basaltic cumulates crystallised at lower crustal pressures.

This method is characterized by its big deep penetration, compared with the conventional surface geoelectrical methods and through boreholes. The proposed telluric method consists of measuring two telluric fields. The first one is horizontal and obtained at the surface using a reference line (E (sub EW) & E (sub NS) ). The second one is vertical (E (sub V) ) and obtained in the well between two mobile electrodes M and N. The ratio between the horizontal and vertical telluric fields (E (sub V) /E (sub EW) & E (sub V) /E (sub NS) ) is of interest in this research work. The application of this method at the Rouez Mine in France permits a location of several conductors not intersecting with the studied well No. 32. The presence of these conductors is approved by morphological and lithological description. The well-known macroanisotropy phenomenon is demonstrated in the studied area, where it has been found that longitudinal resistivity rho (sub EW) , obtained according to the reference line of EW direction is less than transverse resistivity rho (sub NS) , obtained according to the reference line of NS direction. A wide telluric anomaly at the depth of 140 m has been detected, which could be related to an equivalent conductor sphere. The horizontal distance between this conductor and well No. 32 is estimated to be 70 m. The new telluric configuration is important in mining prospecting, since its application decreases considerably the well number needed for the detecting of spread conductors and gives rapidly an idea about the distribution of the conductors in the plan. More tests at the theoretical and practical levels are still needed to make this configuration adapted and easily used in geophysical prospecting. JF - Journal of King Abdulaziz University.

The NRC staff has evaluated the role and applicability of geophysical techniques at three research field locations involving unsaturated, heterogeneous soils and fractured rock. The techniques evaluated included: (1) electroresistive tomography (ERT) to assess water flow through unsaturated, heterogeneous soils and fractured rock, to identify fracture aperture sizes that contribute to water migration and rapid fluxes, and to image three-dimensional resistivity within the zone bounded by the boreholes; (2) surface electromagnetic induction (EM) to detect changes in the apparent electrical conductivities from which water content changes can be inferred; and (3) multi-sensor capacitance probes (MCP) to determine temporal and spatial resolution of infiltration, deep percolation, and ground-water recharge in shallow heterogeneous soils. Specifics of the geophysical techniques and surveys used at the three sites are discussed and evaluated in the context of environmental risk assessments involving radionuclide transport.

Deposition of Ringbone strata accompanied basin development during an early phase of the Laramide orogeny. Ringbone strata crop out in several areas in the northern part of the Little Hatchet Mountains. Near Playas Peak, the Ringbone Formation rests disconformably on the upper Albian to lower Cenomanian Mojado Formation and is overlain unconformably by the lower Tertiary Skunk Ranch Formation. In its northernmost exposure, the Ringbone Formation is interbedded with the Hidalgo Formation. Ringbone strata attain a maximum thickness of 1608 m and are divided into three informal lithostratigraphic members. Strata in the lower member have a maximum thickness of 120 m and consist predominantly of sedimentary-clast conglomerate derived from Lower Cretaceous and Paleozoic sedimentary rocks that were located to the northwest. Conglomerate successions in the lower member are interpreted as alluvial-fan and braided-stream deposits. The middle member attains a maximum thickness of 1095 m and was deposited by a northeast-draining paleofluvial system that flowed nearly orthogonally to that of the lower member. Delta-plain, marginal lacustrine deltaic and lacustrine deposits also characterize the middle member. Rhyolitic to quartz latitic or rhyodacitic air-fail tuffs permit stratigraphic correlation between geographically separated exposures. Dinosaur remains indistinguishable between Albertosaurus or Daspletosaurus and well preserved hadrosaur skin impressions and skeletal material (vertebrae and ossified tendons) indicate a late Campanian to early Maastrichtian age for this member. The upper member attains a maximum thickness of 393 m and is mainly composed of coarse-grained sedimentary litharenite and conglomerate of braided-fluvial and alluvial origin. Beds of volcanic-clast conglomerate are interbedded with upper member sedimentary strata and increase in abundance in the northern exposure. The stratigraphic relationship between the compositionally distinct Hidalgo and Skunk Ranch formations supports the interpretation that the early Laramide basin, represented by the Ringbone Formation, was partitioned by a subsequent phase of Laramide deformation.

About $6 billion is dedicated annually to restoring contaminated lands and managing waste produced during the Cold War. The legacy of the Cold War presents unique environmental problems in unprecedented volumes of contaminated soil and water, radiological hazards, and a large number of contaminated structures and materials. Risk management is one of the key products of this program. At this point, immediate threats to humans and the environment are being controlled. This accomplishment enables a broader risk management focus on risk reductions as a result of remaining remediation projects and refinements in program planning to improve regulatory compliance, cost-effectiveness and communication. The Center for Risk Excellence is leading projects designed to demonstrate how risk information can be effectively used in decisions for remedial operations, selection of technology, and communication with stakeholders.

The agency succeeded the Atomic Energy Commission, which previously had responsibility for both developing and regulating nuclear activities. Federal research and development work for all energy sources, as well as nuclear weapons production, is now conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy. Under its responsibility to protect public health and safety, the NRC has three principal regulatory functions: (1) establish standards and regulations; (2) issue licenses for nuclear facilities and users of nuclear materials; and (3) inspect facilities and users of nuclear materials to ensure compliance with the requirements.

Concentrations in sea fish were found to vary between 0.27 and 27.48 Bq kg super(-1) fresh wt and 0.05-0.38 Bq kg super(-1) fresh wt for super(210)Po and super(210)Pb, respectively. On the other hand, in fresh water fish, the concentrations were relatively low and varied between 0.61 and 3.08 Bq kg super(-1) fresh wt for super(210)Po and 0.04 to 0.10 Bq kg super(-1) fresh wt for super(210)Pb. These variations in super(210)Po and super(210)Pb content in different species are due to differences in metabolism and feeding patterns. However, the highest levels were observed in Euthynnus alletteratus and Sardinella sp collected from different markets. The daily levels of intake due to fish consumption containing super(210)Po and super(210)Pb were calculated and found to be 6.0 and 0.24 mBq respectively, which are much lower than those reported in other countries. In addition, the collective doses were found to be 5.09 and 2.93 man.Sv for super(210)Po and super(210)Pb respectively. This suggests that the dose received by Syrians due to consumption of sea and river fish is rather small.

Measurements were performed using a high-resolution gamma spectrometer. Independent of location, the data show that the activity concentration for super(226)Ra and super(232)Th increases in the order: soil > spoil heap > ore. This order basically confirms that the activity levels in the spoil heap are low relative to natural background (i.e. soil samples), and thus the expected contribution in enhancement of natural background radiation is correspondingly low. The concept of concentration ratio (CR) has been applied to quantify the degree of accumulation of radionuclides in the solid waste (heap). The calculated CR values revealed that super(232)Th is most accumulated while there is no accumulation of super(40)K.The absorbed dose rates in air at a height of 1 m as estimated using DRCF from activities of super(241)Pb, super(214)Bi, super(212)Pb, super(228)Ac, super(208)Tl and super(40)K ranges from 6.6 to 32.3 nGy.h super(-1) (Adassedakh), and 2.2 to 26.1 nGy.h super(-1) (Hadal Auatib). The principal contributors to the total dose rate are super(40)K, super(214)Bi and super(228)Ac which generate almost 90%. The corresponding annual effective doses fall within the range: 0.04-0.20 mSv.y super(-1) for Adassedakh and 0.01-0.16 mSv.y super(-1) for Hadal Auatib. Although, these estimates do not include the internal radiation burden due to inhalation of radon and its decay products, the values obtained are insignificant relative to the dose limit specified for occupational exposure of any worker.

This service provides film badges to about 7500 workers all over the country on a monthly basis. Dose summaries were recorded and processed by the Dose Registry Information System, the database of which has been totally renewed since 1994. The statistical analysis provided refers to and deals with the mean annual dose, the collective dose, the distribution of the dose over the different specialities and the number of workers that have exceeded any of the established dose levels. Results concerning the annual dose summaries demonstrate a decrease in the collective and the mean individual dose to workers in the year 1995 and a slight but steady year-by-year increase thereafter during the period under consideration. This increasing tendency is discussed along with the increase in the ionising radiation applications, especially those in the medical sector, the change of the positioning of the film badge and the quality control measures provided by Greek law for radiation laboratories.

Macrophages were exposed in vitro to CdO (25 or 50 mu g) or CdCl sub(2) (30 or 40 mu M) for 2 to 72 h. Cytotoxicity was not evident until 18 h when exposed to 30 mu M CdCl sub(2) or 25 mu g CdO, but occurred as early as 12 h after exposure to 40 mu M CdCl sub(2) or 50 mu g CdO. Relative to untreated controls, phagocytic activity decreased progressively from 2 to 24 h after exposure to both forms of cadmium. TNF- alpha levels increased to 2- to 3-fold after 4 h and remained elevated until 24 h after exposure to 25 and 50 mu g CdO and 30 mu M CDCl sub(2), but decreased by 18-24 h at 40 mu M CdCl sub(2). CdCl sub(2) or CdO alone did not induce NO; however, both cadmium species reduced lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated NO production in a dose-dependent manner. Enhanced de novo synthesis of 70- and 90-kD heat shock, or stress, proteins was observed 2 to 8 h after exposure to both CdCl sub(2) and CdO; however, synthesis of these proteins returned to control levels by 24 h. Stress protein synthesis was enhanced by CDCl sub(2) or CdO prior to cytotoxicity, but coincided with a decrease in phagocytic capacity and an increase in TNF- alpha levels. The data suggest that cultured macrophages respond similarly in vitro to a particulate form and a soluble form of cadmium in a cell type that plays a pivotal role in inflammatory and immune responses.

The final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the Oconee units in this supplement to the final EIS. The Oconee plant lies on a 510-acre site located approximately eight miles northeast of Seneca. Each unit is equipped with a nuclear steam supply system manufactured by Babcock and Wilcox that uses a pressurized light-water reactor and once-through cooling with water drawn from Lake Keowee. The plant design includes radioactive and nonradioactive waste management systems. The electricity generated is transferred to switchyards located at the Oconee site. Each unit is rated at 846 megawatts (MW) net power, providing a combined station power generating capacity of 2,538 MW. Electricity generated by the plant, which can supply the needs of more than 730,000 homes, is delivered by 330 miles of transmission lines requiring 7,800 acres of land for rights-of-way. This supplemental EIS evaluates all 92 environmental issues considered in the generic EIS. Alternatives to license renewal include the No Action Alternative and alternative energy sources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The license renewals for the Oconee plant would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The entrainment and impingement of fish resulting from operation the plant's once-through cooling system would cause some fish mortality. The operation of the cooling system could also result in the breeding of pathogenic microbiological organisms, but the threat to human health would be slight. The continued maintenance of transmission lines associated with the plant would require the application of herbicides and other plant control activities, which would adversely affect vegetation within floodplains and wetlands, and result in bird collisions with power lines. The plant operation would result in releases of small amounts of radioactivity to the public and slightly more significant levels to plant workers. Accidents would result in releases of larger amounts of radioactivity. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

AN - 70834521; 10515584 AB - It has been reported in vitro that during the respiratory burst of phagocytic cells the superoxide anion production per cell shows a negative relation with the cell density. This process has been described as autoregulation. The aim of this work was to analyze the superoxide anion production in thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophage exudates to evaluate the importance of the peritoneal cavity environment in the autoregulation process. 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (PMA) was used to stimulate the respiratory burst and superoxide anion production was measured evaluating the intracellular formazan deposits that precipitate as a result of nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction. We have demonstrated a negative correlation between superoxide anion production and cell density in the peritoneal cavity in macrophages challenged with PMA. The response of individual cells was analyzed by means of an image analyzer, measuring the amount of formazan per cell and cell-size changes during the process of activation. The results revealed that the decrease in individual cell response as a function of higher cell densities were due to a significant increase in the amount of basal reaction macrophages. Concomitantly, the number of reactive cells remained unchanged irrespective of the cell density of the population. A direct correlation between cell size and superoxide anion production was observed. This phenomenon was demonstrated in SENCAR and Balb/c strains. However, macrophages from SENCAR mice showed greater superoxide anion production than those from Balb/c. The differences between strains could be associated to the increased sensitivity to PMA tumor promotion of SENCAR mice. Based on this property, macrophages from SENCAR mice were stimulated with opsonized zymosan, a particulate stimulus that reflects the interaction macrophage-microorganism during the phagocytic process. This data will contribute to the knowledge of infection control. We conclude that variations in basal reaction cells modulates the macrophage activation response when excess macrophages are recruited to the peritoneum. This is demonstrated using different stimuli, thus suggesting that this response may be applied to a wide variety of stimuli-macrophage interactions. The differences between strains may be associated to the increased sensitivity to PMA tumor promotion of SENCAR mice.

The specific objectives were to develop a modified push-pull test for use in identifying and quantifying the effects of sorption, precipitation, and biodegradation on the fate and transport of injected surfactants, use the developed test method to quantify the effects of these processes on the ability of injected surfactants to solubilize and mobilize residual phase trichloroethane (TCE), and demonstrate the utility of the developed test method for performing site characterization and feasibility studies for surfactant-enhanced DNAPL recovery systems in the field. The results from the intermediate-scale laboratory experiments conducted for this project indicate that the single-well, push-pull test method can provide quantitative information on the effectiveness of injected surfactants in enhancing DNAPL solubilization in natural aquifer sediments.

A centralised tool employing a gamma-ray source of very low radioactivity (1.8 MBq) is used. The logging tool is tested using super(133)Ba and super(137)Cs sources with a 37 mm (diameter) x 75 mm Nal (TI) scintillation detector. Five source-to-detector configurations were analysed for 18 geophysical models, 13 of which had a borehole diameter of 130 mm and the other 5 had a borehole diameter of 160 mm. Regression analysis on the laboratory logging data for each configuration in order to establish the calibration equation for a lead (Pb) and zinc metal equivalent (ZME) prediction is carried out. The optimum configuration for the logging probe using a super(133)Ba source was determined to be 52 mm source-to-detector spacing. This configuration gives the best results for both Pb and ZME grade. The rms deviations for Pb and ZME were 0.33 and 2.3%, respectively. The optimum configuration for the logging probe using a super(137)Cs source was determined to be 64 mm source-to-detector spacing. This configuration gives the best results for both Pb and ZME grade. The rms deviations for Pb and ZME were 0.36 and 2.2 %, respectively.

AN - 69291124; 10568288 AB - Organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were determined in sediments and clams collected from the coast of the north of Vietnam during the rainy season (August-September 1997). Results show that the organochlorine pesticides of major concern are HCHs (1.2-33.7 ng g-1 dry wt.), DDTs (6.2-10.4 ng g-1 dry wt.) and HCB (0.1-6.5 ng g-1 dry wt.). PCBs, in aroclor 1254 equivalents, were also generally present in concentrations ranging from 0.47 to 28.1 ng g-1 sediment dry wt. Concentrations measured in the soft tissues of clams (Meretrix meretrix) generally reflect the level of contamination at the sampling sites. In the clams, the concentrations of DDTs (12.0-23.3 ng g-1 dry wt.) and PCBs (5.1-25.3 ng g-1 dry wt.) were generally higher than those of other chlorinated hydrocarbons. These results underscore the need to improved environmental protection measures in order to reduce the exposure of the population to these persistent and bioaccumulative compounds through food ingestion.

This corrective action investigation was conducted in accordance with the Corrective Action Investigation Plan for CAU 240 as developed under the Federal Facility Agreement and Consent Order. Located in Area 25 at the Nevada Test Site in Nevada, CAU 240 is comprised of three Corrective Action Sites (CASs): 25-07-01, Vehicle Washdown Area (Propellant Pad); 25-07-02, Vehicle Washdown Area (F and J Roads Pad); and 25-07-03, Vehicle Washdown Station (RADSAFE Pad). In March 1999, the corrective action investigation was performed to detect and evaluate analyte concentrations against preliminary action levels (PALs) to determine contaminants of concern (COCs). There were no COCs identified at CAS 25-07-01 or CAS 25-07-03; therefore, there was no need for corrective action at these two CASs. At CAS 25-07-02, diesel-range organics and radionuclide concentrations in soil samples from F and J Roads Pad exceeded PALs. Based on this result, potential CAAs were identified and evaluated to ensure worker, public, and environmental protection against potential exposure to COCs in accordance with Nevada Administrative Code 445A. Following a review of potential exposure pathways, existing data, and future and current operations in Area 25, two CAAs were identified for CAU 240 (CAS 25-07-02): Alternative 1 - No Further Action, and Alternative 2 - Clean Closure by Excavation and Disposal. Alternative 2 was identified as the preferred alternative. This alternative was judged to meet all requirements for the technical components evaluated, compliance with all applicable state and federal regulations for closure of the site, as well as minimizing potential future exposure pathways to the contaminated soils at the F and J Roads Pad at CAU 240.

The rule became effective on July 10, 1996, giving nuclear power plant licensees 5 years to implement it. During 1994-1995, NRC staff visited nine nuclear power plant sites to observe licensees' preparations for implementation of the rule. The teams found that most of the licensees had not established goals, or performance criteria for monitoring structures at their sites. The licensees contended that the structures were inherently reliable and required no monitoring under the maintenance rule. On the basis of earlier site visits performed by NRC staff to assess the condition of structures, the NRC staff could not accept this contention, and clarified its position in Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 1.160, 'Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants'. This paper discusses the applicability of the maintenance rule criteria for structures and its usefulness in ensuring that the structures, systems, and components within the scope of the maintenance rule are capable of fulfilling their intended functions. Also discussed are the aspects of maintenance rule efforts that could be useful for license renewal applications.

These tests were carried out in a scaled representation of a reactor vessel which was initially filled with saturated water up to the elevation of the hot legs. Depressurization valves installed on take-off lines from the hot legs were opened and level swell ensued in the reactor vessel initiating a two-phase blowdown. This was followed by subsequent single-phase discharge transient which in some cases led to core uncovery. A combined model encompassing the two-phase and single-phase discharge portions of the transient is proposed. The inventory-versus-pressure traces obtained from the model compare well with the experimental results. These traces are discussed as bounding trajectories for a large class of small break loss of coolant accident (LOCA) transients which otherwise must be considered individually.

In contrast to DB[a,l]P tetrols, for which only trans isomers exhibited two conformers, all stereoisomeric dA adducts adopt two different conformations with either half-chair or half-boat structures for the cyclohexenyl ring, and an "open"- or "folded"-type configuration between dA and the DB[a,l]P moiety. The major conformations observed for trans-syn-, cis-syn-, and cis-anti-DB[a,l]PDE-14-N super(6)dA could be assigned on the basis of the previous calculations for the DB[a,l]P tetrols. The major conformers of the trans-syn- and cis-syn-DB[a,l]PDE-14-N super(6)dA adducts exist in conformations I and II, with their fluorescence origin bands at similar to 382 and similar to 389 nm, respectively. In conformation I, the cyclohexenyl ring adopts a half-boat structure with dA in a pseudoaxial position (an open configuration), whereas the cyclohexenyl ring in conformation II adopts a half-chair structure with dA in pseudoequatorial position (a folded configuration). The major conformation of cis-anti-DB[a,l]PDE-14-N super(6)dA. with its origin band at similar to 389 nm, was also assigned as a folded-type configuration with a half-chair structure in the cyclohexenyl ring. Molecular mechanics and dynamical simulations were performed for interpretation of the low-temperature fluorescence spectra and super(1)H NMR coupling constants observed for the trans-anti-DB[a,l]PDE-14-N super(6)dA adduct. The major conformer of this adduct has a half-chair structure in the cyclohexenyl ring, but a deviation from planarity in the fjord region different from that of conformer II of cis-anti-DB[a,l]PDE-N super(6)dA. This new structure is labeled as conformer II'. Its (0,0) fluorescence band is at 388.1 and 388.3 nm in ethanol and glycerol/water glasses, respectively, consistent with the folded-type configuration revealed by the calculations. The fluorescence line-narrowed spectra reveal that the trans-syn-, cis-syn-, trans-anti-, and cis-anti-DB[a,l]PDE-14-N super(6)dA adducts can be distinguished. Thus, their spectra should prove useful for identification of DB[a,l]P-DNA adducts formed at low levels in biological samples.

AN - 36411518; 7562 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an addendum to the rules promulgated for the renewal of nuclear power plant operating licenses is proposed. The addendum addresses the transportation of spent nuclear fuel in the vicinity of a single high-level waste repository and summarizes analyses undertaken to determine whether impacts of the transportation of higher enrichment and higher burn-up spent nuclear fuel are consistent with regulatory values. This generic supplemental EIS addresses two questions generically. The first question is whether presently considered environmental impact values would still be appropriate for use in license renewal reviews if spent fuel were transported to a single destination, such as the candidate repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, even though the values were developed from data reflecting spent fuel shipments to several destinations. The analysis concludes that cumulative impacts of SNF transport to a single repository would be small for all plants shipping spent fuel with characteristics specified in the appropriate regulatory rule. The second question is whether the presently considered environmental impact values would continue to be appropriate for use in license renewal reviews given that applicants would be shipping spent fuel that was more highly enriched and irradiated longer than is accounted for in the analysis used to develop current standards. The analysis covered incident-free transportation and transportation involving hypothetical accidents causing release of radionuclides. The impacts considered with respect to both questions cover the presently considered values as well as values for spent fuel enriched up to five percent uranium-235 with average burn-up for the peak rod to current levels approved by the regulatory regime up to 62,000 megawatt-days/metric tons uranium. POSITIVE IMPACTS: While allowing for the continued generation of power for industrial, commercial, and residential consumers, the license renewal rules, including those for transportation of waste covered in this EIS, would ensure safe operation of the affected nuclear facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Accidental spills of transported nuclear wastes could have greater health effects on transportation workers and the public. Very slight risks of exposure to radionuclides would be present for crews employed in transporting the wastes. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

AN - 70044619; 10486722 AB - A capillary electrophoretic method for the separation and on-line identification of closely related analytes using low-temperature fluorescence spectroscopy is reported for the eight diastereomeric deoxyadenosine (dA) adducts derived from dibenzo[a,l]pyrene diol epoxide (DB[a,l]PDE). Electrophoretic separation of stereoisomers was accomplished by application of a mixed surfactant buffer [dioctyl sulfosuccinate (DOSS) and Brij-S], which was below the critical micelle concentration (CMC) due to the high concentration (approximately 25%) of organic solvent. Addition of multiple surfactant additives to the separation buffer provided electrophoretic resolution, which was unattainable under single surfactant conditions. It is shown that the CE-separated analyte zones could be identified on-line via low-temperature (4.2 K) fluorescence non-line narrowing and fluorescence line-narrowing (FLN) spectroscopy. In addition, it was determined that in CE buffer trans-syn-,cis-syn- and cis-anti-DB[a,l]PDE-14-N6dA diastereomeric adducts exist mostly with the -dA and DB[a,l]P moiety in an "open"-type conformation while the trans-anti-DB[a,l]PDE-14-N6dA adducts exist in two different conformations whose relative distribution depends on matrix composition. The above conformations have also been revealed by selective laser excitation. Thus, the low-temperature methodology not only provides fingerprint structure via vibrationally resolved 4.2 K fluorescence spectra for adduct identification, but also provides conformational information on the spatial relationship of the carcinogen and dA moiety. These results, taken together with those for DB[a,l]P-DNA adducts formed in standard glasses and mouse epidermis exposed to DB[a,l]P, support our earlier findings that DB[a,l]P-derived adducts exist in different conformations [Jankowiak et al., Chem. Res. Toxicol. 11 (1998) 674]. Therefore, the combination of the separation power of CE and spectral selectivity of low-temperature fluorescence spectroscopy at NLN and FLN conditions provides a powerful methodology which should prove useful for identification of closely related DNA adducts formed at low levels in biological systems.

We refer to this process as "electrochemical incineration" (ECI) because the ultimate degradation products, e.g., carbon dioxide, are equivalent to those achieved by thermal incineration processes. In this work, the ECI of 4-chlorophenol is achieved in an aqueous medium using a platinum anode coated with a quaternary metal oxide film containing Ti, Ru, Sn, and Sb oxides. The electrode is stable and active when used with a solid Nafion membrane without the addition of soluble supporting electrolyte. Liquid chromatography (LC), including reverse phase and ion exchange chromatography, is coupled with electrospray mass spectrometry (ES-MS) and used, along with gas chromatography--mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and measurements of pH, chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total organic carbon (TOC), to study the reaction and identify the intermediate products from the ECI of 4-chlorophenol. Twenty-six intermediate products are identified and reported. The most abundant of these products are benzoquinone, 4-chlorocatechol, maleic acid, succinic acid, malonic acid, and the inorganic anions chloride, chlorate, and perchlorate. After 24 h of ECI, a solution that initially contained 108 ppm 4-chlorophenol yields only 1 ppm TOC with 98% of the original chlorine remaining in the specified inorganic forms. LC-ES-MS and direct infusion ES-MS detection limits are between 80 ppb and 4 ppm for these intermediate products. Elemental analysis of the electrolyzed solutions by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry ICP-MS showed that only trace amounts (<25 ppb) of the metallic elements comprising the metal oxide film were present in the solution.

Most of the phosphate processed ore is exported in large quantities via one of the Syrian ports (Tartous) situated on the east part of the Mediterranean Sea (34 degree 54 N, 35 degree 52 E). Load activities into ships have been carried out for more than 20 years. Dust carrying radioactivity elevated and transported to the surroundings; most of the port area is affected. The impact of these loading activities on the marine environment has been evaluated. super(210)Po and other natural radionuclides in seawater, sediment and marine organisms have been determined. Sampling work was executed on the 22 of October 97 where surface sediments and sea water (50 1), fish and algae samples were collected from different sites inside and outside the port (Fi1). The collected samples were measured by gamma spectrometry using hypurgermanium detectors determine the gamma emitters while super(210)Po and super(210)Pb determinations were carried out by the standard methods used in EML, Monaco.

The results indicated that gamma irradiation or urea treatments increased the digestible energy values significantly (P < 0.05) and these were attributed to the increases IVOMD and decreases cell-wall constituents of treated samples. The experimental agricultural by-products do not respond to the treatments in the same amount in increasing the IVOMD. There was no significant effect of irradiation and urea treatments on GE. Combined treatments had slightly less effect in increasing IVDE as the addition of both effects. The treatment of 200 kGy and 5% urea resulted in a larger increase in the digestible energy and a better effect by reducing the concentration of the cell-wall constituents even more than what occurred using a single treatment. However, the combination of irradiation with urea treatments could reduce the applied irradiation doses for increasing the IVDE in some studied agricultural by-products.

Exposure to As in drinking water has been associated with the development of skin and internal cancers and noncarcinogenic effects such as diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, and cardiovascular diseases. There is little data on specific mechanism(s) of action for As, but a great deal of information on possible modes of action. Although arsenite [As(III)] can inhibit more than 200 enzymes, events underlying the induction of the noncarcinogenic effects of As are not understood. With respect to carcinogenicity, As can affect DNA repair, methylation of DNA, and increase radical formation and activation of the protooncogene c-myc, but none of these potential pathways have widespread acceptance as the principal etiologic event. In addition, there are no accepted models for the study of As-induced carcinogenesis. At the final meeting session we considered research needs. Among the most important areas cited were a) AS metabolism and its interaction with cellular constituents; b) possible bioaccumulation of As; c) interactions with other metals; d) effects of As on genetic material; e) development of animal models and cell systems to study effects of As; and f) a better characterization of human exposures as related to health risks. Some of the barriers to the advancement of As research included an apparent lack of interest in the United States on As research; lack of relevant animal models; difficulty with adoption of uniform methodologies; lack of accepted biomarkers; and the need for a central storage repository for stored specimens.

AN - 69800127; 10355111 AB - Activities of radon-222 in selected surface waters of the English Lake District have been determined. Very wide variations were observed. The activity present in lakes and streams depends on the nature of the bedrock or sediment, the presence of faulting, the degree of turbulence, and the supply of fresh water from tributaries and ground waters. Radium-226 and uranium-238 activities were found to be comparable but in no case was it found that radon-222 is significantly supported by dissolved radium-226.

Implementation Plan. AN - 62250260; ED462975 AB - This document is the implementation plan for the Information Technology for the 21st Century (IT[squared]) initiative. With this initiative, the Federal Government is making an important re-commitment to fundamental research in information technology. The initiative proposes $366 million in increased investments in computing, information, and communications research and development (R&D). Six agencies--all highly dependent on advances in information technology--are participating in the initiative: Department of Defense (DoD) (including the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency [DARPA]); Department of Energy (DOE); National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA); National Institutes of Health (NIH); National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA); and National Science Foundation (NSF). Each agency will bring its own unique mix of capabilities and expertise to bear on an appropriate subset of the R&D objectives of the initiative. The initiative will extend existing R&D and provide opportunities to address new, complementary R&D topics in three key areas: long term information technology R&D leading to fundamental advances in computing and communications; advanced computing infrastructure to facilitate scientific and engineering discoveries of national interest; and research on the economic and social implications of the Information Revolution, and the training of additional information technology workers at universities. Details for each of these areas are presented in three sections of this report, with each section providing an introduction and strategy and descriptions of specific agency efforts. A final section presents the management plan, outlining IT[squared] interagency management objectives and management structure; general implementation guidelines; reporting; and the President's Information Technology Advisory Committee (PITAC) and other external advisory groups. A table at the beginning of the report shows the proposed IT(squared) fiscal year 2000 budget, in millions of dollars, for each agency and each of the three key areas.

Corrective Action Unit 143 consists of two waste dumps used for the disposal of solid radioactive wastes. Contaminated Waste Dump No. 1 (CAS 25-23-09) was used for wastes generated at the Reactor Maintenance Assembly and Disassembly (R-MAD) Facility and Contaminated Waste Dump No. 2 (CAS 25-23-03) was used for wastes generated at the Engine Maintenance Assembly and Disassembly (E-MAD) Facility. Both the R-MAD and E-MAD facilities are located in Area 25 of the Nevada Test Site. Based on site history, radionuclides are the primary constituent of concern and are located in these disposal areas; vertical and lateral migration of the radionuclides is unlikely; and if migration has occurred it will be limited to the soil beneath the Contaminated Waste Disposal Dumps. The proposed investigation will involve a combination of Cone Penetrometer Testing within and near the solid waste disposal dumps, field analysis for radionuclides and volatile organic compounds, as well as sample collection from the waste dumps and surrounding areas for off-site chemical, radiological, and geotechnical analyses. The results of this field investigation will support a defensible evaluation of corrective action alternatives in the corrective action decision document. JF - DOE/NV (U. S. Department of Energy.

DOE has initiated, or has collaborated with other government and industrial organizations in, these and other efforts relating to mercury and other hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), also known as air toxics. One of DOE's first reports on trace elements in coal was conducted from 1976 through 1978 by researchers at DOE's Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center (PETC, now FETC) and the Pittsburgh Mining Operations of the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Mines. The report was completed less than two years after DOE was formed, and 13 years before Title III of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments was enacted. The importance of properly accounting for mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants through understanding the complex behavior of mercury speciation and its interaction with flue gas and associated flue gas control equipment is amply described in the above documentation and analysis. Having placed these matters in context of our current understanding of mercury emissions, the U.S. coal-fired power generation industry's contribution to the global inventory can be more seriously debated as well as any considerations put forward to increase control levels beyond those currently realized with existing processes and equipment.

AN - 36412700; 7425 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal for an additional 20 years of the operating licenses for Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3, located in northwestern South Carolina, is proposed. The final generic EIS of May 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 68 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the Oconee units in this supplement to the final EIS. The Oconee plant lies on a 510-acre site located approximately eight miles northeast of Seneca. Each unit is equipped with a nuclear steam supply system manufactured by Babcock and Wilcox that uses a pressurized light-water reactor and once-through cooling with water drawn from Lake Keowee. The plant design includes radioactive and nonradioactive waste management systems. The electricity generated is transferred to switchyards located at the Oconee site. Each unit is rated at 846 megawatts (MW) net power, providing a combined station power generating capacity of 2,538 MW. Electricity generated by the plant, which can supply the needs of more than 730,000 homes, is delivered by 330 miles of transmission lines requiring 7,800 acres of land for rights-of-way. This supplemental EIS evaluated all 92 environmental issues considered in the generic EIS. Alternatives to license renewal include a No Action Alternative and alternative energy sources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The license renewals for the Oconee plant would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The entrainment and impingement of fish resulting from the operation the plant's once-through cooling system would cause some fish mortality. The operation of the cooling system could also result in the breeding of pathogenic microbiological organisms, but the threat to human health would be slight. The continued maintenance of transmission lines associated with the plant would require the application of herbicides and other plant control activities, which would adversely affect vegetation within floodplains and wetlands, and result in bird collisions with power lines. The plant operation would result in the release of small amounts of radioactivity to the public and slightly more significant levels to plant workers. Accidents would result in releases of larger amounts of radioactivity. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

Company representatives reaffirmed their commitment in principal to the NGDRS project. Given the downturn in oil prices and final results from the due diligence of the Stapleton property, AGI has decided to forego pursuing acquisition and build-out of the Stapleton Airport property. The major petroleum companies indicated that raising the $10-12 million endowment would be difficult in the current climate. The completion of the due diligence of the property also revealed major concerns about the environmental liability associated with the property, which would require indemnification of the AGI by the City of Denver. Given these complicating results, AGI officially terminated efforts regarding the Stapleton property effective March 31, 1999. Several steering committee members put forth a proposal that the companies make their non-proprietary holdings public and list them in the NGDRS GeoTrek metadata catalog. Most of these holdings are at C&M Storage in Schulemburg, Texas. The companies are discussing methods to allow for public access to these data with C&M.

A large number of boreholes have been drilled at the site, and an underground tunnel, the exploratory studies facility (ESF), has been constructed. A variety of boreholes and underground tests have been conducted that have provided large amounts of data from the UZ. This paper summarizes some of the current knowledge of geological and hydrological characteristics of the site and provides the framework for a series of technical papers that follow in this issue. A brief discussion is also given to the repository safety strategy for Yucca Mountain and the UZ site-scale flow model.

Concerned that the public's health might be at risk, EPA warned that asbestos dust was causing cancer in miners and industrial workers who made and installed asbestos products. Instead of protecting people, asbestos removal has turned into a fiasco. The reason is that EPA's warning resulted in a failure to make a distinction between when asbestos is dangerous and when it is not.The miners and industrial workers who made and installed asbestos products inhaled asbestos fibers, often for years or decades. The upshot is that after 20 years and spending $50 billion to remove asbestos, there still is no scientific evidence that asbestos in buildings is hazardous. In fact, in 1990 EPA acknowledged that asbestos in schools and offices presented a low risk -- and noted that improper asbestos removal could increase exposure by stirring up dust unnecessarily.

Apr 23, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2016-07-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RECLAMATION OF THE URANIUM MILL TAILINGS AT THE ATLAS SITE, MOAB, GRAND COUNTY, UTAH. AN - 36411240; 7368 AB - PURPOSE: The reclamation of an existing uranium mill tailings pile by Atlas Corporation at its uranium mill site, located near Moab in eastern Utah, is proposed. The mill ceased operating in 1984 and is being dismantled. The 10.5- million-ton, 130-acre mill tailings pile needs to be reclaimed for long-term disposal. Issues identified during the scoping process focus on the site's location on the Colorado River floodplain near the town of Moab and the Arches National Park. Contaminated materials are currently escaping the tailings pile at low rates, and tailings leachates are slowly diffusing downward into groundwater, some of which moves horizontally and enters the Colorado River. In addition, radioactive gas slowly escapes the tailings pile and enters the air. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 2), under which the NRC would make no licensing decision and Atlas would cease operations involving the management of the tailings (this is not considered a viable alternative), are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would require an amendment to Atlas's license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The amendment would enable Atlas to stabilize the tailings pile for permanent disposal in its current location at the Moab site, place the site under the long-term custodial care of the federal government, and prepare the site for closure. Under the proposal, the side slopes would be reduced to 30 percent or less to minimize the effects of erosion and possible earthquakes. Also, an earth and rock cover system would be installed over the pile to minimize radon escape, the infiltration of rain water into the tailings, the infiltration of tailings contaminants into groundwater, and tailings erosion potentially caused by surface runoff and flooding of the Colorado River and a nearby ephemeral channel known as Moab Wash. Earth and cover materials would be obtained from several possible borrow sites nearby. Following the reclamation, future commercial reuse of roughly half of the site would be precluded. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the contaminated material at the site would be stabilized and solidified, which would substantially reduce risks to the environment and to human health. The reclamation would minimize the risks from these contamination routes of contaminated material tailings and radioactive gas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: After reclamation, tailings leachates would continue to enter the Colorado River but at a much slower rate than currently; these leachates would have a slight adverse effect on aquatic biota. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 (42 U.S.C. 961(h)).

NSTC Presidential Review Directive, No. 4. AN - 62390614; ED434590 AB - This report presents the results of a review of the government-university partnership in research and associated educational activities undertaken by a multi-agency task force under the auspices of the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), focusing on ways to strengthen this partnership. The task force solicited the views of universities, university associations, and federal research agencies regarding the issues they considered most pressing. The review found that the government-university partnership in research is sound and continues to serve the nation in important ways. To help strengthen this partnership, the NSTC is issuing a proposed statement of the principles of the partnership to clarify the roles, responsibilities, and expectations of the parties and to provide a framework for the development and analysis of future policies, rules, regulations, and laws. The NSTC will also take specific actions, through federal agencies that fund university-based research, to make the partnership more effective and efficient, focusing on areas such as research integrity, merit review, cost-sharing policies and practices, grants administration, and regulation. Two appendixes list NSTC task force and working group members.

First, the overall philosophy of risk-informed decision-making, and the process framework are described. The philosophy is encapsulated in five principles, one of which states that, if the proposed change leads to an increase in core damage frequency or risk, the increases must be small and consistent with the intent of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Safety Goal Policy Statement. The second part of the paper discusses the use of PRA to demonstrate that this principle has been met. The discussion focuses on the acceptance guidelines, and on comparison of the PRA results with those guidelines. The difficulties that arise because of limitations in scope and analytical uncertainties are discussed and approaches to accommodate these difficulties in the decision-making are described.

AN - 36414418; 7314 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission of Baltimore Gas & Electric Company's operating licenses for the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP), located in southern Maryland, is proposed. The renewal period would be 20 years. The CCNPP is located on a 2,108-acre site approximately 40 miles southwest of Washington, District of Columbia, 7.5 miles north of Solomons Island, and 60 miles south of Baltimore. Approximately 220 acres were altered for siting of the plant and auxiliary structures. The plant has two pressurized light-water reactors, each having a design rating for net electrical power output of 845 megawatts (MW). The plant cooling is provided by a once-through heat dissipation system into the Chesapeake Bay using shoreline intake and offshore discharge structures. The CCNPP provides 12 million MW-hours of electricity annually to more than 1.0 million customers in a 2,300-square-mile area. The current operating licenses for Unit 1 and Unit 2 expires on July 31, 2014 and August 13, 2016, respectively. This generic EIS contains the results of a systematic evaluation of the consequences of renewing the operating license and operating a nuclear power plant for an additional 20 years. It evaluates 92 environmental issues using a three-level standard of significance (small, moderate, and large) based on guidelines established by the Council on Environmental Quality. A total of 68 issues were classified as small, while the remainder were classified as moderate. The alternatives to license renewal under consideration include a No Action Alternative, under which the CCNPP operating licenses would not be renewed, and other methods of power generation. The alternative power generation methods include coal-fired generation and gas-fired generation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The license renewal would ensure the applicant's ability to meet future generating system needs. The CCNPP would continue to provide work for 1,550 persons from surrounding communities; it constitutes the major area employer. The employment at the plant could increase by 60 jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Assuming the current pumping rate, the additional drawdown of water at an offsite well during the license renewal term associated with CCNPP operations would be less than five feet. The continued operation of CCNPP would result in continued loss of fish and shellfish due to entrainment in and impingement on intake structures; however, monitoring studies have demonstrated that these losses do not represent an irreversible or irretrievable commitment of resources. The increase in employment rolls could result in an increase of up to four percent in demand for housing and less than one percent in water demand and local traffic levels.

AN - 69683015; 10196673 AB - The prime concern of radiation protection policy since 1959 has been protecting DNA from damage. The 1995 NCRP Report 121 on collective dose states that since no human data provides direct support for the linear no threshold hypothesis (LNT), and some studies provide quantitative data that, with statistical significance, contradict LNT, ultimately, confidence in LNT is based on the biophysical concept that the passage of a single charged particle could cause damage to DNA that would result in cancer. Current understanding of the basic molecular biologic mechanisms involved and recent data are examined before presenting several statistically significant epidemiologic studies that contradict the LNT hypothesis. Over eons of time a complex biosystem evolved to control the DNA alterations (oxidative adducts) produced by about 10(10) free radicals/cell/d derived from 2-3% of all metabolized oxygen. Antioxidant prevention, enzymatic repair of DNA damage, and removal of persistent DNA alterations by apoptosis, differentiation, necrosis, and the immune system, sequentially reduce DNA damage from about 10(6) DNA alterations/cell/d to about 1 mutation/cell/d. These mutations accumulate in stem cells during a lifetime with progressive DNA damage-control impairment associated with aging and malignant growth. A comparatively negligible number of mutations, an average of about 10(-7) mutations/cell/d, is produced by low LET radiation background of 0.1 cGy/y. The remarkable efficiency of this biosystem is increased by the adaptive responses to low-dose ionizing radiation. Each of the sequential functions that prevent, repair, and remove DNA damage are adaptively stimulated by low-dose ionizing radiation in contrast to their impairment by high-dose radiation. The biologic effect of radiation is not determined by the number of mutations it creates, but by its effect on the biosystem that controls the relentless enormous burden of oxidative DNA damage. At low doses, radiation stimulates this biosystem with consequent significant decrease of metabolic mutations. Low-dose stimulation of the immune system may not only prevent cancer by increasing removal of premalignant or malignant cells with persistent DNA damage, but used in human radioimmunotherapy may also completely remove malignant tumors with metastases. The reduction of gene mutations in response to low-dose radiation provides a biological explanation of the statistically significant observations of mortality and cancer mortality risk decrements, and contradicts the biophysical concept of the basic mechanisms upon which, ultimately, the NCRPs confidence in the LNT hypothesis is based.

AN - 69561527; 9930835 AB - In the 1920's, reports of radium sources entering the public domain in an uncontrolled manner began to appear in the press and in the literature. Additionally, gold jewelry was made from depleted radon gold seeds which, in some cases, resulted in radiation injuries to the persons wearing the jewelry. Such jewelry was made as early as 1910. For many years, radium was distributed and used largely without regulatory oversight for safety. In the 1950's, increasing concern over the radiation hazards associated with the inadequate use, control, and disposal of radium sources resulted in increased regulatory oversight by the States, with significant assistance from the U.S. Public Health Service. In 1958, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission staff proposed extension of the general license concept to include measuring, gauging, and controlling devices. Since then, more than 1.8 million radioactive devices have been distributed under the general licenses in 10 CFR Part 31.5 and equivalent Agreement State regulations. These devices are typically used with minimal regulatory oversight. In recent years there has been an increasing number of reports of radioactive sources and devices appearing in the public domain as a result of inadequate control and disposal of these items with attendant risk of environmental contamination and radiation exposure. As a result of concerns over these developments there have been calls for increased regulatory oversight of general licensees. It is ironic that the present problems are the result of a program that was established about the time that States were increasing regulatory oversight over radium to address similar problems with radium.

Coal is our most abundant and cheapest fossil fuel resource, and it has played a vital role in the stability and growth of the U.S. economy. The energy source is also one of the fuels causing large CO (sub 2) emissions with the burning of coal in power plants. In the near future, coal may also have a role in solving environmental greenhouse gas concerns with increasing CO (sub 2) emissions throughout the world. Coal resources may be an acceptable "geological sink" for storing CO (sub 2) emissions in amenable unmineable coalbeds while significantly increasing the production of natural gas (CH (sub 4) ) from gassy coalbeds. Industry proprietary research has shown that the recovery of coalbed methane can be enhanced by the injection of CO (sub 2) over methane which could allow for the potential of targeting unmineable coals near fossil fueled power plants to be utilized for storing stack gas CO (sub 2) . Preliminary technical and economic assessments of this concept appear to merit further research leading to pilot demonstrations in selected regions of the United States. The benefits for considering and using unmineable coalbeds for a system concept of CO (sub 2) -CH (sub 4) cycle include the following: 1) CO (sub 2) is captured from power plant flue gas, pressurized, and transported to injection wells completed in deep unmineable coals; 2) Coals near existing power plants have enormous capacity to store CO (sub 2) while enhancing CH (sub 4) production; 3) Coal reserves underlie many U.S. power plants with as many as 90% unmineable; and 4) Injection of CO (sub 2) into unmineable gassy coals allow for displacement of one molecule of sorbed CH (sub 4) while two or more molecules of CO (sub 2) are sequestered on the coal surface.

In reaching this objective, one is attempting to ensure that remediation resources are expended efficiently to reduce contamination which poses the most risk. To determine if corrective action is necessary, a risk assessment is performed. The goal of risk assessment is to calculate (as close to reality as possible) the potential for harm to a given receptor from exposure to contamination. The results of risk assessment are often accompanied by uncertainty in almost every parameter used to produce a risk estimate. This uncertainty varies with exposure scenarios risk assessor's must consider during their work. Controlling uncertainty is critical to establishing the primary objective of risk-based corrective actions--that is not wasting remediation resources on minor risks. Avoidance of this can only be accomplished by developing realistic exposure scenarios based on established facts or defensible trends supported by accepted evidence. More often than not, exposure scenarios used in risk assessments are "presumed" or prescribed by conservative regulations. The use of presumed or prescribed exposure scenarios defeats the primary objective of risk-based corrective actions by forcing remediation to protect improbable receptors.

Models were developed and constructed by incorporating a sequence-stratigraphic framework using deterministic and stochastic methods. Specific procedures included defining grid architecture using stratal surfaces, upscaling, modeling lithologic properties deterministically, and creating multiple equiprobable realizations of aquifer stratigraphy. The resulting models identify geological characteristics that control ground-water movement and contaminant migration. These models effectively represent contrasts between sheetlike geometry of nearshore-transgressive sands in the Lost Lake aquifer zone and laterally discontinuous sands of complex shoreline environments in the M-Area aquifer zone. Trends and lateral facies changes of shoreface sandbars pinching out to the south are predicted by the models. Thin, high gamma-radiation intervals in the M Area aquifer zone represent poorly sorted sand containing clay beds and soil horizons, which formed under low-energy conditions in the backshore environment. These thin zones are likely to act as local barriers to flow. Three-dimensional integration of well data with depositional and sequence stratigraphic interpretations produced quantitative, geocellular aquifer models. These models are directly applicable to predicting preferential pathways of contaminant migration, determining optimum well locations, providing input data for flow simulators, and designing remediation systems.

Bounding discontinuities and sedimentation patterns can be recognized and traced in this passive-margin updip setting using sedimentological descriptions of cores, paleontological data, and subsurface correlations. Four third-order sequences are present within the Eocene strata investigated, which include the Congaree, Warley Hill, and Tinker Formations. Sand of the Congaree Formation, which corresponds to the lowermost sequence, forms a thick, aggradational succession deposited predominantly in the nearshore-shelf environment as accommodation space formed during generally rising relative sea level. The overlying third-order sequence corresponds to the Warley Hill Formation. This sequence includes marine-shelf clay deposited in response to maximum flooding and includes overlying lower shoreface sand, which becomes thicker in the updip direction. The upper two third-order sequences, which occur within the Tinker Formation, consist of progradational shoreface sands deposited on the proximal shelf. In the offshore direction, the shoreface sands grade into clay and limestone. Contacts between the Eocene formations tend to follow sequence boundaries, which is in agreement with an allostratigraphic approach. Unlike the formation contacts, boundaries between hydrostratigraphic units do not follow the third-order sequence boundaries because of lithologic variations within the sequences. Sand aquifers and clay confining units within the Eocene strata follow the aggradational and progradational patterns of clastic deposition, which were controlled by sediment influx as well as by changes in relative sea level. The pattern of sedimentation recognized in the Eocene strata and the applications for using a genetic stratigraphic approach are likely to pertain to other passive-margin successions.

By the 1950s plans were underway for the wide spread use of large nuclear reactors for electric power generation. A number of scientists realized that a plan was needed for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level wastes that would be generated by both commercial reactors and nuclear weapons development and manufacture. Scientific bodies in several countries evaluated options for nuclear waste disposal including reprocessing, separation and accelerator transmutation, deep seabed disposal, deep liquid injection, space disposal and disposal in geologic formations. Every scientific evaluation reached the same conclusion: only one option maximized public health and safety, used currently available scientific and engineering technology, and minimized risk and costs; engineered repositories in deep geologic media. Since that time, most nuclear nations have developed strategies and plans for disposal of spent nuclear fuel and/or high-level nuclear wastes in deep geologic formations. This poster will outline the history of decisions to rely on geologic disposal for high-level nuclear wastes, outline the varied waste forms, and discuss the variety of geologic media being considered and the stages of development of selected national programs.

A continuing concern with this application is the potential release of trace elements from the fly ash when it is placed in contact with AMD. To investigate the possible release of antimony, arsenic, barium, boron, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lead, nickel, selenium, and zinc from fly ash, a series of column leaching tests were conducted. A one kg fly ash sample, placed in a 5-cm by 1 m acrylic columns, was leached at a nominal rate of 250 mL/d for between 30 and 60 days. The leachant solutions were deionized water, and dilute solutions of sulfuric acid and ferric chloride. Leaching tests have been completed on 28 fly ash samples. Leachate data, analyzed as the mass extracted with respect to the concentration in the solid, indicate that the release of trace elements is variable, with only barium and zinc extracted at greater than 50 pct of the amount present in the original sample. As a comparison, water quality changes have been monitored at three sites where fly ash grout was injected after reclamation to control AMD. When compared before and after grouting, small increases in pH and decreases in acidity at discharge points were observed. Concentrations of trace metals were found to be comparable in treated and untreated areas. When grouted and ungrouted areas were compared, the effect of the fly ash was shown to be localized in the areas of injection. These studies indicated that when fly ash is used as a reagent to control of AMD, the release of trace elements is relatively small.

S. Department of Energy projects involving the use of coal combustion byproducts in mining applications AN - 52214989; 2001-047922 AB - The onset of utility deregulation now makes it apparent that coal combustion by-product (CCB) utilization is one key area that may help utilities better manage their available resources. Because current utilization rates of CCB's are relatively low, the United States Department of Energy is actively co-sponsoring a variety of CCB utilization projects, along with projects that seek to characterize the by-products resulting from newly-developed technologies for coal combustion, gasification, or flue gas cleanup. Mining applications represent a potential high-volume market for CCB's, with beneficial uses that include the prevention or control of acid mine drainage, surface subsidence over underground mines, and reclamation of acidic surface mine spoils. Future applications may include the development of CCB-based construction materials for use in mining and the selective backfilling of CCB's to increase underground coal mine extraction rates. The goal of these projects is to demonstrate that CCB's are of significant value when used in mining applications, and that CCB utilization in mines represents more than just a cheaper alternative to landfill disposal.

The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has developed the TPA code to quantitatively evaluate the soundness of the safety case that could be made by the DOE in its potential License Application for the proposed Yucca Mountain, Nevada, repository. The TPA code is designed to estimate total-system performance measures of annual individual dose or risk and is developed through iterative performance assessment activities. The code is designed to simulate the behavior of the geologic repository, taking into account the essential characteristics of the natural and engineered barrier systems, as well as changes in knowledge about the geologic setting and design. A combination of an executive driver, a set of consequence modules, and a library of utility modules form the TPA code. The executive driver controls the probabilistic sampling of input parameters, the sequence of calculations and data transfers among the consequence modules, and the generation of output files. Consequence models simulate physical processes and events such as unsaturated zone infiltration, evolution of the near-field thermal-hydrologic environment, failure of waste packages, dissolution and release of waste, transport of waste in the groundwater system, extraction of groundwater, and consumption of groundwater which, if contaminated, could expose future populations to radiation. The TPA code is designed to calculate the effects of disruptive events such as faulting, seismicity, and volcanism. The various output files are used in parameter, process-level, and system-level sensitivity and uncertainty analyses. Sensitivity and uncertainty analyses have been conducted to: (i) determine the parameters that have the most influence on repository performance; (ii) estimate the relative importance of the different model abstractions; (iii) focus NRC staff reviews of the DOE TSPAs; and (iv) continue improving NRC staff capabilities in performance assessment (NUREG-1688, Vol. 2, NRC, 1999).

Within the basin, the framework of the model develops as the relationships between recharge (sinking streams and sinkholes), transfer mechanisms (conduits), and discharge points (springs) are revealed. Several investigative methods are used, including rigorous qualitative dye tracing, and intensive monitoring of physical and chemical properties of the groundwater during storm-pulse activity. The combination of these techniques may reveal details that could be missed if only one method were used. Three basin-scale conceptual models were developed at Mammoth Cave National Park. Methods used were largely dictated by access points to the active conduits within aquifer.

Its short-term goals is to enable greater efficiency and sustainability in the extraction of heat energy from commercial hydrothermal fields. Its long-term goal is greater utilization of the vast geothermal resource base in the U.S. and worldwide to offset the environmental hazards associated with other forms of energy. The EGS strategy includes close cooperation with industry to plan and execute research to overcome the technical barriers that prevent the recovery of increased quantities of geothermal energy. To this end, EGS research is ongoing under a preexisting DOE solicitation, and DOE is planning to issue another solicitation late in fiscal year 1999 for additional EGS research. Laboratory and field experiments are anticipated to continue in fiscal year 2000, and will focus on cost-effective methods to: 1) convert dry holes for use as injectors or producers, and connect these holes to the permeable reservoir; and 2) increase the rate of injection to sustain fluid-depleted reservoirs. By 2004, five prospective EGS sites will be selected and projects initiated. By 2008, a demonstration project at an EGS site will be completed and begin a two year period of operation. It is likely (although not required) that the demonstration project will be located on the periphery of a hydrothermal field and support production to an existing plant.

Currently, about 85 percent of U.S. energy mix is derived from fossil fuels, and continued reliance on coal, oil, and natural gas for electricity generation, transportation, and building systems is forecast well into the next century. Carbon sequestation will enable the continued use of fossil fuels in energy systems without (or with reduced) atmospheric emissions of CO (sub 2) . Sequestration includes capturing CO (sub 2) gas from combustion flue gas and other point sources and sequestering it, as well as reducing atmospheric concentrations by enhancing the uptake of CO (sub 2) through natural sinks (e.g. forests, oceans, microorganisms). Moreover, there are economic and environmental limits on the alternatives of nuclear and renewable-based energy technologies. Therefore, it is prudent and sensible to invest today in carbon-sequestration R&D to enable the continued use of fossil fuels in a carbon-constrained economy. There is a growing acceptance within industry, academia, and the general public that carbon-emission-free energy systems transportation systems, and industrial processes may be necessary. That is, it is accepted that efficiency improvements, use of alternative energy sources, and other incremental changes are not sufficient to stabilize the concentration of CO (sub 2) in the atmosphere. Carbon-sequestration R&D is needed so that the actions required to reduce carbon emissions in the future can be executed with minimal impact on the economy.

In addition, the United States government supported the development of nuclear energy for commercial applications and conducted research in high-energy physics and other basic sciences, as well as medical diagnostics and treatment. These activities required the use of a vast array of facilities that included mines, mills, chemical plants, metal machining plants, maintenance shops, research laboratories, nuclear reactors, and test sites. Beginning in the 1940s, activities were conducted by and for the United States Department of Energy (DOE) and its predecessor agencies (the Atomic Energy Commission and Energy Research and Development Administration) at over 100 sites across 30 states and territories. While DOE owns the major sites, several small sites are owned by others - including universities, private industry, and members of the public. The individual sites range from a single building on a small plot of land to hundreds of structures on more than 3,500 square kilometers of land. All are contaminated to some degree. The DOE mission changed markedly with the end of the Cold War in the 1980s. In addition to ongoing energy programs and other basic research, taking care of the waste legacy from past defense-related activities became a primary focus. Ten years ago, the Department established a formal environmental management program to clean up and restore its contaminated properties for other productive use. A number of facilities have been shut down, weapons are being dismantled, and a massive cleanup program is well under way at sites across the country.

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers and derivatives of p,p -DDT were identified in all samples. Aldrin, dieldrin, endrin and heptachlor could not be detected in any of the samples. The high concentrations of HCH, DDT and HCB suggested that these compounds were continuing to be used. The highest concentrations corresponded to the estuary of the Ca Long river. In clams, levels of DDT and PCB were generally higher than those of the other chlorinated hydrocarbons studied.

These motivations affect whether anglers keep all, some or one of the fish that they catch. In this paper information about anglers' actual catch and release behaviour is explored and combined with information about their stated preferences for changes in bag limits. Using data collected by the NMFS = Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistical Survey in the Northeastern United States in 1994, anglers' willingness to pay for more lenient bag limits is estimated and used to evaluate the benefits of proposed changes to those limits. Striped bass present an interesting case study; striped bass are thought to be good fish for eating, and are considered a good small game fish, but anglers tend to catch few, if any of them on any given trip. The evaluation of anglers' revealed preferences for keeping these striped bass, combined with their stated preferences for higher bag limits, can offer fisheries managers useful information about the net benefits of these regulations.

A total of 46 taxa from five phyla were collected with diver-held bottom corers. Polychaetes were numerically dominant followed by crustaceans. Seventeen taxa co-occurred in samples during all three study periods. Maximum animal densities and taxa richness showed no statistically significant bay-wide seasonal pattern, however, a bay-wide trend was detected where these response parameters tended to be greater in April than December or October. Deeper upper bay stations were depauperate during December and October. Low dissolved oxygen (DO) largely explained the depauperate pattern. Mean taxa richness per core (10 cm dia.) ranged from 0.0 to 5.0, 1.2 to 4.6, and 0.0 to 4.4 in December, April and October, respectively. Mean densities ranged from zero to 368, 0 to 960, and 0 to 430 individuals per 0.1 m super(2) in December, April, and October, respectively. Results of a three-season statistical regression model indicated that DO deficiency was a primary determinant of taxa richness (partial R super(2): 0.27) but was less important in explaining animal densities (partial R super(2):0.16). For December, when additional environmental variables were measured, DO was supplanted by weight loss on ignition (R super(2): 0.24) and the sediment C:N ratio (R super(2): 0.44) as highest explanatory factors for taxa richness and density, respectively. Application of a benthic index of environmental condition indicated wide-spread ecological stress on the benthic macroinfaunal assemblages.

These economies are expected to double gross domestic product (GDP) in the next decade, and coal will play a major role as the primary energy source for electric power. The tremendous projected financial burden associated with the installation of new, coal-fired electric power facilities to fuel this unprecedented economic growth has focused efforts to identify existing and new sources of financing for major thermal power projects that are efficient and environmentally responsible. The economics are trying to accelerate economic development and promote the leveraging of in-country resources to meet their electric power objectives. With the growth in power production will come more greenhouse gas emissions and negative environmental impacts. The means to reducing these impacts is clean coal technology, which is becoming more and more accepted for debt financing. Competition for debt financing is becoming tighter worldwide, with increased use of project financing. Representatives of the coal technology and equipment industries believe that the availability of non-recourse financing is an impediment to greater penetration of clean coal technology into electric power markets in Asian Pacific economies. Better use of existing infrastructure project financing instruments and management of risk in Asian markets are critical to the development and acceptance of clean coal technology to meet greenhouse gas abatement and economic goals.

These radionuclides were also determined in some plant samples of Lycopodium cernuum L. growing on trees on these sites. The activity concentrations of the radionuclides in the soils at the top of the mountains were higher than those on the slopes. At one of the sites, the activity concentrations of super(137)Cs, super(134)Cs and super(90)Sr were 4933, 139 and 194 Bq/kg dry weight, respectively, the super(137)Cs concentration corresponding to about 400 times that on the slope. The difference in the activity concentrations between the tops and the slopes of the mountains could be attributed to the direct contact between the Chernobyl radioactive clouds and the tops of these mountains.

Performance of medical fluoroscopic X ray systems in Greece AN - 17216873; 4494483 AB - The results from a survey in 297 (46 % of the total) fluoroscopic X ray facilities in the private sector in Greece are presented. Certain fluoroscopic parameters for under-table tube and remote control over-table tube fluoroscopic systems have been evaluated, according to a specific quality control protocol and compared with acceptance limits. The results show that the overall performance of the fluoroscopic systems is below optimal, since only 55.5% of the fluoroscopic systems performed satisfactorily and in compliance with the radiation protection regulations. Remote control over-table tube fluoroscopic systems had much better performance characteristics than under-table tube systems, with respect to patient dose and image quality. A system of routine servicing as well as implementation of quality control on a regular basis are believed substantially to reduce variation from the normal performance and system malfunctioning.

Performance of medical radiographic X ray systems in Greece AN - 17216053; 4494482 AB - This is the first of two papers on the assessment of medical conventional radiological X ray systems at the private sector in Greece. This paper presents the quality control results of radiographic X ray systems, while the quality control results of fluoroscopic X ray systems will be presented in a forthcoming paper. A total number of 387 privately owned (48% of the total installed in Greece) radiographic X ray facilities were surveyed during the period 1995 - 1997. Certain important radiographic parameters have been assessed according to a quality control protocol and the measured parameter values are compared to the relevant acceptance limits. The results show that the overall performance of the radiographic X ray systems is below optimal since only 36% of them have satisfactory performance in full compliance with the radiation protection regulations. The X ray systems installed recently, show better performance than those operating for some years. This can be attributed to the recent calibration and the performance of acceptance tests and quality control. Routine servicing as well as implementation of quality control on a regular basis will, it is believed, substantially improve the performance and reduce malfunctioning of the X ray systems.

The activity concentrations, Ra equivalent activities, representative level index values for all samples and the effective dose equivalents due to the intake of the above-mentioned radionuclides in limestone and powdered lime by the adult group were estimated. The mean activity concentrations of super(232)Th, super(226)Ra and super(40)K were 60.8, 60.2 and 928 Bq kg super(-1), respectively for limestone, 107, 68.0 and 1660 Bq kg super(-1), respectively, for powdered lime and 83.0, 31.0 and 972 Bq kg super(-1), respectively, for by-product lime. For cement, the mean activity concentrations of super(232)Th, super(226)Ra and super(40)K were observed to be 54.3, 29.7 and 523 Bq kg super(-1), respectively. The presence of super(137)Cs was not detectable in any of the studied samples. The measured average activities of super(232)Th, super(226)Ra and super(40)K for all samples were relatively higher than the world typical values except for super(226)Ra in cement and by-product lime. The calculated mean Ra equivalent values for limestone, powdered lime, by-product lime and cement were 219, 349, 224 and 148 Bq kg super(-1), respectively. The corresponding representative level index values were found to be 1.63, 2.63, 1.68 and 1.09, respectively. The mean effective dose equivalent values of super(232)Th, super(226)Ra and super(40)K for limestone were 56.5 x 10 super(-7), 41.6 x 10 super(-8) and 50.8 x 10 super(-10) Sv g super(-1), respectively, and those for powdered lime were 99.5 x 10 super(-7), 46.9 x 10 super(-8) and 91.3 x 10 super(-10) Sv g super(-1), respectively.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) has been conducting geologic and hydrologic studies of the potential repository site for the DOE. These studies are to quantify the geologic and hydrologic characteristics of Yucca Mountain and to conceptualize and model gas and liquid flow at the potential repository site. Single-hole and cross-hole air-injection and tracer testing was conducted in alcoves located in the underground Exploratory Studies Facility (ESF) to quantify the permeability and porosity values of the fractured and unfractured volcanic rocks (tuff). The permeability and porosity of these tuffs control the movement of fluids in Yucca Mountain. Study of these parameters provides an understanding of fluid flow in the unsaturated zone, and the parameters can be used in unsaturated- zone numerical modeling to estimate fluid flux through the mountain. This report presents the results from air-injection and tracer testing conducted in the upper Tiva Canyon alcove (UTCA), the Bow Ridge Fault alcove (BRFA), and the upper Paintbrush contact alcove (UPCA) by the USGS from August 1994 through July 1996. The locations of the alcoves and their relations to the potential repository are shown in a figure.

This pumping test was conducted as part of investigations to determine the suitability of Yucca Mountain as a potential site for the storage of high-level nuclear waste in a mined geologic repository. During the test, borehole UE-25 c(number-sign)3 was pumped for 10 days at an average rate of 17.9 liters per second. Drawdown in 6 observation wells completed in Miocene tuffaceous rocks 29.0--3,525.6 meters from the pumping well ranged from 0 to 0.42 meters 14,000 minutes after pumping started. The spatial distribution of this drawdown indicates that a northwest-trending zone of discontinuous faults might be affecting ground-water movement in the Miocene tuffaceous rocks near the C-holes. No drawdown was observed in a borehole completed in a regional Paleozoic carbonate aquifer 630.0 meters from the pumping well. Consequently, it could not be determined during the pumping test if the Miocene tuffaceous rocks are connected hydraulically to the regional aquifer. Analyses of drawdown and recovery indicate that the Miocene tuffaceous rocks in the vicinity of the C-holes have transmissivity values of 1,600--3,200 meters squared per day, horizontal hydraulic conductivity values of 6.5--13 meters per day, vertical hydraulic conductivity values of 0.2--1.7 meters per day, storativity values of 0.001--0.003, and specific yield values of 0.01--0.2.

Topical report, April 12, 1996--May 11, 1998 AN - 18163187; 4467147 AB - Under this FETC-funded program, Biopraxis proposed to demonstrate the feasibility of using its new MOP-UP technology for in situ treatment of metal- contaminated groundwater. Instead of optimizing the technology to demonstrate the feasibility of its use at a single site, the final series of tests were designed to showcase the breadth and flexibility of the MOP-UP technology by demonstrating its capabilities in as many different groundwater environments as possible. Sites that were contaminated with metal pollutants of wide-spread concern to DOE were located; and MOP-UP reagents were screened for their ability to treat any or all of these metals--without any attempt to optimize the technology for use with the new target metals and/or for treating these metals under the diverse conditions found at the sites. Groundwater samples exhibiting a wide range of environments were generously provided by DoD, EPA, and private industry as well as DOE for use in these treatability tests. The tests showed that MOP-UP can readily remove all detectable traces of a wide variety of metals, such as Hg, Pb, Cd, Cu, Cr(VI), As, Ba, Zn, and Al, and take U into the low parts per trillions, in heavily polluted groundwater, with little or no effort needed to optimize the reagent formulation. The second goal of the program was to show that the in situ groundwater MOP-UP technology will either be more cost effective than conventional technologies while achieving the same degree of groundwater purification, or be at least as cost effective as conventional technologies while offering superior performance. MOP-UP far surpassed the goals established for this initial feasibility demonstration. This new technology promises to be extremely effective and very economical whether used in a permeable barrier for treating shallow plumes, or a direct injection or pump-and-treat configuration for treating deep-subsurface plumes of heavy metal, radionuclide, or mixed contamination.

In 1993, due to a water shortage on the Rocky Boy Reservation, the Chippewa-Cree Council began negotiating water rights with the State of Montana in order to construct a pipeline that would pump water from an off-reservation source to reservation homes. The proposed plan is to pipe water from the Tiber Dam, located approximately 53 miles west, to the Rocky Boy Indian Reservation for treatment and distribution. The purpose of this internship was to initiate a ground water investigation on the Rocky Boy Reservation by writing a report and submitting it to the Tribe. The intern undertook this project because he felt there was no need for an expensive pipeline and from familiarity with the Reservation, thought a dependable supply of drinking water may already exist on the Reservation. The intern obtained topographic maps from the USGS, requested well logs, conducted a literature survey, and requested planimetric maps from the Montana Bureau of Mines. The preliminary ground water report has been completed, but final results of the investigation are dependent upon the review by the Rocky Boy Tribal Council. This intern report contains biographical data on the intern and his mentor, as well as the completed preliminary report submitted to the Tribal Council.

Final report AN - 18160914; 4467762 AB - The overall goal of this program has involved developing basic understandings of the mechanisms controlling the presence of colloidal phases in groundwaters. The presence of colloids in groundwater is extremely important in that they may enable the subsurface transport of otherwise immobile pollutants like plutonium or PCBs. The major findings of this work have included: (1) Sampling groundwaters must be performed with great care in order to avoid false positives; (2) Much of the colloidal load moving below ground derives from the aquifer solids themselves; and (3) The detachment of colloids from the aquifer solids occurs in response to changes in the groundwater solution chemistry.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Hydrogeologic analysis of remedial alternatives for the solar ponds plume, RFETS AN - 18157357; 4466612 AB - The focus of this paper is to develop a conceptual model and a hydrogeologic analysis plan for remedial alternatives being considered for the remediation of a ground water contaminant plume consisting of chiefly nitrate and uranium. The initial step in this process was to determine the adequacy of the existing data from the vast database of site information. Upon concluding that the existing database was sufficient to allow for the development of a conceptual model and then constructing the conceptual model, a hydrogeologic analysis plan was developed to evaluate several alternatives for plume remediation. The plan will be implemented using a combination of analytical and simple numerical ground water flow and contaminant transport models. This allows each portion of the study to be addressed using the appropriate tool, without having to develop a large three-dimensional numerical ground water flow and transport model, thereby reducing project costs. The analysis plan will consist of a preliminary phase of screening analyses for each of the remedial alternative scenarios, and a second phase of more comprehensive and in-depth analyses on a selected subset of remedial alternative scenarios. One of the alternatives which will be analyzed is phytoremediation (remediation of soil and ground water via uptake of chemicals by plants) because of the potential for relatively low capital and operation and maintenance costs, passive nature, and potential to provide long-term protection of the surface water. The results of these hydrogeological analyses will be factored into the selection of the preferred remedial alternative, or combination of alternatives, for the contaminant plume.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-03-24 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Alternative oxidation technologies for organic mixed waste AN - 17664045; 4467827 AB - The Mixed Waste Focus Area (MWFA) is currently supporting the development and demonstration of several alternative oxidation technology (AOT) processes for treatment of combustible mixed low- level wastes. AOTs have been defined as technologies that destroy organic material without using open-flame reactions. AOTs include both thermal and nonthermal processes that oxidize organic wastes but operate under significantly different physical and chemical conditions than incinerators. Nonthermal processes currently being studied include Delphi DETOX and acid digestion at the Savannah River Site (SRS), and direct chemical oxidation at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). All three technologies are at advanced stages of development or are entering the demonstration phase. Nonflame thermal processes include catalytic chemical oxidation, which is being developed and deployed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), and steam reforming, a commercial process being supported by the Department of Energy (DOE). Although testing is complete on some AOT technologies, most require additional support to complete some or all of the identified development objectives. Brief descriptions, status, and planned paths forward for each of the technologies are presented.

(WSRC) contracted GTS Duratek (Duratek) to construct and operate the first commercial vitrification facility to treat an F-006 mixed (radioactive /hazardous) waste in the United States. The permits were prepared and submitted to the South Carolina state regulators by WSRC based on a detailed design by Duratek. Readiness Assessments were conducted by WSRC and Duratek at each major phase of the operation (sludge transfer, construction, cold and radioactive operations, and a major restart) and approved by the Savannah River Department of Energy prior to proceeding. WSRC prepared the first 'Upfront Delisting' petition for a vitrified mixed waste. Lessons learned with respect to the permit strategy, operational assessments, and delisting from this 'privatization' project are discussed.

The potentiometric surface was required for conceptualization of the ground-water flow system and for construction of a numerical model to aid in the regional characterization for the Yucca Mountain repository. Because accurate, manual extrapolation of potentiometric levels over large distances is difficult, a geographic-information- system method was developed to incorporate available data and apply hydrogeologic rules during contour construction. Altitudes of lakes, springs, and wetlands, interpreted as areas where the potentiometric surface intercepts the land surface, were combined with water levels from well data. Because interpreted ground-water recharge and discharge areas commonly coincide with groundwater basin boundaries, these areas also were used to constrain a gridding algorithm and to appropriately place local maxima and minima in the potentiometric-surface map. The resulting initial potentiometric surface was examined to define areas where the algorithm incorrectly extrapolated the potentiometric surface above the land surface. A map of low-permeability rocks overlaid on the potentiometric surface also indicated areas that required editing based on hydrogeologic reasoning. An interactive editor was used to adjust generated contours to better represent the natural water table conditions, such as large hydraulic gradients and troughs, or 'vees'. The resulting estimated potentiometric-surface map agreed well with previously constructed maps. Potentiometric- surface characteristics including potentiometric- surface mounds and depressions, surface troughs, and large hydraulic gradients were described.

N1 - Last updated - 2014-05-06 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Fossil fuel decarbonization technology for mitigating global warming AN - 17662132; 4467826 AB - It has been understood that production of hydrogen from fossil and carbonaceous fuels with reduced CO(sub 2) emission to the atmosphere is key to the production of hydrogen-rich fuels for mitigating the CO(sub 2) greenhouse gas climate change problem. The conventional methods of hydrogen production from fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas and biomass) include steam reforming and water gas shift mainly of natural gas (SRM). In order to suppress CO(sub 2) emission from the steam reforming process, CO(sub 2) must be concentrated and sequestered either in or under the ocean or underground (in aquifers, or depleted oil or gas wells). Up to about 40% of the energy is lost in this process. An alternative process is the pyrolysis or the thermal decomposition of methane, natural gas (TDM) to hydrogen and carbon. The carbon can either be sequestered or sold on the market as a materials commodity or used as a fuel at a later date under less severe CO(sub 2) restraints. The energy sequestered in the carbon amounts to about 42% of the energy in the natural gas resource which is stored and not destroyed. A comparison is made between the well developed conventional SRM and the less developed TDM process including technological status, efficiency, carbon management and cost. The TDM process appears to have advantages over the well developed SRM process. It is much easier to sequester carbon as a stable solid than CO(sub 2) as a reactive gas or low temperature liquid. It is also possible to reduce cost by marketing the carbon as a filler or construction material. The potential benefits of the TDM process justifies its further efficient development. The hydrogen can be used as a transportation fuel or converted to methanol by reaction with CO(sub 2) from fossil fuel fired power plant stack gases, thus allowing reuse of the carbon in conventional IC automobile engines or in advanced fuel cell vehicles.

This paper evaluates the legality, technical feasibility, economics, and human health risk of disposing of NORM- contaminated oil field wastes in salt caverns. Cavern disposal of NORM waste is technically feasible and poses a very low human health risk. From a legal perspective, there are no fatal flaws that would prevent a state regulatory agency from approaching cavern disposal of NORM. On the basis of the costs charged by caverns currently used for disposal of nonhazardous oil field waste (NOW), NORM waste disposal caverns could be cost competitive with existing NORM waste disposal methods when regulatory agencies approve the practice.

The Polymer Filtration (PF) System--a process that is easily operated and robust--offers metal-finishing businesses a convenient and inexpensive way to recover and recycle metal ions in-house, thus reducing materials costs, waste removal costs, and industrial liability. As a valuable economic and environmental asset, the PF System has been named a winner of a 1995 R and D 100 Award. These awards are presented annually by R and D Magazine to the one hundred most significant technical innovations of the year. The PF System is based on the use of water-soluble metal-binding polymers and on advanced ultrafiltration membranes. Customers for this technology will receive new soluble polymers, especially formulated for their waste stream, and the complete PF processing unit: a reaction reservoir, pumps, plumbing, controls, and the advanced ultrafiltration membranes, all in a skid mounted frame. Metal-bearing waste water is treated in the reaction reservoir, where the polymer binds with the metal ions under balanced acid /base conditions. The reservoir fluid is then pumped through the ultrafiltration system--a cartridge packed with ultrafiltration membranes shaped in hollow fibers. As the fluid travels inside the fiber, water and other small molecules- -simple salts such as calcium and sodium, for examplepass through the porous membrane walls of the fibers and are discharged through the outlet as permeate. The polymer-bound metal, which is too large to pass through the pores, is both purified and concentrated inside the hollow fibers and is returned to the fluid reservoir for further waste water treatment.

Evaluating the importance of global and regional climate response to increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases requires a comprehensive global atmospheric modeling system (GAMS) capable of simulations over a wide range of atmospheric circulations, from complex terrain to continental scales, on high- performance computers. Unfortunately, all of the existing global circulation models (GCMs) do not meet this requirements, because they suffer from one or more of the following three shortcomings: (1) use of the hydrostatic approximation, which makes the models potentially ill-posed; (2) lack of a nested-grid (or multi-grid) capability, which makes it difficult to consistently evaluate the regional climate response to the global warming, and (3) spherical spectral (opposed to grid-point finite-difference) representation of model variables, which hinders model performance for parallel machine applications. The end product of the research is a highly modularized, multi- gridded, self-calibratable (for further parameterization development) global modeling system with state-of-the-science physics and chemistry. This system will be suitable for a suite of atmospheric problems: from local circulations to climate, from thunderstorms to global cloud radiative forcing, from urban pollution to global greenhouse trace gases, and from the guiding of field experiments to coupling with ocean models. It will also provide a unique testbed for high-performance computing architecture.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Measured impacts of high efficiency domestic clothes washers in a community AN - 17582254; 4467513 AB - The US market for domestic clothes washers is currently dominated by conventional vertical-axis washers that typically require approximately 40 gallons of water for each wash load. The current market is growing slowly as manufacturers make machines based on tumble action, horizontal-axis designs are available and as information about the performance and benefits of such machines is developed and made available to consumers. To help build awareness of these benefits and to accelerate markets for high efficiency washers, the Department of Energy (DOE), under its ENERGY STAR(reg-sign) Program and in cooperation with a major manufacturers of high efficiency washers, conducted a field evaluation of high efficiency washers using Bern, Kansas as a test bed. Baseline washing machine performance data as well as consumer washing behavior were obtained from data collected on the existing machines of more than 100 participants in this instrumented study. Following a 2-month initial study period, all conventional machines were replaced by high efficiency, tumble-action washers, and the study continued for 3 months. Based on measured data from over 20,000 loads of laundry, the impact of the washer replacement on (1) individual customers' energy and water consumption, (2) customers' laundry habits and perceptions, and (3) the community's water supply and waste water systems were determined. The study, its findings, and how information from the experiment was used to improve national awareness of high efficiency clothes washer benefits are described in this paper.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Disposal of NORM waste in salt caverns AN - 17580840; 4466668 AB - Some types of oil and gas production and processing wastes contain naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM). If NORM is present at concentrations above regulatory levels in oil field waste, the waste requires special disposal practices. The existing disposal options for wastes containing NORM are limited and costly. This paper evaluates the legality, technical feasibility, economics, and human health risk of disposing of NORM-contaminated oil field wastes in salt caverns. Cavern disposal of NORM waste is technically feasible and poses a very low human health risk. From a legal perspective, there are no fatal flaws that would prevent a state regulatory agency from approving cavern disposal of NORM. On the basis of the costs charged by caverns currently used for disposal of nonhazardous oil field waste (NOW), NORM waste disposal caverns could be cost competitive with existing NORM waste disposal methods when regulatory agencies approve the practice.

RADMAPS provides field personnel with the ability to detect, locate, and characterize nuclear material at a site or facility by analyzing the gamma or neutron spectra and correlating them with position. the man- portable field unit records gamma or neutron count rate information and its location, along with date and time, using an embedded Global Positioning System (GPS). RADMAPS is an advancement in data fusion, integrating several off-the-shelf technologies with new computer software resulting in a system that is simple to deploy and provides information useful to field personnel in an easily understandable form. Decisions on subsequent actions can be made in the field to efficiently use available field resources. The technologies employed in this system include: recording GPS, radiation detection (typically scintillation detectors), pulse height analysis, analog-to- digital converters, removable solid-state (Flash or SRAM) memory cards, Geographic Information System (GIS) software and personal computers with CD-ROM supporting digital base maps. RADMAPS includes several field deployable data acquisition systems designed to simultaneously record radiation and geographic positions. This paper summarizes the capabilities of RADMAPS and some of the results of field tests performed with the system.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Mixed Waste Focus Area alternative oxidation technologies development and demonstration program AN - 16131044; 4467143 AB - The Mixed Waste Focus Area (MWFA) is currently supporting the development and demonstration of several alternative oxidation technology (AOT) processes for treatment of combustible mixed low- level wastes. The impetus for this support derives from regulatory and political hurdles frequently encountered by traditional thermal techniques, primarily incinerators. AOTs have been defined as technologies that destroy organic material without using open-flame reactions. Whether thermal or nonthermal, the processes have the potential advantages of relatively low-volume gaseous emissions, generation of few or no dioxin/furan compounds, and operation at low enough temperatures that metals (except mercury) and most radionuclides are not volatilized. Technology development and demonstration are needed to confirm and realize the potential of AOTs and to compare them on an equal basis with their fully demonstrated thermal counterparts. AOTs include both thermal and nonthermal processes that oxidize organic wastes but operate under significantly different physical and chemical conditions than incinerators. Nonthermal processes currently being studied include Delphi DETOX and acid digestion at the Savannah River Site, and direct chemical oxidation at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. All three technologies are at advanced stages of development or are entering the demonstration phase. Nonflame thermal processes include catalytic chemical oxidation, which is being developed and deployed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and team reforming, a commercial process being supported by Department of Energy. Related technologies include two low- flow, secondary oxidation processes (Phoenix and Thermatrix units) that have been tested at MSE, Inc., in Butte, Montana. Although testing is complete on some AOT technologies, most require additional support to complete some or all of the identified development objectives.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-03-24 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Effect of biphosphonates on abnormal mandibular growth of rats intoxicated with uranium. AN - 70084629; 9827507 AB - Intoxication with uranium induces severe alterations in kidneys and in acute intoxications inhibits bone formation and bone growth. Administered at high doses, uranium leads to death, an event that can be prevented by the administration of ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1 biphosphonate (EHBP), which would presumably exert its effect via its chelating properties. Based on this information, the aim of the present study was to determine the best therapeutic method for treatment using biphosphonates to prevent mandibular growth alterations in animals that survive uranyl nitrate poisoning. Seven groups of Wistar rats weighing 14 g were used as follows: I, untreated control; II, one intraperitoneal injection (IPI) of 2 mg Kg(-1) of body weight of uranyl nitrate (238U). In groups III to VII animals were intoxicated as in Group II and in addition were given a single injection of 10 mg Kg(-1) of ethane-1-hydroxy-1, 1-biphosphonate (EHBP), or 3-amine-1, 1-hydroxypropylene-1, 1 biphosphonate (APD) as follows; Group III, IPI of EHBP given immediately after poisoning (0 h); IV, IPI of EHBP given at 24 h; V, subcutaneous injection (SCI) of EHBP at 0 h; VI, SCI of EHBP at 48 h; VII SCI of APD at 0 h. Survivors were killed on the sixtieth day. Body weight increase, survival rate, and biometric parameters of mandibular growth (Eratalay's method) were studied. Student's "t" test was used for statistical analysis. On day 60 there was only one survivor in Group II and none in Group IV. All animals in the other groups survived. Mandibular growth parameters showed the worst results in Group VII and the best in Group V for which no difference with the controls was observed. These results show that a single subcutaneous injection of EHBP given immediately after uranium poisoning, apart from preventing death, is capable of preventing undesirable alterations in mandibular growth.

AN - 69149408; 9915643 AB - Radioactive materials have been used in Ghana for more than four decades. Radioactive waste generated from their applications in various fields has been managed without adequate infrastructure and any legal framework to control and regulate them. The expanded use of nuclear facilities and radiation sources in Ghana with the concomitant exposure to human population necessitates effective infrastructure to deal with the increasing problems of waste. The Ghana Atomic Energy Act 204 (1963) and the Radiation Protection Instrument LI 1559 (1993) made inadequate provision for the management of waste. With the amendment of the Atomic Energy Act, PNDCL 308, a radioactive waste management centre has been established to take care of all waste in the country. To achieve the set objectives for an effective waste management regime, a waste management regulation has been drafted and relevant codes of practice are being developed to guide generators of waste, operators of waste management facilities and the regulatory authority.

The mid- to distal-caudal region is represented by 20 articulated centra, other disarticulated centra, a single chevron, ossified tendons and fragmentary bone, including poorly preserved neural spines. The skin impressions are preserved in negative and positive relief between two very fine-grained sandstone beds, interpreted as part of a fluvio-lacustrine facies package. The impression surface is directly below the ossified tendons, and 2.5 m from the articulated vertebral column. The skin impressions are six discrete patches characterized by predominantly apical, circular to ovate tubercles. Measurements of the long and short axes of individual tubercles demonstrate that a distribution of relatively homogeneous tubercle sizes occur along the tail section. The tubercles range from 3 to 12 mm and 10 to 16 mm on the short and long axes, respectively. All tubercles examined are ornamented with radiating ridges and grooves that converge at their apex. Presently, the material cannot be identified below the level of Hadrosauridae: however, a comparison of tubercle size, shape and ornamentation described previously from hadrosaur skin impressions indicates the integument morphology of the Ringbone hadrosaur has some similarities to that of the gryposaurs. In general, the complexity of the radial sculpturing, specifically the number of ridges and rugosity, increases with increasing tubercle size. This specific type of ornamentation is not known from modern reptiles or birds: however, the tubercular morphology is similar to that of the lizard Heloderma. Although it is impossible to determine whether the ridges and grooves may have had a physiologic function, these features would increase the surface area of the skin, and therefore may have afforded more efficient heat exchange across the skin, or possibly provided added resistance to tearing and puncturing.

The presence of colloids in groundwater is extremely important in that they may enable the subsurface transport of otherwise immobile pollutants like plutonium or PCBs. The major findings of this work have included: (1) Sampling groundwaters must be performed with great care in order to avoid false positives; (2) Much of the colloidal load moving below ground derives from the aquifer solids themselves; and (3) The detachment of colloids from the aquifer solids occurs in response to changes in the groundwater solution chemistry.

The nonwelded interval of the Paintbrush Group (PTn), which overlies most of the potential repository, has high matrix porosities and permeabilities and is mostly unfractured. The Exploratory Studies Facility (ESF) is a 8-km long, 7.6-m diameter, tunnel excavated beneath Yucca Mountain to the level of the potential repository horizon in order to provide access for characterization of these rocks. Several samples collected within the ESF have measured (super 36) Cl/Cl ratios that record anthropogenic (super 36) Cl (bomb-pulse (super 36) Cl), indicating that at least some fraction of the water has traversed the overlying PTn in 40 years or less and that flow is not confined to the matrix of that unit. The presence of a fast path transmitting bomb-pulse (super 36) Cl to depth appears to require the simultaneous presence of a structure (such as a fault) cutting the PTn and sufficiently high magnitude to surface infiltration to initiate and sustain at least a small component of fracture flow along the connected fracture path associated with the structure. The (super 36) Cl data have been simulated using the flow and transport model FEHM in order to establish bounds on infiltration rates at the site and to provide greater confidence in the understanding of unsaturated flow processes at the site by showing consistency between the observed and simulated data sets.

In 1993, due to a water shortage on the Rocky Boy Reservation, the Chippewa-Cree Council began negotiating water rights with the State of Montana in order to construct a pipeline that would pump water from an off-reservation source to reservation homes. The proposed plan is to pipe water from the Tiber Dam, located approximately 53 miles west, to the Rocky Boy Indian Reservation for treatment and distribution. The purpose of this internship was to initiate a ground water investigation on the Rocky Boy Reservation by writing a report and submitting it to the Tribe. The intern undertook this project because he felt there was no need for an expensive pipeline and from familiarity with the Reservation, thought a dependable supply of drinking water may already exist on the Reservation. The intern obtained topographic maps from the USGS, requested well logs, conducted a literature survey, and requested planimetric maps from the Montana Bureau of Mines. The preliminary ground water report has been completed, but final results of the investigation are dependent upon the review by the Rocky Boy Tribal Council. This intern report contains biographical data on the intern and his mentor, as well as the completed preliminary report submitted to the Tribal Council.

The conventional methods of hydrogen production from fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas and biomass) include steam reforming and water gas shift mainly of natural gas (SRM). In order to suppress CO (sub 2) emission from the steam reforming process, CO (sub 2) must be concentrated and sequestered either in or under the ocean or underground (in aquifers, or depleted oil or gas wells). Up to about 40% of the energy is lost in this process. An alternative process is the pyrolysis or the thermal decomposition of methane, natural gas (TDM) to hydrogen and carbon. The carbon can either be sequestered or sold on the market as a materials commodity or used as a fuel at a later date under less severe CO (sub 2) restraints. The energy sequestered in the carbon amounts to about 42% of the energy in the natural gas resource which is stored and not destroyed. A comparison is made between the well developed conventional SRM and the less developed TDM process including technological status, efficiency, carbon management and cost. The TDM process appears to have advantages over the well developed SRM process. It is much easier to sequester carbon as a stable solid than CO (sub 2) as a reactive gas or low temperature liquid. It is also possible to reduce cost by marketing the carbon as a filler or construction material. The potential benefits of the TDM process justifies its further efficient development. The hydrogen can be used as a transportation fuel or converted to methanol by reaction with CO (sub 2) from fossil fuel fired power plant stack gases, thus allowing reuse of the carbon in conventional IC automobile engines or in advanced fuel cell vehicles.

As stated in the Northwest Plume Record of Decision (ROD), groundwater will be pumped at a rate to reduce further contamination and initiate control of the northwest contaminant plume. The objective of this evaluation was to determine the optimum (minimal) well field pumping rates required for plume hotspot containment. Plume hotspot, as defined in the Northwest Plume ROD and throughout this report, is that portion of the plume with trichloroethene (TCE) concentrations greater than 1,000 (micro)g/L. An existing 3-dimensional groundwater model was modified and used to perform capture zone analyses of the north and south interceptor system well fields. Model results suggest that the plume hotspot is not contained at the system design pumping rate of 100 gallons per minute (gal/min) per well field. Rather, the modeling determined that north and south well field pumping rates of 400 and 150 gal/min, respectively, are necessary for plume hotspot containment. The difference between the design and optimal pumping rates required for containment can be attributed to the discovery of a highly transmissive zone in the vicinity of the two well fields.

Groundwater has been shown to enhance gas generation from emplaced waste forms, which in turn expedites repository pressurization. Repository pressurization from waste-generated gas results in an increased driving force for dissolved radionuclide movement away from the repository. Repository excavation also produces a zone surrounding the repository having disturbed hydrologic and geomechanical properties. Within this disturbed rock zone (DRZ), intrinsic permeability and porosity change over time due to the formation of microfractures and grain boundary dilation. Additionally, elastic and inelastic changes in pore volume, driven by excavation-related stress redistribution, may cause variations in the near-field fluid pressure and fluid saturation distributions that influence groundwater flow toward the repository excavation. Increased permeability, decreased pore-fluid pressure, and partially saturated conditions within the DRZ also contribute to enhancing potential release pathways away from the repository. Freeze et al. describe an enhanced version of TOUGH2 (called TOUGH28W) and its application to model the coupled processes of gas generation, multiphase flow and geomechanical deformation at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) repository. This paper describes a new application of TOUGH28W that couples time-dependent DRZ property changes with multiphase groundwater flow around an underground excavation at WIPP. The results are relevant not only to other salt repositories, but also to repositories in other geologic formations where groundwater inflow and DRZ effects are a concern.

Because photosynthesis rates in co-occurring tree species can differ in their sensitivity to environmental conditions, these changes in species composition are likely to alter the carbon dynamics of temperate forests. To help improve our understanding of such atmosphere-biosphere interactions, we explored changes in leaf-level photosynthesis in a 60-70 yr old temperate mixed-deciduous forest in Petersham, Massachusetts (USA). Diurnally and seasonally varying environmental conditions differentially influenced in situ leaf-level photosynthesis rates in the canopies of four mature temperate deciduous tree species: red oak (Quercus rubra), red maple (Acer rubrum), white birch (Betula papyrifera), and yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis). We measured in situ photosynthesis at two heights within the canopies (top of the canopy at similar to 20 m, and in the sub-canopy of the same individual trees at similar to 14-16 m) through a diurnal time course on 7 d over two growing seasons. We simultaneously measured a suite of environmental conditions surrounding the leaf at the time of each measurement. We used path analysis to examine the influence of environmental factors on in situ photosynthesis in the tree canopies. Overall, red oak had the highest photosynthesis rates, followed by white birch, yellow birch, and red maple. There was little evidence for a substantial midday depression in photosynthesis. Instead, photosynthesis declined throughout the day, particularly after 1600. Diurnal patterns of light reaching canopy leaves, leaf and air temperature, and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) contributed to diurnally varying photosynthesis rates. Large differences in these parameters through the growing season partly led to the seasonal differences observed in photosynthesis rates. Path analyses helped to identify the relative contribution of various environmental factors on photosynthesis and further revealed that species-specific sensitivities to various environmental conditions shifted through the season. Red oak photosynthesis was particularly sensitive to air temperatures late in the season when air temperatures were low. Further, red maple photosynthesis was particularly sensitive to high VPDs through the growing season. Incorporating data on the physiological differences among tree species into forest carbon models will greatly improve our ability to predict alterations to the forest carbon budgets under various environmental scenarios such as global climate change, or with differing species composition.

AN - 70069706; 9830607 AB - There are few studies that examine the overall morbidity of women in industrial settings. Results from a surveillance program of 21,294 female employees of the US Department of Energy for a 12-month period are presented. Illness/absence data of 5 or more workdays were collected from an epidemiologic surveillance program at eight sites. Approximately 11% of the workforce reported an absence of 5 or more workdays in the 12-month period. The five most common disease categories accounted for 70% of all illness or injury absences among female workers. These were respiratory illnesses (22.1%), musculoskeletal disorders (13.2%), injury and poisonings (13.0%), genitourinary illnesses (9.8%), and digestive illnesses (8.8%). Sprains and strains were most frequently attributable to workplace conditions.

These DNA adducts, 4-OHE sub(1)-1-N7Gua and 4-OHE sub(2)-1-N7Gua, are nonfluorescent. To utilize laser-excited fluorescence methods, the catechol estrogen-derived metabolites and adducts were labeled with a fluorescent marker. The 4-OHE sub(i)-1-N7Gua adduct standards (i = 1, 2) and 4-OHE sub(i) metabolites have been derivatized with 1-pyrenesulfonyl chloride and investigated by low-temperature spectroscopy under non-line-narrowing and line-narrowing conditions. Molecular modeling studies assisted in interpretation of the fluorescence spectra; energetically favored structures of the 4-OHE sub(2)-1-N7Gua-dipyrene adduct and 4-OHE sub(2)-dipyrene metabolite reveal unique conformations which, in agreement with fluorescence data, show a significant pi - pi interaction of pyrene labels with guanine and/or the aromatic ring of catechol estrogen. The conformation obtained for the 4-OHE sub(2)-1-N7Gua-dipyrene adduct appears to be conducive to mixing of its pi pi * state with pyrene-guanine charge-transfer states, consistent with the experimentally observed strong electron-phonon coupling. Non-line-narrowed and line-narrowed spectra obtained at 77 and 4.2 K, respectively, are shown to distinguish 4-OHE sub(2)-1-N7Gua-dipyrene adducts from 4-OHE sub(2)-dipyrene metabolites. These standards have subsequently been used for the spectroscopic identification of depurinating DNA adducts formed in a tissue culture experiment where rat mammary gland tissue was treated with the estrogen quinone E sub(2)-3,4-Q. The depurinating adduct formed is 4-OHE sub(2)-1-N7Gua.

This paper presents a tutorial on Bayesian parameter estimation especially relevant to PRA. It summarizes the philosophy behind these methods, approaches for constructing likelihood functions and prior distributions, some simple but realistic examples, and a variety of cautions and lessons regarding practical applications.

AN - 69196907; 10211064 AB - In Ghana's healthcare system there are about 4200 people to each physician. The annual frequency of X-ray examinations during the period 1990 to 1996 ranges from six to 11 per thousand population. Chest radiograph examinations account for 46.5% of the annual frequency. The survey revealed that there are no established acceptance testing procedures for newly installed X-ray equipment. Neither institutional level performance checks following major repairs of faulty equipment, nor routine checks at regular intervals to ensure self-consistency of equipment performance are conducted. The results of the film retake analysis undertaken indicates a need for quality assurance programmes to be taken seriously to avert considerable cost and high patient doses. Radiographers and X-ray-technical officers who physically perform X-ray examinations should receive adequate training in the selection of procedures so as to ensure that doses to patients are as low as reasonably practicable in order to achieve the desired diagnostic objective.

The objective was to explore for uranium and to define its dispersion pattern. This was based on ground radiometric surveys and geological studies. All ground surveys (using radon emanometry, track etching, gamma-ray survey and geochemistry) gave similar results, outlining the locations of the radioactive phosphatic formations in the basin, and indicating the dispersion pattern of uranium in the clastic sediments in the surrounding area. The dispersal of uranium from upper Cretaceous phosphatic formation occurs by mechanical weathering and chemical leaching by oxidizing surface waters. A rough estimate is that about one-third of the original uranium content of the Cretaceous sediments has been dispersed. Mechanical erosion is responsible for the main part of this released uranium, which now occurs in Recent sediments. However, the occurrences of spotty secondary U mineralization indicates that another small part of the available uranium must have been chemically leached out by the prevailing oxidizing waters, forming minor surficial minerals.

Tank closure is not possible unless this residue is removed. As much as 151,000 liters of residue can remain after a conventional waste removal campaign. The waste heels can be comprised of sludge, zeolite, and silica. The heels are generally hardened or compacted insoluble particulate with relatively rapid settling velocities. A PITBULL(trademark) pump is being considered by SRS to retrieve sludge-type waste from Tank 19. Sections 1 through 4 of this report present the scope and objectives of the test program, describe the principles of operation of the PITBULL, and present the test approach, set- up, and instrumentation. Test results, including pumping rates with water and slurry, are provided in Section 5, along with considerations for remote operation. Conclusions and recommendations are provided in Section 6.

The planned retrieval scenario includes the following steps in AN-105: (1) degas the tank using two submerged mixing pumps, (2) turn off the mixer pump(s) and allow any suspended solids to settle, (3) decant the supernatant to the intermediate feed staging tank(s) (IFSTs) (AP-102 and/or AP- 104) using water/caustic dilution at the transfer pump inlet, (4) add the remaining dilution water/caustic to the slurry remaining in AN-105, (5) mix the tank with the mixer pump(s) until the soluble solids dissolve, (6) turn off the mixer pump(s) and let the insoluble solids settle, and (7) decant the new supernatant to the IFST(s), leaving the insoluble solids behind. Three waste retrieval safety issues are addressed in this report. They are (1) the controlled degassing of AN-105 to ensure that the headspace remains < 25% of the lower flammability limit (LFL), (2) an assessment of how dissolved gas (mainly ammonia) released during the transfer of the supernatant in AN-105 to the IFSTs and the water/caustic dilution of the remaining slurry in AN-105 will affect the flammability in these tanks; and (3) an assessment of the maximum waste temperatures that might occur in AN-105 during retrieval operations.

The target of this cleanup is the Polish coal industry, which supplies the fuel to generate over 78% of Poland's primary energy production. This project addresses the problem of airborne dust and uncontrolled particulate emissions from boilerhouses, which represent a large fraction of the total in Poland. In Krakow alone, there are numerous uncontrolled boilers accounting for about half the total fuel use. The large number of low- capacity boilers poses both technical and economic challenges, since the cost of control equipment is a significant factor in the reduction of emissions. A new concept in dust collection, called a Core Separator, is proposed for this important application. The Core Separator is an advanced technology developed through research sponsored by the Department of Energy.

On this mission, EML scientists collected in-situ gamma-ray spectra, measured external gamma dose rates, and collected soil samples. With the exception of plowshare areas and near ground zero, all the areas visited had external dose rates within typical environmental levels.

Cyclic steaming is being used to reestablish baseline production within the reservoir characterization phase of the project. During the demonstration phase scheduled to begin in January 1997, a continuous steamflood enhanced oil recovery will be initiated to test the incremental value of this method as an alternative to cyclic steaming. Other economically marginal Class III reservoirs having similar producibility problems will benefit from insight gained in this project. The objectives of the project are: (1) to return the shut-in portion of the reservoir to optimal commercial production; (2) to accurately describe the reservoir and recovery process; and (3) to convey the details of this activity to the domestic petroleum industry, especially to other producers in California, through an aggressive technology transfer program.

Monitoring consisted of spectral gamma-ray logging of 21 boreholes. This work was performed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in conjunction with Three Rivers Scientific and Waste management Federal Services, inc. Northwest Operations. These three liquid waste disposal facilities were chosen for monitoring because they were identified as containing some of the most significant sources of radioactive contamination in the Hanford Site vadose zone. The basic question addressed by this logging activity is Has the configuration of subsurface contamination changed since it was last measured. Previous borehole logging and laboratory analyses provide the baseline data to help answer this question.

Final technical report, July 1, 1996 - June 30, 1998 AN - 17661147; 4467674 AB - The present report contains the final results obtained during July 1996- July 1998. This report should be considered in association with the Annual Progress Report submitted in July 1997 due to the fact that not all of the intermediate results reflected in the Progress Report have been included in the Final Report. The aim of the project was to build a helical hydraulic turbine prototype and demonstrate its suitability and advantages as a novel apparatus to harness hydropower from ultra low-head rivers and other free water streams such as ocean currents or rivers without dams. The research objectives of the project are: Design, optimization and selection of the hydro foil section for the helical turbine; Design of the turbine for demonstration project; Construction and testing of the turbine module; Assessing test results and determining scale-up feasibility. The research conducted under this project has substantially exceeded the original goals including designing, constructing and testing of a scaled-up triple- helix turbine, as well as developing recommendations for application of the turbine for direct water pumping in irrigation systems and for future use in wind farms. Measurements collected during two years of turbine testing are kept in the PI files.

Contamination is the result of previous waste disposal practices, once considered state- of-the-art. Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) units have been installed to remediate the A/M Area vadose zone. SVE is a proven in-situ method for removing volatile organics from a soil matrix with minimal site disturbance. SVE alleviates the infiltration of contaminants into the groundwater and reduces the total time required for groundwater remediation. Lessons learned and optimization of the SVE units are also discussed.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - COMIS -- an international multizone air-flow and contaminant transport model AN - 17577656; 4467130 AB - A number of interzonal models have been developed to calculate air flows and pollutant transport mechanisms in both single and multizone buildings. A recent development in multizone air- flow modeling, the COMIS model, has a number of capabilities that go beyond previous models, much as COMIS can be used as either a stand-alone air- flow model with input and output features or as an infiltration module for thermal building simulation programs. COMIS was designed during a 12 month workshop at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) in 1988-89. In 1990, the Executive Committee of the International Energy Agency's Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems program created a working group on multizone air-flow modeling, which continued work on COMIS. The group's objectives were to study physical phenomena causing air flow and pollutant (e.g., moisture) transport in multizone buildings, develop numerical modules to be integrated in the previously designed multizone air flow modeling system, and evaluate the computer code. The working group supported by nine nations, officially finished in late 1997 with the release of IISiBat/COMIS 3.0, which contains the documented simulation program COMIS, the user interface IISiBat, and reports describing the evaluation exercise.

The current plan is to dispose of immobilized low-activity tank waste (ILAW) in new facilities in the southcentral part of 200-East Area and in four existing vaults along the east side of 200-East Area. Boreholes 299-E17-21, B8501, and B8502 were drilled at the southwest corner of the ILAW site in support of the Performance Assessment activities for the disposal options. This report summarizes the initial geologic findings, field tests conducted on those boreholes, and ongoing studies. One deep (480 feet) borehole and two shallow (50 feet) boreholes were drilled at the southwest corner of the ILAW site. The primary factor dictating the location of the boreholes was their characterization function with respect to developing the geohydrologic model for the site and satisfying associated Data Quality Objectives. The deep borehole was drilled to characterize subsurface conditions beneath the ILAW site, and two shallow boreholes were drilled to support an ongoing environmental tracer study. The tracer study will supply information to the Performance Assessment. All the boreholes provide data on the vadose zone and saturated zone in a previously uncharacterized area.

The majority of the liquid waste was disposed to the soil column where much of it remains today. This document provides the rationale and general framework for vadose zone monitoring at cribs, ditches, trenches and other disposal facilities to detect new sources of contamination and track the movement of existing contamination in the vadose zone for the protection of groundwater. The document provides guidance for subsequent site-specific vadose zone monitoring plans and includes a brief description of past vadose monitoring activities (Chapter 3); the results of the Data Quality Objective process used for this plan (Chapter 4); a prioritization of liquid waste disposal sites for vadose monitoring (Chapter 5 and Appendix B); a general Monitoring and Analysis Plan (Chapter 6); a general Quality Assurance Project Plan (Appendix A), and a description of vadose monitoring activities planned for FY 1999 (Appendix C).

The original PHC was identified as requiring revision based upon the U. S. Department of Energy interpretations of the requirements for the preparation of facility hazard classification documents. This revised PHC was prepared in accordance with the requirements defined in a letter from the U. S. Department of Energy, Richland Operations Office, on nuclear safety. Per these requirements, the PHC is based on the hazardous material inventories associated with the revised 200-UP-1 project activities currently being conducted. The project no longer consists of treating the groundwater using filtration; instead, the contaminated groundwater is pumped to the 200-West Area Effluent Treatment Facility for treatment and disposal. Based on an unmitigated release of contaminated water while the pumps area operating at maximum capacity for a 24-hour period, the PHC for the 200-UP-1 project was determined to be Industrial. Therefore, the PHC has not changed from the original PHC that was identified in BHI 1996a.

One of the NRC's tasks is to ensure the safety and health of workers and the public from exposure to ionizing radiation from the use of those nuclear materials regulated under the Atomic Energy Act. The task of ensuring safety requires the NRC to take two actions. The first is to determine the risk from exposure to ionizing radiation while the second is to establish the acceptability of the risk. We can refer to these as risk assessment and risk management and they should not be confused. Risk assessment tends to be more objective and scientific while risk management is value laden and strongly affected by societal and ethical views.

Mathematical models that use statistical descriptions of the hydraulic conductivity spatial distribution are available to predict contaminant transport.

More accurate and realistic conceptual models for the actual distribution of hydraulic conductivity, requiring fewer field data, would increase the reliability of contaminant transport predictions while decreasing their cost. The objectives of the project can therefore be summarized in the following question: How can the data requirements for geostatistical analysis of hydraulic parameters be reduced by incorporation of geological expertise and macroscopic proxy information into new mathematical models.

A consequence of this testing has been the deposition of large amounts of radioactive materials in the subsurface, sometimes in direct contact with groundwater. The majority of this testing occurred on the Nevada Test Site, but a limited number of experiments were conducted in other locations. One of these is the subject of this report, the Project Shoal Area (PSA), located about 50 km southeast of Fallon, Nevada. The Shoal test consisted of a 12- kiloton-yield nuclear detonation which occurred on October 26, 1963. Project Shoal was part of studies to enhance seismic detection of underground nuclear tests, in particular, in active earthquake areas. Characterization of groundwater contamination at the Project Shoal Area is being conducted by the US Department of Energy (DOE) under the Federal Facility Agreement and Consent Order (FFACO) with the State of Nevada Department of Environmental Protection and the US Department of Defense (DOD). This order prescribes a Corrective Action Strategy (Appendix VI), which, as applied to underground nuclear tests, involves preparing a Corrective Action Investigation Plan (CAIP), Corrective Action Decision Document (CADD), Corrective Action Plan, and Closure Report. The scope of the CAIP is flow and transport modeling to establish contaminant boundaries that are protective of human health and the environment. This interim report describes the current status of the flow and transport modeling for the PSA.

A significant (P < 0.05) decrease was observed in the values of NDF and ADF (by 6%), CF (by 12%) and a significant increase in the values of IVOMD (by 13%) and IVDE (by 980 kJ/kg DM) as a result of gamma irradiation treatment (100 kGy) in comparison to the control sample. There was no significant difference between doses (100 kGy and 150 kGy). Gamma irradiation had no effect on N, ADL and IVDCP values. Combined treatment (D1 + 100 kGy) resulted in a better effect in reducing the concentrations of CF, NDF and ADF and in increasing the values of IVOMD and IVDE.

Results from this review indicate the two pump-and-treat systems are effectively containing the TCE plume within the upper unconfined aquifer (Vashon Drift). However, mass balance calculations show the existing treatment systems alone will not accomplish the remedial action objective of cleaning up the aquifer to drinking water standards within 30 years as specified in the Record of Decision (ROD). Four areas within the TCE plume have been identified where enhancements could be made to the existing treatment operations. These are: Area 1, the vadose zone source; Area 2, the saturated zone source; Area 3, a containment area down gradient of Areas 1 and 2; and Area 4, the remainder of the plume. This report lists several remedial technologies including new and innovative technologies for these four areas that may help clean up the site to regulatory acceptable levels, shorten the timeframe for cleanup, or significantly reduce currently estimated Installation Restoration program (IRP) life-cycle costs.

A consequence of this testing has been the deposition of large amounts of radioactive materials in the subsurface, sometimes in direct contact with groundwater. The majority of this testing occurred on the Nevada Test Site, but a limited number of experiments were conducted in other locations. One of these is the subject of this report, the Project Shoal Area (PSA), located about 50 km southeast of Fallon, Nevada. The Shoal test consisted of a 12-kiloton-yield nuclear detonation which occurred on October 26, 1963. Project Shoal was part of studies to enhance seismic detection of underground nuclear tests, in particular, in active earthquake areas. Characterization of groundwater contamination at the Project Shoal Area is being conducted by the US Department of Energy (DOE) under the Federal Facility Agreement and Consent Order (FFACO) with the State of Nevada Department of Environmental Protection and the US Department of Defense (DOD). This order prescribes a Corrective Action Strategy (Appendix VI), which, as applied to underground nuclear tests, involves preparing a Corrective Action Investigation Plan (CAIP), Corrective Action Decision Document (CADD), Corrective Action Plan, and Closure Report. The scope of the CAIP is flow and transport modeling to establish contaminant boundaries that are protective of human health and the environment. This interim report describes the current status of the flow and transport modeling for the PSA. JF - DOE/NV (U. S. Department of Energy.

The purpose of the proposed sampling and analysis activity is to investigate the potential for contamination above established action levels. The SAP will provide defensible data of sufficient quality and quantity to support recommendations of whether any further action within the study area is warranted. To assist in preparing sampling plans and reports, the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) has published Guidance on Sampling and Data Analysis Methods. To specifically address sampling plans for petroleum-contaminated sites, Ecology has also published Guidance for Remediation of Petroleum Contaminated Sites. Both documents were used as guidance in preparing this plan. In 1992, a soil sample was taken within the current study area as part of a project to remove two underground storage tanks (USTs) at Battelle's Sixth Street Warehouse Petroleum Dispensing Station (Section 1.3). The results showed that the sample contained elevated levels of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in the heavy distillate range. This current study was initiated in part as a result of that discovery. The following topics are considered: the historical background of the site, current site conditions, previous investigations performed at the site, an evaluation based on the available data, and the contaminants of potential concern (COPC).

The tissues are represented as five compartments: live, kidney, gastrointestinal tract, slowly perfused tissues (e.g., fat), and richly perfused tissues (e.g., muscle). The PBPK model was fitted to the plasma and urine concentrations of 2,4-TDA and its metabolite 4-AAT (4-N-acetyl-2-amino toluene) in rats given low doses of 2,4-TDA intravenously and subcutaneously. The rat model was extrapolated to simulate oral and implant routes in rats. After adjusting for human physiological parameters, the model was then used to predict the bioavailability of 2,4-TDA released from a typical 4.87-g polyester urethane foam implant found in a patient who weighed 58 kg with the Meme and had the breast implant for 10 years. A quantitative risk assessment for 2,4-TDA was performed and the polyester urethane foam did present an unreasonable risk to health for the patient.

This was done to help establish the stability of the An(VI) oxidation state depended on the pH and relative strength of the various oxidation state-specific complexes. At low ionic strength and pH 6, NpO2(2+) was rapidly reduced to form NpO2(+) organic complexes. At longer times, Np(IV) organic complexes were observed in the presence of citrate. PuO2(2+) was predominantly reduced to Pu(4+), resulting in the formation of organic complexes or polymeric/hydrolytic precipitates. The relative rates of reduction to the An(V) complex were EDTA>citrate>oxalate. Subsequent reduction to An(IV) complexes, however, occurred in the following order: citrate>EDTA>oxalate because of the stability of the An(VI)-EDTA complex. The presence of organic complexants led to the rapid reduction of NpO2(2+) and PuO2(2+) in G-Seep brine at pHs 5 and 7. At pHs 8 and 10 in ERDA-6 brine, carbonate and hydrolytic complexes predominated and slowed down or prevented the reduction of An(VI) by the organics present.

The NEPA process was initiated to assess the potential impacts of constructing and operating a 6--9 megawatt wind turbine farm. The farm was to consist of up to 18 turbines to be placed along the spine of Plum Island which lies in the Atlantic Ocean off the shore of eastern Long Island. The rationale for the proposal was to provide an alternative energy source and thus avoid the expenditure of more than one million dollars per year on electricity and the dependency on the mainland public utility companies. A sufficient wind resource is readily available on Plum Island. Complicating the issue was a window of opportunity to obtain federal production tax credits if the wind energy system could become operational before July 1, 1999.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-06-22 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Strategic plan for the geothermal energy program AN - 18165123; 4467001 AB - Geothermal energy (natural heat in the Earth's crust) represents a truly enormous amount of energy. The heat content of domestic geothermal resources is estimated to be 70,000,000 quads, equivalent to a 750,000-year supply of energy for the entire Nation at current rates of consumption. World geothermal resources (exclusive of resources under the oceans) may be as much as 20 times larger than those of the US. While industry has focused on hydrothermal resources (those containing hot water and/or steam), the long-term future of geothermal energy lies in developing technology to enable use of the full range of geothermal resources. In the foreseeable future, heat may be extracted directly from very hot rocks or from molten rocks, if suitable technology can be developed. The US Department of Energy's Office of Geothermal Technologies (OGT) endorses a vision of the future in which geothermal energy will be the preferred alternative to polluting energy sources. The mission of the Program is to work in partnership with US industry to establish geothermal energy as a sustainable, environmentally sound, economically competitive contributor to the US and world energy supply. In executing its mission and achieving its long- term vision for geothermal energy, the Program has identified five strategic goals: electric power generation; direct use applications and geothermal heat pumps; international geothermal development; science and technology; and future geothermal resources. This report discusses the objectives of these five goals.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - U.S. Department of Energy National Center of Excellence for Metals Recycle AN - 17577360; 4467479 AB - The US Department of Energy (DOE) National Center of Excellence for Metals Recycle has recently been established. The vision of this new program is to develop a DOE culture that promotes pollution prevention by considering the recycle and reuse of metal as the first and primary disposition option and burial as a last option. The Center of Excellence takes the approach that unrestricted release of metal is the first priority because it is the most cost- effective disposition pathway. Where this is not appropriate, restricted release, beneficial reuse, and stockpile of ingots are considered. The Center has gotten off to a fast start. Current recycling activities include the sale of 40,000 tons of scrap metal from the East Tennessee Technology Park (formerly K-25 Plant) K-770 scrap yard, K- 1064 surplus equipment and machinery, 7,000 PCB- contaminated drums, 12,000 tons of metal from the Y-12 scrap yard, and 1,000 metal pallets. In addition, the Center of Excellence is developing a toolbox for project teams that will contain a number of specific tools to facilitate metals recycle. This Internet-based toolbox will include primers, computer software, and case studies designed to help sites to perform life cycle analysis, perform ALARA (As Low As is Reasonably Achievable) analysis for radiation exposures, produce pollution prevention information and documentation, manage their materials inventory, produce independent government estimates, and implement sale/service contracts. The use of these tools is described for two current activities: disposition of scrap metal in the Y-12 scrap yard, and disposition of PCB-contaminated drums. Members of the Center look forward to working with all DOE sites, regulatory authorities, the private sector, and other stakeholders to achieve the metals recycle goals.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Use of ion chromatography-D.C. plasma atomic emission spectrometry for the speciation of trace metals. Final performance technical report, February 1, 1995--January 31, 1998 AN - 18153323; 4467835 AB - The chemistry of heavy metals in natural waters, industrial waste streams, and the environment is influenced by a number of factors including the prevailing matrix, their relative concentrations, and biologically or chemically induced transformations. Speciation, which entails the identification and quantification of all the forms of a metal or any other chemical entity present in a sample, is a necessary step in assessing the toxic and pollution effects and the overall impact of these entities on environmental systems. Analytical methods and protocols that can provide analytical data in the parts per billion concentration range and below are needed for these kinds of measurements. The thrust of this research was to develop metal speciation methods and techniques using direct current plasma (DCPAES) in combination with ion chromatography (IC), whereby the DCPAES serves as an element selective detector (ESD) for the metal species separated in the chromatographic column.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Structure, conformations, and repair of DNA adducts from dibenzo[a, l]pyrene: 32P-postlabeling and fluorescence studies. AN - 79937374; 9625736 AB - The nature of stable DNA adducts derived from the very potent carcinogen dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P) in the presence of rat liver microsomes in vitro and in mouse skin in vivo has been studied using 32P-postlabeling and laser-based fluorescence techniques. Analysis of DB[a,l]P-DNA adducts via 32P-postlabeling has been obtained by comparison of the adduct patterns to those obtained from reactions of synthetic (+/-)-anti-, (+)-anti-, (-)-anti-, and (+/-)-syn-DB[a,l]P-11,12-diol 13,14-epoxide (DB[a,l]PDE) with single nucleotides and calf thymus DNA. anti-DB[a,l]PDE-dA adducts derived from the (-)-enantiomer are the major adducts formed in calf thymus DNA and in mouse skin DNA. The ratio of deoxyadenosine to deoxyguanosine modification is approximately 2:1 in mouse skin exposed to DB[a,l]P; activation by rat liver microsomes leads to a similar profile of adducts but with two additional spots. The conformations of DB[a,l]P adducts in native DNA, as well as the possibility of conformation-dependent repair, have been explored by low-temperature fluorescence spectroscopy. These studies have been performed using polynucleotides and calf thymus DNA reacted in vitro with DB[a,l]PDE and native DNA from mouse epidermis exposed to DB[a, l]P. The results show that adducts are heterogeneous, possess different structures, and adopt different conformations. External, external but base-stacked and intercalated adduct conformations are observed in calf thymus DNA and in mouse skin DNA samples. Differences in adduct repair rates are also revealed; namely, the analysis of mouse skin DNA samples obtained at 24 and 48 h after exposure to DB[a,l]P clearly shows that external adducts are repaired more efficiently than intercalated adducts. These results, taken together with those for B[a]P-DNA adducts [Suh et al. (1995) Carcinogenesis 16, 2561-2569], indicate that the repair of DNA damage resulting from PAH diol epoxides is conformation-dependent.

At least nine events are evident, beginning 37 ka. We study in detail the frequency-magnitude relation for the fault and develop a Bayesian analysis to compare the characteristic earthquake (CE) model and the Gutenberg-Richter (GR) model. Our analysis leads to the conclusion that there was a change in seismic behavior at about 14 ka. From approximately 37 ka to approximately 14 ka, the seismic activity is best described by the CE model. From approximately 14 ka to the present, there is no strong indication favoring one model over the other; the earthquake record is somewhat more consistent with the classical GR equation than with the CE model. If one does assume that the CE model is appropriate for the younger episode, then there is evidence of a change in the characteristic magnitude. Thus, there is evidence of a change in earthquake behavior on the fault segment approximately 14 ka.

In operation since 1945, the B Pond system has been a RCRA facility since 1986, with Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) interim-status groundwater monitoring in place since 1988. In 1994, discharges were diverted from the main pond, where the greatest potential for contamination was thought to reside, to the 3C expansion pond. In 1997, all discharges to the pond system were discontinued. In 1990, the B Pond system was elevated from detection groundwater monitoring to an assessment-level status because total organic halogens and total organic carbon were found to exceed critical means in two wells. Subsequent groundwater quality assessment failed to find any specific hazardous waste contaminant that could have accounted for the exceedances, which were largely isolated in occurrence. Thus, it was recommended that the facility be returned to detection-level monitoring.

Speciation, which entails the identification and quantification of all the forms of a metal or any other chemical entity present in a sample, is a necessary step in assessing the toxic and pollution effects and the overall impact of these entities on environmental systems. Analytical methods and protocols that can provide analytical data in the parts per billion concentration range and below are needed for these kinds of measurements. The thrust of this research was to develop metal speciation methods and techniques using direct current plasma (DCPAES) in combination with ion chromatography (IC), whereby the DCPAES serves as an element selective detector (ESD) for the metal species separated in the chromatographic column. While the metal speciation work carried out in this program has utilized the IC-DCPAES as the primary analytical measurement tool, other sample processing and preparation approaches have also been developed to enhance the effectiveness and capability of the chromatographic-element selective method of metal speciation. Post-column derivatization and solid phase extraction are two protocols which were incorporated with IC-ESD with significant improvements in the capability of the method.

For example, scale analysis can be applied to estimate the effectiveness of convective missing on the dilution of contaminants in groundwater. Scale analysis involves substituting simple quotients for partial derivatives and identifying and equating the dominant terms in an order-of-magnitude sense. For free convection due to sidewall heating of saturated porous media, scale analysis shows that vertical convective velocity in the thermal boundary layer region is proportional to the Rayleigh number, horizontal convective velocity is proportional to the square root of the Rayleigh number, and thermal boundary layer thickness is proportional to the inverse square root of the Rayleigh number. These scale analysis estimates are corroborated by numerical simulations of an idealized system. A scale analysis estimate of mixing time for a tracer mixing by hydrodynamic dispersion in a convection cell also agrees well with numerical simulation for two different Rayleigh numbers. Scale analysis for the heating-from-below scenario produces estimates of maximum velocity one-half as large as the sidewall case. At small values of the Rayleigh number, this estimate is confirmed by numerical simulation. For larger Rayleigh numbers, simulation results suggest maximum velocities are similar to the sidewall heating scenario. In general, agreement between scale analysis estimates and numerical simulation results serves to validate the method of scale analysis. Application is to radioactive repositories.

This new approach to site characterization and monitoring can provide detailed maps of hydrogeological heterogeneity and the extent of contamination by combining information from electric resistivity tomography (ERT) surveys, statistical information about heterogeneity and hydrologic processes, and sparse hydrologic data. Because the electrical conductivity of the vadose zone (from the ERT measurements) can be correlated to the fluid saturation and/or contaminant concentration, the hydrologic and geophysical measurements are related. As of the 21st month of a 36-month project, a three-dimensional stochastic hydrologic inverse model for heterogeneous vadose zones has been developed. This model employs pressure and moisture content measurements under both transient and steady flow conditions to estimate unsaturated hydraulic parameters. In this model, an innovative approach to sequentially condition the estimate using temporal measurements has been incorporated. This allows us to use vast amounts of pressure and moisture content information measured at different times while keeping the computational effort manageable. Using this model the authors have found that the relative importance of the pressure and moisture content measurements in defining the different vadose zone parameters depends on whether the soil is wet or dry. They have also learned that pressure and moisture content measurements collected during steady state flow provide the best characterization of heterogeneity compared to other types of hydrologic data. These findings provide important guidance to the design of sampling scheme of the field experiment described below.

Pollutants which sorb strongly to aquifer solids are not efficiently remediated using pump and treat technologies. However, if the sorbents most active in immobilizing pollutants (e.g., clays, humics, and iron oxides) were dispersed into colloidal size particles (colloid mobilization), these colloids and their associated pollutants might be pumped from aquifers. At a chromium contaminated sandy aquifer, this project seeks to: (1) understand the forces which stabilize colloidal particles in the aquifer, (2) devise solutions which will disrupt these colloid stabilizing forces, and (3) demonstrate the effectiveness of colloid mobilization as a remediation technique for removing sorbed chromium from the aquifer. This progress report summarizes work completed after 1 1/2 years of a three-year project. The efforts have focused on remediation of a chromium contaminated aquifer located on the property of National Chromium in northeastern Connecticut. Work to date may be divided into three areas: (1) site characterization; (2) identification of colloid binding forces and development of an effective colloid dispersion treatment; and (3) field testing of the aquifer remediation strategy.

At Hanford, single shell tanks (SST's) with high level wastes (HLW) have leaked supernate containing over 10 (super 6) Ci of 137 Cs and other co-contaminants into the vadose zone. In select locations, 137 Cs has migrated further than expected from retardation experiments and performance assessment calculations. Deep 137 Cs migration has been observed beneath the SX tank farm at Hanford with REDOX wastes as the carrier causing regulatory and stakeholder concern. The causes for expedited migration are unclear. This research is investigating how the sorption chemistry of Cs on Hanford vadose zone sediments changes after contact with solutions characteristic of HLW. The central scientific hypothesis is that the high Na concentration of HLW will suppress surface-exchange reactions of Cs, except those to highly-selective frayed edge sites (FES) of the micaceous fraction. The authors further speculate that the concentrations, ion selectivity, and structural aspects of the FES will change after contact with HLW and that these changes will be manifest in the macroscopic sorption behavior of Cs. The authors believe that migration predictions of Cs can be improved substantially if such changes are understood and quantified. The research has three objectives: (1.) identify how the multi-component surface exchange behavior of Cs on Hanford sediments changes after contact with HLW simulants that span a range of relevant chemical (Na, OH, Al, K) and temperature conditions (23-80 C); (2) reconcile changes in sorption chemistry with microscopic and molecular changes in site distribution, chemistry, mineralogy, and surface structure of the micaceous fraction; (3) integrate mass- action-solution exchange measurements with changes in the structure/site distribution of the micaceous fraction to yield a multicomponent exchange model relevant to high ionic strength and hydroxide for prediction of environmental Cs sorption.

To do this, useful seismic and GPR data are being collected along the same line(s) and within the same depth range. The principal investigators selected a site in central Kansas as a primary location and, although the site itself is not environmentally sensitive, the location chosen offers particularly useful attributes for this research and will serve as a proxy site for areas that are contaminated. As part of an effort to evaluate the strengths of each method, the authors will repeat the seismic and GPR surveys on a seasonal basis to establish how the complementary information obtained varies over time. Because the water table fluctuates at this site on a seasonal basis, variations in the two types of data over time also can be observed. Such noninvasive in-situ methods of identifying and characterizing the hydrologic flow regimes at contaminated sites support the prospect of developing effective, cost-conscious cleanup strategies in the near future. As of the end of May 1998, the project is on schedule. The first field work was conducted using both of the geophysical survey methods in October of 1997, and the second field survey employed both methods in March of 1998. One of the stated tasks is to reoccupy the same survey line on a quarterly basis for two years to examine change in both the seismic reflection data and the ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data over time. Two factors drive these changes: First, the soil-moisture conditions vary on a seasonal basis at the site. Second, the water table rises and falls on the order of one meter in response to changes in the level of the Arkansas River and in response to the many irrigation wells found nearby. At the test site in the Arkansas River alluvial valley near Great Bend, Kansas, surface material consists of unconsolidated medium- to coarse-grained sand interspersed with clay stringers and lenses deposited by the Arkansas River. A hand-augered test hole 5 meters from the seismic line revealed sand to a depth of about 1.5 meters, where a hard pan was found presumably a clay layer. At the time of the seismic and GPR surveys, the water table was at a depth of 2.1 meters, based on a measurement in a test well located 25 meters from the seismic line. A well drilled about 40 meters away from the seismic line encountered bedrock (a fine- to medium-grained Cretaceous-age sandstone) at a depth of 29 meters.

Particular emphasis is placed on identifying and quantifying the effects of intrinsic remediation, and verifying the efficacy of engineered remediation activities. Isotopic measurements of elements like C, O, H, He, Cl, and Sr, which are present in groundwater and soil gas, provide a quantitative measure of material balance. They can be used to identify the sites of origin of contaminants in groundwater, and to determine if contaminants are being destroyed as a result of natural processes or engineered processes. Isotope ratios can also be used to trace the migration of fluids that are pumped down wells to destroy or confine underground contaminants, such as steam and grout, and they can be used to diagnose what chemical reactions are occurring underground and what materials are reacting. For example, destruction of TCE usually produces carbon dioxide, but carbon dioxide can also come from dissolution of calcite. There are many isotopic ratios that can be measured in groundwater and vadose zone gas that could be valuable for characterizing remediation sites and monitoring remediation activities. The authors concentrate on a few that are particularly useful for the problems being addressed at the TAN (Test Area North) and RWMC (Radioactive Waste Management Complex) sites of the Idaho National Engineering Lab. The isotopes the authors are using are carbon-13, carbon-14, helium-3, strontium-87, chlorine-37, and oxygen-18.

As of April 15, 1998, they have made significant progress in the development of a unified approach to the examination of bioavailability and bioaccessibility of elemental contamination of soils for the ingestion route of exposure. This includes the initial characterization of the soil, in vitro measurements of bioaccessibility, and in vivo measurements of bioavailability. They have identified the basic chemical and microbiological characteristics of waste laden soils. These have been used to prioritize the soils for potential mobility of the trace elements present in the soil. Subsequently they have employed a mass balance technique, which for the first time tracked the movement and distribution of elements through an in vitro or in vivo experimental protocol to define the bioaccessible and the bioavailable fractions of digested soil. The basic mass balance equation for the in vitro system is: MT = MSGJ+MIJ+MR. where MT is the total mass extractable by a specific method, MSGJ, is the mass extracted by the saliva and the gastric juices, MIJ is the mass extracted by the intestinal fluid, and MR is the unextractable portion of the initial mass. The above is based upon the use of a synthetic digestive bio-fluids model that includes the saliva, gastric juices, and intestinal fluids. The system has been devised to sequentially extract elements from soil by starting with an extraction by the saliva and carrying the entire mixture to the subsequent bio-fluids for further extraction. The residence time of the soil in each extractant and the liquid to mass ratio in the gastric juices are based upon typical values known for the human digestive system. Experiments were conducted to examine the sensitivity of the extractions to changes in these major variables. The results indicated the lack of significant extraction after 2 h of residence in gastric fluid. The range of variation of the liquid to mass ratio was element dependent over the interval 100:1 and 5,000:1. The final values used for the extraction protocol were: 2 h residence time, and a ratio of 1,000:1. Details of the chemical composition of the extraction protocol are found in Hamel, 1998.

The project is organized around two interrelated tasks: Task 1 addresses the tumorigenic and dosimetry issues for the metabolites of TCE that produce liver cancer in mice, dichloroacetate (DCA) and trichloroacetate (TCA). Early work had suggested that TCA was primarily responsible for TCE-induced liver tumors, but several, more mechanistic observations suggest that DCA may play a prominent role. This task is aimed at determining the basis for the selection hypothesis and seeks to prove that this mode of action is responsible for TCE-induced tumors. This project will supply the basic dose-response data from which low-dose extrapolations would be made. Task 2 seeks specific evidence that TCA and DCA are capable of promoting the growth of spontaneously initiated cells from mouse liver, in vitro. The data provide the clearest evidence that both metabolites act by a mechanism of selection rather than mutation. These data are necessary to select between a linear (i.e. no threshold) and non-linear low-dose extrapolation model. As of May of 1998, this research has identified two plausible modes of action by which TCE produces liver tumors in mice. These modes of action do not require the compounds to be mutagenic. The bulk of the experimental evidence suggests that neither TCE nor the two hepatocarcinogenic metabolites of TCE are mutagenic. The results from the colony formation assay clearly establish that both of these metabolites cause colony growth from initiated cells that occur spontaneously in the liver of B6 C3 F1 mice, although the phenotypes of the colonies differ in the same manner as tumors differ, in vivo. In the case of DCA, a second mechanism may occur at a lower dose involving the release of insulin. This observation is timely as it was recently reported that occupational exposures to trichloroethylene results in 2 to 4-fold elevations in serum insulin concentrations, as well. The increases in insulin have not been shown responsible for the induction of liver tumors. Therefore, this problem is a subject of a proposal to the Office of Biological and Environmental Research Low-Dose Initiative. However, even if this is demonstrated to be the most sensitive mechanism for liver tumor induction, it is unlikely to contribute to induction of cancer at lower doses, since this involves modification of normal endocrine function. As doses are decreased to levels that do not induce increase in serum insulin level, there should be no risk from this metabolite either. Therefore, there is clearly a rational basis for considering a margin of exposure for low dose extrapolation of liver cancer risks for TCE.

Specific goals include: (1) determining whether typical DNAPLs can penetrate fractures and the fine-grained matrix pore structure for head values within the range expected for a typical DNAPL spill; (2) investigate methods of measuring or estimating fracture or matrix entry pressure and pressure-saturation curves for these materials; (3) experimentally determine whether DNAPL residuals in fractures can be significantly depleted by dissolution and diffusion into the fine-grained matrix over the time-frame relevant to many contaminant investigation and remediation programs; and (4) assess potential for natural attenuation of common DNAPLs (TCE and its degradation products) in these deposits. Preliminary investigations indicate that DNAPL source removal will be a much more difficult and slower process for fractured clay-rich deposits than for granular deposits. These basic research investigations are needed to build the scientific framework for assessment of remediation options or for determining whether remediation, at least for the source zone, should be considered Technically Impractible (TI). This report summarizes progress made during the first 1.7 years of a 3-year project. The project investigates the behavior of DNAPLs in two fractured clay-rich materials: weathered shales at Oak Ridge National Lab. in east Tennessee; and weathered glacial till in southern Ontario. The materials, although very different in origin, are similar in terms of fracturing, porosity and hydraulic conductivity and DNAPLs are expected to behave in similar fashions in the two materials. This allows the researchers to share their expertise, as well as helping to determine whether the findings of these studies are applicable to a broader spectrum of fractured clay-rich materials. Results to date for the major sub-projects are briefly described.

Especially deficient is the understanding of these processes involving pollutant metal ions and interactions among these ions. Based on the current knowledge regarding nutrient ions, it is clear that elucidation of rhizospheric processes such as exudation of organic ligands by plant roots and plant metabolism/adaptation involving these biogenic chelators is critically important. A mechanistic insight into these processes will advance knowledge in microbe-plant host interactions and how metal ions are mobilized, immobilized, and sequestered by these interactions. This, in turn, is essential to applications such as phytobioremediation and microbioremediation of metal ion pollution. Root exudation also serves many other important rhizosphere functions including energy supply for microbial degradation of organic pollutants, structuring of microbial community, and the formation of soil humic materials which are considered to be a major sink for both organic and inorganic pollutants. How root exudates function is critically dependent on the chemical nature of exudate components. Therefore, a comprehensive characterization of all major exudate components, regardless of their chemical class, should facilitate the development and implementation of bioremediation for both organic and inorganic pollutants. Therefore, the objectives of this project are: (1) To obtain a comprehensive composition of major organic components in plant root exudates as a function of different metal ions; (2) To examine plant metabolic response(s) to these metal ion treatments, with emphasis on biosynthetic pathways of organic ligands; and (3) To investigate the effect(s) of soil microbial (e.g. mycorrhizae) association on (1) and (2).

These compounds are designated as priority pollutants by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and are known or suspected to be carcinogenic or mutagenic in humans. These compounds are readily transported by groundwater and are not reduced to acceptable concentrations for human consumption by most municipal water supply treatments; thus the compounds represent a significant hazard to a large portion of the human population. In situ bioremediation is an emerging technology that shows great promise for mitigation of CAH contamination at many sites. One of the most severe limitations of in-situ bioremediation is the difficulty of proving when it is working at a given site. The concentrations of CAHs and their degradation products in plumes may be difficult to relate to the efficiency of the remediation process because of dilution effects, but this problem is mitigated to a large extent by measuring isotope ratios. If there is a significant isotopic fractionation between CAHs and derivative chlorine-bearing products, then the fraction of CAH that is dechlorinated can be inferred from the (super 37) Cl/ (super 35) Cl and (super 13) C/ (super 12) C isotope ratios of the residual CAH. It is important to point out that there is currently no published information available on the magnitude of chlorine and carbon isotopic fractionation associated with biological degradation of CAHs. The authors plan to help eliminate this important gap in the knowledge with the work being performed here. This work is relevant to EMSP goals because it will provide a new and cost-effective means of evaluating and monitoring the effectiveness of in-situ bioremediation. It will employ newly developed techniques to characterize isotopic fractionation (of chlorine and carbon) associated with biotic and abiotic degradation of CAHs in laboratory microcosms. These techniques and the data acquired by using them in laboratory studies will form the fundamental basis for quantitative assessment of the mechanisms, rates, and efficiencies of various in-situ bioremediation schemes for CAHs. This report summarizes work as of 21 months into a 36-month project. First, the author has developed methods for precise measurement of stable carbon and chlorine isotope ratios of micromolar amounts of CAHs. He has also developed methods for quantitative extraction of CAHs from water and air. He has applied these methods in laboratory experiments, to investigate isotopic fractionation caused by microbial degradation and by abiotic processes such as evaporation and chemical reduction. He has also applied these methods to field investigations of contaminated groundwater aquifers at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, Kentucky and at several manufacturing plants in the Chicago and Kansas City metropolitan areas. Results of much of this work have already been incorporated into four manuscripts that have been published, accepted for publication, or are in review.

Equilibrium states and kinetics of partitioning in these ternary systems will control contaminant transport and bioavailability of the ligands and contaminant metals in groundwater. As a result, this work represents a significant contribution toward efforts to develop predictive modeling for the transport and transformation of groundwater contaminants. Uranium(VI), strontium(II) and lead(II) have been chosen as representative of high priority pollutants at DOE and non-DOE sites. Strontium in particular has received relatively little detailed attention in the literature. Mineral surfaces chosen for this project include goethite, gibbsite, and kaolinite. The organic chelators--EDTA, NTA, and citric acid--are components of both DOE and industrial wastes. In addition, citric acid is found naturally as a product of metabolic processes in soils and groundwater.

Three specific objectives towards this end are: (1) understanding IP at the laboratory level through measurements of complex resistivity as a function of frequency in rock and soil samples with varying pore geometries, pore fluid conductivities and saturations, and contaminant chemistries and concentrations; (2) developing effective data acquisition techniques for measuring the critical IP responses (time domain or frequency domain) in the field; (3) developing modeling and inversion algorithms that permit the interpretation of field IP data in terms of subsurface geology and contaminant plume properties. The authors laboratory experiments to date are described in Appendices A and B, which consist of two papers submitted to the annual SAGEEP conference (Frye et al., 1998; Sturrock et al., 1998). The experiments involved measurements of complex resistivity vs. frequency on a suite of brine saturated sandstone samples. In one set of experiments, the fluid chemistry (pH, ionic strength, and cation type) was varied. In a second set of experiments, the microgeometry of the rock matrix was varied. The experiments showed that spectral IP responses are sensitive to subtle variations in both the solution chemistry and rock microgeometry. The results demonstrate that spectral IP responses have the potential of being sensitive indicators of in-situ chemistry and microgeometry, the latter of which may be related to the hydraulic properties. Data Acquisition The authors have been looking in some detail at the effects of electromagnetic coupling and how to practically deal with it. In this area, the results to date are summarized in Vandiver (1998). The progress in the development of modeling and inversion algorithms for IP is described in Appendix C, a paper submitted to the annual SAGEEP conference (Shi et al., 1998). The authors have developed algorithms for forward modeling and inversion of spectral IP data in 3-D media. The algorithms accommodate a general earth model with a complex electrical conductivity as a function of frequency and 3-D spatial position. Using regularization and optimization techniques, the inversion algorithm obtains a 3- D image of resistivity amplitude and phase for each frequency contained in the data set. They have begun testing their algorithms on synthetic data generated from a simple model of a contaminant plume. The complex resistivity parameters of the background medium and plume are based on the laboratory results described above.

This work will generate basic knowledge on the kinetics and mechanism(s) of heavy metal retention/release by soil mineral colloids. The information should assist in improving remediation strategies for toxic heavy metal contaminated soils. The objectives are: (1) To determine the effects of residence time on the mechanisms of Cr(VI), Cu(II), Co(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), and Ni(II) sorption/release on Fe and Al oxide and clay mineral surfaces using kinetic studies coupled to extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. (2) To study the effect of temperature, pH, and phosphate on metal sorption by oxides, and derive thermodynamic parameters to describe the sorption process. As of June, 16, 1997 several clay minerals were tested for their efficiency of removing Cr from aqueous systems. The materials tested--smectite, vermiculites, illites, and kaolinite--represent the natural clay minerals that are abundant in soils and sediments. The clays were used in either their original or reduced (reduced with sodium dithionite) forms. The experimental result indicate that the reduced clays acted as an efficient remover of Cr(VI) from an aqueous system. The XANES spectra of Cr-treated clays provided evidence that the clays reduced Cr(VI) to Cr(III) and immobilized Cr in the clays at the same time. Sodium dithionite applied directly into aqueous systems reduced Cr(VI) to Cr(III), but could not immobilize Cr even in the presence of the clays. The Cr(VI) removal capacity varied with the clay mineral type and the structural Fe content. Within the same type of clay minerals, reduction of Cr(VI) is highly related to the ferrous iron content of the clays, which indicates that the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) results from the oxidation of structural Fe(II) to Fe(III). The results of this study can be used to develop a method for remediation of chromium in waste water. The mechanisms and conditions for coupled reduction-sorption of chromate in dithionite-reduced smectites was investigated in this study by both equilibrium and spectroscopic methods. The batch study showed that the maximum removal of Cr(VI) by the reduced smectite was highly related to its structural Fe(II) content. The surface cation type and ion strength which affected the expanding of smectite also influenced the electron transfer, and thus the coupled reduction-sorption processes. The pH of the aqueous system was a determining factor for both the amount of Cr(VI) reduced to Cr(III) and the partition of Cr(III) between aqueous and adsorbed species. The environments of chromium in the smectite were studied with various spectroscopies (IR, XRD, XANES, and EXAFS).

This will allow the author to assess the use of dielectric and NMR measurements at a site to determine whether organic contaminants are present in the central volume of the pore space or are adsorbed to the solid surfaces. In addition, she proposes to use laboratory dielectric and NMR measurements to study the kinetics of the adsorption and desorption of organics. This report summarizes work completed after 20 months of a three-year project. The research involves the study of the NMR and dielectric behavior of sands with three types of solid surfaces: water- wet, where water spontaneously coats and adsorbs to the solid surfaces; hydrophobic, where water is repelled from the solid surfaces by an organosilane coating; and oil-wet, where oil coats the solid surfaces. The oil-wet case is representative of a contaminated soil, in which oil has become adsorbed to the solid surfaces.

The techniques employ accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), a relatively new analytical tool that permits this work to be conducted for the first time. Because the nuclides addressed in this project originated from thermonuclear events, they are generally those of most concern when assessing the extent of and risk from actual or potential radioactive contamination. The advantages of the authors approach include: (1) the ability to conduct migration studies in locations most like those of concern to public health, e.g., a far-field environment; (2) sites of multiple contamination, e.g., by VOCs, can be avoided; (3) it becomes unnecessary to collect research samples that are themselves radioactive waste and are therefore difficult to handle and dispose of in the laboratory; and (4) since the nuclides are globally distributed, migration research can be conducted in any chosen environment. This report summarizes the research progress through the first 16 months of a 3-year project. It discusses the work completed and in progress on the development of AMS techniques for (super 99) Tc, (super 129) I, (super 36) Cl, and the development of a demonstration field site chosen for this project in arid unsaturated soils.

The research approach targets multiple scales, including: (a) a theoretical description of colloid dynamics in fractures that extend concepts used for porous media to fracture geometry, with predictions experimentally tested in simplified laboratory fractures; (b) colloid transport experiments in intact geological columns, which provide natural complexity, but mass balance data and experimental control over flow, colloid size, ionic strength and composition; (c) field-scale transport experiments using colloidal tracers to examine realistic scales of fracture connectivity; and (d) modeling of colloid transport in complex fracture networks that include fractures with varying flow rates and permitting colloid diffusion into microfractures. Understanding the processes that control colloid behavior will increase confidence with which colloid-facilitated contaminant transport can be predicted and assessed at contaminated DOE sites. An added benefit is the expectation that this work will yield novel techniques to either immobilize colloid-bound contaminants in-situ, or mobilize colloids for enhancing remedial techniques such as pump-and-treat and bioremediation.

These experiments will be used to identify mechanistic geochemical reactions and their thermochemical properties that will be incorporated into geochemical computer codes.

The study is motivated by the likelihood that subsurface microbial activity can effectively alter the redox state of toxic metals and radionuclides so that they are immobilized for long time periods. The objectives are to: (1) develop an improved understanding of the rates and mechanisms of competing geochemical oxidation and microbiological reduction reactions that govern the fate and transport of redox-sensitive metals and radionuclides in the subsurface, and (2) quantify the conditions that optimize the microbial reduction of toxic metals and radionuclides, for the purpose of contaminant containment and remediation in heterogeneous systems that have competing geochemical oxidation, sorption, and organic ligands. The overall goal of this project is to use basic research to develop a cost effective remediation strategy that employs in-situ contaminant immobilzation. Specifically, the authors will develop active biowall technologies to contain priority EM contaminant plumes in groundwater. This report summarizes work after 1.5 y of a 3 y project.

The spatial variability of unsaturated hydraulic properties in these heterogeneous geologic materials directly influences the movement of water and non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL's). Poor characterization of heterogeneity may lead to ineffective remedial designs and increased risk, requiring subsequent additional remedial actions at increased cost and time. Remedial design can be improved using probabilistic risk-based decision analysis, which requires a large number of hydraulic property observations. Laboratory methods for estimating the unsaturated permeability are expensive, time-consuming, and may not yield results representative of heterogeneous field conditions. Simple and rapid field methods for estimating in-situ unsaturated permeability are appealing and potentially cost-effective. The primary objective of the EMSP research is to design, develop, and test new permeameters for use in spatial variability studies. The authors have established a series of permeameter design criteria, including: (1) measurements should be relatively rapid, (2) the total cost per data point should be low, (3) results would accurately reflect the variation of unsaturated hydraulic properties between sampled locations, (4) the volume sampled (measurement support) would be small, and (5) useful range would be relevant to the range of soil moisture conditions encountered at DOE sites. This report summarizes work after year two of a 3- year project.

The project has the primary objectives of developing this integrated system for efficient and economical removal and degradation of SVOCs and VOCs from groundwater. The project has as its goal the partial degradation (softening) of the more recalcitrant organic compounds in order to convert them into compounds that are more amenable to both air sparging and biological treatment. By performing the softening in-well, the treated organics can be reinjected and percolated through the subsurface, thereby enhancing biodegradation by generating organics that are more easily biodegraded. This report summarizes work after nearly 2 years of a 3-year project. Argonne National Laboratory is developing a new technology that combines in-well sonication, in-well vapor stripping, and in- situ biodegradation for removal of SVOCs and VOCs from solution. Bench-scale batch experiments have been performed investigating the separate treatment systems involving stripping and sonication of halogenated organics in groundwater, along with the combined sonication/stripping system. Organic contaminants studied include: trichloroethylene (TCE), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), tetrachloroethylene (PCE), trichloroethane (TCA), and ethylene dibromide (EDB). Initial organic concentrations range from (approximately)10 to (approximately)100 mg/L. Results of the sonication and vapor stripping experiments are available upon request.

The goal is to get the most accurate map of the hydrogeological parameters, necessary for modeling and designing the cleanup efforts at the site, using well log data and remote sensing geophysical techniques. In the second year of the project progress has been made in several areas: gathering and interpreting Vertical Seismic Profile (VSP) and Electromagnetic (EM) surveys; investigating the impact of various seismic measurements on upscaling of rock physics relations between sediment properties; and developing a new approach to integrate geophysical and hydrological data using state of the art methods to characterize the subsurface lithology. Vertical Seismic Profile data has been gathered from selected wells at the Treatment Facility D (TFD) during April 1996 and April 1998. The most striking finding here is the detection of anomalies related to saturation conditions. Preliminary results have revealed three anomalously low acoustic velocity zones with velocities below 1,000 m/s; this is lower than the natural acoustic velocity in saturated media by pure water (1,500 m/s). These three zones appear to be associated with HSUs 3a, 3b and 5. Velocities below 600 m/s have been revealed in the 3a and 3b HSUs (http://www.ce.Berkeley. edu/(approximately) ezzedine/DOE/paul.html). The authors believe that these anomalies are indicative of partial saturation. This explanation is supported by the water samples taken from pumping stations near the VSP well sites which appears to contain air bubbles. A gas analysis of water samples has not yet been performed. The authors hypothesize that this gas can be either air being sucked-in from the vadose zone above the water table, or from some chemical reaction. As a matter of fact, the natural water table level at this site was around 20 m below ground surface before any large scale pumping began, and had dropped to 25.5 m, in April 98. Furthermore, some of these low velocity zones are occurring not only in the major free-flowing sand or gravel parts of the HSU, but in boundary layers of silty sand either above or below the main HSU conductor. An electromagnetic survey was conducted at the site during June 4-25, 1997, and they worked on its interpretation. Seven cross well EM data sets were collected. Both 1D and 2D simulations, approximating the actual site and survey setup, were conducted. The 1D simulations were conducted using the code EM1D for one data set. Newman and Alumbaugh's 3D forward code was used to simulate the response of both a resistive layer (representing HSU 4) and a conductive layer at the same location. Three separate inversion algorithms were applied to the data: Newman and Alumbaugh's 2.5D finite difference and integral solution algorithm, Alumbaugh's iterative Born approximation with a cylindrical symmetry, and Tseng's 3D extended born approximation. The field EM data are still being analyzed.

These advances include: (1) progress on the inverse problem of how to estimate the three-dimensional distribution of NAPL in aquifers from the tracer data, (2) the first ever partitioning tracer experiments in dual porosity media, (3) the first modeling of partitioning tracers in dual porosity media, (4) experiments with complex NAPLs such as coal tar, (5) the development of an accurate and simple method to predict partition coefficients using the equivalent alkane carbon number approach, (6) partitioning tracer experiments in large model aquifers with permeability layers, (7) the first ever analysis of partitioning tracer data to estimate the change in composition of a NAPL before and after remediation, (8) the first ever analysis of partitioning tracer data after a field demonstration of surfactant foam to remediate NAPL, and (9) experiments at elevated temperatures. The authors have developed a new analytic approach that has several advantages over existing approaches for inversion of tracer data.First, the technique utilizes an extremely efficient three-dimensional multiphase streamline simulator as a forward model. Second, the parameter sensitivities are formulated in terms of one-dimensional integrals of analytic functions along the streamlines. Thus, the computation of sensitivities for all model parameters requires only a single simulation run to construct the velocity field and generate the streamlines. The inversion of tracer data is then performed using a two-step iterative linearization that involves first lining- up the breakthrough times at the producing wells and then matching the production history. Their approach follows from an analogy between streamlines and ray tracing in seismology. The inverse method is analogous to seismic waveform inversion and thus, allows them to utilize efficient methods from geophysical imaging. The new approach has been applied for estimating permeability distribution based on conservative tracer tests (D.W. Vasco and A. Datta-Gupta: "Asymptotic Solutions for Solute Transport: A Formalism for Tracer Tomography". Submitted to Water Resources Research, December 1997), and is currently being extended for analysis of partitioning tracer data.

Migration of these contaminants through the vadose zone has lead to the contamination of or threatens to contaminate underlying groundwater. A key issue in choosing a corrective action plan to clean up contaminated sites is to determine the location, total mass, mobility and travel time to receptors for contaminants moving in the vadose zone. These problems are difficult to solve in a technically defensible and accurate manner because contaminants travel downward intermittently through narrow pathways driven by variations in environmental conditions. These preferential pathways can be difficult to find and predict. The primary objective of this project is to determine if and when dynamical chaos theory can be used to investigate infiltration of fluid and contaminant transport in heterogeneous soils and fractured rocks. The objective of this project is being achieved through the following Activities (1) Evaluation of chaotic behavior of flow in laboratory and field experiments using methods from non-linear dynamics; (2) Evaluation of the impact these dynamics may have on contaminant transport through heterogeneous fractured rocks and soils, and how it can be used to guide remediation efforts; (3) Development of a conceptual model and mathematical and numerical algorithms for flow and transport, which incorporate both: (a) the spatial variability of heterogeneous porous and fractured media, and (b) the description of the temporal dynamics of flow and transport, which may be chaotic; and (4) Development of appropriate experimental field and laboratory techniques needed to detect diagnostic parameters for chaotic behavior of flow. This approach is based on the assumption that spatial heterogeneity and flow phenomena are affected by non-linear dynamics, and in particular, chaotic processes. The scientific and practical value of this approach is that the authors can predict the range within which the parameters of flow and transport change with time in order to design and manage the remediation, even when the authors can not predict the behavior at any point or time. This progress report summarizes work after 1.5 years of a 3-year project.

The workshop was successful in generating intensive discussions on the merits of the proposed concept that includes removal of radionuclides by plants and trees (phytoremediation) to clean up soil in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ), use of the resultant biomass (plants and trees) to generate electrical power, and incorporation of ash in concrete casks to be used as storage containers in a licensed repository for low-level waste. Twelve years after the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (ChNPP) Unit 4 accident, which occurred on April 26, 1986, the primary 4 radioactive contamination of concern is from radioactive cesium ( (super 137) Cs) and strontium ( (super 90) Sr). The (super 137) Cs and (super 90) Sr were widely distributed throughout the CEZ. The attendees from Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Denmark and the US provided information, discussed and debated the following issues considerably: distribution and characteristics of radionuclides in CEZ; efficacy of using trees and plants to extract radioactive cesium (Cs) and strontium (Sr) from contaminated soil; selection of energy conversion systems and technologies; necessary infrastructure for biomass harvesting, handling, transportation, and energy conversion; radioactive ash and emission management; occupational health and safety concerns for the personnel involved in this work; and economics. The attendees concluded that the overall concept has technical and possibly economic merits. However, many issues (technical, economic, risk) remain to be resolved before a viable commercial-scale implementation could take place.

The contamination is not uniformly distributed, but occurs within areas of clean soil. Because it is difficult to characterize heterogeneously contaminated soils in detail and to excavate such soils precisely using heavy equipment, it is common for large quantities of uncontaminated soil to be removed during excavation of contaminated sites. This practice results in the commingling and disposal of clean and contaminated material as low-level waste (LLW), or possibly low-level mixed waste (LLMW). To reduce the amount of LLW and LLMW generated during the excavation process, SNL/NM is evaluating two alternative technologies. The first of these, the Segmented Gate System (SGS), is an automated system that located and removes gamma-ray emitting radionuclides from a host matrix (soil, sand, dry sludge). The matrix materials is transported by a conveyor to an analyzer/separation system, which segregates the clean and contaminated material based on radionuclide activity level. The SGS was used to process radioactively contaminated soil from the excavation of the Radioactive Waste Landfill. The second technology, Large Area Gamma Spectroscopy (LAGS), utilizes a gamma spec analyzer suspended over a slab upon which soil is spread out to a uniform depth. A counting period of approximately 30 minutes is used to obtain a full-spectrum analysis for the isotopes of interest. The LAGS is being tested on the soil that is being excavated from the Classified Waste Landfill.

N1 - Last updated - 2014-05-06 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Contingency plan for the Old Hydrofracture Facility Tanks Sluicing Project at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee AN - 17661136; 4466527 AB - This revised contingency plan addresses potential scenarios involving the release of radioactively contaminated waste from the Old Hydrofracture Facility Tanks Contents Removal project to the environment. The tanks are located at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The project involves sluicing the contents of the five underground tanks to mix the sludge and supernatant layers, and pumping the mixture to the Melton Valley Storage Tanks (MVST) for future processing. The sluicing system to be used for the project consists of a spray nozzle designated the (open quotes)Borehole Miner,(close quotes) with an associated pump; in-tank submersible pumps to transfer tank contents from the sluice tanks to the recycle tank; high-pressure pumps providing slurry circulation and slurry transport to the MVST; piping; a ventilation system; a process water system; an instrumentation and control system centered around a programmable logic controller; a video monitoring system; and auxiliary equipment. The earlier version of this plan, which was developed during the preliminary design phase of the project, identified eight scenarios in which waste from the tanks might be released to the environment as a result of unanticipated equipment failure or an accident (e.g., vehicular accident). One of those scenarios, nuclear criticality, is no longer addressed by this plan because the tank waste will be isotopically diluted before sluicing begins. The other seven scenarios have been combined into three, and a fourth, Borehole Miner Failure, has been added as follows: (1) underground release from the tanks; (2) aboveground release or spill from the sluicing system, a tank riser, or the transfer pipeline; (3) release of unfiltered air through the ventilation system; and (4) Borehole Miner arm retraction failure.

Gamma irradiation of corn stover in combination with sodium hydroxide for bioconversion of polysaccharide into protein by Pleurotus spp has also been reported. In this study experiments were designed to find out whether gamma radiation could serve both as a decontaminating agent as well as hydrolytic agent of sawdust for the bioconversion of four varieties of Pleurotus spp. Preliminary results indicate that a dose of 20kGy of gamma irradiation increase the yield of Pleurotus eous var ET-8 whilst decreasing the yield of other varieties.

Its purpose is to provide guides to good practice, update existing reference material, and discuss practical lessons learned relevant to the safe handling of plutonium. The technical rationale is given to allow US Department of Energy (DOE) health physicists to adapt the recommendations to similar situations throughout the DOE complex. Generally, DOE contractor health physicists will be responsible to implement radiation protection activities at DOE facilities and DOE health physicists will be responsible for oversight of those activities. This guidance is meant to be useful for both efforts. This TS replaces PNL-6534, Health Physics Manual of Good Practices for Plutonium Facilities, by providing more complete and current information and by emphasizing the situations that are typical of DOE's current plutonium operations; safe storage, decontamination, and decommissioning (environmental restoration); and weapons disassembly.

The estimated consumption rates are reported for three fish habitats: freshwater/estuarine fish, marine fish, and all fish. The estimates were generated from the combined 1989, 1990, and 1991 Continuing Survey of Food Intake by Individuals (CSFII), a national food consumption survey conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Point and interval estimates of per capita fish consumption were generated from the empirical distribution of daily average per capita consumption. The point estimates include the mean, 50th, 75th, 90th, 95th, and 99th percentiles. Ninety percent confidence intervals are provided for the estimated mean and 90% bootstrap intervals are provided for percentile estimates. Information in a recipe file provided by USDA was used to calculate the amount of fish in recipes which contain fish. The estimated consumption rates are based on the weight of fish in its prepared or "as consumed" condition. The estimated mean consumption rate for all fish for the U.S. population of the 48 conterminous states was 15.65 grams/person/day (C.I.: 14.67-16.63) of which 4.71 grams/person/day (C.I.:4.17-5.25) was freshwater/estuarine fish and 10.94 grams/person/day (C.I.:10.14-11.73) was marine fish.

Commonly used importance measures are defined. Some issues that have been identified as potentially limiting their usefulness are addressed, namely: there is no simple relationship between importance measures evaluated at the single component level and those evaluated at the level of a group of components, and, as a result, some of the commonly used importance measures are not realistic measures of the sensitivity of the overall risk to parameter value changes; and, importance measures do not typically take into account parameter uncertainties which raises the question of the robustness of conclusions drawn from importance analyses. The issues are explored in the context of both ranking and categorization of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) with respect to risk-significance and safety-significance for use in risk-informed regulatory analyses.

Draft environmental impact statement AN - 18160134; 4466683 AB - DOE proposes to construct and operate a Tritium Extraction Facility (TEF) at H Area on the Savannah River Site (SRS) to provide the capability to extract tritium from commercial light water reactor (CLWR) targets and from targets of similar design. An action alternative is to construct and operate TEF at the Allied General Nuclear Services facility, which is adjacent to the eastern side of the SRS. Under the no-action alternative DOE could incorporate tritium extraction capabilities in the accelerator for production of tritium should the accelerator be selected as the primary source of tritium. This EIS is linked to the Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for Tritium Supply and Recycling (DOE/EIS-0161), from which DOE determined that it would produce tritium either in an accelerator or in a commercial light water reactor. The purpose of the proposed action and alternatives evaluated in this EIS is to provide tritium extraction capability to support either tritium production technology.

Final report AN - 17659087; 4467759 AB - This report presents the findings from a study of the life cycle inventories for petroleum diesel and biodiesel. It presents information on raw materials extracted from the environment, energy resources consumed, and air, water, and solid waste emissions generated. Biodiesel is a renewable diesel fuel substitute. It can be made from a variety of natural oils and fats. Biodiesel is made by chemically combining any natural oil or fat with an alcohol such as methanol or ethanol. Methanol has been the most commonly used alcohol in the commercial production of biodiesel. In Europe, biodiesel is widely available in both its neat form (100% biodiesel, also known as B1OO) and in blends with petroleum diesel. European biodiesel is made predominantly from rapeseed oil (a cousin of canola oil). In the United States, initial interest in producing and using biodiesel has focused on the use of soybean oil as the primary feedstock mainly because the United States is the largest producer of soybean oil in the world. 170 figs., 148 tabs.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Life cycle analysis approach to D and D decision-making AN - 17655653; 4467689 AB - This paper describes a life cycle analysis (LCA) approach that makes decontamination and decommissioning (D and D) of US Department of Energy facilities more efficient and more responsive to the concerns of the society. With the considerable complexity of D and D projects and their attendant environmental and health consequences, projects can no longer be designed based on engineering and economic criteria alone. Using the LCA D and D approach, the evaluation of material disposition alternatives explicitly includes environmental impacts, health and safety impacts, socioeconomic impacts, and stakeholder attitudes -- in addition to engineering and economic criteria. Multi-attribute decision analysis is used to take into consideration the uncertainties and value judgments that are an important part of all material disposition decisions. Use of the LCA D and D approach should lead to more appropriate selections of material disposition pathways and a decision-making process that is both understandable and defensible. The methodology and procedures of the LCA D and D approach are outlined and illustrated by an application of the approach at the Department of Energy's West Valley Demonstration Project. Specifically, LCA was used to aid decisions on disposition of soil and concrete from the Tank Pad D and D Project. A decision tree and the Pollution Prevention/Waste Minimization Users Guide for Environmental Restoration Projects were used to identify possible alternatives for disposition of the soil and concrete. Eight alternatives encompassing source reduction, segregation, treatment, and disposal were defined for disposition of the soil; two alternatives were identified for disposition of the concrete. Preliminary results suggest that segregation and treatment are advantageous in the disposition of both the soil and the concrete. This and other recent applications illustrate the strength and ease of application of the LCA D and D approach.

Laboratory experiments were conducted simulating cold start of four alterative fuels (compressed natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, methanol-gasoline mix, and ethanol-gasoline mix) using a commercial three-way catalyst under fuel-lean conditions. This report summarizes the results of these experiments. It appears that temperature of the catalyst is a more important parameter for fuel conversion and pollutant formation than oxygen concentration or fuel composition.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Impact of mobile point defect clusters in a kinetic model of pressure vessel embrittlement AN - 17163842; 4467773 AB - The results of recent molecular dynamics simulations of displacement cascades in iron indicate that small interstitial clusters may have a very low activation energy for migration, and that their migration is 1-dimensional, rather than 3-dimensional. The mobility of these clusters can have a significant impact on the predictions of radiation damage models, particularly at the relatively low temperatures typical of commercial, light water reactor pressure vessels (RPV) and other out-of-core components. A previously- developed kinetic model used to investigate RPV embrittlement has been modified to permit an evaluation of the mobile interstitial clusters. Sink strengths appropriate to both 1- and 3- dimensional motion of the clusters were evaluated. High cluster mobility leads to a reduction in the amount of predicted embrittlement due to interstitial clusters since they are lost to sinks rather than building up in the microstructure. The sensitivity of the predictions to displacement rate also increases. The magnitude of this effect is somewhat reduced if the migration is 1- dimensional since the corresponding sink strengths are lower than those for 3-dimensional diffusion. The cluster mobility can also affect the evolution of copper-rich precipitates in the model since the radiation- enhanced diffusion coefficient increases due to the lower interstitial cluster sink strength. The overall impact of the modifications to the model is discussed in terms of the major irradiation variables and material parameter uncertainties.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Surveillance of Site A and Plot M report for 1997 AN - 16123300; 4467509 AB - The results of the environmental surveillance program conducted at Site A/ Plot M in the Palos Forest Preserve area for 1997 are presented. The surveillance program is the ongoing remedial action that resulted from the 1976- -1978 radiological characterization of the site. That study determined that very low levels of hydrogen- 3 (as tritiated water) had migrated from the burial ground and were present in two nearby hand- pumped picnic wells. The current program consists of sample collection and analysis of air, surface and subsurface water, and bottom sediment. The results of the analyses are used to: (1) monitor the migration pathway of water from the burial ground (Plot M) to the hand-pumped picnic wells, (2) establish if buried radionuclides other than hydrogen-3 have migrated, and (3) generally characterize the radiological environment of the area. Hydrogen-3 in the Red Gate Woods picnic wells was still detected this year, but the average and maximum concentrations were significantly less than found earlier. Tritiated water continues to be detected in a number of wells, boreholes, dolomite holes, and a surface stream. For many years it was the only radionuclide found to have migrated in measurable quantities. Analyses since 1984 have indicated the presence of low levels of strontium-90 in water from a number of boreholes next to Plot M. The available data does not allow a firm conclusion as to whether the presence of this nuclide represents recent migration or movement that may have occurred before Plot M was capped. The results of the surveillance program continue to indicate that the radioactivity remaining at Site A/Plot M does not endanger the health or safety of the public visiting the site, using the picnic area, or living in the vicinity.

The hole burning mechanism is shown to be nonphotochemical. The fluorescence excitation spectra and hole spectra are compared with those of APT in hyperquenched glassy films of water, ethanol, and methanol. The results show that the APT is in an acidic, aqueous environment with a hydrogen-bonded network similar to that of glassy water, but showing the influence of other cellular components.

This ash is hydrated and placed in an ash bury pit near the coal-fired plant. The existing ash bury pit will be full in less than 1 year at its present rate of use. This report evaluates ash reutilization alternatives that propose to eliminate this waste stream and save the $1.7 million required to build a new pit. The alternatives include using ash for landfill day cover, concrete admixture, flowable fill, soil stabilization, waste remediation, and carbon recovery technology. Both physical and chemical testing, under the guidance of the American Society for Testing and Materials, have been performed on ash from the existing pit and from different steps within the facility's processes. The test results have been evaluated, compared to commercial ash, and are discussed as they relate to reutilization alternatives. This study recommends that the ash be used in flowable fill concrete for Deactivation and Demolition work at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory.

They are located in the 100-N Area of the Hanford Site, and were used to treat and dispose of corrosive waste from a water treatment plant. Groundwater monitoring under an interim-status detection program compared indicator parameters from downgradient wells to background values established from an upgradient well. One of the indicator parameters, total organic carbon (TOC), exceeded its background value in one downgradient well, triggering an upgrade from a detection program to an assessment program. This plan presents the first phase of the assessment program.

The surveillance program is the ongoing remedial action that resulted from the 1976-1978 radiological characterization of the site. That study determined that very low levels of hydrogen-3 (as tritiated water) had migrated from the burial ground and were present in two nearby hand-pumped picnic wells. The current program consists of sample collection and analysis of air, surface and subsurface water, and bottom sediment. The results of the analyses are used to: (1) monitor the migration pathway of water from the burial ground (Plot M) to the hand-pumped picnic wells, (2) establish if buried radionuclides other than hydrogen-3 have migrated, and (3) generally characterize the radiological environment of the area. Hydrogen-3 in the Red Gate Woods picnic wells was still detected this year, but the average and maximum concentrations were significantly less than found earlier. Tritiated water continues to be detected in a number of wells, boreholes, dolomite holes, and a surface stream. For many years it was the only radionuclide found to have migrated in measurable quantities. Analyses since 1984 have indicated the presence of low levels of strontium-90 in water from a number of boreholes next to Plot M. The available data does not allow a firm conclusion as to whether the presence of this nuclide represents recent migration or movement that may have occurred before Plot M was capped. The results of the surveillance program continue to indicate that the radioactivity remaining at Site A/Plot M does not endanger the health or safety of the public visiting the site, using the picnic area, or living in the vicinity.

Waste may be treated or stored in one of the HWM facility units prior to shipment off site for treatment or disposal. Planned facilities such as the Decontamination and Waste Treatment Facility (DWTF) and the Building 280 Container Storage Unit are expected to handle similar waste streams. A hazard classification was performed in each facility safety analysis report (SAR) according to the DOE Standard 1027-92 "Hazard Categorization and Accident Analysis Techniques for Compliance with DOE Order 5480.23, Nuclear Safety Analysis Reports". The general methodology practiced by HWM to determine alternate airborne release fractions (ARFs) in those SARs was based upon a beyond evaluation basis earthquake accident scenario characterized by the release of the largest amount of respirable, airborne radioactive material. The alternate ARF was calculated using a three-factor formula consisting of the fraction of failed waste containers, fraction of material released from failed waste containers, and the fraction of material entrained to the environment. Recently, in deliberation with DOE-Oakland representatives, HWM decided to modify this methodology. In place of the current detailed analysis, a more straightforward process was proposed based upon material form, credible accident environments, and empirical data. This paper will discuss the methodology and derivation of ARFs specific to HWM treatment and storage facilities that are alternative to those presented in DOE-STD-1027-92.

With the considerable complexity of D and D projects and their attendant environmental and health consequences, projects can no longer be designed based on engineering and economic criteria alone. Using the LCA D and D approach, the evaluation of material disposition alternatives explicitly includes environmental impacts, health and safety impacts, socioeconomic impacts, and stakeholder attitudes -- in addition to engineering and economic criteria. Multi-attribute decision analysis is used to take into consideration the uncertainties and value judgments that are an important part of all material disposition decisions. Use of the LCA D and D approach should lead to more appropriate selections of material disposition pathways and a decision-making process that is both understandable and defensible. The methodology and procedures of the LCA D and D approach are outlined and illustrated by an application of the approach at the Department of Energy's West Valley Demonstration Project. Specifically, LCA was used to aid decisions on disposition of soil and concrete from the Tank Pad D and D Project. A decision tree and the Pollution Prevention/Waste Minimization Users Guide for Environmental Restoration Projects were used to identify possible alternatives for disposition of the soil and concrete. Eight alternatives encompassing source reduction, segregation, treatment, and disposal were defined for disposition of the soil; two alternatives were identified for disposition of the concrete. Preliminary results suggest that segregation and treatment are advantageous in the disposition of both the soil and the concrete. This and other recent applications illustrate the strength and ease of application of the LCA D and D approach.

The sorbent IONSIV (super R) IE-911, a crystalline silicotitanate manufactured by UOP, was recently tested in this capacity and found to compare extremely well against the baseline material in removing (super 90) Sr and (super 137) Cs from process wastewater. This paper presents results of similar column tests performed using both materials, as well as results from batch experiments on actual wastewaters using IONSIV (super R) IE-911.

Treatment technologies are being developed as alternatives to processing for the ultimate disposition of Al SNF in the geologic repository. One technology, called Direct/Co-disposal of Al SNF, would place the SNF into a canister ready for disposal in a waste package, with or without canisters containing high-level radioactive waste glass logs, in the repository. The Al SNF would be transferred from wet storage and would need to be dried in the Al SNF canister. The moisture content inside the Al SNF canister is limited to avoid excessive Al SNF corrosion and hydrogen buildup during interim storage before disposal. A vacuum drying process was proposed to dry the Al SNF in a canister. There are two major concerns for the vacuum drying process. One is water inside the canister could become frozen during the vacuum drying process and the other one is the detection of dryness inside the canister. A vacuum drying test program using a mock SNF assembly was conducted to demonstrate feasibility of drying the Al SNF in a canister. These tests also served as a check-out of the drying apparatus for future tests in which irradiated fuel would be loaded into a canister under water followed by drying for storage.

Annual report, October 1, 1996--September 30, 1997 AN - 18165766; 4465607 AB - Wells in the Bluebell field are typically completed by perforating 40 or more beds over 1,000 to 3,000 vertical ft, them stimulating the entire interval with hydrochloric acid. This technique is often referred to as the shot gun completion. The shot-gun technique is believed to leave many potentially productive beds damaged and/or untreated, while allowing water-bearing and low-pressure (thief) zones to communicate with the wellbore. A two-year characterization study involved detailed examination of outcrop, core, well logs, surface and subsurface fractures, produced oil-field waters, engineering parameters of the two demonstration wells, and analysis of past completion techniques and effectiveness. The study was intended to improve the geologic characterization of the producing formations and thereby develop completion techniques specific to the producing beds or facies instead of a shot gun approach to stimulating all the beds. The characterization did not identify predictable- facies or predictable-fracture trends within the vertical stratigraphic column as originally hoped. Advanced logging techniques can identify productive beds in individual wells. A field- demonstration program was developed to use cased- hole advanced logging techniques in two wells and recompletion the wells at two different scales based on the logging. The first well was going to be completed at the interval scale using a multiple stage completion technique (about 500 ft per stage). The second well will be recompleted at the bed-scale using bridge plug and packer to isolate three or more beds for stimulation. These recompletion will show which logs are most effective in identifying productive beds and what scale of completion is most cost effective. The third demonstration will be the logging and completion of a new well using the logs and completion scale or technique most effective in the previous demonstrations.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-03-24 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Cooling tower waste reduction AN - 17661522; 4467687 AB - At Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), the two main cooling tower systems (central and northwest) were upgraded during the summer of 1997 to reduce the generation of hazardous waste. In 1996, these two tower systems generated approximately 135,400 lbs (61,400 kg) of hazardous sludge, which is more than 90 percent of the hazardous waste for the site annually. At both, wet decks (cascade reservoirs) were covered to block sunlight. Covering the cascade reservoirs reduced the amount of chemical conditioners (e.g. algaecide and biocide), required and in turn the amount of waste generated was reduced. Additionally, at the northwest cooling tower system, a sand filtration system was installed to allow cyclical filtering and backflushing, and new pumps, piping, and spray nozzles were installed to increase agitation. the appurtenance upgrade increased the efficiency of the cooling towers. The sand filtration system at the northwest cooling tower system enables operators to continuously maintain the cooling tower water quality without taking the towers out of service. Operational costs (including waste handling and disposal) and maintenance activities are compared for the cooling towers before and after upgrades. Additionally, the effectiveness of the sand filter system in conjunction with the wet deck covers (northwest cooling tower system), versus the cascade reservoir covers alone (south cooling tower south) is discussed. the overall expected return on investment is calculated to be in excess of 250 percent. this upgrade has been incorporated into the 1998 DOE complex-wide water conservation project being led by Sandia National Laboratory /Albuquerque.

In particular, CST has been successfully demonstrated with both simulants and actual supernates from Savannah River and Hanford tank wastes. As a disposal option, vitrification of the cesium- loaded CST coupled with High-Level Waste (HLW) has been proposed. However, the CST sorbent contains significant quantities of titanium which historically have been difficult to incorporate into the glass structure. Therefore, nonradioactive tests using CST coupled with simulated HLW were performed to develop a glass formulation that would be both processable and durable. The results of the simulated crucible melts were verified using radioactive waste and cesium-loaded CST. This paper details the results of the formulation efforts.

The study supports the Corrective Measures Study and Interim Action Plan regulatory documents for the Old Radioactive Waste Burial Ground (ORWBG). Modeling scenarios were designed to provide data for an economic analysis of alternatives, and subsequently evaluate the effectiveness of the selected remedial technologies for tritium reduction to surface waters. Scenarios assessed include no action, vertical and surface barriers, pump-treat-reinject, and vertical recirculation wells. The complex heterogeneity of the sediments, along with characterization data, and tritium contaminant source data required a three- dimensional model be developed in order to accurately illustrate the size, shape and orientation of the plume. Results demonstrate that the shallow confining zone in the region controls the migration path of the plume. The size and shape of the plume were modeled in three- dimensions using detailed core, geophysical and cone-penetrometer data, depth-discrete contaminant data, monitoring well data, and seepline/surface water samples. Three-dimensional tritium plume maps were created for the >20,000, >500 and >50 pCi/ml concentration levels. The three-dimensional plume maps and volumetric calculations indicate that 63 percent of the total activity and 12 percent of the volume above 50 pCi/ml resides in a layer less than 6-m thick riding on top of the shallow confining zone.

This guidance considers the effects that the chemistry of the vault disposal system may have on radionuclide release. The geochemistry of pore waters buffered by cementitious materials in the disposal system will be different from the local ground water. Therefore, the cement-buffered environment needs to be considered within the source term calculations if credit is taken for solubility limits and/or sorption of dissolved radionuclides within disposal units. A literature review was conducted on methods to model pore- water compositions resulting from reactions with cement, experimental studies of cement/water systems, natural analogue studies of cement and concrete, and radionuclide solubilities experimentally determined in cement pore waters. Based on this review, geochemical modeling was used to calculate maximum concentrations for americium, neptunium, nickel, plutonium, radium, strontium, thorium, and uranium for pore-water compositions buffered by cement and local ground- water. Another literature review was completed on radionuclide sorption behavior onto 'fresh' cement/concrete where the pore water pH will be equal to or greater than 10. Based on this review, a radionculides in cement/concrete environments.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-03-24 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - A trajectory-clustering-correlation methodology for examining the long-range transport of air pollutants AN - 17237748; 4517554 AB - We present a robust methodology for examining the relationship between synoptic-scale atmospheric transport patterns and pollutant concentration levels observed at a site. Our approach entails calculating a large number of back-trajectories from the observational site over a long period of time and subjecting them to cluster analysis. The short-term component (weather-related variations) of the pollutant concentration time-series data is segregated according to the back-trajectory clusters. Non-parametric statistics are then used to test for "significant" differences in the chemical composition of pollutant data associated with each cluster. Additional information about the spatial and temporal scales of pollutant transport is obtained from the time-lagged inter-site correlation analysis of ozone for a specific cluster. To illustrate the application of this methodology, we examined 5 yr long time-series data of ozone concentrations measured at Whiteface Mountain, NY, Cliffside Park, NJ, and Quabbin Summit, MA. The results provide evidence of ozone transport to these sites, revealing the spatial and temporal scales involved in the transport.

Inservice inspection (ISI) is one of the mechanisms used by the power plant owners to ensure piping integrity. Previously, the type and frequency of ISI have been based on the collective best judgment of the NRC and industry in a consensus code and rulemaking process. The ASME code-based ISI requirements and practices have not explicitly taken into consideration unique aspects of piping functions, piping degradation mechanisms, weld integrity, fabrication details, and the extent of the contribution to overall plant risk. Due to the general nature of the ASME code ISI requirements and non-reliance on quantification of risk estimates, current ISI requirements may unnecessarily emphasize inspection of less safety-significant piping segments, and thereby unnecessarily expose plant personnel to radiation exposure. Nuclear power plant owners are currently interested in optimizing inspection and testing by applying resources in more safety-significant areas. They are also interested in maintaining system availability and reducing overall maintenance costs which do not have any adverse effects on safety. The NRC has confirmed its intent of using probabilistic, as an adjunct to deterministic, technique, to help define the scope, type, and frequency of ISI. The development of risk-informed inservice inspection programs (RI-ISI) has the potential to optimize the use of NRC and industry resources and to continue assuring adequate protection of the public's health and safety.

These deep drainage rates may eventually be used to predict contaminant loading to the underlying unconfined aquifer for the Pantex Plant Baseline Risk Assessment. These rates will also be used to support analyses of remedial activities involving surface alterations or the subsurface injection withdrawal of liquids or gases. The scope of this report is to estimate deep drainage rates for the major surface features at the Pantex Plant, including ditches and playas, natural grassland, dryland crop rotation, unvegetated soil, and graveled surfaces. All estimates were derived using existing data or best estimates; no new data were collected. The modeling framework used to estimate the rates is described to enable future correlations, improvements, and enhancements. The scope of this report includes only data gathered during FY 1996. However, a current review of the data gathered on weather, soil, plants, and other information in the time period since did not reveal anything that would significantly alter the results presented in this report.

N1 - Last updated - 2014-05-06 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Radioactive Demonstration of Caustic Recovery from Low-Level Alkaline Nuclear Waste by an Electrochemical Separation Process AN - 17579678; 4467148 AB - Bench-scale radioactive tests successfully demonstrated an electrochemical process for the recovery of sodium hydroxide (caustic) from Decontaminated Salt Solution produced from the In- Tank Precipitation and Effluent Treatment Processes at the Savannah River Site (SRS). This testing evaluated two membranes: an organic-based membrane, Nafion Type 350, manufactured by E. I. duPont de Nemours (ampersand) Company, Inc. (DuPont) and an inorganic-based membrane, NAS D, being developed by Ceramatec. Both membranes successfully separated caustic from radioactive SRS waste.Key findings of the testing indicate the following attributes and disadvantages of each membrane. The commercially-available Nafion membrane proved highly conductive. Thus, the electrochemical cell can operate at high current density minimizing the number of cells at the desired volumetric processing rate. Testing indicated cesium transported across the Nafion membrane into the caustic product. Therefore, the caustic product will contain low-levels of radioactive cesium due to the presence of (sup 134,137)Cs in the waste feed. To meet customer requirements, a post treatment stage may prove necessary to remove radioactive cesium resulting in increased overall process costs and decreased cost savings. In contrast to the Nafion membrane, the NAS D membrane demonstrated the production of caustic with much lower levels of gamma radioactivity ((sup 137)Cs activity was (lt) 51 dpm/g). Therefore, the caustic product could possibly release for onsite/offsite use without further treatment. The NAS D membrane remains in the development stage and does not exist as a commercial product. Operating costs and long-term membrane durability remain unknown.Caustic recovery has been successfully demonstrated in a bench-scale, 2-compartment electrochemical reactor operated for brief periods of time with simulated and radioactive waste solutions and two different types of membranes. The next phase of testing should be directed at (1) demonstrating caustic recovery in pilot-scale equipment and (2) determining membrane and other cell component performance over an extended period of time (minimum of 1000 hours). This information is necessary to verify key criteria which will be used to perform facility design and cost evaluations.

Second-year status report AN - 18165292; 4465513 AB - The Greening of the Department of Energy Headquarters is a comprehensive, multi-year project designed to identify and implement specific actions DOE can take to save energy and money, improve the comfort and productivity of employees, and benefit the environment. It is part of the Administration's overall effort to promote greening in all of the nation's federal buildings. Present Clinton started the Greening of the White House in 1993, and similar efforts have been undertaken by the Department of Defense at the Pentagon, the National Park Service at the Presidio, and now the Department of Energy at the Forrestal and Germantown buildings. The Greening of the Department of Energy Headquarters, An Action Plan for Success (Action Plan), unveiled on April 22, 1996, outlined more than 80 action items for DOE's Forrestal and Germantown buildings. The action items were designed to increase energy efficiency, improve resource management, improve air quality, reduce water use, reduce paper use, improve landscape management, improve maintenance and operational procedures, increase employee participation, and promote education and outreach. In the two years since the Action Plan was introduced, the Department of Energy has made major progress in implementing specific action items designed to target four major subject areas: (1) Energy Efficiency; (2) Resource Management; (3) Air, Water, Landscape, and (4) Human Factors. This report outlines the status of the recommendations of the Action Plan since they were introduced two years ago.

AN - 79754477; 9525424 AB - We describe the application of a computer code developed to analyze data from a series of in situ gamma spectrometry measurements on a grid. The code was designed to be used as a tool when evaluating compliance with regulations that set limits on the size and magnitude of elevated activity areas (also known as "hot spots"). It calculates location and magnitude of potential elevated activity areas consistent with the data, and for each potential elevated area it generates a corresponding distribution of radionuclides in the soil. The algorithm uses a maximum entropy deconvolution of the data, followed by further analysis. A test case using data from actual field measurements is presented.

The objective of the planned activities is to obtain sufficient characterization data for the crater soils and observed wastes under the conditions of the current Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Part A permit. The scope of the characterization plan includes collecting surface and subsurface soil samples with hand augers and for the purpose of site characterization. The sampling strategy is to characterize the study area soils and look for RCRA constituents. Observable waste soils and surrounding crater soils will be analyzed and evaluated according to RCRA closure criteria. Because of the status of the crater a RCRA Part A permit site, acquired radionuclide analyses will only be evaluated in regards to the health and safety of site workers and the disposition of wastes generated during site characterization. The U-2bu Subsidence Crater was created in 1971 by a Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory underground nuclear test, event name Miniata, and was used as a land-disposal unit for radioactive and hazardous waste from 1973 to 1988.

Between 1964 and 1970, two nuclear and two non-nuclear gas explosions were conducted deep underground in the Tatum Salt Dome beneath the site. The tests were performed as part of the former US Atomic Energy Commission's Vela Uniform Program which was conducted to improve the United States' capability to detect underground nuclear explosions. This document details technical changes to the existing work plan for the remedial investigation of the Salmon Site. A previously conducted Remedial Investigation for the Salmon Site involved the preparation of ecological and human health risk assessments. These risk assessments, which are incorporated into the Remedial Investigation Report, identified several constituents of potential concern (COPC) that could potentially have a negative impact on ecological and human health. These COPC are the primary risk drivers for the Salmon Site; they include arsenic and naturally occurring, gamma-emitting radionuclides. If it can be demonstrated that similar concentrations of these COPCs occur naturally in surrounding areas, they can be removed from consideration in the risk assessments. The purpose of this sampling effort is to collect enough data to prove that the COPCs are naturally occurring and are not a result of the explosives testing activities conducted at the site. This will be accomplished by collecting enough soil samples to have a statistically valid population that can be used to produce defensible comparisons that prove the concentrations identified on site are the same as the background concentrations in surrounding areas.

These rates will also be used to support analyses of remedial activities involving surface alterations or the subsurface injection withdrawal of liquids or gases. The scope of this report is to estimate deep drainage rates for the major surface features at the Pantex Plant, including ditches and playas, natural grassland, dryland crop rotation, unvegetated soil, and graveled surfaces. All estimates were derived using existing data or best estimates; no new data were collected. The modeling framework used to estimate the rates is described to enable future correlations, improvements, and enhancements. The scope of this report includes only data gathered during FY 1996. However, a current review of the data gathered on weather, soil, plants, and other information in the time period since did not reveal anything that would significantly alter the results presented in this report.

The Fernald waste has been transported to the Nevada Test Site and disposed in the Area 5 Radioactive Waste Management Site (RWMS) since 1993. A separate DOE investigation of the incident established that the waste has been buried in stress-fractured metal boxes, and some of the waste contained excess moisture (high-volumetric water contents). The Independent Panel was charged with determining whether disposition of this waste in the Area 5 RWMS has impacted the conclusions of a previously completed performance assessment in which the site was judged to meet required performance objectives. To assess the performance impact on Area 5, the panel members developed a series of questions. The three areas addressed in these questions were (1) reduced container integrity, (2) the impact of reduced container integrity on subsidence of waste in the disposal pits and (3) excess moisture in the waste. The panel has concluded that there is no performance impact from reduced container integrity--no performance is allocated to the container in the conservative assumptions used in performance assessment. Similarly, the process controlling post-closure subsidence results primarily from void space within and between containers, and the container is assumed to degrade and collapse within 100 years.

Monitoring will consist of spectral gamma ray logging of 21 boreholes. This plan describes the physical characteristics of the facilities, their operational histories, the subsurface geology and known contamination distribution at each facility. The plan then describes the specific monitoring to be done including the boreholes to be logged, the methods of data acquisition, data reduction, and data evaluation, and finally, the quality control, data management and data reporting for this effort. The three liquid waste disposal facilities at the Z Plant were chosen to be monitored because they were identified as containing some of the most significant sources of radioactive contamination in the Hanford vadose zone. Johnson's analysis was based on the relative hazard obtained by combining curie quantities disposed to the facilities with appropriate health risk standards. The basic question to be addressed by this logging activity addresses the configuration of subsurface contamination since it was last measured. Historical data from the 216-Z-1A Tile Field, the 216-Z-9 Trench, and the 216-Z-12 Crib form the baseline for comparisons to answer this question.

Phase 1 is part of the TWRS program that was established to manage, retrieve, treat, immobilize, and dispose of high-level waste stored in underground tanks at the Hanford Site. This evaluation is to determine which wells will remain active within the demonstration site based on regulatory, programmatic, or other beneficial use requirements. An initial evaluation of wells within the demonstration site was conducted in 1996. However, changes in construction plans and expansion of the demonstration site necessitated a reevaluation and reclassification of the wells that are within the expanded site. Impacted wells include many of those previously evaluated as well as additional wells identified in or near the expansion areas. Thirty-three wells exist within and immediately adjacent to the identified boundary of the proposed demonstration site. The wells identified for decommissioning will be abandoned according to the well decommissioning plan. Future well requirements within the site include replacement wells for those wells impacted by construction activities, replacements for Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) wells going dry, and a new characterization well installed to support a TWRS Phase 2 site assessment.

The CAIP is a document that provides or references all of the specific information for investigation activities associated with Corrective Action Units (CAUs) or Corrective Action Sites (CASs). According to the FFACO (1996), CASs are sites potentially requiring corrective action(s) and may include solid waste management units or individual disposal or release sites. CAUs consist of one or more CASs grouped together based on geography, technical similarity, or agency responsibility for the purpose of determining corrective actions. This CAIP contains the environmental sample collection objectives and the criteria for conducting site investigation activities at CAU No. 407, the Roller Coaster RADSAFE Area (RCRSA) which is located on the Tonopah Test Range (TTR). The TTR, included in the Nellis Air Force Range Complex, is approximately 255 km (140 mi) northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. CAU No. 407 is comprised of only one CAS (TA-23-001-TARC). The RCRSA was used during May and June 1963 to decontaminate vehicles, equipment, and personnel from the Clean Slate tests. The surface and subsurface soils are likely to have been impacted by plutonium and other contaminants of potential concern (COPCs) associated with decontamination activities at this site. The purpose of the corrective action investigation described in this CAIP is to: identify the presence and nature of COPCs; determine the vertical and lateral extent of COPCs; and provide sufficient information and data to develop and evaluate appropriate corrective actions for the CAS.

Twelve 6-cm long tubes containing 0.4 g of Carboxen-564 (20/45 mesh) are housed within the light-weight battery-powered Polyport unit. Carboxen-564 a hydrophobic beaded carbon molecular sieve (BCMS) material efficiently adsorbs airborne super(222)Rn under dynamic sampling conditions of 1 - 2 h duration. The exposed sorbent is later weighed for water uptake, transferred and counted in a low background liquid scintillation (LS) counter that can detect alpha and beta emitting super(222)Rn progeny with a maximum counting efficiency of 5 cpm per dpm. Each sorbent tube can be gamma counted if it contains sufficient adsorbed super(214)Pb and super(214)Bi activity. The variables tested were sampling flow rate, temperature, sampling time and relative humidity (RH). At standard temperature and pressure (STP) and an optimum sampling flow rate of 5 L h super(-1), the sorbent's super(222)Rn collection efficiency dropped from 58% to 15% as the RH increased from 20% to 80%. A single calibration curve was developed to estimate the super(222)Rn collection efficiency, based on data obtained from the amounts of both super(222)Rn and water vapor adsorbed by the BCMS material over a 20 degree C to 35 degree C temperature range. This calibration curve was used in two field tests and the hourly super(222)Rn levels were compared with the levels obtained using the EML Radometer, an alternative super(222)Rn measuring device. The minimum detectable super(222)Rn concentration at STP for both a 1 h Polyport sample and a 1 h LS count was about 2 Bq m super(-3) (0.12 pCi L super(-1)) at 20% RH, based on an optimum sampling flow rate of 5 L h super(-1), 58% collection efficiency, and 6 mBq lower limit of detection of the LS measurement.

Between 1964 and 1970, two nuclear and two non-nuclear gas explosions were conducted deep underground in the Tatum Salt Dome beneath the site. The tests were performed as part of the former US Atomic Energy Commission's Vela Uniform Program which was conducted to improve the United States' capability to detect underground nuclear explosions. This document details technical changes to the existing work plan for the remedial investigation of the Salmon Site. A previously conducted Remedial Investigation for the Salmon Site involved the preparation of ecological and human health risk assessments. These risk assessments, which are incorporated into the Remedial Investigation Report, identified several constituents of potential concern (COPC) that could potentially have a negative impact on ecological and human health. These COPC are the primary risk drivers for the Salmon Site; they include arsenic and naturally occurring, gamma-emitting radionuclides. If it can be demonstrated that similar concentrations of these COPCs occur naturally in surrounding areas, they can be removed from consideration in the risk assessments. The purpose of this sampling effort is to collect enough data to prove that the COPCs are naturally occurring and are not a result of the explosives testing activities conducted at the site. This will be accomplished by collecting enough soil samples to have a statistically valid population that can be used to produce defensible comparisons that prove the concentrations identified on site are the same as the background concentrations in surrounding areas.

Currently, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission sponsors a large ongoing project, the Accident Sequence Precursor project, to analyze the safety significance of other types of accident precursors, such as those arising from internally- initiated transients and pipe breaks, but earthquakes and fires are not within the current scope. The results of this project are that (1) an overall step-by-step methodology has been developed for precursors to both fire-initiated and seismic-initiated potential accidents; (2) some stylized case-study examples are provided to demonstrate how the fully-developed methodology works in practice, and (3) a generic seismic- fragility data base for equipment is provided for use in seismic-precursor analyses.

The site is bordered to the east and south by a tributary that empties into Melton Branch Creek and that contains significant concentrations of radioactive contaminants, primarily (sup 90)Sr. Because of the proximity of the tributary to the HRE disposal site and the probable flow of groundwater from the site to the tributary, it is hypothesized that the HRE Pond is a source of contamination to the creek. As a means for temporary containment of contaminants within the impoundment, a cryogenic barrier technology demonstration was initiated in FY96 with a background hydrologic investigation that continued through FY97. Cryogenic equipment installation was completed in FY97, and freezing was initiated in September of 1997. This report documents the results of a hydrologic and geologic investigation of the HRE Pond /cryogenic barrier site. The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the hydrologic conditions within and around the impoundment in order to meet the following objectives: (1) to provide a pre- barrier subsurface hydrologic baseline for post-barrier performance assessment; (2) to confirm that the impoundment is hydraulically connected to the surrounding sediments; and (3) to determine the likely contaminant exit pathways from the impoundment. The methods of investigation included water level and temperature monitoring in a network of wells and standpipes in and surrounding the impoundment, a helium tracer test conducted under ambient flow conditions, and geologic logging during the drilling of boreholes for installation of cryogenic probes and temperature monitoring wells.

During this year a team was engaged representing five Laboratory divisions and a range of expertise including atmospheric and hydrologic modeling, software design, mathematics, geographic information systems (GIS), geology, and urban planning. One major part of the pilot project was to link regional atmospheric modeling with ground water models in order to assess vulnerability of urban water supplies to climate change. Another part of the pilot project was to model the transport of an airborne toxic gas, including effects of buildings on air flow, and to link this to traffic simulations for effective emergency response. Other activities were to establish connections with potential collaborators and funding agencies, as well as highlighting the project through presentations at professional meetings.

N1 - Last updated - 2014-05-07 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Disposal criticality analysis methodology for fissile waste forms AN - 17663790; 4467757 AB - A general methodology has been developed to evaluate the criticality potential of the wide range of waste forms planned for geologic disposal. The range of waste forms include commercial spent fuel, high level waste, DOE spent fuel (including highly enriched), MOX using weapons grade plutonium, and immobilized plutonium. The disposal of these waste forms will be in a container with sufficiently thick corrosion resistant barriers to prevent water penetration for up to 10,000 years. The criticality control for DOE spent fuel is primarily provided by neutron absorber material incorporated into the basket holding the individual assemblies. For the immobilized plutonium, the neutron absorber material is incorporated into the waste form itself. The disposal criticality analysis methodology includes the analysis of geochemical and physical processes that can breach the waste package and affect the waste forms within. The basic purpose of the methodology is to guide the criticality control features of the waste package design, and to demonstrate that the final design meets the criticality control licensing requirements. The methodology can also be extended to the analysis of criticality consequences (primarily increased radionuclide inventory), which will support the total performance assessment for the respository.

The mission of the Transuranic Waste Inspectable Storage Project (TWISP) is to retrieve, vent, and place these containers into an inspectable storage configuration in compliance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, prior to final disposition at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. Significant hazards currently identified with TWISP activities include: (1) the pressurization of drums; (2) volatilization of organic compounds (VOCs) within the drums; and (3) the generation of elevated hydrogen levels by certain waste streams. Based on the retrieval of 15% of the waste containers, the following preliminary conclusions are presented to better protect personnel and the environment: (1) the likelihood of unvented drums becoming pressurized increases when environmental conditions change; (2) pressurized drums must be vented before they become bulging drums; (3) vented drums present the potential for VOC emissions and personnel exposure; (4) the vapor pressure and boiling points of waste stream constituents may be an indication of the likelihood of VOC emissions from stored hazardous waste containers; (5) large numbers of co-located vented drums may present the potential of increased hydrogen and VOC concentrations within unventilated storage domes; (6) monitoring and sampling vented drum storage domes is necessary to ensure that the levels of risk to drum handlers and inspection personnel are acceptable; (7) identifying, tagging, and segregating special case drums is necessary to prevent personnel overexposures and preclude environmental contamination; (8) applying rust inhibitor prolongs the useful life of waste containers stored under earthen cover; (9) acoustic drum pressure detection may be a viable tool in assessing elevated drum pressures.

Published data have been evaluated as the input parameters that are used in the simulation of the fate and transport processes. A one-dimensional model developed for screening agricultural pesticides was modified and used to simulate the appearance of a surface flux above a buried landmine and estimate the subsurface total concentration. The physical chemical properties of TNT cause a majority of the mass released to the soil system to be bound to the solid phase soil particles. The majority of the transport occurs in the liquid phase with diffusion and evaporation driven advection of soil water as the primary mechanisms for the flux to the ground surface. The simulations provided in this report should only be used for initial conceptual designs of chemical pre-concentration subsystems or complete detection systems. The physical processes modeled required necessary simplifying assumptions to allow for analytical solutions.

As part of these efforts, a removal action is planned for the former YS-860 Firing Ranges as described in the Action Memorandum for the project. This removal action work plan (RmAWP) is focused on the former YS-860 Firing Ranges, located outside the primary fenceline at the eastern end of the plant. This RmAWP defines the technical approach, procedures, and requirements for the removal of lead- contaminated soil and site restoration of the former YS-860 Firing Ranges at the Y-12 Plant. This RmAWP describes excavation, verification/confirmatory sampling, and reporting requirements for the project. Lower tier plans associated with the RmAWP, which are submitted as separate stand-alone documents, include a field sampling and analysis plan, a health and safety plan, a quality assurance project plan, a waste management plan, a data management implementation plan, and a best management practices plan. A site evaluation of the YS-86O Firing Ranges conducted in 1996 by Lockheed Martin Energy Systems, Inc., determined that elevated lead levels were present in the Firing Ranges target berm soils. The results of this sampling event form the basis for the removal action recommendation as described in the Action Memorandum for this project. This RmAWP contains a brief history and description of the Former YS-860 Firing Ranges Project, along with the current project schedule and milestones. This RmAWP also provides an overview of the technical requirements of the project, including a summary of the approach for the removal activities. Finally, the RmAWP identifies the regulatory requirements and the appropriate removal action responses to address applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements to achieve the project goals of substantially reducing the risk to human health and the environment.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - High-level waste program integration within the DOE complex AN - 16131161; 4467353 AB - Eleven major Department of Energy (DOE) site contractors were chartered by the Assistant Secretary to use a systems engineering approach to develop and evaluate technically defensible cost savings opportunities across the complex. Known as the complex-wide Environmental Management Integration (EMI), this process evaluated all the major DOE waste streams including high level waste (HLW). Across the DOE complex, this waste stream has the highest life cycle cost and is scheduled to take until at least 2035 before all HLW is processed for disposal. Technical contract experts from the four DOE sites that manage high level waste participated in the integration analysis: Hanford, Savannah River Site (SRS), Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL), and West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP). In addition, subject matter experts from the Yucca Mountain Project and the Tanks Focus Area participated in the analysis. Also, departmental representatives from the US Department of Energy Headquarters (DOE-HQ) monitored the analysis and results. Workouts were held throughout the year to develop recommendations to achieve a complex-wide integrated program. From this effort, the HLW Environmental Management (EM) Team identified a set of programmatic and technical opportunities that could result in potential cost savings and avoidance in excess of $18 billion and an accelerated completion of the HLW mission by seven years. The cost savings, schedule improvements, and volume reduction are attributed to a multifaceted HLW treatment disposal strategy which involves waste pretreatment, standardized waste matrices, risk-based retrieval, early development and deployment of a shipping system for glass canisters, and reasonable, low cost tank closure.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-03-24 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Synopsis of recent moisture flux analyses relevant to the unsaturated zone at Area G AN - 16126328; 4467355 AB - This report summarizes selected recent analyses relevant to the assessment of the site performance for disposal facilities at Los Alamos (Area G) regarding unsaturated zone transport of moisture in liquid and vapor phases and the surface water balance. Much of the analyses methods have been reported previously but in several separate and detailed reports. These do not always reflect the overview possible with hindsight. The present report is an attempt to integrate the author's previous results into a cohesive whole. Due to project time constraints, this report is incomplete in some areas. This report first reviews the basis for the Darcy flux analyses and its inherent uncertainties, as detailed in previous reports. Results from the previous works are then reviewed and discussed and in some cases, elaborated in an attempt for clarification. New results of the Darcy Flux Analyses are presented and discussed for Area G mesa top locations, nearby canyon locations and a second mesa top location (TA46 west of Area G). Select evapotranspiration and precipitation data from TA6 are presented and discussed. The conclusions section draws a picture of the hydrology which unifies the study results reported here and in previous reports for the undisturbed and disturbed site locations.

N1 - Last updated - 2014-05-07 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Enhancing environmental restoration predictive modeling in undersampled environments AN - 18150678; 4467704 AB - New computational physics methods for estimating constitutive property parameterizations in ground water aquifers were developed and demonstrated in this project. The dynamical and statistical axioms of physics, embodied in partial differential equations (PDES) of kinetic theory, are employed to constrain interpolations of hydraulic head (pressure) and transmissivity (permeability) between sparsely measured datum points. These methods can apparently be applied in numerous approaches to parameter estimation. To demonstrate the basic concepts and techniques developed in this work, examples are considered for steady-state, two-dimensional, heterogeneous, ground water flow models, given (i) discrete borehole observations of hydraulic head and transmissivity and (ii) governing kinetic equations for Darcy flow behavior. Estimations of spatially dependent parameters from sparsely measured data are treated as mathematically ill- posed problems because infinitely many parameter distributions (realizations) that are consistent with the data generally exist. Potential difficulties associated with ill-posedness in mean flow realizations are mitigated by requiring that acceptable realizations respect the observed data, are solutions of forward and inverse PDEs for physical continuity, respect information sampling principles, and are distributed by spatial interpolations that themselves are optimal solutions of the governing PDEs between measured datum points. To accomplish these requisites, adaptive numerical grid Galerkin techniques were applied in a novel manner-one that calibrates (constrains) the forward and inverse PDE solutions to assume the observed values of head and transmissivity at measurement locations, while also interpolating the PDE solutions between the measurement locations with basis functions, optimizations, and adaptive grids that are indigenous to Galerkin methods. Long-standing problems associated with data sampling and noise were mitigated by introducing and solving additional regularizing PDEs that, in effect, spatially filter data interpolations simultaneously with the solution of data- constrained forward and inverse flow PDES, commensurate with information sampling and signal processing principles. Applications of these estimation techniques to synthetic data sets with known analytic solutions demonstrate attainable accuracy levels of the techniques in challenging problems and, more importantly, provide examples of the genuine effects of data undersampling, which is always an important factor in actual practice. Finally, practical realizations of aquifer transmissivity are computed for a field data set obtained in Superfund cleanup activities at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's Livermore Site.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-03-24 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Technologies for water resources management: an integrated approach to manage global and regional water resources AN - 17657817; 4466513 AB - Recent droughts in California have highlighted and refocused attention on the problem of providing reliable sources of water to sustain the State's future economic development. Specific elements of concern include not only the stability and availability of future water supplies in the State, but also how current surface and groundwater storage and distribution systems may be more effectively managed and upgraded, how treated wastewater may be more widely recycled, and how legislative and regulatory processes may be used or modified to address conflicts between advocates of urban growth, industrial, agricultural, and environmental concerns. California is not alone with respect to these issues. They are clearly relevant throughout the West, and are becoming more so in other parts of the US. They have become increasingly important in developing and highly populated nations such as China, India, and Mexico. They are critically important in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, especially as they relate to regional stability and security issues. Indeed, in almost all cases, there are underlying themes of 'reliability' and 'sustainability' that pertain to the assurance of current and future water supplies, as well as a broader set of 'stability' and 'security' issues that relate to these assurances--or lack thereof-- to the political and economic future of various countries and regions. In this latter sense, and with respect to regions such as China, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, water resource issues may take on a very serious strategic nature, one that is most illustrative and central to the emerging notion of 'environmental security.' In this report, we have identified a suite of technical tools that, when developed and integrated together, may prove effective in providing regional governments the ability to manage their water resources. Our goal is to formulate a framework for an Integrated Systems Analysis (ISA): As a strategic planning tool for managing regional water resources; As an evaluation tool for selecting appropriate remediation technologies for reclaiming water; and As an assessment tool for determining the effectiveness of implementing the remediation technologies. We have included a discussion on the appropriate strategy for LLNL to integrate its technical tools into the global business, geopolitical, and academic communities, whereby LLNL can form partnerships with technology proponents in the commercial, industrial, and public sectors.

The waste is being removed by means of remotely operated, in-tank, confined sluicing equipment. The waste removal operations in Tanks W-3 and W-4 in the North Tank Farm (NTF) have been completed and the equipment is being moved to the South Tank Farm (STF), where it will be used to remove the sludges from the six STF tanks (W-5, W-6, W-7, W-8, W-9, and W-10) beginning later this year. During sluicing operations the dry wells adjacent to each of the tanks are instrumented so that potential releases can be detected by means external to the tank. The method of detection is by monitoring the electrical conductivity of the water in the dry well associated with each tank. This report documents the dry well conductivity monitoring data for the period from July 1997 through January 1998. The dry wells monitored during this period include DW-3, DW-4, DW-8, DW-9, and DW-10. The conductivity of the water passing through Pump Station 1 (PS 1) was also monitored. The principal activities that occurred during this period were the sluicing of Tanks W-3 and W-4 in the NTF, transfer of tank liquids from the NTF to the STF, and the installation of new risers, tank dome leveling, and emplacement of stabilized base backfill in the STF. Presented in this report are the dry well conductivity, rainfall, tank level, and STF construction information that is relevant to the analysis and interpretation of the monitoring data for the reporting period. A thorough analysis of the monitoring results for the period indicates that no releases have occurred from the gunite tanks being monitored.

AN - 16354222; 6796 AB - PURPOSE: The storage of spent nuclear fuel from the Three Mile Island Unit 2 at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL), located in southeastern Idaho, is proposed. An assessment of the spent fuel management plan for INEEL was contained in a programmatic final EIS of April 1995 from the Department of Energy (DOE). The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has determined that the construction and operation of a spent fuel storage facility at INEEL is substantially the same as actions considered in the DOE's final EIS and has elected to adopt the DOE document as its own final EIS. The spent fuel to be transported to INEEL is an agglomerate of the various items that existed within the reactor vessel after the Three Mile Island accident. The material is being stored in stainless-steel canisters in a fully flooded and vented compartment at Three Mile Island. Under the proposed action, the canisters would be loaded into a dry shield canister, placed on a special use trailer and transported by truck to INEEL. Approximately 29 trips would be needed to transfer all spent fuel from Three Mile Island to INEEL. The INEEL storage facility would be a dry, above-ground facility occupying one acre. It would be designed to receive the transport cask, transfer the debris, store the canisters, allow inspection and monitoring of key safety parameters during storage, and provide for the retrieval of the canisters for further processing or disposal. The facility would be designed to accommodate combustible gas, specifically hydrogen and oxygen generated by hydrolysis. Any gases generated in the canisters would pass through a High Efficiency Particulate Air filter prior to atmospheric release. The estimated cost of the project is $4.12 million for preconstruction, $16.48 million for construction, and $1.7 million for the first four years of operation. Alternative spent nuclear fuels storage methods, sites, and a No-Action alternative were considered in this final EIS. [The NRC has adopted the DOE's final EIS, EPA number 950163, filed on March 21, 1995. The NRC was not a cooperating agency on the final EIS.] POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would provide interim storage of spent nuclear fuel until ultimate disposition occurs, stabilize the fuel as required for safe storage, increase safe storage capacity by replacing facilities that cannot meet current standards, provide additional capacity for newly generated spent fuel, and conduct research and development to support storage and disposal efforts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The transporting and handling of fuels would expose workers to radiation. Accidents would result in serious health effects.

The container was approved for use in the TRUPACT-II shipping container by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in February 1997. The container optimizes shipments to WIPP by increasing the TRUPACT-II criticality limit from 325 fissile grams equivalent (FGE) to 2,800 FGE and provides additional shielding for handling wastes with high americium-241 (Am-241) content. The container was subsequently evaluated and approved for storage of highly dispersible TRU wastes and residues at RFETS. Thermal evaluation of the container shows that the container will mitigate the impact of a worst case thermal event from reactive or potentially pyrophoric materials. These materials contain hazards postulated by the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board for interim storage. Packaging these reactive or potentially pyrophoric residues in the container without stabilizing the materials is under consideration at RFETS. The design, testing, and evaluations used in the approvals, and the current status of the container usage, will be discussed.

Citizens in this rural area expressed concern about excess cancer among the residents as a result of exposure to tritium. Researchers initiated an epidemiologic investigation in response to these concerns. Investigators identified 2251 deaths, of which 562 (25.7%) were cancer related. Observed cancer rates for the area of Mississippi were no different than those expected for the state as a whole.

AN - 79703610; 9482594 AB - In April 1995, Health Physics published a review paper titled "Radioactive Materials in Recycled Metals." At that time, 35 accidental meltings of radioactive sources in metal mills were reported, including 22 in the U.S., along with 293 other events in the U.S. where radioactive material was found in metals for recycling. Since that date, there have been additional accidental meltings of radioactive sources in metal mills both in the U.S. and elsewhere. There also was an incident in Texas that involved stolen radioactive devices, which resulted in exposures of members of the general public. Also, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission took steps to address the underlying problem of inadequate control and accountability of radioactive materials licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The Steel Manufacturers Association made available data collected by its members beginning in 1994 that expanded the database for radioactive materials found by the metal recycling industry in recycled metal scrap to over 2,300 reports as of 30 June 1997.

As part of these efforts, a removal action is planned for the former YS-860 Firing Ranges as described in the Action Memorandum for the project (DOE/OR/02- 1 622D 1). This removal action work plan (RmAWP) is focused on the former YS-860 Firing Ranges. This RmAWP defines the technical approach, procedures, and requirements for the removal of lead-contaminated soil and site restoration of the former YS-860 Firing Ranges at the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant. This RmAWP describes excavation, verification/confirmatory sampling, and reporting requirements for the project. Lower tier plans associated with the RmAWP, which are submitted as separate stand-alone documents, include a field sampling and analysis plan, a health and safety plan, a quality assurance project plan, a waste management plan, a data management implementation plan, and a best management practices plan. A site evaluation of the YS-86O Firing Ranges conducted in 1996 by Lockheed Martin Energy Systems, Inc., determined that elevated lead levels were present in the Firing Ranges target berm soils. The results of this sampling event form the basis for the removal action recommendation as described in the Action Memorandum for this project. This RmAWP contains a brief history and description of the Former YS-860 Firing Ranges Project, along with the current project schedule and milestones. This RmAWP also provides an overview of the technical requirements of the project, including a summary of the approach for the removal activities. Finally, the RmAWP identifies the regulatory requirements and the appropriate removal action responses to address applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements to achieve the project goals of substantially reducing the risk to human health and the environment.

The site is bordered to the east and south by a tributary that empties into Melton Branch Creek and that contains significant concentrations of radioactive contaminants, primarily (super 90) Sr. Because of the proximity of the tributary to the HRE disposal site and the probable flow of groundwater from the site to the tributary, it is hypothesized that the HRE Pond is a source of contamination to the creek. As a means for temporary containment of contaminants within the impoundment, a cryogenic barrier technology demonstration was initiated in FY96 with a background hydrologic investigation that continued through FY97. Cryogenic equipment installation was completed in FY97, and freezing was initiated in September of 1997. This report documents the results of a hydrologic and geologic investigation of the HRE Pond/cryogenic barrier site. The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the hydrologic conditions within and around the impoundment in order to meet the following objectives: (1) to provide a pre- barrier subsurface hydrologic baseline for post-barrier performance assessment; (2) to confirm that the impoundment is hydraulically connected to the surrounding sediments; and (3) to determine the likely contaminant exit pathways from the impoundment. The methods of investigation included water level and temperature monitoring in a network of wells and standpipes in and surrounding the impoundment, a helium tracer test conducted under ambient flow conditions, and geologic logging during the drilling of boreholes for installation of cryogenic probes and temperature monitoring wells.

High-level radioactive waste has been stored at Hanford in large underground tanks since 1944. Approximately 209,000 m (super 3) (54 Mgal) of waste are currently stored in 177 tanks. Vitrification and onsite disposal of low activity tank waste (LAW) are embodied in the strategy described in the Tri-Party Agreement. The tank waste is to be retrieved, separated into low- and high-level fractions, and then immobilized by private vendors. The DOE will receive the vitrified waste from private vendors and dispose of the low-activity fraction in the Hanford Site 200 East Area. The Immobilized Low-Activity Waste Disposal Complex (ILAWDC) is part of the disposal complex. This report is a plan to drill the first characterization borehole and collect data at the ILAWDC. This plan updates and revises the deep borehole portion of the characterization plan for the ILAWDC by Reidel and others (1995). It describes data collection activities for determining the physical and chemical properties of the vadose zone and the saturated zone at and in the immediate vicinity of the proposed ILAWDC. These properties then will be used to develop a conceptual geohydrologic model of the ILAWDC site in support of the Hanford ILAW Performance Assessment.

Interim clean-up actions were completed at the Double Tracks and Clean Slate 1 safety shot sites in 1996 and 1997, respectively. Soil at both sites, with a total transuranic activity greater than 20 picoCuries per gram (pCi/g), was excavated and shipped to the NTS for disposal. Characterization and assessment efforts were initiated at the Double Tracks site in 1995, and the clean-up of this site as an interim action was completed in 1996. Clean-up of this site consisted of taking site-specific data and applying rationale for dose and risk calculations in selecting parameter values for the interim corrective action level. The remediation process included excavating and stockpiling the contaminated soil and loading the soil into supersacks with approximately 1,513 cubic meters (53,500 cubic feet) being shipped to the NTS for disposal. In 1997, remediation began on the Clean Slate 1 site on which characterization had already been completed using a very similar approach; however, the site incorporated lessons learned, cost efficiencies, and significant improvements to the process. This paper focuses on those factors and the progress that has been made in cleaning up the sites. The application of a technically reasonable remediation method, as well as the cost factors that supported transport and disposal of the low-level waste in bulk are discussed. JF - DOE/NV (U. S.

The bifunctional resin, RO-02-119, was a copolymer of vinylbenzylchloride and divinylbenzene that had been functionalized with trihexylamine and triethylamine. The experiment was a parallel test of the synthetic resin and a commercial resin, Purolite A-520E, to directly compare the performance of the two resins. Purolite resin is currently used by the treatment facility to remove Tc-99 from the contaminated groundwater containing approximately 1,000 pCi/L TcO (sub 4) (super -) . A total of approximately 692,000 bed volumes of groundwater was passed through the column containing the synthetic resin (RO-02-119) whereas only approximately 205,000 bed volumes of groundwater were passed through the Purolite resin column because of reduced hydraulic conductivity and clogging within the latter column. Despite less groundwater passing through the Purolite resin column, however, the breakthrough of TcO (sub 4) (super -) occurred earlier in the Purolite column than in the RO-02-119 column.

The CAIP is a document that provides or references all of the specific information for investigation activities associated with Corrective Action Units (CAUs) or Corrective Action Sites (CASs). According to the FFACO, CASs are sites potentially requiring corrective action(s) and may include solid waste management units or individual disposal or release sites (FFACO, 1996). Corrective Action Units consist of one or more CASs grouped together based on geography, technical similarity, or agency responsibility for the purpose of determining corrective actions. This CAIP contains the environmental sample collection objectives and the criteria for conducting site investigation activities at CAU 342, the Area 23 Mercury Fire Training Pit (FTP), which is located in Area 23 at the Nevada Test Site (NTS). The NTS is approximately 88 km (55 mi) northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. Corrective Action Unit 342 is comprised of CAS 23-56-01. The FTP is an area approximately 100 m by 140 m (350 ft by 450 ft) located west of the town of Mercury, Nevada, which was used between approximately 1965 and 1990 to train fire-fighting personnel (REECo, 1991; Jacobson, 1991). The surface and subsurface soils in the FTP have likely been impacted by hydrocarbons and other contaminants of potential concern (COPC) associated with burn activities and training exercises in the area.

Wiley Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL), developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to provide a state-of-the-art collaborative facility for studies of chemical structure and dynamics. The authors respond to the need for a fundamental, molecular level understanding of chemistry at a wide variety of environmentally important interfaces by: (1) extending the experimental characterization and theoretical description of chemical reactions to encompass the effects of condensed media and interfaces; (2) developing a multidisciplinary capability for describing interfacial chemical processes within which the new knowledge generated can be brought to bear on complex phenomena in environmental chemistry and in nuclear waste processing and storage; and (3) developing state-of-the-art analytical methods for characterizing complex materials of the types found in stored wastes and contaminated soils, and for detecting and monitoring trace atmospheric species. The focus of the research is defined primarily by DOE's environmental problems: fate and transport of contaminants in the subsurface environment, processing and storage of waste materials, cellular effects of chemical and radiological insult, and atmospheric chemistry as it relates to air quality and global change. Twenty-seven projects are described under the following topical sections: Reaction mechanisms at interfaces; High-energy processes at environmental interfaces; Cluster models of the condensed phase; and Miscellaneous.

Us hot water instead and progress improves markedly. So it makes sense that cleanup of greasy underground contaminants such as gasoline might go faster if hot water or steam were somehow added to the process. The Environmental Protection Agency named hundreds of sites to the Superfund list--sites that have been contaminated with petroleum products or petroleum products or solvents. Elsewhere across the country, thousands of properties not identified on federal cleanup lists are contaminated as well. Given that under current regulations, underground accumulations of solvent and hydrocarbon contaminants (the most serious cause of groundwater pollution) must be cleaned up, finding a rapid and effective method of removing them is imperative. In the early 1990's, in collaboration with the School of Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley, Lawrence Livermore developed dynamic underground stripping. This method for treating underground contaminants with heat is much faster and more effective than traditional treatment methods.

The diffusion of water vapor in a packed bed containing residual liquid is examined experimentally. The objective is to quantify the effect of enhanced vapor diffusion resulting from evaporation/condensation in porous media subjected to a temperature gradient. Isothermal diffusion experiments in free-space were conducted to qualify the experimental apparatus and techniques. For these experiments measured diffusion coefficients are within 3.6% of those reported in the literature for the temperature range from 25 degrees C to 40 degrees C. Isothermal experiments in packed beds of glass beads were used to determine the tortuosity coefficient resulting in (tau) = 0.78+ or -0.028, which is also consistent with previously reported results. Nonisothermal experiments in packed beds in which condensation occurs were conducted to examine enhanced vapor diffusion. The interpretation of the results for these experiments is complicated by a gradual, but continuous, build-up of condensate in the packed beds during the course of the experiment. Results indicate diffusion coefficients which increase as a function of saturation resulting in enhancement of the vapor-phase transport by a factor of approximately four compared to a dry porous medium.

Published data have been evaluated as the input parameters that are used in the simulation of the fate and transport processes. A one-dimensional model developed for screening agricultural pesticides was modified and used to simulate the appearance of a surface flux above a buried landmine and estimate the subsurface total concentration. The physical chemical properties of TNT cause a majority of the mass released to the soil system to be bound to the solid phase soil particles. The majority of the transport occurs in the liquid phase with diffusion and evaporation driven advection of soil water as the primary mechanisms for the flux to the ground surface. The simulations provided in this report should only be used for initial conceptual designs of chemical pre-concentration subsystems or complete detection systems. The physical processes modeled required necessary simplifying assumptions to allow for analytical solutions.

The Composite Analysis is a companion document to published analyses of four active or planned low-level waste disposal actions: the solid waste burial grounds in the 200 West Area, the solid waste burial grounds in the 200 East Area, the Environmental Restoration Disposal Facility, and the disposal facilities for immobilized low-activity waste. The 100 mrem in a year limit was the maximum allowable all-pathways dose for 1000 years following Hanford Site closure, which is assumed to occur in 2050. These performance objectives apply to an accessible environment defined as the area between a buffer zone surrounding an exclusive waste management area on the 200 Area Plateau, and the Columbia River. Estimating doses to hypothetical future members of the public for the Composite Analysis was a multistep process involving the estimation or simulation of inventories; waste release to the environment; migration through the vadose zone, groundwater, and atmospheric pathways; and exposure and dose. Doses were estimated for scenarios based on agriculture, residential, industrial, and recreational land use. The radionuclides included in the vadose zone and groundwater pathway analyses of future releases were carbon-14, chlorine-36, selenium-79, technetium-99, iodine-129, and uranium isotopes.

Because of the use of chlorinated solvents to remove petroleum-based cutting oils and lubricants at SRS (and other manufacturing sites) in degreasing operations, waste solvents may contain small amounts of the oils and lubricants. This mixture will fluoresce when excited by light of wavelengths capable of being transmitted over optical fiber. Samples of DNAPL from the A/M area of SRS were analyzed to assess the possibilities of contaminant detection by fluorescence spectroscopy. The DNAPL sample exhibited a strong, distinct fluorescent spectrum when exposed to an appropriate excitation wavelength. A cone penetrometer-based, laser induced fluorescent system may be capable of providing direct detection of DNAPLs in the subsurface based on these results.

Final report AN - 19809978; 4467234 AB - During the total agreement period, more than 200 unique heterotrophic aerobic bacteria were isolated from samples of deep subsurface sediments retrieved from depths of 149.2 and 178.9 m of a vertical bore hole at Cerro Negro (CNV1). All the isolates were characterized phylogenetically and deposited to SMCC. Several clones belonging to a family currently believed to be of strictly marine origin (Microscilla) were found among the isolates. The bacteria might be the descendants of those present in marine environment at the time of deposition. This is an important conclusion for the entire deep subsurface Microbial Origins project. The authors determined diversity of populations of prokaryotic genomes of independent bacterial clones isolated from both surface soil, and subsurface sediments. The degree of diversity for deep subsurface isolates was exceedingly high, much higher than that observed for surface soil isolates. The authors have found that the genomes of some subsurface isolates are significantly more plastic than those for strains isolated from surface environments. The most intriguing discovery was isolation and cultivation of populations of nonplateable novel ultra small bacteria, which are phylogenetically more close to chloroplasts of higher plants, than any other existing bacteria including Cyanobacteria.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-06-22 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Evaluation of reservoir wettability and its effect on oil recovery. Annual report, February 1, 1996--January 31, 1997 AN - 18164428; 4465341 AB - We report on the first year of the project,"Evaluation of Reservoir Wettability and its Effect on Oil Recovery." The objectives of this five-year project are: (1) to achieve improved understanding of the surface and interfacial properties of crude oils and their interactions with mineral surfaces, (2) to apply the results of surface studies to improve predictions of oil production from laboratory measurements, and (3) to use the results of this research to recommend ways to improve oil recovery by waterflooding. During the first year of this project we have focused on understanding the interactions between crude oils and mineral surfaces that establish wetting in porous media. Mixed-wetting can occur in oil reservoirs as a consequence of the initial fluid distribution. Water existing as thick films on flat surfaces and as wedges in comers can prevent contact of oil and mineral. Water-wet pathways are thus preserved. Depending on the balance of surface forces-which depend on oil, solid, and brine compositions-thick water films can be either stable or unstable. Water film stability has important implications for subsequent alteration of wetting in a reservoir. On surfaces exposed to oil, the components that are likely to adsorb and alter wetting can divided into two main groups: those containing polar heteroatoms, especially organic acids and bases; and the asphaltenes, large molecules that aggregate in solution and precipitate upon addition of n-pentane and similar agents. In order to understand how crude oils interact with mineral surfaces, we must first gather information about both these classes of compounds in a crude oil. Test procedures used to assess the extent of wetting alteration include adhesion and adsorption on smooth surfaces and spontaneous imbibition into porous media. Part 1 of this project is devoted to determining the mechanisms by which crude oils alter wetting.

Cleanup of the Weldon Spring site consists of several integrated components. The quarry residuals operable unit (QROU) is one of four operable units being evaluated. In accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended, a remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) is being conducted to evaluate conditions and potential responses for the following areas and/or media that constitute the QROU: (1) the residual material (soil and sediment) remaining at the Weldon Spring quarry after removal of the bulk waste (about 11 million L (3 million gal) of uranium-contaminated ponded water was also addressed previous to bulk waste removal); (2) other media located in the surrounding vicinity of the quarry, including adjacent soil, surface water, and sediment in Femme Osage Slough and several creeks; and (3) quarry groundwater located primarily north of Femme Osage Slough. Potential impacts to the St. Charles County well field downgradient of the quarry area are also being addressed as part of QROU RI/FS evaluations. For remedial action sites, it is DOE policy to integrate values associated with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) into the CERCLA decision-making process. The analyses contained herein address NEPA values as appropriate to the actions being considered for the QROU. A work plan summarizing initial site conditions and providing conceptual site hydrogeological and exposure models was published in January 1994. The RI and baseline risk assessment (BRA) reports have been completed. The RI discusses in detail the nature and extent and the fate and transport of contamination at the quarry area.

Heat treatments produced two types of microstructures in both commercial and controlled- purity alloys: one dominated by grain boundary carbides and one dominated by intragranular carbides. CERT tests conducted over a range of strain rates and at two temperatures showed that in all samples, IGSCC was the dominant failure mode. For both the commercial alloy and the controlled-purity alloys, the microstructure with grain boundary carbides showed delayed crack initiation and shallower crack depths than did the intragranular carbide microstructure under all experimental conditions, indicating that a grain boundary carbide microstructure is more resistant to IGSCC than an intragranular carbide microstructure. Observations support both the film rupture/slip dissolution mechanism and enhanced localized plasticity. Crack growth rates increased with increasing strain rate according to a power law relation with a strain rate exponent between 0.40 and 0.64. However, crack growth rate measured in m /unit strain decreased with increasing strain rate indicating an effect of either the environment or creep. consistent with the literature.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-03-24 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Groundwater Treatment at SRS: An Innovative Approach AN - 17650657; 4465618 AB - The SRS is located in southwestern South Carolina, occupying an almost circular area of approximately 800 km(sub 2) within Aiken, Barnwell, and Allendale counties. The site lies approximately 36 km southeast of Augusta, Georgia, and is bounded by the Savannah River along its southwestern border. Prior to the establishment of the SRS in 1952, the area was largely a rural agricultural community. As part of the defense complex, the SRS produced special nuclear materials for the national defense. From 1955 until 1988, unlined earthen basins were used to dispose of wastewater from the SRS separations facilities located in the F and H areas. Approximately 300 million liters of wastewater was transported annually from the process area through underground piping to the basins. The wastewater was allowed to evaporate and to seep into the underlying formations. There were three basins in the F-Area covering a total of about 3 hectares; while the H-Area was served by four basins covering about 6 hectares. The seepage basins closure was started in 1989 and SCDHEC certified the closures as completed in 1991. Groundwater monitoring conducted in accordance with the provisions of the RCRA Permits determined that the underlying hydrogeologic units were contaminated by tritium, radioactive metals (primarily Cesium(sup 137), Strontium(sup 90), and Uranium(sup 235)), nitrate and heavy metals, some of which are defined as hazardous by RCRA. Under the terms and conditions of the RCRA Post-Closure Permits, it was necessary to remediate the contaminated groundwater plumes.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Radiation health effects AN - 17098474; 4403309 AB - The bulk of our knowledge about human radiation health effect that forms the basis for radiation protection standards is derived from studies of the survivors of the atomic bombs that struck Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Other human population groups that have provided significant data on radiation health effects are certain medical patient groups. It is largely the result of these human studies coupled with research on radiation effects on animals and cells that have led to the adoption on the linear, non-threshold (LNT) theory to describe radiation health effects at the low doses and dose rates normally encountered by radiation workers and the public. The strict application of that theory at these low levels is being challenged. In the opinion of some, the strict application of the LNT theory has led to unnecessarily conservative radiation protection standards particularly for specific purposes such as the decontamination and decommissioning of licensed facilities. As we will see, there is scientific uncertainty about radiation health effects at these low levels. Thus, one way of obtaining relief from radiation protection standards that are viewed as unnecessarily restrictive or overly conservative, is to challenge the theory underlying the standards.

Instead of measuring the remaining uncleaved oligosaccharides in enzymatic digestion, released monosaccharides are directly quantified by pulsed amperometric detection at a gold electrode. The measured monosaccharide concentrations in combination with the enzyme array analysis provide structural characterization of oligosaccharides. The enzyme array-electrochemical detection method does not require any separation procedure or any prior labeling of oligosaccharides. However, this method is limited by the use of purified oligosaccharide samples and the nature of the enzyme array. The development of more sophisticated enzyme arrays relies upon the introduction of a bank of highly specific (bond, arm, aglycon) exoglycosidases.

The low level wastes are buried in trenches, pits, and soil vaults in surficial sediments. A closure/post-closure plan must be written prior to closure of the SDA. The closure plan for the facility must include a design for an engineered barrier closure cover that will meet all applicable regulatory requirements. This paper describes the approach being followed at the INEEL to choose an appropriate cover design for the SDA closure. Regulatory requirements and performance objectives potentially applicable to closure of the SDA were identified. Technical issues related to SDA closure were identified from a literature search of previous arid site engineered barrier studies and from previous SDA closure cover evaluations. Five engineered barrier conceptual design alternatives were identified: (1) a bio/capillary barrier cover, (2) a thin soil cover, (3) a thick soil cover, (4) a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act cover, and (5) a concrete sealed surface cover. Two of these designs were chosen for in situ hydraulic testing, rather than all five, in order to maximize the amount of information generated relative to projected project costs. Testing of these two cover designs provides data to quantify hydrologic model input parameters and for verification of site specific hydrologic models for long term closure cover performance evaluation and detailed analysis of closure cover alternatives. The specific objectives of the field tests are to determine the water balance for the two covers over several years and to determine cover soil physical and hydraulic properties.

Decontamination of the dredged material followed by beneficial reuse is one attractive component of the overall comprehensive dredged material management plan being developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers New York District. A demonstration program to validate decontamination processes and to bring them into full-scale use in the NY/NJ Harbor is now in progress. Tests of selected technologies have been completed at the bench scale and pilot- scale (2--15 cu m) levels. Procedures for demonstration testing on scales from 750 cu m to 75,000 cu m are being developed with the goal of producing a useable decontamination system by the end of 1999. The overall project goals and present status of the project are reviewed.

Survey results indicate that local sites are confronted with a limited, and shrinking, budget for treating aqueous waste streams. Therefore, a process will be selected primarily on the basis of sorbent costs, use of existing equipment, and disposal costs for spent processing materials. Current laboratory testing and economic studies have been directed toward addressing the technical issues specific to the removal of (sup 90)Sr and (sup 137)Cs from groundwater and process wastewater. This year's efforts have concentrated on evaluating the engineered form of crystalline silicotitanates (CSTs) for near neutral pH applications. Both powder and pellet forms of CST can be obtained through UOP; this task evaluated only the engineered form of the sorbent for wastewater remediation. Preliminary experimental efforts included measuring the average particle size, surface water content, total sodium content, ion exchange capacity, and equilibration mixing time. The as received material contains approximately 10% fines, which adhere to the CST pellet. The cesium and strontium ion-exchange capacities, based on multiple contacts with 50 ppm of the metal, are 0.8 meq/g and 1.1 meq/g, respectively. Batch tests indicated that an equilibrium mixing time of 100 h was required for cesium sorption. Group 2 cations (Sr, Ca, and Mg) required greater than 500 h.

The three-phase centrifuge is an excellent device for cleaning up oil field and refinery wastes which are typically composed of hydrocarbons, water, and solids. The technology is unique. It turns the waste into salable oil, reusable water, and landfill-able solids. No secondary waste is produced. The problem is that only the inventor can set up and run the equipment well enough to provide an optimal cleanup. Demand for this device has far exceeded a one man operation. There is now a need for several centrifuges to be operated at different locations at the same time. This has produced a demand for an intelligent control system, one that could replace a highly skilled operator, or at least supplement the skills of a less experienced operator. The control problem is ideally suited to fuzzy logic, since the centrifuge is a highly complicated machine operated entirely by the skill and experience of the operator. A fuzzy control system was designed for and used with the centrifuge.

A field demonstration of HPO was performed at a creosote contaminated site during the summer of 1997. The groundwater was heated by steam injections and oxygen was added by coinjection of compressed air. The remediation was monitored from multiple groundwater monitoring wells. Dissolved organic carbon levels increased in response to steam injections as a result of the enhanced dissolution and mobilization of the creosote into the heated groundwater. Elevated concentrations of partially oxidized organic compounds (i.e. phenols, benzoic acid, fluorenone, anthrone and 9,10- anthracenedione), decreased levels of dissolved oxygen and isotopic shifts in the dissolved inorganic pool were indicators of partial to complete oxidative destruction of the creosote in the heated aquifer as a result of the HPO process.

Four boreholes, containing a total of 30 ERT electrodes, were drilled to form the sides of a 30 foot square with the heater at the center and perpendicular to the plane of the electrodes. Images of resistivity change were calculated using data collected before and during the heating episode. The changes recovered show a region of decreasing resistivity approximately centered around the heater. the size this region grows with time and the resistivity decreases become stronger. The changes in resistivity are caused by both temperature and saturation changes. The Waxman Smits model has been sued to calculate rock saturation after accounting for temperature effects. The saturation estimates suggest that a region of drying develops around the heater and grows over time. The estimates also show regions increase in saturation over time, primarily below and to the sides of the heater. The accuracy of the saturation estimates depends on several factors that are only partly understood at the time of writing.

N1 - Last updated - 2014-05-07 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Low-level exposures: some implications for the U.S. Department of Energy. AN - 79780778; 9539034 AB - The U.S. Department of Energy (U.S. DOE) maintains several programs to study and understand the health and environmental effects of exposure to low levels of energy-related agents. These programs include research to understand the mechanisms of action of agents of concern and to assess the risks associated with exposures of people and ecological systems to these agents. They also include implementing appropriate occupational safety and health standards and remediating waste sites to environmental standards. These programs require that the U.S. DOE pursue a realistic understanding of the effects of exposures to small amounts of energy-related agents. The largest of these programs involves hazardous waste remediation and includes potentially harmful exposures to low levels of numerous agents. The U.S. DOE conducts research to establish the scientific bases for the realistic assessment of risks of exposure to such wastes. As part of the U.S. DOE efforts to understand the risks of low-level exposures to hazardous waste, the Office of Health and Environmental Research and the Office of Environmental Management recently launched a broad cooperative program. It is comprised of research projects in nine general scientific areas and includes research on the health impacts and risk estimation of exposure to low levels of hazardous wastes. Projects for this new cooperative research program were selected from 610 applications and totaled approximately $47 million in fiscal year 1996. This program marks a new approach by using basic research to reduce cleanup costs and to develop scientific foundations for advances in environmental technologies. The research will also examine the effects of exposure to low levels of chemical and radiological wastes.

The staff also locates and identifies sources of seismic activity and monitors changes in the historical pattern of seismic activity at the Hanford Site. The data are compiled, archived, and published for use by the Hanford Site for waste management, natural phenomena hazards assessments, and engineering design and construction. In addition, the seismic monitoring organization works with the Hanford Site Emergency Services Organization to provide assistance in the event of an earthquake on the Hanford Site. The HSN and the Eastern Washington Regional Network (EWRN) consist of 41 individual sensor sites and 15 radio relay sites maintained by the Hanford Seismic Monitoring staff. The operational rate for the first quarter of FY98 for stations in the HSN was 98.5%. The operational rate for the first quarter of FY98 for stations of the EWRN was 99.1%. For the first quarter of FY98, the acquisition computer triggered 184 times. Of these triggers 23 were local earthquakes: 7 in the Columbia River Basalt Group, and 16 in the crystalline basement. The geologic and tectonic environments where these earthquakes occurred are discussed in this report. The most significant earthquakes in this quarter were a series of six events which occurred in the Cold Creek depression (approximately 4 km SW of the 200 West Area), between November 6 and November 11, 1997. All events were deep (> 15 km) and were located in the crystalline basement. The first event was the largest, having a magnitude of 3.49 M (sub c) . Two events on November 9, 1997 had magnitudes of 2.81 and 2.95 M (sub c) , respectively. The other events had magnitudes between 0.7 and 1.2 M (sub c) .

Survey results indicate that local sites are confronted with a limited, and shrinking, budget for treating aqueous waste streams. Therefore, a process will be selected primarily on the basis of sorbent costs, use of existing equipment, and disposal costs for spent processing materials. Current laboratory testing and economic studies have been directed toward addressing the technical issues specific to the removal of (super 90) Sr and (super 137) Cs from groundwater and process wastewater. This year's efforts have concentrated on evaluating the engineered form of crystalline silicotitanates (CSTs) for near neutral pH applications. Both powder and pellet forms of CST can be obtained through UOP; this task evaluated only the engineered form of the sorbent for wastewater remediation. Preliminary experimental efforts included measuring the average particle size, surface water content, total sodium content, ion exchange capacity, and equilibration mixing time. The as received material contains approximately 10% fines, which adhere to the CST pellet. The cesium and strontium ion-exchange capacities, based on multiple contacts with 50 ppm of the metal, are 0.8 meq/g and 1.1 meq/g, respectively.

These experiments extend the work by Geller et al. (1995) and Jarsjo and Geller (1996) that tests the hypothesis that groundwater degassing caused observed flow reductions in the Stripa Simulated Drift Experiment (SDE). Understanding degassing effects over a range of gas contents is needed due to the uncertainty in the gas contents of the water at the SDE. The main objectives of this study were to: (1) measure the effect of groundwater degassing on liquid flow rates for lower gas contents than the values used in Geller for linear flow geometry in the same fracture replicas of Geller; (2) provide a data set to develop a predictive model of two-phase flow in fractures for conditions of groundwater degassing; and (3) improve the certainty of experimental gas contents (this effort included modifications to the experimental system used by Geller et al. and separate gas-water equilibration tests). The Stripa site is being considered for a high-level radioactive waste repository.

Remediation by monitored natural attenuation (MNA) requires a clear identification of the specific reaction(s) by which contaminant levels are made less available as well as considerable long-term monitoring. Central to MNA is the development of a conceptual model describing the biogeochemical behavior of contaminant(s) in the subsurface. The conceptual model will be used to make testable predictions of contaminant availability over time. In many cases, comparison between this prediction and field measurements will provide the test of whether MNA is to be implemented. As a result, development of the conceptual model should guide site characterization activities as well as long-term monitoring.

The EMWD-GRS technology was demonstrated at Savannah River Site (SRS) F-Area Retention Basin. The EMWD-GRS technology demonstration consisted of continuously monitoring for gamma-radiation-producing contamination while drilling two horizontal boreholes below the backfilled waste retention basin. These boreholes passed near previously sampled locations where concentrations of contaminant levels of cesium had been measured. Contaminant levels continuously recorded by the EMWD-GRS system during drilling were compared to contaminant levels previously determined through quantitative laboratory analysis of soil samples. The results show general agreement between the soil sampling and EMWD-GRS techniques for Cs-137. The EMWD-GRS system has been improved by the integration of an orientation sensor package for position sensing (PS) (EMWD-GRS/PS). This added feature gives the capability of calculating position, which is tied directly to EMWD-GRS sensor data obtained while drilling. The EMWD-GRS/PS system is described and the results of the field tests are presented.

AN - 21263797; 11702145 AB - The prime concern of radiation protection policy since 1959 has been to protect DNA from damage. In 1994 the United Nations Scientific Community on the Effects of Atomic Radiation focused on biosystem response to radiation with its report Adaptive Responses to Radiation of Cells and Organisms. The 1995 National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements report Principles and Application of Collective Dose in Radiation Protection states that because no human data provides direct support for the linear nonthreshold hypothesis (LNT), confidence in LNT is based on the biophysical concept that the passage of a single charged particle could cause damage to DNA that would result in cancer. Several statistically significant epidemiologic studies contradict the validity of this concept by showing risk decrements, i.e., hormesis, of cancer mortality and mortality from all causes in populations exposed to low-dose radiation. Unrepaired low-dose radiation damage to DNA is negligible compared to metabolic damage. The DNA damage-control biosystem is physiologically operative on both metabolic and radiation damage and effected predominantly by free radicals. The DNA damage-control biosystem is suppressed by high dose and stimulated by low-dose radiation. The hormetic effect of low-dose radiation may be explained by its increase of biosystem efficiency. Improved DNA damage control reduces persistent mis- or unrepaired DNA damage i.e., the number of mutations that accumulate during a lifetime. This progressive accumulation of gene mutations in stem cells is associated with decreasing DNA damage control, aging, and malignancy. Recognition of the positive health effects produced by adaptive responses to low-dose radiation would result in a realistic assessment of the environmental risk of radiation.

Along the shoreline away from the reactor areas, where contamination is presumed to be absent, monitoring sites are frequently widely spaced or unavailable to confirm the presumption. Previous characterizations of contamination near the river have relied on data from a limited number of near-river wells, contaminant plume migration predictions, and river bank seepage sampling to anticipate shoreline conditions. In recent years, new methods have been developed to obtain groundwater samples from the aquifer near the groundwater/river water interface. These methods include using (1) divers to obtain samples of pore water from riverbed sediment and (2) sampling tubes that are driven into the aquifer at the shoreline. The latter method also permits sampling the aquifer at multiple depths, which helps to determine the thickness of the potentially contaminated groundwater layer that discharges into the river.

Bacterial activities will be dependent on the abilities of deleterious bacteria to grow and multiply in the repository environment. Therefore, preliminary to assessing microbial induced corrosion, experiments were undertaken to determine the growth of native YM bacterial communities in modified YM pore water. Specifically, we sought to define nutrients that limit bacterial growth in Yucca Mountain and determine growth rates under aerobic, saturated conditions.

Modeling and observational work has raised the possibility that global warming may cause changes in the circulation of the ocean. If such changes would occur they could have important climatic consequences. The first technical goal of this project was to investigate some of these possible changes in ocean circulation in a quantitative way, using a state-of-the-art numerical model of the ocean. Another goal was to develop our ocean model, a detailed three-dimensional numerical model of the ocean circulation and ocean carbon cycles. A major non-technical goal was to establish LLNL as a center of excellence in modelling the ocean circulation and carbon cycle.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-03-24 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Hanford Site groundwater monitoring for Fiscal Year 1997 AN - 17651903; 4465339 AB - This report presents the results of groundwater and vadose-zone monitoring for fiscal year (FY) 1997 on the Hanford Site, Washington. Soil-vapor extraction continued in the 200-West Area to remove carbon tetrachloride from the vadose zone. Characterization and monitoring of the vadose zone comprised primarily spectral gamma logging, soil-vapor monitoring, and analysis and characterization of sediments sampled below a vadose-zone monitoring well. Source-term analyses for strontium-90 in 100-N Area vadose-zone sediments were performed using recent groundwater- monitoring data and knowledge of strontium's ion- exchange properties. Water-level monitoring was performed to evaluate groundwater-flow directions, to track changes in water levels, and to relate such changes to evolving disposal practices. Water levels over most of the Hanford Site continued to decline between June 1996 and June 1997. Water levels near the Columbia River increased during this period because the river stage was unusually high. Groundwater chemistry was monitored to track the extent of contamination, to note trends, and to identify emerging groundwater-quality problems. The most widespread radiological contaminant plumes were tritium and iodine-129. Concentrations of technetium-99, uranium, strontium-90, and carbon-14 also exceeded drinking water standards in smaller plumes. Plutonium and cesium-137 exceeded standards only near the 216-B-5 injection well. Derived concentration guide levels specified in U.S. Department of Energy Order 5400.5 were exceeded for tritium, uranium, strontium-90, and plutonium in small plumes or single wells. Nitrate is the most extensive chemical contaminant. Carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, chromium, cis-1,2- dichloroethylene, fluoride, and trichloroethylene also were present in smaller areas at levels above their maximum contaminant levels. Cyanide concentrations were elevated in one area but were below the maximum contaminant level.

This study investigates the immobilization of all Idaho Chemical Processing Plant calcine, including calcined sodium bearing waste, via the process known as hot isostatic press, which produces compact solid waste forms by means of high temperature and pressure (1,050 C and 20,000 psi), as the treatment method for complying with the settlement agreement. The final waste product would be contained in stainless-steel canisters, the same type used at the Savannah River Site for vitrified waste, and stored at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory until a national geological repository becomes available for its disposal. The waste processing period is from 2013 through 2032, and disposal at the High Level Waste repository will probably begin sometime after 2065.

The bulk of the data presented in the report was obtained from the 1996 annual radiation exposure reports submitted in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.2206. The 1996 annual reports submitted by about 284 licensees indicated that approximately 138,310 individuals were monitored, 75,139 of whom were monitored by nuclear power facilities. They incurred an average individual dose of 0.1 rem (cSv) and an average measurable dose of about 0.29 rem (cSv). Analyses of transient worker data indicate that 22,348 individuals completed work assignments at two or more licensees during the monitoring year. The dose distributions are adjusted each year to account for the duplicate reporting of transient workers by multiple licensees. In 1996, the average measurable dose calculated from reported data was 0.24 cSv (rem). The corrected dose distribution resulted in an average measurable dose of 0.29 cSv (rem).

The wastes consist of commercial spent fuel, DOE spent nuclear fuel (SNF), high level waste (HLW), and surplus plutonium. The DOE was mandated by Congress in the fiscal 1997 Energy and Water Appropriations Act to complete a viability assessment (VA) of the repository in September of 1998. The assessment consists of a preliminary design concept for the critical elements of the repository, a total system performance assessment (TSPA), a plan and cost estimate for completion of the license application, and an estimate of the cost to construct and operate the repository. This paper presents the results of the sensitivity analyses that were conducted to examine the behavior of DOE SNF and plutonium waste forms in the environment of the base case repository that was modeled for the TSPA-VA. Fifteen categories of DOE SNF and two Plutonium waste forms were examined and their contribution to radiation dose to humans was evaluated.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Task 3.16 -- Low-cost coal-water fuel for entrained-flow gasification. Semi- annual report, July 1--December 31, 1995 AN - 17580866; 4466651 AB - Continued interest in gasification technologies has led to the need for more technological advances in the area of fuel cleanup and fuel feed systems, which invariably affect the other components comprised by gasification systems. Some entrained-flow gasifiers require the fuel to be a slurry form or a coal- water fuel (CWF). Recent technological advances at the Energy and Environmental Research Center (EERC) have led to potential means for improving efficiency and air toxics control for gasifiers that utilize CWF. Highly reactive low-rank coals present an attractive CWF gasification feedstock. Hydrothermally treating low-rank coals allows a CWF to be formulated that has an elevated solids content, which reduces the amount of water fed to the gasifier, thereby decreasing the amount of oxygen needed to gasify the coal. Preliminary measurements show that the process would increase the solids content from 53 to 63 wt%, giving a 20% improvement in energy density. The specific objective of this research project is to assess the potential process efficiency and pollution control benefits that may result from applying the hydrothermal, or hot-water-drying (HWD), process to low-rank coals as related to entrained-flow gasification systems. Project emphasis is on identifying more efficient coal dewatering and CWF formulation methods prior to gasification.

Tunnels through the unsaturated zone at Rainier Mesa have encountered perched water and, after the perched water was drained, flow in fractures and faults. Although flow observations have been primarily qualitative, Rainier Mesa hydrology is a potential analog for Yucca Mountain hydrology in a wetter climate. In this paper, a groundwater flow model that has been used in the performance assessment of Yucca Mountain--the weeps model--is applied to Rainier Mesa. The intent is to gain insight in both Rainier Mesa and the weeps flow model. AU - Gauthier, J H Y1 - 1998/01/31/ PY - 1998 DA - 1998 Jan 31 SP - 5 KW - USA, Nevada, Yucca Mt.

Inorganic ion-exchange materials, such as sodium silicotitanate, sodium titanate, ammonium molybdeophosphate, phosphotungstic acid, hexacyanoferrates, titanium monohydrogen phosphate, hydrous titanium oxide, polyantimonic acid, magnesium oxide, etc. have high selectivities and efficiencies for separating and removing radionuclides (e.g., cesium, strontium, technetium, iodine, europium, cerium, ruthenium, and zirconium), actinides, and other elements (such as lead, mercury, silver, nickel, zinc, chromium, and fluoride) from aqueous waste streams. The development of cesium specific spherical sorbents for treatment of acidic, high- salt waste solutions was initiated in FY 1998. Acid-side treatment is important at INEEL and could become important if acidic sludge washing were to become a treatment option at Hanford, Savannah River, or Oak Ridge. Zirconium monohydrogen phosphates (ZrHP) embedded with ammonium molybdophosphate (AMP) was the cesium selective inorganic sorbent chosen for making microspheres. AMP is known to be a very effective sorbent for removing cesium from waste streams over a wide range of acidity and salinity, and it has very rapid loading kinetics. The cesium can also be eluted from AMP with ammonium salt solutions. AMP cannot be used as a sorbent at pHs above 7 because it decomposes. In the pH range of 1 to 7, ZrHP is also a very effective sorbent for removing Cs, Sr, Th, U(VI), Pu(IV), AM(III), Hg, and Pb from streams of lower ionic concentrations.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Evaluation of Reservoir Wettability and its Effect on Oil Recovery AN - 18164968; 4465320 AB - We report on the first year of the project, 'Evaluation of Reservoir Wettability and its Effect on Oil Recovery.' The objectives of this five-year project are (1) to achieve improved understanding of the surface and interfacial properties of crude oils and their interactions with mineral surfaces, (2) to apply the results of surface studies to improve predictions of oil production from laboratory measurements, and (3) to use the results of this research to recommend ways to improve oil recovery by waterflooding. During the first year of this project we have focused on understanding the interactions between crude oils and mineral surfaces that establish wetting in porous media. As background, mixed- wetting and our current understanding of the influence of stable and unstable brine films are reviewed. The components that are likely to adsorb and alter wetting are divided into two groups: those containing polar heteroatoms, especially organic acids and bases; and the asphaltenes, large molecules that aggregate in solution and precipitate upon addition of n-pentane and similar agents. Finally, the test procedures used to assess the extent of wetting alteration-tests of adhesion and adsorption on smooth surfaces and spontaneous imbibition into porous media are introduced. In Part 1, we report on studies aimed at characterizing both the acid/base and asphaltene components. Standard acid and base number procedures were modified and 22 crude oil samples were tested. Our approach to characterizing the asphaltenes is to focus on their solvent environment. We quantify solvent properties by refractive index measurements and report the onset of asphaltene precipitation at ambient conditions for nine oil samples. Four distinct categories of interaction mechanisms have been identified that can be demonstrated to occur when crude oils contact solid surfaces: polar interactions can occur on dry surfaces, surface precipitation is important if the oil is a poor solvent for its asphaltenes, and acid/base and ion-binding interactions occur in the presence of water. Specific instances when each of these mechanisms is dominant can be identified using crude oils of different acid number, base number, and solvent quality. Part 2 of this project is devoted to improved assessment of wetting. We report on a baseline study of crude oil interactions with mica surfaces that shows wettability alteration characteristics that are comparable to those reported previously for glass surfaces. Mica has advantages over amorphous glass that make it a better choice as a standard surface for wettability testing, especially for tests at high temperatures.

Final report AN - 18147953; 4465099 AB - The project concept originated in 1990 with the convergence of two problems: (1) a need for augmented injection to mitigate declining reservoir productivity at the Geysers; and (2) a need for a new method of wastewater disposal for Lake County communities near the The Geysers. A public/private partnership of Geysers operators and the Lake County Sanitation District (LACOSAN) was formed in 1991 to conduct a series of engineering, environmental, and financing studies of transporting treated wastewater effluent from the communities to the southeast portion of The Geysers via a 29-mile pipeline. By 1994, these evaluations concluded that the concept was feasible and the stakeholders proceeded to formally develop the project, including pipeline and associated facilities design; preparation of an environmental impact statement; negotiation of construction and operating agreements; and assembly of $45 million in construction funding from the stakeholders, and from state and federal agencies with related program goals. The project development process culminated in the system's dedication on October 16, 1997. As of this writing, all project components have been constructed or installed, successfully tested in compliance with design specifications, and are operating satisfactorily.

This set of data was utilized to estimate the basic radon background content and the range of its normal variations in groundwater along the fault zone. The results suggest that the establishment of such range is important when attempting to separate the usual groundwater radon fluctuations from other anomalous or earthquake related values. In addition, the seismic activity in the study region was statistically analyzed, and the completeness of the earthquake catalogue during the given time-window was estimated to be at magnitude M > or = 3.5.

Field exercises included soil gas radon measurements and radon exhalation measurements. In this report, we pooled the participants' data and used the ratio of the standard deviation (SD) to the arithmetic mean, expressed as a percentage, to assess participant agreement for each exercise. For the exhalation measurements from the 226Ra-spiked slab, this value is 37%; for soil gas 222Rn, this value is 120%, 36% and 27% for each depth range, 0.4-0.5, 0.6-0.75 and 0.9-1.0 m, respectively; for the surface exhalation measurements, this value is 34%. For the drum 222Rn measurements, the percent SD after removing a linear trend was 13%. These results indicate that sampling errors are greater than instrument errors.

Ethanol served as the bacterial carbon and energy source. The mine waters were treated at rates that ranged from 50-150 L day super(-1). Contaminant concentrations up to 13 mg L super(-1) copper, 0.1 mg L super(-1) mercury, 0.04 mg L super(-1) cadmium, 3.5 mg L super(-1) zinc, 0.68 mg L super(-1) cobalt, 1.3 mg L super(-1) nickel, 49 mg L super(-1) iron, and 63 mg L super(-1) aluminum were removed to meet water quality effluent limits. Manganese removal was about 80% under normal operating conditions but increased to 96% when the process was optimized for manganese removal. The process was shown to be capable of decreasing sulfate concentrations from 1800 mg L super(-1) to less than 250 mg L super(-1), nitrate from 100 mg L super(-1) to less than 1 mg L super(-1), arsenic from 8 mg L super(-1) to less than 0.03 mg L super(-1), and calcium from 310 mg L super(-1) to less than 100 mg L super(-1). Acid mine waters were neutralized using bacterially-generated alkalinity; no external alkalinity source was needed.

AN - 52525802; 1999-010244 AB - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in 1988, ruled that wastes associated with exploration, development and production of crude oil or natural gas were exempt from regulation under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Along with this ruling, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency created lists of wastes related to oil and natural gas exploration, development and production which were exempt from and not exempt from Subtitle C regulation. The key defining criteria as to whether a given waste is exempt or not exempt lies in the waste's application to the exploration, development or production of crude oil or natural gas. For a waste to be exempt, it must be unique to the oil and natural gas exploration, development or production industry. This criteria has been applied and modified throughout its existence to exempt several groups of such wastes. The correct application of this exemption to offshore oil and natural gas exploration, development or production is critical to successfully managing wastes associated with all aspects of offshore drilling. Too often, serious mistakes are made in offshore waste management due to a misunderstanding of the exemption. While many types of offshore service company wastes are well associated with hydrocarbon exploration and production, those wastes have equally strong associations with other non-hydrocarbon industries. Many wastes commonly associated with offshore service companies are not exempt and pose detailed requirements for storage and disposal. Understanding exactly what wastes meet the exemption and what wastes do not is critical to continued, successful and efficient offshore oil and gas exploration.

But uncontrolled coal emissions can devastate health and the environment. Developing countries can bridge environmental protection and economic growth by using clean coal technologies (CCTs). U. S. DOE identifies developing countries where U. S. CCTs can be beneficial. China, India, Thailand, Turkey, Poland, South Africa, and Brazil represent 40% ($518-$785 billion, 93$s) of the potential CCT market. All but Brazil have large coal-fired capacity. All seven countries forecast large growth in energy demand over the next decade. All plan to use coal-fired power. U. S. DOE's initiatives ensure that stakeholders in these countries consider CCTs. Three conditions must exist for CCTs to be used: (1) governments must enact and enforce environmental regulations; (2) an acceptable risk-reward balance must exist for financiers; and (3) electric customers must be willing and able to pay for electricity. Of the three conditions, attitudes towards environmental protection may be the most critical. For if financing can be arranged, and customers can pay their bills, developers will not automatically build CCTs, if there are no standards forcing their use. Up-front capital costs for CCTs are higher than PC systems. If the advantages of CCTs (higher efficiencies, environmental performance) are considered unimportant, developers and governments may have no incentives to invest the additional capital for CCTs. They can argue that the additional investment should be spent on other power plants or used for other projects. Many countries have environmental regulations, but enforcement is lax. Enforcement is a national issue, and outside influence may be limited. U. S. DOE works with developing countries in areas where it can assist. This paper addresses U. S. CCT initiatives including financing workshops and DOE's Vision 21 program to develop fuel-flexible, near zero emission emissions coal systems.

Six different organizations participated in this intercomparison which involved simultaneous and sequential co-located field measurements at a site with typical background radiation and another site with elevated (super 137) Cs concentrations in the soil. These field measurements were supplemented with laboratory-based measurements of point sources at three different energies and two different angles of irradiance. Among the participants, agreement in the field measurement results was generally within 15% of the group mean for each radionuclide. Comparisons to soil sample measurements at the background site show agreement of the group means to within 10% for the various radionuclides present after correcting for the effects of soil moisture. The point source measurement results indicate that the observed differences among groups may be related to systematic errors in their calibrations that result from uncertainty in the activities of the sources used, dissimilarities in the source-detector setup geometry, and inaccuracies in the detector model used in a theoretical calibration.

Such assignments can make a real difference in public policy makers' perceptions of the value of scientific information and can even effect changes in legislation and budget formulation. Providing high quality scientific information in support of proposed legislation, budget formulation, and policy debates is essential to giving earth science issues the recognition and attention they deserve in the highly competitive budgetary climate that exists today. The ability to articulate complex scientific issues clearly, succinctly, and persuasively to non-scientists is an essential skill needed for such assignments. Public Private Partnership 2000, co-sponsored by the Institute for Business and Home Safety and the Subcommittee on Natural Disaster Reduction, is producing a series of Forums aimed at finding innovative ways for the public and private sectors to grapple with tough policy problems where solutions are not easy in the area of natural disaster reduction. This activity supports both domestic and international loss reduction efforts and has provided geoscientists the opportunity to work outside their normal sphere of research to effect changes in national science policy.

We model rupture along an 80 segment of the zone. The entire length of the fault, if activated at one time, can lead to an event comparable to that of the 1995 Kobe earthquake. With the improved digital data now routinely available, it becomes possible to use recordings of small earthquakes as empirical Green's functions to synthesize potential ground motion for future large earthquakes. We developed a suite of 100 rupture scenarios for the earthquake and computed the commensurate strong ground motion time histories. We synthesized strong ground motion with physics-based solutions of earthquake rupture and applied physical bounds on rupture parameters. The synthesized ground motions obtained are source and site specific. By having a suite of rupture scenarios of hazardous earthquakes for a fixed magnitude and identifying the hazard to a site from the statistical distribution of engineering parameters, we have introduced a probabilistic component to the deterministic hazard calculation. The time histories suggested for engineering design are the ones that most closely match either the average or one standard deviation absolute accelerations response values.

We utilize an approach that has been developed to predict strong ground motion. this approach involves developing a set of rupture scenarios based upon bounds on rupture parameters. rupture parameters include rupture geometry, hypocenter, rupture roughness, rupture velocity, healing velocity (rise times), slip distribution, asperity size and location, and slip vector. Scenario here refers to specific values of these parameters for an hypothesized earthquake. Synthetic strong ground motion are then generated for each rupture scenario. A sufficient number of scenarios are run to span the variability in strong ground motion due to the source uncertainties. By having a suite of rupture scenarios of hazardous earthquakes for a fixed magnitude and identifying the hazard to the site from the one standard deviation value of engineering parameters we have introduced a probabilistic component to the deterministic hazard calculation, For this study we developed bounds on rupture scenarios from previous research on this earthquake. The time history closest to the observed ground motion was selected as a model for the Saguenay earthquake.

This MAPAR provides a status on specific DARHT facility design- and construction-related mitigation actions that have been initiated in order to fulfill DOE's commitments under the DARHT MAP. The functions of the DARHT MAP are to (1) document potentially adverse environmental impacts of the Phased Containment Option delineated in the Final EIS, (2) identify commitments made in the Final EIS and ROD to mitigate those potential impacts, and (3) establish Action Plans to carry out each commitment (DOE 1996). The DARHT MAP is divided into eight sections. Sections 1-5 provide background information regarding the NEPA review of the DARHT project and an introduction to the associated MAP. Section 6 references the Mitigation Action Summary Table which summaries the potential impacts and mitigation measures; indicates whether the mitigation is design-, construction-, or operational-related; the organization responsible for the mitigation measure; and the projected or actual completion data for each mitigation measure. Sections 7 and 8 discuss the Mitigation Action Plan Annual Report and Tracking System commitment and the Potential Impacts, Commitments, and Action Plans respectively. Under Section 8, potential impacts are categorized into five areas of concern: General Environment, including impacts to air and water; Soils, especially impacts affecting soil loss and contamination; Biotic Resources, especially impacts affecting threatened and endangered species; Cultural/Paleontological Resources, especially impacts affecting the archeological site known as Nake'muu; and Human Health and Safety, especially impacts pertaining to noise and radiation. Each potential impact includes a brief statement of the nature of the impact and its cause(s). The commitment made to mitigate the potential impact is identified and the Action Plan for each commitment is described in detail, with a description of actions to be taken, pertinent time frames for the actions, verification of mitigation activities, and identification of agencies/organizations responsible for satisfying the requirements of the commitment.

Understanding electrical properties as a function of saturation and temperature is also important because the determination of water saturation during field tests and laboratory experiments depends of reliable laboratory data. Spatial distribution and temporal variation of moisture content in the rock mass in the repository horizontal is one of the most important parameters needed in order to understand coupled TMHC processes. Geophysical methods are required to determine the moisture content in rock masses during thermal tests. These data are currently used in the inversion of electrical resistance tomography (ERT) and ground penetrating radar (GPR) measurements at the LBT, SHT, and the DST tests. This paper contains a description of the experimental procedure, sample preparation, data collection and data analyses for tuff samples from the ESF.

Also simulated is neutron well logging in wet sand to detect TCA and lead (Pb) at various uniform concentrations. The (super 3) H(d,n) (DT) and (super 2) H(d,n) (DD) neutron producing reactions are used in the simulations to assess the relative performance of each. Simulations are also performed to determine the efficiency of several detector materials such as CdZnTe, Ge and NaI as a function of photon energy. Results indicate that, by examining the signal from the 6.11 MeV gamma from the thermal neutron capture of Cl in TCA, trace amounts (few ppm) are detectable in saline free media. Water and TCA filled fractures are also detectable. These results are summarized in Tables 7-21. Motivation for this work is based on the need for detection of trace environmental pollutants as well as possible fracture characterization of geologic media.

In the United States the NRC must license a geologic repository to dispose of spent nuclear reactor fuel and high-level radioactive wastes from military reprocessing through phases of construction, operation, and closure. The DOE reported rates of hillslope denudation at Yucca Mountain, valley incision in bedrock over the repository block, and alluvial stream incision on the major drainage system in the area. These data were presented in combination with a regulatory compliance argument that concluded extreme erosion had not occurred during the Quaternary Period and that erosion would not jeopardize performance of a geologic repository system over the next 10,000 years, if located there. The NRC defined "extreme erosion" and the duration of the Quaternary Period in a qualitative regulatory context as one of 24 "potentially adverse conditions" (NRC, 1991) to be evaluated during site characterization. The DOE made a compliance argument using the NRC"s regulatory requirement, supplemented by qualitative definitions from internal NRC guidance. The NRC was critical of the DOE"s technical documentation and compliance argument because (1) the erosion assessment used time-averaged denudation rates, (2) erosion rates for the most recent 10,000 to 100,000 years of the Quaternary Period were not provided, and (3) multiple dating methods were not used to establish age of the surficial landforms examined. The DOE encountered several difficulties interpreting the regulation and its administrative record, framing a compliance argument, and documenting the data, analyses, and conclusions from a field study program. Among these, (1) the DOE misinterpreted the regulation and its administrative record by primarily relying on extant written guidance to explain how the NRC staff interpreted their regulation; (2) the DOE had no knowledge of how the NRC would evaluate a limited and specific compliance argument against their regulation; (3) the DOE"s technical documentation, in retrospect, was not robust enough to meet the NRC"s expectations of high confidence in conclusions accompanied by low uncertainty; and (4) the NRC"s comments implied expectations for geochronologic accuracy and degree of resolution that may be considered beyond the state of the practice.

The successful design of a surfactant enhanced DNAPL recovery system requires a quantitative understanding of the competing processes of DNAPL solubilization and mobilization, and sorption, precipitation, and microbial degradation of injected surfactant components. An innovative new site-characterization technology, the single-well, push-pull test method, is currently under development at Oregon State University and has been successfully used in the field to determine a wide range of aquifer physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. A push-pull test consists of the controlled injection of a prepared test solution into a single monitoring well followed by the extraction of the test solution/groundwater mixture from the same well. The type, combination, and concentration of injected solutes is selected to investigate specific aquifer characteristics. The overall goal of this project is to further develop the single-well, push-pull test method as a new site characterization and feasibility assessment tool for studying the fundamental fate and transport behavior of injected surfactants and their ability to solubilize and mobilize DNAPLs in the subsurface. The specific objectives are: (1) to develop a modified push-pull test for use in identifying and quantifying the effects of sorption, precipitation, and biodegradation on the fate and transport of injected surfactants, (2) to use the developed test method to quantify the effects of these processes on the ability of injected surfactants to solubilize and mobilize residual phase trichloroethylene, and (3) to demonstrate the utility of the developed test method for performing site characterization and feasibility studies for surfactant enhanced DNAPL recovery systems.

These laboratory studies used Ottawa sand and field soil packed columns. The columns were saturated, then reduced to residual saturations of water and NAPL, creating a three phase system of air, water, and NAPL. Conservative and partitioning gas tracers were injected into the column and their elutions were analyzed. The method of moments was used to estimate partition coefficients between the air and NAPL phases for each of the tracers. The partition coefficients and retardation factors are used to select appropriate tracers for NAPL detection and volume estimation in the field. This research identified several perfluorocarbon tracers suitable for use in the field and demonstrated the feasibility of using partitioning tracers as a tool for NAPL detection and volume estimation in the vadose zone.

Tunnels through the unsaturated zone at Rainier Mesa have encountered perched water and, after the perched water was drained, flow in fractures and faults. Although flow observations have been primarily qualitative, Rainier Mesa hydrology is a potential analog for Yucca Mountain hydrology in a wetter climate. In this paper, a groundwater flow model that has been used in the performance assessment of Yucca Mountain--the weeps model--is applied to Rainier Mesa. The intent is to gain insight in both Rainier Mesa and the weeps flow model.

To support this hypothesis, the authors began to search for both thermophilic and psychrophilic iron-reducing bacteria because iron-reducing capacity may be a widely distributed trait if ancestral microorganisms include extremophilic iron-reducing bacteria. To date, they have obtained thermophilic Fe(III)-reducing and magnetite-forming enrichment cultures from geologically and hydrologically isolated, millions of years-old deep terrestrial subsurface samples. Three dominant bacteria were identified based on 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequences. Phylogenetical analysis indicated that these bacteria were closely related to Thermoanaerobacter ethanoliticus. Two pure thermophilic iron-reducing bacteria have been isolated and characterized from these enrichments, they also are able to degrade cellulose and xylan. Geological evidence indicated that these bacteria were separated from modern organisms for about 200 million years, and they are the oldest isolated bacteria available now. Evolutionary sequence analysis showed that the 16S rRNA genes evolved extremely slowly in these bacteria. In addition, the authors have obtained about 30 psychrophilic iron-reducing bacteria in samples from Siberia and Alaska permafrost soils, Pacific marine sediments and Hawaii deep sea water.

The isolation of both thermophilic and psychrophilic iron-reducing bacteria from surface and subsurface environments has significant implications for microbial evolution and for studying the origin of life in extraterrestrial environments.

The facility has since undergone severe degradation due to exposure to extreme weather conditions. A freeze and thaw cycle occurred at the Hanford Site during February 1996, which caused cracking failure of portions of the building roof. This resulted in significant infiltration of water into the facility, which creates a pathway for potential release of radioactive material into the environment (air and/or ground). Additionally, the weather caused existing cracks in concrete structures of the building to lengthen, thereby increasing the potential for failed confinement of the building's radioactive material. Differential settlement has also occurred, causing portions of the facility to separate from the main building structure, increasing the potential for release of radioactive material to the environment. An expedited response is proposed to remove this threat and ensure protection of human health and the environment.

The objective was to determine whether this technique could be used to control and minimize CaCO(sub 3) scale formation. It was found that a concentration of 0.7 vol. % CO(sub 2) is required to maintain the water at its original, influent pH value of 7.4, but lower concentrations may be effective in controlling scale. There is also a possibility of reducing CO(sub 2) consumption by recycling the CO(sub 2)-rich air. The use of CO(sub 2) injection at Site 300 water treatment is reviewed.

Air monitoring data presented are the most recent complete sets of quarterly data. Significant data, defined as data values that have exceeded defined 'above normal' Level 2 values, are discussed in this letter for Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMP) generated data only. Above normal Level 2 values are based, in ES&H procedures, on historical high values, DOE Derived Concentration Guides (DCGs), NPDES limits and other guidelines. The procedures also establish actions to be taken in the event that 'above normal' data occur. All data received and verified during the first quarter were within a permissible range of variability. Tables present the most recent data for air and the data merged into the data base during the first quarter 1998 for groundwater, NPDES, surface water, and springs. Graphs showing concentrations of selected contaminants of concern at some of the critical locations have also been included in this QEDS. The graphs are discussed in the separate sections.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-03-24 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Water adsorption at high temperature on core samples from The Geysers geothermal field AN - 18160398; 4467214 AB - The quantity of water retained by rock samples taken from three wells located in The Geysers geothermal reservoir, California, was measured at 150, 200, and 250 C as a function of pressure in the range 0.00 (le) p/p(sub 0) (le) 0.98, where p(sub 0) is the saturated water vapor pressure. Both adsorption (increasing pressure) and desorption (decreasing pressure) runs were made in order to investigate the nature and the extent of the hysteresis. Additionally, low temperature gas adsorption analyses were performed on the same rock samples. Nitrogen or krypton adsorption and desorption isotherms at 77 K were used to obtain BET specific surface areas, pore volumes and their distributions with respect to pore sizes. Mercury intrusion porosimetry was also used to obtain similar information extending to very large pores (macropores). A qualitative correlation was found between the surface properties obtained from nitrogen adsorption and the mineralogical and petrological characteristics of the solids. However, there is in general no proportionality between BET specific surface areas and the capacity of the rocks for water adsorption at high temperatures. The results indicate that multilayer adsorption rather than capillary condensation is the dominant water storage mechanism at high temperatures.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-06-22 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Nuclear magnetic resonance measurement of ammonia diffusion in dense solid-liquid slurries. Revision 1 AN - 18155180; 4465101 AB - The flammability and toxicity of ammonia released from the nuclear waste tanks at Hanford have been the subject of several recent studies. These releases may occur episodically, such as the buoyant plume releases occurring in various double-shell tanks (DSTs); gradually through the surface of the waste; or from the partially saturated saltcakes in the single-shell tanks during salt-well pumping. The diffusion of ammonium ions in aqueous solutions was measured by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) using the pulsed field gradient (PFG) method. The ammonium ions were obtained from aqueous solutions of ammonium chloride, ammonium sulfate, ammonium bicarbonate, and ammonium hydroxide. The translational diffusion of the ammonium ions was determined by measuring the diffusion of nitrogen nuclei in solution. Results showed that the ammonium diffusion coefficient can be measured in aqueous solutions with concentrations as low as 20 (times) 10(sup (minus)3) (und M). Typical values measured for the diffusion coefficient of the ammonium ion are 2 (times) 10(sup (minus)5) cm(sup 2)/s ((+- )10%), similar to the values found for pure water. Due to the effect of the solution pH upon the NMR relaxation parameters for (sup 14)N, measurements are constrained to pH values below 8.5. However, (sup 15)N labeled ammonia is less sensitive to the solution pH, extending the measurement range to pH of 9.5. The results show that the solution viscosity has a measurable impact on the diffusion coefficient. The diffusion coefficient is almost inversely proportional to the relative viscosity of the solution, irrespective of how the viscosity is increased. Further, a randomly-packed porous bed of 200 (micro)m PMMA resulted in a reduction of (approximately) 30% in the diffusion coefficient as a result of hindered diffusion.

Construction was completed in late fall of 1993, and the shakedown was completed in early 1994. The initial series of tests performed to prove the process and to characterize the effluents was conducted during the first half of 1994. The results of those tests are described in the final report for Phase I. This report describes the activities conducted during Phase II of the project the objective of which was to move the process, which was proven during Phase I, a step closer to commercialization. Specifically, the work was planned to lower the cost of the process by developing a high-capacity processor, increasing the already high efficiency of the process by using a feed coal preheated, increasing the bulk density of the product by using mixed particle size extrudate, and preparing a preliminary scoping design for the water treatment plant for a 500,000 ton per year commercial plant.

However, SRS- through its prime operating contractor, Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC)- continues to maintain a comprehensive environmental monitoring program. In 1996, effluent monitoring and environmental surveillance were conducted within a 31,000-square-mile area in and around SRS that includes neighboring cities, towns, and counties in Georgia and South Carolina and extends up to 100 miles from the site. Though the environmental monitoring program was streamlined in 1996-to improve its cost- effectiveness without compromising data quality or reducing its overall ability to produce critical information-thousands of samples of air, surface water, groundwater, food products, drinking water, wildlife, rainwater, soil, sediment, and vegetation were collected and analyzed for radioactive and nonradioactive contaminants.

N1 - Last updated - 2014-05-07 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Electrokinetic demonstration at the unlined chromic acid pit AN - 17653492; 4465313 AB - Heavy-metal contaminated soils are a common problem at Department of Energy (DOE)-operated sites and privately owned facilities throughout the nation. One emerging technology which can remove heavy metals from soil in situ is electrokinetics. To conduct electrokinetic (EK) remediation, electrodes are implanted into the ground, and a direct current is imposed between the electrodes. Metal ions dissolved in the soil pore water migrate towards an electrode where they can be removed. The electrokinetic program at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) has been focusing on electrokinetic remediation for unsaturated soils. A patent was awarded for an electrokinetic electrode system designed at SNL for applications to unsaturated soils. Current research described in this report details an electrokinetic remediation field demonstration of a chromium plume that resides in unsaturated soil beneath the SNL Chemical Waste Landfill (CWL). This report describes the processes, site investigation, operation and monitoring equipment, testing procedures, and extraction results of the electrokinetic demonstration. This demonstration successfully removed chromium contamination in the form of chromium(VI) from unsaturated soil at the field scale. After 2700 hours of operation, 600 grams of Cr(VI) was extracted from the soil beneath the SNL CWL in a series of thirteen tests. The contaminant was removed from soil which has moisture contents ranging from 2 to 12 weight percent. This demonstration was the first EK field trial to successfully remove contaminant ions from and soil at the field scale. Although the new patented electrode system was successful in removing an anionic contaminant (i.e., chromate) from unsaturated sandy soil, the electrode system was a prototype and has not been specifically engineered for commercialization. A redesign of the electrode system as indicated by the results of this research is suggested for future EK field trials.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-03-24 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Results of Phase I groundwater quality assessment for single-shell tank waste management Area S-SX at the Hanford Site AN - 17652148; 4465105 AB - Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) conducted a Phase I, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) groundwater quality assessment for the Richland Field Office of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE-RL), in accordance with the Federal Facility Compliance Agreement. The purpose of the investigation was to determine if the Single-Shell Tank Waste Management Area (WMA) S-SX has impacted groundwater quality. The WMA is located in the southern portion of the 200 West Area of the Hanford Site and consists of the 241-S and 241-SX tank farms and ancillary waste systems. The unit is regulated under RCRA interim- status regulations (40 CFR 265, Subpart F) and was placed in assessment groundwater monitoring (40 CFR 265.93 (d)) in August 1996 because of elevated specific conductance and technetium-99, a non-RCRA co-contaminant, in downgradient monitoring wells. Major findings of the assessment are summarized below: (1) Distribution patterns for radionuclides and RCRA/dangerous waste constituents indicate WMA S-SX has contributed to groundwater contamination observed in downgradient monitoring wells. (2) Drinking water standards for nitrate and technetium-99 are currently exceeded in one RCRA- compliant well (299-W22-46) located at the southeastern comer of the SX tank farm. (3) Technetium-99, nitrate, and chromium concentrations in downgradient well 299-W22-46 (the well with the highest current concentrations) appear to be declining after reaching maximum concentrations in May 1997. (4) Cesium-137 and strontium-90, major constituents of concern in single-shell tank waste, were not detected in any of the RCRA-compliant wells in the WMA network, including the well with the highest current technetium-99 concentrations (299-W22-46). (5) Low but detectable strontium-90 and cesium-137 were found in one old well (2-W23-7), located inside and between the S and SX tank farms.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-03-24 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Relative risk site evaluation for buildings 7740 and 7741 Fort Campbell, Kentucky AN - 17649296; 4464915 AB - Buildings 7740 and 7741 are a part of a former nuclear weapon's storage and maintenance facility located in the southeastern portion of Fort Campbell, Kentucky. This underground tunnel complex was originally used as a classified storage area beginning in 1949 and continuing until 1969. Staff from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory recently completed a detailed Relative Risk Site Evaluation of the facility. This evaluation included (1) obtaining engineering drawings of the facility and associated structures, (2) conducting detailed radiological surveys, (3) air sampling, (4) sampling drainage systems, and (5) sampling the underground wastewater storage tank. Ten samples were submitted for laboratory analysis of radionuclides and priority pollutant metals, and two samples submitted for analysis of volatile organic compounds. No volatile organic contaminants were detected using field instruments or laboratory analyses. However, several radionuclides and metals were detected in water and/or soil/sediment samples collected from this facility. Of the radionuclides detected, only (sup 226)Ra may have come from facility operations; however, its concentration is at least one order of magnitude below the relative-risk comparison value. Several metals (arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, copper, mercury, lead, and antimony) were found to exceed the relative-risk comparison values for water, while only arsenic, cadmium, and lead were found to exceed the relative risk comparison values for soil. Of these constituents, it is believed that only arsenic, beryllium, mercury, and lead may have come from facility operations. Other significant hazards posed by the tunnel complex include radon exposure and potentially low oxygen concentrations (<19.5% in atmosphere) if the tunnel complex is not allowed to vent to the outside air. Asbestos-wrapped pipes, lead-based paint, rat poison, and possibly a selenium rectifier are also present within the tunnel complex.

A certified reference material (CRM 392) was used for the evaluation of the performance of the methods. Soxhlet-Dean-Starch with toluene as solvent, Soxhlet with hexane:acetone (2:3), cold digestion/saponification with 2 mol/L KOH in methanol followed by partition with hexane, and sonicated liquid-solid extraction with hexane:acetone (1:1) produced accurate results (97%, 93%, 104%, and 88%, respectively) with acceptable precisions (6.2%, 6.8%, 15% and 12%, respectively). Results in close agreement with the certified value for all congeners were obtained by treatment with BF sub(3)-methanol prior to partition with dichloromethane. However, this is a tedious procedure and involves the use of hazardous compounds. Cyclic steam distillation produced results with an accuracy of around 80% and a good precision (5.2%). The very low consumption of solvents and other expensive chemicals by this technique and the possibility of analyzing the extract directly without clean-up make it an interesting alternative to the more sophisticated methods. Column elution with dichloromethane was found to be less efficient (61%), but it is a rapid, direct method with a low consumption of solvents and it may therefore serve as screening method.

As far as 10 km downwind of the facility, super(14)C concentrations were significantly higher in growth rings formed during a fuel processing episode than in rings produced during preoperational or postoperational episodes. An episode of uranium mill tailings deposition in pond sediments at the Grand Junction Office in Colorado was reconstructed using super(210)Pb geochronology constrained by a marker of peak super(137)Cs fallout. Uranium concentrations in ponds sediments deposited after the processing episode provide a reasonable cleanup standard. These reference episodes of environmental radioactivity reconstructed from measurements taken within contaminated environments can improve or replace reference area data as baseline information for dose reconstructions, risk assessments, and the establishment of cleanup standards.

In our target city of Los Angeles, annual residential air-conditioning (A/C) bills can be reduced directly by about US$100 M and, because these strategies serve to cool the air in the Los Angeles basin and reduce smog exceedance levels by about 10%, an additional savings of US$70 M in indirect cooling and US$360 M in smog-reduction benefits - a total savings of about US$1/2 B per year - is possible. Trees are most effective if they shade buildings, but the savings are significant even if they merely cool the air by evapotranspiration. In Los Angeles, avoided peak power for air conditioning can reach about 1.5 GW (more than 15% of the city's air conditioning). Generalized to the entire US, we estimate that 25 GW can be avoided with potential annual benefits of about US$5 B by the year 2015. Recent steps taken by cities in the warm half of US towards adoption of cool communities include (1) incorporation of cool roofs in the revised ASHRAE building standards S90.1 and (2) inclusion of cool surfaces and shade trees as tradeable smog-offset credits in Los Angeles. Other step underway include (1) plans by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to approve heat island mitigation measures in the state implementation plan to comply with ozone standards and (2) plans for ratings and labeling of cool surfaces.

To assess the performance of each X ray room surveyed, the mean of the entrance surface dose for patients whose statistics were close to a standard patient (70 kg weight and 20 cm AP trunk thickness) were compared to the Commission of the European Communities guideline values for chest PA, lumbar spine AP, pelvis/abdomen AP and skull AP examinations. The third quartiles dose values were 1.3 mGy, 14.5 mGy, 12.0 mGy and 7.9 mGy for chest PA, lumbar spine AP, pelvis/abdomen AP and skull AP respectively. Analysis of the data show that 86%, 58%, 37.5% and 50% of radiographic rooms delivered a mean dose greater than the CEC guideline values for chest PA, lumbar spine AP, pelvis/abdomen and skull AP respectively. This suggests that radiographic departments should undertake a review of their radiographic practice in order to bring their doses to optimum levels.

This estimate is based on the analysis of super(237)Np/ super(239)Pu atom ratios (0 times 7 plus or minus 0 times 2) in soil samples believed to have captured the entire global fallout record. In the course of several studies dealing with the behavior of transuranic radionuclides in different ecosystems, we measured the super(237)Np/ super(239)Pu atom ratios in a variety of soils throughout the northern hemisphere, including repetitive analyses of the soils used to establish the ratio cited above. Our data argue for a global super(237)Np/ super(239)Pu fallout ratio near 0 times 45 and a total super(237)Np production of similar to 1 times 5 tons.

The results provided the first baseline data on these substances in north Vietnam. Cyclodienes were below the detection limit, which indicated that they were never used in north Vietnam. The concentrations of HCH isomers were low, probably originating from non-local sources. The concentrations of DDT in sediment and biota were the highest of all the detected chlorinated hydrocarbons. This pesticide was used in the rainy season in the Red river valley, thence transported to the coastal areas via dilution into water and sediments. There was concern over population exposure to this cancer-promoting group of pesticides. An assessment of pollution problems together with integrated catchment management is suggested.

Although it was possible to fit the relationships between the organic matter contents of the sediment samples and the activity concentrations for radium-226, radium-228, polonium-210 and caesium-137 to a line using the best fit square function, the regression coefficients showed an insignificant correlation. The levels of anthropogenic radioactivity found can be attributed to global fallout, and do not indicate any enhancement by anthropogenic influx from the hinterland. The potential radiological impact on man of the low levels of caesium-137 found is probably insignificant; activity concentrations of caesium-137 ranged from 1.74 to 9.36 Bq in Port Sudan and from 0.49 to 8.99 Bq in Sawakin.

Concurrent physical and chemical nonequilibrium caused by inter aggregate gradients of pressure head and solute concentration and intra- aggregate geochemical and microbiological processes, respectively, may arise at various scales and flowpaths. To this date, experimental investigations of these complex processes at watershed scale remain a challenge and numerical studies are often needed for guidance of water resources management and decision making. This research integrates the knowledge bases developed during previous experimental and numerical investigations at a proposed waste disposal site at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory to study the concurrent effects of physical and chemical nonequilibrium. Comparison of numerical results with field data indicates that: (1) multiregion, preferential flow and solute transport exist under partially saturated condition and can be confirmed theoretically, and that (2) mass transfer between pore regions is an important process influencing contaminant movement in the subsurface. Simulations of watershed scale, multi species reactive solute transport suggest that dominance of geochemistry and hydrodynamics may occur simultaneously at different locales and influence the movement of one species relative to another. Execution times on the simulations of the reactive solute transport model also indicate that the model is ready to assist the selection of important parameters for site characterization.

To support this effort, developmental engineering studies have been formed for aspects of the process to help ensure safe and effective operation. Subscale agitation studies have been preformed to identify a suitable mixing head and speed for the primary reaction vessel agitator. Mechanisms for feeding solid waste materials to the primary reaction vessel have been investigated. Filtration to remove solid field process residue, and the use of various filtration aids, has been studied. Extended compatibility studies on the materials of construction have been performed. Due to a change to Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site (RFETS) for the mixed waste portion of the demonstration, types of wastes suitable and appropriate for treatment at RFETS had to be chosen. A Prototype unit has been fabricated and will be demonstrated on hazardous and mixed wastes at Savannah River Site (SRS) and RFETS during 1997 and 1998. The unit is in shakedown testing at present. Data validation and an engineering evaluation will be performed during the demonstration.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Role of nuclear energy in mitigating greenhouse warming AN - 17577311; 4466966 AB - A behavioral, top-down, forced-equilibrium market model of long-term ((approximately) 2,100) global energy-economics interactions has been modified with a bottom-up nuclear energy model and used to construct consistent scenarios describing future impacts of civil nuclear materials flows in an expanding, multi-regional (13) world economy. The relative measures and tradeoffs between economic (GNP, tax impacts, productivity, etc.), environmental (greenhouse gas accumulations, waste accumulation, proliferation risk), and energy (resources, energy mixes, supply-side versus demand-side attributes) interactions that emerge from these analyses are focused herein on advancing understanding of the role that nuclear energy (and other non-carbon energy sources) might play in mitigating greenhouse warming. Two ostensibly opposing scenario drivers are investigated: (a) demand-side improvements in (non-price-induced) autonomous energy efficiency improvements; and (b) supply- side carbon-tax inducements to shift energy mixes towards reduced- or non- carbon forms. In terms of stemming greenhouse warming for minimal cost of greenhouse- gas abatement, and with the limitations of the simplified taxing schedule used, a symbiotic combination of these two approaches may offer advantages not found if each is applied separately.

The objective of these studies was to provide recommendations for actions that will reduce or eliminate deaths and injuries, reduce pollution from accidents and operations, and protect resources and structures from loss. Several recurring themes are woven through many of these reports. The themes deal with using technology already available and demonstrated, using risk analyses to establish priorities for use of resources (such as inspection facilities and personnel) despite the lack of data for decision making, using advanced tools for inspection and monitoring, and using long-term monitoring to gauge performance.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-03-24 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Supplement analysis for Greenville Gate access to Kirschbaum Field at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory AN - 17171469; 4465082 AB - The National Ignition Facility (NIF) Program proposes to provide additional access to the Kirschbaum Field construction laydown area. This additional access would alleviate traffic congestion at the East Gate entrance to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) from Greenville Road during periods of heavy construction for the NIF. The new access would be located along the northeastern boundary of LLNL, about 305 m (1,000 ft) north of the East Gate entrance. The access road would extend from Greenville Road to the Kirschbaum Field construction laydown area and would traverse an existing storm water drainage channel. Two culverts, side by side, and a compacted road base would be installed across the channel. The security fence that runs parallel to Greenville Road would be modified to accommodate this new entrance and a vehicle gate would be installed at the entrance of Kirschbaum Field. The exiting shoulder along Greenville Road would be converted into a new turn lane for trucks entering the new gate. This analysis evaluates the impacts of constructing the Kirschbaum Field bridge and access gate at a different location than was analyzed in the NIF Project specific Analysis in the Final Programmatic environmental Impact Statement for Stockpile Stewardship and Management (SS and M PEIS) published in September 1996 (DOE/EIS-0236) and the Record of Decision published on December 19, 1996. Issues of concern addressed in this supplement analysis include potential impacts to wetlands downstream of the access bridge, potential impacts to the California red-legged frog (Rana aurora draytonii) listed as threatened on the federal listing pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1974, and potential impacts on the 100-yr floodplain along the Arroyo Las Positas.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-03-24 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Modulation with cytokines of radiation injury: suggested mechanisms of action. AN - 79557132; 9467064 AB - Cytokines, hormonelike proteins, produced by stimulated cells and tissues, were found to protect mice against lethal hematopoietic failure caused by ionizing radiation. Radioprotection was achieved by pretreatment with interleukin-1 (IL-1), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), IL-12, or stem cell factor (SCF) at 18 to 24 hr before irradiation. Pretreatment with antibodies to these cytokines rendered the mice more susceptible to radiation lethality, indicating that these cytokines play a role in innate resistance to radiation. In contrast, treatment with tumor growth factor beta (TGF-beta), a cytokine that inhibits cycling of primitive hematopoietic progenitors, sensitized mice to radiation lethality. The schedule of IL-1 administration was critical to its radioprotective effect. Evidence was obtained that this may be based on the induction of additional cytokines by IL-1. The radioprotective effects of cytokines can be based on induction of cycling of primitive progenitor cells (IL-1, SCF), prevention of apoptosis (SCF), and induction of scavenging proteins and enzymes (IL-1, TNF) that reduce oxidative damage. In contrast, radiosensitizing effects may be due to inhibition of progenitor cycling (TGF-beta) or enhanced progenitor cell apoptosis (TGF-beta). Thus, the insights gained from such studies at the whole-animal level promise a better understanding of the membrane and intracellular events associated with radiation damage and repair of such damage.

AN - 79556709; 9467066 AB - Studies on mechanisms of radioprotection are leading to a more rational use of protectors for different applications. In considering the feasibility of radioprotectors that act through various mechanisms, it is necessary to distinguish the application needed, e.g., protection against accidental external or internal exposures, acute high-dose radiation injury or low doses over a long period, high-LET radiation exposures during space flight, and protection of normal tissues of cancer patients who are undergoing therapy. Protectors generally are classified as either sulfhydryl compounds, other antioxidants, or receptor-mediated agents (e.g., bioactive lipids, cytokines, and growth factors). This review focuses on comparative radioprotection and toxicity studies in mice using the most effective phosphorothioate agents designated as WR-compounds and other classes of protectors. The superiority of phosphorothioates (WR-2721, WR-151327) as radioprotectors appears to be related to their high affinity for DNA and the similarity in structure of phosphorothioate metabolites to polyamines, and their effects on processes related to DNA structure and synthesis. Drug tolerance levels are available from clinical trials using WR-2721 (amifostine) and provide a basis for discussions of the disadvantages of phosphorothioate administration outside a clinical setting. In this regard, arguments are presented against the current use of WR-2721 by Department of Energy personnel for planned radiation exposures during emergencies. Future research may demonstrate, however, that pharmacologic agents could be useful in accident scenarios, especially when used in combination with therapeutic measures. Assessment of potential prophylactic measures should consider compatibility with therapeutic measures currently in use or ones that might be available in the future for the treatment of radiation injuries.

Their potential usefulness against radiation-induced mutagenesis of pre- and postexposure administration of phosphorothioates and other classes of protectors should be corroborated in humans.

The study does not analyze the costs or technology necessary to achieve the estimates of the ultimate recoverable oil and gas. This study uses reservoir data to estimate recoverable oil and gas quantities which were aggregated to the field level. Field totals were summed to a basin total for discovered fields. An estimate of undiscovered oil and gas, from work of the US Geological Survey (USGS), was added to give a total basin resource volume. Recent production decline points out Russia's need to continue development of its discovered recoverable oil and gas. Continued exploration is required to discover additional oil and gas that remains undiscovered in the basin. JF - DOE/EIA (U. S. Department of Energy.

Compared to current standards for magnetotelluric data processing, the multivariate approach is unique in that all available data channels are used simultaneously. The approach is outlined in this report. Using Multmtrn, a program for multiple station analysis of magnetotelluric data, the author achieved significant improvements in apparent resistivity and phase estimates in initial tests. Examples of the use of this approach are given including: Carrizo Plain and Parkfield electromagnetic profiling data; sea floor magnetotelluric (MT) data from the Gulf of Mexico; MT survey in a culturally noisy area of Bavaria; and Parkfield/Hollister earthquake monitoring array data. Experience with these projects has resulted in an improved program. The new version of the code is available at http://www.cg.NRCan.gc.ca/mtnet/mtnet.html or by contacting egbert(at)oce.orst.edu.

This project thus combines the disciplines of geology, seismology, geodesy, soil dynamics, and earthquake engineering into a fully integrated approach. Once completed, the Campus-Laboratory Collaboration (CLC) project will provide a template to evaluate other buildings at each of the four UC campuses, as well as provide a methodology for evaluating seismic hazards at other critical sites in California, including other University of California (UC) locations at risk from large earthquakes. Another important objective of the CLC project is the education of students and other professional in the application of this integrated, multidisciplinary, state-of-the-art approach to the assessment of earthquake hazard. For each campus targeted by the CLC project, the seismic hazard study will consist of four phases: Phase I - Initial source and site characterization, Phase II - Drilling, logging, seismic monitoring, and laboratory dynamic soil testing, Phase III - Modeling of predicted site- specific earthquake ground motions, and Phase IV - Calculations of 3D building response. This report cover Phase I for the UCSB campus and includes results up through March 1997. JF - Initial source and site characterization studies for the U. C.

Success is measured in terms of technical feasibility of the approach (i.e., % void filling), cost, environmental benefits (acid mine drainage and subsidence control) and environmental impacts (noxious ion release). During Phase 3, the majority of the activity involves completing two full scale demonstration projects. The second demonstration involved stowing 2,000 tons of ash into an abandoned mine to demonstrate the newly redesigned Burnett Ejector. This demonstration took place during the winter of 1997. This document reports on progress made during Phase 3. The report is divided into four major sections. The first is the Hydraulic Injection component, reporting on progress and milestones associated with the grouting activities of the project. The Phase 3 tasks of Economic Analysis and Regulatory Analysis are covered under this section. The second component is Pneumatic Injection. This section reports on progress made towards completing the demonstration project. The Water Quality component involves background monitoring of water quality and precipitation at the Phase 3 (Longridge) mine site. The last component involves evaluating the migration of contaminants through the grouted mine. A computer model has been developed in earlier phases and models the flow of water in and around the grouted Longridge mine.

The two technologies for the underground placement that were to be developed and demonstrated are: (1) pneumatic placement using virtually dry CCB products, and (2) hydraulic placement using a paste mixture of CCB products with about 70% solids. The period covered by this report is the second quarter of Phase 3 of the overall program. During this period over 8,000 tons of CCB mixtures was injected using the hydraulic paste technology. This amount of material virtually filled the underground opening around the injection well, and was deemed sufficient to demonstrate fully the hydraulic injection technology. By the end of this quarter about 2,000 tons of fly ash had been placed underground using the pneumatic placement technology. While the rate of injection of about 50 tons per hour met design criteria, problems were experienced in the delivery of fly ash to the pneumatic demonstration site. The source of the fly ash, the Archer Daniels Midland Company power plant at Decatur, Illinois is some distance from the demonstration site, and often sufficient tanker trucks are not available to haul enough fly ash to fully load the injection equipment. Further, on some occasions fly ash from the plant was not available. The injection well was plugged three times during the demonstration. This typically occurred due to cementation of the FBC ash in contact with water. After considerable deliberations and in consultation with the technical project officer, it was decided to stop further injection of CCB's underground using the developed pneumatic technology.

One of the most crucial parts of this modeling was the source term or release model. The current study used information collected over the last five years defining contaminant specific information including: the amount disposed, the waste form (physical and chemical properties) and the type of container used for each contaminant disposed. This information was used to simulate the release of contaminants disposed in the shallow subsurface at the SDA. The DUST-MS model was used to simulate the release. Modifications were made to allow the yearly disposal information to be incorporated. The modeling includes unique container and release rate information for each of the 42 years of disposal. The results from this simulation effort are used for both a groundwater and a biotic uptake evaluation. As part of this modeling exercise, inadequacies in the available data relating to the release of contaminants have been identified.

The ultimate goal of this effort is to install a treatment system that will remove uranium, technetium, nitrate, and several metals from groundwater before it reaches Bear Creek. This project, the Bear Creek Valley treatability study Phase 2 hydraulic performance testing, directly supports the Bear Creek Valley Feasibility Study. Specific project objectives include (1) installing monitoring and extraction wells, (2) installing a groundwater extraction trench, (3) performing pumping tests of the extraction wells and trench, (4) determining hydraulic gradients, and (5) collecting water quality parameters. The primary purpose of environmental data management is to provide a system for generating and maintaining technically defensible data. To meet current regulatory requirements for the Environmental Restoration Program, complete documentation of the information flow must be established. To do so, each step in the data management process (collection, management, storage, and analysis) must be adequately planned and documented. This document will serve to identify data management procedures, expected data types and flow, and roles and responsibilities for all data management activities associated with this project.

These experiments were recently shut down and have been examined in accordance with a detailed waste form and soil sampling plan. Ion-exchange resins from a commercial nuclear power station were solidified into waste forms using portland cement and vinyl ester-styrene. These waste forms were tested to (a) obtain information on performance of waste forms in typical disposal environments, (b) compare field results with bench leach studies, (c) develop a low-level waste data base for use in performance assessment source term calculations, and (d) apply the DUST computer code to compare predicted cumulative release to actual field data. The program includes observed radionuclide releases from waste forms in field lysimeters. The purpose of this paper is to present the experimental results of two lysimeter arrays after 10 years of operation, and to compare those results to bench test results and to DUST code predictions of releases using recently developed partition coefficients. This paper discusses soil and waste form sampling in which vertical cores were removed from the lysimeter soil columns for laboratory characterization. Those samples are analyzed for radionuclide movement from the waste forms and through the soil columns. Further analysis of soil cores taken to define the observed upward migration of radionuclides in one lysimeter is also presented.

Measurements of the electrical response of silver-coated copper electrodes distributed along a Teflon probe inserted into sterile and inoculated layers containing either ferric chloride, ferric citrate, or ferric oxide rich soil were recorded over hours or days. Strong electrical signals reached values more negative than -400 mV for all types of inoculated ferric iron layers. Electric signals in sterile control layers, by contrast, rarely reached values more negative than -150 mV. These preliminary experiments indicate that it may be possible to apply the self-potential geophysical method to monitor bioremediation in the field.

The authors are exploring the use of (super 16) s ribosomal DNA intergenic spacer regions (ISRs) to profile community composition. The choice proves to be a good one: there are 200-550 bases of 1 to 3 variable regions from which to choose species-specific probes, as well as 2-4 stretches of conserved sequence from which to develop universal PCR (polymerase chain reaction) primers. Preliminary community characterization is complete, and several types of arrays are under development to determine the types of bacteria present and the status of the ground water. Profiling the community composition of polluted groundwater will impact the broad field of microbial ecology as well as mixed-waste bioremediation. Results The samples the authors have been analysing were provided by Dr. Fred Brockman from Pacific Northwest Laboratory, and were collected at the US DOE Hanford site, Washington state. The samples were microbial filtrates from ground water polluted with 2 mg/L carbon tetrachloride and 250 mg/L nitrate and subjected to enrichment (acetate + nitrate) and recirculation. This project is described in some detail in PNNL-11113, Accelerated In Situ Bioremediation of Groundwater, by M. J. Truex, B. S. Hooker, and D. B. Anderson, July 1996.

The simulations also reveal the sensitivity of transport results to different weighting schemes for hydraulic conductivities used in liquid flux calculations. Results indicate that coupling TOUGH2 and FEHM is a viable method for simulating flow and transport at Yucca Mountain when a modified upstream weighting scheme is used to simulate the flow fields.

A table lists the criteria, air toxic, and greenhouse gas pollutants for which emissions were estimated for the alternative fuel scenarios. Air quality impacts were then estimated by performing photochemical modeling of the alternative fuel scenarios using the Urban Airshed Model Version 6.21 and the Carbon Bond Mechanism Version IV (CBM-IV) (Geary et al., 1988) Using this model, the authors examined the formation and transport of ozone under alternative fuel strategies for motor vehicle transportation sources for the year 2007. Photochemical modeling was performed for modeling domains in Los Angeles, California, and Atlanta, Georgia.

The model was developed to increase the understanding and better forecast the migration of several contaminant plumes being monitored by the HGWP, and to support the Hanford Site Composite Analysis for low-level waste disposal in the 200- Area Plateau. Recent modeling efforts have focused on continued refinement of an initial version of the three-dimensional model developed in 1995 and its application to simulate future transport of selected contaminant plumes in the aquifer system. This version of the model was updated using a more current version of the CFEST code called CFEST96. Prior to conducting simulations of contaminant transport with the three-dimensional model, a previous steady-state, two-dimensional model of the unconfined aquifer system was recalibrated to 1979 water-table conditions with a statistical inverse method implemented in the CFEST-INV computer code. The results of the recalibration were used to refine the three-dimensional conceptual model and to calibrate it with a conceptualization that preserves the two- dimensional hydraulic properties and knowledge of the aquifer's three-dimensional properties for the same 1979 water-table conditions. The transient behavior of the three-dimensional flow model was also calibrated by adjusting model storage properties (specific yield) until transient water- table predictions approximated observed water- table elevations between 1979 and 1996.

Four alternatives were identified and evaluated; the proposed alternative would include a new irrigation system fed from groundwater wells through low-pressure pipe. Key issues examined included effects on water and water supply; effects on fish, wildlife, and habitat; effects on socioeconomics, cultural resources, and Tribal treaty rights; and effects on water rights. The alternative selected will be based on consideration of increased fish habitat, removal of fish passage obstacles, protection of environmental resources, cost and administrative efficiency, and compliance with all applicable regulation. 66 refs., 12 figs., 12 tabs.

This move, precipitated by the government's relatively recently adopted strategic goals of economic development, societal reform and promotion of engagement with other industrial nations, has brought to the fore the serious situation in which the Chinese electric power industry finds itself. Owing to the advanced average age of generation facilities and the technology used in them, serious expansion and modernization of this industry needs to take place, and soon, if it is to support the rapid industrial development already taking place in China. While China does have some oil and gas, coal constitutes its largest indigenous energy supply, by far. Coal has been mined and utilized for years in China. It is used directly to provide heat for homes, businesses and in industrial applications, and used to raise steam for the generation of electricity. The presently dominant coal utilization methods are characterized by low or marginal efficiencies and an almost universal lack of pollution control equipment. Because there is so much of it, coal is destined to be China's predominant source of thermal energy for decades to come. Realizing these things--the rapidly increasing demand for more electric power than China presently can produce, the need to raise coal utilization efficiencies, and the corresponding need to preserve the environment-- the Chinese government moved to commission several official working organizations to tackle these problems.

Movement to interim storage and, for low level waste, repository sites, is accomplished by a combination of truck, rail, ship, and air. The US Department of Energy (DOE) directs transportation activities including cask development technology for use in single or multimodal (a combination of land, water, and air) transport. In 1978, Sandia National Laboratories was selected as the lead contractor for basic transportation technology.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Recycle of scrap plutonium-238 oxide fuel to support future radioisotope applications AN - 17580350; 4467475 AB - The Nuclear Materials Technology (NMT) Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory has initiated a development program to recover and purify plutonium- 238 oxide from impure feed sources in a glove box environment. A glove box line has been designed and a chemistry flowsheet developed to perform this recovery task at large scale. The initial demonstration effort focused on purification of (sup 238)PuO(sub 2) fuel by HNO(sub 3)/HF dissolution, followed by plutonium(III) oxalate precipitation and calcination to an oxide. Decontamination factors for most impurities of concern in the fuel were very good, producing (sup 238)PuO(sub 2) fuel significantly better in purity than specified by General Purpose Heat Source (GPHS) fuel powder specifications. The results are encouraging for recycle of relatively impure plutonium-238 oxide and scrap residue items into fuel for useful applications. A sufficient quantity of purified (sup 238)PuO(sub 2) fuel was recovered from the process to allow fabrication of a GPHS unit for testing. The high specific activity of plutonium- 238 magnifies the consequences and concerns of radioactive waste generation. This work places an emphasis on development of waste minimization technologies to complement the aqueous processing operation. Results from experiments allowing more time for neutralized solutions of plutonium-238 to precipitate resulted in decontamination to about 1 millicurie/L. Combining ultrafiltration treatment with addition of a water-soluble polymer designed to coordinate Pu, allowed solutions to be decontaminated to about 1 microcurie/L. Efforts continue to develop a capability for efficient, safe, cost-effective, and environmentally acceptable methods to recover and purify (sup 238)PuO(sub 2) fuel.

The tanks fall into two main categories: single-shell tanks (SSTs) and double-shell tanks (DSTs). There are a total of 149 SSTs and 28 DSTs. The wastes stored in the tanks are chemically complex. They basically involve various sodium salts (mainly nitrite, nitrate, carbonates, aluminates, and hydroxides), organic compounds, heavy metals, and various radionuclides, including cesium, strontium, plutonium, and uranium. The waste is known to generate flammable gas (FG) (hydrogen, ammonia, nitrous oxide, hydrocarbons) by complex chemical reactions. The process of gas generation, retention, and release is transient. Some tanks reach a quasi-steady stage where gas generation is balanced by the release rate. Other tanks show continuous cycles of retention followed by episodic release. There currently are 25 tanks on the Flammable Gas Watch List (FGWL). The objective of this report is to evaluate possible mitigation strategies to eliminate the FG hazard. The evaluation is an engineering study of mitigation concepts for FG generation, retention, and release behavior in Tanks SY-101, AN-103, AN 104, An- 105, and Aw-101. Where possible, limited quantification of the effects of mitigation strategies on the FG hazard also is considered. The results obtained from quantification efforts discussed in this report should be considered as best-estimate values. Results and conclusions of this work are intended to help in establishing methodologies in the contractor's controls selection analysis to develop necessary safety controls for closing the FG unreviewed safety question. The general performance requirements of any mitigation scheme are discussed first.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Staged licensing: An essential element of the NRC's revised regulations AN - 17580318; 4467344 AB - Over the past several years, Congress has directed the Department of Energy (DOE), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to abandon their efforts to assess an array of potential candidate geologic repository sites for the permanent disposal of spent nuclear reactor fuel and high level radioactive waste, to develop generally applicable requirements for licensing geologic repositories, and to develop generally applicable radiation protection standards for geologic repositories, and instead to focus their efforts to determine whether a single site located at Yucca Mountain, Nevada can be developed as a geologic repository which providing reasonable assurance that public health and safety and the environment will be adequately protected. If the Yucca Mountain site is found to be suitable for development as a geologic repository, then at each stage of development DOE will have to provide the NRC with progressively more detailed information regarding repository design and long-term performance. NRC regulations reflect the fact that it will not be until the repository has been operated for a number of years that the NRC will be able to make a final determination as to long- term repository performance. Nevertheless, the NRC will be able to allow DOE to construct and operate a repository, provided that the NRC believes that the documented results of existing studies, together with the anticipated results from continuing and future studies, will enable the NRC to make a final determination that it has reasonable assurance that the repository system's long-term performance will not cause undue risk to the public. Thus, in its efforts to revise its current regulations to assure that the technical criteria are specifically applicable to the Yucca Mountain site, the NRC should also make sure that it preserves and clarifies the concept of staged repository development.

This process is particularly pronounced in case of extensive contamination of soil and under extreme weather conditions, for example, during dust storms. The mechanism of wind dust generation consists in the following. At low wind speed U = 2-3 m/s, which is most common in midlatitude, small radioactive dust particles (diameter of hundredth of a micron to 10-20 microns) are lifted from soil surface due to turbulent vortexes. Under the gravitational force the particles of 1-2 micron diameter practically do not settle. Larger dust particles cannot remain in the air for a long time: they are lifted by turbulent vortexes and settle, their motion in the wind flow is jump-wise and the interaction of particles with the flow is called saltation "I". Saltation is the main mechanism of dust generation up to the wind velocity at which wind erosion starts. The size of dust particles can be as large as 100 pm. When dropping they can be ricocheting from ground or pass the impulse to other particles which begin rolling over and jumping up. The process of dust transport by wind can be compared to a chain reaction. At the velocity of 10 m/s large particles of about 500 pm stop skipping and roll over only, while particles of more than 1 mm remain stationary. Thus, the fine fraction is blown out from the polydispersed soil particles. The intensity of wind resuspension of radioactive dust from the ground is characterized either by a resuspension factor or a resuspension rate.

Poor accessibility to the contaminants and difficulty in delivery of treatment reagents have rendered existing in-situ treatments such as bioremediation, vapor extraction, and pump and treat rather ineffective when applied to low permeability soils present at many contaminated sites. The technology is an integrated in-situ treatment in which established geotechnical methods are used to install degradation zones directly in the contaminated soil and electro-osmosis is utilized to move the contaminants back and forth through those zones until the treatment is completed.

While much of the research has been fundamental in nature, involving physiological and molecular characterizations of the mechanisms of hyperaccumulation in plants, the laboratory is also investigating more practical issues related to phytoremediation. A central issue in this latter research has been the identification of amendments capable of increasing the bioavailability and subsequent phytoextraction of radionuclides.

Sheet silicates, particularly clays such as bentonite are common materials in near-field engineered barriers in high-level nuclear waste (HLW) repositories. This is because migration of radionuclides from an underground HLW repository to the geosphere may be significantly reduced by sorption of radionuclides (e.g., Pu, U and Np) onto sheet silicates (e.g., clays and micas) that line the fractures and pores of the rocks along groundwater flowpaths. In addition to surface sorption, it has been suggested that some sheet silicates may also be able to incorporate many radionuclides, such as Cs and Sr, in the inter-layer sites of the sheet structure. However, the ability of the sheet silicates to incorporate radionuclides and retard release and migration of radionuclides may be significantly affected by the near-field radiation due to the decay of fission products and actinides. for example, the unique properties of the sheet structures will be lost completely if the structure becomes amorphous due to irradiation effects. Thus, the study of irradiation effects on sheet-structures, such as structural damage and modification of chemical properties, are critical to the performance assessment of long-term repository behavior.

The research is being performed on samples collected from the Test Area North (TAN) site at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) where a dissolved trichloroethylene (TCE) plume is migrating in the basalts and interbed sediments of the Eastern Snake River Plain (ESRP) aquifer. Research results are leading to an enhanced understanding of the constraints that the geochemical and hydrological environment place on the activities and distribution of TCE-degrading organisms in this fractured subsurface medium. Enhanced understanding allows better decisions to be made regarding the use of remedial technologies such as natural attenuation and in situ bioremediation at geologically complex waste sites. Through this research, investigations conducted by the Subsurface Science Program (SSP) at TAN are being extended in order to develop a mechanistic understanding of the coupled geomicrobial and hydrogeochemical processes that are necessary to predict the field-scale intrinsic degradation rates of TCE. The research objective is being accomplished by characterizing paired cores and water samples from boreholes located in differing geochemical and flow environments within the plume. Analysis of these samples will allow the determination of the spatial correlation and microbial characterization. The results presented in this report consist primarily of TAN-33 data as many of those analyses have been completed. Nearly all of the TAN-37 data has yet to be acquired. It should be noted that most of the cores were collected from zones that consist of relatively competent, massive basalt. This was because the authors were doubtful about the quality of samples obtained from rubble zones due to potential alteration by the drilling fluids. Thus, microbiological results on the core samples likely represent a conservative estimate of the types, activities and numbers of the microorganisms present in the borehole.

Many constituents can be dropped entirely while several others should be dropped from analyses in the plume definition wells but be retained for analyses at the point of compliance (POC) wells. Constituents that can be dropped entirely are nonhazardous inorganics generally referred to as water quality indicators. At M-Area, there are 41 Point of Compliance (POC) wells monitoring an area of about 0.25 square miles and about 236 plume definition wells monitoring the surround 4 square miles. The POC wells form a picket line around the facility and are intended to detect any constituents leaching from it. They are also intended to determine whether such constituents exceed action levels. Plume definition wells are added to define the plume created y a particular set or subset of contaminants. They can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of corrective action upon a particular set of constituents. The M-Area plume definition wells were installed in several phases over a ten year time span as SRS struggled to define the extent of a large plume of TCE and PCE. These wells were not located for the purpose of monitoring the numerous inorganics and radionuclides on the unit's monitoring list. Many of the inorganics and radionuclides are relatively immobile in groundwater and cannot be expected to appear in the widely scattered TCE/PCE plume definition wells.

Final report AN - 17165129; 4466889 AB - A feasibility study was initiated to determine if downstream migrant salmonids could be monitored to determine potential relationships between total dissolved gas (TDG) exposure and signs of gas bubble trauma (GBT). The primary objectives were to: (1) establish logistical requirements for in- river monitoring of TDG exposure, including net pen design, deployment, and navigation constraints; (2) resolve uncertainties associated with effects of the net pen on fish behavior; (3) test the accuracy and precision of in-river monitoring equipment used to measure fish distribution and water quality; and (4) determine the application of hydrologic /flow models to predictions of TDG exposure. In-river measurements included water velocity, boat position, and selected water quality parameters (temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, depth, conductivity). Fish distribution within the net pen was monitored using scanning sonar, and a split-beam echo sounder was used to evaluate vertical distribution of fish m in the river adjacent to the net pen. Three test drifts were conducted from late July through late August. The studies demonstrated that it was feasible to assemble and deploy a large net pen for mobile monitoring of TDG exposure. Accurate monitoring of vertical and lateral distribution of smolts was performed, and diel differences in behavior were documented. Further, the fish sounded in response to researcher activity on the perimeter platform. Thus, in- transit monitoring for GBT or mortality would affect fish depth distribution and exposure to TDG. Principal recommendations for future studies are directed at improving maneuverability of the net pen in adverse weather conditions and applying new acoustics technology to simultaneously collect fish distribution data from within and outside of the pen. 6 refs., 17 figs., 2 tabs.

Lead concentrations in soil samples varied from 78.4 ppm to 832 ppm while mean lead levels in plants ranged from 2.6 ppm to 19.3 ppm; the highest levels were found to be in grass (44 ppm). In addition, lead levels were lower in soil samples during the wet period (December to April) whereas, it is higher in plants during the same period. Moreover, traffic density, distance from traffic roads, climate and area topography (up- and down hill) were influencing factors in lead levels in both the soil and plant samples.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-06-22 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Impact of alfalfa on soil and water quality AN - 17581545; 4466873 AB - Dominance of row crop agriculture in rolling landscapes of western and Southwestern Minnesota is identified as a primary, non-point source of sediments and associated pollutants reaching the Minnesota River. Currently as a biomass energy project, alfalfa is being promoted in western Minnesota to harvest the leaves for animal feed and stems to generate electricity. As a perennial, leguminous crop grown with minimum inputs, introduction of alfalfa in row cropped lands has potential to improve both in-situ soil productivity and downstream water quality. A field study was initiated in 1996 to compare the volume of runoff and pollutants coming from alfalfa an com-soybean fields in western Minnesota. Two pair of alfalfa and corn-soybean watersheds were instrumented at Morris in the Fall of 1996 to measure rainfall, runoff, and sample water for sediment load, phosphorus, nitrogen, biochemical oxygen demand, and chemical oxygen demand. Simulated rainfall-runoff experiments were conducted on an existing crop rotation - input management study plots at Lamberton to evaluate soil quality effects of the inclusion of alfalfa in a corn-soybean rotation under manure and fertilization management schemes. Alfalfa soil water use as a function of frequency of harvest was also monitored at Morris to evaluate the effect of cutting schedule on soil water use. During the growing season of 1997, alfalfa under a two-cut management scheme used about 25-mm (an inch) more soil water than under a three-cut schedule. The mean differences between the treatments were not significant. The conclusions drawn in this report come from analysis of data collected during one winter-summer hydrologic and crop management cycle. Continued observations through a period of at least 3-5 years is recommended to improve the instrumentation robustness and discern the variability due to climate, soil, and crop management factors.

The sampling was performed as part of a quarterly groundwater monitoring program implemented by the US Department of Energy (DOE) to monitor the effectiveness of remediation of a drilling effluent pond located at the site. The effluent pond was used for the storage of drilling mud during drilling of the emplacement hole for a 1969 gas stimulation test conducted by the US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) (the predecessor agency to the DOE), and Austral Oil Company (Austral). Project Rulison was conducted under the AEC's Plowshare Program to evaluate the feasibility of using a nuclear device to stimulate natural gas production in low-permeability, gas-producing geologic formations. The experiment was conducted on September 10, 1969, and consisted of detonating a 40-kiloton nuclear device at a depth of 2,568 m (8,426 ft) below ground surface. Natural gas production testing was conducted in 1970 and 1971. The site was deactivated by the AEC and Austral in 1972 and abandoned in 1976. JF - DOE/NV (U. S. Department of Energy.

We dealt primarily with the installation of the Sun Microsystems computer servers. The installation has been very smooth with no particular problems to highlight. Installation of the Oracle database management system on the Sun servers is currently underway. On the software side, work continued with the development of the front-end pages for the web site, and with modifications and additions to the GeoTrek software to fulfill the specific needs of the repository system. Activity on Project 1.0, the conversion and installation of electronic databases continued. We have located and obtained from the BLM the software needed to translate the Oklahoma Geological Survey data set Township/Range/Section coordinates into Lat/Long. We have received and are currently loading the new updated data sets (cores and well log headers) from the BEG. We attended a meeting at the Kansas Geological Survey (KGS) on September 24 to define the participation of the KGS in the NGDRS project. No project review was held in August.

The 3-dimensional geomechanical response of the rock to heating is being monitored using instrumentation mounted in boreholes and on the surface of the block. Results show that thermal expansion of the block began a few hours after the start if heating, and is closely correlated with the thermal history. Horizontal expansion increases as a linear function of height. Comparison of observed deformations with continuum simulations shows that below the heater plane deformation is smaller the predicted, while above the heater plane, observed deformation is larger than predicted, and is consistent with opening of vertical fractures. Fracture monitors indicate that movement on a large horizontal fracture is associated with hydrothermal behavior.

The intent was to demonstrate the viability of fusion and analysis of data from various types of sensors for waste site characterization, but primarily geophysical. This overall concept changed over time and evolved more towards hydrogeological (groundwater) data fusion after some initial geophysical fusion work focused at Coleman. This initial geophysical fusion platform was tested at Hanford and Fernald, and the later hydrogeological fusion work has been demonstrated at Pantex, Savannah River, the US Army Letterkenny Depot, a DoD Massachusetts site and a DoD California site. The hydrogeologic data fusion package has been spun off to a company named Fusion and Control Technology, Inc. This package is called the Hydrological Fusion And Control Tool (Hydro-FACT) and is being sold as a product that links with the software package, MS-VMS (MODFLOW-SURFACT Visual Modeling System), sold by HydroGeoLogic, Inc. MODFLOW is a USGS development, and is in the public domain. Since the government paid for the data fusion development at Coleman, the government and their contractors have access to the data fusion technology in this hydrogeologic package for certain computer platforms, but would probably have to hire FACT (Fusion and Control Technology, Inc.,) and/or HydroGeoLogic for some level of software and services. Further discussion in this report will concentrate on the hydrogeologic fusion module that is being sold as Hydro-FACT, which can be linked with MS-VMS.

Not only have the number of monitored locations been reduced since 1992, but also the frequency and types of analyses have been changed. The onsite radiological surveillance program is shown in a table, and this report gives the first quarter results for that program. During the first calendar quarter of 1997, air samples were collected and analyzed from 45 air particulate sampling stations, 3 noble gas sampling stations, and 12 tritiated water (HTO) vapor sampling stations. Surface water samples were collected and analyzed from one wastewater containment pond and nine sewage lagoons. Groundwater samples were obtained from ten potable supply wells, one non-potable supply well, and seven drinking water distribution end points.

All discharges of radioactive liquids remained onsite in containment ponds, and there was no indication of potential migration of radioactivity to the offsite area through groundwater. Surveillance around the NTS indicated that airborne radioactivity from diffusion, evaporation of liquid effluents, or resuspension of soil was not detectable offsite, and exposure above background to members of the offsite population was not measured by the offsite monitoring program. Using the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Air Package 1988 (CAP88)PC model and NTS radionuclide emissions and environmental monitoring data, the calculated effective dose equivalent (EDE) to the maximally exposed individual offsite would have been 0.11 mrem. This value is less than 2 percent of the federal dose limit prescribed for radionuclide air emissions. Any person receiving this dose would also have received 144 mrem from natural background radiation. There were no nonradiological releases to the offsite area. Hazardous wastes were shipped offsite to approved disposal facilities. Compliance with the various regulations stemming from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is being achieved and, where mandated, permits for air and water effluents and waste management have been obtained from the appropriate agencies. Cooperation with other agencies has resulted in seven different consent orders and agreements. Support facilities at off-NTS locations have complied with the requirements of air quality permits and state or local wastewater discharge and hazardous waste permits as mandated for each location.

Temperature, stress, and displacement of rock in the heated zone are presented along with predicted zones where slip on fractures may occur. The zones of predicted fracture slip are used as a basis for predicting where permeability may be changed. this new procedure goes beyond previous models that relate stress to strain or displacement, and provides information about rock response that is needed for design of future tests at Yucca Mountain. Our results also contribute to the understanding of coupled processes in the near-field environment of a repository.

However, for fluid flow and contaminant transport through fractured vadose zones, traditional hydrogeological approaches are often found to be inadequate. In this project, the authors examine flow and transport through a fractured vadose zone as a deterministic chaotic dynamical process, and develop a model of it in these terms. Initially, they examine separately the geometric model of fractured rock and the flow dynamics model needed to describe chaotic behavior. Ultimately they will put the geometry and flow dynamics together to develop a chaotic-dynamical model of flow and transport in a fractured vadose zone. They investigate water flow and contaminant transport on several scales, ranging from small-scale laboratory experiments in fracture replicas and fractured cores, to field experiments conducted in a single exposed fracture at a basalt outcrop, and finally to a ponded infiltration test using a pond of 7 by 8 m. In the field experiments, the authors measure the time-variation of water flux, moisture content, and hydraulic head at various locations, as well as the total inflow rate to the subsurface. Such variations reflect the changes in the geometry and physics of water flow that display chaotic behavior, which the authors try to reconstruct using the data obtained. In the analysis of experimental data, a chaotic model can be used to predict the long-term bounds on fluid flow and transport behavior, known as the attractor of the system, and to examine the limits of short-term predictability within these bounds. This approach is especially well suited to the need for short-term predictions to support remediation decisions and long-term bounding studies.

Rocky Flats was formerly the largest volume user of CCl (sub 4) in the US, with 5,000 gallons used there in 1977 alone. At the Hanford site, several hundred thousand gallons of CCl (sub 4) were discharged between 1955 and 1973 into underground cribs for storage. Levels of CCl (sub 4) in groundwater at highly contaminated sites at the Hanford facility have exceeded the drinking water standard of 5 ppb by several orders of magnitude. High levels of CCl (sub 4) at these facilities represent a potential health hazard for workers conducting cleanup operations and for surrounding communities. The level of CCl (sub 4) cleanup required at these sites and associated costs are driven by current human health risk estimates which assume that CCl (sub 4) is a genotoxic carcinogen. The overall purpose of these studies is to improve the scientific basis for assessing the health risk associated with human exposure to CCl (sub 4) . Specifically, the authors will determine the toxicokinetics of inhaled and ingested CCl (sub 4) in F344/Crl rats, B6C3F1 mice, and Syrian hamsters. They will also evaluate species differences in the metabolism of CCl (sub 4) by rats, mice, hamsters, and man. Dose-response relationships will be determined in all these studies. This information will be used to improve the physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for CCl (sub 4) originally developed by Paustenbach et al. (1988) and more recently revised by Thrall and Kenny (1996). They will also provide scientific evidence that CCl (sub 4) , like chloroform, is a hepatocarcinogen only when exposure results in cell damage, cell killing, and regenerative cell proliferation. In combination, the studies outlined in this proposal will provide the exact types of information needed to enable refined cancer risk estimates for CCl (sub 4) under the new guidelines for risk assessment proposed by the EPA in April 1996 (US EPA, 1996).

In order to develop the necessary remediation technology it has been recognized that a fundamental understanding of the various chemical and physical factors associated with waste treatment and contaminant transport must be established. Some of the specific topics include waste pretreatment, volume reduction, immobilization, separation methods, the interactions of actinides and heavy metals with surfaces in the presence of organic residues and co-contaminants, contaminant transport in the environment, and long-term storage site assessment. This project has direct and potential application in all these areas. The interaction and partitioning of contaminant metals and radionuclides between solution and solid- surface phases is a fundamental issue for waste treatment and predicting contaminant transport in the environment. Many factors are involved in the functional relationships describing chemical reactivity and physical distribution of chemical species. These include modification of chemical behavior by the suite of chemical co- contaminants in a system. Organic complexing agents are common components of waste mixtures and include both synthetic components specifically introduced as part of processing methods, and poorly characterized compounds that were introduced separately or evolved within the highly reactive wastes. Natural organic complexing agents such as citric acid and siderophores are common in nature and represent factors that will further influence contaminant transport in soils and aquatic systems. Knowledge of the existence of a metal-organic complex cannot automatically be used to predict changes in solid-solution partitioning of the metal or the rates of changes in partitioning as a consequence of ligand or metal exchange. Formation of metal ion-ligand-oxide surface ternary complexes can enhance sorption in some cases while highly stable metal-organic complexes in solution will decrease sorption. The preference for these two cases depends on the relative chemical properties of each component as well as system parameters such as pH and ionic strength and the relative reaction rates. In general, there is a fundamental absence of the experimental observations needed to establish the trends needed for predictive modeling and technological developments. If the authors can understand both the equilibrium partitioning in these ternary systems (i.e., metal-ligand-solid) and the types of complexes that form as functions of a set of measurable parameters that characterize the system, the authors should significantly improve the ability to estimate the mass transport rates of contaminants and natural solutes in aquifers and water columns where organic ligands are significant species. The authors will also be better prepared to devise remediation strategies where introduction of organic ligands can bring about either mobilization of contaminants or enhanced retardation. The ligands are likely to prove useful in the direct treatment and remediation of contaminated sites (Francis and Dodge, 1992; Tuin and Tels, 1990).

These widespread materials are much different, physically and chemically, from granular soils or fractured low porosity rocks, which are the media used for most previous investigations of solvent behavior. The investigations are needed to provide a basic scientific framework for assessment of solvent transport and remediation in fractured clay-rich deposits. Specific experimental objectives include: (1) Determine the nature and distribution of porosity in these materials, and its influence on pressure-saturation behavior for immiscible solvents. This includes determining values for entry pressure, residual saturation, fracture aperture and matrix pore size distribution, as well as assessment of methodologies for measuring/characterizing these parameters. (2) Determine the influence of dissolution, sorption and diffusion into the matrix on long term disappearance of residual solvents in the fractured materials. (3) Assessment of the potential for natural attenuation of common solvents, especially TCE, in these deposits. This includes investigating the natural geochemistry and microbiology of the deposits, and assessing biologically-mediated degradation of solvents in the laboratory and at existing contaminated field sites.

Ninety-nine surfactants were screened for their ability to solubilize trichloroethene (TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE), and carbon tetrachloride (CTET). The field test was conducted in the alluvial aquifer which is located 20 to 30 meters beneath a vapor degreasing operation at Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant. This aquifer has become contaminated with TCE due to leakage of perhaps 40,000 liters of TCE, which has generated a plume of dissolved TCE extending throughout an area of approximately 3 km (super 2) in the aquifer. Most of the TCE is believed to be present in the overlying lacustrine deposits and in the aquifer itself as a dense, non-aqueous phase liquid, or DNAPL. The objective of the field test was to assess the efficacy of the surfactant for in situ TCE solubilization. Although the test demonstrated that sorbitan monooleate was unsuitable as a solubilizer in this aquifer, the single-well test was demonstrated to be a viable method for the in situ testing of surfactants or cosolvents prior to proceeding to full-scale remediation.

The construction of the lake, which began in the fall of 1984, altered the structure and function of Steel Creek. Completed in the fall of 1985, L Lake has a capacity of 31 million cubic meters and a normal pool of 58 meters. When L Reactor operations ceased in 1988, the water level in the lake still had to be maintained. Site managers are currently trying to determine the feasibility of draining or drawing down the lake in order to save tax dollars. In order to understand the full repercussions of such an undertaking, it was necessary to compile a comprehensive inventory of what the lake bottom looked like prior to filling. Aerial photographs, acquired nine days before the filling of the lake began, were scanned and used for softcopy photogrammetry processing. A one-meter digital elevation model was generated and a digital orthophoto mosaic was created as the base map for the project. Seven categories of features, including the large waste units used to contain the contaminated soil removed from the dam site, were screen digitized and used to generate accurate maps. Other map features include vegetation waste piles, where contaminated vegetation from the flood plain was contained, and ash piles, which are sites where vegetation debris was burned and then covered with clean soil. For all seven categories, the area of disturbance totaled just over 63 hectares. When the screen digitizing was completed, the elevation at the centroid of each disturbance was determined. When the information is used in the Savannah River Site Geographical Information System, it can be used to visualize the various L Lake draw-down scenarios suggested by site managers and hopefully, to support evaluations of the cost effectiveness for each proposed activity.

The ISD97 code operates using a two-step process. A deconvolution of the data is carried out using the maximum entropy method, and a map of activity on the ground that fits the data within experimental error is generated. This maximum entropy map is then analyzed to determine the locations and magnitudes of potential areas of elevated activity that are consistent with the data. New deconvolutions are then carried out for each potential area of elevated activity identified by the code. Properties of the algorithm are demonstrated using data from actual field measurements.

The participating laboratories are evaluated by comparing their results with the "EML value." The preferred EML method for measuring water and filter samples, described in this report, uses gas flow proportional counters with 2 in. detectors. Procedures for sample preparation, quality control and instrument calibration are presented. Liquid scintillation (LS) counting is an alternative technique that is suitable for quantifying both the alpha ( super(241)Am, super(230)Th and super(238)Pu) and beta ( super(90)Sr/ super(90)Y) activity concentrations in the solutions used to prepare the QAP water and air filter samples. Three LS counting techniques (Cerenkov, dual dpm and full spectrum analysis) are compared. These techniques may be used to validate the activity concentrations of each component in the alpha/beta solution before the QAP samples are actually prepared.

The tanks are to be cleaned out with a variety of flushing techniques and the dilute mixture transferred to another storage tank. One proposal is to transfer this mixture into existing Melton Valley Storage Tanks (MVST), which already contain a large amount of sludge and supernate. The mixed aqueous phase will then be transferred to new MVST, which are prohibited from containing insoluble solids. To separate the solid from the liquid and thereby prevent solids transfer into the new MVST, a technique is needed that can cleanly separate the sludge and bentonite clay from the supernate. One proposed method for solid liquid separation is cross-flow filtration. Cross- flow filtration has been used at the Savannah River and West Valley sites for treatment of tank waste, and is being tested for applicability at other sites. The performance of cross-flow filters with sludge has been tested, but the impact of sludge combined with bentonite clay has not. The objective of this test was to evaluate the feasibility of using cross-flow filters to perform the solid liquid separation required for the mixture of Gunite and MVST tank wastes.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Efforts to Reduce the Impacts of Hydroelectric Power Production on Reservoir Fisheries in the United States AN - 17581865; 4466661 AB - Research into the environmental effects of hydroelectric power production in the United States has focused increasingly on resident and migratory fish populations. Hydropower dams and reservoirs can block fish movements in both upstream and downstream directions. These movements are essential for important stocks of anadromous and catadromous fish. In addition, some strictly freshwater fish may move long distances within a river during their life cycle.A dam can pose an impassable barrier for fish trying to move upstream unless mitigation measures in the form of ladders or lifts are provided. Fish moving downstream to the sea may become disoriented when they encounter static water within a reservoir. Both resident and migratory fish may be injured or killed by passing through the turbine or over the spillway. In the United States, a variety of organizations conduct applied research and development of measures to (1) enhance fish passage, (2) reduce the numbers of fish that are drawn into the turbine intakes, and (3) reduce the injury and mortality rates of fish that pass through the turbines. Examples of these efforts from a variety of river systems and hydroelectric power plants are described.

Twenty projects were approved for funding prior to November 1996. This paper presents results from four of these projects. Speir Operating Company successfully remediated paraffin and sulfide scale problems, increased oil production, and lowered water injection pressure with injection of microbes into wells completed in a Cypress limestone reservoir in Posey County, Indiana. Sipple Oil Company stimulated three wells with three different fracture stimulation techniques in the Carboniferous dolomite reservoirs at approximately 1,100 ft. Production results were compared after stimulation for the best technique to use on other wells completed in these reservoirs in the Big Sinking Field, Kentucky. EDCO Producing Company attempted to drill a short radius horizontal well in a naturally fractured Trempealeau reservoir at 2,088 ft in Morrow County, Ohio. Attempts to drill a horizontal wellbore from an existing producing well and increase production were unsuccessful. James Engineering Company, Marietta, Ohio developed a simple software to download production forecasts from major commercial reserve analysis software and upload production information from fields or groups of wells. These data are compared to actual production with forecast values to identify production declines. There are 240 Clinton/Rose Run wells at depths from 5,000 to 7,000 ft in this project. Initial results of the software developed are promising.

A closure plan is currently being developed for Pahute Mesa, which has been identified in the FFACO as consisting of the Western and Central Pahute Mesa Corrective Action Units. Part of this effort requires that hydrogeologic data be compiled for inclusion in a regional model that will be used to predict a contaminant boundary for these Corrective Action Units. Hydrogeologic maps have been prepared for use in the model to define the nature and extent of aquifers and confining units that might influence the flow of contaminated groundwater from underground nuclear tests conducted at Pahute Mesa. Much of the groundwater flow beneath Pahute Mesa occurs within lava-flow aquifers. An understanding of the distribution and hydraulic character of these important hydrogeologic units is necessary to accurately model groundwater flow beneath Pahute Mesa. This report summarizes the results of a study by Bechtel Nevada geologists to better define the hydrogeology of lava-flow aquifers at Pahute Mesa. The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) aid in the development of the hydrostratigraphic framework for Pahute Mesa, and (2) provide information on the distribution and hydraulic character of lava-flow aquifers beneath Pahute Mesa for more accurate computer modeling of the Western and Central Pahute Mesa Corrective Action Units.

A closure plan is currently being developed for Frenchman Flat, which has been identified in the FFACO as a Corrective Action Unit (CAU). Part of this effort requires that hydrogeologic data be compiled for inclusion in a CAU-specific hydrologic flow and transport model that will be used to predict contaminant boundaries. Hydrogeologic maps and cross sections are currently being prepared for use in the model to define the nature and extent of aquifers and confining units that might influence the flow of contaminated groundwater from underground nuclear tests conducted in Frenchman Flat. During this effort, it has been found that older Tertiary-age sediments might be hydrogeologically important in the Frenchman Flat model area. Although the character and extent of these units are poorly known, there is reason to believe that in some parts of Frenchman Flat they may lie between the regional Lower Carbonate Aquifer (LCA) and the younger Tertiary saturated alluvium and volcanic units in which several underground nuclear tests were conducted. It was not possible to quickly determine their extent, or ascertain whether or not these units might act as confining units or aquifers. The work described in this report was done to gain a better understanding of the hydrogeology of these rocks. JF - DOE/NV (U. S. Department of Energy.

Basic research is being conducted to develop the chemistry of a complete cyclic process. Because tritium (generally present as tritiated water (HTO)) is in a rapidly established equilibrium with water, it moves with groundwater and separation from water cannot be achieved by the usual pump-and-treat methods using sorbents. The general methodology developed in this work will be applicable to a number of US Department of Energy waste streams, and as a consequence of the process, tritium could be incorporated in an organic polymer, a form that will prevent its ready transport in groundwater.

Understanding the processes that control colloid behavior will increase the confidence with which colloid-facilitated contaminant transport can be predicted and assessed at various contaminated US Department of Energy (DOE) sites. An added benefit is the expectation that this work will yield novel techniques to either immobilize colloid-bound contaminants in situ or mobilize colloids for enhancing remedial techniques such as pump-and-treat and bioremediation. Research Statement A series of field- scale and laboratory-scale experiments, using both natural undisturbed samples and simple one-dimension "artificial fractures", are in progress to investigate the influence of physical and chemical factors on the transport of colloids in fractured materials. The experimental results will be assessed using a computer model (COLFRAC) developed to simulate colloid transport in fractured materials. The overall goal is to assess the relative influence of chemical and physical factors expected to influence colloid transport in fractured materials and investigate strategies for predictive simulation at the field scale. The experimental methods each operate at different physical/geological scales and can be used with different degrees of experimental control. This allows testing of hypotheses in a relatively simple setting in the laboratory where individual chemical or colloidal characteristics can be varied and then the results compared with field-scale experiments where the influence of realistic geologic heterogeneity can be incorporated. The work is organized into interacting tasks dealing with theoretical descriptions of colloid transport in fractures, transport studies at three spatial scales (simple one-dimensional fractures, laboratory columns of intact geological material, and field-scale colloid tracer studies), and computer modeling of colloid transport processes. A continuing iteration among all tasks and experimental scales is envisioned throughout the project. Predictions based on laboratory experiments in simplified artificial fracture systems will be tested in column and field studies, and, likewise, hypothesized interpretations of the results of the column or field studies will be tested and verified in additional laboratory studies. Experimental efforts at all scales will begin with simple binary comparisons (e.g., large vs small colloids with similar surface chemistry), and proceed with increasing complexity (e.g., varying surface properties of colloids or fractures) as understanding is developed. It is only through this parallel iteration at different scales that predictions based on laboratory understanding can be tested in column and in field studies so that additional research-can be conducted to resolve observations that were not consistent with the earlier descriptions of controlling processes.

Work began in January, 1997. A post doctoral fellow joined the team in April. The major activities completed this fiscal year were: staffing the project, design of the experimental system, procurement of components, assembly of the system. preparation of the Safe Operating Procedure and ES and H compliance, pressure testing, establishing data collection and storage methodology, and catalyst preparation. Objective The objective of the project is to develop new chemistry for the removal of organic contaminants from supercritical carbon dioxide. This has application in processes used for continuous cleaning and extraction of parts and waste materials. A secondary objective is to increase the fundamental understanding of photocatalytic chemistry. Cleaning and extraction using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO (sub 2) ) can be applied to the solution of a wide range of environmental and pollution prevention problems in the DOE complex. Work is being done that explores scCO (sub 2) in applications ranging from cleaning contaminated soil to cleaning components constructed from plutonium. The rationale for use of scCO (sub 2) are based on the benign nature, availability and low cost, attractive solvent properties, and energy efficient separation of the extracted solute from the solvent by moderate temperature or pressure changes. To date, R and D has focussed on the methods and applications of the extraction steps of the process. Little has been done that addresses methods to polish the scCO (sub 2) for recycle in the cleaning or extraction operations. In many applications it will be desirable to reduce the level of contamination from that which would occur at steady state operation of a process. This proposal addresses chemistry to achieve that. This would be an alternative to removing a fraction of the contaminated scCO (sub 2) for disposal and using makeup scCO (sub 2) . A chemical polishing operation can reduce the release of CO (sub 2) from the process. It can also reduce the consumption of reagents that may be used in the process to enhance extraction and cleaning. A polishing operation will also reduce or avoid formation of an additional waste stream. Photocatalytic and other photochemical oxidation chemistry have not been investigated in scCO (sub 2) . The large base of information for these reactions in water, organic solvents, or air suggest that the chemistry will work in carbon dioxide. There are compelling reasons to believe that the properties of scCO (sub 2) should increase the performance of photocatalytic chemistry over that found in more conventional fluid phases.

The general target problem is the removal of alkali and alkaline-earth metal contaminants from certain environmental and waste streams. Although not a radioactivity hazard, Li (super +) ions leaching from burial sites containing more than 12 metric tons of lithium compounds contaminate the groundwater at the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant and have raised noncompliance concerns because of the resultant toxicity to aquatic biota.A more highly visible problem has been treatment of high-level wastes stored in underground tanks at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, and especially the Hanford Site. The fission products (super 90) Sr and (super 137) Cs have been explicitly targeted for removal by the following DOE programs: the Office of Environmental Management, the Office of Science and Technology, the Tank Waste Remediation System, the Tanks Focus Area, and the Efficient Separations and Processing Cross-Cutting Program. These seemingly sites. In addition, radium has recently been named as a target contaminant at the Niagara Falls Storage Site. Unfortunately, the separations technologies needed to address these problems either do not exist or exhibit substantial deficiencies. Established techniques such as solvent extraction and ion exchange certainly have a strong role to play, especially as enhanced with the use of the new highly selective metal-ion hosts such as crown ethers and calixarenes. Recently applied results in the United States, France, Russia, and elsewhere have demonstrated the effective performance of crown ethers under realistic or actual process conditions for the removal of alkali and alkaline- earth metal ions from waste, including high-level nuclear waste. From these results, one can readily appreciate how improvements in selectivity and extraction strength can immediately translate to improvements and cost savings in existing technologies. One can also envision extending crown-ether-based chemistry to solve other problems, such as groundwater remediation. Achieving these ends will require the design and synthesis of new crown compounds with next-generation capabilities, which will in turn require efforts to build upon the current base of fundamental knowledge pertaining to host-guest chemistry, solvent extraction, and ion exchange.

Inorganic ion exchangers are developed and characterized at Texas A&M University; ORNL is involved in preparing the powders in engineered forms and testing the performance of the sorbents in actual nuclear waste solutions. The Texas A&M studies are divided into two main categories: (1) exchangers for tank wastes and (2) exchangers for groundwater remediation. These are subdivided into exchangers for use in acid and alkaline solutions for tank wastes and those that can be recycled for use in groundwater remediation. The exchangers will also be considered for in situ immobilization of radionuclides. The approach will involve a combination of exchanger synthesis, structural characterization, and ion exchange behavior. ORNL has developed a technique for preparing inorganic ion exchangers in the form of spherules by a gel-sphere internal gelation process. This technology, which was developed and used for making nuclear fuels, has the potential of greatly enhancing the usability of many other special inorganic materials because of the improved flow dynamics of the spherules. Also, pure inorganic spherules can be made without the use of binders. ORNL also has access to actual nuclear waste in the form of waste tank supernatant solutions for testing the capabilities of the sorbents for removing the cesium and strontium radionuclides from actual waste solutions. The ORNL collaboration will involve the preparation of the powdered ion exchangers, developed and synthesized at Texas A&M, in the form of spherules, and evaluating the performance of the exchangers in real nuclear waste solutions. Selected sorbents will be provided by Texas A&M for potential incorporation into microspheres, and the performance of the sorbents and microspheres will be examined using actual waste supernatant solutions. This collaborative program could potentially take an exchanger from concept, synthesis, structure determination, and elucidation of exchange mechanism, to engineered product and testing on real waste streams.

Volume 3: National sediment contaminant point source inventory AN - 16530805; 4384789 AB - During the past two decades, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has focused its water pollution control efforts on protecting water quality within the water column. This has been accomplished primarily by controlling municipal and industrial point sources. More recently, EPA has begun to direct its effort toward identifying and controlling other threats to the aquatic environment, including the accumulation of toxic chemicals in sediment. The Water Resources Development Act of 1992 (WRDA) directed EPA, in consultation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Army Corps of Engineers, to conduct a comprehensive national survey of data regarding aquatic sediment quality in the United States. The Act required EPA to compile all existing information on the quantity, chemical and physical composition, and geographic location of pollutants in aquatic sediment, including the probable source of such pollutants and identification of those sediments which are contaminated. The Act further required EPA to report to the Congress the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of such survey, including recommendations for actions necessary to prevent contamination of aquatic sediments and to control sources of contamination. Volume 3 of this report (this volume) addresses point sources. Volume 4 of this report, when completed, will address nonpoint sources. Chapter 4 of Volume 1 of this report describes all probable source categories. JF - U.S. EPA, Office of Science and Technology, Washington, D.C. 20460. [vp]. Sep 1997.

The study involved an examination of SFP designs, operating experience, operating practices, and procedures. AEOD's work was augmented in the area of statistics and probabilistic risk assessment by experts from the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. Operating experience was integrated into a probabilistic risk assessment to gain insight on the risks from SFPs.

However, other important benefits are anticipated from the emission control strategies, including improvement of regional visibility and reductions in concentrations of fine particles (PM-2.5). In this study, the authors coupled utility emissions forecasts with the Advanced Statistical Trajectory Regional Air Pollution (ASTRAP) model and the Visibility Assessment Scoping Model (VASM) to calculate and compare the relative improvements by 2010 in visual impairment, PM-2.5 concentrations, and sulfate wet deposition at selected sites in the eastern United States.

Currently, decommissioning of two facilities continues at the site with completion of the JANUS Reactor scheduled for September 1997 and completion of the CP-5 Reactor scheduled for late in CY 1999. In the course of this work, certain waste minimization pollution prevention (WMin/P2) activities have been integrated into all these projects. In most cases, the P2 aspects were key components of the operations that made the best use of available project resources to complete the work safely, within the budget and on or ahead of schedule. This paper highlights those WMin/P2 activities found most suitable for these D and D operations. Activities covered include: re-use of lead bricks from a research reactor for shielding material at an accelerator facility, re-use of a reactor out building structure by the on-site plant services group, and several other smaller scope activities which have also helped heighten WMin/P2 awareness in decommissioning.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Individual-based modeling of fish: Linking to physical models and water quality AN - 17161165; 4467128 AB - The individual-based modeling approach for the simulating fish population and community dynamics is gaining popularity. Individual-based modeling has been used in many other fields, such as forest succession and astronomy. The popularity of the individual-based approach is partly a result of the lack of success of the more aggregate modeling approaches traditionally used for simulating fish population and community dynamics. Also, recent recognition that it is often the atypical individual that survives has fostered interest in the individual-based approach. Two general types of individual-based models are distribution and configuration. Distribution models follow the probability distributions of individual characteristics, such as length and age. Configuration models explicitly simulate each individual; the sum over individuals being the population. DeAngelis et al (1992) showed that, when distribution and configuration models were formulated from the same common pool of information, both approaches generated similar predictions. The distribution approach was more compact and general, while the configuration approach was more flexible. Simple biological changes, such as making growth rate dependent on previous days growth rates, were easy to implement in the configuration version but prevented simple analytical solution of the distribution version.

In response to a budget reduction request specific modifications were made without compromising the integrity of the proposed work. The modified Phase 1 experimental matrix consists of four natural sorbents and three phenolic sorbates. Preliminary experiments with Chelsea soil indicated excessive release of soil organic matter (SOM) into solution, thereby complicating determination of aqueous phase phenol concentrations. It was therefore decided to substitute Lachine shale for the Chelsea soil. This shale is a well-characterized natural sorbent used previously in the laboratory. Additionally two field soils having similar soil morphology were identified based on their particle size distribution and organic matter content. These soils were located from US Department of Agriculture soil survey data and collected aseptically from a forested and a grassland site. Another deviation from the proposed schedule of tasks was the initiation of work from Phase 2 and Phase 3. In addition to experiments with natural systems, preliminary work with model and engineered systems was initiated earlier than scheduled in order to integrate and relate all three aspects of the study and provide a more robust perspective of field applications of this remediation technology.

Volume average temperatures of 83(degrees)C and 112(degrees)C were reached for the PLF and RF heating periods, respectively, within the 15 ft x 45 ft x 18.5 ft deep treated volume. This resulted in the removal of 243 lb of measured toxic organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs), 55 gallons of oil, and 11,000 gallons of water from the site. Reductions of up to 99% in total chromatographic organics (TCO) was achieved in the heated zone. Energy balance calculations for the PLF heating period showed that 36.4% of the heat added went to heating the soil, 38.5% went to evaporating water and organics, 4.2% went to sensible heat in the water, 7.1% went to heating the extracted air, and 6.6% was lost. For the RF heating period went to heating the soil, 23.5% went to evaporating water and organics, 2.4% went to sensible heat in the water, 7.5% went to heating extracted air, and 9.7% went to losses. Energy balance closure was 92.8% for the PLF heating and 98% for the RF heating. The energy input requirement per unit soil volume heated per unit temperature increase was 1.63 kWH/yd(sup 3)- (degrees)C for PLF heating and 0.73 kWH/yd(sup 3)(degrees)C for RF heating.

Specifically, semiconductor manufacturing design is moving toward exploiting effective, small-scale, abatement control technologies for specific point-of- use (POU) waste streams associated with a particular component or manufacturing tool. The Silent Discharge Plasma (SDP) developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory is a nonthermal plasma technology created by a dielectric-ballasted electrical discharge. Influent gas-phase pollutants are destroyed in the reactor by the free radicals or electrons generated by the plasma. This paper examines the potential for SDP to be used in niche circumstances for POU control of VOC exhaust streams specific to the semiconductor industry. A sensitivity analysis is presented, showing how SDP cost of ownership is affected by changes in the major operational parameters of exhaust flow rate, target compound, destruction removal efficiency (DRE), and electrical duty cycle. The results of cost analysis show that SDP performance and cost effectiveness are flow rate- and compound- specific. The authors conclude that the Silent Discharge Plasma is a viable, cost effective technology under high- concentration, low-flow rate regimes, and for target compounds that have been empirically shown to be conducive to destruction via free radical chemistry.

Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), all Federal agencies must consider the effect of their actions on the environment. To fulfull NRC's responsibilities under NEPA, the Commission is preparing this GEIS which analyzes alternative courses of action and the costs and impacts associated with those alternatives. In preparing the final GEIS, the following approach was taken: (1) a listing was developed of regulatory alternatives for establishing radiological criteria for decommissioning; (2) for each alternative, a detailed analysis and comparison on incremental impacts, both radiological and nonradiological, to workers, members of the public, and the environment, and costs were performed; and (3) based on the analysis of impacts and costs, conclusions on radiological criteria for decommissioning were provided. Contained in the GEIS are results and conclusions related to achieving, as an objective of decommissioning ALARA, reduction to preexisting background, the radiological criterion for unrestricted use, decommissioning ALARA analysis for soils and structures containing contamination, restricted use and alternative analysis for special site-specific situations and groundwater cleanup.

This document has been prepared to provide general reclamation practices and procedures that will be followed during restoration of the cleanup site. The results of reclamation trials at Area 11, Area 19 and more recently the reclamation demonstration plots at the Double Tracks cleanup site, have been summarized and incorporated into this reclamation and monitoring plan. The plan also contains procedures for monitoring both the effectiveness and success of short-term and long-term soil stabilization. The Clean Slate 1 site is located on the Tonopah Test Range. The surface soils were contaminated as a result of the detonation of a device containing plutonium and depleted uranium using chemical explosives. Short-term stabilization consists of the application of a chemical soil stabilizer that is applied immediately following excavation of the contaminated soils to minimize Pu resuspension. Long-term stabilization is accomplished by the establishment of a permanent vegetation. JF - DOE/NV (U. S. Department of Energy.

This document has been prepared to provide general reclamation practices and procedures that will be followed during restoration of the cleanup site. Reclamation demonstration plots were established near the site in the fall of 1994 to evaluate the performance of several native species and to evaluate different irrigation strategies. Results of the study at Double Tracks, as well as the results from numerous studies conducted at other sites (Area 11 and Area 19 of the Nevada Test Site), have been summarized and incorporated into this final reclamation plan for the interim cleanup of the Double Tracks site, located northwest of the Nevada Test Site on the Nellis Air Force Range. Surface soils at Double Tracks were contaminated as a result of the detonation of a device containing plutonium and depleted uranium using chemical explosives. The total amount of Pu deposited on the site was between 980 and 1,600 grams and was scattered downwind south of the detonation site. Short-term stabilization consists of the application of a chemical soil stabilizer that is applied immediately following excavation of the contaminated soils to minimize Pu resuspension. Long-term stabilization is accomplished by the establishment of a permanent vegetation. JF - DOE/NV (U. S. Department of Energy.

The (sub 36)Cl/Cl values for several geothermal water samples and reservoir host rock samples from the Coso, California geothermal field have been measured for these purposes. The results indicate that most of the chlorine is not derived from the dominant granitoid that host the geothermal system. If the chlorine was originally input into the Coso subsurface through meteoric recharge, that input occurred at least 1-1.25 million years ago. The results suggest that the thermal waters could be connate waters derived from sedimentary formations, presumably underlying and adjacent top the granitic rocks, which have recently migrated into the host rocks. Alternatively, most of the chlorine but not the water, may have recently input into the system from magmatic sources. In either case, the results indicate that most of the chlorine in the thermal waters has existed within the granitoid host rocks for no more than about 100,00-200,00 years. this residence time for the chlorine is similar to residence times suggested by other researchers for chlorine in deep groundwaters of the Mono Basin north of the Coso field.

The purpose of a hazards assessment is to identify the hazardous material at each facility, identify the conditions that could release the hazardous material, and calculate the consequences of the releases. The hazards assessment is the technical basis for the facility emergency plans and procedures. There are many other buildings and past-practice burial grounds, trenches, cribs, etc., in the 100 Areas that may contain hazardous materials. Undisturbed buried waste sites that are not near the Columbia River are outside the scope of emergency preparedness hazards assessments because there is no mechanism for acute release to the air or ground water. The sites near the Columbia River are considered in a separate flood hazards assessment. This hazards assessment includes only the near-term soil remediation projects that involve intrusive activities.

This process can be used as an electrical y- regenerated alternative to ion exchange, thereby reducing-the need for large quantities of chemical regenerants. Once spent (contaminated), these regenerants contribute to the waste that must be disposed of in landfills. The elimination of such wastes is especially beneficial in situations involving radioactive contaminants, and pump and treat processing of massive volumes of ground water. A review and analysis of potential applications will be presented.

It can also predict the source term to the environment. The purpose of this Code Manual is to provide full documentation of the features and models in CONTAIN 2.0. Besides complete descriptions of the models, this Code Manual provides a complete description of the input and output from the code. The code includes atmospheric models for steam/air thermodynamics, intercell flows, condensation/evaporation on structures and aerosols, aerosol behavior, and gas combustion. It also includes models for reactor cavity phenomena such as core-concrete interactions and coolant pool boiling. Heat conduction in structures, fission product decay and transport, radioactive heating, and the thermal hydraulic and fission product decontamination effects of engineered safety features are also modeled. These models allow selected design basis and severe accidents to be analyzed, for both current and advanced LWR designs.

Abnormal and emergency conditions, plant outages and start-up activities can all be periods of significant operator stress. If not managed effectively, stress can have deleterious effects on operator performance, including impairments of memory, attention, communication patterns, and a tendency to perform activities as if under time pressure. Specific impairments of operator performance are identified. Current intervention strategies and emerging challenges for stress management in nuclear plant operations are discussed.

The design certification process requires an applicant to comply with technically relevant portions of the regulations established as a result of Three Mile Island. Included as a requirement is to provide a control room design that reflects state-of-the-art human factors principles before building the human system interfaces (HSIs) for plant locations such as the main control room and remote shutdown facility. To address this requirement, the NRC developed a Human Factors Engineering Program Review Model (NUREG-0711) as guidance for the staff to use in reviewing the human factors engineering (HFE) portion of applicant submittals. To date, the NRC has reviewed applications from three designers, General Electric, ASEA Brown Boveri-Combustion Engineering, and Westinghouse Electric Corporation. Each designer has provided a different approach to developing the HSIs for their plants which has presented the NRC with a unique challenge.

AN - 79037623; 9169933 AB - The variations of the measured dose rate in air should be recognized especially where background radiation is used as a comparative benchmark to assess radiation surveillance and environmental remediation work. In this note, the natural variations of the combined gamma and cosmic-ray background air-dose rate as measured by lithium fluoride thermoluminescence dosimeters are reported. The dosimeters were deployed monthly at locations within 150 km of the Environmental Measurements Laboratory in New York City. Urban and suburban stations were established with simultaneous indoor and outdoor measurements at some locations. Measurements were obtained over 10 to 18 years. The mean air-dose rates from the six outdoor and four indoor stations vary from 50.8 to 123.1 nGy h(-1). The range of the annual dose rates expressed as a percent-difference of the minimum and maximum is 5.3 to 18.0%. Commonly, 1-mo deviations from the long term mean of about +/-10 to +/-25% are observed. An abrupt decrease in the annual dose rate at one of the measurement sites was attributed to a minor relocation of a dosimeter. Structural shielding factors for the first and second floors of a residence are reported. The ground level location of a dosimeter inside another residence apparently resulted in a very high shielding factor. Finally, a gradual decrease of the dose rate at most of the stations is shown to exist (approximately -0.3 nGy h(-1) y(-1) for the outdoor stations). Plausible causes of this trend are briefly discussed. JF - Health physics AU - Maiello, M L AD - Environmental Measurements Laboratory, U.S. Department of Energy, USA.

The special experiments (referred to as safety shots) involving plutonium-bearing devices were conducted to study the behavior of Pu as it was being explosively compressed; ensure that the accidental detonation of the chemical explosive in a production weapon would not result in criticality; evaluate the ability of personnel to manage large-scale Pu dispersal accidents; and develop criteria for transportation and storage of nuclear weapons. These sites do not pose a health threat to either workers or the general public because they are under active institutional control. The DOE is committed to remediating the safety shot sites so that radiation exposure to the public, both now and in the future, will be maintained within the established limits and be as low as reasonably achievable. Remediation requires calculation of a guideline concentration for the Pu, U, and their decay products that are present in the surface soil. This document presents the methodology for calculating guideline concentrations of weapons grade plutonium, weapons grade uranium, and depleted uranium in surface soils at the safety shot sites. Emphasis is placed on obtaining site-specific data for use in calculating dose to potential residents from the residual soil contamination. JF - DOE/NV (U. S. Department of Energy.

Investigations of volatile transport have ranged from studies of probable health impacts of radon infiltration into homes to pesticide and volatile organic contaminant mobility in the soil column. The objectives of many of these studies has been the development of numerical models of vapor phase (and solute) transport in shallow soils. An early model, LEACHM, developed by Hutson and Wagenent was recently modified enabling it to describe both solute and vapor phase transport of volatile chemicals in the soil. Subsequent tests of the latter model, named LEACHV, showed that use outside of a very restricted range of soil conditions resulted in large mass balance errors and unreasonable values for soil gas concentrations and vapor flux. The present research was undertaken in an effort to identify and correct the subroutines responsible for the problems and to allow the model to describe vapor phase transport in a much broader range of soil conditions.

Understanding the environmental conditions and mechanisms by which anaerobic bacteria partition between aqueous and solid phases is a critical requirement for designing and evaluating in situ bioremediation efforts. This interdisciplinary research project will provide fundamental information on the attachment/detachment dynamics of anaerobic bacteria in heterogeneous porous media under growth and growth-limiting conditions. Experiments will provide information on passive and active attachment/detachment mechanisms used by growing anaerobes capable of reductive dechlorination. Theoretical representations of these attachment/detachment mechanisms will be incorporated into existing groundwater flow and contaminant transport models that incorporate heterogeneity effects and can be used to predict behavior at field scales. These mechanistic-based models will be tested against experimental data provided through controlled laboratory experiments in heterogeneous porous media in large (meter-scale) 2-D flow cells. In addition to a mechanistic-based predictive model, this research will lead to new theories for the transient spatial distribution of microbial populations and contaminant plumes in heterogeneous porous media, improving the capability for designing staged remediation strategies for dealing with mixed contaminants.

A byproduct of the development approach will be the new, selective, and efficient metal-binding agents. The second objective is to evaluate the concept of using water and organic soluble polymers as new solid supports for combinatorial synthesis. The technology under development, Polymer Filtration (PF), is a technique to selectively remove or recover hazardous and valuable metal ions and radionuclides from various dilute aqueous streams. Not only can this technology be used to remediate contaminated soils and solid surfaces and treat aqueous wastes, it can also be incorporated into facilities as a pollution prevention and waste minimization technology. Polymer Filtration uses water-soluble metal-binding polymers to sequester metal ions in dilute solution. The water-soluble polymers have a sufficiently large molecular size that they can be separated and concentrated using commercial ultrafiltration technology. Water, small organic molecules, and unbound metals pass freely through the ultrafiltration membrane while concentrating the metal-binding polymer. The polymers can then be reused by changing the solution conditions to release the metal ions. The metal-ions are recovered in concentrated form for recycle or disposal using a diafiltration process. The water-soluble polymer can be recycled for further aqueous-stream processing. To advance Polymer Filtration technology to the selectivity levels required for DOE needs. fixture directions in Polymer Filtration must include rapid development, testing, and characterization of new metal-binding polymers. The development of new chelating molecules can be equated to the process of new drugs or new materials discovery. Thus, the authors want to build upon and adapt the combinatorial chemistry approaches developed for rapid molecule generation for the drug industry to the rapid development of new chelating polymers.

These organisms represent two phylogenetically distinct groups of soil bacteria, each of which has specific features of interest for bioremediation. D. radiodurans exhibits high resistance to external stress; F199 is a deep subsurface (Savannah River Site) organism with unique degradative capabilities. Research Statement To realize the full potential of bioremediation, an understanding of microbial community and individual bacterial responses to the stresses encountered at contaminated sites is needed. Knowledge about genetic responses of soil and subsurface bacteria to environmental stresses, which include low nutrients, low oxygen, and mixed pollutants, will allow extrapolation of basic principles to field applications either using indigenous bacteria or genetically engineered microorganisms. Defining bacterial responses to those stresses presents an opportunity for improving bioremediation strategies, and should contribute to environmental management and restoration actions that would reduce the cost and time required to achieve DOE's cleanup goals.

The model application outlined in this report was conducted for the Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for Alternative Strategies for the Long-Term Management and Use of Depleted UF(sub 6). The FIREPLUME model is an advanced stochastic model for atmospheric plume dispersion that predicts the downwind consequences of a release of toxic materials from an explosion or a fire. The model is based on the nonbuoyant atmospheric dispersion model MCLDM (Monte Carlo Lagrangian Dispersion Model), which has been shown to be consistent with available laboratory and field data. The inclusion of buoyancy and the addition of a postprocessor to evaluate time- varying concentrations lead to the current model. The FIREPLUME model, as applied to fire-related UF(sub 6) cylinder releases, accounts for three phases of release and dispersion. The first phase of release involves the hydraulic rupture of the cylinder due to heating of the UF(sub 6) in the fire. The second phase involves the emission of material into the burning fire, and the third phase involves the emission of material after the fire has died during the cool-down period. The model predicts the downwind concentration of the material as a function of time at any point downwind at or above the ground. All together, five fire-related release scenarios are examined in this report. For each scenario, downwind concentrations of the UF(sub 6) reaction products, uranyl fluoride and hydrogen fluoride, are provided for two meteorological conditions: (1) D stability with a 4-m/s wind speed, and (2) F stability with a 1-m/s wind speed.

Thoughtful use of energy resources is important, not only to meet agency goals, but because energy efficiency helps improve air quality. Sound facility management offers huge savings that affect the agency's bottom line, the environment, and workplace quality. Hard work, innovation, and vision are characteristic of those who pursue energy efficiency. That is why the Department of Energy, Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) is proud to salute the winners of the 1997 Federal Energy and Water Management Award. The 1997 winners represent the kind of 21st century thinking that will help achieve widespread Federal energy efficiency. In one year, the winners, through a combination of public and private partnerships, saved more than $100 million and 9.8 trillion Btu by actively identifying and implementing energy efficiency, water conservation, and renewable energy projects. The contributions of these individuals, small groups, and organizations are presented in this report.

The wastes were further processed to reduce volume and allow for extended temporary storage of a more concentrated material. Waste evaporators have been a central point for waste reduction for many years. Currently, the transfer and processing of the concentrated wastes for permanent storage requires dilution and results in generation of significant quantities of additional liquid wastes.

Annual report AN - 17584940; 4465107 AB - Under Section 61.94 of Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 61, Subpart H, 'National Emission Standards for Emissions of Radionuclides Other Than Radon From Department of Energy Facilities,' each Department of Energy (DOE) facility must submit an annual report documenting compliance. This report addresses the Section 61.94 reporting requirements for operations at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) for calendar year (CY) 1996. The Idaho Operations Office of the DOE is the primary contact concerning compliance with the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) at the INEEL. For calendar year 1996, airborne radionuclide emissions from the INEEL operations were calculated to result in a maximum individual dose to a member of the public of 3.14E-02 mrem (3.14E-07 Sievert). This effective dose equivalent (EDE) is well below the 40 CFR 61, Subpart H, regulatory standard of 10 mrem per year (1.0E-04 Sievert per year).

Tests were conducted with three classes of LITCO glass formulations: Formula 127 (fluorine-bearing), Formula 532 (fluorine-free), and 630 series (both single- and mixed-alkali) glasses. The test matrices included, as appropriate, the Product Consistency Test Method B (PCT-B), the Materials Characterization Center Test 1 (MCC-1), and the Argonne vapor hydration test (VHT). Test durations ranged from 7 to 183 d. In 7-d PCT-Bs, normalized mass losses of major glass-forming elements for the LITCO glasses are similar to, or lower than, normalized mass losses obtained for other domestic candidate waste glasses. Formula 532 glasses form zeolite alteration phases relatively early in their reaction with water. The formation of those phases increased the dissolution rate. In contrast, the Formula 127 glass is highly durable and forms alteration phases only after prolonged exposure to water in tests with very high surface area to volume ratios; these alteration phases have a relatively small effect on the rate of glass corrosion. No alteration phases formed within the maximum test duration of 183 d in PCT- Bs with the 630 series glasses. The corrosion behavior of the mixed-alkali 630 series glasses is similar to that of 630 series glasses containing sodium alone. In VHTs, both single- and mixed- alkali glasses form zeolite phases that increase the rate of glass reaction. The original 630 series glasses and those based on a revised surrogate calcine formulation react at the same rate in PCT-Bs and form the same major alteration phases in VHTs.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Conformational studies of stereoisomeric tetrols derived from syn- and anti-dibenzo[a,l]pyrene diol epoxides AN - 16089759; 4201759 AB - An understanding of the conformational behavior of the stereoisomeric tetrols at the 11,12,13,14-positions of dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P) is essential for the spectroscopic identification of DNA adducts derived from the biologically highly active fjord region syn- and anti-DB[a,l]P-11,12-diol 13,14-epoxides. Conformational effects are expected to play an important role in DNA-DB[a,l]P diol epoxide reactivity, base-sequence specificity, and conformation dependent repair. The results of conformational studies on trans-anti-, cis-anti-, and cis-syn-DB[a,l]P tetrol isomers are presented and compared to the results obtained previously for trans-syn-DB[a,l]P tetrol. Molecular mechanics, dynamical simulations, and semiempirical calculations of electronic transitions are used to interpret the low-temperature fluorescence spectra and super(1)H NMR data. Molecular dynamics simulations (in vacuo) identified two conformers (I and II) for each of the tetrol isomers; in all conformations the aromatic ring system is severely distorted. Fluorescence line-narrowing (FLN) spectroscopy identified two distinct conformational species for the trans-anti isomer, one occurring in ethanol and the other occurring in a glycerol/water matrix. The corresponding structures are assigned based on the S sub(1) infinity S sub(0) transition energies calculated for conformers I and II, respectively. super(1)H NMR spectroscopy confirmed the structure of conformer I at room temperature. In contrast to trans-syn-DB[a,l]P tetrol (where the major conformation was identified as a boat structure), both conformations of trans-anti-DB[a,l]P tetrol feature a half-chair structure for the cyclohexenyl ring with different orientations of the hydroxyl groups. For cis-anti- and cis-syn-DB[a,l]P tetrols, only a single conformer is detected by FLN spectroscopy. The NMR results for the latter appear to be most consistent with a mixture of two half-chair conformers I and II, while for the cis-anti isomer a flattened, boat like conformation was observed. The generally good agreement between the NMR coupling constants and those estimated theoretically indicates that these structures should serve as good starting points for spectroscopic or computational studies of DNA adducts derived from DB[a,l]P diol epoxides.

The groundwater bodies of major karst springs mainly originate from direct infiltration of atmospheric water. The groundwaters emerging from the Figeh main spring have lower stable isotope concentrations than those emerging from the Barada spring. Stable isotopes show that the elevation of the recharge zones of the Figeh main spring (1750 m above sea level) is higher than those for the Figeh side spring (1500 m) and the Harouch spring (1300 m). The groundwater in the Barada spring seems to be recharged in a catchment area with a mean elevation of about 1250 m. The temporal evolution of stable isotope concentrations, tritium content and hydrochemistry show the existence of an interconnection between the aquifers of the Figeh main spring and the Figeh side spring, especially during flood periods. The distinct independent isotopic composition of Harouch spring from those of Figeh main and side springs suggests no interconnection with the Figeh aquifers. Adopting a model with exponential time distribution, the mean turnover time (residence time) of groundwater in Figeh main spring was evaluated to be 50 years. On the basis of this evaluation, a value of about 3.9 billion m super(3) was obtained for the maximum groundwater reservoir size. JF - Journal of Hydrology (Amsterdam) AU - Kattan, Z AD - Dep.

AN - 79006965; 9164158 AB - On-line micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC)-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESIMS) is demonstrated for the analysis of chlorotriazine herbicides and barbiturates. In this study, the micellar velocity is directly manipulated by the adjustment of electroosmosis rather than the electrophoretic velocity of the micelle. The electroosmotic flow is adjusted against the electrophoretic velocity of the micelle by changing the solution pH in MEKC. The elimination of MEKC surfactant introduction into ESIMS is achieved with an anodically migrating micelle, moving away from the electrospray interface. The effects of moving surfactant boundary in the MEKC capillary on separation efficiency and resolution of triazine herbicides and barbiturates are investigated. The mass detection of herbicides and barbiturates sequentially eluted from the MEKC capillary is acquired using the positive and negative electrospray modes, respectively.

The feedback provided by the pilot (crew) of the airplane also is typically non- linear because it has the same mathematical characteristics. An airplane is designed with systems to prevent and mitigate undesired events. The progression of some accidents requires that the operating crew take corrective action(s), which may modify the configuration of some systems. The safety assessment of an aircraft system typically is carried out using ARP (Aerospace Recommended Practice) 4761 (SAE, 1995) methods, such as Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). Such methods may be called static because they model an aircraft system on its nominal configuration during a mission time, but they do not incorporate the action(s) taken by the operating crew, nor the dynamic behavior (non-linearities) of the system (airplane) as a function of time. Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA), also known as Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA), has been applied to highly engineered systems, such as aircraft and nuclear power plants. PSA encompasses a wide variety of methods, including event tree analysis (ETA), FTA, and common-cause analysis, among others.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Chronology of Paleozoic metamorphism and deformation in the Blue Ridge thrust complex, North Carolina and Tennessee AN - 52695174; 1997-049398 AB - The Blue Ridge province in northwestern North Carolina and northeastern Tennessee records a multiphase collisional and accretionary history from the Mesoproterozoic through the Paleozoic. To constrain the tectonothermal evolution in this region, radiometric ages have been determined for 23 regionally metamorphosed amphibolites, granitic gneisses, and pelitic schists and from mylonites along shear zones that bound thrust sheets and within an internal shear zone. Samples were collected along a northwest-southeast traverse across three crystalline thrust sheets located west of the Grandfather Mountain window. Ordovician metamorphic mineral ages (Llanvirnian to Caradocian) are recorded in the highest thrust sheets within the Blue Ridge thrust complex. Six samples of metapelite and amphibolite from the Spruce Pine thrust sheet and five samples of basement gneiss and metagabbro from the Pumpkin Patch thrust sheet yield Sm-Nd and Rb-Sr garnet ages of 460 to 450 Ma and hornblende ages of 472 to 451 Ma. In addition, multiple mineral isochron ages of 457+ or -2 and 458+ or -17 Ma were obtained from a Pumpkin Patch metagabbro. The garnet ages from the Pumpkin Patch thrust sheet (458, 455, and 451 Ma) are similar to those from the structurally overlying Spruce Pine thrust sheet (460, 456, 455, 455, and 450 Ma). Both thrust sheets exhibit similar upper amphibolite-facies conditions. Because of the high closure temperature for garnet, the garnet ages are interpreted to date growth at or near the peak of Taconic metamorphism. Devonian metamorphic ages are recognized in the Spruce Pine thrust sheet, where Sm-Nd and Rb-Sr garnet ages of 386 and 393 Ma and mineral isochron ages of 397+ or -14 and 375+ or -27 Ma are preserved. Hornblendes record similar (super 40) Ar/ (super 39) Ar, Sm-Nd, and Rb-Sr ages of 398 to 379 Ma. Devonian (super 40) Ar/ (super 39) Ar hornblende ages are also recorded in the structurally lower Pumpkin Patch thrust sheet. The Devonian mineral ages are interpreted to date a discrete tectonothermal event, as opposed to uplift and slow cooling from an Ordovician metamorphic event. This interpretation is based in part on the fact that Devonian and Ordovician mineral ages are intermixed spatially within the Spruce Pine and Pumpkin Patch thrust sheets. (super 40) Ar/ (super 39) Ar muscovite ages from regionally metamorphosed rocks indicate that much of the Blue Ridge cooled slowly to temperatures of about 375 degrees C by the Late Mississippian. White micas from mylonite zones separating thrust sheets record (super 40) Ar/ (super 39) Ar plateau ages of 323, 327, 328, and 336 Ma and Rb-Sr ages of 324, 324, 326, and 326 Ma. These reflect the age of Late Mississippian mylonitization (mica growth below or near respective Sr and Ar closure temperatures). The Mississippian mylonitization is interpreted to represent thrusting and initial assembly of crystalline sheets associated with the Alleghanian orogeny.

The room temperature Mossbauer spectrum is fitted with three sextets and two doublets. The sextets are assigned to Fe in troilite, kamacite, and taenite, and the two doublets are assigned to Fe (super 2+) in olivine and pyroxene (no Fe (super 3+) was found). The microprobe trace of Ni concentration across a kamacite-taenite-kamacite area shows a high-Ni concentration at the interfaces between kamacite and taenite. From the microprobe analysis, olivine appears to have a constant composition, whereas pyroxene has a varying composition. The mole fractions of the Fe end members of olivine (fayalite) and pyroxene (ferrosilite) are found to be 23.5% and 23.2%, respectively. Accordingly, the New Halfa meteorite is classified as an ordinary L-type chondrite.

This is especially so at many DOE facilities and other superfund sites. In many cases, speciation of the metals is inaccurate and difficult and the mechanisms by which the metals are retained/released in soils over long times are poorly understood. Consequently, the long-term fate of metals in soils cannot be precisely predicted and often, the remediation recommendations and techniques that are employed to clean up soils may be ineffective or unnecessary. Accordingly, the authors are proposing work to generate basic knowledge on the kinetics and mechanism(s) of heavy metal retention/release by soil mineral colloids as affected by inorganic anion. The nature of the interaction of Cd(II), Co(II), Cr(VI), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Pb(II) with pure soil minerals and extracted soil clays will be investigated. The colloids will be characterized in terms of surface area, surface charge and surface site density. They will be used to study the effect(s) of pH, phosphate rate, and temperature on metals retention/release. The experiments will involve using various kinetic and isothermic sorption equations as models to describe the data thus acquired. The spectroscopic methods will involve using extended x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The data generated from the proposed study will assist in designing better remediation strategies to effectively clean up toxic heavy metal contaminated soils at DOE facilities and other superfund sites.

The objective of the study was to determine if the improved durability of a vitrified mixed waste would allow trench disposal at the Savannah River Site (SRS). Leaching data were compiled from twenty-nine diverse reference glasses, encompassing a wide range of exposed glass surface area to leachant volume ratios (SA/V), and various leachant solutions; all of which had been leached at 90 degrees Celsius, using the MCC-1 or PCT procedures (ASTM Procedures C1220-92 and C1285-94, respectively). The normalized leach rates were scaled to the ambient disposal temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, and compared to the allowable leach rate of uranium - which would meet the performance assessment requirements. The results indicated that a glass of above average durability (vs. the reference glasses) would meet the uranium leaching concentration for direct SRS trench disposal.

The changes in epidermal thickness and their effect on skin permeability after uranium exposure are reported herein. Two experiments (A and B) were performed in Wistar rats weighing 60 g. In experiment A the animals were exposed to U sub(3)O sub(8) (0.012 g d super(-1)) in 30 daily topical applications. In experiment B the animals were treated as in experiment A, followed by a period of non-exposure of 60 d. Samples of the treated area of skin were taken for histologic studies and for the study of the skin permeability. The epidermal thickness was measured on the histological sections. Epidermis was thinner in experimental than in control animals in both experiments. The values in the control groups were 41.05 plus or minus 14.03 mu m (A) and 38.92 plus or minus 16.50 mu m (B) and 21.35 plus or minus 10.29 mu m (A) and 24.06 plus or minus 16.50 mu m (B) in the experimental groups, the differences being statistically significant. Skin permeability was measured placing skin samples in a diffusion cell, in which the upper compartment was filled with a staining solution. The determinations were made with a spectrophotometer. The results revealed that the skin permeability in both experimental groups was higher than in the respective controls, 65% in experiment A and 77% in experiment B. The results revealed that a long term uranium exposure leads to an epidermal atrophy which in turn results in an increased permeability of the skin.

AN - 62434453; ED427894 AB - In 1996, under the coordination of the National Science and Technology Council's (NSTC) Children's Initiative subcommittee, 23 federal agencies involved in child and adolescent research programs came together to examine the federal investment in research focused on the biological, cognitive, and social development of America's children. This report provides starting points for the Federal Government over the next few years as it evaluates the research investments to be made on key issues affecting the health, education, and well-being of children and youth. The report urges strengthening the use of research findings to inform policy and program development and for establishing productive partnerships among public and private sectors. Following an executive summary and an overview, the report is organized into four sections. Section 1, "Snapshot of the Federal Research Portfolio," briefly describes the current federal investment in research on children and adolescents. Section II, "Gaps in the Knowledge Base: Examples of Research Opportunities," provides examples of research needs in understanding children's development, and a basis for establishing research priorities. Section III, "A Key Element of the Research Enterprise: Links to Policymakers and Service Providers," discusses the need for establishing stronger links among researchers, policymakers, and service providers to develop policies and programs that meet the needs of children and adolescents. The concluding section, "Next Steps: Options for Phase Two of the Children's Initiative," provides recommendations for building on the work of this first phase. Four appendices include a list of the Children's Initiative committee and staff; the methodology for assessing the federal investment in research; a 42-item bibliography; and examples of successful research-policy or research-linkages submitted by federal agencies.

Based on the data derived from the pilot a larger portion of the reservoir was selected for an expansion of the project. This area includes parts of five sections covering roughly two square miles. The geology and completion history of the wells in this area were ideal for the project. The expansion area (Phase 1) was isolated from the rest of the reservoir by a fault which was sealing at current reservoir pressure. Nearly all wells were single zone completions and of good mechanical condition. Reservoir pressure was raised from 6 psi to 45 psi by injecting approximately a total of 2.5 MMCFPD in eight gas cap injectors updip of the oilband. Production in the gas injection project area was brought on line along with the rest of the field when the Naval Petroleum Reserve was put on full production in 1976. Production for the project area peaked at 5300 BOPD in 1979. It declined to a low of 2100 BOPD in 1992. In October 1993, eighteen months after gas injection started, production in the project area peaked at 5500 BOPD. Production is currently 5100 BOPD. The SOZ sand being repressurized is the Sub Scalez One (SS-1). It is a Pliocene fluvial deltaic deposit of sands and clays. The SS-1 has been divided into twelve sublayers. Not all sublayers are present in all wells throughout the project area. Sublayer management has been critical in attempts to improve the oil production while limiting the gas production. The effectiveness of the gas injection project was enhanced by the drilling of new vertical and horizontal wells and the remediation of existing wells in the same area.

S. Naval Petroleum Reserve #1, Kern County, California AN - 52716963; 1997-036327 AB - The Gusher and Calitroleum sands, Lower Pliocene aged Etchegion Formation, are the lowermost oil-productive units in the interval referred to as the Western Shallow Oil Zone (WSOZ) at the Elk Hills Naval Petroleum Reserve, Kern County, California. They are silt-size to very fine grained, contain as much as 35% clay, have good porosity (28% avg.) but poor average permeability (<10 md), and are extremely fresh water sensitive. Formation pressure ranges from 1100 to 1800 psi, depending on the degree of depletion. Cumulative oil production from the Gusher and Calitroleum ranges from 15,000 to 312,000 barrels, per well, for those drilled between 1976 and 1983. Most wells are commingled Gusher Calitroleum and many have had other Shallow Oil Zone sands added. Production appears to be dependent primarily on sand quality and clay content. Vertical wells have been drilled and completed in these reservoir on a 20 to 30 acre spacing. After 20 years of production, vertical wells completed in these sands are believed to have drained less than ten acres each. Gusher and/or Calitroleum sands were fracture stimulated in ten wells between 1978 and 1990. The frac jobs were considered to be of mixed results due to the variety of frac parameters utilized over the years as well as the variety in quality of reservoir rock that was treated. Cumulative production has been estimated to be less than five percent of the original oil in place. In an effort to recover more oil from these tight reservoirs, a horizontal well program has been initiated in the Calitroleum sands at Elk Hills The wells were designed to follow a path along strike within the better quality reservoir rock, based on the character of the resistivity curves. If proven successful, additional horizontal wells will be planned for the Gusher sands.

All of these processes produce a VOC-laden air stream from which the VOC must be removed before the air can be discharged or recycled to the generating process. Treatment of these off-gases is often a major portion of the cost of the remediation project. Carbon adsorption and catalytic incineration, the most common methods of treating these gas streams, suffer from significant drawbacks. This report covers the first phase of a two-phase project. The first phase involved the laboratory demonstration of the water separation section of the unit, the production and demonstration of new membrane modules to improve the separation, the design studies required for the demonstration system, and initial contacts with potential field sites. In the second phase, the demonstration system will be built and, after a short laboratory evaluation, will be tested at two field sites.

Nevada Operations Office operates the NTS and has entered into a trilateral agreement with the State of Nevada and the Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA). The trilateral agreement provides a framework for identifying, characterizing, remediating, and closing environmental sites on the NTS and associated bombing ranges. The SCEP waste unit consists of: two steam cleaning effluent ponds; layout pad and associated grease trap; Building 6-623 steam cleaning pad; test pad; Building 6-623 grease trap; Building 6-800 steam cleaning pad; Building 6-800 separator; Building 6-621 sump; and the concrete asbestos piping connecting these components to both SCEPs. Clean closure is the recommended closure strategy for the majority of the components within this CAU. Four components of the unit (Building 6-621 Sump, Test Pad Grease Trap, Building 6-623 Steam Cleaning Pad, and North SCEP pipeline) are recommended to be closed in place. This closure plan provides the strategy and backup information necessary to support the clean closure of each of the individual components within CAU 93. Analytical data generated during the characterization field work and earlier sampling events indicates the majority of CAU 93 soil and infrastructure is non-hazardous (i.e., impacted primarily with petroleum hydrocarbons).

Radon-222 concentrations in the mine varied substantially from 2 kBq m super(-3) at 90 m below the surface level to 12 kBq m super(-3) in the mining areas, 240 m below the surface level. Radon-222 progeny activity and the potential alpha energy concentration (PAEC) appear to have been affected by the airborne particle number concentration and the size distribution. The particle number concentrations were up to 200x10 super(3) cm super(-3). Only an accumulation mode (30-1000 nm) and some bimodal size distributions in this accumulation size range were significant. The combination of diesel particles and the combustion particles from burning propane gas caused a major modal diameter shift to a smaller size range, 50-85 nm, compared with the previously reported values of around 100-200 nm. The high particle number concentration reduced the unattached progeny (0.5-2 nm) to 1000 nm), except samples from the drilling areas and on the stopes ( 1000 nm, accounting for more than 70% of the activity and a minor accumulation mode in the 50-900 nm size range. These size spectra were very different from those of the super(222)Rn progeny that predominantly showed a single significant accumulation mode in the 50-85 nm size region. The accumulation mode in the long-lived radionuclide size spectrum was not found by other investigators in previous measurements in different uranium mines.

The purpose of this effort is to evaluate technologies that are alternatives to open-flame, free-oxygen combustion (as exemplified by incinerators), and recommend to the Waste Type Managers and the MWFA which technologies should be considered for further development. Alternative technologies were defined as those that have the potential to: destroy organic material without use of open-flame reactions with free gas-phase oxygen as the reaction mechanism; reduce the offgas volume and associated contaminants (metals, radionuclides, and particulates) emitted under normal operating conditions; eliminate or reduce the production of dioxins and furans; and reduce the potential for excursions in the process that can lead to accidental release of harmful levels of chemical or radioactive materials. Twenty-three technologies were identified that have the potential for meeting these requirements. These technologies were rated against the categories of performance, readiness for deployment, and environment safety, and health. The top ten technologies that resulted from this evaluation are Steam Reforming, Electron Beam, UV Photo- Oxidation, Ultrasonics, Eco Logic reduction process, Supercritical Water oxidation, Cerium Mediated Electrochemical Oxidation, DETOX(sup SM), Direct Chemical Oxidation (peroxydisulfate), and Neutralization/Hydrolysis.

As the environmental consequences of such emissions began to surface, increasingly stringent, federal and state government mandated pollution control requirements were imposed on the electric power generating industry. Coal burning utilities were forced to make one of two choices. They could install flue gas scrubbing equipment or start to burn lower sulfur containing coal. The proposed research is directed at those utilities that have made the second choice, or utilities desiring to undertake new plant construction.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Dumping pump and treat: rapid cleanups using thermal technology AN - 17587354; 4464995 AB - Underground spills of volatile hydrocarbons are often difficult to clean up, especially if the contaminants are present in or below the water table as a separate liquid-organic phase. Excavating and treating the contaminated soil may not be practical or even possible if the affected zone is relatively deep. Merely pumping groundwater has proven to be ineffective because huge amounts of water must be flushed through the contaminated area to clean it; even then the contaminants may not be completely removed. Due to the low solubility of most common contaminants, such pump and treat systems can be expected to take decades to centuries to actually clean a site. Today, many sites are required to pump and treat contaminated groundwater even though there is no expectation that the site will be cleaned. In these cases, the pumps simply control the spread of the contaminant, while requiring a continuous flow of money, paperwork, and management attention. Although pump and treat systems are relatively inexpensive to operate, they represent along term cost. Most importantly, they rarely remove enough contaminant to change the property's status. Although a pump and treat system can offer compliance in a regulatory sense, it doesn't solve the site's liability problem. Thermal methods promise to solve this dilemma by actually cleaning a property in a short time period, thus limiting the period of liability. This may involve cleaning a site to closure during the initial contaminant-removal phase, or removal of the majority of the contaminant so that natural processes such as bioremediation can return the site to pristine condition over a period of years, without further owner intervention. Today's regulatory environment encourages this approach through efforts such as the brownfields initiatives. In either case, this requires a strong commitment on the part of the site owner. Most if not all the cleanup occurs within the first year or so, and nearly all the cost. In our experience, the total cleanup cost is still significantly smaller than with conventional methods. The real benefit is the cleanup and thus the removal of liability within a realistic time frame.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BELLEFONTE CONVERSION PROJECT, HOLLYWOOD, JACKSON COUNTY, ALABAMA. AN - 36405408; 6309 AB - PURPOSE: The conversion of the partially completed Bellefonte Nuclear Plant in northeast Alabama to a fossil-fuel plant is proposed. The facility is located on a 1,600-acre site adjacent to the Tennessee River near Hollywood, Alabama. The two-unit nuclear generating plant was authorized for construction in 1974. By 1988, when the facilities were nearly fully constructed, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) decided to defer completion in response to lower-than-expected load forecasts for the region. In December 1994, the TVA announced that the Bellefonte would not completed as a nuclear power plant without a partner and put any further construction activities on hold. The proposed conversion to a fossil fuel plant is viewed as a means of meeting regional energy demands while avoiding the environmental risks of nuclear power and recouping some of the $4.6 billion already invested in the plant. The converted plant would have an electric capacity of up to 3,000 megawatts (MWs), depending on the conversion method selected. Each method would require a significant investment in new equipment. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The action alternatives would include pulverized coal units, requiring four 600-MW boilers equipped with particulate and sulfur dioxide removal systems; natural gas combined cycle units, requiring nine gas turbines, nine heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), and nine stacks; integrated gasification combined cycle units, requiring eight coal and petroleum coke gasification plants, eight combustion turbines, and eight HRSGs; integrated gasification combined cycle units with three coal gasification plants; and a combination of the integrated gasification combined cycle units and the natural gas combined cycle units. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would supply needed electrical power to the Tennessee Valley and would benefit the local economy and help to meet regional energy demands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Although air quality standards would not be exceeded under any of the conversion options, each would result in significant increases in emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and carbon dioxide. Noncombustible wastes would be disposed of at nearby municipal landfills. Storm water runoff, leaching from contaminated or disturbed areas, and various construction activities would damage water quality and aquatic resources. Construction of barge landing facilities would result in the loss of 20 acres of wetlands.

It is a land disposal unit, located southeast of Building 650, that was in operation from 1965 to October 1992, with an estimated annual discharge rate of less than 984 liters from designated sinks, floor drains, and emergency decontamination showers in Building 650. The objectives of the planned activities are to: obtain sufficient sample analytical data from which further assessment, remediation, and/or closure strategies may be developed for the site: and obtain sufficient sample analytical data for management of investigation-derived waste (IDW). All references to regulations in this plan are to the versions of the regulations that are current at the time of publication of this plan. The scope of the characterization will include subsurface soil boring (i.e., drilling), in situ sampling of the soil within subsurface soil borings, and sample analysis for both site characterization and waste management purposes.

The need for air toxic emissions controls may arise as the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency proceeds with implementation of Title III of the Clean Air Act Amendment (CAAA) of 1990. Data generated during the program will provide utilities with the technical and economic information necessary to reliably evaluate various air toxics emissions compliance options such as fuel switching, coal cleaning, and flue gas treatment. The development work is being carried out using B&W's new Clean Environment Development Facility (CEDF) wherein air toxics emissions control strategies can be developed under controlled conditions, and with proven predictability to commercial systems. Tests conducted in the CEDF provide high quality, repeatable, comparable data over a wide range of coal properties, operating conditions, and emissions control systems. Development work to date has concentrated on the capture of mercury, other trace metals, fine particulate, and the inorganic species hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Teaching a new dog old tricks: the synergy of ISO 14000, NEPA, and integrated ES&H management AN - 17162168; 4465612 AB - For more than twenty-five years, federal agencies have wrestled with (and even learned from) the planning and decision making processes of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Accordingly, agencies have developed established processes for environmental planning, impact assessment,and environmental-based decision making. Agencies are now faced with an opportunity to align existing environmental planning systems developed under NEPA with those of ISO 14001, the new international standard for environmental management systems. Through experience gained with NEPA, agencies may have an opportunity to assist the private sector through sharing of lessons learned in identification and mitigation of environmental aspects and impacts. However, agencies should also learn from the private sector how integrated environmental management includes integrating environment, safety, and health (ES&H) considerations in such away as to add direct value to the business. In times of continued and increasing federal agency downsizing, the government can streamline ES&H management planning by integrating ES&H values with business goals. The first synergy of NEPA and ISO 14001 is the identification and assessment of environmental impacts. Under IS0 14001,an organization must identify the 'environmental aspects of its activities, products or services'. This is similar to the approach taken in NEPA where agencies must evaluate significant environmental impacts of its actions. The second synergy is the reduction and mitigation of the impacts. IS0 14001 requires a commitment to prevention of pollution and the NEPA process integrates pollution prevention with environmental planning. IS0 14001 requires checking and corrective action to monitor and measure progress toward environmental goals. NEPA applies mitigation measures to avoid or mitigate potential impacts. Because agencies have been conducting NEPA impact assessment for more than twenty-five years, this body of impact assessment experience can provide valuable knowledge to the private sector where environmental impact analysis is a new approach for some industries. One of the IS0 14000 series of standards actually states that impact assessment is still in its infancy. Therefore, NEPA analysts may be able to provide established impact assessment techniques to industry. However, Federal ES&H managers must learn from the private sector by using the integrated environmental management system as a corporate tool to tie agency objectives with environmental goals. In a time of increasing federal downsizing, the ES&H professional must become smarter about how their service adds to the agency goals and makes the most of the taxpayer's dollar. Integrating ES&H management in such a way that business goals are met is the way of the future in both the public and private sector.

The Chestnut Ridge Regime encompasses a section of Chestnut Ridge west of Scarboro Road and east of an unnamed drainage feature southwest of the US Department of Energy (DOE) Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant (unless otherwise noted, directions are in reference to the Y-12 Plant administrative grid). The Chestnut Ridge Regime contains several sites used for management of hazardous and nonhazardous wastes associated with plant operations. Groundwater and surface water quality monitoring associated with these waste management sites is performed under the auspices of the Y-12 Plant Groundwater Protection Program (GWPP). Included in this annual monitoring report are the groundwater monitoring data obtained in compliance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Post-Closure Permit for the Chestnut Ridge Regime (post-closure permit) issued by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) in June 1996. Besides the signed certification statement and the RCRA facility information summarized below, condition II.C.6 of the post-closure permit requires annual reporting of groundwater monitoring activities, inclusive of the analytical data and results of applicable data evaluations, performed at three RCRA hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal (TSD) units: the Chestnut Ridge Sediment Disposal Basin (Sediment Disposal Basin), the Chestnut Ridge Security Pits (Security Pits), and Kerr Hollow Quarry.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-03-24 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Modulation of radiation damage by cytokines. AN - 79414820; 9368290 AB - Cytokines, hormone-like proteins that are produced by stimulated cells and tissues, serve as intercellular messengers. The production of an expanding number of recombinant cytokines in pharmacological quantities has permitted an assessment of the benefit they may provide in preserving and restoring functions of tissues compromised by irradiation. Included here are studies indicating that the cytokines interleukin 1, tumor necrosis factor, stem cell factor and interleukin 12 protect mice from radiation lethality when given prior to irradiation, and even in untreated mice these cytokines serve in innate defenses against external stimuli. In contrast, transforming growth factor beta, interleukin 6 and interferon, given before irradiation, sensitize the mice to radiation lethality. Myeloprotection against ionizing radiation and chemotherapeutic drugs by interleukin 1 depends on the regimen of treatment and may be related to the temporary patterns of induced cytokines and to the resulting changes in the cycling status of the progenitor cells. Interleukin 12, through induction and interaction with additional cytokines, has contrasting effects on different tissues, i.e., protecting the bone marrow but sensitizing the gut. Insights gained from such studies into the cellular mechanisms of regulation of radiation-induced damage by cytokines are discussed. Whether a "trade-off" of protection of some tissues and sensitization of other tissues applies to cytokine therapy in humans is unknown.

AN - 78871701; 9061848 AB - Reduction of major risks to the public and workers is a top priority of all federal agencies. Given current and future budget realities, agencies cannot attempt to address all risks simultaneously nor to address certain relatively lower risk activities as rapidly as some would like. The assumptions and judgments inherent in using risk analysis in the absence of data, however, have to be clearly stated. What is needed is an integrated risk assessment and management process that meets the current and future needs of the government, as well as of stakeholders. Yet there have been many questions raised regarding risk assessment: our ability to define the risks on a specific substance or site basis and in a systematic way; methodology questions about identifying and assessing diverse hazards and risks as well as uncertainties in the estimates, data gaps, and concern over the quality of information; and the fact that "who" performs the risk assessment matters. Knowing these controversies surrounding risk and the use of risk-based approach, the Department of Energy (DOE) requested the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council to determine whether and how risk and risk-based decisions could be incorporated into a major federal program, the DOE's Office of Environmental Management. The report identified the major obstacles, issues, and barriers to implementing a risk-based management approach. The report concluded that the use of risk-based approach could help compare outcomes, build consensus, and gain early public involvement to include cultural, socioeconomic, historical, and religious values, if its purposes and limitations are well defined. A status of the DOE's ability to implement the recommendations presented in the report on the use of risk assessment in a major federal program and the adoption of principles for using risk analysis will be given.

The stones that comprise the riprap layer are evaluated by the performance of standard rock quality tests (Specific Gravity, Absorption, Sodium Sulfate Soundness, Los Angeles Abrasion, Tensile, and Schmidt Impact Hammer). The composite of the test scores indicates the general rock quality that in turn is used as an indicator of the long-term rock durability. Rock samples were collected from a reclaimed impoundment near Lakeview, Oregon. Site monitoring determined that individual stone particles were degrading at an accelerated rate. The samples were subjected to rock quality tests, petrographic examination, and a series of proposed durability tests. The rock quality tests and petrographic evaluations indicated that the rock was suitable for erosion protection. However, the durability evaluation suggested that the rock may disintegrate in 130 to 272 years. It is suggested that a) a rock durability assessment procedure be formulated, b) long-term surveillance/monitoring programs be instituted for uranium mill tailings impoundments, and c) site specific freeze/thaw cycles be considered for site analysis.

Most of the Title I former processing sites retain residual ground water contamination in their uppermost aquifers as a result of former milling activities and past uncontrolled tailings seepage. The general basis for natural flushing candidacy is that their uppermost aquifers are a potential drinking water resource, the affected resource is not currently nor projected to be a source of drinking water to local municipalities, an institutional control can be implemented to prevent inappropriate uses of the contaminated ground water during the flushing period, and the contaminants of concern are predicted to attenuate to EPA Maximum Concentration Limits (MCLs) and/or background within a 100 year time frame. Candidate sites were modeled using analytical and numerical methods to predict the flushing process. JF - Proceedings of the ...

The Department of Energy (DOE) prepared a new Program Plan in 1996 after substantial funding cuts by the U.S. Congress, and defined a October 1998 Viability Assessment for Yucca Mountain that contains, 1) a repository and waste package design, 2) a total system performance analysis to show how these designs will perform in the geologic setting, 3) a cost estimate for building and operating the system, and 4) a plan to identify and cost the work that remains for licensing. The geotechnical issues at Yucca Mountain were known when a Site Characterization Plan was released in 1988; volcanic activity, seismicity, vadose ground water flow, thermal effects, human intrusion, among others. Completion of an underground Exploratory Studies Facility in April 1997 is a convergence point to analyze data collected from surface and underground investigations, evolve repository and waste package designs, and project their long-term performance in this geologic setting. By 1998, the DOE will be able to present an integrated picture of a repository system that was not possible before underground access, and better understand the prospects for licensing a repository. The DOE will not be in a position to recommend Yucca Mountain for repository development or licensing by 1998. The former step is not expected until 2000, the latter in 2002.

The maximum amount of fissile uranium in containers and disposal cells is regulated, assuming that the uranium will remain in place. Leakage at landfills suggests that wastes do migrate and have the potential to become more concentrated under certain geochemical conditions. We used two coupled hydrogeochemical modeling codes to evaluate uranium migration and accumulation: PHREEQC, a mixing cell model, and ParSSim, a coupled geochemistry and transport code that runs on parallel processors to increase efficiency. PHREEQC was useful for establishing important geochemical reactions, and ParSSim provided a more realistic assessment of concentrations. We postulated two scenarios for increasing the concentration of immobile uranium in waste areas: entrapment on sorption sites and precipitation of uranium in reducing zones. Coupled models were needed to evaluate the interplay between hydrogeochemical processes that mobilized uranium and those that immobilized uranium. For sorption, mobilization of uranium as carbonate complexes inhibited sorption and limited the increase in concentration to levels that were below criticality safety concern. For precipitation in reducing zones, the oxidizing water that mobilizes uranium potentially could inhibit precipitation, but modeling showed an increase in immobile uranium concentration. However, to achieve thicknesses of concern for nuclear criticality the source term must be larger than typical disposal practices.

AN - 52476707; 1999-030139 AB - The Wells Creek structure in northwestern middle Tennessee is an anomalous geologic feature whose origin has been the subject of speculation since its discovery. Detailed mapping of Wells Creek by geologists at Vanderbilt University revealed a circular structure, 8 mi in diameter, with a brecciated Lower Ordovician central core surrounded by concentric horst-and-graben rings of Lower Mississippian strata. The dominant relative movements in Wells Creek were downdropping of the grabens, uplift of the central block, and lateral offset along radial faults. Wells Creek is generally considered to be due to a meteorite impact because of its typical impact structure and the presence of shatter cones. The buried Ames structure in Major County, Oklahoma, another feature with typical impact structure, lacks shatter cones, but contains shocked quartz and has granite basement involved in the structure. I consider Ames and Wells Creek similar enough in size and structural elements--central uplift, horst-and-graben zones, radial faulting, and brecciation--to warrant considering Wells Creek as a structural model for Ames.

The three goals of the SCFA are: Contain and/or stabilize contamination sources that pose an imminent threat to surface and ground waters; Delineate DNAPL contamination in the subsurface and remediate DNAPL-contaminated soils and ground water; and Remove a full range of metal and radionuclide contamination in soils and ground water. To meet the challenges of remediating subsurface contaminants in soils and ground water, SCFA funded more than 40 technologies in fiscal year 1997.

This survey was based on panned concentrates sampling techniques, during which a total of 68 samples were collected from most of major rivers and their tributaries covering an area of more than 1000 km (super 2) . The aim of this geochemical investigation was to determine metals dispersion, their relation to mineralization, and regional distribution in the drainage system of the area. Our research reveals that Chitral area has a high potential for mineralization. Some valleys contain polymetallic anomalies while others have either precious or base metals. Strong anomalies of precious and base metals, together with As and Sb were detected in the northernmost part (Tirich Gol valley) of the surveyed area in which the respective ranges of Au, Ag, As, Sb, Cu, Pb, and Zn are 20- 2500 ppb, 2-22 ppm, 2-1500 ppm, 1-18 ppm, 50-400 ppm, 100-1200 ppm, and 50-550 ppm. The significant mineral occurrences are found north of Reshun Formation. The central part (Barum, Pasti and Shoghor) of the survey area shows polymetallic signature with significant enrichment of precious metals Au = 10-200 ppb, Ag = 1-12 ppm, As = 10-200 ppm and Sb = 1-10 ppm). The southern part, mainly Kafiristan valley, is high in Pb (100-1800 ppm) with some anomalies of Au (1-100 ppb) and Ag (2-17 ppm). New targets for mineral prospecting were located at several localities of Chitral valley. Important regional structures, such as faults, and their significance regarding mineralization were also defined during this investigation.

The Photo Skid Wastewater Pit was used for disposal of photochemical process waste, and there is a concern that such disposal may have released photochemicals and metals to the soil beneath the pit and adjacent to it. The purpose of this investigation is to identify the presence and nature of contamination present in and adjacent to the wastewater pit and to determine the appropriate course of environmental response action for the site. The potential courses of action for the site are clean closure through remediation, closure in place (with or without remediation), or no further action. JF - DOE/NV (U. S. Department of Energy.

Generally, the waste is unused preserved groundwater trip blanks, used and expired calibration solutions, and other similar waste that cannot be returned to an ERC project for disposal. The specific waste streams addressed by this SSWMI are identified in Section 2.0. This SSWMI was prepared in accordance with BHI-EE-02, Environmental Requirements. Waste generated from field sample collection activities should be returned to the project and managed in accordance with the applicable project- specific SSWMI whenever possible. However, returning all field sample collection and associated waste to a project for disposal may not always be practical or cost effective. Therefore, the ERC field sampling organization must manage and arrange to dispose of the waste using the (Bechtel Hanford, Inc. (BHI)) Field Support Waste Management (FSWM) services. This SSWMI addresses those waste streams that are the responsibility of the field sampling organization to manage and make arrangements for disposal.

Shoreline drive point sampling at multiple depths also revealed chromium concentrations increasing with depth to a maximum of 869 (micro)g/L at approximately 3.05 m below the water table. Because the 1907-DR Process Sewer Outfall is located at the point where the highest concentrations of chromium were found, it was thought that the sewer outfall could be the source of chromium for these drive point and pore water samples. Drive point sampling and substrate pore water sampling upstream of the 1907-DR Process Sewer Outfall also revealed elevated concentrations of chromium. The drive point sampling revealed chromium concentrations were as high as 414 (micro)g/L at a location 457 m upstream of the 1907-DR Process Sewer Outfall, while the substrate pore water samples near the same location had a chromium concentration of 68 (micro)g/L. Since the 1907-DR Process Sewer Outfall is within 60 m of the Columbia River, it is unlikely that chromium from this source could have moved that far upgradient. Therefore, the question remained: Why are there elevated concentrations of chromium along this shoreline. To help answer this question, a single well was drilled approximately 152 m inland from the drive point sample with the highest chromium (869 (micro)g/L). The groundwater sampling results from the new well showed a chromium concentration of approximately 1030 (micro)g/L. This well identified groundwater as the source of chromium in the pore water and drive point samples. This document presents the chemical sampling results from well 199-D4-1 and the plans for gathering data to identify the areal extent of the chromium plume for a possible remedial action.

However, little is known about how plants take up heavy metals from the soil and transport them to different parts of the plant. An important long term goal is to understand how heavy metals, such as copper and cadmium, are transported across the plasma membrane of plant cells. The proposed research is focused on a putative heavy metal uptake pump, AXA2p (Arabidopsis X (unknown heavy metal) ATPase, isoform 2 protein), identified in a model plant, Arabidopsis. AXA belongs to a super- family of ion-translocating P-type ATPases and is the first heavy metal pump cloned from plants. AXA2 is most similar to a subfamily of pumps recently identified in bacteria, yeast and humans which appear to pump heavy metals such as copper and cadmium. Three specific aims are proposed: (1) Determine the ion specificity of the AXA2 pump, (2) Determine how pumping activity is regulated, and (3) Determine if an increased uptake of specific heavy metals can be achieved by engineering a transgenic plant with a hyper-active pump. The hypothesis being tested is that AXA2 encodes a high affinity uptake pump for copper, with lower affinity for metals such as cadmium, zinc and nickel. Fundamental research on heavy metal transporters may eventually permit transgenic plants to be engineered with specific heavy metal uptake systems useful for bioremediation. The long term goal of the proposed research is to understand how heavy metals, such as copper and cadmium, are taken up from the soil and translocated throughout the plant. The focus is on a putative heavy metal pump, AXA2p (Arabidopsis X (unknown heavy metal) ATPase, isoform 2 protein), identified in a model plant, Arabidopsis. AXA2 belongs to a large family of ion-translocating P-type ATPases. AXA2p is the first heavy metal pump cloned from plants and is most similar to a subfamily of heavy metal pumps recently identified in bacteria, yeast and humans.

Results show that clay and silt are the major components in the soil samples, which exhibits a relatively low hydraulic conductivity of about 10 (super -7) approximately 10 (super -8) cm/sec. The pH value of soil samples is in the neutral range (from pH 6.1 to 7.6) and its variation with depth is insignificant. Organic matter content is another important factor which affects soil properties such as specific surface area, chemical adsorption capacity and cation exchange capacity. Results indicate that the organic matter content ranges between 0.79% and 1.81%. The effective cation exchange capacity is from 13.8 to 21.2 meq/100 g. The values of moisture content, specific surface area and pH (sub zpc) range from 10.2-16.9%, 0.4-0.9 (m (super 2) /g) and 2.18-2.60, respectively.

Naturally occurring uranium-and thorium-series radioactive disequilibria will provide information on the rates of adsorption-desorption and transport of radioactive contaminants as well as on fluid transport and rock dissolution in a natural setting. This study will also provide an improved characterization of preferential flow and contaminant transport at the Idaho Environmental and Engineering Lab. (INEEL) site. To a lesser extent, the study will include rocks in the unsaturated zone. The authors will produce a realistic model of radionuclide migration under unsaturated and saturated field conditions at the INEEL site, taking into account the retardation processes involved in the rock/water interaction. The major tasks are to (1) determine the natural distribution of U, Th, Pa and Ra isotopes in rock minerals, sorbed phases on the rocks, and in fluids from both saturated and unsaturated zones at the site, and (2) study rock/water interaction processes using U/Th series disequilibrium and a statistical analysis-based model for the Geologic heterogeneity plays an important role in transporting contaminants in fractured rocks. Preferential flow paths in the fractured rocks act as a major pathway for transport of radioactive contaminants in groundwaters. The weathering/dissolution of rock by groundwater also influences contaminant mobility. Thus, it is important to understand the hydrogeologic features of the site and their impact on the migration of radioactive contaminants. In this regard, quantification of the rock weathering/dissolution rate and fluid residence time from the observed decay-series disequilibria will be valuable. By mapping the spatial distribution of the residence time of groundwater in fractured rocks, the subsurface preferential flow paths (with high rock permeability and short fluid residence time) can be determined.

When a volatile contaminant exists as free product or in dissolved form in the vadose environment, upward transport can occur with the contaminant ultimately being vented as a vapor into the atmosphere. This transport happens naturally and can be enhanced by anisotropy resulting from heterogeneities in the vadose regime. Several stages in the transport process are involved in going from a volatile, liquid state contaminant to a contaminant vapor vented at the surface. In a three-year effort, called the Vadose Zone Transport Study, the authors are investigating, with the aid of existing data, new field studies involving dissolved tracer gases and 3-D diagnostic computer simulations that provide a framework to interpret the observations, the detailed nature of each of these stages of transport in several different kinds of vadose regimes. They are emphasizing the impact of features specific to a site, that is, the local geology and hydrology, on each stage of the transport process. In particular they want to better understand how the time scales for (1) partitioning contaminants from the liquid to the vapor states and then (2) transporting the vapor out of the vadose regime are dependent on the specific character of a site. Such time-scale information will be important for evaluating the potential of contaminant sources as well as remediation strategies including natural remediation approaches.

This is followed by the literature cited and the pertinent tables and figures. The overall objectives of this project are to gain a fundamental understanding of the solubility and stability of metal chelates in supercritical CO (sub 2) . Extraction with CO (sub 2) is a excellent way to remove organic compounds from soils, sludges and aqueous solutions and recent research has demonstrated that together with chelating agents it is a viable way to remove metals, as well. The authors seek to gain fundamental knowledge that is vital to computing phase behavior, and modeling and designing processes using CO (sub 2) to separate organics and metal compounds from DOE mixed wastes. The overall program is a comprehensive one to measure local solvation of metal chelates and to determine metal chelate stability in supercritical fluid mixtures using UV-vis and FTIR spectroscopy. The spectroscopic studies provide information on the solution microstructure, which they are using in concert with their own and published solubility data to evaluate and develop thermodynamic models of the solubility behavior. Finally, they are implementing a more reliable computational technique, based on interval mathematics, to compute the phase equilibria using the thermodynamic models. This fundamental information about metal chelate stability and solubility in supercritical CO (sub 2) is important in the design of processes using CO (sub 2) to extract components from mixed wastes and in determining the optimum operating conditions.

In many instances the types of contamination can be directly attributed to man's actions. For instance, the burial of wastes, casual disposal of solvents in unlined pits, and the development of irrigated agriculture have all contributed to groundwater contamination. The kinds of contaminants include chlorinated solvents and toxic trace elements that are soluble and mobile in soils and aquifers. Oxyanions of selenium, chromium, uranium, arsenic, and chlorine (as perchlorate) are frequently found as contaminants on many DOE sites. In addition, the careless disposal of cleaning solvents, such as carbon tetrachloride and trichloroethylene, has further contaminated many groundwaters at these sites. In agricultural areas of the western US, shallow groundwaters have become contaminated with high levels of selenate, chromate, and uranyl. The management of these waters requires treatment to remove the contaminants before reuse or surface water disposal. In one instance in the Central Valley of California, the discharge of selenate-contaminated shallow groundwater to a wildlife refuge caused catastrophic bird deaths and deformities of embryos. At sites where solid-propellant rocket motors were tested or disposed of, high concentrations of perchlorate and trichloroethylene are being found in the groundwater. A potential remediation method for many of these oxyanions and chlorinated-solvents is to react the contaminated water with zero-valent iron. In this reaction, the iron serves as both an electron source and as a catalyst. Elemental iron is already being used, on an experimental basis, for the reductive dechlorination of solvents and the removal of toxic trace elements. Both in situ reactive barriers and above-ground reactors are being developed for this purpose. However, the design and operation of these treatment systems requires a detailed process-level understanding of the interactions between the contaminants and the iron surfaces. Only limited success has been achieved in the field, partly because the basic surface chemical reactions are not well understood. The authors are performing fundamental investigations of the interactions of the relevant chlorinated solvents, trace elements, and trace element-containing compounds with single- and poly-crystalline Fe surfaces. The aim of this work is to develop the fundamental physical and chemical understanding that is necessary for the development of cleanup techniques and procedures. The authors are performing both bulk chemical measurements of the reduction reactions and surface science studies of model chemical systems. During this first year of funding, the authors have already made significant progress in both areas. Initially, they have focused primarily on the reduction of selenate by elemental iron. They have also performed some work with chromate, perchlorate, uranyl, and carbon tetrachloride, as well. In the following sections, some of the progress is described.

The study is being conducted in three separate phases, the first to better understand the mechanisms involved in cDCE and VC biodegradation, the second to evaluate the chemistry of the processes involved, and the third, to study factors affecting reaction kinetics. Major funding is being provided by the US Department of Energy, but the DuPont Chemical Company has also agreed to directly cost-share on the project at a rate of $75,000 per year for the three year period. Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE) are solvents that are among the most widely occurring organic groundwater contaminants. The biological anaerobic reduction-of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs) such as PCE and TCE to cDCE and VC in groundwater was reported in the early 1980s. Further reduction of PCE and its intermediates to ethene was reported in 1989. Several pure cultures of anaerobic bacteria have been found to reductively dehalogenate PCE to cDCE Rates of reduction of PCE and TCE to cDCE are high and the need for electron donor addition for the reactions is small. However, the subsequent reduction of cDCE to VC, and then of VC to the harmless end product, ethene, is much slower and only recently has a pure culture been reported that is capable of reducing cDCE to VC or VC to ethene. There are numerous. reports of such conversions in mixed cultures. The reduction of cDCE and VC to ethene is where basic research is most needed and is the subject of this study.

Currently it is not possible to accurately determine the interfacial surface area of non-aqueous contaminants. As a result it is impossible to (1) accurately establish the health and environmental risk associated with the pollution: (2) precisely quantify and evaluate the potential efficacy of various in situ treatment technologies; and (3) conduct reliable performance assessments of the applied remediation technology during and after the clean-up. The global goal of this investigation is to try to remedy these shortcomings through the development of a formalized functional relationship between interfacial area (a), phase saturation (S) and capillary pressure (P). The development of this relationship will allow the direct determination of the fluid-fluid interfacial area from field measurements. Quantitative knowledge of the surface area of the non-aqueous phase pollutant facilitates accurate predictions of both the rate of dissolution and the contact area available for treatment. In addition. if saturation and capillary pressure measurements are made during the remediation process. both the spatial and temporal effectiveness of the remediation technology can be quantified. This information can then be used to optimize the restoration program. The project objective will be achieved through an integrated and focused research program that is comprised of theoretical computational and experimental efforts. These efforts are organized into a framework of four tasks: (1) improve on newly developed laboratory techniques to quantify and directly measure the functional relationship between phase interfacial area (a), saturation (S) and capillary pressure (P). (2) Develop new computational algorithms in conjunction with laboratory measurements to predict P, S and a. (3) Test existing theory and develop new theory to describe the relationship between P, S and a at the large scale. (4) Synthesize the results of the experimental, computational and theoretical investigative efforts to develop a generic model based upon an intrinsic soil metric to describe the functional dependence of P, S and a.

The investigation involves an analysis of surface lineaments mapped from Landsat images, surface fracture zones interpreted from monoclinal traces, and surface-fracture traces mapped from color-infrared aerial photographs, as well as an analysis of regional geology. The analysis of surface lineaments and monoclinal traces covered the whole northeastern quarter of Arizona, whereas that of surface-fracture traces focused on the Black Mesa basin area and the Cameron area. An orientation analysis of surface and subsurface linear features showed that the basic structural grains of northeastern Arizona consist of three components trending northwest, north, and northeast. The structural style of northeastern Arizona is considered as that of basement-involved extensional fault blocks. The Precambrian basement rocks are divided into regular blocks bounded by northeast- and northwest-trending fault systems. It was also observed that many producing oil and gas reservoirs in Colorado and northwestern New Mexico, and almost all in the state of Arizona are positioned along and/or at the intersections of the surface major fracture zones. A subtle association appears to exist between oil shows and surface fracture zones and/or basement fault systems within northeastern Arizona. As a result, this study suggests that the areas along or adjacent to the surface fracture zones and/or basement fault systems in northeastern Arizona be considered priority locations for exploratory drilling and/or geophysical and geochemical surveys.

A 2-D seismic survey and interpretation was initiated by GRI and NIPSCO, the geological modeling and reservoir analysis is being accomplished through a Cooperative Research And Development Agreement (CRADA) between Northern Indiana Public Service Company and USDOE Morgantown Energy Technology Center. An integrated analysis of well logs, core data, and seismic survey data was applied to the Royal Center Storage Field in the Trenton Limestone aquifer. The field is a structurally closed high with a northeast strike and a parallel fault on the southeast boundary. The formation porosity appears to be due to a combination of dolomitization and fracturing in the structural high of the asymmetric anticline. Core permeability data was correlated to Epilog calculated porosity and gas saturations. The data show complex relationships exist when compared in 3-D. The interpretation of the high resolution 2-D seismic data indicates a correlation of anomalously high amplitudes with the development of significant porosity in the upper portion of the Trenton. A downhole multi-component, multi offset, VSP survey was then run to determine if the amplitude anomalies from the 2-D seismic survey could be detected and their orientations calculated to assist in designing the horizontal well. The integrated results from all of the studies were used to site a horizontal well in the northern portion of the field.

AN - 50931165; 1997-065096 AB - Risk can involve very different concepts depending on the individuals or organizations involved. The topic of risk varies widely with perceptions. Besides human health and ecological risks associated with exposures to contaminants, risk can and often does involve public perception, finances, materialistic resources, socioeconomics, cultures, natural resource damages, regulatory compliance and politics. All these topics have their own unique flavor of risk when dealing with environmental contamination. Private industry faced with mitigating risks associated with hydrocarbon contamination must fully understand how the various types of risk will impact their current and future operations. This is the art of risk management. Every "type of risk" can be categorized as immediate, future or both. With few exceptions, all types of risk involve probabilities for loss of financial and materialistic resources. Developing a process by which such financial and materialistic losses are kept to a minimum while continuing to gain ground towards a goal (or a profit) is the ultimate objective of the risk manager. By using the tools of clear communication, early level negotiations with regulatory authorities and public stakeholders, land use precedents and timely efficient investigations much of the risk associated with hydrocarbon-contaminated sites can be controlled. This can be accomplished without extensive use of decision analysis tools and costly detailed environmental risk assessments.

The ability to find and map open, natural fractures in advance of drilling represents the major challenge for future development of these low permeability reservoirs. To further the development of fracture detection technologies, a joint R&D and field demonstration effort involving DOE/METC, Barrett Resources and Advanced Resources International was established. The technical approach is to start with the use of low cost regional reconnaissance methods to locate subtle basement structures that cause overlying sediments to fracture. High-resolution aeromagnetic data (2,500 mi (super 2) ) were acquired to delineate basement geometry. Remote sensing imagery analysis was used in conjunction with 400 line-miles of 2-D seismic to provide consistency of interpretation. The integrated geologic study revealed that the basin structural fabric was dominated by a series of large northwest trending reactivated basement features. Northwest aligned natural gas production trends confirmed the importance of basement features for causing natural fractures and high productivity fairways. In April 1996, a 4.5 mi (super 2) 3-D multiazimuth P-wave reflection study was acquired to target subsurface fracture sets. The 3-D survey is full-azimuth, full-offset designed to evaluate P-wave azimuthal anisotropy. For offset amplitude variation with azimuth processing, we identified the fast velocity and therefore open fracture orientation as N30 degrees W consistent with the integrated geologic prediction. Mapped amplitude anomalies have been interpreted as subsurface open fracture clusters. A six-well program, starting in October 1996, is being located to target the amplitude anomalies and will be used to verify commercial viability of this newly developed natural fracture detection technology.

The modeling of a DNAPL saturated sand verses a water saturated sand suggests with 120Hz frequencies or higher there would be an AVO anomaly. Acquisition parameters for imaging the DNAPL was derived from an AVO model, which was based upon previously acquired seismic and well data. This would allow the data set to be processed using AVO techniques. The seismic line was located in such a manner that it started in area where the unconsolidated sand was water filled and crossed a known pool of free phase DNAPL saturated sand and continue back into a water saturated sand. Using a weighted stacking processing technique (Smith and Gidlow, 1987) a fluid factor stack was generated from the data set. The results from the fluid factor stack indicated an anomaly at the depth and location of the known free phase DNAPL plume. The initial results suggest that under certain conditions, free phase DNAPL can be imaged using high resolution reflection seismic if there is enough free phase product in the ground.

Limited seismic data indicates that structures in prospective Lower Paleozoic formations at the Black Mesa closely follow the basement topography. A combination of residual gravity, aeromagnetic and Landsat data has been effective in mapping the basement surface, tectonic features, and igneous bodies. Gravity and magnetic model studies along profiles crossing both the drilled and the undrilled parts of the basin provided realistic models of structure and tectonics in areas with sparse data. Extrapolation of cross-sections from limited core and log data suggest target environments of deposition, where good structural and stratigraphic traps, including pinchouts, are likely to be present Geophysical and Landsat data indicate the presence of two significant fracture trends in the study area, both of which, are associated with oil accumulations elsewhere in the Colorado Plateau area. Areas with thick sediment accumulations were identified where the potential for hydrocarbon generation is high, based on the prevailing geothermal gradient and source rock characteristics. Basin margin targets with a potential for biohermal reef development were delineated. The target areas await further investigation with high-resolution seismic surveys.

Yucca Mountain, Nevada, located within this flow system, is being evaluated by the US Department of Energy to determine its suitability as a potential site for a high-level nuclear-waste repository. To assist the U.S. Department of Energy with its evaluation of the Yucca Mountain site, the US Geological Survey developed a parameter-estimation model of the Furnace Creek Ranch-Alkali Flat ground-water- flow system. Results from sensitivity analyses made using the parameter-estimation model indicated that simulated rates of evapotranspiration at Franklin Lake playa had the largest effect on the calculation of transmissivity values at Yucca Mountain of all the model-boundary conditions and, therefore, that evapotranspiration required careful definition.

In cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Geological Survey is evaluating the geologic and hydrologic characteristics of the ground-water system. The study area covers approximately 100,000 square kilometers between lat 35(degrees)N., long 115(degrees)W and lat 38(degrees)N., long 118(degrees)W and encompasses the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system. Hydrology in the region is a result of both the and climatic conditions and the complex described as dominated by interbasinal flow and may be conceptualized as having two main components: a series of relatively shallow and localized flow paths that are superimposed on deeper regional flow paths. A significant component of the regional ground-water flow is through a thick Paleozoic carbonate rock sequence. Throughout the regional flow system, ground-water flow is probably controlled by extensive and prevalent structural features that result from regional faulting and fracturing. Hydrogeologic investigations over a large and hydrogeologically complex area impose severe demands on data management. This study utilized geographic information systems and geoscientific information systems to develop, store, manipulate, and analyze regional hydrogeologic data sets describing various components of the ground-water flow system.

The design agencies are responsible for designing safety into the nuclear explosive and processes involving the nuclear explosive. The methodology for ensuring safety consists of independent review processes that include the national laboratories, Operations Offices, Headquarters, and responsible Area Offices and operating contractors with expertise in nuclear explosive safety. A NES Study is an evaluation of the adequacy of positive measures to minimize the possibility of an inadvertent or deliberate unauthorized nuclear detonation, high explosive detonation or deflagration, fire, or fissile material dispersal from the pit. The Nuclear Explosive Safety Study Group (NESSG) evaluates nuclear explosive operations against the Nuclear Explosive Safety Standards specified in DOE O 452.2 using systematic evaluation techniques. These Safety Standards must be satisfied for nuclear explosive operations.

The study evaluates screening-level and detailed public- domain models that were specifically developed for UF(sub 6) and models that were originally developed for the treatment of dense gases but are applicable to UF(sub 6) release, reaction, and dispersion. The model evaluation process is divided into three specific tasks: model-component evaluation; applicability evaluation; and user interface and quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) evaluation. Within the model- component evaluation process, a model's treatments of source term, thermodynamics, and atmospheric dispersion are considered and model predictions are compared with actual observations. Within the applicability evaluation process, a model's applicability to Integrated Safety Analysis, Emergency Response Planning, and Post-Accident Analysis, and to site-specific considerations are assessed. Finally, within the user interface and QA/QC evaluation process, a model's user- friendliness, presence and clarity of documentation, ease of use, etc. are assessed, along with its handling of QA/QC. This document presents the complete methodology used in the evaluation process.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Rethinking regulations for disposal criticality AN - 17574690; 4463914 AB - This paper provides the basis for the position that the current U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) criticality regulation is in need of revision to address problems in implementing it for the postclosure period in a geologic high- level waste repository. The authors believe that the applicant for such a facility should be able to demonstrate that postulated postclosure criticality events will not cause unacceptable risk of deleterious effects on public health and safety. In addition, the applicant should be expected to take practical and feasible measures to reduce the probability of a criticality occurring, even if (as expected) the consequences of such a criticality for repository performance and public health and safety would be negligible. This approach, while recognizing the probabilistic nature of analyses of events and conditions in the distant future, is also arguably consistent with the defense in depth concept that has been successfully applied to nuclear reactor regulation. The authors believe regulations for postclosure criticality control should support this dual approach, rather than require a deterministic prohibition of criticality as does the current rule. The existing rule seems appropriate for the preclosure period, as long as it is clearly specified to apply only to that period.

Currently, the radioactive glass is being produced as a ''sludge- only'' composition by combining washed high-level waste sludge with glass frit. The glass is poured in stainless steel canisters which will eventually be disposed of in a permanent, geological repository. To date, DWPF has produced about 100 canisters of vitrified waste. Future processing operations will, be based on a ''coupled'' feed of washed high-level waste sludge, precipitated cesium, and glass frit. This paper provides an update of the processing activities completed to date, operational/flowsheet problems encountered, and programs underway to increase production rates.

This research was conducted by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL). ORNL investigated potential failure modes and vulnerabilities of microprocessor-based technologies to environmental stressors, including electromagnetic/radio-frequency interference, temperature, humidity, and smoke exposure. An experimental digital safety channel (EDSC) was constructed for the tests. SNL performed smoke exposure tests on digital components and circuit boards to determine failure mechanisms and the effect of different packaging techniques on smoke susceptibility. These studies are expected to provide recommendations for environmental qualification of digital safety systems by addressing the following: (1) adequacy of the present preferred test methods for qualification of digital I and C systems; (2) preferred standards; (3) recommended stressors to be included in the qualification process during type testing; (4) resolution of need for accelerated aging in qualification testing for equipment that is to be located in mild environments; and (5) determination of an appropriate approach to address smoke in a qualification program.

Two of the largest power plants, accounting for 20 percent of the state's CO sub(2) emissions, have adequate reservoir volumes within 50-100 miles to allow CO sub(2) disposal for 30 years or more. However, the majority of these fields are still producing and will not be sufficiently depleted and ready for CO sub(2) injection for 10 years or more. Oil reservoirs are economically preferred to gas reservoirs since operators are willing to buy the CO sub(2) for enhanced oil recovery. For retrofit to existing power plants, estimated costs are $50-$65/ton CO sub(2) for disposal in nearby gas reservoirs and $40-$55/ton CO sub(2) for disposal in oil reservoirs. For advanced technologies in future power plants estimated costs are $15-$25/ton CO sub(2) for disposal in gas reservoirs, and $5-$15/ton CO sub(2) for disposal in oil reservoirs. Avoided costs are approximately 50% higher. Comparative cost differences between power plants using coal or natural gas are discussed. Technical and regulatory factors which may limit the use of some categories of reservoirs as disposal sites are identified. JF - ENERGY CONVERS. MANAGE.

To facilitate decision-making for the disposition of buildings that have potential or actual radiological contamination, the Cleanup Standards Committee developed a process to support building disposition decisions. This process is needed for two reasons: (1) due to changing missions, an increasing number of buildings on federal properties require disposition, and (2) current federal initiatives encourage the transfer of buildings and land for reuse and economic redevelopment. Since the committee developed this process using a teaming effort, the process reflects the experience, expertise, and opinions of committee members and other individuals with a broad range of experience and knowledge. The 'Generic Process for the Disposition of Buildings that have Potential or Actual Radiological Contamination' is intended for use by Federal Facilities responsible for the cleanup of buildings at sites that have radiological process history. This process provides (1) a framework and supporting implementation guidelines for evaluating buildings that have actual or potential radiological contamination, and (2) a process for making building disposition decisions. This paper outlines on the key decision points and the associated data requirements of the process. Specifically, this paper focuses on the following decisions: Which decision-makers are appropriate to involve in the building disposition process; What is the preferred disposition of a building; What criteria are applicable for unconditional release; Is there sufficient existing information to proceed with disposition of a building; What level of survey is appropriate to determine and/or implement a preferred disposition of a building; and How are uncertainties addressed when implementing a building disposition.

The plant currently burns poor quality anthracite (30% ash versus 18% ash design coal, as-received basis) and is in need of maintenance. Oil or gas support fuel in the amount of 30% (calorific basis) is required to stabilize the flame and supplement the calorific value of the coal feed. No NOx or SO2 controls are used at present, and unburned carbon content in the fly ash is high. An experimental program was carried out at the Federal Energy Technology Center (FETC) to estimate the improvement in plant performance that could be expected if the unit is supplied with design coal and is refurbished. High ash Ukrainian anthracite was cleaned to design specifications. Raw and cleaned coal were fed to a 490 MJ/h coal feed combustion unit at a number of conditions of support fuel use and ingress air leakage designed to simulate current and improved operations at the power plant. The results indicate the improvement in performance and reductions in SO2 and NOx emissions that can be expected as a result of the planned upgrade and conversion to use of cleaned coal. A detailed engineering and financial analysis indicates that plant rehabilitation combined with the use of cleaned schtib reduces not only pollutant emissions but also cost of electricity (COE). Additional benefits include increased plant life and capacity, and reduced supplementary fuel consumption. JF - AIR & WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION 90. ANNUAL MEETING.

The coal fired during the testing was a Blacksville 2, medium-sulfur coal, similar to that used by other researchers investigating mercury speciation. A description of the pilot unit operating conditions during the testing is provided. A summary of the gas/solid distribution of trace elements at various locations within the system, material balances, and baghouse removal efficiencies is also supplied. EPA Method 29 was used to determine trace element and speciated mercury concentrations before and after the baghouse. A comparison of these results with past trace element results from this unit and with the findings of other researchers who have used Blacksville coal is also presented. The pilot-scale combustion unit has been characterized in terms of trace element distribution during two tests while burning a medium-sulfur bituminous Blacksville coal. EPA sampling methodology at the inlet to the baghouse and at the stack was used. Results indicate that most of the elements are removed across the baghouse with the exception of mercury and selenium. Both of these elements were found predominantly in the vapor phase. The average mercury speciation revealed that the vapor-phase mercury was primarily in the oxidized form, which is consistent with the findings of other research with Blacksville coal. Material recoveries for most of the elements were very good. The average recovery for mercury further validates that this pilot unit will be a viable system for mercury sampling and control methods.

In this work too, the relationship between the parameters of some houses in Damascus city and radon together with radon daughters concentration were studied. These houses were classified into three types depending mainly on the house design. The radon concentration measurements were carried out in different places inside these houses using solid state nuclear track detectors. In addition a gamma survey meter was used to determine gamma dose rates inside the studied houses and they were compared with radon concentrations. Scintillation technique was used to monitor the variation of radon and radon daughter concentrations during the day inside one type of house. The correlation between radon concentrations and age of houses in Damascus city was also checked in this study.

Introduction of low-cost, effective U.S. pollution abatement and energy efficiency technologies is being completed through the U.S.-Polish Krakow Clean Fossil Fuels and Energy Efficiency Program. Seven U.S. firms are currently participating in the program; five projects are well under way and two are in the design phase. The technologies being applied in Krakow include modern district heating equipment and controls, coal preparation techniques, micronized coal combustion, automatic combustion controls, and high-efficiency particulate control equipment. These technologies will be discussed along with pollutant reduction results obtained to date. Applications of these technologies are providing some efficient and economical answers to Krakow's severe air pollution problems. Certainly, these technologies could be equally effective in many industrial cities throughout the world with similar air pollution concerns. JF - AIR & WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION 90.

Several options exist for the disposition of this RSM, including disposal as radioactive waste, recycling by decontamination and free-release for unrestricted use, or recycling for controlled-release and restricted reuse inside a DOE-controlled area. The Office of Environmental Restoration (EM-40) is leading the effort to develop a consistent policy (Recycle 2000) to support recycling RSM both by decontamination and free release and by recycling for restricted reuse. Studies conducted under the Recycle 2000 program have shown that recycling RSM can be environmentally safe and cost effective on a large scale. Several successful demonstration projects have shown that there are no technological barriers to RSM recycling. The barriers to effective, large-scale radioactive scrap metal (RSM) recycling are primarily economic. JF - AIR & WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION 90. ANNUAL MEETING.

This methodology can be used in performing characterization and release surveys in decontamination and decommissioning of nuclear facilities, particularly where gross radiation measurement techniques using simple survey instruments would not provide adequate sensitivity or nuclide specific information. The techniques include the analysis of spectrum full absorption peaks as well as the continuum associated with scattered photons from the surrounding media. In conjunction with the results of theoretical modeling of source distributions and the resultant photon fluence rates, relevant radiological data on exposure rate, surface activity and concentration can be generated. For situations where there is a likelihood of highly heterogeneous source distributions, a deconvolution technique is described that can be applied to data that is collected on a grid. This technique generates area specific potential source distributions which tend to predict maximum activity levels that could exist given the statistical error associated with the data set. Experimental tests using source simulations and actual data collected indoors, where there is residual radioactivity from nuclear operations, are used to demonstrate the sensitivity of these methods.

To compare the radiation exposure and the performance of different techniques statistically, 3 sites were selected. Five different neutron probe models and different adaptors were used with the depth probes. Exposure to neutrons and gamma radiations, at various distances from the probes, were determined. In situ calibration curves were determined using different models of depth probes with a Solo surface reflector block, CPN surface adaptor, and different numbers of plastic Teflon parallelepiped, as well as surface Troxler 3401-B probes. Depth neutron probe readings increased with increasing number of Teflon plastic blocks deposited on the soil surface. The intercept of the straight line regression analysis of CR (count ratio, surface count over standard count) v. percentage water content on a volume basis decreased with increasing number of blocks deposited on the soil surface at all sites. The determination coefficient values of any depth probe with a Solo surface reflector or a block of 4.8 cm thickness were higher than those of a Troxler 3401-B surface probe or CPN 503 depth probe with its surface adaptor. The least exposure to radiation was with a depth probe with surface reflectors. This study proves the possibility of measuring the moisture content of the soil surface by using a depth neutron probe with a block laid on the surface, without danger of receiving the threshold dose of radiation.

The fist three solicitations of the CCT Program were aimed primarily at mitigating the potential impacts of acid rain. Subsequently, the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 established emission reduction targets for SO2 and NOx, which influenced the goals of the last two CCT Program. This paper provides an overview of the CCT Program and reports the significant results, with emphasis on emissions reduction as well as their impact on ozone formation.

To support this, the staff is currently preparing guidance, in the form of Regulatory Guides and Standard Review Plans, for the use of PRAs in regulatory decision making. There will be application specific Reg Guides and SRPs, for Inservice Testing (IST), Inservice Inspection (ISI), and Technical Specifications, a specific Reg Guide for Graded Quality Assurance, as well as a general Reg Guide and SRP to address these and all other applications. It is expected that, for any submittal that is in accordance with these documents, the PRA will be of sufficient quality to support the conclusions being drawn with respect to the impact of the proposed change on risk to the health and safety of the public. This paper discusses the NRC's perspective on what constitutes the required quality of a PRA for use in regulatory activities.

The pumping of water and sewage consumes about 2.5 per cent of the entire U.S. electricity generation. Utility operators are advised to consider their whole distribution system's potential energy needs, in such areas as minimizing pipe roughness, simplifying pipe layer, selecting pumps which are at the most appropriate point of their efficiency curve for the pumping head required, not over-sizing pumps, not selecting a pressure in excess of requirements, introducing variable speed drives and installing effective instrumentation and control equipment to pinpoint problem areas.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-12 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROGRAMMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE URANIUM MILL TAILINGS REMEDIAL ACTION GROUND WATER PROJECT; ARIZONA, COLORADO, IDAHO, NEW MEXICO, NORTH DAKOTA, OREGON, PENNSYLVANIA, TEXAS, UTAH, AND WYOMING. AN - 36400634; 6198 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a groundwater remediation project for 24 sites affected by uranium processing activities for varying lengths of time from the 1940s to the 1970s is proposed. At many of these sites, no effort was made to prevent the spread of mill tailings by wind and water erosion after processing activities ceased; as a result, uranium mill tailings were spread beyond the boundaries of the mill site. Except for one site in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, all sites are located in western states. Lands contaminated with uranium range from 21 acres at the Spook, Wyoming, site to 612 acres at Ambrosia, New Mexico. A total of 3,900 acres and 39 million cubic yards of material were contaminated at the 24 sites. The Department of Energy estimates that 4.7 billion gallons of groundwater were contaminated at these sites. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 2), are considered in this programmatic final EIS. The proposed action (Alternative 1, the preferred alternative) would use ground water compliance strategies tailored for each site in order to achieve conditions that are protective of human health and the environment. It would consider ground water compliance decisions in a step-by-step approach, beginning with the consideration of a no remediation strategy and proceeding, if necessary, to the passive strategy, such as natural flushing with compliance monitoring and institutional controls, and to a more complex, active ground water cleanup method, such as pump and treat or other engineered approaches to cleaning up contaminated ground water. If groundwater contamination at a particular site did not exceed background levels or maximum concentration limits, no remediation would be required. When exceedances do occur, the next step would be to determine whether compliance with the EPA standards could be achieved by applying supplemental standards based on the existence of limited use groundwater. If these standards were not protective, alternate concentration limits would be applied. Groundwater monitoring and institutional controls would be applied if alternate concentration limits were not adequate. Additional steps would involve natural flushing, gradient manipulation, geochemical barriers, and other types of active remediation methods. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Remediation efforts would be implemented where necessary in order to protect human health and prevent radioactive substances from entering the food chain or affecting sensitive habitats or wildlife. Implementation under the proposed action would be more cost effective than under a more aggressive plan that would restore all sites regardless of the level of contamination. It would allow for the consideration of new ground water cleanup methods that became available. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land and water use would be restricted on sites eligible for natural flushing or active remediation. This land would not be available for other uses while the remediation efforts are in progress; in some cases, remediation efforts could last for 100 years.

AN - 78687336; 9031592 AB - Nucleolar organizer regions stained with colloidal silver techniques (AgNOR) evidence sites of active rRNA transcription. It has been proved that AgNOR undergo a rise in number and variations in size and shape in conditions which traditionally involve enhanced cell proliferation and rRNA transcription. AgNOR have been described as a marker of malignant transformation in multiple entities. Our laboratory has previously described their value as markers of radioinduced damage. The finding, at light microscopy level, that silver staining persisted at later post-irradiation times when cells are characteristically inactive, prompted the present study to correlate findings at light microscopy level with the ultrastructural analysis of nucleoli and their AgNOR in a model of irradiated skin. We herein attempt to explain the biological significance of AgNOR variations in the different phases of radioinduced response (which involves cellular hyperactivity followed by regressive features). Ten Wistar rats were submitted to local irradiation of the left leg (the shielded right leg was used as control) with 50 Gy x rays and killed 15 days post- irradiation. Silver staining was performed on ultrathin sections. In the basal layer of control epithelium silver affinity was established for fibrillar centers (FC) and fibrillar dense components (DFC). During the phase of radioinduced hyperplasia (1-3 days post-exposure) basal cells exhibit large reticular nucleoli, with irregular contours and silver staining on DFC. In the regressive phase (4-5 days post-irradiation) silver staining persists despite the halt in transcriptional activity, associated to homogeneous and compact nucleoli. These findings suggest caution in the interpretation of silver staining patterns.

When electrostatic interactions are favorable, for example when the colloid and groundwater media have opposite charge, colloids may be expected to travel only a few centimeters in saturated porous media. Repulsive electrostatic interactions between colloids and aquifer media with the same charge sign are postulated to significantly mobilize particles. As it happens, however, theories describing particle filtration from first principles, i.e., DLVO (Derjagin and Landau, Verwey and Overbeek) theory, dramatically underestimate filtration rates when colloid-collector interactions are electrostatically repulsive. One of the primary objectives of the project was to experimentally investigate potential reasons for the historical lack of agreement between particle filtration models based on DLVO theory and observed particle deposition rates. An important hypothesis of the study was to test the validity of the assumption of surface homogeneity, as required by these models. The approach was to focus on collector surfaces that were commonly used as model systems, e.g., glass beads and quartz sand. Laboratory-scale column filtration experiments were conducted with colloidal polystyrene latex spheres. Collector surface preparation and cleaning approaches were examined, as well as the effects of solution chemistry.

Specific objectives of the study are: (1) to determine if there are any correlations or spatial relationships between (super 222) Rn and the geological, geochemical and hydrogeological data; and (2) to determine whether it is geochemically reasonable for observed (super 222) Rn levels to be the result of U and (super 226) Ra accumulation by fracture filling minerals. Domestic-water wells were sampled and tested to determine the local aquifer characteristics and aqueous geochemistry. A multivariate and staged approach was used in the data analyses. Analysis of variance tests were used to test for relationships between (super 222) Rn and the lithology of the study wells. The effects of rock-type were then removed from the chemical and hydrological variables by subtracting the mean value for each rock-type from each of the measured values within that rock-type (a residual transformation). Linear and linear multiple regression techniques were used to test for expected relationships between residual (super 222) Rn levels and these variables, and stepwise linear regressions were used to test for any unforeseen multivariate relationships in the data. Correlograms, distance-weighted average and inverse-distance-weighted average predictions were used to look for spatial relationships in the data.

Considerations include mode of cladding failure, oxidation, hydriding, and pulse-width effects. From the data trend and from these considerations, we conclude that the cladding failure threshold for fuel rods with moderate-to-high burnup is roughly 100-cal/g fuel peak fuel-rod enthalpy for boiling-water reactors and pressurized-water reactors. Realistic plant calculations suggest that cladding failure would not occur for rod-ejection or rod-drop accidents and therefore that pellet fragmentation and enhanced fission-product release from fuel pellets should not have to be considered in the safety analysis for these reactivity accidents. The data base, however, is sparse and contains much uncertainty.

AN - 78477268; 8887518 AB - 210Pb has been measured in indoor air by two methods. Low flow rate pumps and membrane filters were used to collect the samples. The air filter samples were stored for 1.7 y, after which total alpha activity was determined by scintillation counting. 210Pb was then chemically separated and measured by alpha spectrometry. The efficacy of determination of 210Pb by total alpha measurement was empirically proven. The average air concentration determined by total alpha counting was 340 microBq 210Pb m-3 and 360 microBq 210Pb m-3 by radiochemical analysis.

It is abundantly clear that significant technology advances are needed to characterize, process, and store highly radioactive waste and to remediate contaminated zones. In addition to the processing and waste form issues, analytical technologies needed for the characterization of solids, and for monitoring storage tanks and contaminated sites do not exist or are currently expensive labor-intensive tasks.

The STOMP simulator's fundamental purpose is to produce numerical predictions of thermal and hydrologic flow and transport phenomena in variably saturated subsurface environments, which are contaminated with volatile or nonvolatile organic compounds. Auxiliary applications include numerical predictions of solute transport processes including radioactive chain decay processes. In writing these guides for the STOMP simulator, the authors have assumed that the reader comprehends concepts and theories associated with multiple-phase hydrology, heat transfer, thermodynamics, radioactive chain decay, and nonhysteretic relative permeability, saturation-capillary pressure constitutive functions. The authors further assume that the reader is familiar with the computing environment on which they plan to compile and execute the STOMP simulator.

In total, thirty-four government, private and academic facilities participated in the exercise with over 170 passive and electronic devices exposed in the EML test chamber. During the first week of the exercise, passive and continuous measuring devices were exposed (usually in quadruplicate) to about 1280 Bq m super(-3) super(222)Rn for 1-7 days. Radon progeny measurements were made during the second week of the exercise. The results indicate that all of the tested devices that measure radon gas performed well and fulfill their intended purpose. The grand mean (GM) ratio of the participants' reported values to the EML values, for all four radon device categories, was 0.99 plus or minus 0.08. Eighty-five percent of all the radon measuring devices that were exposed in the EML radon test chamber were within plus or minus 1 standard deviation (SD) of the EML reference values. For the most part, radon progeny measurements were also quite good as compared to the EML values. The GM ratio for the 10 continuous PAEC instruments was 0.90 plus or minus 0.12 with 75% of the devices within 1 SD of the EML reference values. Most of the continuous and integrating electronic instruments used for measuring the PAEC underestimated the EML values by about 10-15% probably because the concentration of particles onto which the radon progeny were attached was low (1200 - 3800 particles cm super(-3)). The equilibrium factor at that particle concentration level was 0.10-0.22.

The injuries ranged in severity from erythema to moist desquamation to tissue necrosis that required skin grafting. They occurred after a variety of interventional procedures that required extended periods of fluoroscopy compared with those of typical diagnostic procedures. Medical facilities and physicians should be aware of the magnitude of radiation doses to the skin that can result from the long exposure times required by complex interventional procedures. The FDA recommends several steps for reducing these injuries, including establishing protocols for each procedure, determining radiation dose rates for specific fluoroscopy systems and operating modes, and monitoring cumulative absorbed doses to areas of the skin.

AN - 78379679; 8837627 AB - The connection between energy policy and increased levels of respiratory and cardiopulmonary disease has become clearer in the past few years. People living in cities with high levels of pollution have a higher risk of mortality than those living in less polluted cities. The pollutants most directly linked to increased morbidity and mortality include ozone, particulates, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, volatile organic compounds, and oxides of nitrogen. Energy-related emissions generate the vast majority of these polluting chemicals. Technologies to prevent pollution in the transportation, manufacturing, building, and utility sectors can significantly reduce these emissions while reducing the energy bills of consumers and businesses. In short, clean energy technologies represent a very cost-effective investment in public health. Some 72% of the Federal government's investment in the research, development, and demonstration of pollution prevention technologies is made by the Department of Energy, with the largest share provided by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. This article will examine the connections between air pollution and health problems and will discuss what the Department of Energy is doing to prevent air pollution now and in the future.

A knowledge of these structures is required in environmental and geotechnical studies related to characterization, remediation and risk assessment programs. These features may act as preferential pathways for groundwater flow or as direct conduits to the water table. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) may be used to map these structures in favorable sediments. Three principal shallow subsurface features are readily detectable using GPR; paleochannels, joints or fractures, and faults. The detection of paleochannels is dependent on the scale of the GPR survey and the attitude of the channel within the survey area. Channel morphological features such as scour surfaces, point bars and thalwegs are observable. Joints and fractures are more difficult to detect depending upon size, patterns, orientation and fill material. Vertical joints may not be visible to radar unless they are wider than the sampling interval or are filled with radar opaque materials such as limonite. Angled joints or fractures may be distinguished by an apparent continuous reflector on the radar profile. Faulting on radar profiles may be observed by the offset of reflectors, the image of the fault plane or the coherent interpretation of a fault system.

The inventories consist of waste from four groups: (1) Tank waste; (2) Cesium (Cs) and Strontium (Sr) capsules; (3) Inactive miscellaneous underground storage tanks (MUSTs); and (4) Anticipated future tank waste additions. The major component by volume of the overall waste is the tank waste inventory (including future tank waste additions). This component accounts for more than 99 percent of the total waste volume and approximately 70 percent of the radiological activity of the four waste groups identified previously. Tank waste data are available on a tank-by-tank basis, but the accuracy of these data is suspect because they primarily are based on historical records of transfers between tanks rather than statistically based sampling and analyses programs. The more accurate tank waste inventory data are provided as the estimated overall chemical masses and radioactivity levels for the single-shell tanks (SSTs) and double-shell tanks (DSTs). The tank waste inventory data are broken down into tank groupings or source areas that were developed for analyzing groundwater impacts. JF - DOE/EIS (U. S. Department of Energy.

The Well Intercept Factor (WIF) or dilution factor from a given areal flux entering the aquifer released from the LLTWD site are calculated for base case and various sensitivity cases. In conjunction with the calculation for released fluxes through vadose zone transport,the dose at the compliance point can be obtained by a simple multiplication. The relative dose contribution from the upstream sources was also calculated and presented in the appendix for an equal areal flux at the LLTWD site. The results provide input for management decisions on remediation action needed for reduction of the released fluxes from the upstream facilities to the allowed level to meet the required dose criteria.

In the analysis, scenarios of radionuclide release from the 200 East Area Low-Level waste facility was evaluated. The analysis focused on two primary scenarios leading to exposure. The first was inadvertent intrusion. In this scenario, it was assumed that institutional control of the site and knowledge of the disposal facility has been lost. Waste is subsequently exhumed and dose from exposure is received. The second scenario was groundwater contamination. In this scenario, radionuclides are leached from the waste by infiltrating precipitation and transported through the soil column to the underlying unconfined aquifer. The contaminated water is pumped from a well 100 m downstream and consumed,causing dose. Estimates of potential contamination of the surrounding environment were developed and the associated doses to the maximum exposed individual were calculated. The doses were compared with performance objective dose limits, found primarily in the DOE order 5850.2A. In the 200 East Area LLBG,it was shown that projected doses are estimated to be well below the limits because of the combination of environmental, waste inventory, and disposal facility characteristics of the 200 East Area LLBG. Waste acceptance criteria were also derived to ensure that disposal of future waste inventories in the 200 East Area LLBG will not cause an unacceptable increase in estimated dose.

The objectives of this study were: to evaluate and optimize the vial equilibration technique, originally described by Sato and Nakajima (1979a), in order to characterize the hepatic metabolism of DCM by Sprague--Dawley rats; to employ different hepatic microsomal preparations to examine buffer effects on DCM metabolism; and to assess the relative importance and metabolic constants of the mixed-function oxidase (MFO) and glutathione (GSH) S-transferase (GST) metabolic pathways. A crude liver homogenate (20% w/v) was prepared from perfused livers of male Sprague--Dawley (S--D) rats (275-325 g). A 30% glycerol buffer was found to significantly inhibit DCM metabolism, while 0.25 M sucrose buffer containing 10 mM EDTA and 1.15% KCl did not. DCM was incubated with the liver 10,000g supernatant or microsomes and cofactors in sealed headspace vials. Disappearance of DCM, as a measure of the chemical's metabolism, was monitored by headspace gas chromatography. Different trials were conducted to elucidate time--, enzyme--, and substrate--activity relationships. The scaled-up K sub(m) and V sub(max) values for the microsomal fraction were quite similar to optimized in vivo values reported by other investigators. In the current study, DCM appeared to be metabolized preferentially by cytochrome P450 IIE1, since substrates (e.g., pyrazole, ethanol, and glycerol) for this isozyme completely inhibited DCM metabolism. Thus, glycerol should not be used as a P450 stabilizer for preparation or storage of microsomes. Phorone pretreatment caused marked hepatic GSH depletion, but had little effect on the overall rate of DCM metabolism. Quantitatively, the GST pathway in the cytosol played a very minor role in DCM metabolism. It was not possible to accurately calculate metabolic constants for this pathway in S--D rats. The vial equilibration technique, as described here, is a relatively simple and reliable method, which should be broadly applicable for measuring the microsomal metabolism of DCM and other VOCs.

The TFA is responsible for the development, testing, evaluation, and deployment of remediation technologies within a system architecture to characterize, retrieve, treat, concentrate, and dispose of radioactive waste stored in the underground storage tanks at Department of Energy (DOE) facilities and ultimately stabilize and close the tanks. The goal is to provide safe and cost-effective solutions that are acceptable to both the public and regulators. The TFA has focused its technology development in areas where currently available technology does not meet technical and safety requirements for tank waste remediation and where significant reduction in life-cycle cost can be achieved. Most of the participant sites share four problem functional areas comprising the elements of the TFA technical program. These functional areas are: Characterization and Safety; Retrieval and Tank Closure; Pretreatment; Waste Immobilization and Disposal. This document presents technology summaries in these four functional areas. JF - DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, OAK RIDGE, TN 37831 (USA). Aug 1996.
