T2 - REMEDIATON OF THE MOAB URANIUM MILL TAILINGS, GRAND AND SAN JUAN COUNTIES, UTAH.
AN - 36380305; 050490F-050313_0060
AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative. LEGAL MANDATES: Floyd D, Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (P.L. 106-398) and Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 (42 U.S.C. 7901 et seq.)

Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36379372; 050490F-050313_0040
AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals.

AN - 36378656; 050490F-050313_0050
AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative. LEGAL MANDATES: Floyd D, Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (P.L. 106-398) and Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 (42 U.S.C. 7901 et seq.)

In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation.

AN - 36374568; 050490F-050313_0042
AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36373480; 050490F-050313_0025
AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative. LEGAL MANDATES: Floyd D, Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (P.L. 106-398) and Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 (42 U.S.C. 7901 et seq.)

The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat.

AN - 36366714; 050490F-050313_0014
AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative. LEGAL MANDATES: Floyd D, Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (P.L. 106-398) and Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 (42 U.S.C. 7901 et seq.)

T2 - REMEDIATON OF THE MOAB URANIUM MILL TAILINGS, GRAND AND SAN JUAN COUNTIES, UTAH.
AN - 36366084; 050490F-050313_0083
AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative. LEGAL MANDATES: Floyd D, Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (P.L. 106-398) and Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 (42 U.S.C. 7901 et seq.)

Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36364746; 050490F-050313_0094
AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals.

T2 - REMEDIATON OF THE MOAB URANIUM MILL TAILINGS, GRAND AND SAN JUAN COUNTIES, UTAH.
AN - 36361745; 050490F-050313_0037
AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

T1 - Genomic sequencing of Pleistocene cave bears
AN - 51679097; 2005-062937
AB - Despite the greater information content of genomic DNA, ancient DNA studies have largely been limited to the amplification of mitochondrial sequences. Here we describe metagenomic libraries constructed with unamplified DNA extracted from skeletal remains of two 40,000-year-old extinct cave bears. Analysis of approximately 1 megabase of sequence from each library showed that despite significant microbial contamination, 5.8 and 1.1% of clones contained cave bear inserts, yielding 26,861 base pairs of cave bear genome sequence. Comparison of cave bear and modern bear sequences revealed the evolutionary relationship of these lineages. The metagenomic approach used here establishes the feasibility of ancient DNA genome sequencing programs.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 (TWENTY-FIRST FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 1 of 1]
T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 (TWENTY-FIRST FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36374783; 050478F-050270_0001
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Browns Ferry Nuclear (BFN) Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 in rural Alabama is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 21st supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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 Tennessee Valley Authority, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 three units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed units 1, 2, and 3 would be shutdown on or before expiration of the current licenses, the dates of which are December 20, 2013, June 28, 2014, and July 2, 2016 and, respectively. The 840-acre power station site is located on federally owned land abutting the Wheeler Reservoir, 30 miles west of Huntsville, Alabama, characterized by agricultural land uses and recreational uses, including fishing and recreational boaters. Each unit employs a boiling water reactor and a steam-driven turbine generator manufactured by General Electric Corporation. Each unit was licensed for an output of 3,293 megawatts-thermal (MW(t)). Commercial operation for units, 1, 2, and 3, began in 1974, 1975, and 1977 respectively. Unit 1 is inactive; work began in 2002 to bring Unit 1 up to current standards, and operation of the reactor is currently scheduled to resume 2007. All three units were shutdown in 1985 during a review of the TVA nuclear power program. Unit 2 returned to service in 1991, and Unit 3 resumed operation in November 1995. The BNF Plant completed an integrated plant improvement project for units 2 and 3; among improvement made were a five percent uprate in the original licensed thermal power for both units from 3,293to 3,458 MW(t). In June 2004, TVA submitted applications for extended power upates to 120 percent of the original licensed thermal power at each of the three BNF Plant units. These applications, if approved by the staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would take effect during the existing license terms, so the impacts of this uprate are considered in this supplemental EIS. All units feature two-loop, closed-cycle, pressurized-water reactors, licensed for a calculated electrical output of approximately 1,065 megawatts-electric (MW(e)). The units employ reactor coolant recalculating loops to the and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel; the cooling system withdraws water from the Wheeler Reservoir and discharges heated water back to the reservoir. The reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Seven 500-kilovolt (kV) connect the 500-kV BNF Plant switchyard to the transmission lines; one line transmits power to the Trinity substation, one line each to the West Point, Maury, and Union (Mississippi) substations, and one line to the Livestone substation. In addition, two 161-kV lines, one connecting the Athens substation and the other to the Trinity substation. All lines use a portion of four transmission line rights-of-way, one to the Maury substation, one to the Trinity substation, one to the Athens substation, and one to the Union substation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. 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: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Wheeler Reservoir and deliver makeup water back to the Sound. Release of water to the Sound from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the Sound. 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 radionuclide 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. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace other land uses for public use. Refusal to renew the license and the subsequent decommissioning of the units could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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).

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 (TWENTY-FIRST FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 16343560; 11594
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Browns Ferry Nuclear (BFN) Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 in rural Alabama is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 21st supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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 Tennessee Valley Authority, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 three units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed units 1, 2, and 3 would be shutdown on or before expiration of the current licenses, the dates of which are December 20, 2013, June 28, 2014, and July 2, 2016 and, respectively. The 840-acre power station site is located on federally owned land abutting the Wheeler Reservoir, 30 miles west of Huntsville, Alabama, characterized by agricultural land uses and recreational uses, including fishing and recreational boaters. Each unit employs a boiling water reactor and a steam-driven turbine generator manufactured by General Electric Corporation. Each unit was licensed for an output of 3,293 megawatts-thermal (MW(t)). Commercial operation for units, 1, 2, and 3, began in 1974, 1975, and 1977 respectively. Unit 1 is inactive; work began in 2002 to bring Unit 1 up to current standards, and operation of the reactor is currently scheduled to resume 2007. All three units were shutdown in 1985 during a review of the TVA nuclear power program. Unit 2 returned to service in 1991, and Unit 3 resumed operation in November 1995. The BNF Plant completed an integrated plant improvement project for units 2 and 3; among improvement made were a five percent uprate in the original licensed thermal power for both units from 3,293to 3,458 MW(t). In June 2004, TVA submitted applications for extended power upates to 120 percent of the original licensed thermal power at each of the three BNF Plant units. These applications, if approved by the staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would take effect during the existing license terms, so the impacts of this uprate are considered in this supplemental EIS. All units feature two-loop, closed-cycle, pressurized-water reactors, licensed for a calculated electrical output of approximately 1,065 megawatts-electric (MW(e)). The units employ reactor coolant recalculating loops to the and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel; the cooling system withdraws water from the Wheeler Reservoir and discharges heated water back to the reservoir. The reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Seven 500-kilovolt (kV) connect the 500-kV BNF Plant switchyard to the transmission lines; one line transmits power to the Trinity substation, one line each to the West Point, Maury, and Union (Mississippi) substations, and one line to the Livestone substation. In addition, two 161-kV lines, one connecting the Athens substation and the other to the Trinity substation. All lines use a portion of four transmission line rights-of-way, one to the Maury substation, one to the Trinity substation, one to the Athens substation, and one to the Union substation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. 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: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Wheeler Reservoir and deliver makeup water back to the Sound. Release of water to the Sound from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the Sound. 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 radionuclide 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. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace other land uses for public use. Refusal to renew the license and the subsequent decommissioning of the units could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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).

T1 - Light water reactor health physics.
AN - 67823689; 15891460
AB - In this article an overview of the historical development of light water reactor health physics programs is presented. Operational health physics programs have developed and matured as experience in operating and maintaining light water reactors has been gained. Initial programs grew quickly in both size and complexity with the number and size of nuclear units under construction and in operation. Operational health physics programs evolved to face various challenges confronted by the nuclear industry, increasing the effectiveness of radiological safety measures. Industry improvements in radiological safety performance have resulted in significant decreases in annual collective exposures from a high value of 790 person-rem in 1980 to 117 person-rem per reactor in 2002. Though significant gains have been made, the continued viability of the nuclear power industry is confronted with an aging workforce, as well as the challenges posed by deregulation and the need to maintain operational excellence.

T1 - The historical earthquakes of Syria; an analysis of large and moderate earthquakes from 1365 B.C. to 1900 A.D.
AN - 51585284; 2006-039268
AB - The historical sources of large and moderate earthquakes, earthquake catalogues and monographs exist in many depositories in Syria and European centers. They have been studied, and the detailed review and analysis resulted in a catalogue with 181 historical earthquakes from 1365 B.C. to 1900 A.D. Numerous original documents in Arabic, Latin, Byzantine and Assyrian allowed us to identify seismic events not mentioned in previous works. In particular, detailed descriptions of damage in Arabic sources provided quantitative information necessary to re-evaluate past seismic events. These large earthquakes (I (sub 0) > or =VIII) caused considerable damage in cities, towns and villages located along the northern section of the Dead Sea fault system. Fewer large events also occurred along the Palmyra, Ar-Rassafeh and the Euphrates faults in Eastern Syria. Descriptions in original sources document foreshocks, aftershocks, fault ruptures, liquefaction, landslides, tsunamis, fires and other damages. We present here an updated historical catalogue of 181 historical earthquakes distributed in 4 categories regarding the originality and other considerations, we also present a table of the parametric catalogue of 36 historical earthquakes (table I) and a table of the complete list of all historical earthquakes (181 events) with the affected locality names and parameters of information quality and completeness (table II) using methods already applied in other regions (Italy, England, Iran, Russia) with a completeness test using EMS-92. This test suggests that the catalogue is relatively complete for magnitudes >6.5. This catalogue may contribute to a comprehensive and unified parametric earthquake catalogue and to a realistic assessment of seismic hazards in Syria and surrounding regions.

T1 - Thermohydraulic design and safety analysis of research reactors
AN - 19297897; 7041663
AB - The paper presents briefly the trend of thermal-hydraulic design and a safety analysis of medium and high flux research reactors. This field of deterministic safety analysis is being considered by the IAEA in the framework of a coordinated research project (CRP) initiated in 2002 on the Assessment of Analytical Tools for Different Research Reactor Types. The objective of this project is to establish a forum of international experts in order to integrate the activities for improvement and verification of selected computer codes that can be considered as reference tools in the safety analysis of research reactors, similar to that of power reactors. This undertaking supports the international ambition of improving the safety features and standards of research reactors, which can be useful for countries with long experience with research reactors, and very helpful for countries that have research reactors with low neutron flux and which may be looking to extend them or build other reactors with higher neutron flux. In this regard, the methodological approach on modification, verification and application of advanced computer codes for the safety analysis of research reactors is presented. Furthermore, a semi-empirical correlation for the first design limit regarding the onset of flow instability, for medium and high flux reactors, has been suggested.

T1 - Reactor protection systems: Diverse approaches
AN - 19297193; 7041662
AB - Defence in depth design criteria applied to nuclear instrumentation, in particular, to reactor protection systems (RPS), include redundancy, diversity and fail-safe behaviour. Typically, two out of three ('2003'), majority-voting systems meet redundancy criteria. A careful analysis of signal levels and polarity and the use of several techniques, such as lives zeros, bias toward safe state, etc. guarantee the same degree of fail-safe behaviour. Diversity criteria, in general, are met by the whole system using more than one method to protect the integrity of reactor (i.e. rod drop plus boron injection), but not for the single instrumentation chain. Moreover, the increasing information needs of supervision systems encourage the use of digital instrumentation in RPS; if the digital instrumentation has software based implementation, the diversity requirement will be mandatory for the instrumentation of each system. In the paper, three possible configurations of the first protection system (rod drop) are analysed. The first one is the traditional hardware approach, the second one is a software based system, and the last one is a proposed mix system. For all configurations, a redundant system two out of four ('2004') is assumed. Availability and reliability points of view are taken into account. The proposed mix system is explained in full detail. A discussion about programmable logic and its considerations are introduced. A CPLD based system in a research reactor (RA1) and its functionality are explained.

T1 - Four Laboratory-Associated Cases of Infection with Escherichia coli O157:H7
AN - 17638697; 6427578
AB - An investigation of four cases of infection with Escherichia coli O157:H7 among laboratorians from different clinical laboratories revealed that the DNA fingerprint pattern of each case isolate was indistinguishable from that of an isolate handled in the laboratory prior to illness. These data suggest that the infections were laboratory acquired, and they demonstrate the importance of laboratorians strictly adhering to biosafety practices recommended for the handling of infectious materials.

T1 - The Specter of Fuel-Based Lighting
AN - 17341358; 6236387
AB - Contemporary questions about sustainable energy and development converge in unexpected ways around a technology that is at once an echo of the past and yet very much a part of the present: fuel-based lighting in the developing world. An emerging opportunity for reducing the global costs and greenhouse gas emissions associated with this highly inefficient form of lighting energy use is to replace fuel-based lamps with white solid-state ("LED") lighting, described in this Policy Forum, which can be affordably solar-powered. Doing so would allow those without access to electricity in the developing world to affordably leapfrog over the prevailing incandescent and fluorescent lighting technologies in use today throughout the electrified world.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLAND, UNITS NO. 1 AND 2, BERRIEN COUNTY, MICHIGAN (TWENTIETH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 1 of 1]
T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLAND, UNITS NO. 1 AND 2, BERRIEN COUNTY, MICHIGAN (TWENTIETH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36367783; 050467F-050185_0001
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, located on the shore of Lake Michigan in Berrien County, Michigan is proposed to extend the licensed lives of the units for an additional 20 years in this 20th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, Indiana Michigan Power Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 licenses are not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current licenses, which will occur on October 25, 2004 for Unit 1 and December 23, 2017 for Unit 2. The power station, which is located within in a 650-acre site on the shores of Lake Michigan, consists of two units, each of which is equipped with a four-loop pressurized water reactor designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a once-through cooling system withdrawing and discharging water to the Monticello Reservoir, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. Units 1 and 2 are rated at 3,304 megawatts (MW)-thermal and 3,468 MW-thermal, with corresponding electrical outputs of approximately 1,044 MW-electric and 1,117 MW-electric, respectively. Units 1 and 2 reactors were placed into service in August 1975 and July 1978, respectively, are housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Six 345-kilovolt and one 745-kilovolt transmission lines connect the units to the regional transmission grid; the lines extend an overall length of 227 miles. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Lake Michigan and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from 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. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

AB - Gas-phase infrared spectra of polyphosphazenes (phosphonitrilic halides trimer), (NPX2)3 where X=F, Cl and Br have been recorded. The molecules were generated for the first time by an on-line process using solid (NPCl2)3 as a precursor passed over heated sodium fluoride and potassium bromide at about 550 and 700 degrees C for (NPF2)3 and (NPBr2)3 production, respectively. The products were characterized by the infrared spectra of their vapors. The low-resolution gas-phase Fourier transform infrared spectra reported for the first time show strong bands centered at 1295, 1215 and 1200 cm-1, assigned to nu7(E'), in plane PN stretching mode of (NPX2)3, where X=F, Cl and Br, respectively.

T1 - Western Colorado's uranium legacy
AN - 51650477; 2006-004198
AB - Since early in the 20th century the uranium-vanadium deposits in the Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation have been exploited for radium, vanadium and uranium. From 1913 to 1922 the oxidized deposit were the world's leading source of radium salts. In the mid 1930s, vanadium became important as it was used as a steel alloy for war armor. Mills were built in southwestern CO and southeastern UT to process the ore. Between 1943 and 1945 the Manhattan Engineer District (MED) secretly recovered uranium from vanadium mill tailings. The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) took over the functions of the MED in 1947. The price schedules, bonuses and other incentives of the AEC created a huge boom throughout the western U.S. In CO and UT many deep,unoxidized deposits in the Salt Wash Member were discovered and mined. Old vanadium mills were converted to recover uranium and several new mills were built. After the AEC program ended in 1970, all uranium produced was for the nuclear power industry. A second boom in the late 1970s was shortlived, and today, millsites and mines are being reclaimed. Beginning in 2003, a few mines were being reopened due higher uranium prices.

T1 - Simulation of CO (sub 2) sequestration in coal beds; the effects of sorption isotherms
AN - 51613724; 2006-024714
AB - For over 30 years, horizontal wells have been drilled into coal seams to release trapped methane and improve mine safety. For more than two decades, significant quantities of gas sorbed in coal seams have been collected as a relatively environmentally friendly fossil fuel energy resource. Laboratory experiments have shown that coals preferentially sorb carbon dioxide. Thus, concomitant enhanced coal bed methane production and carbon dioxide sequestration in unminable coal seams is a promising technology being developed as a win-win process to reduce global warming and produce a valuable energy resource. However, because CO (sub 2) will not reach all portions of the seam, not all of the in situ methane will be produced and not all of the "theoretical" sequestration capacity will be utilized. For sequestration, the amount of carbon dioxide that could be stored in the coal seam was found to be between 50% and 70% of the thermodynamic limit. The fraction of methane produced was much higher, between 80% and 97%. Reservoir simulations were used to predict how the well pattern and operating conditions can be modified to maximize the amounts of CO (sub 2) stored and CH (sub 4) recovered. For this study, we used the PSU-COALCOMP compositional coal bed methane reservoir simulator and measured sorption isotherms to predict the maximum amount of carbon dioxide that could be sequestered in a coal seam and show how coal seam characteristics and injection practices will reduce the actual amount sequestered.

T1 - A hydrochemical and isotopic study of submarine fresh water along the coast in Lebanon
AN - 51316246; 2008-003990
AB - The karstic aquifer system and the submarine springs on the Lebanese coast have been studied using chemical and isotopic methods to determine the sources for coastal and submarine springs. Chemical analysis shows that most submarine springs are derived from a Cenomanian-Turonian aquifer with a large influence of the bedrock type including calcite and dolomite. Different physical and chemical characteristics are obtained for some submarine samples located on the southern coast that show high sulfate content. Isotopic data for delta (super 18) O/delta (super 12) H shows that coastal freshwaters are closer to the Mediterranean Meteoric Water Line than the submarine springs. Submarine samples located in the south were located below the Global Meteoric Water Line, indicating differences from the coastal freshwater sources. The calculated percentage of freshwater in the submarine samples ranges from 10 to 96%, with the highest percentage for a spring in the Chekka region. Tritium values of submarine samples (ranging from 0.75 to 3.77 TU) are found to be comparable to the coastal freshwater samples (0.69 to 4.83 TU). Spring waters are divided into two distinct sources: young meteoric water supplies coastal freshwater and the submarine sample in the Chekka region, and older water supplies the submarine springs.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: JOSEPH M. FARLEY, UNITS 1 AND 2, HOUSTON COUNTY, ALABAMA. (EIGHTEENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36438564; 11455
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, In Houston County, Alabama is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 18th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration dates of the current licenses, which are June 25, 2017 for Unit 1 and March 31, 2021 for Unit 2. The power station is located within in a 500-acre site in miles on the west bank of the Chattahoochee River in southeastern Alabama, five miles north of Gordon, 17 miles east of Dothan, and 100 miles southeast of Montgomery consists of two units equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a closed-loop cooling system that withdrawals from to the Chattachoche River; a small portion of the process water may be discharged to the river during periods of low flow. Each unit is rated at 2,775 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 910 MW-electric. The reactor which was upgraded in 1997, is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Five transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Chattahoochee River and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Occasional release of water to the river from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from 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. 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).

T1 - A high-resolution TEM-AEM, pH titration, and modeling study of Zn (super 2+) coprecipitation with ferrihydrite
AN - 51624234; 2006-022149
AB - Experiments of Zn (super 2+) and Fe (super 3+) coprecipitation as a function of pH were conducted in the laboratory at ambient temperature and pressure. X-ray diffraction patterns of the coprecipitates show two broad peaks at 0.149 and 0.258 nm, which is consistent with published patterns for pure 2-line ferrihydrite. Zn (super 2+) uptake occurred at pH> or =5 while Fe (super 3+) precipitation occurred between pH 3 and 4, although both Zn (super 2+) and Fe (super 3+) were present in the same solution during the entire range of pH titration. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy shows that the coprecipitates are 2 to 6 nm sized single crystalline particles but aggregated to 50 to 400 nm sized clusters. Analytical electron microscopy indicated that the 5% atomic Zn with respect to Fe was homogeneously distributed. No segregated phases were found in the clusters or at single crystal edges, which is consistent with published extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) results at similar Zn/(Zn + Fe) ratios. Hence, occlusion and surface precipitation may be excluded as possible coprecipitation mechanisms. The bulk solution Zn (super 2+) sorption edge was fitted to both solid solution and generalized diffuse layer surface complexation models. However, a solid solution model is inconsistent with published EXAFS results that show tetrahedral polydentate Zn (super 2+) complexes sharing apices with Fe (super 3+) octahedra.

T1 - A review of the history of U.S. radiation protection regulations, recommendations, and standards.
AN - 67365994; 15650586
AB - Shortly after the discovery of x rays by Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen in 1895, and the isolation of the element radium by Pierre and Marie Curie three years later, the fascination with and potential for an array of uses of ionizing radiation in medicine, science, and technology was born. As with any new technology, there was a need to balance both the beneficial and potential detrimental effects of uses of these new technologies for the advancement of humankind. In the early days, radiation hazards were not well understood. Over the decades increasing concerns in the scientific community and lay population demanded that standardized guidance and recommendations be developed for the use of ionizing radiation. Today, U.S. radiation protection standards and recommendations to protect the occupational worker, members of the general public, and the environment are numerous and complex. This review summarizes the history of the development and application of radiation protection standards and regulations to assure the safe use of radiation and radioactive materials. The evolution and roles of international and national scientific recommending and regulatory organizations that shape U.S. radiation protection policy are described and discussed.

T1 - Measurements of radioactivity in books and calculations of resultant eye doses to readers.
AN - 67364649; 15650592
AB - Natural and fallout radioactivity in some book samples were measured with an HPGe detector coupled with a 4096 channel analyzer in order to estimate the radiation doses to readers' eyes from books. The radiation doses to a population at large due to the presence of radioactivity in the book are not significant. Thus, no radiation hazard occurs from the radioactivity content in the book. The estimated radiation doses to eyes were found to be below the maximum permissible dose to eyes recommended by ICRP.

T1 - Inelastic analysis of cylindrical steel containment vessels under internal accident conditions
AN - 17596299; 6515033
AB - The present paper is concerned with the structural safety assessment of a proposed nuclear steel containment shell during a postulated loss-of-coolant accident scenario. The structural evaluation is performed using a computational second-order refined plastic-hinge method, which is capable of accurately predicting all possible modes of failure in an efficient and computationally less expensive way than the general FEM formulation. A tangent modulus model and a gradual reduction of the inelastic resistance surface are used to take into account directly the structural strength and stability performances in the element formulation. The implemented numerical method provides more reliable safety margins and maintainability, exhibiting a more uniform structural safety level than the linear elastic analysis. A simplified non-linear heat transfer model, developed for symmetrical cross-sections, is used to determine the steel temperature gradient and to establish a link between the thermo and the mechanical analysis. The load resulting from pressure and temperature thermodynamic calculations, obtained for the accident scenario, are considered in the structural quasi-static analysis, so that the structural response can be tracked for the entire duration of the simulated accident.

T1 - Screening populations of individual cells for secretory heterogeneity
AN - 17329919; 6204448
AB - Many common metabolic and neurological disorders are related to defective regulation of exocytosis at the level of single cells. In exocytosis, vesicles containing the secretory product of a given cell type fuse with the plasma membrane allowing release of the vesicular contents into the extracellular environment where the physiological action can be exerted. The typical secretory vesicle contains between 0.15 and 10 attomoles of material that is released on a millisecond timescale. Hence, detection of this process presents several chemical and analytical challenges. In this work, we utilize the native ATP, stored at high concentrations within the secretory vesicles of most neuroendocrine cells and co-released during exocytosis and during cell lysis, as a universal tracer of cellular secretion events. Organisms studied include pancreatic islets, mast cells, and Escherischia coli. Cellular processes investigated include exocytotic release, stimulated cell lysis, and programmed cell lysis.

T1 - Prediction of hydrogen flux through sulfur-tolerant binary alloy membranes.
AN - 67389763; 15681382
AB - Metal membranes play a vital role in hydrogen purification. Defect-free membranes can exhibit effectively infinite selectivity but must also provide high fluxes, resistance to poisoning, long operational lifetimes, and low cost. Alloying offers one route to improve on membranes based on pure metals such as palladium. We show how ab initio calculations and coarse-grained modeling can accurately predict hydrogen fluxes through binary alloy membranes as functions of alloy composition, temperature, and pressure. Our approach, which requires no experimental input apart from knowledge of bulk crystal structures, is demonstrated for palladium-copper alloys, which show nontrivial behavior due to the existence of face-centered cubic and body-centered cubic crystal structures and have the potential to resist sulfur poisoning. The accuracy of our approach is examined by a comparison with extensive experiments using thick foils at elevated temperatures. Our experiments also demonstrate the ability of these membranes to resist poisoning by hydrogen sulfide.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANTS UNITS 1 AND 2, MANITOWOC COUNTY, WISCONSIN (TWENTY-THIRD DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36438324; 11360
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, located on the shores of Lake Michigan in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 23rd supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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 Nuclear Management Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the licenses are 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 licenses are not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is October 5, 2010, for Unit 1 and March 8, 2013, for Unit 2. The power station, which is located within in a 1,260-acre site, 1,050 acres of which are used for agricultural purposes. Each of the units uses a pressurized light-water reactor designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a once-through cooling system, which withdrawals from and discharges to Lake Michigan, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. Each unit is rated at 1,540 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding net electrical output of approximately 518 MW-electric. Units 1 and 2, which were placed in service in December 1970 and October 1972, respectively, are housed in vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Non-radioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four 345-kilovolt transmission lines, extending nine to 46.5 miles, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from Lake Michigan and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from 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. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

T1 - CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A MIXED OXIDE FUEL FABRICATION FACILITY AT THE SAVANNAH RIVER SITE, SOUTH CAROLINA. [Part 5 of 10]
T2 - CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A MIXED OXIDE FUEL FABRICATION FACILITY AT THE SAVANNAH RIVER SITE, SOUTH CAROLINA.
AN - 905874849; 11362-3_0005
AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a license for the construction and operation of a mixed oxide (MOX) fuel fabrication facility at the Savannah River Site (SRS) in South Carolina is proposed. The facility would convert depleted uranium and weapons-grade plutonium into MOX fuel. Use of the proposed facility to produce MOX fuel would be part of the Department of Energy's (DOE) surplus plutonium disposition program. The MOX facility would convert 37.5 tons of surplus weapons-grade plutonium into MOX fuel. The facility would be situated on a 41-acre site in the F-Area of SRS. Feedstock (surplus plutonium dioxide and depleted uranium dioxide) would be transported to the SRS to make the MOX fuel. The surplus plutonium is currently stored at seven DOE facilities within the United States. Additionally, depleted uranium hexaflouride would be transported from a DOE site(assumed to be the gaseous diffusion uranium facility in Portsmouth, Ohio) to a commercial fabrication facility (assumed to be the General Electric Company facility in Wilmington, North Carolina) where it would be converted to depleted uranium dioxide and transported to SRS. Once manufactured, the MOX fuel would be transported to mission reactors, where it would be irradiated. It is assumed that one or more reactors would later be authorized by to use MOX fuel. Two other proposed facilities and operations are considered in this final EIS: (1) the Pit Disassembly and Conversion Facility (PCDF) and the Waste Solidification Building (WSB), both of which would be located at the SRS. The PDFC would be required to convert 28.2 tons of surplus plutonium from a metal form to plutonium dioxide powder. The WSB would process liquid waste streams from the PDCF and MOX facility. Other waste from the MOX facility, not sent to the WSB, would be transferred to and managed by the SRS. National economic costs for the MOX, PDCF, and WSB facilities and operations are estimated at $3.85 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The MOX program would ensure that plutonium produced for nuclear weapons and declared excess to national security was converted into proliferation-resistant forms. As a result, the nation would be able to meet it's international commitments and prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, while contributing to the energy needs of the country. During operations, the MOX, DCF, and WSB would generate 480 direct and 780 indirect jobs, producing an income of $61 million per year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though the program would result in increased releases of radiation to the local area, these releases would be negligible. However, in the unlikely event of an accidental release of radioactive material, due to serious breakdowns of the MOX system, would result in large releases of radionuclides into the local area. Similarly, routine transportation of nuclear wastes to the MOX and related facilities would result in negligible releases of radionuclides, but accidental releases could have serious consequences. LEGAL MANDATES: Energy Reorganization Act of 1974. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 03-0151D, Volume 27, Number 2.

T1 - CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A MIXED OXIDE FUEL FABRICATION FACILITY AT THE SAVANNAH RIVER SITE, SOUTH CAROLINA. [Part 8 of 10]
T2 - CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A MIXED OXIDE FUEL FABRICATION FACILITY AT THE SAVANNAH RIVER SITE, SOUTH CAROLINA.
AN - 905874567; 11362-3_0008
AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a license for the construction and operation of a mixed oxide (MOX) fuel fabrication facility at the Savannah River Site (SRS) in South Carolina is proposed. The facility would convert depleted uranium and weapons-grade plutonium into MOX fuel. Use of the proposed facility to produce MOX fuel would be part of the Department of Energy's (DOE) surplus plutonium disposition program. The MOX facility would convert 37.5 tons of surplus weapons-grade plutonium into MOX fuel. The facility would be situated on a 41-acre site in the F-Area of SRS. Feedstock (surplus plutonium dioxide and depleted uranium dioxide) would be transported to the SRS to make the MOX fuel. The surplus plutonium is currently stored at seven DOE facilities within the United States. Additionally, depleted uranium hexaflouride would be transported from a DOE site(assumed to be the gaseous diffusion uranium facility in Portsmouth, Ohio) to a commercial fabrication facility (assumed to be the General Electric Company facility in Wilmington, North Carolina) where it would be converted to depleted uranium dioxide and transported to SRS. Once manufactured, the MOX fuel would be transported to mission reactors, where it would be irradiated. It is assumed that one or more reactors would later be authorized by to use MOX fuel. Two other proposed facilities and operations are considered in this final EIS: (1) the Pit Disassembly and Conversion Facility (PCDF) and the Waste Solidification Building (WSB), both of which would be located at the SRS. The PDFC would be required to convert 28.2 tons of surplus plutonium from a metal form to plutonium dioxide powder. The WSB would process liquid waste streams from the PDCF and MOX facility. Other waste from the MOX facility, not sent to the WSB, would be transferred to and managed by the SRS. National economic costs for the MOX, PDCF, and WSB facilities and operations are estimated at $3.85 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The MOX program would ensure that plutonium produced for nuclear weapons and declared excess to national security was converted into proliferation-resistant forms. As a result, the nation would be able to meet it's international commitments and prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, while contributing to the energy needs of the country. During operations, the MOX, DCF, and WSB would generate 480 direct and 780 indirect jobs, producing an income of $61 million per year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though the program would result in increased releases of radiation to the local area, these releases would be negligible. However, in the unlikely event of an accidental release of radioactive material, due to serious breakdowns of the MOX system, would result in large releases of radionuclides into the local area. Similarly, routine transportation of nuclear wastes to the MOX and related facilities would result in negligible releases of radionuclides, but accidental releases could have serious consequences.

T1 - A saturation screen for cis-acting regulatory DNA in the Hox genes of Ciona intestinalis
AN - 19939435; 6175485
AB - A screen for the systematic identification of cis-regulatory elements within large (>100 kb) genomic domains containing Hox genes was performed by using the basal chordate Ciona intestinalis. Randomly generated DNA fragments from bacterial artificial chromosomes containing two clusters of Hox genes were inserted into a vector upstream of a minimal promoter and lacZ reporter gene. A total of 222 resultant fusion genes were separately electroporated into fertilized eggs, and their regulatory activities were monitored in larvae. In sum, 21 separable cis-regulatory elements were found. These include eight Hox linked domains that drive expression in nested anterior-posterior domains of ectodermally derived tissues. In addition to vertebrate-like CNS regulation, the discovery of cis-regulatory domains that drive epidermal transcription suggests that C. intestinalis has arthropod-like Hox patterning in the epidermis.

T1 - Use of contaminated well water, example reference biospheres 1 and 2A
AN - 51569021; 2006-058206
AB - The BIOMASS programme's Theme 1 evaluated a number of scenarios, which assisted in the development of practical guidance. A total of four Example Reference Biospheres were fully developed, with the assumptions, data, and models thoroughly documented. These Examples display both the practicality and the transparency available through the use of the Reference Biosphere Methodology. While the methodology is designed to promote transparency and traceability, proper documentation and justification is still the responsibility of the user. The Examples can also be used as generic analyses in some situations. Although it is anticipated that each of the Reference Biospheres explored within BIOMASS Theme 1 should be a useful practical example, the quantitative results of the model calculations are not intended to be understood as prescribed biosphere "conversion factors". In choosing to implement an Example, careful consideration would need to be given to their relevance (including associated data) to the particular assessment context at hand. In general, the more complex the model is, the more limited applicability it has for generic purposes. For example, ERB1A (direct use of well water for drinking) can be used straightforwardly, with minor or no adjustments, at a number of generic sites. Example 2A, however, for which climatic conditions and agricultural practices need to be specified, would need to be implemented for each specific situation.

T1 - Major element geochemistry of Proterozoic Prince's Town granitoid from the southern Ashanti volcanic belt, Ghana
AN - 51122039; 2006-077492
AB - The Paleoproterozoic metavolcanic rocks of the southern Ashanti greenstone belt of Ghana are intruded by three major suites of granitoids, locally called Prince's Town, Dixcove and Ketan plutons. The Prince's Town pluton is the largest intrusive body in the Axim area, and tends to separate the Axim volcanic branch from the Cape Three Points branch. The pluton consists of granitic to dioritic rocks, which are generally massive but occasionally display alignment of ferromagnesian minerals. The rocks contain mainly plagioclase, K-feldspar, quartz, amphibole, biotite and opaques. The feldspars are mostly sericitized and saussuritized, and alteration of amphibole and biotite to epidote and chlorite is common. Accessory minerals include apatite, sphene and zircon. The geochemical data indicate that the rocks are tonalitic to granodioritic in composition, metaluminous (ASI<1) and have I-type characteristics. The granitoids have the SiO (sub 2) content of 63-70% total iron, as Fe (sub 2) O (sub 3) of 3.10-5.80%; (Na (sub 2) O+K (sub 2) O) content of 5.01-6.96% and Na (sub 2) O/K (sub 2) O ratios from 1.34 to 2.70; and are characterized by Mganging from 53 to 48. The Fe (super *) (= FeO (sub tot) +MgO and modified alkali-lime index (MALI) of the rocks indicate that the Prince's Town pluton is dominantly magnesian and calcic in nature. Higher values in molar CaO/(MgO+FeO (sub tot) ) coupled with low molar Al (sub 2) O (sub 3) /(MgO+FeO (sub tot) ) may suggest their derivation from partial melting of metabasaltic to metatonalitic source, with a possible contribution from metagreywacke, but preclude any contribution from metagreywacke, but preclude any contribution from metapelitic sources. The Birimian metavolcanic rocks are the likely source material candidate for the rocks. CIPW norm calculations yielded a crystallization temperature of approximately 650-685 degrees C and a pressure of 4-7 kb for the rocks, suggesting a lower crustal source. The Prince's Town plutonic rocks also show characteristics of plutons emplaced in a volcanic arc tectonic setting environment. This observation is largely consistent with previous studies conducted on granitoids from other parts of the southern Ashanti greenstone belt c and the belt-type granitoids of Ghana as a whole.

T1 - Comparative analysis of Athabasca Oil Sands and Green River oil shale resources; implications for production
AN - 50529642; 2009-016446
AB - It is becoming increasingly clear that the United States must develop its vast oil shale resources. The richest Green River Formation oil shale zones are equal to, or richer in grade than oil sands produced commercially in Alberta. An estimated 400 billion barrels, in-place, are of 30 gal/ton or better. A high quality resource base, as measured by high grade and easy accessibility, is necessary to realize modest supply cost. Modest supply costs have been shown in Alberta to be necessary to warrant large capital investments. There are substantial differences between the two resources in terms of ore mechanics, recovery conditions, and product qualities that require new technologies, and adaptations of technologies used in related industries, to produce oil from oil shale. Comparison of known mass and energy balances for oil sands with those calculated for oil shale strongly suggests that oil shale should experience similar profit potential. Products from oil shale will be more paraffinic, less alicyclic and less aromatic assuring good market acceptance. Environmental issues, while similar in nature, may have differing impacts and solutions, and these will need to be mitigated. Oil shale has a similar business model to oil sands; that is, there is no discovery risk, high recovery efficiency, long-term dependability, but high capital costs. Considering that it may take more than a decade to establish an oil shale industry, that new supply is currently needed, and that product prices will almost certainly remain firm, a government-industry push to develop these resources now seems warranted.

T1 - Hydrothermal dolomites in the Southern Appalachian Basin; ideal reservoirs with inherent exploration difficulties
AN - 50519411; 2009-021987
AB - Hydrothermal dolomite plays have become a prominent exploration target in the Appalachian basin. Large known hydrothermal dolomite fields in the Michigan and Illinois basins (i.e., Albion-Scipio and Lima-Indiana trends) and smaller fields in the northern Appalachian basin (i.e., Glodes Corner field, NY) have illustrated that these are ideal reservoirs and petroleum targets. Consequently, interest has been growing in the southern Appalachian basin pertaining to the potential of similar hydrothermal dolomite plays. Occurrences of "light bulb or dolomite chimney structures" in eastern Kentucky and Tennessee indicate that these targets are also present within Ordovician strata, but reservoir size and quality have not been adequately addressed. Most of the documented hydrothermal dolomite structures are associated with the Rome trough fault system in Kentucky (mostly surface exposures) and subsurface Mississippi Valley type ore deposits in Tennessee (Gordonsville and Mascot-Jefferson City mining districts). Exploration and development difficulties of these reservoirs include: 1) known semi-linear structures are typically small in horizontal extent (less then 0.2 km2); 2) their small size make them difficult to delineate in the subsurface because they are below the seismic imaging resolution; 3) larger structures are represented by sagging up-section reflectors that may get confused with synclines; 4) oil is not always associated with these structures; and 5) XRD and thin-section analyses from an exposed structure suggest that secondary dolomitization increased porosity of the immediate area within and around the structure, but also produced authigenic clays (smectite) and silica, which may hinder petroleum extraction.

T1 - Dolomitization of the Mississippian Leadville reservoir at Lisbon Field, Paradox Basin, Utah
AN - 50440385; 2009-021969
AB - The Mississippian Leadville Limestone in Lisbon field of the northern Paradox Basin, Utah, has produced nearly 51.8 MMBO and 769 BCFG. The trap is an elongate, asymmetrical, northwest-trending anticline with nearly 600 m of structural closure. The field is bounded on its northeast flank by a major, basement-involved normal fault with nearly 760 m of displacement. In addition, multiple northeast-trending normal faults dissect the Leadville reservoir into segments. Several of the best producing wells are located close to these faults. The Leadville Limestone was deposited as an open-marine, carbonate-shelf system highlighted with crinoid banks, peloid/oolitic shoals, and small Waulsortian mounds. Two major types of dolomite have been observed: (1) tight "stratigraphic" dolomite consisting of very fine grained (100-250 mu m), rhombic and saddle crystals that discordantly replace limestone and earlier "stratigraphic" dolomite. Predating or concomitant with late dolomite formation are pervasive leaching episodes that produced vugs and extensive microporosity. Solution-enlarged fractures and autobreccias are also common. Pyrobitumen and sulfide minerals appear to coat most crystal faces of the rhombic and saddle dolomites. Stable carbon and oxygen isotope data indicate that all Lisbon Leadville dolomites were likely associated with brines whose composition was enriched in (super 18) O compared with late Mississippian seawater. Oxygen isotope data constrain temperatures of the second dolomitizing event to >90 degrees C. Fluid inclusions in calcite and dolomite display variable liquid to vapor ratios suggesting reequilibration at elevated temperatures. Fluid salinities exceed 10 weight percent NaCl equivalent.

T1 - Smoothed oil and gas field outlines created for six onshore United States areas with ArcGIS
AN - 50435934; 2009-047842
AB - Oil and gas field outlines for six US basins (Denver, Wyoming Overthrust, Warrior, Appalachian, North Slope-portion, Florida Peninsula) were created using ArcGIS software as part of the Energy Information Administration's role in the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA). Field outlines were built utilizing well data tables available from state government entities and augmented with vendor data, then decimated to include only historic producers. Outlines were built by buffering wells with a radius determined from inter-well spacing within the field or reservoir. Buffers are then unioned together by field name to make a single polygon record per field. Because this results in small non-field internal "islands" and a scalloped outline appearance, an algorithm was applied to smooth these irregular boundaries while minimizing the increase in total outline area. Field outline creation and subsequent smoothing were automated by VBA programs within ArcGIS. Outlines for some states (CO/UT/WY) were checked using field outlines digitized by state agencies from hand-drawn geologic maps. It is believed that the combined state/vendor well data sets capture the vast majority of the present and recent producing wells in most of the study areas, so the resultant outlines include current production and remaining reserve areas. One exception to this is the Appalachian Basin, where digital records have not been created for all the oldest wells. Geologic surveys in several states (OH, PA, KY) are addressing this by creating field outlines in a GIS that combines new wells and digitized old field outlines, which cover the missing well records.

T1 - Laboratory studies evaluating CO2 flood impact on the geomechanics of whole core samples
AN - 50416498; 2009-055595
AB - Geological sequestration of CO (sub 2) , whether by enhanced oil recovery (EOR), coal-bed methane (CBM) recovery, or saline aquifer injection is a promising near-term sequestration methodology. While tremendous experience exists for EOR, and CBM recovery has been demonstrated in existing fields, saline aquifer injection studies have only recently been initiated. Studies evaluating the availability of saline aquifers suitable for CO (sub 2) injection show great potential, however, the long-term fate of the injected CO (sub 2) in these ancient aqueous systems is still uncertain. Migration of the CO (sub 2) beyond the natural reservoir seals could become problematic, thus the identification of means to enhance the natural seals may help lead to the utilization of this sequestration methodology. Co-injection of a mineral reactant slurry, either with the CO (sub 2) or in separate, secondary injection wells, could provide a means to enhance the natural reservoir seals by providing the necessary cations for precipitation of mineral carbonates along the periphery of the injection plume. The subject study evaluates the merit of several mineral slurry co-injection strategies, by conduct of a series of laboratory-scale CO (sub 2) flood tests on whole core samples of the Mt. Simon sandstone from the Illinois Basin. By conducting these tests on whole core samples rather than crushed core, an evaluation of the impact of the CO (sub 2) flood on the rock mechanics properties as well as the geochemistry of the core and brine solution has been possible. This empirical data could provide a valuable resource for the validation of reservoir models under development for these engineered CO (sub 2) systems.

T1 - Thrust attributes and potential hydrocarbon reservoirs in the Southern Appalachian Valley and Ridge
AN - 50391059; 2009-061487
AB - Thrust fault populations in the southern Appalachian foreland fold-thrust belt reach a maximum of ten at the latitude of Knoxville, Tennessee, then decrease northeastward and southwestward. Displacements range from 10-15 km on smaller thrusts to 100 km on two master faults. Spacing between faults at present erosion level roughly equals the stratigraphic section thickness between the Lower Cambrian master decollement and the top of the Ordovician among smaller faults, and to the top of the Mississippian in large-displacement faults. Displacements of all thrusts sum to slightly less than the estimated minimum displacement on the Blue Ridge-Piedmont megathrust sheet (upper mechanical boundary) that pushed the thrust belt in front of it. Strong curvature of the Georgia-Tennessee-Virginia segment of the thrust belt that produced curved particle trajectories in thrust sheets may restrict plane strain to local across-strike 2-D segments of thrust sheets. Subthrust duplexes arch thrust sheets and create opportunities for footwall hydrocarbon accumulations. Two fields in southwestern Virginia and northeastern Tennessee produce within this setting, with production from the Ordovician upper Knox and Stones River (Black River) and Nashville (Trenton) Groups. Numerous untested prospects exist beneath the Saltville, Copper Creek, and other major thrusts in the central and western Valley and Ridge well within the oil-gas window. An additional largely unexplored 100-km long subthrust detachment fold-simple triangle zone (Eureka structure) exists in the Valley and Ridge.

T1 - EARLY SITE PERMIT AT THE EXELON ESP SITE, CLINTON POWER STATION, DEWITT COUNTY, ILLINOIS.
AN - 36430965; 11434
AB - PURPOSE: The issuance to Exelon Generation Company, LLC, of an early site permit (ESP) for a location 461-acre tract identified for the siting of one nuclear power unit at the Exelon ESP site, adjacent to the Clinton Power Station (CPS), Unit 1, In DeWitt County, Illinois is proposed. The site is located approximately six miles east of the city of Clinton on a peninsula jutting into Clinton Lake between the Salt Creek North Fork arm and the Salt Creek arm. The ESP would not necessary permit construction and operation of a nuclear facility at the site, though an ESP may refer to a reactor's characteristics or plant parameter envelope (PPE), which is a set of postulated design parameters that bound the characteristics of a reactor or reactors that could be built at a selected site. Alternatively, an ESP application may refer to a detailed reactor design. An ESP is issued to initiate a process to assess whether a proposed site is suitable should the applicant decide to pursue a construction permit or combined construction permit and operation license. Three primary issues must be addressed in an ESP application, namely, site safety, environmental impacts and emergency planning. In the proposal at hand, the ESP applicant requested authorization to perform certain site preparation activities after the ESP is issued. No specific plant design has been chosen by Exelon for the new nuclear unit; rather, a set of bounding parameters, the aforementioned PPE, for the addition of one to eight reactor modules grouped into one facility or unit. The site is evaluated for the construction and operation of various numbers of new reactors and/or modules configured as one operating unit to provide a thermal energy capacity of 6,800 megawatts. The new unit would use either a wet cooling system (natural draft or mechanical draft cooling towers) or a hybrid of wet/dry cooling system. The entire site has been either graded or otherwise developed for the operation of the existing nuclear power plant. Recreation is the only special land use within the vicinity of the site. The anticipated transmission line rights-of-way for the ESP facility would be the existing rights-of-way used to transmit power generated by the CPS. These rights-of-way extend 23 miles to the north and 20 miles to the south of the site. In addition to the proposed Exelon site, six alternative sites located in Illinois are also considered in this daft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Issuance of the ESP would allow Exelon to more specifically determine the feasibility of constructing and operating additional nuclear facilities at the CPS. Power generated by such facilities would contribute to Exelon's ability to maintain system flexibility and reliability and increase its user market. Construction and operation activities would increase employment rolls and otherwise contribute to the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of the ESP site could affect a significant extent of prime farmland, which constitutes 84 percent of the site. Wildlife habitat would be affected, but less so. Withdrawal and return of water into Lake Clinton would be required. Returned water would be significantly warmer that water withdrawn, resulting in a thermal plume extending outward into the lake and laterally according to the direction of the littoral current, affecting near-shore fish and amphibian habitat. Transmission rights-of-way would continue to displace 700 acres for the northern corridor and 610 acres for the southern corridor. In the event that nuclear facilities were developed on the ESP, the radiological hazards associated with the plant would be increased somewhat. LEGAL MANDATES: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 52.25).

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, LAKE ONTARIO, NEW YORK. (TWENTY-FOURTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 1 of 1]
T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, LAKE ONTARIO, NEW YORK. (TWENTY-FOURTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36383312; 050014D-050414_0001
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, units 1 and 2, Lake Ontario, New York is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 24h supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Nine Mile Point Units 1 and 2 are operated 15 exclusively by the applicant, a subsidiary of Constellation Generation Group, LLC, which in turn is a 16 member of Constellation Energy Group. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which are which are August 22, 10 2009 for Unit 1, and October 31, 2026 for Unit 2. The Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station (Nine Mile Point) is located on the southeastern shore of Lake Ontario in the Town of Scriba, New York. The station consists of two units. Both units are boiling water reactors (BWRs), which produce steam that turns turbines to generate electricity. The plant obtains cooling water from Lake Ontario. Unit 1 employs once-through cooling. Unit 1 has a power rating of 1850 15 megawatts thermal [MW(t)] and 615 megawatts electric [MW(e)]. Unit 2 has closed-cycle cooling and utilizes a natural-draft cooling tower. Unit 2 has a power rating of 3467 MW(t) and 1144 MW(e). The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. The electricity generated by Nine Mile Point is connected to the grid by three single-circuit 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines (see Figure 2-5). Two of these lines connect to Unit 1 's 345-kV Switchyard (Clay Line 8 and Scriba Line 9) and one is connected to Unit 2's 345-kV Switchyard (Scriba Line 23). At the other end, Lines 9 and 23 connect to the grid at the Scriba Substation, located approximately 600 m (2000 ft) southeast of the Unit 1 and 2 Switchyards. Line 8 extends approximately 42 km (26 mi) southeast and connects to the grid at the Clay Substation. The transmission line corridor for Line 8 is approximately 150 m (500 ft) wide and is owned by Niagara Mohawk Co. In addition to the two 345-kV switchyards for outgoing electricity, each unit at Nine Mile Point has a 115-kV switchyard that brings in electricity from offsite sources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Lake Ontario and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from 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.

T1 - EARLY SITE PERMIT AT THE EXELON ESP SITE, CLINTON POWER STATION, DEWITT COUNTY, ILLINOIS. [Part 1 of 1]
T2 - EARLY SITE PERMIT AT THE EXELON ESP SITE, CLINTON POWER STATION, DEWITT COUNTY, ILLINOIS.
AN - 36371778; 050313D-050096_0001
AB - PURPOSE: The issuance to Exelon Generation Company, LLC, of an early site permit (ESP) for a location 461-acre tract identified for the siting of one nuclear power unit at the Exelon ESP site, adjacent to the Clinton Power Station (CPS), Unit 1, In DeWitt County, Illinois is proposed. The site is located approximately six miles east of the city of Clinton on a peninsula jutting into Clinton Lake between the Salt Creek North Fork arm and the Salt Creek arm. The ESP would not necessary permit construction and operation of a nuclear facility at the site, though an ESP may refer to a reactor's characteristics or plant parameter envelope (PPE), which is a set of postulated design parameters that bound the characteristics of a reactor or reactors that could be built at a selected site. Alternatively, an ESP application may refer to a detailed reactor design. An ESP is issued to initiate a process to assess whether a proposed site is suitable should the applicant decide to pursue a construction permit or combined construction permit and operation license. Three primary issues must be addressed in an ESP application, namely, site safety, environmental impacts and emergency planning. In the proposal at hand, the ESP applicant requested authorization to perform certain site preparation activities after the ESP is issued. No specific plant design has been chosen by Exelon for the new nuclear unit; rather, a set of bounding parameters, the aforementioned PPE, for the addition of one to eight reactor modules grouped into one facility or unit. The site is evaluated for the construction and operation of various numbers of new reactors and/or modules configured as one operating unit to provide a thermal energy capacity of 6,800 megawatts. The new unit would use either a wet cooling system (natural draft or mechanical draft cooling towers) or a hybrid of wet/dry cooling system. The entire site has been either graded or otherwise developed for the operation of the existing nuclear power plant. Recreation is the only special land use within the vicinity of the site. The anticipated transmission line rights-of-way for the ESP facility would be the existing rights-of-way used to transmit power generated by the CPS. These rights-of-way extend 23 miles to the north and 20 miles to the south of the site. In addition to the proposed Exelon site, six alternative sites located in Illinois are also considered in this daft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Issuance of the ESP would allow Exelon to more specifically determine the feasibility of constructing and operating additional nuclear facilities at the CPS. Power generated by such facilities would contribute to Exelon's ability to maintain system flexibility and reliability and increase its user market. Construction and operation activities would increase employment rolls and otherwise contribute to the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of the ESP site could affect a significant extent of prime farmland, which constitutes 84 percent of the site. Wildlife habitat would be affected, but less so. Withdrawal and return of water into Lake Clinton would be required. Returned water would be significantly warmer that water withdrawn, resulting in a thermal plume extending outward into the lake and laterally according to the direction of the littoral current, affecting near-shore fish and amphibian habitat. Transmission rights-of-way would continue to displace 700 acres for the northern corridor and 610 acres for the southern corridor. In the event that nuclear facilities were developed on the ESP, the radiological hazards associated with the plant would be increased somewhat. LEGAL MANDATES: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 52.25).

T1 - Effects on instruments of the World Health Organization-recommended protocols for decontamination after possible exposure to transmissible spongiform encephalopathy-contaminated tissue
AN - 20559783; 8078551
AB - It has been recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that rigorous decontamination protocols be used on surgical instruments that have been exposed to tissue possibly contaminated with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). This study was designed to examine the effects of these protocols on various types of surgical instruments. The most important conclusions are: (1) autoclaving in 1N NaOH will cause darkening of some instruments; (2) soaking in 1N NaOH at room temperature damages carbon steel but not stainless steel or titanium; (3) soaking in chlorine bleach will badly corrode gold-plated instruments and will damage some, but not all, stainless-steel instruments, especially welded and soldered joints. Damage became apparent after the first exposure and therefore long tests are not necessary to establish which instruments will be damaged.

T1 - Results from a user-centred critical incidents study for guiding future implementation of augmented reality in automotive maintenance
AN - 17740942; 6132400
AB - This exploratory study was carried out in the early phases of an R & D project for the implementation of an augmented reality-based (AR- based) job aid for automotive service technicians (ASTs). Prior to the study, key stakeholder groups had little clarity on the actual goal of the future system. Strong emphasis was placed on providing technicians with step-by-step guidance during repairs to new models of vehicles. AR was also assumed to be useful as a visualization aid for inaccessible vehicle parts. An ergonomic study was proposed to help clarify the high-level end users' requirements. The study, on 11 mechanics, was done using the critical incident technique. The incidents were collected through interviews. The results showed that the major difficulty in ASTs' activity was diagnosing electronic components on new models of vehicles. Other critical factors appeared in technicians' verbal reports, e.g. physical and organisational difficulties. The visualization of inaccessible vehicle parts, which was stakeholders' primary concern, only seemed problematic in one case. On the basis of these results, we discuss the applicability of AR to ASTs' work as well as a few perspectives of the study.Relevance to industry There exist a number of job aids for ASTs, each of which has its advantages and disadvantages. This paper focuses on the advantages of AR to assist ASTs' activity. We also report an empirical study on ASTs' major difficulties with new models of vehicles.

T1 - Nuclear desalination and electricity production for islands
AN - 17408614; 6525610
AB - Nuclear desalination is an established and commercially proven technology that is now available and has the potential of further improvement. The technology of a small-sized reactor for desalination and electricity production will be an economically viable option and will also be suitable for islands with geographic, climatic, ecological and hydrological specifics. The operating experiences and achieved safety should benefit the early stage of a national nuclear power programme in developing countries.

T1 - Investigation of sulfate and nitrate formation on mineral dust particles by receptor modeling
AN - 17233773; 6929643
AB - The formation of sulfate and nitrate by heterogeneous reactions of gaseous precursors on mineral dust particles was investigated using positive matrix factorization (PMF) of coarse PM sub(10) (particulate diameters from 2.2 to 10 mu m) collected at urban (Hanoi) and rural (Lucnam) sites in northern Vietnam. Air samples were analyzed for ionic and elemental components using ion chromatography and proton induced X-ray emission methods. PMF revealed six similar sources/types of coarse PM sub(10) at the two sites, namely soil dust containing nitrate and sulfate, coal fly ash from distant and local sources, soil dust containing organic matter and ammonium sulfate and marine aerosol. Traffic (road) dust was found only at the urban site. From the PMF factor models, the yields of [image], [image] and [image] can be estimated and their possible chemical forms in different particulate types can be suggested. The yields of nitrate and sulfate formation on mineral dust particles increase with the [Ca]/[Si] ratio, which is greater in soil dust than in coal fly ash. Nitrate is bound to Ca-richest soil dust particles. Ammonium was found in dust particles containing soil organic matter, which also hold the largest amount of sulfate. The comparison of urban and rural receptor models provided synergy for the source identification and insights into the properties of mineral dust particles relevant to their interactions with acidic gases in ambient air.

T1 - Effects of chlorinated volatile organic compounds on the degradation of biogenic alkenes in presence of ozone in an atmospheric simulation chamber
AN - 17137578; 6782285
AB - Aerosol smog chamber studies are performed in the dark, so to elucidate the chemical and physical processes that can occur in forester's atmosphere that forms fine particles of matter. Estimation, through an atmospheric simulation chamber, of the role that ozone plays on air masses containing chlorinated compounds above forests is necessary. In this sense, we are interested in the disappearance of alpha - and beta -pinene, the decomposition of ozone, and the formation of aerosols and carbonyl compounds during the experiments. They have demonstrated that the presence of CH sub(2)Cl sub(2) and CHCl = CCl sub(2) does not significantly influence the rate of degradation of alpha -pinene which, in turn, is governed by the reactivity of ozone. In addition, an increase of the number of aerosols has been registered, however, only when they are in presence of chlorinated compounds under not humidified atmosphere. On the other side, the beta -pinene decay is strongly affected by CHCl = CCl sub(2) and moisture. As one conclusion of the above-described experiments, we found that CHCl = CCl sub(2) and moisture are two factors promoting the production of carbonyl volatile organic compounds.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, LAKE ONTARIO, NEW YORK. (TWENTY-FOURTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 16354823; 11765
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, units 1 and 2, Lake Ontario, New York is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 24h supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Nine Mile Point Units 1 and 2 are operated 15 exclusively by the applicant, a subsidiary of Constellation Generation Group, LLC, which in turn is a 16 member of Constellation Energy Group. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which are which are August 22, 10 2009 for Unit 1, and October 31, 2026 for Unit 2. The Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station (Nine Mile Point) is located on the southeastern shore of Lake Ontario in the Town of Scriba, New York. The station consists of two units. Both units are boiling water reactors (BWRs), which produce steam that turns turbines to generate electricity. The plant obtains cooling water from Lake Ontario. Unit 1 employs once-through cooling. Unit 1 has a power rating of 1850 15 megawatts thermal [MW(t)] and 615 megawatts electric [MW(e)]. Unit 2 has closed-cycle cooling and utilizes a natural-draft cooling tower. Unit 2 has a power rating of 3467 MW(t) and 1144 MW(e). The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. The electricity generated by Nine Mile Point is connected to the grid by three single-circuit 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines (see Figure 2-5). Two of these lines connect to Unit 1 's 345-kV Switchyard (Clay Line 8 and Scriba Line 9) and one is connected to Unit 2's 345-kV Switchyard (Scriba Line 23). At the other end, Lines 9 and 23 connect to the grid at the Scriba Substation, located approximately 600 m (2000 ft) southeast of the Unit 1 and 2 Switchyards. Line 8 extends approximately 42 km (26 mi) southeast and connects to the grid at the Clay Substation. The transmission line corridor for Line 8 is approximately 150 m (500 ft) wide and is owned by Niagara Mohawk Co. In addition to the two 345-kV switchyards for outgoing electricity, each unit at Nine Mile Point has a 115-kV switchyard that brings in electricity from offsite sources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Lake Ontario and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from 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. 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).

T1 - Accelerating environmental cleanup at DOE sites: Monitored natural attenuation/enhanced attenuation-A basis for a new paradigm
AN - 16192625; 6399226
AB - The U.S. Department of Energy is conducting a project to accelerate remediation through the use of monitored natural attenuation and enhanced attenuation for chlorinated ethenes in soils and groundwater. Better monitoring practices, improved scientific understanding, and an advanced regulatory framework are being sought through a team effort that engages technology developers from academia, private industry, and government laboratories; site cleanup managers; stakeholders; and federal and state regulators. The team works collaboratively toward the common goals of reducing risk, accelerating cleanup, reducing cost, and minimizing environmental disruption. Cuttingedge scientific advances are being combined with experience and sound environmental engineering in a broadly integrated and comprehensive approach that exemplifies so-called "third-generation R&D." The project is potentially a model for other cleanup activities.

T1 - Understanding the ocean in order to support decision-making: An introduction to NOAAs 5-year research plan and 20-year research vision
AN - 1521397633; 7828771
AB - The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is entrusted with responsibly managing the living marine resources and habitats of the worlds largest Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Americans depend on healthy ecosystems and the living marine resources they support for food, jobs, recreation, tourism, medicine, and energy. To achieve the delicate balance of sustainable use through wise conservation and protection measures of coastal and marine resources, NOAA will focus on conducting and sponsoring research that will improve our understanding of the complexity and interconnectedness of the worlds marine ecosystems to allow policy and decision-makers to make more science-based predictions and decisions. To advance our knowledge of ocean processes and identify the goods and services required in the 21st century, NOAA has developed a short-term 5-year research plan and a longer-term 20-year research vision that seeks partnerships, both domestically as well as internationally, to take full advantage of the available expertise throughout the worlds research community. NOAAs plans identify research milestones within a larger program structure: Ecosystems, Climate, Weather and Water, and Commerce and Transportation. Whether it be rebuilding depleted fish stocks and protecting endangered species to assessing climate variation and primary productivity, NOAA must invest in research to improve environmental forecasts that affect the quality of peoples lives and those of future generations. This poster will present some of NOAAs important research milestones and encourage international collaboration from the worlds research community.

T1 - Progress in the implementation policies of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM), a UK governance perspective
AN - 1521397592; 7828770
AB - This presentation will provide an independent, up-to-date analysis of UK policy advances on the implementation of the various reforms in fisheries and will evaluate their consistency against the EAFM principles. The current UK Government (April 2005) is committed to implementing an ecosystem approach to managing human activities in the marine environment, in line with international framework policies and the objectives stated in the roadmap of the reformed Common Fisheries Policy. The implications of ecosystem management for the scientific basis of governance are extensive and challenging because the shift of focus from fish stock management to the conservation and integrity of ecosystems is difficult to translate into political decisions. A gap between high-level policy development and implementation was noted in the recent report of the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution. However, measures slowly emerging from the principles underlying the EAFM are currently being implemented: the decentralisation and involvement of stakeholders, with the formation of the North Sea Regional Advisory Council; the recent evaluation of marine protected areas (MPAs) at a workshop conducted by the nature conservation and fisheries minister; a report, Net Benefits by the Prime Ministers Strategy Unit, with recommendations on a sustainable future for the UK fishing industry. The analysis will draw on the expertise of a wide range of parties to provide an update on progress of UK policies on fisheries and their adherence to EAFM principles.

T1 - EARLY SITE PERMIT AT THE NORTH ANNA SITE, LAKE ANNA, VIRGINIA.
AN - 36436199; 11308
AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a early site permit (EPA) for the North Anna Power Station (NAPS), on Lake Anna, Virginia is proposed in this preliminary EIS. Approval of the permits would also allow the applicant, Nuclear North Anna, LLC (Dominion), to develop a site within the existing North Anna Power Station as suitable for the construction and operation of new nuclear power generating facilities and issue an EPS for the proposed site at NAPS. The proposed action does not constitute any decision or approval to construct or operate one or more nuts; these matters would be concerned only upon the filing of applications for a construction permit and operating license. No alternative land use has been identified. This EIS include Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff analysis considering and weighing the environmental impacts of construction and operation of two new nuclear units at he North Anna ESP, or at alternative sites. It also includes the staff's preliminary recommendation, which is to issue the ESP. The preliminary report recommendation is based on the Environmental Report, submitted by Dominion, as revised; consultation with federal state, and tribal, and local agencies; the staff's independent review; and the assessments summarized in this draft EIS, including the potential mitigation measures identified. The staff has also concluded that there are no environmentally preferable or obviously superior site. Three primary issues, namely site safety, environmental impacts, and emergency planning, must be addressed in the ESP application. Issues addressed also include land use, meteorology and air quality, site geology, hydrology, water use, water quality, terrestrial and aquatic ecology, socioeconomics, historical and cultural resources, environmental justice, site layout and plant parameter envelope, plant water use, cooling system, radioactive and nonradioactive waste management, radiological and nonradiological health impacts, fuel cycle, transportation, of nuclear fuels and radioactive wastes, and decommissioning, and use of light-water reactors vs. gas-cooled creators. Alternative sites considered include the Savannah Riversite and the Portsmouth ESP site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The newly sites nuclear reactors would provide electric power, to be transmitted to the power regional grid services by Dominion and used by residential, commercial, and industrial users. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The staff has preliminarily concluded that the site preparation and preliminary construction activities allowed by regulatory law would not result in any significant adverse environmental impact that cannot be redressed. The sites access corridors could be affected by clearing, grading Long-term disturbance of 128 acres, with an additional 67.9 acres to be disturbed on a short-term basis. Cooling system water would be withdrawn from and returned to Lake Anna, resulting in lake drawdown and a thermal plume, both of which would affect the aquatic ecosystem and the recreational value of the lake, respectively, as well as lakeside visual and olfactory aesthetics, Plant structures, particularly cooling towers. 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).

T1 - Evaluating the Health Risk from Secondary Sulfates in Eastern North American Regional Ambient Air Particulate Matter
AN - 16192957; 6203963
AB - Epidemiological studies of particulate matter (PM) using central area monitors have associated total PM mass, as well as certain individual components of PM, including sulfate, with adverse human health effects. However, some recent studies that used concentrated ambient particles (CAPs) or analyzed the effects of air pollution from different sources or geographic areas suggest that while some particles may be harmful, other particulate species including secondary sulfates may have negligible health effects. Toxicology studies to date also suggest that secondary sulfates pose little health risk. While studies using central-area monitors implicitly assume that all residents of the area are exposed to the same levels of pollution, newer studies find substantial health effects for those in close proximity to major roads. These latter studies recognize that although population exposure to widespread pollutants, such as total PM mass and sulfates, may be relatively uniform over a wide area, exposure to pollutants from local sources is not. While there is an emerging literature associating several adverse health effects with proximity to local pollution sources, the current database provides limited information that allows identification of specific particulate species that may cause little to no harm. In this article, we suggest that ambient secondary sulfates, and eastern North American regional air masses generally, appear to have little adverse impact on public health. This suggestion is based on evidence gleaned from eight avenues of investigation: (1) recent non-central-area monitor studies, including exposure gradient or proximity studies; (2) CAPs studies; (3) studies that examine effects related to different geographic areas or sources; (4) toxicology studies; (5) the limited number of studies that analyze existing central-area monitor data to explicitly examine the health impacts of sulfate and acidity versus PM mass; (6) "modern" area monitor studies with additional capabilities to distinguish among sources of pollution; (7) partial reinterpretation of two pivotal cohort studies; and (8) studies separating effects of secondary sulfates from those of primary metal sulfates. However, uncertainties remain regarding the role that secondary sulfates may play in ambient PM chemistry pathways leading to potentially harmful products, such as the possible effects of secondary organic aerosols that may be the product of acid catalysis of sulfur dioxide. Thus, more targeted study is needed, and some research suggestions are made in this regard.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 (TWENTY-FIRST DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36436135; 11302
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Browns Ferry Nuclear (BFN) Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 in rural Alabama is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 21st supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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 Tennessee Valley Authority, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 three units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed units 1, 2, and 3 would be shutdown on or before expiration of the current licenses, the dates of which are December 20, 2013, June 28, 2014, and July 2, 2016 and, respectively. The 840-acre power station site is located on federally owned land abutting the Wheeler Reservoir, 30 miles west of Huntsville, Alabama, characterized by agricultural land uses and recreational uses, including fishing and recreational boaters. Each unit employs a boiling water reactor and a steam-driven turbine generator manufactured by General Electric Corporation. Each unit was licensed for an output of 293M Megawatts-thermal (MW(t)). Commercial operation for units, 1, 2, and 3, began in 1974, 1975, and 1977 respectively. Unit 1 is inactive; work began in 2002 to bring Unit 1 up to current standards, and operation of the reactor is currently scheduled to resume 2007. All three units were shutdown in 1985 during a review of the TVA nuclear power program. Unit 2 returned to service in 1991, and Unit 3 resumed operation in November 1995. The BNF Plant completed an integrated plant improvement project for units 2 and 3; among improvements made were a five percent uprate in the original licensed thermal power for both units from 3,293to 3,458 MW(t). In June 2004, TVA submitted applications for extended power uprates to 120 percent of the original licensed thermal power at each of the three BNF Plant units. These applications, if approved by the staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would take effect during the existing license terms, so the impacts of this uprate are considered in this supplemental EIS. All units feature two-loop, closed-cycle, pressurized-water reactors, licensed for a calculated electrical output of approximately 1,065 megawatts-electric (MW(e)). The units employ reactor coolant recirculation loops to the and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel; the cooling system withdraws water from the Wheeler Reservoir and discharges heated water back to the reservoir. The reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Seven 500-kilovolt (kV) connect the 500-kV BNF Plant switchyard to the transmission lines; one line transmits power to the Trinity substation, one line each to the West Point, Maury, and Union (Mississippi) substations, and one line to the Livestone substation. In addition, two 161-kV lines, one connecting to the Athens substation and the other to the Trinity substation. All lines use a portion of four transmission line rights-of-way, one to the Maruy substation, one to the Trinity substation, one to the Athens substation, and one to the Union substation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. 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: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Wheeler Reservoir and deliver makeup water back to the Sound. Release of water to the Sound from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the Sound. 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. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace other land uses for public use. Refusal to renew the license and the subsequent decommissioning of the units could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

T1 - Preparation of in-house reference soil sample containing high levels of naturally occurring radioactive materials from the oil industry.
AN - 66901562; 15388139
AB - An in-house reference soil sample containing high levels of naturally occurring radioactive materials collected from contaminated areas in the Syrian oilfields has been prepared as a part of the quality assurance program in AECS. Homogeneity of the sample has been examined using three methods, viz. particle size distribution of the sample matrix, total alpha/beta counting and gamma spectrometry. In conjunction with Dixon and Grubb tests as statistical tools, ten random samples from the original sample were used for this investigation. Reference values for the three radium isotopes (224Ra, 226Ra, 228Ra) were determined using gamma spectrometry equipped with HPGe detectors having high relative efficiencies of 80%, while the reference value of 210Pb in the sample was determined using radiochemical separation and counting of its daughter 210Po by alpha spectrometry. ANOVA analysis was used to estimate the uncertainties due to measurement and inhomogeneity of the sample; uncertainty due to inhomogeneity was found to be around 2.6 times the measurement uncertainty.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: MILLSTONE POWER STATION, UNITS 2, AND 3, WATFORD, CONNECTICUT. (TWENTY-SECOND DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36437928; 11300
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Millstone Power Station Waterford, New York is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 22nd supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc., nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 two units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed, units 2 and 3 would be shut down on or before expiration of the current licenses, the dates of which are July 2015 and November 2025, respectively. The 525-acre power station site is located between the Niantic and Thames on the north shore of the Long Island Sound, approximately 40 miles east of New Haven and 40 miles southeast of Hartford. Unit 1, a boiling water reaction, was permanently shutdown in 1995. The facility is in long-term storage awaiting decontamination and dismantlement as part of station decommissioning. Millstine Unit 2 is a two-loop, closed-cycle, pressurized-water reactor, with a calculated electrical output of approximately 870 megawatts electric (MW(e)), while Millstone Unit 3 is a four-loop, closed-cycle, pressurized water reactor, with a calculated electrical output of 1,154 MW(e). The units employ once-through cooling systems that withdraws from and discharges into the Long Island Sound, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. The reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Five transmission lines, extending nine, four, 32, 61, and 71 miles, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. 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: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from Long Island Sound and deliver makeup water back to the Sound. Release of water to the Sound from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the Sound. 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. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace approximately 4,133 acres of land for public use. Refusal to renew the license and the subsequent decommissioning of the units could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

T1 - Acute effects of adrenergic agents on post-defibrillation arrest time in a cultured heart model
AN - 17831642; 6192897
AB - Possible drug interactions with electrical defibrillation were examined. We tested the hypothesis that adrenergic agents (epinephrine, norepinephrine, isoproterenol) and a calcium channel blocker (verapamil), when applied acutely, alter the duration of arrest following a defibrillator shock. A secondary hypothesis (based on observations) was that the drugs alter the occurrence of changes to normal rhythms following the shock. Dissociated heart cells from 10-day chicken embryos were cultured to form spherical aggregates and plated in petri dishes. In the experiments, the spheres were paced at 0.75 V/cm above contraction threshold, and a biphasic defibrillator shock was applied for 1 ms at 46 V/cm. The arrest time and occurrence of rhythm changes were recorded. The adrenergic agents shortened the duration of arrest following a defibrillator shock, while the calcium channel blocker lengthened the arrest time. Comparisons with the control proportion of double beats showed no significant change with the adrenergic agents and a decrease with verapamil.

T1 - The silicate/non-silicate distribution of metals in fly ash and its effect on solubility
AN - 16184343; 6004780
AB - In a study at DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory, 32 Class F fly ash samples from pulverized coal (PC) power plants were dissolved in concentrated nitric acid and in hydrofluoric acid to estimate the distribution of metals in non-silicate and silicate matrices. Nineteen cations occurred to some extent in both phases. Using a column leaching method, the release of the metals was determined with four leachant solutions; the pH of the leachants ranged between 1.2 and 12. Although the amount of an element extracted from the fly ash was low, solubility in alkaline leachants was correlated with elements in non-silicate compounds. Solubility in acid solutions was correlated more strongly with silicate phase concentration.

T1 - REMEDIATION OF THE MOAB URANIUM MILL TAILINGS, GRAND AND SAN JUAN COUNTIES, UTAH.
AN - 36436904; 11241
AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continued leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analysed in this draft EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. No preferred alternative has been selected. Annual costs of onsite disposal are estimated at $20.7 million, while annual offsite disposal estimates range from $41.3 million to $52.5 million for truck transport, $49 million for rail transport, and $49.4 million to $58.2 million for slurry transport. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. Borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-weet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative. LEGAL MANDATES: Floyd D, Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (P.L. 106-398) and Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 (42 U.S.C. 7901 et seq.) PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final programmatic EISs on the groundwater project, see 95-0247D, Volume 19, Number 3 and 96-0540F, Volume 20, Number 6, respectively. For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on Moab site reclamation, see 96-00111D, Volume 20, Number 2 and 99-0212F, Volume 23, Number 3, respectively.

T1 - Light water reactor health physics.
AN - 67073619; 15551785
AB - In this article an overview of the historical development of light water reactor health physics programs is presented. Operational health physics programs have developed and matured as experience in operating and maintaining light water reactors has been gained. Initial programs grew quickly in both size and complexity with the number and size of nuclear units under construction and in operation. Operational health physics programs evolved to face various challenges confronted by the nuclear industry, increasing the effectiveness of radiological safety measures. Industry improvements in radiological safety performance have resulted in significant decreases in annual collective exposures from a high value of 790 person-rem in 1980 to 117 person-rem per reactor in 2002. Though significant gains have been made, the continued viability of the nuclear power industry is confronted with an aging workforce, as well as the challenges posed by deregulation and the need to maintain operational excellence.

T1 - Implantable self-powered detector for on-line determination of neutron flux in patients during NCT treatment.
AN - 66789576; 15308188
AB - A novel system to determine thermal neutron flux in real time during NCT treatments was developed in the National Atomic Energy Commission of Argentina. The system is based on a special self-powered detector that can be implanted in patients owing to its small size and biocompatibility. High voltage is not required to operate this kind of detectors, which is a considerable advantage in terms of medical uses. By choosing the appropriate materials, it was possible to obtain a prototype with thermal neutron sensitivity providing for an adequate signal level in typical NCT thermal fluxes. It was also possible to minimize gamma response in order to neglect its contribution.

T1 - The Arctic Alaska-Canada connection revisited
AN - 51758309; 2005-012650
AB - Since A. Wegener published his reconstruction of Gondwana geologists have looked for markers that link conjugate margins that have rifted apart. Yet even where seafloor magnetic anomalies allow for precise restoration of continents, unambiguous piercing points are rare. We have identified a set of such piercing points which link the present-day North Slope margin of Alaska to the Canadian Arctic islands. Although many plate configurations have been proposed for the opening of the Amerasia basin, the preferred model involves the counterclockwise rotation of Arctic Alaska away from the Canadian Arctic islands. Recent aeromagnetic and satellite gravity data have leant support to this model. In addition, both the stratigraphy and the tectonic history of the North Slope are comparable to those of the Sverdrup basin of Arctic Canada. The most specific piercing point previously identified is obtained by matching the axis of the Sverdrup basin (located near Brock Island) to the Hanna trough of Arctic Alaska (located west of Barrow). More precise piercing points can be found by mapping in detail the geometry of Late Paleozoic-Early Mesozoic basin fill in both areas using seismic and well data. Strata of the Carboniferous through Jurassic Ellesmerian Sequence of Arctic Alaska progressively on-laps onto a Pre-Mississippian unconformity from south to north. This can be viewed as a set of paleo-shorelines prograding to the north as the Ellesmerian basin subsided. The Carboniferous paleo-shoreline intersects the coast at about 160 degrees W, while the late Triassic paleo-shoreline does so at 157 degrees W, just southwest of Point Barrow. A matching set of paleo-shorelines of the same ages, in the same order, and with similar spacing, can be mapped in the Canadian Arctic islands. These paleo-shorelines approach the edge of the continental shelf on the northwest coast of Prince Patrick Island between 119 degrees W and 122 degrees W. This geometry establishes a compelling link between the northern margin of Arctic Alaska and the Canadian Arctic islands and confirms the rotational model for the opening for this part of the Amerasia Basin. However, whether this simple model applies to the central Arctic Basin, which is underlain by the Alpha-Mendeleev ridges, and how to fit the Chukotka portion of the Arctic Alaska-Chukotka microplate into the model, remain unresolved.

T1 - The dissolution of a conceptual model; the karst hydrogeology of U. S. DOE Oak Ridge Reservation
AN - 51723051; 2005-025081
AB - The Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR) was placed on the U.S. EPA National Priorities List in 1989. Paleozoic carbonate rocks underlie about 60 percent of this U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) site in east Tennessee. Karst on the ORR was acknowledged since carbonates were the host to significant contamination. However, ground-water tracing with fluorescent dyes, a standard tool for determining ground-water flow paths and travel times in any carbonate setting, was rarely attempted prior to 1995. A site conceptual model suggested that rapid ground-water flow was generally limited to interflow after storms, and that some carbonate units behaved as aquitards. Numerical models of ground-water flow in areas with carbonate rocks were constructed ignoring rapid flow through karst pathways. Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) staff was not convinced that the carbonates within ORR boundaries were significantly different than carbonates elsewhere. TDEC staff, in conjunction with Cambrian Ground Water Company (CGWC) of Oak Ridge, demonstrated the significance of rapid flow along karst pathways with ground-water tracing tests. Beginning in 1995, ten ground-water tracing tests using fluorescent dyes were completed by TDEC and CGWC. The results showed that ORR ground-water flow paths could be kilometers long and that velocities were rapid and similar to ground-water velocities in carbonates in the rest of the world. In some cases, so-called scaling effects (differences between hydrogeologic data from well tests and tracer data) were striking, with traced velocities being many orders of magnitude faster than those inferred from numerical models. A comparison of tracing data with pump, slug, and packer test data from numerous DOE investigations, confirmed a significant scaling effect on hydrogeologic parameters. This effect clearly demonstrates the limitation of using potentiometric data and information from small-scale hydrogeologic tests to deduce groundwater velocities or water budgets at the watershed or basin scale in this carbonate setting. To date, however, DOE has done little to modify the original site conceptual model, which held that rapid groundwater velocities in bedrock were the exception on the ORR.

T1 - WIPP compliance recertification; a leaner, meaner application
AN - 51703516; 2005-049304
AB - The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) submitted the Compliance Recertification Application (CRA) to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in March 2004. The 2004 CRA is the second "application" and the first of several such renewal applications for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). In contrast to the first application, Compliance Certification Application (CCA), the CRA is noticeably leaner. The layout of the 2004 CRA simplifies the type and amount of documentation that is utilized to demonstrate continued compliance. For example, the 2004 CRA is about 65% smaller than the CCA by page count, and the content is even more focused on addressing specific certification criteria, rather than describing a broader range of WIPP technical and regulatory topics. The 2004 CRA still provides extensive information that covers the general, containment, and assurance requirements, as well as describing the programs that protect human health and natural resources. For future WIPP recertification efforts, DOE is dedicated to ensuring continued compliance while keeping the amount of produced documentation to a minimal level. There are two ways in which this has been addressed. First, by reducing the use and production of paper-intensive publications through implementation of electronic documentation and reporting systems, the regulatory reporting process can be more efficient. This will also help to ensure more timely notifications through modern delivery systems. Second, through restructuring and consolidating the framework of compliance applications, the supplied information is focused on directly responding to the EPA's standards for deep geologic disposal of radioactive waste. Use of these methods, along with the concurrence of the EPA will allow DOE to efficiently fulfill a broad range of requirements throughout the next several decades.

T1 - Gases generated in underground coal mine fires
AN - 51702294; 2005-046105
AB - During the uncontrolled combustion of coal in underground mine fires, the generation of gaseous compounds is a function of temperature and the concentration of oxygen. The oxidation of the coal produces CO2 and CO with a concurrent decrease in the concentration of O2. In a laboratory study on spontaneous combustion, various carbonaceous samples were heated at a controlled rate between ambient and 250 deg C. The concentration of O2 was not limited, and the concentration of CO2 increased with increased temperature to maximum of 10%. In the same study, CO was not detected at temperatures below 100 deg C, and the maximum concentration was less than 4%. The ratio of CO2 to CO decreased with increased temperature. It varied for anthracite and bituminous samples, and asymptotically approached a limiting value of 3 in this study. Gas samples were obtained from four abandoned mine fire sites. These indicated a linear increase in the concentration of CO2 relative to the decreased concentration of O2. At an O2 concentration of 2%, the CO2 concentration approached 15%. In the field studies, CO was usually detected only when the O2 concentration was less than 8%, indicating that CO is produced by combustion reaction in an O2 deficient environment. The ratio N2/O2 was used to estimate the degree of O2 deficiency. At elevated temperatures, methane and other alkane hydrocarbons are desorbed from coal. In laboratory and field studies, it has been shown that as the temperature increases, the concentrations of ethane, propane, butane and pentane increase relative to the concentration of methane. A ratio of higher molecular weight hydrocarbons to total hydrocarbons was used to distinguish combustion and non-combustion areas in abandoned mines. Laboratory experiments and field studies at abandoned coal mine fires have shown that gas composition is an accurate indicator of the extent and location of combustion zones, the relative concentration of O2, and the generation of combustion products.

T1 - The necessity of geologic disposal
AN - 51701861; 2005-049301
AB - Nuclear wastes are the radioactive byproducts of nuclear power generation, nuclear weapons production, and other uses of nuclear material. Experts from around the world agree that deep geologic disposal of nuclear waste in a mined repository is the most environmentally sound means of removing these potential sources of radiation from interaction with the biosphere. Of the 360 millirems of background radiation received annually by the average American, from both natural and man-made sources, less than 1 millirem results from the nuclear fuel cycle. Spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste, destined for geologic disposal, are located at 126 sites in 39 states. The proposed repository site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, is far more isolated from the general population than any sites where these radioactive materials are presently located. Only solid forms of high-level wastes will be transported for disposal in a geologic repository. For more than 50 years, nuclear materials have been safely transported in North America, Europe, and Asia, without a single significant radiation release. Since the 1950s, select panels from the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council and interagency advisory groups, and international experts selected by the OECD/Nuclear Energy Agency, have examined the environmental, ethical, and intergenerational aspects of nuclear waste disposal, plus alternatives to geologic disposal. All have concluded that deep geologic disposal in a mined repository is clearly the preferred option. The concept of deep geologic disposal is based on the analogy to ore deposits, which are formed deep within the Earth's crust, commonly remain isolated from the biosphere for millions to billions of years, and are, generally, extremely difficult to detect. Before selecting the unsaturated tuffs at Yucca Mountain, DOE evaluated salt formations, basalts, and both crystalline and sedimentary rocks. Other nations generating nuclear power also plan to use deep geologic disposal, and are evaluating sites in granites, argillaceous rocks, and salt formations.

T1 - Permanent disposal of nuclear waste in a deep geologic repository near Carlsbad, NM
AN - 51699600; 2005-049302
AB - Congress directed the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to provide safe and permanent isolation of spent nuclear fuel and long-lived radioactive wastes. The DOE National Security and Military Applications of Nuclear Energy Authorization Act of 1980, authorized DOE to construct and operate WIPP as a geologic repository. The WIPP Land Withdrawal Act (LWA) of 1992 designated the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as the primary regulator, and established regulatory conditions and standards. The EPA established radiation protection standards and repository certification/recertification requirements that must be revisited every five years from the first receipt of waste. EPA certified that WIPP would meet these conditions and standards in May 1998 following review of the WIPP Compliance Certification Application. In March 1999, WIPP received the first shipment of TRU waste. In March of 2004 WIPP celebrated five years of safe and environmentally compliant operations and submitted documentation to re-certify WIPP. The WIPP repository is located 48 kilometers east of Carlsbad, New Mexico, and consists of rooms and tunnels excavated in a bedded salt formation, 655 meters below the land surface. TRU waste contains alpha-emitting radionuclides with atomic numbers greater than that of uranium (92) and has a half-life greater than 20 years in concentrations greater than 100 nanocuries per gram of waste. Most TRU waste is contaminated sludge and refuse from production of nuclear weapons, research and development, decontamination and decommissioning, and environmental restoration programs. The repository safety strategy relies on the physical properties of the salt beds to provide permanent isolation of the emplaced waste. For added containment assurance magnesium oxide (MgO) is emplaced with the waste to provide a chemical barrier and ensure minimal migration of radionuclides released. Over the past five years of WIPP operations several technical and programmatic changes have taken place. The compliance recertification application incorporates information and analysis from the WIPP certification, reflects the last five years of operations and changes, and presents an updated performance assessment based on additional data gathered from continued scientific studies and performance confirmation monitoring.

T1 - Overview of US Department of Energy total system performance assessment for a Yucca Mountain repository
AN - 51695930; 2005-053553
AB - Total System Performance Assessment (TSPA) is the use of numerical models representing natural processes to evaluate the future performance of natural and engineered components of the repository system. Future performance, in this context, means performance after the operational period and the emplacement of final seals. The basis for developing a TSPA is data collected during surface-based, underground, and laboratory tests and studies; measurements and interpretations by scientific experts; selected information from documented studies; and information related to the engineered barriers and the repository design. The numerical models are developed based on the laws and principles of chemistry and physics, where possible, augmented by empirical studies where necessary, and represent processes relevant to the system using data from field investigations and laboratory studies. The TSPA is a key component of the License Application being submitted by the US Department of Energy (DOE) to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The NRC must be able to find, on the basis of DOE's demonstration, that there is reasonable expectation that nuclear waste can be disposed of safely for many thousands of years without posing an unacceptable risk to public health and safety. TSPA results include an evaluation of uncertainties inherent in assessing long-term repository performance. Uncertainties are introduced by spatial and temporal variability in current and future site conditions, and the complexity of the coupled physical and chemical processes operating in a repository over time. Results from computational models are not a precise prediction of the actual performance of a repository. However, although significant uncertainties exist, there will be confidence in the safety of the system if there is a comfortable margin between pessimistically predicted results and the regulatory definitions of safety, plus additional evidence, e.g., natural or other analogs supporting the credibility of the analyses.

AN - 51693693; 2005-053554
AB - Before undertaking a rigorous analysis, the task of predicting the future behavior of a geological repository for radioactive waste appears extremely difficult. The difficulty arises from the need to deal with a vast array of uncertainties in the evolution of the natural environment as well as the human behavior in the long-term future. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed a methodology for dealing with the uncertainties in this process and has codified it in the Code of Federal Regulations Title 40 Part 191 for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) and in 40 CFR 197 for the proposed Yucca Mountain repository for high-level radioactive waste. The WIPP, a repository for defense transuranic (TRU) waste in southeastern New Mexico, successfully demonstrated compliance with the EPA standards in 1998, and has submitted documentation to the EPA, demonstrating continued compliance for the first 5-year recertification in 2004. The methodology for such demonstration consisted of a rigorous process of collecting geological and hydrogeological data at the site; compiling an exhaustive list of natural and human induced features, events, and processes that may affect the integrity of the site for the EPA prescribed 10,000 years; and probabilistic analysis of what may happen and what would be the consequences to the human beings and the environment for 10,000 years. The analyses included the impact of inadvertent direct drilling in to the repository by future generations. Scenarios that appeared potentially catastrophic prior to rigorous probabilistic analyses were not found to result in unacceptable radiation doses to the future generations when the mechanics of such exposure was carefully analyzed and put in probabilistic terms to rationally deal with uncertainties in such long-term predictions. While the worst scenarios at WIPP involved inadvertent human intrusion due to the presence of oil, gas, and potash resources at the site, the Yucca Mountain performance assessment will have to deal with the potential effect of geological disruptive events such as seismicity and volcanism. Preliminary indications from the Yucca Mountain are that there, like WIPP, the detailed analyses of potential future disruptions yield less hazardous results than what appears at the outset before analyzing the scenarios in detail.

T1 - Geologic, hydrologic and geochemical features, events and processes (FEPS) that could affect waste isolation at the proposed Yucca Mountain repository; U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) risk-insights baseline study
AN - 51669399; 2005-065878
AB - The NRC staff has developed insights into the significance of geologic, hydrologic and geochemical features (e.g., hydrologic properties of unsaturated zone; quantity and chemistry of seepage water; transport distance in saturated alluvium; ash production by an eruption), events (e.g., infiltration; climatic change; faulting; igneous activity; transient percolation; seismic loading) and processes (e.g., matrix diffusion; colloidal transport) that could either affect a large number of radioactive-waste disposal packages, or significantly affect radionuclide releases from waste packages, or could significantly affect the transport of radionuclides through the geosphere and biosphere at Yucca Mountain, Nevada (YM). The significance to waste isolation of natural system FEPs is based upon review of and experience with total system performance assessments, subsystem analyses, auxiliary calculations. These analyses estimate the capability of the site to isolate waste. Integrity of waste packages, slow releases of radionuclides from degraded waste packages, and long travel times due to expected pathway characteristics contribute to waste isolation. The geologic, hydrologic and geochemical FEPs that result in a significant impact on waste isolation capability and associated with the dose-based performance criteria (regulations in Title 10 of U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Part 63, "Disposal of High-Level Radioactive Wastes in a Proposed Geologic Repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada"), help focus the NRC staff's review of the U.S. Department of Energy's potential license application to construct a high-level radioactive waste repository at YM. The NRC staff views expressed herein are preliminary and do not constitute a final judgment or determination of the matters addressed or of the acceptability of a license application for a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain.

T1 - Conducting the review of a license application for a repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
AN - 51666469; 2005-071799
AB - Disposal of high-level nuclear waste requires a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license. Part 63 under Title 10 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (i.e., 10 CFR 63, "Disposal of High-Level Radioactive Wastes in a Proposed Geologic Repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada") prescribes rules governing the licensing (including issuance of a construction authorization) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposed repository. The licensing regulations are risk-informed and performance-based. The staff has developed the Yucca Mountain Review Plan to guide the review of any DOE license application for a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain. The NRC will determine whether to issue a construction authorization and license for the proposed repository based, in part, on whether the DOE has demonstrated compliance with the performance objectives. The NRC has a congressional mandate that the agency reach a determination within three years on the DOE's application for construction authorization for a high-level radioactive waste repository. Subpart J of 10 CFR 2 ("Procedures Applicable to Proceedings for the Issuance of Licenses for the Receipt of High-Level Radioactive Waste at a Geologic Repository") contain the rules of practice for the licensing proceeding. NRC staff has developed an information architecture to aid in conducting the licensing proceeding. To shorten the time spent on the exchange of documents that may be used as evidence in the NRC licensing proceeding, the interested governmental participants as well as parties and potential parties to the hearing on the DOE application will make their documents available via the Internet, through the Licensing Support Network (LSN), before any DOE license application is submitted to the NRC. Other parts of the NRC's information architecture include provisions for electronic information exchange, an electronic hearing docket, and an electronic courtroom. These systems and the risk-informed review process will be further described in the presentation. The NRC staff views expressed herein are preliminary and do not constitute a final judgment or determination of the matters addressed or of the acceptability of a license application for a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain.

T1 - Conceptual model development and identification of groundwater pathways for monitoring system design at a nuclear materials processing facility using 3D geospatial models
AN - 51625000; 2006-020088
AB - Knowledge of groundwater flow and transport pathways is essential for designing optimal monitoring systems, yet detailed pathway data are commonly not collected during initial site characterization and therefore not incorporated into early conceptual models. We present an approach for identifying site-specific groundwater pathways which involves construction of alternative conceptual 3D geohydrologic framework and property models using a former nuclear materials processing facility in Oklahoma as an example. The models formed a basis for monitoring system design at the site. The geohydrologic framework model contains three hydrostratigrahic zones, corresponding to aquifer systems in which groundwater has been sampled since 1991. The terrace groundwater system (TGWS) aquifer (uppermost zone) is made up of terrace and alluvial deposits and a basal shale. A sandstone aquitard separates TGWS from the underlying shallow groundwater system (SGWS) aquifer (middle zone), composed of three shale units and two discontinuous sandstones. SGWS is separated from the underlying deep groundwater system (DGWS) aquifer (lowest zone) by another sandstone aquitard. Terrace and alluvial deposits form a perched aquifer and fractured shales are continuous water-bearing units. TGWS and SGWS aquifers were contaminated during facility operation by spills and leaks of nitric acid processing solutions containing uranium ore constituents. Radioactive materials were also leached from discarded equipment and waste containers. Based on analysis of 3D models, site-specific groundwater pathways were identified. Lateral transport of uranium was indicated in TGWS along a buried erosional channel in bedrock trending south-southwest from the main processing building (MPB). Arsenic and nitrate greater than EPA MCLs also occur along this channel in TGWS and SGWS. Another pathway atop bedrock, trending west-northwest from the MPB, showed lateral migration of nitrate and arsenic in SGWS. Lateral movement of nitrate and arsenic in SGWS was indicated north and west from the largest holding pond at the site. As a result of delineation of these pathways, they were more carefully characterized by trenching and resistivity and new monitoring wells installed. The site conceptual model developed by hydrologic modelers was also modified.

T1 - Testing claims about volcanic disruption of a potential geologic repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
AN - 51616733; 2006-023909
AB - A special use of geologic data is to evaluate low probability/high consequence events. We examine volcanism near Yucca Mountain (YM), a potential repository for disposal of high-level radioactive waste. Recent studies suggest that basaltic dikes could penetrate the repository with a frequency as high as 1E-6/yr. Our analysis raises doubts about such claims. More realistic models are developed based on non-detection of dikes in the potential repository footprint and analyses of known Pleistocene volcanism. First, using a statistical analysis, penetration frequencies > 2E-7/yr are not consistent with the non-detection of dikes in the footprint. Second, using NRC's Probabilistic Volcanic Hazard Assessment (PVHA) code [Connor et al., JGR, 2000], we analyzed 10 datasets, 8 of which include 5-15 magnetic anomalies that are assumed to be buried basalts. Claims of high penetration frequency fail recurrence tests at time scales of 1 Myr and 100 kyr. For a repository intrusion frequency of 1E-6/yr in the last 1 Myr, an expected 40-96 volcanos would have erupted in the region (80-192 without gravity weighting); only 8 Pleistocene events are known (recurrence rate 4.4/Myr). We also test whether the 80 kyr Lathrop Wells Volcano began a new volcanism pulse. For a penetration frequency of 1E-6/yr, the PVHA code indicates 4-10 (8-19 without gravity weighting) volcanic events would be expected in the last 100 kyr; only 1 is known. There is uncertainty about the numbers of Pliocene and Miocene events near YM because of the longer time available for physical erosion and burial by alluvium and younger volcanics. Using the more reliable Pleistocene data (8 events in 1.8 Myr) and the PVHA code with zero gravity weighting, the frequency of dike intersection is 5.4E-8/yr with a 95% upper confidence bound of 9.7E-8/yr. If additional Pliocene basalts exist undetected in the alluvial basins, that would be further evidence of the decline in post-Pliocene activity. [The views expressed herein are the authors'.

T1 - Elevation change of the Antarctic ice sheet, 1995-2000, from ERS-2 satellite radar altimetry
AN - 51607607; 2006-028848
AB - We analyzed Antarctic ice-sheet elevation change (dH/dt) from 1995 to 2000 using 123 million elevation change measurements from European Remote Sensing 2 ice-mode satellite radar altimeter data covering an area of about 7.2 million km (super 2) . Almost all drainage basins in east Antarctica had average dH/dt values within + or -3.0 cm/year, whereas drainage basins in west Antarctica had substantial spatial variability with average dH/dt values ranging between -11 to +12 cm/year. The east Antarctic ice sheet had a five-year trend of 1+ or -0.6 cm/year, where 13 out of the 14 basins had either a positive trend or a trend that was not significantly different than zero. The west Antarctic ice sheet had a five-year trend of -3.6+ or -1.0 cm/year due largely to strong negative trends of around 10 cm/year for basins in Marie Byrd Land along the Pacific sector of the Antarctic coast. The continent as a whole had a five-year dH/dt trend of 0.4+ or -0.4 cm/year. Finally, time series constructed for the Pine Island, Thwaites, DeVicq, and Land glaciers in west Antarctic showed five-year dH/dt trends from -26 to -135 cm/year that were significantly more negative than the average dH/dt trends in their respective basins. The strongly negative dH/dt values for these coastal glacier outlets are consistent with recently reported results indicating increased basal melting at these glaciers' grounding lines caused by ocean thermal forcing.

T1 - An autoregressive model for analysis of ice sheet elevation change time series
AN - 51607085; 2006-028847
AB - In this paper, we present an autoregressive model that can effectively characterize both seasonal and interannual variations in ice sheet elevation change time series constructed from satellite radar or laser altimeter data. The AR model can be used in conjunction with weighted least squares regression to accurately estimate any longer term linear trend present in the cyclically varying elevation change time series. This approach is robust in that it can account for seasonal and interannual elevation change variations, missing points in the time series, signal aperiodicity, time series heteroscedasticity, and time series with a noninteger number of yearly cycles. In addition, we derive a theoretically valid estimate of the uncertainty (standard error) in the long-term linear trend. Monte Carlo simulations were conducted that closely emulated actual characteristics of five-year elevation change time series from Antarctica. The Monte Carlo results indicate that the autoregressive approach yields long-term linear trends that are less biased than two other approaches that have been recently used for analysis of ice sheet elevation change time series. In addition, the simulation results demonstrate that the variability (uncertainty) of the long-term linear trend estimates from the AR approach is in very good agreement with the derived theoretical standard error estimates.

T1 - Transgenic Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) Plants with Increased Expression Levels of Mitochondrial NADP super(+)-dependent Isocitrate Dehydrogenase: Evidence Implicating this Enzyme in the Redox Activation of the Alternative Oxidase
AN - 17761767; 6093413
AB - Many metabolic reactions are coupled to NADPH in the mitochondrial matrix, including those involved in thiol group reduction. One enzyme linked to such processes is mitochondrial NADP super(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (mtICDH; EC 1.1.1.42), although the precise role of this enzyme is not yet known. Previous work has implicated mtICDH as part of a biochemical mechanism to reductively activate the alternative oxidase (AOX). We have partially purified mtICDH from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Petit Havana SR1) cell suspension cultures and localized this to a 46-kDa protein on SDS-PAGE, which was verified by peptide sequencing. In the inflorescence of the aroid Sauromatum guttatum Schott (voodoo lily), mtICDH appears to be developmentally regulated, presenting maximal specific activity during the thermogenic period of anthesis when the capacity for AOX respiration is also at its peak. Transgenic tobacco plants were generated that overexpress mtICDH and lines were obtained that demonstrated up to a 7-fold increase in mtICDH activity. In isolated mitochondria, this resulted in a measurable increase in the reductive activation of AOX in comparison with wild type. When examined in planta in response to citrate feeding, a strong conversion of AOX from its oxidized to its reduced form was observed in the transgenic line. These data support the hypothesis that mtICDH may be a regulatory switch involved in tricarboxylic acid cycle flux and the reductive modulation of AOX.

T1 - Influences of Magnesium tri-Silicate on the Physical, Mechanical, and Degradable Properties of Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation Cured Plain Board Surface
AN - 831180117; 13882656
AB - A series of formulations were prepared with different percentages of oligomer, epoxy diacrylate (EA-1020 ), monomer, 1,6 Hexane diol diacrylate,(HDDA) and different percentages of filler (Magnesium tri-silicate, Mg sub(2)Si sub(3)O sub(8)). Irgacure 369 [2-Benzyl-2-dimethyl-amine-1 (4-morpholinophenyl) butanone-1] was used in the formulations as photoinitiator. Ultraviolet (UV) cured thin polymer films were prepared from these formulating solutions on clean glass plates. Pendulum hardness (PH), gel content and macro scratch hardness (MSH) of the UV cured films were studied. One percent Mg sub(2)Si sub(3)O sub(8) containing formulation showed the premium properties. The substrates (plain board) were coated by these formulating solutions and cured under the same UV lamp at different intensities of radiation. Various properties of the coated surface such as PH, gloss, adhesion, abrasion and MSH were investigated. The base coat containing 1% Mg sub(2)Si sub(3)O sub(8) and top coat containing 48% HDDA produced the best performance among all the formulations inspected. The degradable properties in different weathering conditions on PH, gloss, adhesion, abrasion and MSH were measured. The surface cured with the optimized formulation (E) again yielded the minimum loss of the properties.

T1 - DOE's mercury control technology R&D program;
AN - 232487186
AB - A number of approaches for controlling mercury emissions from coal-fired power generating systems have progressed from the laboratory to the bench top. Now some of them are being tested on the flue gas of operating coal-fired boilers. The DOE is providing a maximum of 75% of the cost of carrying out these tests, with the private sector (equipment developers, utilities, and EPRI) covering the balance. Perhaps the most promising family of technologies emerging from DOE's field testing program is sorbent injection technology - in particular, activated carbon injection (ACI). In ACI, activated carbon is injected into flue gas to adsorb gaseous mercury. The activated carbon is then collected in a downstream particulate control device such as an electrostatic precipitator or baghouse.

T1 - Phased approach to achieving PRA quality
AN - 19640594; 7371726
AB - The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) risk informed approach to regulation uses insights from probabilistic risk assessments (PRAs), along with traditional deterministic requirements to help focus regulatory and licensee attention on safety significant issues. PRA quality is a key contributor to the success of this regulatory strategy. A phased approach to achievement of state of the art PRA quality is described, which the NRC believes will support the continued use of risk informed decision making while encouraging progress in improving the scope, level of detail and technical adequacy of PRA models. The phased approach also includes development of consensus standards and associated guidance to promote a common understanding, between the NRC and its licensees, of the definition of PRA quality, and to establish the NRC's expectations concerning licensee PRAs. Anticipated outcomes of the phased approach include consistent processes for PRA development, efficiency in regulatory decision making, and improved licensee and NRC understanding of the most important contributors to plant safety.

AN - 19640249; 7371719
AB - The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) systematically assesses and screens all nuclear power reactor related events, reports and data to determine their significance and need for additional evaluation. This operating experience information is collected, evaluated, communicated and applied to support the NRC's goal of ensuring safety; to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and realism of NRC decisions; and to provide the public, Congress and other external stakeholders with accurate, timely and balanced information regarding operating experience, including actual or potential hazards to health and safety. The industry trends programme monitors trends in indicators of industry performance as a means to confirm that the safety of operating power plants is being maintained. The NRC assesses the safety significance and causes of any statistically significant adverse industry trends, determines if the trends represent an actual degradation in overall industry safety performance, and responds appropriately to any safety issues that may be identified.

T1 - Safe Long Term Operation of Water Moderated Reactors - the need to index, integrate and implement existing international databases
AN - 19635414; 7371727
AB - In response to an increasing number of nuclear installations pursuing extended operations beyond their initial design life, the IAEA recently initiated an Extrabudgetary Programme on Safety Aspects of Long Term Operation of Water-Moderated Reactors (SALTO EBP) to assist Member States to reconcile related processes, establish a general framework and provide a forum to develop international consensus on long term operation (LTO). The IAEA Programme and the paper address periodic safety reviews (PSR) and different approaches to ensuring adequate safety margins, regulatory approaches for LTO, balancing power uprates versus maintaining safety margins, and the need to address the monitoring, mitigation, replacement and ageing management programmes of active and passive systems, structures and components. The SALTO EBP addresses concepts such as life cycle management, obsolescence management, preconditions for LTO, ageing management, life extension and licence renewal under the rubric of 'long term operation'. Mandated to look for cross-cutting LTO similarities, the SALTO EBP is divided into four Working Groups with a focus on indexing, integrating and implementing the great wealth of existing international databases to ultimately create a 'living' guidance document, regularly updated with new lessons learned from all Member States to ensure that major safety issues are addressed. One such database, now being revised and expanded to a relational database format, is the Generic Ageing Lessons Learned (GALL) Report that catalogues plant structures and components; lists the materials, environments, ageing effects and mechanisms; and documents Nuclear Regulatory Commission evaluation of existing plant programmes that can mitigate or manage these ageing effects. With continuing long term support, this Programme can create an International GALL (IGALL) database that Member States can use to evaluate the safety of nuclear plant LTO. Due to the variability of Member States laws and regulations, IGALL may be supplemented by national or regional documents that address specific regulatory environments.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLAND, UNITS NO. 1 AND 2, BERRIEN COUNTY, MICHIGAN (TWENTIETH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36439877; 11177
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, located on the shore of Lake Michigan in Berrien County, Michigan is proposed to extend the licensed lives of the units for an additional 20 years in this 20th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, Indiana Michigan Power Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 licenses are not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current licenses, which will occur on October 25, 2004 for Unit 1 and December 23, 2017 for Unit 2. The power station, which is located within in a 650-acre site on the shores of Lake Michigan, consists of two units, each of which is equipped with a four-loop pressurized water reactor designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a once-through cooling system withdrawing and discharging water to the Monticello Reservoir, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and A steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. Units 1 and 2 are rated at 3,304 megawatts (MW)-thermal and 3,468 MW-thermal, with corresponding electrical outputs of approximately 1,044 MW-electric and 1,117 MW-electric, respectively. Units 1 and 2 reactors were placed into service in August 1975 and July 1978, respectively, are housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Non-radioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Six 345-kilovolt and one 745-kilovolt transmission lines connect the units to the regional transmission grid; the lines extend an overall length of 227 miles. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Lake Michigan and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from 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. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

T1 - NATIONAL ENRICHMENT FACILITY IN LEA COUNTY, NEW MEXICO.
AN - 36440292; 11158
AB - PURPOSE: The issuance to Louisiana Energy Services (LES) of a license for the construction and operation of a gas centrifuge uranium enrichment facility near Eunice in Lea County, New Mexico is proposed. New power plants are currently supplying approximately 20 percent of the nation's electricity requirements, but only approximately 15 and 14 percent of the enrichment services that were purchased by US nuclear reactors in 2002 and 2003, respectively, were provided by enrichment plants located in the United States, Currently, the only uranium enrichment facility in operating in the country is located in Paducah, Kentucky, imposing reliability risks for the supply of generated enriched uranium. The current administration's energy policy, which was released in May 2001, recognized the need for the NEF and stated the importance of having a reliable source of enriched uranium for natural energy security purposes. The proposed facility, to be known as the National Enrichment Facility (NEF), would produce enriched uranium-235 by the gas centrifuge process, with a production capacity of 3.0 million separative work units per year. The enriched uranium would be used in commercial nuclear power plants. The license to be issued would authorize LES to possess and us special nuclear material, source material, and byproduct material at the NEF site, which would be constructed on land for which a 35-year easement has been granted by the state of New Mexico. If the license were approved, facility construction would begin in 2006 and continue for eight years through 2013. NEF operations would begin in 2008, with peak production capacity being achieved in 2013. Operations would continue at peak production until approximately nine years before the license expired, at which time decommissioning activities would be phased in, with completion of decommissioning by 2036. In addition to the NEF licensing proposed alternative, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative. Cost of construction of the NEF is estimated at $1.2 billion in 2002 dollars. Decontamination and containment costs are estimated at $837.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The NEF would provide an additional, reliable, and economically viable domestic source of enrichment services. The facility would contribute to the attainment of natural energy security policy objectives by providing for an additional source of low-enriched uranium. The NEF would produce 25 percent of the current and projected demand for enrichment services within the United States. The construction-related labor boost would peak at approximately 800 jobs, NEF operation would create 210 new jobs, and decommissioning activities would employ 180 workers. Tax revenues accruing primarily to the state would amount to $177 million to $212 million over the life of the facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would affect 200 acres of a 543-acre site, the entirety of which would be fenced. Pipelines and cattle grazing uses within the site would have to be relocated. Cooling towers associated with the NEF would contribute slightly to the extent of fog in the area, and the facility site received the lowest scenic quality rating used by the Bureau of Land Management. Two of the seven archaeological sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be affected by NEF construction, and a third site would be located along an access road. 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 National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would affect 200 acres of a 543-acre site, the entirety of which would be fenced. Pipelines and cattle grazing uses within the site would have to be relocated. Cooling towers associated with the NEF would contribute slightly to the extent of fog in the area, and the facility site received the lowest scenic quality rating used by the Bureau of Land Management. Two of the seven archaeological sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be affected by NEF construction, and a third site would be located along an access road. 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 National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNIT 2, POPE COUNTY, ARKANSAS (NINETEENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT
AN - 36436254; 11151
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2 (ANO-2) in southwestern Pope County, Arkansas for an additional 20 years is proposed in this 19th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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 neither 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-2 are addressed in this draft supplement. 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 is 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 is not renewed, ANO-2 would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is July 17, 2018. 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-2 has a Combustion Engineering nuclear steam supply system and a o-loop reactor system rated for an output of 2,815 megawatts-thermal (MW(t) in 1980. In 2002, an increase to a maximum reactor core power level of 3,026 MW(t) was authorized, bringing the rated net electrical power output up to 1,048 MW. The unit's condensers utilize a closed-cycle cooling system equipped with a natural-draft cooling tower to dissipate waste heat to the atmosphere. The service water system is the source of cooling water for the closed-loop component of the cooling system, cooling tower makeup water and, if necessary, the emergency cooling pond. For the ANO02 service water system, water is drawn from the Illoins Bayou arm of Lake Dardanelle through a 4,400-foot-long canal at an average rate of 23 million gallon per day. 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. The ANO 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: Operation of ANO-2 would continue to remove water from Lake Dardanelle. 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 radio-nuclides 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

T1 - Radiation protection education and training programmes in the Syrian Arab Republic - National needs and regional solutions
AN - 19719817; 7520987
AB - Education and training in radiation protection are the main methodologies used to ensure the proper application of the IAEA Safety Standards. In some countries, where there is widespread use of radiation sources and radiation generators, a national training centre can be the way to develop skills and sustain education and training programmes. However, for developing countries with few radiation sources and generators (e.g. countries in West Asia), a fully functioning and adequately staffed and equipped national training centre in each country might not be justified and, more importantly, may be difficult to sustain. The solution in this case has to be the establishment of regional training centres, which can be sustained collectively among Member States in the region or with the assistance of the IAEA. The centre will be able to fulfil the national and regional needs in terms of radiation protection and the safe use of radiation sources, and will constitute an important and essential element for a sustainable education and training programme. A good example is the West Asia Regional Training Centre in the Syrian Arab Republic, where significant national, regional and inter-regional training has been conducted with the support of the IAEA.

T1 - Implementation of the Model Project - Experience of peer review assessment missions
AN - 19707731; 7520983
AB - The Model Project approach introduced in 1994 was based upon five objectives called milestones, developed to facilitate compliance with the requirements of the International Basic Safety Standards for Protection against Ionizing Radiation and for the Safety of Radiation Sources (BSS). The primary objective of the project, the technical co-operation Model Project for Upgrading Radiation Protection Infrastructures is to assist Member States of the IAEA to address protection, safety issues and shortcomings in safety infrastructure for the control of radiation sources. Fifty-two Member States of the IAEA were assisted from 1995 to 2000. Currently, about 80 countries are benefiting from IAEA assistance under the framework of the Model Project. Participating countries in the different regions have been divided into two groups: those focusing on national regulatory control and occupational radiation protection programmes (Milestones 1 and 2); and those focusing on the development of technical capability for sustainable radiation and waste safety infrastructure (Milestones 3, 4 and 5). Peer review assessment missions were instituted in 1999 by the IAEA to assess the effectiveness of regulatory programmes for radiation safety, and thereby enable appropriate recommendations to be made which are meant to strengthen or upgrade the programme commensurate with the extent of application of ionizing radiation and radiation sources in the assessed Member States. The IAEA, noting that many of the peer review assessment missions are of a qualitative nature, is developing, in collaboration with consultants, a quantitative assessment scheme for evaluating national infrastructures for radiation safety. This scheme makes use of infrastructure parameters, assessment criteria and a performance indicator grading scheme to quantify and assess the progress in achieving compliance with the performance criterion for each of the infrastructure parameters of the milestones. The paper focuses on findings and recommendations of peer review assessment missions regarding the status of implementation of Milestones 1 and 2 and key issues for discussion.

T1 - Evaluation of Bioaccumulation and Photo-induced Toxicity of Fluoranthene in Larval and Adult Life-Stages of Chironomus tentans
AN - 19416614; 6282307
AB - Laboratory sediment tests were conducted to evaluate the bioaccumulation and photo-induced toxicity of fluoranthene in larval and adult life-stages of the midge, Chironomus tentans. In the first of 2 experiments, fourth-instar and adult C. tentans exposed to spiked sediments (204 mu g fluoranthene/g dry weight) were collected for determination of fluoranthene tissue concentrations and toxicity after ultraviolet (UV) radiation treatment in the absence of sediment (water-only). Fluoranthene tissue concentrations in larvae collected after a 72-hour exposure period were 7 times greater than concentrations in adults collected on emergence from the same spiked sediments. Fluoranthene-exposed adults were tolerant of UV exposure (100% survival after 7 hours), whereas larvae were sensitive (0% survival after 1 hour). In the second experiment, C. tentans larvae were exposed for 96 hours to 2 sediment treatments (170 and 54 mu g fluoranthene/g dry weight), after which fluoranthene tissue concentrations were determined and UV exposures conducted under water-only versus sediment conditions. Exposure to UV radiation, in conjunction with sediment, provided larvae with significant protection from photo-induced toxicity compared with the water-only exposure. Adults that emerged from the 2 sediment treatments were also analyzed for fluoranthene tissue residues and exposed to UV radiation. Fluoranthene tissue residues were higher in adult female than in adult male midges, but exuviae from both sexes contained higher fluoranthene concentrations than whole-body tissue, thus demonstrating that the molting process is a possible detoxification mechanism. Consistent with the greater tissue residue concentrations, female midges demonstrated a significant decrease in survival under UV exposure compared with male midges. These studies indicated that both the burrowing behavior of the larvae and the elimination of fluoranthene in molted exuviae are protective mechanisms against photo-enhanced PAH toxicity in this species.

T1 - Progress in permanent geologic disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste in the United States
AN - 16199277; 6539373
AB - The mission of the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) of the US Department of Energy (DOE) is to manage and dispose of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste in a manner that protects health, safety and the environment, enhances national and energy security and merits public confidence. Consolidation of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste from 126 sites in 39 states and safe disposal at Yucca Mountain are vital to the US national interests. The US geologic repository programme's key objective remains to begin receiving spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste at the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensed Yucca Mountain repository in 2010. To achieve this objective, the DOE must, in less than 7 years, seek and secure authorization to construct the repository from the NRC, begin constructing the repository and receive a license amendment allowing receipt of radioactive materials and operation of the repository. DOE must also develop a transportation system to ship spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste from civilian and defence storage sites to the repository. This paper describes near-term efforts in developing the license application and transportation system. Successfully licensing, constructing and operating a repository will rely on information gained from more than two decades of scientific investigations at the Yucca Mountain site, all of which contribute to the technical basis for understanding the repository system. This paper also summarizes ongoing and completed in situ testing in the exploratory studies facility (ESF) and cross-drift. The ESF, a U-shaped tunnel approximately 7.9 km long and about 300 m below the crest of Yucca Mountain, has been used extensively to conduct tests in 13 alcoves and niches and to access a smaller cross-drift, 5 m in diameter and 2.7 km long.

T1 - Radiation protection challenges facing the federal agencies
AN - 16183005; 6009671
AB - In the United States, federal agencies are responsible for setting national policy and performance expectations for radiation protection programs. National policy establishes a regulatory regime, under which society can realize the beneficial uses of radiation while at the same time protecting workers, the public, and environment from the potential hazards of radiation. The challenges facing federal agencies continue to revolve around finding the right balance between benefit and adverse impact. Federal agencies are petitioned to support the research community to provide a sound scientific basis for informing the decision-making process related to radiation protection policy. The federal agencies are further challenged to consider the deliberations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) who bring together the best technical minds in the field to consider the latest scientific information and provide recommendations for establishing comprehensive and coherent radiation protection programs. The uncertainty inherent in research and the conservatism in the models and recommendations of the ICRP and NCRP should be transparent and communicated because determining the level of uncertainty and the degree of conservatism acceptable to society is a challenge for, and the responsibility of, the federal agencies in creating performance-based policies in public health and radiation protection. It is through the federal government's open, inclusive, and democratic processes where society strikes the balance that defines adequate radiation protection policy, builds public trust, and allows the radiation protection professionals to properly implement and manage that policy.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: HOUSTON COUNTY, ALABAMA. (EIGHTEENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36437551; 11104
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, In Houston County, Alabama is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 18th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration dates of the current licenses, which are June 25, 2017 for Unit 1 and March 31, 2021 for Unit 2. The power station is located within in a 500-acre site in miles on the west bank of the Chattahoochee River in southeastern Alabama, five miles north of Gordon, 17 miles east of Dothan, and 100 miles southeast of Montgomery consists of two units equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a closed-loop cooling system that withdrawals from to the Chattachoche River; a small portion of the process water may be discharged to the river during periods of low flow. Each unit is rated at 2,775 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 910 MW-electric. The reactor which was upgraded in 1997, is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Non-radioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Five transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Chattahoochee River and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Occasional release of water to the river from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near-shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from 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. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

T1 - The Regional Nature of PM2.5 Episodes in the Upper Ohio River Valley
AN - 20628316; 6248547
AB - From October 1999 through September 2000, particulate matter (PM) with aerodynamic diameter >2.5 um (PM2.5) mass and composition were measured at the National Energy Technology Laboratory Pittsburgh site, with a particle concentrator Brigham Young University-organic sampling system and a tapered element oscillating microbalance (TEOM) monitor. PM2.5 measurements had also been obtained with TEOM monitors located in the Pittsburgh, PA, area, and at sites in Ohio, including Steubenville, Columbus, and Athens. The PM data from all these sites were analyzed on high PM days; PM2.5 TEOM particulate mass at all sites was generally associated with transitions from locally high barometric pressure to lower pressure. Elevated concentrations occurred with transport of PM from outside the local region in advance of frontal passages as the local pressure decreased. During highpressure periods, concentrations at the study sites were generally low throughout the study region. Further details related to this transport were obtained from surface weather maps and estimated back-trajectories using the hybrid single-particle Lagrangian integrated trajectory model associated with these time periods. These analyses indicated that transport of pollutants to the Pittsburgh site was generally from the west to the southwest. These results suggest that the Ohio River Valley and possible regions beyond act as a significant source of PM and its precursors in the Pittsburgh area and at the other regional sites included in this study.

T1 - An evaluation of risk methods for prioritizing fire protection features: a procedure for fire barrier penetration seals
AN - 17760427; 6157250
AB - This paper generally evaluates risk methods available for prioritizing fire protection features. Risk methods involving both the use of qualitative insights, and quantitative results from a fire probabilistic risk analysis are reviewed. The applicability of these methods to develop a prioritized list of fire barrier penetration seals in a plant based on risk significance is presented as a procedure to illustrate the benefits of the methods. The paper concludes that current fire risk assessment methods can be confidently used to prioritize plant fire protection features, specifically fire barrier penetration seals. Simple prioritization schemes, using qualitative assessments and insights from fire PRA methodology may be implemented without the need for quantitative results. More elaborate prioritization schemes that allow further refinements to the categorization process may be implemented using the quantitative results of the screening processes in good fire PRAs. The use of the quantitative results from good fire PRAs provide several benefits for risk prioritization of fire protection features at plants, mainly from the plant systems analyses conducted for a fire PRA.

T1 - Oak forest carbon and water simulations: Model intercomparisons and evaluations against independent data
AN - 17604860; 6015664
AB - Models represent our primary method for integration of small-scale, process-level phenomena into a comprehensive description of forest-stand or ecosystem function. They also represent a key method for testing hypotheses about the response of forest ecosystems to multiple changing environmental conditions. This paper describes the evaluation of 13 stand-level models varying in their spatial, mechanistic, and temporal complexity for their ability to capture intra- and interannual components of the water and carbon cycle for an upland, oak-dominated forest of eastern Tennessee. Comparisons between model simulations and observations were conducted for hourly, daily, and annual time steps. Data for the comparisons were obtained from a wide range of methods including: eddy covariance, sapflow, chamber-based soil respiration, biometric estimates of stand-level net primary production and growth, and soil water content by time or frequency domain reflectometry. Response surfaces of carbon and water flux as a function of environmental drivers, and a variety of goodness-of-fit statistics (bias, absolute bias, and model efficiency) were used to judge model performance. A single model did not consistently perform the best at all time steps or for all variables considered. Intermodel comparisons showed good agreement for water cycle fluxes, but considerable disagreement among models for predicted carbon fluxes. The mean of all model outputs, however, was nearly always the best fit to the observations. Not surprisingly, models missing key forest components or processes, such as roots or modeled soil water content, were unable to provide accurate predictions of ecosystem responses to short-term drought phenomenon. Nevertheless, an inability to correctly capture short-term physiological processes under drought was not necessarily an indicator of poor annual water and carbon budget simulations. This is possible because droughts in the subject ecosystem were of short duration and therefore had a small cumulative impact. Models using hourly time steps and detailed mechanistic processes, and having a realistic spatial representation of the forest ecosystem provided the best predictions of observed data. Predictive ability of all models deteriorated under drought conditions, suggesting that further work is needed to evaluate and improve ecosystem model performance under unusual conditions, such as drought, that are a common focus of environmental change discussions.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, ROCK ISLAND COUNTY, ILLINOIS. (SIXTEENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36435877; 10863
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station Rock Island County, Illinois is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 16th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, South Carolina Electric and Gas Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 unit in this supplement to the final EIS. One issue was identified as potentially significant, specifically, electric shock from induced current along transmission line corridors. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which August 14, 2012. The power station, which is located within a 871-acre site on the east bank of Pool 14 of the Mississippi River between Lock and Dams 13 and 14, consists of two units equipped with nuclear steam supply systems, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that use boiling water reactors, once-through condenser cooling systems that withdrawal from and discharge to Pool 14, closed-cycle cooling water systems, and steam generators connected to the reactor vessel. Each unit is rated at 2,957 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 930 MW-electric. Units 1 and 2, which were respectively placed in service in February and March of 1983, are refueled on a 24-month schedule. The reactors are housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Five 345-kilovolt transmission lines, with a combined length of approximately 110 miles, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Pool 14 and deliver makeup water back to the pool. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the impoundment. 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. 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).

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, ROCK ISLAND COUNTY, ILLINOIS. (SIXTEENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 1 of 1]
T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, ROCK ISLAND COUNTY, ILLINOIS. (SIXTEENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36370157; 10863-040312_0001
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station Rock Island County, Illinois is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 16th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, South Carolina Electric and Gas Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 unit in this supplement to the final EIS. One issue was identified as potentially significant, specifically, electric shock from induced current along transmission line corridors. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which August 14, 2012. The power station, which is located within a 871-acre site on the east bank of Pool 14 of the Mississippi River between Lock and Dams 13 and 14, consists of two units equipped with nuclear steam supply systems, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that use boiling water reactors, once-through condenser cooling systems that withdrawal from and discharge to Pool 14, closed-cycle cooling water systems, and steam generators connected to the reactor vessel. Each unit is rated at 2,957 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 930 MW-electric. Units 1 and 2, which were respectively placed in service in February and March of 1983, are refueled on a 24-month schedule. The reactors are housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Five 345-kilovolt transmission lines, with a combined length of approximately 110 miles, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Pool 14 and deliver makeup water back to the pool. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the impoundment. 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. 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).

T1 - Fish and shellfish as dietary sources of methylmercury and the omega-3 fatty acids, eicosahexaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid: risks and benefits.
AN - 66663116; 15220075
AB - Fish and shellfish supply the human diet with not only complex nutrients including the omega-3 fatty acids, but also highly toxic chemicals including methylmercury. The dietary essential fatty acids are linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid. Two omega-3 fatty acids with longer carbon chains, eicosahexaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), can be synthesized in humans from alpha-linolenic precursors. Though not required in the diet per se, EPA and DHA have important roles in metabolism. The almost exclusive source of preformed dietary DHA is fish and shellfish. These foods are also an important source of EPA. In marked contrast to the benefits of fish and shellfish as sources of preformed omega-3 fatty acids, fish and shellfish are almost exclusively the dietary source of methylmercury. Fortunately, these chemicals are not uniformly distributed across many species of fish and shellfish. The purpose of this article is to provide information on the comparative distribution of these chemicals and nutrients to help groups formulating dietary recommendations.

T1 - Cryogenic injection to control a coal waste bank fire
AN - 51684292; 2005-059054
AB - Cryogenic injection, a heat transfer method for extinguishing a subsurface fire, was tested at a bituminous coal waste bank in Midvale, OH. A slurry composed of CO (sub 2) particles in liquid N (sub 2) at a temperature of -180 degrees C, when injected into heated zones, absorbs heat. Conversion of the slurry to a gas creates a cold pressure front that forces heated combustion gases out of the bank. The waste bank had been burning for approximately 30 years. The 5000-m (super 2) (1.2 acre) site was characterized by a three-dimensional array of temperature measuring points. Temperatures were measured over a 30-month period, before during and after two tests of cryogenic injection. The amount of cryogenic slurry injected was insufficient to completely extinguish the fire, but evaluation of the temperature profiles indicated that it had cooled localized hot spots and promoted ambient cooling of the more widely disbursed heated areas within the bank.

T1 - Locating fires in abandoned underground coal mines
AN - 51684245; 2005-059053
AB - A Mine Fire Diagnostic (MFD) Methodology was developed to determine the location and extent of combustion zones in abandoned underground coal mines. In this method, a characteristic fire signature is based on the ratio of higher molecular weight hydrocarbon gases (C (sub 2) to C (sub 5) ) to total hydrocarbon gas. Initially, gas samples are obtained at the bottom of boreholes under baseline or static conditions. A second set of samples is obtained when a suction fan is used to influence the direction of gas movement. Pressure data define the degree of communication between boreholes. The value of the diagnostic ratio under communication conditions is taken as a measure of subsurface fire activity related to a particular flow direction. Using a Venn diagram technique, the results are mapped as quadrants on a borehole map of the site. Repetition of the communication tests provides overlapping quadrants that define hot, cold, and indeterminate areas. The MFD has been used to distinguish hearted and cold subsurface areas at four mine fire sites. At each of the sites, the extent of the fire could not be inferred from surface evidence, and the location of combustion zones had a significant impact on plans to control the fire. Although the method is labor intensive and requires drilling cased boreholes, it is relatively simple and provides information that cannot be obtained by other methods.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3, GRUNDY COUNTY, ILLINOIS (SEVENTEENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36439256; 10860
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for the Dresden Nuclear Power Station, units 2 and 3, in Grundy County, Illinois is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 17th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, Exelon Generation Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the licenses are 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 licenses are not renewed, units 2 and 3 the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current licenses, which expire December 22, 2009 and January 12, 2011, respectively. The power station, which is located on the south bank of the Illinois River at the confluence of the Des Plaines and Kankakee rivers in the Goose Lake Township of Grundy County, consists of two units equipped with nuclear steam supply systems, designed by General Electric Company, that use boiling water reactors; each reactor has a design rating for a net electrical power output of 912 megawatts electric. The cooling system can operate in either of two modes. In the indirect open-cycle mode,m once-through cooling water from the Kankakee River is used to remove heat from the main (turbine) condensers via the circulating water system and from other auxiliary equipment via the service water system. The heated effluent is conculated through a cooling canal and pond before being discharged to the Illinois River. In the closed-cycle mode, heated effluent is circulated through mechanical draft cooling towers, the recycled through the condensers with limited make-up water withdrawn from the Kankakee River. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Five 345-kilovolt transmission lines, extending a total of 220.5 miles, connect the power station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers; Dresden provides enough electricity to supply the needs of 350,000 industries, commercial establishments, and residences. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Kankakee River and deliver makeup water back to the Illinois River. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore and downstream aquatic ecosystems of the Illinois River. 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. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore and downstream aquatic ecosystems of the Illinois River. 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. 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).

T1 - Embedding expert knowledge in a decision model: evaluating natural attenuation at TCE sites
AN - 19671158; 5923868
AB - This paper describes a generalized methodology that enables the translation of expert knowledge about any complex process involved in a remedial decision into easy-to-use decision tools. The methodology is applied to evaluate reductive dechlorination as a remedial possibility at sites contaminated with trichloroethene (TCE), building on an existing protocol/scoring system put forth by the US Air Force and the US EPA. An alternate scoring system is proposed, which has two major advantages, namely that it: (i) attributes relative weights to findings based on expert beliefs; and (ii) systematically includes negative weights for negative findings. The ability of the proposed scoring system to assess the bioattenuation potential of TCE is demonstrated using data from extensively studied sites.

T1 - Effects of an Artery/Vascular Graft Compliance Mismatch on Protein Transport: A Numerical Study
AN - 17674566; 5960078
AB - Small-diameter vascular graft failure by intimal hyperplasia and thrombosis may result from flow disturbances and disruption of chemical transport in the fluid at the distal anastomosis, because of compliance mismatch between the graft and host artery. In previous studies, lower-than-normal wall shear stress (WSS), particle trapping, and high particle residence times were observed at the distal anastomosis due to a pulsatile tubular expansion effect caused by nonuniform radial deformations. This study was undertaken to examine effects of compliance and radius mismatch on the distribution of a model protein released at the graft-fluid interface. Finite element simulations of end-to-end vascular grafting were performed under pulsatile flow, using fluid-structure coupling to give physiologic wall displacements. Results showed that protein is convected smoothly downstream in a uniform compliant tube. A compliance mismatch disturbed the transport, causing positive and negative gradients in the concentration profile at the distal anastomosis. This was seen when the graft and artery radii were matched at zero pressure and at mean arterial pressure; low WSSs were only observed in the former case. Thus the distal intimal hypertrophy seen in noncompliant grafts may be caused partly by decreased WSS, and partly by concentration gradients of dissolved chemicals affecting chemotaxis of cells.

T1 - Mechanical Properties of Biomimetic Tissue Adhesive Based on the Microbial Transglutaminase-Catalyzed Crosslinking of Gelatin
AN - 17314970; 6121004
AB - Fibrin sealants are a type of soft tissue adhesive that employs biochemical reactions from the late stages of the blood coagulation cascade. Intrinsic to these adhesives are a structural protein and a transglutaminase crosslinking enzyme. We are investigating an alternative biomimetic adhesive based on gelatin and a calcium-independent microbial transglutaminase (mTG). Rheological measurements show that mTG catalyzes the conversion of gelatin solutions into hydrogels, and gel times are on the order of minutes depending on the gelatin type and concentration. Tensile static and dynamic loading of the adhesive hydrogels in bulk form demonstrated that the Young's modulus ranged from 15 to 120 kPa, and these bulk properties were comparable to those reported for hydrogels obtained from fibrin-based sealants. Lap-shear adhesion tests of porcine tissue were performed using a newly published American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard for tissue adhesives. The gelatin-mTG adhesive bound the opposing tissues together with ultimate adhesive strengths of 12-23 kPa which were significantly higher than the strength observed for fibrin sealants. Even after failure, strands of the gelatin-mTG adhesive remained attached to both of the opposing tissues. These results suggest that gelatin-mTG adhesives may offer the benefits of fibrin sealants without the need for blood products.

T1 - Brief Survey of EPA Standard-Setting and Health Assessment
AN - 16184142; 5990861
AB - The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgates standards for air pollutants and drinking water contaminants, as part of its mandate to protect public health and welfare. The Agency also assesses the health risks associated with hundreds of chemical substances, often developing quantitative toxicity and cancer potency benchmarks. This article compares EPA standards and benchmark values to those of other countries and other agencies. This includes the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS), the national primary drinking water regulations (NPDWR), and benchmark values from the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS). Results show that the NAAQS are generally comparable to or less strict than the air quality standards of other countries and international organizations. The NPDWR tend to be less strict than the water quality standards of other countries for inorganic chemicals, and they are more strict about as often as they are less strict for organic chemicals. Reference values for toxicity and cancer potency derived in EPA health assessments posted in the IRIS database are less stringent than those of other agencies about as often as they are more stringent, and they are often identical. Revisions to these values more often than not made them less stringent. These results suggest that EPA's standards and quantitative health assessments are not out of line with those of other agencies and other countries.

T1 - Emerging waterborne pathogens: can we kill them all?
AN - 72021250; 15193323
AB - The rapid emergence of Cryptosporidium parvum and Escherichia coli 0157:H7 have created a threat to the drinking water industry and there is a growing need to develop a strategy for recognizing potential emerging waterborne pathogens. Globalization of trade, changing population demographics and changes in treatment technology have been driving factors in the emergence of these new pathogens. An understanding of disinfectant action and microbial resistance to treatment processes is needed to better identify those pathogens likely to be of greatest concern. Recent research on microbial resistance to treatment and disinfection demonstrates that the microbial surface structure and composition and the nature of the genome are key to determining the potential for waterborne transmission of emerging pathogens.

T1 - Monitoring caspase activity in living cells using fluorescent proteins and flow cytometry.
AN - 71960867; 15161627
AB - A molecular probe was developed to monitor caspase activity in living cells by flow cytometry. It consists of CFP and YFP with a peptide linker containing two caspase-cleavage sites (LEVD). Its expression resulted in intense fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), whereas cleavage of this linker by caspases eliminated FRET because of physical separation of the CFP and YFP moieties. Using flow cytometry, cells expressing this probe exhibited two patterns, strong FRET and diminished or absent FRET. The appearance of diminished FRET was inhibited by a pan-caspase inhibitor z-VAD or D->A mutations in the LEVD sequence and was markedly increased by apoptosis-inducing agents, etoposide and camptothecin, or overexpression of a caspase 8-red fluorescent protein fusion protein. Importantly, this probe's ability to monitor caspase activity was comparable with results obtained with fluorogenic substrates or fluorochrome-labeled inhibitors of caspases. Specific caspase inhibitors indicated the probe was highly sensitive to cleavage by caspase 6 and 8, less sensitive to caspase 4, and resistant to other caspases. Activation of caspase 8 by Fas engagement markedly increased the probe's cleavage, whereas treatment of caspase 8-deficient cells with anti-Fas did not increase cleavage. However, staurosporine induced cleavage of the probe in caspase 8-deficient cells by a mechanism that was inhibited by overexpression of bcl-x. Taken together, the data indicate that this caspase-sensitive probe can be used to monitor the basal and apoptosis-related activities of caspases, including an initiator caspase, caspase 8, and effector caspases, such as caspase 6.

T1 - Supply Curves for Using Powder River Basin Coal to Reduce Sulfur Emissions
AN - 20631590; 6248568
AB - Supply curves were prepared for coal-fired power plants in the contiguous United States switching to Wyoming's Powder River Basin (PRB) low-sulfur coal. Up to 625 plants, representing similar to 44% of the nameplate capacity of all coal-fired plants, could switch. If all switched, more than $8.8 billion additional capital would be required and the cost of electricity would increase by up to $5.9 billion per year, depending on levels of plant derating. Coal switching would result in sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions reduction of 4.5 million t/yr. Increase in cost of electricity would be in the range of 0.31-0.73 cents per kilowatthour. Average cost of S emissions reduction could be as high as $1298 per t of SO2. Up to 367 plants, or 59% of selected plants with 32% of 44% nameplate capacity, could have marginal cost in excess of $1000 per t of SO2. Up to 73 plants would appear to benefit from both a lowering of the annual cost and a lowering of SO2 emissions by switching to the PRB coal.

T1 - Characterization of the Human Ig Heavy Chain Antigen Binding Complementarity Determining Region 3 Using a Newly Developed Software Algorithm, JOINSOLVER
AN - 17991312; 5925732
AB - We analyzed 77 nonproductive and 574 productive human V sub(H)DJ sub(H) rearrangements with a newly developed program, JOINSOLVER. In the productive repertoire, the H chain complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3 sub(H)) was significantly shorter (46.7 plus or minus 0.5 nucleotides) than in the nonproductive repertoire (53.8 plus or minus 1.9 nucleotides) because of the tendency to select rearrangements with less TdT activity and shorter D segments. Using criteria established by Monte Carlo simulations, D segments could be identified in 71.4% of nonproductive and 64.4% of productive rearrangements, with a mean of 17.6 plus or minus 0.7 and 14.6 plus or minus 0.2 retained germline nucleotides, respectively. Eight of 27 D segments were used more frequently than expected in the nonproductive repertoire, whereas 3 D segments were positively selected and 3 were negatively selected, indicating that both molecular mechanisms and selection biased the D segment usage. There was no bias for D segment reading frame (RF) use in the nonproductive repertoire, whereas negative selection of the RFs encoding stop codons and positive selection of RF2 that frequently encodes hydrophilic amino acids were noted in the productive repertoire. Except for serine, there was no consistent selection or expression of hydrophilic amino acids. A bias toward the pairing of 5' D segments with 3' J sub(H) segments was observed in the nonproductive but not the productive repertoire, whereas V sub(H) usage was random. Rearrangements using inverted D segments, DIR family segments, chromosome 15 D segments and multiple D segments were found infrequently. Analysis of the human CDR3 sub(H) with JOINSOLVER has provided comprehensive information on the influences that shape this important Ag binding region of V sub(H) chains.

T1 - Microbial risk assessment: don't forget the children
AN - 17976525; 5938210
AB - Quantitative microbial risk assessment is a rapidly developing field with a purpose to quantify risks of infection, disease and mortality from the environmental exposure of pathogens. It is currently being applied to the development of standards for drinking water, wastewater re-use and foods. A growing body of evidence indicates that the greatest risk of infection for enteric pathogens is for persons less than 19 years of age. Children are more likely to become ill from consumption of contaminated drinking water and recreational activities. These increased risks may be because immunological, neurological and digestive systems are still developing. In addition, children are more environmentally exposed to pathogens. For some enteric pathogens children may be the greatest at risk population.

T1 - Removal of super(137)Cs in Japanese Catfish during Preparation for Consumption
AN - 17287778; 6044142
AB - Japanese catfish contaminated by super(137)Cs have been used to investigate how dressing and cooking methods affect the removal of radioactivity from the fish. During the dressing, 6.0% of the initial super(137)Cs activity in live fish was removed by washing them, and a further 30.3% of this activity relative to the washed fish was removed by discarding the nonedible body parts (such as the skeleton, fins, visceral mass, liver, and kidney) and by washing the chopped edible remains. Fish curry was cooked with various spices, vegetable oil, and greens and other vegetables following a method commonly used in Southeast Asian and East Asian countries. The cooking process removed a further 61.6% of the super(137)Cs activity relative to the activity in dressed fish. Taken together, this normal domestic fish dressing and culinary process removed 74.7% of the initial super(137)Cs activity that had been present in the live fish. During the cooking, the radioactivity removed from the fish pieces was found to be distributed throughout the ingredients of the curry. The cooked pieces retained, on average, 38.5% of the radioactivity present in the raw dressed pieces. Among the ingredients, the gravy was found to contain an average of 34.8% of the activity of the dressed fish. The activity in greens and vegetables was found to vary from 4.0% (in cauliflower) to 7.2% (in potatoes). It may be concluded that normal home preparation and culinary processes removed much of the radioactivity from the fish.

T1 - Distribution of some trace metals in Syrian phosphogypsum
AN - 51678313; 2005-060557
AB - Distribution of Cu, Cd, Zn and U in a Syrian phosphoric acid plant byproduct, phosphogypsum, has been determined. Uranium, Cd, Zn and Cu were found to be more enhanced in small phosphogypsum particles (45-75 mu m) where the highest concentration was found for Cu (51.7 ppm). In addition, the element transfer factors (Trace element concentration in phosphogypsum (mg/kg)/Trace element concentration in phosphate rock (mg/kg)X100) from Syrian phosphate rock to phosphogypsum were calculated and found to be 30, 8 and 17% for Zn, Cd and U, respectively. Moreover, laboratory leaching experiments of phosphogypsum by distilled water, dilute H (sub 2) SO (sub 4) solutions and selective extractants have been performed. Leaching results have shown that around 20% of the U and 100% of the Zn are transferred to the aqueous phase. Batch-wise leaching with dilute H (sub 2) SO (sub 4) solutions shows increased solubility of U, Zn, Cu and Cd from phosphogypsum, while leaching with selective extractants has been performed to determine the amount of exchangeable trace metals which are adsorbed, on gypsum particle surfaces, the amount of trace metals present inside the gypsum lattice, the amount of trace metals associated with organic materials and the amount of trace metals soluble in acids. The results obtained in this study can be utilized to verify the environmentally safe use of phosphogypsum as an amendment to agricultural soils.

T1 - U.S. distributed generation fuel cell program
AN - 19447447; 6788040
AB - The Department of Energy (DOE) is the largest funder of fuel cell technology in the U.S. The Department of Energy - Office of Fossil Energy (FE) is developing high temperature fuel cells for distributed generation. It has funded the development of tubular solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) power systems operating at up to 60% efficiency on natural gas. The remarkable environmental performance of these fuel cells makes them likely candidates to help mitigate pollution. DOE is now pursuing more widely applicable solid oxide fuel cells for 2010 and beyond. DOE estimates that a 5 kW solid oxide fuel cell system can reach $400 per kW at reasonable manufacturing volumes. SECA-the Solid State Energy Conversion Alliance - was formed by the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to accelerate the commercial readiness of planar and other solid oxide fuel cell systems utilizing 3-10 kW size modules by taking advantage of the projected economies of production from a "mass customization" approach. In addition, if the modular 3-10 kW size units can be "ganged" or "scaled-up" to larger sizes with no increase in cost, then commercial, microgrid, and other distributed generation markets will become attainable. Further scale-up and hybridization of SECA SOFCs with gas turbines could result in penetration of the bulk power market. This paper reviews the current status of the solid oxide and molten carbonate fuel cells in the U.S.

T1 - Blood organic mercury and dietary mercury intake: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999 and 2000.
AN - 71792659; 15064162
AB - Blood organic mercury (i.e., methyl mercury) concentrations among 1,709 women who were participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in 1999 and 2000 (1999-2000 NHANES) were 0.6 microg/L at the 50th percentile and ranged from concentrations that were nondetectable (5th percentile) to 6.7 microg/L (95th percentile). Blood organic/methyl mercury reflects methyl mercury intake from fish and shellfish as determined from a methyl mercury exposure parameter based on 24-hr dietary recall, 30-day food frequency, and mean concentrations of mercury in the fish/shellfish species reported as consumed (multiple correlation coefficient > 0.5). Blood organic/methyl mercury concentrations were lowest among Mexican Americans and highest among participants who designated themselves in the Other racial/ethnic category, which includes Asians, Native Americans, and Pacific Islanders. Blood organic/methyl mercury concentrations were ~1.5 times higher among women 30-49 years of age than among women 16-29 years of age. Blood mercury (BHg) concentrations were seven times higher among women who reported eating nine or more fish and/or shellfish meals within the past 30 days than among women who reported no fish and/or shellfish consumption in the past 30 days. Blood organic/methyl mercury concentrations greater than or equal to 5.8 microg/L were lowest among Mexican Americans (2.0%) and highest among examinees in the Other racial/ethnic category (21.7%). Based on the distribution of BHg concentrations among the adult female participants in 1999-2000 NHANES and the number of U.S. births in 2000, > 300,000 newborns each year in the United States may have been exposed in utero to methyl mercury concentrations higher than those considered to be without increased risk of adverse neurodevelopmental effects associated with methyl mercury exposure.

T1 - Biodistribution of GB-10 (Na(2)(10)B10H10 compound for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) in an experimental model of oral cancer in the hamster cheek pouch.
AN - 71708348; 15003550
AB - We previously proposed the hamster cheek pouch model of oral cancer for BNCT studies. We herein present the biodistribution of a non-toxic boron compound, GB-10 (Na(2)(10)B10H10), in this model to assess its potential for BNCT or BNCT enhanced Fast Neutron Therapy.
We evaluated the uptake and retention of GB-10 in tumour and precancerous tissue and in potentially dose-limiting, clinically relevant normal tissues. Mean tumour boron concentration delivered by GB-10 (50mgB/kg) peaked to 77.7+/-28.0 ppm at 20min post-administration and remained at therapeutically useful values of 31.9+/-21.4 ppm at 3h. The clearance rate for normal tissues was faster than for tumour tissue. The consistently low brain and spinal cord values would preclude normal tissue toxicity. The uptake of GB-10 by precancerous tissue may be of potential use in the treatment of field cancerized areas. GB-10 was deposited homogeneously in different tumour areas, an asset when treating heterogenous tumours. The data suggests that the joint administration of BPA and GB-10 may improve the therapeutic efficacy of BNCT.
GB-10 is a potential boron carrier for BNCT of head and neck tumours and for BNCT-FNT.

T1 - Use of poly(lactic acid) amendments to promote the bacterial fixation of metals in zinc smelter tailings
AN - 19923868; 5793467
AB - The ability of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) to serve as a long-term source of lactic acid for bacterial sulfate reduction activity in zinc smelter tailings was investigated. Solid PLA polymers mixed in water hydrolyzed abiotically to release lactic acid into solution over an extended period of time. The addition of both PLA and gypsum was required for indigenous bacteria to lower redox potential, raise pH, and stimulate sulfate reduction activity in highly oxidized smelter tailings after one year of treatment. Bioavailable cadmium, copper, lead and zinc were all lowered significantly in PLA/gypsum treated soil, but PLA amendments alone increased the bioavailability of lead, nickel and zinc. Similar PLA amendments may be useful in constructed wetlands and reactive barrier walls for the passive treatment of mine drainage, where enhanced rates of bacterial sulfate reduction are desirable.

T1 - Chemistry of the CO (super 2) -coal interaction
AN - 51698964; 2005-047231
AB - Geological storage of carbon dioxide in coal seams has emerged as a potential strategy for the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. Effective modeling of sequestration scenarios and accurate prediction of sequestration capacities rely on adsorption isotherms to provide relationships between pressure and adsorbed-amount at various temperatures. Investigations at NETL have attempted to provide information about the reliability of these measurements, insight into factors affecting the adsorption capacity, and information about the chemistry/mechanism of the adsorption phenomenon. These studies have included an inter-laboratory comparison of adsorption isotherm reproducibility; the derivation of an adsorption isotherm equation which accounts for the volume effects which may occur when an adsorbate alters the structure of an adsorbent such as is observed when the coal organic matrix swells in the presence of adsorbing gases; an examination of the effects of rank, moisture content, and temperature on the adsorption capacity; and spectroscopic investigations into the nature of the coal-CO (sub 2) interaction(s).

T1 - Evaluating Resistance of Some Rootstocks to Grape Phylloxera With In Vitro And Excised Root Testing Systems
AN - 17767289; 5923525
AB - The life table of a local strain of grape phylloxera was determined to evaluate the resistance of the most commonly used rootstocks: Ru140, R99, and 3309C, and one local variety 'Helwani'. The study was carried out by applying both in vitro dual culture and small root pieces testing systems. The results showed that there was a great variation in percentage mortality of immature stages, number of eggs laid, adult fertility, oviposition period, and developmental time between all tested rootstocks and the local variety, regardless of the applied testing systems. Based on the population prediction, Helwani would be a suitable host as it would be susceptible to the destructive insects in the field and the rootstocks would be resistant. However, Ru140 rootstock was more susceptible than R99 and 3309C rootstocks.

T1 - Roots of Stylosanthes hamata create macropores in the compact layer of a sandy soil
AN - 1034829519; 17025742
AB - The paper presents results of a field experiment designed to investigate the potential use of forage legume Stylosanthes hamata (stylo) to ameliorate the structure of a compact layer in sandy soils of Northeast Thailand. Sandy and acidic soils that are common to Northeast Thailand have restricted agronomic potential due to inherent chemical and physical properties. A compact layer at 20-40 cm reduces root elongation for most crops, thereby restricting the quantity of nutrients and water available for the plant growth. Deep ploughing and subsoiling are costly and have not been shown to be effective in overcoming compaction since these soils are unstable and collapse after the first heavy rainfall event. A three-year study was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of continuous stylo on the porosity of the compact layer and its influence on root elongation and yield of a subsequent maize crop. Continuous stylo was grown for two years in experimental plots and compared to a currently used stylo-maize rotation. Root distribution and macropore density were measured under the two cropping systems. After 24 months of continuous stylo, roots were able to penetrate the compact layer, resulting in a significant improvement in the macroporosity of this layer. The subsequent maize crop developed a deeper and more extensive root system using macropores created after 24 months of continuous stylo when compared to the stylo-maize rotation treatment. This study demonstrates the potential role of Stylosanthes hamata in structural amelioration of sandy compact layers.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: VIRGIL C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION, FAIRFIELD COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA. (FIFTEENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 1 of 1]
T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: VIRGIL C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION, FAIRFIELD COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA. (FIFTEENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36352786; 10647-040092_0001
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Virgil C Summer Nuclear Station in fairfield County, South Carolina is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 15th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, South Carolina Electric and Gas Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is August 6, 2022. The power station, which is located within in a 2,245-acre site in a largely rural area 15 miles west of Winnsboro and 26 miles northwest of Columbia, consists of one unit equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Monticello Reservoir, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. The unit is rated at 2,775 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 966 MW-electric. The reactor, which was placed in service in January 1983 and was upgraded in 1999, is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Ten transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Monticello Reservoir and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from 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. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 04-0003D, Volume 28, Number 1. For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

T1 - IDAHO SPENT FUEL FACILITY AT THE IDAHO NATIONAL ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY IN BUTTE COUNTY, IDAHO. [Part 1 of 1]
T2 - IDAHO SPENT FUEL FACILITY AT THE IDAHO NATIONAL ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY IN BUTTE COUNTY, IDAHO.
AN - 36354733; 10648-040093_0001
AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of the Idaho Spent Fuel Storage Facility (ISFSF) in Butte County, Idaho is proposed to repackage and store spent nuclear fuel (SNF)and associated radioactive material from a number of facilities stored at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). During the past 40 years, the Department of Energy (DOE) and its predecessor agencies have generated, transported, received, stored, and reprocessed SNF at DOE facilities nationwide. Part of the SNF originated from non-DOE domestically licensed facilities, including training, research, and test reactors at universities; commercial reactors; and government-owned installations, including US Navy reactors from which DOE has contractual obligations to accept SNF. Most of the SNF at DOE's INEEL, originally destined for reprocessing, is currently stored under conditions acceptable only for short-term storage. Current storage provisions at INEEL consist of aging above-ground facilities, including wet storage pools, and dry underground storage facilities. The facilities to be served by the ISFSF would include Peach Bottom, Unit 1, high-temperature, gas-cooled reactor; the Shipping port Atomics Power Station; and various training, research, and isotope reactors built by General Atomics. The ISFSF, which would be located at the INEEL, is part of an October 1995 settlement agreement between DOE, the US Navy, and the state of Idaho regarding waste removal and environmental cleanup at the INEEL. The proposed ISFSF would also be licensed as an independent spent fuel storage installation. THE ISFSF would be located on at eight-acre site adjacent to INNEL's Idaho Nuclear Technology and Energy Center. The preferred alternative would provide for dry storage of the SNF after processing. The proposed contractor, Foster Wheeler Environmental Corporation, has met the requirements of DOE's specific design criteria for the facility, including requirements for container dimensions, year-round operation, storage container capable of being transported via truck or rail, personnel and public exposure limits, and minimization of decommissioning activities. In addition to the proposed action, a No Action Alternative is considered in this final EIS. Construction costs for the proposed ISFSF are estimated at $119.6 million in 2001 dollars. Facility decommissioning costs are estimated at $35.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reprocessing and long-term storage of the SNF would eliminate a significant health and safety hazards from the INEEL and the surrounding areas, including the Snake River Plain Aquifer, which lies below the laboratory site and is a major water source for the region. Construction of the ISFSF would employ 250 workers over a two-year period, while operation of the facility would employ nearly 60 persons for at least four years, with storage operations beyond that time employing fewer workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities associated with the ISFSF would affect the eight-acres site and 10 acres within an adjoining laydown area; the entire area to be affected is currently used as a laydown area and has been disturbed previously by other activities and land uses. Access and use of the facility site would be limited. Though workers would be exposed to radiation, doses would be well within acceptable limits. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.) and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 72). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 03-0387D, Volume 27, Number 4.

T1 - CONTINUED OPERATION OF LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY AND SUPPLEMENTAL STOCKPILE STEWARDSHIP AND MANAGEMENT, LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA. [Part 3 of 3]
T2 - CONTINUED OPERATION OF LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY AND SUPPLEMENTAL STOCKPILE STEWARDSHIP AND MANAGEMENT, LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA.
AN - 900615857; 10642-6_0003
AB - PURPOSE: The continued operation of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and activities related to the Supplemental Stockpile and Management at Livermore, California is proposed. The LLNL is located on an 821-acre site located 40 miles east of San Francisco, but also includes a 7,000-acre experimental test site near Tracy, California. The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is responsible for maintaining and enhancing the safety, reliability, and performance of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile to meet national security requirements. The continued operation of LLNL is critical to NNSA's Stockpile Stewardship Program and to preventing the spread and use of nuclear weapons worldwide. LLNL maintains core competencies in activities associated with research and development, design, and surveillance of nuclear weapons, as well as the assessment and certification of their safety and reliability. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS, which also constitutes a supplement to the final programmatic EIS for stockpile stewardship and management for use of proposed materials at the National Ignition Facility. As part of the proposed action, NNSA is considering the use of additional materials, including plutonium, on the National Ignition Facility; increasing the administrative limit for plutonium in the Superblock, which includes the Plutonium Facility, the Tritium Facility, and the Hardened Engineering Test Building; conducting the Integrated Technology Project, using laser isotope separation to provide material for Stockpile Stewardship experiments, in the Plutonium Facility; increasing the material-at-risk limit for the Plutonium Facility; and increasing the Tritium Facility material-at-risk. The EIS analyzes more than 100 facilities, containing 4.0 million gross square feet of floorspace, at LLNL. In addition to the abovementioned Congressionally mandated nuclear posture review, an annual assessment review to certify the stockpile, a program designed to assist in countering the proliferation and use of weapons of mass destruction, as well as programs addressing energy security and energy needs, environmental assessment and management, advancing bioscience, breakthroughs in fundamental sciences and applied technology. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Continuation of LLNL would be critical to NNSA's Stockpile Stewardship Program and to preventing the spread and use of nuclear weapons worldwide. The 2001 Congressional mandate to revitalize the defense infrastructure such that is will provide capabilities in a timely fashion to meet emerging threats would be answered appropriately. Activities proposed at the LLNL would increase the employment rolls at the facility by nearly 1,000 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Occupational radiation releases would increase somewhat, though not significantly, under the proposed alternative. LLNL operations could potentially affect six federally protected species of animals. The generation of nonhazardous wastes would increase to 4,900 metric tons per year. Increased site activities could increase the likelihood of soil contamination due to increased levels of activity and corresponding increases in the potential for accidental releases. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on stockpile stewardship, see 96-0087D, Volume 20, Number 1 and 96-0531F, Volume 20, Number 6.

The LLNL is located on an 821-acre site located 40 miles east of San Francisco, but also includes a 7,000-acre experimental test site near Tracy, California. The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is responsible for maintaining and enhancing the safety, reliability, and performance of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile to meet national security requirements. The continued operation of LLNL is critical to NNSA's Stockpile Stewardship Program and to preventing the spread and use of nuclear weapons worldwide. LLNL maintains core competencies in activities associated with research and development, design, and surveillance of nuclear weapons, as well as the assessment and certification of their safety and reliability. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS, which also constitutes a supplement to the final programmatic EIS for stockpile stewardship and management for use of proposed materials at the National Ignition Facility. As part of the proposed action, NNSA is considering the use of additional materials, including plutonium, on the National Ignition Facility; increasing the administrative limit for plutonium in the Superblock, which includes the Plutonium Facility, the Tritium Facility, and the Hardened Engineering Test Building; conducting the Integrated Technology Project, using laser isotope separation to provide material for Stockpile Stewardship experiments, in the Plutonium Facility; increasing the material-at-risk limit for the Plutonium Facility; and increasing the Tritium Facility material-at-risk. The EIS analyzes more than 100 facilities, containing 4.0 million gross square feet of floorspace, at LLNL. In addition to the abovementioned Congressionally mandated nuclear posture review, an annual assessment review to certify the stockpile, a program designed to assist in countering the proliferation and use of weapons of mass destruction, as well as programs addressing energy security and energy needs, environmental assessment and management, advancing bioscience, breakthroughs in fundamental sciences and applied technology. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Continuation of LLNL would be critical to NNSA's Stockpile Stewardship Program and to preventing the spread and use of nuclear weapons worldwide. The 2001 Congressional mandate to revitalize the defense infrastructure such that is will provide capabilities in a timely fashion to meet emerging threats would be answered appropriately. Activities proposed at the LLNL would increase the employment rolls at the facility by nearly 1,000 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Occupational radiation releases would increase somewhat, though not significantly, under the proposed alternative. LLNL operations could potentially affect six federally protected species of animals. The generation of nonhazardous wastes would increase to 4,900 metric tons per year. Increased site activities could increase the likelihood of soil contamination due to increased levels of activity and corresponding increases in the potential for accidental releases. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on stockpile stewardship, see 96-0087D, Volume 20, Number 1 and 96-0531F, Volume 20, Number 6.

T1 - Ultrasound measurements of skin thickness after UV exposure: a feasibility study.
AN - 80175927; 14975400
AB - High-frequency ultrasound images were used to measure the thickness of the dermis and epidermis of four human subjects. These measurements were performed before and after a single exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV). Doses ranging from 0.5 to 3 minimal erythema doses (MED) were delivered to the skin of the back of four human subjects, and thickness measurements were made over a period of 16 days. We found: (1) exposures > or = 2 MED caused a 10-30% increase in the thickness of the dermis-epidermis layer; (2) the thickening response was not always in direct proportion to the UV dose; (3) maximum thickening response time was 48 h for the 2.8-3.0 MED exposure levels; (4) "diffusion" or spreading of the thickening response to neighboring areas occurred in some cases, as far as 4 cm from the exposed region (center-to-center), with changes ranging from 12% to 17%; (5) decreased thickness of the dermis-epidermis layer of up to 12% was observed for 3 out of 4 of the subjects.

T1 - Imbalance of antioxidant enzymes in tumor cells and inhibition of proliferation and malignant features by scavenging hydrogen peroxide.
AN - 80128054; 14750215
AB - The aim of this study was to evaluate the endogenous alterations of the antioxidant enzymes in tumor cells and to specifically compensate the resulting changes in the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to control the malignant growth. We determined and compared the activities of antioxidant enzymes and the levels of superoxide anion (O2*-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in tumor cell lines with different degrees of malignancy, paired with regard to their origin (PB/CH72T4, PDV/PDVC57, and HBL-100/MCF-7). An increase in superoxide dismutase activity and a decrease in the activities of H2O2-detoxifying enzymes, as a function of malignancy, coupled with a rise in H2O2 and a decrease in O2*- were demonstrated. Treatment of cells with exogenous catalase showed a dose-dependent inhibition of proliferation. This inhibition was also demonstrated in several cell lines of different tissue origin and species, suggesting a general role of H2O2 in cell proliferation. Moreover, stable expression of human catalase in MCF-7 cells inhibited proliferation and also reverted malignant features. We conclude that H2O2 played a crucial and general role in the regulation of proliferation and that an endogenous imbalance in antioxidant enzymes could be a relevant event in the carcinogenesis process.

T1 - Synthesis of poly(butylene succinate)/glass fiber composite by irradiation and its biodegradability
AN - 19478406; 8216098
AB - A composite was synthesized by irradiation of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and glass fiber (GF) in the presence of a polyfunctional monomer, trimethallyl isocyanurate (TMAIC), which accelerates gel formation of the matrix (PBS) in the composite. The highest gel fraction was achieved at 1% concentration of TMAIC at the dose level of 200 kGy compared to other concentrations. Mechanical properties of the composites were highly dependent on the gel fraction of the polymer and volume fraction of glass fiber reinforcement in the composite. Optimal conditions to synthesize a PBS/GF composite reaching maximum value of bending strength were 1% TMAIC, 67% fiber volume fraction, and irradiation dose of 200 kGy. These synthesized PBS/GF composites can be degraded by enzymes produced from the microorganism population in soil.

T1 - The effect of sand/cement ratio on radon exhalation from cement specimens containing super(226)Ra
AN - 19221980; 5792804
AB - Different ratios of Portland cement and sand were mixed with radium chloride to produce radioactive cylinder specimens. Two types of sand were used (calcite and silica). The release of radon from these samples was studied. Results showed that radon release from the calcite-cement samples was affected by the sand ratios. It was also noticed that the release changed with the size of the sand particles. Same trends were observed from silica-cement samples. In addition, it was found that radon exhalation from calcite-cement samples were less than that of silica-cement samples. The results were explained by the creation of closed free spaces in the samples, which gave radon atoms the possibility to decay in these free spaces rather than exhalation.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: R.E. GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, ONTARIO, WAYNE COUNTY, NEW YORK. (FOURTEENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36434252; 10597
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna) near Ontario in Wayne County, New York is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 14th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which September 18, 2009. The power station, which is located on a 488-acre site four miles north of Ontario on the south shore of Lake Ontario, consists of one unit equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a once-through cooling system, and two identical closed heat-transfer loops, each of which includes a reactor coolant p0ump and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. The unit is rated at 1,520 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 490 MW-electric. The reactor, which was placed in service in 1970 and was upgraded in 1972, is housed within a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. Plant cooling is provided by water is obtained from and returned to Lake Ontario. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four 0.6-mile 115-kilovolt (kV) underground transmission lines deliver electricity generated by the plant to a substation on the south side of Lake Road, which, in turn, sends the electricity to the regional grid via five 3.5-mile 115-kV overhead lines the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Lake Ontario at a rate of 354,600 gallons per minute (gpm) and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the lake from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the 175 acres of the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw 14,600 gpm from 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. 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).

AB - Global warming due to increased greenhouse gas emissions poses the most severe problem for governments today. A risk analysis forecasts increased flooding and coastline vulnerability in the United Kingdom and the world. The seriousness of economic damage depends on future global emission scenarios. The U.K. government is planning to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the United Kingdom by 60% by 2050. Global agreement and sustained action to limit carbon dioxide emissions is needed.

T1 - Health effects of Acanthamoeba spp. and its potential for waterborne transmission.
AN - 71586251; 14561077
AB - Risk from Acanthamoeba keratitis is complex, depending upon the virulence of the particular strain, exposure, trauma, or other stress to the eye, and host immune response. Bacterial endosymbionts may also play a factor in the pathogenicity of Acanthamoeba. Which factor(s) may be the most important is not clear. The ability of the host to produce IgA antibodies in tears may be a significant factor. The immune response of the host is a significant risk factor for GAE infection. If so, then a certain subpopulation with an inability to produce IgA in the tears may be at greatest risk. There was no sufficient data on the occurrence or types of Acanthamoeba in tapwater in the U.S. Published work on amoebal presence in tapwater does not provide information on the type of treatment the water received or the level of residual chlorine. Assessment of the pathogenicity by cell culture and molecular methods of Acanthamoeba in tapwater would also be useful in the risk assessment process for drinking water. The possibility that Acanthamoeba spp. might serve as vectors for bacterial infections from water sources also should be explored. The bacterial endosymbionts include an interesting array of pathogens such as Vibrio cholerae and Legionella pneumophila, both of which are well recognized waterborne/water-based pathogens. Work is needed to determine if control of Acanthamoeba spp. is needed to control water-based pathogens in water supplies.

T1 - Factors considered in using birds for evaluating endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
AN - 66924311; 15454685
AB - Documented effects on fish and wildlife populations, coupled with evidence from human poisonings, epidemiology, and experimental toxicology, led to the formation of the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program within the US Environmental Protection Agency. The main objectives of the program are to validate and implement the screens and tests that have been proposed for evaluating possible endocrine-disrupting activity of chemicals. An avian two-generation test is one of the recommended higher tier tests currently undergoing prevalidation. The advantages and disadvantages of the two species of quail considered as candidates, the northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) and the Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica), are described as well as the basis for final selection of the Japanese quail. Among the numerous considerations necessary for ultimately optimizing a two-generation test method using birds, the following key factors are discussed: the number of birds used in the test, when to begin exposure of the P generation, selection and exposure of the F1 generation, and endpoints.

T1 - Using factor analysis to attribute health impacts to particulate pollution sources.
AN - 66644152; 15204802
AB - Laden et al. (2000) recently reported results of applying factor analysis to data taken in six cities from 1979 to 1988, identifying airborne particle sources potentially affecting daily mortality. These authors sought relationships between source groups and risk measures using source tracer elements, Se (coal combustion), Pb (light-duty motor vehicle sources), and Si (crustal--soil dispersion). Combined data analyses of this kind may overlook the complexity of source contributions, which have common tracer elements. In one of the cities, Boston, for example, the authors found coal combustion was an important source of mortality risk. For the city of Boston, the authors attribute coal combustion largely to distant upwind regional sources. The emphasis on coal combustion is confounded by the presence of major local sources of residual oil combustion, which contribute V, Se, and S (sulfur as sulfate) to the source apportionment. Evaluation of the source identification using single-element tracer analysis indicates that the detailed chemical composition or profile of major local sources needs to be taken into account in these investigations to minimize misclassification of airborne particle sources with potential adverse health effects.

T1 - Geochemistry of Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks from the Birim diamondiferous field, southern Ghana; implications for provenance and crustal evolution at the Archean-Proterozoic boundary
AN - 51624289; 2006-018320
AB - Metagraywackes and metapelites from the Paleoproterozoic Birimian Supergroup in the Birim diamondiferous field, southern Ghana, were analyzed for their major and trace element contents. Compared to early Proterozoic crust, the metasedimentary rocks are enriched in ferromagnesian elements but depleted in rare earth elements (REE), high field strength elements (HFSE) (with exception of Zr), and Th. They show REE patterns similar to their Archean counterparts. The chemical data indicate that the sediments were derived from a local source of mixed felsic-mafic composition, with the latter dominating. The source rocks were the basaltic to dacitic volcanic rocks and granitoids within the Birimian greenstone belts. The chemical data further suggest their deposition in a tectonic setting comparable to modern island arcs, and that minimal old upper crust (i.e., pre-Birimian sources) was involved in their formation. The analyzed metasedimentary rocks have Eu-anomalies and Gd (sub N) /Yb (sub N) , Sm/Nd, Th/Sc, Cr/Sc and Cr/Th ratios that closely resemble those of their Archean counterparts, and therefore inconsistent with models suggesting abrupt compositional changes in upper crust at the Archean-Proterozoic boundary.

T1 - Natural gas resource assessment at DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory
AN - 51606198; 2006-029142
AB - The Gas Supply Program at the DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory is charged with helping industry ensure the long-term sustainability of the nation's gas supply. NETL accomplishes this goal through the development of advanced technologies capable of expanding the size and recoverability of the nation's gas resource. Critical to this R&D effort is an understanding of the remaining gas resource base, particularly that resource that exists at and beyond the current margins of technical and economic recoverability. This particular need results in the application of a unique resource assessment method designed to capture the dynamics of resource recoverability under a variety of alternative technology, cost, and policy futures. NETL's assessments begin with a description of the remaining gas-in-place through analysis of thousands of geophysical well logs. Production records and remote sensing data are used to estimate the regional potential for fracture-related permeability enhancement. Computer models then predict the unique response of each of thousands of individual resource "packets" to potential changes in drilling costs, taxation, and other factors. Phase I, completed in February, 2003, estimated that roughly 4,700 tcf of gas exists in-place in selected formations of the Greater Green River and Wind River basins of Wyoming. Initial model results indicated that approximately 97% of that resource is currently not economically-recoverable, but noted that significant expansion in recoverability was possible with foreseeable technology advance. A second phase of this effort, focusing on the Anadarko basin of Oklahoma and the Uinta basin of Utah will be completed in 2004.

T1 - Proposed genetic model for the precipitation of uranium in Siwaliks of Taunsa area, D. G. Khan, Pakistan
AN - 51538865; 2006-079356
AB - The fluvial rocks, mostly Siwaliks, comprise molasse sediments which are deposited during middle Miocene to Pleistocene. The middle Siwaliks of the area is the host rocks for uranium exploration in D. G. Khan Division. Two distinct types of ore deposits have been discovered so far in the Siwalik rocks of D. G. Khan, i.e. paleochannel type & chemical ore deposit. The eastern limb of the Girdu anticline has a habit of rendering paleochannel type of ore deposits whereas the eastern limb of the Zinda Pir anticline is holding a unique type of uranium accumulation which may be termed as chemical ore body. This uranium accumulation has no corresponding radioactive signatures and the mineral accumulation appears to be quite young. The genetic model for this accumulation is interpreted as the secondary uranium which was formed along with fluvial sediments and got enriched due to subsurface water movement. The orogenic movements caused uplifting of these fluvial rocks due to which erosional surfaces developed. As a result, uranium got liberated through dissolution by water and was mobilized to the paleo-water tables. During episodic uplifts the process is repeated manifold and the last phase of uplifting has established the present day water table. Due to Eh-pH condition of the subsurface water, the remobilized uranium in the form of uranyl complexes reached the redox boundary (-ve Eh condition) where it changed its valency from U to U and got stabilized. Thus the stabilized U precipitated at the redox interface due to change in Eh-pH conditions and formed chemical ore body. The Lal-Ashab uranium deposit of Taunsa is a similar ore accumulation which may be called as a hanging ore body existing at a depth of 45-50 m, 20 m below the present- day water table in a tabular shape. The mineral could not exactly be identified through ore microscopy and XRD, however, due to its young age the uranyl oxidized variety exists between U (sub 3) O (sub 8) & UO (sub 2) . Some of the gamma logs show three levels of radioactivity which either show age difference or repeated mobilization scenario.

AB - An extensive radiometric survey in Mansehra Granitic Complex resulted in the discovery of secondary uranium mineralization in an over thrusted crushed part of Mansehra granite at Ahl. The crushed part indicates a roughly NS trending fault zone along the contact with Tanawal (Tanol) formation. Uranium mineralization consists of andersonite and uranophane. It reappears on the surface of granite after scratching within few days, as a result of precipitation from ground water. This prospect was investigated by shallow drilling of 18 holes totaling 1560 meters depth. 45 anomalous zones were encountered in drill holes ranging from 39-1100 ppm U (sub 3) O (sub 8) . Exploration data revealed thick sedimentary pile consisting of alternating sandstone and clay below crushed part of granite pointing to an intramountain basin. It is concluded from the data collected so far that an intermountain basin with torrential stream deposit near Ahl has trapped the labile uranium leached from crushed granite by ground water. Such an intramountain basin has yielded deposit at the contact of basement and overlying sediments. It is likely that this basin may have a comparable potential.

T1 - Behavior of uranium mineralization in Siwaliks of Nangar Nai area; Dera Ghazi Khan
AN - 51535556; 2006-079355
AB - The uraniferrous fluvial sedimentary rocks exposed in Nangar Nai area, D.G. Khan District run along the eastern margin of Sulaiman Range and make a part of middle Siwaliks. The rocks are of vital importance for uranium exploration. These uranium accumulations are paleo-channel related and occur at places where the paleo-channel is ducking in. The ducking out paleo channels are devoid of subsurface uranium mineralization despite of very good surface signature of radioactivity. The genetic model proposed for the source of these uranium deposits may be attributed to the primary rocks of the Himalayas coupled with volcanic tuff and ash falls derived from the volcanic activities occurred in the northern & western parts of Pakistan. The uranium was liberated from the primary rocks, transported in solution along the fluvial sediments and deposited at suitable locations. Later enrichment accumulations have resulted in the formation of uranium ore accumulations. Nangar Nai uranium mineralization is primarily a paleo-channel related ore body that was formed well below the present day water table in the form of a complex paleo-channel cum ground water oxidized leach type sandstone deposit. The uranium was mainly transported and deposited by the paleo-channel and enriched by the accumulation phenomenon. Further enrichment was provided by the indigenous volcanic source. Due to later tectonic uplift of strata a part of the uranium-bearing horizon has been exposed to the surface, which was oxidized and eroded. Major part of the ducking in paleo-channels has developed a redox interface below the water table and resulted in an ore body. Remobilization has caused leaching of uranium from western extremities of the ore body that has been transported to the eastern peripheries in the form of further enrichment on existing ore accumulations. This has resulted in positive disequilibrium of uranium ore.

T1 - Using helicopter electromagnetic surveys to determine the fate of water co-produced with coalbed natural gas in the Powder River basin of Wyoming
AN - 51525178; 2006-087122
AB - The Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory has conducted airborne surveys of seven coalbed natural gas producing areas in the Powder River basin. Helicopter electromagnetic (HEM) surveys are being used to map the distribution of produced water around impoundments. Results of these surveys can be grouped into three different categories: 1) areas where the produced water is more conductive than the shallow groundwater and HEM surveys can easily discern the plume of infiltrating produced water; 2) areas where the produced water exhibits the same conductivity as natural groundwater and the plume cannot be detected (in this case, the produced water is not degrading the native groundwater and is not of concern); and 3) areas where the produced water is less conductive than natural groundwater and the produced water has diluted the solutes and improved the quality of the native groundwater. Examples of all three categories have been identified. Such knowledge will allow impoundments to be designed better and will facilitate the intelligent use of produced water. Based on the data, it appears that this technique will prove to be useful to land use planners, natural gas producing companies, and state regulatory personnel.

T1 - Coalbed methane in the United States; a GIS study
AN - 51522117; 2006-087268
AB - A map of coalbed methane (CBM) gas field outlines in the US was built using ESRI ArcGIS software. The field outlines are displayed on a background of USGS and Alaska DNR coal basins along with active and abandoned coalmines. Inset maps show details of the 10 most active CBM basins. Well data for the field outlines was obtained from 18 state geological surveys or oil & gas commissions. Field outlines were constructed by buffering the wells from each field with a radius based on their spacing, then unioning the buffers to make a single polygon record per field name. A visual basic applications program within ArcGIS was used to automate the buffering process (necessary with > 35,000 wells and > 350 fields). CBM past production (from the states' oil & gas commissions), present proved reserves (Energy Information Administration) and future resources (Potential Gas Committee) were classified by basin and displayed as chloropleth maps and pie charts. Comparison of these shows the decline in relative contribution over time of the San Juan and Black Warrior Basins and the ascent of the Powder River basin. Specific emissions (annual gas emitted/coal produced) of the EPA's 121 gassiest active coalmines were calculated and mapped. The greatest number of gassy coalmines are located in the Appalachian Basin, while the Black Warrior Basin has the highest mean specific emissions.

AN - 51509770; 2007-005097
AB - Fallout (super 239+240) Pu, (super 238) Pu, (super 90) Sr and (super 137) Cs inventories in surface soils were measured for 20 locations in northern Vietnam yielding the mean values (+ or - standard error) of 26.5+ or -3.8 Bq m (super -2) for (super 239+240) Pu, 1048+ or -143 Bq m (super -2) for (super 137) Cs and 212+ or -28 Bq m (super -2) for (super 90) Sr. The concentrations of (super 137) Cs and plutonium isotopes strongly correlate with each other resulting in a stable (super 239+240) Pu/ (super 137) Cs inventory ratio of 0.025+ or -0.002. Among soil parameters, organic matter and fulvic acids strongly correlate with caesium and plutonium isotopes, especially in the 0-10 cm layer. (super 137) Cs and (super 239+240) Pu are distributed rather similarly over the 0-10 cm and 10-20 cm layers. At locations with high contents of sand (82-93%) along the South China Sea coast, the downward percolation by rainwater results in a higher accumulation of (super 239+240) Pu and (super 137) Cs in the 10-20 cm layer. The mean (super 137) Cs/ (super 90) Sr inventory ratio is 9.3+ or -2.2, and the correlation is weak between these isotopes.

T1 - Estimates of Dry Matter Yield and Nitrogen Uptake in Sorghum Grown on Saline and Non-Saline Soils Manured with Dhaincha Plant Residues
AN - 21026965; 8502537
AB - A pot experiment was conducted to determine the effects of manuring with three types of plant residues (roots, shoots and roots plus shoots) of dhaincha (Sesbania aculeata Pers.) on growth of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) grown on saline and non-saline soils. The objectives of this experiment were (1) to determine the effects of adding different plant residues of dhaincha on dry matter yield and nitrogen (N) uptake of sorghum; (2) to estimate the percentages and amounts of N derived from various N sources; (3) to estimate N recoveries from sesbania residues; (4) to make comparison between the direct and indirect 15N tracer techniques for estimating sorghum N uptake from sesbania residues; and (5) to test feasibility of using the non-isotopic technique (N-difference) for estimating N derived from plant residues. For measuring N uptake from various sources, two isotopic dilution techniques were utilized by adding to these soils either 15N-labelled inorganic N fertilizer (indirect method) or 15N-labelled sesbania leaves (direct method). For the indirect method, both soils manured with each type of sesbania residue, received four split applications of 15N-labelled ammonium sulfate. Results indicated that each type of sesbania residue, applied as green manure, resulted in significant increases in both dry matter yield and N uptake of sorghum as compared with the unmanured control. In addition, sesbania residues decreased the harmful effect of salinity on plant growth. Percentages of N derived from residues (%Ndfr) in sorghum grown in non-saline soil ranged between 3.9 and 33%, whereas in saline soil the observed values ranged between 4.9 and 19.8%. The N recoveries in sorghum grown in non-saline soil were 61, 45 and 37% of the total amount contained in sesbania root, shoot and root plus shoot, whereas the values in sorghum grown in saline soils were 48, 14.8 and 15.7%, respectively. The beneficial effects of sesbania residues are attributed not only to the additional N availability to the plants, but also to its effects on the enhancement of soil N uptake. Percentages and amounts of Ndfr calculated using the indirect method were not significantly different from those obtained by the direct method indicating that the indirect method used herein is feasible and simple for measuring N release from organic residues. The findings suggest that the use of Sesbania aculeata residues, particularly the shoots, as green manure, can provide a substantial portion of total N in sorghum. Moreover, the use of sesbania green manure in saline soils, as a bio-reclaiming material, can be a promising approach for enhancing plant growth on a sustainable basis.

T1 - Review and standardization of cell phone exposure calculations using the SAM phantom and anatomically correct head models
AN - 20233806; 7170131
AB - We reviewed articles using computational RF dosimetry to compare the Specific Anthropomorphic Mannequin (SAM) to anatomically correct models of the human head. Published conclusions based on such comparisons have varied widely. We looked for reasons that might cause apparently similar comparisons to produce dissimilar results. We also looked at the information needed to adequately compare the results of computational RF dosimetry studies. We concluded studies were not comparable because of differences in definitions, models, and methodology. Therefore we propose a protocol, developed by an I II standards group, as an initial step in alleviating this problem. The protocol calls for a benchmark validation study comparing the SAM phantom to two anatomically correct models of the human head. It also establishes common definitions and reporting requirements that will increase the comparability of all computational RF dosimetry studies of the human head.

T1 - The 3rd International Symposium on Deep-Sea Corals - the world comes to tropical Miami to discuss coldwater corals and other deep-sea habitat and associated fauna
AN - 19841604; 6868494
AB - With millions of people continually moving to the coast, water quality, habitat, and the fisheries that depend upon naturally functioning ecosystem processes are under constant assault. Because of coastal eutrophication, degradation and loss of habitat, and declines in fish stocks, human activities have pushed further and further offshore into deeper water out of necessity. Technological advances continue to strive to make activities such as trawl fishing, oil and gas exploration, mineral extraction, and the laying of telecommunication cables in deeper water more cost effective and feasible. Effective management decisions ensuring that deep-water ecosystems are sustainable can only occur with the availability of sound science. Between November 28 - December 2, 2005, deep-sea scientists from around the world will share with each other insights into: a) coldwater coral taxonomy and molecular genetics; b) habitat mapping, sampling and characterization tools and techniques of coldwater corals and other important deep-sea structural habitats; c) geology, paleontology and climate change using coldwater corals; d) biodiversity and microbial and invertebrate associations with coldwater corals; e) fisheries and fish ecology; f) ecosystem-based approaches to effectively managing important deep-sea habitat; g) biology, growth and reproduction of coldwater corals; h) and the conservation and effective management of the deep-sea.

T1 - Abrasion resistance of medical glove materials
AN - 19524807; 8078367
AB - Due to the increasing demand for nonlatex medical gloves in the health-care community, there is a need to assess the durability of alternative glove materials. This study examines durability characteristics of various glove materials by abrasion resistance testing. Natural rubber latex (latex), polyvinyl chloride (vinyl), acrylonitrile butadiene (nitrile), polychloroprene (neoprene), and a styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene block copolymer (SEBS) were tested. All test specimens, with the exception of the vinyl, were obtained from surgical gloves. Unaged out-of-the-box specimens as well as those subjected to various degrees of artificial aging were included in the study. After the abrasion sequence, the barrier integrity of the material was assessed through the use of a static leak test. Other traditional tests performed on these materials were viral penetration to validate the abrasion data and tear testing for comparative purposes. The results indicate that specific glove-material performance is dependent upon the particular test under consideration. Most notably, abrasion, even in controlled nonsevere conditions, may compromise to varying degrees the barrier integrity of latex, vinyl, SEBS, nitrile, and neoprene glove materials. However, as evidenced by the results of testing three brands of neoprene gloves, the abrasion resistance of any one glove material may be significantly affected by variations in production processes.

T1 - Thermal modeling of lesion growth with radiofrequency ablation devices
AN - 19476823; 7170124
AB - Background Temperature is a frequently used parameter to describe the predicted size of lesions computed by computational models. In many cases, however, temperature correlates poorly with lesion size. Although many studies have been conducted to characterize the relationship between time-temperature exposure of tissue heating to cell damage, to date these relationships have not been employed in a finite element model. Methods We present an axisymmetric two- dimensional finite element model that calculates cell damage in tissues and compare lesion sizes using common tissue damage and iso-temperature contour definitions. The model accounts for both temperature-dependent changes in the electrical conductivity of tissue as well as tissue damage-dependent changes in local tissue perfusion. The data is validated using excised porcine liver tissues. Results The data demonstrate the size of thermal lesions is grossly overestimated when calculated using traditional temperature isocontours of 42 degree C and 47 degree C. The computational model results predicted lesion dimensions that were within 5% of the experimental measurements. Conclusion When modeling radiofrequency ablation problems, temperature isotherms may not be representative of actual tissue damage patterns.

T1 - Assessment of Nitrogen Content, Uptake, Partitioning, and Recovery by Cotton Crop Grown under Surface Irrigation and Drip Fertigation by using Isotopic Technique
AN - 19323409; 8610830
AB - Field experiments were carried out through four consecutive years, 1995-1998, to assess the effect of irrigation methods and nitrogen (N) rates on nitrate status of the soil, N uptake, efficiency, partitioning, equivalent nitrogen fertilizer uptake (ENFU) and equivalent total nitrogen uptake (ETNU) by cotton by using the 15N technique. Treatments consisted of two irrigation methods, surface irrigation, and drip fertigation. Drip-fertigated cotton received five different nitrogen rates (0, 60, 120, 180, 240kg N/ha), while only one rate (180kg N/ha) was applied to the surface-irrigated cotton. All N fertilizers were applied as urea 46% N. Representative samples of the aboveground portions of cotton plants were harvested from the labeled subplots at physiological maturity and then were separated into leaves, stems, and fruiting forms. Dry matter weight, total N content, N uptake, and 15N excess atom percentage were assessed for each plant fraction, except lint. Soil-water status was monitored by using a neutron probe procedure, and irrigation scheduling was established according to the feedback data obtained. Soil solution nitrate as a function of time and depth was also evaluated by using a nitrate-strips procedure. Results indicated that N content, ETNU, ENFU, N uptake, and partitioning by cotton varied due to N input and irrigation methods. Nitrogen uptake and content in plant's tissues was increased as a function of N input and soil N status. Furthermore, N uptake was very high in a few instances, which might be due to the high residual N in the soil or due to high root activity of the cotton cultivar used in this study (Aleppo 33). Almost 55-63% of the accumulated N was partitioned into the fruiting forms, 27-35% in the leaves, and 9-10% in the stems of the cotton plants grown under drip fertigation. Whereas, under surface irrigation the percentage of accumulated N was partitioned as 57% in the fruiting forms, 34% in the leaves, and 9% in the stems. Fruiting forms and leaves were the major N sinks. Lint yield was highly correlated with N uptake, rates and content in plant tissues. Nitrogen recovery varied with different seasons, N input, and irrigation method. Equivalent total N uptakes, N fertilizer uptake, and the ratio of N uptake, of drip-fertigated relative to surface-irrigated cotton proved to be a good indicator for fertilizer and irrigation management.

T1 - Novel biosensor chip for simultaneous detection of DNA-carcinogen adducts with low-temperature fluorescence
AN - 19207346; 5793099
AB - A monoclonal antibody (MAb)-gold biosensor chip with low-temperature laser- induced fluorescence detection for analysis of DNA-carcinogen adducts is described. Optimization of the detection limit, dynamic range, and biosensing applicability of the MAb-gold biosensor chip was achieved by: (1) using dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate (DSP)) as a protein linker and (2) employing recombinant protein A to provide oriented immobilization of the MAbs. The use of DSP, which has a short methylene chain length, led to faster protein binding kinetics and higher protein surface density than a longer dithiobis(succinimidyl undecanoate) (DSU) linker. The incorporation of recombinant protein A increased the distance between the oriented MAb-bound analytes and the gold surface. The increased distance minimized fluorescence quenching, resulting in about a 10- fold increase in the fluorescence signal in comparison with a chip without protein A. The improved chip architecture was used to demonstrate that biosensing of two structurally similar benzo[a]pyrene (BP)-derived DNA adducts, BP-6-N7Gua and BP-diolepoxide-10-N super(2)dG, bound to two specific MAbs immobilized from a mixture at the same address on the chip, is feasible. These mutagenic adducts are formed by one-electron oxidation and monooxygenation pathways, and are depurinating and stable DNA adducts, respectively. It is shown that the DNA adducts can be easily identified at the same address using time- resolved, low-temperature laser-based fluorescence spectroscopy. The current limit of detection is in the low femtomole range. These results indicate that a single biosensor chip consisting of a Au/DSP/protein A/MAb nanoassembly, with analyte-specific MAbs and low-temperature fluorescence detection should be suitable for simultaneous detection and quantitation of the above adducts, as well as the luminescent antigens for which selective MAbs exist.

T1 - The No-Take Research Natural Area of Dry Tortugas National Park (Florida): Wishful Thinking or Responsible Planning?
AN - 18067472; 6020437
AB - Established in 1992, Dry Tortugas National Park (DRTO) is one of the most pristine and remote parks in the National Park System. Located approximately 109 km from Key West, Florida, one of the purposes of establishing DRTO was to "protect and interpret a pristine subtropical marine ecosystem, including an intact coral reef ecosystem" (Public Law 102-525, 102nd Congress, 26 October 1992). Fulfilling this purpose has become increasingly difficult as visitation to DRTO has increased 400% over the last two decades, and boat registrations increased 50% during the 1990s. Clearly, potential threats to DRTO's natural and cultural resources have significantly increased since the last General Management Plan for DRTO was completed in 1983. An interdisciplinary team of scientists assessing the area's lush seagrass beds and corals as well as fishery resources undertook a site characterization. It was concluded that the snapper-grouper-grunt complex was overfished, anchor damage was evident, and water quality had at times degraded beyond acceptable state standards for bathing beaches. Clearly, these conditions were unacceptable according to DRTO's Congressional enabling legislation. Guided by National Park Service (NPS) policies pertaining to natural resource management (NPS-77) and presidential Executive Orders 13089 (coral reefs) and 13158 (marine protected areas), DRTO developed a list of draft management alternatives that would better protect the natural and cultural resources of the park, increase educational and scientific research opportunities, and improve the visitor experience. Here we discuss the rationale for developing, siting, and adopting the largest no-take Research Natural Area in the National Park System.

T1 - Incorporating Information and Expectations in Fishermen's Spatial Decisions
AN - 18064536; 6020454
AB - Applied economic analyses conducted to date of fishermen's spatial decisions have primarily used random utility models of location choice. A common characteristic of these studies is that they typically assume that fishermen have current information on catch rates at all fishing sites in the fishery, which implies a high degree of information sharing among fishermen while at sea. Using data from the Hawaii longline fishery, this paper tests this hypothesis, analyzing whether varying assumptions on information available to fishermen for basing spatial choices affects predictions regarding those decisions.

T1 - One- and Two-Dimensional Miniaturized Electrophoresis of Proteins with Native Fluorescence Detection
AN - 17987219; 5937024
AB - Miniaturized electrophoresis was successfully coupled with native fluorescence detection for direct analysis of proteins in one- and two-dimensional separations. The detection setup was based on direct observation of the UV-induced fluorescence of proteins using a CCD camera and a Hg (Xe) lamp for sample excitation. Protein mixtures were readily separated by size on a 1-cm segment of the one-dimensional gel in 8 min, and a detection limit of 0.04 ng per band was achieved. The dynamic range of the system was larger than 2 orders of magnitude. Miniaturized slab gel electrophoresis was performed on a special holder designed to couple isoelectric focusing with SDS-PAGE. Two-dimensional separation, including rehydration of IEF strip and fluorescence detection was completed in 2.5 h. Approximately 200 protein spots from Escherichia coli were detected on a 1 cm super(2) area. A detection limit of 0.1 mu g of total protein was achieved. The operation should be amenable to total automation.

T1 - Effect of gamma irradiation on fungal load, chemical and sensory characteristics of walnuts (Juglans regia L.)
AN - 17926809; 5873910
AB - Walnuts of the Baladi variety were treated with 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 kGy of gamma irradiation. The irradiated and unirradiated nuts were stored at room temperature (15-18 degree C) and 50-70% r.h. Fungal load, proximate composition (moisture, protein, fat and ash contents), chemical changes and sensory properties of nuts were evaluated immediately after irradiation and after 12 months of storage. The results indicated that gamma irradiation reduced fungal load. The doses applied did not cause any significant change in proximate composition of walnuts. Gamma irradiation increased total acidity and decreased iodide value and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) immediately after treatment. After 12 months of storage, gamma irradiation decreased total acidity and peroxide value and increased iodide value and VBN. No significant differences were observed between irradiated and nonirradiated samples in flavor and aroma immediately after irradiation. After 12 months of storage, higher doses (1.5 and 2.0 kGy) had a negative effect on sensory characteristics.

T1 - Explant pathology study of decellularized carotid artery vascular grafts
AN - 17827667; 5878599
AB - The purpose of this study was to evaluate the morphologic findings in small- diameter freeze-dried decellularized carotid artery grafts implanted in goats as carotid artery interposition grafts for 6-7 months. Unimplanted decellularized carotid artery grafts did not contain intact cells; however, remnants of smooth muscle cells were present in the media. The extracellular matrix was well preserved. All decellularized grafts were patent at explant, without significant dimensional changes or aneurysm formation. Their luminal surfaces were lined by a thin neointima, consisting of myofibroblasts, collagen, and a discontinuous layer of endothelial cells. Histologic evidence of calcification within the explants was not observed; however, electron microscopy showed calcification of minute remnants of cell membranes. Inflammatory cells were not present in the graft wall. Host cell migration was greatest in the adventitia along the length of the graft. Migration of host cells into the media was more apparent close to the anastomoses, forming cellular nests rich in extracellular proteoglycans, whereas cell migration into areas subjacent to the lumen was minimal. Ingrowth of host blood vessels was not observed. These results demonstrate satisfactory structural and morphologic features of a decellularized carotid artery small- diameter graft implanted for up to 7 months.

T1 - Capture of carbon dioxide by solid amine sorbents
AN - 17327917; 6203973
AB - The reaction of tetraethylorthrosilcate (TEOS) with y-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS) has produced stable solid amine sorbents for the capture of carbon dioxide. The resulting amine-enriched silicon sorbent (SBA-15) has been proven to be competitive with existing environmental CO2 controlled life sorbents based on the immobilised amine technology. XPS analysis has indicated that the amine groups (N1s Peak) were incorporated onto the surfaces of this amine-based sorbent in the range of 7%. The performance of the SBA-15 was comparable to the commercially available immobilised amine sorbent (IAS).

T1 - PMF receptor modelling of fine and coarse PM sub(10) in air masses governing monsoon conditions in Hanoi, northern Vietnam
AN - 17219336; 6928856
AB - Fine and coarse PM sub(10) samples collected in Hanoi in 1999-2001 were analysed for black carbon (BC) and water soluble ions (WSI) and measured data were disaggregated according to three types of back trajectories, namely (1) northerly, over inland China, (2) northeasterly, over East China Sea and, (3) southwesterly over Indochina peninsula. Trajectories of types 1, 2 and 3 prevail in September/October-December, January-March/April and May-August, respectively. A source-receptor modelling was performed for each type of trajectories individually using the Positive Matrix Factorisation (PMF) technique. Six or seven sources were extracted for each trajectory type, including soil dust, primary and secondary emissions from local burning (LB), vehicle/road dust, sea salt, Cl-depleted marine aerosols and long-range transport (LRT). LRT contributes little to the coarse mass, but accounts for 50%, 34% and 33% of the fine mass in trajectories of types 1, 2 and 3, respectively. More than two- thirds of the fine mode sulphate are attributed to LRT and associated with ammonium. The comparison of LRT and LB source profiles suggests that air masses arriving from north-northeasterly trajectories are more polluted than those coming from the southwest. Therefore the contribution of LRT's aerosols further enhances the seasonal contrast in the particulate concentration with maximum in winter and minimum in summer. Various mechanisms of sulphate formation in LRT and LB were suggested based on the concentration ratios of [SO sub(4) super(2- )]/[K super(+)], [SO sub(4) super(2-)]/[BC] and [NH sub(4) super(+)]/[SO sub(4) super(2-)] for the two sources.

T1 - RCRA and UIC obligations attendant to closing a facility
AN - 17217480; 6931848
AB - The current competitive global business environment, coupled with the considerations brought about by the existing regulatory regime, might yield the conclusion that a particular facility is too expensive to operate, and that placing it in cold standby or shuttering it altogether is the more cost- effective course. Even in this analysis, cost is an important consideration, particularly the cost of complying with the myriad environmental obligations that will govern a facility's placement in cold standby or closure, because numerous environmental requirements attach to closing a plant. Two of the most important sources of those requirements for facilities that manage hazardous waste and injection-well facilities are the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Plants must hold a RCRA permit to operate hazardous waste storage units, hazardous waste landfills, and hazardous waste container storage areas, which must also be closed in accord with that statute, especially the unit-specific requirements for landfills and surface impoundments. The SDWA governs plants with underground injection wells, which must have an Underground Injection Control permit to operate. This permit governs closure and postclosure activities for the underground injection wells. Finally, other agreements, such as Consent Decrees, may attach closure, postclosure, and interim obligations.

T1 - Groundwater salinity in the Khabour-Euphrates; down-streams valleys
AN - 1637543477; 2014-101481
AB - The Euphrates river water and groundwater in the lower part of the Euphrates and Khabour river valleys, in eastern Syria, have been studied using hydrochemical and environmental isotope methods to assess the hydrogeological features of this system, and then to characterize the dynamic of groundwater salinization in this sector. The Euphrates river water, which was rather fresh (TDS < 0.7 g/L) and has slightly increased in its salinity levels during the last two decades, was generally of a calcium-sodium, sulphate-bicarbonatechloride type. Groundwaters, which were originated from the Euphrates river by a direct lateral inflow, together with a vertical percolation of irrigation water, differ chemically from that of the Euphrates water, mainly in terms of salinity contents and by their evolution pattern towards a sodium-chloride type. This evolution reflects the importantce role of the evaporation process in this dry region, and it agrees with the results of the thermodynamic geochemistry simulation tests based on evaporation of the Euphrates river water. Groundwater salinity could be formed as a result of dissolution of halite and thenardite minerals, largely detected in considerable amounts on the soil surface. Stable isotopes permit a distinction between three groups of waters: 1) groundwater affected by high and slow evaporation processes; 2) groundwater affected by low evaporation process, and 3) groundwater affected by intermediate evaporation process. Relationships between stable isotopes and major ions permit a distinction between two processes that increase the salinity: 1) enrichment by evaporation only; and 2) enrichment by both evaporation and dissolution of salts. The absence of a working drainage system, together with irrigation under high evaporation rates and low depths of the water table, are the primary reasons for the continuous deterioration of groundwater quality and the accumulation of salts in the soils of the study area.

T1 - Dry regenerable sorbents for the separation and capture of CO sub(2) from large point sources
AN - 16192260; 6203972
AB - The combustion of fossil fuels generates large quantities of carbon dioxide (CO sub(2)), a greenhouse gas most likely to influence global warming and climate change. Large stationary sources that include coal-based electric generating stations are plausible targets for the removal of CO sub(2). Chemical absorption of CO sub(2) is viewed as one option that could be applicable for its separation from both fuel gas and flue gas streams. Processes based on solid regenerable sorbents that efficiently absorb CO sub(2) and release it in concentrated form have the potential to be cost-effective relative to solvent-based practices. This communication summarises a preliminary investigation exploring the reaction of CO sub(2) with a number of calcium-based sorbents using a thermogravimetric (TG) analyser. Upon reaction at high temperature with pure CO sub(2), these materials are converted into metal carbonates. Thermal regeneration of the sorbents was accomplished upon heating spent materials to higher temperature in a nitrogen stream. TG studies show the absorption reaction for Ca-based materials was initially rapid and then entered into a slower kinetic regime. Multi-cycle testing conducted within the TG analyser indicated sorbents could be regenerated and reused. Theoretical conversions ranging from 50-75% were observed for the calcium/zirconia sorbents in comparison to 15-20% for the calcium/lanthanum-doped alumina sorbent. Improved conversion was attributed to the pore size differential between mesoporous zirconia and microporous lanthanum-alumina. TG studies performed at 500 degree C with lithium zirconate show that the rate of CO sub(2) absorption was continuous with time on stream. Under nitrogen, rapid regeneration of the lithium carbonate product occurred at temperatures greater than 700kzC.

T1 - The impact of small-scale mining activities on the levels of mercury in the environment: The case of Prestea and its environs
AN - 16183500; 6105428
AB - To obtain the baseline information of mercury pollution due to gold mining activities in Prestea and its environs total mercury (T-Hg) concentrations were measured in water and stream sediment. The samples were analyzed by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). They were irradiated and counted without any preconcentration. Higher levels of T-Hg concentration were found in samples at the sites with extensive small-scale 'galamsey' gold mining activities than at the sites with low small-scale 'galamsey' activities. Concentrations varied between 6.80-19.82 mg/l for water and 28.90-84.30 mg/kg in sediment at sites with extensive small-scale mining activities. At low small-scale mining sites concentration levels for T-Hg varied between 0.50-9.10 mg/l and 1.20-22.75 mg/kg in water and sediment, respectively. The concentration levels of T-Hg in water from all the sampling sites are in excess of the WHO tolerable limit of 0.001 mg/l for drinking water.

T1 - Radiation-Induced Degradation and the Effect of Scavengers on Benzene, Monochlorobenzene and 1,2-Dichlorobenzene in Aqueous Solutions
AN - 16180509; 6044326
AB - The degradation of benzene, monochlorobenzene and 1,2-dichlorobenzene in aqueous solution by gamma irradiation was investigated. The effect of the irradiated solution composition was studied. The results showed that benzene is more resistant to destruction than chlorinated benzenes. The presence of oxidizing and reducing reactive species and the rapid reaction rates with halogenated benzenes increased the degradation rate of the pollutants. Dechlorination of CB and 1,2-DCB was observed. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and spectroscopy (UV-Vis) were used to monitor changes in the radiation solutions. The final aqueous irradiation products were shown to be a complex mixture of by-products. The addition of scavengers such as methanol and ethanol required larger doses to decompose the pollutants when compared to those solutions with no additives.

T1 - PMF [Positive Matrix Factorisation] receptor modelling of fine and coarse PM sub(10) in air masses governing monsoon conditions in Hanoi, northern Vietnam
AN - 16169713; 5890940
AB - Fine and coarse PM sub(10) samples collected in Hanoi in 1999-2001 were analysed for black carbon (BC) and water soluble ions (WSI) and measured data were disaggregated according to three types of back trajectories, namely (1) northerly, over inland China, (2) northeasterly, over East China Sea and, (3) southwesterly over Indochina Peninsula. Trajectories of types 1, 2 and 3 prevail in September/October-December, January-March/April and May-August, respectively. A source-receptor modelling was performed for each type of trajectories individually using the Positive Matrix Factorisation (PMF) technique. Six or seven sources were extracted for each trajectory type, including soil dust, primary and secondary emissions from local burning (LB), vehicle/road dust, sea salt, Cl-depleted marine aerosols and long-range transport (LRT). LRT contributes little to the coarse mass, but accounts for 50%, 34% and 33% of the fine mass in trajectories of types 1, 2 and 3, respectively. More than two- thirds of the fine mode sulphate are attributed to LRT and associated with ammonium. The comparison of LRT and LB source profiles suggests that air masses arriving from north-northeasterly trajectories are more polluted than those coming from the southwest. Therefore the contribution of LRT's aerosols further enhances the seasonal contrast in the particulate concentration with maximum in winter and minimum in summer. Various mechanisms of sulphate formation in LRT and LB were suggested based on the concentration ratios of [SO sub(4) super(2- )]/[K super(+)], [SO sub(4) super(2-)]/[BC] and [NH sub(4) super(+)]/[SO sub(4) super(2-)] for the two sources.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: H.B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT NO. 2, DARLINGTON AND CHESTERFIELD COUNTIES, SOUTH CAROLINA (THIRTEENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36434935; 10542
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Unit 2 of the H.B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, located on a site in Darlinton and Chesterfield counties South Carolina for an additional 20 years is proposed in this 13th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, Carolina Power and Light Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. The remaining 23 issues that apply to the unit are addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is July 21, 2010. The power station is located on a 6,020-acre site, which includes the 2,250-acre Lake Robinson. The Darlington County Internal Combustion Turbine Electric Plant is also located on the site. The nuclear unit consists of a pressurized water reactor, with a three-loop Westinghouse steam supply system. The unit iw rates at 2,30 megawatts (MW) thermal, with a corresponding nominal net electrical output of approximately 70 MW-electric. The reactor, which was placed in service in 1970, is housed within a dry, reinforced concrete, steel-lined containment structure. The unit reactor system consists of a pressurized-water reactor and its associated coolant system designed by Combustion Engineering. The steam and power conversion system, including its turbine generator, is designed to permit the generation of a net electrical output of 276 megawatts (MWe). The reactor is licensed to allow operation at the system's full-rate power level of 1,500 MW-thermal. Plant cooling is provided by the three-loop cooling system, Cooling water is obtained from and discharged to Lake Robinson. Two groundwater production wells provide makeup water for Unit 1 and sanitary water for both units 1 and 2; three additional wells are used to provide makeup water for Unit 1. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four 230-kilovolt transmission lines, extending a total of 46 miles deliver electricity generated by the plant to the regional grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewal would allow for the continued operation of Unit 2, providing power to the applicant's consumer electrical grid and continuing to support regional population and economic growth. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw million gallons of process water from the Lake Robinson and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the lake from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the nearshore area. 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 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 03-0377D, Volume 27, Number 4. For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

The reactor, which was placed in service in 1970, is housed within a dry, reinforced concrete, steel-lined containment structure. The unit reactor system consists of a pressurized-water reactor and its associated coolant system designed by Combustion Engineering. The steam and power conversion system, including its turbine generator, is designed to permit the generation of a net electrical output of 276 megawatts (MWe). The reactor is licensed to allow operation at the system's full-rate power level of 1,500 MW-thermal. Plant cooling is provided by the three-loop cooling system, Cooling water is obtained from and discharged to Lake Robinson. Two groundwater production wells provide makeup water for Unit 1 and sanitary water for both units 1 and 2; three additional wells are used to provide makeup water for Unit 1. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four 230-kilovolt transmission lines, extending a total of 46 miles deliver electricity generated by the plant to the regional grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewal would allow for the continued operation of Unit 2, providing power to the applicant's consumer electrical grid and continuing to support regional population and economic growth. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw million gallons of process water from the Lake Robinson and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the lake from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the nearshore area. 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 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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).

T1 - Pore Exclusion Chromatography-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry for Monitoring Elements in Bacteria: A Study on Microbial Removal of Uranium from Aqueous Solution
AN - 18003981; 5937002
AB - The interstitial spaces between spherical particles in a packed column can act as a sieve that passes microorganisms below a certain size. If the bed is a perfusion-type material (containing a binary distribution of large and small pores), colloidal-size microorganisms are subject only to pore exclusion, while all molecules are subject to size exclusion among the various pores. Thus, microorganisms elute first, followed by macromolecules, and then small molecules. Coupling this separation method to an ICP magnetic sector mass spectrometer provides a sensitive, direct means to study the microbial uptake of heavy metals (i.e., uranium) from their surrounding environments. Multiple metal ions can be monitored in the microorganism and in the surrounding solution. In this way, definitive information can be provided for the remediation of radioactive waste sites. The effect of uranium on microbial growth is also discussed.

T1 - Monte Carlo determination of the lead equivalent for Syrian building bricks for diagnostic x ray.
AN - 71380691; 14626326
AB - The uncertainty band associated with the transmission curve for 100 kVp x ray in lead was determined using Monte Carlo methods and the sensitivity analysis approach. All uncertainty sources (statistical, systematical and the uncertainties arising from the diversity of x-ray tubes) were taken into account. The transmission of 100 kVp x ray in Syrian building bricks was then computed together with the uncertainty associated with it. Finally, the lead equivalent thicknesses for 10, 15, and 20-cm-thick bricks were estimated. The results are in good agreement with experimental results. This study recommends, as a rule of thumb, to use the lead-equivalent values of 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 mm for the 10, 15, and 20-cm-thick building bricks, respectively.

T1 - Productive performance of broiler chicks fed diets containing irradiated meat-bone meal
AN - 19946822; 5745514
AB - Experiments were carried out to study the changes in the values of feed efficiency (FE), total protein efficiency (TPE) and metabolizable energy efficiency (MEE) of broiler chicks fed during four age periods (14-21, 21-28, 28-35 and 35-42 days). Five experimental diets were similar in composition but different in the irradiation dose (0, 5, 10, 25 or 50 kGy) applied to the meat- bone meal content of each diet. The results indicated that feeding of broiler chicks on irradiated meat-bone meal (5-50 kGy) had no significant (P>0.05) effects on FE, TPE, MEE and body weight gain during the four experimental age periods. The average values of the FE (feed consumption/weight gain), TPE (weight gain/total protein consumption) and MEE (metabolizable energy consumption in MJ/kg gain) were 1.96, 2.59 and 23.13, respectively. The values of FE and MEE increased while TPE decreased significantly (P<0.05) with age. The pooled FE value was 1.60 during the 14-21 days of age and increased to 2.66 from 35-42 days of age. However, the TPE value was 3.01 during the 14-21-day age period and decreased to 1.82 over the 35-42-day age period. The energy consumption value to produce one kg of body weight increased during the 35-42- day period by 7.71-12.72 MJ/kg gain in comparison with that from the other experimental age periods. Weight gain rate decreased significantly (P<0.05) during the 35-42-day period (66 g/week/bird) when compared with the rate observed during the 14 through 35-day age period.

T2 - CHEMISTRY AND METALLURGY RESEARCH BUILDING REPLACEMENT PROJECT AT LOS ALAMOS NATIONAL LABORATORY, LOS ALAMOS, NEW MEXICO.
AN - 36357030; 10500-030522_0015
AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research (CMR) Building at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New Mexico is proposed. The CMR Building, constructed in the early 1950s, houses most of LANL's analytical chemistry (AC) and materials characterization (MC) capabilities. Other capabilities at the CMR Building include actinide processing, waste characterization, and nondestructive analysis that support a variety of nuclear materials management programs. In 1992, the Department of Energy (DOE) initiated planning and implementation of CMR Building upgrades to address specific safety, reliability, consolidation, and security and safeguard issues. In 1997 and 1998, a series of operational, safety, and seismic issues surfaced regarding the long-term viability of the CMR Building. Based on these findings, the DOE determined that the extensive upgrades original planned would be much more expensive and time consuming and of only marginal effectiveness. As a result, DOE decided to perform only the upgrades necessary to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the CMR Building through 2010 and to seek an alternative path for long-term reliability. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would involve continued use of the existing CMR Building, and four construction options are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 1), the project would involve construction of two or three buildings at the LANL within the 40-acre Technical Area 55 (TA-55) site, located 1.1 miles south of the Los Alamos town site. Analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities would be moved from the existing CMR Building into the new buildings using a phased approach and operations would resume at the new buildings in a staged manner, providing for a period of operational overlap between the CMR Building and the new Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Building Replacement (CMRR). The existing CMR Building would be dispositioned; three disposition options are considered, including reuse of the building and decontamination, decommissioning, and partial or full demolition of the building. One of the new buildings within TA-55 would provide administrative offices and support activities and would include cafeteria space and lite laboratory space used for such activities as glovebox mockup, training, and general research and development. The lite laboratory space would contain only small quantities of nuclear materials. The CMRR would provide for analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities, AC and MC capabilities consolidated from the Plutonium Facility located within YA-55, special nuclear materials storage, large containment vessel handling capability, Mission contingency space, and nuclear materials operational capabilities and space for non-LANL users. Existing CMR capabilities and activities not proposed for inclusion within the CMRR facility would include the Wing 9 Hot Cell operations, medical isotope production, uranium production and surveillance activities, nonproliferation training, and other capabilities that are available elsewhere at DOE sites other than LANL. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the CMRR would provide for safe, up-to-date AC and MC research capabilities within one consolidate locations, along with space for related and unrelated research. Peak construction activities would employ 300 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would displace 26.75 acres of land and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, though the area is highly disturbed already. Construction requirements would consume well over 3.0 million gallons of water and approximately 315 megawatt-hours of electricity. Approximately 4,800 cubic meters of concrete and 407 metric tons of steel would be required. The project would generate approximately 535 metric tons of nonhazardous waste. Removal and transportation of hazardous materials from the CMR Building would slightly increase the hazard of the release of radioactive materials, but an accident causing a significant release would be extremely unlikely.

AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research (CMR) Building at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New Mexico is proposed. The CMR Building, constructed in the early 1950s, houses most of LANL's analytical chemistry (AC) and materials characterization (MC) capabilities. Other capabilities at the CMR Building include actinide processing, waste characterization, and nondestructive analysis that support a variety of nuclear materials management programs. In 1992, the Department of Energy (DOE) initiated planning and implementation of CMR Building upgrades to address specific safety, reliability, consolidation, and security and safeguard issues. In 1997 and 1998, a series of operational, safety, and seismic issues surfaced regarding the long-term viability of the CMR Building. Based on these findings, the DOE determined that the extensive upgrades original planned would be much more expensive and time consuming and of only marginal effectiveness. As a result, DOE decided to perform only the upgrades necessary to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the CMR Building through 2010 and to seek an alternative path for long-term reliability. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would involve continued use of the existing CMR Building, and four construction options are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 1), the project would involve construction of two or three buildings at the LANL within the 40-acre Technical Area 55 (TA-55) site, located 1.1 miles south of the Los Alamos town site. Analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities would be moved from the existing CMR Building into the new buildings using a phased approach and operations would resume at the new buildings in a staged manner, providing for a period of operational overlap between the CMR Building and the new Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Building Replacement (CMRR). The existing CMR Building would be dispositioned; three disposition options are considered, including reuse of the building and decontamination, decommissioning, and partial or full demolition of the building. One of the new buildings within TA-55 would provide administrative offices and support activities and would include cafeteria space and lite laboratory space used for such activities as glovebox mockup, training, and general research and development. The lite laboratory space would contain only small quantities of nuclear materials. The CMRR would provide for analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities, AC and MC capabilities consolidated from the Plutonium Facility located within YA-55, special nuclear materials storage, large containment vessel handling capability, Mission contingency space, and nuclear materials operational capabilities and space for non-LANL users. Existing CMR capabilities and activities not proposed for inclusion within the CMRR facility would include the Wing 9 Hot Cell operations, medical isotope production, uranium production and surveillance activities, nonproliferation training, and other capabilities that are available elsewhere at DOE sites other than LANL. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the CMRR would provide for safe, up-to-date AC and MC research capabilities within one consolidate locations, along with space for related and unrelated research. Peak construction activities would employ 300 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would displace 26.75 acres of land and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, though the area is highly disturbed already. Construction requirements would consume well over 3.0 million gallons of water and approximately 315 megawatt-hours of electricity. Approximately 4,800 cubic meters of concrete and 407 metric tons of steel would be required. The project would generate approximately 535 metric tons of nonhazardous waste. Removal and transportation of hazardous materials from the CMR Building would slightly increase the hazard of the release of radioactive materials, but an accident causing a significant release would be extremely unlikely.

Analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities would be moved from the existing CMR Building into the new buildings using a phased approach and operations would resume at the new buildings in a staged manner, providing for a period of operational overlap between the CMR Building and the new Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Building Replacement (CMRR). The existing CMR Building would be dispositioned; three disposition options are considered, including reuse of the building and decontamination, decommissioning, and partial or full demolition of the building. One of the new buildings within TA-55 would provide administrative offices and support activities and would include cafeteria space and lite laboratory space used for such activities as glovebox mockup, training, and general research and development. The lite laboratory space would contain only small quantities of nuclear materials. The CMRR would provide for analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities, AC and MC capabilities consolidated from the Plutonium Facility located within YA-55, special nuclear materials storage, large containment vessel handling capability, Mission contingency space, and nuclear materials operational capabilities and space for non-LANL users. Existing CMR capabilities and activities not proposed for inclusion within the CMRR facility would include the Wing 9 Hot Cell operations, medical isotope production, uranium production and surveillance activities, nonproliferation training, and other capabilities that are available elsewhere at DOE sites other than LANL. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the CMRR would provide for safe, up-to-date AC and MC research capabilities within one consolidate locations, along with space for related and unrelated research. Peak construction activities would employ 300 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would displace 26.75 acres of land and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, though the area is highly disturbed already. Construction requirements would consume well over 3.0 million gallons of water and approximately 315 megawatt-hours of electricity. Approximately 4,800 cubic meters of concrete and 407 metric tons of steel would be required. The project would generate approximately 535 metric tons of nonhazardous waste. Removal and transportation of hazardous materials from the CMR Building would slightly increase the hazard of the release of radioactive materials, but an accident causing a significant release would be extremely unlikely.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would displace 26.75 acres of land and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, though the area is highly disturbed already. Construction requirements would consume well over 3.0 million gallons of water and approximately 315 megawatt-hours of electricity. Approximately 4,800 cubic meters of concrete and 407 metric tons of steel would be required. The project would generate approximately 535 metric tons of nonhazardous waste. Removal and transportation of hazardous materials from the CMR Building would slightly increase the hazard of the release of radioactive materials, but an accident causing a significant release would be extremely unlikely.

AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research (CMR) Building at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New Mexico is proposed. The CMR Building, constructed in the early 1950s, houses most of LANL's analytical chemistry (AC) and materials characterization (MC) capabilities. Other capabilities at the CMR Building include actinide processing, waste characterization, and nondestructive analysis that support a variety of nuclear materials management programs. In 1992, the Department of Energy (DOE) initiated planning and implementation of CMR Building upgrades to address specific safety, reliability, consolidation, and security and safeguard issues. In 1997 and 1998, a series of operational, safety, and seismic issues surfaced regarding the long-term viability of the CMR Building. Based on these findings, the DOE determined that the extensive upgrades original planned would be much more expensive and time consuming and of only marginal effectiveness. As a result, DOE decided to perform only the upgrades necessary to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the CMR Building through 2010 and to seek an alternative path for long-term reliability. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would involve continued use of the existing CMR Building, and four construction options are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 1), the project would involve construction of two or three buildings at the LANL within the 40-acre Technical Area 55 (TA-55) site, located 1.1 miles south of the Los Alamos town site. Analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities would be moved from the existing CMR Building into the new buildings using a phased approach and operations would resume at the new buildings in a staged manner, providing for a period of operational overlap between the CMR Building and the new Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Building Replacement (CMRR). The existing CMR Building would be dispositioned; three disposition options are considered, including reuse of the building and decontamination, decommissioning, and partial or full demolition of the building. One of the new buildings within TA-55 would provide administrative offices and support activities and would include cafeteria space and lite laboratory space used for such activities as glovebox mockup, training, and general research and development. The lite laboratory space would contain only small quantities of nuclear materials. The CMRR would provide for analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities, AC and MC capabilities consolidated from the Plutonium Facility located within YA-55, special nuclear materials storage, large containment vessel handling capability, Mission contingency space, and nuclear materials operational capabilities and space for non-LANL users. Existing CMR capabilities and activities not proposed for inclusion within the CMRR facility would include the Wing 9 Hot Cell operations, medical isotope production, uranium production and surveillance activities, nonproliferation training, and other capabilities that are available elsewhere at DOE sites other than LANL. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the CMRR would provide for safe, up-to-date AC and MC research capabilities within one consolidate locations, along with space for related and unrelated research. Peak construction activities would employ 300 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would displace 26.75 acres of land and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, though the area is highly disturbed already. Construction requirements would consume well over 3.0 million gallons of water and approximately 315 megawatt-hours of electricity. Approximately 4,800 cubic meters of concrete and 407 metric tons of steel would be required. The project would generate approximately 535 metric tons of nonhazardous waste.

AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research (CMR) Building at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New Mexico is proposed. The CMR Building, constructed in the early 1950s, houses most of LANL's analytical chemistry (AC) and materials characterization (MC) capabilities. Other capabilities at the CMR Building include actinide processing, waste characterization, and nondestructive analysis that support a variety of nuclear materials management programs. In 1992, the Department of Energy (DOE) initiated planning and implementation of CMR Building upgrades to address specific safety, reliability, consolidation, and security and safeguard issues. In 1997 and 1998, a series of operational, safety, and seismic issues surfaced regarding the long-term viability of the CMR Building. Based on these findings, the DOE determined that the extensive upgrades original planned would be much more expensive and time consuming and of only marginal effectiveness. As a result, DOE decided to perform only the upgrades necessary to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the CMR Building through 2010 and to seek an alternative path for long-term reliability. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would involve continued use of the existing CMR Building, and four construction options are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 1), the project would involve construction of two or three buildings at the LANL within the 40-acre Technical Area 55 (TA-55) site, located 1.1 miles south of the Los Alamos town site. Analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities would be moved from the existing CMR Building into the new buildings using a phased approach and operations would resume at the new buildings in a staged manner, providing for a period of operational overlap between the CMR Building and the new Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Building Replacement (CMRR). The existing CMR Building would be dispositioned; three disposition options are considered, including reuse of the building and decontamination, decommissioning, and partial or full demolition of the building. One of the new buildings within TA-55 would provide administrative offices and support activities and would include cafeteria space and lite laboratory space used for such activities as glovebox mockup, training, and general research and development. The lite laboratory space would contain only small quantities of nuclear materials. The CMRR would provide for analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities, AC and MC capabilities consolidated from the Plutonium Facility located within YA-55, special nuclear materials storage, large containment vessel handling capability, Mission contingency space, and nuclear materials operational capabilities and space for non-LANL users. Existing CMR capabilities and activities not proposed for inclusion within the CMRR facility would include the Wing 9 Hot Cell operations, medical isotope production, uranium production and surveillance activities, nonproliferation training, and other capabilities that are available elsewhere at DOE sites other than LANL. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the CMRR would provide for safe, up-to-date AC and MC research capabilities within one consolidate locations, along with space for related and unrelated research. Peak construction activities would employ 300 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would displace 26.75 acres of land and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, though the area is highly disturbed already. Construction requirements would consume well over 3.0 million gallons of water and approximately 315 megawatt-hours of electricity. Approximately 4,800 cubic meters of concrete and 407 metric tons of steel would be required. The project would generate approximately 535 metric tons of nonhazardous waste. Removal and transportation of hazardous materials from the CMR Building would slightly increase the hazard of the release of radioactive materials, but an accident causing a significant release would be extremely unlikely.

AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research (CMR) Building at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New Mexico is proposed. The CMR Building, constructed in the early 1950s, houses most of LANL's analytical chemistry (AC) and materials characterization (MC) capabilities. Other capabilities at the CMR Building include actinide processing, waste characterization, and nondestructive analysis that support a variety of nuclear materials management programs. In 1992, the Department of Energy (DOE) initiated planning and implementation of CMR Building upgrades to address specific safety, reliability, consolidation, and security and safeguard issues. In 1997 and 1998, a series of operational, safety, and seismic issues surfaced regarding the long-term viability of the CMR Building. Based on these findings, the DOE determined that the extensive upgrades original planned would be much more expensive and time consuming and of only marginal effectiveness. As a result, DOE decided to perform only the upgrades necessary to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the CMR Building through 2010 and to seek an alternative path for long-term reliability. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would involve continued use of the existing CMR Building, and four construction options are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 1), the project would involve construction of two or three buildings at the LANL within the 40-acre Technical Area 55 (TA-55) site, located 1.1 miles south of the Los Alamos town site. Analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities would be moved from the existing CMR Building into the new buildings using a phased approach and operations would resume at the new buildings in a staged manner, providing for a period of operational overlap between the CMR Building and the new Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Building Replacement (CMRR). The existing CMR Building would be dispositioned; three disposition options are considered, including reuse of the building and decontamination, decommissioning, and partial or full demolition of the building. One of the new buildings within TA-55 would provide administrative offices and support activities and would include cafeteria space and lite laboratory space used for such activities as glovebox mockup, training, and general research and development. The lite laboratory space would contain only small quantities of nuclear materials. The CMRR would provide for analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities, AC and MC capabilities consolidated from the Plutonium Facility located within YA-55, special nuclear materials storage, large containment vessel handling capability, Mission contingency space, and nuclear materials operational capabilities and space for non-LANL users. Existing CMR capabilities and activities not proposed for inclusion within the CMRR facility would include the Wing 9 Hot Cell operations, medical isotope production, uranium production and surveillance activities, nonproliferation training, and other capabilities that are available elsewhere at DOE sites other than LANL. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the CMRR would provide for safe, up-to-date AC and MC research capabilities within one consolidate locations, along with space for related and unrelated research. Peak construction activities would employ 300 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would displace 26.75 acres of land and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, though the area is highly disturbed already. Construction requirements would consume well over 3.0 million gallons of water and approximately 315 megawatt-hours of electricity. Approximately 4,800 cubic meters of concrete and 407 metric tons of steel would be required. The project would generate approximately 535 metric tons of nonhazardous waste. Removal and transportation of hazardous materials from the CMR Building would slightly increase the hazard of the release of radioactive materials, but an accident causing a significant release would be extremely unlikely.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, ROCK ISLAND COUNTY, ILLINOIS. (SIXTEENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 16368052; 10492
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station Rock Island County, Illinois is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 16th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, South Carolina Electric and Gas Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 unit in this supplement to the final EIS. One issue was identified as potentially significant, specifically, electric shock from induced current along transmission line corridors. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which August 14, 2012. The power station, which is located within a 871-acre site on the east bank of Pool 14 of the Mississippi River between Lock and Dams 13 and 14, consists of two units equipped with nuclear steam supply systems, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that use boiling water reactors, once-through condenser cooling systems that withdrawal from and discharge to Pool 14, closed-cycle cooling water systems, and steam generators connected to the reactor vessel. Each unit is rated at 2,957 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 930 MW-electric. Units 1 and 2, which were respectively placed in service in February and March of 1983, are refueled on a 24-month schedule. The reactors are housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Five 345-kilovolt transmission lines, with a combined length of approximately 110 miles, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Pool 14 and deliver makeup water back to the pool. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the impoundment. 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. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

T1 - Synergetic effect of gamma irradiation and moisture content on decontamination of sewage sludge.
AN - 73527073; 12895556
AB - Samples of concentrated municipal sewage sludge, stored for 2, 4 and 6 months, with moisture contents of 2%, 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% were exposed to doses of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 kilogray (kGy) of gamma irradiation. Immediately after irradiation, total microbial count and bacterial pathogens in sewage sludge were determined. The results indicated that in all tested sewage sludge samples, bacterial pathogens including Enterobacter sp., Klebsiella sp., Salmonella sp., and Escherichia coli were initially detected. All doses of gamma irradiation reduced the total counts of microorganisms. D(10) of total count decreased with increase in the moisture content of the sewage sludge. The lowest lethal dose for tested bacterial pathogens was 5 kGy in air dried sewage sludge. In addition for wet sewage sludge having more than 40% moisture, the lethal dose was 1 kGy, for samples taken at different storage periods 2, 4 and 6 months, and therefore the cost per unit could be decreased to half when wet sewage sludge (about 50% moisture) was used.

T1 - Twenty-five years of site characterization at Yucca Mountain
AN - 51844231; 2004-040891
AB - In 1987, Congress legislated that Yucca Mountain would be the only site characterized for a geologic repository for high-level nuclear waste. Until that time, the U.S. had studied a variety of sites and areas to a limited extent, including those in bedded salt, salt domes, crystalline rocks, volcanic tuff and basalt. Yucca Mountain is now perhaps the most thoroughly studied site on Earth. The key question that defined the site characterization program was whether Yucca Mountain would safely isolate spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste for the regulatory period of 10,000 years. Congress' decision to concentrate study at Yucca Mountain presented unique challenges because of its hydrogeologic setting in a deep unsaturated environment and its location in the tectonically active Basin and Range physiographic province. Specifically, the amount and timing of infiltration and flow in the unsaturated zone (UZ) and the location of flow pathways required investigation. Whether flow was steady or transient, what portion of flow occurs in fractures vs. the rock matrix, the relative proportion of flowing fractures, and the existence of fast pathways were some of the key hydrologic questions. Transport properties of the volcanic and alluvial media encountered along portions of the flow paths were also important. The flow regimes required consideration in the context of future climate predictions as well as present conditions. The future potential for volcanism and seismicity to disturb Yucca Mountain was also of high priority for investigation. The studies presented in this session cover the breadth of site characterization activities over 25 years. Some of the work has been published and some is presented here for the first time. Collectively, this body of work forms the basis for a conceptual understanding of the processes anticipated to occur at Yucca Mountain in the future and will provide the foundation for the U.S. Department of Energy's License Application.

T1 - Educational outreach activities sponsored by the National Energy Technology Laboratory, U. S. Department of Energy
AN - 51843726; 2004-040934
AB - The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has assembled a group of scientists and engineers from the staff to provide time and technical knowledge for K-12 Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia school districts. These volunteers act as resources for laboratory visits and classroom lectures/demonstrations. NETL sponsors ten high school or middle school teachers to serve as paid interns during the summer months at either the Pittsburgh or Morgantown site. They assist a scientist or engineer with an on-going research projects and incorporate the experience into their lesson plans. Both laboratory sites host a regional High School Science Bowl where the respective team winners compete against some 50 other regional team winners at the DOE National Science Bowl held in Washington, D.C., each year. Questions are taken from the fields of science, mathematics and computer science. The Energy, Environment and Economics (EEE) Seminar is organized yearly for K-6 teachers. The seminar is a two-day workshop, consisting of hands-on activities, conducted by NETL personnel, university professors and local science organizations/museums. Site tours are scheduled throughout the school year to provide K-12 students the opportunity to observe and interact with researchers on how a variety of science experiments are being conducted. School classroom presentations are also a major activity of NETL personnel for K-12 students. These presentations include hands-on activities in all fields of science, engineering and computer applications. NETL also participates in the National Earth Day by sponsoring a poster contest for K-5 students. Three winning posters are selected from each grade and displayed at the site. The NETL website (www.netl.doe/cool science/index.html) serves as the main source of communication with the educational community. Details of the above programs and other educational outreach activities sponsored by NETL can be found on this website.

T1 - The effect of Peace Corps on a geologist's career
AN - 51787902; 2004-081216
AB - Early, in 1963, the late Dr. William Donn, Research Geophysicist at Lamont Geological Observatory and Professor of Geology at Brooklyn College, CUNY stated his belief that my prospective Peace Corps service in Ghana would provide career opportunities that might otherwise be unavailable. 40 years later, his insight has proved true. At 21 years of age, I held a B.Sc. in geology and had little experience beyond geology field camp in Utah. My academic interests were uncertain, and my professional goals were secondary to residing in New York City, the Center of my Universe. My Peace Corps service in Ghana, 1963-65, did lead to many opportunities and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (RPCV) geologists played a major role. A fellow PCV geologist convinced me to attend graduate school at the University of Texas, where I studied hard rock economic geology, and my MA thesis evaluated a silver mining district in the Sierra Madre of Durango, Mexico. I returned to the Ghana Geological Survey in 1969 to study gold deposits. In 1973, an RPCV's recommendation led the US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) to hire me to evaluate domestic uranium resources. Another RPCV was Vice President of the mining company that hired me in 1981. In 1982, my AEC and Peace Corps experience led the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to select me to evaluate uranium resources in Uganda and Somalia, and in 1984, an RPCV aided my return to DOE. One year later, DOE chose me to develop a multi-national study of a Brazilian uranium deposit as an analogue to a nuclear waste repository. In 1989, DOE selected me to manage all international technical cooperative programs in deep geologic disposal, and I was later appointed as US Delegate to an OECD/Nuclear Energy Agency Technical Advisory Group in Paris, where I have served for 14 years. I've lived and worked in the West for 30 of the past 40 years, spent eight overseas and only two in the eastern US. I studied mineral deposits for 20 years, and since 1984, my efforts have been devoted to the deep geologic disposal of nuclear waste. The Peace Corps unquestionably defined my career and paved my way to participate in scientific programs in 20 countries on five continents.

T1 - Risk insights for use in the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's program for the proposed Yucca Mountain repository
AN - 51781590; 2004-083307
AB - The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has directed its staff to carry out risk-informed, performance-based regulatory programs. Disposal of high-level radioactive waste requires a NRC license. The governing regulations are contained in Part 63 under Title 10 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations ("Disposal of High-Level Radioactive Wastes in a Proposed Geologic Repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada"). The governing regulations require an estimation of risk of radiation exposure to the reasonably maximally exposed individual as part of the performance objectives. The post-closure performance objectives also require that the geologic repository include multiple barriers consisting of both natural barriers and an engineered barrier system. Prior to making its licensing decision, the NRC will determine whether the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has demonstrated compliance with the performance objectives. The NRC staff have developed risk insights, the results and findings from risk assessments, to support a risk-informed and performance-based regulatory program during both the pre-licensing and potential licensing phases. The insights provide a system-level perspective on the relative significance of features, events and processes judged relative to the dose-based performance criteria and uncertainties. The NRC staff identified the insights based on review of and experience with total system performance assessments, subsystem analyses, and auxiliary calculations. The staff judged significance by evaluating the impact on current risk estimates and uncertainties in the risk estimates, taking into account the performance of multiple barriers (i.e., defense-in-depth). Generally, high-risk significance during the post-closure period is associated with features, events, and processes that could significantly affect a large number of waste packages, releases from the waste package or the transport of radionuclides through the geosphere. The NRC staff views expressed herein are preliminary and do not constitute a final judgement or determination of the matters addressed or of the acceptability of a license application for a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain.

T1 - Tools and guidance for independently evaluating the safety of the proposed Yucca Mountain repository
AN - 51781176; 2004-083308
AB - Disposal of high-level nuclear waste requires a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license. Part 63 under Title 10 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations ("Disposal of High-Level Radioactive Wastes in a Proposed Geologic Repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada") contains the governing regulations. These governing regulations are risk-informed and performance-based. The NRC will determine whether to issue a construction authorization and license for the proposed repository based, in part, on whether the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has demonstrated compliance with the performance objectives. The NRC staff have developed specific guidance and tools to aid in conducting a risk-informed and performance-based regulatory program, including its licensing review. The Yucca Mountain Review Plan is guidance to the NRC staff for review of any license application from the DOE for a geologic repository for disposal of high-level radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The review plan has separate sections for reviews of repository safety before permanent closure and repository safety after permanent closure. The NRC staff, along with its contractor, the Center for Nuclear Waste Analyses (CNWRA), have developed the Pre-Closure Safety Analysis (PCSA) Tool for use in the review of repository safety before permanent closure and the Total-System Performance (TPA) code for use in the review of repository safety after permanent closure. The PCSA tool combines parts of the integrated safety analysis methods used in the chemical industry and the risk assessment capabilities and tools used in the safety assessment of nuclear power reactors. The TPA code is a probabilistic performance assessment tool designed to simulate various natural and repository-induced processes that are expected to affect the long-term performance of the proposed repository. These tools and guidance will be further described in the presentation. The NRC staff views expressed herein are preliminary and do not constitute a final judgement or determination of the matters addressed or of the acceptability of a license application for a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain.

T1 - Characterization of the B-BX-BY waste management area, Hanford Site, Washington
AN - 51779230; 2004-083312
AB - The purpose of the 200 Areas Vadose Zone Characterization Project is to detect and quantify naturally occurring and man-made gamma-emitting radionuclides in the vadose zone by logging existing boreholes at the Hanford Site. High-resolution spectral gamma log data have been acquired in more than 260 vadose zone boreholes and groundwater monitoring wells located in and near the B-BX-BY Waste Management Area (WMA). In addition to three tank farms (underground waste storage), this area includes several major radioactive liquid waste disposal sites. Man-made uranium was detected only in the vadose zone northeast of tank BX-102 (BX Tank Farm) and in one borehole near the 216-B-7B Crib. A subsurface plume of man-made uranium contamination has been identified. This uranium originates near tank BX-102 and appears to intercept groundwater at a depth of approximately 250 ft and a lateral distance of 400 ft northeast from its presumed source. Geophysical log data indicate that this contamination reached this point between 1991 and 1997. Uranium migration may be following a stratigraphic dip northeast. Groundwater monitoring data collected by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory indicate that uranium was first detected in groundwater in January 1994 northeast of tank BX-102. Since 1994, the uranium plume in the groundwater appears to have migrated to the northwest. Results of the 200 Areas Vadose Zone Characterization Project are posted on the Internet at: http://www.gjo.doe.gov/programs/hanf/HTFVZ.html.

T1 - Hanford Tank Farms Vadose Zone Monitoring Project
AN - 51768471; 2005-004150
AB - The Hanford Tank Farms Vadose Zone Monitoring Project (VZMP) was established in fiscal year (FY) 2001 for routine monitoring of 760 existing boreholes in Hanford single-shell tank farms. A baseline record of existing contamination associated with gamma-emitting radionuclides in the vadose zone was established between 1995 and 2000 using high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors. Evaluation of the baseline data allows specific borehole intervals and frequencies to be identified for monitoring purposes. Because radionuclide identity and concentration are known from the baseline data, it is only necessary to detect changes between successive log runs. Long-term stability of a contaminant plume can be demonstrated by showing that changes between successive log runs are consistent with the radioactive decay process. The logging system used for monitoring utilizes thallium-activated sodium iodide (NaI[Tl]) detectors to measure gamma activity over a wide range. Although less precise, it is simpler, faster, and more cost-effective. Monitoring measurements collected are compared to the baseline data to assess the long-term stability of the radionuclide contaminant profile in the vadose zone. Approximately 430 of the 760 boreholes have been monitored as of July 2003. Only 30 of these boreholes have shown evidence of contaminant movement, most of which cannot be confirmed in the short term. The monitoring system and moisture measurements are currently being utilized to evaluate potential impacts to the vadose zone during the tank waste retrieval process. These data will also prove valuable during the tank/tank farm closure process to help determine the long-term mobility of contaminants remaining in the vadose zone. Results of the Hanford Tank Farms Vadose Zone Monitoring Project are posted on the Internet at: http://www.gjo.doe.gov/programs/hanf/HTFVZ.html.

T1 - Germinability of Cochliobolus sativus Conidia Exposed to Solar Radiation
AN - 17502786; 6403604
AB - Under field conditions, conidia of Cochliobolus sativus, the causal agent of barley spot blotch, were exposed to direct solar radiation or placed in a ventilated enclosure in darkness for 0.5-12 h. In addition, conidia were either exposed or not exposed to UV light (254 nm) from 1 to 75 min in the laboratory. Conidia were placed after exposure on water agar in closed Petri dishes and allowed to germinate for 24 h. Germinability of conidia was reduced up to 99% after 12 h of exposure to solar irradiance (G sub(S)) (690-900 w/m super(2)). Germinability of conidia that were not exposed to sunlight (G sub(NS)) did not decrease significantly during experiment time. Similar results were obtained when the variable (G sub(NS)-G sub(S))/G sub(NS) was applied. Temperature accounted for limited variation in germinability, whereas solar radiation accounted for most of the variation. Germinability of conidia in the laboratory was reduced up to approximately 100% by doses of UV-C of approximately 14.4 kJ/m super(2). Germinability of conidia in the field was reduced up to approximately 100% by doses of UV-B of approximately 39.9 kJ/m super(2). The information obtained from this study will contribute to the development of a forecast system that incorporates the probability of incoming aerial spores.

T1 - Relative solubility of cations in Class F fly ash.
AN - 71291874; 14572108
AB - Coal utilization byproducts (CUB), such as fly ash, contain cations that may be released during exposure to fluids such as acid rain or acid mine drainage. Researchers at the Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (DOE/NETL) have conducted a long-term column leaching study of 32 Class F fly ash samples from pulverized coal (PC) combustion, and quantified the release of 19 cations in four leachants with a pH between 1.2 and 12. The relative solubility (M(L/T)) of each cation was defined as the total mass leached (M(L)) relative to the concentration (M(T)) of that element in the fly ash sample. A frequency distribution of relative solubility values was computed with ranges defined as insoluble, slightly soluble, moderately soluble, and very soluble. On the basis of this sample set, Ba, Cd, Fe, Pb, Sb, and Se in PC fly ash are insoluble. The elements Al, Be, Ca, Co, Cr, Cu, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, and Zn are slightly to moderately acid soluble. Only Ca and Na are water soluble; As and Ca are soluble in the basic solution, The results of this study indicate that the extent to which cations in Class F PC fly ash can be leached by naturally occurring fluids is very limited.

T1 - Integrated collaborative technology development program for CO sub(2) sequestration in geologic formations - United States Department of Energy R&D
AN - 20516895; 6063419
AB - A major contributor to increased atmospheric CO sub(2) levels is fossil fuel combustion. Roughly one third of the carbon emissions in the United States comes from power plants. Since electric generation is expected to grow and fossil fuels will continue to be the dominant fuel source, there is growing recognition that the energy industry can be part of the solution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by capturing and permanently sequestering CO sub(2). Consequently, an important component of the United States Department of Energy's (DOE) research and development program is dedicated to reducing CO sub(2) emissions from power plants by developing technologies for capturing CO sub(2) and for subsequent utilization and/or sequestration. Injection of CO sub(2) into geologic formations is being practiced today by the petroleum industry for enhanced oil recovery, but it is not yet possible to predict with confidence storage volumes, formation integrity and permanence over long time periods. Many important issues dealing with geologic storage, monitoring and verification of fluids (including CO sub(2)) in underground oil and gas reservoirs, coal beds and saline formations must be addressed. Field demonstrations are needed to confirm practical considerations, such as economics, safety, stability, permanence and public acceptance. This paper presents an overview of DOE's research program in the area of CO sub(2) sequestration and storage in geologic formations and specifically addresses the status of new knowledge, improved tools and enhanced technology for cost optimization, monitoring, modeling and capacity estimation. This paper also highlights those fundamental and applied studies, including field tests, sponsored by DOE that are measuring the degree to which CO sub(2) can be injected and remain safely and permanently sequestered in geologic formations while concurrently assuring no adverse long term ecological impacts.

T1 - Removal of controls for decommissioning: A graded approach
AN - 20490466; 8016170
AB - Decommissioning of nuclear facilities poses some of the most imposing policy and technical challenges facing the nuclear industry and regulators today. In addition to concerns about the appropriate level of residual radioactivity that may be present at a site at the completion of decommissioning, concerns have surfaced about the appropriate level of radioactivity that may be present in building materials and on equipment that are released from a site during decommissioning (i.e. clearance), as well as the manner in which the appropriate level of residual radioactivity will be established, the appropriate modelling approach, and the way in which the site and regulatory authority will ensure that public health and safety are maintained after the material is released. To deal with the diversity of decommissioning projects, a flexible, graded approach (e.g. ICRP 82) is needed to maintain a balance in implementing decommissioning requirements that focuses on the scope and extent of the hazards associated with the facility type and its potential for harm. In addition, many facilities may not be able to decommission to levels that permit unrestricted use after decommissioning. For these sites, issues relate to establishing appropriate long-term controls and the manner in which the licensee can ensure that adequate resources are available to maintain the controls for the necessary time frame. Issues also routinely surface during the actual decommissioning with respect to characterization, confirmatory surveys and dose modelling. Finally, there are issues of how to ensure that future regulatory efforts or actions by legislators or the public do not require the regulatory authority to re-examine the basis for terminating the license. 'Finality' must be addressed and clearly understood by all stakeholders. All of these issues are expected to surface during the First Review Meeting of the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management.

T1 - Co-operation and consensus in the development of decommissioning approaches
AN - 20483114; 8016153
AB - Decommissioning is an issue facing most of the developed countries with ageing nuclear power plants. However, the concept of transforming a regulated nuclear activity or facility to one that is no longer active or operational is a goal not limited to nuclear power plants alone. In some cases, the restoration of legacy sites and sites contaminated by natural radioactivity from non-nuclear resource development also falls under this broader transformation goal. The international technical community recognizes this need to decommission nuclear facilities to result in better protection of workers, the public and the environment, and to do so in a more cost efficient manner. Whether the aim is termed 'decommissioning' or whether decommissioning is part of this broader goal of safety and environmental protection, the focus is the same: maintaining consistent levels of radiation safety and protecting the environment. The global community recognizes the need to address decommissioning within a waste management programme by including it under the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management (Waste Convention). The recommendations by international organizations (the IAEA, OECD Nuclear Energy Agency, International Commission on Radiological Protection, European Commission) include decommissioning and, in most cases, restoration of contaminated sites as part of a regulatory infrastructure for radiological protection and radioactive waste management. From these recommendations, individual countries can establish national regulations to protect individuals and the environment within the context of each nation's range of options, whether they are limitations on waste disposal strategies or resource (e.g. financial) limitations. Although an international goal may be uniformity and harmony in setting decommissioning requirements -- and the international community is making great progress on that front -- the higher objective is timely decommissioning. Flexibility within the national regulatory frameworks will help each nation reach that higher objective, leaving the environment cleaner for future generations than would otherwise be the case.

T1 - Magnitude of the decommissioning task in North America and Mexico, including the US Department of Energy
AN - 20481995; 8016147
AB - The magnitude of the task of decommissioning nuclear facilities in North America comprises: facilities associated with the commercial nuclear industry and those associated with US nuclear weapons production and research programmes, namely those facilities managed by the US Department of Energy (DOE). Within the commercial nuclear industry, there are currently over 170 nuclear reactors (in the USA, Canada and Mexico). The cost of decommissioning power reactors has recently been estimated at approximately US $325 million per reactor; applied across the area under consideration, this is equivalent to a decommissioning task in excess of $50 billion. Within the DOE's nuclear weapons complex, there are over 114 sites, encompassing over 2 million acres (approximately 810 000 hectares), that need to be cleaned up. In these sites, the scope of decommissioning encompasses over 5000 facilities, with over 100 million ft super(2) (approximately 9.3 million m super(2)) of building footprint. The life cycle estimate for the decontamination and decommissioning of these facilities is estimated at between $11 billion and $19 billion. The DOE has recently adopted a much more aggressive stance to accelerate the decontamination and decommissioning of its facilities, moving from an emphasis on risk management to one of risk reduction and final closure. It has been decided to make the reduction of the nuclear facility footprint a major objective, to be implemented with an appropriate sense of urgency, resulting in commitments to accelerate decontamination and decommissioning by as much as 10-13 years at the various sites.

T1 - Renal function in mice poisoned with oral uranium and treated with ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1-bisphosphonate (EHBP).
AN - 73576694; 12938724
AB - Exposure to uranium is a risk for the workers involved in uranium mining, purification, and manufacture, principally by its ingestion or inhalation. It is also a risk for the population at large in case of intake of contaminated water or food. Uranium induces nephropathy that is characteristic of heavy metals, which can lead to death. The toxic effects of uranium can be prevented by a biphosphonate, ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1-bisphosphonate (bisodic etidronate), administered orally or subcutaneously. Employing bisodic etidronate, our laboratory obtained satisfactory results in terms of survival in adult mice, adult rats, and suckling rats. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of bisodic etidronate for preventing renal dysfunction induced by a lethal dose of uranyl nitrate, employing serum levels of urea and creatinine as end-points. Two experiments were performed over different time periods, i.e., Experiment A: 48 h, Experiment B: 14 d. Each experiment was performed with 4 groups of 20 male Balb/c mice each, 25 g average body weight. Three of these groups received 350 mg kg(-1) of body weight of uranyl nitrate by gavage (forced oral administration). Two of the three exposed groups were treated with bisodic etidronate either by gavage in a dose of 500 mg kg(-1) body weight or with a subcutaneous injection of 50 mg kg(-1) body weight. The fourth group served as control. Survivors of the experimental groups were sacrificed at the end of the experiment by overdose of inhalation anesthetic (ether). The kidneys were routinely processed for histological analysis. Blood samples were taken by cardiac puncture to assess urea and creatinine serum levels. Urea and creatinine serum levels were markedly lower at 48 h in exposed animals treated with bisodic etidronate than in untreated exposed animals. On day 14 these values in exposed and treated animals did not differ significantly from control values. The renal function of animals treated with orally or subcutaneous bisodic etidronate that survived uranyl nitrate exposure was markedly improved compared to the controls of untreated exposed animals at 48 h. At 14 days, treatment with bisodic etidronate averted renal damage. At this time, the histologic study of kidneys showed images of tissue recovery. These results suggest that the use of EHBP may be of great value in reducing the renal damage.

T1 - Spectral Characterization of Catechol Estrogen Quinone (CEQ)-Derived DNA Adducts and Their Identification in Human Breast Tissue Extract
AN - 18876738; 5731498
AB - Estrogens, including the natural hormones estrone (E sub(1)) and estradiol (E sub(2)), are thought to be involved in tumor induction. Catechol estrogen quinones (CEQ) derived from 4-hydroxyestrone (4-OHE sub(1)) and 4-hydroxyestradiol (4-OHE sub(2)) react with DNA and form depurinating N7Gua and N3Ade adducts that might be responsible for tumor initiation (Cavalieri, E. L., et al. (2000) J. Natl. Cancer Inst. Monogr. 27, 75). Current detection limits for the CEQ-derived DNA adducts by high-performance liquid chromatography with multichannel electrochemical detection are in the picomole range. To improve the limit of detection (LOD) for CEQ-derived DNA adducts, spectrophotometric monitoring was investigated. Spectroscopic studies of 4-OHE sub(1)-1-N3Ade, 4-OHE sub(1)-1-N7Gua, 4-OHE sub(2)-1-N3Ade, and 4-OHE sub(2)-1-N7Gua adduct standards were performed at 77 and 300 K. Upon laser excitation at 257 nm, the 4-OHE sub(1)- and 4-OHE sub(2)-derived N7Gua and N3Ade adducts are strongly phosphorescent at T = 77 K. No phosphorescence was observed at 300 K. Both N3Ade and N7Gua adduct types have weak phosphorescence origin bands near 383 and 385 nm, respectively. The corresponding phosphorescence lifetimes are 1.11 plus or minus 0.05 and 0.37 plus or minus 0.05 s. The LOD, based on phosphorescence measurements, is in the low femtomole range. The concentration LOD is approximately 10 super(-9) M, i.e., similar to that recently obtained for CEQ-derived N-acetylcysteine conjugates. The LOD in capillary electrophoresis (CE) with field-amplified sample stacking and absorbance detection is about 3 x 10 super(-8) M. To verify whether CEQ-derived DNA adducts are formed in humans or not, tissue extracts from two breast cancer patients were analyzed by CE interfaced with room temperature absorption and low temperature (laser-excited) phosphorescence spectroscopies. For the first time, formation of CEQ-derived DNA adducts is shown in humans. For example, the level of 4-OHE sub(1)-1-N3Ade in the breast tissue extract from a patient with breast carcinoma (8.40 plus or minus 0.05 pmol/g of tissue) is larger by a factor of about 30 than that in the breast tissue sample from a woman without breast cancer (0.25 plus or minus 0.05 pmol/g of tissue). In contrast, similar amounts of 4-OHE sub(2)-1-N3Ade were observed in both types of tissue. Although more breast tissue samples from women with and without breast cancer need to be studied, these results suggest that the N3Ade adducts could serve as biomarkers to predict the risk of breast cancer.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: FORT CALHOUN STATION, UNIT 1, WASHINGTON COUNTY, NEBRASKA (TWELFTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 1 of 1]
T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: FORT CALHOUN STATION, UNIT 1, WASHINGTON COUNTY, NEBRASKA (TWELFTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36381535; 10375-030381_0001
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses Fort Calhous Nuclear Power Station, Unit, located in Washington County, Nebraska for an additional 20 years is proposed in this 12th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, Florida Power and Light Company, 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 the unit is addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is August 9, 2013. The power station is located on a 660-acre site, approximately 55 acres of which is occupied byplant facilities or maintained as part of plant operations. The unit reactor system consists of a pressurized-water reactor and its associated coolant system designed by Combustion Engineering. The steam and power conversion system, including its turbine generator, is designed to permit the generation of a net electrical output of 276 megawatts (MWe). The reactor is licensed to allow operation at the system's full-rate power level of 1,500 MW-thermal. Plant cooling is provided by a once-through cooling system that draws water from the Missouri River. Potable water supplies are drawn from the city of Blair municipal water system. Small amounts of groundwater are drawn from two wells, predominantly to adjust water levels and flush the sanitary-waste lagoons and the center-pivot irrigation system. The units employ 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 three 161-kilovolt transmission lines, though only one line is affected by the license; that line extends approximately seven miles in two segments. 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. 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: Operation of the units would continue to withdrawal process water from the Missouri River and deliver makeup water back to the river. Release of water to the river from the once-through system would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the nearshore area. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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).

T1 - Congress: Accept No Substitute for Sound Science
AN - 279742158
AB - While the need for unbiased technical advice has grown, the resources available to Congress are in increasing disarray. Last week, for example, Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) issued a broadside arguing that "the administration's political interference with science has led to misleading statements by the president, inaccurate responses to Congress" and other evils. The previous week, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) opened a hearing with the claim that "left-wing environmental communities insist sound science is outrageous."
Unfortunately, the Bush administration is also weakening traditional sources of scientific advice. Not long after President Bush took office, the administration quietly eliminated the office of the assistant to the president for science and technology and moved the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy out of the White House complex. This is a new low point for an office with a vexed history. Starting with Franklin Roosevelt, most presidents have found trusted individuals to give them independent technical advice. President Richard Nixon, furious with advice he didn't want, unceremoniously fired his science adviser, leading Congress in 1976 to create the Office of Science and Technology Policy by law.

T1 - Aqueous cadmium uptake by calcite; a stirred flow-through reactor study
AN - 51766297; 2005-005584
AB - Uptake of cadmium ions from solution by a natural Mg-containing calcite was investigated in stirred flow-through reactor experiments. Input NaCl solutions were pre-equilibrated with calcite (pH 8.0) or not (pH 6.0), prior to being spiked with CdCl (sub 2) . For water residence times in the reactor less than 0.5 h, irreversible uptake of Cd by diffusion into the bulk crystal had a minor effect on the measured cadmium breakthrough curves, hence allowing us to quantify "fast" Cd (super 2+) adsorption. At equal aqueous activities of Cd (super 2+) , adsorption was systematically lower for the pre-equilibrated input solutions. The effect of variable solution composition on Cd (super 2+) adsorption was reproduced by a Ca (super 2+) -Cd (super 2+) cation exchange model and by a surface complexation model for the calcite-aqueous solution interface. For the range of experimental conditions tested, the latter model predicted binding of aqueous Ca (super 2+) and Cd (super 2+) to the same population of carbonate surface sites. Under these circumstances, both adsorption models were equivalent. Desorption released 80 to 100% of sorbed cadmium, confirming that fast uptake of Cd (super 2+) was mainly due to binding at surface sites. Slow, irreversible cadmium uptake by the solid phase was measured in flow-through reactor experiments with water residence times exceeding 0.7 h. The process exhibited first-order kinetics with respect to the concentration of adsorbed Cd (super 2+) , with a linear rate constant at 25 degrees C of 0.03 h (super -1) . Assuming that diffusion into the calcite lattice was the mechanism of slow uptake, a Cd (super 2+) solid-state diffusion coefficient of 8.5X10 (super -21) cm (super 2) s (super -1) was calculated. Adsorbed Cd (super 2+) had a pronounced effect on the dissolution kinetics of calcite. At maximum Cd (super 2+) surface coverage ( approximately 10 (super -5) mol m (super -2) ), the calcite dissolution rate was 75% slower than measured under initially cadmium-free conditions. Upon desorption of cadmium, the dissolution rate increased again but remained below its initial value. Thus, the calcite surface structure and reactivity retained a memory of the adsorbed Cd (super 2+) cations after their removal.

T1 - Residual ethylene oxide in medical devices and device material
AN - 20562479; 8078352
AB - Ethylene oxide (EO) gas is commonly used to sterilize medical devices. The amount of residual EO remaining in a device depends partly on the type and size of polymeric material. A major concern is the amount of residue that may be available in the body. With the use of the method described by AAMI for headspace analysis of EO residues, different polymers and medical devices subjected to different numbers of sterilization cycles were examined. Next, the effect of various extraction conditions and extraction solutions on these polymers and medical devices was evaluated. The results showed different polymers desorb EO differently. One polyurethane (PU 75D) had much higher EO residue than a different polyurethane (PU 80A). Repeated extraction of the PU 75D was necessary to quantify total EO residue levels. Different extraction solutions influence the amount and reproducibility of EO detected, whereas multiple resterilizations showed no difference in amount of residual EO. Bioavailability of EO was estimated by extracting the devices and polymers in water. Comparison of total EO residues to EO that was bioavailable showed no difference for some polymers and devices, while others had an almost eightfold difference. Some standard biocompatibility tests were run on extracts and devices, but no significant effects were observed.

T1 - Occupational radiation protection in industrial and research facilities
AN - 19721981; 7520414
AB - This paper briefly reviews worldwide industrial/research occupational doses associated with irradiation, radiography, well logging, gauging, laboratory research and isotope production. According to the 2000 Report of the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation, 14% of the annual occupational collective dose (360 man times Sv for the period 1990-1994) derived from industrial uses, compared with 50% from the nuclear fuel cycle. Although worldwide occupational doses indicate general compliance with safety standards and a good safety record, serious overexposures occur frequently enough to cause concern. In the period 1989-1991, there were three fatal radiation accidents at irradiators. In addition, radiography overexposures continue to be frequently reported. Radiography experience in the United Staes of America included about 70 reported radiography overexposures during the period 1997 to mid-2002. Eight of these entailed acute overexposures resulting from stuck or detached radiation sources, or simple failure to retract a source, and failure to perform proper surveys. The challenges associated with industrial occupational protection include a lack of defence in depth (relative to fuel cycle operations), a large variety of work site conditions encountered and personnel limitations due, in many instances, to the small size of the organizations involved. The path forward to providing improved occupational radiation protection should include a strong emphasis on worker training, consistency of operations (seeking best practices), and co-operation and communication among regulatory authorities.

T1 - Pathogenic variation among isolates of Pyrenophora teres, the causal agent of barley net blotch
AN - 18892406; 5763263
AB - Isolates of Pyrenophora teres, the causal agent of net blotch of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has been collected from France and Syria. Their virulence spectra were evaluated using 11 barley genotypes as differential hosts. The genotypes exhibited a continuous range of response from highly susceptible to moderately resistant. A mean disease rating of 3.7 is considered as the separation point between avirulent and virulent reactions. The frequency of virulence was highest for isolates S5, R5 and S6-2 and lowest for R-ICA31 and R-HAS-6. A cluster analysis indicated that the isolates exhibited distinct differential virulence patterns and they were identified into five groups. The French isolates S5, R5 and S6-2 had a higher mean virulence and a low variance across all genotypes. None of the tested genotypes was highly resistant to all investigated isolates.

T1 - Protection against ionizing radiation by antioxidant nutrients and phytochemicals.
AN - 73413205; 12821279
AB - The potential of antioxidants to reduce the cellular damage induced by ionizing radiation has been studied in animal models for more than 50 years. The application of antioxidant radioprotectors to various human exposure situations has not been extensive although it is generally accepted that endogenous antioxidants, such as cellular non-protein thiols and antioxidant enzymes, provide some degree of protection. This review focuses on the radioprotective efficacy of naturally occurring antioxidants, specifically antioxidant nutrients and phytochemicals, and how they might influence various endpoints of radiation damage. Results from animal experiments indicate that antioxidant nutrients, such as vitamin E and selenium compounds, are protective against lethality and other radiation effects but to a lesser degree than most synthetic protectors. Some antioxidant nutrients and phytochemicals have the advantage of low toxicity although they are generally protective when administered at pharmacological doses. Naturally occurring antioxidants also may provide an extended window of protection against low-dose, low-dose-rate irradiation, including therapeutic potential when administered after irradiation. A number of phytochemicals, including caffeine, genistein, and melatonin, have multiple physiological effects, as well as antioxidant activity, which result in radioprotection in vivo. Many antioxidant nutrients and phytochemicals have antimutagenic properties, and their modulation of long-term radiation effects, such as cancer, needs further examination. In addition, further studies are required to determine the potential value of specific antioxidant nutrients and phytochemicals during radiotherapy for cancer.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: VIRGIL C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION, FAIRFIELD COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA. (FIFTEENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36438765; 10317
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Virgil C Summer Nuclear Station in Fairfield County, South Carolina is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 15th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, South Carolina Electric and Gas Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which August 6, 2022. The power station, which is located within in a 2,245-acre site in a largely rural area 15 miles west of Winnsboro and 26 miles northwest of Columbia, consists of one unit equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Monticello Reservoir, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. The unit is rated at 2,775 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 966 MW-electric. The reactor, which was placed in service in January 1983 and was upgraded in 1999, is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Ten transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Monticello Reservoir and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from 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. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

T1 - IDAHO SPENT FUEL FACILITY AT THE IDAHO NATIONAL ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY IN BUTTE COUNTY, IDAHO.
AN - 36423714; 10173
AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of the Idaho Spent Fuel Storage Facility (ISFSF) in Butte County, Idaho is proposed to repackage and store spent nuclear fuel (SNF)and associated radioactive material from a number of facilities stored at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). During the past 40 years, the Department of Energy (DOE) and its predecessor agencies have generated, transported, received, stored, and reprocessed SNF at DOE facilities nationwide. Part of the SNF originated from non-DOE domestically licensed facilities, including training, research, and test reactors at universities; commercial reactors; and government-owned installations, including US Navy reactors from which DOE has contractual obligations to accept SNF. Most of the SNF at DOE's INEEL, originally destined for reprocessing, is currently stored under conditions acceptable only for short-term storage. Current storage provisions at INEEL consist of aging above-ground facilities, including wet storage pools, and dry underground storage facilities. The facilities to be served by the ISFSF would include Peach Bottom, Unit 1, high-temperature, gas-cooled reactor; the Shipping port Atomics Power Station; and various training, research, and isotope reactors built by General Atomics. The ISFSF, which would be located at the INEEL, is part of an October 1995 settlement agreement between DOE, the US Navy, and the state of Idaho regarding waste removal and environmental cleanup at the INEEL. The proposed ISFSF would also be licensed as an independent spent fuel storage installation. THE ISFSF would be located on at eight-acre site adjacent to INNEL's Idaho Nuclear Technology and Energy Center. The preferred alternative would provide for dry storage of the SNF after processing. The proposed contractor, Foster Wheeler Environmental Corporation, has met the requirements of DOE's specific design criteria for the facility, including requirements for container dimensions, year-round operation, storage container capable of being transported via truck or rail, personnel and public exposure limits, and minimization of decommissioning activities. In addition to the proposed action, a No Action Alternative is considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reprocessing and long-term storage of the SNF would eliminate a significant health and safety hazards from the INEEL and the surrounding areas, including the Snake River Plain Aquifer, which lies below the laboratory site and is a major water source for the region. Construction of the ISFSF would employ 250 workers over a two-year period, while operation of the facility would employ nearly 60 persons for at least four years, with storage operations beyond that time employing fewer workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities associated with the ISFSF would affect the eight-acres site and 10 acres within an adjoining laydown area; the entire area to be affected is currently used as a laydown area and has been disturbed previously by other activities and land uses. Access and use of the facility site would be limited. Though workers would be exposed to radiation, doses would be well within acceptable limits. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.) and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 72).

Neither the applicant, Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which September 18, 2009. The power station, which is located on a 488-acre site four miles north of Ontario on the south shore of Lake Ontario, consists of one unit equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a once-through cooling system, and two identical closed heat-transfer loops, each of which includes a reactor coolant pump and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. The unit is rated at 1,520 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 490 MW-electric. The reactor, which was placed in service in 1970 and was upgraded in 1972, is housed within a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. Plant cooling is provided by water is obtained from and returned to Lake Ontario. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four 0.6-mile 115-kilovolt (kV) underground transmission lines deliver electricity generated by the plant to a substation on the south side of Lake Road which, in turn, sends the electricity to the regional grid via five 3.5-mile 115-kV overhead lines the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Lake Ontario at a rate of 354,600 gallons per minute (gpm) and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the lake from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the 175 acres of the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw 14,600 gpm from 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.

T1 - Technical considerations for using in situ gamma spectroscopy in conducting final status surveys.
AN - 73338013; 12792406
AB - Facilities undergoing decommissioning are required to conduct radiological surveys to initially characterize contaminants, guide remediation activities, and demonstrate that cleanup criteria have been met, based on screening or site-specific derived concentration guideline levels. This paper presents a number of technical considerations, not all inclusive, associated with the use of in situ gamma spectroscopy that should be addressed when such a method is proposed for conducting final status surveys. The technical issues identified here do not yet reflect the policy of the NRC on this subject.

T1 - The Energy Smart Guide to Campus Cost Savings.
AN - 62172794; ED480550
AB - Rebuild America is a program of the U.S. Department of Energy that focuses on energy-savings solutions as community solutions. It works with K-12 schools, colleges and universities, state and local governments, public and multifamily housing, and commercial buildings. This guide focuses on colleges and universities. Each chapter spells out options and provides guidance for implementing projects that can save substantial energy and money. Information is taken from successful projects implemented nationwide. Each section ends with case studies that provide examples of how the nation's colleges and universities are realizing energy savings. Four sections focus on: (1) "Project Financing" (e.g., financing options and common financial misconceptions); (2) "Clean Fuel Fleets" (e.g., biodiesal and ethanol); (3) "Combined Heat and Power" (e.g., system components and system integration and sizing options); and (4) "Emissions Markets" (e.g., air pollution and climate change programs and opportunities for colleges and universities to participate in air pollution markets).

T1 - Radiation-induced versus endogenous DNA damage: Commentary on Pollycove and Feinendegen [II]
AN - 18804180; 5679802
AB - The premises underlying the article by Pollycove and Feinendegen are unlikely to generate disagreement among most scientists. The authors do a good job of reviewing the scientific literature on the important topic of radiation-induced versus endogenous DNA damage, and they use the available data to calculate numerical estimates and comparisons of DNA damages induced by radiation versus metabolic processes. However, these numbers should in no way be confused with proof or disproof of the involvement of specific biological mechanisms. Many important questions for low-dose radiobiology remain unanswered, and there is no substitute for experimental demonstration.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: ST. LUCIE UNITS 1 AND 2, HUTCHINSON ISLAND, ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA. (ELEVENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 2 of 2]
T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: ST. LUCIE UNITS 1 AND 2, HUTCHINSON ISLAND, ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA. (ELEVENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36384884; 10119-030242_0002
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses St Lucie Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2, located in St. Lucie County, Florida for an additional 20 years is proposed in this 11th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, Florida Power and Light Company, 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 the units are addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the units in this final supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is March 1, 2016, for Unit 1 and April 6, 2023, for Unit 2. The power station is located on an 1,130-acre site on the widest section of Hutchinson Island in an area previously degraded by mosquito control projects. The plant has two General Electric pressurized light-water reactors, each with a design rating for a net power output of 1,678 megawatts of electric power. Plant cooling is provided by extraction of water from the Atlantic Ocean via three offshore intake structures, which pump the water into an intake canal. Heated water is sent back to the ocean through offshore diffusers. The units employ 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 three 230-kilovolt transmission lines, located within a single right-of-way extending 11 miles to the Midway substation POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant 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: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw millions of gallons of process water from the Atlantic Ocean via the intake structures and deliver makeup water back to the ocean. Release of water to the ocean from the once-through systems would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the nearshore area. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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).

T1 - CHEMISTRY AND METALLURGY RESEARCH BUILDING REPLACEMENT PROJECT AT LOS ALAMOS NATIONAL LABORATORY, LOS ALAMOS, NEW MEXICO.
AN - 36442078; 10095
AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research (CMR) Building at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New Mexico is proposed. The CMR Building, constructed in the early 1950s, houses most of LANL's analytical chemistry (AC) and materials characterization (MC) capabilities. Other capabilities at the CMR Building include actinide processing, waste characterization, and nondestructive analysis that support a variety of nuclear materials management programs. In 1992, the Department of Energy (DOE) initiated planing and implementation of CMR Building upgrades to address specific safety, reliability, consolidation, and security and safeguard issues. In 1997 and 1998, a series of operational, safety, and seismic issues surfaced regarding the long-term viability of the CMR Building. Based on these findings, the DOE determined that the extensive upgrades original planned would be much more expensive and time consuming and of only marginal effectiveness. As a result, DOE decided to perform only the upgrades necessary to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the CMR Building through 2010 and to seek an alternative path for long-term reliability. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would involve continued us of the existing CMR Building, as well as four construction options are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 1), the project would involve construction two or three buildings at the LANL within the 40-acre Technical Area 55 (TA-55) site, located 1.1 miles south of the Los Alamos town site. Analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities would be moved from the existing CMR Building into the new buildings using a phased approach and operations would resume at the new buildings in a staged manner, providing for a period of operational overlap between the CMR Building and the new Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Building. Replacement (CMRR). The existing CMR Building would be dispositioned; three disposition options are considered, including reuse of the building and decontamination, decommissioning, and partial or full demolition of the building. One of the new buildings within TA-55 would provide administrative offices and support activities and would include cafeteria space and lite laboratory space used for such activities as glovebox mockup, training, and general research and development. the lite laboratory space would contain only small quantities of nuclear materials. The CMRR would provide for analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities, AC and MC capabilities consolidated from the Plutonium Facility located within YA-55, special nuclear materials storage, large containment vessel handling capability, Mission contingency space, and nuclear materials operational capabilities and space for non-LANL users. Existing CMR capabilities and activities not proposed for inclusion within the CMRR facility would include the Wing 9 Hot Cell operations, medical isotope production, uranium production and surveillance activities, nonproliferation training, and other capabilities that are available elsewhere at DOE sites other than LANL. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the CMRR would provide for safe, up-to-date AC and MC research capabilities within one consolidate locations, along with space for related and unrelated research. Peak construction activities would employ 300 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would displace 26.75 acres of land and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, though the area is highly disturbed already. Construction requirements would consume well over 3.0 million gallons of water and approximately 315 megawatt-hours of electricity. Approximately 4,800 cubic meters of concrete and 407 metric tons of steel would be required. The project would generate approximately 535 metric tons of nonhazardous waste. Removal and transportation of hazardous materials from the CMR Building would slightly increase the hazard of the release of radioactive materials, but an accident causing a significant release would be extremely unlikely. LEGAL MANDATES: National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (49 U.S.C 303).

LEGAL MANDATES: National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (49 U.S.C 303).

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: H.B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT NO. 2, DARLINGTON AND CHESTERFIELD COUNTIES, SOUTH CAROLINA (THIRTEENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36437385; 10091
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Unit 2 of the H.B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, located on a site in Darlington and Chesterfield counties South Carolina for an additional 20 years is proposed in this 13th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, Carolina Power and Light Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. The remaining 23 issues that apply to the unit are addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is July 21, 2010. The power station is located on a 6,020-acre site, which includes the 2,250-acre Lake Robinson. The Darlington County Internal Combustion Turbine Electric Plant is also located on the site. The nuclear unit consists of a pressurized water reactor, with a three-loop Westinghouse steam supply system. The unit iw? rates at 2,30 megawatts (MW) thermal, with a corresponding nominal net electrical output of approximately 70 MW-electric. The reactor, which was placed in service in 1970, is housed within a dry, reinforced concrete, steel-lined containment structure. The unit reactor system consists of a pressurized-water reactor and its associated coolant system designed by Combustion Engineering. The steam and power conversion system, including its turbine generator, is designed to permit the generation of a net electrical output of 276 megawatts (MWe). The reactor is licensed to allow operation at the system's full-rate power level of 1,500 MW-thermal. Plant cooling is provided by the three-loop cooling system, Cooling water is obtained from and discharged to Lake Robinson. Two groundwater production wells provide makeup water for Unit 1 and sanitary water for both units 1 and 2; three additional wells are used to provide makeup water for Unit 1. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four 230-kilovolt transmission lines, extending a total of 46 miles deliver electricity generated by the plant to the regional grid. 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. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw millions of gallons of processed water from the Lake Robinson and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the lake from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the nearshore area. 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 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

T1 - Health effects and risk assessment of arsenic.
AN - 73268448; 12730460
AB - Humans can be exposed to arsenic (As) through the intake of air, food and water. Although food is usually the major source of As exposure for people, most adverse effects are seen after As exposure from drinking water. The two main reasons for this situation are that most food arsenicals are organic and have little or no toxicity, and in many cases, As exposures from drinking water sources are to the more toxic inorganic form and occur at relatively high doses, e.g., hundreds of micrograms per day. In various parts of the world, As in drinking water is associated with such effects as gastroenteritis, neurological manifestations, vascular changes, diabetes and cancers (bladder, lung, liver, kidney and prostate). After reviewing the As database, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency promulgated a maximum contaminant level for As in drinking water of 10 micro g/L.

T1 - Evidence for 830 years of seismic quiescence from palaeoseismology, archaeoseismology and historical seismicity along the Dead Sea Fault in Syria
AN - 51971274; 2003-046348
AB - The long historical record of earthquakes, the physical effects on ancient building structures and the palaeoseismology provide a unique opportunity for an interdisciplinary tectonic analysis along a major plate boundary and a realistic evaluation of the seismic hazard assessment in the Middle East. We demonstrate with micro-topographic surveys and trenching that the Dead Sea fault (DSF) offsets left-laterally by 13.6+ or -0.2 m a repeatedly fractured ancient Roman aqueduct (older than AD 70 and younger than AD 30). Carbon-14 dating of faulted young alluvial deposits documents the occurrence of three large earthquakes in the past 2000 years between AD 100 and 750, between AD 700 and 1030 and between AD 990 and 1210. Our study provides the timing of late Holocene earthquakes and constrains the 6.9+ or -0.1 mm/yr slip rate of the Dead Sea transform fault in northwestern Syria along the Missyaf segment. The antepenultimate and most recent faulting events may be correlated with the AD 115 and AD 1170 large earthquakes for which we estimate M (sub w) = 7.3-7.5. The approximately 830 yr of seismic quiescence along the Missyaf fault segment implies that a large earthquake is overdue and may result in a major catastrophe to the population centres of Syria and Lebanon.

T1 - Adsorption of CO sub(2), N sub(2), and O sub(2) on Natural Zeolites
AN - 17206891; 6890489
AB - Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and temperature swing adsorption are potential techniques for removing CO sub(2) from high-pressure fuel gas streams. Natural zeolites are suitable candidate sorbents for use in the PSA process. Studies of volumetric gas adsorption of CO sub(2), N sub(2), and O sub(2) on three natural zeolites, with different major cations, were conducted at 25 degree C up to a pressure of 300 psi (2 x 10 super(6) Pa). Preferential adsorption of CO sub(2) was observed with all three zeolites. The natural zeolite with the highest sodium content and highest surface area showed the highest CO sub(2) adsorption capacity. Competitive gas adsorption studies also showed that the zeolite with the highest sodium content gave the best separation of CO sub(2) from the gas mixtures. Contact time did not affect the extent of adsorption of the zeolites. Temperature-programmed desorption studies indicated that the majority of the physically adsorbed CO sub(2) was desorbed at room temperature, while some strongly bound CO sub(2) was desorbed at 115 degree C.

T1 - Rapid, low level determination of silver(I) in drinking water by colorimetric-solid-phase extraction
AN - 16156647; 5694013
AB - A rapid, highly sensitive two-step procedure for the trace analysis of silver(I) is described. The method is based on: (1) the solid-phase extraction (SPE) of silver(I) from a water sample onto a disk impregnated with a silver- selective colorimetric reagent, and (2) the determination of the amount of complexed analyte extracted by the disk by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). This method, called colorimetric-solid-phase extraction (C-SPE), was recently shown effective in determining low concentrations (0.1-5.0 mg/ml) of iodine and iodide in drinking water. This report extends C-SPE to the trace ( similar to 4 mu g/l) level monitoring of silver(I) which is a biocide used on the International Space Station (ISS). The determination relies on the manually driven passage of a water sample through a polystyrene-divinylbenzene disk that has been impregnated with the colorimetric reagent 5-(p- dimethylaminobenzylidene) rhodanine (DMABR) and with an additive such as a semi- volatile alcohol (1, 2-decanediol) or nonionic surfactant (Brij 30). The amount of concentrated silver(I) is then determined in a few seconds by using a hand- held diffuse reflectance spectrometer, with a total sample workup and readout time of similar to 60 s. Importantly, the additive induces the uptake of water by the disk, which creates a local environment conducive to silver(I) complexation at an extremely high concentration factor ( similar to 800). There is no detectable reaction between silver(I) and impregnated DMABR in the absence of the additive. This strategy represents an intriguing new dimension for C-SPE in which additives, directly loaded in the disk material, provide a means to manipulate the reactivity of the impregnated reagent.

AN - 73190010; 12690188
AB - The systems biology revolution is proceeding along multiple pathways as different science agencies and the private sector have adopted strategies suited to their particular needs and cultures. To meet this challenge, the U.S. Department of Energy has developed the Genomes to Life (GTL) program. A central focus of GTL is environmental microbial biology as a way to approach global environmental problems, and its key goal is to achieve, over the next 10 to 20 years, a basic understanding of thousands of microbes and microbial systems in their native environments. This focus demands that we address huge gaps in knowledge, technology, computing, data storage and manipulation, and systems-level integration.

T1 - The role of combined metal interactions in metal carcinogenesis: a review.
AN - 75757479; 14531475
AB - Exposures to complex mixtures of metals in the workplace or environment are more likely to occur than exposures to a single metal alone. The evidence shows that exposures to complex metal mixtures can enhance the risk of cancer in certain human populations. The findings of several studies have suggested, however, that certain metal-metal interactions can inhibit carcinogenic activity. The mechanisms of metal-metal interactions in human carcinogenesis are relatively unknown. Metals represent a highly diverse group of agents: each metal can act through different mechanisms and in one or more steps of the carcinogenic process. Some potential mechanisms may involve direct reactions of the metal with DNA or indirect mechanisms that include modification of DNA repair, DNA methylation status, and metabolic processes involved in DNA replication and expression. Lipid peroxidation and the generation of free radicals induced by certain metals can affect DNA integrity. This review will address the role of metals in carcinogenesis and how concomitant exposure to metal mixtures can influence cancer induction. The most current mechanistic data regarding metal interactions and its implications in human carcinogenesis will be discussed. Furthermore, research gaps will be identified to provide data that will improve risk assessments for complex metal mixtures encountered in the workplace and environment.

AB - Public health and food safety experts estimate that millions of episodes of illnesses annually can be traced to contaminated food and water. Food and water safety is extremely important to persons infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). A compromised immune system causes people with HIV or AIDS to be more susceptible to foodborne illness from eating foods that are unsafely handled and poorly prepared and from using water from unsafe sources. Food- and waterborne illnesses can cause diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting that can lead to weight loss. These illnesses can be minimized or prevented if proper precautions are taken.

T1 - Biodistribution of a carborane-containing porphyrin as a targeting agent for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy of oral cancer in the hamster cheek pouch.
AN - 73122640; 12648560
AB - Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a bimodal cancer treatment based on the selective accumulation of 10B in tumors and concurrent irradiation with thermalized neutrons. The short-range, high-LET radiation produced by the capture of neutrons by 10B could potentially control tumor while sparing normal tissue if the boron compound targets tumor selectively within the treatment volume. In previous studies, we proposed and validated the hamster cheek pouch model of oral cancer for BNCT studies, proved that absolute and relative uptake of the clinically employed boron compound boronophenylalanine (BPA) would be potentially therapeutic in this model and provided evidence of the efficacy of in vivo BPA-mediated BNCT to control hamster oral mucosa tumors with virtually no damage to normal tissue. We herein present the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of a lipophilic, carborane-containing tetraphenylporphyrin (CuTCPH) in the hamster oral cancer model. CuTCPH is a novel, non-toxic compound that may be advantageous in terms of selective and absolute delivery of boron to tumor tissues. For potentially effective BNCT, tumor boron concentrations from a new agent should be greater than 30 ppm and tumor/blood and tumor/normal tissue boron concentration ratios should be greater than 5/1 without causing significant toxicity. We administered CuTCPH intraperitoneally (i.p.) as a single dose of 32 microg/g body weight (b.w.) (10 microg B/g b.w.) or as four doses of 32 microg/g b.w. over 2 days. Blood (Bl) and tissues were sampled at 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h in the single-dose protocol and at 1-4 days after the last injection in the multidose protocol. The tissues sampled were tumor (T), precancerous tissue surrounding tumor, normal pouch (N), skin, tongue, cheek and palate mucosa, liver, spleen, parotid gland and brain. The maximum mean B ratios for the single-dose protocol were T/N: 9.2/1 (12h) and T/Bl: 18.1/1 (72 h). The B value peaked to 20.7+/-18.5 ppm in tumor at 24h. The multidose protocol maximum mean ratios were T/N: 11.9/1 (3 days) and T/Bl: 235/1 (4 days). Absolute boron concentration in tumor reached a maximum value of 116 ppm and a mean value of 71.5+/-48.3 ppm at 3 days. The fact that absolute and relative B values markedly exceeded the BNCT therapeutic threshold with no apparent toxicity may confer on this compound a therapeutic advantage. CuTCPH-mediated BNCT would be potentially useful for the treatment of oral cancer in an experimental model.

T1 - Hexapod origins; monophyletic or paraphyletic?
AN - 51984012; 2003-040595
AB - Recent morphological and molecular evidence has changed interpretations of arthropod phylogeny and evolution. Here we compare complete mitochondrial genomes to show that Collembola, a wingless group traditionally considered as basal to all insects, appears instead to constitute a separate evolutionary lineage that branched much earlier than the separation of many crustaceans and insects and independently adapted to life on land. Therefore, the taxon Hexapoda, as commonly defined to include all six-legged arthropods, is not monophyletic.

T1 - Electronic data publication in geochemistry
AN - 50100284; 2003-058912
AB - Many disciplines of geochemistry have no data reporting standards, and their use of metadata is inadequately developed. This presents problems to the quality of the published science, and it limits the utility of computers in data analysis and the exploitation of Information Technology (IT). We discuss problems of data and metadata publication, in particular for geochemistry, and offer solutions to these problems in the form of consistent data publication formats and a proposal for publication of metadata in geochemistry. Metadata are grouped according to types (location, sampling, characterization), and this grouping allows for the transfer of these formats to other Earth science disciplines. In a companion paper [Helly et al., 2003], we illustrate how these metadata groupings can be used in an IT context. Formats presented here are comprehensive and allow for modification and expansion. It is the hope of the authors that this paper initiates a constructive discussion of data formats and metadata in geochemistry. The most recent contributions to this discussion may be found at http:\\earthref.org\metadata\GERM\.

T1 - Spectroscopic Characterization of the 4-Hydroxy Catechol Estrogen Quinones-Derived GSH and N-Acetylated Cys Conjugates
AN - 18747210; 5625309
AB - Estrogens, including the natural hormones estrone (E sub(1)) and estradiol (E sub(2)), are thought to be involved in tumor induction. Specifically, catechol estrogen quinones (CEQs) derived from the catechol estrogens 4-hydroxyestrone (4-OHE sub(1)) and 4-hydroxyestradiol (4-OHE sub(2)) react with DNA and form DNA adducts (Cavalieri, E. L., et al. (1997) Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 94, 10037). CEQs are also conjugated with GSH, a reaction that prevents damage to DNA, providing biomarkers of exposure to CEQs. Current detection limits for these analytes by HPLC with multichannel electrochemical detection are in the picomole range (Devanesan, P., et al. (2001) Carcinogenesis 22, 489). To improve the detection limit of CEQ-derived conjugates, spectrophotometric monitoring was investigated. Fluorescence and/or phosphorescence spectra of the 4-OHE sub(1), 4-OHE sub(2), Cys, N-acetylcysteine (NAcCys), 4-OHE sub(1)-2-SG, and 4-OHE sub(2)-2-SG conjugates and their decomposition products 4-OHE sub(1)-2-NAcCys and 4-OHE sub(2)-2-NAcCys were obtained at 300 and 77 K. It is shown that (i) 4-OHE sub(1)- and 4-OHE sub(2)-derived SG and NAcCys conjugates are weakly fluorescent at 300 K (with the emission maximum at 332 nm) but strongly phosphorescent at 77 K; (ii) Cys and NAcCys exhibit fluorescence and phosphorescence only at 77 K; and (iii) 4-OHE sub(1) and 4-OHE sub(2) are weakly fluorescent at 300 and 77 K and not phosphorescent. The phosphorescence spectra of SG and NAcCys conjugates are characterized by a weak origin band at similar to 383 nm and two intense vibronic bands at 407 and 425 nm. After they are cooled from 300 to 77 K, the total luminescence intensity of SG and NAcCys conjugates increases by a factor of similar to 150 predominantly due to phosphorescence enhancement. Theoretical calculations revealed, in agreement with the experimental data, that the lowest singlet (S sub(1)) and triplet (T sub(1)) states of 4-OHE sub(2)-2-NAcCys are of n, pi * and pi , pi * character, respectively, leading to a large intersystem crossing yield and strong phosphorescence. The limit of detection (LOD) for CEQ-derived conjugates, based on phosphorescence measurements, is in the low femtomole range. The concentration LOD is approximately 10 super(-9) M. Therefore, we propose that capillary electrophoresis interfaced with low temperature phosphorescence detection can be used to test for human exposure to CEQs by analyzing urine.

T1 - CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A MIXED OXIDE FUEL FABRICATION FACILITY AT THE SAVANNAH RIVER SITE, SOUTH CAROLINA.
AN - 36436962; 9949
AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a licence for the construction and operation of a mixed oxide (MOX) fuel fabrication facility at the Savannah River Site (SRS) in South Carolina is proposed. The facility would convert depleted uranium and weapons-grade plutonium into MOX fuel. Use of the proposed facility to produce MOX fuel would be opart of the Department of Energy's (DOE) surplus plutinium disposition program. The MOX facility would convert 37.5 tons of surplus weapons-grade plutonium into MOX fuel. The facility would be situated on a 41-acre site in the F-Area of SRS. Feedstock (surplus plutonium dioxide and depleted uranium dioxide) would be transported to the SRS to make the MOX fuel. The surplus plutonium is currently stored at seven DOE facilities within the United States. Additionally, depleted uranium hexaflouride would be transported from a DOE site (assumed to be the gaseous diffusion uranium facility in Portsmouth, Ohio) to a commercial fabrication facility (assumed to be the General Electric Company facility in Wilmington, North Carolina) where it would be converted to depleted uranium dioxide and transported to SRS. Once manufactured, the MOX fuel would be transported to mission reactors, where it would be irradiated. It is assumed that one or more reactors would later be authroized by to use MOX fuel. Two other proposed facilities and operations are considered in this draft EIS: (1) the Pit Dissasssembly and Conversion Facility (PCDF) and the Waste Solidification Building (WSB), both of which would be located at the SRS. The PDFC would be required to convert 28.2 tons of surplus plutonium from a metal form to plutonium dioxide powder. The WSB would process liquid waste streams from the PDCF and MOX facility. Other waste from the MOX facility, not sent to the WSB, would be transferred to and managed by the SRS. National economic costs for the MOX, PDCF, and WSB facilities and operations are estimated at $3.85 billion. The improvement of US 34 from the intersection of Carman Road west to Monmouth, a distance of 24.85 miles, in Henderson and Warren counties, Illinois is proposed. The existing facility, which is a key regional corridor for the east-west movement of people and goods in and through west central Illinois, is affected by a high accident rate, including four fatal accidents between January 1995 and December 1997. In addition to the preferred alternative, the draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative, a mass transit alternative, transportation system management, an upgrade of the existing facility, and a number of alignment alternatives for relocation of the facility. The preferred alternative would provide a high-type transportation facility for local and regional traffic in the two counties that would include a continuous four-lane link between the existing freeway at Gulfport in the vicinity of Carman Road to a point east of Monmouth. The preferred alternative would involve construction of a partially limited access four-lane facility that would include a bypass of the community of Biggsville. This final EIS, which is offered in an abbreviated form, provides errata to the draft EIS, an outline of the preferred alternative, public comments on the draft EIS, and four appendices. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The MOX program would ensure that plutonium produced for nuclear weapons and declared excess to national security was converted into poliferation-resistant forms. As a result, the nation would be able to meet it's international commitments and prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass distruction, while contributing to the energy needs of the country. During operations, the MOX, DCF, and WSB would generatwe 480 direct and 780 indirect jobs, producing an income of $61 million per year. The new facility would improve traffic safety, system continuity, and system capacity in the area. The project would provide the final section of multi-lane highway upgrades between Galesburg, Illinois and Burlington, Iowa. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though the program would result in increased releases of radiation to the local area, these releases would be negligible. However, in the unlikely even of an accidental release of radioactive material, due to serious breakdowns of the MOX system, would result in large releases of radionuclides into the local area. Similarly, routine transportation of nuclear wastes to the MOX and related facilities would result in negligible releases of radionuclides, but accidental releases could have serious consequences. Additional rights-of-way requirements totaling 687 acres would result in the displacement of one business and 10 residences, 677 acres of farmland, 16.8 acres of 100-year floodplain land, 20.1 acres of woodland, and 0.42 acres of wetlands. The highway would sever 28 farm tracts and affect 70 farms and 95 farm owners. Approximately 471 acres of prime farmland and 58 acres of farmland of statewide importance would be taken. Two parcels would be landlocked. The highway would traverse 13 surface water flows, three more than the existing facility. Traffic-generated noise would violate federal standards in the vicinity of 22 residential receptors, though this figure would be four less than that under the No Action Alternative. Construction workers would encounter two hazardous waste sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Energy Reorganization Act of 1974.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though the program would result in increased releases of radiation to the local area, these releases would be negligible. However, in the unlikely even of an accidental release of radioactive material, due to serious breakdowns of the MOX system, would result in large releases of radionuclides into the local area. Similarly, routine transportation of nuclear wastes to the MOX and related facilities would result in negligible releases of radionuclides, but accidental releases could have serious consequences. Additional rights-of-way requirements totaling 687 acres would result in the displacement of one business and 10 residences, 677 acres of farmland, 16.8 acres of 100-year floodplain land, 20.1 acres of woodland, and 0.42 acres of wetlands. The highway would sever 28 farm tracts and affect 70 farms and 95 farm owners. Approximately 471 acres of prime farmland and 58 acres of farmland of statewide importance would be taken. Two parcels would be landlocked. The highway would traverse 13 surface water flows, three more than the existing facility. Traffic-generated noise would violate federal standards in the vicinity of 22 residential receptors, though this figure would be four less than that under the No Action Alternative. Construction workers would encounter two hazardous waste sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Energy Reorganization Act of 1974.

T1 - CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A MIXED OXIDE FUEL FABRICATION FACILITY AT THE SAVANNAH RIVER SITE, SOUTH CAROLINA. [Part 2 of 2]
T2 - CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A MIXED OXIDE FUEL FABRICATION FACILITY AT THE SAVANNAH RIVER SITE, SOUTH CAROLINA.
AN - 36372284; 9949-030070_0002
AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a licence for the construction and operation of a mixed oxide (MOX) fuel fabrication facility at the Savannah River Site (SRS) in South Carolina is proposed. The facility would convert depleted uranium and weapons-grade plutonium into MOX fuel. Use of the proposed facility to produce MOX fuel would be opart of the Department of Energy's (DOE) surplus plutinium disposition program. The MOX facility would convert 37.5 tons of surplus weapons-grade plutonium into MOX fuel. The facility would be situated on a 41-acre site in the F-Area of SRS. Feedstock (surplus plutonium dioxide and depleted uranium dioxide) would be transported to the SRS to make the MOX fuel. The surplus plutonium is currently stored at seven DOE facilities within the United States. Additionally, depleted uranium hexaflouride would be transported from a DOE site (assumed to be the gaseous diffusion uranium facility in Portsmouth, Ohio) to a commercial fabrication facility (assumed to be the General Electric Company facility in Wilmington, North Carolina) where it would be converted to depleted uranium dioxide and transported to SRS. Once manufactured, the MOX fuel would be transported to mission reactors, where it would be irradiated. It is assumed that one or more reactors would later be authroized by to use MOX fuel. Two other proposed facilities and operations are considered in this draft EIS: (1) the Pit Dissasssembly and Conversion Facility (PCDF) and the Waste Solidification Building (WSB), both of which would be located at the SRS. The PDFC would be required to convert 28.2 tons of surplus plutonium from a metal form to plutonium dioxide powder. The WSB would process liquid waste streams from the PDCF and MOX facility. Other waste from the MOX facility, not sent to the WSB, would be transferred to and managed by the SRS. National economic costs for the MOX, PDCF, and WSB facilities and operations are estimated at $3.85 billion. The improvement of US 34 from the intersection of Carman Road west to Monmouth, a distance of 24.85 miles, in Henderson and Warren counties, Illinois is proposed. The existing facility, which is a key regional corridor for the east-west movement of people and goods in and through west central Illinois, is affected by a high accident rate, including four fatal accidents between January 1995 and December 1997. In addition to the preferred alternative, the draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative, a mass transit alternative, transportation system management, an upgrade of the existing facility, and a number of alignment alternatives for relocation of the facility. The preferred alternative would provide a high-type transportation facility for local and regional traffic in the two counties that would include a continuous four-lane link between the existing freeway at Gulfport in the vicinity of Carman Road to a point east of Monmouth. The preferred alternative would involve construction of a partially limited access four-lane facility that would include a bypass of the community of Biggsville. This final EIS, which is offered in an abbreviated form, provides errata to the draft EIS, an outline of the preferred alternative, public comments on the draft EIS, and four appendices. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The MOX program would ensure that plutonium produced for nuclear weapons and declared excess to national security was converted into poliferation-resistant forms. As a result, the nation would be able to meet it's international commitments and prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass distruction, while contributing to the energy needs of the country. During operations, the MOX, DCF, and WSB would generatwe 480 direct and 780 indirect jobs, producing an income of $61 million per year. The new facility would improve traffic safety, system continuity, and system capacity in the area. The project would provide the final section of multi-lane highway upgrades between Galesburg, Illinois and Burlington, Iowa. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though the program would result in increased releases of radiation to the local area, these releases would be negligible. However, in the unlikely even of an accidental release of radioactive material, due to serious breakdowns of the MOX system, would result in large releases of radionuclides into the local area. Similarly, routine transportation of nuclear wastes to the MOX and related facilities would result in negligible releases of radionuclides, but accidental releases could have serious consequences. Additional rights-of-way requirements totaling 687 acres would result in the displacement of one business and 10 residences, 677 acres of farmland, 16.8 acres of 100-year floodplain land, 20.1 acres of woodland, and 0.42 acres of wetlands. The highway would sever 28 farm tracts and affect 70 farms and 95 farm owners. Approximately 471 acres of prime farmland and 58 acres of farmland of statewide importance would be taken. Two parcels would be landlocked. The highway would traverse 13 surface water flows, three more than the existing facility. Traffic-generated noise would violate federal standards in the vicinity of 22 residential receptors, though this figure would be four less than that under the No Action Alternative. Construction workers would encounter two hazardous waste sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Energy Reorganization Act of 1974.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3, LANCASTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA (TENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36442838; 9914
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, for an additional 20 years is proposed in this tenth supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (formerly Philadelphia Electric Company), 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 the units is addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the units in this final supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is August 8, 2013, for Unit 2 and July 2, 2014, for Unit 3. The power station is located on an 620-acre site in southern Pennsylvania on the banks of the Susquehanna River, approximately 19 miles south of Lancaster. The site includes an exclusion area with a radius of 0.51 mile around the plant. The plant has two General Electric light-water reactors, each with a design rating for a new power output of 1,093 megawatts electric. Plant cooling is provided by a once-through heat dissipation system that dissipates heat to the environment. Units 2 and 3 produce electricity to supply the needs of approximately 35 percent of Exelon's 1.5 million business and residential customers in its mid-Atlantic service areas. The . The units employ 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 one 500-kilovolt transmission line extending 34 miles from the Peachbottom south substation eastward through Maryland and Delaware to the Keeney substation in northwestern Delaware. 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. 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: Operation of the units would continue to withdrawal 1.5 million gallons of process water from the Susquehanna River via the Conowingo Pond and deliver makeup water to the pond. Release of water to the lake from the once-through systems would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the waterbody. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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).

For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: FORT CALHOUN STATION, UNIT 1, WASHINGTON COUNTY, NEBRASKA (TWELFTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 16360874; 9894
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses Fort Calhous Nuclear Power Station, Unit, located in Washington County, Nebraska for an additional 20 years is proposed in this 12th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, Florida Power and Light Company, 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 the unit is addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is August 9, 2013. The power station is located on a 660-acre site, approximately 55 acres of which is occupied byplant facilities or maintained as part of plant operations. The unit reactor system consists of a pressurized-water reactor and its associated coolant system designed by Combustion Engineering. The steam and power conversion system, including its turbine generator, is designed to permit the generation of a net electrical output of 276 megawatts (MWe). The reactor is licensed to allow operation at the system's full-rate power level of 1,500 MW-thermal. Plant cooling is provided by a once-through cooling system that draws water from the Missouri River. Potable water supplies are drawn from the city of Blair municipal water system. Small amounts of groundwater are drawn from two wells, predominantly to adjust water levels and flush the sanitary-waste lagoons and the center-pivot irrigation system. The units employ 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 three 161-kilovolt transmission lines, though only one line is affected by the license; that line extends approximately seven miles in two segments. 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. 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: Operation of the units would continue to withdrawal million gallons of process water from the Missouri River and deliver makeup water back to the river. Release of water to the river from the once-through system would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the nearshore area. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

T1 - Detectability and reliability analysis of the local seismic network in Pakistan
AN - 742924056; 2010-062788
AB - The detectability and reliability of the local seismic network in Pakistan were analyzed using the Bungum and Husebye technique. Events were relocated using standard computer codes for hypocentral locations. Detectability levels were estimated from twenty-five years of recorded data in terms of 50%, 90% and 100% cumulative detectability thresholds, which were derived from the frequency-magnitude distribution. From this analysis, the 100% level of detectability of the network is M (sub L) =1.7 for events which occur within the network. The accuracy for hypocentral solutions of the network was investigated by considering the fixed real hypocenters within the network. Epicentral errors were found to be less than 4 km when the events occur within the network. Finally, the problems faced during continuous operation of the local network, which affects detectability, are discussed.

T1 - Enhancement of antiradiation potential of some aminothiols by beta-carotene.
AN - 73265617; 12743471
AB - In the present study, protection of mice, BALB/c inbred as measured by survival at 30 days against whole-body gamma exposure at two dose levels, namely, 7.60 and 10.12 Gy by prior irradiation treatment with combination of beta-carotene, N-(2-mercapto-propionyl)-glycine (MPG) and S-(2-aminoethyl) isothiouroniumbromide hydrobromide (AET), is reported. It was found that administration of beta-carotene (1 mg per 20 g body mass) and 24 h before whole-body irradiation (7.60 Gy) had significantly improved the post-irradiation survival. It was also found that administration of a combination of AET (260 mg per kg body mass) and MPG (60 mg per kg body mass) 20 min before exposure to 7.60 Gy gamma irradiation to mice which have been treated with beta-carotene (1 mg per 20 g body mass) 24 h before exposure had resulted in 80% survival in comparison to 10% survival recorded for control animals. On the other hand, when the animals were exposed to a higher dose (10.12 Gy) under similar experimental conditions as above, a significant improvement in survival was observed during the first 10 days following the exposure but only a slight effect afterward. On the other hand, the response of male and female mice 10 days after exposure to the above radiation dose indicated that the females were more radioresistant than the males.

T1 - Radionuclides and trace metals in eastern Mediterranean Sea algae.
AN - 73139683; 12660047
AB - Three types of sea alga distributed along the Syrian coast have been collected and analyzed for radioactivity and trace elements. Results have shown that (137)Cs concentrations in all the analyzed sample were relatively low (less than 1.2 Bq kg(-1) dry weight) while the levels of naturally occurring radionuclides, such as (210)Po and (210)Pb, were found to be high in most samples; the highest observed value (27.43 Bq kg(-1) dry weight) for (210)Po being in the red Jania longifurca alga. In addition, most brown alga species were also found to accumulate (210)Po, which indicates their selectivity to this isotope. On the other hand, brown alga (Cystoseira and Sargassum Vulgare) have shown a clear selectivity for some trace metals such as Cr, As, Cu and Co, this selectivity may encourage their use as biomonitor for pollution by trace metals. Moreover, the red alga species were found to contain the highest levels of Mg while the brown alga species were found to concentrate Fe, Mn, Na and K and nonmetals such as Cl, I and Br.

T1 - Analysis of hydrogeologic conceptual model and parameter uncertainty
AN - 51897339; 2004-011146
AB - A systematic methodology for assessing hydrogeologic conceptual model, parameter, and scenario uncertainties is being developed to support technical reviews of environmental assessments related to decommissioning of nuclear facilities. The first major task being undertaken is to produce a coupled parameter and conceptual model uncertainty assessment methodology. This task is based on previous studies that have primarily dealt individually with these two types of uncertainties. Conceptual model uncertainty analysis is based on the existence of alternative conceptual models that are generated using a set of clearly stated guidelines targeted at the needs of NRC staff. Parameter uncertainty analysis makes use of generic site characterization data as well as site-specific characterization and monitoring data to evaluate parameter uncertainty in each of the alternative conceptual models. Propagation of parameter uncertainty will be carried out through implementation of a general stochastic model of groundwater flow and transport in the saturated and unsaturated zones. Evaluation of prediction uncertainty will make use of Bayesian model averaging and visualization of model results. The goal of this study is to develop a practical tool to quantify uncertainties in the conceptual model and parameters identified in performance assessments.

T1 - Next generation integrated natural fracture reservoir prediction and modeling tools
AN - 51697024; 2005-048927
AB - Advanced Resources International and the Department of Energy (DE-AC26-99FT40688) are developing an integrated suite of tools and techniques to serve as the next generation technology for the projection and modeling of low permeability fractured reservoirs. The objectives of this project are to lower exploration risk and improve recoveries from naturally fractured reservoirs. The suite incorporates geologic and reservoir engineering tools designed around principals of geomechanics, discrete natural fracture generation, and numerical simulation into a Windows (super TM) based program. The suite facilitates integration of the geologic setting, seismic fault data, discrete natural fracture simulation and production data into an integrated reservoir model. The system uses a multi-phase approach to construct a numerically simulated reservoir model. The first phase uses the geologic and seismic information to develop a geomechanical model of the exploration area predicting stress distribution in the subsurface. The second phase combines the predicted stress field results with statistics derived from outcrop studies, borehole imagery, analogs and failure criteria to produce a stochastic, discrete natural fracture model of the reservoir. The third phase integrates the statistical fracture description with the predicted stress conditions and applies a transform to produce input parameters for a dual permeability numerical simulation model. The process yields a reservoir model which provides data for optimal well locations, production forecasting and economic projection. Field studies in Colorado and Wyoming performed as part of the development phase of this program are encouraging. Refinement is an ongoing process and the system will be ready for field demonstration starting in 2003.

T1 - The U. S. Department of Energy carbon sequestration research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) program
AN - 51696844; 2005-048907
AB - Carbon sequestration is receiving significant interest within the context of overall U.S. National Strategies for addressing concerns about the levels of accumulation of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the global atmosphere. It is being recognized as the potential, "third-option" for GHG Management, along with increased efficiency of energy supply and use, plus the increased use of renewable energy sources. Together, these three options provide the ability to sustain economic growth through available and affordable energy, while meeting environmental goals. The U.S. Department of Energy Carbon Sequestration Research Development and Demonstration Program portfolio covers the entire carbon sequestration "life cycle" of capture, separation, transportation, and storage or reuse. It also covers research for two other energy-related greenhouse gases of concern, methane (CH4) and nitrous oxides (N (sub 2) O). This paper covers the following topics: - CO (sub 2) sequestration in geological formations including oil and gas reservoirs, unmineable coal seams, and deep saline reservoirs. - Cost-effective CO (sub 2) capture and separation processes. - Cost Effective technologies for verification of quantities stored. - New Sequestration Systems based on advanced chemical, biological, and decarbonization concepts. The current status and future plans of this RD&D Program, with particular emphasis on the geologic storage options are described.

T1 - Laboratory studies on the carbonation potential of basalt; applications to geological sequestration of CO (sub 2) in the Columbia River Basalt Group
AN - 51695296; 2005-053042
AB - The Albany Research Center (ARC, Albany, Oregon) conducted laboratory autoclave experiments on samples of the Columbia River Basalt Group (CRBG) as part of its studies of CO (sub 2) sequestration by mineral carbonation. ARC has focused on development of an ex-situ process for carbonation of ultramafic rocks (those with high concentrations of Ca, Fe+2, and/or Mg) with CO (sub 2) , but because of the tremendously large volumes of CO (sub 2) emitted from fossil-fuel power plants, an in-situ process may be preferable. Sandstone-hosted saline aquifers are candidates for geological sequestration of CO (sub 2) , but these formations have little mineral-carbonation potential due to unfavorable mineralogy. Typical ultramafic sequences do not host saline aquifers due to low porosity and permeability. The CRBG may represent a unique opportunity for geological sequestration because its multi-flow structure has great thickness, vast areal extent, mafic mineralogy, and zones of high porosity and permeability within parts of individual flows. Basalt has favorable mineralogy for mineral carbonation, with up to 25% combined molar concentration of Ca, Fe+2, and Mg cations. It ranks slightly behind olivine and serpentine in carbonation potential of large-volume silicate rocks. The structure and mineralogy of the CRBG provide potential for both hydrodynamic and mineral trapping of injected CO (sub 2) , and it represents a potential reservoir for billions of tons of CO (sub 2) .

T1 - Identifying Trenton/Black River targets in the northern Appalachian Basin (NYS); demonstration of integrated exploration tools
AN - 51691545; 2005-052795
AB - The Trenton/Black River is the hottest play in the northern Appalachian Basin in the past twenty years. Porosity in the play depends on reactivated faults and associated fractures that controlled dissolution and later dolomitization. On 2-D seismic narrow grabens with little structural relief are used to identify prospective Trenton/Black River targets. However, 2-D seismic does not facilitate off-line extrapolation of the fault trends for exploration purposes. Faults can be extended away from the seismic lines by tracing lineaments that are coincident with the faults observed on seismic. However, Landsat lineaments (Earthsat, 1997) with multiple trends intersect the seismic lines at several fault locations. In order to determine which (if any) lineaments correspond to the faults observed on seismic, we groundtruthed topographic and Landsat (EarthSat, 1997) lineaments. Groundtruthing elements included fracture patterns in outcrops, soil gas anomalies, and aeromagnetic data. We measured 8 characteristics of over 6000 fractures in Upper Devonian units along Seneca and Cayuga lakes. We found that differentiation is possible between fracture intensification domains (FIDs) related to Trenton/Black River structures and those FIDs related to shallower Alleghanian thrusts: the former predate Alleghanian (?) cross-strike fractures, whereas the latter postdate cross-strike fractures. Aeromagnetic gradients are generally coincident with Trenton/Black River FIDs. Soil gas measured at 10 m spacings confirms the FID origin (and trend) of lineaments in regions of no outcrop. Integration of these methods allows discrimination of Trenton/Black River-related lineaments, and thus promotes extrapolation of Trenton/Black River structures away from seismic lines along selected lineaments.

T1 - New geological investigations regarding MCT along southwestern part of Malakand granite gneiss, Malakand Agency, N.W. Pakistan
AN - 51537086; 2006-077279
AB - The western part of previously called Malakand granite gneiss and its contact with metasediments was studied at several localities. The objectives were to study the relationship of granite and metasediments and find out the evidences of MCT at the contact, if any does exist. Along contact zone at Baru locality, the granite is fine-to medium-grained, weakly foliated and shows micro inter-fingering inside metasediments. Backing and chilling effects are clearly visible at contact. Also a band of garnet mica-schist (2-5 m thick) has been developed in metasediments all along the contact zone that looks to be piezothermal in characters and probably have resulted from the granite intrusion. This band disappears away from the contact. Similar observations were made at the northern contact of granite and metasediments at Totai locality. This study indicates that the contact between granite (southwestern part of Malakand granite) and metasediments is intrusive in nature and no indications of MCT exist as was previously reported by Chaudhry et al., (1991). A traverse, across strike from Baru area at the southern contact of granite up to Hazarnao top covering the area SW of Mekhband, was undertaken to study the nature of so called granite gneiss in its interior parts. During this traverse it was observed that this part of previously called granite gneiss is not gneissic in nature but comprises fine-to medium-grained weakly foliated granite that contains patches of granite gneiss. This part of granite shows close resemblance to the granite occurring at Baru locality. The granite NE of Mekhband locality, not included in this study, may be comprise granite gneiss but the granite SW of Mekhband is fine- medium in texture and weakly foliated. We consider this part of granite as a phase that may be older than Malakand proper granite and younger than the granite gneisses lying NE of Mekhband.

T1 - Seismic risk analysis of coastal area of Pakistan
AN - 51432312; 2007-057845
AB - Estimation of seismic hazard for the fast developing coastal area of Pakistan is carried out using deterministic and probabilistic approaches. On the basis of seismotectonics and geology, eleven faults are recognized in five seismic provinces as potential hazard sources. Maximum magnitude potential for each of these sources is calculated. Peak ground acceleration (PGA) values at the seven coastal cities due to the maximum credible earthquake on the relevant source are also obtained. Cities of Gwadar and Ormara with acceleration values of 0.21g and 0.25g respectively fall in the high seismic risk area. Cities of Turbat and Karachi lie in low seismic risk area with acceleration values of less than 0.1 g. The Probabilistic PGA maps with contour interval of 0.05g for 50 and 100 years return period with 90% probability of non-exceedance are also compiled.

T1 - Revisit ocean thermal energy conversion system
AN - 20604012; 5930826
AB - The earth, covered more than 70.8% by the ocean, receives most of its energy from the sun. Solar energy is transmitted through the atmosphere and efficiently collected and stored in the surface layer of the ocean, largely in the tropical zone. Some of the energy is re-emitted to the atmosphere to drive the hydrologic cycle and wind. The wind field returns some of the energy to the ocean in the form of waves and currents. The majority of the absorbed solar energy is stored in vertical thermal gradients near the surface layer of the ocean, most of which is in the tropical region. This thermal energy replenished each day by the sun in the tropical ocean represents a tremendous pollution-free energy resource for human civilization. Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) technology refers to a mechanical system that utilizes the natural temperature gradient that exists in the tropical ocean between the warm surface water and the deep cold water, to generate electricity and produce other economically valuable by-products. The science and engineering behind OTEC have been studied in the US since the mid-seventies, supported early by the U.S. Government and later by State and private industries. There are two general types of OTEC designs: closed-cycle plants utilize the evaporation of a working fluid, such as ammonia or propylene, to drive the turbine-generator, and open-cycle plants use steam from evaporated sea water to run the turbine. Another commonly known design, hybrid plants, is a combination of the two. OTEC requires relatively low operation and maintenance costs and no fossil fuel consumption. OTEC system possesses a formidable potential capacity for renewable energy and offers a significant elimination of greenhouse gases in producing power. In addition to electricity and drinking water, an OTEC system can produce many valuable by-products and side-utilizations, such as: hydrogen, air-conditioning, ice, aquaculture, and agriculture, etc. The potential of these by-products, especially drinking water, aquaculture and mariculture, can easily translate into billions of dollars in business opportunities. The current status of the OTEC system definitely deserves to be carefully revisited. This paper will examine recent major advancements in technology, evaluate costs and effectiveness, and assess the overall market environment of the OTEC system and describe its great renewable energy potential and overall benefits to the nations of the world.

T1 - Food Irradiation - After 35 Years, Have We Made Progress: A Government Perspective
AN - 20235034; 8804675
AB - The use of irradiation to improve the safety, protect the nutritional benefits, and preserve the quality of fresh and processed foods is a well established and proven technology. Over the past 35 years, the United States Government has invested in the science to confirm safety and in the technology to show application. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food and Drug Administration have approved sources of ionizing radiation for the treatment of foods, and their application to most meats, fruits, vegetables, and spices. Despite the value of this technology to the food industry and to the health and welfare of the public, only minimal application of this technology occurs. This underscores the importance of increasing the public"s understanding of radiation risks relative to other hazards. Accordingly, in 1995, the Committee on Interagency Radiation Research and Policy Coordination of the Executive Office of the President made recommendations for the creation of a centralized National Radiation Information Center that would work closely with Federal departments and agencies in responding to public queries about radiation issues and Federal programs. This article updates a commentary published in 1996 (Young 1996). In the past six years, some progress has been made, including the establishment of a government operated Food Irradiation Information Center, and the completion of final rule making by USDA, thus permitting the safe treatment of meats and poultry. Despite these actions, little progress has been made on the public acceptance of this technology. The need for an informed public and for a better understanding of risks, i.e., risk communication, is noted.

T1 - The effect of gamma irradiation on the microbial load, mineral concentration and sensory characteristics of liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L)
AN - 19637517; 8797549
AB - Ground liquorice roots were exposed to various doses (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20kGy) of gamma radiation from a 60Co source. Irradiated and non-irradiated samples were stored at room temperature. Microbial population, viscosity, concentrations of some minerals and the sensory properties of the extracts were evaluated after 0 and 12 months of storage. Tests carried out immediately after irradiation showed that the microbial count had been reduced and that the dose required to reduce the count by 1 log cycle (D10) was about 2kGy. No effect was observed on the total dissolved solids in extracts of liquorice roots. Glycyrrhizinic acid concentration in the extracts and the viscosities of suspensions produced from irradiated roots were lower than those from non-irradiated ones. Sensory evaluation indicated that there were no significant differences (P<0.05) in colour, taste or flavour between extracts produced from irradiated and non-irradiated roots. However, after 12 months of storage, some mineral ion (Na+, Ca2+ and K+) concentrations in extracts produced from irradiated roots were lower than in those from non-irradiated ones; no significant differences (P<0.05) in viscosity were found between suspensions of irradiated and non-irradiated roots.

T1 - Finite Element Analysis of Hepatic Radiofrequency Ablation Probes using Temperature-Dependent Electrical Conductivity
AN - 19475384; 7169891
AB - Background Few finite element models (FEM) have been developed to describe the electric field, specific absorption rate (SAR), and the temperature distribution surrounding hepatic radiofrequency ablation probes. To date, a coupled finite element model that accounts for the temperature-dependent electrical conductivity changes has not been developed for ablation type devices. While it is widely acknowledged that accounting for temperature dependent phenomena may affect the outcome of these models, the effect has not been assessed. Methods The results of four finite element models are compared: constant electrical conductivity without tissue perfusion, temperature-dependent conductivity without tissue perfusion, constant electrical conductivity with tissue perfusion, and temperature-dependent conductivity with tissue perfusion. Results The data demonstrate that significant errors are generated when constant electrical conductivity is assumed in coupled electrical-heat transfer problems that operate at high temperatures. These errors appear to be closely related to the temperature at which the ablation device operates and not to the amount of power applied by the device or the state of tissue perfusion. Conclusion Accounting for temperature-dependent phenomena may be critically important in the safe operation of radiofrequency ablation device that operate near 100 degree C.

T1 - LakeVOC: A Deterministic Model to Estimate Volatile Organic Compound Concentrations in Reservoirs and Lakes
AN - 19442462; 7292721
AB - This report documents LakeVOC, a model to estimate volatile organic compound (VOC) concentrations in lakes and reservoirs. LakeVOC represents the lake or reservoir as a two-layer system and estimates VOC concentrations in both the epilimnion and hypolimnion. The air-water flux of a VOC is characterized in LakeVOC in terms of the two-film model of air-water exchange. LakeVOC solves the system of coupled differential equations for the VOC concentration in the epilimnion, the VOC concentration in the hypolimnion, the total mass of the VOC in the lake, the volume of the epilimnion, and the volume of the hypolimnion. A series of nine simulations were conducted to verify LakeVOC representation of mixing, dilution, and gas exchange characteristics in a hypothetical lake, and two simulations were conducted to verify LakeVOC estimates of VOC concentrations in an actual reservoir under environmental conditions. These 11 simulations showed that LakeVOC correctly handled mixing, dilution, and gas exchange and adequately estimated VOC concentrations within the epilimnion in an actual reservoir with daily input parameters. As the parameter- input time scale increased (from daily to weekly to monthly, for example), the differences between the measured-averaged concentrations and the model-estimated concentrations generally increased, especially for the hypolimnion. This may be because as the time scale is increased from daily to weekly to monthly, the averaging of model inputs may cause a loss of detail in the model estimates.

T1 - Adoption of TS-R-1 in the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations for type B and fissile material
AN - 19233999; 5789029
AB - The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is currently conducting a major revision of its regulations on the transport of radioactive material which are found in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 71 (10 CFR Part 71). The NRC and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) jointly share responsibility for regulating the transport of radioactive material. Consequently, the NRC and the DOT are both revising their regulations to be compatible with the latest edition of the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA's) standard TS-R-1 (1996) for the transport of radioactive material. Since the NRC and the DOT share responsibility for regulating in this area, challenges arise in determining which provisions of TS-R-1 should result in conforming changes to the NRC's and the DOT's respective regulations, while also ensuring that the NRC's and the DOT's regulations remain consistent.

T1 - A simple technique for determining the reaction of barley genotypes to Pyrenophora graminea
AN - 18722425; 5605935
AB - An in vitro technique was used to determine the reaction of 10 barley genotypes to Pyrenophora graminea, the seed-borne pathogen causing barley leaf stripe disease. Determination was based on the percentage of inoculated seeds that produced fungal hyphae when cultured on potato dextrose agar. The technique allows low, intermediate and absolute levels of resistance to leaf stripe to be determined. Genotypes CI-5791 and Banteng were resistant, Thibaut, Igri and PK (30-531) were moderately resistant, Gollf was moderately susceptible, and WI2291, Arabi Abiad, Furat 1 and Arrivate were susceptible. The in vitro and in field assessments were significant (correlation coefficient r = 0.96), results indicating that repeated measurements for infected seeds by this in vitro method were very similar to those of field assessments.

T1 - Long Range Transport of Asian Dust from Dust Storms and its Impact on Japan
AN - 16164536; 5649215
AB - We simulated the long range transport of dust emitted from dust storms that occurred in China by using a global three-dimensional chemical transport model. A modified dust emission flux scheme and a nonlocal diffusion scheme for determining the atmospheric eddy diffusivity in the atmospheric boundary layer were implemented to improve the chemical transport model. We examined the dust transport by comparing the model results with TOMS satellite images. The model calculated monthly total deposition of dust masses were used for comparison with the measurements collected at sampling stations in Japan, and good agreement was found. The model generally reproduced the temporal and spatial variations of dust reasonably well.

T1 - Thin films of block copolymer blends for enhanced performance of acoustic wave-based chemical sensors.
AN - 72806152; 12510763
AB - The performance of quartz crystal oscillator-based volatile organic compound (VOC) sensors has been enhanced by using coatings made from poly(styrene-block-ethylene-co-butylene-block-styrene) block copolymers blended with resins and homopolymers. Enhanced performance is characterized by a wider operational temperature range (-10 to +50 degrees C) over which the sensors displayed, concurrently, an analyte sensitivity of >0.2 Hz/ppm toluene, minimal energy loss (resistance <120 ohms), and response times of <20 min (time required to reach 90% of full response). Atomic force microscopy images are consistent with a process in which the additive associates with the polystyrene portions of the microphase-separated block copolymer. This association reinforces the rigidity of the polystyrene network while allowing the rapid uptake of VOCs by the softer polyethylene/butylene phase.

T1 - DECOMMISSIONING OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE 1988 FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT).
AN - 16344541; 9855
AB - PURPOSE: Actions required for the decommissioning of commercial nuclear facilities are discussed as part of the requirement for considering changes in regulations governing such actions. The 1988 final EIS on this subject covered activities falling under the concerned regulations would include those involved in decommissioning pressurized water reactors, boiling water reactors, mixed oxide fuel fabrication plants, fuel reprocessing plants, uranium hexafluoride conversion plants, uranium fuel fabrication plants, independent spent fuel storage installations, nuclear energy centers, and facilities for handling nonfuel-cycle by-products and source and special nuclear materials. Areas in which present regulatory requirements and guidance would have to be more specific would include timeliness of license termination in the event that a nuclear facility ceases operation, assurance from the nuclear facilities licensee that adequate funds are available to decommission the facility, assurance that the licensee has a definite decommissioning plan, and determination of acceptable residual radioactivity levels required for the release of affected property for unrestricted use. The residual radioactive level for permitting the release of a nuclear facility for unrestricted use would be 10 mrems per year whole-body dose equivalent. Excluded here from consideration for regulatory change are decommissioning of low-level waste burial facilities, high-level waste repositories, and uranium mill and mill tailings piles, which are covered in separate rulemaking activities, and decommissioning of uranium mines that are not under Nuclear Regulatory Commission jurisdiction. This final supplemental EIS updates the information provided in the 1988 final EIS. The supplement is intended to be used to evaluate environmental impacts that occur during the decommissioning of nuclear power reactors as residual radioactivity at each site is reduced to levels that allow for termination of a license to operate the facility. It updates the final EIS with respect to pressurized water reactors, boiling water reactors, and multiple reactor stations. The supplement goes beyond the 1988 statement to consider high-temperature gass-coooled reactions and fast breeder reactors. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In providing background for the development of regulatory standards, these guidelines for decommissioning nuclear facilities would allow dismantling of exhausted or damaged facilities in a safe, efficient, and timely manner. Assurance that residual radioactivity would remain within safe dosage levels would allow unrestricted use of sites formerly used for development of nuclear resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Decommissioning activities would expose workers to additional occupational doses of radioactivity. Dumping radioactive wastes from decommissioned facilities would involve the irreversible commitment of a small amount of land at an appropriate radioactive waste burial facility. Decommissioning of facilities would result in a slight economic burden for licensees and their consumers. LEGAL MANDATES: Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regulations. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs, see 81-0222D, Volume 5, Number 3 and 88-0187F, Volume 12, Number 1.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: NORTH ANNA POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, LOUISA COUNTY, VIRGINIA (SEVENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 16362141; 9850
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for the North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2, Louisa County, Virginia for an additional 20 years is proposed in this seventh supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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 Virginia Electric and Power Company) nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 North Anna units in this final supplement. If the license is 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. In addition to the No Action Alternative, alternatives to license renewal addressed in this supplement include coal-fired generation, gas-fired generation, imported electrical power, and other, less traditional means of power generation. If the operating license is not renewed, North Anna, Units 1 and 2, would be shut down on or before the expiration dates of the current licenses, which are April 1, 2018 and June August 21, 2020, respectively. Each unit, which is rated for a net electrical output of 2,775 MW-thermal, consists of three-coolant-loop pressurized light-water reactor nuclear steam supply and steam-driven turbine generator designed and manufactured by Westinghouse. Makeup water for the once-through cooling systems is withdrawn from Lake Anna, a 9,600-acre reservoir created in 1971 by erecting a dam on the main stem of the North Anna River. The reservoir also provides recreational opportunities and flood control benefits. The power station uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems. Three 500-kilovolt transmission lines and one 230-kilovolt transmission line, each of which occupies a separate right-of-way ranging from 15 to 41 miles in length, connect the station to the regional power grid. 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 as well as providing recreational and flood control benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of units would continue to remove significant quantities of water from the North Anna Reservoir and return makeup water to the impoundment. Release of water to the impoundment from the cooling system results in a thermal plume, 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 02-0255D, Volume 26, Number 3. For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: SURRY POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, SURRY COUNTY, VIRGINIA (SIXTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 16350135; 9849
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Surry Power Station, units 1 and 2 in Surry County, Virginia for an additional 20 years is proposed in this third final supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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. The applicant, Virginia Electric and Power Company, 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 the units is addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the ANO-1 in this final supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is May 25, 2012 for Unit 1 and January 29, 2013 for Unit 2. The power station is located on an 840-acre site on the Gravel Neck Peninsula on the south side of the James River, approximately 25 miles upstream of the point where the river enters the Chesapeake Bay. The site includes an exclusion area with a radius. Each unit consists of a pressurized light-water reactor and three steam-driven turbine generators manufactured by Westinghouse. Each unit was designed for an output of 2,441 megawatts-thermal, with a corresponding gross electrical output of 822.6 megawatts-electric. Units 1 and 2 went into commercial operation in December 1972 and May 1973, respectively. In 1995, both units were up-rated to a core power output of 2,546 megawatts-thermal, with a calculated gross output of 855.4 megawatts-electric. Average net capacity is 1,602 megawatts-electric for the plant. The units' condensers utilize once-through cooling systems that withdraw brackish water from the James River estuary, pump water through unit condensers, and return heated water to the estuary at a point approximately six miles upriver from the withdrawal point. The units employ 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 nine transmission lines running with two corridors, extending a total of 170 miles, requiring approximately 5,000 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. 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: Operation of the units would continue to remove water from the James River and, via 10 wells, from the Potomac aquifer, and deliver makeup water to the James River. Release of water to the river from the once-through systems would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the estuary. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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).

T1 - Estimation of the effective dose when protective aprons are used in medical procedures: a theoretical evaluation of several methods.
AN - 72747706; 12467294
AB - The use of the personal dose equivalent Hp(10), as measured by one or more dosimeters, in estimating the effective dose equivalent H(E) and the effective dose E was examined for situations in which a protective apron is worn by the monitored person during medical procedures. The photon energy range considered was between 0.03-1.0 MeV. Several methods recommended in the technical literature for this purpose were assessed and their ability to provide reasonable estimates for H(E) and E were compared. The assessments were theoretical and used Monte Carlo transport methods and an anthropomorphic phantom to calculate H(E), E, and Hp(10). The results showed that all of the recommended methods, using either one or more dosimeters, were applicable to this situation but that most gave good results only within limited photon energy ranges, outside of which they either considerably over-or under-estimated the doses. Some provided good estimates over the entire energy range considered.

T1 - U.S. DOE Integrated Collaborative Technology Development Program for CO sub(2) Separation and Capture
AN - 19424202; 5744809
AB - Electric power generation represents one of the largest carbon dioxide (CO sub(2)) emitters in the United States. Roughly one-third of all the United States' carbon emissions come from power plants. Since electricity generation is expected to grow, and fossil fuels will continue to be the dominant fuel source, power generation can be expected to provide even greater CO sub(2) contributions in the future. Consequently, an important component of the United States Department of Energy's (DOE's) research and development program is dedicated to reducing CO sub(2) emissions from power plants by developing technologies to capture CO sub(2) for utilization and/or sequestration. A primary goal of this research is to develop technology options that dramatically lower the cost of eliminating CO sub(2) from flue gas and other streams by use of either pre- or post-combustion processes. This research is in its early stages, and is exploring a wide range of approaches, including membranes, improved CO sub(2) sorbents, advanced scrubbing, oxyfuel combustors, formation of CO sub(2) hydrates, and economic assessments. This paper presents an overview of the DOE research program in the area of CO sub(2) separation and capture, while specifically addressing the status of research efforts related to promising pathways and potential technological breakthroughs.

T1 - Atmospheric aerosol measurements of super(238)U and super(232)Th at Fernald, Ohio, and implications on inhalation dose calculations
AN - 16161803; 5640331
AB - Measurements of the aerosol size distribution of super(238)U and super(232)Th at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fernald Environmental Management Project site were made to improve the inhalation dose calculations to off-site individuals. For approximately 1 y an 8-stage cascade impactor was co-located with a high volume sampler and operated at the Fernald Environmental Management Project site to collect aerosol samples. During most of the year, the site was dominated by giant particles with more than 70% of the mass of super(238)U above 15 mu m. The seasonal average of the activity median aerodynamic diameter, based on the impactor samples, which excluded particles >15 mu m, for both uranium and thorium was similar to 6.5 mu m. These numbers reflect the activities at the site and the domination of the resuspension processes. During most sampling periods the size distribution was bimodal. 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. Fernald Environmental Management Project is required to calculate the maximum allowable dose from airborne emissions, excluding radon, to meet NESHAP compliance. These calculations assume an AMAD of 1 mu m. We found that if you combine size distribution information with the latest ICRP 66 lung model you reduce the estimated dose by a factor of 7. Inclusion of the size distribution of radionuclides at any sampling site would substantially improve the dose estimates to the population.

T1 - Effect of foliar and soil potassium fertilisation on wheat yield and severity of Septoria tritici blotch
AN - 1034830613; 17060829
AB - Field research was undertaken to investigate the effects of potassium K sub(2)SO sub(4) (36% K) as a foliar spray and/or soil application on grain yield, 1000-grain weight and severity of Septoria tritici blotch on wheat during 1998 and 1999. Two Syrian bread wheat cultivais (Bohuth 6 and Cham 6) and one promising mutant line (L92-6) were used in this study. Six treatments were evaluated: untreated (without K application), 3 and 5 g/L foliar K application, 60 kg/ha soil K application, 3 g/L foliar K + 60 kg/ha soil K application and 5 g/L foliar K + 60 kg/ha soil K application. Plants were sprayed with 2 L/m super(2) K sub(2)SO sub(4) solution three times at 5-day intervals stalling at growth stage (GS) 32, and thereafter inoculated with a mixture of 15 virulent isolates of Septoria tritici at GS 33-34. The results showed that the average response to application of potassium fertilisers was positively correlated (r=0.94) with the susceptibility level of cultivais compared with the control. The level of infection for all potassium treatments was reduced by 48%, 28% and about 0% in 1998 and by 47%, 35% and 21 % in 1999 for Bohuth 6, L92-6 and Cham 6, respectively. Mean increments for grain yield ranged from 34-120% in 1998, and 80-170% in 1999 for the 5 g/L foliar K + 60 kg/ha soil K application. This combined treatment appealed to be more effective on calcareous soils, which aie typical of Mediterranean environments.

T1 - Influence of terrain on scaling laws for river networks
AN - 51961082; 2003-053191
AB - The upper Cheat River network departs from scaling laws describing a large number of river networks in North America. This departure is traced to its corrugated terrain. The more typical random terrain of the lower Cheat River network obeys the standard scaling laws. We modify the random network model of Scheidegger to include the effects of topography, reproducing the behavior observed in the Cheat River basin.

AN - 50894190; 2003-020463
AB - Mercury contamination of the fish population in a freshwater lake north of San Francisco is the kind of thing that generates bad publicity for industries involved in exploration for and development of natural resources. However, technology developed by these industries, geophysical technology in particular, is probably the best way to find out the source of the problem-an unavoidable first step for any clean-up efforts to have a chance of success.

T1 - Fate of super(14)C-chlorpyrifos in the tropical estuarine environment
AN - 20184797; 5565131
AB - The distribution and fate of super(14)C-chlorpyrifos were investigated in microcosms simulating the conditions of the tropical estuarine environment of North Vietnam. The microcosms containing brackish water, sediment, clams (Meretrix meretrix) and green algae (Gracilaria verrucosa) from the Red River estuary, were maintained for 30 days. The results show that chlorpyrifos released into the water was rapidly adsorbed onto sediment. However, only 1-2% of the initial amount of super(14)C-chlorpyrifos could be detected in the sediment by the end of the experiment. The accumulation of chlorpyrifos in fauna and flora attained, respectively, a maximum of 5.8% and 2.2% of the initial activity observed at days 3 and 2 after application. The compound 3,4,5-trichloro-2pyridinol (TCP) was the major transformation product of chlorpyrifos found in the microcosms. TCP accumulated in the clam's soft tissues, and, 3 days after application, reached a maximum of 0.5% of the total super(14)C-activity. The balance of the super(14)C-activity at the end of the experiment suggests that the main loss of the insecticide from the system was through volatilisation of chlorpyrifos and escape to the atmosphere. The persistence half-time of the compound in the aquatic microcosms was computed at 5 days.

T1 - Seismic Hazard Assessment: Simultaneous Effect of Earthquakes at Close and Distant Sites
AN - 18684958; 5584630
AB - A modified version of seismic hazard assessment, directed toward planning of emergency relief effort is proposed. The method begins with a probabilistic hazard assessment to determine a reference peak ground acceleration (PGA) at a near site, rather than using a reference earthquake of a given magnitude. The reference PGA then serves as a basis for a probabilistic assessment of PGA at more distant sites. The ideas are illustrated by studying seismic hazard for Northern Israel from earthquake on the northern section of the Dead Sea Rift (DSR). The reference PGA at a site 10 km from the DSR taken to be 0.3 g, which has a return period estimated to be 320 years. Given an event with PGA of 0.3 g at 10 km, the subsequent analysis for distant sites shows that there is less than a 31% probability of PGA above 0.1 g at 30 km and an 8% probability that the PGA at 50 km will exceed 0.3 g.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: ST. LUCIE UNITS 1 AND 2, HUTCHINSON ISLAND, ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA. (ELEVENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 16364097; 9661
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses St. Lucie Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2, located in St. Lucie County, Florida for an additional 20 years is proposed in this 11th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, Florida Power and Light Company, 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 the units are addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is March 1, 2016, for Unit 1 and April 6, 2023, for Unit 2. The power station is located on a 1,130-acre site on the widest section of Hutchinson Island in an area previously degraded by mosquito control projects. The plant has two General Electric pressurized light-water reactors, each with a design rating for a net power output of 1,678 megawatts of electric power. Plant cooling is provided by extraction of water from the Atlantic Ocean via three offshore intake structures, which pump the water into an intake canal. Heated water is sent back to the ocean through offshore diffusers. The units employ 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 three 230-kilovolt transmission lines, located within a single right-of-way extending 11 miles to the Midway substation POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant 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: Operation of the units would continue to withdrawal million gallons of process water from the Atlantic Ocean via the intake structures and deliver makeup water back to the ocean. Release of water to the ocean from the once-through systems would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the nearshore area. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

T1 - Evaluating radiological risks from seismotectonic hazards at the proposed radioactive waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada: U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's risk-informed and performance-based approach
AN - 51977309; 2003-046091
AB - The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) plans to apply for a license to construct a repository for high-level radioactive waste that will likely be subjected to seismotectonic hazards including earthquake ground motions, fault displacements, tilting and fracturing. The DOE license application must consider such hazards and demonstrate that, among other considerations, they pose no undue risk to public health and safety for a performance period of 10,000 years. NRC regulations pertaining to a Yucca Mountain (YM) repository use a risk-informed and performance-based strategy (i.e., they focus on system performance) to adequately protect the public and the environment. DOE must identify features, events, and processes that could affect repository performance (e.g., a seismic hazard scenario might include an earthquake that could cause rockfalls that damage waste containers in drifts and thereby potentially increase dose). For screening purposes, DOE may estimate the likelihood of such events or groups of events. If the likelihood of the event or scenario is less than 1 in 10,000 per year over 10,000 years, then the event or scenario can be excluded from assessments of performance (10 CFR 63.102(j),114(d)). For the remaining hazards, DOE would need to demonstrate either that: the hazard can be excluded because there is negligible dose contribution; or, its contribution to dose in combination with doses from all other remaining hazards would not exceed the required limit on expected annual dose to an individual. Also, this demonstration of acceptable repository performance must include a systematic evaluation of uncertainty, alternative models (e.g., tectonic), testing of key assumptions, and supporting technical bases for the hazards (e.g., earthquake).

T1 - U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's regulations for long-term safety of geologic disposal of high-level radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
AN - 51863667; 2004-029800
AB - On November 2, 2001, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued its final regulations for a potential geologic repository at Yucca Mountain. The NRC regulations establish criteria to evaluate the safety of a potential repository that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) plans to build, operate, and close at Yucca Mountain. Estimation of long-term behavior of the repository will be uncertain because of the first-of-a-kind nature of a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain, the inherent complexity and variability of any geologic formation, and the long regulatory period. Confidence in the long-term safety of the repository is supported by criteria that call for: a comprehensive evaluation of overall repository performance, the repository to be comprised of multiple barriers (both natural and engineered), and testing to confirm the performance of the repository and its barriers. A comprehensive evaluation of performance requires identification of the features, events and processes (FEPs) that could affect repository performance; consideration of the uncertainty in parameters and models used to represent the FEPs; and evaluation of the complex interactions between the engineered barriers and the geology, hydrology and chemistry of the natural system. The understanding of repository performance, including consideration of uncertainties, must be supported by a wide variety of data and testing; such as information obtained from laboratory tests, field investigations, and natural analog studies. If NRC grants a license to DOE, the regulations require DOE to continue testing and evaluation of the adequacy of the assumptions, data, and analyses that permitted the construction of the repository and subsequent emplacement of waste. This required "performance confirmation" program would include in situ monitoring, and laboratory and field testing. Thus, NRC's licensing decision will be based on a comprehensive understanding of the overall behavior of the repository and its barriers that is supported by scientific information and data, and confirmed by an ongoing monitoring and evaluation process.

T1 - Delineating the subsurface; applying surface geophysics to locate groundwater flow in a karst aquifer
AN - 51853677; 2004-033234
AB - Pollution and alteration of surface and subsurface hydrology increasingly threaten karst areas. In order to protect these fragile and dynamic areas, efficient diagnostic methods must be adapted for use in complex karst settings. While application of surface geophysical techniques to karst problems is not new, its use to delineate possible flow paths of clean water is. This study examines stream loss in a small tributary of the Youghiogheny River known as Hoyes Run in Garrett County, Maryland. The stream bounds the pit of the Deep Creek limestone quarry, operated by Keystone Lime Company. During low flow, the stream abruptly terminates in a swallet, leaving approximately 300 m of dry bed. Two other zones of loss were located during periods of higher flow. Multiple resistivity profiles using the SuperSting (super TM) Resistivity System were generated along the zone of stream loss. A 3-D model of possible void space corresponding to resistivity response was generated using EMIGMA (super TM) geophysical interpretation software. The resulting polygon suggests that a sizable void exists between the stream loss zone and the quarry pit. Dye trace using fluorescein (super TM) confirmed the flow path of water from the stream into the quarry. Geologic examination of the area reveals several sizable known caves developed in the same limestone sequence {Greenbrier Formation, Loyalhanna Member (Ml)}; however, there are no known cave entrances in the immediate vicinity. Borehole confirmation is slated before remediation measures are executed. A possible repeat of the resistivity profiles utilizing attenuation enhancing salts injected into the groundwater is being considered to improve signal density. The study suggests that surface geophysics coupled with computer-based modeling can locate possible flow paths for groundwater in a karst aquifer, even in the absence of obvious karst surface expression.

T1 - Experimental investigation of gas/water/rock interactions relevant to geological CO (sub 2) sequestration
AN - 51793601; 2004-077441
AB - A great deal is already known about the thermophysical properties of the CO (sub 2) -water system as a function of temperature, pressure, and salinity. Critical experimental data, however, are still lacking in the PTX range relevant to CO (sub 2) sequestration in deep saline aquifers. Considerable uncertainties also exist when the complexities of multi-component salinity are considered. A large number of additional uncertainties are associated with the heterogeneous reactions which may occur in deep aquifers upon CO (sub 2) injection, especially in the area of reaction kinetics. An ongoing project at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) focuses on the complex solution chemistry of CO (sub 2) in brines and the special types of analyses required to study their kinetics, and on the carbonate and silicate mineral formation/dissolution reactions which may be important in geologic sequestration in deep saline aquifers. The facilities to conduct hydrothermal CO (sub 2) -water-rock reactions and analyze these complex mixtures have been developed at NETL. In order to study the reaction kinetics of these systems, rapid analysis of meta-stable solutions may be required in addition to standard analytical methods and techniques. The rocking autoclave for the hydrothermal reactions and each of the key instruments for characterization of the brines, mineral components, and reaction products will be described. Experimental results from this investigation will be integrated with geochemical modeling studies and field studies.

T1 - Carbon dioxide sequestration with brines
AN - 51793182; 2004-077440
AB - Permanent sequestration of carbon dioxide can reduce the green house gas effect generated from combustion of fossil fuels. Injection of carbon dioxide into saline aquifer formations is one option in geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide. The estimated carbon storage capacity of saline formations in the United States is large, making them a viable long-term solution. Carbon dioxide can be trapped in saline aquifers via mineral trapping. Various carbonates such as calcite, dolomite, and siderite can be formed in the brine aquifer by mineral trapping. The extended time, however, required for mineral trapping is the major concern of this process. In this study, accelerated mineral trapping experiments with brine solutions under controlled conditions have been initiated. Brine solutions were tested in a half-liter autoclave under various conditions. Preliminary results indicate that the mineral species type and amount of solid precipitation depend on the pH of the brine and the reaction conditions utilized. In addition, the reactions were modeled with an advanced geo-chemical code. The computer simulation includes all the possible chemical reactions for the formation of carbonates and various reaction parameters including temperature, pressure, ionic concentration, and pH. The combined experimental and modeling data suggest that pH plays a key role in the formation of carbonate minerals. The effects of temperature and carbon dioxide pressure have less impact on the formation of carbonates.

T1 - Mineral trapping potential of brine aquifers to sequester anthropogenic CO2
AN - 51792066; 2004-077439
AB - The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is committed to helping the U.S. control emission of anthropogenic CO2. A significant new storage technique involves scrubbing or removal of CO2 from the flue gases of fossil fuel power plants and injection into underground geologic formations, thus sequestering or preventing its addition to the atmosphere. Ideally, geologic sequestration would result in mineral trapping, the process of forming in-situ, interstitial carbonate minerals from CO2 and the host rock and formation waters. To address the potential of brine aquifers as mineral trapping horizons, a number of published oil and gas well brine composition data bases were evaluated for the Oriskany Formation, Mt. Simon Formation and the Williston Basin. There was considerable variation in the number of chemical variables that were tabulated for the respective wells. To evaluate the variability of the ionic concentrations and pH among the data, a one-way analysis of variance model (ANOVA) was computed (p = 0.05) for each formation. Although there are significant differences among the carbonate forming metal ions, the brine chemistry of the three aquifers shows that the units have the potential to sequester anthropogenic CO2. A limiting factor for the carbonation reaction however may be the acidic nature of some of the brines.

T1 - Reservoir engineering simulations, prioritization of laboratory experiments, and design of field research for coalbed sequestration
AN - 51790229; 2004-077764
AB - The world's first carbon dioxide-enhanced coalbed methane pilot project in the San Juan Basin has indicated that sequestration of carbon dioxide in unmineable coal seams may be both technically and economically feasible. Thus, coalbed sequestration is a promising candidate for early commercialization; both reservoir simulations and identification of the most-needed laboratory and field research measurements are needed now. In the implementation of new technologies for underground injection of fluids, field-scale reservoir simulators traditionally are used in the design of pilot and demonstration projects. However, they also may be used to perform sensitivity studies and to help identify those chemical, geophysical, flow, and other measurements that are most-needed for optimization of the new technology. We have performed parametric studies of the effects of various (uncontrollable) coal-seam properties and (controllable) engineering parameters on carbon dioxide sequestration. These properties include porosity, permeability, cleat spacing, pod size, sorption isotherm, sorption rate, and reservoir pressure, water saturation, and gas composition. Engineering parameters explored include various combinations of vertical and horizontal wells, and well lengths and orientations. These results may contribute not only to site selection and design of operating conditions, but to choice and interpretation of both field measurements (such as well-test measurements of permeability) and laboratory measurements (such as the effects of confining pressure on sorption isotherms, flow through cleats, and coal swelling). The results may also help to guide the development of advanced simulators that include such features as explicit cleats (instead of dual porosity) or advanced gridding methods.

T1 - One-dimensional reactive transport model for geological carbon sequestration
AN - 51790202; 2004-077763
AB - The capture of carbon dioxide from large point sources and injection into geological formations such as deep saline aquifers is a potential option for green house gas mitigation that has received a great deal of attention in recent years. However, there are several issues that need to be studied before this option can become economically and socially acceptable. A few of these key issues include the underground storage time, the changes in a formation's porosity and permeability induced by CO (sub 2) injection, and the ultimate fate of the injected CO (sub 2) . These issues are all affected by the chemical interaction between the brine, the injected CO (sub 2) , and the mineral content of the aquifer. In the current study a one-dimensional reactive transport model was developed using the PHREEQC geochemical modeling code to predict the long-term chemical behavior of a deep saline aquifer after CO (sub 2) injection. The model predicts the emergence of four well-defined reaction fronts, each characterized by the total dissolution of a mineral species and the sudden drop in pH level of the solution. These fronts emerge as a result of stepwise mineral buffering reactions, which stabilize the pH within the regions between reaction fronts. The results also indicate that the transport of carbon is significantly retarded with respect to the flow of the brine itself. This is due to the precipitation of carbonate minerals (mainly siderite). This precipitation of carbonates is of particular interest since it may lead to permanent storage of carbon in a stable, solid form.

T1 - Moisture observations in sealed tunnels at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
AN - 51790055; 2004-077466
AB - The Topopah Spring Tuff is the host rock for a proposed repository for high-level nuclear waste. Underground tunnels and alcoves in this tuff that have been sealed from ventilation provide potentially useful data on natural moisture conditions and can help address the question of whether significant amounts of percolating groundwater drip into tunnels under present-day conditions. Given the low infiltration rates in the region (Flint et al., 2001; Zhu et al., 2002), natural seepage and dripping in the sealed tunnels would provide evidence of focused flow within fracture networks that could be used to help calibrate seepage models for present-day conditions. These observations can then be used to estimate seepage fluxes during future, wetter climates. In 1999 the Department of Energy (DOE) sealed a nearly 1-km long tunnel bored near the proposed repository area. Four bulkheads isolate four sections of this tunnel, commonly called the Cross Drift, to allow a return to natural, ambient moisture conditions. Alcove 7, which crosses the Ghost Dance Fault, is a niche that has also been sealed with a bulkhead. Observations made in the sealed tunnels during unventilated entries help to ensure that moisture observations will be little affected by the rapid drying effects of ventilation. Extensive evidence of humid conditions has been seen during such unventilated entries, including small puddles apparently produced by condensation dripping. DOE is attempting to systematically collect drips in sample bottles and on plastic sheets so that chemical analyses can be used to identify sources of the water (i.e., natural seepage, condensation, or a mixture). To date two locations of suspected natural seepage have been observed: one in Alcove 7 and the other in a sealed section of the Cross Drift. Both of these drip zones occur outside the proposed repository footprint. DOE is continuing work in the sealed tunnels to address agreements with NRC. Hydrologic data and observations from the sealed tunnels provide a reference point for DOE's performance assessments of deep percolation and seepage. The NRC staff believes that long-term empirical observations in sealed tunnels could be an element of a performance confirmation plan for Yucca Mountain.

T1 - An initial set of working hypotheses concerning some chemical and physical events when CO2 is injected into a coalbed
AN - 51787641; 2004-077765
AB - An initial set of working hypotheses concerning the effects of supercritical CO (sub 2) injection on both the organic and mineral matter in coal will be presented. This will include a discussion of the displacement of CH (sub 4) , the adsorption and imbibition of CO (sub 2) into the coal, coal swelling, extraction of small organic molecules trapped in the coal macromolecular network, the migration of the extracted molecules through the coal and their effect on permeability, the concept of threshold pressure, as well as the breaking and formation of weak intermolecular interactions between adjacent macromolecules and between the macromolecules and CO (sub 2) . The presence of high pressure CO (sub 2) and water can also have a profound effect on the mineral matter present in coal. Many minerals present in coal are soluble in acidic aqueous solutions. The solubility of CO (sub 2) in water at various temperatures as a function of pressure and the reaction of CO (sub 2) with water to form carbonic acid will be described. As pressure increases, the solubility of CO (sub 2) increases, and in general, as the temperature decreases, CO (sub 2) solubility increases. As pressure increases, pH decreases. As temperature increases, pH increases. Many of the minerals present in coal are soluble in acidic solutions. The Alkaline Earth metals are removed from coal by treating coal with acidic aqueous solutions. We expect calcite, dolomite, and other carbonate minerals to be removed from coal when it is in contact with acidic aqueous solutions of carbonic acid. Other minerals and clays may also be removed. The solubility trends of a number of minerals common to coal will be described. Lastly, there have been a number of studies of the chemical and physical effects of CO (sub 2) injection on reservoir rocks. These previous studies will be briefly reviewed in an attempt to glean useful information concerning the possible effects of injection of supercritical CO (sub 2) into coal.

T1 - Geo-electrical investigation for sulfur prospecting in Teshreen structure in northeast Syria
AN - 51783284; 2004-072488
AB - Electrical and structural characteristics of formations favorable for sulfur occurrences in northeast Syria are described using geo-electrical prospecting methods. Simple (VES) and combined (CVES) Schlumberger vertical electrical soundings and geo-electrical profiling using a Wenner configuration were applied to the Teshreen structure. Six profiles (A, B, C, D, E, and F) at the borders of anticlines, where positive and negative structures are joined and salt formations have a tendency to disappear, were studied. Secondary structures, characterized by high apparent resistivity exceeding 3000 Ohm.m were located on each profile using a Wenner profiling configuration. These secondary structures are demonstrated to be favorable for sulfur prospecting by both drilled wells and vertical electrical soundings. Traditional interpretation of the 84 VES measurements is supported by data from 14 CVES measurments. The CVES technique is a powerful tool, due to its improved resolution of the electrical boundaries. Thicknesses and resistivities of the Lower Al-Fares, Al-Garibeh, and Al-Dibbaneh formations were determined through the interpretation of VES measurements. The same VES measurements were then interpreted using the Pichgin method, whereby all the subsurface tectonic features were determined for depth penetration corresponding to AB/2 = 1000 m. The integration of the first and second VES phases creates a clear picture of the subsurface, including tectonic, geometric, and geo-electrical information. In summary, the sulfur occurrences in the research area are controlled by tectonic paths that are well defined by geo-electrical methods. These diverse geo-electrical methods could be used successfully for sulfur prospecting in similar environments.

T1 - Phosphate prospecting using natural gamma ray well logging in the Khneifiss Mine, Syria
AN - 51782900; 2004-072489
AB - Natural gamma ray well logging, an effective tool in geophysical prospecting, is used to investigate the radioactive and phosphatic layers in the Khneifiss mine in Syria. The interpretation of the gamma ray measurements, using numerical methods of analysis developed previously and applied successfully in some phosphatic areas in Syria, make it possible to define precisely the phosphate thickness from place to place in the study area. This technique has been successfully applied while studying seven boreholes in the area. Sixty-three core samples from phosphatic layers in the boreholes have been analyzed, using gamma ray spectrometry for the determination of P (sub 2) O (sub 5) , U, Th, and K. Good correlation between P (sub 2) O (sub 5) content and U concentration has been found. The total count gamma logs correlate reasonably well with the U core analysis, suggesting that radioactive equilibrium exists in the U decay series. These gamma logs can be therefore used effectively to quantitatively map the distribution of P (sub 2) O (sub 5) and U. The characteristics of both subsurface phosphatic sand and phosphatic rocks have been investigated and outlined using a statistical approach. The affinity of uranium to some trace elements such as V, Sr, Cu, and Ni has been verified using correlation matrices of these elements.

T1 - Heavy mineral survey of the Syrian beach sands, south of Tartous; their nature, distribution and potential
AN - 51781695; 2004-072486
AB - A heavy mineral survey of beach and dune sands including geochemical analysis for trace elements was undertaken to evaluate the economic potential of the sands and to understand the nature and distribution of the heavy minerals relative to potential source rocks. Results indicate that heavy minerals are generally derived from outcropping volcanic rocks that comprise a proportion of the hinterland in the south part of our survey area. The most abundant minerals are magnetite and pyroxene. The morphologies of the heavy mineral grains are angular to subangular, suggesting that they were transported short distances from the source rocks. Factors controlling heavy mineral distributions include wave and wind action, proximity to provenance, the fluvial drainage network, and longshore currents. The most economically important mineral is ilmenite. Zircon and rutile concentrations are relatively minor and thus have lower economic potential.

T1 - Recertification of Waste Isolation Pilot Plant
AN - 51775226; 2005-000304
AB - WIPP was certified for the disposal of Transuranic wastes (TRU) in May 1998, by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the first shipments arrived in March 1999. TRU wastes contain radionuclides and hazardous materials derived from the cleanup of defense related activities. The arrival of the first shipment of waste started a clock that will run until March 2004; by which time, the US Department of Energy must provide the EPA with documentation proving WIPP worthy of recertification. EPA must then make the decision as to whether or not WIPP continues to remain in compliance with the long-term regulatory standards of Title 40 CFR, Part 191. Recertification is a congressionally mandated regulatory checkpoint, required every five-years throughout the operational life of the repository, that determines if WIPP may continue to operate. The original certification came about in response to DOE's submittal of an enormous document--the Compliance Certification Application (CCA)--to the EPA for that agency's consideration. Likewise, the "re-certification" of the repository will come about in response to the submittal of what DOE plans to be a condensed regulatory document--the Compliance Recertification Application (CRA). In the repository vicinity, nature has not behaved precisely as predicted in the CCA, and human activity (drilling, mining, etc.) in the Delaware Basin continues to change as well. All of these changes must be taken into account by the writers of the CRA, and, ultimately, by the EPA. A smooth and complete CRA construction and submittal process, followed by diligent and efficient review by the EPA, will contribute to a straightforward determination by the EPA that WIPP continues to comply with applicable laws and regulations. This presentation will introduce the audience to the WIPP project, the CRA process, and how the public may get involved in this process.

T1 - Radionuclide migration experiments at a scale of up to 1 metre in tuff blocks under unsaturated conditions
AN - 51775195; 2005-000195
AB - Results are presented for a migration experiment, performed on a scale of approximately 0.3 m under unsaturated conditions in a dedicated facility at the Whiteshell Laboratories in support of the US DOE nuclear waste disposal program. Na-fluorescein, H-3 (as tritiated water), Na-22, Co-60, Tc-95m/99 (as the pertechnetate anion), Cs-137, and Np-237 were used as tracers and synthetic Busted Butte pore water as the transport solution. Preliminary results are presented from a similar migration experiment that is currently being performed at a scale of approximately 1 m with the same suite of tracers in the same facility. The tuff blocks were excavated from the Calico Hills formation in the Busted Butte experimental facility at the Nevada Test Site. After a vertical flow rate of 20 mL/h had been established under unsaturated conditions through the approximately 0.3 m trial block using synthetic pore water, an 800 mL pulse of tracer-containing solution was added to the top of the block over a 40-hour period. The rate of transport of the tracers through the block was Tc-95m/99 approximately fluorescein>H-3>Np-237. These results agree quantitatively with those predicted from results obtained in static sorption experiments. Both Tc and the dye tracer were eluted slightly ahead of the tritiated water; this has been attributed to the anion exclusion effect. Post-migration radiometric analysis of the tuff in the flow field, using successive removal of layers of tuff and coring into the block, showed that Co-60 was most strongly retained, followed by Cs-137 and Na-22. These results are consistent with measured sorption coefficients obtained under static conditions. The migration experiment at a scale of 1 m was initiated in April 2001. In contrast with the previous experiment, the tracer solution is injected continuously in two locations at the top of the block, at a flow rate of 10 mL/h per injection point. By June 2002, the normalized concentrations of H-3, Tc-99 and the dye tracer in the water collected from the bottom of the block had reached a value of approximately 0.08. As expected, no evidence of the other tracers has been observed in the eluent from this second block. The results from the smaller scale experiment show that, under chemically oxidizing conditions, Tc moves slightly faster than the transport solution but that Np is retarded by a factor of approximately 3.2.

T1 - Insights from process-level modeling of contaminant transport from uranium mill tailings
AN - 51763239; 2005-009082
AB - Uranium mill tailings site licensees have used geochemical modeling to determine the effect of contaminant transport on risk to the public health and safety. Various transport models, submitted in license amendment requests to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, rely on the chemical, isotopic, and hydrologic characteristics of the site. Generally, these license amendment requests propose and justify application of alternative concentration limits of contaminants in groundwater at the point of compliance (POC), which can be a well or wells, located just downstream of the mill tailings pile, monitored for evidence of contaminant leakage from the tailings to the uppermost aquifer. Fate and transport models have used generic (literature-derived), or site-specific sorption coefficients to estimate retardation of contaminants that migrate from the tailings toward the point of exposure (POE) in the one-thousand year period of compliance. The POE is the location where water, depending on its quality, can be used for drinking (human consumption), livestock, or agriculture. Alternatively, process-level models use groundwater compositions from monitored wells, and mineralogic information to assign initial chemical conditions along the expected path of contaminant migration. Then, simulations of contaminant transport can be performed that include speciation, precipitation/dissolution, and sorption/desorption. Contaminant concentration versus time and distance are produced. This study compares the results of modeling contaminant transport from a mill tailings site using a process-level approach versus a fate and transport approach. The effect of the choice of the modeling approach on risk is addressed. Alternative selections of monitored site characterization parameters important to performance are considered.

T1 - Using risk information to determine the need for additional geochemical information for the proposed Yucca Mountain repository
AN - 51762504; 2005-009075
AB - The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) intends to apply for a license to construct a repository for high-level radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is an independent regulatory agency and has established a regulation for the proposed repository. The regulation uses a risk-informed and performance-based strategy that protects the public and the environment. The regulation requires the use of a performance assessment to judge the safety of the repository for 10,000 years. The DOE has completed performance assessments of the potential repository. The NRC has evaluated the assessments, including the supporting data. Where the NRC judges, based on a risk-informed, performance-based approach, the DOE's approach and technical bases are inadequate, the NRC requires the DOE provide additional information. The DOE needs to use geochemical information in the performance assessment to describe how engineered barriers degrade and to describe radionuclide transport. What information is required to assess adequately the repository performance and how much information is required will vary dependent upon the information's importance to risk. Retardation of radionuclides in the saturated zone at Yucca Mountain is a fundamental part of the DOE's performance assessment. From a risk-informed perspective the NRC staff would focus on those radionuclides that DOE models show contribute to the dose to the reasonably maximally exposed individual within the period of compliance. The NRC staff would also assess whether the DOE had provided a technical basis for retarded radionuclides which did not contribute to dose within 10,000 years. Those geochemical species that are important to degradation of engineered barriers are also the focus of the NRC's risk-informed geochemical review of DOE's performance assessment. However, the NRC's review of the DOE's treatment of geochemical information is focused on whether degradation of the engineered barriers contributes to the dose to the reasonably maximally exposed individual within the period of compliance. Examples of calculations that use risk information to constrain what geochemical information is needed from the DOE will be discussed. The regulation is available at http://www.nrc.gov/waste/hlw-disposal.htm

T1 - Data sufficiency, EIS development, and regulatory decision making; the role of GIS
AN - 51762382; 2005-009078
AB - Data collection, processing, and interpretation are important aspects in the development of environmental impact statements (EISs), and in regulatory decision-making. From a cost-benefit perspective, there exists an optimal amount of data that is required for these tasks. While little data can lead to inapproriate actions and poor decisions, excessive data collection can lead to increased project cost with minimal benefit. Geographic information systems (GISs) provide a tool for categorizing and organizing spatio-temporal data at sites. Visualization of this data within a well organized GIS provides an important approach to assessing data sufficiency through visual examinations of the spatial and temporal distributions of the data at the scales of the processes active at the site; the hazards present at the site; and vulnerable regions, ecologies, and communities that may be affected by the site. Through spatio-temporal data processing, visualization, and comparison within a GIS framework, important data gaps and uncertainties may be identified. This work presents a GIS/three-dimensional visualization and modeling system that is consistent with U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Council for Environmental Equality regulations for preparing EISs that are consistent with the guidance outlined in the National Environmental Policy Act. The GIS/three-dimensional visualization and modeling system incorporates a wide range of spatio-temporal data; supports data visualization, processing and integration; is applicable to regulatory decision-making; and is portable. This system has been used in NRC evaluations of data sufficiency and accuracy.

T1 - EFFECT OF DIFFERENT WATER SALINITY LEVELS ON GROWTH, NODULATION, AND N2-FIXATION BY DHAINCHA AND ON GROWTH OF SUNFLOWER USING A 15N-TRACER TECHNIQUE
AN - 21346090; 8502272
AB - The effect of different salinity levels of irrigation water (ECw range 1.1 to 33 dS/m) on the nodulation, dry matter production and N2 fixation by dhaincha (Sesbania aculeata Pers.) was investigated in a pot experiment. The same effect on the growth of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), which was also utilized as a reference crop for measuring N2-fixation by the legume crop using the [15N]isotope dilution method, was also investigated. Irrigation with water having ECw of more than 4.03 dS/m reduced plant growth, and the reduction was more pronounced in S. aculeata than in H. annuus. High levels of water salinity caused more inhibition in shoot than in root growth of both plant species. The indigenous rhizobial strains could form nodules on S. aculeata grown under different salinity levels of irrigated water, except for those irrigated with high level of ground water salinity (ECw 33 dS/m) where nodulation and N2 fixation were completely inhibited. However, %N2 fixation was significantly enhanced by a moderate salinity level (ECw of 4.03 dS/m) in irrigated water, whereas small effects were obtained with higher water salinity levels (up to 12.3 dS/m). The results indicated that S. aculeata and H. annuus grown in saline soils can be irrigated either with saline water up to 8.03 dS/m and 12.3 dS/m, respectively, or with gradually increased levels of salinity for both of them.

T1 - Wire System Safety - Potential Issues of Interest for Collaborative Research
AN - 21023636; 10882774
AB - There is a continued interest worldwide in the safety aspects of electrical wire (cable) system aging in nations' infrastructures, including operating nuclear power plants. Aging of a wire system, which includes cables, splices, terminations, circuit-breakers, relays, protective devices, and penetrations, can result in loss of critical functions of the equipment energized by the system, or in loss of critical information relevant to the decision making process and operator actions. In either situation, unanticipated or premature aging of a wire system can lead to unavailability of equipment important to safety and compromise public health and safety. While a significant amount of research has been performed related to wire system safety, there are still a number of issues that remain unresolved and should be addressed. This paper presents a preliminary list of those issues in the area of wire system safety. This list represents a good starting point, and it should be updated as new issues are identified. Further, it is proposed that the most effective way to address these issues is through a collaborative research effort in which the expertise and capabilities of various national and international experts can be focused on the resolution of these issues.

T1 - Contribution of Cable Aging to the Risk of Nuclear Power Plant Operation
AN - 21019817; 10882781
AB - A method is given for estimating the contribution of cable aging to the risk of nuclear power plant operation. In this paper, the core damage frequency is used as a surrogate for risk. The method incorporates reliability physics models to estimate the probability of cable failure. The first step is a screening step, so that the more elaborate estimates of cable failure probability are based on the most risk important cables. Then the reliability physics models are used, and finally the results for the cable failure probabilities are input into the fault tree and event tree models, and the effect on the core damage frequency obtained.

AN - 16144513; 5494843
AB - U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Vision 21 program has identified oxygen and hydrogen separation membranes as enabling technology needs for futuristic, virtually non-polluting energy production plants. DOE's advanced gas separation technology RD&D activities focus on the new breed of membrane technologies to dramatically reduce the cost and energy required for gas separations. DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has entered into a three-phase technology RD&D partnership with Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (Air Products) to revolutionize the oxygen manufacturing process using dense ceramic membranes into a new century technology. DOE-NETL is supporting Eltron Research Inc. (Eltron) and ITN Energy Systems, Inc. (ITN) to develop new, low-cost, and commercially manufacturable mixed protonic-electronic conducting membranes for separating hydrogen from synthesis gas.

T1 - The role of science in federal policy development on a regional to global scale: Personal commentary
AN - 968178728; 16466786
AB - Nutrient enrichment of coastal waters is an example of the large-scale, highly complex environmental challenges facing decision makers today. Conventional monitoring networks and advanced observational capabilities permit the detection of changes in the environment at continental to global scales (e.g., hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico, aerosol plumes stretching across the ocean, global atmospheric enrichment of carbon dioxide). Much more knowledge is needed, however, to fully understand the societal consequences of environmental change and of actions taken to address them. This paper discusses the emerging role of assessment in developing effective U.S. policy responses to large-scale, complex environmental change while improving the scientific understanding of the problem. In the cases of global climate change and coastal hypoxia, the U.S. Congress passed legislation authorizing assessments recognizing that decision making must proceed in the face of scientific uncertainty. Evaluating the state of knowledge is usually the first step in an assessment in order to provide a picture of what is known and where there are knowledge gaps. Assessments should also provide the policy maker with an idea of the level of uncertainty, how long it may take to reduce the uncertainty, what information is most critical to resolve, and the consequences and benefits of the various management options. In this paper I draw upon several examples from national assessments, including those of climate change impacts on the U.S. and relationships between Mississippi River water and Gulf of Mexico water quality, to illustrate the strengths and difficulties of using science and assessment to inform the policy process.

T1 - A whole body counting facility in a remote Enewetak Island setting.
AN - 71923814; 12132723
AB - The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has recently implemented a series of strategic initiatives to address long-term radiological surveillance needs at former U.S. test sites in the Marshall Islands. The plan is to engage local atoll communities in developing shared responsibilities for implementing radiation protection programs for resettled and resettling populations. As part of this new initiative, DOE agreed to design and construct a radiological laboratory on Enewetak Island, and help develop the necessary local resources to maintain and operate the facility. This cooperative effort was formalized in August 2000 between the DOE, the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), and the Enewetak/Ujelang Local Atoll Government (EULGOV). The laboratory facility was completed in May 2001. The laboratory incorporates both a permanent whole body counting system to assess internal exposures to 137Cs, and clean living space for people providing 24-h void urine samples. DOE continues to provide on-going technical assistance, training, and data quality review while EULGOV provides manpower and infrastructure development to sustain facility operations on a full-time basis. This paper will detail the special construction, transportation and installation issues in establishing a whole body counting facility in an isolated, harsh environmental setting.

T1 - Sedimentation rates and pollution history of a dried lake: Al-Oteibeh Lake
AN - 16138760; 5421509
AB - Sediment accumulation rates as well as the distribution of selected elements in a dried Syrian lake (Al-Oteibeh Lake), near Damascus City, are reported. Five core samples from different locations of the lake were collected, and four major elements (Fe, K, Mg and Na) and six trace metals (Co, Ni, Cr, Pb, Zn, U and Cu) were analyzed. Sedimentation rates were determined applying the super(210)Pb dating method and found to vary between 0.100 and 0.793 cm year super(-1). The results showed that the constant flux constant sedimentation rate (CF: CS) simple dating model is applicable for dating recent dried sediment and recording the past historical pollution of the last 100 years. However, the method was found to be only applicable for dating trace and major elements, which cannot be leached to deeper layers by rainwater. In addition, the obtained records can be used to verify the date of water level declining.

T1 - Exposure to subcutaneously implanted uranium dioxide impairs bone formation.
AN - 72820326; 12530598
AB - The introduction of uranium particles into subcutaneous tissue is a risk that affects workers engaged in the extraction, purification, and manufacture of uranium, as well as soldiers who are wounded with uranium shrapnel. The authors evaluated the effect of an internal source of an insoluble form of uranium on bone. Uranium dioxide powder (0.125 gm/kg body weight) was implanted subcutaneously in rats. After 30 days, animals exposed to uranium weighed less than controls. Bone formation activity in endochondral ossification and bone growth were also lower in the experimental animals, as evidenced by histomorphometric and morphometric methods. This is the first study to report bone damage resulting from continuous, nonlethal exposure to an insoluble compound of uranium dioxide over a period of 30 days.

T1 - Variation in exposure levels for high hazard frequently monitored agents.
AN - 72772162; 12486775
AB - Assumptions about the underlying distribution of occupational exposures are important to the practice of industrial hygiene. They affect decisions on exposure monitoring strategies, the interpretation of monitoring results, and the degree of protection provided by occupational exposure limits and action levels. However, there is little published data validating these assumptions. Strict exposure limits for three highly hazardous agents, asbestos, beryllium, and ionizing radiation, led to frequent monitoring of occupational exposure levels. Consequently, sets of hundreds to thousands of exposure measurements are available for analysis. Statistical analysis of these data sets indicates that within-worker variation, as measured by geometric standard deviation (GSD), tend to be higher than is generally assumed for occupational exposures. The success of health protection programs in identifying and controlling predictable sources of exposure through frequent monitoring is offered as a possible explanation for the relatively high variation observed in these data sets. Despite the high exposure variation, arithmetic mean levels and the percentage of measurements exceeding exposure limits were low, indicating that a large GSD does not imply that working conditions are unacceptable. However, more frequent monitoring is required to assure exposures are acceptable. This article also presents an adaptation of graphical methods, using probability plotting and linear regression, to estimate the distribution parameters of a data set that contains a high percentage of nondetected results.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3, LANCASTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA (TENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36411696; 9384
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses of Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, for an additional 20 years is proposed in this tenth supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (formerly Philadelphia Electric Company), 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 the units is addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is August 8, 2013, for Unit 2 and July 2, 2014, for Unit 3. The power station is located on a 620-acre site in southern Pennsylvania on the banks of the Susquehanna River, approximately 19 miles south of Lancaster. The site includes an exclusion area with a radius of 0.51 mile around the plant. The plant has two General Electric light-water reactors, each with a design rating for a new power output of 1,093 megawatts electric. Plant cooling is provided by an once-through heat dissipation system that dissipates heat to the environment. Units 2 and 3 produce electricity to supply the needs of approximately 35 percent of Exelon's 1.5 million business and residential customers in its mid-Atlantic service areas. The units employ 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 one 500-kilovolt transmission line extending 34 miles from the Peachbottom south substation eastward through Maryland and Delaware to the Keeney substation in northwestern Delaware. 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. 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: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw 1.5 million gallons of process water from the Susquehanna River via the Conowingo Pond and deliver makeup water to the pond. Release of water to the lake from the once-through systems would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the waterbody. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

T1 - Energy Design Guidelines for High Performance Schools: Hot and Humid Climates.
AN - 62201822; ED467390
AB - The U.S. Department of Energy's EnergySmart Schools provides school boards, administrators, and design staff with guidance to help them make informed decisions about energy and environmental issues important to school systems and communities. The design guidelines presented in this document outline high performance principles for the new or retrofit design of K-12 schools. The document presents recommended design elements in 10 sections, each representing a key interrelated component of high performance school design: (1) site design; (2) daylighting and windows; (3) energy-efficient building shell; (4) lighting and electrical systems; (5) mechanical and ventilation systems; (6) renewable energy systems; (7) water conservation; (8) recycling systems and waste management; (9) transporation; and (10) resource efficient building products.To effectively integrate energy-saving strategies, these options must be evaluatedtogether from a whole-building perspective early in the design process. A "highperformance checklist" for designers is located at the end of the document. Thechecklist is a quick reference for key architectural and engineering considerations.Case studies can also be found at the end of the document. These guidelines contain recommendations generally appropriate for hot and humid climates, for which Orlando, Florida, served as a model city. Other guidelines have been developed for the other climate zones. (Contains a list of numerous Web resources.) (EV)

T1 - Remote, slimhole arctic testing and exploration
AN - 52078260; 2002-062502
AB - Traditionally, oil and gas field technology development in Alaska has focused on the high-cost, high-productivity oil and gas fields of the North Slope and Cook Inlet, with little or no attention given to the shallow, low-cost drilling and testing of economically more marginal unconventional gas reservoirs. Existing drilling and completion technology infrastructure combined with the. typical remoteness and environmental sensitivity of many of Alaska's unconventional gas plays, renders the cost of exploring for and producing unconventional gas in Alaska can be prohibitive. To address these operational challenges and promote the development of Alaska's large unconventional gas resource base, new low-cost methods of obtaining critical reservoir parameters prior to drilling and completing more costly production wells are required. Encouragingly, low-cost coring, logging, and in-situ testing technologies have already been developed by the hard rock mining industry in Alaska and worldwide, where an extensive service industry employs highly portable mining rigs. Under a Department of Energy, National Petroleum Technology Office (DOE-NPTO) project, a team comprised of the Northwestern Alaska Native Association Corporation (NANA), Cominco Alaska and Advanced Resources International, Inc. have been able to adapt some of these mineral investigative techniques for use in the exploration of unconventional gas in rural Alaska. These techniques have included the use of small diameter coring for source rock recovery and gas desorption measurement testing as well as wireline geophysical logging and pressure transient testing in these same slimholes.

T1 - Computational modeling of flow and sediment transport and deposition in meandering rivers
AN - 52045427; 2002-081316
AB - A computational modeling analysis of the flow and sediment transport, and deposition in meandering-river models was performed. The Reynolds stress transport model of the FLUENT (super TM) code was used for evaluating the river flow characteristics, including the mean velocity field and the Reynolds stress components. The simulation results were compared with the available experimental data of the river model and discussed. The Lagrangian tracking of individual particles was performed, and the transport and deposition of particles of various sizes in the meandering river were analyzed. Particular attention was given to the sedimentation patterns of different size particles in the river-bend model. The flow patterns in a physical river were also studied. A Froude number based scale ratio of 1:100 was used, and the flow patterns in the physical and river models are compared. The result shows that the mean-flow quantities exhibit dynamic similarity, but the turbulence parameters of the physical river are different from the model. More strikingly, the particle sedimentation features in the physical and river models do not obey the expected similarity scaling.

T1 - Post-closure monitoring report for corrective action unit 329; Area 22 desert rock airstrip fuel spill, Nevada Test Site, Nevada
AN - 51911842; 2004-001589
AB - There was an increase in total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) concentrations at all three depths within Borehole DRA-0. The oxygen concentration at 40 ft below ground surface (bgs) decreased. There was also an increase in carbon dioxide concentration at that depth. The decrease in oxygen concentrations and the increase in carbon dioxide concentration at the 40 ft bgs level could be possible indicators of natural attenuation. It is not possible to determine trends or biodegradation rates with the limited amount of data collected from the site. The sample results from this first monitoring period did not correlate with the baseline results collected in August 2000. Additional samples will be collected and the results will be compared to previously collected samples to determine if the site was at equilibrium in August 2000. Continued annual monitoring will be conducted as specified in the Closure Report to determine trends at the site. As natural attenuation occurs, the TPH concentrations should decrease. The TPH concentrations will be compared over successive monitoring events to determine trends and approximate rates. As natural attenuation occurs, oxygen will be consumed and carbon dioxide will be produced. The oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide concentrations will also be evaluated to determine if biodegradation is indicated. When all available oxygen has been consumed, methane-producing bacteria may continue the natural attenuation process so methane levels will be monitored as an additional possible indicator of natural attenuation. The rate of decrease will be determined on the microbial populations, contaminant concentrations, available nutrients, and other environmental factors. Samples were collected and submitted for microbial analysis during closure activities. The results indicated that the microbial populations and nutrients were adequate for limited bioremediation (DOE/NV, 2000). Additional sampling for microbial analysis are not planned. The site is currently inactive and the source of additional contamination was removed. It was determined during closure activities that the wetting front has stabilized. Monitoring of Borehole DRA-3 has not shown any indications of contamination. Contamination migration to the water table is not expected based on current site conditions.

T1 - The Ability of Barley Powdery Mildew to Grow in vitro
AN - 18420739; 5406110
AB - A technique was developed for the in vitro culture of Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei, an obligate biotrophic pathogen of barley. Optimal growth occurred at pH 5.6 on a medium containing 39/gl potato dextrose agar, 40/gl shredded fresh barley leaves, 20/gl sucrose, 13/mgl kanamycin and 80/mgl benzimidazole. At 20 degree C (90% relative humidity), conidia germinated 48 h after inoculation, producing an average colony diameter of 1 cm after 10 days. However, numerous colonies were present on the medium after 15 days. Light microscopy showed that there was a positive relationship between the amount of leaf in the medium and fungus growth. The fungus retained its virulence during 60 days of storage in vitro, and was able to infect barley. This is a useful and novel technique that could be beneficial in barley pathology breeding programs.

T1 - Sequential Extraction Versus Comprehensive Characterization of Heavy Metal Species in Brownfield Soils
AN - 16145230; 5491144
AB - The applicability of sequential extraction as a means to determine species of heavy-metals was examined by a study on soil samples from two Superfund sites: the National Lead Company site in Pedricktown, NJ, and the Roebling Steel, Inc., site in Florence, NJ. Data from a standard sequential extraction procedure were compared to those from a comprehensive study that combined optical- and scanning-electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and chemical analyses. The study shows that larger particles of contaminants, encapsulated contaminants, and/or man-made materials such as slags, coke, metals, and plastics are subject to incasement, non-selectivity, and redistribution in the sequential extraction process. The results indicate that standard sequential extraction procedures that were developed for characterizing species of contaminants in river sediments may be unsuitable for stand-alone determinative evaluations of contaminant species in industrial-site materials. However, if employed as part of a comprehensive, site-specific characterization study, sequential extraction could be a very useful tool.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, MECKLENBURG COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (EIGHTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36419382; 9320
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, for an additional 20 years is proposed in this eighth supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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, Duke Energy Corporation, 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 draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the licenses are 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 licenses are not renewed, the units 1 and 2 would be shut down on or before expiration dates of the current licenses, which are June 12, 2021, and March 3, 2023, respectively. The units are located on a 577-acre site in southwestern North Carolina. An exclusion area with a radius of 0.47 mile and which covers 450.5 acres surrounds the site. The Catawba Riverand to the north by Lake Norman bound the McGuire site to the west. Each unit under consideration is a pressurized light-water reactor with four steam generators. Each unit is designed to operate at core power levels of up to 3,411 megawatts thermal, with a corresponding net electrical output of 1,129 megawatts. The units use water from Lake Norman for main condenser cooling and process water. McGuire uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems; nonradioactive wastes are disposed of in an onsite landfill or in one of several offsite landfills operated by the county. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant 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 McGuire 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: Operation of the units would continue to remove water from Lake Norman and return makeup water to the lake. The Release of water to the lake from the once-through system, results in a thermal plume, 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 units 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. Refusal to renew the licenses and subsequent decommissioning of the units could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATIONS, 1 AND 2, SOUTH CAROLINA (NINTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36411062; 9314
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for the Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, located in York County, South Carolina for an additional 20 years is proposed in this ninth supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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 (Duke Energy Corporation) nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 is 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. In addition to the No Action Alternative, alternatives to license renewal addressed in this supplement include coal-fired generation, gas-fired generation, imported electrical power, and other, less traditional means of power generation. If the operating license is not renewed, the units 1 and 2 would be shut down on or before the expiration dates of the current licenses, which are December 6, 2024 and February 24, 2026, respectively. The site lies on 391 acres of land in rural north-central South Carolina. Catawba consists of two pressurized light-water reactors with four reactor coolant loops, each of which contains a steam generator. Each unit is designed to operate at core power levels of up to 3,411 megawatts-thermal, with a corresponding net electrical output of approximately 1,129 megawatts of electrical power. Catawba uses water from Lake Wylie for cooling and processing water. The power station uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems. Power generated by the station's units are delivered to the regional power grid by five 230-kV transmission lines, with rights-of-way covering a total of 730 acres. The rights-of-way extend out from Catawba to the north, south, and west. 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: Operation of units would continue to remove 102 million gallons per day (mgd) of water from Lake Wylie and return 60.7 mgd of makeup water to the lake. Release of water to the river from the cooling system results in a thermal plume, 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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).

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: NORTH ANNA POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, LOUISA COUNTY, VIRGINIA (SEVENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36437186; 9297
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for the North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2, Louisa County, Virginia for an additional 20 years is proposed in this seventh supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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 Virginia Electric and Power Company) nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 North Anna units in this draft supplement. If the license is 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. In addition to the No Action Alternative, alternatives to license renewal addressed in this supplement include coal-fired generation, gas-fired generation, imported electrical power, and other, less traditional means of power generation. If the operating license is not renewed, North Anna, Units 1 and 2, would be shut down on or before the expiration dates of the current licenses, which are April 1, 2018 and June August 21, 2020, respectively. Each unit, which is rated for a net electrical output of 2,775 MW-thermal, consists of three-coolant-loop pressurized light-water reactor nuclear steam supply and steam-driven turbine generator designed and manufactured by Westinghouse. Makeup water for the once-through cooling systems is withdrawn from Lake Anna, a 9,600-acre reservoir created in 1971 by erecting a dam on the main stem of the North Anna River. The reservoir also provides recreational opportunities and flood control benefits. The power station uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems. Three 500-kilovolt transmission lines and one 230-kilovolt transmission line, each of which occupies a separate right-of-way ranging from 15 to 41 miles in length, connect the station to the regional power grid. 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 as well as providing recreational and flood control benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of units would continue to remove significant quantities of water from the North Anna Reservoir and return makeup water to the impoundment. Release of water to the impoundment from the cooling system results in a thermal plume, 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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).

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: NORTH ANNA POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, LOUISA COUNTY, VIRGINIA (SEVENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 1 of 1]
T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: NORTH ANNA POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, LOUISA COUNTY, VIRGINIA (SEVENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36387636; 9297-020181_0001
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for the North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2, Louisa County, Virginia for an additional 20 years is proposed in this seventh supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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 Virginia Electric and Power Company) nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified 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 North Anna units in this draft supplement. If the license is 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. In addition to the No Action Alternative, alternatives to license renewal addressed in this supplement include coal-fired generation, gas-fired generation, imported electrical power, and other, less traditional means of power generation. If the operating license is not renewed, North Anna, Units 1 and 2, would be shut down on or before the expiration dates of the current licenses, which are April 1, 2018 and June August 21, 2020, respectively. Each unit, which is rated for a net electrical output of 2,775 MW-thermal, consists of three-coolant-loop pressurized light-water reactor nuclear steam supply and steam-driven turbine generator designed and manufactured by Westinghouse. Makeup water for the once-through cooling systems is withdrawn from Lake Anna, a 9,600-acre reservoir created in 1971 by erecting a dam on the main stem of the North Anna River. The reservoir also provides recreational opportunities and flood control benefits. The power station uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems. Three 500-kilovolt transmission lines and one 230-kilovolt transmission line, each of which occupies a separate right-of-way ranging from 15 to 41 miles in length, connect the station to the regional power grid. 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 as well as providing recreational and flood control benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of units would continue to remove significant quantities of water from the North Anna Reservoir and return makeup water to the impoundment. Release of water to the impoundment from the cooling system results in a thermal plume, 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

T1 - Effects of high-rate electrical stimulation upon firing in modelled and real neurons
AN - 754567293; 13407467
AB - Many medical devices use high-rate, low-amplitude currents to affect neural function. This study examined the effect of stimulation rate upon action potential threshold and sustained firing rate for two model neurons, the rabbit myelinated fibre and the unmyelinated leech touch sensory cell. These model neurons were constructed with the NEURON simulator from electrophysiological data. Alternating-phase current pulses (0-1250 Hz), of fixed phase duration (0.2 ms), were used to stimulate the neurons, and propagation success or failure was measured. One effect of the high pulse rates was to cause a net depolarisation, and this was verified by the relief of action potential conduction block by 500 Hz extracellular stimulation in leech neurons. The models also predicted that the neurons would maintain maximum sustained firing at a number of different stimulation rates. For example, at twice threshold, the myelinated model followed the stimulus up to 500 Hz stimulation, half the stimulus rate up to 850 Hz stimulation, and it did not fire at 1250 Hz stimulation. By contrast, the unmyelinated neuron model had a lower maximum firing rate of 190 Hz, and this rate was obtained at a number of stimulation rates, up to 1250 Hz. The myelinated model also predicted sustained firing with 1240 Hz stimulation at threshold corrent, but no firing when the current level was doubled. Most of these effects are explained by the interaction of stimulus pulses with the cell's refractory period.

T1 - Worldwide dispersion and deposition of radionuclides produced in atmospheric tests.
AN - 71674620; 12003015
AB - Radionuclides produced in atmospheric nuclear tests were widely dispersed in the global environment. From the many measurements of the concentrations in air and the deposition amounts, much was learned of atmospheric circulation and environmental processes. Based on these results and the reported fission and total yields of individual tests, it has been possible to devise an empirical model of the movement and residence times of particles in the various atmospheric regions. This model, applied to all atmospheric weapons tests, allows extensive calculations of air concentrations and deposition amounts for the entire range of radionuclides produced throughout the testing period. Especially for the shorter-lived fission radionuclides, for which measurement results at the time of the tests are less extensive, a more complete picture of levels and isotope ratios can be obtained, forming a basis for improved dose estimations. The contributions to worldwide fallout can be inferred from individual tests, from tests at specific sites, or by specific countries. Progress was also made in understanding the global hydrological and carbon cycles from the tritium and 14C measurements. A review of the global measurements and modeling results is presented in this paper. In the future, if injections of materials into the atmosphere occur, their anticipated motions and fates can be predicted from the knowledge gained from the fallout experience.

T1 - Historical overview of atmospheric nuclear weapons testing and estimates of fallout in the continental United States.
AN - 71671871; 12003011
AB - From 1945 to 1980, over 500 weapons tests were conducted in the atmosphere at a number of locations around the world. These tests resulted in the release of substantial quantities of radioactive debris to the environment. Local, intermediate, and global fallout deposition densities downwind from test sites depended on the heights of bursts, the yields, and the half-lives and volatilities of the particular fission or activation products, as well as on the meteorological conditions. A number of national and international monitoring programs were established to trace the fallout through the atmosphere and biosphere. These programs included continuous monitoring of ground-level air, exposure rates, and deposition as well as periodic sampling of food, bone, water, soil, and stratospheric air. Although data for specific high-yield tests are still classified, the fission and fusion yields of the various tests and test series have been estimated and from this information the quantities of specific fission and activation products released into the atmosphere have been determined. The geographic and temporal variations in the fallout deposition of specific radionuclides based on both actual measurements and model calculations are discussed in this paper. A feasibility study to estimate the deposition density (deposition per unit area) of particular radionuclides from both Nevada Test Site and "global" fallout on a county-by-county scale for the continental United States is described. These deposition estimates provide a basis for reconstructing population exposure and dose. They support the feasibility of a more detailed evaluation of the population doses that resulted from fallout from atmospheric tests to document the experience fully and to report results more systematically and completely to the world community. The impact of weapons fallout will continue to be felt for years to come since a contaminant baseline has been imposed on the ambient radiation environment that will be an important factor in the assessment of past and future releases of radioactive materials into the biosphere.

T1 - Corrective action investigation plan for corrective action unit; 5, Landfills, Nevada Test Site, Nevada
AN - 51911768; 2004-001570
AB - This Corrective Action Investigation Plan contains the U.S. Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration Nevada Operations Office's approach to collect the data necessary to evaluate corrective action alternatives appropriate for the closure of Corrective Action Unit (CAU) 5 under the Federal Facility Agreement and Consent Order. Corrective Action Unit 5 consists of eight Corrective Action Sites (CASs): 05-15-01, Sanitary Landfill; 05-16-01, Landfill; 06-08-01, Landfill; 06-15-02, Sanitary Landfill; 06-15-03, Sanitary Landfill; 12-15-01, Sanitary Landfill; 20-15-01, Landfill; 23-15-03, Disposal Site. Located between Areas 5, 6, 12, 20, and 23 of the Nevada Test Site (NTS), CAU 5 consists of unlined landfills used in support of disposal operations between 1952 and 1992. Large volumes of solid waste were produced from the projects which used the CAU 5 landfills. Waste disposed in these landfills may be present without appropriate controls (i.e., use restrictions, adequate cover) and hazardous and/or radioactive constituents may be present at concentrations and locations that could potentially pose a threat to human health and/or the environment. During the 1992 to 1995 time frame, the NTS was used for various research and development projects including nuclear weapons testing. Instead of managing solid waste at one or two disposal sites, the practice on the NTS was to dispose of solid waste in the vicinity of the project. A review of historical documentation, process knowledge, personal interviews, and inferred activities associated with this CAU identified the following as potential contaminants of concern: volatile organic compounds, semivolatile organic compounds, polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides, petroleum hydrocarbons (diesel- and gasoline-range organics), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Metals, plus nickel and zinc. A two-phase approach has been selected to collect information and generate data to satisfy needed resolution criteria and resolve the decision statements. Phase I will concentrate on geophysical surveys to confirm the presence or absence of disposed waste within a CAS and verify the boundaries of disposal areas; penetrate disposal feature covers via excavation and/or drilling; perform geodetic surveys; and be used to collect both soil and environmental samples for laboratory analyses. Phase II will deal only with those CASs where a contaminant of concern has been identified. This phase will involve the collection of additional soil and/or environmental samples for laboratory analyses. The results of this field investigation will support a defensible evaluation of corrective action alternatives in the corrective action decision document.

T1 - Safety culture: a survey of the state-of-the-art
AN - 18463430; 5438442
AB - This paper discusses the evolution of the term 'safety culture' and the perceived relationship between safety culture and safety of operations in nuclear power generation and other hazardous technologies. There is a widespread belief that safety culture is an important contributor to safety of operations. Empirical evidence that safety culture and other management and organizational factors influence operational safety is more readily available for the chemical process industry than for nuclear power plant operations. The commonly accepted attributes of safety culture include good organizational communications, good organizational learning, and senior management commitment to safety. Safety culture may be particularly important in reducing latent errors in complex, well-defended systems. The role of regulatory bodies in fostering strong safety cultures remains unclear, and additional work is required to define the essential attributes of safety culture and to identify reliable performance indicators.

T1 - Removal of As, Mn, Mo, Se, U, V and Zn from groundwater by zero-valent iron in a passive treatment cell: reaction progress modeling
AN - 16136614; 5396294
AB - Three treatment cells were operated at a site near Durango, CO. One treatment cell operated for more than 3 years. The treatment cells were used for passive removal of contamination from groundwater at a uranium mill tailings repository site. Zero-valent iron [Fe(0)] that had been powdered, bound with aluminosilicate and molded into plates was used as a reactive material in one treatment cell. The others used granular Fe(0) and steel wool. The treatment cells significantly reduced concentrations of As, Mn, Mo, Se, U, V and Zn in groundwater that flowed through it. Zero-valent iron [Fe(0)], magnetite (Fe sub(3)O sub(4)), calcite (CaCO sub(3)), goethite (FeOOH) and mixtures of contaminant-bearing phases were identified in the solid fraction of one treatment cell. A reaction progress approach was used to model chemical evolution of water chemistry as it reacted with the Fe(0). Precipitation of calcite, ferrous hydroxide [Fe(OH) sub(2)] and ferrous sulfide (FeS) were used to simulate observed changes in major-ion aqueous chemistry. The amount of reaction progress differed for each treatment cell. Changes in contaminant concentrations were consistent with precipitation of reduced oxides (UO sub(2), V sub(2)O sub(3)), sulfides (As sub(2)S sub(3), ZnS), iron minerals (FeSe sub(2), FeMoO sub(4)) and carbonate (MnCO sub(3)). Formation of a free gas phase and precipitation of minerals contributed to loss of hydraulic conductivity in one treatment cell.

T1 - MIND THE FLO WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE
AN - 419305627
AB - Found in the Santa Fe greenhouses of High Country Gardens, 'Just Peachy' is a kaleidoscope of pinks and peaches that catch the eye of hummingbirds as well as people. A perennial herb with aromatic foliage, agastache blooms prolifically most of the summer if given regular water. The nectar-rich flowers spring from long, graceful spikes and blend well in herb gardens or borders. The colors of 'Just Peachy' combine nicely with blue.
On four days -- April 27, June 16, July 21 and Aug. 4 -- the conservancy will invite visitors into some of Oregon's loveliest private gardens. The April 27 tour starts at Richard Cavender's garden in Sherwood, an acre that reflects his collector's sensibility with more than 400 species and hybrid rhododendrons and azaleas. It continues at Bella Madrona, the six-acre oasis created by Geoffrey Beasley in Aurora, and ends at landscape architect Wallace Huntington's pastoral paradise in Sherwood.
Open: Richard Cavender garden, Sherwood; Goeffrey Beasley garden, Aurora; Wallace Huntington garden, Sherwood, plus two public gardens.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: SURRY POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, SURRY COUNTY, VIRGINIA (SIXTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36412465; 9268
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Surry Power Station, units 1 and 2 in Surry County, Virginia for an additional 20 years is proposed in this third supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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. The applicant, Virginia Electric and Power Company, 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 the units is addressed in this draft supplement. 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 is 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 is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is May 25, 2012 for Unit 1 and January 29, 2013 for Unit 2. The power station is located on an 840-acre site on the Gravel Neck Peninsula on the south side of the James River, approximately 25 miles upstream of the point where the river enters the Chesapeake Bay. The site includes an exclusion area with a radius. Each unit consists of a pressurized light-water reactor and three steam-driven turbine generators manufactured by Westinghouse. Each unit was designed for an output of 2,441 megawatts-thermal, with a corresponding gross electrical output of 822.6 megawatts-electric. Units 1 and 2 went into commercial operation in December 1972 and May 1973, respectively. In 1995, both units were up-rated to a core power output of 2,546 megawatts-thermal, with a calculated gross output of 855.4 megawatts-electric. Average net capacity of 1,602 megawatts-electric for the plant. The units' condensers utilize once-through cooling systems that withdraw brackish water from the James River estuary, pump water through unit condensers, and return heated water to the estuary at a point approximately six miles upriver from the withdrawal point. The units employ 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 nine transmission lines running with two corridors, extending a total of 170 miles, requiring approximately 5,000 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. 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: Operation of the units would continue to remove water from the James River and, via 10 wells, from the Potomac aquifer, and deliver makeup water to the James River. Release of water to the river from the once-through systems would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the estuary. 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. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on promulgation of rules for license renewals, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5 and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

T1 - Hydrogen production by the thermophilic bacterium Thermotoga neapolitana
AN - 815537923; 13857881
AB - Virtually all members of the order Thermotogales have demonstrated the ability to produce hydrogen; however, some members of this order produce considerably greater quantities than others. With one representative of this order, Thermotoga neapolitana, we have consistently obtained accumulation of 25-30% hydrogen with 12-15% carbon dioxide as the only other prominent product in the batch reaction. In contradistinction to information widely disseminated in the literature, we have also found that most members of this order tolerate and appear to utilize the moderate amounts of oxygen present in the gaseous phase of batch reactors (6-12%), with no apparent decrease in hydrogen production. Hydrogen accumulation has been widely reported to inhibit growth of Thermotogales. While this may be true at very high hydrogen tensions, we have observed log phase bacterial morphology (rods) even in the presence of 25-35% hydrogen concentrations. To maximize hydrogen production and minimize production of hydrogen sulfide, inorganic sulfur donors are avoided and the cysteine concentration in the medium is increased. We and others have demonstrated that different members of the order Thermotogales utilize a wide variety of feedstocks, including complex carbohydrates and proteins. Thus, it appears that organisms within this order have the potential to utilize a variety of organic wastes and to cost-effectively generate hydrogen.

T1 - Feasibility of CO (sub 2) sequestration in deep saline reservoirs in the Midwestern USA
AN - 51851784; 2004-037685
AB - An evaluation of hydrogeologic, geochemical, engineering, monitoring, and cost issues related to CO (sub 2) sequestration in saline reservoirs is underway at Battelle with U.S. Department of Energy funding. The Mt. Simon Sandstone, a regionally extensive saline reservoir in the Midwest, is being evaluated as a potential host reservoir. The regional-scale sequestration capacity estimates based on formation thickness, depth, porosity, sand to shale ratio, and sweep efficiency show that the potential CO (sub 2) storage capacity in the Mt. Simon Sandstone is sufficient for several decades of CO (sub 2) emissions from the power plants in the region. These regional estimates however, do not account for local uncertainties in parameters such as thickness, depth, porosity, permeability, injection pressure, and seismic features that may have a greater influence on site-selection decisions and sequestration cost. Local-scale hydrogeologic constraints on CO (sub 2) disposal were evaluated using the University of Texas Compositional Simulator (UTCOMP) and data from active subsurface waste disposal facilities. The UTCOMP code was modified to account for environmental aspects of CO (sub 2) sequestration such as solubility, dispersion, diffusion, and calculation of CO (sub 2) mass balance. The radial model simulations conducted for several locations show that the variations in formation thickness and permeability in the region have a significant impact on injectivity of CO (sub 2) and thus the feasibility of sequestration in the reservoir. The simulations also calculate the mass of CO (sub 2) dissolved in the brine over time. The dissolved CO (sub 2) becomes available for geochemical reactions and possible permanent sequestration in solid phase. A large number of laboratory experiments were conducted at high pressure to evaluate the potential geochemical reactions. These experiments and the geochemical simulations showed that in general the CO (sub 2) injection is compatible with formation brines and minerals and that there are no potential adverse reactions between these media. The project also included a preliminary assessment of the potential for induced seismicity due to deep well injection of CO (sub 2) . In addition, an engineering and economic assessment to determine the costs associated with CO (sub 2) capture, transport, injection, and monitoring was conducted.

T1 - An assessment of the potential of North American brine aquifers to sequester anthropogenic CO (sub 2) through carbonate mineral formation
AN - 51699381; 2005-050502
AB - CO (sub 2) sequestration can involve injection into underground formations such as deep saline aquifers, with permanent sequestration resulting through the in situ formation of carbon bearing minerals i.e., mineral trapping. Other geologic mechanisms include hydrodynamic and solubility trapping. Sequestration in saline aquifers is appealing because brines contain high concentrations of Group I and II metals, and the formation of metal carbonates from reactions between brine and CO (sub 2) is possible. However, limited experimental and simulation data are available to determine optimal reaction conditions for carbonate mineralization. For this evaluation, a brine database tabulated by the Texas Bureau of Economic Geology under a DOE contract was analyzed. These data are from 250 wells from 21 formations in the United States. NETL has added an additional 700 wells to the database. Data were compiled and sorted for variables most common among the formations, including Na (super +) , Cl (super -) , Ca (super ++) , Mg (super ++) , SO (sub 4) (super =) , HCO (sub 3) (super -) , Fe (super ++) , pH, temperature and depth. Because reservoir pressures were not denoted for the wells, hydrostatic pressures were estimated for the wells. Statistical methods used to test relationships between the brine variables and the formations included a variety of regression models. Both intraformational and interformational well chemistries were significantly different. However, predictive relationships emerged between pressure, temperature and many of the chemical variables on an intraformational basis. Statistical associations found from this study will provide insight for future field collection of brines, experimental and simulation evaluations, and of the potential of CO (sub 2) sequestration in deep saline aquifers.

T1 - The future of petroleum R� DOE's viewpoint
AN - 51694982; 2005-052407
AB - Energy research and development in general and petroleum R&D specifically have endured a long downturn in industry support. Companies, faced with price volatility and stockholder demands, have cut investments in long term R&D to enhance profitability and survivability in the near term for a couple of decades. While a few companies are moving slowly back to a centrally managed R&D function, they are the exception. Thus, the Government share of R&D funding has grown, even with a static budget. With the announcement of the President's National Energy Plan (NEP) last spring and in the face of new technology challenges for more oil and gas production, the Department of Energy is developing its program implementation response to the NEP. Changing priorities dictate changes in program direction and new initiatives for DOE's oil and gas efforts. This paper will address the program designed to support the NEP.

T1 - Closing the uranium fuel cycle; deep geologic disposal at Yucca Mountain and WIPP
AN - 51691047; 2005-052414
AB - To close the nuclear fuel cycle and safely dispose of spent nuclear fuel and long-lived radioactive waste, the US Department of Energy (DOE) developed the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in southeastern New Mexico and is studying Yucca Mountain in southern Nevada as current or potential deep geologic repositories for nuclear waste WIPP was developed for disposal of Transuranic (TRU) waste, contaminated sludge and refuse from nuclear weapons production that contains alpha-emitting radionuclides with atomic numbers above 92 and half-lives greater than 20 years. Both mixed (radioactive plus hazardous) and unmixed TRU wastes will be disposed of in WIPP. Waste is packaged in drums and boxes and placed in rooms and tunnels excavated in Permian age bedded salt formations 650 meters below the land surface. The low viscosity salt beds will eventually flow into the unoccupied spaces surrounding the drums and boxes, permanently entombing the waste. Through characterizing the geology, hydrology and geochemistry of Yucca Mountain, an uplifted ridge of unsaturated Miocene age welded and non-welded silicic volcanic tuffs, DOE is determining its suitability as a potential repository for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste. The waste will be placed in robust bimetallic canisters in tunnels 300 meters below the crest, within welded tuff layers 300 meters above the water table. Studies to date indicate that the natural system plus supporting engineered barriers provide a safe environment to isolate waste. A potential repository at Yucca Mountain could receive waste in 2010.

T1 - Recent advances in carbon dioxide capture and separation techniques at the National Energy Technology Laboratory
AN - 51687709; 2005-057971
AB - The recent interest in global warming has created a flurry of research activity. One of the greenhouse gases causing concern is carbon dioxide due to its abundant formation from various processes. Specifically, large quantities of carbon dioxide emanate from power generation systems that utilize/combust fossil fuels. These point sources are likely targets for removal of carbon dioxide if regulation of carbon dioxide is deemed necessary in the future. Although the overall carbon dioxide sequestration scheme is important, the capture (and separation) of the carbon dioxide from the large-point source is a critical step with respect to the cost and technical feasibility of the overall sequestration process. Within the Carbon Sequestration Program of the Department of Energy, an in-house focus area at the National Energy Technology Laboratory has initiated research in this fledgling area. As related to power generation, capture and separation processes can be viewed as near-term and far-term, with the former dealing with conventional fossil fuel combustion, such as pulverized-coal combustion, and with the latter pertaining to advanced power systems, such as integrated gasification combined cycle. For the near-term capture processes, an evolutionary research project has addressed improvements in conventional amine scrubbing to remove carbon dioxide from flue gas. In the far-term research effort, novel dry-scrubbing techniques are being developed to remove carbon dioxide from the fuel gas or flue gas from advanced power/energy conversion systems. Chemical absorption, physical adsorption, and electrochemistry are fundamental methods used in the separation step. An overview of the various novel techniques will be given along with overall technical performance and cost implications.

T1 - Virulence spectrum to barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in some isolates of Cochliobolus sativus from Syria
AN - 18405094; 5389308
AB - Isolates of Cochliobolus sativus (Ito and Kurib) Drechsl. ex Dast. [anamorph, Bipolaris sorokiniana (Sacc. in Sorok.)] that cause common root rot (CRR) symptoms on barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) were collected in 1998 and 1999 from fields in different regions of Syria. Their virulence spectra were determined using 11 barley cultivars. Cultivars exhibited a continuous range of response from very susceptible to moderately resistant but none was immune from the disease. A cluster analysis indicated that the isolates exhibited distinct differential virulence patterns with three groups. Mean disease rating of 4.37 was the separation point between avirulent and virulent reactions. Isolate CRR16 had the highest mean virulence with lowest variance across all cultivars; and thus it was proposed to be considered as a physiological race. To incorporate adequate levels of resistance into future barley cultivars, disease evaluations should be made with Cochliobolus sativus isolates that express the full spectrum of virulence found in Syria.

T1 - Sources and Composition of PM sub(2.5) at the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Pittsburgh during July and August 2000
AN - 17055771; 6684618
AB - PM sub(2.5) mass was measured daily with three batch samplers, a PM sub(2.5) R&P Partisol-Plus FRM, an Andersen RAAS, and a BYU PC-BOSS, and continuously with a TEOM monitor during July and August 2000. PM sub(2.5) composition was also determined. These data are part of an ongoing PM sub(2.5) characterization program centered around a sampling site at the National Energy Technology Laboratory Pittsburgh campus. The composition and concentrations of PM sub(2.5) were both highly variable during this time period. Likely sources of PM sub(2.5) during low concentration periods were transportation, coal-fired boiler, and other emissions generated in the local area. For these periods, the average concentration of PM sub(2.5) was 13 mu g/m super(3) and 70% of the PM sub(2.5) mass was carbonaceous material, including semivolatile organic material that was lost in varying degrees from both the TEOM and FRM samplers. In contrast, much higher concentrations of PM sub(2.5) were associated with transport of pollutants to the site. Analysis of meteorological and back-trajectory data suggests that these pollutants were emitted elsewhere during a period of high atmospheric pressure and were subsequently transported to the site with the passage of a frontal system. When the PM sub(2.5) collected at the site originated from the west or southwest, the concentrations averaged 31 mu g/m super(3) and ammonium sulfate averaged 54% of the PM sub(2.5) mass. Scanning election microscopy and trace element analyses are consistent with the association of high concentration PM sub(2.5) episodes with transport of coke and iron processing, coal-fired boiler, and other emissions from the Ohio River Valley region to the NETL site. Preliminary observations on the use of SEM and PIXE data in source apportionment at the NETL site are given.

T1 - Food contamination by metals and pesticides in the European Union. Should we worry?
AN - 71793982; 12052638
AB - The estimation of the risk associated with dietary intakes of heavy metals and pesticide residues by the consumer is a vital and integral part of regulatory processes. The exposure of the consumer is compared directly to the acceptable daily intake (ADI) for pesticides and to the tolerable daily intake (TDI) for heavy metals. The exposure is obtained using the basic equation: Exposure (mg/kg b.w./day)=Consumption (mg/kg b.w./day) x Residue (mg/kg). The establishment of the ADI and the TDI is based on the results of toxicological studies that involve the determination of the lowest-no-observed-adverse-effect level/10 (SF1) x10 (SF2), where SF corresponds to 'Safety Factor'. SF1 and SF2 account for interspecies and intraspecies variability, respectively. In order to evaluate the risk for the consumer, that is associated to the presence of heavy metals and pesticides in food, a review of the level of contamination in European countries has been made. The exposure of European consumers to lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury is superior to the TDI. For pesticides, the first step is to compare the detected amount of residues of a specific pesticide to the maximum residue level (MRL) authorized in foodstuffs. If the residue level in food exceeds the MRL, the theoretical maximum daily intakes and the ADI have to be taken into account in order to assess the risk for the consumer.

T1 - Is there a basin-centered gas accumulation in Cotton Valley Group sandstones, Gulf Coast Basin, U.S.A.?
AN - 52130266; 2002-024089
AB - The U. S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U. S. Department of Energy, is reevaluating the resource potential of selected basin-centered gas accumulations in the United States in order to accommodate changing geologic perceptions since completion of the USGS 1995 National Petroleum Assessment. In 1995 the USGS assessed one basin-centered gas play and three conventional plays within the trend of Jurassic and Cretaceous Cotton Valley Group fluvial-deltaic sandstones across the onshore northern Gulf of Mexico Basin. Evaluation of geologic and production data provides new insights into these Cotton Valley plays. Data favorable and unfavorable for the presence of continuous-type basin-centered gas accumulations are summarized.

T1 - Source Extraction Information from Air Quality Data Monitored in an Argentinean Steel Mill
AN - 20626755; 5355724
AB - A statistical analysis of a series of ambient air concentrations of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and NO sub(2) is presented. Measurements were taken at four sites that belong to an Argentinean steel mill and in another site located in its vicinity. The air pollutants were measured during a three-week exploratory sampling. The monitoring sites were selected on the basis of relevant characteristics of the emission sources and the corresponding climatological statistics of the last decade. Suspended particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter of less than 10 mu m (PM sub(10)) and NO sub(2) were continuously measured at only one site, while 1-hr samples of NO sub(2) and 24-hr samples of total SPM and SO sub(2) were collected at the other sites. The registered concentrations show that SPM was the pollutant of major concern. A first estimate about the nature of the contribution of the different sources of particles and NO sub(2) present in the area was obtained through the statistical analysis of measured concentration data coupled with prevalent meteorological variables.

T1 - Links between Cairo and Kyoto: Addressing Global Warming through Voluntary Family Planning
AN - 19932616; 5428560
AB - Over the past three decades, with a combination of new technology, rising female literacy rates, and strengthened family planning programs, the world has seen dramatic increases in the use of contraception, with corresponding declines in fertility and population growth rates. At the International Conference on Population and Development, Cairo in 1994, parties pledged a tripling of funding for reproductive health programs in developing countries. Many demographers believe that making such programs more widely available to women would extend the decline in birth rates and shift the world towards the low scenario of United Nations population projections over the next century and a half. By examining the costs and impacts of such programs, in view of the links between population and carbon emissions, this paper shows that extension of voluntary family planning could make a large and cost-effective contribution to the greenhouse gas limitation goals of the Kyoto Protocol that was negotiated in 1997.

T1 - Biaxial flex-fatigue and viral penetration of natural rubber latex gloves before and after artificial aging.
AN - 72667757; 12418018
AB - Barrier integrity of unaged and oven-aged (at 70 degrees C) natural rubber latex examination gloves was assessed with a biaxial flex-fatigue method where failure was detected electronically, and by live viral penetration testing performed according to a modified version of ASTM F1671-97a. When no change in barrier properties was detected during flex testing, no virus passage was found after viral challenge. Conversely, when a change in the barrier properties was indicated by the electrical signal, virus passage was found in 74% of the specimens. Flex-fatigue results indicated that unaged test specimens from powdered (PD) and powder-free (PF) nonchlorinated gloves had significantly longer fatigue lives than powder-free chlorinated (CL) gloves from the same manufacturer. Biaxial flexing of oven-aged glove specimens showed a marginal increase in fatigue life for the PF gloves, but no increase for the PD gloves. The fatigue life of the CL gloves was observed to increase significantly after oven aging. However, this appears to be due to a design feature of the test apparatus, wherein peak volume displacement of the worked specimen is held constant. An aging-induced change in the viscoelastic properties of the CL gloves-permanent deformation of the specimens early in the fatigue test-relieves the stress magnitude applied as the test progresses. Thus, permanent deformation acts as a confounding factor in measuring durability of latex gloves by fixed displacement flex-fatigue.

T1 - Assessment of gamma dose rate over a suspected uranium mineralisation area of Jebel Mun, Western Sudan.
AN - 72649351; 12408494
AB - This study was conducted at the request of authorities in western Darfour State, to address the public concern about the levels of radioactivity in the area of Jebel Mun situated at Sudan-Chad international boundaries. It has been identified as a high background radiation area through aerial geological surveys conducted in late 1970s. The ambient gamma dose in the area was measured with the aid of a hand-held dose rate meter (Mini-Rad, Series 1000) and the surface rock samples were collected and analysed for their radioactivity content using a high-resolution gamma spectrometry equipped with HPGe with relative efficiency of 18%. The activity concentrations of 238U, 232Th and 40K were found to range from 39-253 Bq.kg(-1), 41-527 Bq.kg(-1) and 77-3027 Bq.kg(-1), respectively. From the values of the standard deviation it was concluded that the activity concentration of the considered primordial radionuclides was highly scattered (localised) which in turn indicates non-uniformity in the geological features and/or formations. 238U activity concentration corresponds to equivalent mass concentration of 7.77+/-6.12 ppm (3.19-20.73 ppm), which is of no economic importance. Samples are enriched in thorium relative to uranium as reflected by the Th:U mass ratio which ranges from 3 to 17. The absorbed dose rate in air as estimated from the measured activity concentrations of the primordial radionuclides using the DRCFs (dose rate conversion factors) falls within the range of 70-522 nGy.h(-1) with an average of 221+/-130 nGy.h(-1). It corresponds to an annual effective dose equivalent averaged of 0.27 mSv. The regression analysis has shown that the correlation between calculated and the measured ambient dose rate is marginally significant (r2 = 0.59). The 232Th series is the major producer of the surface radioactivity followed by 40K as they contribute 48% and 32% of the total absorbed dose, respectively.

T1 - Measurement of the energy spectrum of cosmic-ray induced neutrons aboard an ER-2 high-altitude airplane.
AN - 71715203; 12033224
AB - Crews working on present-day jet aircraft are a large occupationally exposed group with a relatively high average effective dose from galactic cosmic radiation. Crews of future high-speed commercial aircraft flying at higher altitudes would be even more exposed. To help reduce the significant uncertainties in calculations of such exposures, the atmospheric ionizing radiation (AIR) project, an international collaboration of 15 laboratories, made simultaneous radiation measurements with 14 instruments on five flights of a NASA ER-2 high-altitude aircraft. The primary AIR instrument was a highly sensitive extended-energy multisphere neutron spectrometer with lead and steel shells placed within the moderators of two of its 14 detectors to enhance response at high energies. Detector responses were calculated for neutrons and charged hadrons at energies up to 100 GeV using MCNPX. Neutron spectra were unfolded from the measured count rates using the new MAXED code. We have measured the cosmic-ray neutron spectrum (thermal to >10 GeV), total neutron fluence rate, and neutron effective dose and dose equivalent rates and their dependence on altitude and geomagnetic cutoff. The measured cosmic-ray neutron spectra have almost no thermal neutrons, a large "evaporation" peak near 1 MeV and a second broad peak near 100 MeV which contributes about 69% of the neutron effective dose. At high altitude, geomagnetic latitude has very little effect on the shape of the spectrum, but it is the dominant variable affecting neutron fluence rate, which was eight times higher at the northernmost measurement location than it was at the southernmost. The shape of the spectrum varied only slightly with altitude from 21 km down to 12 km (56-201 g cm-2 atmospheric depth), but was significantly different on the ground. In all cases, ambient dose equivalent was greater than effective dose for cosmic-ray neutrons.

T1 - Study of natural radionuclide concentrations in an area of elevated radiation background in the northern districts of Bangladesh.
AN - 71561962; 11926374
AB - The activity concentrations of naturally occurring radioactive materials in soil samples from an elevated radiation background area of three northern districts of Bangladesh were determined using gamma ray spectrometry. The outdoor and indoor external effective dose rates and the radiation hazard indices from these soil activities were evaluated. The dose rates were found to be about four times higher than the reported world average value. The concentration of natural radionuclides, derived radium equivalent activities and the representative level indices were also found to be higher. Recommendations on radiological and dosimetric measures have been suggested with an aim of minimising the harmful effects of ionising radiation to the population of the area concerned.

T1 - Rapid, specific determination of iodine and iodide by combined solid-phase extraction/diffuse reflectance spectroscopy.
AN - 71402164; 11795790
AB - A new, rapid methodology for trace analysis using solid-phase extraction is described. The two-step methodology is based on the concentration of an analyte onto a membrane disk and on the determination by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy of the amount of analyte extracted on the disk surface. This method, which is adaptable to a wide range of analytes, has been used for monitoring ppm levels of iodine and iodide in spacecraft water. Iodine is used as a biocide in spacecraft water. For these determinations, a water sample is passed through a membrane disk by means of a 10-mL syringe that is attached to a disk holder assembly. The disk, which is a polystyrene-divinylbenzene composite, is impregnated with poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP), which exhaustively concentrates iodine as a yellow iodine-PVP complex. The amount of concentrated iodine is then determined in only 2 s by using a hand-held diffuse reflectance spectrometer by comparing the result with a calibration curve based on the Kubelka-Munk function. The same general procedure can be used to determine iodide levels after its facile and exhaustive oxidation to iodine by peroxymonosulfate (i.e., Oxone reagent). For samples containing both analytes, a two-step procedure can be used in which the iodide concentration is calculated from the difference in iodine levels before and after treatment of the sample with peroxymonosulfate. With this methodology, iodine and iodide levels in the 0.1-5.0 ppm range can be determined with a total workup time of approximately 60 s with a RSD of approximately 6%.

T1 - Holocene paleoflood hydrology of the Big Lost River, western Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, Idaho
AN - 52108110; 2002-042830
AB - Stratigraphic and geomorphic evidence along the Big Lost River at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) defines age and paleostage limits for a paleoflood approximately 400 yr ago with an estimated discharge of approximately 100 m (super 3) /s. The discharge for this paleoflood is approximately 40% larger than the flood of record from a gaging site near Arco where flow is regulated, but is smaller than 6 historical peak discharges from a gage in the unregulated upstream portion of the drainage basin. The paleoflood is the largest flood along the Big Lost River in the past approximately 400 yr and confirms that large downstream decreases in Big Lost River peak discharge predate historical stream diversion and regulation. Flow simulations indicate that discharges only slightly larger than approximately 110 m (super 3) /s will initiate extensive flow across the unmodified Pleistocene alluvial surfaces that flank the Big Lost River on the INEEL site. The geomorphology of these surfaces and two-dimensional flow simulations are the bases for establishing a paleohydrologic bound at a discharge of 150 m (super 3) /s for the past 10 k.y. When the paleoflood and paleohydrologic bound data are included in peak-discharge-frequency analyses, they provide strong constraints on peak discharge for annual probabilities from >10 (super -2) to 5X10 (super -5) . Sensitivity testing is used to assess the potential impacts of historical regulation of annual peak discharge and of alternative characterizations of the paleohydrologic information on discharge-frequency estimates. These tests demonstrate that for annual probabilities of 10 (super -2) and 10 (super -4) , the upper limits of peak discharge are unlikely to exceed approximately 110 m (super 3) /s and approximately 170 m (super 3) /s, respectively, as long as the long-duration paleohydrologic bounds are included in the analyses. In contrast, peak-discharge-frequency analyses using only annual peak-discharge discharge data result in estimates that range from approximately 105 m (super 3) /s to >170 m (super 3) /s for an annual probability of 10 (super -2) . Adding paleohydrologic information to discharge-frequency analyses reduces the possible range of discharge estimates over a wide range of annual probabilities.

T1 - The role of Na-montmorillonite in the evolution of copper, nickel, and vanadyl geoporphyrins during diagenesis
AN - 52058832; 2002-071318
AB - Sorption of a series of toluene-solvated porphyrins with differing structural characteristics and metallic centers [i.e. free-base, Cu(II), Ni(II) and VO(II)] onto Na-montmorillonite was measured to determine how this clay mineral might influence porphyrin pathways during diagenesis. In most instances, adsorption was adequately described by the Langmuir isotherm equation. The adsorption results were compared in two ways: (1) by the metallating ion, where predicted trends of the relative degree of adsorption are based on Buchler stability indices, and (2) by the structural type, where predicted trends of the relative degree of adsorption are based on the number and type of substituent groups and their corresponding steric and functional characteristics. The implications of macrocycle shape (planar, ruffle, and wave) are also discussed. In general, sorption affinity based on metallating ion followed the order: VO(II) nearly equal Ni(II) 0.05) were found between irradiated and non-irradiated samples in taste and flavour.

T1 - Space-time analysis of precipitation-weighted sulfate concentrations over the eastern US
AN - 18212842; 5285093
AB - This paper illustrates a simple technique of performing space-time analysis of precipitation-weighted SO super(2) sub(4) super(-) concentration data across the eastern US that were collected by the National atmospheric deposition program. Using a moving average filter and two-dimensional spatial data filtering algorithm on the time series of precipitation-weighted SO super(2) sub(4) super(-) concentrations, we show that decreases of about 50% have occurred in SO super(2) sub(4) super(-) concentrations in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and over the northeastern US between 1985 and 1998, generally consistent with SO sub(2) emissions' reductions over this period. The decreases in SO super(2) sub(4) super(-) concentrations tended to be smaller in the midwest and south.

T1 - Transportation Transitions What Can We Learn from the Ongoing Fuels Transition?
AN - 19707979; 7501707
AB - This paper draws attention to the ongoing and dramatic transition in transportation technologies for both vehicles and fuels by examining the ongoing transitions in conventional vehicles and fuels. Additionally, the paper tries to answer the following three posited questions. How will the ongoing fuels transition influence, limit, or accelerate other transportation transitions? What does the ongoing transition tell us about the opportunity to achieve successful, or even useful, niche markets in the U.S.? What does an examination of the factors behind this ongoing transition reveal about effective policy mechanisms needed to bring about a significant change?.

T1 - Enhancing regulatory effectiveness by improving the process for identifying and resolving generic issues
AN - 18129292; 5224084
AB - The Generic Issues Program first began formally in response to a Commission directive in October of 1976. In 1983, it became one of the first programs to make successful use of probabilistic risk information to aid in regulatory decision-making. In the 16 years since the program became quantitative, 836 issues have been processed. Of these, 106 reactor safety issues were prioritized as requiring further evaluation to determine the final resolution. Approximately a dozen generic issues remain unresolved. Although there is far less reactor licensing activity than in the 1970s, new issues continue to be identified from research and operational experience. These issues often involve complex and controversial questions of safety and regulation, and an efficient and effective means of addressing these issues is essential for regulatory effectiveness. Issues that involve a significant safety question require swift, effective, enforceable, and cost-effective regulatory actions. Issues that are of little safety significance must be quickly shown to be so and dismissed in an expeditious manner so as to avoid unnecessary expenditure of limited resources and to reduce regulatory uncertainty. Additionally, in the time since the generic issue program began, probabilistic risk assessment techniques have advanced significantly while agency resources have continued to diminish. Accordingly, the paper discusses the steps that have been taken to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the generic issue resolution process. Additionally, four resolved issues are discussed, along with key elements of a proposed new procedure for resolving potential generic issues.

T1 - Developing a generalized flaw distribution for reactor pressure vessels
AN - 18128965; 5224085
AB - The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is re-evaluating the guidance and criteria in the code of federal regulations as it relates to reactor vessel integrity, specifically pressurized thermal shock (PTS). Recent ultrasonic examination of considerable vessel material at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and industry experiences with Yankee Rowe have provided the NRC with a better understanding of PTS issues. The re-evaluation of PTS will consider a risk-informed approach to the PTS rule and also provide important benefits for licensees considering license renewal. Pressurized thermal shock transients can lead to reactor vessel failure. These transients have occurred at operating reactors but, to date, they have not resulted in vessel failure. To properly determine the potential or probability for vessel failure from a PTS event, an accurate estimate of fabrication flaws is necessary. The characteristics of the fabrication flaw are inputs to fracture mechanics structural calculations that will determine the probability of vessel failure during a PTS event. Also, the results will indicate the sizes and locations of flaws that are most likely to cause failures. This information is also an integral input to the overall pressure vessel safety program. In order to obtain an accurate estimate of fabrication flaws to address PTS events for all classes of reactors, a generic flaw distribution must be developed. An expert judgment process will be used in conjunction with empirical data from PNNL, reactor pressure vessel studies and modeling (RR- PRODIGAL Code) in developing generalized flaw distributions. This paper will demonstrate the important relationship between reactor vessel integrity and flaw distributions in reactor pressure vessel material, discuss the PNNL work to date on developing flaw density and distributions for domestic RPVs, and describe the expert judgment process that was used to verify that a generalized flaw distribution can be properly developed and then assist in developing a generalized flaw distribution.

T1 - Chemical modification of carbonaceous stationary phases by the reduction of diazonium salts.
AN - 71145605; 11534722
AB - This paper describes a new strategy for the creation of chemically modified carbonaceous stationary phases. The strategy exploits the electroreduction of arenediazonium salts as a means for functionalizing the surface of glassy carbon (GC) and porous graphitic carbon (PGC) stationary phases. The one-electron reduction of these salts forms an arene radical which then couples via a carbon-carbon linkage to the carbon framework at the surface of the stationary phase. Two arenediazonium-based modifiers were used in evaluating the potential utility of this strategy: 4-nitrobenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate for the GC and PGC phases and 4-hexylbenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate for only the PGC phases. Modifications were carried out by packing the phases into a column used for electrochemically modulated liquid chromatography. The effectiveness of the modifications was assessed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and by comparing the liquid separation of a series of mixtures before and after coating deposition. For the nitrobenzyl-modified GC phase, the test mixture contained both anisole and fluoranthene. The performance of the nitrobenzyl- and hexylbenzyl-modified PGC stationary phases was characterized by the separations of substituted phenols (i.e., nitrophenol and resorcinol) and a few important pharmaceutical agents (i.e., hexobarbital, oxazepam, and nitrazepam). The potential utility of this modification procedure to form stationary phases that are stable upon extended exposure to aggressive mobile phases is discussed and briefly examined.

T1 - RELOCATION OF TECHNICAL AREA 18 CAPABILITIES AND MATERIALS AT LOS ALAMOS NATIONAL LABORATORY, NEW MEXICO.
AN - 36409424; 8925
AB - PURPOSE: The relocation of Technical Area 18 (TA-18) capabilities and materials at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New Mexico is proposed. The National Nuclear Security Administration is responsible for providing the nation with nuclear weapons, ensuring the safety and reliability of those weapons, and supporting programs that reduce global nuclear proliferation. These missions are accomplished through the use of a core team of trained nuclear experts. One of the major training facilities for personnel executing this mission is located at TA-18 within the LANL. Principal TA-18 operational activities involve research into and the design, development, construction, and application of experiments on nuclear criticality. Operations at TA-18 encompass research on nuclear materials management and criticality safety, emergency response, nonproliferation and safeguards and arms control, and stewardship science. Though TA-18 has been judged to be secure, its buildings and infrastructure are from 30 to more than 50 years old and are increasingly expensive to maintain and operate. Additionally, TA-18 operations are located in relatively isolated areas, resulting in increasingly high security maintenance costs. Key issues identified during scoping include those associated with land resources, site infrastructure, air quality and acoustics, water resources, biotic resources, cultural and paleontological resources, socioeconomics, radiological and hazardous chemical substances, waste management, and transportation of nuclear materials. This draft EIS evaluates the No Action Alternative and an alternative involving upgrading the TA-18 facilities as well as alternative sites at the LANL, the Sandia National Laboratories/New Mexico at Albuquerque, the Nevada Test Site near Las Vegas, and the Argonne National Laboratory-West near Idaho Falls, Idaho. The impacts of operations at the various sites over a 25-year period are assessed. Relocation of the TA-18 facilities within the LANL, which is the preferred alternative, would involve housing the security Category I/II activities in a new building to be constructed near the Plutonium Facility 4 at TA-55. A portion of the security Category III/IV activities would either be relocated to a new structure at TA-39 or remain at TA-18; the remainder of the security Category III/IV activities would either be relocated to a new structure at TA-55 or remain at TA-18. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Relocation of the TA-18 facilities as proposed would increase the efficiency of operations and enhance the security of the facilities, while reducing operation and maintenance costs. The facilities would continue to provide a valuable contribution to national security with respect to the threat of nuclear attack. Normal operations would reduce radiological impacts as compared to the existing TA-18 operations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb 4.5 acres of land. Approximately two cubic yards of low-level and mixed low-level radioactive waste from the refurbishment of the criticality machines currently housed at TA-18 would be generated. LEGAL MANDATES: National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).

T1 - A theoretical evaluation of the assessment of effective dose using multiple personnel dosimeters.
AN - 71046429; 11480872
AB - The ability of a dose calculation algorithm, using the readings of multiple dosimeters, to accurately assess the effective dose under different photon irradiation conditions was assessed using computer simulation. The algorithm was that described in American National Standards Institute publication N13.41. Monte Carlo calculations with an anthropomorphic humanoid phantom were used to calculate the effective doses and also the expected readings of the multiple dosimeters. The irradiation geometries considered included a point source placed at several locations at a distance of 100 cm in front of the phantom, as well as an anterior-posterior plane parallel beam with a lead shield interposed between the phantom and the source. The point source energies considered were 0.05, 0.6, and 2 MeV, and the beam energy was varied between 0.03 and 10 MeV. Also considered were the estimates of effective dose based on the highest reading of the multiple dosimeters, a practice that is currently used in many work places. The results showed that use of the algorithm resulted in substantial improvements in the ability to accurately estimate effective dose. However, the results also showed that the improvements in accuracy were achievable only by using a calibration factor for the dosimetry that is different from the one obtained in current dosimetry calibration practices, and that without the use of this factor, the algorithm tended to underestimate the effective dose for nearly all the irradiation geometries considered. In addition, it appeared that this calibration factor is not constant but varies with irradiation conditions. There thus appears to be a problem of proper dosimetry calibration for use with the algorithm. This work considered only anterior posterior irradiations, and additional work is needed to assess the performance of the algorithm in other non-uniform irradiation geometries.

AB - The 23rd semiannual report of the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project summarizes activities from April 1, 2000, through September 30,2000. These activities are focused on evaluating the suitability of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, as a site for permanent geologic disposal of nuclear materials, as directed by the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended (NWPA). Site characterization, and the semiannual reports describing it, will end when the Secretary of Energy decides whether to recommend the Yucca Mountain site for development of a geologic repository. This progress report documents the Project activities that contributed to completing the near-term programmatic and statutory objectives. These objectives, which are to be completed in the next several years, include: - Completing the environmental impact statement (EIS); - Developing a possible U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Secretarial site recommendation (SR) to the President; - Submitting a license application (LA) to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) if the President recommends the site to Congress, and the President's recommendation is approved. Science and engineering work is focused on developing the technical basis for a decision on SR. Project work is concentrated on three integrated activities: site characterization, design and construction, and repository performance. Accomplishments during this period and their relationship to near-term objectives are summarized briefly in following sections. The near-term objectives and the three integrated activities are presented in more detail in Sections 2-6.

T1 - Steam generator mock-up for assessment of inservice inspection technology
AN - 18195762; 5224097
AB - A steam generator mock-up has been assembled for round-robin (RR) studies of the effectiveness of currently practiced inservice inspection technology for detection of current-day flaws. The mock-up will also be used to evaluate emerging inspection technologies. The 3.66 m (12 ft)-tall mock-up contains 400 tube openings, each consisting of nine test sections that can be used to simulate current-day field-induced flaws and artifacts. Included in the mock-up are simulations of tube support plate (TSP) intersections and the tube sheet (TS). Cracks are present at the TSP, TS, and in the free span sections of the mock-up. For initial evaluation of the RR results, various eddy current methods, as well as multivariate models for data analysis techniques are being used to estimate the depth and length of defects in the mock-up. To ensure that the RR is carried out with procedures as close as possible to those implemented in the field, input was obtained from industry experts on the protocol and procedures to be used for the exercise. One initial assembly of the mock-up with a limited number of flaws and artifact has been completed and tested. A second completed configuration with additional flaw and artifacts simulations will be used for the round robin.

T1 - Bacteria in gel probes: comparison of the activity of immobilized sulfate-reducing bacteria with in situ sulfate reduction in a wetland sediment
AN - 17914777; 5153749
AB - A novel method was used to examine the microbial ecology of iron-rich wetland sediments receiving neutral-pH coal mine drainage. Gel probes inserted into the sediments allowed analysis of the distribution and activity of bacterial sulfate reduction (BSR). A mixed population of sulfate-reducing bacteria enriched from anoxic wetland sediments was immobilized in low temperature-gelling agarose held in grooved rods or probes. The probes were inserted vertically into sediments and were allowed to incubate in situ for 48 h. After their retrieval, the gels were sectioned and analyzed for residual BSR activity and were compared to in situ BSR rates and chemical porewater profiles. The depth distribution of residual BSR activity in the immobilized cell gel probes differed significantly from the BSR measured in situ. Approximately 51% of the total integrated residual sulfate reduction activity measured in the gel probes occurred between 0 and 7 cm of the upper 20 cm of sediment. In contrast, ca. 99% of the integrated in situ BSR occurred between 7- and 20-cm depth, and only 1% of the total integrated rate occurred between 0- and 7-cm depth. Lactate-enriched bacteria immobilized in the gel may have been atypical of the majority of sulfate-reducing bacteria in the sediment. Agarose-immobilized sulfate-reducing bacteria might also be able to proliferate in the otherwise inhospitable zone of iron reduction, where sulfate and labile carbon compounds for which they are usually outcompeted can diffuse freely into the gel matrix. Gel probes containing particulate iron monosulfide (FeS) indicated that FeS remained stable in sediments at depths greater than 2 to 3 cm below the sediment-water interface, consistent with the shallow penetration of oxygen into surface sediments.

T1 - Effect of Pretreatment with UV Radiation on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Photocured Jute Yarn with 1,6-Hexanediol Diacrylate (HDDA)
AN - 831179782; 13882579
AB - Jute yarns were grafted with a single impregnating monomer 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) in order to improve the physicomechanical properties. Jute yarns soaked for different soaking times (3, 5, 10, and 30 minutes) in HDDA+MeOH solutions at different proportions (1-10% HDDA in MeOH [v/v] along with photoinitiator Darocur-1664 [3%]) were cured under UV lamp at different UV radiation intensities (two, four, six, and eight passes). Concentration of monomer, soaking time, and intensity of UV radiation were optimized with extent of mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation at break, and modulus. Enhanced tensile strength (67%), modulus (108%), and polymer loading (11%) were achieved with 5% HDDA concentration, 5-minute soaking time, fourth pass of UV radiation. To further improve the mechanical properties, the jute yarns were pretreated with UV radiation (5, 10, 15, 30, and 50 passes) and treated with optimized monomer concentration (5%). UV-pretreated samples showed the enhanced properties. The tensile strength and modulus increase up to 84% and 132%, respectively, than that of virgin jute yarn. An experiment involving water absorption capacity shows that water uptake by treated samples was much lower than that of the untreated samples. During the weathering test, treated yarns exhibited less loss of mechanical properties than untreated yarns.

T1 - Revegetation of an abandoned uranium millsite on the Colorado Plateau, Arizona.
AN - 71087746; 11476492
AB - We attempted to restore native plants on disturbed sites at a former uranium mill on the Colorado Plateau near Tuba City, AZ. Four-wing saltbush [Atriplex canescens (Pursh) Nutt.] was successfully established in compacted caliche soil and in unconsolidated dune soil when transplants were irrigated through the first summer with 20 L/plant/wk. The caliche soil was ripped before planting to improve water-holding capacity. The diploid saltbush variety, angustifolia, had higher survival and growth than the common tetraploid variety, occidentalis, especially on dune soil. The angustifolia variety grew to 0.3 to 0.4 m3 per plant over 3 yr even though irrigation was provided only during the establishment year. By contrast, direct seeding of a variety of native forbs, grasses, and shrubs yielded poor results, despite supplemental irrigation throughout the first summer. In this arid environment (precipitation = 100 to 200 mm/yr), the most effective revegetation strategy is to establish keystone native shrubs, such as four-wing saltbush, using transplants and irrigation during the establishment year, rather than attempting to establish a diverse plant community all at once.

T1 - System improvements and new experiments in the Advanced Test Reactor, Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory
AN - 18195069; 5224111
AB - The Test Reactor Area (TRA) located at the US Department of Energy's Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) was a cornerstone in the development of nuclear technologies during the last half of the 20th century. The INEEL's Advanced Test Reactor (ATR), the third generation of test reactors at the TRA, has base programs planned for the first half of the 21st century. As the role of nuclear technologies unfolds in the coming decades, past and future testing at the ATR will continue to contribute to technical, operational, and public issues facing the industry. System improvements have been completed or planned that will support operation of the ATR for many more decades. Optimal use of the past and future experience base will provide opportunities for continual improvement in reactor operations and performance. New programs at the ATR support plant aging studies for several international sponsors, disposition of excess weapons grade plutonium in MOX fuel, development of proliferation resistant fuels, and increased isotope production.

T1 - Simulation of subcooled flow instability for high flux research reactors using the extended code ATHLET
AN - 18131923; 5224103
AB - Covering the wide range of reactor safety analysis of power reactors, consisting of leak and transients, the thermohydraulic code ATHLET is being developed by the Gesellschaft for Anlagen- und Reaktorsicherheit (GRS-Society for Plant and Reactor Safety) (Lerchel, G., Austregesilo, H., 1998. ATHLET Mode 1.2 Cycle A, User's Manual, GRS-p-1/Vol. 1, Rev. 1, GRS). In order to extend the code's range of application to the safety analysis of research reactors, a model was developed and implemented permitting a description of the steam formation in the subcooled boiling regime (Hainoun, A., 1994. Modellierung des unterkuehlten Siedens in ATHLET und Anwendung in wassergekuehlten Forschungsreaktoren, D 294 Diss. Univ. Bochum, Juel-2961). Considering the specific features of high flux research reactors given by both high heat flux and high flow velocity, the model of void condensation in subcooled flow has been extended and a new correlation of critical heat flux (CHF) is implemented. To validate the extended program, the Thermal-Hydraulic Test Loop (THTL) of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) was modeled with ATHLET and an extensive series of experiments concerning the onset of thermohydraulic flow instability (OFI) in subcooled boiling regime were calculated. The comparison between experiments and ATHLET-postcalculation shows that the extended code can accurately simulate the thermohydraulic conditions of flow instability in a wide range of heat flux up to 15 MW m super(-2) and inlet flow velocity up to 20 m s super(-1). The thermohydraulic design limit characterized by the mass flux, at which the flow just becomes unstable (OFI), has been predicted in very good agreement with the experiment. However the calculated pressure drop at OFI is overestimated by a maximum deviation of about 25%. The calculated exit bulk temperature of subcooled coolant and the maximum wall temperature at OFI show a maximum deviation from experiment of 12 and 7%, respectively.

T1 - Diffusion of radon through varying depths of cement
AN - 18104874; 5168521
AB - Portland cement was mixed with different concentrations of radium chloride (1200, 2400 and 3600 Bq) to produce radioactive sources. These sources were surrounded with cement of different thickness (1, 2 and 4 cm). The release of radon from these sources (before and after being surrounded) was studied. The results showed that radon release from the sources itself was less then its release from the same source after being surrounded by cement, and the release did not change with the thickness of cement. Samples were covered with a thin layer of polyethylene before being surrounded with cement. It was found that this additional layer reduced the radon exhalation. This thin layer stopped any reaction between the source and the surrounding cement during solidification of the cement layers. These reactions are thought to be the reason for the increase of radon exhalation from the sources surrounded by cement.

T1 - Disequilibrium of uranium isotopes in some Syrian groundwater
AN - 16129723; 5168520
AB - Uranium concentration in groundwater samples from three areas of Syria was determined using alpha -spectrometry and INAA. It was in the range of 0-6.13 mu g/l in the phosphate areas, and lower than 1 ppb in the volcanic areas. The activity ratio of super(234)U/ super(238)U was investigated, and disequilibrium of uranium isotopes was found to occur ( super(234)U/ super(238)U=0.52-2.02). The excess of super(234)U was calculated. This excess can be interpreted by higher mobility of super(234)U, which more readily forms the soluble (UO sub(2)) super(2+) ion in comparison with super(238)U, most of which remains in the insoluble 4 super(+) state. This excess increases with increase in uranium concentration. Thorium concentration was measured using INAA, it was found to be in the range 0-1.15 mu g/l.

T1 - Modeling an irrigation management strategy for minimizing the leaching of atrazine
AN - 17875333; 5116920
AB - Possible contamination of water resources by applied pesticides (including insecticides and herbicides) is a problem currently confronting irrigated agricultural production. Best management practices have to be adopted to minimize pesticide transport and leaching under irrigated conditions. A field capacity/mixing-cell model (IRRSCHM) and a model that uses Richard's equation and the convection-dispersion equation to describe water and contaminant dynamics in soils (LEACHP) were used to assess the leaching of atrazine (a herbicide) under corn receiving different levels of early-season irrigation. The early-season irrigation levels were 11.1, 16.8, 23.3, and 28.8 cm out of corresponding seasonal irrigation levels of 31.2, 39.6, 45.5, and 53.1 cm. The objectives were to (a) use a modeling approach to evaluate water management effects on atrazine leaching, and (b) assess the feasibility of using IRRSCHM and LEACHP to guide irrigation for minimizing atrazine leaching.IRRSCHM and LEACHP simulations deviated from the measured atrazine profile, but both models predicted reasonably well the progression in atrazine leaching with increasing water application. Additionally, atrazine pulses predicted by IRRSCHM were ahead of those by LEACHP but lagged behind those observed under the different irrigation levels. Similarly, both models underestimated atrazine leaching, with IRRSCHM leaching estimates being closer to the observed than the LEACHP estimates. For example, the atrazine profile's center of mass position at 143 days after application, ranged from 34.2 to 49.4 cm for IRRSCHM, 23.8 to 34.7 cm for LEACHP, and 40.6 to 60.9 cm for the measured atrazine profile under irrigation levels that ranged from 31.2 to 53.1 cm of water. Based on accurate predictions of the trends in atrazine leaching in relation to different irrigation levels, IRRSCHM and LEACHP could be used for preliminary assessment of the likely amount of atrazine leaching, resulting from targeted irrigation management strategies.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: REGARDING TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4, SOUTH MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA (FIFTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36434297; 9158
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 located in South Miami-Dade County, Florida for an additional 20 years is proposed in this third draft supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all nuclear power reactor license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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. Each of the remaining 23 issues that applies to Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 is addressed in this draft supplement. The applicant, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), operates the units on a 24,000-acre site, located on the shoreline of Biscayne Bay surrounded by a 0.79-mile exclusion area. The site and adjacent lands along the shoreline north of the site comprise Biscayne Bay National Park. Each unit is a pressurized light-water reaction with three steam generators, which power the turbine generators. Each unit, designed and fabricated by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, is capable of an output of 2,300 megawatts (MW) of thermal energy, with a corresponding gross electrical output of approximately 795 MW. Onsite electrical power usage amounts to slightly more than 100 MW, leaving each unit with a reliable net summer rating of 693 MW. The units employ a three-loop cooling system for heat dissipation. The primary loop is a sealed system that carries heat from the reactors to the steam generators. The secondary loop, which is also sealed, carried heat from the steam generators through the turbines to the condensers. The tertiary system carries heat from the condensers to a recirculating canal system where the heat is released into the environment. The temperature rise in the water from the recirculating canals across the condensers is approximately 18 degrees Fahrenheit. The primary and secondary loops use treated freshwater, while the tertiary loop uses saltwater. The cooling canal system, which covers approximately 6,700 acres, consists of 32 channels that carry warm water south from the plant and eight channels that return water to the plant. FPL uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect byproducts of reactor operations. The nonradioactive waste system consists of a contact stabilization treatment plant for sanitary waste located west of the powerblock area. The units share a switchyard and transmission lines with Turkey Points Unites 1 and 2. Eight transmission lines leave the site in two 330-foot-wide corridors; overall corridor length is approximately 57 miles. 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; the units would continue to generate electricity to supply the needs of more than 13,000 homes. For each of the applicable issues, it has been determined that the potential environmental impacts of renewal of the licenses is small. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The units would continue to consume approximately 1.5 cubic feet per second of demineralized, potable, and fire protection water per day. The average flow of sanitary wastewater, discharged to groundwater through an injection well, would continue to amount to 0.053 cubic feet per second. The most significant resource commitments related to the operation during the renewal term would involve fuel and permanent waste storage space. The units replace approximately 33 percent of the fuel assemblies in each of the two units during every refueling outage, which occurs on an 18-month cycle. Radiation releases from the units during normal operations would be minimal but, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, radiation releases would present a threat to the environment and human health in a highly populated area.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: REGARDING TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4, SOUTH MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA (FIFTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 36417734; 8542
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal for an additional 20 years of the operating licenses for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, located in southern Florida, is proposed. The applicant, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), operates the units on a 24,000-acre site, located on the shoreline of Biscayne Bay surrounded by a 0.79-mile exclusion area. The site and adjacent lands along the shoreline north of the site comprise Biscayne Bay National Park. The site is approximately 10 miles south of the city of Miami, eight miles east of Florida City, nine miles southwest of the city of Homestead, and 25 miles of Key Largo. The final generic EIS of May 1996 considered renewing nuclear power plant operating licenses for a 20-year period. It identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions related 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 reviews are to be included in a supplement to the generic EIS. The remaining 23 issues that apply to Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 are addressed in this fifth draft supplement to the final generic EIS. Each unit is a pressurized light-water reaction with three steam generators which power the turbine generators. Each unit, designed and fabricated by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, is capable of an output of 2,300 megawatts (MW) of thermal energy, with a corresponding gross electrical output of approximately 795 MW. Onsite electrical power usage amounts to slightly more than 100 MW, leaving each unit with a reliable net summer rating of 693 MW. The units employ a three-loop cooling system for heat dissipation. The primary loop is a sealed system that carries heat from the reactors to the steam generators. The secondary loop, which is also sealed, carried heat from the steam generators through the turbines to the condensers. The tertiary system carries heat from the condensers to a recirculating canal system where the heat is released into the environment. The temperature rise in the water from the recirculating canals across the condensers is approximately 18 degrees Fahrenheit. The primary and secondary loops use treated freshwater, while the tertiary loop uses saltwater. The cooling canal system, which covers approximately 6,700 acres, consists of 32 channels that carry warm water south from the plant and eight channels that return water to the plant. FPL uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect byproducts of reactor operations. The non-radioactive waste system consists of a contact stabilization treatment plant for sanitary waste located west of the powerblock area. The units share a switchyard and transmission lines with Turkey Points Unites 1 and 2. Eight transmission lines leave the site in two 330-foot-wide corridors; overall corridor length is approximately 57 miles. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant units would meet future system generation needs, including the needs of more than 13,000 homes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The units would continue to consume approximately 1.5 cubic feet per second of demineralized, potable, and fire protection water per day. The average flow of sanitary wastewater, discharged to groundwater through an injection well, would continue to amount to 0.053 cubic feet per second. The most significant commitments related to the operation during the renewal term would involve fuel and permanent waste storage space. The units replace approximately 33 percent of the fuel assemblies in each of the two units during every refueling outage, which occurs on an 18-month cycle. Radiation releases from the units during normal operations would be minimal but, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, radiation releases would present a threat to the environment and human health in a highly populated area. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended (43 U.S.C. 1241), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs, see 91-0281D, Volume 15, Number 5, and 96-0226F, Volume 20, Number 3, respectively.

AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 located in South Miami-Dade County, Florida for an additional 20 years is proposed in this third draft supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all nuclear power reactor license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 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. Each of the remaining 23 issues that applies to Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 is addressed in this draft supplement. The applicant, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), operates the units on a 24,000-acre site, located on the shoreline of Biscayne Bay surrounded by a 0.79-mile exclusion area.

The nonradioactive waste system consists of a contact stabilization treatment plant for sanitary waste located west of the powerblock area. The units share a switchyard and transmission lines with Turkey Points Unites 1 and 2. Eight transmission lines leave the site in two 330-foot-wide corridors; overall corridor length is approximately 57 miles. 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; the units would continue to generate electricity to supply the needs of more than 13,000 homes. For each of the applicable issues, it has been determined that the potential environmental impacts of renewal of the licenses is small. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The units would continue to consume approximately 1.5 cubic feet per second of demineralized, potable, and fire protection water per day. The average flow of sanitary wastewater, discharged to groundwater through an injection well, would continue to amount to 0.053 cubic feet per second.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2, APPLING COUNTY, GEORGIA (FOURTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 16357591; 8528
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal for an additional 20 years of the operating licenses for the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant (HNP), Units 1 and 2, located in southeastern Georgia, is proposed. The final EIS of May 1996 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 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 units in this third supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on the promulgation of rules for all license renewals. 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. In addition to the No Action Alternative, alternatives to license renewal addressed in this supplement include coal-fired generation, gas-fired generation, imported electrical power, and other, less traditional 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 would be August 6, 2014 and June 13, 2018, respectively. 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 in a rural area of southeastern Georgia, 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. Under the preferred alternative, the operating licenses for the two units would be renewed. 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 continue to 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 subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during the plant closure and the transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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).

T1 - New downhole-blended real-time fracture stimulation of deep gas reservoirs
AN - 52008964; 2003-023523
AB - An innovative real-time stimulation procedure allows operators to make instantaneous changes in composite fluid rheology and proppant concentration at the perforations via downhole blending. In successful field-testing, a downhole-blended composite stimulation fluid mixture was injected into a deep Morrow sandstone gas reservoir at 12,100-12,300 feet. The stimulation mix was comprised of CO2 that was injected down tubing, and methanol, gel and proppant that was injected down casing. The end result was a commercially productive gas producer in a well that had been previously scheduled for plugging, and at less than half of the typical injection pressures and fracture stimulation cost. A gamma tracer survey confirmed the results of this innovative completion method.

T1 - Hydrodynamic characteristics of the coastal areas of Bangladesh
AN - 51358743; 2003-060869
AB - The geographical condition of Bangladesh is in the prominent track of maritime monsoon wind just along the narrowest funnel shaped and shallow part of the Bay of Bengal in the South and the lofty Himalayas in the North. Its environment and ecology are of diverse nature, It is a part of humid tropics. Geologically, it is the delta of the three big rivers of the world--the Ganges, the Brahmaputra and the Meghna, known as the Bengal Basin. Most part of this Basin consists of Quaternary alluvial deposits lain down by the three big rivers, their tributaries and distributaries. These deposits are thought to be as thick as 3 000 m, most of it being of Pleistocene origin. The delta area itself only shows a very poor relief with some maximum elevations of upto some 20 m to 30 m Above Mean Sea Level. The majority of the coastal area, however, consists of Holocene alluvial and estuarine deposits in the valleys between the Pleistocene terraces and along the coast of the Bay of Bengal. The river systems continue a huge amount of sediment supply at the rate of 2.4 billion tons of sediment to one of the largest deltas of the world, keeping the expansion of the delta in progress. But it is very slow as most of this huge sediment supply washed away to the deeper part of the Bay of Bengal where it settles. It is believed that a delicate equilibrium exists between the upbuilding of the flood plain by flood lain deposits and the relative sea-level rise. A highly important and often disastrous feature is the extremely dynamic behaviour of the beds of the rivers and the tidal channels of the delta. The tide in Bangladesh is semi-diurnal. The two successive levels of high water and low water show distinct daily inequalities. The South-west monsoon tends to accumulate water in the north-eastern corner of the Bay of Bengal. Together with the huge fresh water discharge from the large rivers, this leads to rise of the water level along the coast. It is most common and of the greatest magnitude during tides. Occasionally, the vertical appearing wall of water is about 1.0 m to 1.5 m in height, which under some adverse meteorological conditions produces tidal bore of up to 5 m in height and savages/damages the coastal regions of Bangladesh in a greater extent. The coastal waves have an important influence on the erosion and deposition processes. Along the long sandy coast of Bangladesh, this phenomenon is causing the well known littoral drift. Incidentally, higher waves may occur during cyclones. Both suspended and bed loads are moving with the water of the rivers and estuarian inlets. In the coastal regions of Bangladesh, the water is always found in motion due to tides and waves which create turbulence. As a result, the settlement of moving sediments is found minimum in comparison to the huge quantities discharged by the river systems of Bangladesh.

T1 - NRC export and import requirements
AN - 18503720; 5475091
AB - The NRC regulates both exports and imports. Acting under a variety of legal requirements the NRC regulates the export of nuclear facilities, components and nuclear materials for purposes of non-proliferation. In addition, in 1995 the Commission amended NRC regulations in 10CFR Part 110 to establish specific licensing requirements for imports and exports of radioactive waste to conform U.S. practices to the IAEA Code of Practice on the International Transboundary Movement of Radioactive Waste. For imports, NRC regulations require specific licensing of imports of nuclear facilities and source and special nuclear material in the form of irradiated fuel that exceeds 100 kg per shipment. All other imports of source, byproduct, or special nuclear material are allowed into the U.S. under a general license (10CFR110.27) if the consignee is authorized to possess the material under a license issued by the NRC or an Agreement State, as a DOE contractor, or the material is exempt from licensing.

T1 - Coseismic displacements along the Serghaya Fault; an active branch of the Dead Sea fault system in Syria and Lebanon
AN - 52213664; 2001-050896
AB - Examination of the Serghaya fault, a branch of the Dead Sea Fault System in western Syria and eastern Lebanon, documents Late Quaternary and Recent left-lateral fault movements including the probable remnant of a historic coseismic surface rupture. Carbon-14 dating and the presence of fault-scarp free faces in soft, late Pleistocene lake deposits suggest coseismic slip during the past two or three centuries, possibly corresponding with one of the well-documented earthquakes of 1705 or 1759. With an estimated Holocene slip rate of 1-2 mm a (super -1) , the Serghaya Fault accommodates a significant part of the active deformation along the Arabian-African plate boundary. These results suggest that multiple active fault branches are involved in the transfer of strain through the "Lebanese" restraining bend.

T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNIT 1, POPE COUNTY, ARKANSAS (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996).
AN - 16350676; 8471
AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 (ANO-1) for an additional 20 years, located in central Arkansas, is proposed. This final supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 covers the promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final generic EIS of 1996 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. Some 23 issues that apply to ANO-1 are addressed in this final supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the ANO-1 in this final supplement to the final EIS. If the license is 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 is not renewed, ANO-1 would be shut down on or before 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. An exclusion area with a radius of 0.7 mile surrounds the site. 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. The preferred alternative is the renewal of the license alternative. 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. The ANO 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 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, 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 subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the third draft supplement on Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1, see 01-0008D, Volume 25, Number 1.

T1 - A study on transfer factors of 60Co and 65Zn from soil to plants in the tropical environment of Bangladesh.
AN - 70819810; 11336414
AB - Soil to plant transfer factor (TF) of 60Co and 65Zn was determined from radioisotope experiments on plants grown in pots under outdoor ambient tropical conditions for three growing seasons (1995-1998). The TFs were obtained for different plants/crops such as, rice, bean, peanuts pineapple, cabbage, tomato, spinach and grass. The average TF values of 60Co are found to be 0.087. 0.15, 0.12, 0.67, 0.28, 0.79, 1.03 and 0.34 respectively for the above mentioned plants/crops. In case of 65Zn, the average TF values are found to be 2.24, 1.17. 0.89, 1.09, 0.78, 1.34, 2.92 and 1.78, respectively, for the above mentioned plants/crops. The data will be useful to assess the radiation exposure to man associated with the releases of radionuclides from nuclear facilities by means of radiological assessment models that require transfer factors as input parameters to predict the contamination of radionuclides in foodchain.

T1 - Modeling errors, bias and error regions in IMS seismic monitoring of Israel
AN - 52239430; 2001-033329
AB - The International Monitoring System (IMS) must meet the difficult challenge of monitoring global seismic activity with a sparse network to verify compliance with the comprehensive nuclear-test-ban treaty (CTBT). Data from the IMS will be processed by the International Data Center (IDC) to locate events and to screen out those that are clearly natural events. Accurate location of events is important because a suspicious event could lead to an on-site inspection that will focus on the region of the determined epicenter. We explore the question of potential IDC location errors for seismic events in Israel. We consider both systematic location bias due to inaccuracies in the travel time model and statistical variation due to errors in picking phase onsets. We find that systematic epicentral bias might be as large as 30 km, despite a relatively good station configuration, in which case it will dominate the statistical errors.

T1 - Water-quality change due to the Cerro Grande Fire, and its potential use as a recharge tracer
AN - 52153716; 2002-009286
AB - Portions of upper Pajarito Canyon watershed were severely burned during the Cerro Grande fire in May 2000. A perennial stream within this reach is supported by seeps that discharge from Tschicoma Formation dacites at an elevation of 9,000 ft. Flow extends eastward for approximately 1.5 miles and abruptly terminates at the surface expression of the Pajarito fault, where upper Bandelier Tuff units crop out at 8,100 ft elevation. Approximately 1.2 miles downgradient of the fault, several permanent springs emanate from these tuff units at about 7,640 ft elevation. Before the fire, the stream and spring waters generally showed the same hydrochemical signature. Additionally, the rate of stream loss across the fault was equivalent to the cumulative spring discharge. These observations suggest a hydrologic connection where the fault acts as a recharge conduit for ground water and the downgradient springs serve as discharge points. A tracer study was needed to test the conceptual model for connectivity between the surface water and the springs, and the Cerro Grande fire supplied ample chemical conditions for such a tracer. Surface-water samples were collected two weeks after the fire, and prior to major storm-runoff events. Hydrochemical changes to the surface water, such as elevated bicarbonate, were noticeable. The springs were sampled about one month after the fire; analytical results show that bicarbonate and calcium had already passed through the fault and spring system. Hence, the travel time from the point of recharge to discharge appears to be less than 30 days, assuming the referenced ions moved at the same velocity as ground water. Post-fire stream and spring sampling was conducted throughout the summer and into the fall, and data show variable hydrochemical-breakthrough times at the springs. Potentially, the post-fire surface water, if a source of recharge, can now be chemically traced to deeper saturated zones, which in turn should greatly improve the overall hydrogeologic conceptual model for the Los Alamos area.

T1 - Evaluation of some garlic (Allium sativum L.) mutants resistant to white rot disease by RAPD analysis
AN - 18238469; 5291266
AB - Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was used to evaluate genetic diversity among eight garlic mutants resistant to white rot disease (Sclerotium cepivorum). Twelve of the 13 synthetic random primers were found to identify polymorphism in amplification products. Mutants characterised with moderate resistance to white rot were closely related to the control using cluster and correlation analyses. On the other hand, highly resistant mutants were quite distant from the control with low correlation coefficients. The banding patterns produced by primer OPB-15 (GGAGGGTGTT) with highly resistant mutants may by used as genetic markers for early selection of resistant plants.

T1 - Rhodophyta Seaweed Species as Bioindicators for Monitoring Toxic Element Pollutants in the Marine Ecosystem of Ghana
AN - 1777167146; 13726659
AB - Six seaweed species of the Rhodophyta family were sampled for atwo-year period from June 1996 to August 1998 along the Atlanticcoast of Ghana (part of the Atlantic Ocean). The species wereanalysed to determine the levels of eleven chemicalelements namely: Al, As, Br, Cd, Fe, La, Mn, Ni, Hg, V and Zn byInstrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA). Al, Br, Ni, andZn were measured in all the seaweed species studied. The elementAl generally showed the highest concentrations in most of thespecies analysed while Hg levels were the lowest. Precision andaccuracy of the method have been evaluated and the detectionlimits also calculated. The results showed high variability inand between species, among sampling sites and times ofcollection. The high values of metal concentrations in themacroalgae suggest that these marine organisms can be used asbiological indicators for studing marine pollution.

T1 - High-performance liquid chromatography interfaced with fluorescence line-narrowing spectroscopy for on-line analysis.
AN - 77032419; 11289441
AB - We have demonstrated, for the first time, that high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) can be interfaced with fluorescence line-narrowing spectroscopy (FLNS) for on-line identification and characterization of analytes. Interfacing centered primarily on the design and construction of a novel liquid helium cryostat that accommodates variable-sized quartz tubes/capillaries suitable for HPLC as well as capillary electrophoresis/electrochromatography. In addition to the high spectral resolution afforded by FLNS, analyzing the separated components at 4.2 K minimizes photodegradation from the excitation source and provides indefinite detection times for signal averaging. The proof-of-principle for the HPLC-FLNS system is first demonstrated with a mixture of four structurally similar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and then applied to the analysis of DNA adducts from mouse skin exposed to the carcinogen dibenzo[a,l]pyrene. With femtomole detection limits, HPLC-FLNS can be used for real-world analyses of complex mixtures.

T1 - Dose constraints to the individual annual doses of exposed workers in the medical sector.
AN - 77007630; 11274851
AB - The study is an attempt, within the process of the optimization of radiation protection, to propose constraints to the individual annual doses of classified workers employed in the medical sector of ionizing radiation applications in Greece. These exposed workers were grouped according to their specialties, i.e. medical doctors, technicians and nurses and their occupational category with common or similar tasks, such as diagnostic radiology, interventional radiology, nuclear medicine and radiotherapy. The last 5 years' annual dose distributions of these occupational groups, coming from the National Dose Registry Information System (NDRIS) of the Greek Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) were analyzed. The proposed dose constraints (DCs) were set at levels, below which the annual doses of the 70 or 75% of the exposed workers per category are expected to be included. At the present stage the derived values may be considered achievable ceiling values referring to acceptably applied practices rather than to optimized ones, taking into account social and economic criteria.

T1 - Changes in biogas production due to different ratios of some animal and agricultural wastes.
AN - 70588666; 11211084
AB - The biogas production and some biochemical parameters of anaerobic fermentation at 30 degrees C for 40 days were studied for eight experimental groups of fermentation media, as affected by two factors: (1) the type of the animal waste (sheep waste, S and goat waste, G), and (2) the ratio of waste to olive cake which constitutes four levels (100:0 for S1 and G1; 80:20 for S2 and G2; 60:40 for S3 and G3 and 40:60 for S4 and G4). The results indicated that there was a significant decrease (P < 0.05) in the biogas production with an increase in the proportion of olive cake in place of animal waste. However, there was a significant increase in the biogas production for the S4 treatment compared with G4, reflecting an effect induced by the type of animal waste. The biogas production amounted to (l/kg VS/40 d): 62 (S1), 53 (S2), 49 (S3), 40 (S4), 58 (G1), 50 (G2), 44 (G3) and 25 (G4). The reduction in total solid (TS) weight, volatile solids (VS), neutral-detergent fiber decreased significantly (P < 0.05) with the increase in olive cake proportion in the digester. The reductions in VS were (% in DM): 58.2 (S1), 37.8 (S2), 26.6 (S3), 22.6 (S4), 58.1 (G1), 36 (G2), 33.4 (G3), 14.4 (G4). The rates of energy consumption were (MJ/kg DM/40 d): 15.36 (S1), 10.12 (S2), 7.84 (S3), 6.68 (S4), 14.16 (G1), 9.68 (G2), 8.41 (G3), 3.29 (G4).

T1 - Potential roles for the Master Curve in regulatory application
AN - 18180970; 5149448
AB - The Master Curve, as introduced by Wallin and co-workers in 1984, has evolved into a mature technology for characterizing the fracture toughness transition of ferritic steels. Considerable empirical evidence provides testament to the robustness of the Master Curve procedure. However, in 1997, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff detailed several technical issues requiring resolution prior to staff acceptance of applications of Master Curve technology to the fracture integrity assessment of nuclear reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) [1]. Current and recently completed research programs sponsored by both the NRC and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) focus on closure of these issues. This paper reviews the issues detailed in 1997, comments on their continued relevance in light of recent research results, and details areas where either additional research or a change or research focus in warranted.

T1 - Selection of pressurized thermal shock (PTS) transients to include in PTS risk analyses
AN - 18075229; 5149450
AB - Pressurized thermal shock (PTS)-risk-significant events have not typically been included in the probabilistic risk analyses (PRAs) of nuclear power plants (e.g. those used to perform the individual plant evaluations (IPEs)). This paper describes the process used to identify the PTS-risk-significant events to be added to the PRAs of plants being studied in an on-going Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) PTS risk evaluation. The process requires consideration of the five necessary features of PTS events: (1) and (2) fast neutron embrittlement and a crack or flaw in the reactor pressure vessel; (3) rapid cooling of the primary system; (4) a sustained low temperature (< similar to 176.7 degree C {350 degree F} for vessels with reference temperature for the nil-ductility transition (RT sub(NDT)) less than 132.2 degree C {270 degree F}); and (5) repressurization (or maintenance of high primary system pressure). Without the presence of all five of these features, no event will pose a significant PTS-related risk. This paper assumes the presence of the first two (materials-related) features, and discusses the remaining three (transient-related) features. To date, no radically new initiators or event sequences have been identified. However, since this study considers the added operational difficulties that may be caused by the loss of support systems and the effects on the operators of more complex initiating events, it is believed that compared to previous studies, more realistic PTS risk results will be obtained.

T1 - Modeling colloid transport for performance assessment
AN - 51190812; 2001-032958
AB - The natural system is expected to contribute to isolation at the proposed high-level nuclear waste (HLW) geologic repository at Yucca Mountain, NV (YM). In developing performance assessment (PA) computer models to simulate long-term behavior at YM, colloidal transport of radionuclides has been proposed as a critical factor because of the possible reduced interaction with the geologic media. Site-specific information on the chemistry and natural colloid concentration of saturated zone groundwaters in the vicinity of YM is combined with a surface complexation sorption model to evaluate the impact of natural colloids on calculated retardation factors (R (sub F) ) for several radioelements of concern in PA. Inclusion of colloids into the conceptual model can reduce the calculated effective retardation significantly. Strongly sorbed radionuclides such as americium and thorium are most affected by pseudocolloid formation and transport, with a potential reduction in R (sub F) of several orders of magnitude. Radioelements that are less strongly sorbed under YM conditions, such as uranium and neptunium, are not affected significantly by colloid transport, and transport of plutonium in the +5 valence state is only moderately enhanced. Model results showed no increase in the peak mean annual total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) within a compliance period of 10,000 years, although this is strongly dependent on container life in the base case scenario. At longer times, simulated container failures increase and the TEDE from the colloidal models increased by a factor of 60 from the base case. By using mechanistic models and sensitivity analyses to determine what parameters and transport processes affect the TEDE, colloidal transport in future versions of the TPA code can be represented more accurately.

T1 - Regulatory Control of Radioactive Sources
AN - 18189361; 5217259
AB - The use of radioactive sources is now commonplace throughout the world. Such sources are in widespread use in medical practice, in academic research, and in numerous industrial applications, such as gamma irradiation, radiography, gauging, gas chromatography, and well logging. Domestic and international commerce in these sources is extensive. As all of you know, although these sources are particularly useful, they are also potentially harmful if misused or if misplaced or stolen. Despite strong efforts by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and others, much work remains to establish effective national and international control over radioactive sources. And the controls that do exist are often hampered by less than effective communication among the users and the regulatory agency and by the failure to focus on the most important problems. Public attention is often more closely focused on the radiation and environmental hazards associated with the nuclear fuel cycle, and particularly with the dangers arising from power reactors, than on those associated with radioactive sources.

T1 - Factors Influencing Mating Success, Mating Frequency, and Fecundity in Phthorimaea operculella (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)
AN - 17895741; 5136358
AB - The adult potato tuberworm, Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller), is a primary pest of potato plants. Studies were conducted to assess the possibility of applying sterile insect technique as an alternative control method against this pest. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of adult age, weight, female mating status, and sex ratio on success and frequency of mating in P. operculella. The relationship between number of matings, fecundity, and fertility of females was also studied. A negative correlation was found between mating success and adult age. Female and male weights had an effect on the number of times individuals mate, but male weight only influenced mating success. Males mated more than once when confined with three virgin females for 24 h. Females did not mate more than once, even when they were confined with three virgin males. Males were more likely to mate with virgin females than with previously mated females. Multiply mated females and those which did not accept a second mating showed higher fecundity and fertility than their counterparts which were not given the opportunity to remate. Our results provide essential information necessary to increase the effectiveness of sterile insect technique as a control method against P. operculella.

T1 - Technical Study of Spent Fuel Pool Accident Risk at Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants
AN - 17877081; 5116168
AB - This study contains the results of the NRC staff's evaluation of the potential accident risk in a spent fuel pool at decommissioning plants in the United States. This study was prepared to provide a technical basis for decommissioning rulemaking for permanently shutdown nuclear power plants. This study describes a modeling approach of a typical decommissioning plant with design assumptions and industry commitments; the thermal-hydraulic analyses performed to evaluate the behavior of spent fuel stored in the spent fuel pool at decommissioning plants; the risk assessment of spent fuel pool accidents; the consequence calculations; and the sensitivity study and implications for decommissioning regulatory requirements. Preliminary drafts of this study were issued for public comments and technical reviews in June 1999 and February 2000. Comments from interested stakeholders, the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards, and other technical reviewers have been taken into account in preparing this study. A broad quality review was also carried out at the Idaho National Engineering and Environment Laboratory, and a panel of human reliability analysis experts evaluated the report's assumptions, methods, and modeling.

AN - 17875694; 5116169
AB - NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, was issued in November 1980 and is the basic emergency planning document used by nuclear power plant licensees and State and local governments to develop and maintain radiological emergency plans for nuclear power plants. NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision is used by NRC and FEMA staff to review, respectively, licensee and State and local emergency plans, and to make findings and determinations regarding the adequacy of these plans. Many of the references in NUREG-0654 /FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, are no longer current and have been updated or superseded. Therefore, in an effort to enhance the usefullness of the document, the NRC and FEMA are issuing an addenda to update the references in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1.

T1 - CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF AN INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION ON THE RESERVATION OF THE SKULL VALLEY BAND OF GOSHUTE INDIANS AND THE RELATED TRANSPORTATION FACILITY IN TOOELE COUNTY, UTAH (DOCKET NO. 72-22).
AN - 36411080; 9136
AB - PURPOSE: Issuance of a license to Private Fuel Storage, L.L.C. (PFS) for the construction and operation of an independent spent fuel storage installation on the reservation of the Skull Valley Ban of Goshute Indians in Skull Valley, Tooele County, Utah is proposed. PFS is owned by eight U.S. power utilities. The 820-acre site of the storage facility would be 27 miles west-southwest of Tooele. Spent nuclear fuel would be transported by rail from existing reactor sites to Skull Valley. The facility would be designed to store 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 sytem would employ the Holtec HI-STORM dual-purpose canister based cask system. PFS anticipates the use of as many as 4,000 canisters inside individual storage casks 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. In addition to the proposed action (Alternative, outlined above, this final EIS considers three action alternatives located on the reservation, a site in Freemont County, Wyoming, and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The availability of the storage facility would allow continued operation of the nuclear reactors owned and operated by the members of PFS by providing a safe and economical means of storing spent reactor fuel. Construction activities would provide employment for 255 persons during peak periods, and the 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 construction, of which 140 acres would be displaced for the life of the project. The rail line would require 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. Historic resources of as yet undetermined quality occur within the project area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 00-0443D, Volume 24, Number 4.

T1 - Entrance surface, organ and effective doses for some of the patients undergoing different types of X ray procedures in Bangladesh.
AN - 72206479; 11605800
AB - Entrance surface doses (ESDs) were measured for the most common types of X ray procedures, such as chest PA, lumber spine AP, lumber spine lateral, skull AP, skull lateral and pelvis AP in four major hospitals of Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. Organ/tissue doses for 29 organs/tissues and effective doses for the patients were also calculated using the entrance surface dose as the input quantity. Organ/tissue doses and effective doses were calculated by using XDOSE software based on the Monte Carlo computation method. It was observed that the fluctuation of the entrance surface dose was too large. The ratio of maximum and minimum ESD values ranged from 4.8 to 35.9. Consequently, variation of organ doses was large even in the same type of X ray examination and in the same facility. Mean effective doses for the above mentioned X ray procedures were also determined and compared with the effective doses of some other countries. In most cases effective doses measured for the different types of X ray procedures were found to be lower than the effective doses of some other countries.

T1 - Personal neutron dosimetry at a research reactor facility.
AN - 71227333; 11586728
AB - Individual neutron monitoring presents several difficulties due to the differences in energy response of the dosemeters. In the present study, an individual dosemeter (TLD) calibration approach is attempted for the personnel of a research reactor facility. The neutron energy response function of the dosemeter was derived using the MCNP code. The results were verified by measurements to three different neutron spectra and were found to be in good agreement. Three different calibration curves were defined for thermal, intermediate and fast neutrons. At the different working positions around the reactor, neutron spectra were defined using the Monte Carlo technique and ambient dose rate measurements were performed. An estimation of the neutrons energy is provided by the ratio of the different TLD pellets of each dosemeter in combination with the information concerning the worker's position; then the dose equivalent is deduced according to the appropriate calibration curve.

T1 - From films to thermoluminescence dosemeters: the Greek Atomic Energy Commission experience.
AN - 71223457; 11586730
AB - The personnel dosimetry department of the Greek Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) assures the individual monitoring of almost 8000 occupationally exposed workers. Thermoluminescence dosimetry systems will replace the existing photographic dosimetry system for the individual monitoring with the joint support of IAEA and GAEC. The thermoluminescence dosimetry system consists of two automated readers, one automated irradiator and about 20,000 dosemeters purchased from the Rados Co. The properties of two thermoluminescent materials have been compared: LiF has been chosen for the whole-body dosemeter configuration and Li2B4O7 for the extremities. The technical evaluation of the system has been performed according to the European and IEC standards. The overall uncertainty has been calculated. The existing database system, and the accounting and dispatching procedures have been adapted to the new demands. The system became operational on March 2000, and the official distribution of thermoluminescence dosemeters has begun.

T1 - Assessment of radioactivity and the associated hazards in local and imported cement types used in Sudan.
AN - 71152085; 11548355
AB - Activity concentration of 232Th, 226Ra and 40K in local (Atbra and Rabak) and imported cement types (Jordanian, Indonesian and Seabulk) has been measured using high-resolution gamma-spectrometry. The average values obtained for 232Th, 226Ra and 40K activity concentrations in different cements are lower than the corresponding global values reported in UNSCEAR publications. The radium-equivalent activity (Raeq) of the samples was calculated and compared with similar data reported in the literature. The comparison has revealed that Raeq values obtained fall far below the criterion limit specified for building materials. The potential radiological hazard of the different samples was estimated using different approaches: representative level index and annual dose limit (dose due to gamma radiation inside the room and inhalation of radon). The estimated representative level index for all the samples is less than unity (the upper limit) indicating that the associated gamma radiation level is low. The annual dose limit falls within 0.19 to 0.30 mSv, which is an order of magnitude below the criterion limit specified for building materials in the literature.

T1 - Electrochemically actuated mercury pump for fluid flow and delivery.
AN - 70583744; 11195492
AB - This paper describes the development of a prototype pumping system with the potential for incorporation into miniaturized, fluid-based analytical instruments. The approach exploits the well-established electrocapillarity phenomena at a mercury/electrolyte interface as the mechanism for pump actuation. That is, electrochemically induced changes in the surface tension of mercury result in the pistonlike movement of a mercury column confined within a capillary. We present herein theoretical and experimental assessments of pump performance. The design and construction of the pump are detailed, and the potential attributes of this design, including the generated pumping pressure, flow rate, and power consumption, are discussed. The possible miniaturization of the pump for use as a field-deployable, fluid-delivery device is also briefly examined.

T1 - WIPP and Yucca Mountain; USDOE's multi-faceted approach to the safe geologic disposal of radioactive wastes
AN - 52137854; 2002-020298
AB - The US Department of Energy (DOE) has developed a multi-faceted approach to the geologic disposal of a several types of long-lived nuclear wastes. Two sites are currently being developed or studied as current or potential deep geologic repositories for radioactive wastes. The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), located in southeastern New Mexico, is currently being used by the DOE for the disposal of defense-related transuranic waste (TRU). Most of the TRU waste to be disposed of at WIPP is contaminated sludge and refuse including rags, tools, protective clothing, and equipment. Many of these items originate from activities associated with the production of nuclear weapons, including plutonium fabrication and reprocessing, research and development, decontamination and decommissioning, and environmental restoration programs. Geologically the WIPP repository is located in a bedded salt formation of Permian age some 655 meters below the land surface. The allowed 176,000 cubic meters of waste will be mostly packaged in 55-gallon (208 liter) drums and standard waste boxes (capacity of about 1.88 cubic meters), with a MgO backfill. The Yucca Mountain Site is located in southern Nevada approximately 160 kilometers northwest of Las Vegas. DOE is studying the suitability of Yucca Mountain as the nation's first potential repository for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level nuclear waste. Spent nuclear fuel originates mainly from commercial civilian reactors. The high-level radioactive wastes are vitrified products produced by US defense programs. Currently, according to legislation, the potential repository at Yucca Mountain is limited to 70,000 metric tons of waste. Yucca Mountain consists of an uplifted ridge of alternating layers of welded and non-welded volcanic silicic tuffs of Miocene age. At Yucca Mountain, DOE plans to dispose of the waste in bimetallic stainless steel and corrosion-resistant nickel-based alloy canisters. The waste will be emplaced in the unsaturated zone, within layers of welded tuff, below the ridge crest of Yucca Mountain an average of 300 meters, and ca. 300 meters above the water table. The earliest date a potential repository at Yucca Mountain could be constructed and ready to receive waste is 2010. This poster will compare and contrast the two U.S. deep geologic disposal programs.

T1 - The role of diffusion and its technical bases in the assessment of performance of the potential high-level waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
AN - 52118814; 2002-032481
AB - Advection and diffusion are used in the Department of Energy's (DOE's) performance assessment of the potential Yucca Mountain high-level radioactive waste repository to describe transport of radionuclides. Both physical characteristics of the potential repository site and the proposed repository design influence the extent to which diffusion occurs. Radionuclide movement via diffusion is modeled in three main areas by the DOE: transport through the engineered barrier system; transport in the unsaturated zone; and transport in the saturated zone. In the DOE's performance assessment radionuclide release from waste packages is diffusive until waste packages and drip shields are sufficiently degraded to allow advective flow into and out of waste packages. Currently the DOE models the diffusive release in a manner that maximizes the diffusive release from the package. Radionuclide transport through the welded tuffs in the unsaturated and saturated zones at Yucca Mountain is modeled by the DOE using an active fracture model. As a result of their current approach, matrix diffusion is an important radionuclide retardation mechanism in the unsaturated zone. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is an independent regulatory agency and evaluates the sufficiency of the DOE's performance assessments, including the supporting data. Where the NRC judges, based upon a risk-informed, performance-based approach, that the DOE's approach and technical bases is inadequate, the NRC requires that the DOE provide additional information. For each of the three main areas where diffusion is used by the DOE to model radionuclide transport the NRC has determined that additional technical bases are needed. Because the degradation geometry of waste packages controls whether diffusive or advective transport is dominant, the NRC has requested that the DOE provide additional data to support their characterization of the waste package degradation processes and the resultant geometry of the degradation. The NRC has requested additional information from the DOE to support its approach to matrix diffusion and retardation in the unsaturated and saturated zones. For instance, pre-test predictive analyses and test plans of proposed DOE field tests, which are designed to assess the extent of matrix diffusion, have been requested by the NRC.

AN - 52118601; 2002-036260
AB - Sludge samples from untreated and passively treated mine drainage discharges were characterized using INAA, ICP-AES, XRD and SEM. Iron content ranges from 25 to 68 dry wt%, and goethite is the dominant mineral (40-90 dry wt%). The majority of particles have a spiky spherical morphology (0.5-2.0 mu m diameter). Within several passive treatment systems, iron content remains relatively constant, and concentrations of Mn, Co, Ni, and Zn increase, while As concentration decrease.

T1 - Scatterscore method to evaluate changes in water quality
AN - 52114314; 2002-036252
AB - In Pennsylvania, water quality is monitored at mine sites remediated with coal combustion by-products (CCB), on a quarterly or annual basis. This produces extensive data files including values for 32 parameters that are difficult to evaluate for overall changes in water quality. Tracking a few major parameters, such as pH, Fe, or acidity, produces a complex data set that excludes other significant values. A quantitative measure of estimating if the overall change in water quality is an improvement, no significant change or deterioration should take into account all measured quantities. Since the variation in water quality parameters over time for this data set is not normally distributed, mean and standard deviation are not appropriate statistics. To assess the change in water quality at a site, a scatterscore evaluation was developed. In this reconnaissance method, a score is calculated based on the differences between up gradient (control) versus down gradient (treatment) water quality data sets. All parameters measured over a period of time at two sampling points are compared. The relationships between the range of measured values and the ratio of the medians for each parameter produces a data point that falls into one of four quadrants. Counting the number of values in each quadrant, multiplying by an appropriate weight and normalizing the final value produces a scatterscore that indicates the overall changes in water quality at mine sites where CCB were placed. This evaluation method, indicated that there was slight to moderate improvement in water quality at 30% of the CCB remediated sites and slight deterioration at 25% of the sites. The scatterscore at the remaining sites indicated random change in the measured parameters.

T1 - Comparison of cluster analysis methods for identifying regional seismic events
AN - 52095416; 2002-049254
AB - In recent years, nuclear explosion and non-proliferation monitoring have focused on smaller yield events, creating two major issues. First, smaller events are typically more difficult to detect and locate. Second, as characterized by the Richter/Gutenberg frequency of occurrence relation, there are many more small events than large events so the monitoring workload is exponentially increased. These issues represent a new challenge for the nuclear explosion monitoring community, but for regional network operators they are commonplace and, to a large extent, solved. These operators routinely locate and identify large numbers of events at least as small as those of interest to the monitoring community, often on the basis of as little as one waveform. The operators accomplish this seemingly impossible task by simply viewing and recognizing the similar waveforms from repeating seismic sources such as mines. Such an analyst-intensive, subjective process is not generally appropriate for nuclear explosion monitoring, but the effectiveness of this technique suggests that automated pattern recognition techniques could have a significant impact on monitoring. In this paper we will show how cluster analysis (CA) techniques can be used to automate the waveform recognition problem and compare the performance of different CA methods. Cluster analysis is the term for a family of techniques for aggregating similar entities into groups or clusters. In this study we compare three different CA techniques: agglomerative hierarchical clustering (represented by dendrograms), Q-mode factor analysis, and ordination. Our data set consists of 651 regional distance events recorded by the New Mexico Institute of Technology network from July 1997 through February 1998. The events are predominantly mining explosions from operations in western New Mexico, as well as southeast Arizona. Because we have full-network recordings for these events, we are able to locate events from within each cluster to tie the clusters to known mining regions. All of the cluster techniques are based on a similarity matrix formed by comparing each entity with every other entity. For this study, we base our measure of similarity on normalized waveform correlations for a single station. The resulting clusters depend strongly on the processing parameters applied to the waveforms (phase windowing, filtering, Hilbert enveloping). Our results suggest that dendrograms of the Hilbert enveloped waveforms produce the most useful results, while factor analysis may prove useful as an auxiliary technique. Ordination produced marginally useful results only after non-linear rescaling of the similarity data, and we do not think it shows promise with this type of data. None of the CA techniques automatically determine how many clusters are represented in the data. This decision is often made subjectively, but it can be based on the application of clustering criteria. We compared several proposed clustering criteria methods to determine which work the best for our data set, but none performed well in general.

T1 - InfraMAP propagation modeling enhancements and the study of recent Bolide event
AN - 52095231; 2002-049247
AB - Enhancements to the propagation modeling capabilities of the InfraMAP analysis tool kit are being developed in several areas. InfraMAP (Infrasound Modeling of Atmospheric Propagation) consists of three infrasound propagation models (3-D ray trace, normal mode, and parabolic equation), two atmospheric characterizations (HWM and MSISE), a global topography database, and user interfaces for model execution and data visualization. InfraMAP has been delivered to the research and development test bed and is currently being utilized by Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty researchers and analysts. Three specific types of InfraMAP enhancements are addressed here. First, a low-frequency absorption model has been integrated for use by both ray- and parabolic-equation (PE) propagation analyses. The absorption model predicts both classical (translation, diffusion) and relaxation (rotation, vibration) losses. Absorption is calculated from temperature, pressure, and atmospheric gas densities, which are determined using the environmental model MSISE. Second, a waveform synthesis capability has been integrated into the ray model. Eigenray solutions for a specific source-receiver scenario are used to synthesize a time-based waveform. A user-defined source waveform is convolved with weighted impulse functions at the eigenray arrival times. The impulse weighting is based upon a calculated absorption loss along each ray path. Finally, improved environmental variability modeling capabilities are being pursued to model the propagation variability induced by the environment. A sample from the Naval Research Laboratory atmospheric statistics database has been investigated for use in improving predictions of propagation variability. Propagation modeling studies have been performed for several recent bolide events, including the 1997 El Paso, Texas, bolide, the 2000 Acapulco bolide, the 2000 Yukon bolide and the 2001 Pacific bolide. Predicted absorption curves are compared to the spectra of observed waveforms. Nominal source localizations are computed from measured station azimuths. Enhanced localizations that correct for predicted azimuth deviation are also calculated for comparison. The dependence of eigenray arrival times on source height is shown to be a viable discriminator for source height estimation.

T1 - The NNSA ground-based nuclear explosion monitoring multi-region kriging model
AN - 52095071; 2002-049250
AB - The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Ground-Based Nuclear Explosion Monitoring (GNEM) multi-region kriging model provides a convenient mechanism for merging seismic statistical models developed specifically for bounded regions, over a much broader area in a smooth and continuous fashion. The method involves defining a set of kriging and travel-time model parameters within specific seismic provinces whose boundaries are defined by an enclosing polygon. Each polygon's boundary edges are further characterized using a set of transition blending functions that describe the reduction in influence of the polygon's statistical and model parameters as a point of interest moves from within the polygon boundary to outside the boundary. Spatial domains that are not covered by specific region-dependent polygons inherit a default set of kriging parameters and travel-time models. The entire collection of seismic provinces and the default region determine the extent of the multi-region model. Region-based statistical and model parameters are averaged at points of interest using an assigned weight based on the amount of influence exerted by each of the regions that are near the point of interest. The weights are normalized to the total influence exerted by all regions influencing the point of interest. Transitions at the vertices of the polygons are smoothed using a patching circle to ensure that the entire bounding influence transition is continuous and differentiable everywhere. With this approach, not only statistical model parameters such as kriging, correlation, shape, and range can be regionally integrated over a broad area, but so can region-dependent model parameters such as total travel time, ellipticity corrections, model variance, and bulk static corrections. In fact, any regional based parameter can be successfully deployed over the entire multi-region domain. Using this approach, a set of statistically distinct spatial regions can be combined into a single continuous interpolated surface for use by client applications that communicate with the NNSA Parametric Grid Library (PGL). Elements of the multi-region model are currently used by the NNSA Calibration Integration Tool (CIT) and the Client GNEM Interface (CGI) Library.

T1 - Application of physics-based underwater acoustic signal and array-processing techniques to infrasound-source localization
AN - 52094742; 2002-049244
AB - The purpose of this project is to apply physics-based signal and array processing techniques, recently developed in the area of underwater acoustics, to atmospheric infrasound data and co-located seismic field data. The source of the infrasound data is the newly installed International Monitoring System (IMS) infrasound station at Pinon Flat (PFO). The seismic data are being collected by the Southern California ANZA seismic network. Installation of the eight sensors that comprise the infrasound station at PFO was completed by mid April of this year. The space filters of the array (18 m for the inner centered triangle elements and 70 m for the outer centered triangle elements) also are nearly all in place. Preliminary data collected by this array contain some signals with significant spatial coherence across the array aperture. In particular, a large event with high signal-to-noise ratio was recorded on 23 April. Analyses of the arrival structure of this signal are presented in this paper. In addition, the spatial and temporal properties of the background noise in relation to the local environmental conditions are discussed. A focused experiment involving the temporary installation of additional infrasound sensors to provide larger array aperture is being planned for this summer. A description of the planned experiment is presented below.

T1 - A comparison of time- and frequency-domain amplitude measurements
AN - 52094425; 2002-049249
AB - We have been investigating regional body wave detection thresholds and seismic event identification methods. The basis of this research requires accurate phase and noise amplitude measurements, generally involving frequencies of about 1 Hz and higher [for example, P (sub n) /(0.75-1.5 Hz)]. Here, we examine the differences between amplitude measurements made in the time domain and measurements made in the frequency domain and how those differences might affect regional seismic discrimination and detection threshold estimates. We have worked with WMQ data for several years. We have retrieved and measured seismograms recorded at WMQ from about 1800 events from throughout central Asia for the years ranging from 1986 to 2000. Event-station distances range out to about 2500 km and event magnitudes range from about m (sub b) 2.5 to over 6.0. We measured WMQ BHZ seismograms over the P (sub n) , P (sub g) , S (sub n) , and L (sub g) phases using time domain root mean square (RMS) and frequency domain Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) methods. For RMS amplitude measurements, we use the instrument response to correct the entire seismogram into displacement. We then bandpass filter, cut the time-window based on velocity and event-station distance, and measure amplitude as a Log (sub 10) RMS value. For the spectral method, we cut the phase time-window from a seismogram that has been instrument-corrected into acceleration. We then taper, FFT, and divide by angular frequency twice to convert into displacement. We initially instrument-correct the seismogram into acceleration in an effort to reduce the large amplitudes of the longer period microseism relative to the shorter-periods that are of interest to us for discriminant tests. We smooth and resample the spectra at a rate of 0.05 Log (sub 10) frequency. To compare RMS and spectral amplitudes for a given event, phase, and band we average the displacement spectra over the same band used during the RMS procedure. When comparing the two methods, we convert the RMS amplitudes to pseudo-spectral amplitudes following Parseval's Theorem. In general, RMS amplitudes of all phases are slightly larger than the corresponding spectral amplitudes. This is because Log (sub 10) averaging of the spectral amplitudes emphasizes the higher frequencies within a band. These higher frequencies are lower in amplitude because of the "roll-off" in frequency of the seismic source and the greater attenuation at higher frequencies along the seismic path. The actual ratios obtained using the two methods tend to be nearly the same. This is because the small offsets in the RMS amplitudes relative to the spectral amplitudes are about the same for both phases, and the offsets therefore cancel when the RMS ratio is formed. We found that spectral measurements of short P (sub n) windows (out to event-station distances of about 700 km) are sometimes unusually large compared to the RMS measurements. This occurrence is most pronounced for low-magnitude events when the measurement window is short. Initially we assumed the problem was with our frequency-domain measurements, but we traced this occurrence to a delay introduced by applying a one-pass filter during the time-domain measurement procedure. The delay was moving the P (sub n) energy down the trace and outside of the measurement window. After changing to a two-pass filter, the RMS amplitudes closely matched the spectral amplitudes.

T1 - Discussion of reliable multicast development progress for the continuous data protocol
AN - 52094242; 2002-049255
AB - The International Monitoring System (IMS) seismic sensor data are currently collected using point-to-point networking protocols. Multicast communication allows a single transmission of the data from a sensor to be received by multiple sites (point-to-multipoint). This capability has the potential to improve fault tolerance and possibly efficiency of the sensor data collection and dissemination process. An experiment was conducted to demonstrate the collection and dissemination of seismic sensor data using reliable multicast communications. Telcordia and SAIC created a prototype multicast-capable version of the Continuous Data (CD-1) protocol as an experiment. This prototype version used the RMTP reliable multicast protocol available from Talarian Corporation to transport the sensor data. The experiment demonstrated that reliable multicast is a viable technology for use in transmitting the seismic data. The CD-1.1 protocol has since been developed and released. The CD-1.1 protocol incorporates many enhancements that make it better suited than the CD-1 protocol to the use of reliable multicast. Initial studies into the feasibility of implementing a reliable multicast version of the CD-1.1 protocol have begun. This paper provides an overview of the current progress in the study of the possible use of reliable multicast in the transmission of continuous data from IMS stations and the current state of reliable multicast development.

AB - The Automated Radioxenon Sampler/Analyzer (ARSA) and Radionuclide Aerosol Sampler/Analyzer (RASA) are radionuclide detection technologies developed by the Department of Energy (DOE)/National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Program at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory for monitoring for radionuclides in the atmosphere for signs of atmospheric and underground nuclear explosions. In March 2001, the ARSA completed an 18-month field test in Freiburg, Germany, as part of the International Noble Gas Experiment (INGE). During this test, the ARSA: - made over 1,200 automated measurements of (super 131m) Xe, (super 133) Xe, (super 133m) Xe, and (super 135) Xe, - had an up time of approximately 95%, and - achieved a minimum detectable concentration of about 0.10 to 0.15 mBq/m (super 3) 3 times per day for (super 133) Xe. By measurement of the relative concentrations of the xenon isotopes, we were able to determine with high confidence that reactors were the source of the radioxenon observed during this test. Analysis of nearly 1,700 RASA samples has shown that (super 7) Be is the only radionuclide with good quality-assurance properties likely to be detected at an International Monitoring System (IMS) radionuclide analysis laboratory. Concentration of (super 7) Be in approximately 70% of samples is adequate for an effective quality assurance program. The (super 7) Be half-life, energy, and typical atmospheric concentrations allow precise and relevant follow-up laboratory measurements. These results highlight the importance of station-to-station calibration and emphasize the need for inter-laboratory comparison exercises.

T1 - Regional GIS databases in support of CTBT monitoring
AN - 52093715; 2002-049257
AB - To fully exploit the effectiveness of different monitoring technologies, a large knowledge base is being built. A database encompassing basic geologic information such as bedrock geology, faults, and geophysical information needs to be collected and combined for many different regions. The specific regions that our study focuses on are the United States and the Middle East and North Africa. The interest in the United States is to develop a database that can be used in the CTBT to guide on-site inspections. For the Middle East and North Africa, improvement in monitoring to advance CTBT compliance and verification is desired. The objective is to collect, evaluate, and analyze geological, geophysical, and seismic data in a Geographic Information System database; and deliver files containing such data to DTRA. Currently, we have developed complete digital depth-to-Moho and depth-to-basement maps for the Middle East and North Africa region and evaluated them using 3-D gravity modeling. We have also made our first version of gridded depth-to-Moho and depth-to-basement maps of the United States. These data sets are now being evaluated and checked for accuracy and completeness. We have compiled an initial Lg attenuation map for the U.S. A first-order seismic velocity database consisting of Pn and Pg velocities in the U.S. is also being compiled along with geology and fault maps. Different types of databases are already collected and evaluated for the Middle East, North Africa, and the USA. An important component of our research is to develop complete metadata for all collected data sets. As we develop and finalize a data set, we are also developing a complete FGDC standard metadata files to accompany the digital data sets. These metadata files will be delivered along with the data sets to the R&D testbed at the Center for Monitoring Research. Most of the Cornell databases can be accessed via our web site: http://atlas.geo.cornell.edu/

T1 - Arrival structure of long-range propagation excited by finite amplitude source
AN - 52093679; 2002-049239
AB - We have studied the group and phase speed structure of long-range acoustic arrivals using linear acoustics. Here we present a preliminary study of some of these same paths but now we consider a higher amplitude source necessitating a nonlinear acoustic treatment. This research involves the eventual coupling of the Nonlinear Progressive Wave Equation (NPE) with an Adiabatic Normal Mode (ANM) Model. We use the ANM model (which has limited range-dependent capability) because our previous treatment for the linear problem was very revealing with respect to the physics of the arrival structure.

T1 - Three-dimensional modeling of the hydroacoustic to seismic T-phase transition
AN - 52093325; 2002-049236
AB - Plans call for five T-phase stations to be installed as part of hydroacoustic segment of the International Monitoring System (IMS), for use in detecting nuclear explosions in the oceans. The ability to detect T-phase signals at the seismic T-phase stations relies on an understanding of the transition from ocean-borne acoustic energy to seismic energy. Observations of the seismic T-phase indicates that the hydroacoustic energy may convert to either compressional or shear body waves, or to highly-attenuative interface waves that can be observed near the ocean/land boundary. Previous 2-D modeling efforts have shown that T-phase amplitudes depend strongly on the velocity structure of the seafloor and land portion of the propagation path, as well as the depth of the source within the water column. However, Snell's law indicates that 3-D effects, i.e. the angle of incidence to the coast, must also be considered in modeling the acoustic-to-seismic transmission. In this paper, we model upslope propagation of acoustic energy at a sloping wedge using a 3-D finite-difference time-stepping (3D-FDTD) method. We synthesize both vertical and horizontal velocity waveforms for sources at varying angles of incidence to the ocean/land boundary. We investigate the dependence of signal characteristics on both seismic velocities and source direction. Although the 3-D model simulations are both simple and small-scale, the following conclusions may be made based on this work. For high slopes at the ocean/land interface, T-phase amplitudes on land increase with increasing seafloor slope. This contradicts previous results computed using 2D modeling at lower slope values. T-phase amplitudes on land are strongly dependent on seafloor velocity, with lower amplitudes resulting from higher seafloor velocities. T-phase amplitudes on land drop off rapidly with increasing angle of incidence of the acoustic phase to the shoreline, then level off past the critical angle. For reflected waves recorded on hydrophones, the amplitude ratio of the reflected to the direct acoustic arrivals increases with both increasing angle of incidence at the shoreline and with increasing impedance mismatch between ocean and land.

T1 - LLNL Middle East, North Africa and western Eurasia seismic research database
AN - 52093201; 2002-049252
AB - The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) component of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Ground-Based Nuclear Explosion Monitoring Research and Engineering (GNEM R&E) program has made significant progress populating a comprehensive Seismic Research Database (SRDB) to be used for deriving calibration parameters for the Middle East, North Africa and Western Eurasia (ME/NA/WE) regions. The LLNL SRDB provides not only a coherent framework in which to store and organize very large volumes of collected seismic waveforms, associated event parameter information, and spatial contextual data, but also provides an efficient data processing/research environment for deriving location and discrimination correction surfaces. The SRDB is a flexible and extensible framework consisting of a relational database (RDB), Geographical Information System (GIS), and associated product/data visualization and data management tools. This SRDB framework is designed to accommodate large volumes of data (almost 3 million waveforms from 57,000 events) in diverse formats from many sources (both LLNL-derived research and integrated contractor products), in addition to maintaining detailed quality control and metadata. We have developed expanded lookup tables for critical station parameter information (including location and response) and an integrated and reconciled event catalog data set (including specification of preferred origin solutions and associated phase arrivals) for the PDE, CMT, ISC, REB and selected regional catalogs. Using the SRDB framework, we are combining travel-time observations, event characterization studies, and regional tectonic models to assemble a library of ground-truth information and phenomenology (e.g. travel-time and amplitude) correction surfaces required for support of the ME/NA/WE regionalization program. We also use the SRDB to integrate data and research products from a variety of sources, such as contractors and universities, to merge and maintain quality control of the data sets. Corrections and parameters distilled from the LLNL SRDB provide essential contributions to the National Nuclear Security Administration Knowledge Base (NNSA KB) for the ME/NA/WE region and will improve capabilities for underground nuclear explosion monitoring. The LLNL information products will facilitate calibration of International Monitoring System (IMS) stations (primary and auxiliary), their surrogates (if not yet installed) and selected gamma stations necessary to complete the ME/NA/WE regionalization efforts. In addition to an overview of selected individual information products, we present an overview of our visualization, integration, validation, and organizational processes. Development of these processes and the LLNL SRDB was necessitated by both the very large amount of data and information involved, over 2 terabytes, and the varied data and research result formats utilized. Products assembled, integrated and validated using the LLNL SRDB are grouped into 5 major categories: 1. Reference and Contextual Information 2. Detection Data 3. Calibration and Ground Truth Data 4. Event Location Products 5. Event Identification Products.

T1 - Nuclear Sources and Assets Database (NUSAD) development
AN - 52093009; 2002-049256
AB - The Nuclear Sources and Assets Database (NUSAD) has been developed and is being maintained by the Atmospheric Radionuclide Monitoring Program at the Center for Monitoring Research (CMR). NUSAD is an Oracle-based database that contains information regarding nuclear sources and assets throughout the world. A source is any facility that could potentially release radionuclides and an asset is any device that can detect radionuclides. The database can be accessed through the NUSAD Geographical Display Tool (GDT). The GDT is a graphical user interface that provides users not only the capability to view, enter, and modify NUSAD data but also to geographically visualize the data on configurable maps. The NUSAD GDT consists of the ArcIMS geographical information system (GIS) coupled with NUSAD and specialized Java-based software. The database and the GDT will be used to assist in identifying the source of radionuclides found in data from the International Data Centre (IDC) and other institutions. This paper describes the data contained in NUSAD and demonstrates the capabilities of the NUSAD GDT.

T1 - Using atmospheric (super 137) Cs measurements and HYSPLIT to confirm Chernobyl as a source of (super 137) Cs in Europe
AN - 52092957; 2002-049243
AB - The Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident released considerable amounts of radioactive material into the environment, including a large amount of (super 137) Cs. A large fraction of the (super 137) Cs was deposited on the ground in the surrounding areas. Two atmospheric monitoring stations that contribute data to the Prototype International Data Centre (PIDC), one in Stockholm, Sweden, and the other in Helsinki, Finland, routinely measure (super 137) Cs. It is believed that the source of this (super 137) Cs is the ground contaminated by the Chernobyl accident. The PIDC routinely uses HYSPLIT (HYbrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory) atmospheric modeling software to determine probable source locations of radionuclides detected during normal operations. In this paper, HYSPLIT was used in conjunction with the data from the PIDC to more firmly establish the link between Chernobyl and (super 137) Cs measurements. The results indicate that an air mass containing (super 137) Cs has a higher likelihood of having recently been in the Chernobyl area than an air mass that does not contain (super 137) Cs. The inverse seems true also: an air mass that does not contain (super 137) Cs is far less likely to have been in the vicinity of Chernobyl in the recent past. These results, while not definitive, are very encouraging. The results also improve the confidence in HYSPLIT.

T1 - Infrasound detection of large mining blasts in Kazakhstan
AN - 52091657; 2002-049246
AB - Since October, 1997, we have recorded infrasound signals at Kurchatov, Kazakstan, from large mining blasts in Kazakstan and the Altay-Sayan region, Siberia. Kurchatov is an ideal site for research on infrasound and application of synergistic (seismic and acoustic) methods of event discrimination. This is because it operates a 21-element short-period seismic array and a three-component broadband seismographic station and because of its close proximity to large (100+ ton) mining operations. Several large mines in the region routinely carry out large explosions that are detected seismically and with infrasound. The mines range in distance from 80 to 750 km from the infrasound array. The Ekibastuz mine, 250 km west of the array, regularly produces 4-6 seismic detections per day. The corresponding number of infrasound detections is found to be dependent upon the season and the local winds. During the winter months, when the direction of the zonal component of the stratospheric wind is from west to east, a strong stratospheric duct develops between Ekibastuz and Kurchatov and the number of infrasound detections is high. During this period the infrasound signal consists of two arrivals separated by about 60 s. A preliminary interpretation of these signals is that the first arrival at 250 km distance propagates through the troposphere and is followed 60 s later by a stratospheric arrival. During the summer months, when the zonal winds reverse direction, the number of infrasound detections is low. In March 1999, we installed a three-element infrasound array with about 2-km sensor spacing at Kurchatov. Two of the elements consist of Globe microphones connected to noise-reduction hose and pipe arrays, while the third is actually a small array comprised of several Soviet-built, low-frequency microphones (K-301A) connected to various noise-reducing pipe configurations. In the winter of 2000, we also installed a three-element infrasound array with about 2-km sensor spacing at Borovoye, northern Kazakstan. We have compiled infrasound signals from mine blasts since 1999 at these sites in Kazakstan in order to understand the character of infrasound signals produced by regional mine blasts and the nature of infrasound propagation at high latitudes. We are currently analyzing signals from 1999 recorded by the new large arrays. Preliminary analysis of signals recorded during spring, 1999, by the larger aperture array suggests that the larger array results in improved infrasound detection of Ekibastuz mine blasts and improved discrimination of non-acoustic noise. The data from the new large aperture arrays also confirms identification of infrasound signals believed to be produced by events in the Kuzbass mining region of Siberia, over 700 km away from Kurchatov.

T1 - Bolides and other infrasound events
AN - 52091537; 2002-049248
AB - During the past year, we have processed infrasound data from at least 13 bolide events, including the important recent events of 23 April 2001 and 25 August 2000. Bolides represent a source of significant natural impulsive signals that can be detected by infrasound arrays and networks and may not have detections by other technologies. As more International Monitoring System (IMS) infrasound stations come online, detections of these events will increase. Analysis of these multiple-station event detections will allow tuning of detection and location algorithms. Work by various groups on the April 2001 event already has shown this. We will present data from all 13 events, detected by one to eight stations (not all of which are IMS); however, more detailed results will be made for the 4/23/01 and 8/25/00 events for which some space-based data have been released. Some results on the bolide events will illustrate the features of Infra_tool, an infrasound analysis tool for use within MATSEIS. We will also review some recent work and analysis of infrasound from earthquakes observed with Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) arrays. This data set illustrates the value of using wind-corrected amplitudes in the analysis: These natural impulsive events have many of the characteristics of interest to the IMS. Such data will be essential for exercising and refining detection and location algorithms and thus calibrating the infrasound network.

T1 - Seismic calibration and discrimination in Northeast Russia
AN - 52080291; 2002-068896
AB - In an effort to obtain ground truth (GT) classifications in support of nuclear explosion monitoring for continental regions of northeastern Russia, we relocated and assigned GT classifications to 118 seismic events reported in the International Seismological Centre (ISC) supplemented with previously unavailable local data. Of the relocated events, 26 events are classified as GT10. From these events, consistent patterns of residuals, essentially source-specific station corrections (SSSC's), show upper mantle velocities are elevated under the Siberian platform and slower below the northern Sea of Okhotsk. To further improve calibration capabilities in northeast Russia, we have been analyzing data from a small network of digital seismic stations deployed in the Magadan region. The stations are located close to areas of both tectonic seismicity and active mining, thus record signals from both. We have been undertaking routine phase time picking and hypocenter determination of both local and near regional seismic events and confirmed/suspected mine explosions. Using waveforms of both tectonic events and mine blasts, we have begun the process of explosion discrimination using amplitude ratios of various Lg frequencies. Preliminary results indicate that the ratio Lg(4-8 Hz)/Lg(0.75-1.5 Hz) using peak amplitudes may not be sufficient to discriminate mining explosions from earthquakes in northeast Russia. Additional, more comprehensive research is underway. We have undertaken efforts to acquire improved ground truth data for both earthquakes and explosions. In January 2001 two moderate earthquakes occurred approximately 100 km west of Magadan. We deployed two temporary stations to investigate the aftershock sequences of both events. About 15 events were locate-able although several more were recorded. To obtain ground truth data for explosions, we have deployed temporary stations and recorded quarry blasts near Magadan, and are currently undertaking an experiment to record explosions at a coal mine several hundred kilometers north of Magadan.

T1 - Results of 1-D location calibration studies related to the territory of northern Eurasia
AN - 52080247; 2002-068895
AB - During the last three years, new regional travel-time tables for different geotectonic provinces of Northern Eurasia were developed in the framework of the Russian Seismoacoustic Research for Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) Monitoring project. One of the main objectives of the project is to calibrate travel times for regional seismic waves travelling to the seismic stations of the Russian Academy of Sciences included in the International Monitoring System (IMS). The territory of Northern Eurasia was initially subdivided into 13 provinces based on the results of the analysis of Pn travel times as well as taking into account recently published papers on seismic and tectonic regionalization of Northern Eurasia. We presented newly developed travel-time tables for different geotectonic provinces at the 21st and 22nd Seismic Research Symposiums. Upon completion the effort on collection and analysis of travel-time data for 13 studied provinces, we came to the conclusion that the territory of Northern Eurasia may be subdivided as follows: only three large geotectonic provinces for Pn and Sn phases (platform areas, paleozoic massifs and young platform as well as tectonically active regions); only two provinces for Pg phase and the only province for Lg phase. We present the recent regionalization of Northern Eurasia for our 1-D location calibration studies as well as newly constructed travel-time tables and their comparison with the IASPEI-91 tables. Also, source-specific station corrections (SSSCs) for the stations of the RAS included in the IMS are presented as well as their comparison with SSSCs developed by other research groups. In the framework of our project performance we review recently published and historical data on peaceful nuclear explosions (PNE) in the former USSR. In the result we concluded that ISC location estimates for the number of PNEs are subjects of large (from about 20 km to 40 km and even more) errors. Details of our analyses are presented. The newly constructed travel-time tables as well as their modeling errors were used for tests on re-location of the underground nuclear explosions in the former Soviet Union. A comparison between the mislocation estimates for the newly constructed travel-time tables, the IASPEI-91 travel-time tables and the ISC results is presented. We conclude that the newly developed 1-D regional travel-time tables are an effective tool to be used for seismic source location in Northern Eurasia.

T1 - 3-D crustal structure in Southwestern China
AN - 52080217; 2002-068888
AB - Using P and S arrival data of 4,625 local and regional earthquakes recorded at 174 seismic stations and associated geophysical investigations, we present a 3-D crustal and upper mantle velocity structure of southwestern China (21 degrees -34 degrees N, 97 degrees -105 degrees E). Southwestern China lies in the transition zone between the uplifted Tibetan plateau to the west and the Yangtze continental platform to the east. In the upper crust, a positive anomaly velocity zone exists in the Sichuan basin, whereas a large-scale negative anomaly velocity zone exists in the western Sichuan plateau, which is consistent with the upper crustal structure under the Tibetan Plateau. The boundary between these two positive and negative anomaly zones is the Longmen Shan fault. The Tengchong volcanic region, as well as the strike-slip faults such as the Xianshuihe fault, the Anninghe fault, the northern segment of the Red River fault, and the southern segment of the Xiaojiang fault, are in areas with a negative anomaly zone in the upper crust. In the mid-crustal depth, we found that there is a general consistency between the negative velocity anomaly and seismicity. The negative velocity anomalies at the depth of 50 km in the Tengchong volcanic area and the Panxi tectonic zone appear to be associated with the temperature and composition variations in the upper mantle. The Red River fault is the boundary between the positive and negative velocity anomalies at 50-km depth. The overall features of the crustal and the upper mantle structures in southwestern China are the low average velocity, the large crustal thickness variations, the existence of a high conductivity layer in the crust or/and upper mantle, and a high geothermal value. All these features are closely related to the collision between the Indian and the Asian plates.

T1 - Validation of generation of reference events by cluster analysis
AN - 52079815; 2002-068909
AB - High-resolution cluster analysis (multiple-event relocation) of earthquakes and other seismic sources is developed as a tool for assembling catalogs of reference events, especially those whose locations can be determined with an accuracy of 5 km or better [Ground Truth (GT) 5]. We use the Hypocentroidal Decomposition (HDC) method of Jordan and Sverdrup (1981), which is well suited to the rigorous statistical analysis required for this task. Candidate reference events typically arise from local seismic networks and from temporary deployments for aftershock studies that can yield very high-resolution hypocenters that, nevertheless, must be validated. We utilize arrival time data (as reported to the International Seismological Centre and to the U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center) at regional and teleseismic distances in the cluster analysis to validate candidate reference events, and in some cases, to generate new reference events. HDC analyses have now been performed on a number of earthquake and explosion sequences in Eurasia and Africa, resulting in reference events with locations known to GT5 accuracy. In this paper we review and evaluate our analyses of these clusters to date, and address problem areas. In particular, we find that some candidate reference events cannot be validated because either the reported local network solutions are in error, or the coverage of reported arrival times used in the HDC analysis is not sufficient to constrain the locations. Some discrepancies may arise when local networks locate small precursors or low-energy early stages of rupture in larger earthquakes, while teleseismic stations record only the main pulse of energy release. We have found several cases in which there appear to be systematic biases in the time base used for local network solutions. In another case, we obtained "reference event" locations from two different sources for the same cluster. The two sets are similar enough that HDC cannot be used to discriminate between them, yet different enough to prevent either set from being accepted at GT5 accuracy. Our experiences highlight the importance of a thorough and many-faceted validation program for candidate reference events.

Recent studies have shown that combination of regional seismic phases with teleseismic phases can greatly increase location accuracy; however, for this to be the case, the velocity structure has to be well resolved on a fine scale. The most efficient method to accomplish this task is development of multi-resolution models using local (but smooth) basis functions that increase in resolution from regions with sparse data coverage to regions of dense coverage. This paper reports on recent results from an ongoing project designed to bridge the gap between regional and global seismic tomography and achieve correspondingly incremental improvements in event location. We have previously developed a moderately high-resolution global model (equivalent to spherical harmonic degree 18) using local spline functions. This model improves locations using teleseismic phases over other more finely parameterized models (Antolik et al., 2001). Here we extend the same techniques to simultaneous development of more detailed regional models for inclusion within the global model. We describe progress in constructing a new regional model of the Africa/Mediterranean region which makes use of surface wave dispersion data, regional travel times and waveforms, and teleseismic phase arrivals. This model also incorporates shear wave anisotropy and agrees well with other published models for the region. Other regions for which we intend to develop combined regional/global models include the former Soviet Union and North America. Tomographic models can also be vastly improved through the use of sources with calibrated travel-time data (i.e., reference events with accurately known locations). However, the current database of such events still suffers from sparse coverage (particularly in oceanic regions). A parallel element of the current project includes improvement of event locations on mid-ocean ridges by making use of focal mechanisms and accurate bathymetry. We have developed a database of some 1500 large events and are expanding to smaller events using the Joint Hypocentral Determination technique. We present the results along with experiments designed to test the accuracy of these locations.

T1 - LLNL Detection Program; broad area characterization of phase detectability and empirical detectors for specific sources
AN - 52079034; 2002-068912
AB - LLNL detection research addresses two technical issues: detectability of seismic phases over broad regions and specialized algorithms for detecting events originating at specific sources. The detectability of seismic phases underpins the applicability and performance of discrimination and location algorithms by determining which phase observations are likely to contribute to discriminant and event location calculations. Seismic phase detectability is a function of expected phase signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which, for a particular station, is a function of the phase amplitude spectrum and the noise spectrum at the station. We represent (map) phase amplitudes over broad regions for any given station with empirical (kriged) corrections superimposed on base values determined from an MDAC model. MDAC, which stands for Magnitude Distance Amplitude Correction, is a phase amplitude model that combines a source spectrum model, geometric spreading and attenuation. Ultimately, phase amplitude maps and station noise spectra will determine the geographic distribution of phase observation probabilities. These probabilities, in turn, determine the likelihood that data for particular discriminants will be available and should allow the construction of maps delimiting the geographic range of applicability of those discriminants. The second technical issue concerns the detection of events occurring at discrete sources, such as mines. This issue is of monitoring interest because mining explosions must be discriminated from earthquakes and nuclear explosions. The need for an efficient screen is particularly acute in mining districts, where explosions dominate event detections at observing stations. The same screening technique can be used to build reference populations of explosions for designing and testing other discriminant algorithms. Frequently, mining sources produce repetitive signals, a signal structure that can be exploited to increase dramatically the probability of detection at a given false alarm rate. The classical solution to problems of detecting known signals is the matched filter, which correlates a template waveform against a continuous data stream to detect occurrences of that waveform. However, signals from repetitive seismic sources often exhibit significant variation that degrades matched filter performance. Our solution to this problem is to use subspace detectors, which replace the matching template with a suite (subspace) of templates that are combined linearly to match occurrences of variable signals from a particular source. We outline template subspace design procedures that maximize the probability of detection for a fixed false alarm rate by varying the dimension of the subspace.

T1 - Investigation of the partitioning of source and receiver-site factors on the variance of regional P/S amplitude ratio discriminants
AN - 52079004; 2002-068904
AB - In this project, we are investigating problems associated with applying regional-phase amplitude ratios, such as Pn/Sn or Pn/Lg ratios, for discrimination of explosions and earthquakes for monitoring the CTBT. Using multiple array recordings of groups of events in the same source region, the factors that contribute bias or the scatter of P/S ratio measurements after correction for path effects are characterized. These factors include both receiver site effects and source mechanism effects on P/S ratios. The study of site effects will be focused on arrays where we have seen site variations in P/S ratios, including the Scandinavian regional arrays (NORES, FINES, ARCES, FINES), and other new arrays in the International Monitoring System (IMS). The variance in the P/S ratio around regional arrays and large aperture arrays reveals the extent to which site affects cause variations in P/S ratios around different arrays in different regions. The partitioning of the variance between source, path, and receiver effects is examined by analysis of variance (ANOVA). We have performed an initial study of a group of presumed underwater explosions in the Gulf of Bothnia recorded by regional arrays in Scandinavia. We find that P/S and P/S amplitude ratios vary by as much as a factor of 3 around the FINES and NORES arrays, with apertures of 3 km, as well as similar variations for the different sources. These variations appear to be driven by variations in Pn and Pg amplitudes, whereas Lg amplitudes appear to be more stable. For source mechanism effects, we have been concentrating on earthquakes in the Zagros thrust belt of Western Iran, where, in a previous study, azimuthal variations in P/S ratios have been observed. Regional P/S ratios have been measured on these events and ANOVA is being used to determine to what extent the azimuthal variance can be partitioned between source effects, including focal mechanism and depth of focus, and propagation path effects. The results of this study will quantify the factors, other than propagation-path effects, that may bias the use of P/S ratios for seismic discrimination and provide a priori estimates of site variance for discrimination techniques.

T1 - Application of joint receiver-function surface-wave dispersion for local structure in Eurasia
AN - 52078969; 2002-068892
AB - Subsurface geology generally has a broad wave number spectrum containing sharp, or high wave-number, changes in velocity near major geologic boundaries and smooth low wave-number variations in regions of relatively uniform geologic structure. Access to the full spectrum of earth structure requires that we exploit signals that span a wide frequency range and that are sensitive to the entire spectrum of heterogeneity. Our research is targeted at improving resolution of the full range of earth heterogeneity by combining seismic data sets traditionally analyzed separately. We will present the results of our efforts to combine teleseismic P-wave receiver functions and surface-wave dispersion measurements in a joint inversion for the variation in shear-wave velocity with depth in the lithosphere. Receiver functions are primarily sensitive to shear-wave velocity contrasts and vertical travel times, whereas surface-wave dispersion measurements are sensitive to vertical shear-wave velocity averages. Their combination bridges resolution gaps associated with each individual data set. The data are inverted using a joint, linearized inversion scheme which accounts for the relative influence of each set of observations, and allows a trade-off between fitting the observations, constructing a smooth model, and matching a priori constraints. Receiver functions are readily calculated using P-waveforms from distant earthquakes, and waves arriving from different directions can provide information on lateral variations in earth structure. Intermediate- to long-period dispersion values are available from global and regional tomographic studies and can be supplemented at the shortest periods using direct measurements from recordings from nearby events (when they are available). We will illustrate our work using applications to station TAM in North Africa and Eurasia (several portable stations in Tibet, station KIV, NIL, ABKT, BRVK, KURK, and WUS). Naturally, the inversion results depend on the quality of the data, and we are also investigating the changes in earth structure parameters that result from using dispersion values from different tomographic studies. To test the estimated earth models, we compare high-frequency regional-distance synthetic seismograms and regional earthquake waveforms.

T1 - Development of improved capabilities for depth determination
AN - 52078683; 2002-068910
AB - The objective of this research is to develop improved procedures and criteria for identification and validation of seismic depth phases. This effort includes: (1) inspection of waveforms for events in the Reviewed Event Bulletin (REB) to determine whether depth phases have been identified properly; (2) evaluation of existing procedures and criteria for depth-phase validation; (3) development of statistical methods to quantify the moveout of pP-P and sP-P, accounting for timing uncertainties; (4) investigation of techniques to improve depth-phase identification (i.e., F-detector, optimal frequency/filtering tool, and the relative amplitude (RAMP) technique as a test of whether teleseismic P and depth phases fit a double-couple mechanism); and (5) implementation, testing, evaluation, and delivery of software capabilities for improved depth-phase identification and validation to the Center for Monitoring Research (CMR). We have implemented a method to compute confidence intervals of pP-P and sP-P moveout. We have applied it to 1342 REB events with observed depth phases to determine the percentage of such events with a 90% confidence interval of moveout greater than various thresholds (e.g., 0.0, 1.0, 1.5 seconds). The results indicate that this method is more effective for determining whether depth phases exhibit moveout than requiring the time difference of pP-P at the nearest station beyond 25 degrees and the farthest station within 100 degrees be greater than 1.5 seconds, a criterion currently used at the CMR. Specifically, 425 of 1342 events (32%) have positive moveout at the 90% confidence level, while 281 of 1342 events (21%) satisfy the latter criterion. In addition, we have found that the moveout confidence intervals are more robust to phase timing errors. For many REB depth-phase events, a limited number of observed depth phases and significant scatter in the pP-P and sP-P travel-time differences often cause the moveout confidence intervals to be too large to confidently determine that the moveout is greater than a given threshold. Also, the overwhelming majority of REB events (about 88%) do not have any associated depth phases. To increase the number of detected depth phases and reduce the scatter associated with timing errors, we have investigated the utility of the F-detector (e.g, Blandford, 1974), a signal processing technique that dramatically amplifies signals that are correlated among array elements, while suppressing uncorrelated noise. Using statistical properties of the F-detector, a probability trace (i.e., time series) may be computed indicating whether filtered signals are significantly correlated across an array at a given time. Preliminary results indicate that the F-detector finds many depth phases that were missed by analysts and may provide a more objective approach for determining onset times of P, pP, and sP. We have also found, as in previous studies of the F-detector, that the frequency bands must be tuned for a given array to account for its aperture and ambient noise characteristics. We have also applied the Relative Amplitude (RAMP) algorithm (e.g., Pearce et al., 1988) to REB events with observed depth phases to determine whether relative amplitudes of teleseismic P, pP, and sP are consistent with double-couple focal mechanisms. We present results of these applications and describe plans to complete these investigations and develop appropriate capabilities into operational analysis tools.

T1 - Tomography and location problems in China using regional travel-time data
AN - 52078652; 2002-068891
AB - Phase data from the Annual Bulletin of Chinese Earthquakes (ABCE) are being collected and used for tomographic inversion and event location problems within China. So far, we have seven years of data in computer form and six more in catalog form. Current efforts focus on regional tomography of China, comparing locations between the ABCE and other earthquake catalogs, and developing station corrections for International Monitoring System (IMS) stations in and around China. We used the Pn phase data from the ABCE catalog to image the uppermost mantle velocity and anisotropy structure beneath China. Raypaths cover most of central and eastern China; coverage in western China and Tibet is poor. The data quality is exceptional, with Pn phases routinely identified and picked for distances from 1.5 to 9 degrees. Over 25,000 arrivals have been used in the Pn tomography algorithm. The average uppermost mantle velocity beneath China is 8.0 km/s. The Tarim, Junggar, Tsidam, and Sichuan basins have the highest Pn velocities (over 8.2 km/s). These places are cratonic terrains that were accreted to southern Asia before the Indian-Asian collision. The high velocities imply higher density mantle that may have aided in the development of these basins. The eastern Tien Shan has normal Pn velocities of 8.0 to 8.1 km/s. Pn velocity beneath Tibet decreases from south to north as previous studies have also found. late station delays in and around Tibet attest to its 70-km thick crust. Along the southeastern Tibet margin, low Pn velocities are found, suggesting that high temperatures and possible partial melt exist in the uppermost mantle there. A region of high anisotropy surrounds Tibet. Eastern China has lower Pn velocities and thinner crust as a result of Cenozoic extension of eastern China. A very low Pn velocity (<7.7 km/s) is found north of Hainan Island. This feature may be related to the opening of the South China Sea. We made regional travel-time plots for the ten CDSN stations in China. Two of these stations, BJI and HLR, are now IMS stations. Thus, these travel-time curves can be used for event location. Average Pg, Pn, Sg, and Sn velocities beneath these Chinese stations are 6.1 km/s, 8.0 km/s, 3.5 km/s, and 4.5 km/s respectively.

T1 - Monitoring of seismic events in the central Andean region
AN - 52078543; 2002-068908
AB - Where the crust of the earth is very thick, for example in the Andean region of South America, the locations and depths of seismic events given by reporting agencies are systematically wrong, because these agencies use models of the earth with crusts of 24-, 33- and 35-km thickness, whereas the earth's crust in western Bolivia reaches a thickness of 72 km. In addition, the International Data Centre commences its location of events in the central Andean region with a location from the Yellowknife array in western Canada. By this method it is difficult to read accurately the arrivals of events of magnitude less than 4. We have used local seismic stations in the region of Bolivia and a three-dimensional model to locate seismic events in the central Andean region. We use the Podvin-Lecomte method to calculate the least-time paths from points in the grid to the seismic stations and the maximum of the Tarantola-Valette probability density function to calculate the seismic event location. Our grid spacing is 5 km and we make an iteration at one tenth of 5 km. Our assumption of a P- to S-wave velocity ratio of 1.76 means that the least-time paths of P and S waves are the same, but clearly, under the Western Cordillera, this assumption is also systematically wrong. Between latitudes of 15 and 28 degrees S, we have noticed that the larger, active (since the beginning of the Holocene) volcanoes are approximately over the revised 125-km depth contour of the Nazca slab. We are strongly reducing S-wave velocities in this part of the model. Also, recent work with P-to-S converted seismic waves has shown a 10- to 20-km thick intra-crustal low-velocity zone extending from the Eastern Cordillera, where the Brazil Shield is underthrusting, to the Altiplano in Bolivia and the Puna in Argentina. We are reducing P- and S-wave velocities in this extensive intra-crustal region also.

AB - One component of nuclear explosion monitoring (NEM) research and engineering (R&E) is directed at the development of mathematical techniques that take full advantage of all information in a seismic signal. Regularized Discrimination Analysis (RDA) is a multivariate seismic event identification method that can be applied to a number of highly correlated regional discriminants. The parametric formulation of RDA includes Linear Discrimination (LDA), Quadratic discrimination (QDA) and Euclidean distance-based nearest-neighbor discrimination. We present methods to optimally select RDA parameters. Error propagation is another focus area in the NNSA NEM R&E program. The detection and timing of seismic arrivals play a critical role in the ability to locate seismic events, especially at low magnitude. Errors can occur with the determination of the timing of the arrivals, whether these errors are made by automated processing or by an analyst. One of the major obstacles encountered in properly estimating travel-time picking error is the lack of a clear and comprehensive discussion of all of the factors that influence phase picks. We have developed a multivariate statistical model, experimental design, and analysis strategy that can be used in this study. We have embedded a general form of the International Data Centre (IDC)/U.S. National Data Center (USNDC) phase pick measurement error model into our statistical model. We can use this statistical model to optimally calibrate a picking error model to regional data. We also present work on the development of statistical methodologies for comparing effects of station-specific correction surfaces on predicted seismic event locations and event location uncertainty from network model Monte Carlo simulation runs. Research and development work includes the investigation of Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) to design Monte Carlo simulation runs, the development of appropriate statistical models to describe travel-time correction surface errors, and the proper simulation of errors in phase identification and association processes. Also under investigation are statistics-based methods for visualizing and assessing differences between event locations and location uncertainty from different correction surfaces in network model simulations.

T1 - Development of calibration datasets for southern Asia
AN - 52078474; 2002-068887
AB - We have recently initiated the collection of waveform and event catalog datasets for seismic stations in southern Asia, spotlighting the Indian subcontinent, as high-quality regional data for this region continues to be lacking. In the initial phase of our database development, we have focused on the compilation of readily available regional waveform datasets from different sources. In subsequent phases, we will obtain local and regional network bulletins through on-going interactions with our Cambridge University and Indian colleagues. To date, we have collected broadband waveforms from over 1000 events with m (sub b) >4.0, as listed in the Prototype International Data Center (pIDC) Reviewed Event Bulletin (REB) between 01 January 1995 and 01 January 2000 as recorded on the GEOSCOPE station HYB. This station, currently operated by the National Geophysical Research Institute of India, has been in operation in south central India since 1989. We have also started assembling a waveform database for over 300 events recorded on the short-period Gauribidanur (GBA) array between 01 January 1995 and 27 July 1996. The data recorded at HYB and GBA, which are very high quality, supplemented with current studies in the region, will be used to develop improved velocity models as well as to highlight regional propagation effects that can be used for calibrating the stations in the region for future nuclear monitoring efforts. The final product will be an extensive, comprehensive waveform database that can be used to: 1) develop improved velocity models needed for enhanced location capability and 2) increase understanding of regional wave propagation, which is critically important for the development and validation of discriminants for this region of high monitoring interest.

T1 - Short period group velocity measurements and maps in Central Asia
AN - 52078378; 2002-068915
AB - The purpose of this study is to improve group velocity maps designed to advance the detection and discrimination capabilities for the area encompassed by western China, northern India, and Pakistan. These maps may be used to construct sharply tuned phase-matched filters for extracting weak surface wave signals from background noise and to make better estimates of surface wave spectral magnitudes for small events. We are working now to obtain a greatly expanded data set of short-period measurements (7-15 s). We have analyzed seismograms following approximately 1,000 events that occurred in and around the studied region from 1996-1999. We obtained about 6,000 short-period dispersion curves for Rayleigh and 4,000 curves for Love waves. We added these measurements to existing dispersion curves and estimated a refined set of dispersion maps on a one-degree grid worldwide. Here we present preliminary refined group velocity maps from 10-s to 18-s periods. Improvements produced by the new data set are mostly at the shorter end of this period band in Central Asia.

T1 - Identification of rockbursts and other mining events using regional signals at international monitoring system stations
AN - 52078362; 2002-068905
AB - Rockbursts present some unique challenges for seismic event identification at low-magnitude monitoring thresholds. Teleseismic discriminants, including traditional determination of focal depth and M (sub s) -versus-m (sub b) , are not likely to work for these types of sources. Since many rockbursts are small, their identification depends heavily on observations from a few regional stations. This research program is designed to identify rockburst regions with respect to their significance to nuclear test monitoring, assess the capability of prototype International Data Centre (PIDC)/IDC screening procedures for application in rockburst regions worldwide, and determine ways to improve event identification for such mining regions. During the time period from 1995 to 2000, more than 1100 events were reported in the Reviewed Event Bulletin (REB) within 50 km of 43 historical rockburst sites. Most of these had magnitudes in the range 3 to 4. No REB events were located in proximity to 61 other rockburst sites, although small events (below the REB threshold) may be occurring in those areas. Waveform data from regional International Monitoring System (IMS) stations for Reviewed Event Bulletin (REB) events in each rockburst area are being collected and analyzed. For many of these events, we have been able to establish better ground truth information using local and regional seismic bulletins or, in some cases, information reported from the mines or other agencies; and we have been seeking to establish ground truth information for events in more mining areas. This ground truth information is valuable for event location (as some of the small events are significantly mislocated) and in some cases for identifying event source mechanisms, which permits better understanding of signal variability. We have been carefully analyzing the regional signal characteristics for REB events from several of the more active rockburst areas. We have found differences and variability in the regional signals between events as well as between source types. Although the evidence seems to indicate that on average L (sub g) /P and S/P ratios are larger, particularly at high frequencies, for earthquakes and rockbursts than for underground nuclear tests, there appears to be considerable variability between events and some overlap. In particular, we have found regional signals from underground nuclear explosions which have L (sub g) /P (sub g) and L (sub g) /P (sub n) ratios at high frequencies (4-6 Hz and 6-8 Hz bands) larger than similar ratios for rockbursts and mineblasts and as large as those for some earthquakes, under similar propagation conditions. This could lead to identification mistakes or missed events if these events were screened out. This problem may be solved by more careful analyses as well as alternative identification methods. We are continuing to investigate alternative regional discriminant measures (including regional M (sub s) /m (sub b) , SP/LP, L (sub g) spectral ratios, signal complexity, P-wave first motion) to supplement current event screening and source identification methods for mining events. Our improved ground truth data for rockbursts and other seismic sources in their vicinity have also revealed some potential questions related to identification of non-nuclear blasts. Proposed IDC regional screening procedures based on high-frequency P/L (sub g) ratios screen out some known mineblasts. While this result may be reasonable in principle, it is indicative of a range in behavior from chemical blasts, which is related to source mechanism differences, and could be a cause for false alarms, missed events, or potential evasion. A broader range of regional discriminants may be useful for more precise identification of some of these chemical blasts.

T1 - Regional seismic database for Southwest China
AN - 52078324; 2002-068889
AB - We have built a database of high-quality 3-component digital broadband and short-period recordings from 23 stations of a regional digital seismic network in southwestern China. There are frequent natural earthquakes and man-made seismic activities in the region, which provides an immense amount of data for regional seismic studies. The database contains mainly the regional digital broadband waveform data recorded at the newly implemented regional digital seismic network. Each seismic station in this network has digital broadband seismographs and short-period seismographs with 16-bit A/D converters, as well as data processing and transfer facilities. The bandwidth of the digital broadband seismograph is about 20 sec-25 Hz. The major specifications of the instrument are: (1) sensitivity of 1-2X10 (super -8) m.s (super -1) /LSB; (2) dynamic range greater than 90dB, (resolution equal to or greater than 2 (super -15) for 16 bit); (3) linearity greater than 10 (super -3) ; (4) time error less than 1 ms. The center of the regional digital seismic network has the function of seismic data collection, storage, processing and maintenance. This study will report on the seismic characteristics of regional phases in the region. Multimax has obtained and examined the digital waveform data for over 900 seismic events recorded by the regional digital seismic network. We also performed detailed time- and frequency-domain analyses of local and regional signals detected from events for which some ground-truth information about the seismic sources may be known. Our preliminary analyses of the waveforms have shown that such data provide insights to the studies of the excitation and propagation of regional phases in the region. These studies include seismic event locations, Pg/Lg spectral ratio, coda attenuation, identification, and regional structure model from tomographic inversion.

T1 - Seismic location calibration for 30 International Monitoring System stations in eastern Asia
AN - 52077260; 2002-068907
AB - We review the progress of a collaborative academic-industry research consortium, comprised of five institutions, that has started an integrated series of projects to improve the capability to locate seismic events based on data acquired by International Monitoring System (IMS) stations in Eastern Asia. This effort is to develop and deliver validated high-resolution travel time grids for operational use. During the first year of work we have focussed on IMS stations in Central Asia and Northern Pakistan, specifically the stations MAK, BRVK, KURK, AAK, AKTO, ZAL, PRPK/NIL, for which we are obtaining preliminary Source Specific Station Corrections (SSSCs). Each station presents its special problems and opportunities. Thus, although only two of these stations (ZAL and NIL) are currently contributing data to the International Data Centre (IDC), we have broadband high-quality data from surrogate stations at or close to the planned IMS sites for the other five sites. In joint projects with the National Nuclear Centre of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NNCRK) and the Institute of Dynamics of the Geosphere of the Russian Academy of Sciences, regional waveforms from Borovoye (BRVK) have become available for 80 Soviet PNEs, 228 Semipalatinsk explosions and 11 Lop Nor explosions. In a joint project with the NNCRK and the Complex Seismological Expedition based in Talgar, Kazakhstan, regional waveforms from 37 Soviet Peaceful Nuclear Explosions (PNEs) have become available for several other stations in Central Asia. Since 1994 we have operated broadband instrumentation jointly with the NNCRK at MAK, BRVK, KURK, and AKTO--enabling, for example, the recording of regional waves from numerous earthquakes throughout Central Asia, and some nuclear explosions (Lop Nor). We have obtained empirical travel times from all these datasets, using published high-quality ground truth information for the Soviet PNEs. Other valuable sources of empirical travel time information have been the Deep Seismic Sounding (DSS) profiles carried out with chemical explosions in and near Kazakhstan, and DSS profiles carried out with nuclear explosions in the northern part of the former Soviet Union. We have been able to document the variability of regional travel times with these data, finding in particular that Sn and Lg waves show significant variability. Preliminary Source Specific Station Corrections have been used for stations MAK, AAK, KURK, ZAL, TLY, ULN, NIL, and BRVK to relocate nuclear explosions at Lop Nor, showing improved accuracy and reduced confidence ellipses. We are extending this process of validation to include PNEs and other underground nuclear explosions in the former Soviet Union, and earthquakes for which we have adequate ground truth. We are on collecting high-precision hypocenter locations for mainland China by applying a double-difference (DD) earthquake relocation technique to travel time data given in the Annual Bulletin of Chinese Earthquakes (ABCE). In areas with dense seismicity, where the DD technique minimizes model effects without the use of station corrections, we find the relocated events cluster in space and appear to delineate local tectonic features. Analysis of the residuals indicates that the phase picks are of high quality, and that they are best suited to image seismicity with high resolution on a local (several km) scale. Increasing earthquake density by including ABCE data from additional time periods might help to relocate earthquakes over larger distances, such as entire fault systems. Such studies have the potential to increase groundtruth data as well as contribute to a better understanding of the tectonic processes in China.

T1 - 3-D Earth models at regional and global scales
AN - 52077236; 2002-068903
AB - We are developing a simple and efficient MATLAB tool for creating improved 3-D lithospheric models for nuclear explosion monitoring. The goal of the model maker is to provide a means for producing 1-D, 2-D and 3-D gridded or layered velocity and attenuation models for travel-time and full waveform synthetic seismic estimates. In the implementation of this code, we include the capability to produce multiple models based on the same a priori information by allowing for multiple construction rules. A priori rock property information can take the form of surface discontinuities (such as the crust mantle interface, topography, and basins) or any kind of 1-D, 2-D, or 3-D regional information. Because of the flexibility of the tool, models may be readily updated as new information becomes available. Our current model includes regions of North Africa, Europe, and Asia and is based on the previous Los Alamos National Laboratory model for China, the Maxwell (SAIC) global surface wave model and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Middle East/North Africa/Former Soviet Union model. Models are validated by comparing model-based and empirically derived correction surfaces for important stations in Western China. Waveforms from these stations for events of special interest are also used to test the accuracy of the model using a full waveform finite difference algorithm. We also test the sensitivity of the model predictions to different types of a priori data (e.g. structural interfaces like the Moho and 1-D velocity models for geophysical provinces.

T1 - Crustal structure from waveform inversion of shear-coupled PL
AN - 52077216; 2002-068899
AB - One strategy for discriminating between explosions and natural events depends on accurate determinations of event locations, including focal depths. If a seismic event could be reliably determined to have a focal depth greater than a few kilometers, one could be confident that the event is not an explosion. But to determine focal depths accurately, one must first have a fairly accurate model of the crustal structure in the vicinity of the event. Unfortunately, sufficiently accurate models do not exist for many regions of interest to the nuclear explosion monitoring community. Our previous work focused on developing and evaluating strategies for locating events using a single three-component seismic station; velocity models were obtained via crustal receiver function modeling, and waveform correlation methods were used to determine focal depths for which synthetics fit the data best. However, for an event at a regional distance from a given station, the sampling provided by the teleseismic phases used for receiver functions is not ideal. These waves tend to approach the station at a steep angle, sampling just a narrow cone beneath the station. Better sampling is provided by shear-coupled PL (SPL) phases, which sample the crust over 1000 km or more as they approach the station. This sampling provides a better lateral average of the crust and more closely resembles the sampling of phases emanating from seismic events at regional distances. Our current research centers on modeling SPL phases using a novel modeling algorithm that uses the reflectivity method to compute synthetic seismograms while holding deeper portions of the mantle fixed, in terms of pre-computed and stored reflectivity and transmission matrices. Layers of the crust and upper mantle are allowed to vary over broad ranges and the entire algorithm is powered by a variant of simulated annealing, a global optimization method. Using the results of all trials we are able to compute the posterior probability distribution for model parameters and there by assess the strength of the constraints placed upon the model parameters by the data. We report on progress in developing the modeling code and demonstrate, through synthetics computed for receiver function models produced for China, that the sampling provided by SPL is significantly different from that provided by receiver functions. Mismatches between synthetics and data for S-wave windows including the Sp converted phase, SsPmP, and SPL, indicate that each model, while it may represent structure in the immediate vicinity of a station, does not reflect structure over a broader area around the station. Given the sampling of the SPL phase, trial-and-error modeling is very difficult and time-consuming. These results confirm, however, that Sp, SsPmP and SPL phases carry additional, valuable information that can help constrain crustal and upper mantle velocity models.

T1 - Regional variations in the shear-wave Q structure of Southern Asia
AN - 52077208; 2002-068893
AB - Models of shear-wave Q (Q (sub mu ) ) have been obtained for a broad region of southern Asia that stretches across most of China and Mongolia. The models were derived using two methods. The first method inverts attenuation coefficients of the fundamental Rayleigh mode obtained using a standard two-station technique and the second method matches theoretical amplitude spectra for fundamental- and higher-mode Rayleigh waves computed for assumed velocity and Q models, and earthquakes with known source depths and focal mechanisms, to observed spectra. The latter method provides much better regional coverage than the first and allows us to map lateral variations of shear-wave Q at various levels in the crust and uppermost mantle. For the single-station, multi-mode method, we assumed an Earth model consisting of three Q (sub Mu ) layers, layer 1 being 10 km, layer 2 being 20 km, and layer 3 being 30 km thick. From data collected to date, Q (sub mu ) in layer 1 achieves lowest values (about 40) in portions of western China, including part of the Tibetan Plateau, and attains highest values in regions of southeastern China (as high as 220) and in westernmost China near the Tarim Basin. Layer 2 displays lowest Q (sub mu ) values in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau (as low as 60) and highest values in a small part of south-central China (180 or more), along the coastal region of eastern China (up to 140), and in a north-south trending band through central China (120-140). Although the resolution of crustal variations is poorer for layer 3 than for the shallower layers, some variations can be detected. The Q (sub mu ) map for that layer displays maxima under north-central China (200 or more), northwestern China (160 or more), and south-central China (about 120). A band of low Q (sub mu ) (40-60) separates the maximum in northwestern China from the maximum in north-central China. Our models indicate that Q (sub mu ) decreases with depth in eastern China and increases with depth in western China throughout the upper 30 km of the crust. Q (sub mu ) at all depths is lower everywhere in southern Asia than it is in stable regions of the world, but not as low as in much of Iran and Turkey. Differences in the depth distribution of Q throughout this region, as well as those found earlier in the Middle East, suggest that discriminants will not be transportable unless they have been corrected for regional and depth variations in Q.

T1 - Broadband seismic studies in Southern Asia
AN - 52077172; 2002-068898
AB - We are continuing efforts to develop 3-D velocity models for southern Asia through the collection and analysis of broadband waveform data acquired on the Indian subcontinent. The geology of India is diverse, but can be divided into three main regions: the Himalayas, the Indo-Gangetic plain, and the Indian Shield. Our initial focus has been on the southern Indian shield, and we have also completed studies in the trans-Himalayas and the Shillong Plateau. The goal of our work is to determine the crust and upper mantle velocity and attenuation structure and to characterize regional seismic waveform propagation of the Indian subcontinent. Teleseismic receiver function data, S-to-P conversions, and short-period surface wave phase velocity data have been interpreted for seismograms recorded along a 700-km north-south profile of the southern Shield. These data show that the shield velocity structure is extremely uniform, simple, and consists of a surface wave velocity of approximately 3.45 km/sec and a moderate gradient of 0.20 km/sec/km with the Moho at 35+ or -1 km depth. to the south of the shield in the granulite terrain, the crust is both thicker (44+ or -1 km deep) and more complicated, with a mid-crustal discontinuity at approximately 25-km depth. We constrain the upper mantle structure with phase velocity measurements of long-period surface waves; these show that the seismic lithosphere is approximately 150 km thick and underlain by a weak low-velocity zone. We have also modeled the regional waveforms of a moderate earthquake that occurred near Koyna, India, in September 2000 and of the 26 January 2001 Bhuj main shock and its aftershocks to calibrate paths to the regional stations.

T1 - Seismic regionalization, signal detector and source locator
AN - 52076711; 2002-068913
AB - This class of problems represents a permanent challenge to seismologists despite much ingenuity and efforts over the last decades. The persistent epicenter location problem is illustrative; now as in the 1960 a main research strategy for improved accuracy is tied to an elaborate system of P- and S- travel time and station corrections. For local ranges results would hardly be optimum since the major problem here is that of proper identifying S-phases in largely "chaotic" recordings besides ignoring the information potential in the waveforms themselves. In the simplifying case of spatially stationary signals from a specific mine or quarry it has been demonstrated previously by Fedorenko et al. (1998, 1999) that exploiting waveform information from a network of stations or a single 3-comp. station result in enhanced epicenter locations and source type identification. Corresponding analysis in case of earthquake waveforms are more complex since source type and locations are not necessarily spatially stationary; in essence earthquake records are "deformed" as a function of epicenter distance. The first problem encountered was surprisingly lack of adequate data; for detector research long time intervals are needed while for location station spacing should for a start be between say 15 to 60 km. Instead of wasting much time on local network records, often of poor quality, we deployed our own seismograph network using geophones as seismometers and preamplifier and A/D-converter of our design. Also, our 3-component instrument was tested through joint operation and site sharing with a Kinemetrics Ranger station-not clear which instrument had the best performance. Data transfer often proves to be ruinous in local network operation but not so for us; we simply launched a "school" project with sensor installations in school yards including access to the school's Internet so free data transfer to server in our office. An additional benefit is access to the Internet Time Servers with timing accuracy around 25 msec. Currently 5 stations are operational and 10 more schools scheduled for installation in the Fall of 2001. Firstly, we were somewhat hesitant to start research here since the widely used STA/LTA detector is simple, efficient and robust. However, the long seismic noise records now at hand showed that waveforms and also their envelopes are uncorrelated between components. Exploiting this feature, we designed a 2D-detector jointly incorporating detection statistics both from horizontal and vertical components. 3 filter bands; 1.56-3.12, 3.12-6.25, and 6.25-12.5 Hz were selected from wavelet transform considerations. The 2D-detector is superior to the 1D STA/LTA detector; operating on a RMS threshold level of 3 and still no "noise" triggering. More than 100 detections daily but most of these are traffic "pulses", very local explosions and so on. Detector output, also placed on Internet, is RMS and duration of detection state for the 3 filter bands so we have a "finger feel" of ongoing seismic activity. Since network aperture now is about 35 km we will soon have an event listing and epicenter locations on Internet in order to stimulate science interest among students and future seismologists. Inversion of BB records from large earthquakes is an efficient tool in analysis of source mechanisms including focal parameters. For small events at local distances we are faced with complex and unpredictable waveforms from which mainly P- and S-arrival times are extracted and subsequently used for epicenter determinations. We aim for using waveform envelopes obtained through Hilbert transform for epicenter refinements. First step is to use Lg envelope peaks which are easily pickable and besides have a very consistent (group) velocity of 3.5 km/sec + or -0.1. The main challenge is that of "deforming" envelope records in such a manner that we can "predict" them 10-30 km away from a given reference station and reference events. In principle, this approach should give excellent results if successful simply because we use dynamic wavefield information for location as compared to conventional kinematic phase information as now.

T1 - A broadband seismic experiment in Yunnan, Southwest China
AN - 52076679; 2002-068894
AB - A broadband portable seismic network has been deployed in Yunnan, southwest China, to collect seismic data for advanced studies on regional crustal and mantle structures, earthquake prediction, and regional characteristics of wave propagation and seismic sources. The region in southwest China is situated in an evolving tectonic region transitioning between the uplifted Tibetan plateau to the west and the Yangtze continental platform to the east. The region displays varying crustal thickness from 35 km to over 60 km with seismic activity strongly associated with the locally mapped active faults. The temporary seismic network, consisting of 25 portable broadband and narrow-band seismic stations, is deployed in the region of 98 degrees E-105 degrees E, 21 degrees N-29 degrees N. There are also 23 permanent digital broadband seismic stations recording in the region. Yunnan has the strongest intra-plate seismic activities in China. Moreover, there are several strong seismic zones in its surrounding areas, such as Tibet, Sichuan, Burma, and India. The strong seismicity in Yunnan and its surrounding areas provides the foundation for success of this deployment. Preliminary analyses have yielded an enhanced ground truth database, a 3-D structure model (together with some other analyses) for improving location, and characteristic spectral ratios for different events. Moreover, analysis of the recordings of some events of special interest, such as the January 26, 2001, M7.7 India earthquake and the February 14, 2001, M5.0 Yajiang, Sichuan, earthquake, has provided useful information on the source, path, and site effect, that are important for regional seismic studies.

T1 - Construction of 3-D Earth models for station specific path corrections by dynamic ray tracing
AN - 52076661; 2002-068890
AB - Three-dimensional models of the crust and mantle structure beneath Area 1 International Monitoring System stations in Eurasia are constructed for use with either asymptotic ray or numerical methods of waveform modeling. The models combine crustal and upper models of varying resolution specified on latitude and longitude grids having variable spacing. Model parameters are interpolated using Delaunay triangulation in 3-D (tetrahedra). Unless accurate narrow-angle crustal reflections and reverberations are required, ray bookkeeping is simplified by making all first-order crustal discontinuities narrow transition zones. Station-specific path corrections (SSPC's) for travel times are obtained in these models by dynamic ray tracing (DRT.) DRT provides information on wavefront that can be used to accurately interpolate travel times by a paraxial approximation in the vicinity of end points of rays. By this method travel times are computed in 3-D models at dense grids specified around each IMS station. Each grid point will contain travel time and quantities needed to interpolate travel times spatially at finer intervals. These interpolating quantities can also be useful to event relocation. The grid of values is given as a binary, direct access file. The wavefront curvature information provided for each path includes information needed for path integrated attenuation (t (super *) ), geometric spreading, and ray-synthetic seismograms.

T1 - The potentialities of regional seismic monitoring
AN - 52076577; 2002-068914
AB - Reliable recording of seismic events at regional distances is a necessary requirement for accurate location of these events, given that the typical spacing of the International Monitoring System (IMS) stations with respect to one another is 1,000 to 2,000 km, i.e., regional distance. Given an IMS system with a detection threshold in the range of 3.0-3.5 m (sub b) , equivalent to approximately 0.5 kT of TNT, improving the 90% confidence level in location will be a powerful instrument for constraining potential violators of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). A simple method for assessing travel-time measurement and model errors in seismic location procedures is proposed for the phases Pn, Pg, Sn, and Lg. The estimates may be useful as the first approximation for work on the kinematic calibration of seismic stations.

T1 - Improvement of earthquake epicentral locations using T-phases; testing by comparison with surface wave relative event locations
AN - 52076543; 2002-068911
AB - A deployment of 51 ocean-bottom seismometers (OBS) on the seafloor spanning 800 km across the East Pacific Rise provides a unique opportunity to test the robustness of epicentral location techniques using T-phases. A standard technique for locating events with T-phases is to pick the arrival the time of peak energy, then proceed as if it were an unscattered phase originating at the epicenter. Such an approach has been shown to have no apparent bias in epicentral location. Comparison of waveforms at nearby stations, however, shows that peak energy arrival time can shift to different parts of the wavetrain due to incoherent interference between waves excited or scattered from different locations, even for stations only a few kilometers apart, forcing operator identification of particular features in the waveform. At greater sensor separations, such identification cannot be performed with confidence. We show that a 75% reduction in variance relative to picks of peak arrival times can be achieved by fitting an assumed functional shape to the entire envelope of the T-phase. Since most of the variation in the envelope is caused by scattering and interference of the waves, "noise" is proportional to signal and is log-normal. Best results are obtained by fitting the log of the envelope, which transforms the noise into a nearly constant, Gaussian distributed background and de-emphasizes individual peaks. By fitting the entire long wavetrain of the T-phase, excitation by individual bathymetric features is also de-emphasized. We test the stability of this approach for events of greatly different size using a mainshock/aftershock sequence of earthquakes at the northern end of the Easter microplate. In addition, for the larger earthquakes, we can compare relative event locations with those determined by cross-correlating waveforms of Rayleigh and Love surface waves recorded teleseismically. The T-phases from the OBSs are supplemented by T-phases recorded at GSN station RPN. Relative event locations show that there is no apparent bias in T-phase locations, as the 95% confidence intervals of locations from the two approaches overlap. Error ellipses are smaller for surface waves than for T-phases, but the T-phase location and detection can be extended to much smaller events.

T1 - Cepstral F-statistic performance at regional distances
AN - 52074736; 2002-068906
AB - We have developed a cepstral F-statistic method that attaches statistical significance to peaks in the cepstra of seismic data. These peaks often result from echoes such as depth phases and thus provide a means of identifying possible depth phase candidates. Detections from this method are stacked as a function of their pP-P and sP-P delay times predicted by IASPEI travel-time tables using a modified version of the network stacking method of Murphy et al. (1999). The method detects depth phases with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) greater than 2, as long as the P wave SNR is greater than 5 to 8, providing a wide range of applicability. We have tested the method on limited datasets from the United States Geological Survey, the Prototype International Data Center, and the International Data Center, and have shown the method to be more reliable at automatically picking possible depth phases than current algorithms. We are now in the process of further testing the method using the extensive datasets at the Research and Development test bed at the Center for Monitoring Research. We have successfully applied the method to events with epicentral distances greater than 12 degrees and focal depths greater than 15 km. Our focus during the past year has been to examine the technique at near-regional distances for small-to-moderate sized events of varying depths. To accomplish this task, we have acquired a high-quality ground-truth dataset compiled by Ratchkovski and Hansen (2001) using the Alaska Earthquakes Information Center (AEIC) network. We have chosen a subset of the 14,000 events they relocated with magnitudes ranging from 3.5 to 5.1 (M (sub L) ), and we are in the process of applying the method to the seismic data recorded for these events at regional distances (using arrays/stations ATTU, BCAR, BMAR, KDAK, ILAR, and IMAR). We are comparing our cepstral depth phase detections at regional distances with depth calculated from data recorded at teleseismic distances (PDAR, MNV, and YKA). For the preliminary analysis at regional stations, the peak created by the sPn arrival is the phase most often detected by our cepstral F-statistic method for sub-crustal events. Often, the geometry of the ray paths at regional distances results in sP being the only depth phase predicted and observed. We use this sPn peak to independently confirm the network-calculated depths for several events of the AEIC dataset. However, in some cases, the improper classification of this peak as pPn has resulted in more than doubling the true event depth, thus creating a screening faux pas. Our results thus far show that the method can be applied to regional data with success; however, additional tools may be needed to help determine the true identity of the depth phase (pP vs. sP).

T1 - Regionalized velocity models in Central Asia
AN - 52074687; 2002-068900
AB - We have developed regional velocity models to improve the location of small seismic events near the central Asian test sites. Specifically we have used seismograms recorded by International Monitoring System (IMS) stations, along with ISC and Calibration Event Bulletin (CEB) travel-time information, to generate velocity profiles extending radially from the Lop Nor Test Site; the best coverage is for the path to the northwest through the Semipalantinsk Test Site to, at the far end, the station BRVK. Most available crustal models developed for central Asia have a Pn velocity of 8.0 km/s; whereas the velocity profiles developed put Pn in the range of 8.3-8.4 km/s. Predicted travel times of P-waves traveling to the northwest of Lop Nor using these various models all yield negative residuals on the order of 2-6 seconds, suggesting these models are slower than the actual regional velocity structure. Hence, we examined a model for the Siberian Craton, the path over which these waves travel. The modified Leith model (Langston, 1998) has a Moho velocity of 8.3 km/s, closer to the velocities we found. Applying this model results in smaller travel-time residuals (0.5 sec. 5) we can also include long-period (approximately 40-s period) body-wave trains, which can be modeled reliably using simple stratified earth models. The use of spectra and long-period signals is ideal for estimating the moment and faulting geometry of signals but simple least-squares norms based on these signals do not often provide satisfactory resolution of source depth (when the source is shallow). However, in cases where the long-period mechanism is relatively stable as a function of depth, we can overcome this limitation by exploiting signals more diagnostic of source depth such as teleseismic body-waveforms, broad-band Pn waveforms, or select short-period Rayleigh wave spectra. For example, once the mechanism is relatively well known, we can refine depth estimates using short-period P-waveforms using a synthetic seismogram-matching procedure that provides source depth constraints that in some cases span a few kilometers.

T1 - A database on deep seismic sounding peaceful nuclear explosion recordings for seismic monitoring of northern Eurasia
AN - 52065427; 2002-068947
AB - The database of seismic recordings of Peaceful Nuclear Explosions (PNEs) at the University of Wyoming now includes 19 PNEs recorded along 7 long-range refraction/reflection profiles: QUARTZ, CRATON, KIMBERLITE, RIFT, METEORITE, and two lines of project RUBY. The data from RUBY also include recordings of two Kazakhstan nuclear tests. This grid of reversed profiles (also with fan recording for RUBY) covers the East European Platform, the Ural Mountains, the West Siberian Platform and the Siberian craton, and the Baikal Rift. Dense, 3-component, short-period recordings along these profiles provide practically the only reliable source of seismic information for seismic calibration of these vast aseismic regions. These recordings offer unique opportunities to study propagation effects of regional seismic phases, to examine their correlation with geologic and tectonic features, and to develop new constraints on the structure of the crust and upper mantle. We are delivering databases of travel-time, spectral, and amplitude attributes of P, S, and Lg phases from PNE recordings. Dense observations of these phases at about 10- to 20-km spacings allow unusual, nearly continuous representation of the variations of their spectral properties over about 0- to 3200-km propagation ranges. Our preliminary analysis has uncovered numerous indications of strong Lg and other regional phases variability within the region. In order to increase robustness and versatility of the database, we provide spectral data in several forms, including the traditional (Fast Fourier Transform), multi-taper, and multi-component spectra. We summarize our recent findings from the analysis of PNE arrivals in Northern Eurasia. These results include (1) unusually detailed velocity and attenuation structure of the crust and uppermost mantle, (2) characterization of crustal attenuation through coda measurements, (3) constraints on seismic scattering, and (4) detailed imaging of the crustal basement using receiver functions. All of these factors are of primary importance for modeling of crustal guided phases, such as the P (sub g) and L (sub g) . We discuss further possible extensions of this database, including a simple empirical technique for regionalization of seismic travel times and for building the source-specific station corrections for a large part of Northern Eurasia. With further analysis facilitated by the developed database, travel-time, amplitude and waveform information from PNE records will provide valuable quantitative constraints and realistic structural data for modeling of L (sub g) and other regional phases, contributing to the development and calibration of regional seismic discriminants.

T1 - Short-period surface waves from explosions
AN - 52065378; 2002-068939
AB - We have examined the generation and propagation of short-period (0.5- to 12-sec period) surface waves from different classifications of explosions. A dataset of local and regional recordings of single-fired chemical explosions (Non-Proliferation Experiment and Balapan Depth of Burial shots), coal-mining explosions (including cast and coal shots from northern Arizona), rock fragmentation shots (SW Arizona), and quarry blasts (Central Texas) has been assembled. The dataset has been complemented with detailed source parameters including origin times, shot patterns, and additional information key to modeling the physics of the various explosions. We are currently completing the initial phases of this project that included database compilation, observational studies, and preliminary modeling of the explosions. During the next phase of the project, we propose to expand on the modeling effort to include complex source models and propagation in 3-D media using Fourier pseudo-spectral approximation (Orrey et al., 2001). The initial focus has been on the modeling of surface-wave generation from two cast blasts of similar yield ( approximately 1.6 million pounds ANFO), delay sequence, and near-source structure at a coal mine in northern Arizona. The shots were oriented approximately perpendicular to each other, allowing for interesting comparisons at both local and regional distances. Near-source data (<5 km) collected by Southern Methodist University and Los Alamos National Laboratory show the dominant surface-wave energy is delayed with respect to the blast initiation time and is better aligned with the onset of horizontal spall impact. Surface wave amplitudes recorded for both shots at regional distances differ by as much as a factor of 2.5, and these differences can be attributed to the orientation of the casting. To test this theory, we completed a preliminary modeling study to investigate the source of the azimuthal radiation patterns using the detailed blasting information obtained from blast engineers and MineSeis1.1 (Yang, 1998). The radiation patterns generated for the blasts were not isotropic as is the case when only vertical spall is modeled, and show larger amplitude lobes perpendicular to the bench, with a small amplitude increase noted for the direction of the delay firing. The overall effect of the horizontal spall is to create amplitudes as much as four times greater in the direction normal to the bench than parallel to the free face. These modeling results support our regional observations. Since equivalent radiation patterns were not observed for the P and Lg phases, the observation of these radiation patterns at regional distances could act as a cast blast discriminant in regions of monitoring concern.

T1 - Utizization of seismic and infrasound signals for characterizing mining explosions
AN - 52065359; 2002-068945
AB - This empirical study is designed to quantify mining explosions as sources of seismic and infrasound signals. The study focuses on the Western US, where a variety of different types of mining operations exist, ranging from surface coal cast blasting to hard rock fragmentation blasting in porphyry copper mines. The study is extended to the taconite mines of the Mesabi Range of Minnesota. Newly installed instrumentation, including in-mine equipment for ground truth as well as regional seismo-acoustic deployments to complement existing resources in the region, is a key component of the study. In-mine monitoring is ongoing at the Morenci Mine in Arizona and the Tyrone Mine in New Mexico. The seismo-acoustic station at Ft. Hancock, Texas, and the infrasound upgrade to Tucson, Arizona, and WUAZ will also be illustrated. Data from this study have been used to address coupling and source characterization issues for both seismic and infrasound signals. The seismic coupling of large-scale cast blasts in Wyoming, copper fragmentation blasts in Arizona and New Mexico, and taconite fragmentation blasts in Minnesota are compared. For all these event types, there is no relation between total explosive yields and peak amplitude either in the mine or at regional distances. A series of contained, single-fired explosions of varying yield was conducted in the coal mine. At regional distances these events, in contrast, show a definitive magnitude-yield relation that follows the relationship for nuclear explosions. These data and an extensive modeling exercise suggest that the complete characterization of the delay firing process, including a spall contribution, can explain the regional observations. Acoustic data from within the mine indicate that a relation exists between total explosive weight and peak acoustic amplitudes. At regional distances, under optimum wind conditions, approximately 25% of Morenci Mine shots are observed out to 500 km. The shots that are observed are among those with the largest total explosive yield conducted at this mine. The acoustic data from within the mine can be used in developing ground truth. Unlike coal cast or taconite blasts, Morenci Copper Mine often shoots several explosive patterns within a short time interval (less than 5 s). The in-mine acoustic data can be used as ground truth to identify the occurrence of those complex explosive events and contribute to the interpretation of the accompanying regional signals.

T1 - Discrepancies between PIDC, ISC, and USGS seismic magnitudes
AN - 52065326; 2002-068942
AB - We seek first to document and then to explain the well-known systematic differences between magnitudes (m (sub b) ) assigned by the PIDC, ISC, and USGS. To do this, we first obtain "classical magnitudes" that as far as possible reproduce the instrumentation and procedures associated with the Veith-Clawson magnitude scale. Though others claim to assign such magnitudes using broadband data, current practice is notably different from the actual Veith-Clawson protocol, and uses measurements made from narrow-band filtered data derived from broadband instruments. We obtain classical magnitudes by making time-domain measurements using WWSSN seismograms simulated from broadband waveforms, thus allowing us to maintain consistency with the original Veith-Clawson magnitude scale. We have obtained Veith-Clawson body-wave magnitudes using simulated WWSSN short-period signals for 21 earthquakes in 1998 and 1999. All of these events have a Veith-Clawson m (sub b) that is greater than the PIDC REB m (sub b) . The average discrepancy is 0.5 magnitude units. The discrepancy is at least 0.4 m (sub b) units for 71% of the station m (sub b) observations, with several observations having an offset greater than 1 magnitude unit. Note that the same broadband seismograms underlie these discrepant magnitude values, so this is not an issue of scatter in magnitudes derived from different seismograms. The choice of Gutenberg-Richter, or Veith-Clawson, for the distance correction factor does not strongly affect the resultant event magnitude. The depth assigned to an event by the USGS NEIC in its Preliminary Determination of Epicenters (PDE) is often greater than the depth given by the PIDC REB, especially for shallow events. This is partially due to the fact that the PIDC uses its default depth of 0 km for a significant number of events, rather than solving for an actual event depth. Since an increase in depth will result in a decrease in the magnitude [for a given measurement of log (sub 10) (A/T) at a given distance, where A is amplitude and T is period], it follows that the discrepancy between REB and PIDC m (sub b) is even greater, if the REB depths are replaced by those of the PDE in the m (sub b) calculation.

T1 - Uncertainty analysis in seismic event location
AN - 52065283; 2002-068922
AB - Uncertainty in event locations derived from seismic data is caused by errors in the arrival times of picked phases, misidentification of seismic phases, and errors in the travel-time model used in the location process. The event mislocation induced by these error sources is affected by the number and spatial distribution of stations that record an event. This project is developing a statistical framework and computational techniques for accurately analyzing event location uncertainty. Our statistical approach is based on a maximum-likelihood framework, which defines an optimal location estimate to be that maximizing a likelihood function, and derives confidence regions in terms of hypothesis tests applied to likelihood ratios. An appropriate likelihood function is prescribed in terms of a probabilistic model of the various types of errors in seismic data. With appropriate computational tools, it is possible to implement a general class of error models that allow for non-Gaussian distributions, spatially correlated errors in travel-time tables, and other complexities that conventional location algorithms do not handle. Additionally, the assumption of local linearity of the forward problem (travel-time vs. location) can be avoided. We are developing such computational tools based on grid-search and Monte-Carlo simulation techniques. We have implemented our statistical formulation in a general event location algorithm that finds optimal location estimates from arrival time, slowness and azimuth measurements for regional and teleseismic phases, and computes the non-elliptical confidence regions which follow from a general error model and nonlinear analysis. We have used the algorithm to study the effects of nonlinearity and non-Gaussian error assumptions on the confidence regions of sparsely recorded events, applying it to regional arrival data from the 1991 Racha earthquake sequence, data from local and national networks in Turkey, and from the Reviewed Event Bulletin of the International Data Centre. Our present efforts focus on developing a realistic and practical formulation of the errors in the travel-time tables that are used in locating events ("modeling errors"). We are basing our formulation on empirical methods for estimating travel-time corrections from multiple-event data sets, with the goal of deriving location confidence regions that properly reflect the results of network calibration studies.

T1 - Assessment of seismic and infrasound signals in Korea with ground truth
AN - 52064606; 2002-068932
AB - A four-element, 1-km aperture seismo-acoustic array is being operated northeast of Seoul, Korea. Each element of the array consists of a GS-13 vertical seismometer (1 Hz) in a shallow borehole ( approximately 10 m) and a low-frequency acoustic gauge connected to an 11-element hose array (7.6 m hoses) at the surface. The array is being used to assess the importance of co-located seismic and acoustic sensors for the purposes of: (1) quantifying wind as a source of seismic and acoustic noise; (2) constraining propagation path effects in the atmosphere and solid earth; (3) locating the sources of the waves; (4) characterizing the source type. Combined analysis of the seismic and acoustic data can be particularly important in identifying sources of industrial blasting. Seismic noise estimates illustrate a level that is only slightly above the low noise model on average. Acoustic noise levels resolve the microbaroms during low noise times but document a nearly 50 dB increase in noise during the windiest periods. Infrasonic noise in the 0.01 to 5 Hz band increases rapidly with wind velocity. The seismic noise shows little or no dependence on wind velocity. Analysis of the data suggests that there are many more acoustic signals than seismic (4-10 times). The majority of the acoustic signals occurs during working hours and are constrained to several narrow azimuth ranges. These observations suggest that the signals are man made. Approximately 1/4 of all seismic signals are associated with an acoustic arrival. The seismo-acoustic observations come from sources in the 30 to 200 km range and occur during working hours, local time. The 30 to 200 km observation distance is surprising in that average atmospheric velocity models predict no acoustic returns in this range. Average atmospheric models modified by meteorological data for the troposphere indicate the possibility of ducting in the troposphere as an explanation for these arrivals. Event location is based upon regional seismic phase identification (P (sub n) , P (sub g) , P (sub m) P, L (sub g) , R (sub g) ) using the array and back azimuth estimates from both the seismic and acoustic data. Aliasing for the short wavelength infrasound signals is reduced using broadband back azimuth estimates. Additional infrasound sensors with 100 m offset are planned to further reduce the aliasing problem. Many of the infrasound signals have good signal to noise from 1 to beyond 4 Hz. Despite the small size of the array, event clusters are identified at regional distances. Waveform comparisons of these clusters suggest that the events are from common source areas. The high Q path of the Korean Peninsula results in regional seismograms that have significant energy to frequencies as high as 16 Hz, the corner frequency for the anti-alias filters. Events associated with acoustic signals are presumed to be from mining regions. Ground truth in the form of in-mine observations provides validation of this interpretation. These data are also used to assess blasting practices and their relationship to the observed seismic and infrasound signals. The existence of Rg arrivals and dominance of P energy at high frequency are consistent with this interpretation. There is more event-to-event variation in the acoustic signals than the seismic signals within the event groups, suggesting the effect of variable atmospheric propagation effects consistent with ray paths in the troposphere.

T1 - Improved surface wave detection and measurement using phase-matched filtering with a global one-degree dispersion model
AN - 52064585; 2002-068931
AB - The primary goal of this project is to improve the capability to identify and detect surface waves for the purpose of earthquake/explosion discrimination. We are developing improved, higher resolution earth and dispersion models. The models consist of approximately 600 distinct crust and upper mantle structures, with surface layering and/or ocean depths that vary on a one-degree grid. There are a total of 64,800 earth models and dispersion curves, but the tomographic inversion is performed only for the 600 distinct crust and upper mantle models, with the shallow structure constrained by other information. The data set used in the inversion now consists of approximately 548,000 phase and group velocity dispersion measurements obtained from a variety of sources. Surface sediments are defined using the global sediment maps of Laske and Masters (1997), and ocean bathymetry is defined using the Etopo5 topographic data set. Automatic identification of surface waves at the International Data Centre is currently performed by narrow-band filtering the data at several frequencies, and then comparing the arrival times with a regionalized dispersion model. We have implemented and tested a new procedure in which we first phase-match filter the data and then apply narrow-band filters to the compressed waveform and use a detection test similar to the current test. This allows us to take advantage of the improved signal-to-noise ratio of the phase-match filtered waveforms, while retaining the robustness of narrow-band filtering for frequency-dependent signal identification. After phase-matched filtering, the predicted arrival time is zero at all frequencies, so we test to see if the arrivals are within a time window similar to that used in the existing test. To test the procedure, we processed the same data set using five-degree and one-degree models with and without phase-matched filtering. Detections using the one-degree model with phase-matched filtering increased by more than 30% compared to the five-degree model currently in use at the IDC without phase-matched filtering. We use long-period waveforms from historic nuclear explosions to assess the potential of automated Rayleigh wave travel-time picks to improve seismic event locations. The improved accuracy of locations reported by Yacoub (2000), based on 20-second Rayleigh waves, provided the impetus for this work. Although surface wave arrival times cannot be measured as accurately as body wave arrivals, that surface waves are much slower means that accurate locations can be achieved. We find that good locations can be determined with surface waves, which could potentially improve locations made with body waves alone provided that the paths are relatively short and an accurate dispersion model is available for the region. This may be especially important for small events with few total measurements. To assess the value of single surface wave measurements for that purpose, we also estimate the accuracy of single-station distance estimates.

T1 - On the use of kriged P-wave travel-time correction surfaces for seismic location
AN - 52064548; 2002-068930
AB - Accurate location of seismic events remains a critical issue for global nuclear explosion monitoring. Herein we present some observations on the nature of kriged P-wave travel-time correction surfaces and their application to improving seismic event location in China. We have adopted the correction surface approach due to ease of implementation and the fact that empirical correction surfaces can be constructed without detailed knowledge of crustal structure. However, correction surfaces can be built on any velocity model, no matter how detailed, so that when such models do become available, surfaces can be recalculated for that model. This, in turn, enables prediction of corrections in regions lacking seismicity. We use the modified Bayesian kriging method to construct surfaces for 76 stations around Asia, analyzing travel-time data from seismic events in the United States Geological Survey Earthquake Data Reports (EDR) and the International Seismic Center (ISC) catalog. Due to limited data, we gather residuals for events throughout the crust (as defined by the 1-D global model employed) whose location accuracies range from 2-25 km. The correction surfaces are used with the EvLoc algorithm to perform regional relocations of several thousand events in the region around China. Correction surfaces dramatically improve the clustering and linearity of regional seismicity and increase the stability of EvLoc. About 50% more events are successfully relocated when surfaces are used. Comparing regional relocations to high-quality ground truth also reveals a significant quantitative improvement in location accuracy. In an effort to further improve our location ability, we are creating a comprehensive merged database for the China region, comprised of EDR, ISC, Reviewed Event Bulletin, and several regional catalogs. This database will provide the most complete record of arrivals for events in eastern Asia, and its location performance will be validated against current databases. One measure of the robustness of the kriged surfaces is their correlation; nearby stations should have similar P-wave correction surfaces. We find that surface correlation is high for nearby stations but drops off beyond about 250 km, implying that, on average, crustal structure varies rapidly across Asia. This length scale may be useful for assessing whether or not surrogates should be used in developing correction surfaces for new stations. Moreover, this correlation length can also be used to constrain the model correlation length parameter in the kriging procedure. We have performed a suite of sensitivity tests to examine the effect of depth and epicentral mislocations on travel-time residuals. These tests were performed using four closely spaced high-quality ground truth events as observed by the 76 stations for which we calculate correction surfaces. Fixing the latitude and longitude of the events and letting the origin time and depth vary, we find that there is about 0.13-sec deviation in residuals for every 10 km of depth error. Epicentral mislocations result in P-wave residual errors of about 0.75 sec per 0.1 degrees . When compared to the root-mean-square residual value of about 1.9 sec, effects due to depth errors and depth averaging are minimal.

T1 - Initial results at reducting systematic errors for seismic event locations using a model incorporating anisotropic regional structures
AN - 52064505; 2002-068929
AB - We are utilizing a mapping of the lateral and anisotropic variations in Pn velocities beneath continents across the globe (Smith and Ekstrom, 1999) to predict travel times of P-wave propagation at distances of 2-14 degrees. At such distances the phase Pn is the seismic phase that is most frequently reported and that thus controls the location accuracy. This is important in CTBT applications as many events of interest are only detected at these distances. We are thus working on reducing the systematic errors in Pn travel-times and the resulting seismic event location at regional distances using our mapping. In our investigations we have begun by establishing a list of ground truth events by which to test locations using our different models. In establishing this list we have endeavored to include a variety of geographic areas and sizes of events. We have also developed a grid-search algorithm to relocate each of these events using isotropic, laterally varying, and full anisotropic models. In our initial studies we have not accounted for ray-path effects which may prove to be significant. Our results from the first stage of this study indicate a progressive improvement in the relocation with increased model complexity. However, significant systematic errors remain in locations where heterogeneity is accounted for but anisotropy is not. The most significant results appear to be for events with few stations reporting but with reasonable azimuthal distribution.

T1 - Development of a ground truth database for improvement of CTBT monitoring in the eastern Mediterranean region
AN - 52063535; 2002-068927
AB - A reliable Ground Truth (GT) database is crucial to improve the monitoring of small seismic events in the Middle East. Therefore, the Geophysical Institute of Israel (GII), Bogazici University, Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, Istanbul (Turkey) (KOERI), TUBITAK Marmara Research Center, Earth and Marine Sciences Research Institute, (Turkey) (EMSRI) and the Geological Survey Department of Cyprus (GSDC) joined their efforts to develop a database using seismic data from the national networks and arrays advantageously placed in the eastern Mediterranean region. The elaborated GT database includes: 1) GT2-GT5 data for earthquakes and aftershocks that are well constrained by dense local and portable networks; 2) GT2 data of large routine quarry blasts supplied by blast pattern parameters; and 3) GT0 data for controlled routine quarry blasts and special design calibration explosions conducted previously and during project duration, including detailed blast pattern design. At the first stage of the project, we elaborated the database for calibration of the International Monitoring System (IMS) stations EIL and MRNI relative to local GT events, well located by the Israel Seismic Network (ISN) stations. We collected 27 GT0 events (including the three Dead Sea calibration explosions in November 1999) and 23 GT2 industrial explosions from quarries in the Negev and Galilee (local magnitude M (sub L) = 2.7-3.1); all the explosions are recorded with a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) up to 250 km. About 20 accurately located (GT2-GT5 rank) earthquakes in Israel (M (sub L) >3) were selected. Next, we accumulated travel times data from earthquakes for correction of the travel-time models from specific areas to the IMS stations within the radius of 2000 km of the chosen seismic networks. After screening of numerous candidate events, we selected 21 earthquakes from different eastern Mediterranean sites within the footprint of the local networks: a) 6 earthquakes of M (sub L) >4 located between the Cypriot Seismic Network and the ISN (GT5 rank); b) 7 Adana-Ceyhan earthquakes (M (sub L) >4) and 8 Izmit and Bolu-Duzce earthquakes (M (sub L) >4.5), well covered by the Turkish networks together with portable stations (GT2-GT5 rank). All selected earthquakes were carefully screened, relocated, and checked according to the appropriate GT criteria. The accumulated GT events were also used to improve event location: a) event relocation based on evaluated travel-time residuals; b) estimation of corresponding 90% confidence ellipsoids; c) verification by the Monte-Carlo simulation. The collected earthquake/explosion data will be used for: a) mapping travel time residuals, azimuth residuals and regional phase attenuation, b) upgrading of the Robust Location Procedure to an automatic bulletin producer; c) development of the grid search procedure for location and confidence volume estimation; d) modification and testing of advanced seismic processing methods: 1) maximum likelihood beamforming applied to the BRAR and MRNAR arrays; and 2) regional multi-station spectral and kinematic discriminants to be adapted to the Turkish Seismic Network.

T1 - Regional location and identification using sparse stations
AN - 52063499; 2002-068925
AB - Locating events in Southern California is quite simple since we have about 500 stations, with a large fraction broadband (TriNet). We locate and identify within minutes. Thus, we have an opportunity to test hybrid methods against the full array estimate. Here we report on three projects addressing these issues; (1) locating events using one calibrated station with waveform data plus a few other stations with travel-time and polarity information, (2) particularly complex sub-regions where the depth phases such as pPn and sPn prove ineffective, and (3) calibrating paths using a combination of sparse regional waveforms and radar. In previous efforts (last years report) we presented results using waveforms from one-station (PAS) and a few polarities from the array (3 to 5). The model employed a grid-search over mechanism (strike, dip and rake) with the depth fixed. Along most paths the method proved effective when comparing against the entire network. Here we present results of letting the depth vary as well so that the single station must use pPn and sPn and the ratio of body waves to surface waves to fix the depth. Only about half the paths still work, but in those situations, the location is greatly improved over just travel-time fitting because of the whole seismogram matching procedure. Our method uses an adaptive grid search over location with calibrated Pnl and surface wave time shifts. However, the corrections to 1-D models are only applicable to areas in which the velocity structure does not vary drastically. Refracted phases, like Pn, at distances over 200 km provide most P arrival times. When the velocity structure begins to vary drastically near the source, the receiver, or along the propagation path, the arrival times vary greatly. Moreover, the structure modifies the waveform shape such that it makes identification of Pn and its associated depth phases exceedingly difficult. Such an area occurs beneath the high Southern Sierras through Owens Valley and into Death Valley. A low velocity zone, relative to the mantle, exists directly under the Moho and creates extra arrivals. These extra arrivals could be misconstrued as depth phases and thus a mis-location. Steps to identify areas of dramatic velocity variation, such as the one noted previously or in and around the Tibetan plateau, are needed to avoid misinterpretation of direct arrivals and depth phases. In lieu of robust event locations, regional path calibration and crustal modeling utilizes well-located explosions, such as seismic reflection/refraction experiments or isolated blasts [Kanamori and Hadley (1975)]. In regions that include no well-located seismic events, other methods of path calibration are needed. Using InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) data to locate earthquakes provides the necessary ground truth to accomplish regional path calibration, leading to more accurate event locations. By using InSAR data to constrain the location and seismic data to determine the mechanism, the combination characterizes events robustly. As shown by Lohman et al. (2001) for the 1992 Little Skull Mountain event, InSAR data has the ability to locate events to within 0.5 km in the horizontal direction and 1.0 km in the vertical. Even with limited data coverage, this approach provides excellent constraints on location and mechanism, natural or man-made. Corrections to simple 1-D models can be made by using locations derived from InSAR data. These corrections are then used to locate events in an accurate fashion.

T1 - Improving discriminants for source identification
AN - 52062550; 2002-068943
AB - The ability to correct regional phase discriminant measurements for propagation effects is strongly influenced by the nature of the propagation phenomenon. As an example, blockage of Lg phases by waveguide disruption may lead to enhanced Sn amplitudes, allowing effective discrimination to proceed by interchanging P/Sn ratios for P/Lg ratios, or the corresponding use of Smax measurements. However, if the Lg phase is strongly damped out by intrinsic attenuation, there will be no compensating flux of energy into the Sn wavefield (or vice versa). In addition, the theoretical nature of corrections for amplitude loss for regional phases is expected to assume distinct functional forms for attenuation versus scattering phenomena, and interpolation and extrapolation of empirical corrections should differ for diverse propagation phenomena. The research project that we are pursuing involves exploration of hybrid methods of kriging, parametric regression analysis, and modeling to develop optimal capabilities for correcting for propagation effects. The overriding challenge within central Asia appears to be how to account for, or at least recognize, strong losses of Lg amplitudes for propagation paths within the Tibetan Plateau. Motivated by earlier results from other groups which reported relatively moderate attenuation values for Lg phases within and traversing the Plateau, we assembled a large database which persuasively demonstrated to us that Lg amplitude decay was more rapid than predicted by published attenuation models. One possible cause was a blockage effect associated with loss of Lg energy upon crossing the Plateau margins, but our analysis suggested that the data are more consistent with progressive energy losses proportional to path length within the Plateau, only at a much more severe rate of attenuation than published work would lead us to expect. We developed a differential spectral approach using multiple events with common paths outside of the Plateau but different path lengths in the Plateau to robustly estimate broadband Lg spectral decay. Rather phenomenal evolution of the Lg spectra with path length is observed, with a strong systematic shift of the Lg "corner" frequency from 2 Hz to 0.2 Hz as a function of increasing path length in the Plateau. Spectral ratios for various path geometries across Tibet indicate that attenuation values for 1-Hz Lg are on the order of 80-90 in the northern central area of Tibet where strong Sn attenuation has previously been mapped, and on the order of 130-150 in most other areas of Tibet. These values are as much as 3 to 4 times lower than published values, but are consistent with (and derived from) the observed progressive extinction of broadband Lg energy. Reanalysis of earlier attenuation estimates has recently been conducted by J. Xie, and he also reports much lower Lg attenuation values within Tibet, consistent with our own estimates. The conclusion is that so-called blockage of Lg energy for paths in Tibet is in fact due to very strong crustal attenuation, of a magnitude likely to be linked to the presence of partial melt in the lower crust (as has been invoked for the upper mantle to account for Sn attenuation). Thus, there is no compensating transfer of energy from Lg to Sn via scattering that would enable a robust Smax solution to the discrimination problem for Tibet events. The observed internal heterogeneity of attenuation within the Plateau makes it difficult to develop alternate lower frequency Lg amplitude measures that might reflect source type as well. Reliance on alternate discriminant measures for Tibetan events appears mandatory.

T1 - Study of anomalous mine blasts
AN - 52062537; 2002-068941
AB - The Altai-Sayan mining region located east of Novosibirsk, Russia, comprises over 72 mines which are located between 7 and 559 km from the International Monitoring System (IMS) primary 3-component station ZAL. We have origin time and location estimates of 853 blasts that have occurred in this trend between 1/1/1995 and 6/30/2000. The mines are known to use millisecond delay-fire blasting and had explosive yields ranging from 500 T. We are currently analyzing the range dependence of seismic waveforms from these blasts to prepare for the use of a correlation method to associate individual mine blast recordings with a specific mines and to look for detonation anomalies. Detonation anomalies are of particular interest as the simultaneous release of a significant explosive yield within a routine mine blast shot sequence might be confused with a clandestine nuclear test. Recent advances in the simulation of seismic signals from delay-fired mine blasts make it possible to study the effects of these complex events provided that ancillary data on the events under study and the medium through which the energy propagates to the receivers are available. Our focus thus far has been on the collection of ground truth data on blasts in the Altai-Sayan region and the crustal structure. We are currently assessing the accuracy of the data and arranging the collection of more complete data in the future. We have observed surface waves at the Kyrgyz broadband seismic network (KNET) that have been produced by large mine blasts in the Altai-Sayan trend. We are currently assessing the utility of the dense KNET for characterizing sub-kiloton mine blasts from mid- to far-regional range.

T1 - Assessing location capability with ground truth events; the Dead Sea and South Africa regions
AN - 52061561; 2002-068934
AB - We are combining locally derived ground truth (GT) information with analyses of regionally recorded waveform data to derive path corrections to global network stations for earthquakes and explosions in the Dead Sea and South Africa regions. Our strategy is to determine locations that are quality GT5 or better for events using "local" information, and then to treat these locations as known, fixed hypocenters in a regional joint hypocenter determination (JHD) inversion for the path corrections. We are using arrival time picks from all available waveform data from global network stations in the inversion for path corrections. For the Dead Sea region, we are using data from 53 earthquakes and the 3 Dead Sea calibration explosions to derive local 1-D velocity models and station corrections for about 70 seismic network stations within Israel and Jordan, using JHD. The explosions are treated as sources with known (fixed) location and origin time in the JHD inversion. The resulting locations for the earthquakes are constrained quite well, with estimated 95% confidence regions ranging from 1 to 3 km in both epicenter and depth. Thus, we feel confident in treating these earthquakes as GT5 events. The next step is to use a smaller group of events with data available at regional and teleseismic distances as "master events" with fixed locations in a regional JHD solution for path corrections to global network stations. We also investigate the use of "surrogate" stations to interpolate path corrections at IMS stations without observations. For South Africa, we have obtained ground-truth information on mining-induced earthquakes from the seismology investigators (T. Jordan and D. James) who operated the PASSCAL South African craton broadband experiment. We identified 14 events having regional and teleseismic waveforms that could be used for location calibration purposes, and we were provided with locations (including depths) determined from mine records for these events. As in the case of the Dead Sea investigation, the next step is to use the larger events in our Dead Sea dataset as "master events" with fixed locations in a regional JHD solution for path corrections to global network stations. We present our results for the Dead Sea and South Africa path corrections along with an assessment of the location accuracy that can be obtained via their use. We also examine the ability to estimate IMS station path corrections using path corrections from nearby non-IMS stations. A nearest-neighbor interpolation algorithm performs well at predicting the IMS station path corrections in most cases.

T1 - Research in regional seismic monitoring
AN - 52061525; 2002-068921
AB - This project represents a continuing effort to use data from the regional networks operated by NORSAR and the Kola Regional Seismological Centre (KRSC) to assess the seismicity and characteristics of regional phases of the European Arctic. Recently, seismic instrumentation has been installed inside the mines in the Khibiny Massif of the Kola peninsula in order to provide origin times of the seismic events as well as to contribute to additional validation of the location accuracy. We are now planning to expand this effort by collecting similar ground truth information for other mines in the Kola Peninsula, Spitsbergen and NW Russia. We present some initial ground truth information from rockbursts/earthquakes in a coal mine in Spitsbergen (Barentsburg). A 3-component digital seismometer system was installed in this mine in November 2000, and we present results of locating these rockbursts. The largest of these events are well recorded by the International Monitoring System (IMS) arrays SPITS and ARCES, and can therefore be useful for IMS calibration purposes. Another area of interest for calibration is the northern Ural Mountains, where there is significant mining activity. The Amderma station, which is operated by KRSC, routinely detects a large number of mining explosions in mines near Vorkuta, and examples of such event recordings are presented. The largest of these events are also observed at the Fennoscandian arrays, especially ARCES, although they are seldom large enough to be included in the Reviewed Event Bulletin (REB), which currently requires P-detection by at least three primary IMS stations. Nevertheless, the detection, location and screening of such small events, even when observed by only a single station, are of interest in a global monitoring situation. The provision of ground truth of selected explosions and/or rockbursts in this area will help in calibrating the ARCES array (and possibly other stations) for such monitoring purpose. The seismic events associated with the tragic accident of the "Kursk" submarine in the Barents Sea in August 2000 were recorded on several IMS stations. Observations from these stations have proved to be important in determining the sequence, characteristics and timing of these events. During the months following the accident, the Russian Navy carried out a number of underwater explosions in the Barents Sea near the site, and preliminary results from locating these events will be presented. A workshop was held in Oslo, Norway, during 23-27 April 2001 in support of the global seismic event location calibration effort currently being undertaken by PrepCom's Working Group B in Vienna. The workshop, which was chaired by Dr. Frode Ringdal, was attended by 65 scientists from 14 countries and the Provisional Technical Secretariat of the CTBTO. Among the contributions were recent results provided by NORSAR and KRSC of our joint regional calibration effort in the European Arctic, which includes ground-truth data and regional models applicable to a number of IMS stations in this region.

T1 - Measuring and modeling water imbibition into tuff
AN - 52011326; 2003-023703
AB - Yucca Mountain, Nevada, is being investigated as a potential site for a high-level radioactive waste repository. The site combines a partially saturated hydrologic system and a stratigraphy of fractured, welded, and nonwelded tuffs. The long timescale for site hydrologic phenomena limits the applicability of direct measurements. Also, mathematical modeling is difficult because the tuffs exhibit widely varying, and often highly nonlinear, hydrologic properties. To increase a basic understanding of both the hydrologic properties of tuffs and the modeling of flow in partially saturated regimes, the following tasks were performed. (1) Laboratory Experiment: water imbibition into a cylinder of tuff (taken from Yucca Mountain drill core) was measured by immersing one end of a dry sample in water and noting its weight as a function of time; the flow of water was approximately one dimensional, filling the sample from bottom to top. (2) Computer Simulation: the experiment was then modeled using TOSPAC (a one-dimensional, finite-difference computer program for simulating water flow in partially saturated, fractured, layered media) with preliminary data currently considered for use in site-scale modeling of a repository in Yucca Mountain. The measurements and the results of the modeling are compared. Conclusions are drawn with respect to the accuracy of modeling transient flow in a partially saturated, porous medium using a one-dimensional model and currently available hydrologic property data.

T1 - Multi-scale investigations of liquid flow in a fractured basalt vadose zone
AN - 52010673; 2003-023709
AB - This paper introduces an approach to the problem of characterizing flow and transport in a fractured basalt vadose zone. We propose the development of physically based conceptual models on a hierarchy of scales. This approach is derived from field investigations that were conducted in the vadose zone of the Snake River Plain in southeastern Idaho. Three scales of ponded infiltration tests were carried out: a Large Scale Infiltration Test (LSIT) conducted at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) (pond area approximately 26,000 m (super 2) ), intermediate-scale infiltration tests (pond area 56 m (super 2) ) conducted at the Box Canyon site (near Arco, Idaho), and small-scale infiltration tests (pond area 0.5 m (super 2) ) conducted at the Hell's Half Acre Lava Flow Site (near Shelly, Idaho). Laboratory water-dripping experiments were also conducted using fracture models with constant and variable apertures. We find that, at each scale of investigation, different models for flow phenomena must be used to explain the observed behavior. These models can be used to describe the flow processes on different scales, with no apparent scaling principles evident. To characterize flow phenomena in fractured basalt, we recommend that investigations be carried out at four scales: elemental, small-scale, intermediate-scale, and large-scale. An elemental component is a single fracture or a block of homogeneous porous media. Small-scale components include one or a few fractures and the surrounding matrix. Intermediate-scale (mesoscale) components include a basalt flow with its fracture network and other parts (fracture zones, vesicular lenses, soil, massive basalt, rubble zone) of a single basalt flow. Large-scale (regional) components include multiple basalt flows and their surrounding network of rubble zones and sedimentary interbeds.

T1 - Characterization of arid land water-balance processes at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
AN - 52010628; 2003-023707
AB - Water-balance processes were characterized to estimate net infiltration at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, to help determine the suitability of this site as a potential high-level radioactive waste repository. Detailed water-content data were collected from 98 boreholes located in four topographic positions (ridgetops, sideslopes, alluvial terraces, and active channels) representing four infiltration zones. These data include monthly volumetric water-content readings with depth for 1984 through 1995 and water potential measurements made at a soil-bedrock contact in 1995. These data, combined with measured evapotranspiration and precipitation data, provide the seasonal and areal distribution of changes in volumetric water content needed to assess hydrologic processes contributing to net infiltration. The conceptual model of infiltration at Yucca Mountain describes the processes of precipitation, runoff, evapotranspiration, and vertical redistribution of water in the shallow unsaturated zone. Field observations and measurements and data analysis indicate that, in order for net infiltration to occur, water must reach and nearly saturate the soil-bedrock contact to initiate flow in the underlying fractured bedrock, and water must penetrate deep enough to escape the influences of evapotranspiration. The amount of net infiltration is a function of how long or how frequently the contact is saturated. Water must penetrate deep enough to escape the influences of evapotranspiration. The penetration of water through the soil is influenced primarily by the seasonal timing and areal distribution of precipitation, the storage capacity of soil, and the properties of the underlying bedrock.

T1 - Use of conditional simulation, mechanical theory, and field observations to characterize the structure of faults and fracture networks
AN - 52010412; 2003-023702
AB - We present a method that links physical theory for the origin of a fracture system to field observations. The method generates simulations of a physically-based stochastic model that are conditioned on field observations. Two examples using stochastic models that are qualitatively based on elasticity theory are presented. The first is a three-dimensional model of small left-lateral strike-slip faults based on cohesive zone fracture mechanics and conditioned on surface trace maps. The second is a two-dimensional stochastic model of a strata bound fracture network conditioned on well test data.

T1 - Pressure wave vs. tracer velocities through unsaturated fractured rock
AN - 52010164; 2003-023700
AB - Rapid fluid pressure changes in unsaturated media due to perturbations at or near the earth-atmosphere interface are commonly attributed to preferential or bypass flow. An alternative mechanism for the rapid propagation of pressure perturbations in unsaturated media is the kinematic response, which results from the nonlinear relationship between unsaturated hydraulic conductivity and water content. The relationship between pressure wave velocities and fluid velocities is described using kinematic wave theory, presented for the Brooks-Corey and van Genuchten-Mualem formulations. The kinematic mechanism predicts fluid pressure pulse velocities to be substantially faster than unsaturated fractured rock tracer velocities for both formulations. A hydraulic form of the advection-diffusion equation based on Richards' Equation is presented that uses the hydraulic diffusivity and kinematic velocity to predict the hydraulic response in unsaturated fractured rock to pressure head perturbations. Pressure pulse velocity monitoring may be an additional tool for estimating unsaturated hydraulic properties in low permeability media.

T1 - Two-phase unsaturated flow at Yucca Mountain, Nevada; a report on current understanding
AN - 52009889; 2003-023706
AB - Thick unsaturated zones in semi-arid regions have some unique attributes that are favorable for long-term isolation of hazardous wastes. The disposal concept at Yucca Mountain takes advantage of low ambient water fluxes. Evaluation of site suitability must be based on an understanding of two-phase (liquid-gas) fluid flow and heat transfer processes in a heterogeneous, fractured rock mass. A large body of relevant knowledge has been accumulated in various fields, including petroleum and geothermal reservoir engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, and soil science. Complications at Yucca Mountain arise from the partly episodic and localized nature of water seepage in fracture networks. This limits the applicability of spatial and temporal averaging, and poses great challenges for numerical modeling. Significant flow and heat transfer effects may occur in the gas phase. Observations of natural and man-made chemical tracers as well as controlled field experiments have provided much useful information on mass transport at Yucca Mountain, including the occurrence of fast preferential flow. It is now clear that fracture-matrix interactions are considerably weaker than would be expected from a concept of water flowing in fractures as areally extensive sheets. The Yucca Mountain system is expected to be quite robust in coping with larger seepage rates, as may occur under future more pluvial climatic conditions.

T1 - Dynamic channeling of flow and transport in saturated and unsaturated heterogeneous media
AN - 52009852; 2003-023699
AB - Dynamic channeling of flow and transport in strongly heterogeneous, saturated and unsaturated media is reviewed. Focussing or channeling of flow is dependent on both the permeability distribution and the pressure field. In the case of unsaturated media, it is also dependent on the degree of saturation. The emergence of flow channeling as a function of permeability variability (as measured by its standard deviation) and the spatial correlation range in three-dimensional porous systems is described. We also discuss the effects of channelized flow on two problems of practical interest for saturated and unsaturated heterogeneous media.

T1 - Type-curve analyses of single- and cross-hole pneumatic tests in unsaturated fractured tuffs
AN - 52008600; 2003-023704
AB - We describe selected pressure and pressure derivative type-curve analyses of single-and cross-hole pneumatic injection tests recently completed in unsaturated fractured tuffs at the Apache Leap Research Site (ALRS) near Superior, Arizona. Type-curve analyses of transient data from single-hole tests yield information about air permeability, skin factor, borehole storage, phenomenology and dimensionality of the flow regime on a nominal scale of 1 m in the vicinity of each test interval. We find that transient air permeabilities agree well with steady state values but correlate poorly with fracture density. Larger scale cross-hole pneumatic tests were conducted by injecting air into a relatively short borehole interval of length 1-2 m, while monitoring air pressure and temperature in the injection interval; barometric pressure, air temperature and relative humidity at the surface; as well as air pressure and temperature in 13 short (0.5-2 m) and 24 longer (4-20 m) intervals within the injection and surrounding boreholes. We discuss one of these tests labeled PP4. Analyses of pressure data from individual monitoring intervals yield information about pneumatic connections between the injection and monitoring intervals, corresponding directional air permeabilities, and air-filled porosities. All of these quantities vary considerably from one monitoring interval to another on scales ranging from a few meters to well over 20 meters. Together with the results of earlier site investigations our single-and cross-hole test analyses reveal that, at the ALRS, a) the pneumatic pressure behavior of fractured tuff is amenable to analysis by methods that treat the rock as a continuum on scales ranging from meters to tens of meters; b) this continuum is representative primarily of interconnected fractures; c) its pneumatic properties vary strongly with location, direction and scale; in particular, the mean of pneumatic permeabilities increases, and their variance decreases, with scale: and d) this scale effect is most probably due to the presence in the rock of various size fractures that are interconnected on a variety of scales.

T1 - Effect of topography on gas flow in unsaturated fractured rock; concepts and observations
AN - 52008559; 2003-023701
AB - Two wells located at the crest of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, and tapping highly fractured welded tuffs were observed to show substantial air exchange with the atmosphere, both in winter and in summer. During winter, the wells exhaust air almost continuously at relatively high velocity, typically about 3 m s (super -1) . During summer, the wells alternately intake and exhaust air at much lower velocities, with flow directions typically reversing at least a few times a day. The air exchange arises in part from a topographic effect and in part from a barometric effect. The topographic effect arises from the fact that in an area of topographic relief, the column of air extending from a fractured-rock outcrop on the hillside to the hillcrest will be colder. Drier, and hence denser during cold weather than the column of air extending from the hillside outcrop through the highly permeable fractured rock and the well to the same hillcrest altitude. Thus, during winter, air will enter the outcrop and migrate through the fractured rock to exhaust out the well. During summer, the circulation pattern should be reversed with the wells taking in air in hot weather. This topographic effect is superimposed on barometrically induced air circulation that arises because air pressure at depth in the formation requires some time to equilibrate with that in the atmosphere following a barometric change whereas the pressure in the well bore equilibrate almost instantaneously. The interplay between topographic and barometric-effects appears adequate to explain circulation observed in summer, but the high-velocity nearly continuous air exhaust from the wells observed in winter seems to exceed that can be explained by the two identified mechanisms. Air circulation in the unsaturated zone at Yucca Mountain may result in drying of the rocks in the upper part of Yucca Mountain to a lower moisture content draw than that achieved by gravity drainage alone. Such drying would reduce the potential for deep percolation through the proposed repository horizon.

T1 - Water flow and solute transport in unsaturated fractured chalk
AN - 52008530; 2003-023710
AB - The nature of flow and transport through fractures crossing an unsaturated chalk formation were investigated in the northern Negev desert, Israel. An experimental setup was developed to allow controlled infiltration experiments through discrete, in situ fractures. Percolation experiments showed significant spatial and temporal flow variability through the fractures. Steady state flow was not reached for the duration of the experiments, either through individual small regions or across the entire flow domain, although the boundary conditions were kept relatively constant. Moreover, flow trajectories within the fracture plane, defined by tracer tests, varied over time. Over 70% of the fluid flux was transmitted through less than 20% of the studied fracture openings. Water flow through the fracture was focused into dissolution channels, which were typically associated with fracture intersections. The flow through these channels was governed primarily by the mineralogical composition of the filling material and the inner structure of the fracture voids. In particular, salt dissolution, solid-particle migration and clay swelling were found to be the main processes controlling flow through these dissolution paths; these processes account for the observed unstable flow regime. Our results suggest that models for simulating water percolation through fractures in the vadose zone, at least in chalk formations, should consider the mapping of fracture intersections, in addition to the more common mapping of fractures. Moreover, detailed characterization of these fracture geometries is not the sole key parameter determining fracture flow patterns--flow is also strongly controlled by physical variations in the filling materials during wetting and drying cycles.

T1 - Flow and transport through unsaturated fractured rock; an overview
AN - 52008485; 2003-023697
AB - Groundwater flow and contaminant transport through the unsaturated zone continue to receive attention as former nuclear weapons development sites are being characterized for determining decommissioning options, and geologic sites are being considered for deep disposal of nuclear and hazardous waste. The ability to make decisions with regard to cleanup, site suitability, and anticipated performance of disposal or storage facilities is dependent upon the characterization and modeling of unsaturated flow and transport features, events, and processes. Hazardous materials may be mobilized by infiltrating water and move downward to affect groundwater resources. These contaminants may also move upward or laterally by capillary movement or as vapor to the accessible environment. Substantial experience exists with respect to near-surface partially saturated porous media, traditionally the domain of the soil scientists and geotechnical engineers, but does not exist for fractured rock in either near-surface or deep, complex, unsaturated systems that are now being characterized and modeled. The ability to represent these complex systems composed of both a matrix and a fracture component is being tested through a variety of field experiments and comparisons to natural analogues. The present focus is on evaluating conceptual flow and transport models and quantifying the spatial and temporal parameters for these models using laboratory and field methods, and environmental tracer analyses. Modeling of these dynamic and transient systems has followed two paths, porous equivalency and discrete fracture models. In general, characterization methods and modeling are in the confirmation stage with the greatest lack of knowledge being the interaction between fracture and matrix properties for flow and transport.

T1 - Hydrogeologic investigations of flow in fractured tuffs, Rainier Mesa, Nevada Test Site
AN - 52008001; 2003-023705
AB - Rainier Mesa, a primary site for nuclear testing, is located in the north central area of the Nevada Test Site, and is composed of highly fractured and altered Tertiary tuffs. A hydrogeologic study was conducted within the mesa concentrating on several parameters: the source of ground water found in Rainier Mesa, period of principal recharge, ground-water travel time between the mesa surface and the tunnel level, period of hydraulic response, and total amount of recharge per year to U12n Tunnel recharge basin. The data base consists of: the precipitation record, discharge record of seeps within Rainier Mesa, the gross chemistry and stable isotopic composition of these seeps, and two tracer studies conducted from the mesa surface. Results indicate that ground water is of recent meteoric origin, winter is the period of principal recharge, the period of hydrologic response is at least four months, the total recharge is approximately eight percent of the precipitation which falls on the U 12n recharge basin, and travel time is estimated as greater than one year and less than six. These observations describe an environment which has been subjected to nuclear testing since 1957. It is certain that this testing has altered the hydrogeochemical environment and it is suspected that some alteration of the hydraulic system has also occurred.

T1 - Numerical modeling of isothermal and nonisothermal flow in unsaturated fractured rock; a review
AN - 52007961; 2003-023698
AB - In recent years, considerable efforts have been made to study the feasibility of geologic disposal of high-level nuclear wastes in deep unsaturated zones in desert environments. The tuff formations at and near the Nevada Test Site, which are under consideration for this purpose, are comprised of fractured-porous material, with hydrologic properties quite different from those encountered in most previous unsaturated flow studies dealing with soils. Another difference from "conventional" unsaturated flow is that in the vicinity of the waste packages, flow is driven by high temperatures (exceeding 100 degrees C) and large temperature gradients. The approximations developed in soil science for weakly nonisothermal flow are not applicable to this situation, and a multiphase description of flow is required, similar to approaches used in modeling of geothermal reservoirs and thermally enhanced oil recovery. The conventional approach to unsaturated flow is applicable, however, to a variety of problems relating to natural (undisturbed) and far-field flow conditions. This paper reviews recent work on numerical modeling of unsaturated flow undertaken in the context of nuclear waste isolation studies. Concepts and applications of broader interest are summarized, including the role of fractures in partially saturated flow, the response of a fractured medium to infiltration events, and a simplified description of flow based on an effective continuum approximation. It is pointed out that the heat released from the waste packages gives rise to multi-phase flow with heat pipe effects, which may have dramatic impact on thermal and hydrologic conditions. A number of important issues are identified which have not been adequately explored. These include the possibility that liquid water may flow along the rough walls of fractures, the bulk of which is drained. Pre-existing or induced fracture coatings may have significant hydrologic effects. Large-scale moisture movement may be important to describe natural (nearly isothermal) hydrologic conditions as well as waste-induced gas phase convection far beyond the thermally disturbed zone. The importance of model validation and calibration with laboratory and field measurements of unsaturated flow in fractured rock is emphasized.

T1 - Flow and transport parameters for colonnade networks
AN - 52007841; 2003-023708
AB - Numerical simulations are conducted to obtain asymptotic estimates of equivalent continuum hydraulic conductivity, porosity and macrodispersivity for discrete colonnade network models of fractured basalts. For colonnades with lognormally distributed apertures and a column diameter of 1 m, the equivalent hydraulic conductivities and porosities for single realizations are directionally dependent at smaller length scales but show little directional dependence for networks that are in excess of 20 times the column diameter. The length scale requirements for directionally isotropic macrodispersivities are much more stringent than those for hydraulic conductivity and porosity; macrodispersivities are directionally dependent at length scales of up to 30 times the column diameter. The computed asymptotic and preasymptotic macrodispersivities are compared with available stochastic solutions; the ensemble-based numerical data are in excellent agreement with Dagan (1984, 1988) and Gelhar and Axness (1983) solutions. However, for individual realizations, nonergodic behavior is clearly apparent in the near-source, evolving region of transport and the numerical data are quite variable between realizations.

T1 - Flow and transport through unsaturated fractured rock; an overview
AN - 52007808; 2003-023696
AB - This monograph is an update and revision of the first edition, Geophysical Monograph 42, on ground-water flow and transport through unsaturated, fractured rock, published by AGU in 1987. The first edition evolved from a special symposium held during the American Geophysical Union fall meetings in San Francisco in December 1986. Invited and contributed papers at that AGU session, as well as panel presentations, focused on conceptualizing, measuring and modeling flow and transport through unsaturated fractured rock. As noted in the preface to the first edition, "the expanded interest in the topic (water flow and contaminant transport through unsaturated fractured rock) was initiated when the U.S. Geological Survey proposed that deep unsaturated zones in arid regions be considered in the site selection for the first high-level, commercially generated radioactive waste repository." Much of the research reported in that first edition was motivated by the U.S. Department of Energy's program to investigate Yucca Mountain at the Nevada Test Site as a possible geologic repository for commercially generated, high-level radioactive waste. As noted in the overview paper of the first edition, "characterization methods and modeling are in their developmental stage with the greatest lack of knowledge being the interaction between fracture and matrix flow and transport properties." Although the first edition of this monograph reflected the state-of-the science, laboratory and field experimental programs were novel and limited and, in general, followed from the principles and methods developed in the soil science community.

T1 - A collaborative approach to methane hydrate research and development activities
AN - 51873677; 2004-024110
AB - It is now clear that methane hydrates contain enormous volumes of natural gas and have the potential to play a major role in future global energy supplies. Recent developments indicate that the prospects for economic production of methane from hydrates are good, and could occur much sooner than previously thought. To ensure that the United States remains a leader in hydrates research and technology, the Department of Energy's (DOE) Strategic Center for Natural Gas (SCNG) at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is charged with coordinating a comprehensive national research and development program in all aspects of methane hydrates. In advance of attempts at commercial exploitation, our program will support fundamental studies that will improve the understanding of the nature of hydrates, the impact of hydrates on the strength and stability of ocean-bottom sediments, and the interaction of the global hydrate reservoir with the world's oceans and atmosphere. This report outlines these key methane hydrate research and development (R&D) issues, reviews DOE's past and current hydrate programs, and outlines our plans for a coordinated and collaborative R&D program in which the nation's best minds are efficiently brought to bear on the challenge of maximizing the potential benefits of natural methane hydrates.

T1 - Regional coda magnitudes in Central Asia and mb(Lg) transportability
AN - 51337228; 2002-068948
AB - Local and near regional coda have been shown to provide accurate and precise estimates of source, path and site effects. Using empirical methods, we investigate the use of coda to determine moments and magnitudes using regional distance (to 2500 km) data from 21 stations in central Asia and China. We find source levels for bands between 33 s and 8 Hz from events recorded at Urumchi (WMQ) to be a factor of two more consistent for coda than for direct waves, for bands outside the microseism range. However, the anticipated path averaging of regional coda is insufficient to remove bias in all but the lowest frequency bands. We correct for path bias by spatially interpolating coda levels relative to m (sub b) (PDE). For higher bands (1 Hz), the spatial correction patterns vary by an order of magnitude and are similar to patterns obtained using direct L (sub g) . For the lowest band (20-33 s) the maximum spatial variation shrinks to under a factor of 4 and changes sign, reflecting effects other than crustal Q. Thus, the low frequency coda could be useful for correcting for source effects in empirical or tomographic path studies, which is currently performed using m (sub b) . After removing path bias from coda measurements, we find that amplitude measurement consistency between all 21 stations varies considerably from pair to pair (sigma = 0.12 to 0.37), with longer interstation distance, low-Q surroundings and poor site conditions yielding the least stable measurements. CMT based moments (Mw) derived from 20-33 s WMQ coda are verified by comparing with moments derived from waveform fitting studies (sigma = 0.18). We continue investigations into the transportability of regional magnitudes using the m (sub b) (L (sub g) ) scale devised by Nuttli. Previous work has shown that m (sub b) (L (sub g) ) is portable for earthquakes provided that L (sub g) attenuation is well calibrated for propagation paths. In this study, our focus shifts to explosion sources, and the question of transportability of m (sub b) (L (sub g) ) for different test sites. We revisit Nuttli's results, which were based on observations at far-regional and teleseismic distances, and depended critically upon accurate knowledge of the L (sub g) Qo. In this paper, measurements of m (sub b) (L (sub g) ) are reported for stations within 1000 km, and as such, errors due to uncertainties in the path correction are smaller than was the case for Nuttli's measurements.

T1 - Fourier analysis for quantitative interpretation of self-potential anomalies caused by horizontal cylinder and sphere
AN - 51156856; 2004-023130
AB - Spectral analysis approach using Fourier transform has been developed for the interpretation of SP anomalies due to horizontal cylinder and sphere like structures. Fourier amplitude and phase spectra related to the SP anomaly are derived and analyzed in order to adopt an interpretation procedure aiming at evaluating the geometric and physical parameters of these two studied structures. The validity of the new proposed method has been tested on synthetic examples, where it has been found a close agreement between assumed and computed values. A field example from the Ergani Copper district, Turkey has also been analyzed and interpreted by the proposed method, where an acceptable agreement has been noticed between the obtained results and other published results.

T1 - Low activity spectrometric gamma-gamma borehole logging tool for the metalliferous industry
AN - 51153251; 2004-023128
AB - The low activity spectrometric gamma-gamma technique was applied to the quantitative determination of lead and zinc grades in boreholes well-logging. The tool was centralized and employed a gamma -ray source of very low activity (1.8 MBq). The log tool was tested separately using (i) (super 133) Ba and (ii) (super 137) Cs with 37 (super *) 75 mm NaI (TI) scintillation detector. Five source-detector configurations was studied and analyzed in the present work. The calibration equations for lead (Pb) and Zinc Metal Equivalent (ZME) prediction using Barium and Cesium sources have been quantitatively described for every studied configuration. The optimum configuration for the logging probe using a (super 133) Ba source is determined to be 52 mm source to detector spacing. This configuration gives the best results for both Pb and ZME grade. The r.m.s. deviation for Pb and ZME are 0.33 and 2.3% respectively. The optimum configuration for the logging probe using a (super 137) Cs source is determined to be 64 mm source to detector spacing. This configuration gives the best results for both Pb and ZME grade. The r.m.s. deviation for Pb and ZME are 0.36 and 2.2% respectively. The advantage of using low activity (super 137) Cs source is that this radioactive source does not need an extra source for spectrum gain stabilization, where the same source is used for both primary sources of radiation and gain stabilization. In addition, (super 137) Cs source is characterized by longer half- life and greater penetration effect of its gamma radiation. The low activity (super 133) Ba source however necessitates an additional (super 137) Cs microsource for gain stabilization. The tool is sensitive to changes in Zeq number of the matrix surrounding the borehole and could find application in the metalliferous mining industry for ore body delineation. Due to its very low gamma -ray source activity and lightweight, the tool is ideal for use with portable logging systems and underground mining operations.

T1 - New methodology surface to hole for the detection of deep conductors around drillholes using DC methods; case study from Rouez Mine, Bretagne, France
AN - 51152141; 2004-023132
AB - A new geoelectrical configuration, surface to hole for the detection of deep conductors around drillholes, using the D.C. has been proposed. This new configuration is characterized by its high depth penetration compared with the other known traditional geoelectrical methods, applied from surface and in the wells. It presents a directional effect, which is one of the most important advantages of this configuration that proves its superiority. This configuration has been tested in the Rouez mine, Bretagne, France, where sulphide mineralisation is known to occur. Several anomalies have been isolated in the field data and interpreted by different interpretative techniques. The results obtained by applying this configuration were concordant and the detected conductors were approved by morphological and lithological descriptions.

T1 - American Petroleum Institute Project 43 and the origin of modern petroleum microbiology
AN - 51112560; 2006-054564
AB - In 1942, American Petroleum Institute Project 43 was initiated with the assistance of three major university research groups and was funded via private industry. Fueled by the WWII war efforts, the aims of the project were to investigate the roles of physical, chemical and biological forces in the transformation of organic material into petroleum. Basic studies on microbial activities related to petroleum recovery and degradation were directed by marine microbiologist Dr. Claude ZoBell at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the results were published extensively in journals and oil industry publications between 1943 and 1955. Studies by ZoBell's group established the presence of bacteria in recent and ancient sediments, in oil field fluids recovered from great depths, and living at extremely high temperatures and pressures. Specific bacteria were found to be instrumental in liberating oil from oil-bearing sedimentary rocks by dissolving carbonates, producing detergents, and decreasing the viscosity of oil. In addition, the ability of bacteria to degrade hydrocarbons was shown to be relatively commonplace, a characteristic that has been widely exploited in the bioremediation of accidental oil spills.

T1 - Infrasonic source location of the April 23, 2001, bolide event
AN - 50229475; 2002-049245
AB - An infrasonic event with a 10- to 15-minute duration was detected by multiple infrasonic arrays on April 23, 2001. Data from infrasound arrays IS59 (Hawaii), FAI (Fairbanks), and IS57 (California) are selected for the determination of the origin time and the location of the infrasonic source. The bolide was not observed by infrasonic stations operating in South America or the South Pacific. There were also no confirmed detections from ocean-bottom seismometers and hydroacoustic sensors near the epicenter. A preliminary location was obtained from array back azimuths, and this location was used as a seed for the source iteration process. We compare the estimates obtained for the source location and origin time using different atmospheric models and different stations. The tau-p method is used to estimate theoretical travel times, and we estimate the source position by reducing the time residuals. The variability in the locations may be due to errors in the atmospheric models, the propagation models, or the array estimates. We outline the algorithm used for the location of infrasonic sources, and assess the accuracy of two-and three-station epicentral determinations.

T1 - Hydroacoustic blockage at Diego Garcia; models and observations
AN - 50228733; 2002-049241
AB - Hydroacoustic blockage occurs when a bathymetric feature (island, atoll or seamount) is in the path of propagating acoustic energy. An understanding of hydroacoustic blockage is essential when planning an array location, mapping detection and localization coverage, and interpreting hydroacoustic reflection data. The new hydroacoustic array at Diego Garcia, which actually consists of two sub-arrays on either side of the atoll, provides an excellent opportunity for evaluating model predictions of blockage using the recordings of T-waves from shallow earthquakes in the Indian Ocean. The latest release of HydroCAM, our long-range hydroacoustic modeling program, includes the Sandwell and Smith 2-minute-resolution bathymetry database. To model hydroacoustic blockage at Diego Garcia, we used this capability to perform a series of fan-ray calculations for both sub-arrays at 2-degree azimuth increments. These rays were compared with previous calculations using the ETOPO5 5-minute grid, both to verify the database integration and to compare the two databases. We used two criteria for hydroacoustic blockage: - The bathymetry is shallower than 50 meters (thereby blocking most propagating acoustic energy). - The bathymetry is shallower than the Sound Channel Axis depth in the region (thereby blocking acoustic energy in the SCA). These criteria result in binary blockage evaluations; that is, either the ray path is blocked or it is not. However, observations indicate that the process of blockage is more complicated. For example, ray paths coming from the north should be blocked by the atoll and not be observed at the south array. Acoustic data from the south array shows that although the energy is attenuated, arrivals can easily be identified. In order to resolve some of the modeling issues, we have compiled a waveform database of about three dozen shallow earthquakes in the Indian Ocean recorded by the Diego Garcia subarrays. These events cover nearly all azimuths around Diego Garcia. Using this dataset, we have computed a 360-degree blockage chart for Diego Garcia that shows the frequency dependence of energy attenuation around the atoll. We have also suggested some improvements to the models that will improve our blockage prediction capability.

T1 - Initial analysis of data from the new Diego Garcia hydroacoustic station
AN - 50228708; 2002-049237
AB - The Prototype International Data Center (PIDC) began standard processing of data from the first of the new International Monitoring System's (IMS) hydrophone stations in November 2000. The station (designated HA08) is located off the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean (Lawrence et al, 2000). This is the first IMS hydroacoustic station that allows for coherent multi-sensor waveform processing. It provides better azimuthal arrival determination than was possible with the older IMS hydroacoustic stations. The station is not a classical hydrophone array, and standard array processing techniques may not produce the best results. Soon, two more stations, similar in design, will become operational in the Indian Ocean. It is important that we learn how these stations can best contribute to the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty's (CTBT's) hydroacoustic monitoring program. The new station consists of six hydrophones arranged in two triads. The northern triad is 190 km northwest of the Diego Garcia atoll, and the southern triad is 30 km south of the atoll. The hydrophones are arranged in near equilateral triangles with sides approximately 2.5 km in length. The hydrophones are tethered to the sea floor and are suspended near the sound channel axis depth by subsurface buoys. The archipelago forms a large bathymetric obstruction between the two triads so signals observed at one triad are often completely or partially blocked at the other triad. Each hydrophone produces on the order of 50 detections/day. The automatic system classifies the detections into three categories (N -- noise, T -- earthquake-generated signals, and H -- signals that appear to be generated from an impulsive in-water event). The azimuth of arrival is determined for most detections. Because we lack ground truth, determining the accuracy of estimated azimuths is difficult. From earthquake locations, the southern triad's azimuth residuals have a standard deviation of approximately 2 degrees . The northern triad detections have much greater residuals (often 50 degrees or more), but most of the large outliers are from signals with partially blocked paths. Reflected acoustic waves appear to interfere with the direct signal. Establishing accurate error estimates for the azimuths as well as other signal features is a primary goal of this research.

T1 - Implosion source development and Diego Garcia reflections
AN - 50228262; 2002-049238
AB - Calibration of hydroacoustic stations for nuclear explosion monitoring is important for increasing monitoring capability and confidence from newly installed stations and from existing stations. Past work at Ascension Island has shown that ship-towed airguns can be effectively used for local calibrations such as sensor location, amplitude and phase response, and T-phase coupling in the case of T-phase stations. At regional and ocean-basin distances from a station, the calibration focus is on acoustic travel time, transmission loss, bathymetric shadowing, diffraction, and reflection as recorded at a particular station. Such station calibrations will lead to an overall network calibration that seeks to maximize detection, location, and discrimination capability of events with acoustic signatures. Active-source calibration of hydroacoustic stations at regional and ocean-basin scales has not been attempted to date, but we have made significant headway addressing how such calibrations could be accomplished. We have developed an imploding sphere source that can be used instead of explosives on research and commercial vessels without restriction. The imploding sphere has been modeled using the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory hydrodynamic code CALE and shown to agree with field data. The need for boosted energy in the monitoring band (2-100 Hz) has led us to develop a 5-sphere implosion device that was tested in the Pacific Ocean earlier this year. Boosting the energy in the monitoring band can be accomplished by a combination of increasing the implosion volume (i.e. the 5-sphere device) and imploding at shallower depths. Although active source calibrations will be necessary at particular locations and for particular objectives, the newly installed Diego Garcia station in the Indian Ocean has shown that earthquakes can be used to help understand regional blockages and the locations responsible for observed hydroacoustic reflections. We have analyzed several events with a back azimuth from Diego Garcia between 100 and 140 degrees. The Diego Garcia records show a pronounced reflection that correlates in travel time and back azimuth (calculated using the waveform cross-correlation of the tri-partite array elements to determine lag time across the array) with a reflector at the Saya de Malha Bank, on the Seychelles-Mauritius Plateau. We also show that to accurately predict blockage and reflection regions, it is essential to have detailed bathymetry in relatively small but critical areas.

AB - The Research and Development Support System (RDSS) at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency's (DTRA) Center for Monitoring Research (CMR) provides a broad range of support to the nuclear explosion monitoring research and development (R&D) community. This support covers all aspects of R&D, from support for basic research to integration and testing of R&D results. The RDSS provides researchers with an interface to the wide range of data resources available at CMR, such as: near-real-time waveform data from International Monitoring System (IMS) and other stations; multi-terabyte seismic, hydroacoustic and infrasonic waveform archives; radionuclide databases; and past and present products of both the Prototype International Data Center (PIDC) and the International Data Centre (IDC). Databases and products available through the RDSS are continually updated and improved. For example, the locations of historical nuclear explosions can, in some cases, be refined to levels suitable for designation as Ground Truth 1 (GT1) or GT2 through the use of high-resolution (1-meter) panchromatic and multi-spectral satellite imagery available from commercial vendors. The process involves the analysis and interpretation of the imagery to identify features that provide constraints on the location. Features are characterized as either providing direct location information (e.g. subsidence craters) or constraining information (e.g. adits, tailings) and are correlated to seismic solutions resulting in the establishment of ground truth locations. One-meter-resolution commercial satellite imagery was also obtained and analyzed for the test sites at Novaya Zemlya, Lop Nor, India, and Pakistan. The ground truth locations obtained for the May 28 and May 30, 1998, underground nuclear tests in Pakistan were used to evaluate the locations produced at CMR using Joint Hypocenter Determination. Imagery data products, including detailed annotated maps derived from the imagery, are being made available through the RDSS web site. The RDSS receives deliveries from DTRA-sponsored researchers, redistributes these research results, and adds delivered results, when appropriate, to existing databases to create value-added products. Recent deliveries include such items as a unique set of infrasound recordings from atmospheric nuclear explosions in the Former Soviet Union and hydroacoustic recordings of underwater explosions. The RDSS uses the facilities and capabilities of CMR to evaluate R&D results to assess their potential impact on monitoring system capability. Testing can range from the full data load of the IMS stations and the full processing environment of the IDC, to highly specific tests confined to special data sets. For example, Source Specific Station Corrections (SSSC's) being delivered to the RDSS will be tested under the full IMS data load in both automatic and interactive processing environments. The RDSS web site (http://www.cmr.gov/rdss) provides a central location for information about the RDSS. The web site provides access to all items delivered to the RDSS, as well as RDSS data and products such as the satellite imagery described above.

T1 - Regional seismic threshold monitoring
AN - 50226297; 2002-049251
AB - Beginning in September 2000, a large number of small seismic events has been detected in the area near the accident of the submarine Kursk. According to an official Russian announcement, these were underwater explosions carried out by the Russian Navy. This explosion sequence, with numerous explosions ranging in magnitude from very small (about 1.0 on the Richter scale) to fairly large (about magnitude 2.5), provides a unique opportunity to investigate the performance of the threshold monitoring technique. We have thus implemented an experimental site-specific threshold monitoring procedure to monitor the Kursk accident area in the Barents Sea, which has proved to be an efficient tool for revealing small events in this region. As an integral part of our work to develop an optimized, automatic capability to monitor the seismicity of Novaya Zemlya and adjacent waters of the Kara and Barents Seas, a database of records from seismic events in the area has been compiled, based on information contained in bulletins published by various agencies. The database comprises records from 43 events, carefully selected so as to cover the area with ray paths in the best possible way. Since the major part of the area under study is basically aseismic, the majority of the events in this database is confined to Svalbard, the western Barents Sea, northern Norway, the Kola Peninsula and Novaya Zemlya. The events are earthquakes, mining blasts, other chemical and nuclear explosions, and some are of unknown nature. Magnitudes range from 2 to 4.5, except for two nuclear explosions with magnitudes exceeding 5. Records have been compiled from the ARCES, FINES, NORES, Apatity and Spitsbergen arrays and from the Amderma 3-component station, and have been supplemented by waveforms for KBS, KEV and LVZ requested from Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS). All events have been reanalyzed, and revised event origins as well as consolidated phase identifications have been obtained. The database is being used to determine travel times and frequency-dependent attenuation relations for the various regional phases. This effort will also provide information on the efficiency of Sn and Lg propagation in this area and its correlation with regional geological structures. The information derived from this study will be quantified in terms of parameters that will be needed in the regional seismic threshold monitoring of Novaya Zemlya and adjacent areas. An important input parameter to regional seismic threshold monitoring is the uncertainty associated with the regional phase attenuation models. From pair-wise comparisons of P-amplitudes form the explosions detonated in the area near the Kursk accident, we find for the arrays on mainland Fennoscandia (ARCES, Apatity, FINES, NORES, and HFS) an inherent single-array magnitude scatter (standard deviation) of about 0.10-0.13 magnitude units. The locations of these explosions show a distribution over a 30-50 km wide area, which is significantly smaller than the resolution of a regional threshold monitoring scheme for Novaya Zemlya and adjacent waters of the Kara and Barents Seas. This suggests that we would be unable to operate any regional threshold monitoring application with an uncertainty better than 0.1 magnitude units for P-phases. Preliminary data analysis indicates that an existing regional P-based attenuation model for Fennoscandia and adjacent areas exhibits a scatter of about 0.25 magnitude units when considering events in the entire Barents Sea region.

T1 - Insights on Worker Safety and Health Issues
AN - 20268006; 8802892
AB - Goal and Background. In 1990, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Laboratory Directors Environmental and Occupational/Public Health Standards Steering Group (SSG) was formed to help establish risk as an organizing principle for environmental cleanup. It was hoped that risk-based cleanup standards would rationalize how clean up work was prioritized within DOE programs and that the SSG could initiate changes to lead to the incorporation of such standards. Whereas the DOE environmental management program was often said to reduce risks, it was clear that disturbing contaminated sites or buildings could put workers at risk. In a real sense, the site remediation process involves the transfer of a hypothetical risk to the environment and the public from isolated contamination into real risks to the workers engaged in the remediation activities. The SSG sought to understand how such risks were managed and how DOE could act to further control and reduce such risks. Over the course of two years, the SSG intensively studied worker safety and health issues associated with environmental remediation activities. The goal of this paper is to summarize the insights gained from this study. Scope. This article reports on the insights resulting from three separate meetings involving workers, their representatives, experts in risk analysis and communication, and site representatives. A commonality was found between the situation facing workers involved in the remediation of DOE and DOD sites and one meeting was cosponsored by the US Air Force. Conclusions. Reduction of risks to the environment and the public is the primary motivation for remedial action. The risks that are incurred by workers during the different phases of a remediation project are seldom considered in determining whether such projects are initiated. Thus, while environmental restoration is driven by the need to protect against hypothetical future risks, less weight is given to exposing workers against real and immediate hazards to their person. Workers have not generally been accorded the same right to participate in cleanup decisions as other important stakeholders and, sadly, both management and workers themselves do not seem to value safety highly.

T1 - An Independent Peer Review Process for Environmental Technology
AN - 20262555; 8802896
AB - The Office of Science and Technology of US Department of Energy's (DOE) Environmental Management Program, manages what is perhaps the world's largest research and demonstration program in environmental technology. A novel Independent Peer Review Program (PRP) was instituted in 1996. The PRP has demonstrated significant value in response to external criticism and review, as well as an invaluable management tool. From the onset, the PRP has been managed by a competent and credible organization that is independent of the DOE. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the Institute for Regulatory Science, both independent non-profit organizations, manage the program. The PRP provides decision-makers with uniform, independent, and unimpeachable technical reviews to assess the scientific and engineering merit of technology development in support of environmental restoration. A key component of this assessment is to evaluate the impact of the new technology on reducing risks of workers involved in environmental restoration. The PRP process involves establishing a Review Panel tailored for each specific peer review, which is disbanded once the review is completed. The success of the PRP depends primarily upon the careful selection of peer review criteria. General criteria are identified and used to assign specific criteria for review of each project. The general categories of criteria are technical validity; relevancy; economics; safety, risk, and related topics; personnel and facilities; and overall assessment. The product of the technical peer review is a Technical Peer Review Report, which also incorporates DOE's response to the report of the Review Panel. The report is included in an ASME Annual Report, which includes the final reports for all peer reviews conducted during the year. Over 175 technology projects have been peer reviewed to date, with 30-40 technologies being reviewed each year. About six percent of the technologies reviewed are rejected as result of the reviews. This paper discusses details of the DOE's peer review program and its contributions to the improvement of its technology development program. Furthermore, it addresses how the DOE was able to gain the insight and analysis of experts in an unbiased setting, therefore providing its stakeholders with better results for their investment.

T1 - EML Gamma Spectrometry Data Evaluation Program
AN - 19392613; 7157517
AB - This report presents the results of the analyses for the third EML Gamma Spectrometry Data Evaluation Program (October 1999). This program assists laboratories in providing more accurate gamma spectra analysis results and provides a means for users of gamma data to assess how a laboratory performed on various types of gamma spectrometry analyses. This is accomplished through the use of synthetic gamma spectra. A calibration spectrum, a background spectrum, and three sample spectra are sent to each participant in the spectral file format requested by the laboratory. The calibration spectrum contains nuclides covering the energy range from 59.5 keV to 1836 keV. The participants are told fallout and fission product nuclides could be present. The sample spectra are designed to test the ability of the software and user to properly resolve multiplets and to identify and quantify nuclides in a complicated fission product spectrum. The participants were asked to report values and uncertainties as Becquerel per sample with no decay correction. Thirty-one sets of results were reported from a total of 60 laboratories who received the spectra. Six foreign laboratories participated. The percentage of the results within 1 times times of the expected value was 68, 33, and 46 for samples 1, 2, and 3, respectively. From all three samples, 18% of the results were more than 3 times times from the expected value. Eighty-three (12%) values out of a total of 682 expected results were not reported for the three samples. Approximately 30% of these false negatives were due the laboratories not reporting super(144)Pr in sample 2 which was present at the minimum detectable activity level. There were 53 false positives reported with 25% of these responses due to problems with background subtraction. The results show improvement in the ability of the software or user to resolve peaks separated by 1 keV. Improvement is still needed either in the analysis report produced by the software or in the review of these results by the users.

T1 - Element Concentrations in Groundwater in the Eastern Phosphate Area and Southern Volcanic Area of Syria
AN - 18235252; 5299690
AB - The concentration of the elements K, Ca, Mg, Na, Sr, Al, As, Ba, Br, Ce, Cr, Fe, Nb, Rb, Se, Sm, V, Zn, Co, Cs, U, Sb, Sc, Th, Eu and Hf in groundwater samples from the eastern phosphate and the southern volcanic area of Syria were investigated using INAA (instrumental neutron activation analysis) and gamma -spectroscopy. The concentrations of first and second group elements are higher in the phosphate area than in the volcanic area. The concentrations of Fe, Co, Cr, Sc, Eu and Sm are high in some samples from the southern volcanic area. This can be explained by the occurrence of these elements in surrounding rocks and the solubility of their compounds. The results are compared with drinking water limits from different countries.

T1 - U.S. EPA's aquatic animal production effluent limitations guidelines and standards
AN - 18083564; 5165986
AB - EPA is developing national regulations to control pollutant discharges from the wastewaters of the aquatic animal production industry. EPA has court-ordered deadlines to propose these regulations in June 2002, and to take final action by June 2004. The Clean Water Act is the authority that directs EPA to issue these regulations, which are known as "effluent limitations guidelines and standards." The regulations will be based on the performance of wastewater treatment technologies or on management practices. The regulations will apply to facilities that discharge wastewater directly into waters of the U.S. and also to facilities that discharge into publicly owned treatment works (POTWs). EPA's current activities focus on data gathering, site visits, and wastewater sampling. In addition, EPA plans to distribute a questionnaire to collect information on species produced, production levels, wastewater generation, wastewater treatment processes, waste disposal methods, capital and operating and maintenance costs, and revenues. EPA will use the information to conduct engineering and economic analyses. The engineering analysis will estimate the cost of reducing pollutants through use of the best available technologies, and the economic analysis will project whether those technologies are affordable. One of the many sources EPA is using for information is the interagency federal Joint Subcommittee on Aquaculture (JSA). The JSA consists of many federal agency members. In response to the interest and concern from non federal members (mainly the industry), the JSA formed the Aquaculture Effluents Task Force (AETF) for any interested individual to participate in the regulatory process. Members of the AETF consist of federal agency representatives, individuals from academia, industry, environmental organizations, state government and other who are contributing to the collection, review and reporting of data and information.

T1 - Determination of the D/H Ratio in Natural Waters of Syria
AN - 17841709; 4872891
AB - Natural water samples were collected from various locations in Syria and were analyzed to determine the D/H ratio, using stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry. Three types of water (a, b and c) were found. The D/H ratios were from 156.6 x 10 super(-6) to 148.9 x 10 super(-6), 159.9 x 10 super(-6) to 158.1 x 10 super(-6), and 170.7 x 10 super(-6) to 153.4 x 10 super(-6) for a-, b- and c-type waters, respectively. The most characterized locations were found in closed dam reservoir (c-type). It is estimated that the D/H ratio in c-type water is proportional to the mean daily evaporation rate and accumulation efficiency and is inversely proportional to the water mean depth. The electrical conductivity is found to be proportional to the D/H value for each separate location of c-type water.

T1 - Estimation of doses received by patients undergoing radiological examinations in Greece
AN - 17840800; 4872474
AB - This study deals with the estimation of doses received by patients undergoing radiological examinations in order to establish diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) within the process of optimisation of patients' exposure in Greece. Six large hospitals in Athens were selected and 385 patients made up the sample. The entrance surface doses (ESDs) to patients undertaking five common X ray examinations (chest, cervical spine, lumbar spine AP and LAT, pelvis) were estimated using both thermoluminescence dosemeters (TLDs) attached to the patient's skin and an ionisation chamber for air kerma measurements. Exposure settings and patient's data were recorded. Results concerning the kilovoltage and focus-to-film-distance (FFD) settings and the ESD values were analysed and compared to those recommended by the EU. Discrepancies in the patient doses and techniques used for the examinations studied were found among the different hospitals denoting the importance of establishing a national quality assurance programme and examination protocols to ensure patient doses are kept as low as possible. All the examinations studied fulfilled the EU recommendations except that for the chest where the doses were considerably higher due to the use of low kV sub(p) settings.
