TY - RPRT T1 - REMEDIATON OF THE MOAB URANIUM MILL TAILINGS, GRAND AND SAN JUAN COUNTIES, UTAH. [Part 60 of 94] 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.

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. 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.

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 - 36378441; 050490F-050313_0086 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.

AN - 36377689; 050490F-050313_0030 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.

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 - 36374365; 050490F-050313_0064 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.

AN - 36373276; 050490F-050313_0028 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.

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 - 36369220; 050490F-050313_0065 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 - 36366238; 050490F-050313_0085 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.

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 - 36365832; 050490F-050313_0074 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.

AN - 36364525; 050490F-050313_0031 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.

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.

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.

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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. JF - RESEARCH REACTOR UTILIZATION, SAFETY, DECOMMISSIONING, FUEL AND WASTE MANAGEMENT.

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.

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.

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 - 16347357; 11512 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. JF - Science (New York, N.Y.)

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).

[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.

AN - 905874840; 11362-3_0002 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.

[Part 10 of 10] T2 - CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A MIXED OXIDE FUEL FABRICATION FACILITY AT THE SAVANNAH RIVER SITE, SOUTH CAROLINA. AN - 905874416; 11362-3_0010 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.

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.

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.

N1 - Last updated - 2012-06-07 ER - TY - JOUR 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - EARLY SITE PERMIT AT THE NORTH ANNA SITE, LAKE ANNA, VIRGINIA. AN - 36367642; 11308-040569_0001 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.

Preparation date: December 7, 2004 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - JOUR 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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.
