TY - JOUR T1 - A review of flood lavas across the solar system AN - 902066287; 2011-092298 AB - The goal of this presentation is to review the current understanding of flood lavas across the Solar System. Flood lavas are a major geologic component of the surfaces of all the larger silicate bodies in the Solar System. They play a key role in regulating the transfer of heat from the interior to the surface and have significant impact on the atmosphere. On Earth, they appear to have influenced mass extinctions. The vast majority of terrestrial flood lavas were emplaced as inflated pahoehoe flows, with eruption rates on the order of 1000-10 000 m (super 3) /s and eruption durations of order years to decades. These eruptions were fed from long fissure systems with episodic activity along different segments. Broad sheets of liquid lava moved underneath a thick insulating crust, allowing very extensive lava flow fields to be emplaced over an extended period of time. This was suggested to be the "Standard Way of Emplacing Long Lavas" or the "SWELL" hypothesis (Self et al., 1998, Annu. Rev. Earth Planet. Sci.). Further insight has come from flood lavas in other parts of the Solar System. In particular, the active examples on Jupiter's moon, Io, and young flood lavas on Mars show styles of emplacement not recognized in terrestrial studies alone. Io is home to the longest active lava flows in the Solar System. In general, isolated vents that have not moved for decades feed highly mafic lava through tubes at eruption rates of 100-1000 m (super 3) /s. A major exception is the 1997 Pillan eruption, which produced a new >5600 km (super 2) sheet flow in a matter of months. On Mars, the equatorial plains are covered by vast flood lavas that appear remarkably pristine, with the sparse craters suggesting ages <200 Ma and in some cases possibly <20 Ma. These lavas appear to have been emplaced as fast-moving flows with an unstable crust, forming a distinctive platy-ridged surface morphology. Upon comparison to Icelandic flows, the platy-ridged lavas were found to correspond to an enigmatic terrestrial lava type that has been named "rubbly pahoehoe". Rubbly pahoehoe is now inferred to be diagnostic of rapid emplacement and has been found in several different terrestrial flood basalt provinces. It is the broad view across the Solar System that is allowing us to appreciate the wide range of emplacement styles that can produce long lava flows. The application of this understanding affects the interpretation of earlier data (such as the Apollo missions to the Moon) and should be considered in planning future planetary exploration.

Public schools currently spend more than $8 billion per year for energy. School energy expenditures rose, on average, 20 percent per year between 2000 and 2002--and the costs continue to rise. Natural gas prices alone increased 14 percent annually between 2003 and 2006. Improving a school's energy efficiency doesn't have to cost millions. In fact, schools can cut their energy expenses by 5 to 20 percent simply by efficiently managing and operating physical plants. This holds true regardless of the age of a school building. This paper offers tips for improving a school's energy efficiency. Y1 - 2008/01// PY - 2008 DA - January 2008 SP - 2 PB - US Department of Energy. 1000 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20585.

On the other hand, deep saline reservoirs have not been as well characterized as oil and gas reservoirs. While detailed characterization of proposed sequestration sites will be necessary, it is important to assess the impact of detailed information on predictions of a site's long-term performance assessment and subsequently risk assessment. In this paper we discuss this issue through application of a systems level performance assessment model to a CO2-EOR (enhanced oil recovery) site, SACROC. SACROC is the oldest CO2-EOR field in the United States, in operation for over 35 years. As part of the U.S. Department of Energy's Regional Partnership program, a sequestration pilot test is planned at SACROC. As a part of this project characterization data such as, seismic surveys, well logs, production histories, geochemical information, and other data have been collected. The characterization data has been used to construct a geologic model of the site which will be used to predict the movement of CO2 and other fluids (such as reservoir brine) in the subsurface. The Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) are collaborating on developing approaches to geologic CO2 sequestration risk assessment. As part of this collaboration we are applying CO2-PENS, a CO2 sequestration site performance assessment model developed by LANL, to multiple sequestration pilot tests. CO2-PENS is a coupled process-systems model that integrates field/laboratory observations with numerical models and abstractions to predict long-term performance of a geologic CO2 sequestration site. The model accounts for CO2 migration in the primary reservoir and beyond through potential leakage pathways such as wellbores, faults etc. For this work, we describe how we apply CO2-PENS to the SACROC site. We describe incorporation of potential leakage pathways in CO2-PENS, and how the probability of possible CO2 and brine leaks at the site is quantified. We discuss how results of predictions of CO2 plume migration through the geologic model described above are incorporated in CO2-PENS. Finally we demonstrate what impact a detailed geologic characterization has on the predicted CO2 migration through leakage pathways. This is done by generating geologic models with varying level of characterization data and incorporating the predicted CO2 plume migration results in CO2-PENS.

Every serious modeler recognizes the value of selecting an optimal from several competing site models, but the process of developing alternative models is sometimes hampered by poor access to site data, and relevant nearby data. We will present case histories based on reported flow or transport modeling in which alternative site models are suggested or allowed by data that were not available to or not used by the modeler. We like a quote from Tukey (1962) that we believe places in perspective many issues in attempting to produce mathematical models and computer simulations of natural systems. "Far better an approximate answer to the right question, which is often vague, than the exact answer to the wrong question, which can always be made precise." Case histories are selected to provide food for thought for those attempting to approach model uncertainty and may include: 1. Charleston Navy site where seismic characterization data allowed significant revision of the CSM and subsequent contaminant transport modeling. 2. Hanford 300 area where river water momentum is suggested as an alternative component of the site model. 3. Savannah River C-Area where a characterization report for a waste site within the modeled area was not available to the modelers, but would have required changes to the underlying geologic and hydrogeologic models used. 4. Amargosa Desert Research Site (USGS) where re-interpretation of resistivity sounding data and water level data suggested an alternative geologic model. Simple 2-D spreadsheet modeling with the revised CSM provided an improved match to vapor-phase tritium migration.

Many of the gas/oil-field brines have high concentrations of dissolved ions such as Ca, Mg, and Fe ions, which make the treatment and disposal costly. At the same time, over 70 million tons of bauxite residues are generated annually when aluminum is extracted from bauxite. The pH of the liquid is as high as 13.5, and the solids contain high alkalinity. The caustic nature of the residue has resulted in damages to the ecosystems and concerns with long-term environmental liability. Worldwide, there are about 200 million tons of bauxite residues that are stored in tailings ponds. Environmentally and economically sound methods and processes are still elusive. We conducted laboratory experiments of addition of CO (sub 2) to bauxite residues and oil field brine mixtures as a way of beneficial use of industrial wastes and carbon sequestration. The use of bauxite residue/brine to capture and store CO (sub 2) will serve to not only mitigate the impact of anthropogenic CO (sub 2) on global warming but will also help safe storage and reuse of industrial wastes. Carbonation experiments were carried out over the full range of bauxite residue liquor/brine mixtures in 10% increments by volume. The capacity of reactant mixtures to absorb CO (sub 2) is, primarily, a function of reactant mixture pH, with carbonation capacity decreasing with decreasing mixture bauxite residue concentration. A geochemical model was carried out to predict the effectiveness of bauxite residue liquor neutralization and potential CO (sub 2) mineral sequestration capacity. Modeling results show that carbon trapping is accomplished through both CO (sub 2) mineralization and dissolution. Dawsonite and calcite formation were predicted to be the dominant products of bauxite residue liquor/brine mixture carbonation.

This map was originally built in 2003 and has been updated with 2006 data. The CBM field outlines are displayed on a background of USGS and Alaska DNR coal basins along with active and abandoned coal mines or mined-out areas. The EPA's 100 gassiest active coal mines are shown, color-coded by specific emissions (annual gas emitted / coal produced). Inset maps show details for 17 CBM basins, with inset maps added since the last edition for Texas, Louisiana, Coos Bay Coal Field, Hanna Basin, Wind River Basin and Greater Green River Basin. Well data for the field outlines was obtained from state geological surveys, oil & gas commissions and operators representing 20 states. Field outlines were constructed by (1) buffering the wells from each field with a radius based on their spacing, (2) unioning the buffers to make a single polygon record per field name, and (3) applying an algorithm to smooth the outlines. Visual basic application programs within ArcGIS were used to automate these processes.

AN - 69874669; 18765402 AB - Radiation doses to patients from some common paediatric X-ray examinations were studied in three hospitals in Khartoum state, Sudan. Entrance surface dose (ESD) was determined from exposure settings using DosCal software. Totally, 459 patients were included in this study. Mean ESDs obtained from anteroposterior projection for chest, skull, abdomen and pelvis for neonates falls in the range of 52-100, 115-169, 145-183, 204-242 microGy, respectively. For a 1-y-old infant, mean ESD range was 80-114, 153-202, 204-209, 181-264 microGy, respectively. Some doses for neonates and infants were exceeding the reference doses by >20%. The results highlighted that a good technique has to adhere to guidelines necessarily. As demonstrated elsewhere, patients' doses were high in departments using single-phase generators compared with those using constant potential. The results presented will serve as a baseline data needed for deriving reference doses for paediatric X-ray examinations in Sudan.

AN - 69835756; 18641000 AB - Measurements of (239+240)Pu and (238)Pu were carried out on marine biota as well as on sediments from the fringing reefs area extending towards north and south (Flamingo Bay) of PortSudan harbour. The analyses were performed using radiochemical separation and alpha spectrometry. The range of the activity concentrations in marine sediments, in mBq kg(-1) dry weight, was found to be from 5.10 to 82.00 for (239+240)Pu and from 0.89 to 8.63 for (238)Pu. Corresponding activity concentrations of (239+240)Pu and (238)Pu in sediments from the harbours at PortSudan and Sawakin were 53-301 and 8.29-28.6 (PortSudan) and 163-343 and 4.7 (Sawakin), respectively. The higher values for plutonium in marine algae suggest their suitability as an indicator species for monitoring purposes. The results obtained are generally lower than those found by other studies and show that the Red Sea environment is mildly affected by plutonium contamination. Activity ratios of plutonium isotopes confirm that the existence of plutonium in the Red Sea is mainly due to atmospheric global fallout.

AN - 69658826; 18375945 AB - Head computed tomography examinations are often accompanied with unnecessary irradiation of superficial organs that are rarely the main target for the investigation. The aim of this work is to demonstrate that lead shields could be effectively used to protect superficial organs without compromising image quality where superficial organ itself is not a target and that the irradiation of the superficial organ is unavoidable. The objective was achieved by first assessing the image quality using phantom measurements made with and without lead shielding in order to determine optimal shielding thickness for patient applications. The entrance surface doses (ESDs) to superficial organs of sixty patients were measured using LiF-thermoluminescent dosemeters without, with one layer, or with two layers of lead shields. Phantom studies demonstrated that the use of modified lead shields of up to 0.25 mm thickness could be used without significant effect on the image quality for central and posterior regions. In these studies, lead shields of 0.25 mm thickness reduce the ESDs to the lens of the eyes and thyroid by 44 and 51%, respectively. The image quality reduction by eye shields was significant to the anterior (i.e. orbital) region but marginal to the central and posterior regions (cerebrum). In view of the above, the use of modified lead shields could reduce the dose to the superficial organs considerably without significantly compromising image quality.

AN - 69382516; 17971345 AB - This study presents the results from a survey conducted by the Greek Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC), during the period 1998-2003, in 530 public and private owned fluoroscopic X-ray systems in Greece. Certain operational parameters for conventional and remote control systems were assessed, according to a quality control protocol developed by GAEC on the basis of the current literature. Public (91.5%) and private (81.5%) owned fluoroscopic units exhibit high-contrast resolution values over 1 lp mm(-1). Moreover, 88.5 and 87.1% of the fluoroscopic units installed in the public and private sector, respectively, present Maximum Patient Entrance Kerma Rate values lower than 100 mGy min(-1). Additionally, 68.3% of the units assessed were found to perform within the acceptance limits. Finally, the third quartile of the Entrance Surface Dose Rate distribution was estimated according to the Dose Reference Level definition and found equal to 35 mGy min(-1).

In the Medio Coreau domain, NW Borborema Province, U-Pb and Sm-Nd data have revealed unusual basement rocks representing 2.35-2.30 Ga juvenile crust, along with large tracts of 2.15-2.10 Ga juvenile gneisses in the Ceara Central domain. These basement blocks were affected by two pulses of intracratonic extension at 1785 and 775 Ma. Prior to West Gondwana collision, a continental arc (the Santa Quiteria batholith) developed between 665 Ma and 620 Ma. The presence of this arc strengthens the hypothesis that convergence between the Borborema Province and the Sao Luis craton involved closure of an oceanic basin. New geochronological data are presented showing that Palaeoproterozoic orthogneisses (U-Pb upper intercept 2288+ or -2 Ma) were affected by a major late Neoproterozoic event (554+ or -4 Ma U-Pb lower intercept, 558+ or -3 Ma Sm-Nd whole-rock and mineral isochron). Exhumation and cooling of granulite rocks between 568 and 550 Ma in the Medio Coreau domain and between c. 587 and 576 in the West African Dahomey Belt indicate that the final tectonic phase was not simultaneous along this front of the orogen.

In the United States, projected population growth rates, energy consumption patterns, and demand from competing water use sectors will increase pressure on power generators to reduce water use. Water availability and use also exhibit strong regional variations, complicating the nature of public policy and technological response. The US Department of Energy's (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is engaged in a research and development (R&D) program to reduce freshwater withdrawal (total quantity of water utilized) and consumption (portion of withdrawal not returned to the source) from existing and future thermoelectric power generating facilities. The Innovations for Existing Plants (IEP) Program is currently developing technologies in 5 categories of water management projects to reduce water use while minimizing the impacts of plant operations on water quality. This paper outlines the freshwater withdrawal and consumption rates for various thermoelectric power generating types and then estimates the potential benefits of IEP program technologies at both the national and regional levels in the year 2030. NETL is working to protect and conserve water resources while leveraging domestic fossil fuel resources, such as coal, to increase national energy security.

Data presented herein provide a preliminary assessment of the overall feasibility of this treatment concept. The Carbonation capacity of bauxite residue/brine mixtures was considered over the full range of reactant mixture combinations in 10% increments by volume. A bauxite residue/brine mixture of 90/10 by volume exhibited a CO sub(2) sequestration capacity of greater than 9.5 g/L when exposed to pure CO sub(2) at 20 degree C and 0.689 MPa (100 psig). Dawsonite and calcite formation were predicted to be the dominant products of bauxite/brine mixture carbonation. It is demonstrated that CO sub(2) sequestration is augmented by adding bauxite residue as a caustic agent to acidic brine solutions and that trapping is accomplished through both mineralization and solubilization. The product mixture solution was, in nearly all mixtures, neutralized following carbonation. However, in samples (bauxite residue/brine mixture of 90/10 by volume) containing bauxite residue solids, the pH was observed to gradually increase to as high as 9.7 after aging for 33 days, suggesting that the CO sub(2) sequestration capacity of the samples increases with aging. Our geochemical models generally predicted the experimental results of carbon sequestration capacities and solution pH.

The development of technical guidance documents or international standards has made this process more efficient in the United States, though these processes are both underutilized and underappreciated. The history of the use of these approaches will be described, as well as recent progress and how the future of guidance and standards may evolve.

The data studied were derived from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's CCF database, which is based on US commercial nuclear power plant event data. The insights are the result of an in-depth review of the CCF data. Trends of the annual number of CCF events show that the number of events has been decreasing over time. The insights can help to focus inspection and utility maintenance activities.

The cases of a failed component (with and without shared CCF potential) and a component being unavailable due to preventive maintenance or testing are addressed. The treatment of two related failure modes (e.g. failure to start and failure to run) is a new feature of this paper, as is the treatment of asymmetry within a common-cause component group.

These data were collected at temperatures of 22 and 75 degree C and pressures between 100 and 450 bar. Experimentally determined data were compared with CO sub(2) solubility predictions using a model developed by Duan and Sun (Chem. Geol. 2003, 193, 257-271). Model results compare well with Oriskany brine CO sub(2) solubility data collected experimentally, suggesting that the Duan and Sun model is a reliable tool for estimating solution CO sub(2) capacity in high salinity aquifers in the temperature and pressure range evaluated. The capacity for the Oriskany formation to sequester dissolved CO sub(2) was calculated using results of the solubility models, estimation of the density of CO sub(2) saturated brine, and available geographic information system (GIS) information on the formation depth and thickness. Results indicate that the Oriskany formation can hold approximately 0.36 gigatonnes of dissolved CO sub(2) if the full basin is considered. When only the region where supercritical CO sub(2) can exist (temperatures greater than 31 degree C and pressures greater than 74 bar) is considered, the capacity of the Oriskany formation to sequester dissolved CO sub(2) is 0.31 gigatonnes. The capacity estimate considering the potential to sequester free-phase supercritical CO sub(2) if brine were displaced from formation pore space is 8.8 gigatonnes in the Oriskany formation.

Mean concentrations were found between 50 and 110 ppm. As a consequence, an average phosphate dressing of 22 kg/ha phosphate would charge the soil with 5-20 g/ha uranium when added as a mineral fertilizer. Fine grinding phosphate produced at the Syrian mines was used for uranium recovery by carbonate leaching. The formation of the soluble uranyl tricarbonate anion UO sub(2)(CO sub(3)) sub(3) super(4-) permits using alkali and sodium bicarbonate salts for the nearly selective dissolution of uranium from phosphate. Separation of iron, aluminum, titanium, etc., from uranium during leaching was carried out. Formation of some small amounts of molybdates, vanadates, phosphates, aluminates, and some complex metals was investigated.

In this context, the mechanisms implied in salt concentration during dry season were studied by establishing salt budget with evaporation and drainage estimates inside and outside a saline patch. Drainage was estimated by Hydrus-1D modelling constrained by an hydrodynamic characterization and the profile of water contents at the end of dry season. Evaporation rates at the end of the dry season were computed by interpreting natural detailed profiles of deuterium (D) and chloride (Cl) contents. Because of the drastic diminution of hydraulic conductivity at saturation with depth and the decrease of groundwater level at the end of the cropping season, simulated hydrological balance with Hydrus-1D pointed out zero cumulated fluxes for depths of 39.5cm (outside the saline patch) and 37.5cm (inside the saline patch). Therefore, all the chloride accumulated in the very upper layers during dry season comes from the chloride that was present in the 0-39.5cm layers before the beginning of the drying. Inside the saline patch, the tentative Cl budget is coherent with the hypothesis of saturation of the profile by aquifer saline water during the flooding. Evaporation rates computed from the diffusion of chloride and deuterium at the end of the drying season, when the aquifer level was 1.4m deep, range between 0.121 and 0.378mmd super(-) super(1). This does not sustain the assumption of a considerable salinity contribution from the aquifer during the dry season. Moreover, evaporation estimates based on Cl and D diffusion equilibrium showed depleted rates (38-63%) inside the saline patch due to salt accumulation in the first 12cm of the soil. In the vapour transfer layer, estimated evaporation rate based on the vapour movement of D was in the same order of magnitude than computed rate assuming liquid Cl diffusion. This coincidence is attributed to the liquid fluxes that occurred during the expansion of the vapour transfer layer during the progression of the evaporation front.

In the U.S., energy-relatedactivities account for 75% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with more than 50% from largestationary sources such as power plants and about one-third from transportation. Mitigation technologies forCO2 atmospheric stabilization based on energy and economic scenarios include coal-based power plant-carbon capture and storage (CCS), and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is assessing CCS operations andsupporting technologies at U.S. locations and opportunities abroad reported here. The Algerian In Salah JointIndustry Project injecting 1 million tons CO2 (MtCO2)/year into a gas field sandstone, and theCanadian Weyburn-Midale CO2 Monitoring and Storage Project injecting over 1.8 MtCO2/year intocarbonate oil reservoirs are ongoing industrial-scale storage operations DOE participates in. DOE also supports mid-scale CCS demonstrations at the Australian Otway Project and CO2SINK in Germany. Enhanced oilrecovery operations conducted for decades in west Texas and elsewhere have provided the industrial experienceto build on, and early pilots such as Frio-I Texas in 2004 have spearheaded technology deployment. Whileinjecting 1,600 tons of CO2 into a saline sandstone at Frio, time-lapse borehole and surface seismicdetected P-wave velocity decreases and reflection amplitude changes resulting from the replacement of brinewith CO2 in the reservoir. Just two of many cutting-edge technologies tested at Frio, these and others arenow deployed by U.S. researchers with international teams to evaluate reservoir injectivity, capacity, and integrity,as well as to assess CO2 spatial distribution, trapping, and unlikely leakage. Time-lapse Vertical SeismicProfiling at Otway and microseismic at In Salah and Otway, monitor injection and reservoir conditions withgeophysics. Borehole-based technologies include a novel geochemical two-phase reservoir sampler deployedat Otway, and thermal-based measurements at CO2SINK for coupled hydrologic-geochemical reservoiranalyses. Seismic, geomechanical, hydrologic, geochemical, and core studies are used in a multidisciplinaryapproach to assess CO2 trapping and reservoir integrity at In Salah. With estimated lifetime storage of 17MtCO2 at In Salah, this and other CCS demonstrations provide opportunities to gain commercial experience for advancing coal-based power generation-CCS for carbon management.

With that in mind, Terra Nitrogen Co took advantage of an opportunity to participate in a DOE "Save Energy Now" plant study at its ammonia and fertilizer plant in Verdigris, OK. Its main objective was to analyze natural gas use in the plant's steam system and identify opportunities for energy savings. Verdigris plant personnel implemented several of the assessment's recommendations to improve efficiency immediately. They upgraded two turbines, installed a loop dehydrator on an ammonia plant, and repaired failed steam traps and steam leaks. The energy assessment identified additional opportunities that are still being implemented.

However, fluorescence monitoring has intrinsic limitations, such as GFP maturation time, high background, and photobleaching. To overcome those problems, we introduce the alternative approach of chemiluminescence (CL) detection with firefly luciferase as the probe. Firefly luciferase is roughly 100 times more efficient and is faster in generating CL than bacterial luciferase but requires the introduction of luciferin, a species that is not native to bacteria. The difficulty of luciferin diffusion into the cells was solved by making use of cell membrane leakage during bacteria dehydration. In this scheme, the overall sensitivity of the system approaches the single protein molecule level. Quantitative studies of gene expression in BL21 and XLU102 bacteria can thus be performed.

The tertiary amine immobilized in these solid substrates was 1, 8 Diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-undec-7-ene (DBU) and it has the stoichiometric capability of capturing carbon dioxide at a 1:1 R-NH sub(2):CO sub(2) molar ratio. This is a unique feature compared to other primary and secondary amines which capture CO sub(2) at a 2:1 molar ratio, thus making the immobilized DBU solid sorbents competitive with existing commercially available sorbents and liquid amine-based capture systems. The immobilized DBU solid sorbents prepared in this study exhibit acceptable CO sub(2) capture capacities of 3.0 mol CO sub(2)/kg sorbent at 298 K; however, at the critical operational temperature of 338 K, the capacity was reduced to 2.3 mol/kg sorbent. The DBU sorbents did exhibit acceptable stability over the adsorption/desorption temperature range of 298-360 K based on XPS and TGA analyses.

Two effect categories were considered: injury and behavioral disturbance. Proposed criteria for these effects were segregated according to categories of functional hearing types of major species groups and exposure types. The panel achieved many of its objectives but acknowledges limitations in the criteria because of sparseness or absence of critical data.

NRC licensees must report to the NRC all losses of licensed material to ensure that the proper perspective related to safely and security is evaluated. NRC's licensing and inspection programme provides the public with assurance that licensees are inspected, and are operating safely and in compliance with the regulatory, licence or order requirements. In the event that the NRC determines that the licensee failed to comply with regulatory requirements, the NRC has a multitude of enforcement sanctions that can be implemented at its discretion. The NRC has a specific branch that, in cooperation with other federal agencies, assesses, monitors and shares intelligence information related to potential malicious use, illicit trafficking and/or other uses of licensed material that may pose a threat. The NRC provides information to the IAEA's Illicit Trafficking Database (ITDB) and believes the concept of the database complements the US Government's global initiative to combat nuclear terrorism. The NRC values international information sharing and believes more work is needed in this important area The NRC has some ideas about increasing the overall effectiveness of the ITDB and will raise them in the appropriate forum.

Therefore, it is critical to develop technologies to mitigate this problem. One very promising approach to reducing CO sub(2) emissions is CO sub(2) capture at a power plant, transport to an injection site, and sequestration for long-term storage in any of a variety of suitable geologic formations. However, if the promise of this approach is to come to fruition, capture costs will have to be reduced. The Department of Energy's Carbon Sequestration Program is actively pursuing this goal. CO sub(2) capture from coal-derived power generation can be achieved by various approaches: post-combustion capture, pre-combustion capture, and oxy-combustion. All three of these pathways are under investigation, some at an early stage of development. A wide variety of separation techniques is being pursued, including gas phase separation, absorption into a liquid, and adsorption on a solid, as well as hybrid processes, such as adsorption/membrane systems. Current efforts cover not only improvements to state-of-the-art technologies but also development of several innovative concepts, such as metal organic frameworks, ionic liquids, and enzyme-based systems. This paper discusses the current status of the development of CO sub(2) capture technology.

In 2003, the U.S. Department of Energy created a nationwide network of seven Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSP) to help determine and implement the technology, infrastructure, and regulations most appropriate to promote carbon sequestration in different regions of the nation. The objectives of the Characterization Phase (Phase I) were to characterize the geologic and terrestrial opportunities for carbon sequestration; to identify CO sub(2) point sources within the territories of the individual partnerships; to assess the transportation infrastructure needed for future deployment; to evaluate CO sub(2) capture technologies for existing and future power plants; and to identify the most promising sequestration opportunities that would need to be validated through a series of field projects. The Characterization Phase was highly successful, with the following achievements: established a national network of companies and professionals working to support sequestration deployment; created regional and national carbon sequestration atlases for the United States and portions of Canada; evaluated available and developing technologies for the capture of CO sub(2) from point sources; developed an improved understanding of the permitting requirements that future sequestration activities will need to address as well as defined the gap in permitting requirements for large scale deployment of these technologies; created a raised awareness of, and support for, carbon sequestration as a greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation option, both within industry and among the general public; identified the most promising carbon sequestration opportunities for future field tests; and established protocols for project implementation, accounting, and management. Economic evaluation was started and is continuing and will be a factor in project selection. During the Validation Phase, the seven regional partnerships will put the knowledge learned during the Characterization Phase into practice through field tests that will validate carbon sequestration technologies that are best suited to their respective regions of the country. These tests will verify technologies developed through DOE's core R&D effort and enable implementation of CO sub(2) sequestration on a large scale, should that become necessary. Pilot projects will have a site-specific focus to test technology; assess formation storage capacity and injectivity; validate and refine existing CO sub(2) formation models used to determine the transport and fate of CO sub(2) in the formation; demonstrate the integrity of geologic seals to contain CO sub(2); validate monitoring, mitigation, and verification (MMV) technologies; define project costs and compare costs of alternatives; assess potential operational and long-term storage risks; address regulatory requirements; and engage and evaluate public acceptance of sequestration technologies. Field validation tests involving both sequestration in geologic formations and terrestrial sequestration are being developed. The results from the Validation Phase will help to confirm the estimates made during the Characterization Phase and will be used to update the regional atlases and NatCarb. Answers to many questions about the effectiveness and safety of carbon sequestration technologies will be instrumental in planning for a Deployment Phase, in which large volume tests will be planned to further sequestration as an option that can mitigate GHG emissions in the United States.

(THIRTY-THIRD DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 16388776; 13550 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Station in Wake County, North Carolina is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 33rd supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Carolina Power and Light Company (doing business as Progress Energy Carolinas, 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 unit in this final supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which would occur on October 24, 2026. The power station is located within a 10,800-acre site of land in the southwest corner of Wake County and on the northwest shore of the 4,150-acre Harris Reservoir. The plant lies on a peninsula that extends into the reservoir. The plant consists of one unit equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a closed-cycle cooling system with a natural-draft cooling tower, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. The cooling system withdrawals cooling water from and discharges blowdown water to the Harris Reservoir. The unit is rated at 2,900 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 955 MW-electric (gross) and 900 MW-electric (net). 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 unit would continue to withdraw process water from the Harris 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 reservoir. 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.

Industry and regulators will need to work cooperatively to ensure that the information is preserved and included in the design and operation of all new nuclear facilities, as well as in ongoing decommissioning projects. The paper describes the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's efforts to capture the decommissioning lessons learned from the first wave of decommissioning projects in USA.

Such actions or controls should be commensurate with the hazards posed by the facility, i.e. a graded approach should be applied. This graded approach should be based on the associated risk and complexity of the decommissioning task, and should be used to accommodate the risks posed by small facilities. It should provide a clear and consistent approach for both safe and cost-effective decommissioning. Although small facilities generally pose lower risks, some small facilities may be significantly contaminated because of the type and form of the materials used. Unlike large facilities (e.g. commercial nuclear power plants), licensees of such facilities may not possess sufficient financial resources to provide for the clean up of their sites. Therefore, attention should be paid to ensuring that small facilities possess sufficient financial resources to adequately clean up and decommission.

Goethite and hematite are relatively more abundant in granitic and basaltic soils, respectively. Values of Fe (sub o) /Fe (sub d) range from 0.01 to 0.28 indicating that free Fe oxides are mostly crystalline. There are no systematic differences in unit-cell dimensions for goethite and hematite in soils on different parent materials. Mean crystallite dimensions calculated from the 110 reflections are greater for hematite than for goethite. Aluminium substitution varies from 8 to 24 mole% for goethite and from 4 to 17 mole% for hematite. The dehydroxylation temperature for goethite ranges from 285 degrees C to 320 degrees C. The goethite in basaltic soils has a smaller crystal size and Al substitution, as well as a lower dehydroxylation temperature, compared to soils on other parent materials. The dehydroxylation temperature of goethite is positively related to Al substitution (R = +0.58), MCD110 (R = +0.49) and Al (sub d) (R = +0.53). The Mn, Ni, Cr, V and P in these soils occur in Fe oxides rather than as discrete minerals.

AN - 68560511; 18025465 AB - Amatoxins, the lethal constituents of poisonous mushrooms in the genus Amanita, are bicyclic octapeptides. Two genes in A. bisporigera, AMA1 and PHA1, directly encode alpha-amanitin, an amatoxin, and the related bicyclic heptapeptide phallacidin, a phallotoxin, indicating that these compounds are synthesized on ribosomes and not by nonribosomal peptide synthetases. alpha-Amanitin and phallacidin are synthesized as proproteins of 35 and 34 amino acids, respectively, from which they are predicted to be cleaved by a prolyl oligopeptidase. AMA1 and PHA1 are present in other toxic species of Amanita section Phalloidae but are absent from nontoxic species in other sections. The genomes of A. bisporigera and A. phalloides contain multiple sequences related to AMA1 and PHA1. The predicted protein products of this family of genes are characterized by a hypervariable "toxin" region capable of encoding a wide variety of peptides of 7-10 amino acids flanked by conserved sequences. Our results suggest that these fungi have a broad capacity to synthesize cyclic peptides on ribosomes.

AN - 68534394; 18025303 AB - Cellular transition to anaphase and mitotic exit has been linked to the loss of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1) kinase activity as a result of anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C)-dependent specific degradation of its cyclin B1 subunit. Cdk1 inhibition by roscovitine is known to induce premature mitotic exit, whereas inhibition of the APC/C-dependent degradation of cyclin B1 by MG132 induces mitotic arrest. In this study, we find that combining both drugs causes prolonged mitotic arrest in the absence of Cdk1 activity. Different Cdk1 and proteasome inhibitors produce similar results, indicating that the effect is not drug specific. We verify mitotic status by the retention of mitosis-specific markers and Cdk1 phosphorylation substrates, although cells can undergo late mitotic furrowing while still in mitosis. Overall, we conclude that continuous Cdk1 activity is not essential to maintain the mitotic state and that phosphatase activity directed at Cdk1 substrates is largely quiescent during mitosis. Furthermore, the degradation of a protein other than cyclin B1 is essential to activate a phosphatase that, in turn, enables mitotic exit.

AN - 51278181; 2008-035936 AB - We present the first precise age for Precambrian basement rocks in Bangladesh. These lie within the Dinajpur block, located between the Indian Craton to the southwest and the Shillong Massif to the east. There are no surface outcrops and the rocks were intersected by drill holes. They consist of a suite of tonalitic and granodioritic rocks, variously deformed to granitic gneiss and intruded by younger monzogranite. A tonalite obtained at a depth of 227.48 m in drill hole BH-2 at Maddhapara, in northwestern Bangladesh, records a SHRIMP zircon (super 207) Pb/ (super 206) Pb magmatic age of 1722+ or -6 Ma. Paleoproterozoic rocks with similar magmatic ages are unknown in the adjacent Indian blocks of the Chotanagpur Plateau (Indian Craton) or Shillong Massif. This lack of comparable ages may be due to the paucity of precise radiometric ages from the Indian terrains or, more likely, because there are real age differences, with the buried rocks at Maddhapara representing a separate and discrete microcontinental fragment (the Dinajpur block) that was trapped by the northward migration of India during Gondwana dispersal.

Our ability to understand the significance of these processes over time requires an accurate conceptual model that incorporates the various mechanisms of coupled chemical and physical processes. Adsorption, desorption, ion exchange, precipitation, dissolution, growth, solid solution, redox, microbial activity, and other processes are often incorporated into reactive transport models for the prediction of contaminant fate and transport. U.S. federal agencies use such models to evaluate contaminant transport and provide guidance to decision makers and regulators for treatment issues. We provide summaries of selected research projects and programs to demonstrate the level of activity in various applications and to present examples of recent advances in subsurface reactive transport modeling.

This study investigated the inter-laboratory reproducibility of carbon dioxide isotherm measurements on moisture-equilibrated Argonne premium coal samples (Pocahontas No. 3, Illinois No. 6, and Beulah Zap). Six independent laboratories provided isotherm data on the three moisture-equilibrated coal samples at 55 degrees C and pressures up to 15 MPa. Agreement among the laboratories was good up to 8 MPa. At the higher pressures, the data among the laboratories diverged significantly for two of the laboratories and coincided reasonably well for four of the laboratories.

It has been demonstrated that the internal microstructure of these drug-polymer composites can significantly impact the drug release rate. However, the effect of processing conditions during manufacture on the composite structure and the subsequent effects on release behavior are not well understood. We have developed a diffuse-interface theory for microstructure evolution that is based on interactions between drug, polymer and solvent species, all of which may be present in either crystalline or amorphous states. Because the theory can be applied to almost any specific combination of material species and over a wide range of environmental conditions, it can be used to elucidate and quantify the relationships between processing, microstructure and release response in controlled drug release systems. Calculations based on the theory have now demonstrated that, for a characteristic delivery system, variations in microstructure arising due to changes in either drug loading or processing time, i.e. evaporation rate, could have a significant impact on both the bulk release kinetics and the uniformity of release across the system. In fact, we observed that changes in process time alone can induce differences in bulk release of almost a factor of two and typical non-uniformities of +/-30% during the initial periods of release. Because these substantial variations may have deleterious clinical ramifications, it is critical that both the system microstructure and the control of that microstructure are considered to ensure the device will be both safe and effective in clinical use.

AN - 36342351; 12960 AB - PURPOSE: The authorization and approval of the construction of the U.S. portion of an international electric power transmission cable extending from the greater Victoria area of British Columbia, Canada across the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Port Angeles, Calallam County, Washington are proposed. Sea Breeze Olympic Converter LP has applied to the Department of Energy's Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability for a Presidential permit for the international crossing of the cable and to the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) for interconnection into the federal transmission system. The proposed action would involve the installation of a 150-kilovolt direct-current (DC) transmission line capable of carrying up to 550 megawatts off power. Approximately 10.5 miles of marine cable would be trenched in the seafloor from the international boundary to the Port Angeles Harbor. The cable would transition from the marine environment to the harbor to land through a horizontal-directionally-drilled bore. The DC cable would then proceed underground beneath city streets for 0.8 mile to a new converter station. The converter station would convert power from DC to alternating current (AC). A A1,000-foot underground AC cable would then connect to BPA's Port Angles Substation. The Port Angeles Substation would be expanded to accommodate the interconnection of power into the federal transmission system. Sea Breeze would construct and own the proposed cable project, intending to sell capacity on the cable to interested utilities or generators through an open access system, with power flow possible both north and south between the United States and Canada. Since the proposed project does not include improvements that would increase the capacity of BPA's transmission system, power flow to and from the proposed interconnection with BPA's system would be subject to existing power transfer limits and transmission constraints. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, under which the Sea Breeze request would be denied and the project would not receive a Presidential permit, precluding the creation of the international connection. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would enable the efficient transfer of power to and from Canada, depending on load requirements in various delivery markets. The efficiency, flexibility, and reliability of the regional transmission grid would be significantly enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Seabed plowing and laying of cable across the Strait would result in the release of bottom sediments into the water column and disrupt benthic communities. Horizontal drilling and trenching in t he harbor would disturb marine species, increase turbidity, destroy marine vegetation, and release low-level contaminants in bottom sediments. Construction of the converter station and interconnection at the substation would displace vegetation and the associated low-quality wildlife habitat. The marine DC cable world cause a slight temperature increase in the water column directly above the cable and increase sediment temperatures, altering benthic habitat in the area surrounding the cable. The marine and terrestrial DC cables would create a static, extremely low-frequency magnetic field around the location of the cable.

Preparation date: October 4, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - The Pennsylvania salient; seismic and other evidence for an Iapetan arcuate rift influence on the arcuate map pattern AN - 821968394; 2011-008635 AB - Integration of 11 types of data, including reprocessed proprietary seismic data from the Appalachian Plateau of NYS and northern PA, indicate that the arcuate structural map pattern characteristic of the Alleghanian Pennsylvania Salient was strongly influenced by an arcuate system of Iapetan opening/Rome Trough faults. In the Appalachian Plateau of NYS, shallow structural-level features were assumed to reflect Alleghanian salt-cored folds and associated thrusts related to the arcuate map pattern of the fold and thrust belt in Pennsylvania. Data sets included primarily shallow well logs and dips of surface rocks measured by leveling lines, some salt mine data and extremely limited seismic reflection data. However, in NYS these arcuate fault systems are coincident with some aeromagnetic anomalies, suggesting basement involvement. Further, seismic data across NE-trending lineaments in NYS show that several lineaments, formerly believed to represent shallow folds, actually represent fault systems that affect the entire Paleozoic section. Some of these faults were initially Iapetan-opening growth faults. Similarly, in northern PA, the Alleghanian Smethport-Sharon Anticline is coincident with an arcuate aeromagnetic anomaly, and reprocessed seismic shows a dramatic hinge in Iapetan opening time beneath the anticline. These and other examples suggest that the Iapetan opening faults in this "corner" zone have an original arcuate map pattern. The arcuate faulting was interrupted by northerly-trending Iapetan-rift faults that are reactivated intra-Grenvillian suture faults. The intersecting pattern of northerly and arcuate fault trends may have an analog in the present eastern North Atlantic corner zones west of the UK where northerly-trending micro-continents such as Porcupine, Rockall, and Bill Bailey banks lie north (and east) of the present deep Atlantic that sweeps around the banks and their intervening deeps. The Iapetan arcuate faults (and intersecting faults) controlled (through weakened, fractured rock from fault reactivations) the locations of later Alleghanian faults (including ramps). Little tightening of the arc occurred through time (consistent with paleomagnetics. The numerous reactivations of the fault systems controlled deposition in the shallow Appalachian Basin.

The method is based on the nonlinearly constrained mathematical modelling and also on the stochastic optimization approaches. The proposed interpretative method was first tested on a theoretical synthetic model with different random errors, where a very close agreement was obtained between the assumed and the evaluated parameters. The validity of this method was also tested on practical field data taken from United States, Australia, India and Brazil, where available magnetic data existed and were previously analyzed by different interpretative methods. The agreement between the results obtained by our developed method and those obtained by the other geophysical methods is good.

"The National Best Practices Manual for Building High Performance Schools" is a part of the suite of products developed to promote energy efficiency and renewable energy in schools. It was developed specifically for architects and engineers who are responsible for designing or retrofitting schools, and for the project managers who work with the design teams. The "Energy Design Guidelines for High Performance Schools," available for seven climate zones across the United States, was developed for school boards, administrators, and design staff to help make informed design decisions about energy and environmental issues important to school systems and communities. The design strategies presented here are organized into 10 chapters covering important design disciplines and goals: site design; daylighting and windows; energy-efficient building shell; lighting and electrical systems; mechanical and ventilation systems; renewable energy systems; water conservation; recycling systems and waste management; transportation; and resource-efficient building products. An additional chapter addresses commissioning and maintenance practices. Applying these guidelines will result in schools that are healthy, comfortable, energy efficient, resource efficient, water efficient, safe, secure, adaptable, and easy to operate and maintain. This manual provides details and implementation rules for individual design strategies. Though these individual strategies can improve a building's energy efficiency, only through whole-building analysis and integrated design can energy and cost concerns be balanced most effectively. A list of commissioning references and resources is included. Most chapters contain tables, footnotes, figures, and references. [The National Best Practices Manual for High Performance Schools was adapted from the Collaborative for High Performance Schools Inc.'s Best Practices Manual, Volume II. Modifications were developed by Eley Associates and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The adaptation was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Building Technology, State and Community Programs. The commissioning section of this manual is a modified version of the Building Commissioning Guidelines prepared for Pacific Gas & Electric Company by Portland Energy Conservation, Inc. for the Energy Design Resources program. Certain sections of this document were excerpted and modified from Commissioning for Better Buildings in Oregon, written by PECI for the Oregon Office of Energy, and Building Commissioning: The Key to Quality Assurance, written by PECI for the U.S. Department of Energy's Rebuild America program.] Y1 - 2007/10// PY - 2007 DA - October 2007 SP - 457 PB - US Department of Energy. 1000 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20585.

Se is most commonly found as oxyanions, selenite (Se (super IV) O (sub 3) (super -2) ) and selenate (Se (super VI) O (sub 4) (super -2) ). Separate analysis of the species is crucial because Se toxicity and mobility are species dependent. A method was developed to speciate inorganic Se in coal fly ash extractants on a reverse-phase column using a Perkin Elmer HPLC-ICPMS system. The HPLC separates the Se species and the ICPMS provides low detection limits. A dynamic reaction cell eliminates interference from the argon gas dimer and allows all six isotopes of Se to be quantified. Reverse-phase chromatography is primarily used for organic separations in non-ionic solutions; this method allows for concurrent speciation of organic and inorganic in ionic solutions. Separation of selenite and selenate is achieved within 2 minutes on a Brownlee C8 column using a 50mu L injection loop and a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min at 25C. The mobile phase consists of an acetic acid-ammonium acetate buffer plus tetrabutylammonium hydroxide for the ion-pairing agent. The resulting pH is 5.4. At this pH, selenate is fully de-protonated (SeO (sub 4) (super -2) ) but selenite is partially protonated (HSeO (sub 3) (super -) ). This allows for separation by polarity, as well as size and weight. The addition of 5% methanol to the mobile phase acts as an organic modifier which creates cleaner peaks and shorter retention times. Variations of temperature, flow rates, methanol concentrations, pH, and mobile phase concentrations determine the optimal peak detections and retention times. Separation was achieved for Se in spiked and un-spiked fly ash leachates. Initial results show that selenite is the dominant form of Se extracted from the fly ash with de-ionized water.

As Europe's indigenous supply declines, it will rely more on gas imports. Concurrently, Russia's domestic gas consumption is growing, its infrastructure continues to age, and Gazprom will continue to rely on both Central Asian imports and growth from independent gas producers to meet its long-term supply commitments. This article discusses a medium-term outlook for Russia and the European Union and outlines the barriers that are inhibiting competition and collaboration in the energy sphere.

Three soundings were made at existing boreholes for comparison. Aquifer parameters of hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity were obtained by analysing pumping test data from the existing boreholes. An empirical relationship between hydraulic conductivity determined from the pumping test and both resistivity and thickness of the Neogene aquifer has been established for these boreholes in order to calculate the geophysical hydraulic conductivity. A close agreement has been obtained between the computed hydraulic conductivity and that determined from the pumping test. The relationship established has, therefore, been generalized in the study area in order to evaluate hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity at all the points where geoelectrical measurements have been carried out. This generalization allows one to derive maps of the hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity in the study area based on geoelectrical measurements. These maps are important in future modelling processes oriented towards better exploitation of the aquifers. Abstract Copyright (2007), Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We previously tested claims that basaltic dikes could penetrate the repository with a frequency of 1E-6/yr. Our analysis (Coleman et al., GRL, 2004, doi:10.1029/2004GL021032) raised serious doubts about such claims because they are inconsistent with the small number of volcanoes that formed near Yucca Mountain during the last 1 million yrs and the last 100,000 yrs. We used new data from the drilling of suspected buried basalts and applied kernel density estimators using NRC's Probabilistic Volcanic Hazard Assessment code (Connor et al., JGR, 2000). Dataset CFB_plio-quat-Mag (Connor et al., 2002) includes 29 Plio-Pleistocene events (14 dated basalts + 15 anomalies formerly assumed to be post-Miocene basalts). The new data eliminate 7 anomalies and reduce the number of basaltic events in this dataset to 22. This lowers the apparent Plio-Pleistocene recurrence rate from 5.5E-6/yr (Coleman et al., GRL, 2004) to 4.2E-6/yr (22 events in 5.3 Myr), consistent with the Pleistocene recurrence rate of 4.4E-6/yr (8 events in 1.8 Myr). The new data yield a repository dike penetration frequency of 4.2E-8/yr. Our previous estimate of dike intersection probability (i.e., 5.4E-8/yr with a 95% upper confidence bound of 9.7E-8/yr) using Pleistocene data is unchanged because none of the drilled anomalies represent Pleistocene basalts. However, factors not included in the model could further reduce the probability of repository intersection. Rising magma tends to follow paths of least resistance and preferentially intrudes pre-existing faults. Current DOE plans call for setback of waste drifts from major faults. Also, local topography can alter the stress field and steer a dike as it nears the surface and, more importantly, significantly affect vent location by influencing the strongest flow to occur at lower (i.e., non-ridge) elevations (Gaffney & Damjanac, GRL, 2006).

It allows the chemistry of the leaching process to be studied in more detail than achievable with more traditional batch and column techniques. The continuous stirring provides constant mixing as occurs in more traditional batch-leaching tests while the continuous flow provides data over a wide range of pH values and liquid/solid ratios such as those seen in column leaching studies. Metal release patterns were examined in detail over a range of pH values extending from the material's natural, slightly alkaline pH to acidic pH conditions. The leaching behavior of individual elements depends on several factors including, but not limited to, the solubility of the mineral phases present, the sorption properties of the remaining phases and the neutralization capacity of the minerals. Bulk FGD gypsum is moderately soluble; dissolution is controlled by its solubility product and hydration reactions rather than pH. Elution and pH profiles indicate the presence of alkaline material(s) that buffers the system during the initial leaching. Iron and aluminum are not leached until the buffering capacity is exhausted. Elements bound to these phases can be mobilized during the low-pH dissolution. Metals not released during leaching become concentrated in a minor, insoluble residue remaining at the end of each experiment. Understanding the fundamental mechanisms operating during the leaching process provides a basis for evaluating the safety of FGD byproducts and ensuring these materials are used and disposed of appropriately. This information may also provide a basis for capture and sequestration technologies for mercury and other metals.

This is being investigated with a sequential extraction scheme that subjects FGD material to a series of phase-targeted reagents. Mineral phases with the greatest affinity for Hg and the form in which Hg is naturally immobilized can be discovered by observing the amount of Hg mobilized by each successive extracting solution. The procedure involves a series of batch extractions, including a water rinse to remove water soluble and loosely sorbed ions, 0.11 M acetic acid to target carbonate minerals and exchangeable ions, 0.1 M hydroxylamine hydrochloride to dissolve manganese oxides and hydroxides, 0.25 M hydroxylamine hydrochloride in 0.25 M HCl to dissolve iron oxides and hydroxides, and hydrogen peroxide and 0.1 M ammonium acetate to oxidize organic matter and dissolve sulfide minerals. All extractions were conducted at room temperature except the second hydroxylamine hydrochloride step and the hydrogen peroxide steps, which were performed in a bath heated to at least 80 degrees C. Some samples were tested after a prolonged water rinse to dissolve the gypsum phase, others were tested as-received. Results indicate that Hg is associated with two distinct fractions of FGD materials. Most of the solubilized Hg is extracted by the iron oxide and hydroxide dissolution reagent. Repeated applications of this reagent suggest that Hg is retained with more resistant iron phases. Hg release occurred under extremely acidic (pH<1) and reducing conditions. Analysis of the extracts indicates the presence of a minor phase (possibly clay minerals) that may also be associated with retained Hg. The organic matter and sulfide minerals fraction typically yields lower but still significant amounts of Hg.

It is designed to test the adequacy of assumptions, data, and analyses that support the findings used to permit construction of the repository and direct subsequent waste emplacement operations. There are two objectives for the PC Program. First, the program provides information, where practicable, to confirm that subsurface conditions encountered and changes in those conditions during construction and waste emplacement operations are within assumed limits. Second, the program provides information to evaluate if the natural and engineered systems and components that were designed or assumed to operate as barriers after permanent closure are functioning as intended. The repository system is composed of two natural barriers and one Engineered Barrier System that are important to waste isolation and have been characterized and designed to work together to prevent or reduce the movement of water or radionuclides, or prevent the release or substantially reduce the release rate of radionuclides. Performance confirmation began during the characterization of the Yucca Mountain site and will continue during repository construction and through emplacement of waste, only concluding when repository closure is licensed. Performance confirmation tests that will continue from activities that were performed as a part of site characterization, with appropriately modified work scopes, are as follows: precipitation monitoring; seepage monitoring; subsurface water and rock testing; unsaturated zone testing; saturated zone monitoring; saturated zone alluvium testing; subsurface mapping; seismicity monitoring; construction effect monitoring; corrosion testing; and waste form testing. New activities that will begin during construction or operations phases include: saturated zone fault zone hydrology testing; thermally accelerated drift near-field monitoring; dust buildup monitoring; thermally accelerated drift environment monitoring; thermally accelerated drift thermal-mechanical effects monitoring; seal testing; waste package monitoring; and corrosion testing of thermally accelerated drift samples.

Detector calibration with examples of absolute efficiency curves at different in-well sample heights and the results of experiments to determine the effect of sample matrices to gamma-ray adsorption are presented. Radioanalytical methods described include the measurements of super(241,243)Am: (1) in water samples after preconcentration and (2) in dissolved neodymium fluoride (NdF sub(3)) microprecipitates. These procedures were achievable because of the well detector's ability to accommodate a relatively large sample volume. A rapid method for the dissolution of NdF sub(3) microprecipitates for gamma counting is also described.

Nitrogen fertilizer (15N-labeled urea) and irrigation methods (drip and furrow) were evaluated on spring and fall potato cultivars under Syrian Mediterranean climatic conditions. Field experiments were conducted in the El-Ghab Valley near Hama in fall 2000 and spring 2001 on a heavy clay soil. Four N-fertilizer applications (70, 140, 210, and 280kgN/ha) were applied in five equally split treatments for both irrigation methods. Potato was irrigated when soil moisture in the specified active root depth reached 80% of the field capacity as indicated by the neutron probe. Higher marketable tuber yield of spring potato was obtained by fertigation compared to furrow irrigation; the magnitude of tuber yield increases was 4, 2, 31, and 13%, whereas for fall potato the tuber yield increases were 13, 27, 20, and 35% for N fertilizer rates of 70, 140, 210, and 280kgN/ha, respectively. Shoot dry matter and tuber yields at the bulking stage were not good parameters to estimate marketable tuber yield. The effect of N treatments on potato yield with furrow irrigation and fertigation was limited and not significant. Drip fertigation improved tuber yield of fall potato relative to national average yield. Nitrogen uptake increased with increasing N input under both irrigation methods. Reducing N input under both irrigation methods improved N recoveries. Increasing N input significantly increased total N content in plant tissues at the bulking stage. Spring potato yields were almost double those of fall potato under both irrigation methods and all N treatments. Nitrate (NO3) movement in the soil solution for fall potato was monitored using soil solution extractors. Furrow irrigation resulted in greater movements of NO3-N below the rooting zone than drip fertigation. Harvest index did not follow a clear trend but tended to decrease upon increasing N fertilization rates beyond 140kgN/ha under both irrigation methods. Drip fertigation improved field water-use efficiencies at the bulking and harvest stages. Fertigation increased specific gravity of potato tubers relative to furrow irrigation. Higher N input decreased specific gravity of potato tubers under both irrigation methods.

(THIRTY-SECOND DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36346854; 12940 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station in Coffey County, Kansas is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 32nd 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, Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current operating license, which March 11, 2025. The power station is located within a 135-acre encompassed by a 11,300-acre area owned by Kansas Gas and Electric Company, Kansas City Power and Light, and Kansas Electric Power Cooperative; the larger area encompassing the site includes Coffey County Lake (5,090 acres), the dam and dikes creating the lake (60 acres), a lime sludge pond (31 acres, and the Wolf Creek Environmental Education Area (500 acres). The plant's single nuclear reactor, which began operation on September 3, 1985, is a Westinghouse pressurized water reactor producing a reactor core power of 3,565-megawatts-thermal resulting in a design net capacity of 1,165 megawatts-electric. The applicant operates as a once-through cooling pond facility, with Coffee County Lake being the water source for the circulating water system as well as for ancillary water systems. The facility includes 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 Coffee County Lake 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.

As such, RES supplies the technical tools, analytical models and experimental data needed to support the NRC's regulatory decision making mandate. As a TSO, RES does not conduct research for the single purpose of developing improved technologies, a function that is more appropriately that of the nuclear industry. The NRC also does not conduct research for the purpose of continually enhancing safety. Rather, RES conducts research in support of the licensing and regulatory process to confirm the methods and data generated by the industry to ensure that adequate safety is maintained. In addition to conducting confirmatory research, as a TSO, RES has a role in beyond the horizon, or forward looking, research. To provide the technical bases for future regulatory decisions, RES looks where the regulated industry is moving and conducts exploratory research as needed to prepare the NRC to respond to industry requests and initiatives. In addition to regulating the commercial use of radioactive materials to protect public health and safety and to protect the environment, the NRC has responsibility for protecting and safeguarding nuclear materials and nuclear power plants in the interest of national security. Thus, while its primary focus is on supporting the licensing and regulatory process, the research conducted by and for the NRC plays an important role in supporting broad, Government wide initiatives associated with national security.

National R&D efforts and TSOs will provide support not only for nuclear power projects, but also for enhancing safety in both the existing research reactor and the new research reactor project. A master plan for developing an appropriate knowledge base and the expertise of national organizations is presented, along with highlights of the potential challenges. The master plan covers activities concerning the development of human resources and technical infrastructure, as well as R&D planning.

AN - 36346744; 12929 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of an early site permit (ESP) for the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) site on the Savannah River in Burke County, Georgia is proposed to allow for the addition to two nuclear units to the two units already operating at the plant site. The VEGP site is located approximately 15 miles east-northeast of Waynesboro and 26 miles southeast of Augusta. The ESP candidate tract is adjacent to the existing VEGP Units 1 and 2 sites. The applicant, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc., requested authorization to perform certain site preparation activities if an ESP were issued. It must be remembered that an application for an ESP is, as a process, separate from the filing of an application for a construction permit or a combined operating license for a nuclear power facility. The latter permit and/or a license must be preceded by a separate EIS process. Three primary issues must be addressed in an ESP application, namely site safety, environmental impacts, and emergency planning. Regarding safety and emergency planning issues, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission seeks reasonable assurance that two Westinghouse Electric Company AP1000 advanced light-water reactors can be constructed and operated at the VEGP site without undue risk to public health and safety; that there are no significant impediments to the development of emergency plans; and that site characteristics allow for the development of adequate security plans and measures. In addition to the issuance of the ESP, this draft EIS considers four categories of alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, energy source alternatives, system design alternatives, and site alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new site's nuclear reactors would provide electric power, to be transmitted to the regional grid serviced by the applicant and used by residential, commercial, and industrial consumers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The staff has preliminary 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 and access corridors could be affected by clearing and grading. Cooling system water would withdrawn from and returned to the Savannah River, resulting a thermal plume, both of which would affect the aquatic ecosystem and the recreational value of the river, as well as riverside visual and olfactory aesthetics.

In this scheme, partially combusted coal from the furnace of a pulverized coal power generation plant is extracted by a lance and then re-injected into the ductwork downstream of the air preheater. Recent results on a 500-lb/h pilot-scale combustion facility show similar removals of mercury for both the Thief Process and ACI. The tests conducted to date at laboratory, bench, and pilot-scales demonstrate that the Thief sorbents exhibit capacities for mercury from flue gas streams that are comparable to those exhibited by commercially available activated carbons. A patent for the process was issued in February 2003. The Thief sorbents are cheaper than commercially-available activated carbons; exhibit excellent capacities for mercury; and the overall process holds great potential for reducing the cost of mercury removal from flue gas. The Thief Process was licensed to Mobotec USA, Inc. in May of 2005.

The NRC, working with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), performed analyses to evaluate the potential for a release of radioactive material from the transportation casks analysed for the Baltimore and Caldecott tunnel fire scenarios. Full details on this work have been published in NUREG/CR-6886, Rev. 1, 'Spent fuel transportation package response to the Baltimore Tunnel Fire Scenario' and NUREG/CR-6894, Rev. 1, 'Spent fuel transportation package response to the Caldecott Tunnel Fire Scenario'. This paper contains a summary of the results of these analyses. Most significantly, the staff found that for both tunnel fire events, a release of radioactive material from any of the casks analysed is unlikely, and that any potential release would be very small - less than an A sub(2) for radionuclides of greatest concern.

AN - 68173885; 17702336 AB - Histologic assessment of the gonads to detect intersex has become a valuable end point in reproductive toxicologic testing for fish, and many studies have solidly linked intersex with exposure to endocrine active substances (EAS). An assumption in such studies is that spontaneous intersex does not occur in control fish. Using historical data derived from toxicologic tests with Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes), we report a retrospective study in which we identified 54 individual instances of intersex (testicular oocytes or ovarian testicular tissue) in control medaka from 15 of 41 selected toxicologic studies. These studies, comprised of previously unpublished data, had been conducted at three geographically distant laboratories, each of which utilized unique water sources, employed somewhat different culture protocols, and maintained distinct medaka breeding colonies. During our histologic examinations, we also identified three germ cell neoplasms that had been inadvertently diagnosed as intersex. In the present report, we review potential causes of intersex, discuss possible reasons why spontaneous intersex has rarely been reported, and propose suggestions for the judicious interpretation of intersex results in medaka studies involving EAS.

AN - 36341654; 12878 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station in the town of Vernon, Windham County, Vermont is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 30th 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 March 21, 2012. The power station is located within in a 125-acre site owned by the applicant, Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, LLC, and a narrow strip of land between the Connecticut River and the east boundary of the station property to which Entergy has perpetual rights and easements from the landowner. The station consists of a nuclear-powered, steam-electric-generating facility that began commercial operation on November 31, 1972. The unit is powered by a boiling water reactor manufactured by General Electric and featuring Mark I containment. The unit was originally licensed for a reactor core power of 1,593 megawatts-thermal (MW9t0), with a net electrical capacity of 540 MW-electric (MW(e)). However, on March 2, 2006, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved a power uprate to increase the maximum ore power level to 1,912 MW{t}, with a gross electrical output of 650 MW(e). Cooling water for the main condenser is withdrawn from the Connecticut River and circulated through the station in one of three modes of operation: open-cycle (also known as once-through cooling), hybrid-cycle, or closed-cycle. The mode of operation is selected by the applicant to limit heat discharged to the 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. 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. 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 Connecticut River Reservoir and deliver makeup water back to the river. Release of water to the river from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

Preparation date: August 1, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Normal Cellular Prion Protein Protects against Manganese-Induced Oxidative Stress and Apoptotic Cell Death AN - 20704828; 7533795 AB - The normal prion protein is abundantly expressed in the central nervous system, but its biological function remains unclear. The prion protein has octapeptide repeat regions that bind to several divalent metals, suggesting that the prion proteins may alter the toxic effect of environmental neurotoxic metals. In the present study, we systematically examined whether prion protein modifies the neurotoxicity of manganese (Mn) by comparing the effect of Mn on mouse neural cells expressing prion protein (PrP super(C)-cells) and prion-knockout (PrP super(KO)-cells). Exposure to Mn (10 mu M-10mM) for 24 h produced a dose-dependent cytotoxic response in both PrP super(C)-cells and PrP super(KO)-cells. Interestingly, PrP super(C)-cells (EC sub(50) 117.6 mu M) were more resistant to Mn-induced cytotoxicity, as compared to PrP super(KO)-cells (EC sub(50) 59.9 mu M), suggesting a protective role for PrP super(C) against Mn neurotoxicity. Analysis of intracellular Mn levels showed less Mn accumulation in PrP super(C)-cells as compared to PrP super(KO)-cells, but no significant changes in the expression of the metal transporter proteins transferrin and DMT-1. Furthermore, Mn-induced mitochondrial depolarization and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation were significantly attenuated in PrP super(C)-cells as compared to PrP super(KO)-cells. Measurement of antioxidant status revealed similar basal levels of glutathione (GSH) in PrP super(C)-cells and PrP super(KO)-cells; however, Mn treatment caused greater depletion of GSH in PrP super(KO)-cells. Mn-induced mitochondrial depolarization and ROS production were followed by time- and dose-dependent activation of the apoptotic cell death cascade involving caspase-9 and -3. Notably, DNA fragmentation induced by both Mn treatment and the oxidative stress inducer hydrogen peroxide (100 mu M) was significantly suppressed in PrP super(C)-cells as compared to PrP super(KO)-cells. Together, these results demonstrate that prion protein interferes with divalent metal Mn uptake and protects against Mn-induced oxidative stress and apoptotic cell death.

For several workplaces, particularly in glove boxes, some workers expose their hands to mixed fields. The mastery of the photon extremity dosimetry is relatively good, whereas the neutron dosimetry still raises difficulties. In this context, the Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN) has proposed a study on a passive neutron extremity dosemeter based on chemically etched CR-39 (PADC: polyallyldiglycolcarbonate), named PN-3, already used in routine practice for whole body dosimetry. This dosemeter is a chip of plastic sensitive to recoil protons. The chemical etching process amplifies the size of the impact. The reading system for tracks counting is composed of a microscope, a video camera and an image analyser. This system is combined with the dose evaluation algorithm. The performance of the dosemeter PN-3 has been largely studied and proved by several laboratories in terms of passive individual neutron dosemeter which is used in routine production by different companies. This study focuses on the sensitivity of the extremity dosemeter, as well as its performance in the function of the level of the neutron energy. The dosemeter was exposed to monoenergetic neutron fields in laboratory conditions and to mixed fields in glove boxes at workplaces.

Waters of the Sorowie and Kakum rivers that supply water into the Estuary were investigated to ascertain heavy metal pollution levels due to anthropogenic activities. Concentration s of Cd, Zn, Se and Pb were measured. The study shows pre-occupying pollution levels that constitute a threat to both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The abundance of metals in the Estuary is in the order Zn>Pb>Cd>Se. The level of Cd in the Iture Estuary ranged between 0.011mg/l and 0.041mg/l while Se was in the range 0.018mg/l to 0.029mg/l, Pb 0.020mg/l to 0.075mg/l and Zn 0.040 to 2.45mg/l. The impact of contaminated water from the Sorowie River on the Iture Estuary was outstanding and the study points out the importance of the Sorowie River as a primary pollution source to the Iture Estuary. The pollution of the Iture Estuary was found to be connected to human activities in its catchments.

AN - 36346292; 12825 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station on the western shore of Cape Cod Bay in the town of Plymouth, Plymouth County Massachusetts is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 29th 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, Energy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Energy), 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 June 8, 2012. The power station, which is located within in a 140-acre site, adjacent to 1,500 acres of additional land owned by Energy, on the western shore of Cape Cod Bay, consists of one unit equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, employs one boiling-water reactor unit and a steam-driven turbine generator manufactured by General Electric Company. The units were originally licensed for an output of 1,998 megawatts-thermal (MW[t]), and commercial operation began in December 1972. In 2003, the station underwent a thermal power optimization, which increased the electrical raging to 715 gross megawatts-electric (MW[e]). The reactor uses a once-through cooling system and a service water system that withdrawal water from Cape Cod Bay through an intake embayment formed by two breakwaters and returns water to the bay through a 900-foot trapezoidal discharge canal separated from the intake embayment by a breakwater. 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. Two 345-kilovolt transmission lines, on extending five miles and the other extending 2.2 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 and adjacent land held by Energy 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 Cape Cod Bay and discharge 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.

The isolation ofKlebsiella sp. was facilitated by the addition of CPY at a rate of 3.84 g/L of sludge weekly (selection pressure). Identification ofKlebsiella sp. was done using major staining and biochemical differentiation tests (Gram stain, cytochrome oxidase and some relevant saccharide fermentation tests using biochemical assays).Klebsiella sp. was maintained by culturing in a poor medium consisting of mineral salts and CPY as the sole carbon source. When 3 activated sludge samples were incubated in the presence of CPY (13.9 g/L sludge), 46 % of added CPY were degraded within 4 d. By comparison, within 4 d the isolatedKlebsiella sp. was found to break down 92 % of CPY when co-incubated in a poor mineral medium in which CPY was the sole carbon source (13.9 g/L poor medium). IsolatedKlebsiella sp. was able to tolerate up to 17.3 g of CPY in the poor medium.

Their original purpose was to salvage the small unwanted hardwood trees left behind by the lumber mills, and to make charcoal, calcium acetate and methanol for a number of industrial uses via destructive distillation. At many old wood chemical plant sites, unknown quantities of wood tar remain as a residual contaminant and pose a pollution threat to aquatic life in nearby streams. Research on the composition and properties of residual wood tars from five abandoned industrial sites in Pennsylvania are described. Weathered wood tars were more viscous and contained fewer volatile and semivolatile organic compounds than did soil-buried tars. Phenol, 2-methylphenol (o-cresol), 4-methylphenol (p-cresol), and 2, 4-dimethylphenol were found in all sampled tars. These water-soluble phenolic compounds were released quasi-instantaneously in aqueous solution, followed by a slower rate of release, consistent with the behavior of similar compounds in other dense non-aqueous liquids. Air-exposed wood tar deposits developed a hard crust, which contained fewer volatiles and semivolatiles and had a higher softening point than other samples. These tars eroded to form a powdered soil colonized by lichens and mosses. Residual wood tar material found at one site was shown to be thermally altered, likely during the historical destruction of the chemical plant by fire.

Irradiated and unirradiated samples were stored at room temperature. Microbial populations on seeds, total and inorganic soluble solids in water extract and sensory properties of the latter were evaluated after 0, 6 and 12 months of storage. Results indicated that gamma irradiation reduced the aerobic plate counts of aniseed. Immediately after irradiation, the total soluble solids in an extract of irradiated seeds were greater than those of unirradiated ones. The total soluble solids in an extract of irradiated and un-irradiated seeds increased after 6 and 12 months of storage. There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) in inorganic soluble solids between the water extract of irradiated and unirradiated aniseeds. Sensory evaluation indicated that gamma irradiation improved sensory characteristics of aniseed water extract tested immediately after irradiation; however, after 12 months of storage, no significant differences (p > 0.05) were found in color, taste or flavor between extract of irradiated and unirradiated seeds.

This study deals with the implementation of a radiation protection protocol, concerning the aforementioned group members for patients undergoing treatment with super(111)In-DTPA-D-Phe super(1)-Octreotide, after intra-arterial infusion. It is shown that by applying this protocol the annual doses to the medical and technical staff are considerably reduced and remain below the established DCLs. Following the post-release behaviour instructions given to the patient, doses to the family and third persons may be kept lower than the corresponding DCLs provided by the National Regulations.

Recently the factors from the latter analyses have been combined with regression techniques using human health endpoints to infer source influence on health effects. This approach is attractive for air quality management when the composition of particles is known, since it provides, in principle, a means of quantifying major source influence on health consequences. The factor-based analyses have been used for both epidemiological and toxicological studies with some success. While the method is useful in many ways, it also has important limitations that include failing to identify specific sources, misidentification from comingled source factors, and inconsistency or unreasonableness of results from the same locations using different factor techniques. Examples of ambiguities evolving from these limitations are cited in this article. Ambiguity found in the literature is fostered by loosely worded terminology that does not distinguish statistically based factors from actual sources, and from health impacts inferred by single centrally located air monitors, which are assumed to represent actual exposure or dosage to airborne particles.

As a result, US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff are currently considering a risk-informed revision of the design-basis break size requirements for commercial nuclear power plants. In support of this effort, loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) frequency estimates have been developed using an expert elicitation process by consolidating service history data and insights from probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM) studies with knowledge of plant design, operation, and material performance. Baseline LOCA frequency estimates for the 5th percentile, median, mean and 95th percentile were determined from each panelist's elicitation responses. Group estimates were determined by aggregating the individual estimates using the geometric mean of the Individual estimates for each frequency parameter. Group variability was estimated by calculating 95% confidence bounds for each of the group frequency parameters (i.e., median, mean, and 5th and 95th percentiles). A number of sensitivity analyses were conducted to examine the effects on the quantitative results from varying the assumptions, structure and techniques of the baseline analysis procedure.

AN - 36341067; 12772 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the National Bureau of Standards Reactor, operated by the National Institute off Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Montgomery County, Maryland, is proposed to allow the reactor to continue operating for the next 20 years. The bureau has been renamed NIST. The reactor, which is located on the NIST campus, approximately 20 miles northwest of the District of Columbia, is a heavy water-moderated and cooled, enriched-fuel, tank-type reactor. It is a custom-designed variation of the Argonne CP-5 class reactor. The primary cooling system consists of a closed, recirculating heavy water in an aluminum and stainless steel containment structure. Heat from the reactor is transferred to a secondary cooling system of light water and, then, to the atmosphere by means of evaporation from a cooling tower located outside the confinement building. The reactor is employed by the NIST Center for Neutron Research, which is used by up to 2,000 engineers and scientists each year for research in materials science, non-destructive evaluation, chemistry, biology, trace analysis, neutron standards and Dosimetry, nuclear physics, and quantum metrology. The reactor is operated round the clock, seven days a week, with routine shutdowns every five to six weeks for partial refueling and, as needed, for maintenance. This is the second license renewal, the first renewal being granted May 16, 1984, and included a power uprate from 10 megawatts-thermal (MWth) to 20 MWth. That renewal was scheduled to expire on May 16, 2004. However, in accordance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations, NIST's application for renewal was received at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the existing license and the existing operating license will not be considered expired until the application has been assessed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow NIST to continue to operate the Center for Neutron Research, providing scientists and engineers with a large cold neutron source and seven neutron guides that allow the United States world class capabilities in cold neutron research. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the reactor would continue to result in a thermal plume from the cooling tower, affecting visual aesthetics and depositing heavy moisture on surrounding vegetation, though this would amount to an insignificant impact. The reactor 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 - 36340016; 12749 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the James A. Fitzpatrick Nuclear Power Plant in the town of Scriba at Nine Mile Point on Lake Ontario is upstate New York 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, Entergy Nuclear Operations, 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 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 October 17, 2014. The power station, which achieved commercial operation in 1975, is located within in a 2702-acre site on the south shore of Lake Ontario in a largely rural area seven miles northeast of Oswego and 36 miles north-northwest of Syracuse. The nuclear power unit consists of a boiling water reactor with a rated thermal output of 2,536 megawatts (MW) and a corresponding rated electrical output of 881 MW. The power plant employs a once-through cooling system drawing water from Lake Ontario, which also provides for the plant's service water needs. Water is withdrawn from the lake via an offshore submerged intake structure and through an intake tunnel. Makeup water is returned to the lake via a discharge tunnel and an in-lake diffuser system. 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. Two single-circuit 345-kilovolt transmission lines, the 70-mile Edic line and the 0.9-mile Scriba line, 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 Lake Ontario 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.

The paradigm of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve - the dependence of the true- positive fraction versus the false-positive fraction as a function of the level of aggressiveness of the reader/radiologist toward a positive call - is essential to this field because diagnostic imaging systems are used in multiple settings, including controlled laboratory studies in which the prevalence of disease is different from that encountered in a study in the field. The sic equation of statistical decision theory is used to display how readers can vary their level of aggressiveness according to this diagnostic context. Most studies of diagnostic modalities in the last 15 years have demonstrated not only a range of levels of reader aggressiveness, but also a range of level of reader performance. These characteristics require a multivariate approach to ROC analysis that accounts for both the variation of case difficulty and the variation of reader skill in a study. The resulting paradigm is called the multiple-reader, multiple-case ROC paradigm. Highlights of historic as well as contemporary work in this field are reviewed. Many practical issues related to study design and resulting statistical power are included, together with recent developments and availability of analytical software.

AN - 70600657; 17571837 AB - Biomass from a prototype reactor was used to investigate the kinetics of chemoheterotrophic reduction of solutions of ferric ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and solutions containing the nitrosyl adduct of ferrous EDTA using ethanol as the primary electron donor and carbon source. A series of batch experiments were conducted using biomass extracted from the scrubber solution treatment and regeneration stage of a prototype iron EDTA-based unit process for the absorption of nitric oxide with subsequent biological treatment. Using a linear-sweep voltammetric method for analysis of the ferric EDTA concentration, iron-reducing bacteria were found to behave according to the Monod kinetic model, at initial concentrations up to 2.16 g chemical oxygen demand (COD) as ethanol per liter, with a half-velocity constant of 0.532 g COD as ethanol/L and a maximum specific utilization rate of 0.127 mol/L of ferric ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid [Fe(III)EDTA]*(g volatile suspended solids [VSS]/L)d(-1). Based on batch analyses, biomass yield and endogenous decay values of iron-reducing bacteria were estimated to be 0.055 g VSS/g COD and 0.017 L/d, respectively. An average of 1.64 times the theoretical (stoichiometric) demand of ethanol was used to complete reduction reactions. Kinetics of the reduction of the nitrosyl adduct of ferrous EDTA are summarized by the following kinetic constants: half-velocity constant (Ks) of 0.39 g COD/L, maximum specific utilization rate (k) of 0.2 mol/L [NO x Fe(II)EDTA(2-)](g VSS/L)d(-1), and inhibition constant (K(I)) of 0.33 g COD/L, as applied to the modified Monod kinetic expression described herein. Based on batch analyses, the biomass yield of nitrosyl-adduct-reducing bacteria was estimated to be 0.259 g VSS/g COD, endogenous decay was experimentally determined to be 0.0569 L/d, and an average of 1.26 times the stoichiometric demand of ethanol was used to complete reduction reactions.

AN - 70481745; 17497526 AB - Researchers and regulators have often considered preferentially regulating the types of ambient airborne particulate matter (PM) most relevant to human health effects. While few would argue the inherent merits of such a policy, many believe there may not yet be enough information to differentially regulate PM species. New evidence, using increasingly sophisticated methodologies, has become available in the last several years, allowing more accurate assessment of exposure and resultant associations with specific types of PM, or PM derived from different sources. Such new studies may also allow differentiation of effects from different chemical components in the same study against the same health endpoints. This article considers whether this new evidence might be adequate to allow us to "speciate" PM types or sources by severity of health effects. We address this issue with respect to two widespread sources of PM, emissions from motor vehicles and coal-fired power plants. Emissions from less widespread sources, residual oil and steel/coking facilities, are also discussed in order to illustrate how health effects associated with such emissions might instead be associated with more widespread sources when accurate exposure information is unavailable. Based upon evaluation of studies and methodologies which appear to contain the most accurate information on exposure and response to important emissions, including variable local emissions, it is concluded that public health will likely be better protected by reduction of various vehicular emissions than by continued regulation of the total mass of fine PM (PM <2.5 microm, or PM2.5) as if all PM in this mode is equitoxic. However, the knowledge base is incomplete. Important remaining research questions are identified.

The deposit was metamorphosed to granulite facies conditions and subjected to at least five periods of deformation (D (sub 1) -D (sub 5) ). Sulfides at Broken Hill are commonly associated with quartz garnetite, garnetite, and blue quartz gahnite-garnet rock. The origin of quartz garnetite and garnetite is controversial. Proposed models include: metamorphism of manganiferous sediments formed by submarine hydrothermal processes that mixed with aluminous pelagic sediments; metamorphism of an original detrital sediment; metasomatic mobilization of Mn between the sulfide lenses and the wall rocks either synpeak (D (sub 1) -D (sub 2) ) or postpeak metamorphism (D (sub 3) ); and reaction of Mn derived from partially melted sulfide orebodies with the surrounding pelitic gneisses. REE patterns of whole-rock samples of garnetite and quartz garnetite show high light rare earth element/heavy rare earth element (LREE/HREE) ratios. Chondrite-normalized REE patterns, based on analyses of garnet in garnetite and quartz-garnetite and some samples of blue quartz gahnite-garnet rock, using laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) techniques, generally show very low LREE/HREE ratios, flat HREE signatures, and low overall REE contents (<100 ppm). HREE are incorporated in garnet, whereas LREE likely occur in intergranular material between garnet grains and in monazite, zircon, and apatite inclusions in garnet or along grain boundaries. Garnetite and fine-grained quartz garnetite show positive and negative Eu anomalies, respectively. Coarse metasomatic garnet surrounding D (sub 3) quartz veins, and metasomatic garnet in quartz garnetite halos around lead-rich orebodies, remobilized quartz garnetite and some blue quartz gahnite-garnet rocks, show positive and negative Eu anomalies, variable HREE, low to moderate LREE/HREE ratios, and arcuate patterns. The REE signature of garnet in garnetite and quartz garnetite is characteristic of metamorphic garnet with Eu anomalies reflecting relative inputs of detrital to hydrothermal components in a premetamorphic protolith, f (sub O2) conditions, and temperature, whereas arcuate HREE signatures are characteristic of metasomatic garnet that formed postpeak metamorphism. The REE chemistry of garnet is consistent with mineralogical, petrological, and structural studies that demonstrate garnetite and quartz garnetite are metamorphosed sediments that formed by submarine hydrothermal processes.

Development of methods to estimate CO2 leakage rates is essential to assure that storage objectives are being met at sequestration facilities. Perfluorocarbon tracers (PFTs) were added as three 12h slugs at about one week intervals during the injection of 2090 tons of CO2 into the West Pearl Queen (WPQ) depleted oil formation, sequestration pilot study site located in SE New Mexico. The CO2 was injected into the Permian Queen Formation. Leakage was monitored in soil-gas using a matrix of 40 capillary adsorbent tubes (CATs) left in the soil for periods ranging from days to months. The tracers, perfluoro-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane (PDCH), perfluorotrimethylcyclohexane (PTCH) and perfluorodimethylcyclobutane (PDCB), were analyzed using thermal desorption, and gas chromatography with electron capture detection. Monitoring was designed to look for immediate leakage, such as at the injection well bore and at nearby wells, and to develop the technology to estimate overall CO2 leak rates based on the use of PFTs. Tracers were detected in soil-gas at the monitoring sites 50m from the injection well within days of injection. Tracers continued to escape over the following years. Leakage appears to have emanated from the vicinity of the injection well in a radial pattern to about 100m and in directional patterns to 300m. Leakage rates were estimated for the 3 tracers from each of the 4 sets of CATs in place following the start of CO2 injection. Leakage was fairly uniform during this period.

AN - 70413503; 16920761 AB - The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of intraosseous implantation of silica-based bioactive glass (BG) particles on rat kidney under experimental renal failure. The animals are assigned to one of the two groups: renal failure (RF) and renal failure + bioactive glass (RF + BG). Particles of melt-derived 45S5 BG are implanted in the marrow of one tibia of each animal in the RF + BG group. The animals are killed 24 h and 14 days postimplantation. The RF + BG group exhibits a statistically significant increase in serum urea 24 h postimplantation. The tibiae of the RF + BG group are resected and embedded in methyl-methacrylate resin. Ground sections are analyzed by light microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. The presence of silicon, calcium, and phosphorus is evaluated in the BG particles. A 55% reduction in silicon content is observed at 14 days postimplantation as compared with that at 24 h.Light microscopy analysis reveals lesions in kidney parenchyma. Hyperplasia associated with nuclear vacuolization in the tubules and a marked thickening of the basal membrane are observed in the renal cortex of the RF + BG animals killed at 24 h postimplantation, but not in those at 14 days. The present results demonstrate reversible renal cell injury in rats exposed to intraosseous implantation of silica-based BG particles under experimental RF.

Existing wells were used to measure salinity and conductivity of water samplings. Vertical electrical sounding was carried out near the existing wells. The combination of resistivity and hydrogeological data enables the establishment of empirical relationships between earth resistivity, water resistivity, and the amount of total dissolved solids. These relationships are then used in order to derive salinity maps for electrode spacings of 70, 100, and 150 m. The distribution of fresh, brackish and salt-water zones and their variations in space along two longitudinal profiles (LP1 and LP2) are established through converting subsurface depth-resistivity models into different ground-water areas. The constructed ground-water area maps allow interfaces between different water zones to be determined. Abstract Copyright (2007), Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We implement the constitutive relations of the dilatant double shearing model and the hypoplastic model in the finite element program ABACUS/Explicit and compare their predictions in the triaxial compression and cyclic shear loading tests. Although the origins and the constitutive relations of the double shearing model and the hypoplastic model are quite different, we find that both models are capable of capturing typical behaviours of granular materials. This is significant because while hypoplasticity is phenomenological in nature, the double shearing model is based on a kinematic hypothesis and microstructural considerations, and can easily be calibrated through standard tests.

Before investigating the practical use of this strategy, we first characterized the gene-specific RNAi induced by a large subset (258 siRNAs, 129 genes) of the entire siRNA library used in this study ( similar to 800 siRNAs, similar to 400 genes). We next demonstrated that multiplexed siRNAs could silence at least six genes to the same degree as when the genes were targeted individually. The entire library was then used in a screen in which randomly multiplexed siRNAs were assayed for their affect on cell viability. Using this strategy, several gene targets that influenced the viability of a breast cancer cell line were identified. This study suggests that the screening of randomly multiplexed siRNAs may provide an important avenue towards the identification of candidate gene targets for downstream functional analyses and may also be useful for the rapid identification of positive controls for use in novel assay systems. This approach is likely to be especially applicable where assay costs or platform limitations are prohibitive.

Imaging of Cerebrosides Directly from Rat Brain Tissue AN - 20388670; 7792249 AB - Graphite-assisted laser desorption/ionization (GALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) was investigated for analysis of cerebrosides in a complex total brain lipid extract. Conventional MALDI MS and GALDI MS were compared regarding lipid analysis by using high-vacuum (HV, <10 super(-6) Torr) LDI time-of-flight mass spectrometry and intermediate-pressure (IP, 0.17 Torr) linear ion trap mass spectrometry. Cerebrosides were not detected or detected with low sensitivity in MALDI MS because of other dominant phospholipids. By using GALDI, cerebrosides were detected as intense mass peaks without prior separation from other lipid species while mass peaks corresponding to phosphatidylcholines (PCs) were weak. The signal increase for cerebrosides and the signal decrease for PCs in GALDI MS were more significant in HV than in IP. MS super(n) experiments of precursor ions corresponding to cerebrosides and PCs in brain lipid extract were performed to identify the detected species and distinguish isobaric ions. Twenty-two cerebroside species were detected by GALDI whereas eight cerebroside species were detected by MALDI. Sulfatides in brain lipid extract were also easily detected by GALDI MS in the negative ion mode. By forming a colloidal graphite thin film on rat brain tissue, direct lipid profiling by imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) was performed. Chemically selective images for cerebrosides and sulfatides were successfully obtained. Imaging tandem mass spectrometry (IMS/MS) was performed to generate images of specific product ions from isobaric species.

AN - 36347993; 12683 AB - PURPOSE: The authorization and approval of the construction of the U.S. portion of an international electric power transmission cable extending from the greater Victoria area of British Columbia, Canada across the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Port Angeles, Clallam County, Washington are proposed. Sea Breeze Olympic Converter LP has applied to the Department of Energy's Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability for a Presidential permit for the international crossing of the cable and to the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) for interconnection into the federal transmission system. The proposed action would involve the installation of a 150-kilovolt direct-current (DC) transmission line capable of carrying up to 550 megawatts of power. Approximately 10.5 miles of marine cable would be trenched in the seafloor from the international boundary to the Port Angeles Harbor. The cable would transition from the marine environment to the harbor to land through a horizontal-directionally-drilled bore. The DC cable would then proceed underground beneath city streets for 0.8 mile to a new converter station that would convert power from DC to alternating current (AC). A 1,000-foot underground AC cable would then connect to BPA's Port Angles Substation. The Port Angeles Substation would be expanded to accommodate the interconnection of power into the federal transmission system. Sea Breeze would construct and own the proposed cable project, intending to sell capacity on the cable to interested utilities or generators through an open access system, with power flow possible both north and south between the United States and Canada. Since the proposed project does not include improvements that would increase the capacity of BPA's transmission system, power flow to and from the proposed interconnection with BPA's system would be subject to existing power transfer limits and transmission constraints. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, under which the Sea Breeze request would be denied and the project would not receive a Presidential permit, preventing the creation of the international connection. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would enable the efficient transfer of power to and from Canada, depending on load requirements in various delivery markets. The efficiency, flexibility, and reliability of the regional transmission grid would be significantly enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Seabed plowing and laying of cable across the Strait would result in the release of bottom sediments into the water column and disrupt benthic communities. Horizontal drilling and trenching in the harbor would disturb marine species, increase turbidity, destroy marine vegetation, and release low-level contaminants in bottom sediments. Construction of the converter station and interconnection at the substation would displace vegetation and the associated low-quality wildlife habitat. The marine DC cable would cause a slight temperature increase in the water column directly above the cable and increase sediment temperatures, altering benthic habitat in the area surrounding the cable. The marine and terrestrial DC cables would create a static, extremely low-frequency magnetic field around the location of the cable.

AN - 68933662; 17137553 AB - We previously reported the therapeutic success of different BNCT protocols in the treatment of oral cancer, employing the hamster cheek pouch model. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of these BNCT protocols on DNA synthesis in precancerous and normal tissue in this model and assess the potential lag in the development of second primary tumors in precancerous tissue. The data are relevant to potential control of field cancerized tissue and tolerance of normal tissue. We evaluated DNA synthesis in precancerous and normal pouch tissue 1-30 days post-BNCT mediated by boronophenylalanine (BPA), GB-10 (Na(2)(10)B(10)H(10)) or (BPA+GB-10) employing incorporation of 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine as an end-point. The BNCT-induced potential lag in the development of second primary tumors from precancerous tissue was monitored. A drastic, statistically significant reduction in DNA synthesis occurred in precancerous tissue as early as 1 day post-BNCT and was sustained at virtually all time-points until 30 days post-BNCT for all the protocols. The histological categories evaluated individually within precancerous tissue (dysplasia, hyperplasia and NUMF [no unusual microscopic features]) responded similarly. DNA synthesis in normal tissue treated with BNCT oscillated around the very low pre-treatment values. A BNCT-induced lag in the development of second primary tumors was observed. BNCT induced a drastic fall in DNA synthesis in precancerous tissue that would be associated to the observed lag in the development of second primary tumors. The minimum variations in DNA synthesis in BNCT-treated normal tissue would correlate with the absence of normal tissue radiotoxicity. The present data would support the control of field-cancerized areas by BNCT.

Results indicate that submarine springs in the southern and northern coasts have different geochemistries reflecting a difference in the specific geology of the regions. Environmental isotopes including (super 2) H, delta (super 18) O, and delta (super 34) S and delta (super 18) O in sulfate have confirmed the different geological conditions. A more enriched isotopic composition of submarine groundwater occurs in the south where submarine springs are primarily artesian flows that occur in confined aquifers. The deep circulation of groundwater is affected by a high geothermal gradient. Also high sulfate content is related to a fractionation in delta (super 34) S isotopic composition. This is due to the dissolution of gypsum minerals and reduction of the Upper Cretaceous and lower Eocene marly limestones in the confined aquifers. At the northern coast, a slightly depleted isotopic composition is found for submarine groundwater. The highly karstified northern region allows rapid infiltration of groundwater and discharge as submarine springs. Tritium results for all submarine waters indicate a short subsurface residence time in the aquifers when compared to rainwater in Lebanon.

Treated and untreated borak were kept in a refrigerator (1-4 degree C). Microbiological and chemical analyses were performed on each treated sample immediately after processing, and weekly throughout storage period, which lasted for 6 weeks. Sensory evaluation and proximate analysis were done within one week after irradiation. Results of the proximate analysis of borak showed that irradiation doses did not have a significant effect on moisture, protein and fat content of borak. Gamma irradiation decreased the total counts of mesophilic aerobic bacteria, total coliform and yeast and increased the shelf life of borak. The radiation doses required to reduce the microorganisms load by one log cycle (D sub(10) ) in borak were 456 and 510 Gy for the Salmonella spp. and E. coli , respectively. Three chemical parameters, total acidity, lipid peroxide and volatile basic nitrogen, which were chosen as the indices of freshness, were all well within the acceptable limits for up to 1, 3 and 6 weeks at 1-4 degree C for samples treated with 2, 4 and 6 kGy, respectively. Sensory evaluation showed no significant differences between irradiated and non-irradiated samples.

Approximately 20% of these are new mutations of unknown cause. Assessment of the effect of exposures to DNA damaging agents, i.e. mutagenic chemicals and radiations, on the integrity of the human genome and on the occurrence of genetic disease remains a daunting challenge. Recent insights may explain why previous examination of human exposures to ionizing radiation, as in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, failed to reveal heritable genetic effects. New opportunities to assess the heritable genetic damaging effects of environmental mutagens are afforded by: (1) integration of knowledge on the molecular nature of genetic disorders and the molecular effects of mutagens; (2) the development of more practical assays for germline mutagenesis; (3) the likely use of population-based genetic screening in personalized medicine.

Both the International Atomic Energy Agency regulations for transporting radioactive materials, and 10 CFR 71 times 73 require casks to be evaluated for hypothetical accident conditions, which includes a 9 m (30 ft) drop impact event onto a flat, essentially unyielding, horizontal surface, in the most damaging orientation. This paper examines the behaviour of one of the NRC certified transportation casks, the TN-68, for drop impact events. The specific area examined is the behaviour of the bolted connections in the cask body and the closure lid, which are significantly loaded during the hypothetical drop impact event. Analytical work to evaluate the NRC certified TN-68 spent fuel transport cask for a 9 m (30 ft) drop impact event on a flat, unyielding, horizontal surface, was performed using the ANSYS and LS-DYNA finite element analysis codes. The models were sufficiently detailed, in the areas of bolt closure interfaces and containment boundaries, to evaluate the structural integrity of the bolted connections under 9 m (30 ft) free drop hypothetical accident conditions, as specified in 10 CFR 71 times 73. Evaluation of the cask for puncture, caused by a free drop through a distance of 1 m (40 in) onto a mild steel bar mounted on a flat, essentially unyielding, horizontal surface, required by 10 CFR 71 times 73, was not included in the current work. Based on the analyses performed to date, it is concluded that, even though brief separation of the flange and the lid surfaces may occur under some conditions, the seals would close at the end of the drop events, because the materials remain elastic during the duration of the event.

Both the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) regulations for transporting radioactive materials (Ref. 2, paragraph 727) and 10 CFR 71 times 73 require casks to be evaluated for hypothetical accident conditions, which includes a 9 m (30 feet) drop impact event on a flat, essentially unyielding, horizontal surface, in the most damaging orientation. The present paper examines the behaviour of one of the NRC certified transportation casks, the HI-STAR 100, for drop impact events. The specific area examined is the behaviour of the bolted connections in the 'overpack' top flange and the closure plate, which are significantly loaded during the hypothetical drop impact event. The term 'overpack' refers to the cask that receives and contains a sealed multipurpose canister (MPC) containing spent nuclear fuel. The analytical work to evaluate the NRC certified HI-STAR 100 spent fuel transport cask for a 9 m (30 feet) drop impact event on a flat, unyielding, horizontal surface, was performed using the ANSYS and LS-DYNA finite element analysis codes. The models were sufficiently detailed, in the areas of bolt closure interfaces and containment boundaries, to evaluate the structural integrity of the bolted connections under 9 m (30 feet) free drop hypothetical accident conditions, as specified in 10 CFR 71-73. Evaluation of the cask for puncture, caused by a free drop through a distance of 1 m (40 inch) onto a mild steel bar mounted on a flat, essentially unyielding, horizontal surface, required by 10 CFR 71 times 73, was not included in the current work. Based on the analyses performed to date, it is concluded that, even though brief separation of the flange and the closure plate surfaces may occur, the seals would close at the end of the drop events, because the materials remain elastic during the duration of the event.

This paper reviews the status of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, identifies key business and policy drivers for the hydrogen economy, critically examines key barriers to implementing the hydrogen economy, identifies and discusses key national initiatives to advance the hydrogen economy, and identifies and discusses key intergovernmental initiatives and activities to advance the hydrogen economy. Hydrogen and fuel cell technology advances, coupled with a reduction in costs and improvements in performance reliability, present new opportunities for developed and developing countries to achieve energy, economic and environmental security. Substantial national research and development investments in hydrogen production, storage, transport, end-use technologies (e.g., fuel cells), safety and public education underscore future opportunities. Intergovernmental bodies such as Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), International Energy Agency (IEA) and the International Partnership for the Hydrogen Economy (IPHE) provide a multilateral framework for development of a global hydrogen economy. While the pathway forward for the hydrogen economy is precarious alternative energy options offer substantially fewer public benefits.

3350269 AB - This paper analyzes the impacts of imposing a Federal 20 percent non-hydropower renewable generation portfolio standard (RPS) on US energy markets by 2020. The US currently has no RPS requirement although some state RPS regulations have been adopted but not uniformly enforced (see http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/analysispaper/rps/index.html for a recent summary on RPSs in the US). The renewable portfolio standard (RPS) requires that 20 percent of the power sold must come from qualifying renewable facilities. The analysis of the 20 percent RPS was developed by using the December 2001 version of the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) of the Energy Information Administration (EIA) and the assumptions and results of the Annual Energy Outlook 2002 (AEO2002) reference case. A policy that requires a 20 percent non-hydro-electric RPS by 2020 appears to be effective in promoting the adoption of renewable generation technologies while also reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides by 6 percent, mercury by 4 percent and carbon dioxide by about 16.5 percent relative to the reference case in 2020. Electricity prices are expected to rise about 3 percent while the cost to the electric power industry could rise between 35 and 60 billion dollars (in year 2000 dollars in net present value terms).

AN - 68922104; 17047671 AB - The extent of structural brain damage and related cognitive deficits has been little described in alcohol-dependent individuals with preserved social functioning. Thus, we investigated the relationship between regional alterations, executive performance, and drinking history. Volumes of gray and white matter were assessed using magnetic resonance imaging voxel-based morphometry in healthy men and in detoxified alcohol-dependent men with good psychosocial functioning. Their executive performance was assessed using neuropsychological tests. Regression analyses were carried out in the regions in which volume differences were detected. Decreases in gray matter were detected bilaterally in alcohol-dependents in the dorsolateral frontal cortex (up to 20% lower), and to a lesser extent in the temporal cortex, insula, thalamus, and cerebellum. Decreases in white matter volume were widespread, being up to 10% in corpus callosum. The degradation of neuropsychological performance correlated with gray matter volume decreases in the frontal lobe, insula, hippocampus, thalami and cerebellum, and with white matter decrease in the brainstem. An early age at first drinking was associated with decreased gray matter volumes in the cerebellum, brainstem (pons), and frontal regions. Regional alteration in gray and white matter volume was associated with impairment of executive function despite preserved social and somatic functioning in detoxified patients. Besides involving frontal regions, these findings are consistent with a cerebello-thalamo-cortical model of impaired executive functions in alcohol-dependent individuals.

The coring stations are 25 km apart from each other and form a triangle that is at the greatest distance from the nearest landmasses. The sediments consist of foraminifer-pteropod oozes (layers U1 and U4 from bottom to top), two pteropod oozes (U2 and U5) and a turbidite layer (U3). The same sequence has been identified in the three cores. The turbidite layer U3 that lies on top of U2 ( (super 14) C AMS dated at 1814 cal yrs BP) ranges from 5 to 11 cm thick and is clearly distinguished from the dominating hemipelagic sediments by colour variations, higher water content and the absence of planktonic foraminifer shells. Rather uniform values of organic carbon and nitrogen are also characteristic of the U3 turbidite unit, likely because of homogeneisation during transport and emplacement. In addition, U3 unit shows higher contents of terrigenous elements such as K and Fe. Otherwise, the presence of zeolites in the turbidite layer supports the hypothesis of the Sardinian continental margin, where pyroclastic deposits are known, as the most likely source area for U3. Our results demonstrate the ability of turbidity currents originating on the margins surrounding the Balearic Abyssal Plain to reach the very centre of the basin during high sea level still stands as the present one.

This paper does not review the different sorption mechanisms. It presents the physical bases underlying the definition of a sorption isotherm, different empirical or mechanistic models, and details several experimental methods to acquire a sorption isotherm. For appropriate measurements and interpretations of isotherm data, this review emphasizes 4 main points: (i) the adsorption (or desorption) isotherm does not provide automatically any information about the reactions involved in the sorption phenomenon. So, mechanistic interpretations must be carefully verified. (ii) Among studies, the range of reaction times is extremely wide and this can lead to misinterpretations regarding the irreversibility of the reaction: a pseudo-hysteresis of the release compared with the retention is often observed. The comparison between the mean characteristic time of the reaction and the mean residence time of the mobile phase in the natural system allows knowing if the studied retention/release phenomenon should be considered as an instantaneous reversible, almost irreversible phenomenon, or if reaction kinetics must be taken into account. (iii) When the concentration of the retained substance is low enough, the composition of the bulk solution remains constant and a single-species isotherm is often sufficient, although it remains strongly dependent on the background medium. At higher concentrations, sorption may be driven by the competition between several species that affect the composition of the bulk solution. (iv) The measurement method has a great influence. Particularly, the background ionic medium, the solid/solution ratio and the use of flow-through or closed reactor are of major importance. The chosen method should balance easy-to-use features and representativity of the studied natural conditions.

ESD per examination was estimated from X-ray tube output parameters in four hospitals comprising eight X-ray units and a sample of 346 radiographs. Hospital mean ESDs estimated range from 0.17 to 0.27 mGy for chest AP, 1.04-2.26 mGy for Skull AP/PA, 0.83-1.32 mGy for Skull LAT, 1.31-1.89 mGy for Pelvis AP, 1.46-3.33 mGy for Lumbar Spine AP and 2.9-9.9 mGy for Lumbar Spine LAT. With exception of chest PA examination at two hospitals, mean ESDs were found to be within the established international reference doses. The results are useful to national and professional organisations and can be used as a baseline upon which future dose measurements may be compared.

This model has been validated quantitatively, in the very different limits of zero viscosity ratio and zero capillary number; flow patterns from modeling agree well with experiment. For a range of stable viscosity ratios (mu (sub injected) /mu (sub displaced) >1), we have increased the capillary number, N (sub c) , and studied the way in which the flows deviate from capillary fingering (the fractal flow of invasion percolation) and become compact for realistic capillary numbers. Results exhibiting this crossover from capillary fingering to compact invasion are presented for the average position of the injected fluid, the fluid-fluid interface, the saturation and fractional flow profiles, and the relative permeabilities. The agreement between our results and earlier theoretical predictions [Blunt M, King MJ, Scher H. Simulation and theory of two-phase flow in porous media. Phys Rev A 1992;46:7680-99; Lenormand R.

Apart from known stochastic and deterministic effects, it is now of great concern that radioactive sources can also be deployed in terrorist activities if effective safety and security mechanisms are not instituted. Therefore it is necessary to ensure that, from the initial stage of use of the source to its final disposal, adequate security measures are put in place to prevent any related malevolent acts. The paper describes Tanzania's national strategy to meet this objective. The strategy involves the institution of regulatory control, the education and training of regulatory staff and stakeholders, the collection of disused sources, the security upgrading of facilities with high risk, emergency preparedness and international cooperation. While the situation is encouraging, future needs have been identified as searching, locating and recovering orphan and disused sources, monitoring of border crossings to detect illegal source movements, strengthening security during the transport of radioactive sources, increasing the capability and basic knowledge of first responders, collection and conditioning of sources no longer being used, and scrap metal monitoring.

Any concerns raised were generally directed towards the inadvertent use of or accidental exposure to radioactive materials, which would cause a concern for the environment, safety and public health. Only recently have governments and experts begun to recognize the possible malevolent use of radioactive materials -- that is, as weapons of mass disruption and of mass terror -- by fashioning the materials into a radiological dispersal device. The attacks on the United States of America by terrorists on 11 September 2001 serve as an exclamation point to this concern because they demonstrate in the most graphic terms the ways in which many of the most common tools and materials that societies throughout the world use to enhance the quality of life can be used as weapons.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has pursued several domestic initiatives in the area of safety and security. One of the initiatives involved working with the US Department of Energy in a joint study on radiological dispersal devices. This study identified radionuclides and quantities of concern, with recommendations for improvements in the tracking and inventory of high risk sealed sources. To meet the recommendations from the joint study and the US commitments in the Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive sources, the NRC is developing a National Source Tracking System. The NRC has also developed an interim database as precursor to a National Source Tracking System. The interim database is being updated periodically until the National Source Tracking System is in place. The National Source Tracking System will ultimately provide a 'cradle to grave' account for all high risk sealed sources. JF - SAFETY AND SECURITY OF RADIOACTIVE SOURCES.

The NRC is amending its export/import regulations in 10 CFR Part 110 (Part 110) to reflect recent changes to the nuclear and radioactive material security policies of the Commission and the Executive Branch, and to implement the IAEA's Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources (the Code) for the import and export of radioactive material. The revisions to Part 110 include enhanced tracking of certain exports and imports of radioactive materials through new requirements for specific licences, advanced notification procedures prior to shipment, verification of the recipient facility's licensing status, and review of the adequacy of the receiving country's controls on radioactive sources. The proposed changes to the NRC's export/import regulations in Part 110 apply to radioactive materials when exported or imported in amounts exceeding clearly defined limits. The NRC's limits are based on those contained in the Code, but also include bulk radioactive material. The regulation changes also provide the NRC with flexibility to treat each export and import licence application on a case by case basis, with the ability to accommodate the still evolving domestic and international security measures for radioactive material. The implementation date of this rule would allow a period of six months for exporters and importers to apply for and receive the required specific export and import licences.

The programme has expanded its efforts into additional radionuclides. Since 2004, the first substantial amounts of super(60)Co, super(137)Cs and super(90)Sr have been recovered. Commercial contractors safely removed nearly 500 of these sources from a bankrupt and abandoned Pennsylvania facility. In another action, super(137)Cs irradiators were removed from public schools in the New York City area. Most of these sources have been disposed of or recycled. The paper describes the USDOE's radiological threat reduction programme. JF - SAFETY AND SECURITY OF RADIOACTIVE SOURCES.

The Code prescribes legislative frameworks, regulatory programmes and import/export provisions for IAEA Member States. Following the IAEA General Conference in September 2003 at which the Code was formally adopted by Member States, the United States Government (through the State Department) indicated that it would implement the Code's provisions, even though the Code is not legally binding on IAEA Member States. Because of the mature state of the regulatory programme for commercial uses of radioactive material within the USA, most of the Code provisions applicable to the regulatory programme of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) either have already been met or only relatively minor programmatic adjustments are needed to meet them. In two areas, however, programmes are being developed: a national source registry and modification of import/export controls. Development of the National Source Tracking System (NSTS), which will serve as the source registry, has begun. The effort to populate the NSTS is expected to be initiated by late 2006. In the meantime, the NRC has developed an interim database (updated annually) as a precursor to the NSTS. A rule-making effort to modify import/export controls is also under way. Areas of additional attention include the proper management of disused sources (to minimize the potential for their becoming orphaned) and the reuse/recycling of sources. The paper describes the programme of the NRC in relation to the implementation of the Code. JF - SAFETY AND SECURITY OF RADIOACTIVE SOURCES.

Its eastern part has been investigated for fluorite mineralization. During this investigation 18 occurrences of fluorite were found in association with blue beryl. The important occurrences are present at Chatpat, Jaba Banda and Badwan localities as fracture fillings in sheared zones in granite gneiss, in pegmatites and in younger batches of albitized friable granite. Subsurface investigation, of fluorite bearing zones at Chatpat and Jaba Banda, through shallow trenching and drilling reveals that these occur in the form of small pods with swelling and pinching characters and do not make any significant and viable economic fluorite deposit for large scale mining and exploitation. However, fluorite occurrences of Badwan valley located in zones of sericitic alteration are of economic significance due to their large size.

AN - 70282031; 17364703 AB - Thyroid hormone signaling is highly conserved among all the vertebrates, and appears to be present in some invertebrates. Both the components that comprise the system and its general role in development and physiology are evolutionarily conserved, although specific events regulated by thyroid hormones, such as amphibian metamorphosis, may differ among taxonomic groups. The articles in this issue review the thyroid systems of mammals (specifically humans and rodents), fish, amphibians, and birds, and the states of the assays and endpoints used to detect disruption of the thyroid system within a toxicological paradigm. It must be noted that while reptiles represent an enormously important group, they were excluded because there was not enough information in the literature on thyroid toxicology in reptiles at the time that this series of reviews was drafted. Each review highlights the best assays for current regulatory use and those that may be considered for development for future use and research. However, it is important to remember that thyroid research is moving ahead at a fast pace. New thyroid research will impact the design of future thyroid assays used for the detection of thyroid system disruption in ways that may not be anticipated at the time of this writing. Several new areas of exploration are discussed that reveal potential sites of disruption in the thyroid system, including (1) the importance of the neural drive for TSH upregulation, (2) thyroid hormone transport, including cellular transporters like monocarboxylate anion transporter 8 (MCT8) that can regulate thyroid hormone action at the cellular level, and thyroid hormone-binding proteins in the serum that have been shown to differentially bind to environmental chemicals (e.g., certain PCB congeners), and (3) the deiodinases as a target for disruption of thyroid hormone activity in the peripheral thyroid system. The review papers in this issue represent the current state of thyroid assays and endpoints for detection of chemicals that disrupt the thyroid system.

AN - 70138891; 17827131 AB - A radiation protection system to assess the internal contamination of workers during decontamination activities in an abounded fertilizer industry in the region of Attika, Greece, has been implemented. This system concerns, among other radionuclides, 226Ra. Because of the low 226Ra activities in urine, alpha spectrometry was used as the determination method after radiochemical separation. Radium was co precipitated with lead sulphate and purified using anion and cation exchange techniques. The source for the alpha spectrometric measurement was prepared by the electrodeposition of radium, from an aqueous/ethanol solution, onto stainless steel. The tracer used was 229Th. The chemical yield and the activity concentration were calculated via its daughter radionuclide 217At. Using the time-evolution formulas to calculate the 217At growth from its parent radionuclide 225Ra, a computer software was developed. This software was incorporated in a database, which automatically calculates and stores the results.

AN - 70121965; 17185312 AB - Active Personal Dosemeters (APDs) are widely used in real-time personal dosimetry. Their performance, operational characteristics and limitations, as well as their calibration should be routinely checked to assure satisfactory operation and safe use. This study summarises the results of such type tests and calibrations performed in almost 4750 dosemeters at Ionising Radiation Calibration Laboratory (HIRCL) of Greek Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC). About 13.8% of the pencil type and 4.3% of the electronic dosemeters were found to be out of limits of acceptable performance. For the pencil type dosemeters, the mean calibration factor (CF+/-SD) for high- and low-dose categories was found to be 1.014+/-0.102 (range 0.793-1.458) and 0.995+/-0.059 (range 0.794-1.311), respectively. Of these >85% of them had reproducibility better than 90%, while <1% showed remarkable non-linearity and approximately 10% of them failed to retain the dose reading within the limits after 24 h. For the electronic dosemeters, the mean CF was 1.034+/-0.046 (range 0.967-1.238). The majority of them showed good reproducibility and linearity results while, after irradiation, the dose readings were not shifted through time. The energy response varies with the dosemeter type, reaching in one dosemeter type down to 50%. Both electronic and pencil did not showed electronic equilibrium problems.

AN - 68922530; 17226108 AB - Inositol phosphoglycan-like compounds are produced by the hydrolysis of the membrane bound glycosyl phosphoinositides. Besides being short term mediators of insulin action, they inhibit peroxidases and catalase, increasing the concentration of cellular hydrogen peroxide. Although high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide are toxic, moderate increases of its basal level are signals for different metabolic pathways. The inhibitor, localized in the cytosol of the cell, acts on peroxidases and catalase of the same tissue (homologous action) and of other tissues or organisms (heterologous action). The inositol phosphoglycan-like compound inhibits peroxidases with different prosthetic groups, i.e. containing iron such as: thyroid peroxidase, lactoperoxidase, horseradish peroxidase, soy bean peroxidase; and containing selenium such as glutathione peroxidase and 2-cys peroxiredoxin with no prosthetic group. Besides peroxidases, the inositol phosphoglycan-like compound inhibits catalase, another heme enzyme. The inhibition kinetics demonstrates a noncompetitive effect. The site of action is not the prosthetic group, given that the inhibitor does not produce any effect on the peak in the Soret region in the presence or absence of hydrogen peroxide. In conclusion, the inositol phosphoglycan-like compound is the general inhibitor of peroxidases and catalase involved in the modulation of hydrogen peroxide level that acts in different metabolic pathways as a signal transducer.

More than 90 soil samples were collected from points uniformly distributed throughout the land of Lebanon in order to evaluate their radioactivity. The data obtained showed a relatively high (137)Cs activity per surface area contamination, up to 6545Bqm(-2) in the top soil layer 0-3cm. The average activity of (137)Cs in the top soil layer 0-3cm in depth was 59.7Bqkg(-1) dry soil ranging from 15 to 119Bqkg(-1) dry soil. The horizontal variability was found to be about 45% between the sampling sites. The depth distribution of total (137)Cs activity in soil showed an exponential decrease. Estimation of the annual effective dose due to external radiation from (137)Cs contaminated soil for selected sites gave values ranging from 19.3 to 91.6 micro Svy(-1).

AN - 68359280; 16934479 AB - This paper presents results obtained from studying the impact of the Syrian phosphate industry on the environment. This work is based on evaluating naturally occurring radionuclide concentrations in the surrounding environment at the locations of this industry, viz. mines, phosphate fertilizers factory and phosphate export platforms. Air particulates, soil, water (river, lake and sea water), biota and plant samples were collected and analyzed. Natural radionuclides ((226)Ra, (nat)U, (210)Po, (210)Pb) were determined by means of low background gamma spectrometry and alpha spectrometry. The results showed that the distribution and enhancement of natural radionuclides in the surrounding environment in these three locations are mainly due to fallout of phosphate dust generated during loading and processing of phosphate ore. The extent of contamination was related to climate conditions. Radon gas and its daughters generated from phosphate ores were found to be the main source of enhanced concentrations of (210)Po and (210)Pb in soil and leafy plants. These results can be considered as baseline data and can be used to prove the effectiveness of any future pollution controls adopted.

To ensure continued technological leadership in the world, President Bush announced the American Competitiveness Initiative (ACI) in his State of the Union address. The ACI commits $5.9 billion in FY 2007, and more than $136 billion over 10 years, to increase investments in Research and Development, strengthen education, and encourage entrepreneurship and innovation. The centerpiece of the American Competitiveness Initiative is the President's proposal to double, over ten years, priority basic research in the physical sciences and engineering. The Administration strongly supports awarding research funds based on merit review through a competitive process. Research earmarks, the assignment of money during the legislative process for use only by a specific organization or project, are counter to a merit-based competitive selection process. To maximize the effectiveness of federally-funded research, the President calls upon Congress and the academic community to withhold securing research and facilities funding through earmarks, particularly in the American Competitiveness Initiative agencies.

Climate proxy records in the region show that numerous climate regimes occurred during the past 800 k.y. ranging from warm interglacial periods (similar to modern climate) to cool or cold and wet glacial periods. The current climate at Yucca Mountain is arid, with an annual average precipitation of approximately 17.7 cm/yr. Most of the annual precipitation occurs during winter or during July and August monsoons. Annual average temperatures generally range from 15 degrees to 18 degrees C but can exceed 40 degrees C during summer. Continuously deposited calcite at Devils Hole, Nevada, provides a precise chronology that can be used to calibrate other climate proxy data that provide estimates of the nature and magnitude of past climate events. During past glacial periods, mean annual temperature may have been as much as 10 degrees to 15 degrees C cooler than present temperatures, with mean annual precipitation as much as 1.4-3 times present precipitation. These records of past climate are used to bound estimates of future climate to assess future potential infiltration. Five maximum infiltration scenarios are estimated to occur within the next 500 k.y. providing that anthropogenic disturbance does not modify or alter long-term climate change.

This chapter provides the geologic framework for the Yucca Mountain region. The regional geologic units range in age from late Precambrian through Holocene, and these are described briefly. Yucca Mountain is composed dominantly of pyroclastic units that range in age from 11.4 to 15.2 Ma. The proposed repository would be constructed within the Topopah Spring Tuff, which is the lower of two major zoned and welded ash-flow tuffs within the Paintbrush Group. The two welded tuffs are separated by the partly to nonwelded Pah Canyon Tuff and Yucca Mountain Tuff, which together figure prominently in the hydrology of the unsaturated zone. The Quaternary deposits are primarily alluvial sediments with minor basaltic cinder cones and flows. Both have been studied extensively because of their importance in predicting the long-term performance of the proposed repository. Basaltic volcanism began ca. 10 Ma and continued as recently as ca. 80 ka with the eruption of cones and flows at Lathrop Wells, approximately 10 km south-southwest of Yucca Mountain. Geologic structure in the Yucca Mountain region is complex. During the latest Paleozoic and Mesozoic, strong compressional forces caused tight folding and thrust faulting. The present regional setting is one of extension, and normal faulting has been active from the Miocene through to the present.

Because of the uncertainty involved with long-term (10,000 yr minimum) prediction of tectonic events (e.g., earthquakes) and the incomplete understanding of the history of strain and its mechanisms in the Yucca Mountain region, a tectonic model is needed. A tectonic model should represent the structural assemblage of the mountain in its tectonic setting and account for that assemblage through a history of deformation in which all of the observed deformation features are linked in time and space. Four major types of tectonic models have been proposed for Yucca Mountain: a caldera model; simple shear (detachment fault) models; pure shear (planar fault) models; and lateral shear models. Most of the models seek to explain local features in the context of well-accepted regional deformation mechanisms. Evaluation of the models in light of site characterization shows that none of them completely accounts for all the known tectonic features of Yucca Mountain or is fully compatible with the deformation history. The Yucca Mountain project does not endorse a preferred tectonic model. However, most experts involved in the probabilistic volcanic hazards analysis and the probabilistic seismic hazards analysis preferred a planar fault type model.

The principal volcanic-rock units are the Tiva Canyon and Topopah Spring Tuffs of the Paintbrush Group, which consist of volumetrically large eruptive sequences derived from compositionally distinct magma bodies in the nearby southwestern Nevada volcanic field, and are classic examples of a magmatic zonation characterized by an upper crystal-rich (>10% crystal fragments) member, a more voluminous lower crystal-poor (<5% crystal fragments) member, and an intervening thin transition zone. Rocks within the crystal-poor member of the Topopah Spring Tuff, lying some 280 m below the crest of Yucca Mountain, constitute the proposed host rock to be excavated for the storage of high-level radioactive wastes. Separation of the tuffaceous rock formations into subunits that allow for detailed mapping and structural interpretations is based on macroscopic features, most importantly the relative abundance of lithophysae and the degree of welding. The latter feature, varying from nonwelded through partly and moderately welded to densely welded, exerts a strong control on matrix porosities and other rock properties that provide essential criteria for distinguishing hydrogeologic and thermal-mechanical units, which are of major interest in evaluating the suitability of Yucca Mountain to host a safe and permanent geologic repository for waste storage. A thick and varied sequence of surficial deposits mantle large parts of the Yucca Mountain site area. Mapping of these deposits and associated soils in exposures and in the walls of trenches excavated across buried faults provides evidence for multiple surface-rupturing events along all of the major faults during Pleistocene and Holocene times; these paleoseismic studies form the basis for evaluating the potential for future earthquakes and fault displacements. Thermoluminescence and U-series analyses were used to date the surficial materials involved in the Quaternary faulting events. The rate of erosional downcutting of bedrock on the ridge crests and hillslopes of Yucca Mountain, being of particular concern with respect to the potential for breaching of the proposed underground storage facility, was studied by using rock varnish cation-ratio and (super 10) Be and (super 36) Cl cosmogenic dating methods to determine the length of time bedrock outcrops and hillslope boulder deposits were exposed to cosmic rays, which then served as a basis for calculating long-term erosion rates. The results indicate rates ranging from 0.04 to 0.27 cm/k.y., which represent the maximum downcutting along the summit of Yucca Mountain under all climatic conditions that existed there during most of Quaternary time. Associated studies include the stratigraphy of surficial deposits in Fortymile Wash, the major drainage course in the area, which record a complex history of four to five cut-and-fill cycles within the channel during middle to late Quaternary time. The last 2-4 m of incision probably occurred during the last pluvial climatic period, 22-18 ka, followed by aggradation to the present time. Major faults at Yucca Mountain--from east to west, the Paintbrush Canyon, Bow Ridge, Stagecoach Road, Solitario Canyon, Fatigue Wash, Windy Wash, and Northern and Southern Crater Flat Faults--trend predominantly north, are spaced 1-5 km apart, have bedrock displacements ranging from 125 m to as much as 500 m, and exhibit Quaternary movements of several centimeters to a few meters. Displacements are predominantly down to the west, and bedrock/alluvium contacts commonly are marked by fault-line scarps. The predominant northerly fault trend changes to a more northeasterly trend in adjacent areas south of the site area owing to clockwise vertical-axis rotation. Structural blocks between the block-bounding faults are internally deformed by numerous minor faults, some oriented northwest and exhibiting strike-slip movements. Investigations to determine the natural resource potential of the Yucca Mountain area--metallic minerals, industrial rocks and minerals, hydrocarbon and other energy resources, and geothermal resources--resulted in findings indicating that a given commodity either (1) is not known to exist in the area, or (2) is present in such low concentrations as to be noneconomic.

In many applications, it is important to measure the temporal change in the subsurface, because the change is associated with deformation, fluid flow, temperature changes, or changes in material properties. We present an overview of how noninvasive geophysical methods can be used for this purpose. We focus on monitoring mechanical properties, fluid transport, and biogeochemical processes, and present case studies that illustrate the use of geophysical methods for detecting time-lapse changes in associated properties.

In a laboratory study on spontaneous combustion, samples of coal, coal refuse, and carbonaceous shale were heated at a controlled rate between ambient temperature and 250 degrees C. In these experiments, the concentration of O (sub 2) was not limited and the concentration of CO (sub 2) increased with increasing temperature to a maximum of 10%. Carbon monoxide was not detected at temperatures below 100 degrees C, and the maximum concentration of CO was less than 4%. In field studies, samples of combustion gases were obtained from fires in three abandoned coal mines. These indicated a linear increase in the concentration of CO (sub 2) relative to the decreased concentration of O (sub 2) . At an O (sub 2) concentration of 2%, the CO (sub 2) concentration approached 15%, and CO was detected only when the O (sub 2) concentration was less than 8%. At temperatures over 50 degrees C, the rate of desorption of CH (sub 4) also increased, but the average concentration in the mine atmosphere was 0.20%. These laboratory experiments and field studies indicate that the rate of gas production is controlled by O (sub 2) concentration and temperature, but physical factors, such as overburden fracturing and differences between surface and subsurface temperature and pressure, control the rate of emission to the atmosphere. In coal-mine fires, both chemical and physical factors control the rate and magnitude of contributions to the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases.

An aggressive production goal has been framed and studies have been made to determine what government and private sector action is needed to achieve those goals. A number of impediments to development have been identified including poor resource characterization, lack of federal lands leasing regulations, uncertainties with technology efficiency and reliability, uncertain permitting timelines, regressive fiscal regimes, and immature mechanisms for socioeconomic impact mitigation. Strategies designed to stimulate private sector investment have been developed that address each of these impediments. Some strategies are currently being implemented and others will require further Congressional and Administration action. The various considerations and activities will be presented.

However, several key issues, such as underground storage time and the fate of the injected CO (sub 2) , must be studied before this option becomes economically and socially acceptable. In order to the feasibility of CO (sub 2) injection, we conducted feldspar dissolution experiments in CO (sub 2) impregnated brines. Feldspars dissolution rates were calculated based on temporal change in solution chemistry. Analysis of mineral reactants (SEM, TEM and XPS) following the experiments confirmed the existence of abundant secondary mineralization associated with feldspar surfaces. The reaction path and secondary minerals precipitation kinetics were determined by reaction-path modeling. The slow kinetics of secondary minerals exert a strong control of feldspar dissolution. The experimental work was supplemented with one-dimensional reactive mass-transport modeling. The dissolution of the injected CO (sub 2) into brine causes a sharp drop in pH, and consequently, the acidic brine aggressively reacts with aquifer minerals. Our model also predicts the dissolution of aluminosilicate minerals with the formation of secondary minerals and the precipitation and dissolution of carbonate minerals and is consistent with laboratory-scale CO (sub 2) core-flooding experiments in the literature. The transport of carbon can be significantly retarded with respect to the flow of the brine itself, and a significant amount of injected CO (sub 2) is immobilized because of mineral trapping. The carbon reactive transport is sensitive to the reaction rates used, illustrating the need for improved knowledge of reaction kinetics.

These goals equate to removing environmental and climate change concerns associated with fossil fuel use while simultaneously establishing a foundation for a hydrogen-based economy and a secure energy future in the U.S. Launched in 2000, SECA is an inventive collaboration among government, the private sector and the scientific community to accelerate the development of modular, low-cost, fuel-flexible solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems that can operate on coal gas, natural gas, bio-fuels, diesel fuel and hydrogen. This approach will facilitate deployment into the marketplace by emphasizing cost competitiveness with established technologies while taking advantage of existing fuel distribution infrastructures. SECA's DOE mission is to have its fuel cell systems ready for FutureGen, soon to be the world's cleanest coal-fueled power plant. SECA has surpassed its first set of cost reduction targets providing strong confidence in the 2010 $400/kW goal. By developing fuel cells to operate cost effectively on various fuels, it is building a bridge to the hydrogen economy while solving today's environmental, climate change, and fuel availability issues. The once distant vision of using clean, low-cost fuel cell technology for everyday applications is now within reach.

AN - 36523870; 3325782 AB - Rapid expansion of highway and jet traffic in China has created a surge of demand for oil products, putting pressure on world energy markets and petroleum product prices. This paper examines trends in freight and passenger traffic to assess how growth in China's transport demand relates to growth in China's economy, as well as the energy intensity of transport. Based on assumptions about demand elasticity and energy intensity, a range of scenarios is developed for China's oil demand through 2020. Incremental oil demand from China's transport sector is then compared with world oil demand projections to assess the likely impact on world oil prices. The finding is that new demand from China's transport sector would likely raise world oil prices in 2020 by 1-3% in reference scenarios or by 3-10% if oil supply investment is constrained.

The vadose zone here is characterized by often highly stratified glacial-fluvial sediments that give rise to complex subsurface-flow paths that contribute to uncertainty of contaminant fate and transport. Research efforts have focused on answering questions of contaminant transport from the viewpoint of geologic, biologic, geochemical, and hydrologic controls. This special section highlights key research topics concerning vadose zone problems at the Hanford Site. Research indicates that some of the contaminant species ( super(137)Cs, super(60)Co, super(90)Sr) are retained by Hanford sediments as a result of geochemical reactions, rendering them effectively immobile except under extremely saline or acidic conditions, while other species ( super(99)Tc, super(129)I, super(3)H) are typically mobile and have moved deep into the vadose zone and subsequently into groundwater. In addition, large quantities of organics, including carbon tetrachloride, have moved in complex ways as both vapor and liquid in the subsurface. Observed transport of mobile species is linked to liquid discharges and to elevated recharge rates that occur primarily at waste sites where land surfaces are void of vegetation and where winter rains have subsequently penetrated the subsurface wastes. A series of papers in this issue documents progress to date in understanding transport rates at Hanford, why anisotropy strongly affects the distribution of subsurface contaminants, why organic contaminants are difficult to find in the deep vadose zone, and what the impacts of hypersaline fluids are on waste form degradation and subsequent transport.

F sub(1) progeny of irradiated parents was more susceptible to B. thuringiensis than that of nonirradiated parents. A combination of irradiation and B. thuringiensis led to higher mortality in F sub(1) progeny of P. operculella. The LC sub(50) was 0.406 g/100 ml for F sub(1) progeny of nonirradiated parents, but 0.199 g/100 ml for those of irradiated parents. There was a great reduction in the pupal weight, fecundity and egg hatchability of F sub(1) progeny of irradiated parents compared to nonirradiated parents. Such reduction was increased by applying a higher concentration of B. thuringiensis. A combination of the inherited sterility technique and B. thuringiensis application gave a good control result against P. operculella.

The initial focus on power electronics has been to understand the interactions between the SOFC stack, the power conditioning subsystem and the application load requirements and dynamic behaviour. Advances in lower-cost and high-efficiency power electronic converters and inverters are a major factor in achieving attractive simple cycle fuel to electricity conversion efficiencies of 50% to 60% for DG fuel cell power plants. Functionality and performance requirements for power conditioning subsystems will vary between the numerous possible applications for SOFC power generation technology, providing a highly interesting and challenging future in power systems product engineering and development.

These experiments showed a significant variation in the initial degradation (9 days of exposure) based on the curing conditions. The high-temperature (50 degree C) and high-pressure (30.3 MPa) curing environment increased the degree of hydration and caused a change in the microstructure and distribution of the Ca(OH) sub(2(s)) phase within the cement. Cement cured at 50 degree C and 30.3 MPa (representing sequestration conditions) proved to be more resistant to carbonic acid attack than cement cured at 22 degree C and 0.1 MPa. The cement cured at 50 degree C and 30.3 MPa exhibited a shallower depth of degradation and displayed a well-defined carbonated zone as compared to cement cured under ambient conditions. This is likely due to smaller, more evenly distributed Ca(OH) sub(2(s)) crystals that provide a uniform and effective barrier to CO sub(2) attack.

In order to gain a more complete understanding of the impact of SO sub(x) on ACI, mercury capture was tested under varying conditions of SO sub(2) and SO sub(3) concentrations using a packed bed reactor and simulated flue gas (SFG). The final mercury content of the activated carbons is independent of the SO sub(2) concentration in the SFG, but the presence of SO sub(3) inhibits mercury capture even at the lowest concentration tested (20 ppm). The mercury removal capacity decreases as the sulfur content of the used activated carbons increases from 1 to 10%. In one extreme case, an activated carbon with 10% sulfur, prepared by H sub(2)SO sub(4) impregnation, shows almost no mercury capacity. The results suggest that mercury and sulfur oxides are in competition for the same binding sites on the carbon surface.

Even modest changes in fuel composition or operating conditions can lead to damaging vibrations in a combustor that was otherwise stable. For this reason, active control has been sought to stabilize combustors that must accommodate fuel variability, new operating conditions, etc. Active control of combustion dynamics has been demonstrated in a number of laboratories, single-nozzle test combustors, and even on a fielded engine. In most of these tests, active control was implemented with closed-loop feedback between the observed pressure signal and the phase and gain of imposed fuel perturbations. In contrast, a number of recent papers have shown that open-loop fuel perturbations can disrupt the feedback between acoustics and heat release that drives the oscillation. Compared to the closed-loop case, this approach has some advantages because it may not require high-fidelity fuel actuators, and could be easier to implement. This paper reports experimental tests of open-loop fuel perturbations to control combustion dynamics in a complete gas turbine engine. Results demonstrate the technique was very successful on the test engine and had minimal effect on pollutant emissions. JF - Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power.

Far too often, these risk analyses were not performed during development but retrospectively to simply meet regulatory reporting requirements. When these analyses revealed problems that had tol be corrected, corrections were made often with greater difficylty and cost than if they had been identidied earlier in the development process. Over the past decade, the importance of a proactive approach to managing risk has emerged. This article discusses quality assutance and risk management practices.

First, an overview (now article 2) was added to discuss how new data and new directions for thyroid research will play an important role in shaping thyroid assays as they evolve. Second, each of the original chapters of the thyroid DRP have been separated into individual papers. The appendices of the original DRP were removed and will be merged and published separately.

Results indicated that sesbania residues (L and L+R), used as green manures, significantly increased grain yield, dry matter production, N uptake, and water use efficiency of sorghum. Percentages of nitrogen (N) derived from residues (%Ndfr) in sorghum ranged from 6.4% to 28%. The N recoveries in sorghum were 52%, 19.6% and 19.7% of the total amount contained in sesbania roots, shoots and roots plus shoots, respectively. The beneficial effects of sesbania residues are attributed not only to the additional N availability to the plants, but also to effects on the enhancement of soil N uptake, particularly in the L+R treatment. The findings suggest that the use of Sesbania aculeata residues, as a green manure, can provide a substantial portion of total N in sorghum. In addition, the use of sesbania green manure in salt-affected soils, as a bio-reclaiming material, can be a promising approach for enhancing plant growth on a sustainable basis.

Cobalt ferrite (CoFe sub(2)O sub(4)) nanoparticles, on the other hand, are not known to occur in living organisms. Here we report on the use of the recombinant mms6 protein in a templated synthesis of CoFe sub(2)O sub(4) nanocrystals in vitro. We have covalently attached the full-length mms6 protein and a synthetic C-terminal domain of mms6 protein to self-assembling polymers in order to template hierarchical CoFe sub(2)O sub(4) nanostructures. This new synthesis pathway enables facile room-temperature shape-specific synthesis of complex magnetic crystalline nanomaterials with particle sizes in the range of 40-100 nm that are difficult to produce using conventional techniques.

This work extends these concepts to non-steady flow conditions and temporally varying inlet concentrations. The essential construct that makes the approach feasible is definition of a set of reference (steady) state conditions under which the residence time distribution (RTD) and stream-tube specific rate constants are defined. Residence time in any stream tube under non-steady flow is treated as a linear function of its reference-condition residence time, and the overall wetland retention time under both mean and varying flow regimes. Outlet concentration is found by convolution of the reaction term with a varying inlet concentration function. For real-world flow and concentration data collected at discrete points in time, integration for outlet concentration is approximated using linear interpolation to generate inlet concentrations and velocities at intermediate points in time. The approach is examined using data from the literature. Vegetation density and depth distributions are seen as central in determining mixing and treatment performance.

This process which produces sequestration ready CO sub(2) systems is a promising technology to be utilized with coal gasification systems. In the present work, chemical- looping combustion has been studied with an oxygen carrier, NiO/bentonite (60 wt % NiO) for the gasification systems utilizing simulated synthesis gas. Global reaction rates of reduction and oxidation as a function of conversion were calculated for oxidation-reduction cycles utilizing the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) data on multicycle tests conducted with NiO/bentonite at atmospheric pressure between 700 and 900 degree C. The rate of reduction increased slightly with an increase in temperature, while the rate of oxidation decreased at 900 degree C. The effect of particle size of the oxygen carrier on CLC was studied for the particle size between 20 and 200 mesh. The rates of reactions depended on the particle size of the oxygen carrier. The smaller the particle size, the higher the reaction rates. The multicycle CLC tests conducted in a high-pressure flow reactor showed stable reactivity for the production of CO sub(2) from fuel gas at 800 and 900 degree C and full consumption of hydrogen during the reaction. The data from a one cycle test on the effect of the pressure on the performance with NiO/bentonite utilizing the tapered element oscillating microbalance (TEOM) showed a positive effect of the pressure on the global rates of reduction-oxidation reactions at higher fractional conversions. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the presence of the NiO phase in NiO/bentonite with the oxidized sample in the high-pressure reactor and Ni phase with the reduced sample. The presence of a small amount of NiO in the reduced sample detected by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) may be due to its exposure to air during sample transfer from the reactor to XPS. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed no significant changes in morphology of NiO/bentonite reacted in the temperature range 700-800 degree C in an atmospheric TGA for 10 oxidation- reduction cycles, but some loss of surface area and porosity was observed at 900 degree C. This effect was found to be greater with increase in the particle size of the oxygen carrier.

Human papilloma virus (HPV)-16 DNA was hybridized to probes that were covalently bound to a glass surface and detected with a single-molecule imaging system. In the single-probe mode, the whole genome and target DNA were fluorescently labeled before hybridization. In the dual- probe mode, a second probe was introduced that has a fluorescently labeled 1- kb DNA strand connected to the 50-nt probe sequence. With the single-probe method, the detection limit was 0.7 copy/cell, which was similar to that reported in a flow system earlier. With the dual-probe method, the linear dynamic range covers 1.44-7000 copies/cell, which is typical of early infection to near-cancer stages. Both methods were applied to cell line samples with known HPV-16 infection, and the result showed a good match with the reported viral load. DNA from cervical cells, collected with the Pap smear sampling method, was spiked with HPV-16 DNA and submitted to this assay to show compatibility with conventional sampling methods. The dual-probe method was further tested with a crudely prepared sample. The cells were heat lyzed and spun down, and the supernatant was immediately submitted to hybridization. Even with reduced hybridization efficiency caused by the interference of cellular materials, we were still able to differentiate infected cells with 600 copies/cell from healthy cells.

This paucity of enhancer collections with defined activities has thus hindered computational approaches for the genome-wide prediction of enhancers and their functions. To fill this void, we utilize comparative genome analysis to identify candidate enhancer elements in the human genome coupled with the experimental determination of their in vivo enhancer activity in transgenic mice [L. A. Pennacchio et al. (2006) Nature, in press]. These data are available through the VISTA Enhancer Browser (http://enhancer.lbl.gov). This growing database currently contains over 250 experimentally tested DNA fragments, of which more than 100 have been validated as tissue-specific enhancers. For each positive enhancer, we provide digital images of whole-mount embryo staining at embryonic day 11.5 and an anatomical description of the reporter gene expression pattern. Users can retrieve elements near single genes of interest, search for enhancers that target reporter gene expression to a particular tissue, or download entire collections of enhancers with a defined tissue specificity or conservation depth. These experimentally validated training sets are expected to provide a basis for a wide range of downstream computational and functional studies of enhancer function.

Major advances in DNA sequencing capability and the advent of genome-enabled studies have produced key insights into how microorganisms adapt to environmental conditions and/or biotransform subsurface contaminants starting from analyses of genome content. These techniques enable the researcher to detect how an organism responds to its environment and, potentially, to devise better methods to promote specific microbial activity in subsurface environments. The U.S. Department of Energy sponsors genome research through the Genomics:GTL program. One of the applications of this research is to better understand and control biological processes influencing the mobility of contaminants of concern to DOE such as metals and radionuclides. Genome and gene expression techniques have led to new insights into the functioning of subsurface microbial communities, but the true potential of these techniques is still to be revealed. As genome-enabled science progresses, techniques for evaluating gene expression patterns of whole communities will advance the understanding and development of optimized in situ bioremediation and more realistic simulations of microbial contaminant biotransformation.

AN - 36342040; 12577 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a early site permit (ESP) for the North Anna Power Station (NAPS), on Lake Anna, Louisa County, Virginia is proposed in a preliminary EIS of January 2004. Approval of the permit would allow the applicant, Dominion Nuclear North Anna, LLC (Dominion), to develop a site within the existing North Anna Power Station for the construction and operation of new nuclear power generating facilities. The proposed action does not constitute any decision or approval to construct or operate one or more units; these matters would be considered only upon the filing of applications for a construction permit and operating license. No alternative land use has been identified. This EIS includes 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 the final EIS, including the potential mitigation measures identified. The staff has also concluded that there is 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 versus gas-cooled reactors. Alternative sites considered in the draft EIS include the Savannah Riversite and the Portsmouth ESP site. A July 2006 supplemental EIS amend the ESP application made in a November 2004 draft EIS to request the implementation of a new approach for cooling the Unit 3 reactor. Under the new approach, Unit 3 would use a closed-cycle cooling system rather than the originally proposed once-trough cooling system. The newly proposed cooling system would not use the 3,400-acre waste heat treatment facility for cooling. Dominion also proposes to increase the power level of both unit 3 and Unit 4 from 4,300 megawatts-thermal (MW(t)) to 4,500 MW(t). 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 preliminary 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 and access corridors could be affected by clearing, grading, and long-term disturbance of 128 acres, with an additional 67.9 acres to be disturbed on a short-term basis. Cooling system water would 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, would mar visual aesthetics in the area of the lake, which is visited by thousands of recreationists each year.

AN - 36347939; 12563 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station on the western shore of Cape Cod Bay in the town of Plymouth, Plymouth County Massachusetts is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 29th 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, Energy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Energy), 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 June 8, 2012. The power station, which is located within in a 140-acre site, adjacent to 1,500 acres of additional land owned by Energy, on the western shore of Cape Cod Bay, consists of one unit equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, employs one boiling-water reactor unit and a steam-driven turbine generator manufactured by General Electric Company. The unit was originally licensed for an output of 1,998 megawatts-thermal (MW[t]), and commercial operation began in December 1972. In 2003, the station underwent a thermal power optimization, which increased the electrical raging to 715 gross megawatts-electric (MW[e]). The reactor uses a once-through cooling system and a service water system that withdrawal water from Cape Cod Bay through an intake embayment formed by two breakwaters and returns water to the bay through a 900-foot trapezoidal discharge canal separated from the intake embayment by a breakwater. 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. Two 345-kilovolt transmission lines, on extending five miles and the other extending 2.2 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 and adjacent land held by Energy 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 Cape Cod Bay and discharge water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

This is particularly true for fisheries science, where management decisions are often controversial. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service instituted the Center for Independent Experts (CIE) in 1998 as a national peer-review program. Operations of the CIE, run under a contract with the University of Miami, maintain the independence of reviewers from the agency, and follow strict conflict of interest guidelines. Reviews by the CIE fulfill the requirements of the Information Quality Act and the Office of Management and Budget's Peer Review Bulletin. The CIE completed 101 reviews between 1999 and September 2006. Ninety-eight reviewers have participated in CIE reviews, with 72% of them coming from overseas. Case studies involving groundfish data and stock assessments, and marine-mammal abundance, are described, including the scientific issues, CIE operations, requirements for the reviews, conclusions of the reviewers, and the agency's responses. Impacts of the CIE on the agency's science include improvements to regional stock assessment processes and to stock-assessment and field-survey methods, and reductions in contentious challenges to the agency's science.

Depending on the FGD process, a large portion of this Hg may be incorporated into the FGD slurry and its solid byproducts including synthetic gypsum, a material commonly used in the manufacturing of wallboard. The potential for atmospheric and groundwater releases of Hg arises during the manufacturing processes, during the preparation and use of the manufactured products, and eventually upon disposal of the wallboard or other products. In this paper, the fate and mobility of Hg in FGD products and process streams were investigated. Experimental approaches, including leaching studies and size separation techniques, were used to investigate products including FGD-outlet slurry and wallboard production line samples. Results of the experiments reported here indicate that, in a number of cases, Hg mobility is limited. Further, the agent responsible for the immobilization appears to be not the finer particles of gypsum itself but an iron-rich phase, such as iron coated clay minerals or iron oxide/hydroxide particles, probably introduced with the limestone used to form the SO sub(2)-capture reagent.

These assays, however, often require long incubation times, limiting sample throughput. As an approach to overcome this weakness, this paper examines the use of rotating capture substrates to increase the flux of antigen to the surface, thereby reducing the incubation time. To assess the capability of this approach, porcine parvovirus (PPV) was selectively extracted from solution by systematically varying the rotation rate of a gold substrate modified with a layer of anti-PPV monoclonal antibodies. The captured PPV were then directly imaged and quantified by atomic force microscopy. The benefits of substrate rotation are demonstrated by comparing an assay performed under stagnant conditions to one carried out with substrate rotation at 800rpm, both for 10min incubations at 25 super(o)C. The use of rotation lowered the limit of detection to 3.4x10 super(4)TCID sub(5) sub(0)/mL (~80fM) from 3.2x10 super(5)TCID sub(5) sub(0)/mL (~800fM) under stagnant conditions. Results are also presented that show this strategy can be used: (1) to determine antigen concentrations without standards and (2) to establish the numerical relationship between quantal concentration units (e.g., 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID sub(5) sub(0))) and quantitative concentration units (e.g., viruses/mL) The potential to broadly apply this technique to heterogeneous immunoassays is also briefly discussed.

One major obstacle is the lack of experimentally validated training sets. In this study, we made use of extreme evolutionary sequence conservation as a filter to identify putative gene regulatory elements, and characterized the in vivo enhancer activity of a large group of non-coding elements in the human genome that are conserved in human-pufferfish, Takifugu (Fugu) rubripes, or ultraconserved in human-mouse-rat. We tested 167 of these extremely conserved sequences in a transgenic mouse enhancer assay. Here we report that 45% of these sequences functioned reproducibly as tissue-specific enhancers of gene expression at embryonic day 11.5. While directing expression in a broad range of anatomical structures in the embryo, the majority of the 75 enhancers directed expression to various regions of the developing nervous system. We identified sequence signatures enriched in a subset of these elements that targeted forebrain expression, and used these features to rank all [tilde]3,100 non-coding elements in the human genome that are conserved between human and Fugu. The testing of the top predictions in transgenic mice resulted in a threefold enrichment for sequences with forebrain enhancer activity. These data dramatically expand the catalogue of human gene enhancers that have been characterized in vivo, and illustrate the utility of such training sets for a variety of biological applications, including decoding the regulatory vocabulary of the human genome.

Here, we describe the characterization of these extinct hominids from a new perspective, based on the development of a Neanderthal metagenomic library and its high-throughput sequencing and analysis. Several lines of evidence indicate that the 65,250 base pairs of hominid sequence so far identified in the library are of Neanderthal origin, the strongest being the ascertainment of sequence identities between Neanderthal and chimpanzee at sites where the human genomic sequence is different. These results enabled us to calculate the human-Neanderthal divergence time based on multiple randomly distributed autosomal loci. Our analyses suggest that on average the Neanderthal genomic sequence we obtained and the reference human genome sequence share a most recent common ancestor approximately 706,000 years ago, and that the human and Neanderthal ancestral populations split approximately 370,000 years ago, before the emergence of anatomically modern humans. Our finding that the Neanderthal and human genomes are at least 99.5% identical led us to develop and successfully implement a targeted method for recovering specific ancient DNA sequences from metagenomic libraries. This initial analysis of the Neanderthal genome advances our understanding of the evolutionary relationship of Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis and signifies the dawn of Neanderthal genomics.

Molecular profiling of the NCI-60 cancer cell lines using five different microarray platforms showed strong negative correlations of asparagine synthetase (ASNS) expression and DNA copy number with sensitivity to L-ASP in the leukemia and ovarian cancer cell subsets. To assess whether the ovarian relationship is causal, we used RNA interference to silence ASNS in three ovarian lines and observed 4- to 5-fold potentiation of sensitivity to L-ASP with two of the lines. For OVCAR-8, the line that expresses the least ASNS, the potentiation was >500-fold. Significantly, that potentiation was >700-fold in the multidrug-resistant derivative OVCAR-8/ADR, showing that the causal relationship between ASNS expression and L-ASP activity survives development of classical multidrug resistance. Tissue microarrays confirmed low ASNS expression in a subset of clinical ovarian cancers as well as other tumor types. Overall, this pharmacogenomic/pharmacoproteomic study suggests the use of L-ASP for treatment of a subset of ovarian cancers (and perhaps other tumor types), with ASNS as a biomarker for patient selection.

Alpha and beta apo-subunit genes of R- phycoerythrin from red algae Polisiphonia boldii were cloned in plasmid pET- 21d(+). Hexahistidine-tagged alpha and beta apo-subunits were expressed in Escherichia coli. Although expressed apo-subunits formed inclusion bodies, fluorescent holo-subunits were constituted after incubation of E. coli cells with phycoerythrobilin. Holo-subunits contained both phycoerythrobilin and urobilin chromophores. Fluorescence and differential interference contrast microscopy showed polar location of holo-subunit inclusion bodies in bacterial cells. Cells containing fluorescent holo-subunits were several times brighter than control cells as found by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. The addition of phycoerythrobilin to cells did not show cytotoxic effects, in contrast to expression of proteins in inclusion bodies. In an attempt to improve solubility, R-phycoerythrin apo-subunits were fused to maltose-binding protein and incubated with phycoerythrobilin both in vitro and in vivo. Highly fluorescent soluble fusion proteins containing phycoerythrobilin as the sole chromophore were formed. Fusion proteins were localized by fluorescence microscopy either throughout E. coli cells or at cell poles. Flow cytometry showed that cells containing fluorescent fusion proteins were up to 10 times brighter than control cells. Results indicate that fluorescent proteins formed by attachment of phycoerythrobilin to expressed apo-subunits of phycobiliproteins can be used as fluorescent probes for analysis of cells by microscopy and flow cytometry. A unique property of these fluorescent reporters is their utility in both properly folded (soluble) subunits and subunits aggregated in inclusion bodies.

The groundwater salinity in the Damascus Ghotta basin gradually increases, as the groundwater moves from western to south-eastern and north-eastern parts of the basin. A strong relationship exists between the Barada river and the surrounded groundwaters, mainly in terms of recharge by infiltration of surface waters. The groundwater quality in the Adra region has clearly become less saline as a result of establishment of the sewage-water-treatment station in this area since 1997. The uncommon depleted stable isotope concentrations in the vicinity of Al-Ateibeh Lake and Adra valley could be interpreted as a result of sub-flow recharge from the Cenomanian-Turonian aquifer, mostly prolonged along the Damascus Fault, which forms direct contact between this complex and the Quaternary alluvium aquifers. The extensive exploitation of water from the Cenomanian-Turonian aquifer for drinking water supply would shortly be reflected by a gradual decline of the groundwater table in the Damascus Ghotta basin. Amelioration of water quality in the Damascus basin still requires further management strategies and efforts to be taken within the forthcoming years.

These policies call for safe permanent disposal of spent fuel and high level radioactive waste (HLW) in a geological repository and for surface/subsurface land disposal of low level radioactive waste (LLW). They are directed at ensuring long term containment and isolation of waste from the environment. The paper provides an overview of the laws and responsibilities for implementing these policies. The paper also outlines a safety framework, strategies and the open public process for regulating radioactive waste disposal. While carrying out these regulatory responsibilities, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has gained significant experience in developing and implementing regulatory approaches for waste disposal and has enhanced the regulatory process through lessons learned. However, challenges remain, including: (a) making decisions in the face of technical uncertainties over long time periods; (b) developing innovative approaches to public outreach to increase public understanding and involvement in the regulatory process; and (c) knowledge management.

The experience that supported the successful site recommendation process involved a three-tiered approach. The first step involved making a highly technical case for regulatory compliance; the second involved making a broader case for safety in an Environmental Impact Statement; and the third involved producing plain language brochures, made available to the public in hard copy and on the Internet, to explain the DOE's action and its legal and scientific bases.

U.S. DOE's policy is to conduct its radiological operations in a manner that ensures the health and safety of its employees, contractors, and the public. U.S. DOE uses an annual dose limit of 100 mrem (1 mSv) with an "as low as reasonably achievable" (ALARA) process to achieve radiological protection. The primary directive for radiation protection of the public and the environment is DOE Order 5400.5. It contains requirements for the protection of the public and the environment from routine operations, including controlling and releasing property. Since the publication of Order 5400.5 in 1990, U.S. DOE has issued guidance for meeting requirements under it; Guide G 441.1-xx consolidates this guidance. DOE applies a dose constraint of 25 mrem y super(-1) (0.25 mSy y super(-1)), plus ALARA, for the release of real property, and 1 mrem y super(-1), plus ALARA, for release of personal property. Models and guidance to develop the needed documentation for release of property are easily available and user-friendly. While achieving protection of human health and the environment, U.S. DOE's dose-based release process has resulted in significant cost savings. U.S. DOE has recently adopted a management systems approach for general environmental and public protection programs. The integration of the radiation protection program into this new approach is a high priority.

The data include field measurements of specific conductance, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS) and laboratory measurements of major element chemistry, stable (super 2) H/ (super 1) H and (super 18) O/ (super 16) O isotope ratios (delta (super 2) H and delta (super 18) O) of water. Water samples were collected during 2004 and 2005. Geochemical analysis indicates that sea spray influences the major ionic composition of the downstream river. Water quality changes over the course of the river in the central Bekaa plain near the Karaoun reservoir. This area drains percolated and infiltrated water that contains relatively elevated concentrations of nitrate originating from agricultural runoff. Isotopic results for delta (super 18) O and delta (super 2) H show that the river can be divided into three main parts relative to water quality. The upper part, near the headwaters, is directly influenced by precipitation input, while the mid course of the river is influenced by input from the Litani tributaries and the effluents from man's activities. The lower reaches of the river are exposed to high evaporation. In the Karaoun reservoir, isotope enrichment with respect to the Litani river is calculated to be more than 3% in delta (super 18) O and 10% in delta (super 2) H. The groundwater in Karaoun basin is recharged by direct river infiltration and infiltration from the reservoir. The percentage of reservoir recharge varies from 28.5% to 20.7% in the groundwater system.

[Part 2 of 2] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT, VAN BUREN COUNTY, MICHIGAN (TWENTY-SEVENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 756824451; 12299-060432_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Palisades Nuclear Plant in Van Buren County, Michigan is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 27th 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, 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 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 March 24, 2011. The power station, which is located within a 432-acre site in the Covert Township on the southeastern shoreline of Lake Michigan 4.5 miles south of South Haven, is powered by a pressurized water reactor with a primary coolant system consisting of two Closed loops in which reactor coolant is circulated. Heat from the reactor is transferred to steam generators to produce high-pressure steam that is routed through a steam turbine, condensed back to water in the main condenser and pumped back to the steam generators, thus providing for an isolated secondary cooling loop. The maximum calculated capacity of the turbine generator is 865 megawatts-electric ((MW(e)) gross. Heat transfer from the main condenser is accomplished by a third cooling loop. The plant takes reactor coolant water from Lake Michigan via a pipeline extending 3,300 feet into the lake to an intake structure and potable water is taken from the South Haven Municipal Water Authority. Water is withdrawn from Lake Michigan at a rate of 98,000 gallons per minute (gpm). After evaporative losses, the plant returns 86,000 gpm to the lake. 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. Non-radioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Two 345-kilovolt transmission lines, including a 0.6-mile line connecting to the American Electric Power system and a 40-mile line extending to the Michigan Electric Transmission Company 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 cooling water from the Lake Michigan and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Releases 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 local water district system. 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's 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 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. Two 345-kilovolt transmission lines, including a 0.6-mile line connecting to the American Electric Power system and a 40-mile line extending to the Michigan Electric Transmission Company 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 cooling water from the Lake Michigan and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Releases 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 local water district system. 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's 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 Oriskany Sandstone aquifer was selected for this study because it meets many of the criteria required of a potential sequestration horizon: sufficient subsurface extent to provide for the potential sequestration of significant volumes of carbon dioxide, adequate porosity and permeability, and depths greater than 800 meters permitting carbon dioxide to be injected as a supercritical fluid. To determine the capacity of the Oriskany Sandstone aquifer to trap carbon dioxide as a soluble component, a series of experiments were conducted in natural Oriskany brine solutions. The experiments were conducted at a temperature range of 21-75 degrees Celsius and pressures from 1 to 400 bars. At these temperatures, the carbon dioxide pressure is essentially equivalent to the total pressure. The solubility experiments were conducted in a Dickson-type flexible-cell system. The Dickson-type reaction cell allows gas-saturated fluid samples to be taken into gas-tight syringes without changing in-situ conditions during sampling. Experimental results indicate an increase in carbon dioxide solubility as carbon dioxide pressure increases. The experiments also indicate a decrease in carbon dioxide solubility as temperature increases. The experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions. The calculation of the capacity of an aquifer to trap carbon dioxide as a soluble component requires the determination of the density of the carbon dioxide saturated solution at all locations within the aquifer. The capacity of the aquifer can be determined by combining the solubility of carbon dioxide along with the density, the extent of the formation, and porosity. The density of carbon dioxide saturated Oriskany brine was estimated as a function of temperature and pressure over the full range of conditions studied. The variation in density between brine with and without carbon dioxide increases as pressure increases but does not differ by more than 0.5 percent over the full range of conditions considered.

Magma essentially free of dissolved water (i.e., Dry Magma) cools during ascent and solidifies only by adiabatic expansion and conductive heat losses to the wall rock (see Fig.). The slope of the liquidus of Dry Magma relative to the steeper adiabatic cooling gradient ( approximately 0.5 degrees C/km) stalls and reverses solidification. Indigenous crystals are melted and as soon as the magma becomes superheated vigorous thermal convection ensues (e.g., Marsh, 1989; Hort et al., 1999). Thermal convection rapidly reduces the temperature to the liquidus where convection ceases and conductive losses may further drop the temperature promoting crystallization. The inevitable result is that the eruption temperature of Dry Magma will generally be near the liquidus, which is commonly observed for Hawaiian magmas and inferred for ocean ridge magmas. For magma containing significant amounts (> approximately 1 wt.%) of dissolved water (Wet Magma), the low-P liquidus and solidus have negative slopes. Magma near its liquidus temperature and saturated with water at 200 MPa, for example, will be at a temperature near or below the 1-atm solidus temperature. Isentropic ascent from a near liquidus temperature here also causes cooling, promoting solidification (e.g., Mastin and Ghiorso, 2001). Exsolving water with approach to the surface promotes rapid vesiculation leading to fragmentation and tephra production. With continued ascent the still water-saturated magma traverses the phase field and undergoes a combination of rapid crystallization and quenching, becoming a glassy highly viscous ( approximately 109 p) mass of greatly reduced mobility. This is reflected in the high effective viscosity regulating flows from cinder cones associated with wet basalt, which matches well with the rheology of dry basalt glass of Webb and Dingwell (1990). Wet basalt is explosive, but relatively immobile as lava. Dry Magma is not explosive, but highly mobile as lava. [The views expressed herein are the authors'.

In this study, we examined the distribution of iron, manganese and trace elements in discharge downstream of one abandoned mine portal and after its entry into Lamberts Run. Construction of a wetland and passive treatment system is slated to begin along this discharge in summer 2006. Dissolved iron and manganese, which were present in the mine discharge at concentrations of 7 and 6 mg/L, respectively, demonstrated sequential precipitation over the approximately 200-m distance between the mine portal and creek. Significant loss of manganese from the water and net accumulation in the sediments was not observed until 100 m downstream of the portal. Trace elements Ba, Co, Cr, Ni and Zn were detected in water, sediment and black coatings on stream cobbles in Lamberts Run. The trace elements are progressively enriched, relative to iron and manganese, respectively through those media. The coatings contained over 55,000 mg/kg manganese and high concentrations of the trace elements. Selenium was at or below the detection limit in water and sediments but substantially enriched in the black coatings (72 mg/kg). Diffusive equilibration in thin film (DET) and redox gel probes were used to measure sediment porewater concentrations at high resolution in the near-surface sediments.

The program works in conjunction with the private sector and the U.S. national laboratories to develop cost-effective technologies to convert coal into hydrogen. Major goals of the program are (i) demonstrate by 2015, a 60 percent efficient central station to produce hydrogen and power from coal at a cost that is 25 percent lower than current coal based technology, (ii) optimize production pathways to produce hydrogen in decentralized locations. The first approach utilizes advances in water gas shift reaction technologies and separation membranes to obtain pure hydrogen that can be used in power generation and transportation applications. The second seeks to produce hydrogen rich liquids fuels and synthetic natural gas from the products of coal gasification by 2012 at a delivered cost less than $3.00/kg of hydrogen. This presentation provides an overview of DOE hydrogen research program and its major accomplishments.

Do the math AN - 742872652; 2010-035550 AB - The United States consumes over 100 quadrillion BTUs of energy annually, including approximately 21 million barrels of oil per day, 3 million tons of coal per day, and 57 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. Any realistic proposal to displace fossil fuels from the U.S. energy diet must consider the quantities of energy required by the nation. A number of existing or emerging energy technologies and new energy sources have been proposed as alternatives to fossil fuels. These alternative sources must be vigorously pursued and encouraged. However, we must be cognizant of the scale of production required and the (sometimes unanticipated) consequences of scaling promising concepts into substantial production. A whole-systems approach must be used to assess the benefits, costs, and consequences of using traditional and alternative energy sources.

AN - 68863803; 16696934 AB - BNCT is a tumour cell targeted radiation therapy. Uniform targeting of heterogeneous tumours with therapeutically effective boron carriers would contribute to a therapeutic effect on all tumour cell populations and avoid radioresistant fractions. This remains an unresolved challenge. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the degree of variation in boron content delivered by boronophenylalanine (BPA), GB-10 (Na(2)(10)B(10)H(10)) and the combined administration of (BPA+GB-10) in different portions of tumour, precancerous tissue around tumour and normal pouch tissue in the hamster cheek pouch oral cancer model. Samples of different areas of tumour, precancerous tissue and normal pouch tissue were taken from tumour-bearing hamsters, 3h post-administration of i.p. BPA (15.5mg B/kg b.w.), or i.v. GB-10 (50mg B/kg b.w.), or 3h and 1.5h post-administration respectively of i.v. GB-10 (34.5mg B/b.w.) and sequential i.p. injections of BPA (total dose 31mg B/kg b.w.) given jointly. Boron content was evaluated by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The degree of homogeneity in boron targeting was assessed in terms of the coefficient of variation (V: [S.D./mean]x100) of boron values. Statistical analysis of the results was performed by one-way ANOVA and the least significant difference test. GB-10 and GB-10 plus BPA achieved respectively a statistically significant 1.8- and 3.3-fold increase in targeting homogeneity over BPA. The combined boron compound administration protocol contributes to homogeneous targeting of heterogeneous tumours and would be expected to increase therapeutic efficacy of BNCT.

According to its statutory role, the Greek Atomic Energy Commission is responsible for emergency preparedness and response in case of nuclear and radiological events, and advises the Government on the measures and interventions necessary to protect the public. In this context, the Commission participated in the Nuclear, Radiological, Biological, and Chemical Threat National Emergency Plan, specially developed for the Olympic Games, and coordinated by the Olympic Games Security Division. The objective of this paper is to share the experience gained during the organization of the Olympic Games and to present the nuclear security program implemented prior to, during, and beyond the Games, in order to prevent, detect, assess, and respond to the threat of nuclear terrorism. This program adopted a multi-area coverage of nuclear security, including physical protection of nuclear and radiological facilities, prevention of smuggling of radioactive materials through borders, prevention of dispersion of these materials into the Olympic venues, enhancement of emergency preparedness and response to radiological events, upgrading of the technical infrastructure, establishment of new procedures for assessing the threat and responding to radiological incidents, and training personnel belonging to several organizations involved in the National Emergency Response Plan. Finally, the close cooperation of Greek Authorities with the International Atomic Energy Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy, under the coordination of the Greek Atomic Energy Commission, is also discussed.

The objective of this work was to attempt using information theory measures to discriminate between different models for the same site. The Richards equation-based model HYDRUS-1D and a water budget-type model MWBUS were used to simulate one-year long observations of soil water contents and infiltration fluxes at various depths in a 1-m deep loamy Eutric Regosol in Bekkevoort, Belgium. We used the (a) metric entropy and (b) the mean information gain as information content measures, and (c) the effective measure complexity and (d) the fluctuation complexity as complexity measures. To compute the information content and complexity measures, time series of fluxes were encoded with the binary alphabet; fluxes greater (less) than the median value were encoded with one (zero). Fifty Monte Carlo simulation runs were performed with both models using hydraulic properties measured along a trench. The two models had the similar accuracy of water flux simulations. Precipitation input data demonstrated a moderate complexity and relatively high information content. Model outputs showed distinct differences in their relationships between complexity and information content. Overall, more complex simulated soil flux time series were obtained with the HYDRUS-1D model that was perceived to be conceptually more complex than the WMBUS model. An increase in the complexity of water flux time series occurred in parallel with the decrease in the information content. Using both complexity and information content measures allowed us to discriminate between the soil water models that gave the same accuracy of soil water flux estimates.

The U deposit is contained within tuff in a near vertical breccia pipe and is elliptical in horizontal cross section. Two rock sample transects on a horizontal bench which cross cuts the deposit, trending parallel to the short axis of the elliptical ore body and away from the deposit, were used to assess chemical alteration. A meter square grid on the bench was used to locate the samples with respect to the ore body. Whole rock chemical analyses, including major, trace, sulfur, and rare earth elements; petrography; contact gamma measurements; and X-ray diffraction results constrain chemical alteration and elemental mobility. X-ray diffraction results and gamma measurements indicate that the center of the ore body is acid-altered (presence of alunite and jarosite), S rich and relatively low in U. Uranium and other trace elements are enriched at the outer edge of the deposit. Unaltered tuff collected away from the deposit was used to determine element enrichment and depletion ratios (sample/unaltered concentrations). In the center of the deposit, depletion ratios are observed for--in decreasing order of depletion--Rb (0.16), Na, K, Y, Zn, Ca, and Mg (0.6), while enrichment ratios are noted for--in increasing order--Fe (< 2), Cu, Ba, Sc, V, Sr, U, and S ( approximately 20). In the outer portion of the deposit Mg and the alkali elements are depleted, with the level of depletion decreasing in the order Mg, (0.19), Na, Rb, and K, while enrichment ratios increase in the order Sc (1.05), Y, Ca, S, Sr, Ba, Zn, V, Cu, Fe, and U ( approximately 700). Rare earth elements are marginally enriched or depleted (less than a factor of two) throughout the deposit. These relationships may reflect a sequence of primary uraninite and pyrite mineralization followed by remobilization from the center of the ore body by oxidizing and acidic fluids.

Power plants in the U.S., led by Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Alabama, collectively emitted over 90,000 pounds of mercury into the air in 2003. Calls for increased mercury monitoring activities have come from many groups concerned with environmental contamination and mercury bioconcentration in fish. Additionally, the benefits of improvements in the reduction of mercury emissions from existing power plants cannot be seriously evaluated without extensive monitoring of the environment. Low in situ mercury concentrations and the expense of traditional laboratory analyses currently limit such routine and effective monitoring. Microbial biosensors sensitive to mercury have been developed that quantitatively produce light in response to the amount of mercury (II) entering the cells. However, these sensors are typically difficult to prepare, can have long lag times between initial exposure and subsequent light emission, and are difficult to use in the field. Whole cell biosensors using living bacteria also require attention to the growth requirements of the cells, as well as complications brought on by the presence of other toxic compounds in addition to mercury. A "molecular beacon" sensor for mercury (II) reported by Ono and Togashi (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2004, 43:4300-4302.) was modified to enhance its sensitivity and fluorescence response. The basic detection method involves the selective binding of mercury ions to thymine-thymine (T-T) base pairs in DNA duplexes. An oligonucleotide sequence in the sensor changes its conformation upon binding with mercury ions, and causes a fluorophore at one end of the oligonucleotide sequence to come in proximity with a quencher molecule attached to the other end. Enhanced fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) results in a decrease in the intensity of the fluorescence spectrum. The use of fluorescein as a harvester fluorophore and alternative emitter fluorophores dramatically increased the sensitivity of the sensor. The fluorescence spectrum generated by this sensor is analyzed using a field spectrofluorometer, and the analytical approach may be useful in environmental mercury monitoring activities.

The evaluation of potential contaminant releases to the environment needs to be considered for these facilities. Releases typically occur as small, persistent leaks that go undetected for long periods of time, creating plumes that spread until detected by monitor wells. Early detection systems are essential to minimize the spread of contamination. The key to early recognition of a problem is detecting the plume near the source soon after release. Unfortunately, near the source plumes are often thin and difficult to detect due to short transport distances that limit mixing. As the plume migrates from the facility, it spreads making it more likely to be detected by monitoring wells. The difficulty in locating monitor wells is compounded by uncertainty and the variability of groundwater flow and contaminant transport in the subsurface. An active system that continuously pumps water from one or more monitor wells near the facility is proposed and evaluated with modeling. A pumping monitor well creates a large capture zone, both vertically and horizontally, increasing the likelihood of capture and detection. The principal contaminants of concern at nuclear facilities are radionuclides, which can be detected at low concentrations, minimizing the concern of dilution due to pumping. Early detection of mobile contaminants through pumping could allow problems to be identified and mitigated, minimizing efforts associated with remediating a large plume of multiple contaminants. The benefit of an active system is demonstrated by modeling results of a tritium plume emanating from the high flux beam reactor (HFBR) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Data and background information on the HFBR tritium plume were generously provided by Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Department of Energy.

The overall strategy involves a structured approach beginning with a detailed analysis of site data and local to regional geologic setting and history; development of a detailed conceptual site model (CSM) integrating geological, geophysical and hydrological data, and computer simulation of flow and transport for this model. This strategy will identify specific locations and times where monitoring is needed. We are currently testing parts of the strategy with field data from the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Amargosa Desert Research Site (ADRS) (http://nevada.usgs.gov/adrs/.) Numerical simulation of tritium migration at the ADRS (Mayers et al., 2005, doi:10.2136/vzj2004.0179) proposed a vertical transport path together with diffusion along gravel layers, but none of these simulations were able to reproduce the observed tritium profiles. Our analysis uses electrical resistivity soundings in and near the ADRS as published by Bisdorf, 2002 (USGS Open-File Report 02-0140), to constrain a CSM with a fault for the ADRS area. We believe this model supplies the needed vertical pathway referred to in Mayer, op. cit., and also explains a steep gradient in the water table map as published by Walvoord, et al., 2004 (doi:10.1029/2004WR003599). This analysis illustrates the importance of developing an integrated CSM for waste site selection, and monitoring network design. The observed vertical and lateral migration of tritium at the ADRS seems to be strongly influenced by geologic structures that were unknown prior to the USGS research efforts. These structural controls should be the focus of future monitoring design. Data from the ADRS were provided through the courtesy of Brian J. Andraski (USGS ADRS Coordinator, Carson City, Nevada) and David A. Stonestrom (USGS National Research Program, Menlo Park, California). Their assistance is gratefully acknowledged.

AN - 50467949; 2009-034595 AB - In the face of regional droughts and increasing conflicts over fresh water supplies, it is becoming increasingly obvious that the U.S. does not know how much water we have nor how much water we need on a variety of scales. Without knowledge of ground water and surface water supplies, and how they change over time, water managers cannot know whether supplies will be adequate to meet critical needs over the coming decades. Despite substantial investments in water quality and quantity monitoring by local, regional, and national agencies and institutions, the U.S. has no comprehensive view of fresh water supply and demand within its major watersheds. Just as it is critical to the Nation to have current information on population, economic activity, agriculture, energy, and public health, it is also critical to know the status of our fresh water resources over time. In partnership with state, regional, and local water agencies, Federal agencies may devise an interagency national strategy for conducting a National Water Census; that is, a periodic inventory of the nation's surface water, groundwater, and water quality. Such a census would require us to develop and adopt data collection, data communication, and data availability standards and protocols for all surface water, groundwater, and water quality measuring and monitoring systems nationwide. A census would integrate existing water monitoring networks to provide uniform water measurements nationwide, and would develop a strategy to establish regional and national priorities for the highest level needs for surface and groundwater monitoring in the U.S.. Such a water census might also include implementation of the National Water Quality Monitoring System.

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and digital elevation maps (DEM) were used to locate and quantify subsurface flow where water appears to have converged into discrete subsurface pathways. In this study, the GPR protocol was extended to a 3.2-ha corn-production field which drains into a first-order stream. Soil moisture and yield patterns within the production field as well as nitrate base-flow concentrations in the neighboring first-order stream were monitored to confirm the extent of the subsurface-flow pathways. Over 9,000 soil-water content readings were analyzed daily using moisture capacitance probes for three growing seasons while corn grain production was collected using a GPS-based crop-yield monitor. Soil-water contents and yield were averaged over three spatial zones (0-5 m, 5-10 m, and 10-15 m) representing increased distances from the GPR-identified flow pathways. Results show that the spatially-averaged yields during a drought year decreased with increasing distance from the GPR-identified subsurface-flow pathways. In addition, spatially-averaged, soil-water contents for three consecutive growing seasons demonstrated a consistent decrease in soil-water content with increasing distance from the GPR-identified subsurface-flow pathways. In addition, nitrate concentrations and nitrate fluxes in the first-order stream increased with increasing base-flows supporting the conceptual model of discrete pathways draining into the riparian area. This research suggests that subsurface flow pathways exist and can have a dramatic impact on production as well as the quality of water exiting land with this climate and soil morphology.

Precipitation data has been collected from a number of Yucca Mountain Project (YMP) meteorological stations for the past 10 to 20 years and used in conjunction with data from nearby meteorological stations as input to models for estimating net infiltration for the modern climate in the performance assessments. Because the characteristics of past and potential future climates are often scaled to present-day or Holocene climate, the question arises, do the measured data reflect a representative modern climate covering the Holocene Epoch? The climate at Yucca Mountain is believed to have been generally hot and dry for the past 8,000 to 11,000 years covering the Holocene Epoch, before which was a period of glacial transition when the climate was cooler and wetter. For longer periods, climate records have been developed based on correlations to Earth's orbital patterns (the Milankovitch cycle) and analog data based on isotopes and fossil records. The longer paleoclimatic records are not considered further here. The focus of this analysis is to assess the overlap of (i) short-term 10- to 20-yr YMP meteorological records, (ii) 50- to 100-yr records from meteorological stations in the surrounding areas of Nevada and California, and (iii) 8000-yr records supported by tree-ring data collected in the nearby White Mountains. The 1990s decade was a period of prominent El Nino influence, which results in greatly enhanced winter precipitation in southern Nevada. Thus, the belief exists that the 1990s was a wet decade, which might bias averages from the 10- to 20-yr records from YMP meteorological stations. Average precipitation values for the past 10 to 20 years and for the entire record were calculated from regional 50- to 100-yr meteorological stations. Mean annual precipitation over the past two decades is generally consistent with averages from the entire 50- to 100-yr records, although the differences (positive and negative) in averages are highly variable between stations. Records from regional meteorological stations over the past 50 to 100 years coincide with a period of decreased tree-ring width, which implies a period of decreased precipitation. Based on a short period of overlap with meteorological stations, a mapping of tree-ring width to precipitation magnitude is provided. Other supporting data for the tree-ring interpretation are explored (e.g., bioturbation indices from Pacific Coast marine sediments). The uncertainty of a quantitative estimate of a representative Holocene annual precipitation value to use in performance assessments is discussed. This is an independent product of the CNWRA and does not necessarily reflect the views of regulatory positions of the NRC. 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.

The capsid of bacteriophage T4 is composed of the major capsid protein gp23, and a minor capsid protein gp24, which is arranged as pentamers at the vertices of the capsid. In this study the T4 capsid protein gp24 and its mutant forms were overexpressed and purified to homogeneity. The overexpression from plasmid vectors of all the constructs in Escherichia coli yields biologically active protein in vivo as determined by assembly of active virus following infection with inactivated gene 24 mutant viruses. The gp24 mutant was subjected to surface entropy reduction by mutagenesis and reductive alkylation in order to improve its crystallization properties and diffraction quality. To determine if surface mutagenesis targeting would result in diffractable crystals, two glutamate to alanine mutations (E89A,E90A) were introduced. We report here the biochemical observations and consequent mutagenesis experiment that resulted in improvements in the stability, crystallizability and crystal quality of gp24 without affecting the overall folding. Rational modification of the protein surface to achieve crystallization appears promising for improving crystallization behavior and crystal diffracting qualities. The crystal of gp24(E89A,E90A) diffracted to 2.6 Aa resolution compared to wild-type gp24 at 3.80 Aa resolution under the same experimental conditions. Surface mutation proved to be a better method than reductive methylation for improving diffraction quality of the gp24 crystals.

(TWENTY-SIXTH 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: MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, MINNESOTA. (TWENTY-SIXTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 756824369; 12261-060391_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant in southern Minnesota is proposed to extend The licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 26th 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, Nuclear Management Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission have 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. The power station, which is located within in a 2,150-acre site, with approximately two miles of frontage on the north and south banks of the Mississippi River. The site lies 22 miles southeast of St Cloud and 30 miles northwest of Minneapolis/St. Paul, and the primarily agricultural project study area includes portions of Wright and Sherburne counties. The plant and its ancillary facilities, which occupy approximately 50 acres within the site, consists of primarily of one single-cycle, forced circulation, low-power density boiling water reactor designed by the General Electric Company, which also designed the turbine generator unit and its related systems. Monticello was designed for operation at power levels up to 1,670 megawatts-thermal (MW(t)) and generation levels up to 545 MW-electric (MW(e)). However, an upgrade license amendment was approved in 1998, providing for a current rated thermal output of 1,775 MW(t) and an electrical output of 600 MW(e). The reactor containment structure consists a drywell enclosing The reactor vessel and recirculation pumps, a pressure suppression chamber serving to store a large volume of water, a connecting vent system between The drywell and The suppression chamber, and isolation valves. The reactor is served by a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to The Mississippi River. A steam generator is 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. Non-radioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. The 44.1-mile Monticello-Coon Creek 345-kilovolt transmission line and The 13.3-mile Monticello-Parker Lake 345-kilovolt transmission line connects The station to The regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of The license, which is The preferred alternative, 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 Mississippi River 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 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.

(TWENTY-SIXTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36347526; 12261 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant in southern Minnesota is proposed to extend The licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 26th 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, Nuclear Management Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission have 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. The power station, which is located within in a 2,150-acre site, with approximately two miles of frontage on the north and south banks of the Mississippi River. The site lies 22 miles southeast of St Cloud and 30 miles northwest of Minneapolis/St. Paul, and the primarily agricultural project study area includes portions of Wright and Sherburne counties. The plant and its ancillary facilities, which occupy approximately 50 acres within the site, consists of primarily of one single-cycle, forced circulation, low-power density boiling water reactor designed by the General Electric Company, which also designed the turbine generator unit and its related systems. Monticello was designed for operation at power levels up to 1,670 megawatts-thermal (MW(t)) and generation levels up to 545 MW-electric (MW(e)). However, an upgrade license amendment was approved in 1998, providing for a current rated thermal output of 1,775 MW(t) and an electrical output of 600 MW(e). The reactor containment structure consists a drywell enclosing The reactor vessel and recirculation pumps, a pressure suppression chamber serving to store a large volume of water, a connecting vent system between The drywell and The suppression chamber, and isolation valves. The reactor is served by a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to The Mississippi River. A steam generator is 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. Non-radioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. The 44.1-mile Monticello-Coon Creek 345-kilovolt transmission line and The 13.3-mile Monticello-Parker Lake 345-kilovolt transmission line connects The station to The regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of The license, which is The preferred alternative, 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 Mississippi River 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 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 radionuclide's 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 - 68903430; 17007115 AB - Methods for removing mercury from flue gas have received increased attention because of recent limitations placed on mercury emissions from coal-fired utility boilers by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency and various states. A promising method for mercury removal is catalytic oxidation of elemental mercury (Hg0) to oxidized mercury (Hg2+), followed by wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD). FGD cannot remove Hg0, but easily removes Hg2+ because of its solubility in water. To date, research has focused on three broad catalyst areas: selective catalytic reduction catalysts, carbon-based materials, and metals and metal oxides. We review published results for each type of catalyst and also present a discussion on the possible reaction mechanisms in each case. One of the major sources of uncertainty in understanding catalytic mercury oxidation is a lack of knowledge of the reaction mechanisms and kinetics. Thus, we propose that future research in this area should focus on two major aspects: determining the reaction mechanism and kinetics and searching for more cost-effective catalyst and support materials.

7039333 AB - Infectious diseases account for a quarter of all human mortality and a similar fraction of morbidity. Infectious diseases of crops and livestock cost the global economy uncounted billions of euros every year. On top of this, sudden epidemics of infectious diseases can deliver humanitarian and economic shocks on a scale difficult to absorb. According to the World Bank, the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic, which killed fewer then 1000 people, was responsible for an estimated 2% fall in gross domestic product (GDP) across East Asia, and an influenza pandemic could kill millions of people and cost [Euro]700 billion (U.S. $900 billion) globally in a single year. In recent years, there have been numerous outbreaks of livestock and crop diseases costing individual countries billions of euros, for example, foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in Taiwan and the United Kingdom; bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in the United Kingdom; classical swine fever (CSF) in the Netherlands; soybean rust in Brazil; Southern corn leaf blight in the United States; and, most recently, avian influenza in Egypt. The United Nations Millennium Development Goals, as well as having explicit targets for reducing the burden of human diseases (particularly HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria), also have targets for reducing poverty and hunger, but these are compromised by crop and livestock diseases. In most developing regions, where the impacts of infectious disease are greatest, there is now little hope of meeting any of the Millennium Development Goals by 2015.

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) mass, gas-phase volatile organic material (VOM), particulate semivolatile and nonvolatile organic material (NVOM), and ammonium sulfate were apportioned at the two sites into their primary and secondary contributions using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency UNMIX 2.3 multivariate receptor modeling and analysis software. A portion of each of these species was identified as originating from gasoline and diesel primary mobile sources. Some of the organic material was formed from local secondary transformation processes, whereas the great majority of the secondary sulfate was associated with regional transformation contributions. The results indicated that the diurnal patterns of secondary gas-phase VOM and particulate semivolatile and NVOM were not correlated with secondary ammonium sulfate contributions but were associated with separate formation pathways. These findings are consistent with the bulk of the secondary ammonium sulfate in the Pittsburgh area being the result of contributions from distant transport and, thus, decoupled from local activity involving organic pollutants in the metropolitan area.

In the present study, fluid flows through a rock fracture were simulated. The fracture geometry was obtained from the CT scans of a rock fracture produced by the Brazilian method in a sandstone sample. A post-processing code using a CAD package was developed and used to generate the three-dimensional fracture from the CT scan data. Several sections along the fracture were considered and the Gambit(TM) code was used to generate unstructured grids for flow simulations. FLUENT(TM) was used to analyze the flow conditions through the fracture section for different flow rates. Because of the small aperture of the fractures, the gravitational effects could be neglected. It was confirmed that the pressure drop was dominated by the smallest aperture passages of the fracture. The accuracy of parallel plate models for estimating the pressure drops through fractures was studied. It was shown that the parallel plate flow model with the use of an appropriate effective fracture aperture and inclusion of the tortuosity factor could provide reasonable estimates for pressure drops in the fracture. On the basis of the CFD simulation data, a new expression for the friction factor for flows through fractures was developed. The new model predictions were compared with the simulation results and favorable agreement was found. It was shown that when the length of the fracture and the mean and standard deviation of the fracture are known, the pressure loss as a function of the flow rate could be estimated. These findings may prove useful for design of lab experiments, computational studied of flows through real rock fractures, or inclusions in simulators for large-scale flows in highly fractured rocks.

The DOE FE fuel cells program has three aspects: the Solid State Energy Conversion Alliance (SECA), Fuel Cell Coal Based Systems for central power, and the High Temperature Electrochemistry Center (HiTEC). The SECA goal is to decrease SOFC system cos to US$ 400 per kilowatt (kW) by 2010 for stationary markets. DOE FE is ultimately concerned with coal-based central power plants such as FutureGen. The goal is to aggregate SECA-type fuel cells into larger systems and to produce a very high efficiency megawatt-class FCT hybrid for testing at FutureGen. The low-cost US$ 400 kW super(-1) SECA FCT hybrid is a key component to achieving 60% efficiency by 2020. Advanced aspects of solid oxide technology are part of HiTEC R&D. Technical progress and advances are discussed for all three program aspects.

However, therapy requires that HSCs be stored at cryogenic temperatures to retain the cells ability to proliferate. Currently, cells are stored in polymeric blood bags that are subject to fracture at the extremely low storage temperatures, which leads to cell contamination, thereby reducing their effectiveness. Therefore, we have developed an analytical model to predict the accumulation of stresses that ultimately lead to crack initiation and bag fracture during cryogenic storage. Our model gives explicit relationships between stress state in the container and thermoelastic properties of the container material, container geometry, and environmental factors that include temperature of the system and pressure induced by excess gas evolving from the stored medium. Predictions based on the model are consistent with experimental observations of bag failures that occurred during cryogenic storage applications. Finally, the model can provide guidance in material selection and bag design to fabricate bags that will be less susceptible to fracture.

Previous reports have suggested that arterial injury activates complement which amplifies inflammatory responses that may initiate and sustain neointimal hyperplasia. The effects of rapamycin on complement-induced expression of intracellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs) were examined in porcine arterial endothelial cell (PAEC) line that was transformed with large T antigen. Porcine complement was activated by treating sera with zymosan (PO ZYM) to generate C5b-9. C5b-9 binds to PAEC in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. PO ZYM-induced expression of ICAMs was maximally induced by 18 h. Rapamycin reduced the expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM) and P-selectin in a concentration-dependent manner. Adhesion of monocytes was reduced by rapamycin and the inhibition was prevented by antibodies to vascular cell adhesion molecule, P-selectin and endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule (ELAM). In summary, inhibition of the mammalian target of rapamycin down regulates complement-induced ICAMs expression which may modulate inflammatory responses that follow stent implant-induced restenosis during percutanous coronary interventions.

The surface of jute is pretreated with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) before composite fabrication. From the analysis of neutron transmission profile measurement, a negligible amount of water absorption is observed in both Biopol+ and its composite. It has also been observed that water absorption behavior in Biopol+ is less than that in its composites.

AN - 68845896; 16967568 AB - We report on the variability in imaging system performance due to oblique x-ray incidence, and the associated transport of quanta (both x rays and optical photons) through the phosphor, in columnar indirect digital detectors. The analysis uses MANTIS, a combined x-ray, electron, and optical Monte Carlo transport code freely available. We describe the main features of the simulation method and provide some validation of the phosphor screen models considered in this work. We report x-ray and electron three-dimensional energy deposition distributions and point-response functions (PRFs), including optical spread in columnar phosphor screens of thickness 100 and 500 microm, for 19, 39, 59, and 79 keV monoenergetic x-ray beams incident at 0 degrees, 10 degrees, and 15 degrees. In addition, we present pulse-height spectra for the same phosphor thickness, x-ray energies, and angles of incidence. Our results suggest that the PRF due to the phosphor blur is highly nonsymmetrical, and that the resolution properties of a columnar screen in a tomographic, or tomosynthetic imaging system varies significantly with the angle of x-ray incidence. Moreover, we find that the noise due to the variability in the number of light photons detected per primary x-ray interaction, summarized in the information or Swank factor, is somewhat independent of thickness and incidence angle of the x-ray beam. Our results also suggest that the anisotropy in the PRF is not less in screens with absorptive backings, while the noise introduced by variations in the gain and optical transport is larger. Predictions from MANTIS, after additional validation, can provide the needed understanding of the extent of such variations, and eventually, lead to the incorporation of the changes in imaging performance with incidence angle into the reconstruction algorithms for volumetric x-ray imaging systems.

AN - 68707035; 16881740 AB - The hypothesis of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) research has been that the short-range, high-linear energy transfer radiation produced by the capture of thermal neutrons by (10)B will potentially control tumor and spare normal tissue only if the boron compound selectively targets tumor tissue within the treatment volume. In a previous in vivo study of low-dose BNCT mediated by GB-10 (Na(2)(10)B(10)H(10)) alone or combined with boronophenylalanine (BPA) in the hamster cheek pouch oral cancer model that was primarily designed to evaluate safety and feasibility, we showed therapeutic effects but no associated normal tissue radiotoxicity. In the present study, we evaluated the response of tumor, precancerous and normal tissue to high-dose BNCT mediated by GB-10 alone or combined with BPA. Despite the fact that GB-10 does not target hamster cheek pouch tumors selectively, GB-10-BNCT induced a 70% overall tumor response with no damage to normal tissue. (GB-10+BPA)-BNCT induced a 93% overall tumor response with no normal tissue radiotoxicity. Light microscope analysis showed that GB-10-BNCT selectively damages tumor blood vessels, sparing precancerous and normal tissue vessels. In this case, selective tumor lethality would thus result from selective blood vessel damage rather than from selective uptake of the boron compound.

This process includes a carbonation reaction utilizing a brine solution and CO sub(2) as reactants under mild reaction conditions. CaO rich fly ashes are added to increase the pH level of the reactant brine, maximizing the reaction efficiency of the carbonation reaction. Furthermore, these materials can also provide a source of Ca in addition to the Ca present in the brine for carbonation. The calcium from fly ashes and brine both contribute to the formation of calcium carbonate during the carbonation reaction.

The release of metal ions from fly ash was related to the pH of the leachant solution and to the alkalinity of the ash. The maximum soluble concentration of the metallic elements was measured when the pH of the leachate was less than 5. Twenty-three of the samples were strongly alkaline and buffered the leachate until the ash was neutralized. The leachate from the other 13 samples became acidic with the addition of less than 1 L of 0.1 N acid. The alkalinity of the ash and the volume of acid required to neutralize it were a function of the Ca concentration.

[Part 1 of 2] T2 - EARLY SITE PERMIT AT THE EXELON ESP SITE, CLINTON POWER STATION, DEWITT COUNTY, ILLINOIS. AN - 873125164; 12190-0_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 sitting 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 final 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 are developed on the ESP, the radiological hazards associated with the plant would be increased somewhat.

Preparation date: July 26, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - EARLY SITE PERMIT AT THE EXELON ESP SITE, CLINTON POWER STATION, DEWITT COUNTY, ILLINOIS. AN - 36342611; 12190 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance to Exelon Generation Company, LLC, of an early site permit (ESP) for a location 461-acre tract identified for the sitting 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 final 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 are developed on the ESP, the radiological hazards associated with the plant would be increased somewhat.

AN - 36345983; 12147 AB - PURPOSE: The continuation of operations at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, Los Alamos County, New Mexico is proposed. LANL occupied 40 square miles of land on the eastern flank of the Jemez Mountains along the Pajarito Plateau. The study area consists of all land and other resources within 50 miles of LANL. The LANL assists in the Department of Energy's (DOE) need to continue to ensure a safe and reliable nuclear stockpile. For the foreseeable future, DOE will need to continue its nuclear weapons research and development, surveillance, computational analysis, components manufacturing, and non-nuclear aboveground experimentation. Currently, many of these activities are conducted solely at LANL; hence, ceasing these activities would run counter to national security policy as established by Congress. The plan under consideration would direct the operations at LANL for the next five years, after which funding and further congressional legislation will provide the necessary impulse for further planning. Existing LANL operations and capabilities to be maintained would include those related to the Center for Weapons Physics Research Project, Replacement Office Buildings Project, Radiological Sciences Institute Project, Radioactive Liquid Waste Treatment Facility Upgrade Project, Los Alamos Neutron Science Center refurbishment Project, TA-55 Radiography Facility Project, Plutonium Facility Complex Refurbishment Project, Science Complex Project, and Remote Warehouse and Truck Inspection Station Project. Projects to be subject to closure and remediation actions, including consent order actions, would include the TA-18 Closure Project, TA-21 Structure and Decontamination, Decommissioning, and Demolition Project, Waste Management Facilities Transition Project; Major Material Disposal Area Remediation, and Canyon Cleanups and Other Compliance Order Actions. Projects associated with new infrastructure or levels of operation would include the Security-Driven Modifications Project, Nicholas C. Metropolis Center for Modeling and Simulation Operations Level Increase Project, and the Increase in the Type and Quantity of Sealed Sources Managed at LANL by the Off-site Source Recovery Project. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would continue operations at LANL at current levels, are considered in this draft statewide EIS. The preferred alternative would involve expanding operations at LANL to the highest foreseeable level, including full implementation of the mission assignments. Approximately 770 acres of land would be subject to conveyance and transfer. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mission continuation at LANL would ensure the country of the continued support of the nuclear weapons stockpile and continued nuclear weapons research, protecting the United States against nuclear and other threats by foreign powers and terrorist organizations. Construction and operations at LANL would provide local, regional and national employment opportunities and generally boost the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Analyses indicate little difference in the environmental impacts across alternatives for many resource areas. The primary discriminators are public risk due to radiation exposure, collective worker risk due to radiation exposure, socioeconomic effects due to LANL employment changes, electrical power and water demand, waste management, and transportation. Development could occur on up to 864.6 acres, resulting in possible introduction of incompatible land uses and probably losses of recreational opportunity. Power grid upgrades would affect an additional 473 acres. Removal of flood retention structures could result in impacts to the Pajarito floodplains.

Preparation date: July 7, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - EARLY SITE PERMIT AT THE NORTH ANNA SITE, LAKE ANNA, VIRGINIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 2004). AN - 36345754; 12159 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a early site permit (ESP) for the North Anna Power Station (NAPS), on Lake Anna, Louisa County, Virginia is proposed in a preliminary EIS of January 2004. Approval of the permit would allow the applicant, Dominion Nuclear North Anna, LLC (Dominion), to develop a site within the existing North Anna Power Station for the construction and operation of new nuclear power generating facilities. This draft supplemental EIS amends the ESP application to request the implementation of a new approach for cooling the Unit 3 reactor. Under the new approach, Unit 3 would use a closed-cycle cooling system rather than the originally proposed once-trough cooling system. The newly proposed cooling system would not use the 3,400-acrewaste heat treatment facility for cooling. Dominion also proposes to increase the power level of both unit 3 and Unit 4 from 4,300 megawatts-thermal (MW(t)) to 4,500 megawatts(t). The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's analysis The proposed action does not constitute any decision or approval to construct or operate one or more units; 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 the 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 non-radioactive waste management, radiological and non-radiological health imp[acts, fuel cycle, transportation, of nuclear fuels and radioactive wastes, and decommissioning, and use of light-water reactors vs. gas-cooled creators. Alternative sites considered in the draft EIS include the Savannah River site 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 preliminary 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 wand 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 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.

We report here that a kit method previously devised for purification of bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) can be adapted for effective preparation of individual plasmids up to 220 kb from wild gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Individual plasmid DNA recovered from less than 10 ml of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Corynebacterium cultures was of sufficient quantity and quality for construction of high-coverage libraries, as shown by sequencing five native plasmids ranging in size from 30 kb to 94 kb. We also report recommendations for vector screening to optimize plasmid sequence assembly, preliminary annotation of novel plasmid genomes, and insights on mobile genetic element biology derived from these sequences. Adaptation of this BAC method for large plasmid isolation removes one major technical hurdle to expanding our knowledge of the natural plasmid gene pool.

Exposure assessment was performed by means of the total diet study approach as recommended by the Word Health Organization. Five 'total diets' were collected during 2003-04. Average and maximal consumer exposure estimates to heavy metals were calculated and compared with appropriate reference values and with intakes reported from other countries. The average dietary intakes of lead, cadmium and mercury represented 7, 17 and 5.6%, respectively, of the appropriate provisional tolerable weekly intakes (PTWI). The mean dietary intake of methylmercury represented 17.5% of the appropriate PTWI. Cs-134 and I-131 were not detected in any of the food samples. Traces of Cs-137 were only found in five food samples. The exposure assessment conducted places Lebanon among countries least exposed to heavy metals through the diet and it highlights the safety of the food supply from radioactive contamination.

A faster, better way to scientific progress? AN - 57680581; 439405 AB - Discusses the issues involved in the diffusion of scientific knowledge and information and its importance to the US Government which spends large sums annually in supporting scientific and technical research and development. Describes research being conducted into these issues by the Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) of the United States Department of Energy (DOE) under its strategic initiative, Innovations in Scientific Knowledge and Advancement (ISKA). The findings were: that diffusion of scientific knowledge is not a major research area; that a number of communities are actively engaged in scientific research on topics that are closely related to the diffusion of scientific knowledge; that conceptual complexity is an obstacle to broad scientific search; that a coherent programme of research into the diffusion of scientific knowledge and its relation to scientific progress does not seem to exist at this time; and that semantic tools are needed to facilitate full text search of scientific information, as a means for speeding up diffusion. Concludes that there are three strategies to improve the understanding and promotion of the advancement of science: developing the conceptual framework to understand scientific knowledge diffusion and clarification of concepts so that the diffusion of scientific knowledge corollary can be proven; investigating the body of knowledge that exists, identifying gaps, and defining areas of research; and promoting the development of tools for global discovery that should be tested for the impact on the advancement of search and enabling of global discovery.

AN - 36340489; 12117 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station adjacent to Barnegat Bay in Ocean County of eastern New Jersey is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 28th 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, AmerGen Energy 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 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 April 9, 2009. The power station, which is located within in a 800-acre site 35 miles north of Atlantic City and 50 miles east of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, consists of one unit boiling-water reactor designed by General Electric and featuring Mark I containment. The unit produces a reactor core power of 1,930 megawatts-thermal, with a net electrical capacity of 640 megawatts-electric that uses a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Barnegat Bay through the lower reaches of the Forked River. Heated cooling water is discharged to Oyster Creek, which flows back into the Bay. The reactor, which was placed in service in December 1969, 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. Power transmission from the facility depends on the local 230-kilovolt transmission system consisting of two transmission lines, extending a total of 25.1 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 Barnegat Bay and deliver makeup water back to the bay. Release of water to the bay 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 bay as well. 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.

S. Department of Energy. The particle used in this study was a coarse, light material, cork, which has a particle density of 189 kg/m super(3) and a mean diameter of 812 mu m. Fluidizing this material in ambient air approximates the same gas-solids density ratio as coal and coal char in a pressurized gasifier. The purpose of this study is twofold. First, this study is to provide a better understanding on the fundamentals of flow regimes and their transitions. The second purpose of this study is to generate reliable data to validate the mathematical models, which are currently under development at NETL. Utilization of such coarse, light material can greatly facilitate the computation of these mathematical models. Furthermore, the ratio of density of cork to air under ambient conditions is similar to the density ratio of coal to gas at the gasification and pressurized fluidized bed combustion environment. This paper presents and discusses the data, which covered operating flow regime from dilute phase, fast fluidization, and to dense phase transport by varying the solid flux, G sub(s) at a constant gas velocity, U sub(g). Data are presented by mapping the flow regime for coarse cork particles in a Delta P/ Delta L-G sub(S)-U sub(g) plot. The coarse cork particles exhibited different behavior than the published literature measurements on heavier materials such as alumina, sand, FCC, silica gel, etc. A stable operation can be obtained at a fixed riser gas velocity higher than the transport velocity, e.g., at U sub(g)=3.2 m/s, even though the riser is operated within the fast fiuidization flow regime. Depending upon the solids influx, the riser can also be operated at dilute phase or dense phase flow regimes. Experimental data were compared to empirical correlations in published literature for flow regime boundaries as well as solids fractions in the upper dilute and the lower dense regions for fast fluidization flow regime. Comparisons of measured data with these empirical correlations show rather poor agreements. These discrepancies, however, are not surprising since the correlations for these transitions were derived from experimental data of comparative heavier materials such as sands, FCC, iron ore, alumina, etc. JF - Journal of Energy Resources Technology.

To date, all substrates have measured only one caspase activity. Here, we describe a FRET-based probe for simultaneously measuring two distinct caspase activities in living cells. Methods: This probe consists of a CFP-YFP-mRFP fusion protein containing a caspase-3-cleavage motif, DEVD, between CFP and YFP, and a caspase-6-cleavage site, VEID, between YFP and mRFP. DEVDase and VEIDase activities could be assessed simultaneously by monitoring diminished FRET mediated by cleavage of either or both of these protease cleavage sites using flow cytometry. Results: DEVDase and VEIDase activities were completely inhibited by the pan-caspase inhibitor z-VAD-fmk and enhanced by DNA-damaging drugs or by anti-Fas stimulation. DEVD and VEID cleavage specificities were validated by using caspase-3-deficient MCF7-Fas cells and a caspase-6-specific inhibitor. Kinetic analysis with the FRET probe revealed that caspase-3 activation consistently preceded caspase-6 by 30 min following induction of apoptosis. Conclusions: We have developed a novel FRET-based probe for simultaneous detection of two caspase activities in living cells using flow cytometry. Simultaneous detection of two caspase activities using this probe has clearly provided information of the ordering of caspase-3 and -6 in the apoptotic pathway.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small RNAs that assist in translationally repressing mRNAs with regions of partial complementarity, but may also reduce transcript levels. Since miRNAs predominantly interact with the 3' UTRs of transcripts, we sought to ask if mismatched siRNAs mimicking miRNAs affect cognate mRNA levels as a function of target site location. We find that mismatched siRNAs targeting the 3' UTRs of two endogenous transcripts yield a greater reduction in mRNA levels than those targeting the coding region. Our findings demonstrate the importance of target site location within endogenous mRNAs for small RNAs associated with RNAi.

Tritium is one of more important radionuclides used in nuclear industry as plutonium and uranium. In nuclear installations, chloride ions are generally produced by degradation of organic seals and oils used for tightness and pumping. Increasing chloride concentration enhances the pitting corrosion. The choice of inhibitors was dictated by their inertness to the radiolysis in low-level tritiated water. According to our results, it is feasible to treat non-negligible volume of low-level tritiated water with borate inhibitor.

The method has been improved and evaluated for its performance in the preclinical diagnosis of ovine transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. The test system uses a protocol for sample preparation that includes extraction and concentration and a test method that uses a liquid-phase competitive immunoassay for prion protein. Antibodies directed to a peptide sequence at the C-terminus of the prion protein (PrP) and a fluorescein-labeled peptide conjugate are used in the assay. Free zone capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence for detection is used to separate the antibody-bound fluorescently labeled peptide and free labeled peptide. In this assay, the PrP competes with the fluorescently labeled peptide for limited antibody binding sites, which results in a reduction of the peak representing the immunocomplex of the antibody bound to the fluorescently labeled peptide. When blood samples from scrapie-infected sheep aged 7-12 months and of the scrapie-susceptible PrP genotypes VRQ/VRQ and VRQ/ARQ were analyzed, the abnormal PrP was found in blood samples. These results correlated with the post-mortem diagnosis of scrapie. The sheep were preclinical and appeared normal at the time of testing but later died with clinical disease approximately 12 months after testing. In older animals, and those with clinical signs, a smaller percentage of animals tested positive. This study has demonstrated that this technology can be used as a sensitive, rapid preclinical test to detect the disease-associated PrP in the blood of scrapie-infected sheep. Improvements in the extraction protocol and capillary electrophoresis conditions will enhance the robustness of this test.

Clone sizes and overlaps derived from clone fingerprints are used for the calculation of length constraints between any two BAC neighbors sharing 40% of their size. These constraints are used to promote the linkage and guide the arrangement of sequence contigs within a sequence scaffold at the layout phase of WGS assemblies. This process is facilitated by FASSI, a stand-alone application that calculates BAC end and BAC overlap length constraints from clone fingerprint map contigs created by the FPC package. FASSI is designed to work with the assembly tool PCAP, but its output can be formatted to work with other WGS assembly algorithms able to use length constraints for individual clones. The FASSI method is simple to implement, potentially cost-effective, and has resulted in the increase of scaffold contiguity for both the Drosophila melanogaster and Cryptococcus gattii genomes when compared to a control assembly without map-derived constraints. A 6.5-fold coverage draft DNA sequence of the Pan troglodytes (chimpanzee) genome was assembled using map-derived constraints and resulted in a 26.1% increase in scaffold contiguity.

(TWENTY-FOURTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36345553; 12083 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 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 1,850 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 3,467 MW(t) and 1,144 MW(e). 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. 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 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.

Preparation date: May 19, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - AMERICAN CENTRIFUGE PLANT IN PIKETON, OHIO. AN - 36341211; 12061 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a license to construct, operate, and decommission the American Centrifuge Plant (ACP), a gas centrifuge uranium enrichment facility located on the Department of Energy (DOE) reservation in Piketon, Ohio is proposed. Piketon lies between Chillicothe and Portsmouth, approximately 70 miles south of Columbus, Ohio. Enrichment is the process of increasing the concentration of the naturally occurring fissionable uranium-235 isotope. Uranium ore usually contains approximately 0.72 with percent uraniu-235. In order to be useful in a nuclear power plant as fuel for electricity generation, the uranium must typically be enriched up to five weight percent. While the demand for enriched uranium rises, the supplies of enriched uranium currently required in the United States are on the decline. Foreign sources currently provide as much as 86 percent of the nation's enriched uranium needs, including 42 percent from Russia and 44 percent from other countries that produce and export enriched uranium. A supply disruption at the Paducah Plant which is the only plant operating domestically would seriously threaten the country's energy security. The ACP would enrich uranium for use in commercial fuel for power reactors. Feed material would be comprised of non-enriched uranium hexafluoride. The license applicant, USEC Inc., proposes to enrich uranium up to 10 percent by weight of uranius-235. The initial license application would provide for a facility capable of processing 3.5 million separative work units (SWU) per year. Because USEC has indicated the potential for future expansion of the facility to allow for production of 7.0 million SWU per year, the environmental review presented here addresses that volume of production capacity. The license would authorize USEC to possess and use special nuclear material, source material, and byproduct material at the ACP. The new plant would be located within the same site as the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant, which has been shut down since May 2001. Development of the ACP would involve refurbishment of existing buildings, construction of new facilities, and use the adjacent grounds owned by the DOE and leased by USEC. USEC would utilize centrifuge technology to enrich uranium-235 to 10 weight percent. Depending on the timing of the licensing process and other factors, USEC would start construction of the ACP in 2007, begin commercial centrifuge operations in 2009, and amp up to 3.5 million SWU design capacity by 201. The license would be granted for a period of 30 years. After the proposed ACP because operational, production of enriched uranium would cease at the gaseous diffusion plant in Paducah, Kentucky and be replaced by the ACP at Piketon. In addition to the promised action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative. Site preparation and construction costs are estimated at $1.5 billion between 2006 and 2010. Centrifuge manufacturing and assembly are estimated to cost $1.8 billion between 2004 and 2013. Disposal of tailings generated during the 30-year operation phase is estimated to cost 1.8 billion. Decontamination and decommissioning are estimated to cost $435 million over a period of six years, expected to begin in 2040. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The ACP would provide much of the uramium-235 necessary to generate a large portion of the 393 giga watts of new generating capacity required to meet the nation's needs by 2020. This would require an installed nuclear-generating capacity increase from 98 giga watts in 2001 to 103 giga watts in 2025, which is the equivalent of five nuclear reactors. In addition to advancing national energy security goals, the ACP plant would help accomplish the goals of the June 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement to facilitate the deployment of new cost-effective advanced enrichment technology in the U.S. on an accelerated schedule. USEC would constru8ct and operate a modern, efficient, less costly enrichment plant to supplement and replace a gaseous diffusion in moderation for more than 50 years. Gas centrifuge technology would represent a more efficient and less energy intensive uranium enrichment technology that the gaseous diffusion technology currently in use. The ACP would provide for significant local employment opportunities and otherwise contribute to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Slight impacts would result with respect to land use, historic and cultural resources, visual aesthetics, air quality, geologic and soil resources, water resources, ecological resources, socioeconomics, noise levels, transportation-related radiological hazards, occupational health and safety, and waste management. Approximately 24 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat would be lost. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.).

Understanding the contributing factors for this seepage occurrence in the ventilated tunnel will assist U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in its assessment of Department of Energy flow models. The seepage event begin in the later portion of an El Nino winter (February 2005) predominantly along a 40-m [130-ft] section of the south ramp of the ESF tunnel. The stratigraphic section at this location is comprised of a portion of the Tiva Canyon Tuff, which is a rhyolitic ignimbrite. The effect of El Nino conditions in the semi-arid climate of southern Nevada near YM is greatly increased winter precipitation. Based on the similar to 50 years of record at a nearby meteorological station, the winter of 2004-2005 was the wettest winter on record. The previous largest winter precipitation amounts were recorded in the El Nino years of 1992-1993 and 1997- 1998. During the 1997 El Nino year, a monitored set of boreholes in nearby Pagany Wash indicated that a saturated front traversed the entire Tiva Canyon Tuff section during a single event (Le Cain and Kurmack, 2002, USGS Water Resources Investigations Report 02-4035). It is unclear if the fracture system in the south ramp location was saturated in the February 2005 event; no data were available to estimate the saturated state of the fracture system. With heavy precipitation occurring throughout the winter, however, the matrix and fracture systems were likely primed (i.e., saturation levels were likely significantly higher than normal) for a significant percolation event. Ponding caused by focusing of runoff at the ground surface above seepage location in the south ramp of the ESF tunnel likely did not occur based on topographical and catchment considerations (no significant depressions or gullies). Analyses of the geological characteristics associated with the seepage location suggest the contributing factors that constrained seepage to this particular portion of the tunnel include (i) distance to the surface (i.e., similar to 60 m [200 ft]), (ii) gently dipping strata with distinct lithological contacts that may have laterally diverted water, (iii) faults and fractures, and (iv) downslope capping by rock units with different hydrological characteristics. This is an independent product of the CNWRA and does not necessarily reflect the views of regulatory positions of the NRC. 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.

It combines the selectivity of dye-labeled antibodies, the sample concentration capability of solid phase membrane filtration, and the facile readout of the concentrated, dye-labeled microorganisms by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). Details about the selection of the most effective membrane filter, detection of target bacteria in different types of liquids, and evaluation of assay specificity in screening for E. coli O157:H7 are discussed. For this pathogen, the technique has a working range of 5 x 10 super(5) to 5 x 10 super(8) cells/mL and an overall work up time of 45 min. The amount of captured bacteria is directly determined in only 2 s by using a hand-held DRS instrument via comparisons to a calibration curve based on the Kubelka-Munk function. Overall, this assay system offers high speed, simplicity, and low cost, making it a potential alternative for screening of several types of bacterial contaminated samples in almost any location.

An overview of the major findings of the second WG is presented. Information on the technical and quality standards and on the accreditation and approval procedures has been compiled. The catalogue of dosimetric services has been updated and extended. An overview of national regulations and standards for protection from radon and other natural sources in workplaces has been made, attempting to combine the results from individual monitoring for external, internal and workplace monitoring. A first status description of the active personal dosemeters, including legislative and technical information, and their implementation has been made. The importance of practical factors on the uncertainty in the dose measurement has been estimated. Even if a big progress has been made towards harmonisation, there is still work to be done.

AN - 36340418; 12021 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2, near the mouth of Cape Fear River in Brunswick County, North Carolina is proposed. is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 25th 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 operating licenses are renewed, State regulatory agencies and the applicant would decide whether the plant would continue to operate based on factors such as the need for power or other matters within the state's jurisdiction or the purview of the owners. If the licenses are not renewed, the plant must shut down at or before the expiration dates of the current operating licenses, which are September 8, 2016 and December 27, 2014 for units 1 and 2, respectively. The plant is situated on 1,200 acres of land within a site boundary encompassing 962 acres. The protected area is surrounded by a perimeter fence contains two reactor buildings and the turbine, control, radioactive waste, and diesel generator buildings. Major administrative and support facilities cover 130 acres. The units have been operating since 1974 (Unit 2) and 1976 (Unit 1). Each unit uses a boiling water reactor and a steam-driven turbine generator manufactured by General Electric, a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from the Cape Fear River Estuary and discharges water into the Atlantic Ocean via a six-mile canal leading to Caswell Beach, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. As originally installed each unit was rated at 2,436 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 821 MW-electric. In 1996, the utility obtained the permission to increase the output of each of the units to 2,558 MW-thermal. Currently, each unit has a core thermal level of 2,923 MW-thermal, with Unit 1 capable of providing 958 MW-electric and Unit 2 capable of providing 951 MW-electric. Each 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. Non-radioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Eight transmission lines, extending a total of 388 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 Cape Fear River Estuary and deliver makeup water back to the Atlantic Ocean. 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 - 16354983; 12005 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of an Early Site Permit (ESP) to Systems Energy Resources, Inc. is proposed for the development of a nuclear generating facility within the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station site boundaries in Claiborne County, Mississippi. The 2,100-acre Grand Gulf site, of which 400 acres would be set aside for development of the generator related to the ESP, is located 25 miles south of Vicksburg, six miles northwest of Port Gibson, and 37 miles north-northeast of Natchez. No specific plant design has been chosen for the one or two new units. Instead, a plant parameter envelope (PPE) was provided to provide bounds for evaluating the impacts of construction and operation of one ore more nuclear power plants at the ESP site. The PPE envisions construction and operation of various numbers of new reactors and/or modules, configured as one or more operating units and providing up to a total of 8,600 megawatts-thermal or 3,000 megawatts-electric. Final thermal power would be dependent on the reactor plant type selected for construction at later stages in the environmental review process. Waste heat would be dissipated by either mechanical draft or natural draft cooling towers. Makeup water for the cooling towers and water for other site activities would be withdrawn from the Mississippi River through an intake structure. Transmission line construction, operation, and impacts are not discussed as the applicant has decided not to outline transmission facilities related to the proposal as yet. In addition to the proposed action, this EIS addresses a No Action Alternative, alternative energy sources, system design alternatives, and alternative reactor sites. The preferred alternative would involve issuance of the ESP to the applicant for construction and operation of a nuclear at the proposed sites. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Issuance of the ESP would allow for addressing of safety and environmental issues before facilities are built, providing for opportunities for early resolution of safety and environmental issues related to the construction and operation of a nuclear generation facility. The ESP would allow the applicant to determine more specifically the feasibility of constructing and operating additional nuclear facilities at the Grand Gulf site. Power generated by such facilities would contribute to the applicant'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 145 acres of hardwood forest and 105 acres of upland field, with approximately 43 acres of forested habitat permanently lost. Transmission line upgrades and possible creation of new transmission line corridors would result in further loss of land and vegetative resources, including wildlife habitat. The plant cooling system would consume substantial amounts of water from the Mississippi River. In the event that nuclear facilities were developed on the ESP, the occupational and public radiological hazards associated with the plant would be increased somewhat.

Segmentation of fund seekers may offer the potential to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of delivery by targeting scarce resources more closely to need, thus sustaining legitimacy in the face of threats posed by scarcity and the political environment. This paper presents evidence for heterogeneity in an academic population consistent with segmentation and discusses how grant allocation managers might use this to target services and resources more effectively.

The solution and solid residue remaining after salt-roasting both were separated by filtration and were analyzed for vanadium and sulfur. The solution was analyzed by UV-vis spectroscopy and gravimetrically for vanadium and sulfur, respectively. The solid residue and the untreated samples of petroleum coke were analyzed by XRF spectrometry. Results showed that more than 90wt% of sulfur and 60wt% of vanadium could be extracted by the salt-roasting treatment. An alternative procedure has been suggested, in which, more than 80% of sulfur and a small percentage of vanadium can be leached by 0.75M of Na2CO3 solution at 70-80DGC.

Biomass is one of the technologies within NEMS, which plays a key role in several scenarios. An endogenously determined biomass supply schedule is used to derive the price-quantity relationship of biomass. There are four components to the NEMS biomass supply schedule including: agricultural residues, energy crops, forestry residues, and urban wood waste/mill residues. The EIA'S Annual Energy Outlook 2005 includes updated estimates of the agricultural residue portion of the biomass supply schedule. The changes from previous agricultural residue supply estimates include: revised assumptions concerning corn stover and wheat straw residue availabilities, inclusion of non-corn and non-wheat agricultural residues (such as barley, rice straw, and sugarcane bagasse), and the implementation of assumptions concerning increases in no-till farming. This article will discuss the impact of these changes on the supply schedule.

AN - 67680678; 16165335 AB - The dose characteristics of CT scanners from local scanning protocols were investigated on the basis of questionnaire information provided by four hospitals conducting CT procedures in Tanzania. The information included scanner model, scanner manufacturer, number of most frequent CT examinations and the employed scanning parameters to previously diagnosed patients. For each scan technique, patient doses were estimated in terms of computerized tomography dose index, dose length product and effective dose using the software developed by the ImPACT scan group in conjunction with the NRPB conversion coefficients data. The results show that the mean CTDI_w,100, DLP and effective dose ranged from 8.5 +/- 2.8 to 79.3 +/- 23.7mGy, 145 +/- 5 to 1400 +/- 812.5 mGy cm and 3 +/- 2.3 to 15.7 +/- 10.4 mSv, respectively. On average, the observed CT doses are however roughly higher than the reported literature data such as 30 to 60 mGy, 570 to 1050 mGy cm and 2.4 to 11.7 mSv recommended by European Commission for similar CT examinations. The higher dose levels, which are possibly associated with significant risks, justify extensive similar studies at the national level in order to unify different approaches towards optimisation of CT examinations. In pursue of this noble objective, the need to train the radiology personnel, establish and using protocols and continuously monitor the performance of CT equipment to control patient CT doses is of utmost importance.

However, several key issues, such as underground storage time and the fate of the injected CO (sub 2) , must be studied before this option becomes economically and socially acceptable. In the current study, a one-dimensional reactive mass-transport model was used to predict the long-term chemical behavior of a deep saline aquifer following CO (sub 2) injection, far away from the injection site and representative of basin-scale migration and long-term fate. The dissolution of the injected CO (sub 2) into brine causes a sharp drop in pH, and consequently, the acidic brine aggressively reacts with aquifer minerals. Our model also predicts the dissolution of aluminosilicate minerals with the formation of secondary minerals and the precipitation and dissolution of carbonate minerals and is consistent with laboratory-scale CO (sub 2) core-flooding experiments. However, the extent and development of reaction fronts depend on the reaction rates used. For example, our modeling results indicate that the transport of carbon can be significantly retarded with respect to the flow of the brine itself, and a significant amount of injected CO (sub 2) is immobilized because of mineral trapping. The precise locations and patterns of the carbon reactive transport are sensitive to the reaction rates used, illustrating the need for improved knowledge of reaction kinetics, particularly the in-situ rates of dissolution and precipitation of aluminosilicate minerals, in evaluating mineral trapping of CO (sub 2) in deep geological formations.

This approach revealed differences in the binding strength of the (-)-cis- and (-)-trans-benzo[a]pyrene tetrols with the anti-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon mAb and demonstrated that (+)-enantiomers are more strongly immunocomplexed than their (-)-counterparts. It is proposed that crossreactive monoclonal antibodies (i.e.mAb raised against achiral molecule and possessing limited selectivity) could be effectively utilized for specific stereoisomeric differentiation and chiral separations.

Different blends were made varying the concentration of sago starch and PVA. Tensile strength (TS) and elongation at break (Eb) of the prepared films were studied. Films made up of sago starch and PVA with a ratio of 1:2 showed the highest TS and Eb. The physico-mechanical properties of prepared films were improved by grafting with acrylic monomers with the aid of UV radiation. A series of formulations was prepared with two monomers 2-ethyl 2-hydroxymethyl 1,3 methacrylate (EHMPTMA) and 2-ethylhexylacrylate (EHA) and a photoinitiator. Monomer concentration, soaking time and radiation dose were optimized in terms of grafting and mechanical properties. The highest TS was at 50% EHMPTMA and 48% EHA and 2% photo initiator at 5min soaking time and recorded value was 6.58MPa. The prepared films were further characterized with NMR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope (SEM).

6659409 AB - Colorimetric solid-phase extraction (C-SPE) is an integrated technique in which an analyte is selectively concentrated onto a disk and then quantitated by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. This paper describes the results of an investigation that applies the concept of negligible depletion (ND) to C-SPE, representing the first application of ND concepts to solid-phase extractions. The approach relies on passing the minimal volume of sample through the disk required to reach an equilibrium in which the concentration of analyte in the sample entering and exiting the disk are equal. At this point, the amount of analyte extracted by the disk is proportional to the sample concentration but is independent of the sample volume passed through the disk. With this new method, called C-SPE/ND, the precise measurement of sample volume is no longer necessary. The work herein details the general principles of this new methodology, and validates its basic tenets in an investigation of the extraction of the organic dye methyl violet. The analytical capabilities of C- SPE/ND are then demonstrated by its application to measurements of iodine. Iodine is a biocide increasingly used as a simple and effective disinfectant for water in locations where municipal water treatment systems are potentially compromised. Thus, the ability to operate C-SPE in an ND mode notably enhances the broad-based utility of this methodology as a reliable and an easy-to-use analysis tool for water quality assessments. Since iodine is also the biocide used on NASAs Space Shuttle, C-SPE/ND has the potential to overcome problems associated with the removal of air bubbles entrapped in a water sample in the microgravity environment encountered in space exploration. Extensions of C- SPE/ND to facile determinations of other water quality parameters with respect to both earth- and space-based needs are briefly discussed.

America's economic strength and global leadership depend in large measure on our Nation's ability to generate and harness the latest in scientific and technological developments and to apply these developments to real world applications. These applications are fueled by: scientific research, which produces new ideas and new tools that can become the foundation for tomorrow's products, services, and ways of doing business; a strong education system that equips our workforce with the skills necessary to transform those ideas into goods and services that improve our lives and provide our Nation with the researchers of the future; and an environment that encourages entrepreneurship, risk taking, and innovative thinking. By giving citizens the tools necessary to realize their greatest potential, the "American Competitiveness Initiative" (ACI) will help ensure future generations have an even brighter future. The ACI commits $5.9 billion in FY 2007 to increase investments in research and development, strengthen education, and encourage entrepreneurship. Specifically, the ACI: (1) doubles, over 10 years, funding for innovation-enabling research at key Federal agencies that support high-leverage fields of physical science and engineering: the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy's Office of Science, and the National Institute for Standards and Technology within the Department of Commerce; (2) modernizes the Research and Experimentation tax credit by making it permanent and working with Congress to update its provisions to encourage additional private sector investment in innovation; (3) strengthens K-12 math and science education by enhancing our understanding of how students learn and applying that knowledge to train highly qualified teachers, develop effective curricular materials, and improve student learning; (4) reforms the workforce training system to offer training opportunities to some 800,000 workers annually, more than tripling the number trained under the current system; and (5) increases our ability to compete for and retain the best and brightest high-skilled workers from around the world by supporting comprehensive immigration reform that meets the needs of a growing economy, allows honest workers to provide for their families while respecting the law, and enhances homeland security by relieving pressure on the borders.

This paper presents the results of interpretation of seismic and well data from this structure. Based on the analysis of seismic data and their correlation with well information, seven reflecting horizons could have been identified, viz. top of the Bhuban Formation (Middle Miocene), the lower gas sand, the upper gas sand, the Bokabil Formation (Upper Miocene), the Tipam Sandstone Formation, the Girujan Clay Formation and the Dupi Tila Formation (Plio-Pleistocene). Structural analysis shows that the Beani Bazar is a N-S trending unfaulted anticlinal structure with eastern flank slightly steeper than the western one. The gas producing sands of the Beani Bazar structure belong to Bokabil Formation. The seismo-stratigraphic study of this area allows to resolve all the formations in the section.

The accuracy of a PTF outside of its development dataset is generally unknown. The existence of multiple models that are developed and tested in one region, but may perform relatively poorly in other regions, is also common in meteorology, where multimodel ensemble prediction techniques have been developed (i.e., those using an averaged prediction from several models) to address this problem. The objective of this work was to estimate the applicability of an ensemble of PTFs for water regime simulations. Measured soil water contents and pressure heads of 60 points at five depths in a 6-m transect of a layered loamy soil were collected during an extremely wet year in Belgium. Soil water fluxes were measured with passive capillary lysimeters at two depths. Water retention was measured in the laboratory on samples taken at 60 locations at three depths. Contents of soil textural fractions, organic matter content, and bulk density were averaged across the transect and used as input in the ensemble of 22 published PTFs developed from large datasets in different regions. The HYDRUS-1D software was used to simulate water content time series with (i) each of the PTFs from the ensemble and (ii) the laboratory-measured water retention data of each of the 60 locations. Simulations with the PTF ensemble had, on average, two times smaller errors those from using laboratory data. A possible explanation for this is that the PTF estimation gave substantially better approximations of field water retention than the laboratory data. The ensemble prediction appears to be a promising source of soil hydraulic properties to simulate soil water dynamics.

Analysis of the 2,909,809-bp genome will facilitate our molecular and biochemical understanding of the unusual metabolic repertoire of this bacterium, including its ability to couple denitrification to sulfur-compound oxidation, to catalyze anaerobic, nitrate-dependent oxidation of Fe(II) and U(IV), and to oxidize mineral electron donors. Notable genomic features include (i) genes encoding c-type cytochromes totaling 1 to 2 percent of the genome, which is a proportion greater than for almost all bacterial and archaeal species sequenced to date, (ii) genes encoding two [NiFe]hydrogenases, which is particularly significant because no information on hydrogenases has previously been reported for T. denitrificans and hydrogen oxidation appears to be critical for anaerobic U(IV) oxidation by this species, (iii) a diverse complement of more than 50 genes associated with sulfur-compound oxidation (including sox genes, dsr genes, and genes associated with the AMP-dependent oxidation of sulfite to sulfate), some of which occur in multiple (up to eight) copies, (iv) a relatively large number of genes associated with inorganic ion transport and heavy metal resistance, and (v) a paucity of genes encoding organic-compound transporters, commensurate with obligate chemolithoautotrophy. Ultimately, the genome sequence of T. denitrificans will enable elucidation of the mechanisms of aerobic and anaerobic sulfur-compound oxidation by beta -proteobacteria and will help reveal the molecular basis of this organism's role in major biogeochemical cycles (i.e., those involving sulfur, nitrogen, and carbon) and groundwater restoration.

Insulin-like growth factor-1 acting through the prosurvival kinase Akt mediates the phosphorylation of huntingtin at S421 and inhibits the toxicity of polyQ-expanded huntingtin in cell culture, suggesting that compounds enhancing phosphorylation are of therapeutic interest. However, it is not clear whether phosphorylation of S421 is crucial in vivo. Using a rat model of HD based on lentiviral-mediated expression of a polyQ-huntingtin fragment in the striatum, we demonstrate here that phosphorylation of S421 is neuroprotective in vivo. We next demonstrate that calcineurin (CaN), a calcium/calmodulin-regulated Ser/Thr protein phosphatase, dephosphorylates S421 in vitro and in cells. Inhibition of calcineurin activity, either by overexpression of the dominant-interfering form of CaN or by treatment with the specific inhibitor FK506, favors the phosphorylation of S421, restores the alteration in huntingtin S421 phosphorylation in HD neuronal cells, and prevents polyQ-mediated cell death of striatal neurons. Finally, we show that administration of FK506 to mice increases huntingtin S421 phosphorylation in brain. Collectively, these data highlight the importance of CaN in the modulation of S421 phosphorylation and suggest the potential use of CaN inhibition as a therapeutic approach to treat HD.

The majority of nuclear power plants to be built around the world in the next 15 years will likely be limited to a small number of relatively standardized designs, purchased from a limited number of multinational corporations. Such standardization creates an opportunity to leverage the resources and knowledge of the national regulatory authorities who will be tasked with the review of the new reactor power plant designs. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has developed an innovative proposal for a multinational design approval programme (MDAP). This paper describes the stages of the MDAP and the benefits that could be derived from its implementation. JF - EFFECTIVE NUCLEAR REGULATORY SYSTEMS: FACING SAFETY AND SECURITY CHALLENGES.

A principal aim of nuclear security is to prevent actions that can cause harm to humans -- a safety objective. Synergy between safety and security thus seems natural and easily achieved. However, some aspects, principally culture differenences between the two communities, may hinder this desirable synergy.

The US Government, States, and the private and public sectors are working to address a broad range of issues for reducing RDD risk, in a consistent manner, across multi-jurisdictional authorities. Key Nuclear Regulatory Commission safety and security actions for protection against RDDs and implementation of the key elements of the Code of Conduct include developing and implementing increased controls for risk significant radioactive material, enhancing import/export protocols and establishing a national source registry, known as the National Source Tracking System. Challenges arise in coordinating a national threat policy and consequences of concern and implementing protective strategies that balance safety, security and response as well as sharing burdens across diverse operational modes and overlapping regulatory responsibilities. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission participates in several collaborative initiatives with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to achieve consistency in the protection and response to national threats. The National Infrastructure Protection Plan describes the integrated activities needed to protect the nation's critical infrastructure/key resources, including protection from an RDD attack. In addition, the National Response Plan provides the protocols for coordinating response to nuclear or radiological incidents. In January 2006, the DHS issued its draft Application of Protective Action Guides for Radiological Dispersal Devices and Improvised Nuclear Device Incidents, which was developed within the Government in coordination with State and local agencies. The Government continues to work with State and local governments and commercial entities to implement integrated plans to protect against and respond to potential RDD attacks commensurate with the threat and potential consequences. The USA's regulatory framework is an open, inclusive and democratic process. All levels of the Government are working with stakeholders in a manner that seeks to instill public trust and confidence in the regulatory oversight process and the subsequent safe and secure use of radioactive materials.

However, because this genomic data has not yet been mapped onto chromosomes, important biological questions including regulation of gene expression at the genome-wide level cannot yet be addressed. Here, we report the molecular cytogenetic characterization of all 14 pairs of C. intestinalis chromosomes, as well as initial large-scale mapping of genomic sequences onto chromosomes by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Two-color FISH using 170 bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones and construction of joined scaffolds using paired BAC end sequences allowed for mapping of up to 65% of the deduced 117-Mb nonrepetitive sequence onto chromosomes. This map lays the foundation for future studies of the protochordate C. intestinalis genome at the chromosomal level.

(TWENTY-SIXTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36341551; 11905 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant in southern Minnesota is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 26th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all licenses 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, Nuclear Management Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission have 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. The power station, which is located within in a 2,150-acre site, with approximately two miles of frontage on the north and south banks of the Mississippi River. The site lies 22 miles southeast of St Cloud and 30 miles northwest of Minneapolis/St. Paul, and the primarily agricultural project study area includes portions of Wright and Sherburne counties. The plant and its ancillary facilities, which occupy approximately 50 acres within the site, consists of primarily of one single-cycle, forced circulation, low-power density boiling water reactor designed by the General Electric Company, which also designed the turbine generator unit and its related systems. Monticello was designed for operation at power levels up to 1,670 megawatts-thermal (MW(t)) and generation levels up to 545 MW-electric (MW(e)). However, an upgrade license amendment was approved in 1998, providing for a current rated thermal output of 1,775 MW(t) and an electrical output of 600 MW(e). The reactor containment structure consists a drywell enclosing the reactor vessel and recirculation pumps, a pressure suppression chamber serving to store a large volume of water, a connecting vent system between the drywell and the suppression chamber , and isolation valves. The reactor is served by a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Mississippi River. A steam generator is 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. the 44.1-mile Monticello-Coon Creek 345-kilovolt transmission line and the 13.3-mile Monticello-Parker Lake 345-kilovolt transmission line connects the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license, which is the preferred alternative, 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 Mississippi River 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 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 radionuclide's 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 - 36351505; 12617 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station adjacent to Barnegat Bay in Ocean County of eastern New Jersey is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 28th 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, AmerGen Energy Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues.

If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which April 9, 2009. The power station, which is located within in a 800-acre site 35 miles north of Atlantic City and 50 miles east of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, consists of one unit boiling-water reactor designed by General Electric and featuring Mark I containment. The unit produces a reactor core power of 1,930 megawatts-thermal, with a net electrical capacity of 640 megawatts-electric that uses a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Barnegat Bay through the lower reaches of the Forked River. Heated cooling water is discharged to Oyster Creek, which flows back into the Bay. The reactor, which was placed in service in December 1969, 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. Power transmission from the facility depends on the local 230-kilovolt transmission system consisting of two transmission lines, extending a total of 25.1 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 Barnegat Bay and deliver makeup water back to the bay. Release of water to the bay 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 bay as well. 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.

At low frequency (1 Hz), rTMS is assumed to decrease cortical excitability; however, the degree of TMS effect on cortical language areas may depend on the localization of the stimulation coil with respect to the inter-individual anatomo-functional variations. Hence, we aimed at investigating individual brain areas involved in semantic and phonological auditory processes. We hypothesized that active rTMS targeted over Wernicke's area might modify the performance during a language- fragment-detection task. Sentences in native or foreign languages were presented to 12 right-handed male healthy volunteers during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). 3D-functional maps localized the posterior temporal activation (Wernicke) in each subject and MRI anatomical cortical landmarks were used to define Broca's pars opercularis (F3Op). A frameless stereotaxy system was used to guide the TMS coil position over Wernicke's and F3Op areas in each subject. Active and placebo randomized rTMS sessions were applied at 1 Hz, 110% of motor threshold, during the same language-fragment-detection task. Accuracy and response time (RT) were recorded. RT was significantly decreased by active rTMS compared to placebo over Wernicke's area, and was more decreased for native than for foreign languages. No significant RT change was observed for F3Op area. rTMS conditions did not impair participants' accuracy. Thus, low-frequency rTMS over Wernicke's area can speed-up the response to a task tapping on native language perception in healthy volunteers.

AN - 68989713; 17029667 AB - Speciation of (210)Po and (210)Pb in air particulates of two Syrian phosphate sites with different climate conditions has been studied. The sites are the mines and Tartous port at the Mediterranean Sea. Air filters were collected during September 2000 until February 2002 and extracted chemically using different selective fluids in an attempt to identify the different forms of these two radionuclides. The results have shown that the inorganic and insoluble (210)Po and (210)Pb (attached to silica and soluble in mineral acids) portion was found to be high in both sites and reached a maximum value of 94% and 77% in the mine site and Tartous port site, respectively. In addition, only 24% of (210)Pb in air particulates was found to be associated with organic materials probably produced from the incomplete burning of fuel vehicle and similar activities. Moreover, the (210)Po/(210)Pb activity ratio in air particulates was higher than that in all samples at both sites and varied between 3.85 in November 2000 at Tartous port site and 20 in April 2001 at the mine area. These activity ratios were also higher than the natural levels. The (210)Po/(210)Pb activity ratio was also determined in each portion resulting from the selective extraction and found to be higher than that in most samples. The sources of (210)Po excess in these portions are discussed. Soil suspension, which is common in the dry climate dominant in the area, sea water spray and heating of phosphate ores were considered; polonium is more volatile than the lead compounds at even moderate temperature. Furthermore, variations in the chemical forms of (210)Po and (210)Pb during the year were also investigated. However, the results of this study can also be utilized for dose assessment to phosphate industry workers.

AN - 68076692; 16143723 AB - More than 40 industrial radiography laboratories are operating in Greece using X-ray or gamma-ray sources and more than 250 workers occupationally exposed to ionising radiation in these facilities are monitored on a regular basis. This study presents the evolution of individual doses received by radiographers during the past years. The mean annual dose (MAD) of all workers as well as of exposed workers is estimated, and correlated to the types of laboratories and practices applied. The MAD of the exposed workers in industrial radiography is compared with the doses of workers in other specialties and with the doses of radiographers in other countries. Furthermore, the study attempts to propose dose constraints for the practices in industrial radiography, according to the BSS European directive and the relevant Greek radiation protection legislation. The proposed value was defined as the dose below which the annual doses of 75% of the exposed radiographers are expected to be included.

AN - 67590969; 16229930 AB - Vertical distribution and inventories of (137)Cs have been determined using radiocesium distributions in presumably undistributed soil profiles, collected from 36 sites distributed all over Syria (eastern Mediterranean region). Vertical distributions of (137)Cs in the collected profiles were found to be strongly correlated with soil type and five groups were identified. Based on these profiles, total (137)Cs inventory (bomb test and Chernobyl) varied between 320 Bq m(-2) and 9,647 Bq m(-2). Geographical mapping of (137)Cs inventories showed that the highest values were found in the coastal, middle and north-east regions of Syria indicating that Chernobyl atmospheric contribution to the total (137)Cs deposition in the region is predominant. In contrast, the lowest values were found in the south-east region (Syrian Badia), where a relatively uniform distribution was observed, which may only be attributed to the past global nuclear bomb test. The measured inventories were also compared with a mathematical model for estimating bomb derived (137)Cs reference inventories.

AN - 67580007; 16054694 AB - This paper reviews the Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSP) concept, which is a first attempt to bring the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) carbon sequestration program activities into the "real world" by using a geographically-disposed-system type approach for the U.S. Each regional partnership is unique and covers a unique section of the U.S. and is tasked with determining how the research and development activities of DOE's carbon sequestration program can best be implemented in their region of the country. Although there is no universal agreement on the cause, it is generally understood that global warming is occurring, and many climate scientists believe that this is due, in part, to the buildup of carbon dioxide (CO(2)) in the atmosphere. This is evident from the finding presented in the National Academy of Science Report to the President on Climate Change which stated "Greenhouse gases are accumulating in Earth's atmosphere as a result of human activities, causing surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures to rise. Temperatures are, in fact, rising. The changes observed over the last several decades are likely mostly due to human activities, ...". In the United States, emissions of CO(2) originate mainly from the combustion of fossil fuels for energy production, transportation, and other industrial processes. Roughly one third of U.S. anthropogenic CO(2) emissions come from power plants. Reduction of CO(2) emissions through sequestration of carbon either in geologic formations or in terrestrial ecosystems can be part of the solution to the problem of global warming. However, a number of steps must be accomplished before sequestration can become a reality. Cost effective capture and separation technology must be developed, tested, and demonstrated; a database of potential sequestration sites must be established; and techniques must be developed to measure, monitor, and verify the sequestered CO(2). Geographical differences in fossil fuel use, the industries present, and potential sequestration sinks across the United States dictate the use of a regional approach to address the sequestration of CO(2). To accommodate these differences, the DOE has created a nationwide network of seven Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSP) to help determine and implement the carbon sequestration technologies, infrastructure, and regulations most appropriate to promote CO(2) sequestration in different regions of the nation. These partnerships currently represent 40 states, three Indian Nations, four Canadian Provinces, and over 200 organizations, including academic institutions, research institutions, coal companies, utilities, equipment manufacturers, forestry and agricultural representatives, state and local governments, non-governmental organizations, and national laboratories. These partnerships are dedicated to developing the necessary infrastructure and validating the carbon sequestration technologies that have emerged from DOE's core R&D and other programs to mitigate emissions of CO(2), a potent greenhouse gas. The partnerships provide a critical link to DOE's plans for FutureGen, a highly efficient and technologically sophisticated coal-fired power plant that will produce both hydrogen and electricity with near-zero emissions. Though limited to the situation in the U.S., the paper describes for the international scientific community the approach being taken by the U.S. to prepare for carbon sequestration, should that become necessary.

AN - 57705295; 200803704 AB - This paper considers the relationship between information use and the professional development of nuclear scientists in Ghana. The assumption is that, frequent use of library and information services results in higher productivity and achievement. Consequently, a national survey of nuclear scientists was conducted using the questionnaire method. The results indicate that information use leads to increase in the volume and quality of work output of nuclear scientists. Evidence is also found to support the claim that information use enhances contributions of scientists to their organizations. Adapted from the source document.

Hydrogen must be produced from other compounds such as fossil fuels, biomass, or water and is therefore considered an energy carrier like electricity. Gasification of carbonaceous, hydrogen-containing fuels is an effective method of thermal hydrogen production and is considered to be a key technology in the transition to a hydrogen economy. However, for gasification to play a major role during the transition period, capital and operating cost must be reduced and reliability and performance must be improved. Analyses show that hydrogen produced from coal-based gasification can be competitive with production from natural gas provided the cost of natural gas remains above $4/10 (super 6) Btu and the high reliability of gasification-based processes can be demonstrated. But for coal to be considered in a carbon-constrained environment, the cost of natural gas would have to be greater than $5.50/10 (super 6) Btu. The development of advanced technologies, however, offers the potential for significant reductions in capital costs, improved thermal efficiencies, and increased reliability. If these advanced technologies are capable of achieving their goals, the cost of producing hydrogen from coal could be reduced by 25-50%, even with the capture and sequestration of CO (sub 2) . With these reductions, the cost of natural gas would have to be less than $2.50/10 (super 6) Btu to compete, a scenario that is very unlikely to occur in the future. This potential cost reduction provides considerable impetus for continuing research and development in the production of hydrogen from coal.

The petrographic analysis has revealed that the sandstones are quartz-rich and were primarily derived from granitic and metamorphic basement rocks typical of a craton interior. The major and trace element compositions are comparable to average Proterozoic cratonic sandstones but with slight enrichment in high-field strength elements (i.e., Zr, Hf, Ta, Nb) and slight depletion in ferromagnesian elements (e.g., Cr, Ni, V) with exception of Co which is unusually enriched in the sandstones. The geochemical data suggest that the Buem sandstones are dominated by mature, cratonic detritus deposited on a passive margin. Elemental ratios critical of provenance (La/Sc, Th/Sc, Cr/Th, Eu/Eu*, La/Lu) are similar to sediments derived from weathering of mostly felsic and not mafic rocks. The rather high Eu/Eu* ratios (0.69-1.09) suggest weathering from mostly a granodiorite source rather than a granite source, consistent with a source from old upper continental crust. The granitoids of the Birimian Supergroup and/or the felsic gneisses of Birimian age exposed to the east and southeast of the Buem Formation appear the most likely source rocks. These results, therefore, support earlier studies that infer passive margin setting for the eastern margin of the West African Craton prior to the Pan-African Orogeny.

First, reactions are carried out in a rigid ASC under simulated irradiation where different gaseous systems are studied in mixtures (complete system), and separately (simple system). Second, interactions between TCE and beta -pinene are achieved in two flexible ASCs under solar irradiation in presence of artificial nitrogen oxides (NO sub(x)). The interest of these experiences is to simulate the arrival of a mass of industrial air charged with chlorinated VOC on a forest site, "naturally" rich in terpenic compounds. Results have shown that the presence of hydroxyl radicals can generate chlorine radicals, thus, an increase in the rate of degradation of the terpenic compounds. Constants of degradation rates (k sub(OH)) of TCE, MC and beta -pinene are determined.

These soils form the basis of agricultural production systems on which significant numbers of people depend upon for livelihoods. The objectives of this study were to investigate soil acidification following the introduction of Stylosanthes in cropping systems of a tropical semi-arid region. Most soils in Northeast Thailand are sandy and acidic (pH 4.0 in CaCl sub(2)), with high rate of drainage. Soil acidification was studied over a 6-year period on plots that had been treated either with or without lime additions under different cropping patterns. In the initial first 3 years, a rotation of maize and cowpea was compared to a bare soil treatment where no vegetation was allowed to establish. During the following 3 years, a rotation of maize and Stylosanthes was compared to a continuous Stylosanthes hamata (stylo) treatment. Total soil acidification was calculated from measured pH changes and pH buffer capacity. Acidification due to root system activity was estimated from the above ground biomass production and its ash alkalinity. In the limed systems, soil pH decrease was well correlated with the ash alkalinity of the crop and its removal from the plot. Acidification was highest in the bare soil (6.3 kmol H super(+) ha super(-1) year super(-1)), due to leaching of applied N fertilizers. The cowpea-maize rotations did not increase significantly the rate of acid addition (7.6 kmol H super(+) ha super(-1) year super(-1)), since the crop residues were returned to the plot. The introduction of stylo in the cropping system resulted in a lower net acidification rate when it was cultivated in rotation with maize (1.3 kmol H super(+) ha super(-1) year super(-1)), due to the lower rate of leaching. In contrast, continuous cultivation of stylo triggered accelerated acidification (7.2 kmol H super(+) ha super(-1) year super(-1)), as a result of the large quantities of biomass with high ash alkalinity being removed from the plot. In the no-lime system, the pH of the soil profile remained stable at pH 4.0 regardless of the cropping system, even though the acidification rates were quite similar to those in the limed treatments. This would suggest that the soil was strongly buffered at pH 4.0. XRD patterns showed that kaolinite, the main clay mineral, was more disordered and less crystalline in the surface horizons than at depth. It is suggested that the dissolution of kaolinite is responsible for the buffering of soil pH at 4.0. From the dissolution equation of kaolinite, it is expected that the amount of aluminium in the topsoil would increase along with the release silica that would accelerate cementation processes between soil particles resulting in further degradation.

The four catalysts tested were Ir, Ir/HCl, Darco FGD activated carbon, and Thief/HCl. The Thief/HCl and Darco converted the highest percentage of the inlet mercury; however, the high conversion in these experiments was aided by larger catalyst loadings than in the Ir and Ir/HCl experiments. We propose a method for analyzing mercury oxidation catalyst results in a kinetic framework using the bulk reaction rate for oxidized mercury formation normalized by either the catalyst mass or surface area. Results reported for fractional mercury oxidation are strongly influenced by the specific experimental conditions and are therefore difficult to translate from experiment to experiment. The catalyst-normalized results allow for more quantitative analysis of mercury oxidation catalyst data and are the first step in creating a predictive model that will allow for efficient scaling up from laboratory-scale to larger-scale studies.

The transfer factors (calculated as Bq kg super(-1) dry plant material per Bq kg super(-1) dry soil) of both radionuclides varied among tree parts and were highest in olive and apricot fruits. However, the values for super(90)Sr were much higher than those for super(137)Cs in all plant parts. The geometric mean of the transfer factors in olives, apricots and grapes were 0.007, 0.095 and 0.0023 for super(137)Cs and 0.093, 0.13 and 0.08 for super(90)Sr, respectively, and were negligible in olive oil for both radionuclides. The transfer factors of both radionuclides were similar to, or in the lower limits of, those obtained in other areas of the world. This could be attributed to differences in soil characteristics: higher pH, lower organic matter, high clay content, and higher exchangeable potassium and calcium.

Ultrasensitive native fluorescence detection of proteins with miniaturized 1-D and 2-D PAGE was achieved with laser side-entry excitation. The detection limit for R-phycoerythrin protein spots in 1-D SDS-PAGE with 532 nm excitation was as low as 15 fg, which corresponds to only 40 000 molecules. The average detection limit of six standard native proteins was 5 pg per band with 275 nm excitation. The dynamic range spanned more than three orders of magnitude. By using the same detection setup, approximately 150 protein spots from 30 ng of total Escherichia coli extraction were detected on a 0.8 cmX1 cm gel in 2-D separation. The significant improvement in sensitivity for laser side-entry excitation comes from higher excitation power and lower background level compared with other excitation modes.

Historically eastern and western North Pacific gray whales were managed separately because: (i) their ranges do not overlap; (ii) genetic analyses indicate that the two populations are significantly different; and (iii) eastern gray whales have increased in abundance over the past century while western gray whales have not. Here, we review gray whale migration timing and segregation, feeding and prey species, and reproduction and reproductive behaviour. For the eastern and western gray whale, we review their distribution, history of exploitation, abundance and current status, although most of what is known is founded on the better studied eastern gray whale and only implied for the lesser known western gray whale. Methods to investigate population and stock identity are reviewed including genetics, morphology, chemical signatures, carbon isotopes, parasites, photographic identification and trends in abundance. While the evidence indicates that there is at least some degree of mixing within each of the gray whale populations, no stocks or sub-stocks can be defined. Population structure is not evident in nuclear data, and because selection occurs primarily on the nuclear genome, it is unlikely that there is structuring within each population that could result in evolutionary differences. For western gray whales, there are insufficient data to assess the plausibility of stock structure within the population, owing to its extremely depleted state. Research on eastern gray whales has focused mostly on documenting changes in abundance, feeding biology and behaviour, and suggests separate breeding groups to be unlikely. Both males and females are promiscuous breeders lending little opportunity for the nuclear genome to be anything other than well mixed as is suggested by the high haplotypic diversity of the eastern population. The available data strongly indicate that western gray whales represent a population geographically isolated from eastern gray whales and therefore that the western and eastern populations should be treated as separate management units.

Comprehensive and scientifically rigorous studies found a low lung cancer mortality rate in high radon areas. It is opposite to the linear no-threshold hypothesis (LNTH), which is a popular theory in the field of radiation safety. The fact is explained by the theory of energy transfer model that accounts for the competitive processes arising in material during irradiation.

13883504 AB - A geophysical interpretative method is proposed to depth, amplitude coefficient and geometrical shape factor determination of a buried structure from an observed gravity anomaly related to a cylinder or a sphere-like structure.The method is based on nonlinearly constrained mathematical modelling and also on stochastic optimization approaches. The proposed interpretative method first has been tested on theoretical synthetic models with different random errors at a certain depth, where a very close agreement has been observed between assumed and evaluated parameters. Subsequent field data have been considered for which the interpreted results by other methods are available for comparison. The agreement between the obtained results by the proposed technique and by other geophysical methods is good. A statistical analysis has been also carried out to demonstrate the accuracy and the precision of the suggested interpretative method.

The Scatterscore Water Quality Evaluation was developed to yield a quantitative score, based on all measured variables in periodic water quality reports, indicating positive, negative or random change. This new methodology calculates a reconnaissance score based on the differences between up-gradient (control) versus down-gradient (treatment) water quality data sets. All parameters measured over a period of time at two or more sampling points are compared. The relationship between the ranges of measured values and the ratio of the medians for each parameter produces a data point that falls into one of four sections on a scattergram. The number and average values of positive, negative and random change points is used to calculate a Scatterscore that indicates the magnitude and direction of overall change in water quality.

Coal seams may make excellent candidates for CO (sub 2) sequestration; coal-seam sequestration could enhance methane production and improve sequestration economics. Reservoir-simulation computations are an important component of any engineering design before carbon dioxide is injected underground. We have performed such simulations for a hypothetical pilot-scale project in representative coal seams. In these simulations we assume four horizontal production wells that form a square, that is, two wells drilled at right angles to each other forming two sides of a square, with another pair of horizontal wells similarly drilled to form the other two sides. Four shorter horizontal wells are drilled from a vertical well at the center of the square, forming two straight lines orthogonal to each other. By modifying coal properties, especially sorption rate, we have approximated different types of coals. By varying operational parameters, such as injector length, injection well pressure, time to injection, and production well pressure, we can evaluate different production schemes to determine an optimum for each coal type. Any optimization requires considering a tradeoff between total CO (sub 2) sequestered and the rate of methane production. Values of total CO (sub 2) sequestered and methane produced are presented for multiple coal types and different operational designs.

A "two-dimensional" network of cylindrical pores and parallelepiped connecting throats was constructed and used for the measurements. All pore bodies had the same dimensions, but three-different (square cross- section) pore-throat sizes were randomly distributed throughout the network. An unstructured computational grid for flow through an identical network was developed and used to compute the local pressure gradients and flow vectors for several different (macroscopic) flow rates. Numerical solution results were compared with the experimental data, and good agreement was found. Cross-over from Darcy flow to inertial flow was observed in the computational results, and the permeability and inertia coefficients of the network were estimated. The development of inertial flow was seen as a "two-step" process: (1) recirculation zones appeared in more and more pore bodies as the flow rate was increased, and (2) the strengths of individual recirculation zones increased with flow rate. Because each pore-throat and pore-body dimension is known, in this approach an experimental (and/or computed) local Reynolds number is known for every location in the porous medium at which the velocity has been measured (and/or computed).

AN - 68681309; 16217190 AB - The federal government has had the ability to respond to incidents of national significance for decades. Since 11 September 2001, there have been enhancements to existing federal assets and the creation of new federal assets. This presentation will provide an overview of the more significant federal assets. Pivotal to a response of national significance is the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center, which organizes and coordinates federal agency monitoring activities during an emergency. DOE manages the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center during the emergency phase, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) manages the response during the recovery phase once the emergency is terminated. EPA monitoring teams provide support during both the emergency and recovery phases of an emergency. Other DOE teams are available to respond to major nuclear power plant events, transportation accidents, or terrorism events involving the use of radiological materials, including the Radiological Assistance Program, the Aerial Measuring System, the National Atmospheric Release Advisory Center, and the Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site. For incidents involving a nuclear weapon, an improvised nuclear device, or a radiological dispersal device, DOE assets such as the Nuclear Emergency Support Team and the Accident Response Group could provide capabilities for weapon or device search, recovery, and removal. The Radiological Triage System harnesses the weapons scientists and engineers at the DOE national laboratories to provide gamma spectroscopy interpretation for agencies responding to an incident. In recent years, National Guard Weapons of Mass Destruction-Civil Support Teams have been created to support state and local response to terrorism events. The Civil Support Teams normally come under direct control of the state and can respond without requiring authorization from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Changes brought about by the events of September 11 also extend to changing federal response policy and planning. Therefore, the Catastrophic Incident Response Annex to the National Response Plan is discussed. DoD also provides specifically designated radiological response capabilities that can be utilized within the guidelines of the National Response Plan. While optimally designed to support military missions, these resources also help provide for a well-equipped set of national assets to temporarily support and augment the local, state, and federal civil agencies that have primary authority and responsibility for domestic disaster assistance. The military's role in domestic emergencies is well defined in military regulations, as well as the national plan.

The chemicals included estradiol (E2), diethylstilbestrol (DES), ethinylestradiol (EE2), estrone (E1), estriol, tamoxifen (TAM), genistein (GEN), p-nonylphenol (PNP), p-tert-octylphenol (PTOP), methoxychlor (MXC), testosterone, and methyltestosterone (MT). Relative binding affinity (RBA) was calculated for each chemical as a function of E2 binding to the receptor. The estrogens DES, EE2, and E1 bound with high affinity to both receptors, with respective RBAs of 583, 166, and 28% (fathead minnow) and 179, 89, and 5% (rainbow trout). Relative binding affinity of E3, TAM, and GEN for both fhmER and rbtER were moderate, with values between 0.3 and 5%. The alkylphenols had weak affinity for the ERs with RBAs for the fhmER of 0.1 and 0.01 for PNP and PTOP, respectively. Corresponding values for the rbtER are 0.027 and 0.009. Estradiol ([ super(3)H]E2) only partially was displaced from both the fhmER and the rbtER by MXC, T, and MT. Comparison of RBAs of the chemicals tested for fhmER and rbtER indicates that the rank order of RBAs essentially are the same for both species.

However, the transition from a conventional petroleum-based energy system to a hydrogen economy involves many uncertainties, such as the development of efficient fuel-cell technologies, problems in hydrogen production and its distribution infrastructure, and the response of petroleum markets. This study uses the US MARKAL model to simulate the impacts of hydrogen technologies on the US energy system and to identify potential impediments to a successful transition. Preliminary findings highlight possible market barriers facing the hydrogen economy, as well as opportunities in new R&D and product markets for bioproducts. Quantitative analysis also offers insights on policy options for promoting hydrogen technologies.

Patterning self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on a gold surface is one of the most widely used methods in creating these microarrays, and there have been numerous investigations of the preferential adsorption and localization of proteins, cells, and DNA on these materials. However, very little work has been done to examine interactions at the single-molecule level at these patterned interfaces. This presentation describes an investigation using YOYO-labeled DNA and patterned SAMs on optically transparent gold and total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) for the real-time detection of single-molecule DNA adsorption. The experiments monitor the binding of YOYO-DNA to patterned SAM surfaces that are excited by an evanescent wave generated by Ar super(+)(488 nm) laser on the surface of a silica prism. We therefore monitored the interaction of DNA at compositionally patterned SAM surfaces that were formed from alkanethiols with -COOH, -OH, and NH2 terminal groups in solutions of varied pH and buffering capacity. Results show that the localization and magnitude of the interaction between DNA and the surface can be manipulated by changing pH.

6538316 AB - Thin structures of alternating magnetic and nonmagnetic layers with a total thickness of a few hundred nanometers exhibit a phenomenon known as giant magnetoresistance. The resistance of microfabricated giant magnetoresistors (GMRs) is dependent on the strength of an external magnetic field. This paper examines magnetic labeling methodologies and surface derivatization approaches based on protein-protein binding that are aimed at forming a general set of protocols to move GMR concepts into the bioanalytical arena. As such, GMRs have been used to observe and quantify the immunological interaction between surface-bound mouse IgG and alpha -mouse IgG coated on superparamagnetic particles. Results show the response of a GMR network connected together as a set of two sense GMRs and two reference GMRs in a Wheatstone bridge as a means to compensate for temperature effects. The response can be readily correlated to the amount of the magnetically labeled alpha -mouse IgG that is captured by an immobilized layer of mouse IgG, the presence of which is confirmed with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. These results, along with a detailed description of the experimental testing platform, are described in terms of sensitivity, detection limits, and potential for multiplexing.

Subsequently, a large portion of this Hg can be incorporated into the FGD slurry and its solid byproducts, including synthetic gypsum. FGD gypsum is commonly used for the manufacturing of wallboard but other uses include cement/concrete formulations and soil amendments. The amount of Hg in FGD products may increase in the future if these units are optimized for co-capture. Among the issues that arise are the potential for atmospheric and groundwater releases of Hg during the manufacturing processes, releases from the manufactured products, and post-disposal mobilization from the wallboard or other product. Leaching studies of coal utilization byproducts (CUB) are often performed to determine the compatibility of the material with a particular end-use or disposal environment. These studies typically employ either a batch or a fixed-bed column technique. Column techniques provide leach data over extended periods of time, at progressively increasing liquid-to-solid ratios, and often over a range of pH values. Unfortunately, clogs can form in fixed-bed leaching columns, either because of cementitious properties of the material itself, such as is seen for fluidized-bed combustion (FBC) fly ash, or because of precipitate formation, such as can occur when a high-calcium ash is subjected to sulfate-containing leachates. Also, very fine-grained materials, such as gypsum, do not provide sufficient permeability for study in a fixed-bed column. A continuous, stirred-tank extractor (CSTX) is an alternative technique that can provide the elution profile of column leaching but without the permeability problems. The CSTX has been successfully employed in the leaching of FGD products that would not be sufficiently permeable under traditional column leaching conditions. The results indicate that the leaching behavior depends on a number of factors, including (but not limited to) solubility and neutralization capacity of the mineral phases present, sorption properties of these phases and behavior of the solubilized material in the tank. Leaching to near-exhaustion of a FGD-derived wallboard allowed the isolation of a highly adsorptive phase. This phase is present in at least one FGD gypsum and accounts for the immobilization of trace metals including Hg.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has independently conducted activities at Nopal I to better understand the analogous nature of source term and contaminant transport aspects of the two sites. The U deposit consists of a series of mined horizontal benches, some of which have been cleared to allow detailed mapping. The benches are vertically separated by 10 m (32.8 ft). The vertical walls between benches, and cleared benches, were mapped at a scale of 1:25. Uranium transport through the fractured silicic tuff at the site has been described (Pearcy et al., 1995), however that study focused only on the cleared benches. In general, fracture density on the vertical walls appears to be higher than on the cleared benches. Fracture density (total trace length per unit area) determined in ArcGIS indicates density at Nopal I can be greater than 6 m/m (super 2) within the ore deposit, but is not significantly different than outside the ore deposit. At Yucca Mountain the fracture intensity is much lower at 0.29 m/m (super 2) for the lower lithophysal unit of the Topopah Spring Member. This difference could be due to a longer cutoff length for mapped fractures at Yucca Mountain. At Nopal I fracture density was also calculated by frequency (i.e., number of fractures/m (super 2) ) and it shows a general increase close to the deposit and somewhat higher values within the deposit. The fractal dimension of the fracture pattern on cleared benches, determined using a box-counting method, was 1.8, while at Yucca Mountain the fractal dimension of the Topopah Spring Member is 1.7 (Barton et al., 1993). Fractal dimension of rock blocks at Yucca Mountain range for 2.37-2.69 (La Pointe, 1988), while at Nopal fracture frequency density has a fractal dimension of 2.4 and a fracture length density of 2.6. The frequency of fractures having a mineral coating at Yucca Mountain has been used by the U.S. Department of Energy to support the active fracture model and this approach could be tested using the Nopal data. 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.

The licensing regulations are risk-informed and performance-based, and identify the role of natural analogs in supporting models of repository performance. NRC has collected natural analog information from the Pena Blanca District, Chihuahua, Mexico since 1990. NRC independently used that information to better understand the performance of a potential tuff-hosted nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain and to understand limitations of the use of natural analog information. NRC-funded work in the Pena Blanca District has focused on (1) characterization of processes important to oxidative alteration of uraninite, (2) characterization of processes important to subsequent migration of radioelements through silicic tuffs, and (3) modeling the processes which control uraninite alteration and radioelement migration. Field studies included geologic mapping, contact gamma surveys, collection of solid, vegetation, and water samples, and characterization of local hydrology. Laboratory investigations included analyses of mapping data, mineralogy, petrology, rock, plant and water chemistry, stable and radioisotope analyses, and hydraulic characterization of tuffs. These studies (http://www.swri.edu/4org/d20/ghs/PBlanca/index.html) have led to (1) a description of the alteration of uraninite that occurred over long time scales that is comparable to that observed in Yucca Mountain-approximate laboratory experiments of spent fuel degradation; (2) implementation of an alternate source term model for the NRC's performance assessment code; (3) a better understanding of radioelement mobility in fracture transport pathways; and (4) demonstration of episodes of elevated radionuclide mobility, likely related to increased water flow.

In a zone a few tens of meters horizontally around Nopal I, elevated U concentrations in fracture-filling minerals indicate past mobilization and redeposition. While it is not possible to quantify precisely the mass that was transported and not captured, this secondary U enrichment indicates release and transport. Three classes of fracture fills have been studied: iron-rich, carbonate-rich, and opaliferous. Uranium deposition in iron-rich fractures took place during and after oxidative alteration of pyrite to goethite, hematite, jarosite, and amorphous iron oxyhydroxides. Uranium-series isotope systematics suggest this enrichment took place within the past few hundred thousand years, with more recent partial U removal. The carbonate-rich fracture assemblages reflect two environments. Crystalline calcite (up to 50 ppm U) was deposited earlier than 200 ka, while caliches (up to hundreds of ppm U) are less than 140 ka with an episode of higher U contents at 45-55 ka. Leaching studies show that, in most cases, the silica-mineral residues are coeval with the calcite component. Opals (up to thousands of ppm U) are mostly in U-series secular equilibrium; one exception has an age of 54+ or -2 ka. Studies are underway to better understand the physical and chemical environments of deposition of these various fracture materials. Implications of these observations for better understanding the performance of a potential nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain include (i) estimating the efficacy of fractures in providing transport pathways, (ii) demonstrating episodes of elevated radionuclide mobility, likely related to increased water flow, (iii) comparing lower-bound release rates, based on estimated U deposition rates, with rates in repository performance assessment analyses, and (iv) quantifying the sorptive properties of iron minerals in a natural setting. This is an independent product of the CNWRA and does not necessarily reflect the views or regulatory positions of the NRC. The NRC staff views expressed here are preliminary and do not represent a final judgment or determination of the matters addressed or of the acceptability of a license application for a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain.

Pennsylvania is reported to have the highest mercury air pollution in the nation, its older coal-fired power plants emitting up to ten times more mercury than newer plants. Rainfall monitored by eight field stations of the Mercury Deposition Network in Pennsylvania have detected regional and seasonal differences in mercury deposition patterns, the highest concentrations measured being ca.124 ng/L total mercury. Calls for increased mercury monitoring activities within the state have come from regional environmental groups concerned with environmental contamination and bioconcentration in fish. Likewise, the potential environmental benefits of reducing mercury emissions from existing power plants cannot be seriously evaluated without extensive environmental monitoring. Low environmental mercury concentrations and the expense of traditional laboratory analyses currently limit such routine and effective monitoring. Microbial biosensors sensitive to mercury have been developed that quantitatively produce light in response to the amount of mercury (II) entering the cells. However, these sensors are often difficult to prepare, can have long lag times between initial mercury exposure and subsequent light emission, and are difficult to use in the field. In this paper, the use of a novel "molecular beacon" sensor for mercury (II) environmental screening is reported. An oligonucleotide sequence is used that changes its conformation upon binding with mercury (II) ions. The change in conformation causes a fluorophore at one end of the oligonucleotide sequence to come in proximity with a specific quencher molecule attached to the other end of the oligonucleotide. Enhanced fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) results in a decrease in the intensity of fluorescence spectrum, which is correlated with the mercury concentration. The fluorescence spectrum generated by this sensor can be analyzed using a field spectrofluorometer, and applications employing fiber optic probes are envisioned. Data are presented that illustrate both the sensitivity of the oligonucleotide sensor under environmental conditions, as well as the potential benefits and shortcomings of this approach.

However, predictions made using many commonly used geochemical models are only reliable if the data and reaction scheme on which they are based are accurate. The extreme pressures and salinities encountered in many aquifers targeted for sequestration make modeling of carbon dioxide sequestration capacities difficult. To provide meaningful predictions, theoretical simulations must be verified against experimental data. In order to test theoretical predictions, carbon dioxide solubility experiments were conducted in a Dickson-type flexible-cell system in pure water and natural brine containing Na-Ca-Mg-K and Cl equivalent to a 20 weight percent NaCl fluid. Experiments were conducted under conditions that bracket the range of temperatures and pressures expected for typical sequestration scenarios. The Dickson-type reaction cell allows for gas-saturated fluid samples to be taken into gas-tight syringes without changing in-situ conditions during sampling. As expected, experimental results indicate a decrease in carbon dioxide solubility in the brine compared to that for pure water at the same temperature and pressure. The experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions provided that equilibrium constants are adjusted to reflect the elevated pressures of the system and appropriate activity-concentration relations are accounted for with elevated salinities. Failure to properly account for elevated pressures and salinities in the theoretical models can result in large errors in solubility estimates. Absence of experimental data on carbonate mineral and carbon dioxide solubility in natural brines under elevated carbon dioxide pressures makes it extremely difficult to verify modeling results, especially when considering rock/water interaction in the subsurface after injection of carbon dioxide. Although experimental results indicate carbon dioxide solubility estimates may be reliable, overall, it is difficult to confidently place quantitative constraints on the ultimate sequestration capacity of deep saline aquifers.

In a concept proposed by Clean Energy Systems, Inc., nitrogen is removed from the combustion air and replaced with steam diluent. In this way, formation of nitrogen oxides is prevented, and the exhaust stream can be separated into concentrated CO2 and water streams. The concentrated CO2 stream could then serve as input to a CO2 sequestration process. In this study, experimental data are reported from a full-scale combustion test using steam as the diluent in oxy-fuel combustion. This combustor represents the 'reheat' combustion system in a steam cycle that uses a high and low-pressure steam expansion. The reheat combustor serves to raise the temperature of the low-pressure steam turbine inlet, similar to the reheat stage of a conventional steam power cycle. Unlike a conventional steam cycle, the reheat enthalpy is actually generated by oxy-fuel combustion in the steam flow. This paper reports on the unique design aspects of this combustor, as well as initial emissions and operating performance. JF - Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power.

The results indicated that chemical treatments increased the IVOMD and ME values significantly for all samples treated except the date palm seeds. There was no significant effect of irradiation on IVOMD and ME. Combined treatments of irradiation and HBr or NaOH were also found to be ineffective in increasing the IVOMD and ME values.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - AMERICAN CENTRIFUGE PLANT IN PIKETON, OHIO. AN - 912102258; 11636-5_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a license to construct, operate, and decommission the American Centrifuge Plant (ACP), a gas centrifuge uranium enrichment facility located on the Department of Energy (DOE) reservation in Piketon, Ohio is proposed. Piketon lies between Chillicothe and Portsmouth, approximately 70 miles south of Columbus, Ohio. Enrichment is the process of increasing the concentration of the naturally occurring fissionable uranium-235 isotope. Uranium ore usually contains approximately 0.72 weight percent uraniu-235. In order to be useful in a nuclear power plant as fuel for electricity generation, the uranium must typically be enriched up to five weight percent. While the demand for enriched uranium rises, the supplies of enriched uranium currently required in the United States are on the decline. Foreign sources currently provide as much as 86 percent of the nation's enriched uranium needs, including 42 percent from Russia and 44 percent from other countries that produce and export enriched uranium. A supply disruption at the Paducah Plant which is the only plant operating domestically would seriously threaten the country's energy security. The ACP would enrich uranium for use in commercial fuel for power reactors. Feed material would be comprised of non-enriched uranium hexaflouride. The license applicant, USEC Inc., proposes to enrich uranium up to 10 percent by weight of uranius-235. The initial license application would provide for a facility capable of processing 3.5 million separative work units (SWU) per year. Because USEC has indicated the potential for future expansion of the facility to allow for production of 7.0 million SWU per year, the environmental review presented here addresses that volume of production capacity. The license would authorize USEC to possess and use special nuclear material, source material, and byproduct material at the ACP. The new plant would be located within the same site as the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant, which has been shut down since May 2001. Development of the ACP would involve refurbishment of existing buildings, construction of new facilities, and use of adjacent grounds owned by the DOE and leased by USEC. USEC would utilize centrifuge technology to enrich uranium-235 to 10 weight percent. Depending on the timing of the licensing process and other factors, USEC would start construction of the ACP in 2007, begin commercial centrifuge operations in 2009, and ramp up to 3.5 million SWU design capacity by 201. The license would be granted for a period of 30 years. After the proposed ACP because operational, production of enriched uranium would cease at the gaseous diffusion plant in Paducah, Kentucky and be replaced byt he ACP at Piketon. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative. Site preparation and construction costs are estimated at $1.5 billion between 2006 and 2020. Centrifuge manufacturing and assembly are estimated to cost $1.4 billion between 2004 and 2013. Decontamination and decommissioning are estimated to cost $435 million over a period of six years, expected to begin in 2040. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The ACP would provide much of the uramium-235 necessary to generate a large portion of the 393 gigawatts of new generating capacity required to meet the nation's needs by 2020. This would require an installed nuclear-generating capacity increase from 98 gigawatts in 2001 to 103 gigawatts in 2025, which is the equivalent of five nuclear reactors. In addition to advancing national energy security goals, the ACP plant would help accomplish the goals of the June 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement to facilitate the deployment of new cost-effective advanced enrichment technology in the U.S. on an accelerated schedule. USEC would constru8ct and operate a modern, efficient, lest costly enrichment plant to supplement and replace a gaseous diffusion in moderation for more than 50 years. Gas centrifuge technology would represent a more efficient and less energy intensive uranium enrichment technology that the gaseous diffusion technology currently in use. The ACP would provide for significant local employment opportunities and otherwise contribute to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Slight impacts would result with respect to land use, historic and cultural resources, visual aesthetics, air quality, geologic and soil resources, water resources, ecological resources, socioeconomics, noise levels, transportation-related radiological hazards, occupational health and safety, and waste management. Approximately 24 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat would be lost. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.).

Preparation date: September 1, 2005 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-21 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - The use of radiation surveys to estimate the radiation effective dose to visitors of hospitalized patients--a theoretical study. AN - 68473690; 16096497 AB - Members of the public visiting hospitalized patients undergoing nuclear medicine procedures or brachytherapy are exposed to radiation emanating from the patient. The radiation protection staff at the hospital is responsible for ensuring that the doses to these visitors are kept as low as is reasonably achievable and are maintained below applicable regulatory limits. These limits are normally expressed in terms of the effective dose to the visitor. Direct measurement of the effective dose, however, is not feasible, and the use of a quantity that provides a reasonable estimate, referred to as a surrogate, is required. This study used Monte Carlo radiation transport calculations to examine the feasibility of using bedside survey results, in units of roentgens per hour, as a surrogate for estimating the effective dose to a person who may be present at the survey location. The Monte Carlo code used in this work was MCNP Version 5. In these calculations, both the patient and the visitor were modeled using modified Medical Internal Radiation Dose anthropomorphic phantoms. Radioactive material that emitted monoenergetic photons was located in several of the patient's organs in turn, and the bedside exposure rates and the effective doses at the same location were calculated. The calculations were repeated for several visitor locations, both at bedside along the length of the bed, and at increasing distances from the bed. The ratios of the exposure rates to the effective dose rates at each location gave an indication of the utility of the exposure rate measurements in providing a reasonable estimate of the effective dose. The results indicated that the survey data provided estimates of the effective dose within recommended accuracy for many exposure situations, but underestimated the effective dose to the visitor for other situations, especially locations close to bedside and for lower energy radiations. Use of appropriate correction factors based on this work could improve the utility of the survey data for the underestimated situations, and the exposure rate data could still be used to estimate the dose to a visitor within recommended accuracy, provided the estimated dose does not approach too closely to the applicable limit.

The objectives of the evaluation were to investigate coupled processes associated with (i) temperature effects on mechanical deformation and (ii) effect of thermal-mechanical processes on rock-mass permeability. Two-dimensional numerical models were built to perform the thermal-mechanical analyses. Thermal-mechanical simulations were predicated on a continuum representation of a deformation-permeability relationship based on fracture normal stress. The estimated trend of permeability responses using a normal stress-based deformation-permeability relationship compared reasonably to that measured in the coupled thermal-mechanical analyses.

As part of the international cooperative code-comparison project DEvelopment of COupled models and their VALidation against EXperiments, four research teams used four different numerical models to simulate and predict coupled thermal-hydrological-mechanical (THM) processes at the DST. The simulated processes included heat transfer, liquid and vapor water movements, rock-mass stress and displacement, and stress-induced changes in fracture permeability. Model predictions were evaluated by comparison to measurements of temperature, water saturation, displacement, and air permeability. The generally good agreement between simulated and measured THM data shows that adopted continuum model approaches are adequate for simulating relevant coupled THM processes at the DST. Moreover, thermal-mechanically induced rock-mass deformations were reasonably well predicted using elastic models, although some individual displacements appeared to be better captured using an elasto-plastic model. It is concluded that fracture closure/opening caused by change in normal stress across fractures is the dominant mechanism for thermal-stress-induced changes in intrinsic fracture permeability at the DST, whereas fracture shear dilation appears to be less significant. This indicates that such changes in intrinsic permeability at the DST, which are within one order of magnitude, are likely to be mostly reversible. Abstract Copyright (2005) Elsevier, B.V.

Microbial population of ground roots and the characteristics of their extracts (concentrations of glycyrrhizinic acid, total and inorganic dissolved solids), mineral ions (Ca super(++) and K super(+)), pH and EC values were evaluated after irradiation. The results showed thatmicrobial count of fine particles of ground licorice roots were 10 super(6) g super(-1), that of coarse ones 10 super(5) g super(-1). The extract produced from coarse particles of ground roots had lower total and inorganic dissolved solids, mineral ions (Ca super(++) and K super(+)), pH and EC values compared with those produced from fine particular ones. All sizes of licorice roots treated with gamma irradiation had significantly (P<0.05) lower microorganism counts than untreated (control) ones. The dose needed to reduce the microbial load to less than 10 bacteria per gram was 15 kGy for the fine particle and 10 kGy for the coarse ground root. Gamma irradiation decreased glycyrrhizinic acid concentrations in the extracts produced from coarse particle licorice roots.

AN - 16358632; 11636 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a license to construct, operate, and decommission the American Centrifuge Plant (ACP), a gas centrifuge uranium enrichment facility located on the Department of Energy (DOE) reservation in Piketon, Ohio is proposed. Piketon lies between Chillicothe and Portsmouth, approximately 70 miles south of Columbus, Ohio. Enrichment is the process of increasing the concentration of the naturally occurring fissionable uranium-235 isotope. Uranium ore usually contains approximately 0.72 weight percent uraniu-235. In order to be useful in a nuclear power plant as fuel for electricity generation, the uranium must typically be enriched up to five weight percent. While the demand for enriched uranium rises, the supplies of enriched uranium currently required in the United States are on the decline. Foreign sources currently provide as much as 86 percent of the nation's enriched uranium needs, including 42 percent from Russia and 44 percent from other countries that produce and export enriched uranium. A supply disruption at the Paducah Plant which is the only plant operating domestically would seriously threaten the country's energy security. The ACP would enrich uranium for use in commercial fuel for power reactors. Feed material would be comprised of non-enriched uranium hexaflouride. The license applicant, USEC Inc., proposes to enrich uranium up to 10 percent by weight of uranius-235. The initial license application would provide for a facility capable of processing 3.5 million separative work units (SWU) per year. Because USEC has indicated the potential for future expansion of the facility to allow for production of 7.0 million SWU per year, the environmental review presented here addresses that volume of production capacity. The license would authorize USEC to possess and use special nuclear material, source material, and byproduct material at the ACP. The new plant would be located within the same site as the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant, which has been shut down since May 2001. Development of the ACP would involve refurbishment of existing buildings, construction of new facilities, and use of adjacent grounds owned by the DOE and leased by USEC. USEC would utilize centrifuge technology to enrich uranium-235 to 10 weight percent. Depending on the timing of the licensing process and other factors, USEC would start construction of the ACP in 2007, begin commercial centrifuge operations in 2009, and ramp up to 3.5 million SWU design capacity by 201. The license would be granted for a period of 30 years. After the proposed ACP because operational, production of enriched uranium would cease at the gaseous diffusion plant in Paducah, Kentucky and be replaced byt he ACP at Piketon. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative. Site preparation and construction costs are estimated at $1.5 billion between 2006 and 2020. Centrifuge manufacturing and assembly are estimated to cost $1.4 billion between 2004 and 2013. Decontamination and decommissioning are estimated to cost $435 million over a period of six years, expected to begin in 2040. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The ACP would provide much of the uramium-235 necessary to generate a large portion of the 393 gigawatts of new generating capacity required to meet the nation's needs by 2020. This would require an installed nuclear-generating capacity increase from 98 gigawatts in 2001 to 103 gigawatts in 2025, which is the equivalent of five nuclear reactors. In addition to advancing national energy security goals, the ACP plant would help accomplish the goals of the June 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement to facilitate the deployment of new cost-effective advanced enrichment technology in the U.S. on an accelerated schedule. USEC would constru8ct and operate a modern, efficient, lest costly enrichment plant to supplement and replace a gaseous diffusion in moderation for more than 50 years. Gas centrifuge technology would represent a more efficient and less energy intensive uranium enrichment technology that the gaseous diffusion technology currently in use. The ACP would provide for significant local employment opportunities and otherwise contribute to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Slight impacts would result with respect to land use, historic and cultural resources, visual aesthetics, air quality, geologic and soil resources, water resources, ecological resources, socioeconomics, noise levels, transportation-related radiological hazards, occupational health and safety, and waste management. Approximately 24 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat would be lost. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.).

Preparation date: September 1, 2005 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2, BRUNSWICH COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA (TWENTIEFIFTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36421143; 11633 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2, near the mouth of Cape Fear River in Brunswick County, North Carolina is proposed. is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 25th 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 operating licenses are renewed, State regulatory agencies and the applicant would decide whether the plant would continue to operate based on factors such as the need for power or other matters within the state's jurisdiction or the purview of the owners. If the licenses are not renewed, the plant must shut down at or before the expiration dates of the current operation licenses, which are September 8, 2016 and December 27, 2014 for units 1 and 2, respectively. The plant is situated on 1,200 acres of land within a site boundary encompassing 962 acres. The protected area is surrounded by a perimeter fence contains two reactor buildings and the turbine, control, radioactive waste, and diesel generator buildings. Major administrative and support facilities cover 130 acres. The units have been operating since 1974 (Unit 2) and 1976 (Unit 1). Each unit uses a boiling water reactor and a steam-driven turbine generator manufactured by General Electric, a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from the Cape Fear River Estuary and discharges water into the Atlantic Ocean via a six-mile canal leading to Caswell Beach, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. As originally installed each unit was rated at 2,436 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 821 MW-electric. In 1996, the utility obtained the permission to increase the output of each of the units to 2,558 MW-thermal. Currently, each unit has a core thermal level of 2,923 MW-thermal, with Unit 1 capable of providing 958 MW-electric and Unit 2 capable of providing 951 MW-electric. Each 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. Eight transmission lines, extending a total of 388 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 Cape Fear River Estuary and deliver makeup water back to the Atlantic Ocean. 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.

AN - 16347579; 11615 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, located on the shores of Lake Michigan in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 23rd supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, the Nuclear Management Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this final 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. Nonradioactive 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 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.

The 5 passive treatment systems sampled in this study are located in the bituminous coal fields of western Pennsylvania and northern Maryland, and treat discharges from Pennsylvanian age coals. The precipitates are dominantly (>70%) goethite. Crystallinity varies throughout an individual system, and lower crystallinity is associated with enhanced sorption of trace metals. Degree of crystallinity (and subsequently morphology and trace metal associations) is a function of the treatment system and how rapidly Fe(II) is oxidized, forms precipitates, aggregates and settles. Precipitates formed earlier in the passive treatment systems tend to have the highest crystallinity and the lowest concentrations of trace metal cations. High surface area and cation vacancies within the goethite structure enable sorption and incorporation of metals from coal mine drainage-polluted waters. Sorption affinities follow the order of Zn > Co [asymptotic to] Ni > Mn. Cobalt and Ni are preferentially sorbed to Mn oxide phases when these phases are present. As pH increases in the individual CMD treatment systems toward the pH sub(pzc) of goethite, As sorption decreases and transition metal (Co, Mn, Ni and Zn) sorption increases. Sulfate, Na and Fe(II) concentrations may all influence the sorption of trace metals to the Fe hydroxide surface. Results of this study have implications not only for solids disposal and resource recovery but also for the optimization of passive CMD treatment systems.

AN - 36441361; 11666 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 - 36386278; 050490F-050313_0041 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 - 36380004; 050490F-050313_0010 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 - 36379781; 050490F-050313_0061 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 - 36379302; 050490F-050313_0068 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 - 36378762; 050490F-050313_0005 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.

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.

AN - 36378076; 050490F-050313_0023 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 - 36374980; 050490F-050313_0034 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 - 36374568; 050490F-050313_0042 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

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 - 36373492; 050490F-050313_0019 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 - 36373091; 050490F-050313_0022 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 - 36369697; 050490F-050313_0009 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 - 36366886; 050490F-050313_0004 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 - 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.

AN - 36366058; 050490F-050313_0075 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 - 36365260; 050490F-050313_0033 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 - 36364418; 050490F-050313_0072 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 - 36362036; 050490F-050313_0038 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.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: MILLSTONE POWER STATION, UNITS 2, AND 3, WATFORD, CONNECTICUT.(TWENTY-SECOND DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36377826; 050481F-050312_0001 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 final supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, 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. Millstone 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 withdrawals from and discharges to 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 nearshore 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.

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.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - NATIONAL ENRICHMENT FACILITY IN LEA COUNTY, NEW MEXICO. AN - 36372641; 050477F-050267_0001 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 final 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.

Preparation date: June 24, 2005 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 (TWENTY-FIRST FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 16343560; 11594 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Browns Ferry Nuclear (BFN) Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 in rural Alabama is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 21st supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, the Tennessee Valley Authority, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the three units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed units 1, 2, and 3 would be shutdown on or before expiration of the current licenses, the dates of which are December 20, 2013, June 28, 2014, and July 2, 2016 and, respectively. The 840-acre power station site is located on federally owned land abutting the Wheeler Reservoir, 30 miles west of Huntsville, Alabama, characterized by agricultural land uses and recreational uses, including fishing and recreational boaters. Each unit employs a boiling water reactor and a steam-driven turbine generator manufactured by General Electric Corporation. Each unit was licensed for an output of 3,293 megawatts-thermal (MW(t)). Commercial operation for units, 1, 2, and 3, began in 1974, 1975, and 1977 respectively. Unit 1 is inactive; work began in 2002 to bring Unit 1 up to current standards, and operation of the reactor is currently scheduled to resume 2007. All three units were shutdown in 1985 during a review of the TVA nuclear power program. Unit 2 returned to service in 1991, and Unit 3 resumed operation in November 1995. The BNF Plant completed an integrated plant improvement project for units 2 and 3; among improvement made were a five percent uprate in the original licensed thermal power for both units from 3,293to 3,458 MW(t). In June 2004, TVA submitted applications for extended power upates to 120 percent of the original licensed thermal power at each of the three BNF Plant units. These applications, if approved by the staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would take effect during the existing license terms, so the impacts of this uprate are considered in this supplemental EIS. All units feature two-loop, closed-cycle, pressurized-water reactors, licensed for a calculated electrical output of approximately 1,065 megawatts-electric (MW(e)). The units employ reactor coolant recalculating loops to the and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel; the cooling system withdraws water from the Wheeler Reservoir and discharges heated water back to the reservoir. The reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Seven 500-kilovolt (kV) connect the 500-kV BNF Plant switchyard to the transmission lines; one line transmits power to the Trinity substation, one line each to the West Point, Maury, and Union (Mississippi) substations, and one line to the Livestone substation. In addition, two 161-kV lines, one connecting the Athens substation and the other to the Trinity substation. All lines use a portion of four transmission line rights-of-way, one to the Maury substation, one to the Trinity substation, one to the Athens substation, and one to the Union substation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Wheeler Reservoir and deliver makeup water back to the Sound. Release of water to the Sound from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the Sound. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclide into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace other land uses for public use. Refusal to renew the license and the subsequent decommissioning of the units could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

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 - 67821597; 15891462 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.

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.

COOK NUCLEAR PLAND, UNITS NO. 1 AND 2, BERRIEN COUNTY, MICHIGAN (TWENTIETH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLAND, UNITS NO. 1 AND 2, BERRIEN COUNTY, MICHIGAN (TWENTIETH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36367783; 050467F-050185_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, located on the shore of Lake Michigan in Berrien County, Michigan is proposed to extend the licensed lives of the units for an additional 20 years in this 20th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Indiana Michigan Power Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating licenses are not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current licenses, which will occur on October 25, 2004 for Unit 1 and December 23, 2017 for Unit 2. The power station, which is located within in a 650-acre site on the shores of Lake Michigan, consists of two units, each of which is equipped with a four-loop pressurized water reactor designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a once-through cooling system withdrawing and discharging water to the Monticello Reservoir, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. Units 1 and 2 are rated at 3,304 megawatts (MW)-thermal and 3,468 MW-thermal, with corresponding electrical outputs of approximately 1,044 MW-electric and 1,117 MW-electric, respectively. Units 1 and 2 reactors were placed into service in August 1975 and July 1978, respectively, are housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Six 345-kilovolt and one 745-kilovolt transmission lines connect the units to the regional transmission grid; the lines extend an overall length of 227 miles. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Lake Michigan and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

Preparation date: May 5, 2005 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLAND, UNITS NO. 1 AND 2, BERRIEN COUNTY, MICHIGAN (TWENTIETH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). 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. The power station, which is located within in a 650-acre site on the shores of Lake Michigan, consists of two units, each of which is equipped with a four-loop pressurized water reactor designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a once-through cooling system withdrawing and discharging water to the Monticello Reservoir, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. Units 1 and 2 are rated at 3,304 megawatts (MW)-thermal and 3,468 MW-thermal, with corresponding electrical outputs of approximately 1,044 MW-electric and 1,117 MW-electric, respectively. Units 1 and 2 reactors were placed into service in August 1975 and July 1978, respectively, are housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Six 345-kilovolt and one 745-kilovolt transmission lines connect the units to the regional transmission grid; the lines extend an overall length of 227 miles. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Lake Michigan and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Preparation date: MARCH 16, 2005 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - A high-resolution TEM-AEM, pH titration, and modeling study of Zn (super 2+) coprecipitation with ferrihydrite AN - 51624234; 2006-022149 AB - Experiments of Zn (super 2+) and Fe (super 3+) coprecipitation as a function of pH were conducted in the laboratory at ambient temperature and pressure. X-ray diffraction patterns of the coprecipitates show two broad peaks at 0.149 and 0.258 nm, which is consistent with published patterns for pure 2-line ferrihydrite. Zn (super 2+) uptake occurred at pH> or =5 while Fe (super 3+) precipitation occurred between pH 3 and 4, although both Zn (super 2+) and Fe (super 3+) were present in the same solution during the entire range of pH titration. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy shows that the coprecipitates are 2 to 6 nm sized single crystalline particles but aggregated to 50 to 400 nm sized clusters. Analytical electron microscopy indicated that the 5% atomic Zn with respect to Fe was homogeneously distributed. No segregated phases were found in the clusters or at single crystal edges, which is consistent with published extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) results at similar Zn/(Zn + Fe) ratios. Hence, occlusion and surface precipitation may be excluded as possible coprecipitation mechanisms. The bulk solution Zn (super 2+) sorption edge was fitted to both solid solution and generalized diffuse layer surface complexation models. However, a solid solution model is inconsistent with published EXAFS results that show tetrahedral polydentate Zn (super 2+) complexes sharing apices with Fe (super 3+) octahedra.

In this study, novel sediment gel probes containing immobilized FeS or MnS particles were evaluated for their ability to concentrate and detect reactive heavy metals in solution. MnS-containing gels were more effective than FeS gels at concentrating most metals in solution external to the gels, but they were more difficult to prepare and use. Copper reacted with FeS in gel probes to form one or more secondary sulfide minerals insoluble in 1 N HCl. The pixel density of digital images of these gels was highly correlated with the concentration of copper in gels and total copper in solution, suggesting a method for rapid screening of bioavailable heavy metals. Copper added to Youghiogheny River (PA, USA) sediments could be detected using this approach. JF - Environmental Geology AU - Edenborn, Harry M AD - U.S. Department of Energy, Mail Stop 84-108, P.O.

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.)

AN - 36438324; 11360 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, located on the shores of Lake Michigan in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 23rd supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, the Nuclear Management Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the licenses are renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating licenses are not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is October 5, 2010, for Unit 1 and March 8, 2013, for Unit 2. The power station, which is located within in a 1,260-acre site, 1,050 acres of which are used for agricultural purposes. Each of the units uses a pressurized light-water reactor designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a once-through cooling system, which withdrawals from and discharges to Lake Michigan, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. Each unit is rated at 1,540 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding net electrical output of approximately 518 MW-electric. Units 1 and 2, which were placed in service in December 1970 and October 1972, respectively, are housed in vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Non-radioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four 345-kilovolt transmission lines, extending nine to 46.5 miles, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from Lake Michigan and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere.

Preparation date: January 23, 2005 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANTS UNITS 1 AND 2, MANITOWOC COUNTY, WISCONSIN (TWENTY-THIRD DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANTS UNITS 1 AND 2, MANITOWOC COUNTY, WISCONSIN (TWENTY-THIRD DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36371459; 040301D-050021_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, located on the shores of Lake Michigan in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 23rd supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, the Nuclear Management Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the licenses are renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating licenses are not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is October 5, 2010, for Unit 1 and March 8, 2013, for Unit 2. The power station, which is located within in a 1,260-acre site, 1,050 acres of which are used for agricultural purposes. Each of the units uses a pressurized light-water reactor designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a once-through cooling system, which withdrawals from and discharges to Lake Michigan, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. Each unit is rated at 1,540 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding net electrical output of approximately 518 MW-electric. Units 1 and 2, which were placed in service in December 1970 and October 1972, respectively, are housed in vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Non-radioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four 345-kilovolt transmission lines, extending nine to 46.5 miles, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from Lake Michigan and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

[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.

[Part 1 of 10] T2 - CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A MIXED OXIDE FUEL FABRICATION FACILITY AT THE SAVANNAH RIVER SITE, SOUTH CAROLINA. AN - 905874575; 11362-3_0001 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.

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 - 16341968; 11362 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.

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.

AN - 67511875; 15764480 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.

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.

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. Cutting-edge scientific advances are being combined with experience and sound environmental engineering in a broadly integrated and comprehensive approach that exemplifies socalled "third-generation R&D." The project is potentially a model for other cleanup activities.

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.

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.

[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.

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.

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 1ms 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.

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 - 36363472; 11241-040520_0001 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

AN - 67067429; 15482601 AB - We reviewed articles using computational RF dosimetry to compare the Specific Anthropomorphic Mannequin (SAM) to anatomically correct models of the human head. Published conclusions based on such comparisons have varied widely. We looked for reasons that might cause apparently similar comparisons to produce dissimilar results. We also looked at the information needed to adequately compare the results of computational RF dosimetry studies. We concluded studies were not comparable because of differences in definitions, models, and methodology. Therefore we propose a protocol, developed by an IEEE standards group, as an initial step in alleviating this problem. The protocol calls for a benchmark validation study comparing the SAM phantom to two anatomically correct models of the human head. It also establishes common definitions and reporting requirements that will increase the comparability of all computational RF dosimetry studies of the human head.

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.

AN - 66902220; 15386123 AB - Laboratory sediment tests were conducted to evaluate the bioaccumulation and photo-induced toxicity of fluoranthene in larval and adult life-stages of the midge, Chironomus tentans. In the first of 2 experiments, fourth-instar and adult C. tentans exposed to spiked sediments (204 microg 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 microg 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.

The aim of this study was to determine the origin, the age, and the quality of groundwater resources in the limestone aquifer. The results showed that most of the groundwater pumped from wells for irrigation and drinking water supply is directly recharged in the coastal plain. It contains up to 30 percent of groundwater recharged in the high mountains. The elevated solute content of the groundwater in the coastal plain compared to that of the spring waters is due to different intensive agricultural activities rather than seawater intrusion. The relatively long mean residence time of the spring waters of about ten years contradicts the previous hydrogeological assumption that the low magnesium/calcium ratio is due to the fact that hydrochemical equilibrium has not been established.

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.

COOK NUCLEAR PLAND, UNITS NO. 1 AND 2, BERRIEN COUNTY, MICHIGAN (TWENTIETH 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: DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLAND, UNITS NO. 1 AND 2, BERRIEN COUNTY, MICHIGAN (TWENTIETH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36366794; 11177-040452_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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

AN - 66887173; 15373365 AB - From October 1999 through September 2000, particulate matter (PM) with aerodynamic diameter > or =2.5 microm (PM2.5) mass and composition were measured at the National Energy Technology Laboratory Pittsburgh site, with a particle concentrator Brigham Young University-organic sampling system and a tapered element oscillating microbalance (TEOM) monitor. PM2.5 measurements had also been obtained with TEOM monitors located in the Pittsburgh, PA, area, and at sites in Ohio, including Steubenville, Columbus, and Athens. The PM data from all these sites were analyzed on high PM days; PM2.5 TEOM particulate mass at all sites was generally associated with transitions from locally high barometric pressure to lower pressure. Elevated concentrations occurred with transport of PM from outside the local region in advance of frontal passages as the local pressure decreased. During high-pressure 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.

AN - 71984525; 15177736 AB - This paper describes a generalized methodology that enables the translation of expert knowledge about any complex process involved in a remedial decision into easy-to-use decision tools. The methodology is applied to evaluate reductive dechlorination as a remedial possibility at sites contaminated with trichloroethene (TCE), building on an existing protocol/scoring system put forth by the US Air Force and the US EPA. An alternate scoring system is proposed, which has two major advantages, namely that it: (i) attributes relative weights to findings based on expert beliefs; and (ii) systematically includes negative weights for negative findings. The ability of the proposed scoring system to assess the bioattenuation potential of TCE is demonstrated using data from extensively studied sites.

(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.

(SIXTEENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, ROCK ISLAND COUNTY, ILLINOIS. (SIXTEENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36370157; 10863-040312_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station Rock Island County, Illinois is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 16th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, South Carolina Electric and Gas Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. One issue was identified as potentially significant, specifically, electric shock from induced current along transmission line corridors. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which August 14, 2012. The power station, which is located within a 871-acre site on the east bank of Pool 14 of the Mississippi River between Lock and Dams 13 and 14, consists of two units equipped with nuclear steam supply systems, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that use boiling water reactors, once-through condenser cooling systems that withdrawal from and discharge to Pool 14, closed-cycle cooling water systems, and steam generators connected to the reactor vessel. Each unit is rated at 2,957 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 930 MW-electric. Units 1 and 2, which were respectively placed in service in February and March of 1983, are refueled on a 24-month schedule. The reactors are housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Five 345-kilovolt transmission lines, with a combined length of approximately 110 miles, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Pool 14 and deliver makeup water back to the pool. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the impoundment. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

The dietary essential fatty acids are linoleic and a-linolenic acid. Two w-3 fatty acids with longer carbon chains, eicosahexaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), can be synthesized in humans from a-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 w-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.

AN - 66770718; 15296293 AB - The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgates standards for air pollutants and drinking water contaminants, as part of its mandate to protect public health and welfare. The Agency also assesses the health risks associated with hundreds of chemical substances, often developing quantitative toxicity and cancer potency benchmarks. This article compares EPA standards and benchmark values to those of other countries and other agencies. This includes the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS), the national primary drinking water regulations (NPDWR), and benchmark values from the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS). Results show that the NAAQS are generally comparable to or less strict than the air quality standards of other countries and international organizations. The NPDWR tend to be less strict than the water quality standards of other countries for inorganic chemicals, and they are more strict about as often as they are less strict for organic chemicals. Reference values for toxicity and cancer potency derived in EPA health assessments posted in the IRIS database are less stringentthan 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.

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.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3, GRUNDY COUNTY, ILLINOIS (SEVENTEENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36362583; 10860-040309_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for the Dresden Nuclear Power Station, units 2 and 3, in Grundy County, Illinois is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 17th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Exelon Generation Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the licenses are renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating licenses are not renewed, units 2 and 3 the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current licenses, which expire December 22, 2009 and January 12, 2011, respectively. The power station, which is located on the south bank of the Illinois River at the confluence of the Des Plaines and Kankakee rivers in the Goose Lake Township of Grundy County, consists of two units equipped with nuclear steam supply systems, designed by General Electric Company, that use boiling water reactors; each reactor has a design rating for a net electrical power output of 912 megawatts electric. The cooling system can operate in either of two modes. In the indirect open-cycle mode,m once-through cooling water from the Kankakee River is used to remove heat from the main (turbine) condensers via the circulating water system and from other auxiliary equipment via the service water system. The heated effluent is conculated through a cooling canal and pond before being discharged to the Illinois River. In the closed-cycle mode, heated effluent is circulated through mechanical draft cooling towers, the recycled through the condensers with limited make-up water withdrawn from the Kankakee River. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Five 345-kilovolt transmission lines, extending a total of 220.5 miles, connect the power station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers; Dresden provides enough electricity to supply the needs of 350,000 industries, commercial establishments, and residences. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Kankakee River and deliver makeup water back to the Illinois River. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore and downstream aquatic ecosystems of the Illinois River. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

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.

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.

AN - 66684176; 15242153 AB - Supply curves were prepared for coal-fired power plants in the contiguous United States switching to Wyoming's Powder River Basin (PRB) low-sulfur coal. Up to 625 plants, representing approximately 44% of the nameplate capacity of all coal-fired plants, could switch. If all switched, more than dollars 8.8 billion additional capital would be required and the cost of electricity would increase by up to dollars 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 kilowatt-hour. Average cost of S emissions reduction could be as high as dollars 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 dollars 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.

AN - 17982130; 5929237 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.

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. The data suggests that the joint administration of BPA and GB-10 may improve the therapeutic efficacy of BNCT. GB-10 is a potential boron carrier for BNCT of head and neck tumours and for BNCT-FNT.

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.

SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION, FAIRFIELD COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA. (FIFTEENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 16354741; 10647 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Virgil C Summer Nuclear Station in fairfield County, South Carolina is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 15th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, South Carolina Electric and Gas Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is August 6, 2022. The power station, which is located within in a 2,245-acre site in a largely rural area 15 miles west of Winnsboro and 26 miles northwest of Columbia, consists of one unit equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Monticello Reservoir, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. The unit is rated at 2,775 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 966 MW-electric. The reactor, which was placed in service in January 1983 and was upgraded in 1999, is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Ten transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Monticello Reservoir and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

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

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

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

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

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

The highest gel fraction was achieved at 1% concentration of TMAIC at the dose level of 200 kGy compared to other concentrations. Mechanical properties of the composites were highly dependent on the gel fraction of the polymer and volume fraction of glass fiber reinforcement in the composite. Optimal conditions to synthesize a PBS/GF composite reaching maximum value of bending strength were 1% TMAIC, 67% fiber volume fraction, and irradiation dose of 200 kGy. These synthesized PBS/GF composites can be degraded by enzymes produced from the microorganism population in soil.

Two types of sand were used (calcite and silica). The release of radon from these samples was studied. Results showed that radon release from the calcite-cement samples was affected by the sand ratios. It was also noticed that the release changed with the size of the sand particles. Same trends were observed from silica-cement samples. In addition, it was found that radon exhalation from calcite-cement samples were less than that of silica-cement samples. The results were explained by the creation of closed free spaces in the samples, which gave radon atoms the possibility to decay in these free spaces rather than exhalation.

GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, ONTARIO, WAYNE COUNTY, NEW YORK. (FOURTEENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36434252; 10597 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna) near Ontario in Wayne County, New York is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 14th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which September 18, 2009. The power station, which is located on a 488-acre site four miles north of Ontario on the south shore of Lake Ontario, consists of one unit equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a once-through cooling system, and two identical closed heat-transfer loops, each of which includes a reactor coolant p0ump and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. The unit is rated at 1,520 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 490 MW-electric. The reactor, which was placed in service in 1970 and was upgraded in 1972, is housed within a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. Plant cooling is provided by water is obtained from and returned to Lake Ontario. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four 0.6-mile 115-kilovolt (kV) underground transmission lines deliver electricity generated by the plant to a substation on the south side of Lake Road, which, in turn, sends the electricity to the regional grid via five 3.5-mile 115-kV overhead lines the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Lake Ontario at a rate of 354,600 gallons per minute (gpm) and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the lake from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the 175 acres of the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw 14,600 gpm from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

AN - 71567888; 14683638 AB - A monoclonal antibody (MAb)-gold biosensor chip with low-temperature laser-induced fluorescence detection for analysis of DNA-carcinogen adducts is described. Optimization of the detection limit, dynamic range, and biosensing applicability of the MAb-gold biosensor chip was achieved by: (1) using dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate (DSP)) as a protein linker and (2) employing recombinant protein A to provide oriented immobilization of the MAbs. The use of DSP, which has a short methylene chain length, led to faster protein binding kinetics and higher protein surface density than a longer dithiobis(succinimidyl undecanoate) (DSU) linker. The incorporation of recombinant protein A increased the distance between the oriented MAb-bound analytes and the gold surface. The increased distance minimized fluorescence quenching, resulting in about a 10-fold increase in the fluorescence signal in comparison with a chip without protein A. The improved chip architecture was used to demonstrate that biosensing of two structurally similar benzo[a]pyrene (BP)-derived DNA adducts, BP-6-N7Gua and BP-diolepoxide-10-N2dG, bound to two specific MAbs immobilized from a mixture at the same address on the chip, is feasible. These mutagenic adducts are formed by one-electron oxidation and monooxygenation pathways, and are depurinating and stable DNA adducts, respectively. It is shown that the DNA adducts can be easily identified at the same address using time-resolved, low-temperature laser-based fluorescence spectroscopy. The current limit of detection is in the low femtomole range. These results indicate that a single biosensor chip consisting of a Au/DSP/protein A/MAb nano-assembly, with analyte-specific MAbs and low-temperature fluorescence detection should be suitable for simultaneous detection and quantitation of the above adducts, as well as the luminescent antigens for which selective MAbs exist.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Khan District run along the eastern margin of Sulaiman Range and make a part of middle Siwaliks. The rocks are of vital importance for uranium exploration. These uranium accumulations are paleo-channel related and occur at places where the paleo-channel is ducking in. The ducking out paleo channels are devoid of subsurface uranium mineralization despite of very good surface signature of radioactivity. The genetic model proposed for the source of these uranium deposits may be attributed to the primary rocks of the Himalayas coupled with volcanic tuff and ash falls derived from the volcanic activities occurred in the northern & western parts of Pakistan. The uranium was liberated from the primary rocks, transported in solution along the fluvial sediments and deposited at suitable locations. Later enrichment accumulations have resulted in the formation of uranium ore accumulations. Nangar Nai uranium mineralization is primarily a paleo-channel related ore body that was formed well below the present day water table in the form of a complex paleo-channel cum ground water oxidized leach type sandstone deposit. The uranium was mainly transported and deposited by the paleo-channel and enriched by the accumulation phenomenon. Further enrichment was provided by the indigenous volcanic source. Due to later tectonic uplift of strata a part of the uranium-bearing horizon has been exposed to the surface, which was oxidized and eroded. Major part of the ducking in paleo-channels has developed a redox interface below the water table and resulted in an ore body. Remobilization has caused leaching of uranium from western extremities of the ore body that has been transported to the eastern peripheries in the form of further enrichment on existing ore accumulations. This has resulted in positive disequilibrium of uranium ore. JF - Geological Bulletin, University of Peshawar AU - Bhatti, Khalid Javed AU - Mazhar, Faiq AU - Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman A2 - Shah, M.

Helicopter electromagnetic (HEM) surveys are being used to map the distribution of produced water around impoundments. Results of these surveys can be grouped into three different categories: 1) areas where the produced water is more conductive than the shallow groundwater and HEM surveys can easily discern the plume of infiltrating produced water; 2) areas where the produced water exhibits the same conductivity as natural groundwater and the plume cannot be detected (in this case, the produced water is not degrading the native groundwater and is not of concern); and 3) areas where the produced water is less conductive than natural groundwater and the produced water has diluted the solutes and improved the quality of the native groundwater. Examples of all three categories have been identified. Such knowledge will allow impoundments to be designed better and will facilitate the intelligent use of produced water. Based on the data, it appears that this technique will prove to be useful to land use planners, natural gas producing companies, and state regulatory personnel.

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

Among soil parameters, organic matter and fulvic acids strongly correlate with caesium and plutonium isotopes, especially in the 0-10 cm layer. (super 137) Cs and (super 239+240) Pu are distributed rather similarly over the 0-10 cm and 10-20 cm layers. At locations with high contents of sand (82-93%) along the South China Sea coast, the downward percolation by rainwater results in a higher accumulation of (super 239+240) Pu and (super 137) Cs in the 10-20 cm layer. The mean (super 137) Cs/ (super 90) Sr inventory ratio is 9.3+ or -2.2, and the correlation is weak between these isotopes.

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

Because of coastal eutrophication, degradation and loss of habitat, and declines in fish stocks, human activities have pushed further and further offshore into deeper water out of necessity. Technological advances continue to strive to make activities such as trawl fishing, oil and gas exploration, mineral extraction, and the laying of telecommunication cables in deeper water more cost effective and feasible. Effective management decisions ensuring that deep-water ecosystems are sustainable can only occur with the availability of sound science. Between November 28 - December 2, 2005, deep-sea scientists from around the world will share with each other insights into: a) coldwater coral taxonomy and molecular genetics; b) habitat mapping, sampling and characterization tools and techniques of coldwater corals and other important deep-sea structural habitats; c) geology, paleontology and climate change using coldwater corals; d) biodiversity and microbial and invertebrate associations with coldwater corals; e) fisheries and fish ecology; f) ecosystem-based approaches to effectively managing important deep-sea habitat; g) biology, growth and reproduction of coldwater corals; h) and the conservation and effective management of the deep-sea.

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

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

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

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

A common characteristic of these studies is that they typically assume that fishermen have current information on catch rates at all fishing sites in the fishery, which implies a high degree of information sharing among fishermen while at sea. Using data from the Hawaii longline fishery, this paper tests this hypothesis, analyzing whether varying assumptions on information available to fishermen for basing spatial choices affects predictions regarding those decisions.

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

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

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

The resulting amine-enriched silicon sorbent (SBA-15) has been proven to be competitive with existing environmental CO2 controlled life sorbents based on the immobilised amine technology. XPS analysis has indicated that the amine groups (N1s Peak) were incorporated onto the surfaces of this amine-based sorbent in the range of 7%. The performance of the SBA-15 was comparable to the commercially available immobilised amine sorbent (IAS).

Trajectories of types 1, 2 and 3 prevail in September/October-December, January-March/April and May-August, respectively. A source-receptor modelling was performed for each type of trajectories individually using the Positive Matrix Factorisation (PMF) technique. Six or seven sources were extracted for each trajectory type, including soil dust, primary and secondary emissions from local burning (LB), vehicle/road dust, sea salt, Cl-depleted marine aerosols and long-range transport (LRT). LRT contributes little to the coarse mass, but accounts for 50%, 34% and 33% of the fine mass in trajectories of types 1, 2 and 3, respectively. More than two- thirds of the fine mode sulphate are attributed to LRT and associated with ammonium. The comparison of LRT and LB source profiles suggests that air masses arriving from north-northeasterly trajectories are more polluted than those coming from the southwest. Therefore the contribution of LRT's aerosols further enhances the seasonal contrast in the particulate concentration with maximum in winter and minimum in summer. Various mechanisms of sulphate formation in LRT and LB were suggested based on the concentration ratios of [SO sub(4) super(2- )]/[K super(+)], [SO sub(4) super(2-)]/[BC] and [NH sub(4) super(+)]/[SO sub(4) super(2-)] for the two sources.

Even in this analysis, cost is an important consideration, particularly the cost of complying with the myriad environmental obligations that will govern a facility's placement in cold standby or closure, because numerous environmental requirements attach to closing a plant. Two of the most important sources of those requirements for facilities that manage hazardous waste and injection-well facilities are the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Plants must hold a RCRA permit to operate hazardous waste storage units, hazardous waste landfills, and hazardous waste container storage areas, which must also be closed in accord with that statute, especially the unit-specific requirements for landfills and surface impoundments. The SDWA governs plants with underground injection wells, which must have an Underground Injection Control permit to operate.

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

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

The samples were analyzed by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). They were irradiated and counted without any preconcentration. Higher levels of T-Hg concentration were found in samples at the sites with extensive small-scale 'galamsey' gold mining activities than at the sites with low small-scale 'galamsey' activities. Concentrations varied between 6.80-19.82 mg/l for water and 28.90-84.30 mg/kg in sediment at sites with extensive small-scale mining activities. At low small-scale mining sites concentration levels for T-Hg varied between 0.50-9.10 mg/l and 1.20-22.75 mg/kg in water and sediment, respectively. The concentration levels of T-Hg in water from all the sampling sites are in excess of the WHO tolerable limit of 0.001 mg/l for drinking water.

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

Trajectories of types 1, 2 and 3 prevail in September/October-December, January-March/April and May-August, respectively. A source-receptor modelling was performed for each type of trajectories individually using the Positive Matrix Factorisation (PMF) technique. Six or seven sources were extracted for each trajectory type, including soil dust, primary and secondary emissions from local burning (LB), vehicle/road dust, sea salt, Cl-depleted marine aerosols and long-range transport (LRT). LRT contributes little to the coarse mass, but accounts for 50%, 34% and 33% of the fine mass in trajectories of types 1, 2 and 3, respectively. More than two- thirds of the fine mode sulphate are attributed to LRT and associated with ammonium. The comparison of LRT and LB source profiles suggests that air masses arriving from north-northeasterly trajectories are more polluted than those coming from the southwest. Therefore the contribution of LRT's aerosols further enhances the seasonal contrast in the particulate concentration with maximum in winter and minimum in summer. Various mechanisms of sulphate formation in LRT and LB were suggested based on the concentration ratios of [SO sub(4) super(2- )]/[K super(+)], [SO sub(4) super(2-)]/[BC] and [NH sub(4) super(+)]/[SO sub(4) super(2-)] for the two sources.

Robinson Steam Electric Plant, located on a site in Darlinton and Chesterfield counties South Carolina for an additional 20 years is proposed in this 13th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Carolina Power and Light Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. The remaining 23 issues that apply to the unit are addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is July 21, 2010. The power station is located on a 6,020-acre site, which includes the 2,250-acre Lake Robinson. The Darlington County Internal Combustion Turbine Electric Plant is also located on the site. The nuclear unit consists of a pressurized water reactor, with a three-loop Westinghouse steam supply system. The unit iw rates at 2,30 megawatts (MW) thermal, with a corresponding nominal net electrical output of approximately 70 MW-electric. The reactor, which was placed in service in 1970, is housed within a dry, reinforced concrete, steel-lined containment structure. The unit reactor system consists of a pressurized-water reactor and its associated coolant system designed by Combustion Engineering. The steam and power conversion system, including its turbine generator, is designed to permit the generation of a net electrical output of 276 megawatts (MWe). The reactor is licensed to allow operation at the system's full-rate power level of 1,500 MW-thermal. Plant cooling is provided by the three-loop cooling system, Cooling water is obtained from and discharged to Lake Robinson. Two groundwater production wells provide makeup water for Unit 1 and sanitary water for both units 1 and 2; three additional wells are used to provide makeup water for Unit 1. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four 230-kilovolt transmission lines, extending a total of 46 miles deliver electricity generated by the plant to the regional grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewal would allow for the continued operation of Unit 2, providing power to the applicant's consumer electrical grid and continuing to support regional population and economic growth. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw million gallons of process water from the Lake Robinson and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the lake from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the nearshore area. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

If the bed is a perfusion-type material (containing a binary distribution of large and small pores), colloidal-size microorganisms are subject only to pore exclusion, while all molecules are subject to size exclusion among the various pores. Thus, microorganisms elute first, followed by macromolecules, and then small molecules. Coupling this separation method to an ICP magnetic sector mass spectrometer provides a sensitive, direct means to study the microbial uptake of heavy metals (i.e., uranium) from their surrounding environments. Multiple metal ions can be monitored in the microorganism and in the surrounding solution. In this way, definitive information can be provided for the remediation of radioactive waste sites. The effect of uranium on microbial growth is also discussed.

AN - 71380691; 14626326 AB - The uncertainty band associated with the transmission curve for 100 kVp x ray in lead was determined using Monte Carlo methods and the sensitivity analysis approach. All uncertainty sources (statistical, systematical and the uncertainties arising from the diversity of x-ray tubes) were taken into account. The transmission of 100 kVp x ray in Syrian building bricks was then computed together with the uncertainty associated with it. Finally, the lead equivalent thicknesses for 10, 15, and 20-cm-thick bricks were estimated. The results are in good agreement with experimental results.

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

AN - 36426711; 10500 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research (CMR) Building at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New Mexico is proposed. The CMR Building, constructed in the early 1950s, houses most of LANL's analytical chemistry (AC) and materials characterization (MC) capabilities. Other capabilities at the CMR Building include actinide processing, waste characterization, and nondestructive analysis that support a variety of nuclear materials management programs. In 1992, the Department of Energy (DOE) initiated planning and implementation of CMR Building upgrades to address specific safety, reliability, consolidation, and security and safeguard issues. In 1997 and 1998, a series of operational, safety, and seismic issues surfaced regarding the long-term viability of the CMR Building. Based on these findings, the DOE determined that the extensive upgrades original planned would be much more expensive and time consuming and of only marginal effectiveness. As a result, DOE decided to perform only the upgrades necessary to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the CMR Building through 2010 and to seek an alternative path for long-term reliability. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would involve continued use of the existing CMR Building, and four construction options are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 1), the project would involve construction of two or three buildings at the LANL within the 40-acre Technical Area 55 (TA-55) site, located 1.1 miles south of the Los Alamos town site. Analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities would be moved from the existing CMR Building into the new buildings using a phased approach and operations would resume at the new buildings in a staged manner, providing for a period of operational overlap between the CMR Building and the new Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Building Replacement (CMRR). The existing CMR Building would be dispositioned; three disposition options are considered, including reuse of the building and decontamination, decommissioning, and partial or full demolition of the building. One of the new buildings within TA-55 would provide administrative offices and support activities and would include cafeteria space and lite laboratory space used for such activities as glovebox mockup, training, and general research and development. The lite laboratory space would contain only small quantities of nuclear materials. The CMRR would provide for analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities, AC and MC capabilities consolidated from the Plutonium Facility located within YA-55, special nuclear materials storage, large containment vessel handling capability, Mission contingency space, and nuclear materials operational capabilities and space for non-LANL users. Existing CMR capabilities and activities not proposed for inclusion within the CMRR facility would include the Wing 9 Hot Cell operations, medical isotope production, uranium production and surveillance activities, nonproliferation training, and other capabilities that are available elsewhere at DOE sites other than LANL. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the CMRR would provide for safe, up-to-date AC and MC research capabilities within one consolidate locations, along with space for related and unrelated research. Peak construction activities would employ 300 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would displace 26.75 acres of land and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, though the area is highly disturbed already. Construction requirements would consume well over 3.0 million gallons of water and approximately 315 megawatt-hours of electricity. Approximately 4,800 cubic meters of concrete and 407 metric tons of steel would be required. The project would generate approximately 535 metric tons of nonhazardous waste. Removal and transportation of hazardous materials from the CMR Building would slightly increase the hazard of the release of radioactive materials, but an accident causing a significant release would be extremely unlikely.

Removal and transportation of hazardous materials from the CMR Building would slightly increase the hazard of the release of radioactive materials, but an accident causing a significant release would be extremely unlikely.

AN - 36356903; 10500-030522_0014 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research (CMR) Building at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New Mexico is proposed. The CMR Building, constructed in the early 1950s, houses most of LANL's analytical chemistry (AC) and materials characterization (MC) capabilities. Other capabilities at the CMR Building include actinide processing, waste characterization, and nondestructive analysis that support a variety of nuclear materials management programs. In 1992, the Department of Energy (DOE) initiated planning and implementation of CMR Building upgrades to address specific safety, reliability, consolidation, and security and safeguard issues. In 1997 and 1998, a series of operational, safety, and seismic issues surfaced regarding the long-term viability of the CMR Building. Based on these findings, the DOE determined that the extensive upgrades original planned would be much more expensive and time consuming and of only marginal effectiveness. As a result, DOE decided to perform only the upgrades necessary to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the CMR Building through 2010 and to seek an alternative path for long-term reliability. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would involve continued use of the existing CMR Building, and four construction options are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 1), the project would involve construction of two or three buildings at the LANL within the 40-acre Technical Area 55 (TA-55) site, located 1.1 miles south of the Los Alamos town site. Analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities would be moved from the existing CMR Building into the new buildings using a phased approach and operations would resume at the new buildings in a staged manner, providing for a period of operational overlap between the CMR Building and the new Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Building Replacement (CMRR). The existing CMR Building would be dispositioned; three disposition options are considered, including reuse of the building and decontamination, decommissioning, and partial or full demolition of the building. One of the new buildings within TA-55 would provide administrative offices and support activities and would include cafeteria space and lite laboratory space used for such activities as glovebox mockup, training, and general research and development. The lite laboratory space would contain only small quantities of nuclear materials. The CMRR would provide for analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities, AC and MC capabilities consolidated from the Plutonium Facility located within YA-55, special nuclear materials storage, large containment vessel handling capability, Mission contingency space, and nuclear materials operational capabilities and space for non-LANL users. Existing CMR capabilities and activities not proposed for inclusion within the CMRR facility would include the Wing 9 Hot Cell operations, medical isotope production, uranium production and surveillance activities, nonproliferation training, and other capabilities that are available elsewhere at DOE sites other than LANL. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the CMRR would provide for safe, up-to-date AC and MC research capabilities within one consolidate locations, along with space for related and unrelated research. Peak construction activities would employ 300 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would displace 26.75 acres of land and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, though the area is highly disturbed already. Construction requirements would consume well over 3.0 million gallons of water and approximately 315 megawatt-hours of electricity. Approximately 4,800 cubic meters of concrete and 407 metric tons of steel would be required. The project would generate approximately 535 metric tons of nonhazardous waste.

AN - 36355507; 10500-030522_0010 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research (CMR) Building at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New Mexico is proposed. The CMR Building, constructed in the early 1950s, houses most of LANL's analytical chemistry (AC) and materials characterization (MC) capabilities. Other capabilities at the CMR Building include actinide processing, waste characterization, and nondestructive analysis that support a variety of nuclear materials management programs. In 1992, the Department of Energy (DOE) initiated planning and implementation of CMR Building upgrades to address specific safety, reliability, consolidation, and security and safeguard issues. In 1997 and 1998, a series of operational, safety, and seismic issues surfaced regarding the long-term viability of the CMR Building. Based on these findings, the DOE determined that the extensive upgrades original planned would be much more expensive and time consuming and of only marginal effectiveness. As a result, DOE decided to perform only the upgrades necessary to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the CMR Building through 2010 and to seek an alternative path for long-term reliability. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would involve continued use of the existing CMR Building, and four construction options are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 1), the project would involve construction of two or three buildings at the LANL within the 40-acre Technical Area 55 (TA-55) site, located 1.1 miles south of the Los Alamos town site. Analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities would be moved from the existing CMR Building into the new buildings using a phased approach and operations would resume at the new buildings in a staged manner, providing for a period of operational overlap between the CMR Building and the new Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Building Replacement (CMRR). The existing CMR Building would be dispositioned; three disposition options are considered, including reuse of the building and decontamination, decommissioning, and partial or full demolition of the building. One of the new buildings within TA-55 would provide administrative offices and support activities and would include cafeteria space and lite laboratory space used for such activities as glovebox mockup, training, and general research and development. The lite laboratory space would contain only small quantities of nuclear materials. The CMRR would provide for analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities, AC and MC capabilities consolidated from the Plutonium Facility located within YA-55, special nuclear materials storage, large containment vessel handling capability, Mission contingency space, and nuclear materials operational capabilities and space for non-LANL users. Existing CMR capabilities and activities not proposed for inclusion within the CMRR facility would include the Wing 9 Hot Cell operations, medical isotope production, uranium production and surveillance activities, nonproliferation training, and other capabilities that are available elsewhere at DOE sites other than LANL. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the CMRR would provide for safe, up-to-date AC and MC research capabilities within one consolidate locations, along with space for related and unrelated research. Peak construction activities would employ 300 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would displace 26.75 acres of land and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, though the area is highly disturbed already. Construction requirements would consume well over 3.0 million gallons of water and approximately 315 megawatt-hours of electricity. Approximately 4,800 cubic meters of concrete and 407 metric tons of steel would be required. The project would generate approximately 535 metric tons of nonhazardous waste. Removal and transportation of hazardous materials from the CMR Building would slightly increase the hazard of the release of radioactive materials, but an accident causing a significant release would be extremely unlikely.

AN - 36354229; 10500-030522_0011 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research (CMR) Building at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New Mexico is proposed. The CMR Building, constructed in the early 1950s, houses most of LANL's analytical chemistry (AC) and materials characterization (MC) capabilities. Other capabilities at the CMR Building include actinide processing, waste characterization, and nondestructive analysis that support a variety of nuclear materials management programs. In 1992, the Department of Energy (DOE) initiated planning and implementation of CMR Building upgrades to address specific safety, reliability, consolidation, and security and safeguard issues. In 1997 and 1998, a series of operational, safety, and seismic issues surfaced regarding the long-term viability of the CMR Building. Based on these findings, the DOE determined that the extensive upgrades original planned would be much more expensive and time consuming and of only marginal effectiveness. As a result, DOE decided to perform only the upgrades necessary to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the CMR Building through 2010 and to seek an alternative path for long-term reliability. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would involve continued use of the existing CMR Building, and four construction options are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 1), the project would involve construction of two or three buildings at the LANL within the 40-acre Technical Area 55 (TA-55) site, located 1.1 miles south of the Los Alamos town site. Analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities would be moved from the existing CMR Building into the new buildings using a phased approach and operations would resume at the new buildings in a staged manner, providing for a period of operational overlap between the CMR Building and the new Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Building Replacement (CMRR). The existing CMR Building would be dispositioned; three disposition options are considered, including reuse of the building and decontamination, decommissioning, and partial or full demolition of the building. One of the new buildings within TA-55 would provide administrative offices and support activities and would include cafeteria space and lite laboratory space used for such activities as glovebox mockup, training, and general research and development. The lite laboratory space would contain only small quantities of nuclear materials. The CMRR would provide for analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities, AC and MC capabilities consolidated from the Plutonium Facility located within YA-55, special nuclear materials storage, large containment vessel handling capability, Mission contingency space, and nuclear materials operational capabilities and space for non-LANL users. Existing CMR capabilities and activities not proposed for inclusion within the CMRR facility would include the Wing 9 Hot Cell operations, medical isotope production, uranium production and surveillance activities, nonproliferation training, and other capabilities that are available elsewhere at DOE sites other than LANL. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the CMRR would provide for safe, up-to-date AC and MC research capabilities within one consolidate locations, along with space for related and unrelated research. Peak construction activities would employ 300 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would displace 26.75 acres of land and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, though the area is highly disturbed already. Construction requirements would consume well over 3.0 million gallons of water and approximately 315 megawatt-hours of electricity. Approximately 4,800 cubic meters of concrete and 407 metric tons of steel would be required. The project would generate approximately 535 metric tons of nonhazardous waste. Removal and transportation of hazardous materials from the CMR Building would slightly increase the hazard of the release of radioactive materials, but an accident causing a significant release would be extremely unlikely.

Existing CMR capabilities and activities not proposed for inclusion within the CMRR facility would include the Wing 9 Hot Cell operations, medical isotope production, uranium production and surveillance activities, nonproliferation training, and other capabilities that are available elsewhere at DOE sites other than LANL. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the CMRR would provide for safe, up-to-date AC and MC research capabilities within one consolidate locations, along with space for related and unrelated research. Peak construction activities would employ 300 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would displace 26.75 acres of land and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, though the area is highly disturbed already. Construction requirements would consume well over 3.0 million gallons of water and approximately 315 megawatt-hours of electricity. Approximately 4,800 cubic meters of concrete and 407 metric tons of steel would be required. The project would generate approximately 535 metric tons of nonhazardous waste. Removal and transportation of hazardous materials from the CMR Building would slightly increase the hazard of the release of radioactive materials, but an accident causing a significant release would be extremely unlikely.

AN - 36353316; 10500-030522_0027 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research (CMR) Building at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New Mexico is proposed. The CMR Building, constructed in the early 1950s, houses most of LANL's analytical chemistry (AC) and materials characterization (MC) capabilities. Other capabilities at the CMR Building include actinide processing, waste characterization, and nondestructive analysis that support a variety of nuclear materials management programs. In 1992, the Department of Energy (DOE) initiated planning and implementation of CMR Building upgrades to address specific safety, reliability, consolidation, and security and safeguard issues. In 1997 and 1998, a series of operational, safety, and seismic issues surfaced regarding the long-term viability of the CMR Building. Based on these findings, the DOE determined that the extensive upgrades original planned would be much more expensive and time consuming and of only marginal effectiveness. As a result, DOE decided to perform only the upgrades necessary to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the CMR Building through 2010 and to seek an alternative path for long-term reliability. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would involve continued use of the existing CMR Building, and four construction options are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 1), the project would involve construction of two or three buildings at the LANL within the 40-acre Technical Area 55 (TA-55) site, located 1.1 miles south of the Los Alamos town site. Analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities would be moved from the existing CMR Building into the new buildings using a phased approach and operations would resume at the new buildings in a staged manner, providing for a period of operational overlap between the CMR Building and the new Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Building Replacement (CMRR). The existing CMR Building would be dispositioned; three disposition options are considered, including reuse of the building and decontamination, decommissioning, and partial or full demolition of the building. One of the new buildings within TA-55 would provide administrative offices and support activities and would include cafeteria space and lite laboratory space used for such activities as glovebox mockup, training, and general research and development.

AN - 36353044; 10500-030522_0006 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research (CMR) Building at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New Mexico is proposed. The CMR Building, constructed in the early 1950s, houses most of LANL's analytical chemistry (AC) and materials characterization (MC) capabilities. Other capabilities at the CMR Building include actinide processing, waste characterization, and nondestructive analysis that support a variety of nuclear materials management programs. In 1992, the Department of Energy (DOE) initiated planning and implementation of CMR Building upgrades to address specific safety, reliability, consolidation, and security and safeguard issues. In 1997 and 1998, a series of operational, safety, and seismic issues surfaced regarding the long-term viability of the CMR Building. Based on these findings, the DOE determined that the extensive upgrades original planned would be much more expensive and time consuming and of only marginal effectiveness. As a result, DOE decided to perform only the upgrades necessary to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the CMR Building through 2010 and to seek an alternative path for long-term reliability. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would involve continued use of the existing CMR Building, and four construction options are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 1), the project would involve construction of two or three buildings at the LANL within the 40-acre Technical Area 55 (TA-55) site, located 1.1 miles south of the Los Alamos town site. Analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities would be moved from the existing CMR Building into the new buildings using a phased approach and operations would resume at the new buildings in a staged manner, providing for a period of operational overlap between the CMR Building and the new Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Building Replacement (CMRR). The existing CMR Building would be dispositioned; three disposition options are considered, including reuse of the building and decontamination, decommissioning, and partial or full demolition of the building. One of the new buildings within TA-55 would provide administrative offices and support activities and would include cafeteria space and lite laboratory space used for such activities as glovebox mockup, training, and general research and development. The lite laboratory space would contain only small quantities of nuclear materials. The CMRR would provide for analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities, AC and MC capabilities consolidated from the Plutonium Facility located within YA-55, special nuclear materials storage, large containment vessel handling capability, Mission contingency space, and nuclear materials operational capabilities and space for non-LANL users. Existing CMR capabilities and activities not proposed for inclusion within the CMRR facility would include the Wing 9 Hot Cell operations, medical isotope production, uranium production and surveillance activities, nonproliferation training, and other capabilities that are available elsewhere at DOE sites other than LANL. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the CMRR would provide for safe, up-to-date AC and MC research capabilities within one consolidate locations, along with space for related and unrelated research. Peak construction activities would employ 300 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would displace 26.75 acres of land and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, though the area is highly disturbed already. Construction requirements would consume well over 3.0 million gallons of water and approximately 315 megawatt-hours of electricity. Approximately 4,800 cubic meters of concrete and 407 metric tons of steel would be required. The project would generate approximately 535 metric tons of nonhazardous waste. Removal and transportation of hazardous materials from the CMR Building would slightly increase the hazard of the release of radioactive materials, but an accident causing a significant release would be extremely unlikely.

AN - 16368052; 10492 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station Rock Island County, Illinois is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 16th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, South Carolina Electric and Gas Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. One issue was identified as potentially significant, specifically, electric shock from induced current along transmission line corridors. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which August 14, 2012. The power station, which is located within a 871-acre site on the east bank of Pool 14 of the Mississippi River between Lock and Dams 13 and 14, consists of two units equipped with nuclear steam supply systems, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that use boiling water reactors, once-through condenser cooling systems that withdrawal from and discharge to Pool 14, closed-cycle cooling water systems, and steam generators connected to the reactor vessel. Each unit is rated at 2,957 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 930 MW-electric. Units 1 and 2, which were respectively placed in service in February and March of 1983, are refueled on a 24-month schedule. The reactors are housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Five 345-kilovolt transmission lines, with a combined length of approximately 110 miles, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Pool 14 and deliver makeup water back to the pool. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the impoundment. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

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

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

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

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

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

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

High-resolution spectral gamma log data have been acquired in more than 260 vadose zone boreholes and groundwater monitoring wells located in and near the B-BX-BY Waste Management Area (WMA). In addition to three tank farms (underground waste storage), this area includes several major radioactive liquid waste disposal sites. Man-made uranium was detected only in the vadose zone northeast of tank BX-102 (BX Tank Farm) and in one borehole near the 216-B-7B Crib. A subsurface plume of man-made uranium contamination has been identified. This uranium originates near tank BX-102 and appears to intercept groundwater at a depth of approximately 250 ft and a lateral distance of 400 ft northeast from its presumed source. Geophysical log data indicate that this contamination reached this point between 1991 and 1997. Uranium migration may be following a stratigraphic dip northeast. Groundwater monitoring data collected by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory indicate that uranium was first detected in groundwater in January 1994 northeast of tank BX-102. Since 1994, the uranium plume in the groundwater appears to have migrated to the northwest.

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

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

Paper No. TAM-E.2 N1 - Last updated - 2010-05-03 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Relative solubility of cations in Class F fly ash. AN - 71291874; 14572108 AB - Coal utilization byproducts (CUB), such as fly ash, contain cations that may be released during exposure to fluids such as acid rain or acid mine drainage. Researchers at the Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (DOE/NETL) have conducted a long-term column leaching study of 32 Class F fly ash samples from pulverized coal (PC) combustion, and quantified the release of 19 cations in four leachants with a pH between 1.2 and 12. The relative solubility (M(L/T)) of each cation was defined as the total mass leached (M(L)) relative to the concentration (M(T)) of that element in the fly ash sample. A frequency distribution of relative solubility values was computed with ranges defined as insoluble, slightly soluble, moderately soluble, and very soluble. On the basis of this sample set, Ba, Cd, Fe, Pb, Sb, and Se in PC fly ash are insoluble. The elements Al, Be, Ca, Co, Cr, Cu, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, and Zn are slightly to moderately acid soluble. Only Ca and Na are water soluble; As and Ca are soluble in the basic solution, The results of this study indicate that the extent to which cations in Class F PC fly ash can be leached by naturally occurring fluids is very limited.

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

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

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

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

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

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

AN - 73475479; 12861606 AB - Ethylene oxide (EO) gas is commonly used to sterilize medical devices. The amount of residual EO remaining in a device depends partly on the type and size of polymeric material. A major concern is the amount of residue that may be available in the body. With the use of the method described by AAMI for headspace analysis of EO residues, different polymers and medical devices subjected to different numbers of sterilization cycles were examined. Next, the effect of various extraction conditions and extraction solutions on these polymers and medical devices was evaluated. The results showed different polymers desorb EO differently. One polyurethane (PU 75D) had much higher EO residue than a different polyurethane (PU 80A). Repeated extraction of the PU 75D was necessary to quantify total EO residue levels. Different extraction solutions influence the amount and reproducibility of EO detected, whereas multiple resterilizations showed no difference in amount of residual EO. Bioavailability of EO was estimated by extracting the devices and polymers in water. Comparison of total EO residues to EO that was bioavailable showed no difference for some polymers and devices, while others had an almost eightfold difference. Some standard biocompatibility tests were run on extracts and devices, but no significant effects were observed. Copyright 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. JF - Journal of biomedical materials research.

AN - 36381535; 10375-030381_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses Fort Calhous Nuclear Power Station, Unit, located in Washington County, Nebraska for an additional 20 years is proposed in this 12th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Florida Power and Light Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. A total of 23 issues that apply to the unit is addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is August 9, 2013. The power station is located on a 660-acre site, approximately 55 acres of which is occupied byplant facilities or maintained as part of plant operations. The unit reactor system consists of a pressurized-water reactor and its associated coolant system designed by Combustion Engineering. The steam and power conversion system, including its turbine generator, is designed to permit the generation of a net electrical output of 276 megawatts (MWe). The reactor is licensed to allow operation at the system's full-rate power level of 1,500 MW-thermal. Plant cooling is provided by a once-through cooling system that draws water from the Missouri River. Potable water supplies are drawn from the city of Blair municipal water system. Small amounts of groundwater are drawn from two wells, predominantly to adjust water levels and flush the sanitary-waste lagoons and the center-pivot irrigation system. The units employ liquid, gaseous, and solid water processing systems to collect and treat radioactive materials produced as a by-product of operations. Power is delivered to the regional power grid via three 161-kilovolt transmission lines, though only one line is affected by the license; that line extends approximately seven miles in two segments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant unit would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdrawal process water from the Missouri River and deliver makeup water back to the river. Release of water to the river from the once-through system would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the nearshore area. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

The power station is located on a 660-acre site, approximately 55 acres of which is occupied byplant facilities or maintained as part of plant operations. The unit reactor system consists of a pressurized-water reactor and its associated coolant system designed by Combustion Engineering. The steam and power conversion system, including its turbine generator, is designed to permit the generation of a net electrical output of 276 megawatts (MWe). The reactor is licensed to allow operation at the system's full-rate power level of 1,500 MW-thermal. Plant cooling is provided by a once-through cooling system that draws water from the Missouri River. Potable water supplies are drawn from the city of Blair municipal water system. Small amounts of groundwater are drawn from two wells, predominantly to adjust water levels and flush the sanitary-waste lagoons and the center-pivot irrigation system. The units employ liquid, gaseous, and solid water processing systems to collect and treat radioactive materials produced as a by-product of operations. Power is delivered to the regional power grid via three 161-kilovolt transmission lines, though only one line is affected by the license; that line extends approximately seven miles in two segments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant unit would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdrawal process water from the Missouri River and deliver makeup water back to the river. Release of water to the river from the once-through system would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the nearshore area. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

Last week, for example, Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) issued a broadside arguing that "the administration's political interference with science has led to misleading statements by the president, inaccurate responses to Congress" and other evils. The previous week, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) opened a hearing with the claim that "left-wing environmental communities insist sound science is outrageous." Unfortunately, the Bush administration is also weakening traditional sources of scientific advice. Not long after President Bush took office, the administration quietly eliminated the office of the assistant to the president for science and technology and moved the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy out of the White House complex. This is a new low point for an office with a vexed history. Starting with Franklin Roosevelt, most presidents have found trusted individuals to give them independent technical advice. President Richard Nixon, furious with advice he didn't want, unceremoniously fired his science adviser, leading Congress in 1976 to create the Office of Science and Technology Policy by law.

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

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

Their virulence spectra were evaluated using 11 barley genotypes as differential hosts. The genotypes exhibited a continuous range of response from highly susceptible to moderately resistant. A mean disease rating of 3.7 is considered as the separation point between avirulent and virulent reactions. The frequency of virulence was highest for isolates S5, R5 and S6-2 and lowest for R-ICA31 and R-HAS-6. A cluster analysis indicated that the isolates exhibited distinct differential virulence patterns and they were identified into five groups. The French isolates S5, R5 and S6-2 had a higher mean virulence and a low variance across all genotypes. None of the tested genotypes was highly resistant to all investigated isolates.

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

SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION, FAIRFIELD COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA. (FIFTEENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36438765; 10317 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Virgil C Summer Nuclear Station in Fairfield County, South Carolina is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 15th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, South Carolina Electric and Gas Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which August 6, 2022. The power station, which is located within in a 2,245-acre site in a largely rural area 15 miles west of Winnsboro and 26 miles northwest of Columbia, consists of one unit equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Monticello Reservoir, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. The unit is rated at 2,775 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 966 MW-electric. The reactor, which was placed in service in January 1983 and was upgraded in 1999, is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Ten transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Monticello Reservoir and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

Preparation date: July 10, 2003 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - IDAHO SPENT FUEL FACILITY AT THE IDAHO NATIONAL ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY IN BUTTE COUNTY, IDAHO. AN - 36423714; 10173 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of the Idaho Spent Fuel Storage Facility (ISFSF) in Butte County, Idaho is proposed to repackage and store spent nuclear fuel (SNF)and associated radioactive material from a number of facilities stored at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). During the past 40 years, the Department of Energy (DOE) and its predecessor agencies have generated, transported, received, stored, and reprocessed SNF at DOE facilities nationwide. Part of the SNF originated from non-DOE domestically licensed facilities, including training, research, and test reactors at universities; commercial reactors; and government-owned installations, including US Navy reactors from which DOE has contractual obligations to accept SNF. Most of the SNF at DOE's INEEL, originally destined for reprocessing, is currently stored under conditions acceptable only for short-term storage. Current storage provisions at INEEL consist of aging above-ground facilities, including wet storage pools, and dry underground storage facilities. The facilities to be served by the ISFSF would include Peach Bottom, Unit 1, high-temperature, gas-cooled reactor; the Shipping port Atomics Power Station; and various training, research, and isotope reactors built by General Atomics. The ISFSF, which would be located at the INEEL, is part of an October 1995 settlement agreement between DOE, the US Navy, and the state of Idaho regarding waste removal and environmental cleanup at the INEEL. The proposed ISFSF would also be licensed as an independent spent fuel storage installation. THE ISFSF would be located on at eight-acre site adjacent to INNEL's Idaho Nuclear Technology and Energy Center. The preferred alternative would provide for dry storage of the SNF after processing. The proposed contractor, Foster Wheeler Environmental Corporation, has met the requirements of DOE's specific design criteria for the facility, including requirements for container dimensions, year-round operation, storage container capable of being transported via truck or rail, personnel and public exposure limits, and minimization of decommissioning activities. In addition to the proposed action, a No Action Alternative is considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reprocessing and long-term storage of the SNF would eliminate a significant health and safety hazards from the INEEL and the surrounding areas, including the Snake River Plain Aquifer, which lies below the laboratory site and is a major water source for the region. Construction of the ISFSF would employ 250 workers over a two-year period, while operation of the facility would employ nearly 60 persons for at least four years, with storage operations beyond that time employing fewer workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities associated with the ISFSF would affect the eight-acres site and 10 acres within an adjoining laydown area; the entire area to be affected is currently used as a laydown area and has been disturbed previously by other activities and land uses. Access and use of the facility site would be limited. Though workers would be exposed to radiation, doses would be well within acceptable limits.

AN - 36412414; 10174 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna) near Ontario in Wayne County, New York is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 14th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which September 18, 2009. The power station, which is located on a 488-acre site four miles north of Ontario on the south shore of Lake Ontario, consists of one unit equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a once-through cooling system, and two identical closed heat-transfer loops, each of which includes a reactor coolant pump and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. The unit is rated at 1,520 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 490 MW-electric. The reactor, which was placed in service in 1970 and was upgraded in 1972, is housed within a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. Plant cooling is provided by water is obtained from and returned to Lake Ontario. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four 0.6-mile 115-kilovolt (kV) underground transmission lines deliver electricity generated by the plant to a substation on the south side of Lake Road which, in turn, sends the electricity to the regional grid via five 3.5-mile 115-kV overhead lines the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Lake Ontario at a rate of 354,600 gallons per minute (gpm) and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the lake from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the 175 acres of the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw 14,600 gpm from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards.

The authors do a good job of reviewing the scientific literature on the important topic of radiation-induced versus endogenous DNA damage, and they use the available data to calculate numerical estimates and comparisons of DNA damages induced by radiation versus metabolic processes. However, these numbers should in no way be confused with proof or disproof of the involvement of specific biological mechanisms. Many important questions for low-dose radiobiology remain unanswered, and there is no substitute for experimental demonstration.

LUCIE UNITS 1 AND 2, HUTCHINSON ISLAND, ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA. (ELEVENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36441490; 10119 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses St Lucie Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2, located in St. Lucie County, Florida for an additional 20 years is proposed in this 11th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Florida Power and Light Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. A total of 23 issues that apply to the units are addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the units in this final supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is March 1, 2016, for Unit 1 and April 6, 2023, for Unit 2. The power station is located on an 1,130-acre site on the widest section of Hutchinson Island in an area previously degraded by mosquito control projects. The plant has two General Electric pressurized light-water reactors, each with a design rating for a net power output of 1,678 megawatts of electric power. Plant cooling is provided by extraction of water from the Atlantic Ocean via three offshore intake structures, which pump the water into an intake canal. Heated water is sent back to the ocean through offshore diffusers. The units employ liquid, gaseous, and solid water processing systems to collect and treat radioactive materials produced as a by-product of operations. Power is delivered to the regional power grid via three 230-kilovolt transmission lines, located within a single right-of-way extending 11 miles to the Midway substation POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant units would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw millions of gallons of process water from the Atlantic Ocean via the intake structures and deliver makeup water back to the ocean. Release of water to the ocean from the once-through systems would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the nearshore area. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

AN - 36380235; 10095-030217_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research (CMR) Building at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New Mexico is proposed. The CMR Building, constructed in the early 1950s, houses most of LANL's analytical chemistry (AC) and materials characterization (MC) capabilities. Other capabilities at the CMR Building include actinide processing, waste characterization, and nondestructive analysis that support a variety of nuclear materials management programs. In 1992, the Department of Energy (DOE) initiated planing and implementation of CMR Building upgrades to address specific safety, reliability, consolidation, and security and safeguard issues. In 1997 and 1998, a series of operational, safety, and seismic issues surfaced regarding the long-term viability of the CMR Building. Based on these findings, the DOE determined that the extensive upgrades original planned would be much more expensive and time consuming and of only marginal effectiveness. As a result, DOE decided to perform only the upgrades necessary to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the CMR Building through 2010 and to seek an alternative path for long-term reliability. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would involve continued us of the existing CMR Building, as well as four construction options are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 1), the project would involve construction two or three buildings at the LANL within the 40-acre Technical Area 55 (TA-55) site, located 1.1 miles south of the Los Alamos town site. Analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities would be moved from the existing CMR Building into the new buildings using a phased approach and operations would resume at the new buildings in a staged manner, providing for a period of operational overlap between the CMR Building and the new Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Building. Replacement (CMRR). The existing CMR Building would be dispositioned; three disposition options are considered, including reuse of the building and decontamination, decommissioning, and partial or full demolition of the building. One of the new buildings within TA-55 would provide administrative offices and support activities and would include cafeteria space and lite laboratory space used for such activities as glovebox mockup, training, and general research and development. the lite laboratory space would contain only small quantities of nuclear materials. The CMRR would provide for analytical chemistry and materials characterization capabilities, AC and MC capabilities consolidated from the Plutonium Facility located within YA-55, special nuclear materials storage, large containment vessel handling capability, Mission contingency space, and nuclear materials operational capabilities and space for non-LANL users. Existing CMR capabilities and activities not proposed for inclusion within the CMRR facility would include the Wing 9 Hot Cell operations, medical isotope production, uranium production and surveillance activities, nonproliferation training, and other capabilities that are available elsewhere at DOE sites other than LANL. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the CMRR would provide for safe, up-to-date AC and MC research capabilities within one consolidate locations, along with space for related and unrelated research. Peak construction activities would employ 300 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would displace 26.75 acres of land and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, though the area is highly disturbed already. Construction requirements would consume well over 3.0 million gallons of water and approximately 315 megawatt-hours of electricity. Approximately 4,800 cubic meters of concrete and 407 metric tons of steel would be required. The project would generate approximately 535 metric tons of nonhazardous waste. Removal and transportation of hazardous materials from the CMR Building would slightly increase the hazard of the release of radioactive materials, but an accident causing a significant release would be extremely unlikely.

Preparation date: May 8, 2003 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: H.B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT NO. 2, DARLINGTON AND CHESTERFIELD COUNTIES, SOUTH CAROLINA (THIRTEENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36437385; 10091 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Unit 2 of the H.B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, located on a site in Darlington and Chesterfield counties South Carolina for an additional 20 years is proposed in this 13th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Carolina Power and Light Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. The remaining 23 issues that apply to the unit are addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is July 21, 2010. The power station is located on a 6,020-acre site, which includes the 2,250-acre Lake Robinson. The Darlington County Internal Combustion Turbine Electric Plant is also located on the site. The nuclear unit consists of a pressurized water reactor, with a three-loop Westinghouse steam supply system. The unit iw? rates at 2,30 megawatts (MW) thermal, with a corresponding nominal net electrical output of approximately 70 MW-electric. The reactor, which was placed in service in 1970, is housed within a dry, reinforced concrete, steel-lined containment structure. The unit reactor system consists of a pressurized-water reactor and its associated coolant system designed by Combustion Engineering. The steam and power conversion system, including its turbine generator, is designed to permit the generation of a net electrical output of 276 megawatts (MWe). The reactor is licensed to allow operation at the system's full-rate power level of 1,500 MW-thermal. Plant cooling is provided by the three-loop cooling system, Cooling water is obtained from and discharged to Lake Robinson. Two groundwater production wells provide makeup water for Unit 1 and sanitary water for both units 1 and 2; three additional wells are used to provide makeup water for Unit 1. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four 230-kilovolt transmission lines, extending a total of 46 miles deliver electricity generated by the plant to the regional grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the units would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw millions of gallons of processed water from the Lake Robinson and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the lake from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the nearshore area. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT NO. 2, DARLINGTON AND CHESTERFIELD COUNTIES, SOUTH CAROLINA (THIRTEENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: H.B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT NO. 2, DARLINGTON AND CHESTERFIELD COUNTIES, SOUTH CAROLINA (THIRTEENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36380014; 10091-030213_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Unit 2 of the H.B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, located on a site in Darlington and Chesterfield counties South Carolina for an additional 20 years is proposed in this 13th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Carolina Power and Light Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. The remaining 23 issues that apply to the unit are addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is July 21, 2010. The power station is located on a 6,020-acre site, which includes the 2,250-acre Lake Robinson. The Darlington County Internal Combustion Turbine Electric Plant is also located on the site. The nuclear unit consists of a pressurized water reactor, with a three-loop Westinghouse steam supply system. The unit iw? rates at 2,30 megawatts (MW) thermal, with a corresponding nominal net electrical output of approximately 70 MW-electric. The reactor, which was placed in service in 1970, is housed within a dry, reinforced concrete, steel-lined containment structure. The unit reactor system consists of a pressurized-water reactor and its associated coolant system designed by Combustion Engineering. The steam and power conversion system, including its turbine generator, is designed to permit the generation of a net electrical output of 276 megawatts (MWe). The reactor is licensed to allow operation at the system's full-rate power level of 1,500 MW-thermal. Plant cooling is provided by the three-loop cooling system, Cooling water is obtained from and discharged to Lake Robinson. Two groundwater production wells provide makeup water for Unit 1 and sanitary water for both units 1 and 2; three additional wells are used to provide makeup water for Unit 1. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four 230-kilovolt transmission lines, extending a total of 46 miles deliver electricity generated by the plant to the regional grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the units would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw millions of gallons of processed water from the Lake Robinson and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the lake from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the nearshore area. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

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

We demonstrate with micro-topographic surveys and trenching that the Dead Sea fault (DSF) offsets left-laterally by 13.6+ or -0.2 m a repeatedly fractured ancient Roman aqueduct (older than AD 70 and younger than AD 30). Carbon-14 dating of faulted young alluvial deposits documents the occurrence of three large earthquakes in the past 2000 years between AD 100 and 750, between AD 700 and 1030 and between AD 990 and 1210. Our study provides the timing of late Holocene earthquakes and constrains the 6.9+ or -0.1 mm/yr slip rate of the Dead Sea transform fault in northwestern Syria along the Missyaf segment. The antepenultimate and most recent faulting events may be correlated with the AD 115 and AD 1170 large earthquakes for which we estimate M (sub w) = 7.3-7.5. The approximately 830 yr of seismic quiescence along the Missyaf fault segment implies that a large earthquake is overdue and may result in a major catastrophe to the population centres of Syria and Lebanon.

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

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

To meet this challenge, the U.S. Department of Energy has developed the Genomes to Life (GTL) program. A central focus of GTL is environmental microbial biology as a way to approach global environmental problems, and its key goal is to achieve, over the next 10 to 20 years, a basic understanding of thousands of microbes and microbial systems in their native environments. This focus demands that we address huge gaps in knowledge, technology, computing, data storage and manipulation, and systems-level integration. JF - Science (New York, N.Y.)

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

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

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

This presents problems to the quality of the published science, and it limits the utility of computers in data analysis and the exploitation of Information Technology (IT). We discuss problems of data and metadata publication, in particular for geochemistry, and offer solutions to these problems in the form of consistent data publication formats and a proposal for publication of metadata in geochemistry. Metadata are grouped according to types (location, sampling, characterization), and this grouping allows for the transfer of these formats to other Earth science disciplines. In a companion paper [Helly et al., 2003], we illustrate how these metadata groupings can be used in an IT context. Formats presented here are comprehensive and allow for modification and expansion.

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

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

AN - 36442838; 9914 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, for an additional 20 years is proposed in this tenth supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (formerly Philadelphia Electric Company), nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. A total of 23 issues that apply to the units is addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the units in this final supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is August 8, 2013, for Unit 2 and July 2, 2014, for Unit 3. The power station is located on an 620-acre site in southern Pennsylvania on the banks of the Susquehanna River, approximately 19 miles south of Lancaster. The site includes an exclusion area with a radius of 0.51 mile around the plant. The plant has two General Electric light-water reactors, each with a design rating for a new power output of 1,093 megawatts electric. Plant cooling is provided by a once-through heat dissipation system that dissipates heat to the environment. Units 2 and 3 produce electricity to supply the needs of approximately 35 percent of Exelon's 1.5 million business and residential customers in its mid-Atlantic service areas. The . The units employ liquid, gaseous, and solid water processing systems to collect and treat radioactive materials produced as a by-product of operations. Power is delivered to the regional power grid via one 500-kilovolt transmission line extending 34 miles from the Peachbottom south substation eastward through Maryland and Delaware to the Keeney substation in northwestern Delaware. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant unit would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdrawal 1.5 million gallons of process water from the Susquehanna River via the Conowingo Pond and deliver makeup water to the pond. Release of water to the lake from the once-through systems would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the waterbody. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

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

AN - 73265617; 12743471 AB - In the present study, protection of mice, BALB/c inbred as measured by survival at 30 days against whole-body gamma exposure at two dose levels, namely, 7.60 and 10.12 Gy by prior irradiation treatment with combination of beta-carotene, N-(2-mercapto-propionyl)-glycine (MPG) and S-(2-aminoethyl) isothiouroniumbromide hydrobromide (AET), is reported. It was found that administration of beta-carotene (1 mg per 20 g body mass) and 24 h before whole-body irradiation (7.60 Gy) had significantly improved the post-irradiation survival. It was also found that administration of a combination of AET (260 mg per kg body mass) and MPG (60 mg per kg body mass) 20 min before exposure to 7.60 Gy gamma irradiation to mice which have been treated with beta-carotene (1 mg per 20 g body mass) 24 h before exposure had resulted in 80% survival in comparison to 10% survival recorded for control animals. On the other hand, when the animals were exposed to a higher dose (10.12 Gy) under similar experimental conditions as above, a significant improvement in survival was observed during the first 10 days following the exposure but only a slight effect afterward. On the other hand, the response of male and female mice 10 days after exposure to the above radiation dose indicated that the females were more radioresistant than the males. Copyright 2003 S.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To date, a coupled finite element model that accounts for the temperature-dependent electrical conductivity changes has not been developed for ablation type devices. While it is widely acknowledged that accounting for temperature dependent phenomena may affect the outcome of these models, the effect has not been assessed. Methods The results of four finite element models are compared: constant electrical conductivity without tissue perfusion, temperature-dependent conductivity without tissue perfusion, constant electrical conductivity with tissue perfusion, and temperature-dependent conductivity with tissue perfusion. Results The data demonstrate that significant errors are generated when constant electrical conductivity is assumed in coupled electrical-heat transfer problems that operate at high temperatures. These errors appear to be closely related to the temperature at which the ablation device operates and not to the amount of power applied by the device or the state of tissue perfusion. Conclusion Accounting for temperature-dependent phenomena may be critically important in the safe operation of radiofrequency ablation device that operate near 100 degree C.

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

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

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

LakeVOC represents the lake or reservoir as a two-layer system and estimates VOC concentrations in both the epilimnion and hypolimnion. The air-water flux of a VOC is characterized in LakeVOC in terms of the two-film model of air-water exchange. LakeVOC solves the system of coupled differential equations for the VOC concentration in the epilimnion, the VOC concentration in the hypolimnion, the total mass of the VOC in the lake, the volume of the epilimnion, and the volume of the hypolimnion. A series of nine simulations were conducted to verify LakeVOC representation of mixing, dilution, and gas exchange characteristics in a hypothetical lake, and two simulations were conducted to verify LakeVOC estimates of VOC concentrations in an actual reservoir under environmental conditions. These 11 simulations showed that LakeVOC correctly handled mixing, dilution, and gas exchange and adequately estimated VOC concentrations within the epilimnion in an actual reservoir with daily input parameters. As the parameter- input time scale increased (from daily to weekly to monthly, for example), the differences between the measured-averaged concentrations and the model-estimated concentrations generally increased, especially for the hypolimnion. This may be because as the time scale is increased from daily to weekly to monthly, the averaging of model inputs may cause a loss of detail in the model estimates. JF - Open-file Report.

The NRC and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) jointly share responsibility for regulating the transport of radioactive material. Consequently, the NRC and the DOT are both revising their regulations to be compatible with the latest edition of the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA's) standard TS-R-1 (1996) for the transport of radioactive material. Since the NRC and the DOT share responsibility for regulating in this area, challenges arise in determining which provisions of TS-R-1 should result in conforming changes to the NRC's and the DOT's respective regulations, while also ensuring that the NRC's and the DOT's regulations remain consistent.

Determination was based on the percentage of inoculated seeds that produced fungal hyphae when cultured on potato dextrose agar. The technique allows low, intermediate and absolute levels of resistance to leaf stripe to be determined. Genotypes CI-5791 and Banteng were resistant, Thibaut, Igri and PK (30-531) were moderately resistant, Gollf was moderately susceptible, and WI2291, Arabi Abiad, Furat 1 and Arrivate were susceptible. The in vitro and in field assessments were significant (correlation coefficient r = 0.96), results indicating that repeated measurements for infected seeds by this in vitro method were very similar to those of field assessments.

A modified dust emission flux scheme and a nonlocal diffusion scheme for determining the atmospheric eddy diffusivity in the atmospheric boundary layer were implemented to improve the chemical transport model. We examined the dust transport by comparing the model results with TOMS satellite images. The model calculated monthly total deposition of dust masses were used for comparison with the measurements collected at sampling stations in Japan, and good agreement was found.

AN - 16362317; 9875 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for the Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, located in York County, South Carolina for an additional 20 years is proposed in this ninth supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant (Duke Energy Corporation) nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the Edwin I units in this final supplement. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power and other matters within the state's jurisdiction or the purview of the owners. In addition to the No Action Alternative, alternatives to license renewal addressed in this supplement include coal-fired generation, gas-fired generation, imported electrical power, and other, less traditional means of power generation. If the operating license is not renewed, the units 1 and 2 would be shut down on or before the expiration dates of the current licenses, which are December 6, 2024 and February 24, 2026, respectively. The site lies on 391 acres of land in rural north-central South Carolina. Catawba consists of two pressurized light-water reactors with four reactor coolant loops, each of which contains a steam generator. Each unit is designed to operate at core power levels of up to 3,411 megawatts-thermal, with a corresponding net electrical output of approximately 1,129 megawatts of electrical power. Catawba uses water from Lake Wylie for cooling and processing water. The power station uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems. Power generated by the station's units are delivered to the regional power grid by five 230-kV transmission lines, with rights-of-way covering a total of 730 acres. The rights-of-way extend out from Catawba to the north, south, and west. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the units would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of units would continue to remove 102 million gallons per day (mgd) of water from Lake Wylie and return 60.7 mgd of makeup water to the lake. Release of water to the river from the cooling system results in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

AN - 16358826; 9876 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, for an additional 20 years is proposed in this eighth supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Duke Energy Corporation, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. A total of 23 issues that apply to ANO-1 is addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the licenses are renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating licenses are not renewed, the units 1 and 2 would be shut down on or before expiration dates of the current licenses, which are June 12, 2021, and March 3, 2023, respectively. The units are located on a 577-acre site in southwestern North Carolina. The site is surrounded by an exclusion area with a radius of 0.47 mile and which covers 450.5 acres. The McGuire site is bounded to the west by the Catawba River and to the north by Lake Norman. Each unit under consideration is a pressurized light-water reactor with four steam generators. Each unit is designed to operate at core power levels of up to 3,411 megawatts thermal, with a corresponding net electrical output of 1,129 megawatts. The units use water from Lake Norman for main condenser cooling and process water. McGuire uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems; nonradioactive wastes are disposed of in an onsite landfill or in one of several offsite landfills operated by the county. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant units would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The McGuire site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to remove water from Lake Norman and return makeup water to the lake. Release of water to the lake from the once-through system results in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The units would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Refusal to renew the licenses and subsequent decommissioning of the units could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

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

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

Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the North Anna units in this final supplement. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power and other matters within the state's jurisdiction or the purview of the owners. In addition to the No Action Alternative, alternatives to license renewal addressed in this supplement include coal-fired generation, gas-fired generation, imported electrical power, and other, less traditional means of power generation. If the operating license is not renewed, North Anna, Units 1 and 2, would be shut down on or before the expiration dates of the current licenses, which are April 1, 2018 and June August 21, 2020, respectively. Each unit, which is rated for a net electrical output of 2,775 MW-thermal, consists of three-coolant-loop pressurized light-water reactor nuclear steam supply and steam-driven turbine generator designed and manufactured by Westinghouse. Makeup water for the once-through cooling systems is withdrawn from Lake Anna, a 9,600-acre reservoir created in 1971 by erecting a dam on the main stem of the North Anna River. The reservoir also provides recreational opportunities and flood control benefits. The power station uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems. Three 500-kilovolt transmission lines and one 230-kilovolt transmission line, each of which occupies a separate right-of-way ranging from 15 to 41 miles in length, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the units would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species as well as providing recreational and flood control benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of units would continue to remove significant quantities of water from the North Anna Reservoir and return makeup water to the impoundment. Release of water to the impoundment from the cooling system results in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.
