AN - 16379125; 16431 AB - PURPOSE: This environmental impact statement (EIS) has been prepared in response to an application submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) by Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) for two combined construction permits and operating licenses (combined licenses or COLs). The proposed actions related to the FPL application are NRC issuance of COLs for two new power reactor units (Units 6 & 7) at the Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant site in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) decision to issue, deny, or issue with modifications a Department of the Army (DA) permit to perform certain dredge and fill activities in waters of the United States and to construct structures in navigable waters of the United States related to the project. The NRC, its contractors, and USACE make up the review team. The National Park Service (NPS) is also a cooperating agency on this EIS but does not now have a request to take any specific regulatory action before it. Due to this unique set of circumstances, impact determinations made in this EIS should only be attributed to the review team. This EIS documents the review teams analysis, which considers and weighs the environmental impacts of constructing and operating two new nuclear units at the Turkey Point site and at alternative sites, including measures potentially available for reducing or avoiding adverse impacts. The EIS includes an evaluation of the impacts of construction and operation of Turkey Point Units 6 & 7 on waters of the United States pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and on navigable waters of the United States pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. The USACE will base its evaluation of FPLs DA permit application, on the requirements of USACE regulations, the Clean Water Act Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines, and the USACE public interest review process.

The means by which this corrosion initiates is currently unknown. Our previous work has highlighted some of the chemical processes and properties that must be considered in ISCC, and enable us to make some possible connections in the overall corrosion mechanism. A series of calculations has been performed to better characterize the iodine interaction with zirconium, following a hybrid approach that integrates both molecular and solid-state calculations for incorporation into large scale simulations.

Because the proposed action would authorize Dominion to leave the casks in their current positions, rather than taking action to return the casks to their pre-earthquake positions, no significant radiological or non-radiological impacts are expected to result from approval of the license amendment request, and the proposed action would not significantly contribute to cumulative impacts at the NA site.

Because of the oversight and monitoring of radioactive waste shipments throughout the entire journey from ZNPS to the disposal site, it is unlikely that a shipment could be lost, misdirected, or diverted without the knowledge of the carrier or ZS. Conclusions Accordingly, the NRC has determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 20.2301, the exemption is authorized by law and will not result in undue hazard to life or property. [...]the NRC hereby grants Zion Solutions, LLC an exemption from 10 CFR part 20, Appendix G. Section III.E to extend the requirement to investigate, trace, and report on rail shipments of low-level radioactive waste intended for disposal at a licensed land disposal facility that have not been received at the disposal facility within 20 days to 45 days after transfer.

Volumetric computed tomography dose index and dose-length product values were collected from the post-data page of 65 'modern' systems that incorporate tube current modulation. Moreover, phantom dose measurements on 26 'older' systems were performed. Finally, the effective dose to the patient from a typical acquisition during these examinations was estimated. The suggested national DRLs are generally comparable with respective published values from similar European studies, with the exception of sinuses CT, which presents significantly higher values. This fact, along with the large variation of the systems' dose values that were observed even for scanners of the same type, indicates a need for further patient protection optimisation without compromising the clinical outcome.

This intercomparison exercise was aimed at verifying the performance of the individual monitoring services of the participants in order to assess their capabilities to measure the quantity H sub(p)(10) in photon (gamma and X ray) fields helping them to comply with dose limitation requirements. The scope of this intercomparison was aimed at passive dosemeters, which determine the personal dose equivalent in photon radiation fields, mainly for thermoluminescence and optically stimulated luminescence dosemeters. Twenty-seven countries from the Africa region and from outside Africa participated in this exercise. The intercomparison protocol, including the preparation of the dosemeters and the irradiation procedures, is described and the results are presented, analysed and discussed.

Forty five soil and rock samples were collected from various lithofacies in each geological unit, and analyzed by gamma -ray spectrometric technique for determining the concentration values of major radioelements. Such radiometric data could be used to differentiate between various lithologies of the investigated rocks. Although no distinct radioactive anomalies were found in the area, the radiometric profiles showed some minor variations with slightly higher values than the normal level. Despite the low radioactivity and the lack of rocks diversity in the surveyed area, it was possible to classify some certain rock types based on their radiometric response. The relationships between eU, eTh and their ratios were discussed for the Quaternary, Neogene and Paleogene formations, in order to evaluate the degree of uranium distribution and remobilization. The overall results of this radiometric survey were generally low, and lying within the range of the normal background levels in Syrian. Abstract Copyright (2015) Elsevier, B.V.

As a result of these problems, the demand for groundwater by the human populations in the peri-urban communities for domestic, municipal and irrigation purposes has increased without prior knowledge of its water quality. Water samples were collected from 14 public hand-dug wells during the rainy season in 2013 and investigated for total coliforms, Escherichia coli, mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd) and physicochemical parameters. Multivariate statistical analysis of the dataset and a linear stoichiometric plot of major ions were applied to group the water samples and to identify the main factors and sources of contamination. Hierarchal cluster analysis revealed four clusters from the hydrochemical variables (R-mode) and three clusters in the case of water samples (Q-mode) after z score standardization. Principal component analysis after a varimax rotation of the dataset indicated that the four factors extracted explained 93.3 % of the total variance, which highlighted salinity, toxic elements and hardness pollution as the dominant factors affecting groundwater quality. Cation exchange, mineral dissolution and silicate weathering influenced groundwater quality. The ranking order of major ions was Na super(+)>Ca super(2+)>K super(+)>Mg super(2+) and Cl super(-)>SO sub(4) super(2-)>HCO sub(3) super(-). Based on piper plot and the hydrogeology of the study area, sodium chloride (86 %), sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate (14 %) water types were identified. Although E. coli were absent in the water samples, 36 % of the wells contained total coliforms (Enterobacter species) which exceeded the WHO guidelines limit of zero colony-forming unit (CFU)/100 mL of drinking water. With the exception of Hg, the concentration of As and Cd in 79 and 43 % of the water samples exceeded the WHO guideline limits of 10 and 3 mu g/L for drinking water, respectively. Reported values in some areas in Nigeria, Malaysia and USA indicated that the maximum concentration of Cd was low and As was high in this study. Health risk assessment of Cd, As and Hg based on average daily dose, hazard quotient and cancer risk was determined. In conclusion, multiple natural processes and anthropogenic activities from non-point sources contributed significantly to groundwater salinization, hardness, toxic element and microbiological contamination of the study area.

[...]an exemption from 10 CFR 50.75(h)(2) is needed to allow DEF to use funds from the Trust for irradiated fuel management and site restoration activities without prior NRC notification. Since the exemptions would allow DEF to use funds from the Trust that are in excess of those required for radiological decontamination of the site and the adequacy of funds dedicated for radiological decontamination are not affected by the proposed exemptions, there is reasonable assurance that there will be no environmental impact due to lack of adequate funding for decommissioning.

Background Section 218(a) of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA) of 1982, as amended, requires that "the Secretary [of the Department of Energy] shall establish a demonstration program, in cooperation with the private sector, for the dry storage of spent nuclear fuel at civilian nuclear power reactor sites, with the objective of establishing one or more technologies that the [Nuclear Regulatory] Commission may, by rule, approve for use at the sites of civilian nuclear power reactors without, to the maximum extent practicable, the need for additional site-specific approvals by the Commission." To implement this mandate, the Commission approved dry storage of spent nuclear fuel in NRC-approved casks under a general license by publishing a final rule in part 72 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), "Licensing Requirements for the Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Radioactive Waste, and Reactor-Related Greater Than Class C Waste," which added a new subpart K within 10 CFR part 72 entitled, "General License for Storage of Spent Fuel at Power Reactor Sites" (55 FR 29181; July 18, 1990). [...]any resulting occupational exposure or offsite dose rates from the implementation of Amendment No. 3 would remain well within the limits of 10 CFR part 20, "Standards for Protection Against Radiation."

AN - 16372757; 16377 AB - PURPOSE: This supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) has been prepared in response to an application submitted by Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon), to renew the operating license for Byron Station, Units 1 and 2 (Byron), for an additional 20 years. This SEIS includes the preliminary analysis that evaluates the environmental impacts of the proposed action and alternatives to the proposed action. Alternatives considered include: new nuclear generation, coal-integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC), natural gas combined-cycle (NGCC), combination (NGCC, wind, and solar generation), replacement power, and no renewal of the license (the no-action alternative). The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs preliminary recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for Byron are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable. This recommendation is based on the following: the analysis and findings in NUREG1437, Volumes 1 and 2, Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants; the Environmental Report submitted by Exelon; consultation with Federal, state, local, and tribal government agencies; the NRCs environmental review; and consideration of public comments received during the scoping process.

These transitions, from units dominated by meter-sized pahoehoe toes and lobes to those dominated by inflated sheet lobes tens to hundreds of meters in width and meters to tens of meters in height, seems to be a fundamental feature of LIP emplacement. In the Deccan, this volcanological transition is thought to coincide with deeper changes to the volcano-magmatic system expressed, notably, in the trace element and isotopic signature of erupted flows, dike emplacement pattern, and eruptive tempo. We investigated this transition in the Deccan Traps by logging eight sequences along the Western Ghats, an escarpment in western India where the Deccan province is thickest and best exposed. The Deccan province, which once covered approximately 1 million km2 of west-central India, is subdivided in eleven chemo-stratigraphic formations in the type sections of the Western Ghats. Where the lower Deccan formations are exposed, we found that as much as 65% of the exposed thickness (below the Khandala Formation) is made up of sheet lobes, from 40% in the Bhimashankar Formation to 75% in the Thakurvadi Formation. Near the bottom of the sequence, 25% of the Neral Formation is composed of sheet lobes > or =15 m in thickness. On this basis, the traditional view that inflated sheet lobes are an exclusive feature of the upper part of the stratigraphy must be challenged. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the development of compound flows and inflated sheet lobes, involving one or more of the following factors: underlying slope, varying effusion rate, and source geometry. Analogue experiments are currently under way to test the relative influence of each of these factors in the development of different lava flow morphologies in LIPs.

Twenty seven sampling points were considered for the investigation. A set of detectors were buried at a time and were replaced fortnightly for a period of 2 weeks. Three exposures were made at each location. Due to logistics constraints, the detectors were buried in phases over a period of 15 weeks. After the exposure period, the detectors were etched, air dried in the laboratory and the registered alpha tracks were counted using the Spark counter. The track density was calculated and the radon gas concentration was computed. The radon concentrations ranged from 1.40 kBqm super(-3) to 282.87 kBqm super(-3) for the period of monitoring. The average soil radon concentration measured during the period of the survey was 24.41 kBqm super(-3). Local earthquakes of magnitude ranging from 1.1 to 2.8 on the Richter scale were recorded during the study. Continuous monitoring of the gas could confirm high emanation with the activity of the coastal boundary fault.Original Abstract: Tyrimas buvo atliktas Akros pakranteje (nuo Tesi iki Nianiano) Didesniojoje Akros Metropolio teritorijoje, siekiant istirti dirvozemyje esancio radono duju emisijas, naudojant Lenino Resino (LT) - 115 celiuliozes nitrato jutiklius.

(MORACEAE) NA PATOGENY LUDZKIE OPORNE NA WIELE LEKOW AN - 1709168070; PQ0001858020 AB - The present work was conducted to investigate antibacterial activity of methanol and acetone in leaf (LE) and stem-bark (SBE) of Ficus sycomorus L. crude extracts against sensitive and resistant species of Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii pathogens. Antimicrobial activity expressed by disc-diffusion method (zone of inhibitions - ZIs), minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were measured as reported for many investigations. Similar study with 6 commercial antibiotics as a reference drug was undertaken. Based upon the estimated ZIs, MIC and MBC values, acetone LE exhibited higher antimicrobial activity than that of methanol one. Otherwise, standard antibiotics have lower effectiveness (ZIs, MICs and MBC) on all tested bacteria as compared to the SBE and LE. The highest antibacterial activity was recorded in sensitive A. baumannii isolate with MICs 2.5, 4.9 mg/ml and MBC 3.8, 9.7 mg/ml for acetone LE and SBE, respectively. Our data indicated that the lowest antibiotics antibacterial activity was recorded for resistant A. baumannii pathogen. It was lower than those of the both plant fractions extracts.Original Abstract: W niniejszej pracy badano aktywnosc antybakteryjna wyciagu metanolowego i acetonowego z lisci (LE) i kory (SBE) Ficus sycomorus L. przeciwko wrazliwym i opornym gatunkom patogenow Staphylococcus aureus i Acinetobacter baumannii. Dzialanie antybakteryjne oznaczone za pomoca metody dyfuzji dyskowej (strefa zahamowan - ZIs), minimalne stezenia hamujace (MICs) i minimalne stezenia bakteriobojcze (MBC) mierzono w wielu innych badaniach. Przeprowadzono podobne badania z uzyciem szesciu antybiotykow obecnych na rynku jako lekow referencyjnych. Na podstawie oznaczonych wartosci ZIs, MIC i MBC stwierdzono, ze wyciag acetonowy z lisci silniej dzialal antybakteryjnie niz metanolowy. Natomiast standardowe antybiotyki mialy nizsza skutecznosc (ZIs, MICs i MBC) dla wszystkich testowanych bakterii w porownaniu z testowanym wyciagiem z kory i lisci. Najsilniejsze dzialanie antybakteryjne zanotowano dla wrazliwego izolatu A. baumannii z wartosciami MICs 2.5, 4.9 mg/ml i MBC 3.8, 9.7 mg/ml odpowiednio dla wyciagu acetonowego LE i SBE. Nasze dane wskazuja, ze najslabsze dzialanie bakteriobojcze antybiotykow zanotowano dla opornego patogenu A. baumannii. Bylo ono stabsze niz dla obu frakcji wyciagow roslinnych.

The entire new capacity addition of the Base Line Scenario amounts to 42,850 MW and the total generated electricity will reach 230 TWh by the year 2040 distributed to 20.8% NG, 29.3% LNG, 30.7% coal, 12.2% HFO, 6% nuclear and 1.1% hydro. The fuel consumption will grow at an annual average rate of 5.2% from 11.1 Mtoe to 47.7 Mtoe. The NPV of the economic cost of generated electricity for the entire study period is estimated to be US$ 86.78 billion corresponding to levelised generation cost of 23 US$-MWh. Two additional scenarios are considered to assess the future role of wind and nuclear energy-based generations. The results indicate the importance of both options in reducing generation cost and increasing power supply security.

This paper identifies a weakness in the software on double counting of some GHG emissions. Most of the biogenic activities, livestock, rice cultivation, use of biomass, etc. are carbon neutral. However, these activities emit CH4 and CO consuming atmospheric CO2. The UNFCCC software counts CH4 and CO emissions without adjusting the consumed CO2. GHG inventory of Pakistan was prepared for the year 2008 with the help of this software and guidelines of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The biogenic CH4 emissions, 34% of the 2008 GHG inventory, consumed 3.16 million tonnes of atmospheric carbon. The deduction of this carbon reduces the GHG inventory by 3.74%. This paper suggests improvements in the software to enhance the accuracy of GHG inventories.

To produce a high flux of epithermal neutrons at the beam exit, the moderator/filter from Al, Cd, Fluental and Bi was used with Pb as reflector for neutrons along the beam. In addition, the Bi lined collimator with Li sub(2)CO sub(3)-PE and Pb at the end. The calculated beam parameters under 30.0 kW of reactor power at the beam exit are [Phi] sub(epi) = 2.83 x 10 super(8) n/cm super(2) s, D sub(f)/[Phi] sub(epi) = 7.98 x 10 super(-11) cGy cm super(2)/n, D sub([gamma])/[Phi] sub(ep i) = 1.70 x 10 super(-11) cGy cm super(2)/n, [Phi] sub(epi)/[Phi] sub(the) = 0.05 and (ProQuest: Formulae and/or non-USASCII text omitted)/[Phi] sub(n) = 0.77. As well as, the calculated values of the advantage depth and advantage ratio are 7.51 cm and 3.49, respectively. If such beam was built into the Syrian MNSR the scientific applications of the reactor would increase.

This GMPE was derived from the greatly expanded Next Generation of Attenuation (NGA)-West1 database. In this study, Graizer and Kalkan's GMPE is revised to include (1) an anelastic attenuation term as a function of quality factor (Q (sub 0) ) in order to capture regional differences in large-distance attenuation and (2) a new frequency-dependent sedimentary-basin scaling term as a function of depth to the 1.5-km/s shear-wave velocity isosurface to improve ground-motion predictions for sites on deep sedimentary basins. The new model (GK15), developed to be simple, is applicable to the western United States and other regions with shallow continental crust in active tectonic environments and may be used for earthquakes with moment magnitudes 5.0-8.0, distances 0-250 km, average shear-wave velocities 200-1,300 m/s, and spectral periods 0.01-5 s. Directivity effects are not explicitly modeled but are included through the variability of the data. Our aleatory variability model captures inter-event variability, which decreases with magnitude and increases with distance. The mixed-effects residuals analysis shows that the GK15 reveals no trend with respect to the independent parameters. The GK15 is a significant improvement over Graizer and Kalkan (2007, 2009), and provides a demonstrable, reliable description of ground-motion amplitudes recorded from shallow crustal earthquakes in active tectonic regions over a wide range of magnitudes, distances, and site conditions.

The operation of the North Anna nuclear power station (NANPS), located approximately 22 km northeast of the epicenter, was affected by the earthquake vibration. This moderate event caused the first incident in which a commercial U.S. nuclear power plant experienced a safe shutdown as a result of earthquake ground motion. Post-earthquake investigations confirmed that important safety-related structures, systems, and components (SSCs) at the NANPS did not have any detectable damage. Damage at the NANPS consisted of cracking and spalling of some of the non-safety-related ancillary structures, and the plant was restarted after three months of intensive inspections and reviews. Response spectra developed from the recorded ground motion at the NANPS showed a modest exceedance of the plant seismic design levels for safety-related SSCs, but these SSCs were not damaged and maintained their functionality. The NANPS performance, in combination with other global examples, shows that nuclear power plants have been able to function safely even when earthquake ground motions exceeded the design levels of the SSCs. In this paper we describe the observed earthquake effects at the NANPS and discuss the original geologic and seismic characterization of the plant site. We also discuss the impacts of other earthquakes on the performance of various nuclear power plants, and previous and current seismic hazard and risk evaluations for U.S. nuclear power plants.

The two control systems were each coupled separately with a micro-fission chamber to measure the current pulses of the neutron fluxes in the core at excess reactivity of 4 mk. The MCCLS and CC meter readings at a pre-set flux of 5.0 x 10 super(11) n/cm super(2) s were 6.42 x 10 super(11) n/cm super(2) s and 5.0 x 10 super(11) n/cm super(2) s respectively. Due to ageing and obsolescence, the MCCLS and some components that control the sensitivity and the reading mechanism of the meters were replaced. One of the fission chambers was also removed and the two control systems were coupled to one fission chamber. The reliability of the neutronic parameters of the control systems was assessed after the replacement. The results showed that when the reactor is operated at different power levels of 5-30 kW using one micro-fission chamber, the pre-set neutron fluxes at the control systems is 1.6 times the neutron fluxes obtained using a flux monitor at the inner irradiation site two of the reactor. The average percentage deviations of the obtained fluxes from the pre-set values of 1.67 x 10 super(11)-1.0 x 10 super(12) n/cm super(2) s were 36.5%. This compares very well with the decrease in core excess reactivity of 36.3% of the nominal value of 4 mk, after operating the reactor at critical neutron flux of 1.0 x 10 super(9) n/cm super(2) s.

The Aleppo basin comprises two limestone aquifers: the first one is shallow unconfined of Paleogene age and the second is deep confined of Upper Cretaceous age. The chemical data indicate that dissolution of carbonate and evaporites is the main process controlling groundwater quality. In the mainly unconfined modern groundwater, the wide range of delta super(34)S sub(SO4) values (10.39-17.6 ppt) indicates a variety of input sources. The likely sources of sulfur include meteoric precipitation and sewage waters which recharge the aquifer through Qweik River crossing the area. These waters have low SO sub(4) super(2-) concentration (20 mg/L). Sulfate increases in deep confined groundwater in some of which gypsum saturation is reached. The delta super(34)S sub(SO4) and delta super(18)O sub(SO4) are relatively constant with mean values of 18.5 and 13.5 ppt, respectively. This indicates that gypsum and anhydrite dissolution are the primary sources of sulfate. This water is associated with higher depleted value of delta super(18)O sub(H2O). The heavier delta super(13)C sub(DIC) with mean value -1.8 ppt and high Mg super(2+) concentration ( similar to 100 mg/L) in the high sulfate deep groundwater, indicates that the de-dolomitization reactions dominate along flow paths where sulfate concentrations increase.

Discussion Under the provisions of part 40 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, "Domestic Licensing of Source Material," an NRC materials license is required to conduct uranium recovery by conventional mill or heap leach techniques. Each section in the Draft NUREG-2126 provides guidance on what information is to be reviewed, the basis for the review, how the NRC staff review is to be accomplished, what the staff will find acceptable in a demonstration of compliance with applicable regulations, and the evaluation criteria for determining compliance with the applicable regulations.

Zoosporangia and sporangiophores were analysed for P. halstedii isolates. Significant morphological differences were revealed for all pathogen isolates. Mean oval proportion was 78.3 plus or minus 3.5%, mean zoosporangium size was 459.2 plus or minus 30.2 mu m super(2), mean sporangiophore length was 556.9 plus or minus 36.2 mu m and mean sporangiophore width was 10.3 plus or minus 0.9 mu m. Our results provide evidence that the morphology of pathogen do not correlate with both pathogenic and genetic variation.

AN - 16380984; 16347 AB - PURPOSE: This supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) has been prepared in response to an application submitted by Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) to renew the operating license for Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (GGNS), for an additional 20 years. This SEIS includes the analysis that evaluates the environmental impacts of the proposed action and alternatives to the proposed action. Alternatives considered include: new nuclear generation, natural gas-fired combined-cycle generation, supercritical coal-fired generation, combination alternative, and no renewal of the license (the no-action alternative). The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs) recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for GGNS are not great enough to deny the option of license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers. This recommendation is based on the following: the analysis and findings in NUREG1437, Volumes 1 and 2, Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants; the Environmental Report submitted by Entergy; consultation with Federal, State, local, and Tribal government agencies; the NRCs environmental review, and consideration of public comments received during the scoping process and the draft SEIS comment period.

Wilbur Nuclear Reactor Facility AN - 1634832507 AB - The LCWNRF provided graduate and undergraduate students with reactor operating experience and experimental practice in the fields of nuclear engineering, metallurgy, chemistry, and physics, as well as irradiation services for other teaching, medical, and industrial institutions. All FSSR measurements were found to be less than the DP FSSP criteria, and NRC's analytical results from independent confirmatory surveys were consistent with the WPI FSSR results. [...]the NRC staff has concluded that the WPI LCWNRF has completed decommissioning in accordance with the approved DP. Additionally, the NRC staff determined in its March 29, 2011, letter that DP FSS criteria would provide residual radioactivity that will not exceed 25 millirem (0.25 milliSievert) per year, and that doses would be reduced to levels as low as reasonably achievable, consistent with the release criteria in subpart E of 10 CFR part 20. [...]NRC evaluation of the WPI LCWNRF FSSR, DP, and associated documentation has determined that the facilities and site are suitable for unrestricted release in accordance with the criteria for license termination in 10 CFR part 20, subpart E. Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(b)(6), the WPI LCWNRF in Worcester, Massachusetts, has completed decommissioning and Facility Operating License No. JF - Nuclear Regulatory Commission Documents and Publications Y1 - 2014/12/10/ PY - 2014 DA - 2014 Dec 10 CY - Lanham PB - Federal Information & News Dispatch, Inc.

The NRC recognizes that licensees that have permanently ceased operations and have no fuel in the reactor vessel present a significantly reduced risk to public health and safety than operating reactors. Because of the lower comparative risk from a decommissioning power reactor, licensees typically make a case for exemptions on the basis that the application of a specific regulation in the particular circumstance of decommissioning plants is not necessary to achieve the underlying purpose of the regulations and orders.

It is the first time that such a measurement is extended below 1 K. Variations are almost linear down to 1 K, with a little upward curvature, and the slope of H sub( )c2(T) decreases below 1 K. The reduced critical field extrapolates to 0.9 when the temperature approaches zero, higher than the WHH upper limit of 0.69 conformably with the extension of this model for anisotropic superconductors. Angular dependence of the critical field is also determined at 5.5 K. Variations are the same as expected for a 3D-anisotrpic superconductor and the anisotropy value confirms previous results.

Stacking is along the c-axis. Each of these two subsystems has its own 3D lattice and space group, and they have a common (b*,c*) plane in the reciprocal lattice so that the a axes are parallel and of irrational ratio. The physical properties of this compound have never been investigated. Accurate resistivity anisotropy measurement down to the liquid nitrogen temperature is presented here. Findings: The in-plane resistivity shows an anomaly at 202 K, and the out-of-plane resistivity shows also anomalies at 202 and 222 K and an upward curvature between 100 and 222 K. Consequently, the resistivity anisotropy shows peculiarities; mainly an important jump at 222 K. This behavior is discussed in the framework of a possible magnetic ordering and/or anisotropic lattices distortions. Although, the role of this work is to draw the attention to these features and further investigations to confirm these results would be of interest. Conclusion: Further investigations are needed, mainly magnetic and crystallographic in function of temperature in order to conclude definitely whether there is any phase transition or not.

Measured vertical and horizontal crustal motion patterns are not explained by extant glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) models. These models have ice histories dominated by ice loss following the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and rely on 1D earth models, with rheological properties varying only radially. Seismological results from POLENET-ANET are revealing significant complexity in lateral variation in earth properties. For example, crustal thickness variations occur not only across the East-West Antarctic boundary, but also between crustal blocks within West Antarctica. Modeling of mantle viscosity based on shear wave velocities shows a sharp lateral gradient from high-to-low viscosity in the Ross Embayment, a much more gradual gradient in the Weddell Embayment, and very low viscosities below Marie Byrd Land and the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE). Remarkable vertical and horizontal bedrock crustal motion velocity magnitudes, directions and patterns correlate spatially, in many aspects, with earth property variations mapped by seismology. Within the ASE, extremely high upward velocities are flanked by subsiding regions - neither predicted by GIA models. Given the thin crust and low mantle viscosity, it is likely that this is not an LGM signal, which would have already relaxed, and uplift due to the elastic response to modern ice mass change clearly is important. Along the East-West Antarctic boundary in the Ross Embayment, GIA-induced horizontal crustal motions are toward, rather than away from, the principal ice load center, correlating spatially with the strong lateral gradient in crustal thickness and mantle viscosity. In the Weddell Embayment region, where crustal thickness is intermediate between East and West Antarctica and mantle viscosity values are moderate, crustal motions show the best match with predictions of GIA models. It is clear that lateral variations in earth properties fundamentally control the isostatic response to ice mass changes in Antarctica. Ongoing, integrated seismic-GPS studies are critical to developing the next generation of GIA models.

Patterns of vertical crustal displacements are commonly considered the key fingerprints of GIA, with maximum uplift marking the position of former ice load centers. However, efforts to develop more realistic 3D earth models have shown that the horizontal motion pattern is a more important signature of GIA on a laterally varying earth. Here we provide the first measurements substantiating predictions of a reversal of horizontal motions across an extreme gradient in crustal thickness and mantle viscosity crossing Antarctica. GPS results document motion toward, rather than away from the sites of major ice mass loss in West Antarctica. When compared in a common reference frame, observed crustal motions are not in agreement with predictions from models of GIA. A gradient in crustal velocities, faster toward West Antarctica, is spatially coincident with the rheological boundary mapped from seismic tomographic results. This suggests that horizontal crustal motions are strongly influenced by laterally-varying earth properties, and demonstrates that only 3D earth models can produce reliable predictions of GIA for Antarctica.

The benchmark calculations were performed independently by the participating teams using different thermal hydraulic and safety analysis codes that comprise of CATHARE, RELAP5, MERSAT and PARET. The code RELAP5 was used independently by four of the participating teams and therefore the user effect and its impact on the code results can be characterized.

This study has been made in an attempt to find the structural integrity of the fuel assembly (FA) of Chashma Nuclear Power Plant-1 (CHASNUPP-1) at room temperature in air. The finite element (FE) model comprises spacer grids, fuel rods, flexible contact between the fuel rods and grids' supports system (springs and dimples) and guide thimbles with dash-pots and flow holes, in addition to the spot welds between spacer grids and guide thimbles, has been developed using Shell181, Conta174 and Targe170 elements. Since the results of both studies (analytical and experimental) are comparable, therefore, validation of the FE methodology is confirmed. The SINT and stresses are less than the design stress limit of the materials used for the grid (ASTM, 2013), fuel rod (ASTM, 2002) and the guide thimble (ASTM, 2004).

Such support scale can substantially differ from the support scale in laboratory or field measurements of flow and transport parameters. The scale dependence of flow and transport parameters essentially precludes the direct use of measured or pedotransfer-estimated parameter values in numerical simulations. The hypothesis of this work was that a support-based scaling law can be introduced that can convert pedotransfer-estimated saturated hydraulic conductivity values into values to be used over grid cells for finite-element-based simulations of water flow and tracer transport in variably saturated soils. A 4-month-long experiment was conducted at the USDA-ARS experimental site where Cl- as a tracer was applied with a pulse of irrigation water and its transport in groundwater and variably saturated shallow coarse-textured soils was monitored in two rows of wells on a daily basis. The HYDRUS-3D software was used to set and calibrate the Richards model for flow simulations and the convective-dispersive equation for transport simulations. Saturated hydraulic conductivity values were estimated with class pedotransfer functions derived from the USDA database containing results of about 1000 measurements in soils of different textures and bulk densities. A power law scaling for the saturated hydraulic conductivity was suggested based on literature data. When only two parameters of the scaling law rather than nine values of hydraulic conductivity from nine soil materials were calibrated, using the scaled saturated hydraulic conductivity values resulted in an accuracy of simulations that was similar to the accuracy of the calibrated model results. Upscaling of pedotransfer-estimated saturated hydraulic conductivities can provide reasonable estimates for numerical flow and transport modeling in variably saturated soils.

The mean concentration of iron and cadmium were 0.723 plus or minus 0.448 mg/L and 0.032 plus or minus 0.012 mg/L, respectively. The mean cobalt concentration was 0.071 plus or minus 0.049 mg/L, while the mean Zn concentration in the samples was 0.060 plus or minus 0.097 mg/L. The mean concentrations of Pb and Cu in the fruit juice samples were 0.178 plus or minus 0.091 mg/L and 0.053 plus or minus 0.063 mg/L respectively. About 78 % of the samples exceeded the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) maximum contaminant level of 0.3 mg/L prescribed for iron, whereas all the samples exceeded the USEPA maximum contaminant level of 0.005 mg/L prescribed for cadmium.

AN - 16380841; 16315 AB - PURPOSE: This supplemental environmental impact statement has been prepared in response to an application submitted by Union Electric Company, a subsidiary of Ameren Corporation and doing business as Ameren Missouri (Ameren) to renew the operating license for Callaway Plant, Unit 1 (Callaway), for an additional 20 years. This supplemental environmental impact statement includes the analysis that evaluates the environmental impacts of the proposed action and alternatives to the proposed action. Alternatives considered include replacement power from new natural-gas-fired combined cycle (NGCC) generation; new supercritical pulverized coal-fired generation; new nuclear generation; a combination alternative that includes NGCC generation, wind power, and energy efficiency; and not renewing the license (the no -action alternative). The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs) recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for Callaway are not great enough to deny the option of license renewal for energy planning decision makers. This recommendation is based on the following: the analysis and findings in NUREG1437, Volumes 1 and 2, Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants; the environmental report (ER) submitted by Ameren; consultation with Federal, state, and local agencies; and the NRCs environmental review and consideration of public comments received during the reviewing process.

Since plant construction cannot proceed until the NRC review of the application is completed, a mandatory hearing is completed, and a license is issued, the exemption does not increase the probability of postulated accidents. Additionally, based on the nature of the requested exemption as described above, no new accident precursors are created by the exemption; thus, neither the probability, nor the consequences of postulated accidents are increased.

Not with standing the core conversion process, it is also important for the facility to have a storage cask available when the spent fuel finally reaches its end of cycle to temporarily store the fuel until permanent storage is provided. This showed that the design was capable of keeping the spent fuel sub critical. The dose rates were also reduced from the source to the surface of the casks for all six designs. The cask, had the best neutron and gamma shielding effect, therefore, the cask is recommended.

An attempt at benchmarking the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach using a set of available test data from a small facility is outlined. A CFD model simulating a full-scale reactor system is developed for the lower plenum of a representative BWR/4 design and SLCS flows and mixing are studied under a range of flow conditions. The full-scale BWR simulation builds upon the lessons learned from the benchmark exercise. One challenge for this work is the large size of the domain and the relatively small size of the geometric details such as flow passages and gaps. The geometry is simplified to make meshing feasible by eliminating some of the small features. The model includes the lower plenum, control rod drive tubes, basic support structures, and SLCS piping. A series of simulations are completed and modeling choices are discussed in light of best practice guidance.

AN - 1561036000; 25120234 AB - Patulin is a polyketide-derived mycotoxin produced by numerous filamentous fungi. Among them, Penicillium expansum is by far the most problematic species. This fungus is a destructive phytopathogen capable of growing on fruit, provoking the blue mold decay of apples and producing significant amounts of patulin. The biosynthetic pathway of this mycotoxin is chemically well-characterized, but its genetic bases remain largely unknown with only few characterized genes in less economic relevant species. The present study consisted of the identification and positional organization of the patulin gene cluster in P. expansum strain NRRL 35695. Several amplification reactions were performed with degenerative primers that were designed based on sequences from the orthologous genes available in other species. An improved genome Walking approach was used in order to sequence the remaining adjacent genes of the cluster. RACE-PCR was also carried out from mRNAs to determine the start and stop codons of the coding sequences. The patulin gene cluster in P. expansum consists of 15 genes in the following order: patH, patG, patF, patE, patD, patC, patB, patA, patM, patN, patO, patL, patI, patJ, and patK. These genes share 60-70% of identity with orthologous genes grouped differently, within a putative patulin cluster described in a non-producing strain of Aspergillus clavatus. The kinetics of patulin cluster genes expression was studied under patulin-permissive conditions (natural apple-based medium) and patulin-restrictive conditions (Eagle's minimal essential medium), and demonstrated a significant association between gene expression and patulin production. In conclusion, the sequence of the patulin cluster in P. expansum constitutes a key step for a better understanding of the mechanisms leading to patulin production in this fungus. It will allow the role of each gene to be elucidated, and help to define strategies to reduce patulin production in apple-based products.

Irradiation was performed using a Syrian research reactor (RR) (Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR)) and a gamma source (Co-60 cell). For RR irradiation, MCNP code was used to calculate the absorbed dose received by the transistors. The experimental results showed an overall decrease in the gain factors of the transistors after irradiation, and the JFETs were more resistant to the effects of radiation than BJTs. The effect of RR irradiation was also greater than that of gamma source for the same dose, which could be because neutrons could cause more damage than gamma irradiation.

AN - 1671584926; 20664182 AB - Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus L.) has been recognised as one of the best nutritional crops that can be used to augment the Ghanaian diet. The application of gamma irradiation as means of preserving tiger nut could modify the characteristics of resultant flour. The purpose of this study was to determine the physicochemical, functional and pasting characteristics of flour from gamma irradiated tiger nut. The yellow and black types of tiger nut were sorted, washed and dried in an air-oven at 60 [degrees]C for 24 h. The dried tiger nut samples were irradiated at 0.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 kGy and then flours produced from them. Moisture, ash, pH, titratable acidity, water and oil absorption capacities, swelling power, solubility, bulk density and pasting properties of the flours were determined using appropriate analytical methods. Results showed that irradiation did not significantly (P > 0.05) affect the moisture and ash contents of the resultant flours. Gamma irradiation significantly (P [< or =] 0.05) increased titratable acidity with concomitant decrease in pH of the flours. No significant differences were observed for water and oil absorption capacities, swelling power as well as bulk density. Solubility significantly (P [< or =] 0.05) increased generally with irradiation dose. Peak viscosity, viscosities at 92 [degrees]C and 55 [degrees]C, breakdown and setback viscosities decreased significantly with irradiation dose. Flour produced from irradiated tiger nut has a potential in complementary food formulations due to its low viscosity and increased solubility values.

However, workers found in accident-related scenarios often assume varied postures. This paper describes the development and application of two phantoms with adjusted postures specified by data acquired from a motion capture system to simulate unique human postures found in a 1999 criticality accident that took place at a JCO facility in Tokai-Mura, Japan. In the course of this accident, two workers were fatally exposed to extremely high levels of radiation. Implementation of the emergent techniques discussed produced more accurate and more detailed dose estimates for the two workers than were reported in previous studies. A total-body dose of 6.43 and 26.38 Gy was estimated for the two workers, who assumed a crouching and a standing posture, respectively. Additionally, organ-specific dose estimates were determined, including a 7.93 Gy dose to the thyroid and 6.11 Gy dose to the stomach for the crouching worker and a 41.71 Gy dose to the liver and a 37.26 Gy dose to the stomach for the standing worker. Implications for the medical prognosis of the workers are discussed, and the results of this study were found to correlate better with the patient outcome than previous estimates, suggesting potential future applications of such methods for improved epidemiological studies involving next-generation computational phantom tools.

AN - 1688474599; 16265 AB - PURPOSE: This Generic Environmental Impact Statement for Continued Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel (GEIS) generically determines the environmental impacts of continued storage, including those impacts identified in the remand by the Court of Appeals in the New York v. NRC decision, and provides a regulatory basis for a revision to 10 CFR 51.23 that addresses the environmental impacts of continued storage for use in future NRC environmental reviews. In this context, the environmental impacts of continued storage means those impacts that could occur as a result of the storage of spent nuclear fuel at at-reactor and away-from-reactor sites after a reactors licensed life for operation and until a permanent repository becomes available. The GEIS evaluates potential environmental impacts to a broad range of resources. Cumulative impacts are also analyzed. Because the timing of repository availability is uncertain, the GEIS analyzes potential environmental impacts over three possible timeframes: a short-term timeframe, which includes 60 years of continued storage after the end of a reactors licensed life for operation; an additional 100-year timeframe (60 years plus 100 years) to address the potential for delay in repository availability; and a third, indefinite timeframe to address the possibility that a repository never becomes available. All potential impacts in each resource area are analyzed for each continued storage timeframe. The GEIS contains several appendices that discuss specific topics of particular interest, including the technical feasibility of continued storage and repository availability as well as the two technical issues involved in the remand of New York v. NRCspent fuel pool leaks and spent fuel pool fires. Finally the GEIS contains NRCs responses to public comments on the draft GEIS and proposed Rule and in doing so provides additional technical background on, and explanation of, the GEISs analyses and conclusions. The GEIS also discusses the NRCs Federal actionthe adoption of a revised Rule, 10 CFR 51.23, to codify (i.e., adopt into regulation) the analysis in the GEIS of the environmental impacts of continued storage of spent fueland the options the NRC could take under the no-action alternative.

N1 - Last updated - 2014-09-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: LIMERICK GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 1674681267; 16254 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the nuclear power plant operating licenses for Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 (LGS), located in Limerick Township of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 49th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final generic EIS identified 92 issues and reached conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants. Neither the applicant, Exelon Generation Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has identified new information for any of the 69 generic issues (Category 1). Plant-specific review for the remaining 23 issues (Category 2) with regard to operations and refurbishment activities are addressed in this supplement. In addition, new Category 1 and Category 2 issues based on the NRC's pending revision to the generic EIS are considered. If the licenses are renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would decide whether to continue plant operations based on factors such as the need for power. Without renewal, the licenses would expire on October 26, 2024, and June 22, 2029, respectively. The 645-acre LGS site is located 1.7 miles southeast of the Borough of Pottstown, 19 miles northwest of the City of Reading, and 9.3 miles southeast of the Borough of Phoenixville. Other nearby population centers are the Municipality of Norristown (11 miles southeast), and the City of Philadelphia, (21 miles southeast). LGS is a steam electric generating facility that began commercial operation in February 1986 (Unit 1) and January 1990 (Unit 2). The nuclear reactor for each unit includes a single-cycle, forced circulation, General Electric Mark II boiling water reactor producing a reactor core rated thermal power of 3,515 megawatts thermal. The nominal net electrical capacity is 1,170 megawatts electric. Fuel enrichment and average peak rod burnup conditions are no more than five percent uranium-235 and 62,000 megawatt-days per metric ton of uranium, respectively. Primary containment surrounds the reactor vessel and also houses the reactor coolant recirculation pumps and piping loops. Secondary containment encloses the reactors primary containment and spent fuel storage pool areas. The primary containment is a steel-lined reinforced concrete pressure-suppression system of the over-and-under configuration. The secondary containment system is a reinforced concrete building and is designed to minimize the release of airborne radioactive materials under accident conditions. LGS uses a cooling tower-based heat dissipation system that primarily relies upon the Schuylkill River for its makeup water supply and, secondarily, Perkiomen Creek. The majority of the makeup water withdrawn is to provide cooling water for the LGS steam turbine condensers. As water evaporates in the cooling towers to dissipate heat to the atmosphere, cooling water is lost and must be replaced. Additionally, to control the chemistry of the circulating water in the cooling system, a portion of the cooling water is continuously discharged. A much smaller portion of the makeup water is used to remove heat from auxiliary equipment during normal operation. A clay-lined spray pond located north of the cooling towers provides emergency cooling but has an insignificant interface with the environment. In addition to the proposed license renewal, this final supplemental EIS considers replacement power alternatives and not renewing the license (No Action Alternative). Replacement power options considered include natural gas-fired combined-cycle generation, supercritical pulverized coal-fired, new nuclear generation, wind power, and purchased power. The NRC's preliminary recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for LGS are not great enough to deny the option of license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the licenses would provide an option that allows for power generation capability beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license to meet future system generating needs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Makeup water demands of up to 56.2 million gallons per day for LGS would continue to have a small impact on water resources. Given that license renewal would not involve new construction, refurbishment, ground-disturbing activities, or changes to existing land use conditions at LGS-associated facilities or transmission lines, the continued operation of LGS is not likely to noticeably affect protected species. Radiation doses from continued operations during the license renewal term are expected to continue at current levels and would remain below regulatory limits.

Karlin, Chairman, Michael M. Gibson and Dr. Gary S. Arnold I. Introduction This proceeding concerns a July 11, 2014 enforcement order issued by Patricia K. Holahan, Acting Director, Office of Enforcement of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Director) against Mr. James P. Chaisson. /1/ The Director alleges that Mr. Chaisson failed to comply with certain provisions of a confirmatory order that the Director issued to him in 2012 (2012 Order). [...]of the ADR, Mr. Chaisson signed an "Agreement in Principal [sic] . . . in which he agreed to terms and conditions to be memorialized in a Confirmatory Order." Among other things, the 2012 Order prohibited Mr. Chaisson from engaging in NRC-licensed activities for an 18-month period, during which time he was required: a. To complete a 40-hour formal training course designed for qualifying radiation safety officers; b. To complete a 40-hour formal training course that meets or exceeds the requirements of 10 CFR 34.43; and c. To submit an article to NRC "articulating the importance of compliance with NRC regulations and providing full and accurate information."

The Exemption Presents No Undue Risk to Public Health and Safety The exemption is related to the financial surety.\n The NRC has determined that while the WDEQ does not require an STA, the special revenue account may serve a similar purpose in that forfeited funds are not deposited into the State treasury for general fund use, but instead are set aside in the special revenue account to be used exclusively for site-specific reclamation (decommissioning) purposes. Because Uranerz remains obligated to establish an adequate financial assurance mechanism for its licensed sites, the NRC has approved such a mechanism, and the NRC has determined that sufficient funds are available in the event that the site needs to be decommissioned. A temporary delay in establishing an STA does not impact the present availability and adequacy of the actual financial assurance mechanism.

N1 - Last updated - 2014-09-02 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Assessment of Indoor and Outdoor Radon Levels in South Lebanon AN - 1808694283; PQ0003306939 AB - The presence of high indoor radon concentrations, C x , is a major concern of the public worldwide. Measurements of indoor radon in South Lebanon have been achieved using CR-39 detectors. C x values ranged between 30 and 122 Bq m super(-3) in one of the major towns in the area and are compared with measured atmospheric air Radon. Moderate seasonal variation of C x indoors has been observed, although 90 % of the obtained indoor C x measurements are below 100 Bq m super(-3). Some homes produced C x readings above the permissible limit. Results showed that the ventilation effect played a major factor in reducing radon concentration levels indoors. Health assessment has been considered. Annual effective doses of radon varied from 1.01 plus or minus 0.10 to 8.65 plus or minus 0.50 mSv a super(-1) in six homes in one of the four cases studied. These dosage values are above the permitted limit of 2.5 mSv a super(-1). Several types of granite contained in the studied homes were identified and their contributions to radon levels indoors were calculated.

More than 1,000 samples of soil, water, plants and aquatic life were collected from different locations. The measurements were realized using gamma spectroscopy, and the results showed that radioactivity concentrations were low overall. Concentrations ranged from below detection limits to several tens Bq kg super(-1) (dry matter) or 9.8 mBq L super(-1) (water), which were well below maximum allowable levels in food or drinking water as established according to Syrian national standards or the WHO/FAO Codex guidelines. However, high super(137)Cs activity levels were observed in soil samples collected at a high elevation (Kadmous highs), where a mean concentration of 1,900 Bq kg super(-1) was obtained.

N1 - Last updated - 2014-08-26 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - EARLY SITE PERMIT (ESP) AT THE PSEG SITE, SALEM COUNTY, NEW JERSEY. AN - 1669442105; 16230 AB - PURPOSE: On May 25, 2010, PSEG Power, LLC, and PSEG Nuclear, LLC (PSEG) submitted an application to the NRC for an ESP at the PSEG Site located adjacent to the existing Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS) and Salem Generating Station (SGS) in Lower Alloways Creek Township, Salem County, New Jersey. The PSEG Site is located on the southern part of Artificial Island adjacent to the existing HCGS and SGS, Units 1 and 2, in Lower Alloways Creek Township, Salem County, New Jersey. The PSEG Site is on the eastern bank of the Delaware River about 18 mi south of Wilmington, Delaware, and 30 mi southwest of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The site is about 7 mi east of Middletown, Delaware; 7.5 mi southwest of Salem, New Jersey; and 9 mi south of Pennsville, New Jersey. Cooling water for any new nuclear units constructed at the PSEG Site would be obtained from the Delaware River. These units would use either mechanical or natural draft cooling towers to transfer waste heat to the atmosphere. A portion of the water obtained from the Delaware River would be returned to the environment via a discharge structure located in the Delaware River on the western side of Artificial Island. The remaining portion of the water would be released to the atmosphere via evaporative cooling. Alternatives that include a no-action alternative, as well as alternative energy sources, siting locations, and system designs were analyzed. It was concluded that, from an environmental perspective, none of the viable baseload alternatives (natural gas, coal, or a combination of alternatives) is clearly environmentally preferable to building new baseload nuclear power generating units at the PSEG Site. The following four alternative sites were reviewed: (1) Site 4-1 in Hunterdon County, New Jersey; (2) Site 7-1 in Salem County, New Jersey; (3) Site 7-2 in Salem County, New Jersey; and (4) Site 7-3 in Cumberland County, New Jersey. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed new power plant would have a beneficial impact on the regional and local economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The cumulative environmental impacts on land use, surface-water use and quality, groundwater use and quality, terrestrial and wetland ecosystems, and historic and cultural resources would be moderate. The new cooling towers would contribute to moderate cumulative physical impacts associated with aesthetics in certain locations, and traffic impacts during the peak periods for building a new nuclear plant 1 would contribute to moderate cumulative impacts for infrastructure and community services. The incremental impacts associated with the development of the causeway and the transmission lines would be the principal contributors to the moderate cumulative impacts for land use and also to the moderate impacts for historic and cultural resources. Extensive past and present use of surface water from the Delaware River would be the primary driver for the moderate impacts for surface-water use and quality. Similarly, extensive past and present groundwater withdrawals from the local aquifer system would contribute to the moderate cumulative impacts to groundwater resources. Cumulative terrestrial and wetland ecosystem impacts would be moderate because of the loss of habitat from development of the causeway and the transmission line corridors. The significant history of the degradation of the Delaware Bay and Delaware River Estuary has had a noticeable and sometimes destabilizing effect on many aquatic species and communities. Building and operating any new nuclear plant at the PSEG Site, in conjunction with the operations of the existing HCGS and SGS nuclear units, would contribute to moderate to large cumulative impacts to aquatic ecosystems.

N1 - Last updated - 2014-08-19 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2, HAMILTON COUNTY, TENNESSEE (FIFTY-THIRD DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 1662628483; 16217 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 in Hamilton County, Tennessee is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 53rd supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS identified 92 issues and reached conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants. Neither the applicant, Tennessee Valley Authority, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 generic issues. Plant-specific review for the remaining 23 issues with regard to operations and refurbishment activities are addressed in this supplement. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would decide whether to continue plant operations based on factors such as the need for power. Without renewal, the license for both units 1 and 2 would expire on September 17, 2020 and September 15, 2021, respectively. The Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN) is a two-unit, nuclear-powered steam-electric generating facility that began commercial operation in July 1981 (Unit 1) and June 1982 (Unit 2). The nuclear reactor for each unit is a Westinghouse pressurized-water reactor (PWR), producing a reactor core rated thermal power of 3,455 megawatts thermal. Under the Proposed Action, refurbishment activities such as replacement and repair of major systems, structures, and components would be carried out. SQN Units 1 and 2 are PWRs. All original SQN steam generators have been replaced. The last steam generator replacement took place in 2012. The SQN site is approximately 18 miles (mi) (29 kilometers (km)) northeast of Chattanooga, Tennessee, and approximately 31 mi (50 km) south-southwest of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) site. The SQN site is approximately 630 acres (ac) (250 hectares (ha)). The power production portion of SQN is located on 525 ac (212 ha). SQNs training center is located on the remaining 105 ac (42.5 ha). The SQN site is located on a peninsula on the western shore of Chickamauga Reservoir at Tennessee River Mile (TRM) 484.5. The town of Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee, is located 6 mi (10 km) west of site. Figure 31 and Figure 32 present 50-mi (80-km) and 6-mi (10-km) vicinity maps, respectively. The SQN sites main structures include two reactor buildings, a turbine building, an auxiliary building, a control building, a service and office building, a diesel generator building, an intake pumping station, an essential raw cooling water (ERCW) pumping station, two natural draft cooling towers, 161-kilovolt (kV) and 500-kV switchyards, a condensing water discharge and diffuser system, and an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI). The sites tallest structures are the two 459-ft cooling towers. In addition to the proposed license renewal, alternative methods of power generation and a No Action alternative are considered in this draft supplemental EIS. Replacement power options considered include new natural gas-fired combined-cycle generation, supercritical pulverized coal generation, new nuclear generation, and a combination of wind and solar generation. The preliminary recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for CGS are not great enough to deny the option of license renewal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the Tennessee Valley Authority to meet the needs of its public utilities members from across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Consumptive surface water use from continued SQN operations will continue to be a very small percentage of the overall flow of the Tennessee River through Chickamauga Reservoir. Potential impacts to surface water resources include prolonged drought and temperature increases. Long-term warming could potentially affect navigation, power production, and municipal and industrial users, although the magnitude of the impact is uncertain. Construction of new transmission lines, power plants, or residential areas over the proposed license renewal term have the potential to affect terrestrial resources.

Pathogenic and molecular analyses were carried out on seven isolates including five progeny isolates of five races arising from two parental races 100 and 710. P. halstedii isolates showed significant differences for all aggressiveness criteria and important genetic variations. Three cases of relationship between virulence and aggressiveness for progeny isolates as compared with parental ones were found as positive, negative or uncorrelated. For solving the specificity of these cases, relationship between the two components of pathogenicity among the isolates of three different races localised in the same genetic clade was positive. The hypothesis explaining these cases is discussed.

The aim of the present study was to analyze whether tumor cells and normal cells demonstrate the same response to PTU. Human colon carcinoma cells were irradiated with gamma -irradiation with or without PTU. We evaluated the clonogenic survival, intracellular reactive oxygen species levels, catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities, and apoptosis by nuclear cell morphology and caspase-3 activity assays. Cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels were measured by radioimmunoassay. PTU treatment increased surviving cell fraction at 2 Gy (SF2) from 56.9 plus or minus 3.6 in controls to 75.0 plus or minus 3.5 (p < 0.05) and diminished radiation-induced apoptosis. In addition, we observed that the level of antioxidant enzymes' activity was increased in cells treated with PTU. Moreover, pretreatment with PTU increased intracellular levels of cAMP. Forskolin (p < 0.01) and dibutyryl cAMP (p < 0.05) mimicked the effect of PTU on SF2. Co-treatment with H89, an inhibitor of protein kinase A, abolished the radioprotective effect of PTU. PTU reduces the toxicity of ionizing radiation by increasing cAMP levels and also possibly through a reduction in apoptosis levels and in radiation-induced oxidative stress damage. We therefore conclude that PTU protects both normal and cancer cells during exposure to radiation in conditions mimicking the radiotherapy.

These molecules are degraded by lactonases. In this study, six Bacillus simplex isolates were characterized and identified as a new quorum-quenching species of Bacillus. An aiiA gene encoding an AHL-lactonase was identified based on evidence that: (i) it showed high homology with other aiiA genes of Bacillus sp.; (ii) the deduced amino acid sequence contained two conserved regions, 104SHLHFDH111 and 165TPGHTPGH173, characteristic of the metallo- beta -lactamase superfamily; and (iii) the protein had zinc-dependent AHL-degrading activity. Additionally, the expression of the aiiA gene was significantly up-regulated by 3-oxo-AHL. The AHL-lactonase inhibited multiplication of the 3-oxo-C6-AHL-producing plant pathogen Erwinia amylovora sy69 both in vitro and in planta. The results provide support for the use of the quorum-quenching functionality of B. simplex in the integrated control of the devastating fire blight pathogen.

AN - 1537594512; 24345773 AB - In marine and estuarine species, immunotoxic and/or immunomodulatory mechanisms are the crossroad of interactions between xenobiotics, microorganisms and physicochemical variations of the environment. In mussels, immunity relies exclusively on innate responses carried out by cells collectively called hemocytes and found in the open hemolymphatic circulatory system of these organisms. However, hemocytes do not form a homogenous population of immune cells since distinct subtypes of mussel blood cells can be distinguished by cytochemistry, flow cytometry or cell motility analysis. Previous studies have also shown that these cells are able to efflux xenobiotics by means of ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter activities conferring a multixenobiotic resistance (MXR) phenotype. ABC transporters corresponding to vertebrate class B/P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and to class C/multidrug resistance related protein (MRP) are characterized in Mytilidae. Herein, we have investigated the relative contributions of ABCB- and ABCC-mediated efflux within the different hemocyte subpopulations of Mytilus edulis mussels, collected from areas differentially impacted by chemical contaminants in Normandy (France). RT-PCR analyses provide evidence for the presence of ABCB and ABCC transporters transcripts in hemocytes. Immunodetection of ABCB/P-gp with the monoclonal antibody UIC2 in living hemocytes revealed that expression was restricted to granular structures of spread cells. Efflux transporter activities, with calcein-AM as fluorescent probe, were measured by combining flow cytometry to accurate Coulter cell size measurements in order to get a cell-volume normalized fluorescence concentration. In these conditions, basal fluorescence levels were higher in hemocytes originating from Yport (control site) than in cells collected from the harbor of Le Havre, where mussels are more exposed to with persistent pollutants. By using specific ABCB/P-gp (verapamil, PSC833, zosuquidar) and ABCC/MRP (MK571) blockers, we show that MXR activity is only carried out by MRP-type transporters in M. edulis hemocytes. In addition, cell-type-gated flow cytometry and calculation of the MXR activity factor indicate that ABCC-efflux activity is higher and more inducible in eosinophilic granulocytes than in other hemocyte subtypes. We conclude that, in the hemocytes of M. edulis, MXR phenotype is mediated by an ABCC/MRP-type transporter activity principally supported by eosinophilic granulocytes. A role for ABC transporters in hemocyte migration is discussed.

AN - 1530953828; 24534156 AB - Dioxins (PCDD/Fs) are persistent organic pollutants. Their accumulation in soil is a crucial step in their transmission through the ecosystem. Traceability of dioxin in soil was evaluated in four sites A, B, C and D considered as potential industrial PCDD/Fs sources in Syria. Our results showed that the highest pollution with dioxin (⩾50 ppt) was found in site C (vicinity of Homs refinery). In parallel, analysis of physicochemical proprieties and bacterial density of soil samples were carried out. Bacterial density differed significantly among samples between 68×10(4) and 64×10(6) CFU g(-1)DW. Analysis of 16S rRNA encoding sequences showed that the genus Bacillus was the most abundant (74.7%) in all samples, followed by the genera Arthrobacter and Klebsiella with 5.2% and 4.7%, respectively. The genera Microbacterium, Pantoea, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter and Exiguobacterium formed between 2.1% and 2.6%. Cellulomonas, Kocuria, Lysinibacillus, Staphylococcus and Streptomyces were in a minority (0.5-1%). The bacterial richness and biodiversity, estimated by DMg and H' index, were highest in the heavily polluted site. Molecular screening for angular dioxygenase (AD α-subunit) and the cytochrome P450 (CYPBM3) genes, led to identification of 41 strains as AD-positive and 31 strains as CYPBM3-positive. RT-real-time PCR analysis showed a significant abundance of AD α-subunit transcript in the heavily dioxin-polluted soils, while the expression of CYPBM3 was highest in the moderately polluted soils. Our results illustrate the microbial diversity and functionality in soil exposed to dioxin pollution. Identification of dioxin-degrading bacteria from polluted sites should allow bioremediation to be carried out.

AN - 1549959761 AB - B.\n NRC has determined that while the WDEQ does not require an STA, the special revenue account may serve a similar purpose in that forfeited funds are not deposited into the State treasury for general fund use, but instead are set aside in the special revenue account to be used exclusively for site-specific reclamation (i.e., decommissioning) purposes. Because Uranium One remains obligated to establish an adequate financial assurance mechanism for its licensed sites, and the NRC has approved such a mechanism, sufficient funds are available in the event that the site would need to be decommissioned. A temporary delay in establishing an STA does not impact the present availability and adequacy of the actual financial assurance mechanism. [...]the limited exemption being issued by the NRC herein presents no undue risk to public health and safety.

The chitosan content in the films was varied from 20% to 80% (w/w). Tensile strength (TS) and tensile modulus (TM) of the starch-based composites were improved significantly with the addition of chitosan. Water vapor permeability (WVP) and oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of chitosan-reinforced starch-based films showed a significant reduction compared to native chitosan film and indicated better barrier properties to water vapor and oxygen. The water uptake of the films pointed out better hydrophobic character due to the incorporation of chitosan in starch-based films. Thermal stability was also found to increase with the addition of chitosan in starch-based films and was confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy supported the molecular interactions due to the reinforcement of chitosan in starch-based films. Surface and interface morphologies of chitosan film and starch/chitosan composite film were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and suggested sufficient homogenization of starch and chitosan in the biodegradable composite films.

In this study, some neutronic safety parameters such as control rod worth, core excess reactivity, loss of reactivity with power increases, power defect, reactivity coefficients, cooling effect on fuel temperature and xenon poisoning were measured of the 3 MW TRIGA Mark-II research reactor of Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC). All of these safety parameters have significant effect on the reactor control system. Many of the reactor parameters which determine the reactivity of reactor are dependent on the temperature of the fuel, moderator and coolant. The TRIGA fuel elements have been designed to provide a significant prompt negative temperature coefficient of reactivity that allows safe reactor operation. The neutronic safety parameters were measured with digital instrumentation & control (I&C) system of the 3 MW TRIGA research reactor. The experimental results of neutronic parameters were found within the safety limit as mentioned in the Safety Analysis Report (SAR) of the BAEC 3 MW TRIGA research reactor. The present study will contribute to analyze the behavior of neutronic safety parameters that occur in the reactor core and to provide an experimental database for validation and improvement of the models of the reactor.

Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data reveal that the peak of surface displacement is near the Ziarat anticline, a large active fold affected by Quaternary strike-slip faulting. All coseismic interferograms integrate the deformation due to both earthquakes. As their causative faults ruptured close to each other, the individual signals cannot be separated. According to their focal mechanisms, each earthquake may have activated a NE-SW sinistral or a NW-SE dextral fault segment, which leads to four possible scenarios of fault orientations. A nonlinear inversion of the InSAR data set allows rejecting two scenarios. The best slip distributions on the two fault segments for the two remaining scenarios are determined by linear inversion. Stress-change modeling favors a scenario involving two abutting conjugate strike-slip faults. Two other fault segments accommodated left-lateral strike slip during the seismic sequence. The activated fault system includes multiple fault segments with different orientations and little surface expression. This may highlight, at a smaller scale, the distributed, possibly transient character of deformation within a broader right-lateral shear zone. It suggests that the activated faults delineate a small tectonic block extruding and subtly rotating within the shear zone. It occurs in the vicinity of the local tectonic syntaxis where orogenic structures sharply turn around a vertical axis. These mechanisms could participate in the long-term migration of active tectonic structures within this kinematically unstable tectonic syntaxis. Abstract Copyright (2014), .

Portable radon meter has been used for the measurement of soil gas radon at 30 different locations around Uro and Korn area in eastern Nuba Mountain South Kordofan State. The results indicate that the activity concentrations of (super 222) Rn in soil gas fall within the range of 20-1,359 Bq/m (super 3) with geometric mean of 102.80 Bq/cm (super 3) . The obtained data show that samples around Uro have anomaly of (super 222) Rn concentrations than the sample around Korn. The reason could be attributed to differences in the geological structure, lithology and climate parameters. GIS predicative map has shown that the elevated levels of radon concentration were measured in North study area. Upon comparing the results with global data, it was found that the obtained values are far below the reported range of India, Slovenia, Portugal and Syria. However, the range of (super 222) Rn concentrations in the soil observed in this study is significantly high relative to similar data reported from Libya. The regression analysis has shown that no correlation was noted between radon concentrations, climatic parameters and trace element.

The results showed that (super 210) Pb and (super 210) Po in fly-ash (economizer, superheater) is highly enriched with (super 210) Pb and (super 210) Po, while bottom-ash (boiler) is depleted. The highest (super 210) Pb and (super 210) Po activity concentrations were found to be in economizer ash, whereas the lowest activity concentration was in the recirculator ash. On the other hand, (super 210) Pb and (super 210) Po activity concentrations in soil samples were found to be higher inside the plant site area than those samples collected from surrounding areas. The highest levels were found in the vicinity of Mhardeh and Tishreen power plants; both plants are operated by heavy oil and natural fuels, while the lowest values were found to be in those samples collected from Nasrieh power plant, which is only operated by one type of fuel, viz. natural gas. In addition, the levels of surface soil contamination have decreased as the distance from the power plant site center increased. Abstract Copyright (2014) Elsevier, B.V.

The physical and ionic parameters were mostly found within the WHO (Guidelines for drinking-water quality, 3rd edn, Geneva 2004) standard for drinking water. The trace metals except Cu at some sites recorded values above the WHO (Guidelines for drinking-water quality, 3rd edn, Geneva 2004) standard for drinking water. This shows that the river water is not entirely fit for drinking. Mean values of physico-chemical parameters were mostly found to be high in the dry season as compared to the wet season. Cluster analysis (CA) and principal component analysis (PCA) were employed to evaluate the water quality and the interrelationship between variables. CA grouped the physico-chemical parameters into three groups (physical/minor ions, major ions and trace elements). Correlation analysis showed that physico-chemical parameters do not vary much in terms of the sampling sites. Thus, based on obtained information, it is possible to design a future, desirable sampling strategy, which could reduce the number of sampling stations and associated costs for effective river water quality management. Results showed that four principal components (industrial effect, domestic factor, natural source and agricultural effect) accounted for 65.59 % of the total variance among the water quality parameters. PCA also identified sampling sites 69R, 63R, 51M, 87L, 35L, 74L and 84L as polluted with metals. Therefore, water quality monitoring and control of release of industrial and anthropogenic wastes into the river are strongly needed.

Irradiation was effective in reducing the microbial load and increasing the shelf-life of goat meat. The radiation doses required to reduce the microorganisms by 90 percent (D10) in goat meat were 294 and 400 Gy for Salmonella and E. coli, respectively. The main fatty acids identified from the goat meat were oleic, stearic, and palmitic acids. No significant differences were observed in moisture, crude protein, crude fat, ash, pH value, fatty acids, total acidity, volatile basic nitrogen, and sensory properties (texture, flavour, colour, and taste) of irradiated and non-irradiated goat meat. Lipid peroxidation measured in terms of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) increased on irradiation and chilled storage. Sensory evaluation showed no significant differences between irradiated and non-irradiated goat meat.

AN - 1509409569; 24275148 AB - Dioxins are persistent organic pollutants. Their bioaccumulation in the food chain makes dioxins a considerable risk for human health. The use of plants for removing toxic organic compounds, including dioxins, is a safe and efficient strategy. Herein we studied the toxicity effects and the biological responses in Arabidopsis thaliana to 2',3',7',8'-tetrachlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) exposure. First, TCDD-induced toxicity was demonstrated using several parameters including, a decrease in seed germination, a loss in fresh weight with a striking decrease in chlorophyll content, but not in carotenoids, and an augmentation in the biomass of the lateral roots system, but not in the elongation of the primary root. Uptake of TCDD by Arabidopsis was confirmed. Responses to TCDD-exposure were marked by an enhanced level of hydrogen peroxide H2O2 production and a massive stimulation of anti-oxidative enzyme activities. Moreover, a significant variation in the transcript level of transcription factor genes, bHLH, MYB and AP2-EREBP was detected in Arabidopsis shoot and an up-regulation of WRKY, MYB and IAA was observed in the root. Our results illustrate the TCDD-induced toxicity effects and the biological responses of Arabidopsis to TCDD. Better understanding of the plants ability to detoxifydioxins would help to improve their use as a safe bioremediators.

[...]exemptions from 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 10 CFR 50.75(h)(1)(iv) are needed to allow DEK to withdraw funds from the Trust for irradiated fuel management prior to completion of all decommissioning activities. The staff's review and conclusions are based on DEK's specific financial situation and decommissioning approach as described in the KPS PSDAR and the updated Irradiated Fuel Management Plan. [...]DEK has demonstrated reasonable assurance that sufficient funding will be available for both decommissioning and for irradiated fuel management and that the exemptions from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 10 CFR 50.75(h)(1)(iv), with respect to use of the trust funds for irradiated fuel management, will still achieve the underlying purposes of the rules. -- JF - Nuclear Regulatory Commission Documents and Publications Y1 - 2014/05/29/ PY - 2014 DA - 2014 May 29 CY - Lanham PB - Federal Information & News Dispatch, Inc.

N1 - Last updated - 2014-05-16 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Variability in aerobic methane oxidation over the past 1.2 Myrs recorded in microbial biomarker signatures from Congo Fan sediments AN - 1545408320; 2014-055466 AB - Methane (CH (sub 4) ) is a strong greenhouse gas known to have perturbed global climate in the past, especially when released in large quantities over short time periods from continental or marine sources. It is therefore crucial to understand and, if possible, quantify the individual and combined response of these variable methane sources to natural climate variability. However, past changes in the stability of greenhouse gas reservoirs remain uncertain and poorly constrained by geological evidence. Here, we present a record from the Congo fan of a highly specific bacteriohopanepolyol (BHP) biomarker for aerobic methane oxidation (AMO), 35-aminobacteriohopane-30,31,32,33,34-pentol (aminopentol), that identifies discrete periods of increased AMO as far back as 1.2 Ma. Fluctuations in the concentration of aminopentol, and other 35-aminoBHPs, follow a pattern that correlates with late Quaternary glacial-interglacial climate cycles, with highest concentrations during warm periods. We discuss possible sources of aminopentol, and the methane consumed by the precursor methanotrophs, within the context of the Congo River setting, including supply of methane oxidation markers from terrestrial watersheds and/or marine sources (gas hydrate and/or deep subsurface gas reservoir). Compound-specific carbon isotope values of -30 ppm to -40 ppm for BHPs in ODP 1075 and strong similarities between the BHP signature of the core and surface sediments from the Congo estuary and floodplain wetlands from the interior of the Congo River Basin, support a methanotrophic and likely terrigenous origin of the 35-aminoBHPs found in the fan sediments. This new evidence supports a causal connection between marine sediment BHP records of tropical deep sea fans and wetland settings in the feeding river catchments, and thus tropical continental hydrology. Further research is needed to better constrain the different sources and pathways of methane emission. However, this study identifies the large potential of aminoBHPs, in particular aminopentol, to trace and, once better calibrated and understood, quantify past methane sources and fluxes from terrestrial and potentially also marine sources.

N1 - Last updated - 2014-05-05 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Assessment of the environmental footprint of nuclear energy systems. Comparison between closed and open fuel cycles AN - 1677974093; 20586954 AB - Energy perspectives for the current century are dominated by the anticipated significant increase of energy needs. Particularly, electricity consumption is anticipated to increase by a factor higher than two before 2050. Energy choices are considered as structuring political choices that implies a long-standing and stable policy based on objective criteria. LCA (life cycle analysis) is a structured basis for deriving relevant indicators which can allow the comparison of a wide range of impacts of different energy sources. Among the energy-mix, nuclear power is anticipated to have very low GHG-emissions. However, its viability is severely addressed by the public opinion after the Fukushima accident. Therefore, a global LCA of the French nuclear fuel cycle was performed as a reference model. Results were compared in terms of impact with other energy sources. It emphasized that the French nuclear energy is one of the less impacting energy, comparable with renewable energy. In a second, part, the French scenario was compared with an equivalent open fuel cycle scenario. It demonstrates that an open fuel cycle would require about 16% more natural uranium, would have a bigger environmental footprint on the "non radioactive indicators" and would produce a higher volume of high level radioactive waste.

The Scenario Authoring, Characterization, and Debriefing Application (SACADA) database was developed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to address this data need. An agreement between NRC and the South Texas Project Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC) was established to support the SACADA development with aims to make the SACADA tool suitable for implementation in the nuclear power plants' operator training program to collect operator performance information. The collected data would support the STPNOC's operator training program and be shared with the NRC for improving HRA quality. This paper discusses the SACADA data taxonomy, the theoretical foundation, the prospective data to be generated from the SACADA raw data to inform human reliability and human performance, and the considerations on the use of simulator data for HRA. Each SACADA data point consists of two information segments: context and performance results. Context is a characterization of the performance challenges to task success. The performance results are the results of performing the task. The data taxonomy uses a macrocognitive functions model for the framework. At a high level, information is classified according to the macrocognitive functions of detecting the plant abnormality, understanding the abnormality, deciding the response plan, executing the response plan, and team related aspects (i.e., communication, teamwork, and supervision). The data are expected to be useful for analyzing the relations between context, error modes and error causes in human performance.

PCO could be degraded by bacteria, fungi, and yeast. In yeast, the family CYP52 (P450ALKs) of Cytochrome P450 was described as n-alkane-degrading enzymes. In this study, we isolated a new strain SHSY of Saccharomyces able to grow on hydrocarbons compounds. Morphological and molecular characterization led to identify the isolated yeast SHSY as a Saccharomyces cerevisiae. SHSY strain had a remarkable ability to tolerate a high concentration of PCO and use it as a carbon source. A significant relationship was established between the increase in biomass (42.46 plus or minus 1.01-fold) and the disappearance of the crude oil (72.34%) in an aqueous solution. A 690-bp amplicon corresponding to a high conserved region of known CYP450ALK genes was amplified in the genomic DNA of SHSY strain. The sequence of the amplified fragment shared a high identity (71.8%) with CYP52A3 gene of Pichia stipites. The expression of CYP52A3 homolog gene was induced and the expression of both InoP2/InoP4 transcription factor genes in SHSY was stimulated in the presence of PCO. The identified strain SHSY of S. cerevisiae presents an interesting model to minimize the mixed toxicity of PCO in polluted environmental sites.

AN - 1518249488; 4552205 AB - The objective of the study is to investigate the link between health care expenditures (HCE), economic growth and health outcomes (i.e., life expectancy (LE), infant mortality and the share of elderly people) for a panel of South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries; namely, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka; over the period of 1995-2010. The developed panel cointegration technique is employed for analysis of short and long-run relationship between the variables. The results of panel cointegration found that there is a long-run relationship between health expenditures, economic growth and health outcomes in SAARC region. The estimated results indicate that both, LE and share of elderly people in population have a negative relationship related to the HCEs which signifies that HCEs are luxury goods in SAARC countries. The burden of aging population can be lowered by provision of quality health services and utilization of their experience and knowledge in dynamics of economic development forecasting. Furthermore, there is no significant relationship found between infant mortality rate (IMR) and HCEs which implies that HCEs do not provide sufficient benefits to reduce infant mortality. Similarly, HCEs are not enough in generating GDP, lowering IMR and increasing LE in SAARC region. The implementation of appropriate tax reform, stable food prices and trade promotion for low transaction cost medical equipment is required for the SAARC region.

Because the licensee remains obligated to establish an adequate financial assurance mechanism for its licensed sites, and the NRC has approved such a mechanism, sufficient funds are available in the event that the site would need to be decommissioned.

Based on the above and the available information reviewed by the staff, the NRC concludes that no significant impact on land use and visual resources, geologic environment, air quality and noise, historic and cultural resources, socioeconomic conditions including environmental justice, or waste generation and management activities would occur near HNP from granting the proposed license amendment.

Summer Nuclear Station, Unit 1 AN - 1512407214 AB - The purpose of the investigation was to: (1) Review the facts and circumstances surrounding the actions of a former Environmental Health and Safety Specialist, Stone & Webster, Inc. (Shaw) employee, who in approximately September of 2010 falsified an SNS Unit 1 Personnel History Questionnaire (PHQ) and provided a fictitious court record to deliberately conceal potentially disqualifying criminal history information in order to obtain employment at the site, and (2) determine whether the SNS access officials properly adjudicated potentially disqualifying information in this individual's PHQ, and supporting materials, prior to granting him unescorted access authorization (UAA) during the September 2010 time frame. No issues requiring corrective actions were identified (completed on April 28, 2011). e. SCE&G performed industry benchmarking of the issues including expectations for access officials in reviewing and adjudicating documents having raised seals (completed in July 2013). f. SCE&G established an immediate interim requirement that in all cases where adjudication of a criminal history is required for making an access decision, the applicant must provide documentation having an official raised seal from the judicial source (e.g., court of law) or a telephonic authentication from the appropriate judicial entity (completed on March 3, 2011). g. SCE&G made program improvements to its access authorization procedure, SAP-1005, including requiring a second, independent review of significant derogatory information, defining the term "independent", incorporating an in-process checklist, adding a method for making corrections to the Personal History Questionnaire (PHQ) information and ensuring information is marked as corrected, including a requirement that copies/faxes of official documents used to adjudicate criminal history must be sent directly to access officials (completed on August 4, 2011).

N1 - Last updated - 2014-04-03 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Challenges and prospects of cost-effective Si-based solar cells fabrication in Bangladesh AN - 1717496199; PQ0001214372 AB - Solar cells are the basic building blocks of Solar Panels or Modules. There are presently nine companies manufacturing solar modules in the country. The total demand for solar cells in assembling solar modules of the nine companies are about 80-90MWp annually. In assembling solar modules, major raw materials include finished solar cells, bus bars, EVA, Al frame, tempered glass etc. All of them are import dependent for the case of Bangladesh. It is found that about 55-60% of total panel/module cost depends on solar cells. Cost-effective power generation using solar module solely depends on the quality of solar cells. Now-a-days, cost of solar cells has been decreasing rapidly over the last 3-4 years due to large scale production plants, technological improvement, declining cost of raw materials and competitiveness in the global markets. Solar cells which were used to sell for USD2.5 per Wp can be bought on a commercial scale for around USD1.2 per Wp. Mainly, cost of solar cell depends on the Brand, type of crystal structure (Mono or Multi) and the shape or size of wafer. For the first time in the country, 'Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC)' has set up a laboratory to fabricate crystalline solar cells on a pilot basis. The method used to fabricate solar cells is the low-cost diffusion technique using POCl3 gas source. Several solar cells of 150150 mm2 sizes and 200 micrometer thick are produced and characterized in the laboratory. The results have shown us some challenges and good potentialities in getting the high-efficient and cost effective solar cells. The paper addresses the challenges and potentialities in fabricating the quality based crystalline solar cells using slightly p-doped Si-wafers and chemicals in order to adopt technology so as to reduce the cost of solar modules. If the cost effective technology can be made familiar in Bangladesh then it will help in solving the power crisis in the country a great deal.

High resolution y-spectrometry with the aid of handheld radiation survey meters has been used. The radioactivity measurements has shown that super(238)U, super(40)K and super(137)Cs were only measurable in one sample whereas super(125)Sb was found in 14 samples out of total of 20 samples with an activity concentration which ranged from 21 to 7404 with an average value of 1095 Bq/kg. The activity concentration of super(125)Sb is highly variable indicating that the spent super(99m)Tc generator columns are of different origin. This investigation highlighted the importance of radiation monitoring of spent technetium generators in the country in order to protect workers, and the public from the dangers posed by radioactive waste.

These kinds of UVR detectors change their optical properties in correlation with the dose. This work aims to investigate the gafchromic film EBT2 properties under high UVA radiation dose comparable with long exposure to solar radiations. Measurements showed that about 90% of UVA radiation beam is absorbed in single films sheet (285 pm thickness). The EBT2 film components show good stability under high ultraviolet radiation dose. The increase in film visible spectrum absorbance, under UVA irradiation, is due to the decrease in the film active and topcoat layers transmittance and not of the polyester layers degradation. The change in film absorbance at 633 nm, after UVA dose of 112 kj/m super(2), is about two and half times more than the initial value of unexposed film A sub(0 633 nm) (A sub(0 633 nm) [thickapproximate]0.6). The phenomenon of post-exposure stability for the studied EBT2 film is found reproducible and has a small impact on the measurement accuracy ( [thickapproximate] 1%). The studied EBT2 film absorbance changes depend on the applied UVR dose and not on the irradiance level. Relative divergence between the film responses, measured at different dose rates, is lower than 5% for a wide irradiance range. This dependency is justified by the variation of local responsivity in the film and also the irradiation source stability. The response linearity of the gafchromic film EBT2 has been confirmed over a wide dose rate range in the UVA spectrum.

A large fraction of the solids accumulated on the activated carbon consisted of iron oxides, in particular magnetite nanoparticles, and of iron oxyhydroxides, specifically goethite and lepidocrocite. These species formed as a result of corrosion of iron or carbon steel pipes. The removal of various iron species was measured using a two-column system consisting of a column of coarse activated carbon followed by a column of fine activated carbon. The results indicated that coarse activated carbon was only effective in removing oxyhydroxide particles, while the fine activated carbon was also able to remove nanoparticles of anhydrous iron oxides such as magnetite and maghemite. In addition, it was observed that while a majority of the content of contaminants, such as lead and copper, was removed upon passing the water through the coarse activated carbon, a significant fraction of the contaminant content was only removed upon subsequently passing the water through the fine activated carbon. It was concluded that most of the content of lead, copper, and other contaminants was associated with the iron oxyhydroxides, but a sizeable fraction was associated with the magnetite nanoparticles. Thus, the results supported the assumption that the presence of contaminants associated with magnetite nanoparticles in drinking water can be a significant mode of contaminant transport through water distribution systems.

The present study was carried out to observe the sensitivity level of immature stages of A. aegypti mosquito to gamma irradiation. Different developmental stages of A. aegypti were exposed to a series of irradiation doses in Co super(60) gamma source to observe sensitivity regarding egg hatching, pupation, adult emergence, mortality and body size. Irradiation doses of 1-10 Gray were applied to eggs, 10-100 Gy to larvae and 10-250 Gy were applied to pupae. Egg hatching, pupae formation and adult emergence decreased with increasing dose (p = 0.000). Pupation decreased significantly (p = 0.000) with increasing radiation dose in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th instar larvae. Regression analysis showed increase of percent mortality with increasing dose significantly in both 19-23 h old (early) and 42-46 h old (late) pupae (p = 0.000). A linear positive relationship was found between doses and mortality in both larvae and pupae. Irradiation of early and late pupae had no significant effect on adult emergence up to 40 Gy, however, while higher doses applied (100-250 Gy) emergence rate decreased significantly (p = 0.000). Lethal dose, LD sub(50) and LD sub(90) for 4th instar larvae were lower than pupae but higher than eggs. Even, LD sub(50) and LD sub(90) for early pupae were lower than late pupae. There was no significant effect of radiation on wing length compared to control (unirradiated) which were exposed to radiation at pupal stage (p = 0.153).

It is because these steels have relatively high ductility, fracture toughness and moderate strength. However, the LWR internal components exposure to neutron irradiation over an extended period of plant operation degrades the materials mechanical properties such as the fracture toughness. This paper summarizes some of the results of the existing open literature data on irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) of 316 CW steels that have been published by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC), industry, academia, and other research agencies.

The effects of gamma radiation on pupation, adult emergence, sex ratio and rate of development were examined. Results showed that the radiosensitivity of the grape vine moth larvae increased with increasing radiation dose. The seventy of the effect, however, depends on the cntenon used for measuring effectiveness; adult emergence was more severely affected than pupation. Pupation was significantly affected at 150 Gy and decreased by about 25% at 250 Gy. Adult emergence, on the other hand, was significantly affected at 100 Gy and completely prevented at 200 Gy. Probit analysis of dose mortality data for pupation and adult emergence show that the LD sub(99) for preventing subsequent development to pupae and adults was 2668 and 195 Gy, respectively. In addition, the rate of development of mature larvae to the adult stage was negatively affected and sex ratio was skewed in favor of males.

This evolution that has taken place over implementation of 18 PHWRs (200/220/540 MWe) has encompassed all aspects of containment design, viz. the structural system, energy management system, radio-activity management and hydrogen management system. As a part of ongoing efforts toward strengthening of safety performance, India is also ready with the design of Advance Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR), which represents a technology demonstrator for advanced reactor systems and for thorium utilization. This reactor has a number of improved passive safety features and it is capable of meeting the demanding safety challenges that future reactor system would be expected to meet as a result of emerging expectations in the background of accidents over the past three decades viz. those at Three Mile Island (1979). Chernobyl (1986) and most recently at Fukushima (2011). In this lecture I shall focus on the evolution of nuclear reactor containments in India and highlight the design. associated structural and thermal hydraulics safety assessment made over the years for the improvement of containment performance.

To face new problems that arise from the weakness of the magnitudes we want to deal with, two methods were developed. First, a depth-phase recognition method is applied, based on a new improved cepstral analysis. In addition, we develop a focal mechanism genetic algorithm inversion that focuses on depth resolution through an envelope-fitting procedure and adapted reproduction and mutation functions. Six events of interest were analyzed to validate these new proposed methods. First, the teleseismic depth of the recent Corsica earthquake (France, 7 July 2011) was estimated at about 26 km, whereas regional inversions do not provide any constraints. This proposed depth has a direct impact for regional tectonic studies, as this implies that this earthquake occurred in the continental crust. In contrast, the shallow Sardinia event (Italy, 3 January 2011) took place in the oceanic crust. The depth of the Virginia event (United States, 23 August 2011) was also constrained using these methods, and we show that it is possible to constrain the focal depth even for weak magnitude events, such as the m (sub b) 3.6 Ardeche earthquake (France, 3 August 2011). In the case of the Po Plain earthquake (Italy, 27 January 2012), this provides another example of the great interest in teleseismic analysis, where the detection of the Moho reflected phase (pmP) shows without doubt an upper-mantle event. Finally, the Murcia event (Spain, 11 May 2011) shows the limits of these methods for very shallow events (<4-5 km). We show that these new depth determinations improve our ability to understand the geologic processes, as they provide complementary information on the source and are not affected by lateral crustal heterogeneities.

The NRC has determined that the backfit provisions in section 50.109 do not apply to non-power reactor licensees because the rulemaking record for section 50.109 indicates that the Commission likely intended to apply this provision to only power reactors, and NRC practice has been consistent with this rulemaking record.

Because the material specifications of Optimized ZIRLOTM differ from the specifications for zircaloy or ZIRLOTM, a plant-specific exemption is required to support the reload applications for Seabrook. The regulations in 10 CFR 50.46 and Appendix K are not directly applicable to Optimized ZIRLOTM, even though the evaluations described in the following sections of this exemption show that the intent of the regulation is met. [...]since the underlying purposes of 10 CFR 50.46 and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix K are achieved through the use of Optimized ZIRLOTM fuel rod cladding material, the special circumstances required by 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii) for the granting of an exemption exist.

AN - 1563040244; 16055 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a new source and byproduct material license for the construction, operation, aquifer restoration, and decommissioning of an in-situ leach uranium recovery (ISR) facility north of the town of Moorcroft and Interstate 90 in Crook County, Wyoming is proposed. Strata Energy Inc. submitted a license application in January 2011 for the Ross ISR Project, which would be located in the Nebraska-South Dakota-Wyoming Uranium Milling Region, one of four regions specified in the final generic EIS of June 2009 for In-Situ Leach Uranium Milling Facilities. The ISR process involves injecting water to which chemicals have been added, referred to as lixiviant, into the aquifer bearing the uranium ore. The chemicals in the lixiviant dissolve the uranium from the rock within the aquifer. Ground water containing dissolved uranium is then pumped from the ore-zone aquifer, processed through ion-exchange columns to remove the uranium from the lixiviant, and then the uranium is precipitated into a solid material called yellowcake. Most of the water is then reused for uranium recovery. This final supplemental EIS considers three alternatives. Under the proposed action (Alternative 1), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) would issue a license for the Ross Project which would host 15 to 25 wellfield areas (a total of 1,400 to 2,000 recovery and injection wells) on 1,721 acres in the north half of the 56-square-mile Lance District. Groups of wells within a wellfield would be connected with piping to a central collection facility and the wellfields would be surrounded by a perimeter ring of monitoring wells. Injection wells would be used to introduce lixiviant into the uranium mineralization; recovery wells would be used to extract uranium-bearing solutions; and monitoring wells would be used to identify and assess impacts of ongoing operations and detect groundwater excursions. The ISR facility would include a central processing plant (CPP) that houses the uranium- and vanadium-processing equipment, drying and packaging equipment, and water-treatment equipment. Additional facilities would include a chemical storage area, a warehouse, maintenance and administration buildings, two double-lined surface impoundments, a sediment impoundment, and five deep injection wells. The facility could be used to process uranium-loaded resins from satellite projects within the Lance District operated by the applicant, or from other offsite uranium-recovery projects not operated by the applicant, or from offsite water-treatment operations. With that option, the life of the facility would be extended to 14 years or more. Under the No-Action Alternative (Alternative 2), the NRC would not issue a license and no uranium would be allowed to be recovered from the subsurface ore zone. Under Alternative 3, the CPP and surface impoundments would be constructed at a site north of the proposed location, but the wellfields would remain in the same locations as in the proposed action. This alternative facility location would require additional, substantial earth-moving to construct the surface impoundments, but a containment barrier wall would not be required. The preliminary NRC staff recommendation is that a source and byproduct material license be issued as requested, unless safety issues mandate otherwise. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would authorize commercial-scale ISR uranium recovery with mitigation measures to ensure public safety and protection of environmental resources. Increased employment, economic activity, and tax revenues would benefit Crook County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Short-term potential impacts of lixiviant excursions from uranium-recovery operation to the ore-zone aquifer outside the active ISR area would be small to moderate. With respect to the deep aquifers where injection of liquid byproduct wastes would occur, regular monitoring of the water quality of the injected brine would ensure that potential impacts to ground-water quantity and quality in the deep aquifers would be small. Archaeological and historical sites may be disturbed by construction. Within the area of potential effect at the proposed project, 25 sites are being treated as eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Construction traffic is expected to increase traffic volume by 400 percent on the New Haven Road south of the project area. Traffic volume associated with facility and wellfield operation would be double that of 2010 levels.

This laboratory consists of benzene synthesis line and a low background liquid scintillation counter, Tri-Carb 3180 TR/SL for measurements with Bismuth Germanate (BGO) guard detector. The effectiveness of the benzene line was tested firstly by preparing benzene from a wood sample after carbide and acetylene receiving. Normalization and standardization of the liquid scintillation counter was carried out, as well as the Factor of Merit (E2/B) was determined for three different counting regions. To assure accuracy and reliability of results, reference materials were used. Based on z-score and u-score evaluation, as well as Student's t-test, acceptable data were obtained from travertine and wood samples available through the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA-C2 and IAEA-C5), and humic acid (U) and murex shell (R) from the Fifth International Radiocarbon Intercomparison (VIRI). After that, a preliminary study was done, which is the base for future research in order to assess the anthropogenic impact and degree of environmental pollution in terms of radiocarbon isotope ratio (Delta 14C) deduced from the Percent Modern Carbon or PMC. This work represents the results of four reference materials and those of five green grass samples. The Delta 14C of green grass samples collected from two different clean zones were found to be 50 ppm and 52 ppm, while the values of those collected from different polluted zones were 23 ppm, 7 ppm and 15 ppm.

Gamma spectrometry was used to determine (super 137) Cs and (super 210) Pb activity concentrations. The bottom of the cores was (super 210) Pb-dated to years 1907 and 1893. The accumulation rates were determined using (super 210) Pb method and found to vary similarly in both cores from 0.10 + or - 0.01 to 3.78 + or - 0.57 kg m (super -2) y (super -1) during the past century.

Large volumes of soil become highly contaminated with radium isotopes ( (super 226) Ra and (super 228) Ra). In the present work, laboratory experiments have been conducted to reduce the activity concentration of (super 226) Ra in soil. Two techniques were used, namely mechanical separation and chemical treatment. Screening of contaminated soil using vibratory sieve shaker was performed to evaluate the feasibility of particle size separation. The fractions obtained were ranged from less than 38 mu m to higher than 300 mu m. The results show that (super 226) Ra activity concentrations vary widely from fraction to fraction. On the other hand, leaching of (super 226) Ra from soil by aqueous solutions (distilled water, mineral acids, alkaline medias and selective solvents) has been performed. In most cases, relatively low concentrations of radium were transferred to solutions, which indicates that only small portions of radium are present on the surface of soil particles (around 4.6%), while most radium located within soil particles; only concentrated nitric acid was most effective where 50% of (super 226) Ra was removed to aqueous phase. However, mechanical method was found to be easy and effective, taking into account safety procedures to be followed during the implementation of the blending and homogenization. Chemical extraction methods were found to be less effective. The results obtained in this study can be utilized to approach the final option for disposal of NORM contaminated soil in the oilfields.

Therefore, the present work attempts to determine the status of eight heavy metal distribution in sediments and water samples, and their ecological risks' assessment in the studied area. The distribution pattern of heavy metals in the water and sediment follows the sequences: Zn > Cu > Pb > Cr > Mn > Ni > As > Cd and Mn > Zn > Cr > Pb > Cu > Ni > As > Cd, respectively. Gross water pollution is observed at different sampling points of Dhalai Beel and Bangshi River. The comparison of sedimentary mean metal concentrations with several environmental contamination monitoring parameters, viz, threshold effect level (TEL), probable effect level (PEL), and severe effect lever (SEL) indicates that the metal levels are less than PEL except Cr. Moreover, the level of contamination degree (C sub(d)) and modified degree of contamination (mC sub(d)) indicates 'low' and 'nil to low' degree of contamination, respectively. Pollution load indices (PLI) of the studied area are lower than unity, indicates no pollution. Furthermore, a toxic-response factor is applied to assess the potential ecological risk of these heavy metals into the water body. The results of this study exhibit a low potential ecological risk of heavy metals. The Pearson's correlation and cluster analysis are also performed to assess the heavy metal interactions in water and sediment samples.

AN - 16392249; 16046 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1, located in Ottawa County, Ohio, is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 52nd supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all nuclear power reactor license renewals. The final EIS identified 92 issues and reached conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 78 of these issues that apply to all plants. Neither the applicant, FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has identified new information for any of the 78 generic issues. Plant-specific review for the remaining 17 issues with regard to operations and refurbishment activities are addressed in this supplement. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would decide whether to continue plant operations based on factors such as the need for power. Without renewal, the license would expire on April 22, 2017. Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 1, is located 25 miles east of Toledo, Ohio. It is situated on the southwest coastline of Lake Erie. The 954-acre site is located in Caroll Township, Ottawa County, just north of the Toussaint River with approximately 7,500 feet of Lake Erie frontage. Approximately 700 acres are marshland that is leased to the US Government as a national wildlife refuge. Davis-Besse is a single-unit pressurized water reactor (PWR) plant that uses closed-cycle cooling (using cooling towers to recirculate up to 95 percent of the cooling water). The plant is licenses for an electrical output of 2,817 megawatts-thermal (MWt) and 913 megawatts-electric (MWe). Davis-Besse is a single unit nuclear power plant that began commercial operation on April 22, 1977. It is equipped with a Babcock and Wilcox-designed PWR. Davis-Besse includes a nuclear steam supply system supplied by Babcock and Wilcox Company and a turbine generator designed and manufactured by General Electric Company. Davis-Besse was initially licensed to operate at a maximum steady-state core power level of 2,772 MWt. In 2008, amendments of the operating license and technical specifications allowed an increase in the rated thermal power of 1.63 percent. The reactor has a current electrical output of 2,817 MWt and 913 MWe gross. An additional 17 MWt is contributed to the cycle by the reactor coolant pumps, resulting in a net electrical output of about 925 MWe. Davis-Besses fuel for the reactor core consists of slightly enriched uranium dioxide pellets sealed in Zircaloy-4 or M5 tubes. The complete core has 177 fuel assemblies arranged in a square lattice to approximate a cylinder. In addition to the proposed license renewal, alternative methods of power generation and a No Action Alternative are considered in this draft supplemental EIS. Replacement power options considered are new natural-gas-fired combined-cycle generation, a combination alternative that includes some natural-gas-fired capacity and a wind-power component, and a coal-fired power plant. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow FENOC to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. All other alternatives capable of meeting the needs currently served by Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant would entail potentially greater impacts than the proposed action of license renewal. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased noise and lighting may reduce bald eagle habitat usage for a short time. Emissions from 2,300 vehicles over a nine month refurbishment period may exceed the thresholds for carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and VOCs in non-attainment and maintenance areas.

Background On January 18, 2011, President Obama issued E.O. 13563, "Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review." /1/ Executive Order 13563 directs Federal agencies to develop and submit a preliminary plan "under which the agency will periodically review its existing significant regulations to determine whether any such regulations should be modified, streamlined, expanded, or repealed so as to make the agency's regulatory program more effective or less burdensome in achieving the regulatory objectives." Cumulative Effects of Regulation (CER) Comment: The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) submitted a comment on the draft Plan that suggested "the intent of the retrospective analysis could be met through addressing the cumulative effects of NRC regulatory actions, rulemaking and other NRC regulatory processes resulting in greater benefit in safety and resource management." The staff should engage industry to seek volunteer facilities to perform "case studies" to review the accuracy of cost and schedule estimates used in NRC's regulatory analysis (such as the 10 CFR [ Code of Federal Regulations ] Part 73 security upgrades required after the attacks of September 11, 2011 and 10 CFR 50.84c, NFPA 805 program).

N1 - Last updated - 2014-02-24 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: CALLAWAY PLANT, UNIT 1, CALLAWAY COUNTY, MISSOURI (FIFTY-FIRST DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 16374285; 16037 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for Callaway Plant, Unit 1, located in Callaway County, Missouri, is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 51st supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all nuclear power reactor license renewals. The final EIS identified 92 issues and reached conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants. Neither the applicant, Ameren, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has identified new information for any of the 69 generic issues. Plant-specific review for the remaining 23 issues with regard to operations and refurbishment activities are addressed in this supplement. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would decide whether to continue plant operations based on factors such as the need for power. Without renewal, the license would expire on October 18, 2024. Callaway Plant, Unit 1 (Callaway) is located in Callaway County, Missouri, approximately 10 miles southeast of Fulton and 80 miles west of St. Louis. The state capital, Jefferson City, is approximately 25 miles southwest of the site, and the Missouri River flows five miles south of the site. Callaway is a single-unit nuclear power plant that began commercial operation on December 19, 1984. The Callaway site covers 7.354 acres. The property is composed of three main areas: (1) a 2,765 acres power plant site containing the major power generation facilities; (2) a 2,135-acre corridor area containing the intake and blowdown pipelines between the plant and the river intake structure; and (3) 2,454 acres not used for power generation. Callaways nuclear steam supply system is a four-loop Westinghouse pressurized-water reactor. The electrical capacity is 1,236 megawatts-electric. The reactor core heats water to approximately 590 degrees Fahrenheit. The heated water is pumped to four U-tube heat exchangers known as steam generators (SGs), where the heat boils the water on the shell side of the SG into steam. After the steam is dried in the SG, it is routed to the turbines. The dry steam turns the turbines, which are connected to the electrical generator where the electricity is produced. The reactor, SGs, and related systems are inside a containment structure that is designed to withstand the pressure and prevent radioactive leakage to the environment. The containment structure is a post-tensioned, pre-stressed reinforced concrete cylinder with a slab base and a hemispherical dome that gives the structure its pressure-resistance capability. A welded steel liner is attached to the inside face of the concrete shell to supply a higher degree of leak tightness. Also, the four-feet-thick concrete walls serve as a radiation shield for both normal and postulated accident conditions. The containment structure has a ventilation system, which is used to maintain pressure and temperatures within acceptable limits. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow Ameren to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. All other alternatives capable of meeting the needs currently served by Callaway Plant would entail potentially greater impacts than the proposed action of license renewal. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Minor unavoidable adverse impacts on air quality would occur due to emission and release of various chemical and radiological constituents from power plant operations. During nuclear power plant operations, workers and members of the public would face unavoidable exposure to radiation and hazardous and toxic chemicals.

Paragraph I.A.5 of Appendix K to 10 CFR Part 50 states that the rate of energy release, hydrogen generation, and cladding oxidation from the metal/water reaction shall be calculated using the Baker-Just equation. Since the Baker-Just equation presumes the use of zircaloy clad fuel, strict application of the rule would not permit use of the equation for the LTA cladding for determining acceptable fuel performance.\n Based upon the material properties provided in SNC's letter dated April 23, 2013, the NRC staff finds the use of current LOCA models and methods acceptable for the purpose of evaluating LTAs containing a limited number of GNF-Ziron fuel rods.

Under federal criminal law, an individual acts with "deliberate ignorance" when that individual attempts to avoid criminal prosecution and conviction by deliberately remaining ignorant of critical facts, which if clearly known by that individual, would provide a basis to criminally prosecute that individual or otherwise subject the individual to an agency civil penalty enforcement proceeding. /7/ FOOTNOTE 7 Global-Tech Appliances, Inc. v. SEB S.A., 131 S. Ct. 2060, 2068-69 (2011) (stating that defendants cannot avoid criminal liability by "deliberately shielding themselves from clear evidence of critical facts that are strongly suggested by the circumstances"); Id. at 2069 citing United States v. Jewell, 532 F.2d 697, 700 (9th Cir. 1976) (en banc) ("[i]t is also said that persons who know enough to blind themselves to direct proof of critical facts in effect have actual knowledge of those facts"); United States v. Gullet, 713 F.2d 1203, 1212 (6th Cir. 1983) (stating that deliberate ignorance applies when a criminal defendant "deliberately clos[es] his eyes to the obvious risk that he is engaging in unlawful conduct") (alteration added).

Forty-two samples including commercial extra virgin and virgin olive oils, and virgin olive oils from olive mills were analyzed. Only naphthalene (NAP) was detected in all olive oil samples under investigation. Among the studied 16 EPA PAHs, the highest maximum concentration was also observed for NAP (120 mu g kg super(-1)). Moreover, three samples exceeded the European Union (EU) maximum level of 2 mu g kg super(-1) for benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in oils and fats, and only one sample exceeded the EU maximum level of 10 mu g kg super(-1) for the sum of benz[a]anthracene, chrysene, BaP, and benzo[b]fluoranthene (PAH4). The likely daily intakes of the total sum of 16 EPA PAHs, the sum of eight genotoxic PAHs, the sum of PAH4, the BaP, and the BaP equivalent through consumption of Syrian olive oils were estimated.

AN - 1558059177; 16030 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a new source and byproduct material license for the construction, operation, aquifer restoration, and decommissioning of an in-situ leach uranium recovery (ISR) facility in Custer and Fall River Counties, South Dakota is proposed. Powertech (USA), Inc. submitted a license application in August 2009 for the Dewey-Burdock ISR Project, which would be located in the Nebraska-South Dakota-Wyoming Uranium Milling Region, one of four specified in the final generic EIS of June 2009 for In-Situ Leach Uranium Milling Facilities. The 10,580-acre project site is located 13 miles north-northwest of the city of Edgemont, 40 miles west of the city of Hot Springs, and 50 miles southwest of the city of Custer. Approximately 10,340 acres of land is privately owned, and the remaining 240 acres of surface rights are public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management. The subsurface mineral rights are owned by various private entities and federally reserved by the U.S. Government. The Dewey-Burdock ISR Project would consist of processing facilities and sequentially developed wellfields in two contiguous areas: the Burdock area and the Dewey area. Facilities would include: a central processing plant in the Burdock area and a satellite facility in the Dewey area; surface impoundments; wellfields and their associated infrastructure; Class V deep injection wells and/or land application areas for disposal of liquid gas wastes; and access roads. Extraction is proposed at 10 wellfields in the Burdock area and at four wellfields in the Dewey area. Injection wells would be used to introduce lixiviant into the uranium mineralization; production wells would be used to extract uranium-bearing solutions; and monitoring wells would be used to identify and assess impacts of ongoing operations and detect groundwater excursions. The Burdock central plant would fully process the uranium-bearing solution and uranium-loaded resin from the Dewey satellite facility. The recovered uranium would be processed, dried into yellowcake, packaged into 55-gallon steel drums, and trucked offsite to a licensed conversion facility. Powertech anticipates that production activities in the initial wellfields would commence two years after construction begins and wellfield operations would continue for eight years. Aquifer restoration would begin two years after production activities commence and would continue for nine years. After the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) determines the production area is restored, Powertech would implement a groundwater stability monitoring program for a minimum of 12 months. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS evaluates a No Action Alternative. The preliminary NRC staff recommendation is that a source and byproduct material license for the proposed action be issued as requested, unless safety issues mandate otherwise. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would authorize commercial-scale ISR uranium recovery on public lands with mitigation measures to ensure public safety and protection of environmental resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: All project phases would produce intermittent fugitive dust emissions. Construction would disturb 243 acres if deep well injection is used to dispose of treated wastewater, or 1,398 acres if land application or a combination of deep well injection and land application is used to dispose of treated wastewater. Habitat loss, displacement of wildlife, and mortality due to encounters with vehicles or heavy equipment would occur, though wildlife species would likely disperse from the area once construction commences. Archaeological and historic sites may be disturbed. Dewey Road would experience a sixteenfold increase in daily vehicle traffic during construction and a fivefold increase in daily vehicle traffic during operations. Local landfill capacity may be insufficient to accommodate all decommissioning nonhazardous solid waste. The project would contribute to visibility impacts at Wind Cave National Park, but the impact magnitude is expected to be minimal.

Determination of radioactive contamination depth plays a vital role in the assessment of contaminated sites, because it can be used to estimate the activity content. It is determined traditionally by measuring the activity distributions along the depth. This approach gives accurate results, but it is time consuming, lengthy and costly. The multiple photopeaks method was developed in this work for (super 226) Ra contamination depth determination in a NORM contaminated soil using in-situ gamma spectrometry. The developed method bases on linear correlation between the attenuation ratio of different gamma lines emitted by (super 214) Bi and the (super 226) Ra contamination depth. Although this method is approximate, but it is much simpler, faster and cheaper than the traditional one. This method can be applied for any case of multiple gamma emitter contaminant.

This article examines some of the real-life inputs into the decision, as well as the influences on the decision maker. For example, some academics suggest that decision makers are more influenced by the environmental impact assessment process itself than by the conclusions of the assessment. Three case studies are presented. I provide an overview of each project and the various influences on the respective decision maker. I demonstrate that decision makers tend to elevate social, cultural, and political concerns over the natural environment. I also demonstrate that each decision maker was influenced by a particular social, cultural, or political aspect unique to each situation. I recommend further research in the expanding use of analytical tools and models in environmental decision making. These tools may encourage the decision maker to give more consideration to the results of the environmental impact assessment versus other external influences.

As a result, productivity should undergo losses due to high temperatures, drought, floods, and soil degradation which threaten food security of Levantine countries. Since water is the critical factor in the region, even slight changes in air temperature and rainfall patterns will have considerable impact. It has been proven that potential climate change may disrupt, on one hand, most ecosystems through changes in their physicochemical conditions, and on the other hand the species which are living in these ecosystems. Then, the biodiversity can be found challenging. In this study, the effects of climate change on population and phytoplankton communities of Lake Karaoun were investigated since 1992. The climate regime shifts have been shown to alter the lake ecosystem. In the past, Lake Karaoun was characterized by a highly diversified microflora dominated by diatoms and green algae. Recent climatic fluctuations, with culmination in 2008-2011 and temperatures exceeding 40 degree C have upset this biodiversity. Blooms of cyanobacteria, specifically Microcystis aeruginosa and Aphanizomenon ovalisporum, have occurred and disturbed both the ecosystem and the functioning of the lake.

[...]the NRC staff concluded that during routine operations, there will be no significant increase of radiological effluents released into the environment as a result of the proposed exemption request. With regard to potential non-radiological impacts, the proposed action would not change the types or amounts of non-radiological plant effluents. [...]the proposed action would not result in any foreseeable impacts to land, air, or water resources, including impacts to biota because there would be no change in effluents or emissions into the environment.

The period of performance is developed based on the candidate site characteristics (waste package, waste form, disposal technology, cover technology, and geo-hydrology) and the peak dose to a designated receptor. * Adding flexibility for disposal facilities to establish site-specific waste acceptance criteria based on the results of the site's performance assessment and intruder assessment. * Establishing a compatibility category for the elements of the revised rule that establish the requirements for site-specific performance assessments and the development of the site-specific waste acceptance criteria that ensures alignment between the States and Federal Government on safety fundamentals, while providing the States with the flexibility to determine how to implement these safety requirements.

Several international collaborative programs for the purpose of geomonitoring were conducted in Antarctica during the International Polar Year (IPY) 2007-2008. The Antarctica's GAmburtsev Province (AGAP; IPY 7), the GAmburtsev Mountain SEISmic experiment (GAMSEIS), a part of AGAP, and the Polar Earth Observing Network (POLENET; IPY 5) were major contributions in establishing a geophysical network in Antarctica. The AGAP/GAMSEIS project was an internationally coordinated deployment of more than 30 broadband seismographs over the crest of the Gambursev Mountains (Dome-A), Dome-C and Dome-F area. The investigations provide detailed information on crustal thickness and mantle structure; provide key constraints on the origin of the Gamburtsev Mountains; and more broadly on the structure and evolution of the East Antarctic craton and subglacial environment. From GAMSEIS and POLENET data obtained, local and regional seismic signals associated with ice movements, oceanic loading, and local meteorological variations were recorded together with a significant number of teleseismic events. In this chapter, in addition to the Earth's interiors, we will demonstrate some of the remarkable seismic signals detected during IPY that illustrate the capabilities of broadband seismometers to study the sub-glacial environment, particularly at the margins of Antarctica. Additionally, the AGAP and POLENET stations have an important role in the Federation of Digital Seismographic Network (FDSN) in southern high latitude.

The building shielding factors are intended for use in emergency planning and level three probabilistic risk assessments for a variety of postulated radiological events in which a realistic assessment is necessary to better understand the potential risks for accident mitigation and emergency response planning. Factors are calculated from detailed computational housing-units models using the general-purpose Monte Carlo N-Particle computational code, MCNP5, and are benchmarked from a series of narrow- and broad-beam measurements analyzing the shielding effectiveness of ten common general-purpose construction materials and ten shielding models representing the primary weather barriers (walls and roofs) of likely US housing-stock. Each model was designed to scale based on common residential construction practices and include, to the extent practical, all structurally significant components important for shielding against ionizing radiation. Calculations were performed for floor-specific locations as well as for computing a weightedaverage representative building shielding factor for single- and multi-story detached homes, both with and without basement, as well for single-wide manufactured housing-units.

Partial melting induced by the Chicxulub event does not provide an energetically-plausible explanation for this coincidence, and both geochronologic and magnetic-polarity data show that Deccan volcanism was underway well before Chicxulub/K-Pg time. However, historical data document that eruptions from existing volcanic systems can be triggered by earthquakes. Seismic modeling of the ground motion due to the Chicxulub impact suggests that the impact could have generated seismic energy densities of order 0.1-1.0 J/m (super 3) throughout the upper approximately 200 km of the Earth's mantle, sufficient to trigger volcanic eruptions worldwide based upon comparison with historical examples. Triggering may have been caused by a transient increase in the effective permeability of the existing deep magmatic system beneath the Deccan province, or mantle plume "head." It is therefore reasonable to hypothesize that the Chicxulub impact might have triggered the enormous Poladpur, Ambenali, and Mahabaleshwar (Wai sub-group) lava flows that account for >70% of the Deccan Traps main-stage eruptions. This hypothesis is consistent with independent stratigraphic, geochronologic, geochemical, and tectonic constraints, which combine to indicate that at approximately Chicxulub/K-Pg time a huge pulse of mantle plume-derived magma passed through the crust with little interaction, and erupted to form the most extensive and voluminous lava flows known on Earth. High-precision radioisotopic dating of the main-phase Deccan flood basalt formations may be able either to confirm or reject this hypothesis, which in turn might help determine whether this singular outburst within the Deccan Traps (and possibly volcanic eruptions worldwide) contributed significantly to the K-Pg extinction.

In Boraflex, the boron-10 (B-10) isotope in the boron carbide (B sub(4)C) compound provides the neutron absorbing capability. Some installed neutron absorber panels utilizing Boraflex technology have lost a significant portion of their neutron absorbing capability due to panel degradation. Degradation has also been identified in neutron absorber panels made of Carborundum and Boral. Due to these degradation issues, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has determined that a quantitative study showing the effects of degradation (i.e., B-10 loss) on the k-eff of representative fuel storage configurations will inform NRC staff regulatory activities.

The survey was performed along two straight measuring profiles of 715 and 430 m length in up- and downstream sides of the dam's embankment. The analysis of the inverted ERT sections revealed the presence of fractured and karstified limestone rocks which constitute the shallow bedrock of the dam reservoir. Several subsurface structural anomalies were identified within the fractured bedrock, most of which are associated with probable karstic cavities, voids, and discontinuity features developed within the carbonates rocks. Moreover, results also showed the occurrence of a distinguished subsiding structure coinciding with main valley course. Accordingly, it is believed that the bedrock and the other detected features are the main potential causes of water leakage from the dam's reservoir.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Performance of the North Anna Nuclear Power Facility during the 2011 Mineral, Virginia, earthquake; a regulatory perspective AN - 1637536138; 2014-105040 AB - The North Anna Nuclear Power Station (NANPS) was the first ever commercial nuclear power facility in the United States to experience a safe shutdown as a result of earthquake-induced ground motion. This facility, located about 22 km northeast of the epicenter of the moderate (moment magnitude 5.8) 2011 Mineral earthquake, comprises two nuclear power reactors that began operation in 1978 and 1980. Although duration of the ground motion was relatively short (i.e., 2 to 4 seconds at different elevation levels in the facility), response spectra developed from recorded ground motions affecting the NANPS facility at the level of the reactor containment basemat showed a modest exceedance of the Safe Shutdown Earthquake in both the vertical and north-south horizontal directions. However, because there was no observed damage to safety-related structures, systems and components (SSCs), performance of the safety-related SSCs during the earthquake demonstrated that the original seismic design was sufficient for the NANPS to accommodate the ground motion without any damage resulting in undue risk to public health and safety or the environment. Three months of extensive inspections of the facility conducted by the utility and NRC after occurrence of the earthquake confirmed that safety-related SSCs at the plant experienced no detectable damage. Only minor damage of some ancillary structures that were not safety-related was observed (e.g., wall cracks and displacement of dry storage casks), and the NRC allowed the facility to restart operation. In addition, no field investigations performed by the utility and independent researchers or field observations made by NRC staff identified a causative surface fault related to the Mineral earthquake either at or immediately adjacent to the plant site. Therefore, the initial conclusion of the NANPS licensee that no capable tectonic structures occur at Units 1 and 2 remains valid. Assessing the existence of a capable tectonic structure at Units 1 and 2, using the term "capable fault" as historically defined in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 100, Appendix A, was an important part of the deterministic assessment of geologic and seismic criteria for nuclear power plants at the time site characterization was conducted for those two units by the NANPS licensee.

A multi-institution deployment of seismometers in the epicentral region of the Mineral earthquake yielded the best recorded aftershock sequence in the eastern U.S. and has offered a rare opportunity to study the decay of aftershocks in an intraplate setting. The Mineral earthquake was a reverse faulting event, and comparison with two reverse faulting earthquakes in California (the 1985 M (sub w) 6.1 Kettleman Hills and 1987 M (sub w) 5.9 Whittier Narrows earthquakes) has revealed variations in the rate and duration of aftershock sequences. The rate in the California aftershock sequences decreased to two or fewer events per day 20 days after the mainshock. Aftershocks of the Mineral earthquake decreased in a power law decay fashion for the first 10 days after the mainshock, but then increased to more than two events per day at about approximately 25 and 100 days after the mainshock. Each catalog was constrained using a M (sub c) = 2.2 and to events located <15 km from the mainshock. Modified Omori's law curves fit to each sequence yielded a low p-value of 0.76 for the Mineral earthquake compared to p-values of 1.13 and 1.25 for the Kettleman Hills and Whittier Narrows earthquakes (respectively), indicating a significantly slower decay of aftershocks from the Mineral earthquake. This slow decay rate can be attributed in part to the delayed occurrence of earthquakes along the aftershock-delineated Fredericks Hall ( approximately 25 days after the mainshock) and late northwest ( approximately 100 days after the mainshock) faults. Structural heterogeneities, stress, and temperature in the crust are all cited as factors responsible for causing variations in p-value. The crust in the eastern U.S. is older and colder than in many tectonically active regions. These characteristics could explain its prolonged aftershock decay rate. The slow decay of aftershocks from the Mineral earthquake may also support the hypothesis that aftershock duration is inversely proportional to fault stress rate, according to which aftershocks in active tectonic margins may last only a few years whereas aftershocks in intraplate regions may endure much longer.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of some plants native to Syria in the treatment of brucellosis. In vitro activities of some essential oils and plant extracts of some medicinal plants against 89 Brucella melitensis isolates was determined by disc diffusion method at a concentration of 5%. The microdilution assay in the fluid medium was used to determine the MICs of essential oils and plant extracts. Among the evaluated herbs, only Thymus syriacus and Cinnamomum zeylanicum essential oils and Laurus nobilis plant extract showed a high activity against B. melitensis strains. Thus, minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC sub(50)) values for T. syriacus, C. zeylanicum, and L. nobilis against B. melitensis were 6.25, 3.125 and 6.25 mu l/ml, respectively. Among studied essential oils and plant extracts, T. syriacus and C. zeylanicum essential oils, and L. nobilis plant extract were the most effective ones. Moreover, T. syriacus - C. zeylanicum combination was more effective than use of each of them alone. Then, T. syriacus and C. zeylanicum essential oils and L. nobilis plant extract could act as bactericidal agents against B. melitensis.Original Abstract: Rosliny lecznicze sa uwazane za nowe suro wee do produkcji zwiazkow, ktore moga byc uzywane jako alternatywa dla antybiotykow w leczeniu chorob wywolanych przez bakterie oporne na antybiotyki. Celem niniejszej pracy bylo okreslenie skutecznosci niektorych roslin rosnacych w Syrii w leczeniu brucelozy. Aktywnosc olejkow eteryeznyeh i wyciagow przeciw 89 szczepom Brucella melitensis badano metoda krazkow bibutowych, stosujac 5-cio% roztwory badanych substaneji roslinnych. Do okreslenia wartosci MIC olejkow i ekstraktow zastosowano metodc mikrorozeienezen w podlozu plynnym. Wsrod badanych roslin tylko olejki eteryczne z Thymus syriacus i Cinnamomum zeylanicum i wyciag z Laurus nobilis wykazaly wysoka aktywnosc przeciwko szczepom B. melitensis. MIC sub(50) dla T. syriacus, C. zeylanicum i L. nobilis wobec B. melitensis wynosily odpowiednio 6,25, 3,125 i 6,25 [mu]l/ml. Wsrod badanych olejkow eteryeznyeh i wyciagow roslinnych, olejki eteryczne z T. syriacus i C. zeylanicum oraz wyciag z L. nobilis byly najbardziej aktywne. Co wiecej, kombinacja T. syriacus - C. zeylanicum byla bardziej skuteczna niz uzycie kazdego z tych olejkow eteryeznyeh osobno. Zatem olejki eteryczne z T. syriacus i C. zeylanicum oraz wyciag z L. nobilis moga byc stosowane jako srodki przeciwbakteryjne przeciwko B. melitensis.

The hypothesis is based on a number of observations available from LOCA tests performed at Halden and Studsvik on high burnup boiling water reactor (BWR), pressurized water reactor (PWR) and VVER fuel rods, namely that: [bullet] Extensive fragmentation was not present before testing [bullet] The extent of relocation and fragmentation is correlated with local strain and proximity to rupture location [bullet] A significant change in fragmentation size is observed between high ([approx =]60 GWd/MTU) and very high ([approx =]70 GWd/MTU) burnup [bullet] Pressure transducers in the plenum measured a slow depressurization after rupture in select tests, indicating restricted gas flow between the plenum and rupture region in these tests. [bullet] For high burnup ([approx =]60 GWd/MTU) LOCA tests, most fine fragments appear to originate from the periphery of the pellet, but for very high burnup ([approx =]70 GWd/MTU) LOCA tests, fine fragments appear to originate from all radii [1,2].

AN - 1560095009; 25181051 AB - BACKGROUNDBisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most widespread chemicals in the world and is suspected of being responsible for male reproductive impairments. Nevertheless, its molecular mode of action on spermatogenesis is unclear. This work combines physiology and toxicogenomics to identify mechanisms by which BPA affects the timing of meiosis and induces germ-cell abnormalities.METHODSWe used a rat seminiferous tubule culture model mimicking the in vivo adult rat situation. BPA (1 nM and 10 nM) was added to the culture medium. Transcriptomic and meiotic studies were performed on the same cultures at the same exposure times (days 8, 14, and 21). Transcriptomics was performed using pangenomic rat microarrays. Immunocytochemistry was conducted with an anti-SCP3 antibody.RESULTSThe gene expression analysis showed that the total number of differentially expressed transcripts was time but not dose dependent. We focused on 120 genes directly involved in the first meiotic prophase, sustaining immunocytochemistry. Sixty-two genes were directly involved in pairing and recombination, some of them with high fold changes. Immunocytochemistry indicated alteration of meiotic progression in the presence of BPA, with increased leptotene and decreased diplotene spermatocyte percentages and partial meiotic arrest at the pachytene checkpoint. Morphological abnormalities were observed at all stages of the meiotic prophase. The prevalent abnormalities were total asynapsis and apoptosis. Transcriptomic analysis sustained immunocytological observations.CONCLUSIONWe showed that low doses of BPA alter numerous genes expression, especially those involved in the reproductive system, and severely impair crucial events of the meiotic prophase leading to partial arrest of meiosis in rat seminiferous tubule cultures.

The National Data Center in Ghana was established in February, 2010 at the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission. The Center is mandated to collate seismic, radionuclide, infrasound and hydroacoustic data for monitoring nuclear test explosions for global peace. The data are obtained from our neighboring country Cote d'Ivoire and the International Data Center in Austria. The objectives of the Data Center include the following: receive and use data from the International Monitoring System (IMS) stations and products derived from the IMS from the International Data Center for verification and compliance of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and for earthquake hazard studies. From 2010 to date local seismic events from the Center are catalogued for earthquake hazard studies in the country. The data are also made available to our stakeholders for earthquake disaster risk reduction. The benefits of the National Data Center to Ghana are numerous. Apart from the data for seismic hazard studies, it can also provide data for research in fisheries, for the study of the crustal structure among others.Original Abstract: Nacionaliniai duomenu centru, isteigtu visame pasaulyje ir remiamu Visuotinio branduoliniu bandymu draudimo sutarties organizacijos, tikslas - stebeti ir valdyti duomenis, kontroliuoti ir galiausiai pasalinti branduoliniu ginklu bandymu keliamus sprogimus. 2010 m. vasario men.

The analysis was carried out by using gamma spectromefry to quantify the radionuclides of interest, namely [sup 238]U, [sup 232]Th, [sup 137]Cs and [sup 40]K in soil, ore, waste rock and water samples. The total annual effective dose to the public was estimated to be 0.13 mSv, which is below the International Commission on Radiological Protection recommended level of 1 mSv for public exposure control. The study also assessed the elemental concentrations of U, Th and K in the soil/rock samples from the gold mine and surrounding communities. The results obtained in this study also show that radiation levels are within the natural background radiation levels found in the literature and compare well with those of similar studies for other countries including Ghana.

Sorghum bicolor L. was employed as a reference crop to evaluate N sub(2) fixation using the super(15)N-isotpic dilution technique. Results showed that addition of P fertilizer or sheep manure had positive effects on dry-matter production, N accumulation, and seed yield. Such effects were more pronounced when adding sheep manure and P together than adding separately. Solely P fertilizer had a small impact on N sub(2) fixation. A tangible increase in the amounts of N sub(2) fixed due to manure addition occurred. The efficient use of N fertilizer (%NUE) increased significantly as the result of adding a high level of P fertilizer. However, a drastic decrease in %NUE was observed when sheep manure was added solely or in combination with P fertilizer. From productivity and ecological standpoints, P2M1 and P2M2 surpassed the other treatments in showing greater grain yield and greater N sub(2) fixation. However, considering the high cost of sheep manure, P2M1 was the optimal treatment for improving growth and N sub(2) fixation in soybean plants with minimal manure consumption. In conclusion, the integrated use of manure and P fertilizer could be considered a useful agricultural practice for improving the performance of soybean plants grown in an Aridisol. Their beneficial effects were mainly attributed to the enhancement of N sub(2) fixation through root growth and soil property improvements besides being a source of P and other nutrients that are essential for N sub(2)-fixation process.

Since plant construction cannot proceed until the NRC review of the application is completed, a mandatory hearing is completed and a license is issued, the exemption does not increase the probability of postulated accidents. Additionally, based on the nature of the requested exemption as described above, no new accident precursors are created by the exemption; thus neither the probability, nor the consequences of postulated accidents are increased. [...]there is no undue risk to public health and safety.

Because such a request is seen as open-ended, the NRC included an imposed December 31, 2014, deadline as part of its review of the exemption request.\n The current requirement to submit a departures report semi-annually could not be changed, absent the exemption. 3.0 Discussion Pursuant to 10 CFR 52.7 and the requirements listed in 10 CFR 50.12, the Commission may, upon application by any interested person or upon its own initiative, grant exemptions from the requirements of 10 CFR Part 52, including 10 CFR Part 52, Appendix D, Paragraph X.B.2 and X.B.3.b when: (1) the exemption(s) are authorized by law, will not present an undue risk to public health or safety, and are consistent with the common defense and security; and (2) special circumstances are present. The rule targeted those applications that are being actively reviewed by the NRC. Because TVA requested the NRC suspend its review of the BLN 3&4 COL application, compelling TVA to submit the departures report on a semi-annual basis is not necessary as the information will not be changed or updated until the review is restarted.

N1 - Last updated - 2013-12-23 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 1, CITY OF PORT GIBSON, CLAIBORNE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI (FIFTIETH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 1547826717; 15979 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, Unit 1, located in the city of Port Gibson, Claiborne County, Mississippi, is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 50th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all nuclear power reactor license renewals. The final EIS identified 92 issues and reached conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants. Neither the applicant, Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy), nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has identified new information for any of the 69 generic issues. Plant-specific review for the remaining 23 issues with regard to operations and refurbishment activities are addressed in this supplement. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would decide whether to continue plant operations based on factors such as the need for power. Without renewal, the license would expire on November 1, 2024. Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS) is located in Claiborne County, Mississippi, on the east bank of the Mississippi River, approximately 25 miles (mi) (39 kilometers (km)) south-southwest of Vicksburg, Mississippi. GGNS is a single-unit nuclear power plant that began commercial operation in July 1985. The property boundary encloses approximately 2,100 acres (ac), or 850 hectares (ha). Currently, the property is approximately 2,015 ac (816 ha) because of the loss of approximately 85 ac (34 ha) from erosion by the Mississippi River (Entergy 2011a). The original application submitted in 1972 for GGNS was for a two-unit nuclear power facility. Construction on Unit 2 was halted before completion in 1979. The majority of the Unit 2 power block buildings were completed, along with the outer cylindrical concrete wall of the reactor containment building. The switchyard was designed and constructed for two units (NRC 2006a). The most conspicuous structures on the GGNS site include the natural draft cooling tower, the turbine building, the Unit 1 reactor containment building, the Unit 2 (cancelled) reactor containment outer cylindrical concrete wall, the auxiliary cooling tower, and various other buildings. The GGNS nuclear reactor system is a single-cycle, forced-circulation, General Electric Mark III boiling water reactor (BWR). The reactor core heats water to make steam that is dried by steam separators and dryers located in the upper portion of the reactor vessel. The steam is then directed to the main turbine through the main steam lines where it turns the turbine generator to produce electricity. The reactor and related systems are enclosed in containment and enclosure structures. The containment structure encloses the reactor coolant system, drywell, suppression pool, upper pool, and some of the engineered safety feature systems and supporting systems. The enclosure building and auxiliary building are combined to form a secondary containment which maintains a negative pressure in the volume between the containment 1 and enclosure/auxiliary building. These two containment systems and associated engineered safety features are designed and maintained to minimize the release of airborne radioactive materials under accident conditions. In addition to the proposed license renewal, alternative methods of power generation and a No Action Alternative are considered in this draft supplemental EIS. Replacement power options considered are new natural-gas-fired combined-cycle generation, new nuclear generation, and a combination alternative that includes some natural-gas-fired capacity and a wind-power component. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow Entergy to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. All other alternatives capable of meeting the needs currently served by Grand Gulf Nuclear Station would entail potentially greater impacts than the proposed action of license renewal. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Minimal impacts on aquatic resources are expected because the plant operator would likely implement BMPs to minimize erosion and sedimentation. Stormwater control measures, which would be required to comply with Mississippi NPDES permitting, would minimize the flow of disturbed soils into aquatic habitats.

The dissolved concentrations of major ions (Cl (super -) , SO (sub 4) (super 2-) , NO (sub 3) (super -) , HCO (sub 3) (super -) , Ca (super 2+) , Na (super +) , Mg (super 2+) , and K (super +) ), trace elements (barium (Ba) and strontium (Sr)) and stable isotopes (O and D) were determined on samples collected from the Ganges River and its riverbank shallow aquifers. In the present study, the shallow groundwater differs significantly from the Ganges River water; it shows distinct high concentrations of Ca (super 2+) , Mg (super 2+) , HCO (sub 3) (super -) , Ba, and Sr due to water-rock interaction and this in particular suggests that the Ganges River may not contribute significantly to the riverbank shallow aquifers during wet season. Besides, the sum of the total cationic charge (Sigma (super +) , in milliequivalents per liter) in the groundwater shows high values (2.48 to 13.91 meq/L, average 9.12 meq/L), which is much higher than the sum of the cations observed in the Ganges water (1.36 to 3.10 meq/L, average 1.94 meq/L). Finally, the more depleted stable isotopic (delta (super 18) O and delta (super 2) H) compositions of the Ganges River water are in contrast to those of the riverbank aquifer having enriched stable isotopic values during the wet season and the riverbank groundwater thus has a purely local origin from precipitation.

Cadmium is the most mobile element with an average partition coefficient (log K (sub d ) ) of 2.95 L/kg, while V is the least mobile element with a mean log K (sub d ) of 5.50 L/kg, and their order of increasing mobility is: V < As < Pb < Fe < Cr < Se < Mn < Ni < Zn < Cu < Ba < Sr < Cd. Contents of organic carbon in sediment samples shows strong positive correlations with most trace metals as revealed by the multivariate geostatistical analysis. The overall variation in concentration is mainly attributed to the discharge of effluents originating from the coal mining activities around the study area. Compared to their background, Ni and Cu are the most enriched while significant enrichment of As, Mn, Ba, Sr, Cr, and Pb is also observed in the sediments. Geoaccumulation indices (I (sub geo ) ) suggest sediments are moderately to heavily polluted with respect to Ni and Cu. The metal pollution index (MPI) varied from 91.91 to 212.01 and the highest value is found at site CM03 that is close to discharge point. The sediment quality guideline index (SQG-I (sub Intervention ) ) values (0.56-1.52) suggest that the sediments at the study area have moderate to high ecotoxicological risk.

This volume can be substantially larger than the support volume in laboratory of field measurements of those parameters. Parameter estimates obtained from measured values with pedotransfer functions are also defined at the measurement rather than simulation cell support scale. The scale dependence of flow and transport parameters essentially precludes the direct use of measured or pedotransfer estimated parameter values in numerical simulations. The hypothesis of this work was that a support volume-based scaling law could be introduced that could convert pedotransfer-estimated saturated hydraulic conductivity values into values to be used over grid cells for finite element-based simulations of water flow and tracer transport in variable saturated soils. A four month-long experiment was conducted at the USDA-ARS experimental site where tracer was applied with a pulse of irrigation water and its transport in groundwater and variably saturated shallow soils was monitored in three rows of wells on daily basis. The complementary weather data collection and runoff volume measurements were performed. The HYDRUS-3D software was used to set and calibrate the Richards model for flow simulations and the convective-dispersive equation for transport simulations. Saturated hydraulic conductivity values were estimated with class pedotransfer functions derived from the USDA database containing results of about 1000 measurements in soils of different textures and bulk density. A power law scaling law for the saturated hydraulic conductivity was derived from literature data and was applied at the OPE3 site. Using the scaled saturated hydraulic conductivity values resulted in the accuracy of simulations that was similar to the accuracy of the calibrated model results. Scaling of pedotransfer-estimated saturated hydraulic conductivities can provide reasonable estimates for the numerical flow and transport modeling in variably saturated soils.

However, substantial levels of dissolved U in groundwater, [U], can remain after ISR extraction and long-term restorative pumping. Remediation of U contamination using in situ biostimulated microbial reduction is being evaluated for use following ISR. A key requirement for biostimulation-based remediation is the long-term stability of the sequestered U following cessation of biostimulation and the return to ambient groundwater conditions. Laboratory column experiments with sediments from an aquifer previously mined by ISR showed that 20 mu M [U] influent was lowered to 95% of the sequestered U was U(IV). Following removal of electron donor and U(VI) from the influent, effluent [U] remained low (<0.1 mu M) for over 32 days (30 PV). Upon addition of suboxic levels of dissolved oxygen (6 mu M) to the influent, sequestered U was remobilized with effluent [U] increasing linearly to 0.6 mu M after 35 days (33 PV) of suboxic elution. Subsequently, the rate of U remobilization increased rapidly with [U] reaching 13 mu M after 87 days (82 PV), at which point about approximately 27% of the bioreduced U had been oxidized and remobilized. These results indicate that biostimulation is effective in lowering [U] following ISR but that maintaining reducing conditions is necessary to limit remobilization of sequestered U.

The main shaping force is the subduction of the Nazca Plate. The region is characterized in the West by the Principal Cordillera with silicic andesitic volcanoes, and in the East by a precordillera plateau with basaltic volcanos. One large concern for the local population is the Planchon Peteroa Volcano. Since the late 1990s, Peteroa has reactivated. Its latest activity was in 2010, when it released fumes. Therefore, a seismic array could play an important role in hazard assessment. Besides, having an intriguing subsurface with abundant seismicity, the Malargue region is well situated for studying seismic noise sources in the South Pacific. In the beginning of 2012, a large temporary seismic array was installed in the Malargue region. This PASSCAL (Program for Array Seismic Studies of the Continental Lithosphere) array was employed until the end of 2012 and consisted of 38 seismic stations. The stations are divided in two subarrays: a so-called P array located on the flanks of the Peteroa volcano, and a so-called T array spread out on a plateau just east of the town of Malargue. The array was installed with the purpose of imaging and monitoring the subsurface below the Malargue region. The imaging targets, like the Moho and the Nazca slab, are relatively deep. Yet, the array has dense station spacing, allowing exploration type processing. For high resolution imaging, also dense source spacing is required. Such sources will be facilitated, not by employing actual sources, but by creating virtual sources with seismic interferometry (SI). With this seismic technique, observations from distant sources can be remapped to responses from virtual sources at receiver locations. When SI is applied for a regularly spaced array of receivers, uncontrolled natural sources can be turned into a well organized succession of virtual sources. With a well sampled array of virtual sources and receivers available, a detailed reflectivity image of the Earth's crust (using body waves) and a detailed velocity model (using surface wave inversion) could be obtained. Focusing on the P array, the goal is to image the structure of part of the Peteroa volcano. This is done using SI, and applying this technique to ambient seismic noise. By means of crosscorrelation analysis between all the stations, it is possible to retrieve surface waves. Successively, surface-wave tomography will be applied, in order to obtain a velocity model suitable for the interpretation of the subsurface structures. Focusing on the T array, the characterization of the subsurface structures below the plateau, such as the Nazca slab subduction, as well as the Moho discontinuity, will be attempted using SI applied to teleseismic body-wave reverberations. In this presentation, preliminary results for both the surface-wave and body-wave SI will be shown.

The main features of these GMPEs (GK09) are: (1) only most essential measureable parameters [moment magnitude (M), closest distance to the fault rupture, style of faulting and average shear-wave velocity in the upper 30 meters of profile under the site (Vs30)] are used; (2) predictive model for SA is a continuous function of spectral period (T), which eliminates the standard matrix of estimator coefficients, and allows for calculation of SA at any period of interest within the model range of 0.01 to 10 sec; (3) mathematical form of GMPEs constitutes a series of filters--each filter represents a certain physical phenomenon affecting the radiation of seismic waves from the source. In contrast to the existing GMPEs, GK09 predictive model allows PGA to reach its maximum value at some distance from the fault effectively capturing the phenomenon observed in earthquakes with large number of near-source recordings such as the 1979 (M6.5) Imperial Valley and the 2004 (M6.0) Parkfield earthquakes. The GK09 GMPEs are shown to provide accuracy (expected median prediction without significant bias) and efficiency (relatively small standard error of predictions) as compared to recorded data at distances of up to 250 km during recent shallow-crustal earthquakes with 5.0< or =M< or =7.9 including the 2008 (M7.9) Wenchuan (China), 2010 (M7.2) El-Mayor Cucapah (Mexico), 2011 (M6.3) Christchurch (New Zealand) and other earthquakes. The GK09 GMPEs are updated here by adding an anelastic attenuation filter as a function of quality-factor (Q), and by improving the existing basin-effect filter, which is now a function of depth, distance and period. Basin parameter is defined as the depth to 1.5 km/s shear-wave velocity isosurface. Good agreement of the updated GMPEs (GK13) predictions with data from major California earthquakes is demonstrated. The standard errors of the updated GMPEs are on average 4% lower than those of our previous models. The updated GMPEs are applicable for earthquakes with 5.0< or =M< or =8.0, distances of up to 250 km, S-wave velocities of 250 12 EFPY and
