[Part 1 of 1] T2 - SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION UNITS 3 AND 4, APPLICATION FOR COMBINED LICENSES, MATAGORDA COUNTY, TEXAS. AN - 873128204; 14812-6_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of combined operating licenses for the construction and operation of two new nuclear power reactor units at the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (STP) site in Matagorda County, Texas is proposed. STP Nuclear Operating Company submitted an application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on September 20, 2007 for the proposed STP Units 3 and 4 which would be located 2,000 feet northwest of the existing STP Units 1 and 2. The 12,220-acre STP site is 10 miles north of Matagorda Bay, 70 miles south-southwest of Houston, and 12 miles south-southwest of Bay City along the west bank of the Colorado River. Most of the site is within the Texas coastal management zone. The existing main cooling reservoir (MCR) occupies 7,000 acres of the STP site and 1,750 acres are currently occupied by Units 1 and 2 and associated facilities. The remainder of the site is undeveloped land or is used for agriculture and cattle grazing. Four transmission service providers currently serve the site and the existing 345-kilovolt (kV) switchyard currently has nine 345-kV transmission lines that connect it to the utility grid. Under the applicant's proposal, two electricity generating systems would be built using the U.S. advanced boiling water reactor design. These systems are rated at 3,926 megawatts (MW) thermal, with a gross electrical output of 1,356 MW electrical and a net output of 1,300 MW electrical. Reject heat from the unit to the environment, principally the atmosphere, is 2,626 MW thermal. Heat created in the reactor core is transferred to high-pressure and low-pressure turbines, which turn a generator to create electricity. For the units under consideration, cooling water would be withdrawn from the north shore of the MCR through an intake structure, circulate through the main condensers for proposed Units 3 and 4, and then return to the MCR through a shared discharge structure. Water lost from the MCR through ground seepage, evaporation, and release to the Colorado River would be replaced with water withdrawn from the Colorado River at the reservoir makeup pumping facility (RMPF) located to the east of the proposed units. Water would be released from the MCR to the Colorado River through the discharge structure located on the west bank two miles downstream of the RMPF. All of these structures currently exist to support the operation of Units 1 and 2. The proposed new units would have a shared exclusion area boundary and a shared plant access road with the existing units. The vent stack for proposed Unit 3 would be the tallest new structure at 249 feet above grade, which is of similar elevation to the highest point of the existing units. Units 3 and 4 would rely on the MCR as the main condenser heat sink just as Units 1 and 2 do currently. In the event of an emergency, the proposed new units would not rely on the 46-acre essential cooling pond as an ultimate heat sink, but would rely on mechanical draft cooling towers. The two Unit 3 and 4 cooling towers would also be available as helper towers to provide for heat rejection to the atmosphere during normal operations. Blowdown from the cooling towers would be returned to the MCR. To support four-unit operation, the RMPF would be refurbished and modified within its existing footprint without any disturbances within the Colorado River. The RMPF would withdraw water through a 406-foot-long intake structure located parallel to the shoreline. The applicant has requested authorization to expand an existing barge slip on the Colorado River and to culvert and fill waters of the United States for the purpose of constructing a heavy haul road on the site. The power transmission system for the proposed Units 3 and 4 would not require new transmission lines or corridors, but a portion of the existing system would be upgraded. In addition to the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, this final EIS addresses energy source alternatives, alternative sites, system design alternatives, and onsite alternatives to reduce impacts to aquatic resources. The NRC staffs recommendation is that the combined operating licenses be issued as proposed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would provide additional baseload electrical generation capacity for use in the owner's current markets within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas region and/or for potential sale on the wholesale market. An additional 2,400 jobs would be created. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would create stormwater runoff, displace wildlife habitat, and have noticeable impacts to traffic. Operational impacts would include increased risks of bird and bat collisions, wildlife avoidance due to noise; increased surface water use from the Colorado River; increased sediment load in stormwater; and increased frequency of discharge of MCR waters to the Colorado River. MCR discharge could cause physical scouring with adverse effects to aquatic species and habitat and the thermal plume could encourage growth of etiological agents. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

N1 - Last updated - 2011-03-02 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Geochemical and isotopic studies of groundwater conditions in the Densu River basin of Ghana AN - 959089775; 2012-033365 AB - The Densu River basin (DRB) is an important agricultural area in Ghana and has a high population density. Water shortages have occurred in the basin due to drying out of surface water, heavy pollution and low yield in most of the production wells, which are crucial factors restricting sustainable socioeconomic development. This study was carried out to investigate the geochemical characteristics and evolution, as well as recharge processes in the DRB system with regard to the tectonics, geomorphology, lithology and flow system. It mainly used hydrochemistry, environmental isotopes and a series of comprehensive data interpretation, e.g., statistics, ionic ratios and Piper diagram to obtain a better understanding of the functioning of the system. The following hydrochemical processes were identified as the main factors controlling the water quality of the groundwater system: weathering of silicate minerals, dissolution, ion exchange and, to a lesser extent, evaporation, which seems to be more pronounced downgradient of the flow system. As groundwater flows from the recharge to discharge areas, chemical patterns evolve in the order of Ca (super 2+) -HCO (sub 3) (super -) , Ca (super 2+) /Mg (super 2+) -HCO (sub 3) (super -) to Ca (super 2+) /Na (super +) -Cl (super -) , Ca (super 2+) -Na (super +) -HCO (sub 3) (super -) and Na (super +) -Cl (super -) according to lithology. The environmental isotope (delta (super 18) O, delta (super 2) H, (super 3) H) measurements further revealed that groundwater in the DRB was a relatively well-mixed system as evidenced by the encoded narrow range of values. However, deviation from the rainwater signature indicates combined local processes such as direct percolation through preferential channels, evaporation, and probable surface water and anthropogenic contribution to the system.

Study results show that pH within the range (3. < or = pH < or = 6.5) constitutes 74% of the boreholes analyzed, and 51% have hardness values ranging from 7.89 to 73.24 mg/l as CaCO (sub 3) and are described as soft. Total dissolved solids are less than 1,000 mg/l and generally characterized by low conductivity values, of which 95% are within the range (55 < or = EC < or = 1,500 mu S/cm). The mean values of the major cations (Ca (super 2+) , Mg (super 2+) , Na (super +) , K (super +) ) and anions (SO (sub 4) (super 2-) , Cl (super -) , HCO (super -) (sub 3) ) are all within the World Health Organisation (WHO) standards. Five (5) of the boreholes sampled have nitrate (NO (sub 3) (super -) ) contamination. Even though NO (sub 3) (super -) contamination and acidic waters exist in some of the boreholes, the majority of the boreholes are excellent for drinking and domestic purposes. Assessment of the groundwaters for agricultural irrigation revealed three main categories. These are low salinity-low sodicity (C1-S1), medium salinity-low sodicity (C2-S1) and high salinity-low sodicity (C3-S1), using the US Salinity Laboratory (USSL) classification scheme. As much as 95% of the samples plotted in the "excellent to good" and "good to permissible" categories on the Wilcox diagram. The groundwater in the study area may therefore be regarded as good for irrigation activities. The major identifiable geochemical processes responsible for the evolution of the various ions are mineral weathering and chemical reactions.

It is required for nuclear regulatory, calculation validation and safeguards purposes. So, it plays a vital role in the safety and security of the nuclear plants. The possibility of MNSR operation monitoring by measuring the subcritical state photoneutron flux were investigated in this work. The photoneutron flux is induced by the fuels hard gamma radiation in the beryllium reflector. Theoretical formulation and experimental tests were performed. The results show that within a specified cooling time range, the photoneutron flux is induced by a single dominant hard gamma emitter such as super(117)Cd (activation product) and super(140)Ba ( super(140)La fission product). This phenomenon was utilized to monitor the cooling time and the operation neutron flux during the last campaign. Thus a passive nondestructive assay method is proposed with regard to the reactor operation's monitoring.

Case study from Southern Syria AN - 856779575; 14260822 AB - Nuclear well logging, including natural gamma ray, density, and neutron-porosity techniques are used with electrical well logging of long and short normal techniques to characterize the basaltic areas largely extended in Southern Syria. Statistical analysis approach with the threshold concept has been adapted for such characterization, where four kinds of basalt have been identified: very hard basalt, hard basalt, fractured basalt, and basalt alteration products. The spectrometric gamma technique has also been applied on the retrieved rock samples in order to determine the radioactive content (eU, eTh, and K%) of the basaltic section in the study area. No radioactive anomalies have been detected, the radioactive values are normal and in the expected range. JF - Applied Radiation and Isotopes AU - Asfahani, Jamal AD - Atomic Energy Commission, P.O.

The MCNP5 code was used for this purpose to simulate the radial and axial distribution of the neutron fluxes within all the 10 irradiation channels. After the MCNP simulation, it was observed that axially, the fluxes rise to a peak before falling and then finally leveling out. It was also observed that the fluxes were higher in the center of the irradiation channels; the fluxes got higher as it moved toward the center of the core. The multiplication factor (k sub(eff)) was observed as 1.000397 +/- 0.0007. Radially, the thermal, epithermal and fast neutron flux in the inner irradiation channel range from 1.15 x 10 super(12) n/cm super(2).s +/- 0.1018 x 10 super(11) - 1.19 x 10 super(12) n/cm super(2).s +/- 0.1172 x 10 super(11), 1.21 x 10 super(12) n/cm super(2).s +/- 0.1014 x 10 super(11) - 1.36 x 10 super(12) n/cm super(2).s +/- 0.1038 x 10 super(11) and 2.47 x 10 super(11) n/cm super(2).s +/- 0.1120 x 10 super(10) - 2.97 x 10 super(11) n/cm super(2).s +/- 0.1255 x 10 super(10) respectively. For the outer channel, the flux range from 7.14 x 10 super(11) n/cm super(2).s +/- 0.1381 x 10 super(10) - 7.38 x 10 super(11) n/cm super(2).s +/- 0.208 x 10 super(10) for thermal, 1.94 x 10 super(11) n/cm super(2).s +/- 0.1014 x 10 super(10) - 2.51 x 10 super(11) n/cm super(2).s +/- 0.1281 x 10 super(10) for epithermal and 3.69 x 10 super(10) n/cm super(2).s +/- 0.8912 x 10 super(8) - 5.14 x 10 super(10) n/cm super(2).s +/- 0.1009 x 10 super(9) for fast. The results have shown that there are flux variations within the irradiation channels both axially and radially.

The results show that boric acid (H sub(3)BO sub(3)) and its frit have deleterious effect on the setting of ordinary cement in ratios 0.5-1% of the total weight of the concrete. Adding Borax (Na sub(2)B sub(4)O sub(7)) has no significant effect on strength of concrete in the range up to 1% by wt, but it has significant effects on shielding efficiency in thick concrete shields (100 cm) as it reduces the capture gamma rays up to 80% better than unborated concretes.

AN - 873133574; 14801-5_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a license to construct, operate, and decommission a uranium enrichment facility in Bonneville County, Idaho is proposed. The Eagle Rock Enrichment Facility (EREF) would be located on a 460-acre section of a 4,200-acre parcel of land that AREVA Enrichment Services, LLC (AES) intends to purchase from a single private landowner. The license would authorize AES to possess and use byproduct material, source material, and special nuclear material at the proposed EREF site near Idaho Falls for a period of 30 years. AES would employ a gas centrifuge process to produce uranium enriched up to five percent by weight in the isotope uranium-235, with a planned maximum target production of 6.6 million separative work units (SWUs) per year. The enriched uranium would be used to manufacture nuclear fuel for commercial nuclear power reactors. Production at the facility would be equivalent to about 40 percent of the current and projected demand (15 to 16 million SWUs) for enrichment services within the United States. Uranium would arrive at the proposed EREF as natural uranium hexafluoride (UF6) in solid form. Major facilities within the proposed EREF would include: cylinder storage pads, a centrifuge assembly building, four separations building modules (SBMs), a cylinder receipt and shipping building, and various support and administrative buildings. If the license is approved, facility construction would begin in 2011 with heavy construction of all major buildings and structures continuing for seven years into 2018. The proposed EREF would begin initial production in 2014 and reach peak production in 2022. Operations would continue at peak production until approximately nine years before the license expires. Decommissioning activities would then begin and be completed by 2041 unless AES applies for license renewal. Decommissioning would involve the sequential shutdown of the four SBMs resulting in a gradual decrease in production. Each SBM would take approximately 4.5 years to decommission. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, alternative sites for the facility, alternative sources of low-enriched uranium, and alternative technologies for uranium enrichment. Radiological measurement and monitoring would include monitoring of air emissions, ambient air quality, wastewater discharge, stormwater and basin sediment, groundwater, and soil and vegetation, along with direct gamma radiation monitoring. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has concluded that impacts would be generally small, and application of the environmental monitoring program and the proposed AES mitigation measures would eliminate or substantially lessen any potential adverse environmental impacts. Unless safety issues mandate otherwise, it is recommended that the proposed license be issued to AES. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The EREF would provide an additional economical domestic source of uranium enrichment services, and increased regional employment, income, and tax revenue. Construction would create 1,687 jobs in the peak year, while operations would produce 3,289 jobs and $92.4 million in income in the first year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in some soil erosion, soil compaction, changes in drainage patterns, and disruption to wildlife. The John Leopard Homestead, which has been recommended as eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, would be destroyed. Traffic volume on US 20 would increase. During operations, there would be a potential for small gaseous releases that could contain uranium isotopes, hydrogen fluoride, and uranyl fluoride. A critical accident could result in fatality for workers in close proximity. Six potential accident scenarios predict consequences to the collective offsite public of less than one lifetime cancer fatality. Operation would generate 11,136 pounds of hazardous wastes and 1,222 cylinders of depleted uranium annually. The EREF would be located 1.5 miles from US 20 and the Hell's Half Acre Wilderness Study Area and would create a significant contrast with the surrounding visual environment.

The proposed EREF would begin initial production in 2014 and reach peak production in 2022. Operations would continue at peak production until approximately nine years before the license expires. Decommissioning activities would then begin and be completed by 2041 unless AES applies for license renewal. Decommissioning would involve the sequential shutdown of the four SBMs resulting in a gradual decrease in production. Each SBM would take approximately 4.5 years to decommission. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, alternative sites for the facility, alternative sources of low-enriched uranium, and alternative technologies for uranium enrichment. Radiological measurement and monitoring would include monitoring of air emissions, ambient air quality, wastewater discharge, stormwater and basin sediment, groundwater, and soil and vegetation, along with direct gamma radiation monitoring. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has concluded that impacts would be generally small, and application of the environmental monitoring program and the proposed AES mitigation measures would eliminate or substantially lessen any potential adverse environmental impacts. Unless safety issues mandate otherwise, it is recommended that the proposed license be issued to AES. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The EREF would provide an additional economical domestic source of uranium enrichment services, and increased regional employment, income, and tax revenue. Construction would create 1,687 jobs in the peak year, while operations would produce 3,289 jobs and $92.4 million in income in the first year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in some soil erosion, soil compaction, changes in drainage patterns, and disruption to wildlife. The John Leopard Homestead, which has been recommended as eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, would be destroyed. Traffic volume on US 20 would increase. During operations, there would be a potential for small gaseous releases that could contain uranium isotopes, hydrogen fluoride, and uranyl fluoride. A critical accident could result in fatality for workers in close proximity. Six potential accident scenarios predict consequences to the collective offsite public of less than one lifetime cancer fatality. Operation would generate 11,136 pounds of hazardous wastes and 1,222 cylinders of depleted uranium annually. The EREF would be located 1.5 miles from US 20 and the Hell's Half Acre Wilderness Study Area and would create a significant contrast with the surrounding visual environment. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.) and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

N1 - Last updated - 2011-02-03 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - A conceptual framework of groundwater flow in some crystalline aquifers in southeastern Ghana AN - 959101642; 2012-034559 AB - A conceptual groundwater flow model was developed for the crystalline aquifers in southeastern part of the Eastern region, Ghana. The objective was to determine approximate levels of groundwater recharge, estimate aquifer hydraulic parameters, and then test various scenarios of groundwater extraction under the current conditions of recharge. A steady state groundwater flow model has been calibrated against measured water levels of 19 wells in the area. The resulting recharge is estimated to range from 8.97X10 (super -5) m/d to 7.14X10 (super -4) m/d resulting in a basin wide average recharge of about 9.6% of total annual precipitation, which results in a basin wide quantitative recharge of about 2.4 million m (super 3) /d in the area. This compares to recharge estimated from the chloride mass balance of 7.6% of precipitation determined in this study. The general groundwater flow in the area has also been determined to conform to the general northeast-southwest structural grain of the country. The implication is that the general hydrogeology is controlled by post genetic structural entities imposed on the rocks to create ingresses for sufficient groundwater storage and transport. Calibrated aquifer hydraulic conductivities range between 0.99 m/d and over 19.4 m/d. There is a significant contribution of groundwater discharge to stream flow in the study area. Increasing groundwater extraction will have an effect on stream flow. This study finds that the current groundwater extraction levels represent only 0.17% of the annual recharge from precipitation, and that groundwater can sustain future increased groundwater demands from population growth and industrialization.

The conversion of polymerization was followed up with respect to the irradiation dose using thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). A total polymerization conversion was achieved by exposure of the samples to a dose of 10 kGy. A thermomechanical analyzer (TMA) was used to locate the region of the glass transition temperatures (T sub(g)) using the mode with alternative variable force; the mode with constant force was used to determine the T sub(g) of the pure polymer and the composite prepared at the same irradiation dose. The T sub(g) of the pure poly(butyl acrylate) is -51.41 degree C, and the T sub(g) of poly(butyl acrylate)/phosphate/composites is -46.54 degree C. The distribution of super(137)Cs, super(152)Eu, and super(85)Sr in a solid-aqueous system, a composite of phosphate-polybutyl acrylate in contact with groundwater, was investigated using gamma -spectrometry. The effect of contact time, pH, and the concentration of concurrent elements (Na, Ca, and La) were studied. The results were compared with earlier results with phosphate alone in the solid phase. The ability of the produced composites to keep the studied radioisotopes in the solid phase is much higher than mineral phosphate. This improvement is more remarkable by strontium and cesium than europium, due to its high element ratio in the solid phase in phosphate experiments.

Methods: Testing for IDDs was carried out in 6083 schoolchildren 6 to 12 years of age from the capital cities of nine states in different areas of the country using the three indicators recommended by the World Health Organization: the prevalence of goitre, laboratory measurements of urinary iodine concentration in casual urine samples and serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels. Serum levels of thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), as well as urinary secretion of thiocyanate, which can affect the transport of iodine into thyrocytes, were also measured. Findings: The prevalence of goitre in the different samples ranged from 12.2% to 77.7% and was 38.8% overall. The overall median urinary iodine concentration was 6.55 [micro]g/dl, with the lowest median value having been found in Kosti city (2.7 [micro]g/dl), situated in the centre of the country, and the highest (46.4 [micro]g/dl) in Port Sudan, on the Red Sea coast. The highest mean serum Tg level (66.98 [micro]g/ml) was found in Kosti city, which also had the highest prevalence of goitre. Conclusion: IDDs still constitute a public health problem throughout urban areas in the Sudan and iodine deficiency appears to be the main etiological factor involved.

The barium and manganese targets were irradiated within and without a cadmium capsule. The result of the thermal neutron capture cross section for the 138Ba(n, I[sup3)139Ba reaction is 0.53A plus or minus 0.01barns. The result was obtained relative to the reference value 13.2 barns of the 55Mn(n, I[sup3)56Mn reaction. The resonance integral cross section for the 138Ba(n, I[sup3)139Ba reaction was also measured relative to the reference value of 13.9 barns for the 55Mn(n, I[sup3)56Mn reaction. The present resonance integral cross section for the 138Ba(n, I[sup3)139Ba reaction is 0.380A plus or minus 0.005 barns. The previous measurements of the Iefo and Io of the reaction 138Ba(n, I[sup3)139Ba were reviewed and the difference between the present values and the previous results were discussed. The present work was undertaken with the aim to contribute to the experimental basis of Iefo and Io evaluations.

The results show that the neutron flux peaks at different points, at an average thermal neutron flux of (1.1406A plus or minus 0.0046)A-1011, (1.1849A plus or minus 0.0047)A-1011 and (1.0580A plus or minus 0.0044)A-1011 ncma degree 2 sa degree 1 around the reactor vessel. The first two peaks happened to coincide with pneumatic transfer pipes in the pool, but the third peak happened to be in line with the slant tube position. It was observed that as the diameter of the tube varies from 3.90cm to 23.40cm, the average thermal neutron flux decreased exponentially from (1.1849A plus or minus 0.0047)1011 ncma degree 2 sa degree 1 to (3.3241A plus or minus 0.0100)A-1010 ncma degree 2 sa degree 1. The average thermal neutron flux decreases exponentially along the diameter of the designed slant tube from (1.0366A plus or minus 0.0042)A-1011 ncma degree 2 sa degree 1 to (9.7396A plus or minus 0.0136)A-109 ncma degree 2 sa degree 1. From the results, it is evident that a slant tube of diameter 15.00cm can be installed at the original slant tube position for large sample irradiation.

[Part 8 of 8] T2 - NICHOLS RANCH IN-SITU URANIUM RECOVERY (ISR) PROJECT, CAMPBELL AND JOHNSON COUNTIES, WYOMING (SECOND FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 2009). AN - 873129708; 14779-3_0008 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a new source material license for the construction, operation, aquifer restoration, and decommissioning of an in-situ leach uranium recovery facility, also known as an in-situ recovery (ISR) facility, in the Pumpkin Buttes Uranium Mining District of the Powder River Basin in Campbell and Johnson counties, Wyoming is proposed. Uranerz Energy Corporation submitted an application for the Nichols Ranch Project in November 2007. The facility would be located in the Wyoming East Uranium Milling Region, one of four geographic regions of the western United States for which the potential environmental impacts from the construction and operation of ISR facilities were assessed in a final generic EIS of June 2009. The total land area of the proposed Nichols Ranch ISR Project is 3,371 acres and the project would be divided into two noncontiguous units, the Nichols Ranch Unit and the Hank Unit. Facilities would include a central processing plant at the Nichols Ranch Unit and a satellite facility, well fields, and deep disposal wells at the Hank Unit. The total land surface area for the license in question consists of 3,091 acres of private ownership and 280 acres of federal land. During the ISR process, an oxidant-charged solution, called a lixiviant, is injected into the production zone aquifer (uranium ore body) through injection wells using native ground water from the production zone aquifer, carbon dioxide, and sodium carbonate/bicarbonate, with an oxygen or hydrogen peroxide oxidant. The lixiviant oxidizes and dissolves the mineralized uranium, which is present in a reduced chemical state and the resulting uranium-rich solution is drawn to recovery wells by pumping, and then transferred to a processing facility via a network of pipes. At the processing facility, the uranium is leached from the solution and the resulting barren solution is then recharged with the oxidant and re-injected to recover more uranium from the well field. Uranium recovery solution continually moves through the aquifer from outlying injection wells to internal recovery wells. Monitoring wells in the production zone aquifer and the overlying and underlying aquifers would detect lixiviant in case of migration out of the production zone. The uranium that is recovered from the solution would be processed, dried into yellowcake and packaged into approved 55-gallon steel drums, and trucked offsite to a licensed conversion facility. This final EIS evaluates the proposed action, a No Action Alternative, and a modified action alternative whereby Uranerz would construct and operate facilities at only the proposed Nichols Ranch Unit. The staff recommendation is that the source material license be issued unless safety issues mandate otherwise. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would authorize commercial-scale ISR of uranium on private lands with adequate mitigation measures to ensure public safety and protection of environmental resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation would disturb 300 acres of land resulting in displacement of soils, vegetation, and the associated wildlife habitat. Operations could impact shallow aquifers, the aquifer containing the ore body and surrounding aquifers, overlying and underlying aquifers to the ore zone, and deep aquifers below the ore production zone used for disposal of liquid effluent. Groundwater contamination would be minimized due to the hydraulic isolation of the production zone aquifers. Visual impacts would affect five traditional cultural properties. Facility workers would be exposed to radiation, but only at levels comparable to background level.

During the ISR process, an oxidant-charged solution, called a lixiviant, is injected into the production zone aquifer (uranium ore body) through injection wells using native ground water from the production zone aquifer, carbon dioxide, and sodium carbonate/bicarbonate, with an oxygen or hydrogen peroxide oxidant. The lixiviant oxidizes and dissolves the mineralized uranium, which is present in a reduced chemical state and the resulting uranium-rich solution is drawn to recovery wells by pumping, and then transferred to a processing facility via a network of pipes. At the processing facility, the uranium is leached from the solution and the resulting barren solution is then recharged with the oxidant and re-injected to recover more uranium from the well field. Uranium recovery solution continually moves through the aquifer from outlying injection wells to internal recovery wells. Monitoring wells in the production zone aquifer and the overlying and underlying aquifers would detect lixiviant in case of migration out of the production zone. The uranium that is recovered from the solution would be processed, dried into yellowcake and packaged into approved 55-gallon steel drums, and trucked offsite to a licensed conversion facility. This final EIS evaluates the proposed action, a No Action Alternative, and a modified action alternative whereby Uranerz would construct and operate facilities at only the proposed Nichols Ranch Unit. The staff recommendation is that the source material license be issued unless safety issues mandate otherwise. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would authorize commercial-scale ISR of uranium on private lands with adequate mitigation measures to ensure public safety and protection of environmental resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation would disturb 300 acres of land resulting in displacement of soils, vegetation, and the associated wildlife habitat. Operations could impact shallow aquifers, the aquifer containing the ore body and surrounding aquifers, overlying and underlying aquifers to the ore zone, and deep aquifers below the ore production zone used for disposal of liquid effluent. Groundwater contamination would be minimized due to the hydraulic isolation of the production zone aquifers. Visual impacts would affect five traditional cultural properties. Facility workers would be exposed to radiation, but only at levels comparable to background level.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-01-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: PALO VERDE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA. (FORTY-THIRD FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 854551167; 14768 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of operating licenses for the three-unit Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS) located in Maricopa County, Arizona is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 43rd supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 issues and reached conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants. Neither the applicant, Arizona Public Service Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 generic issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the three units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating licenses are not renewed, the facilities would be shut down on or before expiration of the current licenses, June 1, 2025 for Unit 1, April 24, 2026 for Unit 2, and November 25, 2027 for Unit 3. PVNGS is located within a 4,280-acre site 45 miles west of central Phoenix. The site buildings and adjacent, developed areas comprise 720 acres and there are 605 surface acres of water on site in various large ponds. Each Combustion Engineering System 80 pressurized water nuclear reactor uses low-enriched uranium dioxide fuel to produce a core power of 3,990 megawatts (MW) thermal and a nominal net electrical capacity of 1,346 MW electric. Each containment building is a pre-stressed, reinforced concrete cylinder with a slab base and a hemispherical dome. A welded steel liner is attached to the inside face of the concrete shell to insure a high degree of leak tightness. In addition, the four-foot thick concrete walls serve as a radiation shield. PVNGS does not use public water supplies for plant operations, but instead relies on wastewater effluents from several area municipalities and groundwater from three onsite production wells. Cooling water effluents are discharged to man-made lined evaporation ponds with no outlet and no hydraulic connection to any natural surface water body. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Seven 525-kilovolt transmission lines connect PVNGS to the regional power grid. In addition to the proposed license renewal, this final supplemental EIS considers alternative methods of power generation and a No Action Alternative. Replacement power options considered are supercritical coal-fired generation, natural gas combined-cycle generation, new nuclear generation, and a combination alternative that includes a portion of the combined-cycle gas-fired capacity, a conservation component, and a solar power component. Renewal of the licenses is recommended as a reasonable option. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow Arizona Public Service Company to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers without the need to construct new facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operational use of groundwater would continue, but is considered inconsequential. On-site sources would continue to emit criteria air pollutants and hazardous air pollutants, but impacts are not expected to destabilize air quality. Continued operations would contribute to cumulative small radiological impacts; continued compliance with regulatory requirements is expected. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

Since the licensee has conducted 20 training drills exercising the principle functional areas of emergency response since the last evaluated biennial EP exercise, has activated all onsite emergency response facilities during those drills, and has supported the FEMA evaluation of the State and local authorities, the NRC staff considers that these measures are adequate to maintain an acceptable level of emergency preparedness during this period, satisfying the underlying purpose of the rule.

In this study, predatory mites Neoseiulus pseudolongispinosus Euseius castaneae Euseius utilis and Euseius finlandicus (Oudemans) (Phytosiidae) were investigated for their potential as biological control agents in treated along with untreated check. The current findings to judge the biocontrol potential of predators showed that laboratory bred adults and nymph instars of all predators efficiently preyed upon sucking arthropods and pests populations were drastically reduced in treated plants than in untreated control where their intensities were numerous. Among all predators, N. pseudolongispinosus was the most proficient and steadfast predator in controlling thrips and whitefly populations, contrary to E. finlandicus that proved better in reducing spider mite density in treated crop. The current findings indicated the potential of Phytoseiid predators for their augmentative releases to give best control of sucking pests in protected cucumber plants.

METHODS: The study covered a sample of 25 procedures and monitored occupational dose for all laboratory personnel. Each individual wore eight thermoluminescent dosemeters next to the eyes, wrists, fingers and legs during each procedure. Radiation protection shields used in each procedure were recorded. RESULTS: The highest doses per procedure were recorded for interventionists at the left wrist (average 485 mu Sv, maximum 5239 mu Sv) and left finger (average 324 mu Sv, maximum 2877 mu Sv), whereas lower doses were recorded for the legs (average 124 mu Sv, maximum 1959 mu Sv) and the eyes (average 64 mu Sv, maximum 1129 mu Sv). Doses to the assisting nurses during the intervention were considerably lower; the highest doses were recorded at the wrists (average 26 mu Sv, maximum 41 mu Sv) and legs (average 18 mu Sv, maximum 22 mu Sv), whereas doses to the eyes were minimal (average 4 mu Sv, maximum 16 mu Sv). Occupational doses normalised to kerma area product (KAP) ranged from 11.9 to 117.3 mu Sv/1000 cGy cm2 and KAP was poorly correlated to the interventionists' extremity doses. CONCLUSION: Calculation of the dose burden for interventionists considering the actual number of procedures performed annually revealed that dose limits for the extremities and the lenses of the eyes were not exceeded. However, there are cases in which high doses have been recorded and this can lead to exceeding the dose limits when bad practices are followed and the radiation protection tools are not properly used.

Mean annual effective dose and collective effective dose were estimated from dosimetry records from the Radiation Protection Institute of those occupationally exposed from 2002 to 2007. The mean annual effective dose estimated for about 650 OEWs per year ranged from 0.42 to 0.68 mSv compared with a global value of 0.5 mSv estimated by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR 2008 Report). This implies that efforts should still be made to institute as low as reasonably achievable culture in most practices in Ghana even though trend of doses incurred was low. The collective effective dose for this same period estimated ranged from 0.26 to 0.47 man Sv. A reference monetary value of the man sievert was estimated using the human capital approach for each year from 2002 to 2009; it ranged from 172 to 22 US $ per man Sv, which provided a basis for estimating the cost of averting a unit collective effective dose of 1 man Sv. This value could not be used for quantitative optimization since the range of mean annual effective dose estimated was below 1 mSv.

The administered activities (AAs) (MBq) were collected from 120 NM departments (88 % of total), during on-site inspections for licensing purposes. Factors influencing the image quality were also investigated. The established national DRLs represent the AA value corresponding to the 75th percentile of the AA frequency distributions. In their majority, national DRLs and average AAs are comparable with the ones published in the international literature. In the light of new technologies, there might be potential for reducing the higher values of AAs, in co-operation with the nuclear medicine experts.

An image quality survey was performed in 44 CT scanners countrywide. The imaging performance of the systems was evaluated by measurements of certain parameters, such as image noise, spatial uniformity, high- and low-contrast resolution and slice thickness accuracy. Moreover, preliminary results of patient dose survey are presented. Concerning image quality, 80 % of the scanners were found to be in compliance with the national legislation and relative international guidelines for all the examined parameters. Weighted CT dose index and dose-length product values for chest and abdomen routine examinations were generally below the dose reference levels (DRLs) suggested by the European Commission. However, some scanners were found to deliver significantly higher doses than the suggested DRL for head routine examinations. Finally, differences in the performance among scanners of the same type and similar age were observed, pointing out the importance of frequent calibration, routine quality control and proper maintenance.

Entrance surface air kerma (ESAK) was measured and average glandular dose (AGD) was calculated according to the European protocol on dosimetry in mammography. The exposures were performed using the clinical protocol of each laboratory. The image quality was assessed by the total score of resolved phantom structures incorporated in an American College of Radiology accreditation phantom. The mean ESAK values for FFD and CR systems were 4.59 plus or minus 1.93 and 5.0 plus or minus 1.78 mGy, respectively, whereas the AGD yielded a mean value of 1.06 plus or minus 0.36 mGy for the FFD and 1.04 plus or minus 0.35 mGy for the CR systems. Considering image quality, FFD systems indicated a mean total score of 13.04 plus or minus 0.89, whereas CR systems a mean total score of 11.54 plus or minus 1.06.

The structure and the objectives of E&T programmes addressed to the staff of dosimetry services, in order to allow the recognition and ensure the continuity of expertise are discussed. The necessity for the establishment of a national strategy for building competence in IM through information, education, training and retraining programmes, addressed to the individually monitored personnel is underlined. The train the trainers' concept is recognised as being an important tool for optimising resources and transferring the skills necessary for building competence.

In the present study, the fading characteristics (for a period of 150 d) of various commercial LiF materials with different dopants have been evaluated. The materials used in the study are those used in routine procedures by the Personal Dosimetry Department of Greek Atomic Energy Commission and in particular, LiF:Mg,Ti (MTS-N, TL Poland), LiF:Mg,Cu,P (MCP-N, TL Poland), LiF:Mg,Cu,P (MCP-Ns, thin active layer detector, TL Poland) and LiF:Mg,Cu,P (TLD100H, Harshaw). The study showed that there is a sensitivity loss in signal of up to 20 % for the MTS-N material for a 150-d period in the pre-irradiation fading phase. The MCP-N has a stable behaviour in the pre-irradiation fading phase, but this also depends on the readout system. As far as the post-irradiation fading effect is concerned, a decrease of up to 20 % for the MTS-N material is observed for the same time period. On the other hand, the LiF:Mg,Cu,P material presents a stable behaviour within plus or minus 5 %. These results show that the fading effect is different for each material and should be taken into account when estimating doses from dosemeters that are in use for >2 months.

A comparison in terms of dose, energy and angle dependence, among different types of APD and a routinely used whole-body thermoluminescence dosemeter (TLD) has been performed. Significant differences were found between the TLD readings and mainly some not commonly used APDs. The importance of choosing the best adapted APD according to the radiation field characteristics is pointed out.

Apart from the use of the official whole body dosemeters (thermoluminescence dosemeter type), measurements were performed to the extremities and the eyes using thermoluminescent loose pellets. The mean doses per kerma area product were calculated for the monitored anatomic regions and for the most frequent types of procedures. Higher dose values were measured during therapeutic procedures, especially embolisations. The maximum recorded doses during a single procedure were 1.8 mSv to the finger (nephrostomy), 2.1 mSv to the wrist (liver chemoembolisation), 0.6 mSv to the leg (brain embolisation) and 2.4 mSv to the eye (brain embolisation). The annual doses estimated for the operator with the highest workload according to the measurements and the system's log book were 90.4 mSv to the finger, 107.9 mSv to the wrist, 21.6 mSv to the leg and 49.3 mSv to the eye. Finally, the effect of the beam angulation (i.e. projection) and shielding equipment on the personnel doses was evaluated. The measurements were performed within the framework of the ORAMED (Optimization of RAdiation Protection for MEDical staff) project.

Numerical simulations can play an important role in evaluating extremity and eye lens doses in correlation with many different parameters. In the present study, the first results of the ORAMED (Optimisation of Radiation protection of MEDical staff) simulation campaign are presented. The parameters investigated for their influence on eye lens, hand, wrist and leg doses are: tube voltage, filtration, beam projection, field size and irradiated part of the patient's body. The tube voltage ranged from 60 to 110 kVp, filtration from 3 to 6 mm Al and from 0 to 0.9 mm Cu. For all projections, the results showed that doses received by the operator decreased with increasing tube voltage and filtration. The magnitude of the influence of the tube voltage and the filtration on the doses depends on the beam projection and the irradiated part of the patient's body. Finally, the influence of the field size is significant in decreasing the doses.

The raw material used is the phosphate rock imported from the foreign countries. During industrial processes, naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) deposits exist in many facilities in the industry, causing increased levels of radiation exposure. Additionally, increased levels of NORM concentrations are also detected in the waste material of the production process, the phosphogypsum. According to the Greek Regulations for Radiation Protection (no. 216B, 5/3/2001), which is in accordance with the 96/29/EURATOM 31/5/1996, the action levels concerning the effective dose to workers at workplaces due to natural radiation sources are 1 mSv y-1. Work activities where the corresponding doses exceed 6 mSv y-1 are under the control of the Greek Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC). The mean yearly radon concentration action level at workplaces is 400 Bq m-3, while the corresponding concentration limit is 3000 Bq m-3, respectively. GAEC, according to its constitutional law, is the responsible organisation to enforce and to implement the law by means of in situ surveys and laboratory measurements. The first inspection of the area was performed in 2002 and the first measures were proposed. Periodic inspections were performed every 2 y in order to extend the operation licensing of the industry. In this work a dose assessment of the workers based on in situ and laboratory measurements is presented. In order to assess the doses to the workers the external and the internal doses are estimated.

Hair analysis, performed by a toxicological laboratory abroad, indicated, among other, the presence of uranium. The uranium concentrations determined in a laboratory of "Elemental Hair Analysis' indicated a uranium level that was about five times the maximum value of the reference range, which has been adopted by the measuring laboratory. After these diagnostic findings, on request of 10 monks, uranium determination in hair and urine samples was performed by means of alpha spectrometry in GAEC's laboratory. The measured uranium concentrations in hair varied from 0.15 to 2.10 mBq g-1, which correspond to 12.1 and 170 ng g-1, respectively. The uranium concentrations in urine were between 41 and 174 ng d-1. For comparison purposes, urine and non-dyed hair samples from the staff of the laboratory were analysed. Because one of the major sources of uranium intake is through drinking water, water samples were also analysed. The mean value of the uranium concentration in the two drinking water samples collected from the residence area was found to be 2.35 mu g l-1.

It has provided electricity for several countries and shall continue to serve as a viable base load source of electric power. The need for skilled human resources for nuclear practice cannot be overlooked in the quest of any nation to adopt the technology. The Ghana Atomic Energy Commission and the University of Ghana in collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency have thus started a Graduate School of Nuclear and Allied Sciences to provide the human resources needed for nuclear power generation in Ghana. The School currently offers second degree courses as well as doctor of philosophy courses. Financial, land and water resource needs for nuclear power generation have been discussed. Availability of the national grid due to the deregulation of the electric power sector has also been discussed. Nuclear Fuel availability has been discussed along with the steps Ghana has to go through to obtain the technology to her development. The legal and legislative framework for nuclear power generation has also been presented. The programs currently available from the IAEA to assist Ghana to develop nuclear power have also been discussed. Conclusions have been drawn based on the discussions made.Original Abstract: Per pastaruosius desimtmecius atomine energija teike reiksminga nauda zmonijai.

The urine was collected after 2-day abstinence from sea foods by the workers and from those with no dental amalgam fillings. Total arsenic and total mercury were simultaneously determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). After 1-hour irradiation of the urine in Ghana's miniature neutron source reactor (GHARR-1) to induce super(76)As and super(197)Hg radionuclides through nuclear reactions super(75)As(n, gamma ) super(76)As, and super(196)Hg(n, gamma ) super(197)Hg, the gamma -radiation intensity of the induced super(76)As and super(197)Hg radionuclides were measured by gamma -spectrometry. The validity of the INAA technique for As and Hg determination was checked by analyses of NIST SRM 3103a (As standard solution) and NIST SRM 3133 (Hg standard solution), respectively. The mean mass fractions of arsenic in the urine are 6.76 mu g/L plus or minus 1.43, 7.78 mu g/L plus or minus 1.33, 8.03 mu g/L plus or minus 1.75, 10.44 mu g/L plus or minus 1.88, and 14.75 mu g/L plus or minus 1.62 for workers in offices 10 km from the mine, 2 km from the mine, 0.5 km from the mine, casual mine workers, and gold ore processing workers, respectively. The levels of arsenic in the urine are all within the 5 to 40 mu g As L super(-1) day super(-1) normal range for excretion of arsenic. The observed mass fraction of As was higher in high exposure workers. The mean mass fraction of Hg in the urine are 0.36 mu g/L plus or minus 0.11, 0.47 mu g/L plus or minus 0.12, 0.51 mu g/L plus or minus 0.16, 0.57 mu g/L plus or minus 0.14, and 0.56 mu g/L plus or minus 0.21 for workers in offices 10 km from the mine, 2 km from the mine, 0.5 km from the mine, casual mine workers, and gold ore processing workers, respectively. The high Hg exposed workers engage in small scale gold mining using mercury. The exposure of the different categories of workers to both total arsenic and total mercury are safe.Original Abstract: Straipsnyje siekiama ivertinti, ar arseno ir gyvsidabrio kiekis slapime priklauso nuo aukso kasyklose isskiriamo arseno ir gyvsidabrio koncentraciju.

Safety was taken into consideration even before the first fission chain reaction was initiated. These safety precautions coupled with half a century of experience in nuclear power generation have made nuclear power the best choice for base load electricity generation in several countries across the globe. The storage of nuclear waste has been extensively studied over the years and several opportunities of fuel disposal and treatment have engineered the industrial growth of several countries. Nuclear power production has reduced the carbon emissions of several countries. The history of nuclear reactor safety and the management of nuclear waste are discussed along with the comparison with other sources of electricity to give a clear reason for the promotion of nuclear power programme in Ghana. The experiences of safety practices currently observed at Ghana Research Reactor-1 Centre are also discussed. The effects of nuclear waste as well as their treatment are discussed to indicate the preparedness of nuclear scientists to adequately protect the public from any exposure to radiation from the waste. The international and local regulations that are available for ensuring safe nuclear practice are also discussed.Original Abstract: Straipsnyje pateikiama apzvalga apie atomines energetikos gamybos ir su sia veikla susijusiu atlieku saugos ir aplinkosaugos aspektus viso pasaulio mastu.

A detailed finite element (FE) model of spacer grid cell with fuel rod-to-support has been developed to determine the contact pressure between the supports of the grid and fuel rod cladding. The FE model of a fuel rod-to-support system is produced with shell and contact elements. The spring hold-down force is calculated using the contact pressure obtained from the FE model. Experiment has also been conducted in the same environment for the measurement of this force. The spring hold-down force values obtained from both studies are compared, which show good agreement, and in turn confirm the validation of this analysis. The Stress obtained through this analysis is less than the yield strength of spacer grid material (Inconel-718), thus fulfils the structural integrity criteria of grid.

Extensive investigations were made before arriving at the final design of only one boron carbide covered outer irradiation channel; as all the other designs that were considered did not give desirable results of neutronic performance. The concept of redesigning a new MCNP model, which has a boron carbide-shielded channel is to equip the Ghana Research Reactor-1 with the means of performing efficient epithermal neutron activation analysis. After the simulation, a comparison of the results from the original MCNP model for the Ghana Research Reactor-1 and the new redesigned model of the boron carbide shielded channel was made. The final effective criticality of the original MCNP model for the GHARR-1 was recorded as 1.00402 while that of the new boron carbide designed model was recorded as 1.00282. Also, a final prompt neutron lifetime of 1.5245x10 super(-4) s was recorded for the new boron carbide designed model while a value of 1.5571x10 super(-7) s was recorded for the original MCNP design of the GHARR-1.

AN - 812130920; 21047666 AB - Although polychlorinated biphenyls have never been manufactured in Ghana, it has been used extensively as dielectric fluid in electric transformers and capacitors. However, very little is known of its health and environmental impacts by both managers of these transformers and capacitors and also the general public. This work therefore seeks to explore INAA as a possible alternative to screening transformer oils for PCBs by determining the total chlorine content. The total chlorine content of transformer oil samples from Ghana that tested positive and some randomly selected samples that tested negative from screening using CLOR-N-OIL test kits, have had their total chlorine estimated. INAA using the Research Reactor located at the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission was used to estimate the total chlorine content of the oil samples. Neutron Activation and gamma ray spectroscopy using HPGe detector coupled to MAESTRO 32 software was used to determine the total chlorine content by integrating the peak area of the spectrum into a simplified program that was developed from the activation equation. Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis was able to validate the result obtained from the test kits screening with accuracy 7.5%. The minimum total chlorine content of the positive samples determined by NAA was 71.34 μg g⁻¹.

The usability of this fuel has been demonstrated in some research reactors in the world (SLOWPOKE-2). The fuel proved to be usable in the miniature neutron source low-power research reactors when about 50 fuel rods were substituted by as many dummy rods, while in SLOWPOKE reactors the number of fuel pins reduced by 98. About 3.8531 mk reactivity was rendered available at reactor start-up in MNSRs. The power of MNSRs needed to be increased by about 19%. Shut-down margin, effective shut-down margin, and control rod worth all decreased.

Its use is optimized and shielding factors are calculated. Graphite seems to be compatible with liquid water. As a reflector, graphite proves to be usable as well, but it decreases the fuel cycle lifetime by about 7%. To optimize its use the average worth reactivity of the unit volume was assessed for the different modes of filling the shim tray of the reactor with graphite which were: RIOS, RIOC, ROIS, and ROIC modes for the radial direction, and ASM, and ACM modes for the axial one. This quantity was found to be maximum for the ROIC mode reaching more than 0.01mk/cm3. The shielding factors for the radial and axial filling modes were found to be 0.7101 and 0.6266, respectively.

This extraordinary event, detected by 17 infrasonic stations of the global International Monitoring Network, generated stratospherically ducted infrasound returns at distances up to 17 500 km, the greatest range at which infrasound from a fireball has been detected since the 1908 Tunguska explosion. From these infrasonic records, we find the total source energy for this bolide as 8-67 kilotons of TNT equivalent explosive yield, with the favored best estimate near approximately 50 kt. Global impact events of such energy are expected only once per decade and study of their impact effects can provide insight into the impactor threshold levels for ground damage and climate perturbations.

It is believed to cure cholera, stomachache, diarrhea, bronchitis, pneumonia, leprosy, hypertension, and pain in the bones. The trace element contents of the fermented dawadawa pods were determined by neutron activation analysis to better appreciate their medicinal and nutritional applications. Results obtained showed the presence of Na, Mn, Al, Cl, Ca, K, Cu and Mg with maximum concentration of Na found to be 37.9 +/- 0.6 mg-kg in dp3, Mn; 19.5 +/- 2.9 mg-kg in dp2, Al; 493 +/- 3.9 mg-kg in ds1, Cl; 1074 +/- 36.3 mg-kg in ds2, Cu; 6.2 +/- 0.5 mg-kg in dp4, Ca; 0.90 +/- 0.04 wt.% in dp2, K; 2 +/- 0.02 wt.% in ds2, Mg; 0.44 +/- 0.03 wt. % in ds1.

The Commission conducted a review of its findings in 1989-1990, which resulted in the revision of Findings 2 and 4 to reflect revised expectations for the date of availability of the first repository, and to clarify that the expiration of a reactor's operating license referred to the full 40-year initial license for operation, as well as any additional term of a revised or renewed license: (2) The Commission finds reasonable assurance that at least one mined geologic repository will be available within the first quarter of the twenty-first century, and sufficient repository capacity will be available within 30 years beyond the licensed life for operation (which may include the term of a revised or renewed license) of any reactor to dispose of the commercial HLW and SNF originating in such reactor and generated up to that time; (4) The Commission finds reasonable assurance that, if necessary, spent fuel generated in any reactor can be stored safely and without significant environmental impacts for at least 30 years beyond the licensed life for operation (which may include the term of a revised or renewed license) of that reactor at its spent fuel storage basin, or at either onsite or offsite ISFSIs.

N1 - Last updated - 2010-12-10 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNITS NOS. 2 AND 3, UPPER WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NEW YORK (THIRTY-EIGHTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 3 of 3] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNITS NOS. 2 AND 3, UPPER WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NEW YORK (THIRTY-EIGHTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 873127435; 14735-5_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3, located in the village of Buchanan in upper Westchester County, New York is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 38th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 issues and reached generic conclusions relating to impacts for 69 of them that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. This final supplement to the final EIS contains plant-specific review for 17 remaining issues relevant to the Indian Point units. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would decide whether the plant should continue to operate based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration dates for the current licenses, which are September 28, 2013, and December 12, 2015, for Units 2 and 3, respectively. The power station is located within a 239-acre site on the east bank of the Hudson River at river mile 43 about 24 miles north of New York City. Both units employ pressurized water reactors and four-loop nuclear steam supply systems. Each loop contains a reactor coolant pump and a steam generator. The reactor coolant system transfers the heat generated in the reactor core to the steam generators, which produce steam to drive turbine generators. Unit 2 is currently licensed to operate at a core power of 3,216 megawatts (MW) thermal which results in a turbine generator output of 1,078 MW electric. Unit 3 is currently licensed to operate at 3,216 MW thermal which results in a turbine generator output of 1,080 MW electric. Primary and secondary cooling is provided by a once-through cooling water intake system that withdraws water from the Hudson River via two shoreline intake structures. After moving through the condensers, cooling water is discharged to the river through a canal via six 96-inch-diameter pipes. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Two 345-kV transmission lines, extending a total of 4,000 feet, connect the units to the regional power grid. Planned refurbishment at Indian Point includes replacement of reactor vessel heads and control rod drive mechanisms. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staffs recommendation is that the Commission determine that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewals for Indian Point Units 2 and 3 are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning decision makers would be unreasonable. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types. Decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Hudson River and deliver makeup water back to the river with adverse effect on aquatic ecosystems. Available evidence suggests that the operation of the cooling systems directly affects representative important species (RIS) by impingement and entrainment, and indirectly affects these resources through the impingement and entrainment of their prey. Thermal discharges may also be influencing RIS, but the extent of this influence cannot be determined without further studies. Three federally listed terrestrial species (bog turtle, New England cottontail, and Indiana bat) and one aquatic species (shortnose sturgeon) could be affected. Issues of consistency with New York State water quality standards and coastal zone management plans remain unresolved. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

[Part 2 of 3] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNITS NOS. 2 AND 3, UPPER WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NEW YORK (THIRTY-EIGHTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 873127094; 14735-5_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3, located in the village of Buchanan in upper Westchester County, New York is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 38th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 issues and reached generic conclusions relating to impacts for 69 of them that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. This final supplement to the final EIS contains plant-specific review for 17 remaining issues relevant to the Indian Point units. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would decide whether the plant should continue to operate based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration dates for the current licenses, which are September 28, 2013, and December 12, 2015, for Units 2 and 3, respectively. The power station is located within a 239-acre site on the east bank of the Hudson River at river mile 43 about 24 miles north of New York City. Both units employ pressurized water reactors and four-loop nuclear steam supply systems. Each loop contains a reactor coolant pump and a steam generator. The reactor coolant system transfers the heat generated in the reactor core to the steam generators, which produce steam to drive turbine generators. Unit 2 is currently licensed to operate at a core power of 3,216 megawatts (MW) thermal which results in a turbine generator output of 1,078 MW electric. Unit 3 is currently licensed to operate at 3,216 MW thermal which results in a turbine generator output of 1,080 MW electric. Primary and secondary cooling is provided by a once-through cooling water intake system that withdraws water from the Hudson River via two shoreline intake structures. After moving through the condensers, cooling water is discharged to the river through a canal via six 96-inch-diameter pipes. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Two 345-kV transmission lines, extending a total of 4,000 feet, connect the units to the regional power grid. Planned refurbishment at Indian Point includes replacement of reactor vessel heads and control rod drive mechanisms. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staffs recommendation is that the Commission determine that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewals for Indian Point Units 2 and 3 are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning decision makers would be unreasonable. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types. Decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Hudson River and deliver makeup water back to the river with adverse effect on aquatic ecosystems. Available evidence suggests that the operation of the cooling systems directly affects representative important species (RIS) by impingement and entrainment, and indirectly affects these resources through the impingement and entrainment of their prey. Thermal discharges may also be influencing RIS, but the extent of this influence cannot be determined without further studies. Three federally listed terrestrial species (bog turtle, New England cottontail, and Indiana bat) and one aquatic species (shortnose sturgeon) could be affected. Issues of consistency with New York State water quality standards and coastal zone management plans remain unresolved. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

Multivariate statistical analyses such as cluster analysis (CA) and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to identify heavy metal pollution in the wetland area. Results from CA and PCA suggest positive relationships between the two analyses. Linear correlation analysis done also suggests similar relationships. Heavy metals were identified as originating from a common source in all the analyses. The hydrochemistry of the area appears to have been influenced, to a large extent, by dissolution/precipitation as well as numerous but subsistence small-scale agricultural activities that take place in the wetland environment.

Artificial polonium isotope ( super(208)Po) was used as a tracer to determine transfer factor of Po from soil to plant in pot experiments. Two plant growing systems were used for this study namely, an outdoor system and a sheltered system by a polyethylene tent. super(208)Po and super(210)Po were determined in soil and different parts of the studied plants (stem and leaf), using alpha spectroscopy. The results have shown that there was a clear uptake of super(208)Po by roots to leaves and stems of both plants. Higher values of transfer factors using the super(210)Po activity concentrations than the super(208)Po activity concentration were observed. Transfer factors of super(210)Po from soil to parsley varied between 20 x 10 super(-2) and 50 x 10 super(-2) and 22 x 10 super(-3) and 67 x 10 super(-3) in mint, while super(208)Po transfer factors varied between 4 x 10 super(-2) and 12 x 10 super(-2) for parsley and 10 x 10 super(-2) and 22 x 10 super(-2) in mint. Transfer factors of Po were higher in those plants grown in the sheltered system than in the open system; about 75% of Po was transferred from atmosphere to parsley parts using the two systems. Ratios of transferred Po from soil to mint stem and leaf in the sheltered system were higher by 2 times from those in the open system.

The fitting analysis is conducted using a modified two-diode equivalent circuit accounting for an additional ohmic series resistance in the vicinity of grain boundaries and allowing for variable diode ideality factors. Apart from the shunt resistance - a key factor at very low illumination levels - the model indicates two other current transport mechanisms at low illumination levels, both related to recombination, but each of them can be allocated to a different region in the cell: (1) recombination in the crystalline region and (2) recombination at grain boundaries. The role played by each mechanism is studied depending on illumination level. JF - Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells AU - Kassis, A AU - Saad, M AD - Atomic Energy Commission of Syria, P.O.

The extent of the contamination was determined and the affected areas were characterized as controlled areas. After the quantitative and qualitative determination of the contaminated materials, the decontamination was planned and performed step by step: the contaminated materials were categorized according to their physical characteristics (scrap metals, plastic pipes, scales and residues, building materials, etc) and according to their level of radioactivity. Depending on the material type, different decontamination and disposal options were proposed; the most appropriate technique was chosen taking into account apart from technical issues, the legal framework, radiation protection issues, the opinion of the local authorities involved as well as the owner's wish. After taking away the biggest amount of the contaminated materials, an iterative process consisting of surveys and decontamination actions was performed in order to remove the residual traces of contamination from the area. During the final survey, no residual surface contamination was detected; some sparsely distributed low level contaminated materials deeply immersed into the soil were found and removed.

Data were expressed in terms of distribution coefficients. An attempt to increase the selectivity of bentonite for radium was made by preparing M-derivatives. Loss of mineral crystallinity in acidic media and the formation of a new phase, such as BaCO3, in Ba-derivative were evidenced by XRD characterizations. Of the cationic forms, Na-bentonite showed the highest affinity. Mechanisms of radium uptake were studied using M-derivatives and simulated radium solutions. The obtained results indicated that surface sorption/surface ion exchange were the predominant processes. The distinct sorption behaviour observed with the Ba-form was, possibly, a reflection of radium coprecipitation with barium carbonate. The competing order of macro components, likely present in waste streams, was investigated by studying different concentrations of the corresponding salt media. Sodium was found to be the weakest inhibitor. The performance of natural bentonite and the most selective forms, i.e. Ba- and Na-derivatives, to sorb radium from actual oil co-produced waters, collected form Der Ezzor Petroleum Company (DEZPC), was studied. This showed the influential effect of pH compared with other parameters.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requirements in Part 52 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 52) specify the process for obtaining an Early Site Permit (ESP) or a Combined License (COL) to build and operate a proposed nuclear power plant at a site. 10 CFR Part 100.23 further defines specific geologic and seismic siting criteria that must be met for the design of safety-related facilities at a proposed site. An applicant presents technical information on geologic, seismic, and geotechnical engineering characteristics for a proposed site in a Safety Analysis Report (SAR), submitted as part of the required application materials. This information results from a review of pertinent literature as well as investigations performed by the applicant in progressively greater detail closer to the proposed site. NRC geologists follow official guidance established by the NRC to enable a rigorous assessment of geologic data presented in the SAR. NRC geologists focus their review of the SAR on five primary topics related to regional and site-specific geology, which are (1) tectonic information; (2) seismic source characterization; (3) the potential for surface faulting; (4) non-tectonic deformation; and (5) conditions caused by human activities. Emphasis is placed on Quaternary geologic features and processes. NRC geologists determine if the interpretations and conclusions presented by the applicant accurately capture the geologic field evidence and the current understanding of the informed scientific community as reflected in the literature. NRC geologists work as a team with other geoscientists, and geotechnical engineers, to determine that an applicant investigated site characteristics in enough detail to allow an adequate evaluation of the site; provided information to adequately support the analysis of vibratory ground motion at the site; and provided adequate engineering solutions for actual or potential geologic and seismic hazards to ensure the protection of public health and safety and the environment.

The design of the neutron collimator was performed using MCNP4C and the ENDF/B-V cross-section library. Thermal, epithermal and fast neutron energy ranges were selected as 10keV, respectively. To produce a good neutron beam quality, bismuth was used as photon filter. In this design, the L/D ratio of this facility had the value of 125. The thermal neutron flux at the beam exit was about 2.548A-105 n/cm2 s. If such neutron beam were built into the Syrian MNSR many scientific applications would be available using the neutron radiography.

N1 - Last updated - 2010-11-01 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - The properties and formation of erosional pipe-shaped structures in ignimbrites around Valles Caldera AN - 1416687322; 2013-058219 AB - In three separate ignimbrite deposits of the Bandelier Tuff Formation around Valles Caldera (La Cueva, Otowi, and Tshirege Members, preferential weathering has exposed columnar or pipe-shaped structures. The features result from the compositional alteration of the ignimbrite creating a hardened resistance to erosion in elongated volumes of the non-welded deposits. These features are manifested with different widths and lengths, however, it is thought that their origins can be attributed to the similar alteration processes and conditions. This alteration was previously assumed to be vapor-phase alteration (Cas and Wright, 1988), but further analysis has shown the presence of zeolites suggesting the alteration was the result of saturation of the ignimbrite by meteoric water. The structures exist as groups (1 to 30 features) and here is a strong positive correlation between the diameter and spacing of pipes that could be representative of the capture area for water draining into the deposit. If the pipes started to form immediately after deposition of the ignimbrite, in a similar way to fumarolic pipes, they would likely be a more widespread phenomenon in the deposit. Rapidly occurring welding and vapor-phase alteration of the top of the ignimbrite may have stopped water reaching the interior of the deposit, except where valleys were rapidly incised. Each area where pipes occur must therefore experience localized conditions, which control formation at the time the valley is being formed. The suggestion is that landslides on oversteepened, friable valley walls exposed fresh, still hot, unaltered ignimbrite in which pipe structures could form if the material had cooled from its depositional temperature to within a suitable, specific range. An abundant supply of water from high rainfall and/or stream activity is also implied. The presence of the pipes gives an insight into the erosional evolution of ignimbrite-filled valleys over a period of almost 2 million years. One conclusion is that the valley systems in the Bandelier ignimbrites developed quickly, within the time scale of cooling of the ignimbrite sheets, and the walls have remained little modified in places since that time.

Previous work showed the eruption withdrew magma from a high-silica-rhyolite chamber possessing strong zonation in trace elements. Recent work reveals new insights on the products and eruption sequence: 1) The first phase produced Guaje fall deposit unit A, after which column collapse produced coeval pyroclastic flows and fall deposits (units B-F) in a complex depositional pattern. In places the ignimbrite is intra-Plinian and in others fall units could accumulate while pyroclastic flows bypassed the area. Combined physical and pumice compositional data from deposits suggests that Plinian (vent-derived) fall deposition persisted late into the eruption. 2) The previous idea of switching from an initial central vent to vents on caldera ring-fractures at the time of deposition of co-ignimbrite lag-breccias is revised to reveal that the central vent persisted longer into the eruption on grounds of pumice composition combined with lithic abundances in ignimbrite. Lag-breccia deposition was thus not proximal to vent. 3) 50 km from vent, near Truchas, a preserved Otowi sequence shows fall units A-E and thin ignimbrite veneer; reworked fine ash at top may have co-ignimbrite component. This shows that at least some of the pyroclastic flows were widespread and energetic; compositional data identifies these as some of the late-erupted flows. Moreover, Otowi ignimbrite filling the Rio Grande Valley were rapidly remobilized and are found as lahar-like deposits downriver near Socorro. 4) A distal fall deposit extends 100s km from source over Texas and consists of both Plinian column-derived and co-ignimbrite ash; ash composition is similar to lower units of Guaje fall deposit. 6) A revised minimum volume (DRE) estimate for Otowi deposits is: fall deposits 80 km (super 3) ; outflow ignimbrite 140 km (super 3) ; intra-caldera ignimbrite 150 km (super 3) ; total approximately 370 km (super 3) . Co-ignimbrite component of distal ash is most probably underestimated here; the likely original total is possibly 450-500 km (super 3) , placing the eruption at the low end of the super-eruption spectrum (Magnitude 8.1).

[Part 2 of 2] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION AND SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, SALEM COUNTY, NEW JERSEY (FORTY-FIFTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 868224165; 14696-6_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of operating licenses for the Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS) and Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 (Salem), in Salem County, New Jersey is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 45th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated Nuclear, LLC (PSEG), nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the licenses are renewed, federal and state agencies and the plant owners would go on to decide whether the plants should continue to operate based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating licenses are not renewed, HCGS would be shut down on or before August 6, 2026, and Salem Units 1 and 2 would be shut down on or before August 13, 2016 and April 18, 2020, respectively. Salem and HCGS are located at the southern end of Artificial Island in Lower Alloways Creek Township on the Delaware River. Philadelphia is 35 miles northeast and the city of Salem, New Jersey is eight miles northeast of the site. Artificial Island is a 1,500-acre island that was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers beginning in the early 20th century and is characterized by low and flat tidal marsh and grassland. PSEG owns 740 acres of which the Salem and HCGS facilities occupy 220 acres and 153 acres, respectively. The remainder of Artificial Island is undeveloped and is owned by the U.S. Government and the State of New Jersey. Salem is a two-unit plant, which uses pressurized water reactors designed by Westinghouse Electric. Each unit has a current licensed thermal power of 3,459-megawatt (MW)-thermal. Salem Units 1 and 2 entered commercial service June 1977 and October 1981, respectively. At 100 percent reactor power, the currently anticipated net electrical output is 1,169 MW-electric for Unit 1 and 1,181 MW-electric for Unit 2. The Salem units have once-through circulating water systems for condenser cooling that withdraws brackish water from the Delaware Estuary through one intake structure located at the shoreline on the south end of the site. An air-cooled combustion turbine peaking unit rated at 40 MW-electric is also present. HCGS is a one-unit station, which uses a boiling water reactor designed by General Electric. The power plant has a current licensed thermal power output of 3,840 MW-thermal with an electrical output estimated to be 1,083 MW-electric. HCGS has a closed-cycle circulating water system for condenser cooling that consists of a natural draft cooling tower and associated withdrawal, circulation, and discharge facilities. HCGS withdraws brackish water with the service water system from the Delaware Estuary. In addition to license renewal, other methods of power generation and a No Action Alternative are considered in this supplemental draft EIS. Replacement power options considered include supercritical coal-fired generation, natural gas combined-cycle generation, and, as part of a combination alternative, wind power generation combined with energy conservation and energy efficiency. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewal would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. Continued operation would maintain approximately 1,614 jobs and general tax revenue in the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw condenser cooling water and service water from the Delaware Estuary resulting in entrainment and impingement of fish and other aquatic species. Various waste flows would continue to be delivered to the Delaware River and discharged cooling water would continue to create a thermal plume. Groundwater production at Salem and HCGS could contribute to a gradual reduction in groundwater availability locally. Radiation doses to the public would continue at current levels which are deemed safe, but would continue to be monitored. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

AN - 818791505; 14696 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of operating licenses for the Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS) and Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 (Salem), in Salem County, New Jersey is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 45th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated Nuclear, LLC (PSEG), nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the licenses are renewed, federal and state agencies and the plant owners would go on to decide whether the plants should continue to operate based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating licenses are not renewed, HCGS would be shut down on or before August 6, 2026, and Salem Units 1 and 2 would be shut down on or before August 13, 2016 and April 18, 2020, respectively. Salem and HCGS are located at the southern end of Artificial Island in Lower Alloways Creek Township on the Delaware River. Philadelphia is 35 miles northeast and the city of Salem, New Jersey is eight miles northeast of the site. Artificial Island is a 1,500-acre island that was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers beginning in the early 20th century and is characterized by low and flat tidal marsh and grassland. PSEG owns 740 acres of which the Salem and HCGS facilities occupy 220 acres and 153 acres, respectively. The remainder of Artificial Island is undeveloped and is owned by the U.S. Government and the State of New Jersey. Salem is a two-unit plant, which uses pressurized water reactors designed by Westinghouse Electric. Each unit has a current licensed thermal power of 3,459-megawatt (MW)-thermal. Salem Units 1 and 2 entered commercial service June 1977 and October 1981, respectively. At 100 percent reactor power, the currently anticipated net electrical output is 1,169 MW-electric for Unit 1 and 1,181 MW-electric for Unit 2. The Salem units have once-through circulating water systems for condenser cooling that withdraws brackish water from the Delaware Estuary through one intake structure located at the shoreline on the south end of the site. An air-cooled combustion turbine peaking unit rated at 40 MW-electric is also present. HCGS is a one-unit station, which uses a boiling water reactor designed by General Electric. The power plant has a current licensed thermal power output of 3,840 MW-thermal with an electrical output estimated to be 1,083 MW-electric. HCGS has a closed-cycle circulating water system for condenser cooling that consists of a natural draft cooling tower and associated withdrawal, circulation, and discharge facilities. HCGS withdraws brackish water with the service water system from the Delaware Estuary. In addition to license renewal, other methods of power generation and a No Action Alternative are considered in this supplemental draft EIS. Replacement power options considered include supercritical coal-fired generation, natural gas combined-cycle generation, and, as part of a combination alternative, wind power generation combined with energy conservation and energy efficiency. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewal would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. Continued operation would maintain approximately 1,614 jobs and general tax revenue in the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw condenser cooling water and service water from the Delaware Estuary resulting in entrainment and impingement of fish and other aquatic species. Various waste flows would continue to be delivered to the Delaware River and discharged cooling water would continue to create a thermal plume. Groundwater production at Salem and HCGS could contribute to a gradual reduction in groundwater availability locally. Radiation doses to the public would continue at current levels which are deemed safe, but would continue to be monitored. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

N1 - Last updated - 2010-10-12 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER, PALO, LINN COUNTY, IOWA (FORTY-SECOND FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER, PALO, LINN COUNTY, IOWA (FORTY-SECOND FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 853676430; 14680-100409_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) in Linn County, Iowa is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 42nd supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, NextEra Energy Duane Arnold, LLC (formerly known as FPL Energy Duane Arnold, LLC), nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the DAEC in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, DAEC would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is February 21, 2014. The DAEC is located within a 500-acre site in a largely rural area two miles north-northeast of the town of Palo and 3 miles east of the Benton County line on the western bank of a north-south reach of the Cedar River. The nuclear reactor is a single General Electric boiling water reactor rated at 1,912 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 610 MW-electric. Two mechanical draft cooling towers are used, drawing water from the Cedar River. Water used in the reactor and most other plant systems is piped from the site's well water supply. The primary containment for the unit consists of a drywell, a steel structure that encloses the reactor vessel and related piping; a pressure suppression chamber containing a large volume of water; and a vent system that connects the drywell to the suppression chamber. A concrete reactor building houses the primary containment, serves as a radiation shield, and fulfills a secondary containment function. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Six transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. In addition to the proposed license renewal, alternative methods of power generation and a No Action alternative are considered in this final supplemental EIS. Replacement power options considered are coal-fired generation, natural gas combined-cycle generation, and as part of a combination alternative, conservation/efficiency, natural gas-fired capacity, and wind power. The NRC recommendation is that adverse impacts of license renewal for DAEC are not great enough to deny the option of license renewal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Cedar River and deliver makeup water back to the river and during a period of low river flow, the withdrawal rate could be significant. An additional discharge of approximately 15 to 25 gallons per minute (gpm) continuously, with an additional 100 gpm for six minutes three times per day is proposed. Four late 19th century archaeological sites exist on the DAEC property and 12 archaeological sites are located in the right-of-way of the 101 miles of transmission lines associated with the DAEC. The unit would continue to release radionuclides, but dose levels would be within federal standards. Accidental releases could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace natural vegetation and the wildlife habitat within the affected corridors. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

Samples were collected from thirty one (31) water points. All major ions were determined using standard methods. The results show that approximately 97% of the water sampled has TDS values less than 1000 mg/l. Chemical parameters are influenced primarily by silicate weathering, ion exchange processes and sea aerosol spray. Sodium ion (Na super( +)) concentration is generally high compared to other cations and bicarbonate (HCO sub( 3) super( -)) is the most abundant anion. Approximately 90% of the samples have iron concentrations greater than the W.H.O. limit for drinking water. Aluminium showed relatively higher concentration than other trace metals. The maximum and minimum concentrations recorded for cadmium Cd are 0.005 mg/l and 0.013 mg/l respectively. Concentrations of lead (Pb) zinc (Zn) were below detection limit. The groundwater in the basin is generally Na-Cl in character. Minor water types such as Ca-Mg-HCO sub( 3), Na-Mg-Ca-HCO sub( 3) and Na-Cl-SO sub( 4) were also delineated.

The design basis accident was simulated using the feedback coefficients calculated by the BMAC system. Usability of this fuel in low-power research reactors was demonstrated for both normal daily and accidental operation conditions even if the power of the reactor touches 142kW during the design basis accident simulation. Both HEU and LEU fuels behave similarly in the normal operation, the temperature of the cladding reaching about 60AC while higher temperature are obtained for the accidental conditions in the case of the LEU fuel (about 113.7AC against 98.6AC for the fuel center temperatures).

Since design-basis tornado windspeeds were decreased as a result of the analysis performed to update RG 1.76, it was no longer clear that the revised tornado design-basis windspeeds would bound design-basis hurricane windspeeds in all areas of the United States. According to Section 7.1.1 (Debris Potential at Safe Room Sites) of the Second Edition (August 2008) of FEMA 361 (Design and Construction Guidance for Community Safe Rooms), the literature on hurricanes as well as tornadoes contains numerous examples of large structural members that have been transported by winds for significant distances by the wind field when a portion of exterior sheathing remains connected and provides an aerodynamic sail area on which the wind can act.

Different formulations of shellac with varying concentrations (3, 5 and 7%) of these acrylic monomers such as 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA) and 1,4-butanediol diacrylate (BDDA) in methanol were prepared. The pure shellac and other treated films were then irradiated under gamma radiation (Co-60) at different doses (0.5-5kGy) at a dose rate of 3.5kGy/h where 1Gy=1J/kg=100 0; rads. The mechanical properties like tensile strength (TS) and elongation at break (Eb) of the prepared films were studied. The mechanical properties of the irradiated shellac films demonstrated superior values. Among the formulations, shellac grafted with BDDA (SL-g-BDDA) showed the highest TS and Eb values which were 543 and 168% higher than those of raw shellac films, respectively. The water uptake behavior of raw and treated films was also studied. The raw film showed 11% water uptake but HEMA containing film showed 67%. In the soil burial test, HEMA containing shellac film was rapidly degraded than other raw, EHA and BDDA grafted films. Thermal properties indicated that grafting of acrylic monomers decreased the melting temperature of the pure shellac films.

The optimization of the neutronics design is based on the optimization of all the neutronically influential components, the latest of which are the regulators. Both cadmium and stainless steel absorbers are substituted by boron. About 3.0 mm thickness of the Top Beryllium Reflector Shims are added to compensate for about 1 mk loss of initial excess reactivity caused by the now more efficient regulators. The new initial excess reactivity is about 4 mk. The daily operable time is extended to about 28.00 hrs, and much more samples (about ten times) can be irradiated daily. The neutronic characteristics of the optimized reactor are compared with those of the actual reactor. Advantages are listed, and savings are estimated.

The groundwater was found to vary considerably in terms of chemical and physical properties. Generally, the water was mildly acidic (pH4.3-7.4), brackish to fresh, and undersaturated with respect to gypsum and halite. The majority of groundwater clustered toward Ca-Mg-SO sub(4) and Na-Cl facies. About 70% of boreholes sampled have elevated levels of NO sub(3) super(-)-N, Cl super(-), and SO sub(4) super(2-) emanating from anthropogenic activities.

Nineteen sampling sites were distributed around the industrial zone on a surface area of about 100,000 m super(2). Atomic absorption spectroscopy and Alpha spectroscopy were used to quantify the heavy elements and polonium-210, respectively. Investigation on a particle scale was conducted by TEM and SEM coupled to EDX and X-ray cartography to determine the nature of heavy elements carriers and their distribution. Heavy elements were mainly concentrated inside the particle size fraction < 50 km. Their levels decreased with distance increasing from the industry. According to the reference soil, enrichment factors were about 10, 15, 32 and 100 times for Zn, Pb, Cu, and Cr, respectively inside the particle size fraction < 50 km on the closest sites to the industry. The main contaminant sources were transport and storage of row materials and the free release of phosphogypsum waste. Heavy elements were entrapped inside agglomerates of sulfates, phosphates and iron oxihydroxides in a diffused shape. Polonium-210 with an enrichment factor of about 56, showed the same behavior of the spatial distribution of the trace elements.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-03-23 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Climatic factors controlling chemical and isotopic characteristics of precipitation in Syria AN - 1777109228; 15132978 AB - The chemical and isotopic composition of monthly composite rain samples collected at 13 meteoric stations in Syria during two hydrological cycles from 1991 to 1993 have been measured. The chemical analysis of the samples revealed at a number of stations pollution due to industry and sand storms. The temporal and spatial variation of the isotopic composition has been found to be comparable with one of the neighbouring countries such as Jordan and others. The average weighted oxygen-18 and deuterium values are - 7.5 and - 39.11ppm, respectively, and the deuterium excess is 21ppm . The individual isotope values can be divided into two groups. One group is represented by winter precipitation and fits closely the Mediterranean Meteorological Water Line (MMWL). Thus, for winter precipitation, condensation of Mediterranean water vapour appears to be the dominating isotope fractionation process. The other group represents spring precipitation and is spread along an evaporation line below the MMWL, thus indicating the influence of sub-cloud evaporation. The d-excess has been found to be lower in the north of Syria (19.9ppm at Tartous, 18.1ppm at Jarablous) than in the south of the country (23.4ppm at Sweida, 24.1ppm at Izra) where Mediterranean air mass dominates. The d-excess of precipitation in neighbouring countries is also close to the average value of the eastern Mediterranean basin of 22ppm , e.g. for Jordan the value is 23ppm , which signifies that Mediterranean water vapour is, for all these countries, the dominant source of precipitation. The tritium content of precipitation was found to increase with distance from the coast (5.3 TU at coastal station Tartous, 8.8 TU at continental station Palmyra). Low tritium content and high d-excess at coastal stations clearly indicate a Mediterranean air moisture source. Copyright 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AN - 853675867; 14623-100351_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of combined operating licenses for the construction and operation of two new nuclear power reactor units at the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) site near Waynesboro, Georgia is proposed. On March 31, 2008, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc., on behalf of itself and its four co-applicants, submitted an application for two new units to be located west of and adjacent to the existing VEGP Units 1 and 2. The VEGP site is located in Burke County 26 miles southeast of Augusta. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved the site as suitable for the construction and operation of Units 3 and 4 with an early site permit issued in August, 2009. The Westinghouse AP1000 NRC-certified plant design is proposed for the two additional nuclear generating units. The AP1000 reactor design, which is based on Westinghouse pressurized water reactor technology, includes a single reactor pressure vessel, two steam generators, and four reactor coolant pumps for converting reactor thermal energy into steam. One high-pressure turbine and three low-pressure turbines drive a single electric generator. Each Westinghouse AP1000 unit is based on a standalone concept and consists of five principal generation structures: 1) the nuclear island, 2) the turbine building, 3) the annex building, 4) the diesel generator building, and 5) the radioactive waste building. Structures that make up the nuclear island include the containment building, the shield building, and the auxiliary building. Each reactor has a power rating of 3,400 megawatts (MW) thermal, with a net output of 1,117 MW electrical. The proposed cooling system would include one concrete natural draft hyperbolic cooling tower for each unit. One new 500-kilovolt transmission line would be required to connect the substation for the proposed Units 3 and 4 to the Thomson substation located west of Augusta. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. Construction of the proposed units would provide additional tax revenue for Burke County and funding for additional social services. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the proposed units would impact 494 acres on a short-term basis and 379 acres long-term. Moderate impacts would also occur along the transmission line right-of-way. An estimated 8.2 acres of jurisdictional wetlands would be impacted during construction of the water intake system, access road, and outfall structure. Operation would withdraw process water from the Savannah River and deliver makeup water back to the river resulting in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The combined loss of sandhills habitat, hardwood forest and bottomland wetlands, planted pine habitat, and open field habitat during the construction of Units 3 and 4 and the clearing of new borrow areas for backfill material would reduce available habitat for wildlife, including the southeastern pocket gopher and sandhills milkvetch. Installation of the river water intake piping would impact a small portion of a historic cemetery.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: KEWAUNEE POWER STATION, KEWAUNEE COUNTY, WISCONSIN (FORTIETH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 873132393; 14622-0_0001 AB - PURPOSE: A 20-year renewal of the operating license for the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) in Kewaunee County, Wisconsin is proposed in this 40th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc., nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Plant-specific reviews for the remaining 23 issues are addressed with respect to KPS in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is December 21, 2013. The power station, which is located within a 908-acre site on the west-central shore of Lake Michigan 30 miles east-southeast of Green Bay and 8 miles south of the city of Kewaunee, is a single-unit, two-loop closed cycle pressurized-water reactor with a turbine-generator. The reactor and turbine-generator were furnished by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. KPS uses a once-through heat dissipation system that withdraws water from, and discharges to, Lake Michigan. The unit is rated at 1,722 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 590 MW-electric. The reactor is housed in a double containment consisting of a cylindrical steel shell surrounded by a reinforced concrete cylindrical shield building. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. KPS is connected to the regional grid via two 138-kilovolt (kV) and two 345-kV transmission lines. In addition to the proposed license renewal, alternative methods of power generation and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final supplemental EIS. Replacement power options considered were coal-fired generation, natural gas combined-cycle generation, and as part of a combination alternative, conservation/efficiency, wood-fired generation, and wind power. The NRC recommendation is that adverse impacts of license renewal for KPS are not great enough to deny the option of license renewal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewal would allow the applicant to meet the future needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the unit would continue to withdraw process water from Lake Michigan and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water from the cooling system would continue to result in altered currents and a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace natural vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat within the affected corridors.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - MOORE RANCH IN-SITU URANIUM RECOVERY (ISR) PROJECT, CAMPBELL COUNTY, WYOMING (FIRST FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 2009). AN - 873132370; 14591-7_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a new source material license for the construction, operation, aquifer restoration, and decommissioning of an in-situ leach uranium recovery facility, also known as an in-situ recovery (ISR) facility, in Campbell County, Wyoming is proposed. Energy Metals Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Uranium One Americas, Inc., submitted an application for the Moore Ranch Project located in the Wyoming East Uranium Milling Region. In June 2009, a final generic EIS assessed the potential environmental impacts from the construction and operation of ISR facilities for four specified geographic regions of the western United States. As part of that assessment, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) determined which potential impacts would be essentially the same for all ISR facilities and which would result in varying levels of impacts for different facilities, thus requiring further site-specific information to determine potential impacts. The proposed area for the license in question consists of 7,110 acres remotely located on private land. Facilities would include a central plant with processing capabilities; two well fields with injection, production, and monitor wells, header houses, pipelines to connect the well fields with the central plant, and an access road network. During the ISR process, an oxidant-charged solution, called a lixiviant, is injected into the production zone aquifer (uranium ore body) through injection wells. Typically, a lixiviant uses native ground water, carbon dioxide, and sodium carbonate/bicarbonate, with an oxygen or hydrogen peroxide oxidant. As it circulates though the production zone, the lixiviant oxidizes and dissolves the mineralized uranium, which is present in a reduced chemical state. The resulting uranium-rich solution is drawn to recovery wells by pumping, and then transferred to a processing facility via a network of pipes. At the processing facility, the uranium is leached from the solution and the resulting barren solution is then recharged with the oxidant and re-injected to recover more uranium from the well field. During production, the uranium recovery solution continually moves through the aquifer from outlying injection wells to internal recovery wells which can be arranged in a variety of geometric patterns. Wellfields are often designed in a five-spot or seven-spot pattern, with each recovery well being located inside a ring of injection wells. A five-spot pattern is proposed for the Moore Ranch Project. Monitoring wells completed in the production zone aquifer and the overlying and underlying aquifers would detect lixiviant in case of migration out of the production zone. The uranium that is recovered from the solution would be processed, dried into yellowcake and packaged into approved 55-gallon steel drums, and trucked offsite to a licensed conversion facility. In addition to the proposed action, a No Action Alternative is evaluated in this final EIS. The NRC staff recommendation is that the source license be issued as requested unless safety issues mandate otherwise. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would authorize commercial-scale ISR uranium recovery on private lands with adequate mitigation measures to ensure public safety and protection of environmental resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the plant and facilities would disturb150 acres of land resulting in displacement of soils, vegetation, and the associated wildlife habitat. Facility workers would be exposed to radiation, but only at levels comparable to background level.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-03-23 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MOORE RANCH IN-SITU URANIUM RECOVERY (ISR) PROJECT, CAMPBELL COUNTY, WYOMING (FIRST FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 2009). AN - 758977762; 14591 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a new source material license for the construction, operation, aquifer restoration, and decommissioning of an in-situ leach uranium recovery facility, also known as an in-situ recovery (ISR) facility, in Campbell County, Wyoming is proposed. Energy Metals Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Uranium One Americas, Inc., submitted an application for the Moore Ranch Project located in the Wyoming East Uranium Milling Region. In June 2009, a final generic EIS assessed the potential environmental impacts from the construction and operation of ISR facilities for four specified geographic regions of the western United States. As part of that assessment, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) determined which potential impacts would be essentially the same for all ISR facilities and which would result in varying levels of impacts for different facilities, thus requiring further site-specific information to determine potential impacts. The proposed area for the license in question consists of 7,110 acres remotely located on private land. Facilities would include a central plant with processing capabilities; two well fields with injection, production, and monitor wells, header houses, pipelines to connect the well fields with the central plant, and an access road network. During the ISR process, an oxidant-charged solution, called a lixiviant, is injected into the production zone aquifer (uranium ore body) through injection wells. Typically, a lixiviant uses native ground water, carbon dioxide, and sodium carbonate/bicarbonate, with an oxygen or hydrogen peroxide oxidant. As it circulates though the production zone, the lixiviant oxidizes and dissolves the mineralized uranium, which is present in a reduced chemical state. The resulting uranium-rich solution is drawn to recovery wells by pumping, and then transferred to a processing facility via a network of pipes. At the processing facility, the uranium is leached from the solution and the resulting barren solution is then recharged with the oxidant and re-injected to recover more uranium from the well field. During production, the uranium recovery solution continually moves through the aquifer from outlying injection wells to internal recovery wells which can be arranged in a variety of geometric patterns. Wellfields are often designed in a five-spot or seven-spot pattern, with each recovery well being located inside a ring of injection wells. A five-spot pattern is proposed for the Moore Ranch Project. Monitoring wells completed in the production zone aquifer and the overlying and underlying aquifers would detect lixiviant in case of migration out of the production zone. The uranium that is recovered from the solution would be processed, dried into yellowcake and packaged into approved 55-gallon steel drums, and trucked offsite to a licensed conversion facility. In addition to the proposed action, a No Action Alternative is evaluated in this final EIS. The NRC staff recommendation is that the source license be issued as requested unless safety issues mandate otherwise. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would authorize commercial-scale ISR uranium recovery on private lands with adequate mitigation measures to ensure public safety and protection of environmental resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the plant and facilities would disturb150 acres of land resulting in displacement of soils, vegetation, and the associated wildlife habitat. Facility workers would be exposed to radiation, but only at levels comparable to background level.

Spatial trends of solutes, geochemical modeling and principal component analysis indicate that carbonate dissolution, silicate weathering and ion exchange control the major-ion chemistry. The groundwater is dominantly of Na-Cl type brackish water. Approximately 17% of the examined groundwaters exhibit As concentrations higher than the maximum acceptable limit of 10I14g/L for drinking water. Strong correlation (R 2 =0.67) of Fe with dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and positive saturation index of siderite suggests that the reductive dissolution of Fe-oxyhydroxide in presence of organic matter is considered to be the dominant process to release high content of Fe (median 0.31mg/L) in the deep aquifer. In contrast, As is not correlated with Fe and DOC. Boron concentration in the 26% samples exceeds the standard limit of 500I14g/L, for water intended for human consumption. Negative relationships of B/Cl ratio with Cl and boron with Na/Ca ratio demonstrate the boron in deep groundwater is accompanied by brackish water and cation exchange within the clayey sediments.

[Part 1 of 2] T2 - LEVY NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2, APPLICATION FOR COMBINED LICENSES, LEVY COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 873133429; 14565-1_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of combined operating licenses for the construction and operation of two new nuclear power reactor units at the Levy Nuclear Plant (LNP) site in Levy County, Florida is proposed. Progress Energy Florida, Inc. submitted an application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on July 28, 2008 for the proposed LNP Units 1 and 2 which would be located on a 3,105-acre greenfield site 7.9 miles east of the Gulf of Mexico and 30.1 miles west of Ocala. The site is also 9.6 miles from the Crystal River Energy Complex (CREC), an energy facility owned by Progress Energy Florida. The applicant's proposal is to build and operate two Westinghouse AP1000 reactor steam electric generating systems. Each reactor would connect to two steam generators that transfer heat from the reactor core, converting feed water to steam that drives high-pressure and low-pressure turbines, thereby creating electricity. The AP1000 design has a thermal power rating of 3,415 megawatts (MW) thermal, with a design gross-electrical output of 1,200 MW electrical. Each reactor unit would be supported by a multicell mechanical draft cooling tower that is approximately 1,000 feet long and 56 feet high. Makeup water would be provided to the plant from the Cross Florida Barge Canal (CFBC) through a cooling-water intake structure located on the north side of the canal and south of the LNP site. No new discharge structure is proposed for LNP Units 1 and 2. A portion of the makeup water would be transported via pipeline from the LNP site to the CREC site and released into the existing discharge canal and ultimately into the Gulf of Mexico. The remaining portion of LNP makeup water would be released into the atmosphere via evaporative cooling through the mechanical draft cooling towers. Access to the LNP site would be provided by two roads approaching from U.S. Highway 19. Solid waste and radioactive waste would leave the site via roadways. Liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste-management systems would collect the radioactive materials produced as byproducts of operating the proposed units. Progress Energy Florida is in the process of acquiring right-of-way for transmission-line corridors that would provide the connection between the LNP site and the area power grid. Based on estimates of construction phase duration and schedule, LNP site preparation would start in 2012, peak employment of 3,300 workers would be reached in 2016, Unit 1 would commence commercial operation in 2018, and Unit 2 would commence commercial operation in 2019. In addition to the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, this draft EIS considers energy source alternatives, alternative reactor sites, system design alternatives, and onsite alternatives to reduce impacts on natural and cultural resources. The preliminary recommendation of Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff is that the operating licenses be issued as requested. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would help meet growing demand by providing additional baseload electrical generation capacity within the Progress Energy Florida service area, including Orlando and St. Petersburg. Tax revenue would benefit Levy County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction would permanently convert 627 acres of land onsite and 219 acres offsite. Transmission-line corridors would require 1,790 acres of land disturbance. Building LNP Units 1 and 2 and their ancillary facilities would occur within the 100-year floodplain and would permanently impact 318.6 acres of wetlands. Hydrologic alterations at or near the site would include: dredging for the intake structure, barge slip, and discharge pipeline; altering the surface topography; changes to runoff and infiltration characteristics; dewatering the excavations for the nuclear island and intake structure; and groundwater withdrawal to supply water. Activities along the proposed transmission corridors could affect habitat for wood stork, red-cockaded woodpecker, and Florida scrub jay. Increased demand would stress community public services including education, police, emergency services, fire protection, and transportation.

AN - 853675846; 14566-100312_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of combined operating licenses for the construction and operation of two new nuclear power reactor units at the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant (CPNPP) site in Hood and Somervell counties, Texas is proposed. Luminant Generation Company LLC, acting for itself and as agent for Nuclear Project Company LLC (subsequently renamed Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Company LLC), submitted an application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on September 19, 2008 for the proposed CPNPP Units 3 and 4 which would be located adjacent to the existing Units 1 and 2. The site, which is situated 40 miles southwest of Fort Worth and 5 miles north of Glen Rose, currently consists of two Westinghouse pressurized-water reactor units, a turbine building, a switchyard, water intake and discharge structures, and support buildings. A radioactive waste disposal system and a fuel-handling system are located on the site. Squaw Creek Reservoir serves as the source of cooling water for Units 1 and 2. The proposed CPNPP Units 3 and 4 would utilize Mitsubishi Heavy Industries U.S. Advanced Pressurized-Water Reactor units, each having a rated and design core thermal power level of 4,451 megawatts (MW) thermal and a rated and design net output of 1,600 MW electrical. The units would use enriched uranium dioxide fuel. Wet mechanical draft cooling towers are proposed for Units 3 and 4. Water would be supplied from a new intake structure on Lake Granbury through two new pipelines. A new blowdown water treatment facility and evaporation pond would be constructed south of Units 1 and 2 and two new pipelines would be built for discharge of treated blowdown water to Lake Granbury. Up to four new transmission lines would be built, including two added to existing towers and two built on new towers in new rights-of-way. A new sanitary waste treatment plant with a 100,000 gallon per day capacity would be installed and would be used to dewater sanitary waste sludge from all four units. Commercial electric generation is expected to begin in 2017 for CPNPP Unit 3 and in 2018 for Unit 4. In addition to the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, this draft EIS considers alternative reactor sites and mitigation measures for reducing adverse impacts. The preliminary recommendation of Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff is that the operating licenses be issued as requested. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would provide additional baseload electrical generation capacity within the service areas of Luminant Generation Company. Significant employment and income benefits would accrue to Somervell and Hood counties. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Erection of the new units would disturb 675 acres of land, permanently convert 161 acres of prime farmland, and result in permanent loss of 445 acres of terrestrial habitat. Installation of a water intake structure could lead to a temporary increase in turbidity in Lake Granbury. Proposed transmission lines and pipelines could sever tracts of public and private property and one corridor could pass on or close to Dinosaur Valley State Park with potential to impact black-capped vireo and golden-cheeked warbler. Withdrawal of water from Lake Granbury would result in lower water levels in the lake with potential impacts to aquatic resources and decreased flows in the Brazos River. Impacts due to cooling system operation to shoreline vegetation would be noticeable.

Preparation date: August 6, 2010 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LEVY NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2, APPLICATION FOR COMBINED LICENSES, LEVY COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 755143106; 14565 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of combined operating licenses for the construction and operation of two new nuclear power reactor units at the Levy Nuclear Plant (LNP) site in Levy County, Florida is proposed. Progress Energy Florida, Inc. submitted an application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on July 28, 2008 for the proposed LNP Units 1 and 2 which would be located on a 3,105-acre greenfield site 7.9 miles east of the Gulf of Mexico and 30.1 miles west of Ocala. The site is also 9.6 miles from the Crystal River Energy Complex (CREC), an energy facility owned by Progress Energy Florida. The applicant's proposal is to build and operate two Westinghouse AP1000 reactor steam electric generating systems. Each reactor would connect to two steam generators that transfer heat from the reactor core, converting feed water to steam that drives high-pressure and low-pressure turbines, thereby creating electricity. The AP1000 design has a thermal power rating of 3,415 megawatts (MW) thermal, with a design gross-electrical output of 1,200 MW electrical. Each reactor unit would be supported by a multicell mechanical draft cooling tower that is approximately 1,000 feet long and 56 feet high. Makeup water would be provided to the plant from the Cross Florida Barge Canal (CFBC) through a cooling-water intake structure located on the north side of the canal and south of the LNP site. No new discharge structure is proposed for LNP Units 1 and 2. A portion of the makeup water would be transported via pipeline from the LNP site to the CREC site and released into the existing discharge canal and ultimately into the Gulf of Mexico. The remaining portion of LNP makeup water would be released into the atmosphere via evaporative cooling through the mechanical draft cooling towers. Access to the LNP site would be provided by two roads approaching from U.S. Highway 19. Solid waste and radioactive waste would leave the site via roadways. Liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste-management systems would collect the radioactive materials produced as byproducts of operating the proposed units. Progress Energy Florida is in the process of acquiring right-of-way for transmission-line corridors that would provide the connection between the LNP site and the area power grid. Based on estimates of construction phase duration and schedule, LNP site preparation would start in 2012, peak employment of 3,300 workers would be reached in 2016, Unit 1 would commence commercial operation in 2018, and Unit 2 would commence commercial operation in 2019. In addition to the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, this draft EIS considers energy source alternatives, alternative reactor sites, system design alternatives, and onsite alternatives to reduce impacts on natural and cultural resources. The preliminary recommendation of Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff is that the operating licenses be issued as requested. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would help meet growing demand by providing additional baseload electrical generation capacity within the Progress Energy Florida service area, including Orlando and St. Petersburg. Tax revenue would benefit Levy County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction would permanently convert 627 acres of land onsite and 219 acres offsite. Transmission-line corridors would require 1,790 acres of land disturbance. Building LNP Units 1 and 2 and their ancillary facilities would occur within the 100-year floodplain and would permanently impact 318.6 acres of wetlands. Hydrologic alterations at or near the site would include: dredging for the intake structure, barge slip, and discharge pipeline; altering the surface topography; changes to runoff and infiltration characteristics; dewatering the excavations for the nuclear island and intake structure; and groundwater withdrawal to supply water. Activities along the proposed transmission corridors could affect habitat for wood stork, red-cockaded woodpecker, and Florida scrub jay. Increased demand would stress community public services including education, police, emergency services, fire protection, and transportation. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: PALO VERDE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA (FORTY-THIRD DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 873132336; 14579-5_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of operating licenses for the three-unit Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS) in Maricopa County, Arizona is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 43rd supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 issues and reached conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants. Neither the applicant, Arizona Public Service Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 generic issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the three units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating licenses are not renewed, the facility would be shut down on or before expiration of the current licenses, June 1, 2025 for Unit 1, April 24, 2026 for Unit 2, and November 25, 2027 for Unit 3. PVNGS is located within a 4,280-acre site 45 miles west of central Phoenix. The site buildings and adjacent, developed areas comprise 720 acres and there are 605 surface acres of water on site in various large ponds. Each Combustion Engineering System 80 pressurized water nuclear reactor uses low-enriched uranium dioxide fuel to produce a core power of 3,990 megawatts (MW)-thermal and a nominal net electrical capacity of 1,346 MW-electric. The containment building is a pre-stressed, reinforced concrete cylinder with a slab base and a hemispherical dome. A welded steel liner is attached to the inside face of the concrete shell to insure a high degree of leak tightness. In addition, the four-foot thick concrete walls serve as a radiation shield. PVNGS does not use public water supplies for plant operations, but instead relies on wastewater effluents from several area municipalities and groundwater from three onsite production wells. Cooling water effluents are discharged to man-made lined evaporation ponds with no outlet and no hydraulic connection to any natural surface water body. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Seven 525-kilovolt transmission lines connect PVNGS to the regional power grid. The preliminary recommendation is that renewal of the licenses is a reasonable option. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow Arizona Public Service Company to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operational use of groundwater would continue, but is considered inconsequential. On-site sources would continue to emit criteria air pollutants and hazardous air pollutants, but impacts are not expected to destabilize air quality. Continued operations would contribute to cumulative radiological impacts that would still be considered small. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

In this study, we used the HYDRUS-2D variably saturated flow and transport model to describe the observed mass flux breakthrough curves (BTCs) of three surface-applied tracers--Br (super -) , Cl (super -) , and pentafluorobenzoic acid (PFBA)--to a single well from which the tracers were pumped. Axisymmetrical transport simulations of the data indicated the presence of an active seepage face along the soil-well interface near the water table. The calculated cumulative water flux to the well through the seepage face was found to be 120% of the variable flux boundary into the well through the submerged zone. In addition, calculated mass fluxes of Br, Cl, and PFBA through the seepage interface were approximately 8, 4, and 11 times, respectively, those through the variable flux boundary. Calculations suggest that a seepage face may be responsible for causing the early arrival of the solutes and the overall shape of the BTCs. Our study indicates the potentially important role a seepage face along the soil-well interface may have in modeling water flow and chemical transport to wells in variably saturated, unconfined aquifers.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operational use of groundwater would continue, but is considered inconsequential. On-site sources would continue to emit criteria air pollutants and hazardous air pollutants, but impacts are not expected to destabilize air quality. Continued operations would contribute to cumulative radiological impacts that would still be considered small.

The groundwater was weakly acidic, moderately mineralized, fresh to brackish with conductivity ranging from of 96.6kScm super(-1) in the North to 10,070kScm super(-1) in the South. Densu River basin have special economic significance, representing the countries greatest hydrostructure with freshwater. Chemical constituents are generally low in the North and high in the South. The order of relative abundance of major cations in the groundwater is Na super(+)> Ca super(2+)> Mg super(2+)> K super(+) while that of anions is Cl super(-)> HCO sub(3) super(-)> SO sub(4) super(2-) >NO sub(3) super(-). Four main chemical water types were delineated in the Basin. These include Ca-Mg-HCO sub(3), Mg-Ca-Cl, Na-Cl, and mixed waters in which neither a particular cation nor anion dominates. Silicate weathering and ion exchange are probably the main processes through which major ions enter the groundwater system. Anthropogenic activities were found to have greatly impacted negatively on the quality of the groundwater.

Chicken kabab was treated with 0, 2, 4 or 6 kGy doses of gamma irradiation. Treated and untreated samples were kept in a refrigerator (1-4 C). Microbiological, chemical and sensory characteristics of chicken kabab were evaluated at 0-5 months of storage. Gamma irradiation decreased the microbial load and increased the shelf-life of chicken kabab. Irradiation did not influence the major constituents of chicken kabab (moisture, protein and fats). No significant differences (p>0.05) were observed for total acidity between non-irradiated (control) and irradiated chicken kabab. Thiobarbitric acid (TBA) values (expressed as mg malonaldehyde (MDA)/kg chicken kabab) and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) in chicken kabab were not affected by the irradiation. Sensory evaluation showed no significant differences between irradiated and non-irradiated samples.

In the experimental procedure, it was observed that the fluxes rise to a peak before falling and then finally leveling out, axially. Axially and radially, it was also observed that the fluxes in the center of the channels were lower than those on the sides. Radially, the fluxes dipped in the center while they increased monotonically towards the sides of the channels. The results have shown that there are flux variations within the irradiation channels at both axial and radial directions.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: COOPER NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 1, NEMAHA COUNTY, NEBRASKA (FORTY-FIRST FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 873131169; 14550-7_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Cooper Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (CNS-1), in Nemaha County, Nebraska is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 41st supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Nebraska Public Power District, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to CNS-1 in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, CNS-1 would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is January 18, 2014. The power station, which is located within a 1,359-acre site 2.25 miles southeast of Brownsville and 60 miles southeast of Lincoln on the western shore of the Missouri River, consists of a single-unit boiling water reactor with a nuclear steam supply system supplied by General Electric and a turbine generator set supplied by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The unit is rated at 2,419 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 830 MW-electric and uses a once-through cooling system that withdraws from and discharges to the Missouri River. The reactor, which was placed in service in 1974, is housed in a reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four transmission lines are considered in scope for the license renewal. Three of the lines connect CNS-1 to the regional power grid via 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines and a fourth line connects the plant to the switchyard. In addition to the proposed license renewal, alternative methods of power generation and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final supplemental EIS. Replacement power options considered were coal-fired generation, natural gas combined-cycle generation, and as part of a combination alternative, conservation, natural gas-fired capacity, and wind power. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the unit would continue to withdraw process water from the Missouri River and deliver makeup water back to the river resulting in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbons and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Undiscovered historic and archaeological resources could be deeply buried on plant property.

The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Undiscovered historic and archaeological resources could be deeply buried on plant property. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

AN - 873128962; 14503-8_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a license to construct, operate, and decommission a uranium enrichment facility in Bonneville County, Idaho is proposed. The Eagle Rock Enrichment Facility (EREF) would be located on a 460-acre section of a 4,200-acre parcel of land that AREVA Enrichment Services, LLC (AES) intends to purchase from a single private landowner. The license would authorize AES to possess and use byproduct material, source material, and special nuclear material at the proposed EREF site near Idaho Falls for a period of 30 years. AES would employ a gas centrifuge process to produce uranium enriched up to five percent by weight in the isotope uranium-235, with a planned maximum target production of 6.6 million separative work units (SWUs) per year. The enriched uranium produced at the proposed EREF would be used to manufacture nuclear fuel for commercial nuclear power reactors. Production at the facility would be equivalent to about 40 percent of the current and projected demand (15 to 16 million SWU) for enrichment services within the United States. Major facilities within the proposed EREF would include: cylinder storage pads, a centrifuge assembly building, four Separations Building Modules (SBMs), a cylinder receipt and shipping building, and various support and administrative buildings. If the license is approved, facility construction would begin in 2011 with heavy construction of all major buildings and structures continuing for seven years into 2018. The proposed EREF would begin initial production in 2014 and reach peak production in 2022. Operations would continue at peak production until approximately nine years before the license expires. Decommissioning activities would then begin and be completed by 2041. Decommissioning would involve the sequential shutdown of the four SBMs resulting in a gradual decrease in production. Each SBM would take approximately 4.5 years to decommission. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative. Although not part of the licensing action, the construction and operation of a proposed 161-kilovolt (kV) electrical transmission line required to power the proposed EREF are considered under cumulative impacts. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The EREF would provide an additional economical domestic source of uranium enrichment services, and increased regional employment, income, and tax revenue. Construction would create 1,687 jobs in the peak year, while operations would produce 3,289 jobs and $92.4 million in income in the first year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in some soil erosion, soil compaction, changes in drainage patterns, and disruption to wildlife. Traffic volume on US 20 would increase. During operations, there would be a potential for small gaseous releases that could contain uranium isotopes, hydrogen fluoride, and uranyl fluoride. Noise impacts from construction could exceed standards at some off-site locations. Operation would generate 11,136 pounds of hazardous wastes and 1,222 cylinders of depleted uranium annually. The EREF would be located 1.5 miles from US 20 and the Hell's Half Acre Wilderness Study Area and would create a significant contrast with the surrounding visual environment.

In this configuration, two kinds of current electrode half-spacings are used: the first enables construction of vertical electrical resistivity sounding (VES) curves for shallow depths (<50 m) and the second for depths < or =250 m. For a given VES location, two field curves are measured and interpreted using two standard approaches. Practical characteristics of such a modified configuration are illustrated with two field applications in Syria. The first aims to characterize the structure of Quaternary and recent deposits in the Al-Ghab depression region, and the second deals with exploration for phosphatic sedimentary units in the Al-Sharquieh mine.

The Phase 2 DP is based on the following preferences: (1) Excavation or demolition and disposal when it is cost-effective; (2) decontamination when it is judged to be cost-effective compared to disposal; and (3) decontamination or removal of selected contaminated areas of pavement and subsurface material to site specific derived concentration guideline levels (DCGLs), to reduce the volume of waste and therefore minimize the cost of disposal. The following issues are addressed in the Feasibility Study: (1) Land use and recreational and aesthetic resources; (2) climatology, meteorology, and air quality; (3) geology and soils; (4) water resources; (5) biological resources; (6) threatened and endangered species; (7) wetlands and flood plains; (8) population and socioeconomics, and (9) historical, archeological, and cultural resources.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-04-01 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GE-HITACHI GLOBAL LASER ENRICHMENT LLC FACILITY, WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA. [Part 1 of 1] T2 - GE-HITACHI GLOBAL LASER ENRICHMENT LLC FACILITY, WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 873131013; 14380-9_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a license to construct, operate, and decommission a laser-based uranium enrichment facility near Wilmington, North Carolina is proposed. General Electric (GE)-Hitachi Global Laser Enrichment LLC (GLE) submitted an environmental report to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the GLE Global Laser Enrichment Facility which would be located on 100 acres in the north-central sector of an existing GE property in an unincorporated area of New Hanover County. The proposed GLE facility would enrich uranium for use in commercial nuclear fuel for power reactors. Feed material would be comprised of non-enriched uranium hexafluoride (UF6). GLE would employ a laser-based enrichment process to enrich uranium to up to eight percent uranium-235 by weight, with an initial planned maximum target production of six million separative work units per year. The proposed facility would employ the separation of isotopes by laser excitation process, a third-generation laser-based technology for enriching natural uranium. GLE expects to begin preconstruction activities in 2011. If the license is approved, GLE would expect to begin facility construction in 2012, and continue some construction activities through 2017. GLE anticipates commencing initial production in 2013 and reaching peak production in 2017. Prior to license expiration in 2052, GLE would seek to renew its license to continue operating the facility, or plan for the decontamination and decommissioning of the facility per the applicable licensing conditions and regulations. Primary facilities would include an operations building and six cylinder storage pads where licensed material would be used or stored. New facility buildings and supporting infrastructure would include three administrative buildings, waste storage buildings, an electrical substation, backup diesel generators, potable and process water systems, a holding pond for cylinder storage pad stormwater, a stormwater wet detention basin, parking areas, and roads. In addition to the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, this draft EIS considers alternative sites, alternative sources of low-enriched uranium, and alternative technologies for uranium enrichment. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed facility would provide an additional domestic source of low-enriched uranium to be used in commercial nuclear power plants. Once operational, production would mitigate the reliability risk for the nuclear fuel supply imposed by the current dependence on a single domestic supplier and foreign sources for low-enriched uranium. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Preconstruction activities impacts would generally be small, and would, in most cases, be mitigated. The disturbed area would be cleared of vegetation and would lead to the displacement of some local wildlife populations. Temporary impacts from the construction of new facilities would include increased fugitive dust, increased potential for soil erosion and stormwater pollution, and increased vehicle traffic and emissions. Water consumption from onsite wells during the proposed action would be relatively small and the risk for significant adverse impacts on neighboring residential wells or public supply wells is expected to be small. During operations, workers and members of the public could be exposed to radiation and chemicals.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-04-01 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GE-HITACHI GLOBAL LASER ENRICHMENT LLC FACILITY, WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 15234756; 14380 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a license to construct, operate, and decommission a laser-based uranium enrichment facility near Wilmington, North Carolina is proposed. General Electric (GE)-Hitachi Global Laser Enrichment LLC (GLE) submitted an environmental report to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the GLE Global Laser Enrichment Facility which would be located on 100 acres in the north-central sector of an existing GE property in an unincorporated area of New Hanover County. The proposed GLE facility would enrich uranium for use in commercial nuclear fuel for power reactors. Feed material would be comprised of non-enriched uranium hexafluoride (UF6). GLE would employ a laser-based enrichment process to enrich uranium to up to eight percent uranium-235 by weight, with an initial planned maximum target production of six million separative work units per year. The proposed facility would employ the separation of isotopes by laser excitation process, a third-generation laser-based technology for enriching natural uranium. GLE expects to begin preconstruction activities in 2011. If the license is approved, GLE would expect to begin facility construction in 2012, and continue some construction activities through 2017. GLE anticipates commencing initial production in 2013 and reaching peak production in 2017. Prior to license expiration in 2052, GLE would seek to renew its license to continue operating the facility, or plan for the decontamination and decommissioning of the facility per the applicable licensing conditions and regulations. Primary facilities would include an operations building and six cylinder storage pads where licensed material would be used or stored. New facility buildings and supporting infrastructure would include three administrative buildings, waste storage buildings, an electrical substation, backup diesel generators, potable and process water systems, a holding pond for cylinder storage pad stormwater, a stormwater wet detention basin, parking areas, and roads. In addition to the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, this draft EIS considers alternative sites, alternative sources of low-enriched uranium, and alternative technologies for uranium enrichment. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed facility would provide an additional domestic source of low-enriched uranium to be used in commercial nuclear power plants. Once operational, production would mitigate the reliability risk for the nuclear fuel supply imposed by the current dependence on a single domestic supplier and foreign sources for low-enriched uranium. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Preconstruction activities impacts would generally be small, and would, in most cases, be mitigated. The disturbed area would be cleared of vegetation and would lead to the displacement of some local wildlife populations. Temporary impacts from the construction of new facilities would include increased fugitive dust, increased potential for soil erosion and stormwater pollution, and increased vehicle traffic and emissions. Water consumption from onsite wells during the proposed action would be relatively small and the risk for significant adverse impacts on neighboring residential wells or public supply wells is expected to be small. During operations, workers and members of the public could be exposed to radiation and chemicals. There would be some irreversible commitment of land at offsite locations for disposal of wastes generated during the conversion of depleted UF6.

[...] annual fees, presented in 10 CFR part 171 under the authority of OBRA-90, recover generic regulatory costs not otherwise recovered through 10 CFR part 170 fees. The higher FY 2010 fee is primarily due to an increase in total budgeted resources allocated to the fuel facilities fee class for increased support for environmental reviews, and licensing amendments and renewals for existing fuel fabrication facilities. Because annual fees must recover all budgeted resources for a fee class not recovered through part 170 fees, annual fees for all facilities in the fee class are impacted by the lower part 170 fee collections estimate for FY 2010.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-04-01 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Safety analysis of the reference research reactor MTR during reactivity insertion accident using the code MERSAT AN - 760204720; 13201382 AB - The IAEA's reference research reactor MTR-10MW has been modeled using the code MERSAT. The developed MERSAT model consists of detailed representation of primary and secondary loops including reactor pool, bypass, main pump, heat exchanger and reactor core with the corresponding neutronics and thermalhydraulic characteristics. Following the successful accomplishment of the steady state operation at nominal power of 10MW, reactivity insertion accident (RIA) for three different initial reactivity values of $1.5/0.5s, $1.35/0.5s and $0.1/1.0s have been simulated. The predicted peaks of reactor power, hot channel fuel, clad and coolant temperatures demonstrate inherent safety features of the reference MTR reactor. Only in case of the fast RIA of $1.5/0.5s, where the peak power of 133.66MW arrived 0.625s after the start of the transient, the maximum hot channel clad temperature arrives at the condition of subcooled boiling with the subsequent void formation. However, due to the strong negative reactivity feedback effects of coolant and fuel temperatures the void formation persists for a very short time so that thermalhydraulic conditions remained far from exceeding the safety design limits of thermalhydraulic instability and DNB. Finally, the simulation results show good agreement with previous international benchmark analyses accomplished with other qualified channel and thermalhydraulic system codes.

The stored water, entirely taken from the Figeh springs during flood periods, was injected in a single well having a brackish groundwater. Water samples were collected from four observation wells drilled in the Damascus University Campus (DUC) site during a 3-year period (2006-2008). The injectant water, which deviates in its chemical and isotopic signatures from that of the ambient groundwater, shows that the stored water plume remains within close proximity to the injection well (IW) (< nearly equal 100 m). Thus, only two wells (W13 and W14) located at a distance less than 80 m from the injection point were affected by this injection. The observation wells located at longer distances from the IW ( nearly equal 145 m and nearly equal 600 m for wells W15 and WHz, respectively) were completely unaffected by the injection. Although most of the chemical and isotopic parameters usefully reflected the mixing process that occurs between the injectant water and ambient groundwater, the stable isotope ( (super 18) O) and chloride (Cl (super -) ) were the most sensitive parameters that quickly reflect this signature. Using a simple mass balance, the calculated proportion of injectant water reaching the well W13 was in the range of 50-90%. This proportion was even lower (30-55%) in the case of well W14. Although the drought event prevailing during this study did not much help to inject further amounts of water, higher than the injected volume (0.2416 M m (super 3) ) and also not favourable to better evaluate the fate and subsurface hydrological processes, these findings offer encouragement to continue the ASR activities, as an alternative way for better management of water resources in this basin facing intensive problems.

Extensive experience in the operation and analysis of nuclear reactor systems has led to two complementary approaches: best-estimate mechanistic calculations with a quantitative estimate of the uncertainty for assessing conformance with acceptance criteria based on technical limits and probabilistic risk analysis of the event sequences due to the probability of failure of safety systems. Both assess the safety of the reactor system; however, the emphasis, especially in the estimation of probabilities, is different in the two approaches. Yet both address the same concern: the safety of the reactor system. We discuss the formal relations that are necessary for a risk-consistent analysis of the safety of the nuclear reactor systems with respect to the two current approaches.

It was organized to calculate for an optionally determined period within the year. In the CLIMA, the dynamic analysis of heat transfer in buildings is conducted according to the adopted mathematical model by using a one-hour time increment. As a starting point for the calculation of non-stationary heat transfer in a building, the 'Room Thermal Balance Method' was adopted. It was organized for use according to the working conditions (holidays, and time of starting/stopping of heating/or refrigeration) and weather seasons (months of winter and summer) in Syria. The computer program was provided with the TMY Database, which was generated in a previous stage of this work. Moreover, it was also modified to be adapted for using the suggested mathematical models, which are derived in the previous stage of this work, as an alternative to the using of TMY database.

[Part 2 of 3] T2 - SINGLE NUCLEAR UNIT AT THE BELLEFONTE PLANT SITE, HOLLYWOOD, JACKSON COUNTY, ALABAMA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1974). AN - 756827455; 14330-100179_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The completion or construction and operation of a single 1,100 to 1,260 megawatt (MW) nuclear generating unit at the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant (BLN) site located in Jackson County, Alabama are proposed. The facility is on a 1,600-acre site adjacent to the Tennessee River and the two-unit nuclear generating plant was authorized for construction in 1974. By 1988, when the facilities were nearly fully constructed, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) decided to defer completion in response to lower-than-expected load forecasts for the region. In December 1994, the TVA announced that BLN would not be completed as a nuclear power plant without a partner and put any further construction activities on hold. Demand for electricity in the TVA power service area has grown at the average rate of 2.3 percent per year from 1990 to 2008. Although the 2008- 2009 economic recession has slowed load growth in the short term and adds uncertainty to the forecast of power needs, future power needs are not expected to change dramatically. TVAs medium forecast analysis of future demands for electricity from its power system has identified the need for approximately 2,000 MW of additional baseload capacity in the 2018-2020 time frame. Currently, there are two partially constructed Babcock and Wilcox pressurized light water reactors (B&W) with a rated capacity of about 1,200 MW each at the BLN site. TVA may choose to complete and operate either one of these partially constructed units, or construct and operate a new Westinghouse AP1000 advanced pressurized light water reactor (AP1000) using some of the existing infrastructure. Under any of the proposed alternatives, TVA would use licensing processes that are already underway. TVA currently holds a construction permit for the two B&W units and has applied for a combined (construction and operating) license for two AP1000 units. TVAs current proposal is to complete only one of these four previously proposed units. The considerable work that has been accomplished toward licensing the B&W and AP1000 technology would reduce the time and cost of bringing a single nuclear generating unit at BLN on line. This EIS supplements the original 1974 final EIS for BLN Units 1 and 2 and tiers from TVA's Energy Vision 2020 Integrated Resource Plan. Three generation alternatives and two transmission alternatives are evaluated in this final supplemental EIS. The generation alternatives include: a No Action Alternative (Alternative A); Alternative B, which would complete and operate a B&W pressurized light water reactor; and Alternative C which would complete and operate an AP1000 pressurized light water reactor. Transmission alternatives include a No Action Alternative and an Action Alternative. Under the Action Alternative, the 500-kilovolt (kV) switchyard and 500-kV transmission lines would be reactivated and other transmission lines would be refurbished. Alternative B in conjunction with the Action Alternative for transmission is the preferred option. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Completing a single nuclear unit at the BLN site would meet a substantial portion of TVAs future generating needs and would help meet the agencys goal of having 50 percent of its overall power supply from low or zero carbon-emitting sources by 2020. The single nuclear unit would provide a low-carbon- emitting power source at a significantly lower cost per installed kilowatt than other baseload power options. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Although air quality standards would not be exceeded under any of the alternatives, minor impacts would result from emissions. Noncombustible wastes would be disposed of at nearby municipal landfills. Storm water runoff, leaching from contaminated or disturbed areas, and various construction activities would have minor impacts on surface water. Dredging and towing barges would have adverse impacts to the pink mucket mussel.

More than 31 fuel rods are saved. The effects of the reduction of the fuel load in the core on both the reactor safety and performance, in relation to its use as a tool for Neutron Activation Analyses, are analyzed. The impact of the proposed changes on thermohydraulics are expected to be negligible. The dependence of both the initial excess reactivity and the H/U235 ratio on the fuel rod radius is calculated and discussed. Functions like the dependence of the IER on the clad thickness for this reactor are discussed and analyzed as well.

The calibration of a dosimeter is performed under, and pertains to, reference conditions. However, in most cases, dosimeters are used for clinical measurements under non-reference conditions. The performance, in terms of accuracy of dose measurements, of six commercial diagnostic radiology dosimeters was tested at reference calibration and at clinical non-reference conditions. The results showed that all dosimeters being tested exhibited limits of variation within the plus or minus 5% IEC limits. Depending on the detector's physical and operational properties, the dosimeters' energy dependence of response values varied from -4.7% to +4.2%. To address this variation of response, calibration at three radiation qualities (RQR 3, RQR 5, and RQR 9), at least, is recommended. Different irradiation conditions such as air kerma rate, x-ray tube design, x-ray system, and dosimeter operational modes affect the dosimeters' response by less than 3%. A dosimeter that complies with IEC standards and operates according to its specifications could be used at typical clinical irradiation conditions taking into account only corrections for the energy dependence of response. In this case, the error in dose accuracy is expected to be less than 3%.

This contribution aims at estimating aquifer vulnerability by applying the RISKE model in Banyas Catchment Area (BCA), Tartous Prefecture, west Syria. An additional objective is to demonstrate the combined use of the RISKE model and a geographical information system (GIS) as an effective method for groundwater pollution risk assessment. The RISKE model uses five environmental parameters (Rock of aquifer media, Infiltration, Soil media, Karst, and Epikarst) to characterize the hydro-geological setting and evaluate aquifer vulnerability. The elevated eastern and low western part of the study area was dominated by high vulnerability classes, while the middle part was characterized by moderate vulnerability classes. Based on the vulnerability analysis, it was found that 2% and 39% of BCA is under low and high vulnerability to groundwater contamination, respectively, while more than 52% and 5% of the area of BCA can be designated as an area of moderate and very high vulnerability to groundwater contamination, respectively. The GIS technique has provided an efficient environment for analyses and high capabilities of handling a large amount of spatial data.

12983250 AB - Branches of Kochia indica were hand-cut after 60, 90 and 120 days of planting (DAP) at 15 or 30 cm distance from the tip (cutting length). The plants were at a vegetative stage for 60 and 90 DAP, while, for 120 DAP, they were at flowering stage. The nutritive value of the experimental plant samples was evaluated by determination of the crude protein (CP), buffer soluble nitrogen (BS-N), buffer soluble non-protein nitrogen (BS-NPN) and cell wall constituents (neutral-detergent fiber; aNDF, acid-detergent fiber; ADF and lignin (sa)). In vitro digestible organic matter (IVDOM), metabolizable energy (ME), microbial nitrogen (MN) and biomass (MBM) production were also estimated in the experimental samples after their incubation with rumen fluid for 96 h in the absence or presence of polyethylene glycol. The characteristics of fermentation (initial gas production; a, gas production during incubation; b, potential gas production; a + b, fractional rate of gas production; c) were assessed using an in vitro incubation technique with rumen fluid. There was a negative effect of harvest time on all the studied nutritive parameters and fermentation characteristics. The values of CP, BS-N, BS-NPN, MN and MBM declined and concentrations of aNDF, ADF and lignin (sa) increased between early harvest time after 60 DAP and late harvest time after 120 DAP and between cutting length at 15 cm and 30 cm (P<0.05). IVDOM were positively correlated with BS-N and BS-NPN but negatively correlated with aNDF and ADF. Cutting treatments negatively affected all the studied nutritive parameters and fermentation rates. There were no differences in the values of IVDOM, ME, MN, MBM, fermentation characteristics and gas production over 96 h due to add of PEG (P<0.05). The greatest proportion of gas production occurred between 6 and 24 h of incubation. C values were negatively correlated with cell wall constituents but positively correlated with CP, BS-N, BS-NPN, MN and MBM. The amount of MN produced from 100 mg substrate amounted to 1.9 or 1.4 mg at early maturity stage and 1.1 or 0.8 mg at late stage for cutting lengths performed at 15 or 30 cm, respectively. Microbial nitrogen and MBM production were negatively correlated with cell wall constituents and gas production but positively correlated with CP, BS-N and BS-NPN. Results revealed that, the harvested branches of K. indica at the vegetative stage were better in terms of nutritional value than those harvested at flowering stage.

Understanding welding residual stress is important in the evaluation of why and how these defects occur, which in turn helps to determine the reliability of nuclear power plants. This paper presents analytical predictions of welding residual stress in the surge nozzle geometry identified at Wolf Creek. The analysis procedure in this paper includes not only the pass-by-pass welding steps, but also other essential fabrication steps of pressurizer surge nozzles. Detailed welding simulation analyses have been conducted to predict the magnitude of these stresses in the weld material. Case studies were carried out to investigate the change in the DM main weld stress fields resulting from different boundary conditions, material strength, weld sequencing, as well as simulation of the remaining piping system stiffness. A direct comparison of these analysis methodologies and results has been made in this paper. Weld residual stress results are compared directly to those calculated by the nuclear industry.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Thermal hydraulic analysis of Syrian MNSR research reactor using RELAP5/Mod3.2 code AN - 877570155; 13025531 AB - This paper presents the development and validation of a MNSR-RELAP5 model. MNSR is a 30kW, light-water moderated and cooled, beryllium-reflected, tank in pool type research reactor. A RELAP5 model was set up to simulate the entire MNSR system. The model represents all reactor components of primary and secondary loops with the corresponding neutronic and thermal hydraulic characteristics. Under the MNSR operation conditions of natural circulation, normal operation, step reactivity transients and reactivity insertion accidents are simulated. The RELAP5 model was validated by comparing measured and calculated data for the Syrian MNSR reactor. Comparisons include parameters of normal operation at constant power, step reactivity transient and the control rod withdrawal transient. Good agreement was obtained for core coolant inlet and outlet temperatures for operation at constant power, and for development of power level after reactivity insertion, coolant inlet temperature and coolant outlet temperature for the control rod withdrawal transient. As a result of this study, the developed RELAP5 model for Syrian MNSR is shown to be an appropriate model and could be used for other future thermal hydraulic studies.

The national energy chain was modelled covering all energy levels and conversion technologies. The results indicate that the primary energy will grow at annual average rate of 4.8% arriving 68Mtoe in 2030. The total installed electric capacity will be optimally expanded from 6885 to 19500MW in 2030. Furthermore, to ensure supply security the future national energy system will rely mainly upon oil and natural gas (NG) with limited contribution of renewables and nuclear to the end of study period. The share of NG will increase gradually up to 2020 and then retreat. Owing to the continuous decrease of oil production, oil export is expected to vanish in 2012 and the country will import about 63% of its primary energy demand in 2030. Thus, the expected long-term development of national energy sector indicates a hard challenge for the future national economy. The employing of sensitivity analysis clarifies the importance of wind turbines operation time and discount rate. The analysis proves that nuclear option is insensitive to overnight cost increase up to 85% of the reference case value.

The steam generator is a highly complex, non-linear and time-varying system and its parameters vary with operating conditions. Therefore, it seems that design of a suitable controller is a necessary step to enhance plant availability factor. In this paper, a data-driven controller approximated by set membership approach is presented for the water-level control of U-tube steam generators in nuclear power plants. This controller is capable of learning the control action principles from the data obtained using other methods of automatic or manual control. Simulation results of the approximated controller demonstrate its capability in regulating the water level under random disturbances and reference level changes.

AN - 756827106; 14246-100093_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of combined operating licenses for the construction and operation of two new nuclear power reactor units at the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (STP) site in Matagorda County, Texas is proposed. STP Nuclear Operating Company submitted an application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on September 20, 2007 for the proposed STP Units 3 and 4 which would be located 2,000 feet northwest of the existing STP Units 1 and 2. The 12,220-acre STP site is approximately 10 miles north of Matagorda Bay, 70 miles south-southwest of Houston, and 12 miles south-southwest of Bay City along the west bank of the Colorado River. Most of the site is within the Texas coastal management zone. The existing main cooling reservoir (MCR) occupies 7,000 acres of the STP site and 1,750 acres are currently occupied by Units 1 and 2 and associated facilities. The remainder of the site is undeveloped land or is used for agriculture and cattle grazing. Four transmission service providers currently serve the site and the existing 345-kilovolt (kV) switchyard currently has nine 345-kV transmission lines that connect it to the utility grid. The applicant's proposal is to build and operate two boiling water reactor steam electric systems using the U.S. advanced boiling water reactor design which is rated at 3,926 megawatts (MW) thermal, with a design gross electrical output of 1,356 MW electrical and a net output of 1,300 MW electrical. The reject heat from the unit to the environment, principally the atmosphere, is 2,626 MW thermal. Heat created in the reactor core is transferred to high-pressure and low-pressure turbines, which turns a generator creating electricity. Cooling water would be withdrawn from the north shore of the MCR through an intake structure located on the baffle dike; it would then circulate through the main condensers for proposed Units 3 and 4 after which it would return to the MCR through a shared discharge structure. Water lost from the MCR through ground seepage, evaporation, and release to the Colorado River would be replaced with water withdrawn from the Colorado River at the Reservoir Makeup Pumping Facility (RMPF) located to the east of the proposed units. Water would be released from the MCR to the Colorado River to maintain water quality in the MCR. Water returned to the Colorado River enters the Colorado River through the discharge structure located on the west bank of the river two miles downstream of the RMPF. All of these structures currently exist to support the operation of Units 1 and 2. The proposed new units would have a shared exclusion area boundary and a shared plant access road with the existing units. The vent stack for proposed Unit 3 would be the tallest new structure at 249 feet above grade, which is of similar elevation to the highest point of the existing units. Units 3 and 4 would rely on the MCR as the main condenser heat sink just as Units 1 and 2 do currently. However, the proposed new units would not rely on the 46-acre essential cooling pond as an ultimate heat sink in the event of an emergency; instead, Units 3 and 4 would rely on mechanical draft cooling towers. The two Unit 3 and 4 cooling towers would also be available as helper towers to provide for heat rejection to the atmosphere during normal operations. Blowdown from the cooling towers is returned to the MCR. To support four unit operations, the RMPF would be refurbished and modified within its existing footprint without any disturbances within the Colorado River. The RMPF would withdraw water through a 406-foot-long intake structure located parallel to the shoreline. The applicant has requested authorization to expand an existing barge slip on the Colorado River and to culvert and fill waters of the United States for the purpose of constructing a heavy haul road on the site. The power transmission system for the proposed Units 3 and 4 would not require new transmission lines or corridors, but a portion of the existing system would be upgraded. In addition to the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, this draft EIS addresses energy source alternatives, alternative sites, system design alternatives, and onsite alternatives to reduce impacts to aquatic resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would provide additional baseload electrical generation capacity for use in the owner's current markets within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas region and/or for potential sale on the wholesale market. An additional 2,400 jobs would be created. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction impacts would include stormwater runoff during the building phase, habitat loss and wildlife displacement from dredging and barge slip expansion, and noticeable impacts to traffic. Operational impacts would include increased risks of bird and bat collisions, wildlife avoidance due to noise, increased surface water use from the Colorado River, increased sediment load in stormwater, and increased frequency of discharge of MCR waters to the Colorado River. MCR discharge could cause physical scouring with adverse effects to aquatic species and habitat and the thermal plume could encourage growth of etiological agents.

In addition to the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, this draft EIS addresses energy source alternatives, alternative sites, system design alternatives, and onsite alternatives to reduce impacts to aquatic resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would provide additional baseload electrical generation capacity for use in the owner's current markets within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas region and/or for potential sale on the wholesale market. An additional 2,400 jobs would be created. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction impacts would include stormwater runoff during the building phase, habitat loss and wildlife displacement from dredging and barge slip expansion, and noticeable impacts to traffic. Operational impacts would include increased risks of bird and bat collisions, wildlife avoidance due to noise, increased surface water use from the Colorado River, increased sediment load in stormwater, and increased frequency of discharge of MCR waters to the Colorado River. MCR discharge could cause physical scouring with adverse effects to aquatic species and habitat and the thermal plume could encourage growth of etiological agents. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

AN - 756826742; 14247-100094_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a combined operating license for the construction and operation of a new nuclear reactor and associated turbine generation facilities at the North Anna Power Station (NAPS) near Mineral, Virginia is proposed. On November 27, 2007, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued an Early Site Permit (ESP-003; NUREG-1811) to Dominion Nuclear North Anna, LLC certifying the site as suitable for construction and operation of one or more new nuclear units. On the same date, the applicant, Dominion Nuclear North Anna, LLC, submitted an application for a combined license for the NAPS ESP site that would allow the construction of one or more nuclear power facilities. Dominion Virginia Power and Old Dominion Electric Cooperative currently own NAPS as tenants in common, including the existing units 1 and 2 and an independent spent fuel storage installation. The common tenants, who are also the licensed operators of the units, now propose, via the applicant, to own and operate the new Unit 3 as a component of the same ownership arrangement created for units 1 and 2. The 1,043-acre NAPS site is situated on a peninsula on the southern shore of Lake Anna, five miles upstream of the Lake Anna Dam. The Unit 3 site lies adjacent to the existing units and wholly within the existing NAPS site, which is located in Louisa County, approximately six miles northeast of Mineral. Unit 3 would employ a 4,500-megawatt-thermal (MW(t)) boiling water reactor fueled by slightly enriched uranium (i.e., a five percent maximum concentration of uranium-235) and operate at an estimated gross electrical power output of approximately 1,605 MW-electric (MW(e)) and an estimated net electrical power output of between 1,425 MW(e) and 1,510 MW(e). The unit would be cooled by a closed-cycle, combination wet and dry cooling tower system. Makeup water for the circulating system and service water cooling system would be withdrawn from Lake Anna, and blowdown water from the cooling systems would be discharged to the existing plant discharge canal for return to the lake. The facility would use liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. The additional power generated by the NAPS would require the construction of a new 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line and expansion of the existing station switchyard to the north to accommodate additional 230-kV electrical bays. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Issuance of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers, particularly with respect to base-load generating capacity. The new unit and the NAPS site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The consumption of Lake Anna water by the NAPS would increase, and the release of cooling tower blowdown back into the lake would increase the extent of the thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace natural vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat within the affected corridors.

[Part 3 of 4] T2 - SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION UNITS 3 AND 4, APPLICATION FOR COMBINED LICENSES, MATAGORDA COUNTY, TEXAS. AN - 756826708; 14246-100093_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of combined operating licenses for the construction and operation of two new nuclear power reactor units at the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (STP) site in Matagorda County, Texas is proposed. STP Nuclear Operating Company submitted an application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on September 20, 2007 for the proposed STP Units 3 and 4 which would be located 2,000 feet northwest of the existing STP Units 1 and 2. The 12,220-acre STP site is approximately 10 miles north of Matagorda Bay, 70 miles south-southwest of Houston, and 12 miles south-southwest of Bay City along the west bank of the Colorado River. Most of the site is within the Texas coastal management zone. The existing main cooling reservoir (MCR) occupies 7,000 acres of the STP site and 1,750 acres are currently occupied by Units 1 and 2 and associated facilities. The remainder of the site is undeveloped land or is used for agriculture and cattle grazing. Four transmission service providers currently serve the site and the existing 345-kilovolt (kV) switchyard currently has nine 345-kV transmission lines that connect it to the utility grid. The applicant's proposal is to build and operate two boiling water reactor steam electric systems using the U.S. advanced boiling water reactor design which is rated at 3,926 megawatts (MW) thermal, with a design gross electrical output of 1,356 MW electrical and a net output of 1,300 MW electrical. The reject heat from the unit to the environment, principally the atmosphere, is 2,626 MW thermal. Heat created in the reactor core is transferred to high-pressure and low-pressure turbines, which turns a generator creating electricity. Cooling water would be withdrawn from the north shore of the MCR through an intake structure located on the baffle dike; it would then circulate through the main condensers for proposed Units 3 and 4 after which it would return to the MCR through a shared discharge structure. Water lost from the MCR through ground seepage, evaporation, and release to the Colorado River would be replaced with water withdrawn from the Colorado River at the Reservoir Makeup Pumping Facility (RMPF) located to the east of the proposed units. Water would be released from the MCR to the Colorado River to maintain water quality in the MCR. Water returned to the Colorado River enters the Colorado River through the discharge structure located on the west bank of the river two miles downstream of the RMPF. All of these structures currently exist to support the operation of Units 1 and 2. The proposed new units would have a shared exclusion area boundary and a shared plant access road with the existing units. The vent stack for proposed Unit 3 would be the tallest new structure at 249 feet above grade, which is of similar elevation to the highest point of the existing units. Units 3 and 4 would rely on the MCR as the main condenser heat sink just as Units 1 and 2 do currently. However, the proposed new units would not rely on the 46-acre essential cooling pond as an ultimate heat sink in the event of an emergency; instead, Units 3 and 4 would rely on mechanical draft cooling towers. The two Unit 3 and 4 cooling towers would also be available as helper towers to provide for heat rejection to the atmosphere during normal operations. Blowdown from the cooling towers is returned to the MCR. To support four unit operations, the RMPF would be refurbished and modified within its existing footprint without any disturbances within the Colorado River. The RMPF would withdraw water through a 406-foot-long intake structure located parallel to the shoreline. The applicant has requested authorization to expand an existing barge slip on the Colorado River and to culvert and fill waters of the United States for the purpose of constructing a heavy haul road on the site. The power transmission system for the proposed Units 3 and 4 would not require new transmission lines or corridors, but a portion of the existing system would be upgraded.

Preparation date: March 19, 2010 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION UNITS 3 AND 4, APPLICATION FOR COMBINED LICENSES, MATAGORDA COUNTY, TEXAS. AN - 754908148; 14246 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of combined operating licenses for the construction and operation of two new nuclear power reactor units at the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (STP) site in Matagorda County, Texas is proposed. STP Nuclear Operating Company submitted an application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on September 20, 2007 for the proposed STP Units 3 and 4 which would be located 2,000 feet northwest of the existing STP Units 1 and 2. The 12,220-acre STP site is approximately 10 miles north of Matagorda Bay, 70 miles south-southwest of Houston, and 12 miles south-southwest of Bay City along the west bank of the Colorado River. Most of the site is within the Texas coastal management zone. The existing main cooling reservoir (MCR) occupies 7,000 acres of the STP site and 1,750 acres are currently occupied by Units 1 and 2 and associated facilities. The remainder of the site is undeveloped land or is used for agriculture and cattle grazing. Four transmission service providers currently serve the site and the existing 345-kilovolt (kV) switchyard currently has nine 345-kV transmission lines that connect it to the utility grid. The applicant's proposal is to build and operate two boiling water reactor steam electric systems using the U.S. advanced boiling water reactor design which is rated at 3,926 megawatts (MW) thermal, with a design gross electrical output of 1,356 MW electrical and a net output of 1,300 MW electrical. The reject heat from the unit to the environment, principally the atmosphere, is 2,626 MW thermal. Heat created in the reactor core is transferred to high-pressure and low-pressure turbines, which turns a generator creating electricity. Cooling water would be withdrawn from the north shore of the MCR through an intake structure located on the baffle dike; it would then circulate through the main condensers for proposed Units 3 and 4 after which it would return to the MCR through a shared discharge structure. Water lost from the MCR through ground seepage, evaporation, and release to the Colorado River would be replaced with water withdrawn from the Colorado River at the Reservoir Makeup Pumping Facility (RMPF) located to the east of the proposed units. Water would be released from the MCR to the Colorado River to maintain water quality in the MCR. Water returned to the Colorado River enters the Colorado River through the discharge structure located on the west bank of the river two miles downstream of the RMPF. All of these structures currently exist to support the operation of Units 1 and 2. The proposed new units would have a shared exclusion area boundary and a shared plant access road with the existing units. The vent stack for proposed Unit 3 would be the tallest new structure at 249 feet above grade, which is of similar elevation to the highest point of the existing units. Units 3 and 4 would rely on the MCR as the main condenser heat sink just as Units 1 and 2 do currently. However, the proposed new units would not rely on the 46-acre essential cooling pond as an ultimate heat sink in the event of an emergency; instead, Units 3 and 4 would rely on mechanical draft cooling towers. The two Unit 3 and 4 cooling towers would also be available as helper towers to provide for heat rejection to the atmosphere during normal operations. Blowdown from the cooling towers is returned to the MCR. To support four unit operations, the RMPF would be refurbished and modified within its existing footprint without any disturbances within the Colorado River. The RMPF would withdraw water through a 406-foot-long intake structure located parallel to the shoreline. The applicant has requested authorization to expand an existing barge slip on the Colorado River and to culvert and fill waters of the United States for the purpose of constructing a heavy haul road on the site. The power transmission system for the proposed Units 3 and 4 would not require new transmission lines or corridors, but a portion of the existing system would be upgraded. In addition to the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, this draft EIS addresses energy source alternatives, alternative sites, system design alternatives, and onsite alternatives to reduce impacts to aquatic resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would provide additional baseload electrical generation capacity for use in the owner's current markets within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas region and/or for potential sale on the wholesale market. An additional 2,400 jobs would be created. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction impacts would include stormwater runoff during the building phase, habitat loss and wildlife displacement from dredging and barge slip expansion, and noticeable impacts to traffic. Operational impacts would include increased risks of bird and bat collisions, wildlife avoidance due to noise, increased surface water use from the Colorado River, increased sediment load in stormwater, and increased frequency of discharge of MCR waters to the Colorado River. MCR discharge could cause physical scouring with adverse effects to aquatic species and habitat and the thermal plume could encourage growth of etiological agents.

Five major hydrochemical facies were identified in the various rocks in the study area. They are calcium-magnesium-bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride and calcium chloride waters and mixed or non dominant water type. Sodium chloride and calcium chloride waters dominate aquifers of the Cape Coast granitoid complex whereas calcium-magnesium-bicarbonate is the dominant hydrochemical facies in the Lower Birimian aquifers. The most probable geochemical process responsible for the evolution of these hydrochemical facies is dissolution of minerals in the various rock types. Stable isotope composition of the groundwaters established that the recharge to the groundwater system is derived from rainfall.

SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION UNITS 2 AND 3, APPLICATION FOR COMBINED LICENSES, FAIRFIELD COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA. AN - 756827449; 14295-100144_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of combined operating licenses for the construction and operation of two new nuclear power reactor units at the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station (VCSNS) in Fairfield County, South Carolina is proposed. South Carolina Electric and Gas (SCE&G), acting for itself and for Santee Cooper (the State owned electric and water utility, formally called the South Carolina Public Service Authority) submitted an application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on March 27, 2008 for the proposed VCSNS Units 2 and 3 which would be located approximately one mile south of the existing Unit 1. The VCSNS site currently contains one pressurized light water reactor and associated facilities located on the southern shore of the Monticello Reservoir in a sparsely populated, largely rural area 26 miles southeast of Columbia. The existing nuclear unit and auxiliary facilities occupy 492 acres with another 784 acres extending into the reservoir. Within a six-mile radius of the site are the towns of Jenkinsville, Peak, and Pomona. The applicant's proposal is to build and operate two Westinghouse AP1000 reactor steam electric generating systems. Each reactor would connect to two steam generators that transfer heat from the reactor core, converting feed water to steam that drives high-pressure and low-pressure turbines, thereby creating electricity. The AP1000 design has a thermal power of 3400 megawatts (MW) thermal, with a design gross-electrical output of 1200 MW electrical. New facilities and would include the Units 2 and 3 power blocks, cooling towers, switchyard, discharge structures and blowdown lines, the proposed independent spent-fuel storage installation. The addition of the units would require six new 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines and some existing lines would require upgrading. During the operation of proposed VCSNS Units 2 and 3, makeup water for the circulating-water system would be obtained from the Monticello Reservoir and from withdrawals and exchanges with the Broad River/Parr Reservoir. The intake structure for Units 2 and 3 would be located on the southern shore of Monticello Reservoir. Construction and preconstruction activities would span a total of 123 months, with 30 months dedicated to site clearing and preparation, and 93 months for building Units 2 and 3. The building of Units 2 and 3 would be staggered by two years, for a total construction and preconstruction period of 10.25 years. SCE&G estimates that the peak onsite workforce for proposed VCSNS Units 2 and 3 during construction and preconstruction activities would occur during 2013 and during 2015 reaching a total of up to 3600 workers. In addition to the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, this draft EIS considers building and operation of new reactors at alternative sites. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would provide additional baseload electrical generation capacity by 2016 and 2019 within the service areas of and Santee Cooper. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed 174 miles of new or expanded transmission-line would establish an estimated 1,916 acres of new right-of-way subjecting a total of 220 acres of wetlands to land-clearing impacts. Additional nonforested wetlands are also present within the proposed new transmission-line right-of-way areas. Some wildlife would perish or be displaced during clearing of new transmission-line corridors, and, as a consequence of habitat loss and fragmentation, competition for remaining resources could increase. The installation of two water-intake structures on the Monticello Reservoir may affect aquatic biota. Dredging activities may temporarily increase turbidity, siltation, and noise. Temporary impacts on local ambient air quality could occur. Transmission lines would alter the visual landscape.

AN - 756827213; 14296-100145_0004 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a combined operating license for the construction and operation of a new nuclear power reactor unit at the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP) site in Calvert County, Maryland is proposed. Calvert Cliffs 3 Nuclear Project, LLC and UniStar Nuclear Operating Services, LLC (collectively referred to as UniStar) applied to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the license for the proposed CCNPP Unit 3 adjacent to the existing Units 1 and 2 on a site near Lusby. The 2,070-acre site on the Calvert Peninsula is situated on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, 40 miles southeast of Washington, D.C. The existing two pressurized water reactors (PWRs), associated facilities, a barge slip, and onsite transmission lines occupy 331 acres. The location for proposed Unit 3 is south of CCNPP Units 1 and 2, in the vicinity of the former Camp Conoy. Unit 3 would have a separate protected area and plant access road. The Unit 3 reactor building would be surrounded by the fuel pool building, four safeguard buildings, two emergency diesel generator buildings, the reactor auxiliary building, the radioactive waste processing building, and the access building. The vent stack for Unit 3 would be the tallest new structure at approximately 211 feet above grade or about seven feet above the reactor building. Unlike existing CCNPP Units 1 and 2, which use once-through cooling systems, the Unit 3 design would consist of a closed-cycle cooling system with a single, circular, mechanical draft cooling tower. At an approximate height of 164 feet, this 528-foot diameter tower (at the base) would be the second largest structure on the site and is to be outfitted with plume abatement to minimize visible water vapor plume. Unit 3 buildings would be built of concrete. UniStar would utilize the Areva NP Inc. Evolutionary Power Reactor design and the proposed four-loop PWR is rated at 4590 megawatts (MW) thermal, with a design gross-electrical output of 1710 MW electrical and a net output of 1562 MW electrical. During accidents, makeup water for the essential service water system would be supplied from the Chesapeake Bay through a safety-related ultimate heat sink intake structure. In addition to the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, this draft EIS considers energy source alternatives, building and operation of new reactors at alternative sites, and system design alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would provide additional large baseload electrical generation capacity within Maryland and avoid rolling blackouts projected to occur as soon as 2011. The employment of a large workforce for up to 86 months would have positive economic impacts on the surrounding region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction would disturb 460 acres and convert 320 acres to structures, pavement, or intensively maintained ground. Permanent effects would occur to 7.9 acres of forested nontidal wetlands, 1.2 acres of emergent nontidal wetlands, 2.6 acres of nontidal open water, 8,350 feet of streambed, and 5.7 acres of tidal open waters. Building the proposed Unit 3 would impact several surface water bodies and some of the aquifers underlying the site. Land clearing would result in lost or decreased habitat for migratory birds. Dredging and the building of the intake and discharge structures would affect aquatic resources in Chesapeake Bay.

[Part 1 of 4] T2 - VIRGIL C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION UNITS 2 AND 3, APPLICATION FOR COMBINED LICENSES, FAIRFIELD COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA. AN - 756827151; 14295-100144_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of combined operating licenses for the construction and operation of two new nuclear power reactor units at the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station (VCSNS) in Fairfield County, South Carolina is proposed. South Carolina Electric and Gas (SCE&G), acting for itself and for Santee Cooper (the State owned electric and water utility, formally called the South Carolina Public Service Authority) submitted an application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on March 27, 2008 for the proposed VCSNS Units 2 and 3 which would be located approximately one mile south of the existing Unit 1. The VCSNS site currently contains one pressurized light water reactor and associated facilities located on the southern shore of the Monticello Reservoir in a sparsely populated, largely rural area 26 miles southeast of Columbia. The existing nuclear unit and auxiliary facilities occupy 492 acres with another 784 acres extending into the reservoir. Within a six-mile radius of the site are the towns of Jenkinsville, Peak, and Pomona. The applicant's proposal is to build and operate two Westinghouse AP1000 reactor steam electric generating systems. Each reactor would connect to two steam generators that transfer heat from the reactor core, converting feed water to steam that drives high-pressure and low-pressure turbines, thereby creating electricity. The AP1000 design has a thermal power of 3400 megawatts (MW) thermal, with a design gross-electrical output of 1200 MW electrical. New facilities and would include the Units 2 and 3 power blocks, cooling towers, switchyard, discharge structures and blowdown lines, the proposed independent spent-fuel storage installation. The addition of the units would require six new 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines and some existing lines would require upgrading. During the operation of proposed VCSNS Units 2 and 3, makeup water for the circulating-water system would be obtained from the Monticello Reservoir and from withdrawals and exchanges with the Broad River/Parr Reservoir. The intake structure for Units 2 and 3 would be located on the southern shore of Monticello Reservoir. Construction and preconstruction activities would span a total of 123 months, with 30 months dedicated to site clearing and preparation, and 93 months for building Units 2 and 3. The building of Units 2 and 3 would be staggered by two years, for a total construction and preconstruction period of 10.25 years. SCE&G estimates that the peak onsite workforce for proposed VCSNS Units 2 and 3 during construction and preconstruction activities would occur during 2013 and during 2015 reaching a total of up to 3600 workers. In addition to the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, this draft EIS considers building and operation of new reactors at alternative sites. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would provide additional baseload electrical generation capacity by 2016 and 2019 within the service areas of and Santee Cooper. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed 174 miles of new or expanded transmission-line would establish an estimated 1,916 acres of new right-of-way subjecting a total of 220 acres of wetlands to land-clearing impacts. Additional nonforested wetlands are also present within the proposed new transmission-line right-of-way areas. Some wildlife would perish or be displaced during clearing of new transmission-line corridors, and, as a consequence of habitat loss and fragmentation, competition for remaining resources could increase. The installation of two water-intake structures on the Monticello Reservoir may affect aquatic biota. Dredging activities may temporarily increase turbidity, siltation, and noise. Temporary impacts on local ambient air quality could occur. Transmission lines would alter the visual landscape.

Chemical analysis of body fluids, noninvasively, is a novel and exciting area of personalized wearable healthcare systems. BIOTEX was an EU-funded project that aimed to develop textile sensors to measure physiological parameters and the chemical composition of body fluids, with a particular interest in sweat. A wearable sensing system has been developed that integrates a textile-based fluid handling system for sample collection and transport with a number of sensors including sodium, conductivity, and pH sensors. Sensors for sweat rate, ECG, respiration, and blood oxygenation were also developed. For the first time, it has been possible to monitor a number of physiological parameters together with sweat composition in real time. This has been carried out via a network of wearable sensors distributed around the body of a subject user. This has huge implications for the field of sports and human performance and opens a whole new field of research in the clinical setting.

SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION UNITS 2 AND 3, APPLICATION FOR COMBINED LICENSES, FAIRFIELD COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA. AN - 16373964; 14295 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of combined operating licenses for the construction and operation of two new nuclear power reactor units at the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station (VCSNS) in Fairfield County, South Carolina is proposed. South Carolina Electric and Gas (SCE&G), acting for itself and for Santee Cooper (the State owned electric and water utility, formally called the South Carolina Public Service Authority) submitted an application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on March 27, 2008 for the proposed VCSNS Units 2 and 3 which would be located approximately one mile south of the existing Unit 1. The VCSNS site currently contains one pressurized light water reactor and associated facilities located on the southern shore of the Monticello Reservoir in a sparsely populated, largely rural area 26 miles southeast of Columbia. The existing nuclear unit and auxiliary facilities occupy 492 acres with another 784 acres extending into the reservoir. Within a six-mile radius of the site are the towns of Jenkinsville, Peak, and Pomona. The applicant's proposal is to build and operate two Westinghouse AP1000 reactor steam electric generating systems. Each reactor would connect to two steam generators that transfer heat from the reactor core, converting feed water to steam that drives high-pressure and low-pressure turbines, thereby creating electricity. The AP1000 design has a thermal power of 3400 megawatts (MW) thermal, with a design gross-electrical output of 1200 MW electrical. New facilities and would include the Units 2 and 3 power blocks, cooling towers, switchyard, discharge structures and blowdown lines, the proposed independent spent-fuel storage installation. The addition of the units would require six new 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines and some existing lines would require upgrading. During the operation of proposed VCSNS Units 2 and 3, makeup water for the circulating-water system would be obtained from the Monticello Reservoir and from withdrawals and exchanges with the Broad River/Parr Reservoir. The intake structure for Units 2 and 3 would be located on the southern shore of Monticello Reservoir. Construction and preconstruction activities would span a total of 123 months, with 30 months dedicated to site clearing and preparation, and 93 months for building Units 2 and 3. The building of Units 2 and 3 would be staggered by two years, for a total construction and preconstruction period of 10.25 years. SCE&G estimates that the peak onsite workforce for proposed VCSNS Units 2 and 3 during construction and preconstruction activities would occur during 2013 and during 2015 reaching a total of up to 3600 workers. In addition to the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, this draft EIS considers building and operation of new reactors at alternative sites. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would provide additional baseload electrical generation capacity by 2016 and 2019 within the service areas of and Santee Cooper. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed 174 miles of new or expanded transmission-line would establish an estimated 1,916 acres of new right-of-way subjecting a total of 220 acres of wetlands to land-clearing impacts. Additional nonforested wetlands are also present within the proposed new transmission-line right-of-way areas. Some wildlife would perish or be displaced during clearing of new transmission-line corridors, and, as a consequence of habitat loss and fragmentation, competition for remaining resources could increase. The installation of two water-intake structures on the Monticello Reservoir may affect aquatic biota. Dredging activities may temporarily increase turbidity, siltation, and noise. Temporary impacts on local ambient air quality could occur. Transmission lines would alter the visual landscape.

Preparation date: March , 2010 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT UNIT 3, APPLICATION FOR COMBINED LICENSE, CALVERT COUNTY, MARYLAND. AN - 15227196; 14296 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a combined operating license for the construction and operation of a new nuclear power reactor unit at the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP) site in Calvert County, Maryland is proposed. Calvert Cliffs 3 Nuclear Project, LLC and UniStar Nuclear Operating Services, LLC (collectively referred to as UniStar) applied to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the license for the proposed CCNPP Unit 3 adjacent to the existing Units 1 and 2 on a site near Lusby. The 2,070-acre site on the Calvert Peninsula is situated on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, 40 miles southeast of Washington, D.C. The existing two pressurized water reactors (PWRs), associated facilities, a barge slip, and onsite transmission lines occupy 331 acres. The location for proposed Unit 3 is south of CCNPP Units 1 and 2, in the vicinity of the former Camp Conoy. Unit 3 would have a separate protected area and plant access road. The Unit 3 reactor building would be surrounded by the fuel pool building, four safeguard buildings, two emergency diesel generator buildings, the reactor auxiliary building, the radioactive waste processing building, and the access building. The vent stack for Unit 3 would be the tallest new structure at approximately 211 feet above grade or about seven feet above the reactor building. Unlike existing CCNPP Units 1 and 2, which use once-through cooling systems, the Unit 3 design would consist of a closed-cycle cooling system with a single, circular, mechanical draft cooling tower. At an approximate height of 164 feet, this 528-foot diameter tower (at the base) would be the second largest structure on the site and is to be outfitted with plume abatement to minimize visible water vapor plume. Unit 3 buildings would be built of concrete. UniStar would utilize the Areva NP Inc. Evolutionary Power Reactor design and the proposed four-loop PWR is rated at 4590 megawatts (MW) thermal, with a design gross-electrical output of 1710 MW electrical and a net output of 1562 MW electrical. During accidents, makeup water for the essential service water system would be supplied from the Chesapeake Bay through a safety-related ultimate heat sink intake structure. In addition to the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, this draft EIS considers energy source alternatives, building and operation of new reactors at alternative sites, and system design alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would provide additional large baseload electrical generation capacity within Maryland and avoid rolling blackouts projected to occur as soon as 2011. The employment of a large workforce for up to 86 months would have positive economic impacts on the surrounding region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction would disturb 460 acres and convert 320 acres to structures, pavement, or intensively maintained ground. Permanent effects would occur to 7.9 acres of forested nontidal wetlands, 1.2 acres of emergent nontidal wetlands, 2.6 acres of nontidal open water, 8,350 feet of streambed, and 5.7 acres of tidal open waters. Building the proposed Unit 3 would impact several surface water bodies and some of the aquifers underlying the site. Land clearing would result in lost or decreased habitat for migratory birds. Dredging and the building of the intake and discharge structures would affect aquatic resources in Chesapeake Bay.

This was achieved by applying an appropriate methodology essentially based on morphotectonic mapping and integrated geophysical surveys consisting of electrical resistivity profiling, vertical electrical sounding and self-potential. The integrated interpretation of the acquired morphotectonic and geophysical data allowed the detection of subsurface deformed structures, either underlying the Qastoon Dam lake floor, or close to it. It is believed that these active structures were developed through the ongoing active tectonic processes occurring in the Northern Arabian plate. The tectonic survey proved that the N66.5 degrees E striking Wadi Al Mashta fault, extending beneath the Qastoon Dam lake floor, is one of the youngest active structures, and that the intersection of the fault with the Qastoon Dam prism is a water-leaking point. Dam supporting measures, continuous monitoring and precautious disaster management are therefore recommended to be urgently adopted and practiced.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: COOPER NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 1, NEMAHA COUNTY, NEBRASKA (FORTY-FIRST DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 756827041; 14184-100053_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Cooper Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (CNS-1), in Nemaha County, Nebraska is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 41st supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Nebraska Public Power District, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to CNS-1 in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, CNS-1 would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is January 18, 2014. The power station, which is located within a 1,359-acre site 2.25 miles southeast of Brownsville and 60 miles southeast of Lincoln on the western shore of the Missouri River, consists of a single-unit boiling water reactor with a nuclear steam supply system supplied by General Electric and a turbine generator set supplied by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The unit is rated at 2,419 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 830 MW-electric and uses a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Missouri River. The reactor, which was placed in service in 1974, is housed in a reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four transmissions are considered in scope for license renewal. Three of the lines connect CNS-1 to the regional power grid via 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines and a fourth line connects the plant to the switchyard. 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 were coal-fired generation, natural gas combined-cycle generation, and as part of a combination alternative, conservation, natural gas-fired capacity, and wind power. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the unit would continue to withdraw process water from the Missouri River and deliver makeup water back to the river resulting in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Undiscovered historic and archaeological resources could be deeply buried on plant property.

AN - 16390063; 14184 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Cooper Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (CNS-1), in Nemaha County, Nebraska is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 41st supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Nebraska Public Power District, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to CNS-1 in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, CNS-1 would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is January 18, 2014. The power station, which is located within a 1,359-acre site 2.25 miles southeast of Brownsville and 60 miles southeast of Lincoln on the western shore of the Missouri River, consists of a single-unit boiling water reactor with a nuclear steam supply system supplied by General Electric and a turbine generator set supplied by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The unit is rated at 2,419 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 830 MW-electric and uses a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Missouri River. The reactor, which was placed in service in 1974, is housed in a reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four transmissions are considered in scope for license renewal. Three of the lines connect CNS-1 to the regional power grid via 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines and a fourth line connects the plant to the switchyard. 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 were coal-fired generation, natural gas combined-cycle generation, and as part of a combination alternative, conservation, natural gas-fired capacity, and wind power. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the unit would continue to withdraw process water from the Missouri River and deliver makeup water back to the river resulting in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Undiscovered historic and archaeological resources could be deeply buried on plant property. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

In this study, the potential for this antigen to function as vaccine against B. melitensis 16 M infection in BALB/c mice has been analyzed, and the humoral and cellular immune responses induced have been also characterized. Mice were injected intraperitoneally with live Escherichia coli alone or with that which express Brucella P39, two times at 4 weeks intervals. The live E. coli BL21 (DE3) pEt15b-p39 vaccine elicited a T-cell-proliferative response and also induced a gamma interferon production upon re-stimulation with either the bacterial extract or P39 as a specific antigen. Also the live E. coli BL21 (DE3) pEt15b-p39 vaccine has been found to induce a strong humoral response (IgG1 and IgG2a). Compared to the saline-inoculated control, vaccination of mice with E. coli BL21pEt15b-p39 at 3 weeks prior to the challenge infection, significantly reduced the number of strain 16 M bacteria in spleens at 4 and 8 weeks post-challenge infection in all vaccinated mice (p < 0.001).

If the operating license is not renewed, DAEC would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is February 21, 2014. The DAEC is located within a 500-acre site in a largely rural area two miles north-northeast of the town of Palo and 3 miles east of the Benton County line on the western bank of a north-south reach of the Cedar River. The nuclear reactor is a single General Electric boiling water reactor rated at 1,912 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 610 MW-electric. Two mechanical draft cooling towers are used, drawing water from the Cedar River. Water used in the reactor and most other plant systems is piped from the site's well water supply. The primary containment for the unit consists of a drywell, a steel structure that encloses the reactor vessel and related piping; a pressure suppression chamber containing a large volume of water; and a vent system that connects the drywell to the suppression chamber.

A total of 82 soil gas radon sampling points were measured, using direct active method, over an area of 300 x 300 m which almost covers the entire surface of the reservoir basin. The results revealed a reasonable correlation between the geometric pattern of radon anomalies and the probable orientation of some underlying tectonic lineaments. Abnormal radon values, with peak signals of about 2-5 times higher than the background level, led to the detection of two probable fractured zones, denoted as F sub(1) and F sub(2). The data analysis suggests that the leakage of water from Afamia B dam almost runs vertically downwards along N60E trending fault zone F sub(2). Such a fault is very likely extending down within the Neogene formation to reach the permeable karstic carbonate rocks of Cretaceous at depth, forming large conduits through which the water of the reservoir is possibly drained off. This suggestion was in agreement with the general direction of the groundwater flow in the study area which indicates clearly that the supposed fractured zone F sub(2) may represent a catchment area for groundwater, and thereby it may constitute the most important structural element concerning the leakage problem of Afamia B reservoir.

AN - 733927358; 19288069 AB - The removal of metal ions from aqueous solutions by biosorption plays an important role in water pollution control. In this study, dried leaves and branches of poplar trees were studied for removing some toxic elements (cadmium, lead, and uranium) from aqueous solutions. The equilibrium experiments were systematically carried out in a batch process, covering various process parameters that include agitation time, adsorbent size and dosage, initial cadmium, lead and uranium concentration, and pH of the aqueous solution. Adsorption behavior was found to follow Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. The results have shown that both dried leaves and branches can be effectively used for removing uranium, while only branches were found to remove lead and cadmium completely from the aqueous solution. The maximum biosorption capacity of leaves for uranium was found to be 2.3 mg g(-1) and 1.7 mg g(-1) and 2.1 mg g(-1) for lead and cadmium on branches, respectively. In addition, the studied biomass materials were used in removing lead and cadmium from contaminated water and the method was found to be effective.

The ore, which was taken from the Ahafo project site of Newmont Ghana Gold Ltd., was fractionated into 14 grain-size fractions using state-of-the-art analytical sieve machine. The minimum sieve mesh size used was 36 km and grains >2000 km were not considered for analysis. Result of the sieving was analysed with easysieve[registered] software. The<36 km subfraction was found to be the optimum, hosting bulk of all three elements. Arsenic was found to be highly concentrated in<36-100 km size fractions and erratically distributed in from 150 km fraction and above. For gold, with the exception of the subfraction <36 km which had exceptionally high concentration, the element was found to be approximately equally distributed in all the size fractions but slightly "played out" in 150-400 km size fractions. Antimony occurrence in the sample was relatively high in <36 km size fraction followed by 600, 800, 400 and 36 km size fractions in that order. Gold content in the sample was comparatively far greater than arsenic and antimony; this is indicative of level of gold mineralization in the concession where the sample ore was taken. The concentration of gold in the composite sample was in the range 564-8420 ppm as compared to 14.33-186.92 ppm for arsenic and 1.09-9.48 ppm for antimony. Elemental concentrations were correlated with each other and with grain-size fractions and the relationships between these descriptive parameters were established.

The obtained results indicate that the environmental impacts can add considerable external cost to the typical generation cost. The estimated externalities vary between 2.5 and 0.07 US-cents per generated kWh for heavy fuel oil and NG fired power plants respectively. For the fuel oil fired power plants the resulting external cost, arise mainly from Sulphates impact, amounts to about 25% of the present generation costs. These results indicate the advantage of NG fired power plants as clean generation technology and the necessity of supplying oil fired power plants with SO sub(2) emission reduction technologies.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: KEWAUNEE POWER STATION, KEWAUNEE COUNTY, WISCONSIN (FORTIETH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 756826947; 14158-100031_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) in Kewaunee County, Wisconsin is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 40th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc., nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is December 21, 2013. The power station, which is located within a 908-acre site on the west-central shore of Lake Michigan 30 miles east-southeast of Green Bay and 8 miles south of the city of Kewaunee, is a single-unit, two-loop closed cycle pressurized-water reactor with a turbine-generator. The reactor and turbine-generator were furnished by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. KPS uses a once-through heat dissipation system that withdraws water from, and discharges to, Lake Michigan. The unit is rated at 1,722 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 590 MW-electric. The reactor is housed in a double containment consisting of a cylindrical steel shell surrounded by a reinforced concrete cylindrical shield building. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. KPS is connected to the regional grid via two 138-kilovolt (kV) and two 345-kV transmission lines. 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 were coal-fired generation, natural gas combined-cycle generation, and as part of a combination alternative, conservation/efficiency, wood-fired generation, and wind power. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the unit would continue to withdraw process water from Lake Michigan and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace natural vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat within the affected corridors.

[Part 11 of 12] T2 - DECOMMISSIONING AND/OR LONG-TERM STEWARDSHIP AT THE WEST VALLEY DEMONSTRATION PROJECT AND WESTERN NEW YORK NUCLEAR SERVICE CENTER, ERIE AND CATTARAUGUS COUNTIES, NEW YORK. AN - 756827077; 14146-100019_0011 AB - PURPOSE: The decommissioning and long-term stewardship of the West Valley Demonstration Project and the Western New York Nuclear Service Center (WNYNSC), Erie and Cattaraugus Counties, New York are proposed. The WNYNSC is a 3,338-acre site located 30 miles southeast of Buffalo owned by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (ERDA). The 167-acre West Valley Demonstration Project premises, a site licensed by the Atomic Energy Commission in 1966, was the home of the only operational commercial nuclear fuel reprocessing facility in the United States. In operation from 1966 to 1972, the facility produced 660,430 gallons of liquid high-level radioactive waste. The demonstration project completed high-level radioactive waste vitrification (solidification in a glass matrix) in 2002; 275 canisters of glass waste were produced and are stored at the site pending offsite disposal. The WNYNSC also contains two radioactive waste disposal areas: a 15-acre disposal area that operated from 1963 to 1975 and a five-acre area that operated from 1966 to 1986. In 1980, the Department of Energy (DOE) assumed management of the former reprocessing facility, the five-acre disposal area, the high-level radioactive waste tanks, waste lagoons, and aboveground waste storage areas. ERDA retained responsibility for the balance of the WNYNSC, including the 15-acre disposal area. This final EIS considers four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, for completing DOE decontamination and decommissioning activities and providing for ERDA's closure or long-term management of the site. Under the Site wide Removal Alternative, all site facilities would be removed; contaminated soil, sediment, and groundwater would be removed to meet criteria that would allow unrestricted release of WNYNSC; and all radioactive, hazardous, and mixed waste would be eventually shipped off site for disposal. Under the Site wide Close-In-Place Alternative, major facilities and sources of contamination would be managed at their current locations. Residual radioactivity would be isolated by specially designed closure structures and engineered barriers. Under the Phased Decision making Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, decommissioning would be completed in two phases. Phase 1 would include removal of foundations, slabs or pads, the main plant process building, the source of the north plateau groundwater pulse, and certain lagoons; Phase 1 activities would take eight to ten years to complete. Phase 2 would complete decommissioning or long-term stewardship decision making according to the approach determined most appropriate during Phase 1 evaluations for each remaining facility. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Closure of the facility would reduce long-term maintenance requirements and costs, and improve public safety. Following Phase 1 of the Phased Decision making Alternative, an estimated 1,712 acres of land would be available for unrestricted release. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Decommissioning actions would result in radiological releases to the atmosphere and to local surface waters with consequent exposure risk to offsite individuals and populations. Plans to transport radioactive waste would expose workers to radiation. Public health and safety would be seriously threatened in the unlikely event of a transportation accident.

AN - 756827067; 14146-100019_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The decommissioning and long-term stewardship of the West Valley Demonstration Project and the Western New York Nuclear Service Center (WNYNSC), Erie and Cattaraugus Counties, New York are proposed. The WNYNSC is a 3,338-acre site located 30 miles southeast of Buffalo owned by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (ERDA). The 167-acre West Valley Demonstration Project premises, a site licensed by the Atomic Energy Commission in 1966, was the home of the only operational commercial nuclear fuel reprocessing facility in the United States. In operation from 1966 to 1972, the facility produced 660,430 gallons of liquid high-level radioactive waste. The demonstration project completed high-level radioactive waste vitrification (solidification in a glass matrix) in 2002; 275 canisters of glass waste were produced and are stored at the site pending offsite disposal. The WNYNSC also contains two radioactive waste disposal areas: a 15-acre disposal area that operated from 1963 to 1975 and a five-acre area that operated from 1966 to 1986. In 1980, the Department of Energy (DOE) assumed management of the former reprocessing facility, the five-acre disposal area, the high-level radioactive waste tanks, waste lagoons, and aboveground waste storage areas. ERDA retained responsibility for the balance of the WNYNSC, including the 15-acre disposal area. This final EIS considers four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, for completing DOE decontamination and decommissioning activities and providing for ERDA's closure or long-term management of the site. Under the Site wide Removal Alternative, all site facilities would be removed; contaminated soil, sediment, and groundwater would be removed to meet criteria that would allow unrestricted release of WNYNSC; and all radioactive, hazardous, and mixed waste would be eventually shipped off site for disposal. Under the Site wide Close-In-Place Alternative, major facilities and sources of contamination would be managed at their current locations. Residual radioactivity would be isolated by specially designed closure structures and engineered barriers. Under the Phased Decision making Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, decommissioning would be completed in two phases. Phase 1 would include removal of foundations, slabs or pads, the main plant process building, the source of the north plateau groundwater pulse, and certain lagoons; Phase 1 activities would take eight to ten years to complete.

The WNYNSC also contains two radioactive waste disposal areas: a 15-acre disposal area that operated from 1963 to 1975 and a five-acre area that operated from 1966 to 1986. In 1980, the Department of Energy (DOE) assumed management of the former reprocessing facility, the five-acre disposal area, the high-level radioactive waste tanks, waste lagoons, and aboveground waste storage areas. ERDA retained responsibility for the balance of the WNYNSC, including the 15-acre disposal area. This final EIS considers four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, for completing DOE decontamination and decommissioning activities and providing for ERDA's closure or long-term management of the site. Under the Site wide Removal Alternative, all site facilities would be removed; contaminated soil, sediment, and groundwater would be removed to meet criteria that would allow unrestricted release of WNYNSC; and all radioactive, hazardous, and mixed waste would be eventually shipped off site for disposal. Under the Site wide Close-In-Place Alternative, major facilities and sources of contamination would be managed at their current locations. Residual radioactivity would be isolated by specially designed closure structures and engineered barriers. Under the Phased Decision making Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, decommissioning would be completed in two phases. Phase 1 would include removal of foundations, slabs or pads, the main plant process building, the source of the north plateau groundwater pulse, and certain lagoons; Phase 1 activities would take eight to ten years to complete. Phase 2 would complete decommissioning or long-term stewardship decision making according to the approach determined most appropriate during Phase 1 evaluations for each remaining facility. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Closure of the facility would reduce long-term maintenance requirements and costs, and improve public safety. Following Phase 1 of the Phased Decision making Alternative, an estimated 1,712 acres of land would be available for unrestricted release. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Decommissioning actions would result in radiological releases to the atmosphere and to local surface waters with consequent exposure risk to offsite individuals and populations. Plans to transport radioactive waste would expose workers to radiation. Public health and safety would be seriously threatened in the unlikely event of a transportation accident.

AN - 754908350; 14146 AB - PURPOSE: The decommissioning and long-term stewardship of the West Valley Demonstration Project and the Western New York Nuclear Service Center (WNYNSC), Erie and Cattaraugus Counties, New York are proposed. The WNYNSC is a 3,338-acre site located 30 miles southeast of Buffalo owned by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (ERDA). The 167-acre West Valley Demonstration Project premises, a site licensed by the Atomic Energy Commission in 1966, was the home of the only operational commercial nuclear fuel reprocessing facility in the United States. In operation from 1966 to 1972, the facility produced 660,430 gallons of liquid high-level radioactive waste. The demonstration project completed high-level radioactive waste vitrification (solidification in a glass matrix) in 2002; 275 canisters of glass waste were produced and are stored at the site pending offsite disposal. The WNYNSC also contains two radioactive waste disposal areas: a 15-acre disposal area that operated from 1963 to 1975 and a five-acre area that operated from 1966 to 1986. In 1980, the Department of Energy (DOE) assumed management of the former reprocessing facility, the five-acre disposal area, the high-level radioactive waste tanks, waste lagoons, and aboveground waste storage areas. ERDA retained responsibility for the balance of the WNYNSC, including the 15-acre disposal area. This final EIS considers four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, for completing DOE decontamination and decommissioning activities and providing for ERDA's closure or long-term management of the site. Under the Site wide Removal Alternative, all site facilities would be removed; contaminated soil, sediment, and groundwater would be removed to meet criteria that would allow unrestricted release of WNYNSC; and all radioactive, hazardous, and mixed waste would be eventually shipped off site for disposal. Under the Site wide Close-In-Place Alternative, major facilities and sources of contamination would be managed at their current locations. Residual radioactivity would be isolated by specially designed closure structures and engineered barriers. Under the Phased Decision making Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, decommissioning would be completed in two phases. Phase 1 would include removal of foundations, slabs or pads, the main plant process building, the source of the north plateau groundwater pulse, and certain lagoons; Phase 1 activities would take eight to ten years to complete. Phase 2 would complete decommissioning or long-term stewardship decision making according to the approach determined most appropriate during Phase 1 evaluations for each remaining facility. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Closure of the facility would reduce long-term maintenance requirements and costs, and improve public safety. Following Phase 1 of the Phased Decision making Alternative, an estimated 1,712 acres of land would be available for unrestricted release. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Decommissioning actions would result in radiological releases to the atmosphere and to local surface waters with consequent exposure risk to offsite individuals and populations. Plans to transport radioactive waste would expose workers to radiation. Public health and safety would be seriously threatened in the unlikely event of a transportation accident.

The ability of the grafted membranes to separate Cu ions from Fe ions was investigated with respect to the grafting yield and the pH of the feed solution. The data showed that the diffusion of copper ions from the feed compartment to the receiver compartment depends on the grafting yield of the membranes and the pH of the feed solution. To the contrary, iron ions did not diffuse through the membranes of all grafting yields. However, a limited amount of iron ions diffused in strong acidic medium. This study shows that the prepared membranes could be considered for the separation of copper ions from iron ions. The temperature of thermal decomposition of pure PVA-g-AAc/Azol membrane, PVA-g-AAc/Azol membrane containing copper ions, and PVA-g-AAc/Azol membrane containing iron ions were determined using TGA analyzer. It was shown that the presence of Cu and Fe ions increases the decomposition temperature, and the membranes bonded with iron ions are more stable than those containing copper ions.

The actual calculation of the fuel rod buckling load, however, has been the subject of some controversy, with estimates of the critical buckling load differing by as much as a factor of 5. Typically, in the buckling analysis of a fuel rod, assumptions are made regarding the percentage of fuel mass that is bonded to or that participates with the cladding during the buckling process, with estimates ranging from 0 to 100%. The greater the percentage of fuel mass that is assumed to be bonded to the cladding, the higher the inertia loads on the cladding, and, therefore, the lower the 'g' value at which buckling occurs. However, these solutions do not consider displacement compatibility between the fuel and the cladding during the buckling process. By invoking displacement compatibility between the fuel column and the cladding column, this paper presents an exact solution for the buckling of fuel rods under inertia loading. The results show that the critical inertia load magnitude for the buckling of a fuel rod depends on the weight of the cladding and the total weight of the fuel, regardless of the percentage of fuel mass that is assumed to be attached to or participate with the cladding in the buckling process. Therefore, 100% of the fuel always participates in the buckling of a fuel rod under inertia loading.

The aims of the present study were to evaluate the osteoconductivity of Sr-doped bioactive glass (BG) particles implanted in rat tibia bone marrow, and characterize the neoformed bone tissue by SEM-energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis. Melt-derived BGs were prepared from a base 45S5 BG. Sr-doped glass (45S5.6Sr) was prepared using 6 wt % SrO as a substitute for the CaO. Histological analysis using undecalcified sections showed that new lamellar bone had formed along the surface of both 45S5 and 45S5.6Sr BG particles within 4 weeks. To evaluate osteoconductivity, affinity indices were calculated. At 30 days after implantation, 45S5 and 45S5.6Sr BGs had almost identical affinity indices (88% +/- 7% and 87% +/- 9%; p > 0.05). Strontium was not detected in the neoformed bone tissue surrounding 45S5.6Sr BG particles. These results indicate that 45S5.6Sr BG particles are osteoconductive when implanted inside the intramedullary canal of rat tibiae, and no alterations in bone mineralization, in terms of Ca/P ratio, were observed in the neoformed bone tissue around 45S5.6Sr BG particles.

The questionnaire was based on the following broad areas: general safety considerations, safety policy at the facility level, safety practices at the facility level, definition of responsibility, staff training, safety of the physical structure of the facility and the emergency plans. The analysis showed that the percentage levels of commitment to safety for the respective practices are as follows: conventional radiography, 23.3-90.0 %; research reactor, 73.3 %; gamma irradiation facility, 53.3 %; radiotherapy, 76.7 %; X-ray scanner, 80.0 %; gamma scanner, 76.7 %; industrial radiography 86.7 % and nuclear density practice, 78 %. None of the practices or facilities was able to satisfy all the requirements that will ensure a 100 % level of safety culture.

Damage to the aqueduct wall exhibits successive left-lateral fault offsets that amount to 13.6 + or - 0.2 m since the aqueduct construction, which is dated younger than 65 B.C.. Radiocarbon dating of sedimentary units in trenches, building cement of the aqueduct wall, and tufa cores constrain the late Holocene aqueduct history. The building stone types, related cement dating, and tufa deposits of the aqueduct indicate two reconstruction-repair episodes in A.D. 340 + or - 20 and A.D. 720 + or - 20. The combined analysis of trench results; successive building and repair of aqueduct wall; and tufa onsets, growths, and interruptions suggests the occurrence of four faulting events in the last approximately 3500 yr, with a cluster of three events in A.D. 160-510, A.D. 625-690, and A.D. 1010-1210, the latter being correlated with the 29 June 1170 large earthquake. Our study provides the timing of late Holocene earthquakes and infers a lower and upper bound of 4.9-6.3 mm/yr slip rate along the Missyaf segment of the Dead Sea fault in Syria. The inferred successive faulting events, fault segment length, and related amount of = 7.3-7.5 for individual earthquakes. The identification of the coseismic slip yield M (sub w) temporal cluster of large seismic events suggests periods of seismic quiescence reaching 1700 yr along the Missyaf Fault segment.

This work surveyed 30 CT scanners from six different manufacturers distributed all over Syria. Some of the results in this paper were part of a project launched by the International Atomic Energy Agency in different regions of the world covering Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe. The dose quantities covered are CT dose index (CTDIw), dose-length product (DLP), effective dose (E) and collective dose. It was found that most CTDIw and DLP values were similar to the European reference levels and in line with the results of similar surveys in the world. The results were in good agreement with the UNSCEAR Report 2007. This study concluded a recommendation for national diagnostic reference level for the most common CT protocols in Syria. The results can be used as a base for future optimisation studies in the country.

Eighty rock samples from this area were analyzed by spectrometric gamma-ray technique to determine the radioactive concentrations of eU and eTh, and of %K. Uranium concentrations in shallow and deep groundwaters were also determined. High uranium concentrations were registered owing to the presence of phosphatic outcrops in the study region. The uranium migration trends and its remobilization were analyzed through the analysis of the behavior of eU, eTh, and their ratio. A positive relationship between eU and eU/eTh, and a negative relationship between eTh and eU/eTh in geological formations of different ages supports the secondary remobilization of uranium. The role of groundwater movement in transportation and redeposition of uranium mineralization is discussed: deep waters are less oxidizing than near-surface waters, and do not appear to have significantly remobilized uranium. This indicates that the source of secondary uranium mineralization is surficial or near surficial, and is mainly related to the leaching of outcropping phosphatic layers. Integration of the results with established radioactive and geological sections reveals four radioactive anomalous zones: north Froqlos, Kherbet Hannora, northwestern flanks of Jabal Abou Rabah (Kherbet Al-Hajar), and the northwestern limit of the Ghuntor depression. The high uranium concentration in north Froqlos is because of its original presence in the phosphate beds and extensive fracturing, which allows groundwaters to penetrate and remobilize the uranium. High uranium concentrations in the other three locations are caused by the presence of evaporites and capillary action, which draws solutions upwards and causes redeposition as surface crusts (gypcrete).

The seasonal variations in d super(18)O are smaller at the western stations than at the eastern ones due to low seasonal temperature variations. A good correlation between d super(2)H and d super(18)O was obtained for each station, and the slopes of the local meteoric water lines are significantly lower than the Global Meteoric Water Line. Values of d-excess decrease from 19ppt at the western stations to 13ppt at the eastern ones, indicating the influence of precipitation generated by air masses coming from the Mediterranean Sea. A reliable altitude effect represented by depletion of heavy stable isotopes (d super(18)O and d super(2)H), of about -0.21ppt and -1.47ppt per 100 m elevation, respectively, was observed. Monthly tritium contents in precipitation, and seasonal variations, are less at the western stations than at the eastern ones. The weighted mean tritium values are between 3 and 9 TU, and increase with distance from the Syrian coast by 1 TU/100 km.Original Abstract: L'article traite de certains aspects de la composition isotopique (tritium et isotopes stables) des precipitations en Syrie, observees en 12 stations de 2000 a 2003. Les variations saisonnieres en d super(18)O sont plus faibles pour les stations de l'Ouest que pour celles de l'Est, en raison des faibles variations saisonnieres de la temperature. Une bonne correlation entre d super(2)H et d super(18)O a ete obtenue pour chaque station, et les pentes locales des droites des eaux meteoriques sont significativement inferieures a celle de la Droite Mondiale des Eaux Meteoriques. La diminution de l'exces en deuterium de 19ppt pour les stations occidentales et de 13ppt pour les stations orientales indique l'influence des precipitations generees par les masses d'air venant de la Mer Mediterranee. Un effet orographique notable est observe, qui se traduit par l'appauvrissement des isotopes stables (d super(18)O et d super(2)H) de -0.21ppt et de -1.47ppt par 100 m d'altitude,, respectivement. Les teneurs mensuelles en tritium dans les precipitations, ainsi que les variations saisonnieres, sont plus faibles pour les stations de l'ouest que de l'est. La teneur moyenne en tritium varie de 3 a 9 TU, et augmente avec la distance a la cote Syrienne de 1 TU/100 km.

AN - 733119462; 19945092 AB - OBJECTIVEGiven that locoregional recurrences developing from a tissue with potentially malignant disorders (PMD) in oral mucosa are a frequent cause of therapeutic failure, and that tissue with PMD is dose-limiting, the aim of the present study was to develop a model of tissue with PMD to evaluate the long-term therapeutic/toxic effects of different therapeutic modalities.MATERIALS AND METHODSWe evaluated 5 carcinogenesis protocols based on topical application of the carcinogen dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene in the hamster cheek pouch, twice a week for 4, 6, 7, and 8 weeks and the classical 3 times a week for 12 weeks.RESULTSLong-term follow-up (8 months after protocol completion) was only possible with the 4- and 6-week carcinogenesis protocols. Tumour development increased progressively with time and aggressiveness of the carcinogenesis protocols. The time at which tumours developed in > or =90% of the animals was at protocol completion (T0) for the 12-week protocol, 1 month post-T0 for the 8-week protocol, 3 months post-T0 for the 7-week protocol and 4 months post-T0 for the 6-week protocol. <40% of the animals in the 4-week protocol developed tumours within the 8 months follow-up period. DNA synthesis rose as a function of time and protocol aggressiveness.CONCLUSIONSThe 6-week carcinogenesis protocol was selected for long-term studies of different therapeutic modalities in tissue with PMD because it permitted long-term follow-up and guaranteed tumour development in > or =90% of the animals.

Velocity estimates based on GPS survey campaigns in 2000, 2007 and 2008, demonstrate left-lateral shear along the northern DSFS with 1sigma uncertainties less than 0.7 mm yr (super -1) . These velocities are consistent with an elastic dislocation model with a slip rate of 1.8-3.3 mm yr (super -1) and a locking depth of 5-16 km. This geodetically determined slip rate is about half of that reported farther south along the central section (Lebanese restraining bend) and the southern section (Jordan Valley and Wadi Araba) of the transform and consequently requires some deformation to occur away from the transform along other geological structures. The factor of two difference in slip rates along the transform is also consistent with differing estimates of total fault slip that have occurred since the mid Miocene: 20-25 km along the northern DSFS (in NW Syria) versus about 45 km along the southern DSFS segment. Some of the strain deficit may be accommodated by north-south shortening within the southwestern segment of the Palmyride fold belt of central Syria. Additionally, a distinct change in velocity occurs within the Sinai plate itself. These new GPS measurements, when viewed alongside the palaeoseismic record and the modest level of present-day seismicity, suggest that the reported estimates of recurrence time of large earthquakes (M>7) along the northern section of the DSFS may be underestimated owing to temporal clustering of such large historical earthquakes. Hence, a revised estimate of the earthquake hazard may be needed for NW Syria. Abstract Copyright (2010), RAS.

Regional uranium migration trends have also been estimated by using the airborne spectrometric data of Area-3, where different regional maps explaining the migration trends have been established. It was found that the four lithological phosphatic units P1, P2, P3 and P4 are the main uranium sources in the study region, where the uranium migration is in an outward direction. The other seven lithological units C1, C2, C3, M1, M2, M3 and M4 are successively and differentially enriched by uranium during the geological evolution of the crust, where uranium migration is generaly in an inward direction. The combination of the obtained uranium migration results with the dominant geological and tectonic conditions allows the proposition of a plausible scenario of six steps, which explain the different geological processes taking place in the study area. Favorable transverse structures for uranium occurences have been localized and qualified as being the most important for prospecting. More detailed exploration activities are needed in the study area to evaluate the potential of such structures as a function of depth. The proposed model could be applicable to similar phosphatic environments. JF - Applied Radiation and Isotopes AU - Asfahani, J AU - Aissa, M AU - Al-Hent, R AD - Atomic Energy Commission, P.O.

Also, Mycobacterium species has a peculiar cell wall, made of an impermeable complex structure rich in mycolate, making the lyses of its cell difficult. In order to apply a radio-labelled-probe based detection of mutations in selected genes leading to drug resistance, we concede that the evaluation and modifications of nucleic acid extraction protocols that are less sophisticated and less prone to contamination would be useful in the management of tuberculosis in a resource-constrained setting. Findings: The average amount of nucleic acids was determined for different extraction treatments. High temperature treatment only, yielded the lowest amount of nucleic acids, i.e. 15.7 plus or minus 3.2 mu g. The average amount of nucleic acids obtained with the addition of TE and triton-X100, was 133.7 plus or minus 8.9 mu g, while that obtained with the addition of TE only, and TE and SDS were 68.4 plus or minus 22.7 mu g and 70.4 plus or minus 20.3 mu g respectively. Other treatments yielded 28.8 plus or minus 6.7 mu g, 32.5 plus or minus 2.4 mu g and 36.9 plus or minus 15.5 mu g. The average amount of nucleic acids obtained with high temperature treatment in TE, and that obtained by freezing prior to high temperature treatment, successfully amplified for the genes of interest (rpoB, KatG, rrs). Conclusion: We strongly recommend the use of 1 TE buffer, and freezing and heating for improved lysis of cultured M. tuberculosis, and therefore, as an effective method for the preparation of M. tuberculosis nucleic acid useful for PCR.

A dataset of fault-plane solutions was obtained for 49 events with magnitude =3.5 using the first P-wave motions. Most of these events had strike-slip mechanisms in agreement with the configuration of the seismogenic belts in Syria. Normal mechanisms were more scarce and were restricted to certain areas, such as the coastal ranges. These data show that despite the relatively small magnitudes of the events studied, they provide a coherent picture of the deformation that has currently been taking place along the active faults. However, some other faults were inactive during the period of this study.

The results show that the main recharge zones for the Paleogene aquifer range between 650 and 900 m a.s.l., which coincide with the outcrop of the karstified limestone in the Mardin uplift. The chemical and isotopic behaviors of groundwater, together with radiometric super(14)C reflect the existence of three different groundwater groups: (1) the fresh and cold water, percolating in short and shallow flow paths, for which the main replenishment processes are recent; (2) the brackish and thermal water containing certain amounts of H sub(2)S gas, that percolate in longer and deeper flow paths, for which the main replenishment processes occurred during the palaeoclimatic humid conditions of Pleistocene time, placed at 10-18 Ka BP; (3) the brackish and admixed thermal groundwater with intermediate super(14)C age, which seems to be formed as a result of mixing between the previous two groups.

Qaraoun lake is a warm monomictic lake. The poor vertical mixing of the lake is due to the temperature-induced seasonal stratification. There are few groundwater inflow points along fractures. The mineralization in the lake is higher than the surrounding groundwater, due to evaporation and anthropogenic inputs. The concentration of most chemical species decreases downgradient in groundwater with distance from the dam. Groundwater is recharged by a source other than the lake in this region. The isotopic composition of groundwater from observation wells, which are not influenced by the lake, lies on the local meteoric water line. The isotopic composition of the lake and of the wells that contain water from Qaraoun lake fall on the evaporation water line. The position of the points indicates the extent of mixing between locally infiltrated groundwater and lake water. The contribution of lake water diminishes with increasing distance from the lake. The mixing zone, delineated by combining the stable isotope data and hydrochemical parameters, is oriented to the southeast and its lateral extent is limited.

[Part 2 of 2] T2 - MOORE RANCH IN-SITU URANIUM RECOVERY (ISR) PROJECT, CAMPBELL COUNTY, WYOMING (FIRST DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 2009). AN - 756826905; 14125-090421_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a new source material license for the construction, operation, aquifer restoration, and decommissioning of an in-situ leach uranium recovery facility, also known as an in-situ recovery (ISR) facility, in Campbell County, Wyoming is proposed. Energy Metals Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Uranium One, submitted an application for the Moore Ranch Project located in the Wyoming East Uranium Milling Region identified in the final generic EIS of June 2009 which assessed the potential environmental impacts from the construction and operation of ISR facilities for four specified geographic regions of the western United States. As part of that assessment, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission determined which potential impacts would be essentially the same for all ISR facilities and which would result in varying levels of impacts for different facilities, thus requiring further site-specific information to determine potential impacts. The proposed area for the license in question consists of 7,110 acres remotely located on private land. Facilities would include a central plant with processing capabilities; two well fields with injection, production, and monitor wells, header houses, pipelines to connect the well fields with the central plant, and an access road network. During the ISR process, an oxidant-charged solution, called a lixiviant, is injected into the production zone aquifer (uranium ore body) through injection wells. Typically, a lixiviant uses native ground water (from the production zone aquifer), carbon dioxide, and sodium carbonate/bicarbonate, with an oxygen or hydrogen peroxide oxidant. As it circulates though the production zone, the lixiviant oxidizes and dissolves the mineralized uranium, which is present in a reduced chemical state. The resulting uranium-rich solution is drawn to recovery wells by pumping, and then transferred to a processing facility via a network of pipes. At the processing facility, the uranium is leached from the solution and the resulting barren solution is then recharged with the oxidant and re-injected to recover more uranium from the well field. During production, the uranium recovery solution continually moves through the aquifer from outlying injection wells to internal recovery wells which can be arranged in a variety of geometric patterns. Wellfields are often designed in a five-spot or seven-spot pattern, with each recovery well being located inside a ring of injection wells. In the case of the proposed Moore Ranch Project, a five-spot pattern is proposed. Monitoring wells completed in the production zone aquifer and the overlying and underlying aquifers would detect lixiviant in case of migration out of the production zone. The uranium that is recovered from the solution would be processed, dried into yellowcake and packaged into approved 55-gallon steel drums, and trucked offsite to a licensed conversion facility. In addition to the proposed action, a No Action Alternative is evaluated in this draft EIS. The preliminary recommendation is that issuance of a license is a reasonable option. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would authorize commercial-scale ISR uranium recovery on private lands with adequate mitigation measures to ensure public safety and protection of environmental resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the plant and facilities would disturb150 acres of land resulting in displacement of soils, vegetation, and the associated wildlife habitat. Facility workers would be exposed to radiation, but only at levels comparable to background level.

Uranerz Energy Corporation submitted an application for the Nichols Ranch Project located in the Wyoming East Uranium Milling Region identified in the final generic EIS of June 2009 which assessed the potential environmental impacts from the construction and operation of ISR facilities for four specified geographic regions of the western United States. As part of that assessment, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission determined which potential impacts would be essentially the same for all ISR facilities and which would result in varying levels of impacts for different facilities, thus requiring further site-specific information to determine potential impacts. The proposed 3,371-acre project area would include a central processing plant at the Nichols Ranch unit and a satellite facility, well fields, and deep disposal wells at the Hank unit. The total land surface area for the license in question consists of 3,091 acres of private ownership and 280 acres of federal land. During the ISR process, an oxidant-charged solution, called a lixiviant, is injected into the production zone aquifer (uranium ore body) through injection wells using native ground water from the production zone aquifer, carbon dioxide, and sodium carbonate/bicarbonate, with an oxygen or hydrogen peroxide oxidant.

In addition to the proposed action, a No Action Alternative and a modified action alternative are evaluated in this draft EIS. Uranerz would construct and operate facilities at only the proposed Nichols Ranch unit under the modified alternative. The preliminary recommendation is that issuance of a license is a reasonable option. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would authorize commercial-scale ISR uranium recovery on private lands with adequate mitigation measures to ensure public safety and protection of environmental resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the plant and facilities would disturb 300 acres of land resulting in displacement of soils, vegetation, and the associated wildlife habitat. Four sites eligible for listing with the National Register of Historic Places located within proposed well fields would be impacted. Facility workers would be exposed to radiation, but only at levels comparable to background level.

Lost Creek ISR, LLC (LCI) submitted an application for the Lost Creek Project located in the Wyoming West Uranium Milling Region identified in the final generic EIS of June 2009 which assessed the potential environmental impacts from the construction and operation of ISR facilities for four specified geographic regions of the western United States. As part of that assessment, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission determined which potential impacts would be essentially the same for all ISR facilities and which would result in varying levels of impacts for different facilities, thus requiring further site-specific information to determine potential impacts. The proposed area for the license in question consists of 4,220 acres remotely located on public land. Facilities would include a central plant to produce yellowcake slurry, well fields, a deep disposal well for liquid effluent wastes, and attendant infrastructure. During the ISR process, an oxidant-charged solution, called a lixiviant, is injected into the production zone aquifer using native ground water, carbon dioxide, and sodium carbonate/bicarbonate, with an oxygen or hydrogen peroxide oxidant. The lixiviant oxidizes and dissolves the mineralized uranium and the resulting uranium-rich solution is drawn to recovery wells and then transferred to a processing facility via a network of pipes.

The uranium that is recovered from the solution would be processed, dried into yellowcake and packaged into approved 55-gallon steel drums, and trucked offsite to a licensed conversion facility. In addition to the proposed action, a No Action Alternative, and a modified action alternative, under which LCI would produce dry yellowcake at Lost Creek, are evaluated in this draft EIS. The preliminary recommendation is that issuance of a license is a reasonable option. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would authorize commercial-scale ISR uranium recovery on public lands with adequate mitigation measures to ensure public safety and protection of environmental resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the plant and facilities would disturb 57 acres of land resulting in displacement of soils, vegetation, and the associated wildlife habitat. Three archaeological sites in the project area are eligible for listing with the National Register of Historic Places; one site is located within a proposed well field site.

AN - 36348933; 14127 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a new source material license for the construction, operation, aquifer restoration, and decommissioning of an in-situ leach uranium recovery facility, also known as an in-situ recovery (ISR) facility, in Campbell and Johnson counties, Wyoming is proposed. Uranerz Energy Corporation submitted an application for the Nichols Ranch Project located in the Wyoming East Uranium Milling Region identified in the final generic EIS of June 2009 which assessed the potential environmental impacts from the construction and operation of ISR facilities for four specified geographic regions of the western United States. As part of that assessment, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission determined which potential impacts would be essentially the same for all ISR facilities and which would result in varying levels of impacts for different facilities, thus requiring further site-specific information to determine potential impacts. The proposed 3,371-acre project area would include a central processing plant at the Nichols Ranch unit and a satellite facility, well fields, and deep disposal wells at the Hank unit. The total land surface area for the license in question consists of 3,091 acres of private ownership and 280 acres of federal land. During the ISR process, an oxidant-charged solution, called a lixiviant, is injected into the production zone aquifer (uranium ore body) through injection wells using native ground water from the production zone aquifer, carbon dioxide, and sodium carbonate/bicarbonate, with an oxygen or hydrogen peroxide oxidant. The lixiviant oxidizes and dissolves the mineralized uranium, which is present in a reduced chemical state and the resulting uranium-rich solution is drawn to recovery wells by pumping, and then transferred to a processing facility via a network of pipes. At the processing facility, the uranium is leached from the solution and the resulting barren solution is then recharged with the oxidant and re-injected to recover more uranium from the well field. Uranium recovery solution continually moves through the aquifer from outlying injection wells to internal recovery wells which can be arranged in a variety of geometric patterns. Wellfields are often designed in a five-spot or seven-spot pattern, with each recovery well being located inside a ring of injection wells. Monitoring wells completed in the production zone aquifer and the overlying and underlying aquifers would detect lixiviant in case of migration out of the production zone. The uranium that is recovered from the solution would be processed, dried into yellowcake and packaged into approved 55-gallon steel drums, and trucked offsite to a licensed conversion facility. In addition to the proposed action, a No Action Alternative and a modified action alternative are evaluated in this draft EIS. Uranerz would construct and operate facilities at only the proposed Nichols Ranch unit under the modified alternative. The preliminary recommendation is that issuance of a license is a reasonable option. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would authorize commercial-scale ISR uranium recovery on private lands with adequate mitigation measures to ensure public safety and protection of environmental resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the plant and facilities would disturb 300 acres of land resulting in displacement of soils, vegetation, and the associated wildlife habitat. Four sites eligible for listing with the National Register of Historic Places located within proposed well fields would be impacted. Facility workers would be exposed to radiation, but only at levels comparable to background level.

Energy Metals Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Uranium One, submitted an application for the Moore Ranch Project located in the Wyoming East Uranium Milling Region identified in the final generic EIS of June 2009 which assessed the potential environmental impacts from the construction and operation of ISR facilities for four specified geographic regions of the western United States. As part of that assessment, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission determined which potential impacts would be essentially the same for all ISR facilities and which would result in varying levels of impacts for different facilities, thus requiring further site-specific information to determine potential impacts. The proposed area for the license in question consists of 7,110 acres remotely located on private land. Facilities would include a central plant with processing capabilities; two well fields with injection, production, and monitor wells, header houses, pipelines to connect the well fields with the central plant, and an access road network. During the ISR process, an oxidant-charged solution, called a lixiviant, is injected into the production zone aquifer (uranium ore body) through injection wells. Typically, a lixiviant uses native ground water (from the production zone aquifer), carbon dioxide, and sodium carbonate/bicarbonate, with an oxygen or hydrogen peroxide oxidant. As it circulates though the production zone, the lixiviant oxidizes and dissolves the mineralized uranium, which is present in a reduced chemical state. The resulting uranium-rich solution is drawn to recovery wells by pumping, and then transferred to a processing facility via a network of pipes. At the processing facility, the uranium is leached from the solution and the resulting barren solution is then recharged with the oxidant and re-injected to recover more uranium from the well field. During production, the uranium recovery solution continually moves through the aquifer from outlying injection wells to internal recovery wells which can be arranged in a variety of geometric patterns. Wellfields are often designed in a five-spot or seven-spot pattern, with each recovery well being located inside a ring of injection wells. In the case of the proposed Moore Ranch Project, a five-spot pattern is proposed. Monitoring wells completed in the production zone aquifer and the overlying and underlying aquifers would detect lixiviant in case of migration out of the production zone. The uranium that is recovered from the solution would be processed, dried into yellowcake and packaged into approved 55-gallon steel drums, and trucked offsite to a licensed conversion facility.

Lost Creek ISR, LLC (LCI) submitted an application for the Lost Creek Project located in the Wyoming West Uranium Milling Region identified in the final generic EIS of June 2009 which assessed the potential environmental impacts from the construction and operation of ISR facilities for four specified geographic regions of the western United States. As part of that assessment, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission determined which potential impacts would be essentially the same for all ISR facilities and which would result in varying levels of impacts for different facilities, thus requiring further site-specific information to determine potential impacts. The proposed area for the license in question consists of 4,220 acres remotely located on public land. Facilities would include a central plant to produce yellowcake slurry, well fields, a deep disposal well for liquid effluent wastes, and attendant infrastructure.

Examining what has transpired in fire protection regulation since the 1975 fire at Browns Ferry Unit 1, which first focused attention on the potential hazard of fire at commercial nuclear power plants, we offer a personal perspective as to whether or not the 'the flames of controversy' have been 'doused.' We show that significant progress has been made while speculating whether these 'flames' may ever truly be extinguished, or only kept under control. No core damage accident has ever occurred at a commercial nuclear power plant due to fire.

The Palmyra fold belt (PFB) splays ENE from the DSFZ in SW Syria and persists for approximately 400 km to the River Euphrates, but its significance within the regional pattern of active crustal deformation has hitherto been unclear. We report deformation of Euphrates terraces consistent with Quaternary right-lateral transpression within the PFB, indicating anticlockwise rotation (estimated as 0.3 degrees Ma (super -1) about 36.0 degrees N 39.8 degrees E) of the block between the PFB and the northern DSFZ relative to the Arabian Plate interior. The northern DSFZ is shown to be kinematically consistent with the combination of Euler vectors for the PFB and the Red Sea spreading, resolving the inconsistency previously evident. The SW PFB causes a significant earthquake hazard, previously unrecognized, to the city of Damascus. Abstract Copyright (2009), Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

These amino acids are highly conserved among the acidophilic family 11 xylanases and located near the catalytic site. XYL1p and its single mutants D60N, Y35W and E141A and three combined mutants DN/YW, DN/EA and YW/EA were over-expressed in Pichia pastoris and purified. Xylanase activities at different pH's and temperatures were determined. All mutations increased the pH optimum by 0.5-1.5 pH units. All mutants have lower specific activities except the E141A mutant that exhibited a 50% increase in specific activity at pH 4.0 and had an overall catalytic efficiency higher than the wild-type enzyme. Thermal unfolding experiments show that both the wild-type and E141A mutant proteins have a T sub(m) maximum at pH 3.5, the E141A mutant being slightly less stable than the wild-type enzyme. These mutations confirm the importance of these amino acids in the pH adaptation. Mutant E141A with its enhanced specific activity at pH 4.0 and improved overall catalytic efficiency is of possible interest for biotechnological applications.

Concentrations of 13 individual PCB congeners are reported. Median concentration of Sigma PCB congeners was 0.279 ng g (super -1) dry weight (range 0.106-2.016 ng g (super -1) dry weight) in sediments, and 5.20 ng g (super -1) dry weight (range 1.89-19.37 ng g (super -1) ) in clams. Distribution and bioaccumulation of PCBs in the delta are discussed. It is concluded that in the Mekong River delta PCB concentrations were generally lower than in other regions of Vietnam and their likely sources have been waste discharges from repair workshops and other facilities in the delta cities.

[Part 2 of 2] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2, RED WING, GOODHUE COUNTY, MINNESOTA (THIRTY-NINTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 756826959; 14106-090402_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP), Units 1 and 2, in Goodhue County, Minnesota is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 39th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Northern State Power Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, PINGP Units 1 and 2, located on the west bank of the Mississippi River within the city limits of Red Wing, would be shut down on or before expiration of the current licenses, August 9, 2013 and October 29, 2014, respectively. PINGP 1 and 2 is a two-unit pressurized water reactor (PWR) plant that utilizes a hybrid cooling system, which consists of three modes of operation: open cycle (once-through cooling, with no cooling towers in operation), helper cycle (once-through cooling, with mechanical draft cooling towers in operation), and closed cycle (using cooling towers to recirculate up to 95 percent of the cooling water). The plant is licensed to operate at 1650 megawatt-thermal (MWt) per unit, or 575 megawatts-electrical (MWe) of gross electrical output per unit. The most conspicuous structures on the site are the four natural draft cooling towers. Other salient buildings on the PINGP 1 and 2 site include the reactor building, auxiliary building, turbine building, intake and plant screenhouses, and the PINGP 1 and 2 substation. PINGP 1 and 2 used (or spent) fuel is stored in a pool inside the plant until it is cooled, and transferred to dry storage containers located on site, called the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). Spent fuel will be stored there until the federal government removes it to be reprocessed or stored at a government facility. As of early 2009, Prairie Island's ISFSI housed 24 dry-storage containers, which hold a total of approximately 920 spent fuel assemblies. Two alternatives to the proposed license renewal are considered including other methods of power generation and not renewing the PINGP 1 and 2 operating license (the No Action Alternative). Replacement power options considered were 1) gas-fired combined-cycle plant at the PINGP 1 and 2 site and an undetermined alternate site; 2) a combination including a gas-fired unit, wind power, conservation, and wood-waste biomass; and 3) a combination including continued operation of one of the two PINGP 1 and 2 unit, wind power, and conservation. The preliminary recommendation is that license renewal is a reasonable option. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Refurbishment and maintenance activities would have some impact on air quality and ground and surface water use and quality. Aquatic resources could be impacted by impingement, entrainment, and heat shock. Slightly higher doses of radiation to members of the public could occur during refurbishment, but the dose to a maximally exposed individual would be a small fraction of standard limits.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the U.S./IAEA Additional Protocol at the NRC and Agreement State licensed locations, except at those licensees for which the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) or Defense (DOD) are assigned Lead Agency responsibility. DOE or DOD serve as Lead Agency at locations located on a DOE or DOD owned, operated or leased facility or property. On December 23, 2008 the NRC issued revisions to 10 CFR Part 75, 'Safeguards on Nuclear Material-Implementation of U.S./IAEA Agreement' and 10 CFR Part 110, 'Export and Import of Nuclear Equipment and Material', incorporating the new requirements necessary to ensure compliance with the U.S./LAEA Additional Protocol.

AN - 16382156; 14106 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP), Units 1 and 2, in Goodhue County, Minnesota is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 39th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Northern State Power Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, PINGP Units 1 and 2, located on the west bank of the Mississippi River within the city limits of Red Wing, would be shut down on or before expiration of the current licenses, August 9, 2013 and October 29, 2014, respectively. PINGP 1 and 2 is a two-unit pressurized water reactor (PWR) plant that utilizes a hybrid cooling system, which consists of three modes of operation: open cycle (once-through cooling, with no cooling towers in operation), helper cycle (once-through cooling, with mechanical draft cooling towers in operation), and closed cycle (using cooling towers to recirculate up to 95 percent of the cooling water). The plant is licensed to operate at 1650 megawatt-thermal (MWt) per unit, or 575 megawatts-electrical (MWe) of gross electrical output per unit. The most conspicuous structures on the site are the four natural draft cooling towers. Other salient buildings on the PINGP 1 and 2 site include the reactor building, auxiliary building, turbine building, intake and plant screenhouses, and the PINGP 1 and 2 substation. PINGP 1 and 2 used (or spent) fuel is stored in a pool inside the plant until it is cooled, and transferred to dry storage containers located on site, called the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). Spent fuel will be stored there until the federal government removes it to be reprocessed or stored at a government facility. As of early 2009, Prairie Island's ISFSI housed 24 dry-storage containers, which hold a total of approximately 920 spent fuel assemblies. Two alternatives to the proposed license renewal are considered including other methods of power generation and not renewing the PINGP 1 and 2 operating license (the No Action Alternative). Replacement power options considered were 1) gas-fired combined-cycle plant at the PINGP 1 and 2 site and an undetermined alternate site; 2) a combination including a gas-fired unit, wind power, conservation, and wood-waste biomass; and 3) a combination including continued operation of one of the two PINGP 1 and 2 unit, wind power, and conservation. The preliminary recommendation is that license renewal is a reasonable option. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Refurbishment and maintenance activities would have some impact on air quality and ground and surface water use and quality. Aquatic resources could be impacted by impingement, entrainment, and heat shock. Slightly higher doses of radiation to members of the public could occur during refurbishment, but the dose to a maximally exposed individual would be a small fraction of standard limits.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - SINGLE NUCLEAR UNIT AT THE BELLEFONTE PLANT SITE, HOLLYWOOD, JACKSON COUNTY, ALABAMA. AN - 756826608; 14089-090385_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The completion or construction and operation of a single 1,100 to 1,200 megawatt (MW) nuclear generating unit at the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant (BLN) site located in Jackson County, Alabama are proposed. The facility is on a 1,600-acre site adjacent to the Tennessee River and the two-unit nuclear generating plant was authorized for construction in 1974. By 1988, when the facilities were nearly fully constructed, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) decided to defer completion in response to lower-than-expected load forecasts for the region. In December 1994, the TVA announced that BLN would not be completed as a nuclear power plant without a partner and put any further construction activities on hold. Demand for electricity in the TVA power service area has grown at the average rate of 2.3 percent per year from 1990 to 2008. Although the 2008- 2009 economic recession has slowed load growth in the short term and adds uncertainty to the forecast of power needs, future power needs are not expected to change dramatically. TVAs medium forecast analysis of future demands for electricity from its power system has identified the need for approximately 2,000 megawatts (MW) of additional baseload capacity in the 2018-2020 timeframe. Currently, there are two partially constructed Babcock and Wilcox pressurized light water reactors (B&W) with a rated capacity of about 1,200 MW each at the BLN site. TVA may choose to complete and operate either one of these partially constructed units, or construct and operate a new Westinghouse AP1000 advanced pressurized light water reactor (AP1000) using some of the existing infrastructure. Under any of the proposed alternatives, TVA would use licensing processes that are already underway. TVA currently holds a construction permit for the two B&W units and has applied for a combined (construction and operating) license for two AP1000 units. TVAs current proposal is to complete only one of these four previously proposed units. The considerable work that has been accomplished toward licensing the B&W and AP1000 technology would reduce the time and cost of bringing a single nuclear generating unit at BLN on line. This EIS supplements the original 1974 final EIS for BLN Units 1 and 2 and tiers from TVA's Energy Vision 2020 Integrated Resource Plan. Three generation alternatives and two transmission alternatives are evaluated in this draft supplemental EIS. The generation alternatives include: a No Action Alternative (Alternative A); Alternative B, which would complete and operate a B&W pressurized light water reactor; and Alternative C which would complete and operate an AP1000 pressurized light water reactor. Transmission alternatives include a No Action Alternative and an Action Alternative. Under the Action Alternative, the 500-kiloVolt (kV) switchyard and 500-kV transmission lines would be reactivated and other transmission lines would be refurbished. if either Alternative B or Alternative C were selected and implemented for the purpose of nuclear power generation, the Action Alternative for transmission would also be selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Completing a single nuclear unit at the BLN site would meet a substantial portion of TVAs future generating needs and would help meet the agencys goal of having 50 percent of its overall power supply from low or zero carbon-emitting sources by 2020. The single nuclear unit would provide a low-carbon- emitting power source at a significantly lower cost per installed kilowatt than other baseload power options. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Although air quality standards would not be exceeded under any of the alternatives, minor impacts would result from emissions. Noncombustible wastes would be disposed of at nearby municipal landfills. Storm water runoff, leaching from contaminated or disturbed areas, and various construction activities would have minor impacts on surface water. Dredging and towing barges would have adverse impacts to the pink mucket and sheepnose mussel.

AN - 67681415; 19820472 AB - An international team of experts conducted a detailed operational review at the Volgodonsk nuclear power plant. The review was the first mission by an International Atomic Energy Agency Operational Safety Review Team to Russia in over a decade. The author reviewed the emergency preparedness program in detail. Emergency preparedness professionals in the West are largely unfamiliar with Russian nuclear plant emergency preparedness programs, and the legacy of Chernobyl may leave some doubt as to their efficacy. This article describes the program in some detail and compares some elements to programs in the United States. The author was favorably impressed with the state of nuclear plant emergency preparedness in the Russian Federation and identified program elements that should be considered for implementation elsewhere.

While the adverse health effects of arsenic are generally well known, the impact of speciation on carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic adverse health effects has rarely, if ever, been considered in traditional chronic arsenic exposure risk assessments. Utilizing standard Environmental Protection Agency protocol, lifetime cancer risk and hazard quotient are calculated for chronic arsenic exposure at the local, regional, and national scale to characterize potential risk as a function of arsenic speciation. Additionally, the antagonistic and synergistic impacts of biogeochemical processes on arsenic bioavailability and bioaccessibility are discussed and show chronic exposure risk is likely to be reduced below some maximum value calculated for reduced arsenic species.

In this study, we evaluated various promoters and VSV or Mokola pseudotyping. Tetracycline-regulated lentiviral vectors expressing the green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter gene were produced. Neuronal promoters of prion (PrP), synapsin I (SYN), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), glutamic acid decarboxylase of 67 kDa (GAD), dopaminergic receptor 1 (D1R), glutamate receptor 1 (GluR1), preprotachykinin 1 (TAC1), enkephalin (ENK), homeobox dlx5/6 (dlx5/6-CMVmin) were compared with the ubiquitous phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) promoter. Astrocytic promoters of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFA2, GFA-ABC1D) and glutamine synthetase (GS) were studied in parallel to the excitatory amino acid transporter 1 (EAAT1) promoter. Stereotaxic injection of the vectors was done into the striatum and hippocampus, two structures implicated in Huntington's and Alzheimer's diseases, respectively. Tissue-specificity and transgene expression levels were analyzed by measuring the total GFP intensity and the number of infected cells. Preliminary results indicate that GAD, dlx5/6-CMVmin, PrP and PGK promoters lead to high transduction efficiency and strong neuronal expression whereas SYN, NSE, D1R, GluR1, TAC1 and ENK lead to a weaker expression. Evaluation of astrocytic promoters is underway and data will be presented.

Therefore, the determination of radon exhalation from these materials will help in prediction the existence of dwelling with potential radon risk. Ceramic tiles and marble samples were collected from Syrian local market. The correlation between radon exhalation from these materials and radium-226 content was studied. Results showed that there is no clear relation between radium content and radon exhalation rate, and the exhalation of radon did not exceed the permissible limits of American Environment Protection Agency (EPA). In addition, the additional annual dose from radon and gamma of the natural radioactivity in ceramic and marble when used as finishing materials in houses was also estimated and found to be not exceeding 20 kSv and 35 kSv from radon and gamma respectively.

The NRC has developed regulations and procedures to conduct a licensing review of a proposed geologic repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, in a technically defensible, legally sound, and transparent manner. Part 63 under Title 10 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (i.e., 10 CFR 63) prescribes rules governing the licensing (including issuance of a construction authorization) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposed repository. Subpart J of 10 CFR 2 contains the rules of practice for the licensing proceeding. Findings of fact and conclusions of law are the basis for deciding contested issues admitted into the adjudicatory proceeding. DOE submitted its license application on June 3, 2008. NRC's docketing of the application on September 8, 2008, initiated the NRC review along two concurrent processes. The first process is the technical licensing review by the NRC staff to assess the technical merits of the repository design and performance, and formulate a position on whether to issue a construction authorization for the repository. During its independent review, the NRC staff has requested additional information from DOE to help clarify the application on over 400 specific items. At the completion of its technical review, the NRC staff will issue a Safety Evaluation Report containing its findings. The second process is the adjudicatory hearings before the NRC's Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, which will hear challenges to the technical and legal aspects of the DOE application. A total of 319 contentions were filed by 12 groups petitioning to become parties to the hearing. Based on the results of the licensing review and the hearings, the Commission will determine whether to authorize construction of the Yucca Mountain repository. Information on the DOE license and the NRC license review is available at http://www.nrc.gov/waste/hlw-disposal/yucca-lic-app.html. The NRC staff views expressed herein are preliminary and do not constitute a final judgment or determination of the matters addressed or of the acceptability of a license application for a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain.

AN - 734021019; 19628402 AB - A comprehensive analysis has been performed to investigate the conversion of the Syrian MNSR (miniature neutron source reactor) from current HEU fuel to selected alternatives LEU and MEU fuels. For this purposes the core design calculations related to design and engineering of LEU and MEU fuels have been carried out using the codes WIMSD/4 and BORGES-part of the MTR-PC and the code CITATION. Aiming at reducing the fuel enrichment by maintaining reactor power, thermal neutron flux and excess reactivity in the same range of the current MNSR design, two fuel alternatives of LEU (UO(2)-Mg) and MEU (U(3)Si(x)-Al) have been investigated. The results indicate that the first type (UO(2)-Mg) realizes the criticality conditions with low enrichment of 20% using the similar overall design of the present HEU fuel pins, whereas the second type (U(3)Si-Al) requires increasing the enrichment up to 33%. For the purpose of reactor core lifetime extension the possibility of mixing the burnable poisons Gd(157) and Cd(113) in the fresh core has been also explored. Thus, the calculation results indicate that the long-term control effect of Cd(113) on the excess reactivity is more homogeneous over the time due to the lower burn up rate of this burnable poison.

In vitro digestible organic matter (IVDOM), metabolizable energy (ME), microbial nitrogen (MN) and biomass (MBM) production were also estimated in the experimental plant samples after their incubation with rumen fluid for 96h in the absence or presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG, 6000) at a ratio of 2:1 PEG:substrate. Fermentation characteristics (initial gas production; a, gas production during incubation; b, potential gas production; a+b, fractional rate of gas production; c) were assessed using an in vitro incubation technique with rumen fluid. There was a significant (P0.05) effect of added PEG on IVDOM, ME, MN, MBM, fermentation characteristics and gas production over 96h. The greatest proportion of gas production occurred between 6 and 24h of incubation. The fractional rate of gas production from 100mg substrate was higher (0.046mL/h) for the plant samples harvested at early stage and cut at 30cm length than harvested at late stage (0.018mL/h). C values were negatively correlated with lignin concentrations. The amount of MN and MBM produced from 100mg substrate amounted to 1.29mg and 14.95mg at early maturity stage and 0.68mg and 7.89mg at late stage, respectively.

The vapour flow is described accurately by including the inertia and convection terms in the momentum and energy equations, in order to study convection film boiling in the cases of very high superheat. Different film boiling cases are then analysed with this model. The case of high superheat and low subcooling was first analysed by comparing the model with an experiment consisting in the quenching of wires with very high superheat: the model was able to predict the measured heat transfer from the cylinder with errors less than 30%, performing better than previous models or correlations. Additional calculations in other high superheat conditions have also been performed and compared with a model which does not include the inertia and convection terms in order to have a more quantitative idea of their effects on the heat transfers. The case of low superheat and high subcooling is then analysed by comparing the model with other forced convection experiments with cylinders at lower temperatures. By analysing different experiments, it is found that there are in fact two different forced convection film boiling sub-regimes characterised by relatively "low" or "high" heat transfers, and that the existence of these sub-regimes is probably linked with the stability of the vapour film during film boiling. The model results compare quite well with the experimental data which belong to the "stable" sub-regime but, on the other hand, the model largely underestimates the heat transfer for experimental data which belongs to the "unstable" sub-regime. Finally, the model is compared to some free convection experimental data. The model was able to predict the measured heat transfers from the cylinder with errors less than 30% both in saturated and subcooled cases.

The inner irradiation site design inside the Be reflector was exploited to measure the generated photoneutrons induced by fission products hard gamma radiation in the subcritical state. The photoneutron flux was measured using gold foils as a function of cooling time and operation power. For cooling time ranges between 10 and 25 d, experiments show that super(140)Ba is the extremely dominating inducer of photoneutrons and the measured flux is proportional to the accumulated super(140)Ba. This result forms a new method base for MNSR fuel burnup monitoring. It might be used also as a safeguards technique to check the operator declared information.

This method performs the assay using point source calibration. The correction factors for volume and self-attenuation are experimentally deduced from the spectra of different thicknesses samples utilizing the following two simple well known facts: large and small samples of the same homogenous material have identical specific activities; the self-attenuation of gamma line decreases as its energy increases. The method was successfully applied to naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) large samples. This method does not require complicated mathematical procedures. Neither sample matrix data nor detector unit composition is needed. JF - Applied Radiation and Isotopes AU - Haddad, Kh AU - Albyiat, R AD - Atomic Energy Commission, P.O.

AN - 734055905; 19737839 AB - The optimisation of patient protection was studied using a conventional film screen of speed class 200 and a rare earth film screen of speed class 400. The entrance surface dose (ESD) for the two film-screen systems was determined for patients undergoing some common diagnostic procedures (chest, lumbar spine and pelvis series). The ESD was the optimising parameter and its trade off with the image quality assessment of the radiographs. The estimated ESDs were compared with reference levels set by the Commission of the European Communities for a typical standard adult patient. A mean dose reduction of 17-33 % was achieved upon adoption of a rare earth film screen of speed class 400. Regular assessment of patient dose, quality control (QC) of parameters that affect the patient dose and image quality, adoption of faster rare earth screens and optimum radiographic technique are recommended in order to achieve optimisation goals.

The dose assessment was performed in terms of weighted computed tomography dose index (CTDIw) and dose length product (DLP) for chest, chest (high resolution), lumbar spine, abdomen and pelvis CT examinations using standard methods. Except in one case, the mean CTDIw values were below diagnostic reference level (DRL) while for DLP, 17 % of situations were above DRLs. The resulting CT images were of adequate quality for diagnosis. The CTDIw and DLP data presented herein are largely similar to those from two recent national surveys. The study has shown a stronger need to create awareness and training of radiology personnel as well as monitoring of radiation doses in many developing countries so as to conform to the ALARA principle.

The professional development programs will need to address the knowledge, skills and beliefs of higher education faculty so that they can implement the kind of effective practices that results in the intended learning and meets the needs of diverse learners. To support the design of these programs, this research characterized the relationships between faculty's conceptions of teaching and learning on their teaching practices. Teaching faculty at Doctoral/ Research University were randomly interviewed to assess conceptions with respect to: 1) individual faculty learning, 2) student learning based on academic level, 3) how teaching is valued by the organization and 4) course goals. Additionally, classroom observations were conducted to determine the level of student-teacher interaction and cognitive engagement of the instructor and students with graphical and symbolic representations, as well as other manipulatives. Observations indicated teacher-centered classes across all academic levels. These data contrasted the subject's conceptions that cognitive and technical skill development is best achieved through self-directed learning. Analysis of the interviews and observations suggested the contradiction between learning practices the subject viewed as effective and the utilized teaching methods resulted from two major barriers: 1) the instructors' conceptions on the evolution of student learning and 2) an institutional reward structure that doesn't support the development of effective teaching practices.

Long-range transport (LRT) aerosol, coal fly ash from major coal-fired plants in RRD, and marine aerosols are regional sources, which explain the minor variability of the mass concentrations of fine particles across the region. Local sources include soil/resuspended road dust, local coal fly ash, and biomass burning. Soil/resuspended road dust is the largest source component of coarse particles at the two sites. It is more abundant in Hanoi than in Lucnam reflecting the urban-rural contrast in traffic and construction works. Receptor models reveal the incorporation of secondary sulfate, nitrate, and ammonium into the various primary particles, i.e., soot, minerals, soil organic matter, and sea salt. Soot particles from LRT carry the largest amounts of sulfate and ammonium mass concentrations measured at the two sites. Based on receptor models, the yields and possible chemical forms of secondary sulfate, nitrate, and ammonium in different types of primary particles can be inferred.

Abattoirs in Ghana mainly depend on post-mortem examinations as means of diagnosing the presence of mycobacterium in meat (beef). A Ziehl-Neelsen microscopy was used to investigate the presence of Mycobacterium bovis as Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFBs) in beef samples from the Kumasi Metropolitan abattoir; thereby vetting post-mortem examinations at the abattoir. Lesioned lung tissues and calcified or puss-filled thoracic lymph nodes were collected at post-mortem as directed by an expert veterinarian. A total of 159 samples from 130 cattle (bulls and cows) were used in this study from April to July 2006. Ninety-five (i.e., 73.1%) of the 130 cattle sampled were positive for AFBs, whilst the remaining thirty-five (26.9%) were negative. Out of the total 159 individual samples specimen collected, 114 (71.7%) were found with AFBs. A total of 64 lung tissues and 95 lymph nodes were collected, respectively. Interestingly, 70.3% of the lung tissues were AFB-positive with 69 (72.6%) out of the 95 lymph nodes, also being positive. The ZN microscopy was effective in detecting the presence of mycobacteria, as 73.1% of the suspected samples were AFB-positive. It presupposes that, abattoir post-mortem examinations were also efficient however; the lapses of non-detection of asymptomatic carcasses could also pose a serious health risk to consumers. Also, lack of a functional on-site laboratory and a practical monitoring system was found to be unfavourable to the maintenance of meat quality. Detailed laboratory examinations (such as culture, PCR and other biochemical tests) to augment ZN microscopy is recommended for thorough detection of bovine tuberculosis.

This is because of the variation of tilt angle changes the amount of solar radiation reaching the collector surface. A mathematical model was used for estimating the solar radiation on a tilted surface, and to determine the optimum tilt angle and orientation (surface azimuth angle) for the solar collector in the main Syrian zones, on a daily basis, as well as for a specific period. The optimum angle was computed by searching for the values for which the radiation on the collector surface is a maximum for a particular day or a specific period. The results reveal that changing the tilt angle 12 times in a year (i.e. using the monthly optimum tilt angle) maintains approximately the total amount of solar radiation near the maximum value that is found by changing the tilt angle daily to its optimum value. This achieves a yearly gain in solar radiation of approximately 30% more than the case of a solar collector fixed on a horizontal surface.

Three 3-D neutronic models for the Syrian MNSR reactor using the MCNP-4C code were developed to assess the possibility of fuel conversion from 89.87% HEU fuel (UAl sub(4)-Al) to 19.75% LEU fuel (UO sub(2)). The first model showed that 347 fuel rods with HEU fuel were required to obtain a reactor core with 5.17 mk unadjusted excess reactivity. The second model showed that only 200 LEU fuel rods distributed in the reactor core like the David star figure were required to obtain a reactor core with 4.85 mk unadjusted excess reactivity. The control rod worth using the LEU fuel was enhanced. Finally, the third model showed that distribution of 200 LEU fuel rods isotropically in the 10 circles of the reactor core failed to convert the fuel since the calculated core unadjusted excess reactivity for this model was 10.45 mk. This value was far beyond the reactor operation limits and highly exceeded the current MNSR core unadjusted excess reactivity (5.17 mk).

AN - 67516181; 19584141 AB - A survey of the radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation at public access points in the vicinity of 50 cellular phone base stations has been carried out. The primary objective was to measure and analyse the electromagnetic field strength levels emitted by antennae installed and operated by the Ghana Telecommunications Company. On all the sites measurements were made using a hand-held spectrum analyser to determine the electric field level with the 900 and 1800 MHz frequency bands. The results indicated that power densities at public access points varied from as low as 0.01 microW m(-2) to as high as 10 microW m(-2) for the frequency of 900 MHz. At a transmission frequency of 1800 MHz, the variation of power densities is from 0.01 to 100 microW m(-2). The results were found to be in compliant with the International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiological Protection guidance level but were 20 times higher than the results generally obtained for such a practice elsewhere. There is therefore a need to re-assess the situation to ensure reduction in the present level as an increase in mobile phone usage is envisaged within the next few years.

[Part 2 of 3] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS (REVISION 1 OF THE 1996 GENERIC EIS FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS). AN - 756825952; 13974-090270_0002 AB - PURPOSE: Revision of the 1996 Generic EIS for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (GEIS) is proposed. Regulations allow for renewal of commercial nuclear power plant operating licenses, depending on the outcome of an assessment to determine whether the nuclear plant can continue to operate safely and protect the environment during the 20-year period of extended operation. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission published the GEIS to support the preparation of EISs required for operating license renewal. Since publication, 30 plant sites (50 reactor units) have applied for license renewal and undergone environmental reviews, the results of which were published as supplements to the 1996 GEIS. This GEIS revision reviews and reevaluates the issues and findings of the 1996 GEIS. The intent is to determine which issues would result in the same impact at all nuclear power plants, and which issues could result in different levels of impact at different plants and thus require a plant-specific analysis. The GEIS is intended to improve the efficiency of the license renewal process by providing an evaluation of the types of impacts that may occur as a result of renewing the license of a nuclear power plant, identifying and assessing the impacts that are expected to be generic, and defining the number and scope of impacts that need to be addressed in plant-specific EISs. Seventy-eight environmental impact issues for consideration in plant-specific supplements are identified. In addition to the impacts of continued operations and refurbishment, the GEIS evaluates other consequences of license renewal, including the environmental effects of postulated accidents and the effects of an additional 20 years of operation on the impacts of shutdown and decommissioning and on the uranium fuel cycle. The GEIS evaluates a full range of alternatives to the proposed action, including a No Action Alternative (denial of license renewal), fossil energy alternatives, nuclear energy alternatives, renewable energy alternatives, conservation, and the purchase of power. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would provide an option to continue plant operations beyond the current licensing term to meet future electric system generating needs. License renewal would not require major construction and operational impacts would not change beyond what is currently experienced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Water use conflicts could occur with plants that rely on cooling ponds or cooling towers using makeup water from a river with low flow and groundwater conflicts could occur with plants that withdraw more than 100 gallons per minute.

AN - 756825812; 13974-090270_0001 AB - PURPOSE: Revision of the 1996 Generic EIS for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (GEIS) is proposed. Regulations allow for renewal of commercial nuclear power plant operating licenses, depending on the outcome of an assessment to determine whether the nuclear plant can continue to operate safely and protect the environment during the 20-year period of extended operation. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission published the GEIS to support the preparation of EISs required for operating license renewal. Since publication, 30 plant sites (50 reactor units) have applied for license renewal and undergone environmental reviews, the results of which were published as supplements to the 1996 GEIS. This GEIS revision reviews and reevaluates the issues and findings of the 1996 GEIS. The intent is to determine which issues would result in the same impact at all nuclear power plants, and which issues could result in different levels of impact at different plants and thus require a plant-specific analysis. The GEIS is intended to improve the efficiency of the license renewal process by providing an evaluation of the types of impacts that may occur as a result of renewing the license of a nuclear power plant, identifying and assessing the impacts that are expected to be generic, and defining the number and scope of impacts that need to be addressed in plant-specific EISs. Seventy-eight environmental impact issues for consideration in plant-specific supplements are identified. In addition to the impacts of continued operations and refurbishment, the GEIS evaluates other consequences of license renewal, including the environmental effects of postulated accidents and the effects of an additional 20 years of operation on the impacts of shutdown and decommissioning and on the uranium fuel cycle. The GEIS evaluates a full range of alternatives to the proposed action, including a No Action Alternative (denial of license renewal), fossil energy alternatives, nuclear energy alternatives, renewable energy alternatives, conservation, and the purchase of power. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would provide an option to continue plant operations beyond the current licensing term to meet future electric system generating needs. License renewal would not require major construction and operational impacts would not change beyond what is currently experienced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Water use conflicts could occur with plants that rely on cooling ponds or cooling towers using makeup water from a river with low flow and groundwater conflicts could occur with plants that withdraw more than 100 gallons per minute. Impacts to aquatic organisms through impingement or entrainment could occur at plants with once-through cooling systems or cooling ponds. Thermal impacts would depend on site-specific thermal plume characteristics and the nature of aquatic resources in the area.

AN - 67379299; 19376711 AB - We previously demonstrated the efficacy of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) mediated by boronophenylalanine (BPA), GB-10 (Na(2)(10)B(10)H(10)) and (GB-10+BPA) to control tumors, with no normal tissue radiotoxicity, in the hamster cheek pouch oral cancer model. Herein we developed a novel experimental model of field-cancerization and precancerous lesions (globally termed herein precancerous tissue) in the hamster cheek pouch to explore the long-term potential inhibitory effect of the same BNCT protocols on the development of second primary tumors from precancerous tissue. Clinically, second primary tumor recurrences occur in field-cancerized tissue, causing therapeutic failure. We performed boron biodistribution studies followed by in vivo BNCT studies, with 8 months follow-up. All 3 BNCT protocols induced a statistically significant reduction in tumor development from precancerous tissue, reaching a maximum inhibition of 77-100%. The inhibitory effect of BPA-BNCT and (GB-10+BPA)-BNCT persisted at 51% at the end of follow-up (8 months), whereas for GB-10-BNCT it faded after 2 months. Likewise, beam-only elicited a significant but transient reduction in tumor development. No normal tissue radiotoxicity was observed. At 8 months post-treatment with BPA-BNCT or (GB-10+BPA)-BNCT, the precancerous pouches that did not develop tumors had regained the macroscopic and histological appearance of normal (non-cancerized) pouches. A potential new clinical application of BNCT would lie in its capacity to inhibit local regional recurrences.

AN - 67378312; 19380233 AB - The National Atomic Energy Commission of Argentina (CNEA) constructed a novel thermal neutron source for use in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) applications at the RA-3 research reactor facility located in Buenos Aires. The aim of the present study was to perform a dosimetric characterization of the facility and undertake radiobiological studies of BNCT in an experimental model of oral cancer in the hamster cheek pouch. The free-field thermal flux was 7.1 x 10(9) n cm(-2)s(-1) and the fast neutron flux was 2.5 x 10(6) n cm(-2)s(-1), indicating a very well-thermalized neutron field with negligible fast neutron dose. For radiobiological studies it was necessary to shield the body of the hamster from the neutron flux while exposing the everted cheek pouch bearing the tumors. To that end we developed a lithium (enriched to 95% in (6)Li) carbonate enclosure. Groups of tumor-bearing hamsters were submitted to BPA-BNCT, GB-10-BNCT, (GB-10+BPA)-BNCT or beam only treatments. Normal (non-cancerized) hamsters were treated similarly to evaluate normal tissue radiotoxicity. The total physical dose delivered to tumor with the BNCT treatments ranged from 6 to 8.5 Gy. Tumor control at 30 days ranged from 73% to 85%, with no normal tissue radiotoxicity. Significant but reversible mucositis in precancerous tissue surrounding tumors was associated to BPA-BNCT. The therapeutic success of different BNCT protocols in treating experimental oral cancer at this novel facility was unequivocally demonstrated.

AN - 67377797; 19406651 AB - A new irradiation facility has been developed in the RA-3 reactor in order to perform trials for the treatment of liver metastases using boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). RA-3 is a production research reactor that works continuously five days a week. It had a thermal column with a small cross section access tunnel that was not accessible during operation. The objective of the work was to perform the necessary modifications to obtain a facility for irradiating a portion of the human liver. This irradiation facility must be operated without disrupting the normal reactor schedule and requires a highly thermalized neutron spectrum, a thermal flux of around 10(10) n cm(-2)s(-1) that is as isotropic and uniform as possible, as well as on-line instrumentation. The main modifications consist of enlarging the access tunnel inside the thermal column to the suitable dimensions, reducing the gamma dose rate at the irradiation position, and constructing properly shielded entrance gates enabled by logical control to safely irradiate and withdraw samples with the reactor at full power. Activation foils and a neutron shielded graphite ionization chamber were used for a preliminary in-air characterization of the irradiation site. The constructed facility is very practical and easy to use. Operational authorization was obtained from radioprotection personnel after confirming radiation levels did not significantly increase after the modification. A highly thermalized and homogenous irradiation field was obtained. Measurements in the empty cavity showed a thermal flux near 10(10) n cm(-2)s(-1), a cadmium ratio of 4100 for gold foils and a gamma dose rate of approximately 5 Gy h(-1).

The purpose was to investigate the functioning of today's Automotive Service Technicians (ASTs) training in order to inform the design of an Augmented Reality (AR) teaching aid. The first part of the paper presents a literature review of some major problems encountered by ASTs today. The benefits of AR as technological aid are also introduced. Then, the methodology and the results of two case studies are presented. The first study is based on interviews with trainers and trainees; the second one on observations in real training settings. The results support the assumption that today's ASTs' training could be regarded as a community- of-practice (CoP). Therefore, AR could be useful as a collaboration tool, offering a shared virtual representation of real vehicle's parts, which are normally invisible unless dismantled (e.g. the parts of a hydraulic automatic transmission). We conclude on the methods and the technologies to support the automotive CoP.

(THIRTY-SEVENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 756826290; 13922-090218_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1, on the bank of the Susquehanna River in Londonderry Township of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 37th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The generating station lies approximately 10 miles Southeast of Harrisburg. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (original applicant and subsidiary AmeriGen Energy Company, LLC has been dissolved), nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this final supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is April 9, 2014. Unit 1 of the power station consists of a Babcock and Wilcox pressurized water reactor fueled by sintered low-enriched uranium dioxide pellets sealed in zirconium-based alloy tubing and caps. Reactor heat is transferred from the primary coolant to a lower pressure secondary coolant loop, allowing for the generation of steam. The system includes two steam generators, which power the six-flow turbine generator manufactured by General Electric. The reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The unit began commercial operation on September 2, 1974. The initial licensed core thermal power of 2,535 Megawatts-thermal (MWt) was increased to 2,568 MWt in July 1988. The circulating water cooling system withdraws water from, and discharges cooling tower blowdown to, the Susquehanna River. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission determined that preserving the option of license renewal is reasonable. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw cooling water from the Susquehanna River and deliver cooling tower blowdown water back to the river. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radio nuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace natural vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat within the affected corridors.

AN - 15224478; 13922 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1, on the bank of the Susquehanna River in Londonderry Township of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 37th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The generating station lies approximately 10 miles Southeast of Harrisburg. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (original applicant and subsidiary AmeriGen Energy Company, LLC has been dissolved), nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this final supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is April 9, 2014. Unit 1 of the power station consists of a Babcock and Wilcox pressurized water reactor fueled by sintered low-enriched uranium dioxide pellets sealed in zirconium-based alloy tubing and caps. Reactor heat is transferred from the primary coolant to a lower pressure secondary coolant loop, allowing for the generation of steam. The system includes two steam generators, which power the six-flow turbine generator manufactured by General Electric. The reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The unit began commercial operation on September 2, 1974. The initial licensed core thermal power of 2,535 Megawatts-thermal (MWt) was increased to 2,568 MWt in July 1988. The circulating water cooling system withdraws water from, and discharges cooling tower blowdown to, the Susquehanna River. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission determined that preserving the option of license renewal is reasonable. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw cooling water from the Susquehanna River and deliver cooling tower blowdown water back to the river. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radio nuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace natural vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat within the affected corridors.

(THIRTY-SIXTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36349779; 13894 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the units 1 and 2 of the Beaver Valley Power Station (BVPS) in Shippingport Borough, Beaver County, Pennsylvania is proposed to extend the licensed plant life of each unit an additional 20 years in this 36th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review for the remaining 23 issues are addressed in this supplement to the final EIS. If the licenses are renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would decide whether the plant should continue to operate the units. If the operating license is not renewed, the units 1 and 2 would be shut down on or before expiration dates of the current licenses, which are January 29, 2016 and May 27, 2027, respectively. Other alternatives to license renewal considered in this supplemental EIS include conservation and alternative methods of power generation. The BVPS, which is located within a 453-acre site on the south bank of the Ohio River at river mile 34.8, consists of two units, each equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a closed-cycle cooling system that withdraws from and discharges to the Monticello Reservoir, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. The Ohio River is the source of the makeup water to replace water lost through evaporation, cooling tower drift, and water discharged back to the river as blowdown. Each unit is rated at 2,900 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 974 MW-electric. The units 1 and 2 reactors, which were placed into service in October 1976 and November 1987, respectively, were both upgraded in 2001 and are housed in separate vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed or recycled based on waste type. Six 345-kilovolt and seven 138-kilovolt transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. The staff recommendation is that the option of license renewal for energy planning decision makers be preserved. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw water from the Ohio River and deliver blowdown water back to the river. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radio nuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

Analyses indicate that groundwater in the studied area is fresh and generally suitable for most uses. The groundwater is generally characterised by a chemical facies of Ca-HCO sub(3) super(-), Na-Cl and mixed Na-Ca-HCO sub(3) types and is weakly mineralised. Anthropogenic disturbances have had and continue to have an impact on the aquatic ecosystem of Ghana. High concentration of Cl super(-) and TDS were found in wells in high residential areas while the highest levels of Na, Ca, SO sub(4) super(2-) and NO sub(3) super(-) were found in agricultural and high density residential areas. About 50% of boreholes sampled have elevated level of NO sub(3) super(-)-N emanating from agricultural runoff.

The four geographic regions that constitute the designated areas were delineated based on: 1) past and existing uranium milling sites located within states where the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has regulatory authority; 2) potential new sites identified based on NRC's understanding of where the uranium recovery industry has plans to develop uranium deposits using ISL technology; and 3) locations of historical uranium deposits within portions of the four above-mentioned states. The NRC has undertaken this generic EIS to improve the efficiency of its environmental reviews for ISL license applications. In addition, the NRC plans to use the generic EIS, along with the applicable previous site-specific environmental review documents, in its EIS review analyses for the restart or expansion of existing facilities. Uranium milling techniques are designed to recover uranium from uranium-bearing ores. The ISL process is used to recover uranium from low-grade ores or deep deposits that are not economically recoverable by conventional mining and milling techniques. In the ISL process, a leaching agent, such as oxygen with sodium carbonate, is injected through wells into the subsurface ore body to dissolve the uranium. The leach solution is pumped from there to the surface processing plant, where ion exchange processes separate the uranium from the solution. After additional purification and drying, the uranium in the form of "yellow cake" is placed in 55-gallon drums for shipment. The foundation of the EIS assessment is based on: 1) historical operations of NRC-licensed ISL facilities and 2) the affected environment in each of the four regions. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Adopting the conclusions of this generic EIS assessment as a basis for regulatory assessment of existing and proposed ISL facilities would strengthen the reliability and streamline the process of regulatory assessments and provide a more economically effective means of dealing with the licensing process for both the NRC and the private sector applicant. Potential impacts to the environment, particularly aquifers, would be identified more readily and avoided or mitigated more effectively. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of ISL facilities would result in the disturbance and displacement of soils vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, including habitat for federally protected species; alteration of geologic structures, disturbance and potential contamination of aquifers; destruction of historic and archaeologic resource sites; and displacement of alternative land uses, such as farming and grazing. ISL facility workers would be exposed to levels of radiation above the background level. ISL facilities, which would often lie in remote, pristine areas, would significantly degrade visual aesthetics.

The idea of using two identical pendulums installed on different sides of the same axis of rotation for separate measurement of rotational and translational motion was apparently first suggested by Golitzin (1912). It was implemented by Kharin and Simonov (1969) in an instrument designed to record strong ground motion (VBPP--a seismograph of large translational motions and rotations). Unfortunately, difficulty in building identical mechanical systems resulted in unreliable measurements of the rotational component. We modified Golitzin's idea by using the same configuration of pendulums (a two-pendulum system) without the requirement that the pendulums be identical (Graizer et al., 1989). Instead of building two identical pendulums, one needs to calibrate the instrument to obtain the natural parameters of each pendulum and apply postprocessing to separate the rotational and translational motions. The two-pendulum system for separate measurements of large amplitude rotations was implemented at the end of the 1980s at the Institute of the Physics of the Earth in Moscow, Russia, using commercially available pendulum instruments. The system was tested using a basic shake table and later successfully applied to measurements in the near field of two large underground nuclear explosions. In this article I updated and generalized the approach to measuring translational and large amplitude rotational motion formulated in previous publications (Graizer, 1989; Graizer et al., 1989). Numerical testing demonstrated that using a combination of pendulums for measuring rotations may be limited for recording relatively large amplitudes of rotations of the order of 10 (super -4) and higher for the two-pendulum system of about 100 cm size.

An ongoing critical area of concern is the nature and magnitude of the thermal interaction of magma with tunnel walls, high-level nuclear waste packages, and waste forms. Previous assessments consider a variety of dynamic scenarios, but large uncertainties remain in understanding the rheological nature of the magma likely to be involved and its behavior within a repository drift. Here we specifically address the issue of magma rheology during degassing, cooling, and solidification as basaltic magma approaches Earth's surface and enters a drift. Magma containing significant amounts (> nearly equal 2 wt.%) of dissolved water (Wet Magma), as is anticipated for this region, at or near its liquidus temperature and saturated with water at 200 MPa is at a temperature near or below the 1-atm solidus temperature. Isentropic ascent from this near liquidus temperature promotes extensive solidification and/or glassification. Exsolving water with approach to the surface promotes rapid vesiculation leading to fragmentation and tephra production. With continued ascent the still water-saturated magma traverses the solidification phase field and undergoes a combination of rapid crystallization and quenching, becoming a glassy highly viscous ( nearly equal 10 (super 8) Pa s) mass of greatly reduced mobility. This immobility is reflected in the high effective viscosity regulating flows from nearby cinder cones associated with wet basalt. This also matches well with the experimentally determined rheology of dry basalt glass. This rheology greatly restricts the mobility of basalt within repository drifts, amounting to <10 m per day. Magma in this state quenches rapidly ( nearly equal 10 cm/min) on waste packages. Wet basalt is explosive, but relatively immobile as lava. Dry Magma is not explosive, but highly mobile as lava. Previous studies have tended to use an inconsistent set of mixed magma properties involving both extremes. The net effect of our results is that the portion of a repository hypothetically affected by invading magma is likely to be minimal and the number of waste packages affected may be very small. Moreover, the waste packages and/or waste materials affected will most likely be encased in quenched magma.

In this cardinal configuration horizontal and vertical sensors differ in their construction because of the gravitational acceleration affecting the vertical sensor. An alternative sensor arrangement was first introduced by Galperin (1955) for petroleum exploration. In this arrangement three identical sensors are also positioned orthogonally to each other but are tilted at the same angle of 54.7 degrees to the vertical axis (an orthogonal triaxial system of coordinates balanced on its corner). Records obtained using this sensor configuration must be rotated into an Earth referenced cardinal X, Y, Z coordinate system for most analyses. A number of recent seismological instruments (e.g., STS-2 and Trillium seismometers) use Galperin sensor configuration. In most seismological studies it is assumed that the rotational components of earthquake ground motion are small enough to be neglected. However, examples of significant rotational components have been noted (e.g., Bouchon and Aki, 1982; Graizer, 1991; Takeo, 1998; Huang, 2003; Zahradnik and Plesinger, 2005; Cochard et al., 2006; Graizer, 2006a; Schreiber et al., 2006; Spudich and Fletcher, 2008). The response of pendulums when installed in a cardinal configuration to input motions that include rotations has been studied in a number of publications (Golitzin, 1912; Rodgers, 1968; Wong and Trifunac, 1977; Graizer, 1991; Todorovska, 1998; Trifunac and Todorovska, 2001; Graizer, 2005, 2006b; Graizer and Kalkan, 2008). This article considers the response to input motions of pendulums in a Galperin sensor configuration as well as the resulting cardinal orientation system response. Given the benefits of identical designs for all three sensors in a Galperin configuration, this geometry may be useful for strong-motion measurements as well. The disadvantage of this sensor configuration is that if any of the sensors is not working properly or there are misalignments of sensor axes, then all three cardinal components are degraded.

The effect that age at harvest had on selected physicochemical properties indicative of gari quality was studied in the four varieties. The parameters studied include moisture content, ash, pH, titratable acidity (% lactic acid), crude fibre, swelling capacity and yield. Moisture was between 9.54 - 11.57% while ash was between 0.88 - 1.39%. Titratable acidity was between 0.85 - 1.62% while pH ranged between 3.58 and 4.21. Swelling capacity was slightly below 3 while yield ranged between 12 and 26%. The four principal components identified were dry matter, extent of fermentation, starch content and elemental composition of the gari. Age at harvest significantly affected (p < 0.05) moisture, pH and bulk density of the gari samples. Varietal effect was not significant.

The regulatory and controlling national authority on organ, tissue and cells for transplantation activity is the National Unique Coordinating Central Institute for Ablation and Implant (INCUCAI). Three tissue banks were established under the IAEA program and nine other banks participated actively in the implementation of this program. As result of the implementation of the IAEA program in Argentina and the work done by the established tissue banks, more and more hospitals are now using, in a routine manner, radiation sterilised tissues processed by these banks. During the period 1992-2005, more than 21 016 tissues were produced and irradiated in the tissue banks participating in the IAEA program. Within the framework of the training component of the IAEA program, Argentina has been selected to host the Regional Training Centre for Latin American. In this centre, tissue bank operators and medical personal from Latin American countries were trained. Since 1999, Argentina has organised four regular regional training courses and two virtual regional training courses. More than twenty (20) tissue bank operators and medical personnel from Argentina were trained under the IAEA program in the six courses organised in the country.

Insights and information from this program will be useful in decision making by NRC staff, licensees and stakeholders in their assessment of ground-water flow and subsurface radionuclide transport. All analytical methods that quantify ground-water flow and radionuclide transport in the environment implicitly involve different levels of model abstraction. Our formalized model abstraction process provides a systematic approach for understanding the adequacy of model simplification and facilitating communication and transparency of the model to regulators, stakeholders and the general public. The objectives of model abstraction are: to improve the reliability and reduce uncertainty of simulations; to make the modeling results more explicable and transparent; and to enable more efficient use of available resources in data collection and computation. The coupling of model abstraction to uncertainty assessments uses a streamlined methodology that focuses on conceptual, parameter and scenario uncertainties within a model abstraction framework. Both the model abstraction process and the streamlined methodology are demonstrated using a simple field study analysis involving ground-water flow.

However, no clear clinical symptoms have been observed among the exposed population. Hence a question arose as to whether uranium speciation could be one reason for the lack of significant adverse health effects. Uranium species were determined using time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. We performed multi-element chemical analyses in these water samples, and predictive calculations were carried out using up-to-date thermodynamic data. The results indicated good agreement between measurements and modeling. The low toxicity of Finnish bedrock water may be due to the predominance of two calcium-dependent species, Ca2UO2(CO3)3(aq) and CaUO2(CO3)32-, whose nontoxicity for cells has been described previously. This interdisciplinary study describes chemical speciation of drinking water with elevated uranium concentrations and the potential consequence on health. From these results, it appears that modeling could be used for a better understanding of uranium toxicity of drinking water in the event of contamination.

This paper reports field measurements of soil hydraulic properties under two drip irrigation treatments, full (FT) and limited (LT). The objective was to identify the temporal variability of the hydraulic properties of field soil under high-frequency water application during a maize cropping season. Soil hydraulics were characterized using the Beerkan infiltration method. Seven sets of infiltration measurements were taken for each irrigation treatment during the cropping season between June and September 2007. The first set was measured two weeks before the first irrigation event. The results demonstrated that both soil porosity and hydraulic properties changed over time. These temporal changes occurred in two distinct stages. The first stage lasted from the first irrigation event until the root system was well established. During this stage, soil porosity was significantly affected by the first irrigation event, resulting in a decrease in both the saturated hydraulic conductivity K (sub s) and the mean pore effective radius xi (sub m) and in an increase in capillary length alpha (sub h) . These hydraulic parameters reached their extreme values at the end of this stage. This behavior was explained by the "hydraulic" compaction of the surface soil following irrigation. During the second stage, there was a gradual increase in both K (sub s) and xi (sub m) and a gradual decrease in alpha (sub h) when the effect of irrigation was overtaken by other phenomena. The latter was put down to the effects of wetting and drying cycles, soil biological activity and the effects of the root system, which could be asymmetric as a result of irrigation with only one drip line installed for every two plant rows. The processes that affected soil hydraulic properties in the two irrigation treatments were similar. No significant change in xi (sub m) and alpha (sub h) was observed between FT and LT. However, as a result of daily wetting and drying cycles, which were strongest in LT, the soil in this treatment was found to be more conductive than that of FT. This showed that most of the changes in pore-size distribution occurred in the larger fraction of pores. The impact of these temporal changes on the dimensions of the wetting bulb was studied using a simplified modeling approach. Our results showed that there were marked differences in the computed width and depth of wetting bulb when model input parameters measured before and after irrigation were used. A temporal increase in capillary length led to a more horizontally elongated wetting bulb. This could improve both watering and fertilization of the root zone and reduce losses due to deep percolation. As a practical result of this study, in order to mitigate agro-environmental risks we recommend applying fertilizers after the restructuration of tilled soil. Further studies using improved models accounting for temporal changes in soil hydraulic properties are needed.

Computational results are then compared with experimental measurements. Fuel grids and cooling coil models are incorporated in the model too. Radiating energy from the clad is taken into account in the energy balance in the reactor. The pool is divided into three sections in the model. The effect of the cooling coil of the pool upper section on reactor thermal-hydraulic parameters is discussed. The only input parameter of the reactor is the power temporal distribution. Good agreement between calculated and measured data was obtained.

The method is based on the fact that all parallel branches are always under the same voltage; in particular, the open circuit voltage is the same for the cell as a whole as well as for each of the two diodes. With the help of the parameters of each diode and its share in the cell short circuit current, its light I-V characteristic can be drawn, and its individual fill factor calculated. Furthermore, the method suggests a way to estimate the cell fill factor with the help of the individual fill factors. The application of the method is carried out on experimental data of a ZnO/CdS/CuGaSe sub(2) single crystal solar cell.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, LUZERNE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA (THIRTY-FIFTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 873126172; 13820-5_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for units 1 and 2 of the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, located approximately five miles northeast of Berwick in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania is proposed to extend the licensed plant life of each unit for an additional 20 years in this 35th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, PPL Susquehanna, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration dates of the current licenses, which occurs on January July 17, 2022 for Unit 1 and March 23, 2024 for Unit 2. The generating facility lies within in a 115-acre site in a largely rural area. Each unit consists of generator equipped with a nuclear four-loop steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a boiling water reactor, a closed-cycle cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Susquehanna River, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. Each unit is rated at 3,439 megawatts (MW-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 1,135 MW-electric. PPL Susquehanna has recently received approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a power uprate license amendment that will allow the operator to increase each reactor's power output to 3,952 MW-thermal, with a comparable increase in net generation to 1,300 MW-electric. Unit housing consists of vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with a steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Power generated by the generating facility is transmitted to the regional power grid by three short 230-kilovolt (kV) lines, a longer 230-kV line extending 30 miles to the Lackawanna substation, and two 500-kV lines, one extending 76 miles to Alburtis substation located three miles southwest of Allentown and the other extending 44 miles to a substation in Sunbury. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Susquehanna River and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the river from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace 6,300 acres of hardwood forests and the associated wildlife habitat within the affected corridors.

AN - 36349603; 13820 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for units 1 and 2 of the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, located approximately five miles northeast of Berwick in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania is proposed to extend the licensed plant life of each unit for an additional 20 years in this 35th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, PPL Susquehanna, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration dates of the current licenses, which occurs on January July 17, 2022 for Unit 1 and March 23, 2024 for Unit 2. The generating facility lies within in a 115-acre site in a largely rural area. Each unit consists of generator equipped with a nuclear four-loop steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a boiling water reactor, a closed-cycle cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Susquehanna River, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. Each unit is rated at 3,439 megawatts (MW-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 1,135 MW-electric. PPL Susquehanna has recently received approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a power uprate license amendment that will allow the operator to increase each reactor's power output to 3,952 MW-thermal, with a comparable increase in net generation to 1,300 MW-electric. Unit housing consists of vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with a steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Power generated by the generating facility is transmitted to the regional power grid by three short 230-kilovolt (kV) lines, a longer 230-kV line extending 30 miles to the Lackawanna substation, and two 500-kV lines, one extending 76 miles to Alburtis substation located three miles southwest of Allentown and the other extending 44 miles to a substation in Sunbury. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Susquehanna River and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the river from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace 6,300 acres of hardwood forests and the associated wildlife habitat within the affected corridors. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

In the first, which occurred in Oakland in what is commonly known as the 'MacArthur Maze' section of Interstate 580 (I-580), a tractor trailer carrying gasoline impacted an overpass support column and burst into flames. The subsequent fire burned for over 2 h and led to the collapse of the overpass due to the loss of strength in the structural steel that supported the overpass. The second incident was a chain reaction accident involving several tractor trailers in the 1-5 'Newhall Pass' truck bypass tunnel in Santa Clarita. This accident also involved an intense fire that damaged the tunnel and required the closing of the tunnel for repairs to the concrete walls. The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is studying both these accidents to examine any potential regulatory implications related to the safe transport of radioactive materials including spent nuclear fuel in the United States. This paper will discuss the details of the MacArthur Maze fire investigation. The NRC's investigation of the Newhall Pass fire is ongoing and the results are not available for publication.

In this context, a method has been proposed by Hall et al. focusing on the generating of typical data, and improving the criterion for final selection of typical meteorological month (TMM). The final selection of the most representative year was done by examining a composite score S, which was calculated as the weighed sum of the scores for the four used meteorological parameters. These parameters were air dry-bulb temperature, relative humidity, wind velocity and global solar radiation intensity. This work reports a new modern software tool using Delphi 6.0 utilizing the Filkenstein-Schafer statistical method for the creation of a typical meteorological year for any site of concern. Whereas, an improved criterion for final selection of typical meteorological month was employed. Such tool allows the user to perform this task without an intimate knowledge of all of the computational details. Using this software tool, a typical meteorological year was generated for Damascus, capital of Syria, as a test run for example. The data processed used were obtained from the Department of Meteorology and cover a period of 10 years (1991-2000).

Combining predictions using various independent models, often called multimodel prediction, is becoming a popular modeling technique. The objective of this study was to compare different methods of multimodel simulation of the field soil water regime using pedotransfer functions (PTFs). We solved the Richards flow equation using HYDRUS-1D with parameter sets derived from 19 published PTFs and compared different methods of combining the simulation results from the 19 individual models by (i) using only the best model, (ii) using equal weights, (iii) regressing measured values to the results of the individual models, (iv) using singular-value decomposition (SVD) in the regression, (v) using Bayesian model averaging, and (vi) using weights derived from Akaike criteria. Data on soil water contents and basic soil properties at five depths along a 6-m transect in a layered loamy soil were used to calibrate the Richards equation and to develop the input for the PTFs. The SVD multimodel was the best method, with an accuracy of about 0.01 m (super 3) m (super -3) at the 35-cm depth and about 0.005 m (super 3) m (super -3) at greater depths for 30 d of monitoring and 13 mo of testing. This indicates that multimodeling in combination with monitoring of the soil water regime can be a viable approach to simulating water flow in the vadose zone.

16181617 AB - The aim of the present study was to evaluate the biocompatibility and bone mineralization potential of 45S5 Bioglass registered -derived glass-ceramic scaffolds using a chick embryo shell-less (ex ovo) culture system. Chick embryos were divided into two groups: control (C) and experimental (E). Scaffolds were placed on the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) in embryos of group E at 10 days of total incubation. The 45S5 Bioglass registered -derived glass-ceramic scaffolds proved to be biocompatible in terms of the absence of inflammatory response at the implant site (CAM). Moreover, no alterations in the other end-points assessed, i.e. survival, stage of embryonic development and body weight, were detected. However, body length was greater in group E embryos than in group C embryos (p a[copy1/2 0.05). A marked reduction (93%) in Ca content in the scaffolds was evidenced by energy-dispersive X-ray analysis at 5 days post-implantation. Calcium release from the scaffold implanted on the CAM might have been responsible for the restoration of the bone-like phenotype in chick embryonic skeleton of group E as detected by Alcian blue-Alizarin red double staining, as well as by histological and microchemical analyses. Conversely, the control embryos exhibited a chondrogenic phenotype.

Since they harbor an aragonitic shell, they could be very sensitive to ocean acidification driven by the increase of anthropogenic CO (sub 2) emissions. The impact of changes in the carbonate chemistry was investigated on Limacina helicina, a key species of Arctic ecosystems. Pteropods were kept in culture under controlled pH conditions corresponding to pCO (sub 2) levels of 350 and 760 mu atm. Calcification was estimated using a fluorochrome and the radioisotope (super 45) Ca. It exhibits a 28% decrease at the pH value expected for 2100 compared to the present pH value. This result supports the concern for the future of pteropods in a high-CO (sub 2) world, as well as of those species dependent upon them as a food resource. A decline of their populations would likely cause dramatic changes to the structure, function and services of polar ecosystems.

With the increase of the irradiation dose Mw of irradiated products was reduced and the dose was correlated with the molecular weight distribution of degraded products. The new bands appeared at 265 nm and 1709cm super(-1) in UV and FTIR spectra of irradiated alginate suggested that the scission was accompanied by side reactions leading to the formation of carbonyl groups. The chemical analysis proved the increase of carboxyl groups and reduction of reducing groups of irradiated alginate.

The predominant basement rocks in the province are 2.1-2.0 Ga Transamazonian gneisses of both juvenile and reworked nature. U-Pb zircon and Sm-Nd whole-rock studies of tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite basement gneisses in the NW Ceara or Medio Coreau domain in the northwestern part of the Borborema Province indicate that this represents a continental fragment formed by 2.35-2.30 Ga juvenile crust. This block has no apparent genetic affinity with any other basement gneisses in the Borborema Province, and it does not represent the tectonized margin of the c. 2.1-2.0 Ga Sao Luis Craton to the NW. The petrological and geochemical characteristics, as well as the Nd-isotopic signatures of these gneisses, are consistent with their genesis in an island arc setting. This finding documents a period of crustal growth during a period of the Earth's history which is known for its tectonic quiescence and paucity of crust formation.

Our observation demonstrated that tetracycline resistant gene can be spread between bacteria in the aquatic environment. In this study, it was surprisingly observed that tetracycline resistant gene was transferable horizontally by conjugation process from Vibrio cholerae to Esherichia coli (intergenic) and E. coli to E. coli (intragenic) in combination with sulphamethoxazole-trimethoprim (SXT), streptomycin and erythromycin as a self transposable tetracycline element. In intergenic transfer, conjugation frequency was more than intragenic transfer. Frequencies of transfer generally ranged from 10 super(-5) to 10 super(-3) transconjugants per input donor and recipient cell. The results of these experiments suggested that the mobility of the antibiotic resistance determinants may further contribute to the development and spread of antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria, particularly since antibiotics are indiscriminately used in Bangladesh.

Of these, 147 isolates were analyzed and 103 were identified by different biochemical tests as well as stereotyped with specific antiserum. Sixty five percent of these isolates were identified as Escherichia coli which were resistant to multiple drugs including tetracycline, nalidixic acid, kanamycin, streptomycin and sulphamethoxazole-trimethoprim. The remaining thirty five percent of the isolates were Vibrio cholerae, Pseudomonas, Aeromonas, Staphylococcus and Klebsiella. Most of the V. cholerae were nalidixic acid, streptomycin and sulphamethoxazole-trimethoprim resistant. Almost 90% of nalidixic acid resistant V. cholera were stereotyped as non O1. The remaining 10% were O1 and O139. All bacteria were used to isolate plasmid DNA to compare plasmid patterns. The plasmid contents of representative drug resistant strains were analyzed by electroporation to determine the location of antibiotic resistant gene whether it was chromosomal or extrachromosomal. The results of these experiments suggested that Bangladeshi environmental water including rivers, lakes and ponds contained a large number of multiple antibiotic resistant bacteria and almost all antibiotic resistant determinants were located in the chromosome instead of plasmid.

[Part 3 of 3] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNITS NOS. 2 AND 3, UPPER WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NEW YORK. (THIRTY-EIGHTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 873125323; 13681-3_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Station, units 2 and 3, in the village of Buchanan in upper Westchester County, New York is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 38th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 Environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to Environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration dates for the current licenses, which September 28, 2013, and December 12, 2015, for units 2 and 3, respectively. The power station, which is located within in a 239-acre site on the east bank of the Hudson River at river mile 43 about 24 miles north of New York City. Both units employ pressurized-water reactors and four-loop nuclear steam supply systems. Each loop contains a reactor coolant pump and a steam generator. The reactor coolant system transfers the heat generated in the reactor core to the steam generators, which produce steam to drive turbine generators. Unit 2 is currently licensed to operate at a core power of 3,216 megawatts-thermal (MW(t)), which results in a turbine generator output of 11,078 MW-electric (MW(e)). Unit 3 is currently licensed to operate at 3,216-MW(t), which results in a turbine generator output of 1,080 MW(e). Primary and secondary cooling is provided by a once-through cooling water intake system that withdraws water from the Hudson River via two shoreline intake structures, one for each unit. After moving through the condensers, cooling water is discharged to the river through a canal via six 96-inch-diameter pipes. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Two 345-kV transmission lines, extending a total of 4,000 feet, connect the units to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Hudson River and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace natural vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat within the affected corridors.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - COMBINED LICENSE FOR NORTH ANNA POWER STATION, UNIT 3, MINERAL, VIRGINIA (SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT). AN - 756825332; 13676-080538_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a combined operating license for the construction and operation of a new nuclear reactor and associated turbine generation facilities at the North Anna Power Station (NAPS) near Mineral, Virginia are proposed. On November 27, 2007, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued an Early Site Permit (ESP-003; NUREG-1811) to Dominion Nuclear North Anna, LLC. And ESP certifies that a site has been approved as suitable for construction and operation of one or more new nuclear units On the same day the ESP was issued, the applicant, Dominion Nuclear North Anna, LLC, submitted an application for a combined license for the NAPS ESP site. The license would allow the construction of one or more nuclear power facilities. Dominion Virginia Power and Old Dominion Electric Cooperative currently own NAPS as tenants in common, including the existing units 1 and 2 and an independent spent fuel storage installation. The common tenants, who are also the licensed operators of the units, now propose, via the applicant, to own and operate the new Unit 3 as a component of the same ownership arrangement created for units 1 and 2. The 1,043-acre NAPS site is situated on a peninsula on the southern shore of Lake Anna, approximately five miles upstream of the Lake Anna Dam. The Unit 3 site lies adjacent to the existing units and wholly within the existing NAPS site, which is located in Louisa County, approximately six miles northeast of Mineral. Unit 3 would employ a 4,500-megawatt-thermal (MW(t)) boiling water reactor fueled by slightly enriched uranium (i.e., a five percent maximum concentration of uranium-235) and operate at an estimated gross electrical power output of approximately 1,605 MW-electric (MW(e)) and an estimated net electrical power output of between 1,425 MW(e) and 1,510 MW(e). The unit would be cooled by a closed-cycle, combination wet and dry cooling tower system, Makeup water for the circulating system and service water cooling system would be withdrawn from Lake Anna, and blowdown water from the cooling systems would be discharged to the existing plant discharge canal for return to the lake. The facility would use liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. The additional power generated by the NAPS would require the construction of a new 500-kilovolt transmission line and expansion of the existing station switchyard to the north to accommodate additional 230-kV electrical bays. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Issuance of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers, particularly with respect to base-load generating capacity. The new unit would NAPS site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The consumption of Lake Anna water by the NAPS would increase, and the thermal plume crated by release of cooling tower blowdown back into the lake would continue increase the extent of the thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace natural vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat within the affected corridors.

[Part 2 of 2] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING FACILITY, BURKE COUNTY, GEORGIA (THIRTY-FOURTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 756825021; 13660-080522_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for units 1 and 2 of the Vogtle Electric Generating Facility, located on the southwest side of the Savannah River 15 miles west-southwest of Waynesboro in Burke County, Georgia is proposed to extend the licensed plant life of each unit for an additional 20 years in this 34th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc., nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this final supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration dates of the current licenses, which occurs on January 16, 2027 for Unit 1 and February 9, 2029 for Unit 2. The electric generating facility lies within in a 3,169-acre site in a largely rural area. Each unit consists of generator equipped with a nuclear four-loop steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a closed-cycle cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Savannah River, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. Each unit is rated at 3,565 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 1,232 MW-electric. Unit housing consists of vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with a steel liners. The units are operated on an 18-month refueling cycle. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. The facility is connected to the regional power grid via two 500-kilovolt (kV0 and five 230-kV transmission lines contained within five rights-of-way. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Savannah River and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the river from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace natural vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat within the affected corridors.

If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration dates of the current licenses, which occurs on January 16, 2027 for Unit 1 and February 9, 2029 for Unit 2. The electric generating facility lies within in a 3,169-acre site in a largely rural area. Each unit consists of generator equipped with a nuclear four-loop steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a closed-cycle cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Savannah River, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. Each unit is rated at 3,565 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 1,232 MW-electric. Unit housing consists of vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with a steel liners. The units are operated on an 18-month refueling cycle. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. The facility is connected to the regional power grid via two 500-kilovolt (kV0 and five 230-kV transmission lines contained within five rights-of-way. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Savannah River and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the river from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace natural vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat within the affected corridors.

(THIRTY-SEVENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 756825210; 13755-080503_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1, in the on the bank of the Susquehanna River in Londonderry Township of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 37th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The generating station lies approximately 10 miles Southeast of Harrisburg. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, AmeriGen Energy Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues.

If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is April 9, 2014. Unit 1 of the power station consists a Babcock and Wilcox pressurized water reactor fueled by sintered low-enriched uranium dioxide pellets sealed in zirconium-based alloy tubing and caps. Reactor heat is transferred from the primary coolant to a lower pressure secondary coolant loop, allowing for the generation of steam. The system includes two steam generators, which power the six-flow turbine generator manufactured by General Electric. The reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The unit began commercial operation on September 2, 1974. The initial licensed for thermal power of 2,535 Megawatts-thermal (MWt) was increased to 2,568 MWt in July 1988. The circulating water cooling system withdraws water from, and discharges cooling tower blowdown to, the Susquehanna River. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Ten transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers.

AN - 20375875; 9052612 AB - In February 2006, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) published the results of a 3-5-year study, titled Going the Distance, which examined the safety of transporting spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high level waste (HLW) in the United States. NAS initiated this study to address what it perceived to be a national need for an independent, objective and authoritative analysis of SNF and HLW transport in the United States. The study was cosponsored by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the US Department of Energy, the US Department of Transportation, the Electric Power Research Institute and the National Cooperative Highway Research Program. This paper addresses some of the recommendations made in the NAS study related to the performance of SNF transportation packages in long duration fires, the use of full scale package testing, and the need for an independent review of transportation security prior to the commencement of large scale shipping campaigns to an interim storage site or geologic repository.

AN - 69685588; 18406518 AB - Groundwater and river water samples were collected from the study area to investigate the spatial distribution of nitrate (NO(3)(-)) in the central-west region of Bangladesh. The shallow and deep groundwater nitrate concentrations ranged from <0.10 to 75.12 and <0.10 to 40.78 mg/L, respectively. Major river water NO(3)(-) concentrations were ranged from 0.98 to 2.32 mg/L with an average of 1.8 mg/L. The average Cl(-)/NO(3)(-) ratio (4.9) of major river water has been considered as reference point to delineate denitrification processes. The alluvial fan, alluvial, deltaic and coastal deposits shallow groundwater having C1(-)/NO(3)(-) values less than that of the average river water value (4.9), suggested denitrification processes within the aquifers. On the other hand, denitrification processes are insignificant in the Pleistocene terraces area aquifers related to relatively higher concentrations of nitrate. Iron pyrite has been found as insignificant effect on denitrification.

AN - 756825272; 13741-080489_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The decommissioning and/or long-term stewardship of the West Valley Demonstration Project at the Western New York Nuclear Service Center (WNYNSC) in Cattaraugus County, New York are proposed. This document constitutes a revision of the draft EIS of January 1996 on the implementation of a plan for the closure or long-term management of the, which is located 30 miles southeast of Buffalo. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (ERDA) holds title to and manages the WNYNSC. The WNYNSC contains a reprocessing facility that operated from 1966 to 1972 and produced 600,000 gallons of liquid high-level radioactive waste. The WNYNSC also contains two radioactive waste disposal areas: a 15-acre disposal area that operated from 1963 to 1975 and a five-acre area that operated from 1966 to 1986. In 1980, the Department of Energy (DOE) assumed management of the former reprocessing facility, the five-acre disposal area, the high-level radioactive waste tanks, waste lagoons, and aboveground waste storage areas. ERDA retained responsibility for the balance of the WNYNSC, including the 15-acre disposal area. This revised draft EIS considers alternatives for completing DOE decontamination and decommissioning activities and providing for ERDA's closure or long-term management of the site. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative IV), were considered in the January 1996 draft EIS. Alternative I would remove existing facilities, including buried waste, so there would be minimal remnants of nuclear operations. Alternative II would also remove existing facilities with the exception of some wastes that would continue to be stored on-site. Alternative III would fix in place or stabilize contaminated structures and buried wastes, remove uncontaminated structures, and place low-level wastes in an on-premises disposal facility. Alternative IV would manage the site as is and provide long-term management and maintenance. Alternative V would discontinue operations and leave the site without undertaking any closure actions. This revised draft EIS identified a new preferred removal. Phase 1 of the currently preferred Alternative would include removal of foundations, slabs or pads, the main plant process building, the source of the north plateau groundwater pulse, and certain lagoons; Phase 1 would require up to 30 years. Phase 2 would complete decommissioning or long-term stewardship decision making according to the approach determined most appropriate during Phase 1 evaluation. In addition to the preferred Alternative, the revised draft considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Closure of the facility would reduce long-term maintenance requirements and costs, and improve public safety. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Plans to transport radioactive waste would expose workers to radiation. Public health and safety would be seriously threatened in the unlikely event of a transportation accident.

[Part 4 of 6] T2 - DECOMMISSIONING AND/OR LONG-TERM STEWARDSHIP OF THE WEST VALLEY DEMONSTRATION PROJECT AND WESTERN NEW YORK NUCLEAR SERVICE CENTER, CATTARAUGUS COUNTY, NEW YORK (REVISED DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT). AN - 756825174; 13741-080489_0004 AB - PURPOSE: The decommissioning and/or long-term stewardship of the West Valley Demonstration Project at the Western New York Nuclear Service Center (WNYNSC) in Cattaraugus County, New York are proposed. This document constitutes a revision of the draft EIS of January 1996 on the implementation of a plan for the closure or long-term management of the, which is located 30 miles southeast of Buffalo. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (ERDA) holds title to and manages the WNYNSC. The WNYNSC contains a reprocessing facility that operated from 1966 to 1972 and produced 600,000 gallons of liquid high-level radioactive waste. The WNYNSC also contains two radioactive waste disposal areas: a 15-acre disposal area that operated from 1963 to 1975 and a five-acre area that operated from 1966 to 1986. In 1980, the Department of Energy (DOE) assumed management of the former reprocessing facility, the five-acre disposal area, the high-level radioactive waste tanks, waste lagoons, and aboveground waste storage areas. ERDA retained responsibility for the balance of the WNYNSC, including the 15-acre disposal area. This revised draft EIS considers alternatives for completing DOE decontamination and decommissioning activities and providing for ERDA's closure or long-term management of the site. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative IV), were considered in the January 1996 draft EIS. Alternative I would remove existing facilities, including buried waste, so there would be minimal remnants of nuclear operations. Alternative II would also remove existing facilities with the exception of some wastes that would continue to be stored on-site. Alternative III would fix in place or stabilize contaminated structures and buried wastes, remove uncontaminated structures, and place low-level wastes in an on-premises disposal facility. Alternative IV would manage the site as is and provide long-term management and maintenance. Alternative V would discontinue operations and leave the site without undertaking any closure actions. This revised draft EIS identified a new preferred removal. Phase 1 of the currently preferred Alternative would include removal of foundations, slabs or pads, the main plant process building, the source of the north plateau groundwater pulse, and certain lagoons; Phase 1 would require up to 30 years. Phase 2 would complete decommissioning or long-term stewardship decision making according to the approach determined most appropriate during Phase 1 evaluation. In addition to the preferred Alternative, the revised draft considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Closure of the facility would reduce long-term maintenance requirements and costs, and improve public safety. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Plans to transport radioactive waste would expose workers to radiation. Public health and safety would be seriously threatened in the unlikely event of a transportation accident.

AN - 69516735; 18513978 AB - Surface water from Miri Lake and groundwater from around Kadugli (West-Central Sudan) obtained by means of hand-pumps was analysed for (238)U, (226)Ra, (222)Rn, and (232)Th activity concentrations. The surface water showed very low levels of radionuclide concentrations: <1.0-7.5, 8.5-16.5, <1.6, and <0.1-0.39 mBq L(-1) for (238)U, (226)Ra, (222)Rn, and (232)Th, respectively. Groundwater revealed a significant amount of natural radioactivity (16.1-1720, 7.7-14.3, 3000-139,000, <0.1-39 mBq L(-1)) respectively. The overall annual effective dose was below the WHO reference dose level of 0.1 mSv yr(-1) except in one groundwater sample with an associated dose of 0.7 mSv yr(-1).

The developed MERSAT model consists of detailed description for the primary loop including reactor core, bypass, reactor pool, main pump and coupling valve. The developed model is verified through the simulation of the steady state operation at the nominal power of 5MW. According to the safety significance of postulated initiating events two selected design basis accidents corresponding to loss of flow accident (LOFA) with reactor scram and reactivity insertion accident (RIA) without scram have been analyzed. The results of LOFA simulation demonstrate the phenomena of flow reversal characterizing the flow turnaround from forced downward to natural upward circulation. The prevailing natural circulation after the flow reversal guarantees the removal of residual decay heat. The maximum clad temperature of the hot channel reaches its maximum of about 73 super(o)C after 35s after the initiation of the transient. The step reactivity insertion of 2mk leads to increasing the reactor power up to 1.7 times the nominal value. Consequently, the maximum clad temperature of hot channel reaches about 99 super(o)C which is still far below the onset of subcooled boiling. Hence, the established thermal hydraulic conditions ensure a considerable safety margin even if the reactor protection system should fail to shutdown the reactor 400s after the begin of the reactivity insertion event. The results of LOFA and RIA demonstrate the safety features of IEA-R1 under the investigated conditions. In both cases the thermal hydraulic design limits have not been exceeded. However, for the RIA case the maximum clad temperature exceeds the limit of 95 super(o)C being chosen as operation criteria for limiting corrosion on the surface of the fuel elements.

Graphite strength is affected by the direction of alignment of the constituent coke particles, which is dictated by the forming method, coke particle size, and the size, shape, and orientation distribution of pores in the structure. In this paper, a Weibull failure probability analysis for components is presented using the American Society of Testing Materials strength specification for nuclear grade graphites for core components in advanced high-temperature gas-cooled reactors. The risk of rupture (probability of fracture) and survival probability (reliability) of large graphite blocks are calculated for varying and discrete values of service tensile stresses. The limitations in these calculations are discussed from considerations of actual reactor environmental conditions that could potentially degrade the specification properties because of damage due to complex interactions between irradiation, temperature, stress, and variability in reactor operation.

AN - 69427155; 18547812 AB - The codes WIMSD/4 and BORGES--part of the MTR-PC code package--have been applied to prepare the microscopic cross-section library for the main elements of miniature neutron source reactor (MNSR) core for six neutron energy groups. The generated library has been utilized by the 3D code CITATION to perform the calculation of fuel burn-up including the identification of main fission products and their impacts on the multiplication factor. In this regard some modifications have been introduced to the subroutine NUCY in CITATION to incorporate estimating the concentration of the related actinides and fission products. The burn-up results have indicated that the core life-time of MNSR is being mainly estimated by Sm(149) followed by Gd(157) and Cd(113). The accumulation of these fission products during 100 continuous operation days caused a reduction of about 4.3 mk for the excess reactivity. This result seems to be in good agreement with the available empirical value of 3.5 mk, which relates to the whole discontinuous operation period of the reactor since its start up to now. The calculation procedure simulates the sporadic operation with an equivalent continuous operation period. This approximation is valid for the long-lived fission products that mainly dictate the core life-time. However, it is an overestimation for the concentration of short-lived radioactive products like Xe(135).

No cure or preventive treatments are available to date to alleviate neurodegeneration. Recent studies have demonstrated that RNAi represents a promising approach for the treatment of autosomal dominant disorders such as HD. But whether an allele-specific silencing of mutant htt or a global silencing could be considered has not previously been addressed and represents a critical issue toward clinical development. Here, we confirm the therapeutic potential of sihtt administered with lentiviral vectors and showed that initiation of siRNA treatment after the onset of HD symptoms is still efficacious and reduce the HD-like pathology in rodent. We then address the question of the impact of global silencing and demonstrated that silencing of endogenous htt to 25-35% in vivo is altering several pathways associated with known htt functions but is not inducing overt toxicity or increasing striatal vulnerability up to 9 months post-treatment. These data indicate that the coincident silencing of the wild-type and mutant htt might be considered as a therapeutic tool for HD.

(THIRTY-SIXTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 1 of 2] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, SHIPPINGPORT BOROUGH, BEAVER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. (THIRTY-SIXTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 756825022; 13619-080393_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the units 1 and 2 of the Beaver Valley Power Station (BVPS) in Shippingport Borough, Beaver County, Pennsylvania is proposed to extend the licensed plant life of each unit an additional 20 years in this 36th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the licenses are renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate the units; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units 1 and 2 would be shut down on or before expiration dates of the current licenses, which are January 29, 2016 and May 27, 2027, respectively. The BVPS, which is located within in 453-acre site on the south bank of the Ohio River at river mile 34.8, consists of two units, each equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a closed-cycle cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Monticello Reservoir, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. The Ohio River is the source of the makeup water to replace water lost through evaporation, cooling tower drift, and water discharged back to the river as blowdown. Each unit is rated at 2,900 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 974 MW-electric. The units 1 and 2 reactors, which were placed into service in October 1976 and November 1987, respectively, were both upgraded in 2001, are housed in separate vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed or recycled based on waste type. Six 345-kilovolt and seven 138-kilovolt transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Ohio River and deliver blowdown water back to the river. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radio nuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace natural vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat within the affected corridors.

[Part 2 of 2] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, SHIPPINGPORT BOROUGH, BEAVER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. (THIRTY-SIXTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 756824679; 13619-080393_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the units 1 and 2 of the Beaver Valley Power Station (BVPS) in Shippingport Borough, Beaver County, Pennsylvania is proposed to extend the licensed plant life of each unit an additional 20 years in this 36th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the licenses are renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate the units; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units 1 and 2 would be shut down on or before expiration dates of the current licenses, which are January 29, 2016 and May 27, 2027, respectively. The BVPS, which is located within in 453-acre site on the south bank of the Ohio River at river mile 34.8, consists of two units, each equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a closed-cycle cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Monticello Reservoir, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. The Ohio River is the source of the makeup water to replace water lost through evaporation, cooling tower drift, and water discharged back to the river as blowdown. Each unit is rated at 2,900 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 974 MW-electric. The units 1 and 2 reactors, which were placed into service in October 1976 and November 1987, respectively, were both upgraded in 2001, are housed in separate vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed or recycled based on waste type. Six 345-kilovolt and seven 138-kilovolt transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Ohio River and deliver blowdown water back to the river. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radio nuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace natural vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat within the affected corridors.

AN - 69495170; 18703617 AB - In 2002, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) revised its regulations governing the use of byproduct materials for medical purposes (10 CFR Part 35). These changes were the result of a detailed, 4-year examination of the issues surrounding the medical use program of the NRC and are stated in the latest revision to its medical policy statement, published in the Federal Register on August 3, 2000. As part of an overall program for revising its regulatory framework for medical use, the NRC revised its medical policy statement in keeping with the goal of focusing regulation on those medical procedures that pose the highest risk and structuring the regulations to be risk-informed. NRC inspection procedures were also revised to focus on high-risk activities through a performance-based approach, that is, through observations and interviews with licensee personnel performing NRC-regulated tasks. The purpose of this article is to inform the radiation worker (nuclear medicine technologist or authorized user physician) of the revised focus of the medical use program of the NRC and inspection procedures relative to nuclear medicine-licensed activities. After reading this article, the radiation worker should be able to describe the concept of risk-informed, performance-based regulations and inspections, identify areas of high-risk activities in the nuclear medicine laboratory, and describe techniques used by the NRC inspector to determine the licensee's compliance with the regulations.

This alloy exhibits very low corrosion rates in the absence of environmental conditions promoting crevice corrosion. However, there are uncertainties regarding Alloy 22's corrosion performance when general corrosion rates and susceptibility to crevice corrosion are extrapolated to a geological time period (e.g. 105 years). This paper presents an analysis of available literature information relevant to the long-term extrapolation of general corrosion processes and the crevice corrosion behavior of Alloy 22, under potential repository environments. For assessment of general corrosion rates, potential degradation processes causing the loss of the long-term persistence of passive film formed are considered. For crevice corrosion, induction time, and the extent of susceptibility and opening area, are considered. Disclaimer: The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff views expressed herein are preliminary and do not constitute a final judgment or determination of the matters addressed nor of the acceptability of a license application for a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain. The paper describes work performed by the Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses (CNWRA) for NRC under Contract Number NRC-02-02-012.

AN - 36348649; 13547 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of an early site permit (ESP) for the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) site on the Savannah River in Burke County, Georgia is proposed to allow for the addition to two nuclear units to the two units already operating at the plant site. The VEGP site is located approximately 15 miles east-northeast of Waynesboro and 26 miles southeast of Augusta. The ESP candidate tract is adjacent to the existing VEGP Units 1 and 2 sites. The applicant, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc., requested authorization to perform certain site preparation activities if an ESP were issued. It must be remembered that an application for an ESP is, as a process, separate from the filing of an application for a construction permit or a combined operating license for a nuclear power facility. The latter permit and/or a license must be preceded by a separate EIS process. Three primary issues must be addressed in an ESP application, namely site safety, environmental impacts, and emergency planning. Regarding safety and emergency planning issues, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission seeks reasonable assurance that two Westinghouse Electric Company AP1000 advanced light-water reactors can be constructed and operated at the VEGP site without undue risk to public health and safety; that there are no significant impediments to the development of emergency plans; and that site characteristics allow for the development of adequate security plans and measures. In addition to the issuance of the ESP, this final EIS considers four categories of alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, energy source alternatives, system design alternatives, and site alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new site's nuclear reactors would provide electric power, to be transmitted to the regional grid serviced by the applicant and used by residential, commercial, and industrial consumers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The staff has preliminary concluded that the site preparation and preliminary construction activities allowed by regulatory law would not result in any significant adverse environmental impact that cannot be redressed. The sites and access corridors could be affected by clearing, grading. Cooling system water would withdrawn from and returned to the Savannah River, resulting a thermal plume, both of which would affect the aquatic ecosystem and the recreational value of the river, as well as riverside visual and olfactory aesthetics.

It shows that even after large-scale development of indigenous energy resources, the energy import dependence increases. If access to advanced nuclear power reactors becomes available to Pakistan, then nuclear power can make a sizable contribution in meeting the future electricity needs, reducing stress on the international supplies of oil and gas with concurrent benefits for the environment. A scenario of economic development and electricity supply of Afghanistan is also presented for 2025 and 2050 and it is proposed that nuclear power generation may be a viable option by 2050.

AN - 69318005; 18617797 AB - As part of the requirement for terminating the licenses of nuclear power plants or other nuclear facilities, license termination plans or decommissioning plans are submitted by the licensee to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for review and approval. Decommissioning plans generally refer to the decommissioning of nonreactor facilities, while license termination plans specifically refer to the decommissioning of nuclear reactor facilities. To provide a uniform and consistent review of dose modeling aspects of these plans and to address NRC-wide knowledge management issues, the NRC, in 2006, commissioned Argonne National Laboratory to develop a Web-based training course on reviewing radiological dose assessments for license termination. The course, which had first been developed in 2005 to target specific aspects of the review processes for license termination plans and decommissioning plans, evolved from a live classroom course into a Web-based training course in 2006. The objective of the Web-based training course is to train NRC staff members (who have various relevant job functions and are located at headquarters, regional offices, and site locations) to conduct an effective review of dose modeling in accordance with the latest NRC guidance, including NUREG-1757, Volumes 1 and 2. The exact size of the staff population who will receive the training has not yet been accurately determined but will depend on various factors such as the decommissioning activities at the NRC. This Web-based training course is designed to give NRC staff members modern, flexible access to training. To this end, the course is divided into 16 modules: 9 core modules that deal with basic topics, and 7 advanced modules that deal with complex issues or job-specific topics. The core and advanced modules are tailored to various NRC staff members with different job functions. The Web-based system uses the commercially available software Articulate, which incorporates audio, video, and animation in slide presentations and has glossary, document search, and Internet connectivity features. The training course has been implemented on an NRC system that allows staff members to register, select courses, track records, and self-administer quizzes.

AN - 69317915; 18617807 AB - In many practical cases human exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields with many spectral components (multi-frequency fields) has to be examined in order to check compliance with ICNIRP's guidelines. Showing compliance, according to existing methods, requires sophisticated instruments and measurement procedures to assess some complex exposure metrics. Furthermore, even where the field levels are very low, there is no method to show compliance using broadband instruments, which are the most common and simple ones. In this paper, a new method is described where the frequencies emitted by the source are known and only simple broadband instruments are required. First, the spectral distribution of the field that maximizes exposure metrics is found. Then, an effective reference level for the broadband value of the field is estimated for this distribution. If the measured broadband value of the magnetic field is lower than this reference level, then compliance with ICNIRP's guidelines is readily shown. A case study for a magnetic field consisting of 50 Hz and 60 Hz components is presented. The worst-case spectral distribution contained 64% 50 Hz and 76.8% 60 Hz components, and the corresponding effective broadband reference level is 64 muT for general public exposure. The method is generally conservative in cases of incoherent fields and very conservative in cases of coherent fields. To that end, it is practically a quick and easy test to check if further measurements are needed or not. Application of this method is expected to save time, money, and resources.

The results were compared to data obtained for a control group consisted of individuals working at the Syrian Atomic Energy Commission and also to data reported in the literature. The results given by the group of workers in battery plant showed that Pb concentration in human scalp hair samples were higher than those for control group, while some abnormal concentrations were obtained for Cu, Zn and Ni in cables, printing and battery plants, respectively. Normal concentrations of these elements were obtained for hair workers in olive oil, power stations, textile, and iron industrial plants. The relationships of Pb-Pb/Ni and Cu-Cu/Ni were plotted with correlation coefficients of 0.9937 and 0.9014, respectively. In general, the results showed that, the workers who were occupationally exposed to battery industrial pollution are at risk, followed by individuals in printing and cables industries, while the rest of workers in other industries are considered occupationally unexposed.

Cotton yield parameters, fiber quality, water- and N-use efficiency responses to N, and irrigation methods in northern Syria were evaluated. Field trials were conducted for two growing seasons on a Chromoxerertic Rhodoxeralf. Treatments consisted of drip fertigation, furrow irrigation, and five different rates of N fertilizer (50, 100, 150, 200, and 250kgN/ha). Cotton was irrigated when soil moisture in the specified active root depth was 80% of the field capacity as indicated by the neutron probe. Seed cotton yield was higher than the national average (3,928kg/ha) by at least 12% as compared to all treatments. Lint properties were not negatively affected by the irrigation method or N rates. Water savings under drip fertigation ranged between 25 and 50% of irrigation water relative to furrow irrigation. Crop water-use efficiencies of the drip-fertigated treatments were in most cases 100% higher than those of the corresponding furrow-irrigated treatments. The highest water demand was during the fruit-setting growth stage. It was also concluded that under drip fertigation, 100-150Nkg/ha was adequate and comparable with the highest N rates tested under furrow irrigation regarding lint yield, N uptake, and recovery. Based on cotton seed yield and weight of stems, the overall amount of N removed from the field for the drip-fertigated treatments ranged between 101 and 118kg and 116 and 188N/ha for 2001 and 2002, respectively. The N removal ranged between 94 and 113 and 111 and 144kgN/ha for the furrow-irrigated treatments for 2001 and 2002, respectively.

The ISL facilities could be located in designated areas in Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota, and New Mexico. More specifically, the four uranium milling regions identified to be relevant to the development of this generic EIS are the Wyoming West and East regions, Nebraska-South Dakota-Wyoming Region, and the Northwestern New Mexico Region. The four geographic regions that constitute the designated areas were delineated based on: 1) past and existing uranium milling sites located within states where the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has regulatory authority; 2) potential new sites identified based on NRC's understanding of where the uranium recovery industry has plans to develop uranium deposits using ISL technology; and 3) locations of historical uranium deposits within portions of the four abovementioned states. The NRC has undertaken this generic EIS to improve the efficiency of its environmental reviews for ISL license applications. In addition, the NRC plans to use the generic EIS, along with the applicable previous site-specific environmental review documents, in its EIS review analyses for the restart or expansion of existing facilities. Uranium milling techniques are designed to recover uranium from uranium-bearing ores. The ISL process is used to recover uranium from low-grade ores or deep deposits that are not economically recoverable by conventional mining and milling techniques. In the ISL process, a leaching agent, such as oxygen with sodium carbonate, is injected through wells into the subsurface ore body to dissolve the uranium. The leach solution is pumped from there to the surface processing plant, wherein exchange processes separates the uranium from the solution. After additional purification and drying, the uranium in the form of "yellowcake" is placed in 55-gallon drums for shipment. The foundation of the EIS assessment is based on: 1) historical operations of NRC-licensed ISL facilities and 2) the affected environment in each of the four regions. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Adopting the conclusions of this generic EIS assessment as a basis for regulatory assessment of existing and proposed ISL facilities would strengthen the reliability and streamline the process of regulatory assessments and provide a more economically effective means of dealing with the licensing process for both the NRC and the private sector applicant. Potential impacts to the environment, particularly aquifers, would be identified more readily and avoided or mitigated more effectively. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of ISL facilities would result in the disturbance and displacement of soils and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, including habitat for federally protected species; alteration of geologic structures, disturbance and potential contamination of aquifers; destruction of historic and archaeologic resource sites; and displacement of alternative land uses, such as farming and grazing. ISL facility workers would be exposed to levels of radiation above the background level. ISL facilities, which would often lie in remote, pristine areas, would significantly degrade visual aesthetics.

The four geographic regions that constitute the designated areas were delineated based on: 1) past and existing uranium milling sites located within states where the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has regulatory authority; 2) potential new sites identified based on NRC's understanding of where the uranium recovery industry has plans to develop uranium deposits using ISL technology; and 3) locations of historical uranium deposits within portions of the four abovementioned states. The NRC has undertaken this generic EIS to improve the efficiency of its environmental reviews for ISL license applications.

Plantlets of cassava cultivars were obtained using nodal cuttings initiated from tissue culture. These cassava cultivars were challenged with both DNA A and B components of the infectious clones named above using particle gun bombardment. The cassava cultivars showed varying degrees of susceptibility/resistance to the two infectious clones used. All symptoms of Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD) observed were systemic in nature. Generally, all cassava cultivars used in this study exhibited varying degrees of recovery from virus infection. This report demonstrates the ability of using biolistic technology to screen cassava cultivars for tolerance/resistance and that it may be used to recommend resistant cultivars to the farming community.

Pseudovitrinite consistently has a higher microhardness than telovitrinite, the difference being greater for Eastern Kentucky than for Western Kentucky coals. The Amos coal, a low-sulfur coal from Western Kentucky, has significantly lower values than both other Western Kentucky coals and Eastern Kentucky coals of similar vitrinite maximum reflectance. The difference between the Amos and other coals, and between coals from the two coalfields, may lie in differences in the depositional history. Further study of iso-rank collections would help to identify a causative factor.

AN - 70758274; 18492891 AB - OBJECTIVEThe purpose of this study was to survey image quality and the entrance surface air kerma for patients in radiographic examinations and to perform comparisons with diagnostic reference levels.SUBJECTS AND METHODSIn this multinational prospective study, image quality and patient radiation doses were surveyed in 12 countries in Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe, covering 45 hospitals. The rate of unsatisfactory images and image quality grade were noted, and causes for poor image quality were investigated. The entrance surface doses for adult patients were determined in terms of the entrance surface air kerma on the basis of X-ray tube output measurements and X-ray exposure parameters. Comparison of dose levels with diagnostic reference levels was performed.RESULTSThe fraction of images rated as poor was as high as 53%. The image quality improved up to 16 percentage points in Africa, 13 in Asia, and 22 in Eastern Europe after implementation of a quality control (QC) program. Patient doses varied by a factor of up to 88, although the majority of doses were below diagnostic reference levels. The mean entrance surface air kerma values in mGy were 0.33 (chest, posteroanterior), 4.07 (lumbar spine, anteroposterior), 8.53 (lumbar spine, lateral), 3.64 (abdomen, anteroposterior), 3.68 (pelvis, anteroposterior), and 2.41 (skull, anteroposterior). Patient doses were found to be similar to doses in developed countries and patient dose reductions ranging from 1.4% to 85% were achieved.CONCLUSIONPoor image quality constitutes a major source of unnecessary radiation to patients in developing countries. Comparison with other surveys indicates that patient dose levels in these countries are not higher than those in developed countries. JF - AJR.

AN - 69205004; 18469586 AB - The computer code VARSKIN is used extensively to calculate dose to the skin resulting from contaminants on the skin or on protective clothing covering the skin. The code uses six pre-programmed source geometries, four of which are volume sources, and a wide range of user-selectable radionuclides. Some verification of this code had been carried out before the current version of the code, version 3.0, was released, but this was limited in extent and did not include all the source geometries that the code is capable of modeling. This work extends this verification to include all the source geometries that are programmed in the code over a wide range of beta radiation energies and skin depths. Verification was carried out by comparing the doses calculated using VARSKIN with the doses for similar geometries calculated using the Monte Carlo radiation transport code MCNP5. Beta end-point energies used in the calculations ranged from 0.3 MeV up to 2.3 MeV. The results showed excellent agreement between the MCNP and VARSKIN calculations, with the agreement being within a few percent for point and disc sources and within 20% for other sources with the exception of a few cases, mainly at the low end of the beta end-point energies. The accuracy of the VARSKIN results, based on the work in this paper, indicates that it is sufficiently accurate for calculation of skin doses resulting from skin contaminations, and that the uncertainties arising from the use of VARSKIN are likely to be small compared with other uncertainties that typically arise in this type of dose assessment, such as those resulting from a lack of exact information on the size, shape, and density of the contaminant, the depth of the sensitive layer of the skin at the location of the contamination, the duration of the exposure, and the possibility of the source moving over various areas of the skin during the exposure period if the contaminant is on protective clothing.

Subsurface accelerometers on the model fault plane show rupture propagation that approaches a limiting velocity close to the Rayleigh velocity. The slip-velocity waveform at depth is cracklike (slip duration of the order of narrower fault dimension W divided by S-wave speed beta ). Surface accelerometers record near-fault ground motion enhanced along strike by rupture-induced directivity. Most experimental features (initiation time, shape, duration and absolute amplitude of acceleration pulses) are successfully reproduced by a 3D spontaneous-rupture numerical model of the experiments. Numerical- and experimental-model acceleration pulses show similar decay with distance away from the fault, and fault-normal components in both models show similar, large amplitude growth with distance along fault strike. This forward directivity effect is also evident in response spectra: the fault-normal spectral response peak (at period approximately W/3beta ) increases approximately sixfold along strike, on average, in the experiments, with similar increase (about fivefold) in the corresponding numerical simulation. The experimental- and numerical-model response spectra agree with an empirical directivity model for natural earthquakes at long periods (near approximately W/beta ), and both overpredict shorter-period empirical directivity effects, with the amount of overprediction increasing systematically with diminishing period. We attribute this difference to rupture- and wavefront incoherence in natural earthquakes, due to fault-zone heterogeneities in stress, frictional resistance, and elastic properties present in the Earth but absent or minimal in the experimental and numerical models. Rupture-front incoherence is an important component of source models for ground-motion prediction, but finding an effective kinematic parameterization may be challenging.

The spatial correlation structures of radiocesium ( (super 137) Cs), soil redistribution and organic matter (OM) content have been established in a 2.16 ha agricultural field located 30 km east of Quebec City, Canada. A significant relationship was found between (super 137) Cs (Bq m (super -2) ) and OM (%) in the 0-20 cm soil depth (n = 42; r (super 2) = 0.63, p<0.001), highlighting the relation between these two parameters. The conversion of the areal activities of (super 137) Cs into soil redistribution (t ha (super -1) yr (super -1) ) was done using the Mass Balance Model 2 (MBM 2). The magnitude of soil redistribution, at the sampled points, ranged from an erosion rate of 62 t ha (super -1) yr (super -1) to a deposition of 17 t ha (super -1) yr (super -1) . Geostatistics coupled with a geographic information system (GIS) were used to create a map of soil redistribution, based on the spatial variability of FRNs, and to establish a sediment budget. Prior to mapping, semivariograms were produced, taking into account the autocorrelation present in the data. A significant autocorrelation and reliable variograms were obtained for the three tested parameters ( (super 137) Cs, OM content and soil redistribution) (0.87< or =r (super 2) < or =0.95; 0.7< or =Scale/Sill< or =0.96 and 4%< or ="nugget-to-sill"<20%). Using the Kriging interpolation and "area weighted mean" of the soil redistribution map, a sediment budget was estimated for the whole field. A net sediment output was estimated as 16.6 t ha (super -1) yr (super -1) , for a sediment delivery ratio (SDR) of 99%. This high SDR is believed to reflect the joint impact of tillage, water and snowmelt erosion on the net sediment production. Approximately 85% of the agricultural field surface was estimated to be affected by erosion rates approaching or exceeding the suggested tolerance level of 6 t ha (super -1) yr (super -1) for most Canadian soils. The geostatistics concept is a powerful tool in soil science and especially for FRNs use in order to characterize the spatial variability of erosion and sedimentation processes.

The study shows preoccupying pollution levels that constitute a threat to public and ecological systems. The waters of Subin River are neutral to slightly basic, inferred from pH values of 6.89-7.65). Electric conductivity (EC) of the waters ranges from 822 to 1,821ks/cm and the range of total dissolved solids (TDS) is from 409 to 913mg/l. Toxic elements contents of sediments and waters from 10 sites along the river were analysed by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA), and Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu and Zn were determined. The concentrations of Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu and Zn in the waters range between 4.02-15.18, 0.007-0.16, 0.002-0.05, 0.001-0.019, 1.32-7.04 and 4.28-10.2mg/l, respectively. The contamination factors (CF) computed for the elements indicate that with the exception of sampling site S10, the sediments are polluted with Cd. Chromium contamination in the sediments is observed at S6 and S7, where the CF values were 1.39 and 1.52, respectively. The pollution load indices (PLI) were low (<1) and ranged from 0.14 to 0.75, suggesting that the overall sediment column of the river is not polluted.

AN - 36391671; 13446-080208_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a reclamation plan for a 600-acre uranium conversion site in Gore, Oklahoma is proposed by the owner and operator of the site, Sequoyah Fuels Corporation (SFC). In the reclamation plan it submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), SFC proposes to consolidate containment sludges and soils, demolish existing structures (with the exception of the administration building and the electrical substation), and construct an above-grade, on-site disposal cell for the permanent disposal of all contaminated materials. SFC would also implement a groundwater corrective action plan to restore the groundwater around the site using the hydraulic containment and pump back method. Following the completion of reclamation and groundwater corrective actions, SFC would seek termination of its NRC license. As part of that future license termination process, SFC would transfer approximately 324 acres of land within the site, including the land area encompassing the disposal cell and a surrounding buffer, to the custody of the United States or the state of Oklahoma for long-term control. SFC proposes that the remaining 276 acres within the site be released for unrestricted use by members of the public. Alternatives considered in this draft EIS include on-site disposal (Alternative 1; the proposed action as described above), off-site disposal, a partial off-site disposal, and a No Action Alternative. Estimated cost of the proposed action is $32.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would render the site safe, ensuring public health in the region. The new storage facility would provide for the safe disposal of substantial amounts of radioactive waste. Release of a portion of the SFC site for unrestricted use would allow for development of the disposed property or management of the property for natural resources preservation. The most likely reuse of the unrestricted land would be agriculture, which would result in a present net value of net cash income of $1.5 million under the proposed action. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: On-site disposal of all contaminated material, as proposed, would result in 33.5 person-rems of radiation exposure for workers and 3,780 long-term person-rems of exposure for the public. Catastrophic disposal facility failure resulting from an accident or terrorist action would release far greater levels of radiation. Land retained within the facility for disposal purposes would be lost to other public uses.

(THIRTY-SECOND FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 1 of 2] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: WOLF CREEK GENERATING STATION, COFFEY COUNTY, KANSAS. (THIRTY-SECOND FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36396095; 13434-080196_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station in Coffey County, Kansas is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 32nd supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this final supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current operating license, which March 11, 2025. The power station is located within a 135-acre encompassed by a 11,300-acre area owned by Kansas Gas and Electric Company, Kansas City Power and Light, and Kansas Electric Power Cooperative; the larger area encompassing the site includes Coffey County Lake (5,090 acres), the dam and dikes creating the lake (60 acres), a lime sludge pond (31 acres, and the Wolf Creek Environmental Education Area (500 acres). The plant's single nuclear reactor, which began operation on September 3, 1985, is a Westinghouse pressurized water reactor producing a reactor core power of 3,565-megawatts-thermal resulting in a design net capacity of 1,165 megawatts-electric. The applicant operates as a once-through cooling pond facility, with Coffee County Lake being the water source for the circulating water system as well as for ancillary water systems. The facility includes liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Ten transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Coffee County Lake and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

The early Paleoproterozoic basement of the Medio Coreau domain is composed of migmatitic gneisses and juvenile granulites, overlain by late Paleoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic rocks intruded by syn- to post-tectonic Brasiliano granitoids. According to integrated structural and geochronological data (U-Pb zircon and monazite ages), the Neoproterozoic tectonic evolution of the Medio Coreau is characterized by low-angle thrusting and transcurrent deformation. U-Pb geochronological data from plutons intruded during this compressional regime indicate the collisional evolution began at approximately 622 Ma and continued until about 591 Ma. The continuation of convergence until approximately 560 Ma resulted in the formation of NE-SW and E-W shear zones within the Borborema Province and adjoining West African provinces. The final stage of the ductile tectonism was characterized by uplift and high-angle fault generation between approximately 560 and 545 Ma. The last tectonic event was an extensional phase, resulting in the formation of the Jaibaras graben and intrusion of post-orogenic granites at around 532 Ma.

The metavolcanic rocks, which are predominantly basalts/basaltic andesites and andesites, have high Cr and Ni contents, indicating that they have not undergone significant fractional crystallization from mantle-derived melts. Two types of basalts/basaltic andesites, Type I and Type II, were identified. The Type I basalts show flat to slightly LREE-depleted patterns with (La/Sm) (sub N) = 0.69-1.03, (La/Yb) (sub N) = 0.57-0.71 and minor negative and positive Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu (super *) = 0.92-1.24). The Type II basalts/basaltic andesites show fractionated REE patterns with (La/Sm) (sub N) = 1.34-2.31, (La/Yb) (sub N) = 2.08-4.25 and minor positive Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu (super *) = 1.09-1.13). The andesites also show fractionated REE patterns, (La/Sm) (sub N) = 1.97-2.78 and (La/Yb) (sub N) = 4.11-8.48 with minor positive to non-existent Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu (super *) = 0.99-1.15). N-MORB-normalized, trace element patterns show that the Type II basalts/basaltic andesites and the andesites have geochemical patterns characterized by enrichment in LILE relative to HFSE and in LREE relative to HREE. The andesites and the Type II basalts/basaltic andesites exhibit characteristics of subduction zone-related magmas; i.e., the former displays strong Nb and Ti anomalies and relatively high Th/Nb ratios (0.69-95) whereas the latter displays strong negative Nb anomalies but relatively smaller Ti anomalies and lower Th/Nb ratios (0.35-0.37). The Type I basalts/basaltic andesites are generally moderately enriched in LILEs and depleted in HFSEs and HREEs relative to N-MORB. Like the andesites and the Type II basalts/basaltic andesites, the Type I basalts/basaltic andesites display subduction-related trace element characteristics of positive Ba and Sr anomalies together with slightly negative Nb-Ta anomalies. The low Th/Nb ratios of 0.06-0.11 coupled with their MORB-like REE patterns indicate no or negligible amount of sedimentary component in the Type I basalts/basaltic andesites. Crustal contamination may be ruled out as the cause of the negative Th and HFSE anomalies observed in the basaltic and andesitic rocks. Rather the anomalies are interpreted, on the basis of Th-Nb-La-Ce, to reflect a recycled slab-derived lithosphere component. The LREE-depleted tholeiitic Type I basalts/basaltic andesites exhibit back-arc basin geochemical signatures. The calc-alkaline andesites and the Type II basalts/basaltic andesites show intra-oceanic island arc signatures. The high Mg basaltic/andesitic rocks may, however, have evolved in a forearc setting. We, therefore, infer an intra-oceanic island arc-forearc-backarc setting for the Paleoproterozoic Birimian metavolcanic rocks from the southern Ashanti volcanic belt. REE modeling indicates that the magma from which the Type I basalts were formed was generated by about 17-30% partial melting of a depleted mantle (DMM) composed of spinel lherzolite in an extensional marginal basin. The parental magmas of the high Mg calc-alkaline basaltic/andesitic rocks were produced in the forearc by about 20-30% partial melting of the metasomatized mantle, and the Type II basalts/basaltic andesites and the andesites are related by fractional crystallization.

Stable isotope ratios systematically increased with distance downstream with the most significant enrichment occurring at Al-Assad Lake. This systematic increase could be due to: (1) evaporation from the river and its tributaries and (2) drainage return flows of irrigation water via the groundwater system. Based on the integral enrichment of stable isotopes in the river water, the amount of water lost by evaporation from Al-Assad Lake was estimated to be about 1.93-2.15 billionm super(3) using super(1) super(8)O and super(2)H, respectively. On the basis of the chloride budget, the computed component of groundwater input through the riverbed from drainage return flow varies spatially from 70% to less than 1%, depending on the extent of irrigation exercised along the river course.

Based on the calculated D10 values, challenge testing of the isolates with irradiation (0, 2 and 3kGy) was conducted on JRM followed by chilled (3-5C) storage (0, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days). Calculated D10 values of E. coli, S. aureus and S. parathyphi B were 0.173, 0.260 and 0.285kGy, respectively. Linear correlation coefficients of the regression lines were all >0.910 and highly significant (P<0.01). A dose of 2kGy reduced the population of E. coli by 6log cycles and those of S. aureus and S. parathyphi B by 4log cycles. A dose of 3kGy eliminated all the isolates from the JRM during the 28-day storage period and is therefore adequate to eliminate pathogens from JRM to enhance microbiological quality. Ready meals are easily available and convenient. However, they have the major limitations of easy contamination with foodborne pathogens and a relatively short shelf life. Additionally in the tropics, high temperatures and poor access to refrigeration facilities promote rapid microbial proliferation in such foods. The potential of low dose radiation to improve microbiological safety and extend shelf life of some cook-chill and other ready meals have been established and the technology is in use in most developed countries. However, in developing countries where the incidence of foodborne illness is relatively high, there is lack of awareness about the potential benefits of food irradiation. This study demonstrates the potential of irradiation to enhance microbiological safety and extend the shelf life of ready meals in developing countries, especially those which are popular and those of indigenous origin.

The fitting analysis revealed that current transport in these cells is governed by two competing transport mechanisms relating strongly to interface states and that both mechanisms are thermally and light-activated. The activation energy values for both mechanisms were calculated from the temperature dependence of the parameters describing each of them. Furthermore, it was found that the calculated activation energy values depend on temperature and illumination intensity. A qualitative explanation for this dependence is given.

Sodium alginate films were prepared by casting and their mechanical properties like Tensile strength (TS), Elongation at break (Eb) were monitored. TS and Eb of the sodium alginate films were obtained as 24.0 MPa and 11.5%, respectively. The resulting films of SA were photo-cured with 3- (trimethoxysilyl)propylmethacrylate (silane) in order to improve the physico- mechanical properties. Several acrylic monomers of various functionalities were incorporated with silane monomer as additives (2%) like 2- Ethylhexylacrylate (EHA), 1,4-Butanediol diacrylate (BDDA), Trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) with the aid of UV radiation. A series of formulations was prepared with the monomer silane, and the additives EHA, BDDA, TMPTA, and a 2% photoinitiator (Darocure-1664). Monomer concentration, soaking time, and radiation dose were optimized in terms of polymer loading and mechanical properties. ten percent of silane treated films produced the highest TS at 5 min soaking time using 15th pass of UV radiation and the recorded value was 49.68 MPa.

AN - 36409746; 13398 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for units 1 and 2 of the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, located approximately five miles northeast of Berwick in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania is proposed to extend the licensed plant life of each unit for an additional 20 years in this 35th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, PPL Susquehanna, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration dates of the current licenses, which occurs on January July 17, 2022 for Unit 1 and March 23, 2024 for Unit 2. The generating facility lies within in a 115-acre site in a largely rural area. Each unit consists of generator equipped with a nuclear four-loop steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a boiling water reactor, a closed-cycle cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Susquehanna River, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. Each unit is rated at 3,439 megawatts (MW-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 1,135 MW-electric. PPL Susquehanna has recently received approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a power uprate license amendment that will allow the operator to increase each reactor's power output to 3,952 MW-thermal, with a comparable increase in net generation to 1,300 MW-electric. Unit housing consists of vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with a steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Power generated by the generating facility is transmitted to the regional power grid by three short 230-kilovolt (kV) lines, a longer 230-kV line extending 30 miles to the Lackawanna substation, and two 500-kV lines, one extending 76 miles to Alburtis substation located three miles southwest of Allentown and the other extending 44 miles to a substation in Sunbury. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Susquehanna River and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the river from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way wuold continue to displace 6,300 acres of hardwood forests and the associated wildlife habitat within the affected corridors.

AN - 70359807; 18243278 AB - An assessment of Committed Effective Dose (CED) due to consumption of Red Sea fish containing (210)Po and (137)Cs was performed for 23 different marine fish samples collected from the local market at Port Sudan. The fish were classified according to their feeding habits into three categories: carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores. Measured activity concentrations of (210)Po were found in the ranges 0.25-6.42 (carnivores), 0.7-5 (omnivores) and 1.5-3.8 (herbivores) Bq/kg fresh weight. In the same study, activity concentrations of Cs-137 were determined to be in the ranges 0.1-0.46 (carnivores), 0.09-0.35 (omnivores) and 0.09-0.32 (herbivores) Bq/kg fresh weight, which were several times lower than those of (210)Po. Appropriate conversion factors were used to derive the CED, which was found to be 0.012, 0.01 and 0.01 (microSv/yr) in carnivores, omnivores and herbivores, respectively, for (137)Cs. This contributes about 0.4% of the total dose exclusively by ingestion of fish. For (210)Po, it was found to be 3.47, 4.81 and 4.14 (microSv/yr) in carnivores, omnivores and herbivores, respectively, which represents 99.6% of the total dose (exclusively by ingestion of fish). The results of CED calculations suggest that the dose received by the Sudanese population from the consumption of marine fish is rather small and that the contribution of (137)Cs is negligible compared to (210)Po.

AN - 36415445; 13390 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for units 1 and 2 of the Vogtle Electric Generating Facility, located on the southwest side of the Savannah River 15 miles west-southwest of Waynesboro in Burke County, Georgia is proposed to extend the licensed plant life of each unit for an additional 20 years in this 34th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc., nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration dates of the current licenses, which occurs on January 16, 2027 for Unit 1 and February 9, 2029 for Unit 2. The electric generating facility lies within in a 3,169-acre site in a largely rural area. Each unit consists of generator equipped with a nuclear four-loop steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a closed-cycle cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Savannah River, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. Each unit is rated at 3,565 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 1,232 MW-electric. Unit housing consists of vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with a steel liners. The units are operated on an 18-month refueling cycle. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. The facility is connected to the regional power grid via two 500-kilovolt (kV0 and five 230-kV transmission lines contained within five rights-of-way. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Savannah River and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the river from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

AN - 36380702; 13390-080156_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for units 1 and 2 of the Vogtle Electric Generating Facility, located on the southwest side of the Savannah River 15 miles west-southwest of Waynesboro in Burke County, Georgia is proposed to extend the licensed plant life of each unit for an additional 20 years in this 34th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc., nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration dates of the current licenses, which occurs on January 16, 2027 for Unit 1 and February 9, 2029 for Unit 2. The electric generating facility lies within in a 3,169-acre site in a largely rural area. Each unit consists of generator equipped with a nuclear four-loop steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a closed-cycle cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Savannah River, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. Each unit is rated at 3,565 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 1,232 MW-electric. Unit housing consists of vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with a steel liners. The units are operated on an 18-month refueling cycle. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. The facility is connected to the regional power grid via two 500-kilovolt (kV0 and five 230-kV transmission lines contained within five rights-of-way. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Savannah River and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the river from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way wuold continue to displace natural vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat within the affected corridors.

AN - 70409787; 17905489 AB - Evaluation was made of the distribution of radon gas and radiation exposure rates in the four main natural gas treatment facilities in Syria. The results showed that radiation exposure rates at contact of all equipment were within the natural levels (0.09-0.1 microSvh(-1)) except for the reflex pumps where a dose rate value of 3 microSvh(-1) was recorded. Radon concentrations in Syrian natural gas varied between 15.4 Bq m(-3) and 1141 Bq m(-3); natural gas associated with oil production was found to contain higher concentrations than the non-associated natural gas. In addition, radon concentrations were higher in the central processing facilities than the wellheads; these high levels are due to pressurizing and concentrating processes that enhance radon gas and its decay products. Moreover, the lowest 222Rn concentration was in the natural gas fraction used for producing sulfur; a value of 80 Bq m(-3) was observed. On the other hand, maximum radon gas and its decay product concentrations in workplace air environments were found to be relatively high in the gas analysis laboratories; a value of 458 Bq m(-3) was observed. However, all reported levels in the workplaces in the four main stations were below the action level set by IAEA for chronic exposure situations involving radon, which is 1000 Bq m(-3).

Therefore, it is essential to study the distribution and characterization of these species in Syria. An exploration of plants belonging to the Apiaceae family was conducted on road and field sides in several areas of Syria. Seeds (fruits) from these plants have been also collected. The seeds were sown in pots containing peatmoss in a glasshouse and emerging plants were grown until flowering and seed formation. The plants were classified based on leaf, umbel, and seed shape. Proteins were extracted from the leaves and analysed using electrophoresis to establish genetic relationships among species. Seven Daucus species have been identified to grow in Syria. These are D. aureus, D. bicolor, D. carota, D. durieua, D. guttatus, D. littoralis, and D. muricatus. Isozyme and total protein analysis, cluster analysis, and correlation matrix have revealed considerable genetic variation among studied Daucus species. Wild carrot (D. carota) came in one group with its cultivated form (D. carota ssp. sativus) and the closest species to them was D. guttatus. Species D. bicolor and D. durieua were in the same group and D. aureus and D. littoralis were in another group farther from the previous groups. The farthest species on the genetic tree was D. muricatus. JF - Biologia AU - Al-Safadi, Bassam AD - Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Atomic Energy Commission of Syria, P.O.

This phenomenon has been called temporal stability, time stability, temporal persistence, or rank stability in spatial patterns of soil water contents. Temporal stability is of considerable interest in terms of facilitating upscaling of observed soil water contents to obtain average values across the observation area, improving soil water monitoring strategies, and correcting the monitoring results for missing data. The objective of this work was to contribute to the existing knowledge base on temporal stability in soil water patterns using frequent multi-depth measurements with Multisensor Capacitance Probes (MCPs) installed in a coarse-texture soil under multi-year corn production. Water contents at 10, 30, 50, and 80 cm depths were measured every 10 min for 20 months of continuous observation from May 2001 to December 2002. The MCPs revealed temporal stability in soil water content patterns. Temporal stability was found to increase with depth. The statistical hypothesis could not be rejected (P<0.0001) that data collected each 10 min, each 2 h, each day, and each week had the same temporal stability. The locations that were best for estimating the average water contents were different for different depths. The best three locations for the whole observation period were the same as the best locations for a month of observations in about 60% of the cases. Temporal stability for a specific location and depth could serve as a good predictor of the utility of this location for estimating the area-average soil water content for that depth. Temporal stability could be efficiently used to correct area-average water contents for missing data. Soil water contents can be upscaled and efficiently monitored using the temporal stability of soil water content patterns.

The objective of WG9 is to promote and co-ordinate research activities for the assessment of occupational exposures to staff at workplaces in interventional radiology (IR) and nuclear medicine. For some of these applications, the skin of the fingers is the limiting organ for individual monitoring of external radiation. Therefore, sub-group 1 of WG9 deals with the use of extremity dosemeters in medical radiation fields. The wide variety of radiation field characteristics present in a medical environment together with the difficulties in measuring a local dose that is representative for the maximum skin dose, usually with one single detector, makes it difficult to perform accurate extremity dosimetry. Sub-group 1 worked out a thorough literature review on extremity dosimetry issues in diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine and positron emission tomography, interventional radiology and interventional cardiology and brachytherapy. Some studies showed that the annual dose limits could be exceeded if the required protection measures are not taken, especially in nuclear medicine. The continuous progress in new applications and techniques requires an important effort in radiation protection and training.

Observations showed that of all the heavy metals studied, Manganese concentrations were highest at all sampling points with maximum values around a traffic light, an intersection and car fitting/mechanic workshops. Significant correlations were found between Ni and Mn, Mn and Cr and Mn and V. Statistical analysis also revealed a relatively even dispersion of the studied elements on the eastern side of the road than on the western side.

AN - 70255067; 17955256 AB - Recently, Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) was successfully applied to treat experimental squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) of the hamster cheek pouch mucosa, with no damage to normal tissue. It was also shown that treating spontaneous nasal planum SCC in terminal feline patients with low dose BNCT is safe and feasible. In an extension of this work, the present study aimed at evaluation of the response of tumor and dose-limiting normal tissues to potentially therapeutic BNCT doses. Biodistribution studies with (10)B-boronophenylalanine (BPA enriched in (10)B) as a (10)B carrier were performed on three felines that showed advanced nasal planum SCC without any standard therapeutic option. Following the biodistribution studies, BNCT mediated by (10)BPA was done using the thermalized epithermal neutron beam at the RA-6 Nuclear Reactor. Follow-up included clinical evaluation, assessment of macroscopic tumor and normal tissue response and biopsies for histopathological analysis. The treated animals did not show any apparent radiation-induced toxicity. All three animals exhibited partial tumor control and an improvement in clinical condition. Enhanced therapeutic efficacy was associated with a high (10)B content of the tumor and a small tumor size. BNCT is therefore believed to be potentially effective in the treatment of spontaneous SCC. However, improvement in targeting (10)B into all tumor cells and delivering a sufficient dose at a greater depth are still required for the treatment of deep-seated, large tumors. Future studies are needed to evaluate the potential efficacy of the dual mode cellular (e.g. BPA-BNCT) and vascular (e.g. GB-10-BNCT) targeting protocol in a preclinical scenario, employing combinations of (10)B compounds with different properties and complementary uptake mechanisms.

The tritium in tritiated water always causes difficulties in nuclear installations, including equipment corrosion. Moreover, with tritiated water there are, in addition, the radiolytic and decomposition products such as hydrogen peroxide formed during decay, chloride ions produced by degradation of organic seals and oils used for tightness and pumping, and acid pH produced by excitation of nitrogen in air by the beta - particle. Highly concentrated tritiated water releases energy and its temperature is about 80 DGC, moreover heating is necessary in the tritium processes. These conditions highly facilitate the corrosion of stainless steels by pitting and crevice attack. Corrosion tests were performed by electrochemical analysis methods and by visual inspection of the surface of stainless steel.

Soil and vegetable crops (green pepper, cucumber, tomato, and eggplant), legumes crops (lentil, chickpea, and broad bean), fruit trees (apple, grape, and olives) and cereals (barley and wheat) were collected and analyzed for (super 238) U, (super 210) Pb, and (super 210) Po. The results have shown that higher transfer factors (calculated as Bq kg (super -1) dry wt. plant material per Bq kg (super -1) dry wt. soil) for (super 210) Po, (super 210) Pb and (super 238) U were observed in vegetable leaves than fruits and cereals leaves; the highest values of transfer factor (TF) for (super 238) U were found to be 0.1 for straw of chickpea. Transfer factors for (super 210) Po varied between 2.8X10 (super -2) and 2 in fruits of eggplant and grain of barley, respectively. In addition, several parameters affecting transfer factors of the radionuclides were evaluated. The results can be considered as base values for TF of natural radionuclides in the region.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS REACTOR, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MARYLAND (THIRTY-FIRST DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 873131562; 14458-6_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the National Bureau of Standards Reactor, operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Montgomery County, Maryland, is proposed to allow the reactor to continue operating for the next 20 years. The bureau has been renamed NIST. The reactor, which is located on the NIST campus, approximately 20 miles northwest of the District of Columbia, is a heavy water-moderated and cooled, enriched-fuel, tank-type reactor. It is a custom-designed variation of the Argonne CP-5 class reactor. The primary cooling system consists of a closed, reticulating heavy water in an aluminum and stainless steel containment structure. Heat from the reactor is transferred to a secondary cooling system of light water and, then, to the atmosphere by means of evaporation from a cooling tower located outside the confinement building. The reactor is employed by the NIST Center for Neutron Research, which is used by up to 2,000 engineers and scientists each year for research in materials science, non-destructive evaluation, chemistry, biology, trace analysis, neutron standards and Dosimetry, nuclear physics, and quantum metrology. The reactor is operated round the clock, seven days a week, with routine shutdowns every five to six weeks for partial refueling and, as needed, for maintenance. This is the second license renewal, the first renewal being granted May 16, 1984, and included a power uprate from 10 megawatts-thermal (MWth) to 20 MWth. That renewal was scheduled to expire on May 16, 2004. However, in accordance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations, NIST's application for renewal was received at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the existing license and the existing operating license will not be considered expired until the application has been assessed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow NIST to continue to operate the Center for Neutron Research, providing scientists and engineers with a large cold neutron source and seven neutron guides that allow the United States world class capabilities in cold neutron research. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the reactor would continue to result in a thermal plume from the cooling tower, affecting visual aesthetics and depositing heavy moisture on surrounding vegetation, though this would amount to an insignificant impact. The reactor would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

AN - 754908045; 14458 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the National Bureau of Standards Reactor, operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Montgomery County, Maryland, is proposed to allow the reactor to continue operating for the next 20 years. The bureau has been renamed NIST. The reactor, which is located on the NIST campus, approximately 20 miles northwest of the District of Columbia, is a heavy water-moderated and cooled, enriched-fuel, tank-type reactor. It is a custom-designed variation of the Argonne CP-5 class reactor. The primary cooling system consists of a closed, reticulating heavy water in an aluminum and stainless steel containment structure. Heat from the reactor is transferred to a secondary cooling system of light water and, then, to the atmosphere by means of evaporation from a cooling tower located outside the confinement building. The reactor is employed by the NIST Center for Neutron Research, which is used by up to 2,000 engineers and scientists each year for research in materials science, non-destructive evaluation, chemistry, biology, trace analysis, neutron standards and Dosimetry, nuclear physics, and quantum metrology. The reactor is operated round the clock, seven days a week, with routine shutdowns every five to six weeks for partial refueling and, as needed, for maintenance. This is the second license renewal, the first renewal being granted May 16, 1984, and included a power uprate from 10 megawatts-thermal (MWth) to 20 MWth. That renewal was scheduled to expire on May 16, 2004. However, in accordance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations, NIST's application for renewal was received at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the existing license and the existing operating license will not be considered expired until the application has been assessed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow NIST to continue to operate the Center for Neutron Research, providing scientists and engineers with a large cold neutron source and seven neutron guides that allow the United States world class capabilities in cold neutron research. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the reactor would continue to result in a thermal plume from the cooling tower, affecting visual aesthetics and depositing heavy moisture on surrounding vegetation, though this would amount to an insignificant impact. The reactor would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.) and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

Cassava flour paste was hydrolysed using rice malt to produce hydrolysate (sugar syrup), which was fermented at 28 - 30 degree C for 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 days. The fermented sugar syrup was analysed for alcohol content, reducing sugars, specific gravity, soluble solids, pH, volatile acids and total acidity using standard analytical methods. Yeast growth was also monitored. Results showed that pH values decreased with increased total acidity with concomitant increase in yeast growth (biomass) and alcohol contents of the fermenting sugar syrup. There were decreases in soluble solid contents, refractive indices of the fermenting medium. Volatile acids (as acetic acids), increased with alcoholic fermentation. Fermentation of sugar syrup from cassava flour is associated with physical and chemical changes that occur in other form of fermentation alongside increased in biomass.

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

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

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

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

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

AN - 69384033; 17951241 AB - The absorbed gamma-dose rate in air at a height of 1 m above ground level was calculated from activity concentrations of gamma-emitting radionuclides in arable soil samples collected from eight locations within Sinnar State using the published Dose Rate Conversion Factors. Measurements were carried out using high-resolution gamma-spectrometry. On average, the activity concentrations obtained were 38 +/- 8 ((232)Th), 17 +/- 2 ((226)Ra), 174 +/- 19 ((40)K) and 0.9 +/- 0.2 Bq kg(-1) for the fallout radionuclide (137)Cs. The average value obtained here for (232)Th is slightly higher than the corresponding world-average. The calculated absorbed dose rate in air at a height of 1 m for all sampled locations ranges from 31 to 47 nGy h(-1) with an average value of 39 +/- 7 nGy h(-1) which is characteristic of normal background radiation areas. The corresponding annual effective dose was 47.8 +/- 6 microSv y(-1). The major contribution to the total absorbed dose rate comes from (232)Th, which amounts to 61%. Recalculation of the absorbed dose rate-based gamma-energies of individual nuclides from uranium and thorium decay series and (40)K showed that the greater part of the absorbed dose from the uranium series is due to (214)Bi, whereas for the (232)Th series it is equally attributed to (228)Ac and (208)Tl.

Certain operational parameters for conventional and remote control systems were assessed, according to a quality control protocol developed by GAEC on the basis of the current literature. Public (91.5%) and private (81.5%) owned fluoroscopic units exhibit high-contrast resolution values over 1 lp mm(-1). Moreover, 88.5 and 87.1% of the fluoroscopic units installed in the public and private sector, respectively, present Maximum Patient Entrance Kerma Rate values lower than 100 mGy min(-1). Additionally, 68.3% of the units assessed were found to perform within the acceptance limits. Finally, the third quartile of the Entrance Surface Dose Rate distribution was estimated according to the Dose Reference Level definition and found equal to 35 mGy min(-1).

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

The analyses were performed adopting alpha-spectrometry, liquid scintillation and Cerenkov counting techniques. Surface sediments from this coastal region are poor in their radioactivity content in contrast to similar data reported from different coastal areas around the globe. There is surface enrichment of super(210)Pb and super(210)Po with respect to their progenitor super(226)Ra as it is evident from the activity ratios of super(210)Pb/ super(226)Ra (3.03 c 1.79) and super(210)Po/ super(226)Ra (2.23 c 1.56). Among marine plants and animals investigated, the green algae species, Halimeda, and coral species, Favites, show substantial concentration of radium at 8.2 Bq/kg and 21.9 Bq/kg dry weight, respectively. Similarly, the highest concentration of super(210)Po was met in Favites at 38.7 Bq/kg followed by brown algae, Cystoseria sp., at 32.6 Bq/kg. There is no variation seen among algal species for super(210)Pb uptake, however, converse to radium and polonium, Favites (coral) was found to contain the minimum concentration of lead (3.88 Bq/kg). In most species there is preferential accumulation of polonium over its parent radium as indicated by super(210)Po: super(226)Ra activity ratio with Cystoseria (brown algae) showing the highest value at 8.81.

The paper provides a framework of recommendations on the existing national regulatory control of all metals used and traded nationally and internationally in Bangladesh as part of the metal recycling industry. The recommendations are addressed to all parties concerned with the metal recycling industry, including demolition companies, scrap collectors, sellers of scrap metal, owners of scrap yards, metal works, transporters, and the departments of government responsible for the control of incoming and outgoing shipments, for example, customs or border authorities. They also address the prevention of the occurrence of radioactive scrap metal which may or may not have been under regulatory control, its detection and the prevention of associated radiological consequences through response actions. The goal of the recommendations is to establish adequate controlling systems for facilities, borders, the transport authority and other relevant parties, to ensure a system of notification of the responsible authorities and persons, and also to create a decision making scheme for different types of illicit trafficking.

The measured activity concentrations for these radionuclides are compared with the reported data from different other countries and it is found that measured activity concentrations are comparable with the worldwide measured average values reported by the UNSCEAR. Subsequently assessed radiological effects show that the mean radium equivalent activity (Ra sub(eq)) is 96.7 plus or minus 15.2 Bq kg super(-1) and air absorbed dose rate (D) is 46.1 plus or minus 7.3 nGy h super(-1). The values of internal and external radiation hazard indices are found to be less than unity. The annual effective radiation dose is calculated to be 0.28 plus or minus 0.05 mSv, which is well below the limit of 1.0 mSv y super(-1) recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection, for the general public.

The shielding properties of these six types were studied for gamma ray (from Cs-137 and Co-60 sources) and for neutrons (from Am--Be source). A reduction of about 10% in the HVL was obtained for the concrete from Damascus in comparison with that from Aleppo, for both neutrons and gammas. One of the other four types of concretes (from Rajo site, mostly hematite) was found to further reduce the HVL by about 10% for both neutrons and gamma rays.

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

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

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

(THIRTY-THIRD DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36343641; 13064 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Station in Wake County, North Carolina is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 33rd supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Carolina Power and Light Company (doing business as Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc.), nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which would occur on October 24, 2026. The power station is located within a 10,800-acre site of land in the southwest corner of Wake County and on the northwest shore of the 4,150-acre Harris Reservoir. The plant lies on a peninsula that extends into the reservoir. The plant consists of one unit equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a closed-cycle cooling system with a natural-draft cooling tower, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. The cooling system withdrawals cooling water from and discharges blowdown water to the Harris Reservoir. The unit is rated at 2,900 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 955 MW-electric (gross) and 900 MW-electric (net). The reactor, which was placed in service in January 1983 and was upgraded in 1999, is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Ten transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the unit would continue to withdraw process water from the Harris Reservoir and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the reservoir. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

Decommissioning experience will be developed in Europe and Asia over the next several years and that experience will be invaluable for the decommissioning of the next wave of plants in the USA. Industry and regulators will need to work cooperatively to ensure that the information is preserved and included in the design and operation of all new nuclear facilities, as well as in ongoing decommissioning projects. The paper describes the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's efforts to capture the decommissioning lessons learned from the first wave of decommissioning projects in USA.

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

The tectonically-oriented Pichgin and Habibullaev method was enhanced to be applicable in areas of rugged relief and topography. The enhanced profiles were tectonically interpreted and subsurface structures within the Khanaser Valley were delineated. Accordingly, a tectonic evolutional scenario of the valley was established and its hydrogeological characteristics were derived. An approach for groundwater exploration in areas of prominent relief and topography in dry areas such as the Khanaser Valley was established and its validity was estimated.

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

Last updated - 2017-02-22 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Paleoproterozoic granitoids in the basement of Bangladesh; a piece of the Indian Shield or an exotic fragment of the Gondwana jigsaw? AN - 51278181; 2008-035936 AB - We present the first precise age for Precambrian basement rocks in Bangladesh. These lie within the Dinajpur block, located between the Indian Craton to the southwest and the Shillong Massif to the east. There are no surface outcrops and the rocks were intersected by drill holes. They consist of a suite of tonalitic and granodioritic rocks, variously deformed to granitic gneiss and intruded by younger monzogranite. A tonalite obtained at a depth of 227.48 m in drill hole BH-2 at Maddhapara, in northwestern Bangladesh, records a SHRIMP zircon (super 207) Pb/ (super 206) Pb magmatic age of 1722+ or -6 Ma. Paleoproterozoic rocks with similar magmatic ages are unknown in the adjacent Indian blocks of the Chotanagpur Plateau (Indian Craton) or Shillong Massif. This lack of comparable ages may be due to the paucity of precise radiometric ages from the Indian terrains or, more likely, because there are real age differences, with the buried rocks at Maddhapara representing a separate and discrete microcontinental fragment (the Dinajpur block) that was trapped by the northward migration of India during Gondwana dispersal.

S. government agencies in subsurface reactive transport modeling AN - 51091216; 2008-028971 AB - The fate of contaminants in the environment is controlled by both chemical reactions and transport phenomena in the subsurface. Our ability to understand the significance of these processes over time requires an accurate conceptual model that incorporates the various mechanisms of coupled chemical and physical processes. Adsorption, desorption, ion exchange, precipitation, dissolution, growth, solid solution, redox, microbial activity, and other processes are often incorporated into reactive transport models for the prediction of contaminant fate and transport. U.S. federal agencies use such models to evaluate contaminant transport and provide guidance to decision makers and regulators for treatment issues. We provide summaries of selected research projects and programs to demonstrate the level of activity in various applications and to present examples of recent advances in subsurface reactive transport modeling.

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

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

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

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

(THIRTY-SECOND DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36346854; 12940 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station in Coffey County, Kansas is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 32nd supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current operating license, which March 11, 2025. The power station is located within a 135-acre encompassed by a 11,300-acre area owned by Kansas Gas and Electric Company, Kansas City Power and Light, and Kansas Electric Power Cooperative; the larger area encompassing the site includes Coffey County Lake (5,090 acres), the dam and dikes creating the lake (60 acres), a lime sludge pond (31 acres, and the Wolf Creek Environmental Education Area (500 acres). The plant's single nuclear reactor, which began operation on September 3, 1985, is a Westinghouse pressurized water reactor producing a reactor core power of 3,565-megawatts-thermal resulting in a design net capacity of 1,165 megawatts-electric. The applicant operates as a once-through cooling pond facility, with Coffee County Lake being the water source for the circulating water system as well as for ancillary water systems. The facility includes liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Ten transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Coffee County Lake and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

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

SUB-1010). AN - 36342513; 12934 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a reclamation plan for a 600-acre uranium conversion site in Gore, Oklahoma is proposed by the owner and operator of the site, Sequouah Fuels Corporation (SFC). In the reclamation plan it submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), SFC proposes to consolidate containment sludges and soils, demolish existing structures (with the exception of the administration building and the electrical substation), and construct an above-grade, on-site disposal cell for the permanent disposal of all contaminated materials. SFC would also implement a groundwater corrective action plan to restore the groundwater around the site using the hydraulic containment and pump back method. Following the completion of reclamation and groundwater corrective actions, SFC would seek termination of its NRC license. As part of that future license termination process, SFC would transfer approximately 324 acres of land within the site, including the land area encompassing the disposal cell and a surrounding buffer, to the custody of the United States or the state of Oklahoma for long-term control. SFC proposes that the remaining 276 acres within he site be released for unrestricted use by members of the public. Alternatives considered in this draft EIS include on-site disposal (Alternative 1; the proposed action as described above), off-site disposal, a partial off-site disposal, and a No Action Alternative. Estimated cost of the proposed action is $31.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would render the site safe, ensuring public health in the region. The new storage facility would provide for the safe disposal of substantial amounts of radioactive waste. Release of a portion of the SFC site for unrestricted use would allow for development of the disposed property or management of the property for natural resources preservation. The most likely reuse of the unrestricted land would be agriculture, which would result in a present net value of the cash income of $1.5 million under the proposed action. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: On-site disposal of all contaminated, as proposed, would result in 33.5 person-rems of radiation exposure for workers and 3,780 long-term person-rems of exposure for the public. Catastrophic disposal facility failure resulting from an accident or terrorist action would release far greater levels of radiation. Land retained within the facility for disposal purposes would be lost to other public uses.

AN - 36346744; 12929 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of an early site permit (ESP) for the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) site on the Savannah River in Burke County, Georgia is proposed to allow for the addition to two nuclear units to the two units already operating at the plant site. The VEGP site is located approximately 15 miles east-northeast of Waynesboro and 26 miles southeast of Augusta. The ESP candidate tract is adjacent to the existing VEGP Units 1 and 2 sites. The applicant, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc., requested authorization to perform certain site preparation activities if an ESP were issued. It must be remembered that an application for an ESP is, as a process, separate from the filing of an application for a construction permit or a combined operating license for a nuclear power facility. The latter permit and/or a license must be preceded by a separate EIS process. Three primary issues must be addressed in an ESP application, namely site safety, environmental impacts, and emergency planning. Regarding safety and emergency planning issues, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission seeks reasonable assurance that two Westinghouse Electric Company AP1000 advanced light-water reactors can be constructed and operated at the VEGP site without undue risk to public health and safety; that there are no significant impediments to the development of emergency plans; and that site characteristics allow for the development of adequate security plans and measures. In addition to the issuance of the ESP, this draft EIS considers four categories of alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, energy source alternatives, system design alternatives, and site alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new site's nuclear reactors would provide electric power, to be transmitted to the regional grid serviced by the applicant and used by residential, commercial, and industrial consumers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The staff has preliminary concluded that the site preparation and preliminary construction activities allowed by regulatory law would not result in any significant adverse environmental impact that cannot be redressed. The sites and access corridors could be affected by clearing and grading. Cooling system water would withdrawn from and returned to the Savannah River, resulting a thermal plume, both of which would affect the aquatic ecosystem and the recreational value of the river, as well as riverside visual and olfactory aesthetics.

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

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

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

AN - 36346292; 12825 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station on the western shore of Cape Cod Bay in the town of Plymouth, Plymouth County Massachusetts is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 29th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Energy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Energy), nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which June 8, 2012. The power station, which is located within in a 140-acre site, adjacent to 1,500 acres of additional land owned by Energy, on the western shore of Cape Cod Bay, consists of one unit equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, employs one boiling-water reactor unit and a steam-driven turbine generator manufactured by General Electric Company. The units were originally licensed for an output of 1,998 megawatts-thermal (MW[t]), and commercial operation began in December 1972. In 2003, the station underwent a thermal power optimization, which increased the electrical raging to 715 gross megawatts-electric (MW[e]). The reactor uses a once-through cooling system and a service water system that withdrawal water from Cape Cod Bay through an intake embayment formed by two breakwaters and returns water to the bay through a 900-foot trapezoidal discharge canal separated from the intake embayment by a breakwater. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Two 345-kilovolt transmission lines, on extending five miles and the other extending 2.2 miles, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site and adjacent land held by Energy would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from Cape Cod Bay and discharge water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

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

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

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

AN - 36341067; 12772 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the National Bureau of Standards Reactor, operated by the National Institute off Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Montgomery County, Maryland, is proposed to allow the reactor to continue operating for the next 20 years. The bureau has been renamed NIST. The reactor, which is located on the NIST campus, approximately 20 miles northwest of the District of Columbia, is a heavy water-moderated and cooled, enriched-fuel, tank-type reactor. It is a custom-designed variation of the Argonne CP-5 class reactor. The primary cooling system consists of a closed, recirculating heavy water in an aluminum and stainless steel containment structure. Heat from the reactor is transferred to a secondary cooling system of light water and, then, to the atmosphere by means of evaporation from a cooling tower located outside the confinement building. The reactor is employed by the NIST Center for Neutron Research, which is used by up to 2,000 engineers and scientists each year for research in materials science, non-destructive evaluation, chemistry, biology, trace analysis, neutron standards and Dosimetry, nuclear physics, and quantum metrology. The reactor is operated round the clock, seven days a week, with routine shutdowns every five to six weeks for partial refueling and, as needed, for maintenance. This is the second license renewal, the first renewal being granted May 16, 1984, and included a power uprate from 10 megawatts-thermal (MWth) to 20 MWth. That renewal was scheduled to expire on May 16, 2004. However, in accordance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations, NIST's application for renewal was received at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the existing license and the existing operating license will not be considered expired until the application has been assessed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow NIST to continue to operate the Center for Neutron Research, providing scientists and engineers with a large cold neutron source and seven neutron guides that allow the United States world class capabilities in cold neutron research. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the reactor would continue to result in a thermal plume from the cooling tower, affecting visual aesthetics and depositing heavy moisture on surrounding vegetation, though this would amount to an insignificant impact. The reactor would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

Preparation date: June 28, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: JAMES A FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, NINE MILE POINT, NEW YORK (THIRTY-FIRST DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36340016; 12749 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the James A. Fitzpatrick Nuclear Power Plant in the town of Scriba at Nine Mile Point on Lake Ontario is upstate New York is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 15th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which October 17, 2014. The power station, which achieved commercial operation in 1975, is located within in a 2702-acre site on the south shore of Lake Ontario in a largely rural area seven miles northeast of Oswego and 36 miles north-northwest of Syracuse. The nuclear power unit consists of a boiling water reactor with a rated thermal output of 2,536 megawatts (MW) and a corresponding rated electrical output of 881 MW. The power plant employs a once-through cooling system drawing water from Lake Ontario, which also provides for the plant's service water needs. Water is withdrawn from the lake via an offshore submerged intake structure and through an intake tunnel. Makeup water is returned to the lake via a discharge tunnel and an in-lake diffuser system. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Two single-circuit 345-kilovolt transmission lines, the 70-mile Edic line and the 0.9-mile Scriba line, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Lake Ontario and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

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

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

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

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

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

The present paper examines the behaviour of one of the NRC certified transportation casks, the HI-STAR 100, for drop impact events. The specific area examined is the behaviour of the bolted connections in the 'overpack' top flange and the closure plate, which are significantly loaded during the hypothetical drop impact event. The term 'overpack' refers to the cask that receives and contains a sealed multipurpose canister (MPC) containing spent nuclear fuel.

The delta super(18)O values of groundwater range from -6.8 to - 5.05ppt, while those for submarine springs vary from -6.34 to +1.08ppt (eastern Mediterranean seawater samples have a mean of +1.7ppt). Groundwater originates from the direct infiltration of atmospheric water. Stable isotopes show that the elevation of the recharge zones feeding the Banyas area (400- 600 m a.s.l.) is higher than that feeding the Amrit area (100-300 m a.s.l.). The super(18)O sub(extracted) ( super(18)O content of the seawater contribution) for the major submarine springs suggests a mean recharge area elevation of 600- 700 m a.s.l., and lower than 400 m a.s.l. for the spring close to Amrit. Based on the measured velocity and the percentage of fresh water at the submarine springs outlet, the estimated discharge rate is 350 million m super(3)/year. The tritium concentrations in groundwater (1.6-5.9 TU) are low and very close to the current rainfall values (2.9-5.6 TU). Adopting a model with exponential time distribution, the mean turnover time of groundwater in the Al-sen spring was evaluated to be 60 years. A value of about 3.7 billion m super(3) was obtained for the maximum groundwater reservoir size.Original Abstract: Se ha investigado el agua subterranea de sistemas karsticos principales y manantiales submarinos en el acuifero costero de calizas de Siria usando tecnicas quimicas e isotopicas. Los valores delta super(18)O de agua subterranea varian de -6.8 a -5.05ppt, mientras que los valores en manantiales submarinos varian de -6.34 a +1.08ppt (las muestras de agua de mar del Mediterraneo tienen una media de + 1.7ppt). el agua subterranea se deriva de la infiltracion directa de agua atmosferica. Los isotopos estables muestran que zonas de recarga que alimentan el area Banyas (400-600 m.s.n.m.) se encuentran a mayor altura que la zona de recarga que alimenta el area Amrit (100-300 m.s.n.m.). el valor super(18)O sub(extraido) (contenido super(18)O de la contribucion de agua de mar) para los manantiales submarinos principales sugiere una elevacion media para el area de recarga de 600-700 m.s.n.m. y menor que 400 m.s.n.m. para el manantial cercano a Amrit. En base a la medicion de velocidad y el porcentaje de agua fresca en la desembocadura de los manantiales submarinos se estimo una tasa de recarga de 350 millones m super(3)/ano. Las concentraciones de tritio en agua subterranea (1.6-5.9 UT) son bajas y muy cercanas a los valores de lluvia actual (2.9-5.6 UT). Se evaluo el tiempo de retorno del agua subterranea en el manantial Al-sen adoptando un modelo con distribucion de tiempo exponencial obteniendo un valor de 60 anos. Se obtuvo un valor de aproximadamente 3.7 billones de m super(3) para el tamano maximo del reservorio de aguas subterraneas.

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

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

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

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

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has pursued several domestic initiatives in the area of safety and security. One of the initiatives involved working with the US Department of Energy in a joint study on radiological dispersal devices. This study identified radionuclides and quantities of concern, with recommendations for improvements in the tracking and inventory of high risk sealed sources. To meet the recommendations from the joint study and the US commitments in the Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive sources, the NRC is developing a National Source Tracking System. The NRC has also developed an interim database as precursor to a National Source Tracking System.

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

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

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

AN - 70560719; 16973669 AB - The aim of the study was to evaluate the entrance surface doses (ESDs) to patients undergoing selected diagnostic X-ray examinations in major Sudanese hospitals. ESD per examination was estimated from X-ray tube output parameters in four hospitals comprising eight X-ray units and a sample of 346 radiographs. Hospital mean ESDs estimated range from 0.17 to 0.27 mGy for chest AP, 1.04-2.26 mGy for Skull AP/PA, 0.83-1.32 mGy for Skull LAT, 1.31-1.89 mGy for Pelvis AP, 1.46-3.33 mGy for Lumbar Spine AP and 2.9-9.9 mGy for Lumbar Spine LAT. With exception of chest PA examination at two hospitals, mean ESDs were found to be within the established international reference doses. The results are useful to national and professional organisations and can be used as a baseline upon which future dose measurements may be compared.

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

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

AN - 69048104; 18062192 AB - A chlorpyrifos (CPY)-degrading bacterial strain was isolated from an activated sludge sample collected from the Damascus Wastewater Treatment Plant, Syria. The isolation of Klebsiella sp. was facilitated by the addition of CPY at a rate of 3.84 g/L of sludge weekly (selection pressure). Identification of Klebsiella sp. was done using major staining and biochemical differentiation tests (Gram stain, cytochrome oxidase and some relevant saccharide fermentation tests using biochemical assays). Klebsiella sp. was maintained by culturing in a poor medium consisting of mineral salts and CPY as the sole carbon source. When 3 activated sludge samples were incubated in the presence of CPY (13.9 g/L sludge), 46% of added CPY were degraded within 4 d. By comparison, within 4 d the isolated Klebsiella sp. was found to break down 92% of CPY when co-incubated in a poor mineral medium in which CPY was the sole carbon source (13.9 g/L poor medium). Isolated Klebsiella sp. was able to tolerate up to 17.3 g of CPY in the poor medium.

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

AN - 68374846; 17097775 AB - Fallout from the Chernobyl reactor accident due to the transport of a radioactive cloud over Lebanon in the beginning of May 1986 was studied 12 years after the accident for determining the level of (137)Cs concentration in soil. Gamma spectroscopy measurements were performed by using coaxial high sensitivity HPGe detectors. More than 90 soil samples were collected from points uniformly distributed throughout the land of Lebanon in order to evaluate their radioactivity. The data obtained showed a relatively high (137)Cs activity per surface area contamination, up to 6545Bqm(-2) in the top soil layer 0-3cm. The average activity of (137)Cs in the top soil layer 0-3cm in depth was 59.7Bqkg(-1) dry soil ranging from 15 to 119Bqkg(-1) dry soil. The horizontal variability was found to be about 45% between the sampling sites. The depth distribution of total (137)Cs activity in soil showed an exponential decrease. Estimation of the annual effective dose due to external radiation from (137)Cs contaminated soil for selected sites gave values ranging from 19.3 to 91.6 micro Svy(-1).

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

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

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

In order to study the hydrogeological conditions of such region, a good knowledge is required of the geometry of the aquifer at depth. Ninety-six vertical electrical soundings (VES) using the Schlumberger array were carried out in the study area. The established iso-apparent resistivity maps for different AB/2 spacings indicate the presence of two different geological structures; characterized by very conductive zones of a resistivity <4 Omega m related to the intrusion of salt water in Quaternary and Paleogene deposits. Resistive zones have been signaled in Jebel Al Hass in the west and Jebel Shbith in the east, characterized by a resistivity exceeding 300 Omega m, due to the presence of basalt formation of upper Miocene age. Thickness of the Quaternary, Paleogene and their electrical characteristics have been precisely determined. The top of Maestrichtian and its electrical characteristics have been also well established. Quaternary paleosabkhas were delineated through the studying of three longitudinal profiles along the valley itself (LP1, LP2, and LP3). Fractured zones and tectonic features of the subsurface of Khanasser valley have been very well determined through the interpretation of VES of the profiles LP1, LP2, and LP3 using the Pichgin and Habibullaev method. The geoelectrical approach was successfully applied in the study area and can be therefore easily practiced in similar environments.

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

AN - 36341999; 12574 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station in the town of Vernon, Windham County, Vermont is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 30th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, South Carolina Electric and Gas Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which March 21, 2012. The power station is located within in a 125-acre site owned by the applicant, Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, LLC, and a narrow strip of land between the Connecticut River and the east boundary of the station property to which Entergy has perpetual rights and easements from the landowner. The station consists of a nuclear-powered, steam-electric-generating facility that began commercial operation on November 31, 1972. The unit is powered by a boiling water reactor manufactured by General Electric and featuring Mark I containment. The unit was originally licensed for a reactor core power of 1,593 megawatts-thermal (MW9t0), with a net electrical capacity of 540 MW-electric (MW(e)). However, on March 2, 2006, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved a power uprate to increase the maximum ore power level to 1,912 MW{t}, with a gross electrical output of 650 MW(e). Cooling water for the main condenser is withdrawn from the Connecticut River and circulated through the station in one of three modes of operation: open-cycle (also known as once-through cooling), hybrid-cycle, or closed-cycle. The mode of operation is selected by the applicant to limit heat discharged to the river. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Ten transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Connecticut River Reservoir and deliver makeup water back to the river. Release of water to the river from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

AN - 36347939; 12563 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station on the western shore of Cape Cod Bay in the town of Plymouth, Plymouth County Massachusetts is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 29th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Energy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Energy), nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which June 8, 2012. The power station, which is located within in a 140-acre site, adjacent to 1,500 acres of additional land owned by Energy, on the western shore of Cape Cod Bay, consists of one unit equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, employs one boiling-water reactor unit and a steam-driven turbine generator manufactured by General Electric Company. The unit was originally licensed for an output of 1,998 megawatts-thermal (MW[t]), and commercial operation began in December 1972. In 2003, the station underwent a thermal power optimization, which increased the electrical raging to 715 gross megawatts-electric (MW[e]). The reactor uses a once-through cooling system and a service water system that withdrawal water from Cape Cod Bay through an intake embayment formed by two breakwaters and returns water to the bay through a 900-foot trapezoidal discharge canal separated from the intake embayment by a breakwater. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Two 345-kilovolt transmission lines, on extending five miles and the other extending 2.2 miles, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site and adjacent land held by Energy would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from Cape Cod Bay and discharge water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere.

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

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

AN - 756824451; 12299-060432_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Palisades Nuclear Plant in Van Buren County, Michigan is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 27th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Nuclear Management Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; The decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is March 24, 2011. The power station, which is located within a 432-acre site in the Covert Township on the southeastern shoreline of Lake Michigan 4.5 miles south of South Haven, is powered by a pressurized water reactor with a primary coolant system consisting of two Closed loops in which reactor coolant is circulated. Heat from the reactor is transferred to steam generators to produce high-pressure steam that is routed through a steam turbine, condensed back to water in the main condenser and pumped back to the steam generators, thus providing for an isolated secondary cooling loop. The maximum calculated capacity of the turbine generator is 865 megawatts-electric ((MW(e)) gross. Heat transfer from the main condenser is accomplished by a third cooling loop. The plant takes reactor coolant water from Lake Michigan via a pipeline extending 3,300 feet into the lake to an intake structure and potable water is taken from the South Haven Municipal Water Authority. Water is withdrawn from Lake Michigan at a rate of 98,000 gallons per minute (gpm). After evaporative losses, the plant returns 86,000 gpm to the lake. The reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Non-radioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Two 345-kilovolt transmission lines, including a 0.6-mile line connecting to the American Electric Power system and a 40-mile line extending to the Michigan Electric Transmission Company connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw cooling water from the Lake Michigan and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Releases of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the local water district system. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclide's into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

Preparation date: October 13, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Near-surface eruptive state of wet versus dry magma AN - 742914926; 2010-054389 AB - The strong effect of dissolved water on the low-pressure (i.e., near surface) phase relations of basalt is well known. Magma essentially free of dissolved water (i.e., Dry Magma) cools during ascent and solidifies only by adiabatic expansion and conductive heat losses to the wall rock (see Fig.). The slope of the liquidus of Dry Magma relative to the steeper adiabatic cooling gradient ( approximately 0.5 degrees C/km) stalls and reverses solidification. Indigenous crystals are melted and as soon as the magma becomes superheated vigorous thermal convection ensues (e.g., Marsh, 1989; Hort et al., 1999). Thermal convection rapidly reduces the temperature to the liquidus where convection ceases and conductive losses may further drop the temperature promoting crystallization. The inevitable result is that the eruption temperature of Dry Magma will generally be near the liquidus, which is commonly observed for Hawaiian magmas and inferred for ocean ridge magmas. For magma containing significant amounts (> approximately 1 wt.%) of dissolved water (Wet Magma), the low-P liquidus and solidus have negative slopes. Magma near its liquidus temperature and saturated with water at 200 MPa, for example, will be at a temperature near or below the 1-atm solidus temperature. Isentropic ascent from a near liquidus temperature here also causes cooling, promoting solidification (e.g., Mastin and Ghiorso, 2001). Exsolving water with approach to the surface promotes rapid vesiculation leading to fragmentation and tephra production. With continued ascent the still water-saturated magma traverses the phase field and undergoes a combination of rapid crystallization and quenching, becoming a glassy highly viscous ( approximately 109 p) mass of greatly reduced mobility. This is reflected in the high effective viscosity regulating flows from cinder cones associated with wet basalt, which matches well with the rheology of dry basalt glass of Webb and Dingwell (1990). Wet basalt is explosive, but relatively immobile as lava. Dry Magma is not explosive, but highly mobile as lava. [The views expressed herein are the authors'.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(TWENTY-SIXTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, MINNESOTA. (TWENTY-SIXTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 756824369; 12261-060391_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant in southern Minnesota is proposed to extend The licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 26th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither The applicant, Nuclear Management Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission have identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to The final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether The plant should continue to operate; The decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license. The power station, which is located within in a 2,150-acre site, with approximately two miles of frontage on the north and south banks of the Mississippi River. The site lies 22 miles southeast of St Cloud and 30 miles northwest of Minneapolis/St. Paul, and the primarily agricultural project study area includes portions of Wright and Sherburne counties. The plant and its ancillary facilities, which occupy approximately 50 acres within the site, consists of primarily of one single-cycle, forced circulation, low-power density boiling water reactor designed by the General Electric Company, which also designed the turbine generator unit and its related systems. Monticello was designed for operation at power levels up to 1,670 megawatts-thermal (MW(t)) and generation levels up to 545 MW-electric (MW(e)). However, an upgrade license amendment was approved in 1998, providing for a current rated thermal output of 1,775 MW(t) and an electrical output of 600 MW(e). The reactor containment structure consists a drywell enclosing The reactor vessel and recirculation pumps, a pressure suppression chamber serving to store a large volume of water, a connecting vent system between The drywell and The suppression chamber, and isolation valves. The reactor is served by a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to The Mississippi River. A steam generator is connected to the reactor vessel. The reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Non-radioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. The 44.1-mile Monticello-Coon Creek 345-kilovolt transmission line and The 13.3-mile Monticello-Parker Lake 345-kilovolt transmission line connects The station to The regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of The license, which is The preferred alternative, would allow The applicant to meet The needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew The license and subsequent decommissioning of The plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of The associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of The units would continue to withdraw process water from The Mississippi River and deliver makeup water back to The reservoir. Release of water to The reservoir from The cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting The near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from The lake. Diesel generators and boilers at The site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into The atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclide's into The surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

These species can be potentially used as biomonitors. The INAA method involved irradiations using thermal and epithermal neutrons at the Dalhousie University SLOWPOKE-2 Reactor (DUSR) facility followed by conventional and anti-coincidence g-ray spectrometry. The precision in terms of relative standard deviation was within plus or minus 4%. The accuracy of the methods was evaluated by analyzing four reference materials. Our results were within plus or minus 3% of the certified or information values in all cases.

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

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

[Part 1 of 2] T2 - EARLY SITE PERMIT AT THE EXELON ESP SITE, CLINTON POWER STATION, DEWITT COUNTY, ILLINOIS. AN - 873125164; 12190-0_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance to Exelon Generation Company, LLC, of an early site permit (ESP) for a location 461-acre tract identified for the sitting of one nuclear power unit at the Exelon ESP site, adjacent to the Clinton Power Station (CPS), Unit 1, In DeWitt County, Illinois is proposed. The site is located approximately six miles east of the city of Clinton on a peninsula jutting into Clinton Lake between the Salt Creek North Fork arm and the Salt Creek arm. . The ESP would not necessary permit construction and operation of a nuclear facility at the site, though an ESP may refer to a reactor's characteristics or plant parameter envelope (PPE), which is a set of postulated design parameters that bound the characteristics of a reactor or reactors that could be built at a selected site. Alternatively, an ESP application may refer to a detailed reactor design. An ESP is issued to initiate a process to assess whether a proposed site is suitable should the applicant decide to pursue a construction permit or combined construction permit and operation license. Three primary issues must be addressed in an ESP application, namely, site safety, environmental impacts and emergency planning. In the proposal at hand, the ESP applicant requested authorization to perform certain site preparation activities after the ESP is issued. No specific plant design has been chosen by Exelon for the new nuclear unit; rather, a set of bounding parameters, the aforementioned PPE, for the addition of one to eight reactor modules grouped into one facility or unit. The site is evaluated for the construction and operation of various numbers of new reactors and/or modules configured as one operating unit to provide a thermal energy capacity of 6,800 megawatts. The new unit would use either a wet cooling system (natural draft or mechanical draft cooling towers) or a hybrid of wet/dry cooling system. The entire site has been either graded or otherwise developed for the operation of the existing nuclear power plant. Recreation is the only special land use within the vicinity of the site. The anticipated transmission line rights-of-way for the ESP facility would be the existing rights-of-way used to transmit power generated by the CPS. These rights-of-way extend 23 miles to the north and 20 miles to the south of the site. In addition to the proposed Exelon site, six alternative sites located in Illinois are also considered in this final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Issuance of the ESP would allow Exelon to more specifically determine the feasibility of constructing and operating additional nuclear facilities at the CPS. Power generated by such facilities would contribute to Exelon's ability to maintain system flexibility and reliability and increase its user market. Construction and operation activities would increase employment rolls and otherwise contribute to the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of the ESP site could affect a significant extent of prime farmland, which constitutes 84 percent of the site. Wildlife habitat would be affected, but less so. Withdrawal and return of water into Lake Clinton would be required. Returned water would be significantly warmer that water withdrawn, resulting in a thermal plume extending outward into the lake and laterally according to the direction of the littoral current, affecting near-shore fish and amphibian habitat. Transmission rights-of-way would continue to displace 700 acres for the northern corridor and 610 acres for the southern corridor. In the event that nuclear facilities are developed on the ESP, the radiological hazards associated with the plant would be increased somewhat.

The new unit would use either a wet cooling system (natural draft or mechanical draft cooling towers) or a hybrid of wet/dry cooling system. The entire site has been either graded or otherwise developed for the operation of the existing nuclear power plant. Recreation is the only special land use within the vicinity of the site. The anticipated transmission line rights-of-way for the ESP facility would be the existing rights-of-way used to transmit power generated by the CPS. These rights-of-way extend 23 miles to the north and 20 miles to the south of the site. In addition to the proposed Exelon site, six alternative sites located in Illinois are also considered in this final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Issuance of the ESP would allow Exelon to more specifically determine the feasibility of constructing and operating additional nuclear facilities at the CPS. Power generated by such facilities would contribute to Exelon's ability to maintain system flexibility and reliability and increase its user market. Construction and operation activities would increase employment rolls and otherwise contribute to the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of the ESP site could affect a significant extent of prime farmland, which constitutes 84 percent of the site. Wildlife habitat would be affected, but less so. Withdrawal and return of water into Lake Clinton would be required. Returned water would be significantly warmer that water withdrawn, resulting in a thermal plume extending outward into the lake and laterally according to the direction of the littoral current, affecting near-shore fish and amphibian habitat. Transmission rights-of-way would continue to displace 700 acres for the northern corridor and 610 acres for the southern corridor. In the event that nuclear facilities are developed on the ESP, the radiological hazards associated with the plant would be increased somewhat.

The site is located approximately six miles east of the city of Clinton on a peninsula jutting into Clinton Lake between the Salt Creek North Fork arm and the Salt Creek arm. . The ESP would not necessary permit construction and operation of a nuclear facility at the site, though an ESP may refer to a reactor's characteristics or plant parameter envelope (PPE), which is a set of postulated design parameters that bound the characteristics of a reactor or reactors that could be built at a selected site. Alternatively, an ESP application may refer to a detailed reactor design. An ESP is issued to initiate a process to assess whether a proposed site is suitable should the applicant decide to pursue a construction permit or combined construction permit and operation license. Three primary issues must be addressed in an ESP application, namely, site safety, environmental impacts and emergency planning. In the proposal at hand, the ESP applicant requested authorization to perform certain site preparation activities after the ESP is issued.

AN - 36345754; 12159 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a early site permit (ESP) for the North Anna Power Station (NAPS), on Lake Anna, Louisa County, Virginia is proposed in a preliminary EIS of January 2004. Approval of the permit would allow the applicant, Dominion Nuclear North Anna, LLC (Dominion), to develop a site within the existing North Anna Power Station for the construction and operation of new nuclear power generating facilities. This draft supplemental EIS amends the ESP application to request the implementation of a new approach for cooling the Unit 3 reactor. Under the new approach, Unit 3 would use a closed-cycle cooling system rather than the originally proposed once-trough cooling system. The newly proposed cooling system would not use the 3,400-acrewaste heat treatment facility for cooling. Dominion also proposes to increase the power level of both unit 3 and Unit 4 from 4,300 megawatts-thermal (MW(t)) to 4,500 megawatts(t). The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's analysis The proposed action does not constitute any decision or approval to construct or operate one or more units; these matters would be concerned only upon the filing of applications for a construction permit and operating license. No alternative land use has been identified. This EIS include Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff analysis considering and weighing the environmental impacts of construction and operation of two new nuclear units at he North Anna ESP, or at alternative sites. It also includes the staff's preliminary recommendation, which is to issue the ESP. The preliminary report recommendation is based on the Environmental Report, submitted by Dominion, as revised; consultation with federal state, and tribal, and local agencies; the staff's independent review; and the assessments summarized in the draft EIS, including the potential mitigation measures identified. The staff has also concluded that there are no environmentally preferable or obviously superior site. Three primary issues, namely site safety, environmental impacts, and emergency *planning, must be addressed in the ESP application. Issues addressed also include land use, meteorology and air quality, site geology, hydrology, water use, water quality, terrestrial and aquatic ecology, socioeconomics, historical and cultural resources, environmental justice, site layout and plant parameter envelope, plant water use, cooling system, radioactive and non-radioactive waste management, radiological and non-radiological health imp[acts, fuel cycle, transportation, of nuclear fuels and radioactive wastes, and decommissioning, and use of light-water reactors vs. gas-cooled creators. Alternative sites considered in the draft EIS include the Savannah River site and the Portsmouth ESP site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The newly sites nuclear reactors would provide electric power, to be transmitted to the power regional grid services by Dominion and used by residential, commercial, and industrial users. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The staff has preliminary concluded that the site preparation and preliminary construction activities allowed by regulatory law would not result in any significant adverse environmental impact that cannot be redressed. The sites wand access corridors could be affected by clearing, grading long-term disturbance of 128 acres, with an additional 67.9 acres to be disturbed on a short-term basis. Cooling system water would withdrawn from and returned to Lake Anna, resulting in lake drawdown and a thermal plume, both of which would affect the aquatic ecosystem and the recreational value of the lake, respectively, as well as lakeside visual and olfactory aesthetics.

AN - 36340489; 12117 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station adjacent to Barnegat Bay in Ocean County of eastern New Jersey is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 28th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, AmerGen Energy Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which April 9, 2009. The power station, which is located within in a 800-acre site 35 miles north of Atlantic City and 50 miles east of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, consists of one unit boiling-water reactor designed by General Electric and featuring Mark I containment. The unit produces a reactor core power of 1,930 megawatts-thermal, with a net electrical capacity of 640 megawatts-electric that uses a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Barnegat Bay through the lower reaches of the Forked River. Heated cooling water is discharged to Oyster Creek, which flows back into the Bay. The reactor, which was placed in service in December 1969, is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Non-radioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Power transmission from the facility depends on the local 230-kilovolt transmission system consisting of two transmission lines, extending a total of 25.1 miles. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Barnegat Bay and deliver makeup water back to the bay. Release of water to the bay from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the bay as well. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

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

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

There is always a need to have baseline background level information about super(137)Cs and the corresponding gamma-ray doses to the population. In this respect, soil samples were collected to a depth of 30-50 cm from all 34 district headquarters of the Punjab province of Pakistan and super(137)Cs activity concentrations were measured. super(137)Cs activity concentration was found to be in the range from 1.1 plus or minus 1.0 to 5.3 plus or minus 2.5 Bq kg super(-1). The average value of estimated external gamma-ray dose rate from all 34 districts of Punjab province was computed to be 0.18 plus or minus 0.07 nSv h super(-1) from super(137)Cs in soil samples. The measured super(137)Cs activity concentration range was compared with the reported ranges in the literature from some of the other locations in the world. Results obtained in this study show that super(137)Cs concentration is of a lower level in the investigated area. The average value of estimated external effective dose rate is found far below the dose rate limit of 1.0 mSv y super(-1) for members of the general public recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) as well as the external gamma radiation dose of 0.48 mSv y super(-1) received per head from the natural sources of radiation assessed by UNSCEAR (2000). It is concluded that super(137)Cs soil contamination does not pose radiation hazards to the population in the investigated areas.

(TWENTY-FOURTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36345553; 12083 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, units 1 and 2, Lake Ontario, New York is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 24h supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Nine Mile Point Units 1 and 2 are operated 15 exclusively by the applicant, a subsidiary of Constellation Generation Group, LLC, which in turn is a 16 member of Constellation Energy Group. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which are August 22, 10 2009 for Unit 1, and October 31, 2026 for Unit 2. The Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station (Nine Mile Point) is located on the southeastern shore of Lake Ontario in the Town of Scriba, New York. The station consists of two units. Both units are boiling water reactors (BWRs), which produce steam that turns turbines to generate electricity. The plant obtains cooling water from Lake Ontario. Unit 1 employs once-through cooling. Unit 1 has a power rating of 1,850 megawatts thermal [MW(t)] and 615 megawatts electric [MW(e)]. Unit 2 has closed-cycle cooling and utilizes a natural-draft cooling tower. Unit 2 has a power rating of 3,467 MW(t) and 1,144 MW(e). The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Non-radioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. The electricity generated by Nine Mile Point is connected to the grid by three single-circuit 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines (see Figure 2-5). Two of these lines connect to Unit 1 's 345-kV Switchyard (Clay Line 8 and Scriba Line 9) and one is connected to Unit 2's 345-kV Switchyard (Scriba Line 23). At the other end, Lines 9 and 23 connect to the grid at the Scriba Substation, located approximately 600 m (2000 ft) southeast of the Unit 1 and 2 Switchyards. Line 8 extends approximately 42 km (26 mi) southeast and connects to the grid at the Clay Substation. The transmission line corridor for Line 8 is approximately 150 m (500 ft) wide and is owned by Niagara Mohawk Co. In addition to the two 345-kV switchyards for outgoing electricity, each unit at Nine Mile Point has a 115-kV switchyard that brings in electricity from offsite sources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Lake Ontario and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

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

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

AN - 36340418; 12021 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2, near the mouth of Cape Fear River in Brunswick County, North Carolina is proposed. is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 25th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, South Carolina Electric and Gas Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the operating licenses are renewed, State regulatory agencies and the applicant would decide whether the plant would continue to operate based on factors such as the need for power or other matters within the state's jurisdiction or the purview of the owners. If the licenses are not renewed, the plant must shut down at or before the expiration dates of the current operating licenses, which are September 8, 2016 and December 27, 2014 for units 1 and 2, respectively. The plant is situated on 1,200 acres of land within a site boundary encompassing 962 acres. The protected area is surrounded by a perimeter fence contains two reactor buildings and the turbine, control, radioactive waste, and diesel generator buildings. Major administrative and support facilities cover 130 acres. The units have been operating since 1974 (Unit 2) and 1976 (Unit 1). Each unit uses a boiling water reactor and a steam-driven turbine generator manufactured by General Electric, a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from the Cape Fear River Estuary and discharges water into the Atlantic Ocean via a six-mile canal leading to Caswell Beach, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. As originally installed each unit was rated at 2,436 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 821 MW-electric. In 1996, the utility obtained the permission to increase the output of each of the units to 2,558 MW-thermal. Currently, each unit has a core thermal level of 2,923 MW-thermal, with Unit 1 capable of providing 958 MW-electric and Unit 2 capable of providing 951 MW-electric. Each reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Non-radioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Eight transmission lines, extending a total of 388 miles, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Cape Fear River Estuary and deliver makeup water back to the Atlantic Ocean. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

Preparation date: April 17, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - EARLY SITE PERMIT (ESP) AT THE GRAND GULF ESP SITE, CLAIBORNE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI. AN - 16354983; 12005 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of an Early Site Permit (ESP) to Systems Energy Resources, Inc. is proposed for the development of a nuclear generating facility within the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station site boundaries in Claiborne County, Mississippi. The 2,100-acre Grand Gulf site, of which 400 acres would be set aside for development of the generator related to the ESP, is located 25 miles south of Vicksburg, six miles northwest of Port Gibson, and 37 miles north-northeast of Natchez. No specific plant design has been chosen for the one or two new units. Instead, a plant parameter envelope (PPE) was provided to provide bounds for evaluating the impacts of construction and operation of one ore more nuclear power plants at the ESP site. The PPE envisions construction and operation of various numbers of new reactors and/or modules, configured as one or more operating units and providing up to a total of 8,600 megawatts-thermal or 3,000 megawatts-electric. Final thermal power would be dependent on the reactor plant type selected for construction at later stages in the environmental review process. Waste heat would be dissipated by either mechanical draft or natural draft cooling towers. Makeup water for the cooling towers and water for other site activities would be withdrawn from the Mississippi River through an intake structure. Transmission line construction, operation, and impacts are not discussed as the applicant has decided not to outline transmission facilities related to the proposal as yet. In addition to the proposed action, this EIS addresses a No Action Alternative, alternative energy sources, system design alternatives, and alternative reactor sites. The preferred alternative would involve issuance of the ESP to the applicant for construction and operation of a nuclear at the proposed sites. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Issuance of the ESP would allow for addressing of safety and environmental issues before facilities are built, providing for opportunities for early resolution of safety and environmental issues related to the construction and operation of a nuclear generation facility. The ESP would allow the applicant to determine more specifically the feasibility of constructing and operating additional nuclear facilities at the Grand Gulf site. Power generated by such facilities would contribute to the applicant's ability to maintain system flexibility and reliability and increase its user market. Construction and operation activities would increase employment rolls and otherwise contribute to the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of the ESP site could affect 145 acres of hardwood forest and 105 acres of upland field, with approximately 43 acres of forested habitat permanently lost. Transmission line upgrades and possible creation of new transmission line corridors would result in further loss of land and vegetative resources, including wildlife habitat. The plant cooling system would consume substantial amounts of water from the Mississippi River. In the event that nuclear facilities were developed on the ESP, the occupational and public radiological hazards associated with the plant would be increased somewhat.

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

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

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

AN - 16354836; 11923 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Palisades Nuclear Plant in Van Buren County, Michigan is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 27th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Nuclear Management Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is March 24, 2011. The power station, which is located within a 432-acre site in the Covert Township on the southeastern shoreline of Lake Michigan 4.5 miles south of South Haven, is powered by a pressurized water reactor with a primary coolant system consisting of two Closed loops in which reactor coolant is circulated. Heat from the reactor is transferred to steam generators to produce high-pressure steam that is routed through a steam turbine, condensed back to water in the main condenser and pumped back to the steam generators, thus providing for an isolated secondary cooling loop. The maximum calculated capacity of The turbine generator is 865 megawatts-electric ((MW(e)) gross. Heat transfer from the main condenser is accomplished by a third cooling loop. The plant takes reactor coolant water from Lake Michigan via a pipeline extending 3,300 feet into the lake to an intake structure and potable water is taken from the South Haven Municipal Water Authority. Water is withdrawn from Lake Michigan at a rate of 98,000 gallons per minute (gpm). After evaporative losses, the plant returns 86,000 gpm to the lake. The reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Two 345-kilovolt transmission lines, including a 0.6-mile line connecting to the American Electric Power system and a 40-mile line extending to the Michigan Electric Transmission Company connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw cooling water from the Lake Michigan and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Releases of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the local water district system. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

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

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

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

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

A principal aim of nuclear security is to prevent actions that can cause harm to humans -- a safety objective. Synergy between safety and security thus seems natural and easily achieved. However, some aspects, principally culture differenences between the two communities, may hinder this desirable synergy. Examples of fruitful collaboration between safety and security are detailed and possible obstructions for straightforward synergy are discussed. Ways of overcoming some of the obstructions are suggested. JF - EFFECTIVE NUCLEAR REGULATORY SYSTEMS: FACING SAFETY AND SECURITY CHALLENGES.

Adoption of the IAEAs Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources and the Guidance on the Import and Export of Radioactive Sources has provided an expanded scope for ensuring the safety and security of radiation sources from `cradle to grave'. Recent shipment of nuclear fuel through the port of Tema, Ghana, to and from Koeberg, South Africa, is presented as a case study of the practical application of the Code and the Guidance documents.

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