[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 For the units under consideration, cooling water would be withdrawn from the north shore of the MCR through an intake structure, circulate through the main condensers for proposed Units 3 and 4, and then return to the MCR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lost from the MCR through ground seepage, evaporation, and release to the Colorado River would be replaced with water withdrawn from the Colorado River at the reservoir makeup pumping facility (RMPF) located to the east of the proposed units.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).
