(TWENTY-SIXTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36341551; 11905 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant in southern Minnesota is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 26th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all licenses renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Nuclear Management Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission have identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license. The power station, which is located within in a 2,150-acre site, with approximately two miles of frontage on the north and south banks of the Mississippi River. The site lies 22 miles southeast of St Cloud and 30 miles northwest of Minneapolis/St. Paul, and the primarily agricultural project study area includes portions of Wright and Sherburne counties. The plant and its ancillary facilities, which occupy approximately 50 acres within the site, consists of primarily of one single-cycle, forced circulation, low-power density boiling water reactor designed by the General Electric Company, which also designed the turbine generator unit and its related systems. Monticello was designed for operation at power levels up to 1,670 megawatts-thermal (MW(t)) and generation levels up to 545 MW-electric (MW(e)). However, an upgrade license amendment was approved in 1998, providing for a current rated thermal output of 1,775 MW(t) and an electrical output of 600 MW(e). The reactor containment structure consists a drywell enclosing the reactor vessel and recirculation pumps, a pressure suppression chamber serving to store a large volume of water, a connecting vent system between the drywell and the suppression chamber , and isolation valves. The reactor is served by a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Mississippi River. A steam generator is connected to the reactor vessel. The reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. the 44.1-mile Monticello-Coon Creek 345-kilovolt transmission line and the 13.3-mile Monticello-Parker Lake 345-kilovolt transmission line connects the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license, which is the preferred alternative, would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Mississippi River and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclide's into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. 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 - 36351505; 12617 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station adjacent to Barnegat Bay in Ocean County of eastern New Jersey is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 28th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, AmerGen Energy Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which April 9, 2009. The power station, which is located within in a 800-acre site 35 miles north of Atlantic City and 50 miles east of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, consists of one unit boiling-water reactor designed by General Electric and featuring Mark I containment. The unit produces a reactor core power of 1,930 megawatts-thermal, with a net electrical capacity of 640 megawatts-electric that uses a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Barnegat Bay through the lower reaches of the Forked River. Heated cooling water is discharged to Oyster Creek, which flows back into the Bay. The reactor, which was placed in service in December 1969, is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Power transmission from the facility depends on the local 230-kilovolt transmission system consisting of two transmission lines, extending a total of 25.1 miles. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Barnegat Bay and deliver makeup water back to the bay. Release of water to the bay from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the bay as well. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

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

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

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

AN - 68023536; 16581923 AB - Following the publication of the EU Council Directive 96/29, EURADOS coordinated two working groups (WGs) for promoting the process of harmonisation on individual monitoring of occupationally exposed persons in Europe. An overview of the major findings of the second WG is presented. Information on the technical and quality standards and on the accreditation and approval procedures has been compiled. The catalogue of dosimetric services has been updated and extended. An overview of national regulations and standards for protection from radon and other natural sources in workplaces has been made, attempting to combine the results from individual monitoring for external, internal and workplace monitoring. A first status description of the active personal dosemeters, including legislative and technical information, and their implementation has been made. The importance of practical factors on the uncertainty in the dose measurement has been estimated. Even if a big progress has been made towards harmonisation, there is still work to be done.

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

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

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

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

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

Vertical distributions of super(137)Cs in the collected profiles were found to be strongly correlated with soil type and five groups were identified. Based on these profiles, total super(137)Cs inventory (bomb test and Chernobyl) varied between 320 Bq m super(-2) and 9647 Bq m super(-2). Geographical mapping of super(137)Cs inventories showed that the highest values were found in the coastal, middle and north-east regions of Syria indicating that Chernobyl atmospheric contribution to the total super(137)Cs deposition in the region is predominant. In contrast, the lowest values were found in the south-east region (Syrian Badia), where a relatively uniform distribution was observed, which may only be attributed to the past global nuclear bomb test.

Air filters were collected during 2000- 2001 and extracted chemically using different selective fluids in an attempt to identify the different forms of trace elements. Approximately 60% of lead in air particulates of both cities was found to be associated with organic materials produced by incomplete burning of vehicles fuels and residential heating; the remaining 40% of lead was as lead oxides and mineral acids soluble compounds. Zinc was found in oxides (28-65%) samples collected in Tartous city, indicating that the Tartous cement factory and phosphate loading cargoes are the main source of emissions. In the Darya filters, zinc associated with organic materials (28-49%) was related to the presence of plastic molding industries and corroding car tires. In addition, copper was also found to be in the form of oxides (19-46%) in both cities in the summer periods, while 13-25% and 35% are associated with organic materials and silicates, respectively. Differences in chemical forms of the studied trace elements in air particulates were found to be related to differences in air pollution sources and differences in human behaviour throughout the year. Therefore, chemical fractionation of trace elements in air particulates using sequential leaching can be used for identification of air pollutions sources in urban and industrial areas.

The analysis was conducted using the IAEA's model MAED, which relies upon the end-use approach. This model has been validated during the last two decades through the successful application in many developing countries, even those having partial market economy and energy subsidy. Starting from the base year, final energy consumption distributed by energy forms and consumption sectors, the future energy and electricity demand has been projected according to three different scenarios reflecting the possible future demographic, socio-economic and technological development of the country. These scenarios are constructed to cover a plausible range, in which future evolution factors affecting energy demand are expected to lie. The first is a high economy scenario (HS) representing the reference case, which is characterized by high gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate (average annual about 6%) and moderate improved technologies in the various consumption sectors. The second is an energy efficiency scenario (ES), which is identical to HS in all main parameters except these relating to the efficiency improvement and conservation measures. Here, high technology improvement and more effective conservation measures in all consumption sectors are proposed and the role of solar to substitute fossil energy for heating purposes is considered effectively. The third is a low economy scenario (LS) with low GDP growth rate (average annual about 3.5%) and less technology improvement in the consumption sectors. As a consequence, the improvement in the energy efficiency is low and the influence of conservation measures is less effective. Starting from about 10.5 mtoe final energy in the base year, the analysis shows that the projected energy demand will grow annually at average rates of 5%, 4.5% and 3% for the HS, ES and LS, respectively. Comparing to the HS, the conservation measures and technology improvement in the ES would save ca. 0.8 mtoe in 2010, 2.3 mtoe in 2020 and 5.7 mtoe in 2030. The final electricity demand of about 16.7 TWh in the base year will grow annually at average rates of 5.5%, 5% and 3.4% for the HS, ES and LS, respectively. During the study period 1999-2030 the annual electricity per capita will increase from about 1000 kWh to 2800, 2500 and 1500 kWh for the HS, ES and LS, respectively. The final energy intensity will decrease continuously from about 0.73 kgoe/US$ in the base year to 0.48 kgoe/US$, 0.42 kgoe/US$ and 0.67 kgoe/US$ super(2) for the HS, ES and LS, respectively in the year 2030. These values indicate intensive final energy consumption in Syria compared to developing countries.

The proposed interpretative method first has been tested on theoretical synthetic models with different random errors at a certain depth, where a very close agreement has been observed between assumed and evaluated parameters. Subsequent field data have been considered for which the interpreted results by other methods are available for comparison. The agreement between the obtained results by the proposed technique and by other geophysical methods is good. A statistical analysis has been also carried out to demonstrate the accuracy and the precision of the suggested interpretative method.

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

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

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

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

Radiochemical analysis has shown that these plants contain high levels of super(210)Pb, super(210)Po, super(137)Cs. The highest concentration of super(210)Pb, super(210)Po and super(137)Cs were found to be 1450, 1322 and 1140 Bq super( .) kg super(-1) dry wt. in L. cernuum, respectively. F. hygrometrica was found to have higher values of super(210)Pb and super(210)Po concentrations and reached 2392 and 2119 Bq super( .) kg super(-1) dry wt., respectively. Correlation coefficients for radionuclide levels in both plants versus their levels in soil have been determined: No correlation for super(137)Cs for both plants has been observed. This indicates that super(137)Cs in these plants is of atmospheric origin and the plants can be used as deposition indicators. In addition, a correlation with radionuclide levels was found only for super(210)Pb and super(210)Po in F. hygrometrica samples and was mainly related to super(226)Ra content in soil and the existing faults, which are the main source of these radionuclides. On the other hand, lead concentration in L. cernuum was found to be in the range of 5-86.6 ppm, while F. hygrometrica samples were found to contain around 58 ppm. Both plants seem to accumulate lead from the atmosphere where vehicle emissions are the main source of lead in the region. Comparable concentrations of Cu and Zn were found in all plant and soil samples.

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

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

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

I propose that the megaflood that carved Ravi Vallis incised the crust more than 700 m, penetrated the cryosphere, and triggered the release of groundwater and genesis of secondary chaos zones in the deepest parts of the channel system. Discharge rates of 4 x 10 super(6) to 5 x 10 super(7) m super(3) s super(-1) are estimated for early overland flooding. Assuming bank-full flow would yield unrealistic discharge rates of >3 x 10 super(8) m super(3) s super(-1). Waning stage flooding in an inner channel had a discharge rate on the order of 1 x 10 super(6) m super(3) s super(-1). The cryosphere thickness and groundwater depth are estimated as the sum of the channel incision depth and the thickness of residual cryosphere beneath the channel floor that could be disrupted by high artesian pressure. The surface elevation (-1231 m) of a transient water body in Aromatum Chaos would have controlled the maximum potentiometric heads in confined aquifers to the east. Where Iamuna Chaos was spawned, the floor of Ravi Vallis would have experienced upward hydraulic pressures of <=2.4 MPa, enough to rupture a basaltic rock layer <=255 m thick. At the time of the flood the cryosphere thickness and groundwater depth would have been 700 to 1000 m at this location on the equator, indicating a relatively cold, long-term climate trend similar to that of present-day Mars. The crustal heat flux likely exceeded 50 mW m super(-2) at Iamuna Chaos. If deep lakes existed at that time in the ancestral Valles Marineris, their ice covers are estimated to have been less than 3 km thick. The fluvial incision and groundwater breakout model described here can fully account for the inception of Iamuna Chaos, Oxia Chaos, and a smaller unnamed chaos. Therefore a locally enhanced crustal heat flux was not required to initiate the formation of these chaotes. JF - Journal of Geophysical Research.

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

AN - 36421143; 11633 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2, near the mouth of Cape Fear River in Brunswick County, North Carolina is proposed. is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 25th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, South Carolina Electric and Gas Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the operating licenses are renewed, State regulatory agencies and the applicant would decide whether the plant would continue to operate based on factors such as the need for power or other matters within the state's jurisdiction or the purview of the owners. If the licenses are not renewed, the plant must shut down at or before the expiration dates of the current operation licenses, which are September 8, 2016 and December 27, 2014 for units 1 and 2, respectively. The plant is situated on 1,200 acres of land within a site boundary encompassing 962 acres. The protected area is surrounded by a perimeter fence contains two reactor buildings and the turbine, control, radioactive waste, and diesel generator buildings. Major administrative and support facilities cover 130 acres. The units have been operating since 1974 (Unit 2) and 1976 (Unit 1). Each unit uses a boiling water reactor and a steam-driven turbine generator manufactured by General Electric, a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from the Cape Fear River Estuary and discharges water into the Atlantic Ocean via a six-mile canal leading to Caswell Beach, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. As originally installed each unit was rated at 2,436 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 821 MW-electric. In 1996, the utility obtained the permission to increase the output of each of the units to 2,558 MW-thermal. Currently, each unit has a core thermal level of 2,923 MW-thermal, with Unit 1 capable of providing 958 MW-electric and Unit 2 capable of providing 951 MW-electric. Each reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Eight transmission lines, extending a total of 388 miles, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Cape Fear River Estuary and deliver makeup water back to the Atlantic Ocean. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

AN - 16347579; 11615 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, located on the shores of Lake Michigan in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 23rd supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, the Nuclear Management Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this final supplement to the final EIS. If the licenses are renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating licenses are not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is October 5, 2010, for Unit 1 and March 8, 2013, for Unit 2. The power station, which is located within in a 1,260-acre site, 1,050 acres of which are used for agricultural purposes. Each of the units uses a pressurized light-water reactor designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a once-through cooling system, which withdrawals from and discharges to Lake Michigan, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. Each unit is rated at 1,540 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding net electrical output of approximately 518 MW-electric. Units 1 and 2, which were placed in service in December 1970 and October 1972, respectively, are housed in vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four 345-kilovolt transmission lines, extending nine to 46.5 miles, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from Lake Michigan and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

Preparation date: August 16, 2005 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - REMEDIATON OF THE MOAB URANIUM MILL TAILINGS, GRAND AND SAN JUAN COUNTIES, UTAH. AN - 36441361; 11666 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36380728; 050490F-050313_0045 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36379827; 050490F-050313_0055 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat.

AN - 36379383; 050490F-050313_0070 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36378827; 050490F-050313_0056 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999.

AN - 36378531; 050490F-050313_0054 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36378185; 050490F-050313_0018 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999.

AN - 36377879; 050490F-050313_0006 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36374798; 050490F-050313_0046 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999.

AN - 36374365; 050490F-050313_0064 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36373783; 050490F-050313_0035 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999.

AN - 36373103; 050490F-050313_0044 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36370488; 050490F-050313_0029 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999.

AN - 36369220; 050490F-050313_0065 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36366546; 050490F-050313_0013 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999.

AN - 36366084; 050490F-050313_0083 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36365474; 050490F-050313_0039 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999.

AN - 36364749; 050490F-050313_0026 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36363791; 050490F-050313_0076 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999.

AN - 36362036; 050490F-050313_0038 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

Preparation date: July 25, 2005 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 (TWENTY-FIRST FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 (TWENTY-FIRST FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36374783; 050478F-050270_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Browns Ferry Nuclear (BFN) Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 in rural Alabama is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 21st supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, the Tennessee Valley Authority, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the three units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed units 1, 2, and 3 would be shutdown on or before expiration of the current licenses, the dates of which are December 20, 2013, June 28, 2014, and July 2, 2016 and, respectively. The 840-acre power station site is located on federally owned land abutting the Wheeler Reservoir, 30 miles west of Huntsville, Alabama, characterized by agricultural land uses and recreational uses, including fishing and recreational boaters. Each unit employs a boiling water reactor and a steam-driven turbine generator manufactured by General Electric Corporation. Each unit was licensed for an output of 3,293 megawatts-thermal (MW(t)). Commercial operation for units, 1, 2, and 3, began in 1974, 1975, and 1977 respectively. Unit 1 is inactive; work began in 2002 to bring Unit 1 up to current standards, and operation of the reactor is currently scheduled to resume 2007. All three units were shutdown in 1985 during a review of the TVA nuclear power program. Unit 2 returned to service in 1991, and Unit 3 resumed operation in November 1995. The BNF Plant completed an integrated plant improvement project for units 2 and 3; among improvement made were a five percent uprate in the original licensed thermal power for both units from 3,293to 3,458 MW(t). In June 2004, TVA submitted applications for extended power upates to 120 percent of the original licensed thermal power at each of the three BNF Plant units. These applications, if approved by the staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would take effect during the existing license terms, so the impacts of this uprate are considered in this supplemental EIS. All units feature two-loop, closed-cycle, pressurized-water reactors, licensed for a calculated electrical output of approximately 1,065 megawatts-electric (MW(e)). The units employ reactor coolant recalculating loops to the and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel; the cooling system withdraws water from the Wheeler Reservoir and discharges heated water back to the reservoir. The reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Seven 500-kilovolt (kV) connect the 500-kV BNF Plant switchyard to the transmission lines; one line transmits power to the Trinity substation, one line each to the West Point, Maury, and Union (Mississippi) substations, and one line to the Livestone substation. In addition, two 161-kV lines, one connecting the Athens substation and the other to the Trinity substation. All lines use a portion of four transmission line rights-of-way, one to the Maury substation, one to the Trinity substation, one to the Athens substation, and one to the Union substation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Wheeler Reservoir and deliver makeup water back to the Sound. Release of water to the Sound from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the Sound. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclide into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace other land uses for public use. Refusal to renew the license and the subsequent decommissioning of the units could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

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

AN - 67823689; 15891460 AB - In this article an overview of the historical development of light water reactor health physics programs is presented. Operational health physics programs have developed and matured as experience in operating and maintaining light water reactors has been gained. Initial programs grew quickly in both size and complexity with the number and size of nuclear units under construction and in operation. Operational health physics programs evolved to face various challenges confronted by the nuclear industry, increasing the effectiveness of radiological safety measures. Industry improvements in radiological safety performance have resulted in significant decreases in annual collective exposures from a high value of 790 person-rem in 1980 to 117 person-rem per reactor in 2002. Though significant gains have been made, the continued viability of the nuclear power industry is confronted with an aging workforce, as well as the challenges posed by deregulation and the need to maintain operational excellence.

AN - 51585284; 2006-039268 AB - The historical sources of large and moderate earthquakes, earthquake catalogues and monographs exist in many depositories in Syria and European centers. They have been studied, and the detailed review and analysis resulted in a catalogue with 181 historical earthquakes from 1365 B.C. to 1900 A.D. Numerous original documents in Arabic, Latin, Byzantine and Assyrian allowed us to identify seismic events not mentioned in previous works. In particular, detailed descriptions of damage in Arabic sources provided quantitative information necessary to re-evaluate past seismic events. These large earthquakes (I (sub 0) > or =VIII) caused considerable damage in cities, towns and villages located along the northern section of the Dead Sea fault system. Fewer large events also occurred along the Palmyra, Ar-Rassafeh and the Euphrates faults in Eastern Syria. Descriptions in original sources document foreshocks, aftershocks, fault ruptures, liquefaction, landslides, tsunamis, fires and other damages. We present here an updated historical catalogue of 181 historical earthquakes distributed in 4 categories regarding the originality and other considerations, we also present a table of the parametric catalogue of 36 historical earthquakes (table I) and a table of the complete list of all historical earthquakes (181 events) with the affected locality names and parameters of information quality and completeness (table II) using methods already applied in other regions (Italy, England, Iran, Russia) with a completeness test using EMS-92. This test suggests that the catalogue is relatively complete for magnitudes >6.5. This catalogue may contribute to a comprehensive and unified parametric earthquake catalogue and to a realistic assessment of seismic hazards in Syria and surrounding regions.

This field of deterministic safety analysis is being considered by the IAEA in the framework of a coordinated research project (CRP) initiated in 2002 on the Assessment of Analytical Tools for Different Research Reactor Types. The objective of this project is to establish a forum of international experts in order to integrate the activities for improvement and verification of selected computer codes that can be considered as reference tools in the safety analysis of research reactors, similar to that of power reactors. This undertaking supports the international ambition of improving the safety features and standards of research reactors, which can be useful for countries with long experience with research reactors, and very helpful for countries that have research reactors with low neutron flux and which may be looking to extend them or build other reactors with higher neutron flux. In this regard, the methodological approach on modification, verification and application of advanced computer codes for the safety analysis of research reactors is presented. Furthermore, a semi-empirical correlation for the first design limit regarding the onset of flow instability, for medium and high flux reactors, has been suggested.

Typically, two out of three ('2003'), majority-voting systems meet redundancy criteria. A careful analysis of signal levels and polarity and the use of several techniques, such as lives zeros, bias toward safe state, etc. guarantee the same degree of fail-safe behaviour. Diversity criteria, in general, are met by the whole system using more than one method to protect the integrity of reactor (i.e. rod drop plus boron injection), but not for the single instrumentation chain. Moreover, the increasing information needs of supervision systems encourage the use of digital instrumentation in RPS; if the digital instrumentation has software based implementation, the diversity requirement will be mandatory for the instrumentation of each system. In the paper, three possible configurations of the first protection system (rod drop) are analysed. The first one is the traditional hardware approach, the second one is a software based system, and the last one is a proposed mix system. For all configurations, a redundant system two out of four ('2004') is assumed. Availability and reliability points of view are taken into account. The proposed mix system is explained in full detail. A discussion about programmable logic and its considerations are introduced. A CPLD based system in a research reactor (RA1) and its functionality are explained. JF - RESEARCH REACTOR UTILIZATION, SAFETY, DECOMMISSIONING, FUEL AND WASTE MANAGEMENT.

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

COOK NUCLEAR PLAND, UNITS NO. 1 AND 2, BERRIEN COUNTY, MICHIGAN (TWENTIETH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 16347357; 11512 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, located on the shore of Lake Michigan in Berrien County, Michigan is proposed to extend the licensed lives of the units for an additional 20 years in this 20th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Indiana Michigan Power Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating licenses are not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current licenses, which will occur on October 25, 2004 for Unit 1 and December 23, 2017 for Unit 2. The power station, which is located within in a 650-acre site on the shores of Lake Michigan, consists of two units, each of which is equipped with a four-loop pressurized water reactor designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a once-through cooling system withdrawing and discharging water to the Monticello Reservoir, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. Units 1 and 2 are rated at 3,304 megawatts (MW)-thermal and 3,468 MW-thermal, with corresponding electrical outputs of approximately 1,044 MW-electric and 1,117 MW-electric, respectively. Units 1 and 2 reactors were placed into service in August 1975 and July 1978, respectively, are housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Six 345-kilovolt and one 745-kilovolt transmission lines connect the units to the regional transmission grid; the lines extend an overall length of 227 miles. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Lake Michigan and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

FARLEY, UNITS 1 AND 2, HOUSTON COUNTY, ALABAMA. (EIGHTEENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36438564; 11455 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, In Houston County, Alabama is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 18th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration dates of the current licenses, which are June 25, 2017 for Unit 1 and March 31, 2021 for Unit 2. The power station is located within in a 500-acre site in miles on the west bank of the Chattahoochee River in southeastern Alabama, five miles north of Gordon, 17 miles east of Dothan, and 100 miles southeast of Montgomery consists of two units equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a closed-loop cooling system that withdrawals from to the Chattachoche River; a small portion of the process water may be discharged to the river during periods of low flow. Each unit is rated at 2,775 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 910 MW-electric. The reactor which was upgraded in 1997, is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Five transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Chattahoochee River and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Occasional release of water to the river from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

The radiation doses to a population at large due to the presence of radioactivity in the book are not significant. Thus, no radiation hazard occurs from the radioactivity content in the book. The estimated radiation doses to eyes were found to be below the maximum permissible dose to eyes recommended by ICRP.

As with any new technology, there was a need to balance both the beneficial and potential detrimental effects of uses of these new technologies for the advancement of humankind. In the early days, radiation hazards were not well understood. Over the decades increasing concerns in the scientific community and lay population demanded that standardized guidance and recommendations be developed for the use of ionizing radiation. Today, U.S. radiation protection standards and recommendations to protect the occupational worker, members of the general public, and the environment are numerous and complex. This review summarizes the history of the development and application of radiation protection standards and regulations to assure the safe use of radiation and radioactive materials. The evolution and roles of international and national scientific recommending and regulatory organizations that shape U.S. radiation protection policy are described and discussed.

The structural evaluation is performed using a computational second-order refined plastic-hinge method, which is capable of accurately predicting all possible modes of failure in an efficient and computationally less expensive way than the general FEM formulation. A tangent modulus model and a gradual reduction of the inelastic resistance surface are used to take into account directly the structural strength and stability performances in the element formulation. The implemented numerical method provides more reliable safety margins and maintainability, exhibiting a more uniform structural safety level than the linear elastic analysis. A simplified non-linear heat transfer model, developed for symmetrical cross-sections, is used to determine the steel temperature gradient and to establish a link between the thermo and the mechanical analysis. The load resulting from pressure and temperature thermodynamic calculations, obtained for the accident scenario, are considered in the structural quasi-static analysis, so that the structural response can be tracked for the entire duration of the simulated accident.

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

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

[Part 5 of 10] T2 - CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A MIXED OXIDE FUEL FABRICATION FACILITY AT THE SAVANNAH RIVER SITE, SOUTH CAROLINA. AN - 905874849; 11362-3_0005 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a license for the construction and operation of a mixed oxide (MOX) fuel fabrication facility at the Savannah River Site (SRS) in South Carolina is proposed. The facility would convert depleted uranium and weapons-grade plutonium into MOX fuel. Use of the proposed facility to produce MOX fuel would be part of the Department of Energy's (DOE) surplus plutonium disposition program. The MOX facility would convert 37.5 tons of surplus weapons-grade plutonium into MOX fuel. The facility would be situated on a 41-acre site in the F-Area of SRS. Feedstock (surplus plutonium dioxide and depleted uranium dioxide) would be transported to the SRS to make the MOX fuel. The surplus plutonium is currently stored at seven DOE facilities within the United States. Additionally, depleted uranium hexaflouride would be transported from a DOE site(assumed to be the gaseous diffusion uranium facility in Portsmouth, Ohio) to a commercial fabrication facility (assumed to be the General Electric Company facility in Wilmington, North Carolina) where it would be converted to depleted uranium dioxide and transported to SRS. Once manufactured, the MOX fuel would be transported to mission reactors, where it would be irradiated. It is assumed that one or more reactors would later be authorized by to use MOX fuel. Two other proposed facilities and operations are considered in this final EIS: (1) the Pit Disassembly and Conversion Facility (PCDF) and the Waste Solidification Building (WSB), both of which would be located at the SRS. The PDFC would be required to convert 28.2 tons of surplus plutonium from a metal form to plutonium dioxide powder. The WSB would process liquid waste streams from the PDCF and MOX facility. Other waste from the MOX facility, not sent to the WSB, would be transferred to and managed by the SRS. National economic costs for the MOX, PDCF, and WSB facilities and operations are estimated at $3.85 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The MOX program would ensure that plutonium produced for nuclear weapons and declared excess to national security was converted into proliferation-resistant forms. As a result, the nation would be able to meet it's international commitments and prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, while contributing to the energy needs of the country. During operations, the MOX, DCF, and WSB would generate 480 direct and 780 indirect jobs, producing an income of $61 million per year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though the program would result in increased releases of radiation to the local area, these releases would be negligible. However, in the unlikely event of an accidental release of radioactive material, due to serious breakdowns of the MOX system, would result in large releases of radionuclides into the local area. Similarly, routine transportation of nuclear wastes to the MOX and related facilities would result in negligible releases of radionuclides, but accidental releases could have serious consequences.

The surplus plutonium is currently stored at seven DOE facilities within the United States. Additionally, depleted uranium hexaflouride would be transported from a DOE site(assumed to be the gaseous diffusion uranium facility in Portsmouth, Ohio) to a commercial fabrication facility (assumed to be the General Electric Company facility in Wilmington, North Carolina) where it would be converted to depleted uranium dioxide and transported to SRS. Once manufactured, the MOX fuel would be transported to mission reactors, where it would be irradiated. It is assumed that one or more reactors would later be authorized by to use MOX fuel. Two other proposed facilities and operations are considered in this final EIS: (1) the Pit Disassembly and Conversion Facility (PCDF) and the Waste Solidification Building (WSB), both of which would be located at the SRS. The PDFC would be required to convert 28.2 tons of surplus plutonium from a metal form to plutonium dioxide powder. The WSB would process liquid waste streams from the PDCF and MOX facility. Other waste from the MOX facility, not sent to the WSB, would be transferred to and managed by the SRS. National economic costs for the MOX, PDCF, and WSB facilities and operations are estimated at $3.85 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The MOX program would ensure that plutonium produced for nuclear weapons and declared excess to national security was converted into proliferation-resistant forms. As a result, the nation would be able to meet it's international commitments and prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, while contributing to the energy needs of the country. During operations, the MOX, DCF, and WSB would generate 480 direct and 780 indirect jobs, producing an income of $61 million per year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though the program would result in increased releases of radiation to the local area, these releases would be negligible. However, in the unlikely event of an accidental release of radioactive material, due to serious breakdowns of the MOX system, would result in large releases of radionuclides into the local area. Similarly, routine transportation of nuclear wastes to the MOX and related facilities would result in negligible releases of radionuclides, but accidental releases could have serious consequences.

The MOX facility would convert 37.5 tons of surplus weapons-grade plutonium into MOX fuel. The facility would be situated on a 41-acre site in the F-Area of SRS. Feedstock (surplus plutonium dioxide and depleted uranium dioxide) would be transported to the SRS to make the MOX fuel. The surplus plutonium is currently stored at seven DOE facilities within the United States. Additionally, depleted uranium hexaflouride would be transported from a DOE site(assumed to be the gaseous diffusion uranium facility in Portsmouth, Ohio) to a commercial fabrication facility (assumed to be the General Electric Company facility in Wilmington, North Carolina) where it would be converted to depleted uranium dioxide and transported to SRS. Once manufactured, the MOX fuel would be transported to mission reactors, where it would be irradiated. It is assumed that one or more reactors would later be authorized by to use MOX fuel. Two other proposed facilities and operations are considered in this final EIS: (1) the Pit Disassembly and Conversion Facility (PCDF) and the Waste Solidification Building (WSB), both of which would be located at the SRS. The PDFC would be required to convert 28.2 tons of surplus plutonium from a metal form to plutonium dioxide powder. The WSB would process liquid waste streams from the PDCF and MOX facility. Other waste from the MOX facility, not sent to the WSB, would be transferred to and managed by the SRS. National economic costs for the MOX, PDCF, and WSB facilities and operations are estimated at $3.85 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The MOX program would ensure that plutonium produced for nuclear weapons and declared excess to national security was converted into proliferation-resistant forms. As a result, the nation would be able to meet it's international commitments and prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, while contributing to the energy needs of the country. During operations, the MOX, DCF, and WSB would generate 480 direct and 780 indirect jobs, producing an income of $61 million per year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though the program would result in increased releases of radiation to the local area, these releases would be negligible. However, in the unlikely event of an accidental release of radioactive material, due to serious breakdowns of the MOX system, would result in large releases of radionuclides into the local area. Similarly, routine transportation of nuclear wastes to the MOX and related facilities would result in negligible releases of radionuclides, but accidental releases could have serious consequences.

A total of four Example Reference Biospheres were fully developed, with the assumptions, data, and models thoroughly documented. These Examples display both the practicality and the transparency available through the use of the Reference Biosphere Methodology. While the methodology is designed to promote transparency and traceability, proper documentation and justification is still the responsibility of the user. The Examples can also be used as generic analyses in some situations. Although it is anticipated that each of the Reference Biospheres explored within BIOMASS Theme 1 should be a useful practical example, the quantitative results of the model calculations are not intended to be understood as prescribed biosphere "conversion factors". In choosing to implement an Example, careful consideration would need to be given to their relevance (including associated data) to the particular assessment context at hand. In general, the more complex the model is, the more limited applicability it has for generic purposes. For example, ERB1A (direct use of well water for drinking) can be used straightforwardly, with minor or no adjustments, at a number of generic sites. Example 2A, however, for which climatic conditions and agricultural practices need to be specified, would need to be implemented for each specific situation.

N1 - Last updated - 2012-06-07 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Major element geochemistry of Proterozoic Prince's Town granitoid from the southern Ashanti volcanic belt, Ghana AN - 51122039; 2006-077492 AB - The Paleoproterozoic metavolcanic rocks of the southern Ashanti greenstone belt of Ghana are intruded by three major suites of granitoids, locally called Prince's Town, Dixcove and Ketan plutons. The Prince's Town pluton is the largest intrusive body in the Axim area, and tends to separate the Axim volcanic branch from the Cape Three Points branch. The pluton consists of granitic to dioritic rocks, which are generally massive but occasionally display alignment of ferromagnesian minerals. The rocks contain mainly plagioclase, K-feldspar, quartz, amphibole, biotite and opaques. The feldspars are mostly sericitized and saussuritized, and alteration of amphibole and biotite to epidote and chlorite is common. Accessory minerals include apatite, sphene and zircon. The geochemical data indicate that the rocks are tonalitic to granodioritic in composition, metaluminous (ASI<1) and have I-type characteristics. The granitoids have the SiO (sub 2) content of 63-70% total iron, as Fe (sub 2) O (sub 3) of 3.10-5.80%; (Na (sub 2) O+K (sub 2) O) content of 5.01-6.96% and Na (sub 2) O/K (sub 2) O ratios from 1.34 to 2.70; and are characterized by Mganging from 53 to 48. The Fe (super *) (= FeO (sub tot) +MgO and modified alkali-lime index (MALI) of the rocks indicate that the Prince's Town pluton is dominantly magnesian and calcic in nature. Higher values in molar CaO/(MgO+FeO (sub tot) ) coupled with low molar Al (sub 2) O (sub 3) /(MgO+FeO (sub tot) ) may suggest their derivation from partial melting of metabasaltic to metatonalitic source, with a possible contribution from metagreywacke, but preclude any contribution from metagreywacke, but preclude any contribution from metapelitic sources. The Birimian metavolcanic rocks are the likely source material candidate for the rocks. CIPW norm calculations yielded a crystallization temperature of approximately 650-685 degrees C and a pressure of 4-7 kb for the rocks, suggesting a lower crustal source. The Prince's Town plutonic rocks also show characteristics of plutons emplaced in a volcanic arc tectonic setting environment. This observation is largely consistent with previous studies conducted on granitoids from other parts of the southern Ashanti greenstone belt c and the belt-type granitoids of Ghana as a whole.

AN - 36430965; 11434 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance to Exelon Generation Company, LLC, of an early site permit (ESP) for a location 461-acre tract identified for the siting of one nuclear power unit at the Exelon ESP site, adjacent to the Clinton Power Station (CPS), Unit 1, In DeWitt County, Illinois is proposed. The site is located approximately six miles east of the city of Clinton on a peninsula jutting into Clinton Lake between the Salt Creek North Fork arm and the Salt Creek arm. The ESP would not necessary permit construction and operation of a nuclear facility at the site, though an ESP may refer to a reactor's characteristics or plant parameter envelope (PPE), which is a set of postulated design parameters that bound the characteristics of a reactor or reactors that could be built at a selected site. Alternatively, an ESP application may refer to a detailed reactor design. An ESP is issued to initiate a process to assess whether a proposed site is suitable should the applicant decide to pursue a construction permit or combined construction permit and operation license. Three primary issues must be addressed in an ESP application, namely, site safety, environmental impacts and emergency planning. In the proposal at hand, the ESP applicant requested authorization to perform certain site preparation activities after the ESP is issued. No specific plant design has been chosen by Exelon for the new nuclear unit; rather, a set of bounding parameters, the aforementioned PPE, for the addition of one to eight reactor modules grouped into one facility or unit. The site is evaluated for the construction and operation of various numbers of new reactors and/or modules configured as one operating unit to provide a thermal energy capacity of 6,800 megawatts. The new unit would use either a wet cooling system (natural draft or mechanical draft cooling towers) or a hybrid of wet/dry cooling system. The entire site has been either graded or otherwise developed for the operation of the existing nuclear power plant. Recreation is the only special land use within the vicinity of the site. The anticipated transmission line rights-of-way for the ESP facility would be the existing rights-of-way used to transmit power generated by the CPS. These rights-of-way extend 23 miles to the north and 20 miles to the south of the site. In addition to the proposed Exelon site, six alternative sites located in Illinois are also considered in this daft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Issuance of the ESP would allow Exelon to more specifically determine the feasibility of constructing and operating additional nuclear facilities at the CPS. Power generated by such facilities would contribute to Exelon's ability to maintain system flexibility and reliability and increase its user market. Construction and operation activities would increase employment rolls and otherwise contribute to the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of the ESP site could affect a significant extent of prime farmland, which constitutes 84 percent of the site. Wildlife habitat would be affected, but less so. Withdrawal and return of water into Lake Clinton would be required. Returned water would be significantly warmer that water withdrawn, resulting in a thermal plume extending outward into the lake and laterally according to the direction of the littoral current, affecting near-shore fish and amphibian habitat. Transmission rights-of-way would continue to displace 700 acres for the northern corridor and 610 acres for the southern corridor. In the event that nuclear facilities were developed on the ESP, the radiological hazards associated with the plant would be increased somewhat.

(TWENTY-FOURTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, LAKE ONTARIO, NEW YORK. (TWENTY-FOURTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36383312; 050014D-050414_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, units 1 and 2, Lake Ontario, New York is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 24h supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Nine Mile Point Units 1 and 2 are operated 15 exclusively by the applicant, a subsidiary of Constellation Generation Group, LLC, which in turn is a 16 member of Constellation Energy Group. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which are which are August 22, 10 2009 for Unit 1, and October 31, 2026 for Unit 2. The Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station (Nine Mile Point) is located on the southeastern shore of Lake Ontario in the Town of Scriba, New York. The station consists of two units. Both units are boiling water reactors (BWRs), which produce steam that turns turbines to generate electricity. The plant obtains cooling water from Lake Ontario. Unit 1 employs once-through cooling. Unit 1 has a power rating of 1850 15 megawatts thermal [MW(t)] and 615 megawatts electric [MW(e)]. Unit 2 has closed-cycle cooling and utilizes a natural-draft cooling tower. Unit 2 has a power rating of 3467 MW(t) and 1144 MW(e). The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. The electricity generated by Nine Mile Point is connected to the grid by three single-circuit 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines (see Figure 2-5). Two of these lines connect to Unit 1 's 345-kV Switchyard (Clay Line 8 and Scriba Line 9) and one is connected to Unit 2's 345-kV Switchyard (Scriba Line 23). At the other end, Lines 9 and 23 connect to the grid at the Scriba Substation, located approximately 600 m (2000 ft) southeast of the Unit 1 and 2 Switchyards. Line 8 extends approximately 42 km (26 mi) southeast and connects to the grid at the Clay Substation. The transmission line corridor for Line 8 is approximately 150 m (500 ft) wide and is owned by Niagara Mohawk Co. In addition to the two 345-kV switchyards for outgoing electricity, each unit at Nine Mile Point has a 115-kV switchyard that brings in electricity from offsite sources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Lake Ontario and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - EARLY SITE PERMIT AT THE EXELON ESP SITE, CLINTON POWER STATION, DEWITT COUNTY, ILLINOIS. AN - 36371778; 050313D-050096_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance to Exelon Generation Company, LLC, of an early site permit (ESP) for a location 461-acre tract identified for the siting of one nuclear power unit at the Exelon ESP site, adjacent to the Clinton Power Station (CPS), Unit 1, In DeWitt County, Illinois is proposed. The site is located approximately six miles east of the city of Clinton on a peninsula jutting into Clinton Lake between the Salt Creek North Fork arm and the Salt Creek arm. The ESP would not necessary permit construction and operation of a nuclear facility at the site, though an ESP may refer to a reactor's characteristics or plant parameter envelope (PPE), which is a set of postulated design parameters that bound the characteristics of a reactor or reactors that could be built at a selected site. Alternatively, an ESP application may refer to a detailed reactor design. An ESP is issued to initiate a process to assess whether a proposed site is suitable should the applicant decide to pursue a construction permit or combined construction permit and operation license. Three primary issues must be addressed in an ESP application, namely, site safety, environmental impacts and emergency planning. In the proposal at hand, the ESP applicant requested authorization to perform certain site preparation activities after the ESP is issued. No specific plant design has been chosen by Exelon for the new nuclear unit; rather, a set of bounding parameters, the aforementioned PPE, for the addition of one to eight reactor modules grouped into one facility or unit. The site is evaluated for the construction and operation of various numbers of new reactors and/or modules configured as one operating unit to provide a thermal energy capacity of 6,800 megawatts. The new unit would use either a wet cooling system (natural draft or mechanical draft cooling towers) or a hybrid of wet/dry cooling system. The entire site has been either graded or otherwise developed for the operation of the existing nuclear power plant. Recreation is the only special land use within the vicinity of the site. The anticipated transmission line rights-of-way for the ESP facility would be the existing rights-of-way used to transmit power generated by the CPS. These rights-of-way extend 23 miles to the north and 20 miles to the south of the site. In addition to the proposed Exelon site, six alternative sites located in Illinois are also considered in this daft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Issuance of the ESP would allow Exelon to more specifically determine the feasibility of constructing and operating additional nuclear facilities at the CPS. Power generated by such facilities would contribute to Exelon's ability to maintain system flexibility and reliability and increase its user market. Construction and operation activities would increase employment rolls and otherwise contribute to the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of the ESP site could affect a significant extent of prime farmland, which constitutes 84 percent of the site. Wildlife habitat would be affected, but less so. Withdrawal and return of water into Lake Clinton would be required. Returned water would be significantly warmer that water withdrawn, resulting in a thermal plume extending outward into the lake and laterally according to the direction of the littoral current, affecting near-shore fish and amphibian habitat. Transmission rights-of-way would continue to displace 700 acres for the northern corridor and 610 acres for the southern corridor. In the event that nuclear facilities were developed on the ESP, the radiological hazards associated with the plant would be increased somewhat.

Prior to the study, key stakeholder groups had little clarity on the actual goal of the future system. Strong emphasis was placed on providing technicians with step-by-step guidance during repairs to new models of vehicles. AR was also assumed to be useful as a visualization aid for inaccessible vehicle parts. An ergonomic study was proposed to help clarify the high-level end users' requirements. The study, on 11 mechanics, was done using the critical incident technique. The incidents were collected through interviews. The results showed that the major difficulty in ASTs' activity was diagnosing electronic components on new models of vehicles. Other critical factors appeared in technicians' verbal reports, e.g. physical and organisational difficulties. The visualization of inaccessible vehicle parts, which was stakeholders' primary concern, only seemed problematic in one case. On the basis of these results, we discuss the applicability of AR to ASTs' work as well as a few perspectives of the study.Relevance to industry There exist a number of job aids for ASTs, each of which has its advantages and disadvantages. This paper focuses on the advantages of AR to assist ASTs' activity. We also report an empirical study on ASTs' major difficulties with new models of vehicles.

Chemical analysis shows that most submarine springs are derived from a Cenomanian-Turonian aquifer with a large influence of the bedrock type including calcite and dolomite. Different physical and chemical characteristics are obtained for some submarine samples located on the southern coast that show high sulfate content. Isotopic data for d super(18)O/ d super(2)H shows that coastal freshwaters are closer to the Mediterranean Meteoric Water Line than the submarine springs. Submarine samples located in the south were located below the Global Meteoric Water Line, indicating differences from the coastal freshwater sources. The calculated percentage of freshwater in the submarine samples ranges from 10 to 96%, with the highest percentage for a spring in the Chekka region. Tritium values of submarine samples (ranging from 0.75 to 3.77 TU) are found to be comparable to the coastal freshwater samples (0.69 to 4.83 TU). Spring waters are divided into two distinct sources: young meteoric water supplies coastal freshwater and the submarine sample in the Chekka region, and older water supplies the submarine springs.

Air samples were analyzed for ionic and elemental components using ion chromatography and proton induced X-ray emission methods. PMF revealed six similar sources/types of coarse PM sub(10) at the two sites, namely soil dust containing nitrate and sulfate, coal fly ash from distant and local sources, soil dust containing organic matter and ammonium sulfate and marine aerosol. Traffic (road) dust was found only at the urban site. From the PMF factor models, the yields of [image], [image] and [image] can be estimated and their possible chemical forms in different particulate types can be suggested. The yields of nitrate and sulfate formation on mineral dust particles increase with the [Ca]/[Si] ratio, which is greater in soil dust than in coal fly ash. Nitrate is bound to Ca-richest soil dust particles. Ammonium was found in dust particles containing soil organic matter, which also hold the largest amount of sulfate. The comparison of urban and rural receptor models provided synergy for the source identification and insights into the properties of mineral dust particles relevant to their interactions with acidic gases in ambient air.

Estimation, through an atmospheric simulation chamber, of the role that ozone plays on air masses containing chlorinated compounds above forests is necessary. In this sense, we are interested in the disappearance of alpha - and beta -pinene, the decomposition of ozone, and the formation of aerosols and carbonyl compounds during the experiments. They have demonstrated that the presence of CH sub(2)Cl sub(2) and CHCl = CCl sub(2) does not significantly influence the rate of degradation of alpha -pinene which, in turn, is governed by the reactivity of ozone. In addition, an increase of the number of aerosols has been registered, however, only when they are in presence of chlorinated compounds under not humidified atmosphere. On the other side, the beta -pinene decay is strongly affected by CHCl = CCl sub(2) and moisture. As one conclusion of the above-described experiments, we found that CHCl = CCl sub(2) and moisture are two factors promoting the production of carbonyl volatile organic compounds.

(TWENTY-FOURTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 16354823; 11765 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, units 1 and 2, Lake Ontario, New York is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 24h supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Nine Mile Point Units 1 and 2 are operated 15 exclusively by the applicant, a subsidiary of Constellation Generation Group, LLC, which in turn is a 16 member of Constellation Energy Group. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which are which are August 22, 10 2009 for Unit 1, and October 31, 2026 for Unit 2. The Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station (Nine Mile Point) is located on the southeastern shore of Lake Ontario in the Town of Scriba, New York. The station consists of two units. Both units are boiling water reactors (BWRs), which produce steam that turns turbines to generate electricity. The plant obtains cooling water from Lake Ontario. Unit 1 employs once-through cooling. Unit 1 has a power rating of 1850 15 megawatts thermal [MW(t)] and 615 megawatts electric [MW(e)]. Unit 2 has closed-cycle cooling and utilizes a natural-draft cooling tower. Unit 2 has a power rating of 3467 MW(t) and 1144 MW(e). The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. The electricity generated by Nine Mile Point is connected to the grid by three single-circuit 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines (see Figure 2-5). Two of these lines connect to Unit 1 's 345-kV Switchyard (Clay Line 8 and Scriba Line 9) and one is connected to Unit 2's 345-kV Switchyard (Scriba Line 23). At the other end, Lines 9 and 23 connect to the grid at the Scriba Substation, located approximately 600 m (2000 ft) southeast of the Unit 1 and 2 Switchyards. Line 8 extends approximately 42 km (26 mi) southeast and connects to the grid at the Clay Substation. The transmission line corridor for Line 8 is approximately 150 m (500 ft) wide and is owned by Niagara Mohawk Co. In addition to the two 345-kV switchyards for outgoing electricity, each unit at Nine Mile Point has a 115-kV switchyard that brings in electricity from offsite sources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Lake Ontario and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

Karachi, the major port city of the country, is the most densely populated with a population crossing the 11 million mark. The city receives 435 MGD of drinking water from the River Indus and other sources. However, the net demand for the year 2000 was 594 MGD thus there is a gap of 159 MGD in demand and supply. Statistics show that the water demand in Karachi is increasing at the rate of 100 MGD every five years. The coastal belt of the country extends to 1046 sq. km. Of this, 930 km is from the Karachi to Gwader region in the province of Baluchistan. Most of the coastal areas lie outside the monsoon system of weather and therefore the climate is extremely dry. The annual rainfall in this belt is about 15 cms. Therefore, fresh water availability is a major factor for development of the coastal belt of Pakistan. In the wake of the looming water crisis it is becoming increasingly clear that all available and appropriate technologies, including nuclear and related technologies, have to be used for the sustainable development and management of freshwater resources in Pakistan. One particular approach is the desalination of seawater, and countries are increasing their capacity to harness the seas for tapping fresh water. The prospects of using nuclear energy for seawater desalination on a large scale are attractive since desalination is an energy intensive process. Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) is planning to actively participate in the activities of IAEA in the field of nuclear desalination by offering one of its nuclear power plants for coupling a demonstration nuclear desalination plant. Karachi Nuclear Power Plant (KANUPP), which is the country's first nuclear plant has been successfully operating for the last 30 years. This plant is proposed to be used as a potential site for installation of a demonstration nuclear desalination plant. KANUPP is already operating a Sea Water Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) plant to meet its operating requirements, contributing to its ultimate heat sink. The experience gained in the installation and commissioning of the RO plant will be very useful for the proposed nuclear desalination plant. The objective of this paper is to present the work done by PAEC in preparing the engineering feasibility for coupling a 1MGD demonstration nuclear desalination plant with KANUPP. The paper discusses in detail the criteria for selection of the most appropriate thermal desalting process, capacity of the plant and the coupling arrangement with the existing power plant without disturbing the normal operation of KANUPP.

AN - 36436199; 11308 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a early site permit (EPA) for the North Anna Power Station (NAPS), on Lake Anna, Virginia is proposed in this preliminary EIS. Approval of the permits would also allow the applicant, Nuclear North Anna, LLC (Dominion), to develop a site within the existing North Anna Power Station as suitable for the construction and operation of new nuclear power generating facilities and issue an EPS for the proposed site at NAPS. The proposed action does not constitute any decision or approval to construct or operate one or more nuts; these matters would be concerned only upon the filing of applications for a construction permit and operating license. No alternative land use has been identified. This EIS include Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff analysis considering and weighing the environmental impacts of construction and operation of two new nuclear units at he North Anna ESP, or at alternative sites. It also includes the staff's preliminary recommendation, which is to issue the ESP. The preliminary report recommendation is based on the Environmental Report, submitted by Dominion, as revised; consultation with federal state, and tribal, and local agencies; the staff's independent review; and the assessments summarized in this draft EIS, including the potential mitigation measures identified. The staff has also concluded that there are no environmentally preferable or obviously superior site. Three primary issues, namely site safety, environmental impacts, and emergency planning, must be addressed in the ESP application. Issues addressed also include land use, meteorology and air quality, site geology, hydrology, water use, water quality, terrestrial and aquatic ecology, socioeconomics, historical and cultural resources, environmental justice, site layout and plant parameter envelope, plant water use, cooling system, radioactive and nonradioactive waste management, radiological and nonradiological health impacts, fuel cycle, transportation, of nuclear fuels and radioactive wastes, and decommissioning, and use of light-water reactors vs. gas-cooled creators. Alternative sites considered include the Savannah Riversite and the Portsmouth ESP site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The newly sites nuclear reactors would provide electric power, to be transmitted to the power regional grid services by Dominion and used by residential, commercial, and industrial users. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The staff has preliminarily concluded that the site preparation and preliminary construction activities allowed by regulatory law would not result in any significant adverse environmental impact that cannot be redressed. The sites access corridors could be affected by clearing, grading Long-term disturbance of 128 acres, with an additional 67.9 acres to be disturbed on a short-term basis. Cooling system water would be withdrawn from and returned to Lake Anna, resulting in lake drawdown and a thermal plume, both of which would affect the aquatic ecosystem and the recreational value of the lake, respectively, as well as lakeside visual and olfactory aesthetics, Plant structures, particularly cooling towers.

AN - 36436135; 11302 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Browns Ferry Nuclear (BFN) Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 in rural Alabama is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 21st supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, the Tennessee Valley Authority, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the three units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed units 1, 2, and 3 would be shutdown on or before expiration of the current licenses, the dates of which are December 20, 2013, June 28, 2014, and July 2, 2016 and, respectively. The 840-acre power station site is located on federally owned land abutting the Wheeler Reservoir, 30 miles west of Huntsville, Alabama, characterized by agricultural land uses and recreational uses, including fishing and recreational boaters. Each unit employs a boiling water reactor and a steam-driven turbine generator manufactured by General Electric Corporation. Each unit was licensed for an output of 293M Megawatts-thermal (MW(t)). Commercial operation for units, 1, 2, and 3, began in 1974, 1975, and 1977 respectively. Unit 1 is inactive; work began in 2002 to bring Unit 1 up to current standards, and operation of the reactor is currently scheduled to resume 2007. All three units were shutdown in 1985 during a review of the TVA nuclear power program. Unit 2 returned to service in 1991, and Unit 3 resumed operation in November 1995. The BNF Plant completed an integrated plant improvement project for units 2 and 3; among improvements made were a five percent uprate in the original licensed thermal power for both units from 3,293to 3,458 MW(t). In June 2004, TVA submitted applications for extended power uprates to 120 percent of the original licensed thermal power at each of the three BNF Plant units. These applications, if approved by the staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would take effect during the existing license terms, so the impacts of this uprate are considered in this supplemental EIS. All units feature two-loop, closed-cycle, pressurized-water reactors, licensed for a calculated electrical output of approximately 1,065 megawatts-electric (MW(e)). The units employ reactor coolant recirculation loops to the and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel; the cooling system withdraws water from the Wheeler Reservoir and discharges heated water back to the reservoir. The reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Seven 500-kilovolt (kV) connect the 500-kV BNF Plant switchyard to the transmission lines; one line transmits power to the Trinity substation, one line each to the West Point, Maury, and Union (Mississippi) substations, and one line to the Livestone substation. In addition, two 161-kV lines, one connecting to the Athens substation and the other to the Trinity substation. All lines use a portion of four transmission line rights-of-way, one to the Maruy substation, one to the Trinity substation, one to the Athens substation, and one to the Union substation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Wheeler Reservoir and deliver makeup water back to the Sound. Release of water to the Sound from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the Sound. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace other land uses for public use. Refusal to renew the license and the subsequent decommissioning of the units could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Seven 500-kilovolt (kV) connect the 500-kV BNF Plant switchyard to the transmission lines; one line transmits power to the Trinity substation, one line each to the West Point, Maury, and Union (Mississippi) substations, and one line to the Livestone substation. In addition, two 161-kV lines, one connecting to the Athens substation and the other to the Trinity substation. All lines use a portion of four transmission line rights-of-way, one to the Maruy substation, one to the Trinity substation, one to the Athens substation, and one to the Union substation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Wheeler Reservoir and deliver makeup water back to the Sound. Release of water to the Sound from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the Sound. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace other land uses for public use. Refusal to renew the license and the subsequent decommissioning of the units could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

(TWENTY-SECOND DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36437928; 11300 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Millstone Power Station Waterford, New York is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 22nd supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc., nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the two units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, units 2 and 3 would be shut down on or before expiration of the current licenses, the dates of which are July 2015 and November 2025, respectively. The 525-acre power station site is located between the Niantic and Thames on the north shore of the Long Island Sound, approximately 40 miles east of New Haven and 40 miles southeast of Hartford. Unit 1, a boiling water reaction, was permanently shutdown in 1995. The facility is in long-term storage awaiting decontamination and dismantlement as part of station decommissioning. Millstine Unit 2 is a two-loop, closed-cycle, pressurized-water reactor, with a calculated electrical output of approximately 870 megawatts electric (MW(e)), while Millstone Unit 3 is a four-loop, closed-cycle, pressurized water reactor, with a calculated electrical output of 1,154 MW(e). The units employ once-through cooling systems that withdraws from and discharges into the Long Island Sound, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. The reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Five transmission lines, extending nine, four, 32, 61, and 71 miles, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from Long Island Sound and deliver makeup water back to the Sound. Release of water to the Sound from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the Sound. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace approximately 4,133 acres of land for public use. Refusal to renew the license and the subsequent decommissioning of the units could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the two units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, units 2 and 3 would be shut down on or before expiration of the current licenses, the dates of which are July 2015 and November 2025, respectively. The 525-acre power station site is located between the Niantic and Thames on the north shore of the Long Island Sound, approximately 40 miles east of New Haven and 40 miles southeast of Hartford. Unit 1, a boiling water reaction, was permanently shutdown in 1995. The facility is in long-term storage awaiting decontamination and dismantlement as part of station decommissioning. Millstine Unit 2 is a two-loop, closed-cycle, pressurized-water reactor, with a calculated electrical output of approximately 870 megawatts electric (MW(e)), while Millstone Unit 3 is a four-loop, closed-cycle, pressurized water reactor, with a calculated electrical output of 1,154 MW(e). The units employ once-through cooling systems that withdraws from and discharges into the Long Island Sound, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. The reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Five transmission lines, extending nine, four, 32, 61, and 71 miles, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from Long Island Sound and deliver makeup water back to the Sound. Release of water to the Sound from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the Sound. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace approximately 4,133 acres of land for public use. Refusal to renew the license and the subsequent decommissioning of the units could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

AN - 36436904; 11241 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continued leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analysed in this draft EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. No preferred alternative has been selected. Annual costs of onsite disposal are estimated at $20.7 million, while annual offsite disposal estimates range from $41.3 million to $52.5 million for truck transport, $49 million for rail transport, and $49.4 million to $58.2 million for slurry transport. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. Borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-weet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analysed in this draft EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. No preferred alternative has been selected. Annual costs of onsite disposal are estimated at $20.7 million, while annual offsite disposal estimates range from $41.3 million to $52.5 million for truck transport, $49 million for rail transport, and $49.4 million to $58.2 million for slurry transport. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. Borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-weet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 67073619; 15551785 AB - In this article an overview of the historical development of light water reactor health physics programs is presented. Operational health physics programs have developed and matured as experience in operating and maintaining light water reactors has been gained. Initial programs grew quickly in both size and complexity with the number and size of nuclear units under construction and in operation. Operational health physics programs evolved to face various challenges confronted by the nuclear industry, increasing the effectiveness of radiological safety measures. Industry improvements in radiological safety performance have resulted in significant decreases in annual collective exposures from a high value of 790 person-rem in 1980 to 117 person-rem per reactor in 2002. Though significant gains have been made, the continued viability of the nuclear power industry is confronted with an aging workforce, as well as the challenges posed by deregulation and the need to maintain operational excellence.

AN - 66789576; 15308188 AB - A novel system to determine thermal neutron flux in real time during NCT treatments was developed in the National Atomic Energy Commission of Argentina. The system is based on a special self-powered detector that can be implanted in patients owing to its small size and biocompatibility. High voltage is not required to operate this kind of detectors, which is a considerable advantage in terms of medical uses. By choosing the appropriate materials, it was possible to obtain a prototype with thermal neutron sensitivity providing for an adequate signal level in typical NCT thermal fluxes. It was also possible to minimize gamma response in order to neglect its contribution.

S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) risk-insights baseline study AN - 51669399; 2005-065878 AB - The NRC staff has developed insights into the significance of geologic, hydrologic and geochemical features (e.g., hydrologic properties of unsaturated zone; quantity and chemistry of seepage water; transport distance in saturated alluvium; ash production by an eruption), events (e.g., infiltration; climatic change; faulting; igneous activity; transient percolation; seismic loading) and processes (e.g., matrix diffusion; colloidal transport) that could either affect a large number of radioactive-waste disposal packages, or significantly affect radionuclide releases from waste packages, or could significantly affect the transport of radionuclides through the geosphere and biosphere at Yucca Mountain, Nevada (YM). The significance to waste isolation of natural system FEPs is based upon review of and experience with total system performance assessments, subsystem analyses, auxiliary calculations. These analyses estimate the capability of the site to isolate waste. Integrity of waste packages, slow releases of radionuclides from degraded waste packages, and long travel times due to expected pathway characteristics contribute to waste isolation. The geologic, hydrologic and geochemical FEPs that result in a significant impact on waste isolation capability and associated with the dose-based performance criteria (regulations in Title 10 of U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Part 63, "Disposal of High-Level Radioactive Wastes in a Proposed Geologic Repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada"), help focus the NRC staff's review of the U.S. Department of Energy's potential license application to construct a high-level radioactive waste repository at YM. The NRC staff views expressed herein are preliminary and do not constitute a final judgment or determination of the matters addressed or of the acceptability of a license application for a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain.

Part 63 under Title 10 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (i.e., 10 CFR 63, "Disposal of High-Level Radioactive Wastes in a Proposed Geologic Repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada") prescribes rules governing the licensing (including issuance of a construction authorization) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposed repository. The licensing regulations are risk-informed and performance-based. The staff has developed the Yucca Mountain Review Plan to guide the review of any DOE license application for a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain. The NRC will determine whether to issue a construction authorization and license for the proposed repository based, in part, on whether the DOE has demonstrated compliance with the performance objectives. The NRC has a congressional mandate that the agency reach a determination within three years on the DOE's application for construction authorization for a high-level radioactive waste repository. Subpart J of 10 CFR 2 ("Procedures Applicable to Proceedings for the Issuance of Licenses for the Receipt of High-Level Radioactive Waste at a Geologic Repository") contain the rules of practice for the licensing proceeding. NRC staff has developed an information architecture to aid in conducting the licensing proceeding. To shorten the time spent on the exchange of documents that may be used as evidence in the NRC licensing proceeding, the interested governmental participants as well as parties and potential parties to the hearing on the DOE application will make their documents available via the Internet, through the Licensing Support Network (LSN), before any DOE license application is submitted to the NRC. Other parts of the NRC's information architecture include provisions for electronic information exchange, an electronic hearing docket, and an electronic courtroom. These systems and the risk-informed review process will be further described in the presentation. The NRC staff views expressed herein are preliminary and do not constitute a final judgment or determination of the matters addressed or of the acceptability of a license application for a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain.

We present an approach for identifying site-specific groundwater pathways which involves construction of alternative conceptual 3D geohydrologic framework and property models using a former nuclear materials processing facility in Oklahoma as an example. The models formed a basis for monitoring system design at the site. The geohydrologic framework model contains three hydrostratigrahic zones, corresponding to aquifer systems in which groundwater has been sampled since 1991. The terrace groundwater system (TGWS) aquifer (uppermost zone) is made up of terrace and alluvial deposits and a basal shale. A sandstone aquitard separates TGWS from the underlying shallow groundwater system (SGWS) aquifer (middle zone), composed of three shale units and two discontinuous sandstones. SGWS is separated from the underlying deep groundwater system (DGWS) aquifer (lowest zone) by another sandstone aquitard. Terrace and alluvial deposits form a perched aquifer and fractured shales are continuous water-bearing units. TGWS and SGWS aquifers were contaminated during facility operation by spills and leaks of nitric acid processing solutions containing uranium ore constituents. Radioactive materials were also leached from discarded equipment and waste containers. Based on analysis of 3D models, site-specific groundwater pathways were identified. Lateral transport of uranium was indicated in TGWS along a buried erosional channel in bedrock trending south-southwest from the main processing building (MPB). Arsenic and nitrate greater than EPA MCLs also occur along this channel in TGWS and SGWS. Another pathway atop bedrock, trending west-northwest from the MPB, showed lateral migration of nitrate and arsenic in SGWS. Lateral movement of nitrate and arsenic in SGWS was indicated north and west from the largest holding pond at the site. As a result of delineation of these pathways, they were more carefully characterized by trenching and resistivity and new monitoring wells installed. The site conceptual model developed by hydrologic modelers was also modified.

We examine volcanism near Yucca Mountain (YM), a potential repository for disposal of high-level radioactive waste. Recent studies suggest that basaltic dikes could penetrate the repository with a frequency as high as 1E-6/yr. Our analysis raises doubts about such claims. More realistic models are developed based on non-detection of dikes in the potential repository footprint and analyses of known Pleistocene volcanism. First, using a statistical analysis, penetration frequencies > 2E-7/yr are not consistent with the non-detection of dikes in the footprint. Second, using NRC's Probabilistic Volcanic Hazard Assessment (PVHA) code [Connor et al., JGR, 2000], we analyzed 10 datasets, 8 of which include 5-15 magnetic anomalies that are assumed to be buried basalts. Claims of high penetration frequency fail recurrence tests at time scales of 1 Myr and 100 kyr. For a repository intrusion frequency of 1E-6/yr in the last 1 Myr, an expected 40-96 volcanos would have erupted in the region (80-192 without gravity weighting); only 8 Pleistocene events are known (recurrence rate 4.4/Myr). We also test whether the 80 kyr Lathrop Wells Volcano began a new volcanism pulse. For a penetration frequency of 1E-6/yr, the PVHA code indicates 4-10 (8-19 without gravity weighting) volcanic events would be expected in the last 100 kyr; only 1 is known. There is uncertainty about the numbers of Pliocene and Miocene events near YM because of the longer time available for physical erosion and burial by alluvium and younger volcanics. Using the more reliable Pleistocene data (8 events in 1.8 Myr) and the PVHA code with zero gravity weighting, the frequency of dike intersection is 5.4E-8/yr with a 95% upper confidence bound of 9.7E-8/yr. If additional Pliocene basalts exist undetected in the alluvial basins, that would be further evidence of the decline in post-Pliocene activity. [The views expressed herein are the authors'.

Irgacure 369 [2-Benzyl-2-dimethyl-amine-1 (4-morpholinophenyl) butanone-1] was used in the formulations as photoinitiator. Ultraviolet (UV) cured thin polymer films were prepared from these formulating solutions on clean glass plates. Pendulum hardness (PH), gel content and macro scratch hardness (MSH) of the UV cured films were studied. One percent Mg sub(2)Si sub(3)O sub(8) containing formulation showed the premium properties. The substrates (plain board) were coated by these formulating solutions and cured under the same UV lamp at different intensities of radiation. Various properties of the coated surface such as PH, gloss, adhesion, abrasion and MSH were investigated. The base coat containing 1% Mg sub(2)Si sub(3)O sub(8) and top coat containing 48% HDDA produced the best performance among all the formulations inspected. The degradable properties in different weathering conditions on PH, gloss, adhesion, abrasion and MSH were measured. The surface cured with the optimized formulation (E) again yielded the minimum loss of the properties.

C-2 is to be built by the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) for the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC). The first unit (C-1), also a 325 MW(e) PWR, was commissioned in 2000. The practical experience of full compliance with the regulations does not exist in China, Pakistan or elsewhere. Establishing a licensing basis for a nuclear power plant which takes the already existing plant at the same site as the reference plant, but which has to obtain a licence under the new IAEA NS-R-1 based regulation, offers both challenges and opportunities. The paper describes the approach adopted by the utility, duly supported by the vendor and the designer, to handle the licensing issues of the C-2 plant.

PRA quality is a key contributor to the success of this regulatory strategy. A phased approach to achievement of state of the art PRA quality is described, which the NRC believes will support the continued use of risk informed decision making while encouraging progress in improving the scope, level of detail and technical adequacy of PRA models. The phased approach also includes development of consensus standards and associated guidance to promote a common understanding, between the NRC and its licensees, of the definition of PRA quality, and to establish the NRC's expectations concerning licensee PRAs. Anticipated outcomes of the phased approach include consistent processes for PRA development, efficiency in regulatory decision making, and improved licensee and NRC understanding of the most important contributors to plant safety.

The IAEA Programme and the paper address periodic safety reviews (PSR) and different approaches to ensuring adequate safety margins, regulatory approaches for LTO, balancing power uprates versus maintaining safety margins, and the need to address the monitoring, mitigation, replacement and ageing management programmes of active and passive systems, structures and components. The SALTO EBP addresses concepts such as life cycle management, obsolescence management, preconditions for LTO, ageing management, life extension and licence renewal under the rubric of 'long term operation'. Mandated to look for cross-cutting LTO similarities, the SALTO EBP is divided into four Working Groups with a focus on indexing, integrating and implementing the great wealth of existing international databases to ultimately create a 'living' guidance document, regularly updated with new lessons learned from all Member States to ensure that major safety issues are addressed. One such database, now being revised and expanded to a relational database format, is the Generic Ageing Lessons Learned (GALL) Report that catalogues plant structures and components; lists the materials, environments, ageing effects and mechanisms; and documents Nuclear Regulatory Commission evaluation of existing plant programmes that can mitigate or manage these ageing effects. With continuing long term support, this Programme can create an International GALL (IGALL) database that Member States can use to evaluate the safety of nuclear plant LTO. Due to the variability of Member States laws and regulations, IGALL may be supplemented by national or regional documents that address specific regulatory environments.

The program provides fast, direct and accurate information about the global, diffuse and direct solar-radiations on any site in the country. In addition, the applicability, precision and the accuracy of this method has been statistically tested. The relative percentage error between the calculated values and the meteorological data was found to be in the range of +/-3% in the worst case (i.e. for winter time).

COOK NUCLEAR PLAND, UNITS NO. 1 AND 2, BERRIEN COUNTY, MICHIGAN (TWENTIETH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36439877; 11177 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, located on the shore of Lake Michigan in Berrien County, Michigan is proposed to extend the licensed lives of the units for an additional 20 years in this 20th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Indiana Michigan Power Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating licenses are not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current licenses, which will occur on October 25, 2004 for Unit 1 and December 23, 2017 for Unit 2. The power station, which is located within in a 650-acre site on the shores of Lake Michigan, consists of two units, each of which is equipped with a four-loop pressurized water reactor designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a once-through cooling system withdrawing and discharging water to the Monticello Reservoir, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and A steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. Units 1 and 2 are rated at 3,304 megawatts (MW)-thermal and 3,468 MW-thermal, with corresponding electrical outputs of approximately 1,044 MW-electric and 1,117 MW-electric, respectively. Units 1 and 2 reactors were placed into service in August 1975 and July 1978, respectively, are housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Non-radioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Six 345-kilovolt and one 745-kilovolt transmission lines connect the units to the regional transmission grid; the lines extend an overall length of 227 miles. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Lake Michigan and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

COOK NUCLEAR PLAND, UNITS NO. 1 AND 2, BERRIEN COUNTY, MICHIGAN (TWENTIETH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLAND, UNITS NO. 1 AND 2, BERRIEN COUNTY, MICHIGAN (TWENTIETH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36366794; 11177-040452_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, located on the shore of Lake Michigan in Berrien County, Michigan is proposed to extend the licensed lives of the units for an additional 20 years in this 20th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Indiana Michigan Power Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating licenses are not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current licenses, which will occur on October 25, 2004 for Unit 1 and December 23, 2017 for Unit 2. The power station, which is located within in a 650-acre site on the shores of Lake Michigan, consists of two units, each of which is equipped with a four-loop pressurized water reactor designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a once-through cooling system withdrawing and discharging water to the Monticello Reservoir, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and A steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. Units 1 and 2 are rated at 3,304 megawatts (MW)-thermal and 3,468 MW-thermal, with corresponding electrical outputs of approximately 1,044 MW-electric and 1,117 MW-electric, respectively. Units 1 and 2 reactors were placed into service in August 1975 and July 1978, respectively, are housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Non-radioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Six 345-kilovolt and one 745-kilovolt transmission lines connect the units to the regional transmission grid; the lines extend an overall length of 227 miles. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Lake Michigan and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

AN - 36440292; 11158 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance to Louisiana Energy Services (LES) of a license for the construction and operation of a gas centrifuge uranium enrichment facility near Eunice in Lea County, New Mexico is proposed. New power plants are currently supplying approximately 20 percent of the nation's electricity requirements, but only approximately 15 and 14 percent of the enrichment services that were purchased by US nuclear reactors in 2002 and 2003, respectively, were provided by enrichment plants located in the United States, Currently, the only uranium enrichment facility in operating in the country is located in Paducah, Kentucky, imposing reliability risks for the supply of generated enriched uranium. The current administration's energy policy, which was released in May 2001, recognized the need for the NEF and stated the importance of having a reliable source of enriched uranium for natural energy security purposes. The proposed facility, to be known as the National Enrichment Facility (NEF), would produce enriched uranium-235 by the gas centrifuge process, with a production capacity of 3.0 million separative work units per year. The enriched uranium would be used in commercial nuclear power plants. The license to be issued would authorize LES to possess and us special nuclear material, source material, and byproduct material at the NEF site, which would be constructed on land for which a 35-year easement has been granted by the state of New Mexico. If the license were approved, facility construction would begin in 2006 and continue for eight years through 2013. NEF operations would begin in 2008, with peak production capacity being achieved in 2013. Operations would continue at peak production until approximately nine years before the license expired, at which time decommissioning activities would be phased in, with completion of decommissioning by 2036. In addition to the NEF licensing proposed alternative, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative. Cost of construction of the NEF is estimated at $1.2 billion in 2002 dollars. Decontamination and containment costs are estimated at $837.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The NEF would provide an additional, reliable, and economically viable domestic source of enrichment services. The facility would contribute to the attainment of natural energy security policy objectives by providing for an additional source of low-enriched uranium. The NEF would produce 25 percent of the current and projected demand for enrichment services within the United States. The construction-related labor boost would peak at approximately 800 jobs, NEF operation would create 210 new jobs, and decommissioning activities would employ 180 workers. Tax revenues accruing primarily to the state would amount to $177 million to $212 million over the life of the facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would affect 200 acres of a 543-acre site, the entirety of which would be fenced. Pipelines and cattle grazing uses within the site would have to be relocated. Cooling towers associated with the NEF would contribute slightly to the extent of fog in the area, and the facility site received the lowest scenic quality rating used by the Bureau of Land Management. Two of the seven archaeological sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be affected by NEF construction, and a third site would be located along an access road.

The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, known as neither Entergy Operations, Inc, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. A total of 23 issues that apply to ANO-2 are addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the ANO-1 in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, ANO-2 would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is July 17, 2018. ANO-1 is located on 1,164 acres of land on a peninsula extending into Lake Dardanelle in a rural area in west-central Arkansas. The site is surrounded by an exclusion area with a radius of 0.7 mile. ANO is a two-unit facility. Both units are pressurized-water reactors. ANO-2 has a Combustion Engineering nuclear steam supply system and a o-loop reactor system rated for an output of 2,815 megawatts-thermal (MW(t) in 1980. In 2002, an increase to a maximum reactor core power level of 3,026 MW(t) was authorized, bringing the rated net electrical power output up to 1,048 MW. The unit's condensers utilize a closed-cycle cooling system equipped with a natural-draft cooling tower to dissipate waste heat to the atmosphere. The service water system is the source of cooling water for the closed-loop component of the cooling system, cooling tower makeup water and, if necessary, the emergency cooling pond. For the ANO02 service water system, water is drawn from the Illoins Bayou arm of Lake Dardanelle through a 4,400-foot-long canal at an average rate of 23 million gallon per day. ANO uses liquid, gaseous, and solid water processing systems to collect and treat radioactive materials produced as a by-product of operations. Power is delivered to the regional power grid via 191 miles of transmission lines, requiring 3,700 acres of rights-of-way. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant unit would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The ANO site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of ANO-2 would continue to remove water from Lake Dardanelle. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radio-nuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

In some countries, where there is widespread use of radiation sources and radiation generators, a national training centre can be the way to develop skills and sustain education and training programmes. However, for developing countries with few radiation sources and generators (e.g. countries in West Asia), a fully functioning and adequately staffed and equipped national training centre in each country might not be justified and, more importantly, may be difficult to sustain. The solution in this case has to be the establishment of regional training centres, which can be sustained collectively among Member States in the region or with the assistance of the IAEA. The centre will be able to fulfil the national and regional needs in terms of radiation protection and the safe use of radiation sources, and will constitute an important and essential element for a sustainable education and training programme. A good example is the West Asia Regional Training Centre in the Syrian Arab Republic, where significant national, regional and inter-regional training has been conducted with the support of the IAEA.

The primary objective of the project, the technical co-operation Model Project for Upgrading Radiation Protection Infrastructures is to assist Member States of the IAEA to address protection, safety issues and shortcomings in safety infrastructure for the control of radiation sources. Fifty-two Member States of the IAEA were assisted from 1995 to 2000. Currently, about 80 countries are benefiting from IAEA assistance under the framework of the Model Project. Participating countries in the different regions have been divided into two groups: those focusing on national regulatory control and occupational radiation protection programmes (Milestones 1 and 2); and those focusing on the development of technical capability for sustainable radiation and waste safety infrastructure (Milestones 3, 4 and 5). Peer review assessment missions were instituted in 1999 by the IAEA to assess the effectiveness of regulatory programmes for radiation safety, and thereby enable appropriate recommendations to be made which are meant to strengthen or upgrade the programme commensurate with the extent of application of ionizing radiation and radiation sources in the assessed Member States. The IAEA, noting that many of the peer review assessment missions are of a qualitative nature, is developing, in collaboration with consultants, a quantitative assessment scheme for evaluating national infrastructures for radiation safety. This scheme makes use of infrastructure parameters, assessment criteria and a performance indicator grading scheme to quantify and assess the progress in achieving compliance with the performance criterion for each of the infrastructure parameters of the milestones. The paper focuses on findings and recommendations of peer review assessment missions regarding the status of implementation of Milestones 1 and 2 and key issues for discussion.

(EIGHTEENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36437551; 11104 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, In Houston County, Alabama is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 18th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration dates of the current licenses, which are June 25, 2017 for Unit 1 and March 31, 2021 for Unit 2. The power station is located within in a 500-acre site in miles on the west bank of the Chattahoochee River in southeastern Alabama, five miles north of Gordon, 17 miles east of Dothan, and 100 miles southeast of Montgomery consists of two units equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a closed-loop cooling system that withdrawals from to the Chattachoche River; a small portion of the process water may be discharged to the river during periods of low flow. Each unit is rated at 2,775 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 910 MW-electric. The reactor which was upgraded in 1997, is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Non-radioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Five transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Chattahoochee River and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Occasional release of water to the river from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near-shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

Risk methods involving both the use of qualitative insights, and quantitative results from a fire probabilistic risk analysis are reviewed. The applicability of these methods to develop a prioritized list of fire barrier penetration seals in a plant based on risk significance is presented as a procedure to illustrate the benefits of the methods. The paper concludes that current fire risk assessment methods can be confidently used to prioritize plant fire protection features, specifically fire barrier penetration seals. Simple prioritization schemes, using qualitative assessments and insights from fire PRA methodology may be implemented without the need for quantitative results. More elaborate prioritization schemes that allow further refinements to the categorization process may be implemented using the quantitative results of the screening processes in good fire PRAs. The use of the quantitative results from good fire PRAs provide several benefits for risk prioritization of fire protection features at plants, mainly from the plant systems analyses conducted for a fire PRA.

(SIXTEENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36435877; 10863 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station Rock Island County, Illinois is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 16th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, South Carolina Electric and Gas Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. One issue was identified as potentially significant, specifically, electric shock from induced current along transmission line corridors. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which August 14, 2012. The power station, which is located within a 871-acre site on the east bank of Pool 14 of the Mississippi River between Lock and Dams 13 and 14, consists of two units equipped with nuclear steam supply systems, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that use boiling water reactors, once-through condenser cooling systems that withdrawal from and discharge to Pool 14, closed-cycle cooling water systems, and steam generators connected to the reactor vessel. Each unit is rated at 2,957 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 930 MW-electric. Units 1 and 2, which were respectively placed in service in February and March of 1983, are refueled on a 24-month schedule. The reactors are housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structures with steel liners. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Five 345-kilovolt transmission lines, with a combined length of approximately 110 miles, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Pool 14 and deliver makeup water back to the pool. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the impoundment. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. 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 - 36439256; 10860 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for the Dresden Nuclear Power Station, units 2 and 3, in Grundy County, Illinois is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 17th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Exelon Generation Company, LLC, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues.

If the licenses are renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating licenses are not renewed, units 2 and 3 the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current licenses, which expire December 22, 2009 and January 12, 2011, respectively. The power station, which is located on the south bank of the Illinois River at the confluence of the Des Plaines and Kankakee rivers in the Goose Lake Township of Grundy County, consists of two units equipped with nuclear steam supply systems, designed by General Electric Company, that use boiling water reactors; each reactor has a design rating for a net electrical power output of 912 megawatts electric. The cooling system can operate in either of two modes. In the indirect open-cycle mode,m once-through cooling water from the Kankakee River is used to remove heat from the main (turbine) condensers via the circulating water system and from other auxiliary equipment via the service water system. The heated effluent is conculated through a cooling canal and pond before being discharged to the Illinois River. In the closed-cycle mode, heated effluent is circulated through mechanical draft cooling towers, the recycled through the condensers with limited make-up water withdrawn from the Kankakee River. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Five 345-kilovolt transmission lines, extending a total of 220.5 miles, connect the power station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers; Dresden provides enough electricity to supply the needs of 350,000 industries, commercial establishments, and residences. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Kankakee River and deliver makeup water back to the Illinois River. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore and downstream aquatic ecosystems of the Illinois River. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere.

Bohouth). The soil received 17 mu g P/g soil of super(32)P-labeled TSP, and samples were collected from soils and plants at successive dates. Soil inorganic P was approximately 94% of total soil P, with only 50-80% being soluble. Calcium phosphate compounds were the dominant fraction ( less than or equal to 68%) of the soluble inorganic soil P followed by occluded iron phosphate ( less than or equal to 48%), and all other fractions were less than or equal to 9%. Isotopic measurements showed that approximately 50% of fertilizer P was non-exchangeable within 2 days, and TSP values in each fraction of soil inorganic P fluctuated in relatively similar proportions to the concentrations of P fractions in soil.

AN - 66778972; 15304975 AB - Japanese catfish contaminated by (137)Cs have been used to investigate how dressing and cooking methods affect the removal of radioactivity from the fish. During the dressing, 6.0% of the initial (137)Cs activity in live fish was removed by washing them, and a further 30.3% of this activity relative to the washed fish was removed by discarding the nonedible body parts (such as the skeleton, fins, visceral mass, liver, and kidney) and by washing the chopped edible remains. Fish curry was cooked with various spices, vegetable oil, and greens and other vegetables following a method commonly used in Southeast Asian and East Asian countries. The cooking process removed a further 61.6% of the (137)Cs activity relative to the activity in dressed fish. Taken together, this normal domestic fish dressing and culinary process removed 74.7% of the initial (137)Cs activity that had been present in the live fish. During the cooking, the radioactivity removed from the fish pieces was found to be distributed throughout the ingredients of the curry. The cooked pieces retained, on average, 38.5% of the radioactivity present in the raw dressed pieces. Among the ingredients, the gravy was found to contain an average of 34.8% of the activity of the dressed fish. The activity in greens and vegetables was found to vary from 4.0% (in cauliflower) to 7.2% (in potatoes). It may be concluded that normal home preparation and culinary processes removed much of the radioactivity from the fish.

Uranium, Cd, Zn and Cu were found to be more enhanced in small phosphogypsum particles (45-75 mu m) where the highest concentration was found for Cu (51.7 ppm). In addition, the element transfer factors ([equation] alt="Image" align="absbottom" border="0" height=25 width=290>) from Syrian phosphate rock to phosphogypsum were calculated and found to be 30, 8 and 17% for Zn, Cd and U, respectively. Moreover, laboratory leaching experiments of phosphogypsum by distilled water, dilute H sub(2)SO sub(4) solutions and selective extractants have been performed. Leaching results have shown that around 20% of the U and 100% of the Zn are transferred to the aqueous phase. Batch-wise leaching with dilute H sub(2)SO sub(4) solutions shows increased solubility of U, Zn, Cu and Cd from phosphogypsum, while leaching with selective extractants has been performed to determine the amount of exchangeable trace metals which are adsorbed, on gypsum particle surfaces, the amount of trace metals present inside the gypsum lattice, the amount of trace metals associated with organic materials and the amount of trace metals soluble in acids. The results obtained in this study can be utilized to verify the environmentally safe use of phosphogypsum as an amendment to agricultural soils.

AN - 71708348; 15003550 AB - OBJECTIVEWe previously proposed the hamster cheek pouch model of oral cancer for BNCT studies. We herein present the biodistribution of a non-toxic boron compound, GB-10 (Na(2)(10)B10H10), in this model to assess its potential for BNCT or BNCT enhanced Fast Neutron Therapy.MATERIALS AND METHODSWe evaluated the uptake and retention of GB-10 in tumour and precancerous tissue and in potentially dose-limiting, clinically relevant normal tissues.RESULTSMean tumour boron concentration delivered by GB-10 (50mgB/kg) peaked to 77.7+/-28.0 ppm at 20min post-administration and remained at therapeutically useful values of 31.9+/-21.4 ppm at 3h. The clearance rate for normal tissues was faster than for tumour tissue. The consistently low brain and spinal cord values would preclude normal tissue toxicity. The uptake of GB-10 by precancerous tissue may be of potential use in the treatment of field cancerized areas. GB-10 was deposited homogeneously in different tumour areas, an asset when treating heterogenous tumours. The data suggests that the joint administration of BPA and GB-10 may improve the therapeutic efficacy of BNCT.CONCLUSIONSGB-10 is a potential boron carrier for BNCT of head and neck tumours and for BNCT-FNT.

Soil and rock samples from the twenty-two locations of the island, eleven species of benthic algae, six species of corals and two species of oysters were analyzed. The activity of super(226)Ra in soil was found in the range of 7.22-103.8, in benthic algae 2.5-9.7, in coral 5.5-10 and in oyster 4.2-11.5 Bq kg super(-1). The activity of super(232)Th in soil was found in the range of 14.56-216, in benthic algae 1.3-12.6, in coral 4.4-15.6 and in oyster 3.2-8.4 Bq kg super(-1); and the activity of super(40)K in soil was in the range of 322-732, in benthic algae 17.1-45.5, in coral 21-146 and in oyster 24-32 Bq kg super(-1). The external radiation dose rate due to activity concentration of natural radionuclides in soil was assessed. The activity of anthropogenic super(137)Cs was found below detection limit.

They were cultured on DSD1 medium until rooting stage, then they were transferred to a liquid DSD1 medium containing 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 80, 120, or 150 mM NaCl for 30 d. The shoot length and leaf number of Ashlamesh, Helwani, and Kassofee were significantly increased at 10 and/or 30 mM NaCl, whereas, 150 mM NaCl decreased shoot length of all varieties except Kassofee. The presence of NaCl at 80 mM or higher concentrations decreased the chlorophyll content and root number of all varieties, while 30 mM NaCl increased root number of Kassofee.

The study was carried out by applying both in vitro dual culture and small root pieces testing systems. The results showed that there was a great variation in percentage mortality of immature stages, number of eggs laid, adult fertility, oviposition period, and developmental time between all tested rootstocks and the local variety, regardless of the applied testing systems. Based on the population prediction, Helwani would be a suitable host as it would be susceptible to the destructive insects in the field and the rootstocks would be resistant.

SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION, FAIRFIELD COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA. (FIFTEENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: VIRGIL C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION, FAIRFIELD COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA. (FIFTEENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36352786; 10647-040092_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Virgil C Summer Nuclear Station in fairfield County, South Carolina is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 15th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, South Carolina Electric and Gas Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is August 6, 2022. The power station, which is located within in a 2,245-acre site in a largely rural area 15 miles west of Winnsboro and 26 miles northwest of Columbia, consists of one unit equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a once-through cooling system that withdrawals from and discharges to the Monticello Reservoir, a closed-cycle cooling water system, and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. The unit is rated at 2,775 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 966 MW-electric. The reactor, which was placed in service in January 1983 and was upgraded in 1999, is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Ten transmission lines connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Monticello Reservoir and deliver makeup water back to the reservoir. Release of water to the reservoir from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Total viable count (TVC) of market samples of koobi ranged between log 10 4.11 - 6.78 cfu/g, whilst mould and yeast count ranged between log 10 1.38-3.38 cfu/g. Staphylococcus aureus counts ranged between log 10 2.85 - 4.15 cfu/g. After 4 weeks' storage under ambient conditions, total viable count increased to log 10 7.5 plus or minus 2.5 cfu/g. Significant reduction in total viable count was observed after treatment with gamma radiation. A least square regression fitted through the data points indicated that 1.3 kGy would be required to reduce the microbial population on the product by one log cycle. Insects and pink colonies of halophilic bacteria were observed on all the nonirradiated samples after 4 weeks' storage. Treatment with 3 kGy gamma radiation eliminated all insect forms, while microbial population was controlled with TVC ranging between log 10 1.9 plus or minus 1.1 and log 10 2.7 plus or minus 1.6 cfu/g throughout the 16 weeks' storage period. The proliferation of halophilic bacteria and subsequent appearance of pink colonies on irradiated koobi was suppressed until the 16th week. Irradiation, therefore, extended the shelf-life of koobi from 4 to 15 weeks.

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

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

The transport of radioactive materials involves a risk both for the workers and members of the public. The safe transport of radioactive material is ensured in Bangladesh by compliance with Nuclear Safety and Radiation Control (NSRC) Act-93 and NSRC Rules-97. The Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission is the competent authority for the enforcement of the NSRC act and rules. The competent authority has established regulatory control at each stage to ensure radiation safety to transport workers, members of the general public and the environment. An overview is presented of the activities related to the transport of radioactive material in Bangladesh. In particular, the applicable legislation, the scope of authority and the regulatory functions of the competent authority are discussed. The categories of radioactive materials transported and the packaging requirements for the safe transport of these radioactive materials are also described.

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

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

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

The effect of the irradiated solution composition was studied. The results showed that benzene is more resistant to destruction than chlorinated benzenes. The presence of oxidizing and reducing reactive species and the rapid reaction rates with halogenated benzenes increased the degradation rate of the pollutants. Dechlorination of CB and 1,2-DCB was observed. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and spectroscopy (UV-Vis) were used to monitor changes in the radiation solutions. The final aqueous irradiation products were shown to be a complex mixture of by-products.

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

ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT NO. 2, DARLINGTON AND CHESTERFIELD COUNTIES, SOUTH CAROLINA (THIRTEENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36434935; 10542 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Unit 2 of the H.B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, located on a site in Darlinton and Chesterfield counties South Carolina for an additional 20 years is proposed in this 13th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Carolina Power and Light Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. The remaining 23 issues that apply to the unit are addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is July 21, 2010. The power station is located on a 6,020-acre site, which includes the 2,250-acre Lake Robinson. The Darlington County Internal Combustion Turbine Electric Plant is also located on the site. The nuclear unit consists of a pressurized water reactor, with a three-loop Westinghouse steam supply system. The unit iw rates at 2,30 megawatts (MW) thermal, with a corresponding nominal net electrical output of approximately 70 MW-electric. The reactor, which was placed in service in 1970, is housed within a dry, reinforced concrete, steel-lined containment structure. The unit reactor system consists of a pressurized-water reactor and its associated coolant system designed by Combustion Engineering. The steam and power conversion system, including its turbine generator, is designed to permit the generation of a net electrical output of 276 megawatts (MWe). The reactor is licensed to allow operation at the system's full-rate power level of 1,500 MW-thermal. Plant cooling is provided by the three-loop cooling system, Cooling water is obtained from and discharged to Lake Robinson. Two groundwater production wells provide makeup water for Unit 1 and sanitary water for both units 1 and 2; three additional wells are used to provide makeup water for Unit 1. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Four 230-kilovolt transmission lines, extending a total of 46 miles deliver electricity generated by the plant to the regional grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewal would allow for the continued operation of Unit 2, providing power to the applicant's consumer electrical grid and continuing to support regional population and economic growth. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw million gallons of process water from the Lake Robinson and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the lake from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the nearshore area. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

AN - 71380691; 14626326 AB - The uncertainty band associated with the transmission curve for 100 kVp x ray in lead was determined using Monte Carlo methods and the sensitivity analysis approach. All uncertainty sources (statistical, systematical and the uncertainties arising from the diversity of x-ray tubes) were taken into account. The transmission of 100 kVp x ray in Syrian building bricks was then computed together with the uncertainty associated with it. Finally, the lead equivalent thicknesses for 10, 15, and 20-cm-thick bricks were estimated. The results are in good agreement with experimental results. This study recommends, as a rule of thumb, to use the lead-equivalent values of 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 mm for the 10, 15, and 20-cm-thick building bricks, respectively.

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

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

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

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

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

Four pathotypes (pt 1-4) were identified based on the lesion form and infection response of the genotypes with mean disease rating from 1.76 to 7.46. Pt 1 exhibited low virulence on all used genotypes, pts 2 and 3 were moderately virulent and pt 4 was highly virulent. The two most common pathotypes were pt 3 (35%) and pt 4 (42%). The barley genotype AECS 71 was highly resistant to all pathotypes suggesting the existence of a general resistance mechanism. This genotype may be recommended as a possible donor in breeding programmes. The information obtained from this study should facilitate deploying effective resistance to C. sativus in barley.

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

Paper No. TAM-E.2 N1 - Last updated - 2010-05-03 ER - TY - BOOK T1 - Regulatory methods and issues in decommissioning AN - 20492725; 8016161 AB - Successful decommissioning of nuclear facilities depends not only on an operator having a sound decommissioning plan and programme in place prior to beginning decommissioning, it also requires that the regulator have a sound regulatory infrastructure in place to both provide guidance and monitor the facility during decommissioning. A regulatory infrastructure includes both regulations and compliance strategies. Regulations in some Member States include criteria for: (1) site release for artificial radioactive material with and without restrictions; (2) site criteria for technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive material; (3) radioactivity that may be present in building materials and on equipment that are released from a site during decommissioning (i.e. clearance); (4) public outreach; (5) environmental reviews; and (6) source control. In addition, the roles of regulators and developers must be firmly established and it is recognized that the responsibility for safety ultimately is the responsibility of the operator. Strategies for decommissioning materials facilities include cleaning the site to allow any use after release, terminating the licence with restriction on future site use and perpetual licence (nuclear parks with no site release envisioned). Strategies for decommissioning reactor facilities include DECON, SAFSTORE, or ENTOMB. Issues associated with decommissioning include the on-site storage of high level waste, storage of low level waste, materials requirements versus the reactor decommissioning approach, and ensuring that realistic scenarios and modelling techniques and tools are available and being used. To aid licensees and regulators in the decommissioning of nuclear facilities, the IAEA and some Member States have developed safety standards and guidance documents. Each of these activities will provide support for Member States in meeting the obligations under the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management.

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

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

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

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: FORT CALHOUN STATION, UNIT 1, WASHINGTON COUNTY, NEBRASKA (TWELFTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36381535; 10375-030381_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses Fort Calhous Nuclear Power Station, Unit, located in Washington County, Nebraska for an additional 20 years is proposed in this 12th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Florida Power and Light Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. A total of 23 issues that apply to the unit is addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is August 9, 2013. The power station is located on a 660-acre site, approximately 55 acres of which is occupied byplant facilities or maintained as part of plant operations. The unit reactor system consists of a pressurized-water reactor and its associated coolant system designed by Combustion Engineering. The steam and power conversion system, including its turbine generator, is designed to permit the generation of a net electrical output of 276 megawatts (MWe). The reactor is licensed to allow operation at the system's full-rate power level of 1,500 MW-thermal. Plant cooling is provided by a once-through cooling system that draws water from the Missouri River. Potable water supplies are drawn from the city of Blair municipal water system. Small amounts of groundwater are drawn from two wells, predominantly to adjust water levels and flush the sanitary-waste lagoons and the center-pivot irrigation system. The units employ liquid, gaseous, and solid water processing systems to collect and treat radioactive materials produced as a by-product of operations. Power is delivered to the regional power grid via three 161-kilovolt transmission lines, though only one line is affected by the license; that line extends approximately seven miles in two segments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant unit would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdrawal process water from the Missouri River and deliver makeup water back to the river. Release of water to the river from the once-through system would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the nearshore area. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

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

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

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

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

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

The power station, which is located on a 488-acre site four miles north of Ontario on the south shore of Lake Ontario, consists of one unit equipped with a nuclear steam supply system, designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, that uses a pressurized-water reactor, a once-through cooling system, and two identical closed heat-transfer loops, each of which includes a reactor coolant pump and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel. The unit is rated at 1,520 megawatts (MW)-thermal, with a corresponding electrical output of approximately 490 MW-electric. The reactor, which was placed in service in 1970 and was upgraded in 1972, is housed within a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner.

Four 0.6-mile 115-kilovolt (kV) underground transmission lines deliver electricity generated by the plant to a substation on the south side of Lake Road which, in turn, sends the electricity to the regional grid via five 3.5-mile 115-kV overhead lines the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Lake Ontario at a rate of 354,600 gallons per minute (gpm) and deliver makeup water back to the lake. Release of water to the lake from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the 175 acres of the nearshore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw 14,600 gpm from the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards.

AN - 73338013; 12792406 AB - Facilities undergoing decommissioning are required to conduct radiological surveys to initially characterize contaminants, guide remediation activities, and demonstrate that cleanup criteria have been met, based on screening or site-specific derived concentration guideline levels. This paper presents a number of technical considerations, not all inclusive, associated with the use of in situ gamma spectroscopy that should be addressed when such a method is proposed for conducting final status surveys. The technical issues identified here do not yet reflect the policy of the NRC on this subject.

LUCIE UNITS 1 AND 2, HUTCHINSON ISLAND, ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA. (ELEVENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). [Part 2 of 2] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: ST. LUCIE UNITS 1 AND 2, HUTCHINSON ISLAND, ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA. (ELEVENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36384884; 10119-030242_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses St Lucie Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2, located in St. Lucie County, Florida for an additional 20 years is proposed in this 11th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Florida Power and Light Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. A total of 23 issues that apply to the units are addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the units in this final supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is March 1, 2016, for Unit 1 and April 6, 2023, for Unit 2. The power station is located on an 1,130-acre site on the widest section of Hutchinson Island in an area previously degraded by mosquito control projects. The plant has two General Electric pressurized light-water reactors, each with a design rating for a net power output of 1,678 megawatts of electric power. Plant cooling is provided by extraction of water from the Atlantic Ocean via three offshore intake structures, which pump the water into an intake canal. Heated water is sent back to the ocean through offshore diffusers. The units employ liquid, gaseous, and solid water processing systems to collect and treat radioactive materials produced as a by-product of operations. Power is delivered to the regional power grid via three 230-kilovolt transmission lines, located within a single right-of-way extending 11 miles to the Midway substation POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant units would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw millions of gallons of process water from the Atlantic Ocean via the intake structures and deliver makeup water back to the ocean. Release of water to the ocean from the once-through systems would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the nearshore area. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

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

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

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

Evidence for this includes valley networks, outflow channels, shorelines and deposits in craters, and a possible sea in Argyre, which overflowed to become a source for Ares Vallis. Ice-covered lakes may have existed in the Valles Marineris (VM). There is also evidence for a northern ocean based on similar elevations of channel termini, the extreme smoothness of the northern plains, possible subaqueous alteration of basalts, and polygonal ground possibly formed by ice wedging.

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

Preparation date: February 20, 2003 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A MIXED OXIDE FUEL FABRICATION FACILITY AT THE SAVANNAH RIVER SITE, SOUTH CAROLINA. [Part 2 of 2] T2 - CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A MIXED OXIDE FUEL FABRICATION FACILITY AT THE SAVANNAH RIVER SITE, SOUTH CAROLINA. AN - 36372284; 9949-030070_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a licence for the construction and operation of a mixed oxide (MOX) fuel fabrication facility at the Savannah River Site (SRS) in South Carolina is proposed. The facility would convert depleted uranium and weapons-grade plutonium into MOX fuel. Use of the proposed facility to produce MOX fuel would be opart of the Department of Energy's (DOE) surplus plutinium disposition program. The MOX facility would convert 37.5 tons of surplus weapons-grade plutonium into MOX fuel. The facility would be situated on a 41-acre site in the F-Area of SRS. Feedstock (surplus plutonium dioxide and depleted uranium dioxide) would be transported to the SRS to make the MOX fuel. The surplus plutonium is currently stored at seven DOE facilities within the United States. Additionally, depleted uranium hexaflouride would be transported from a DOE site (assumed to be the gaseous diffusion uranium facility in Portsmouth, Ohio) to a commercial fabrication facility (assumed to be the General Electric Company facility in Wilmington, North Carolina) where it would be converted to depleted uranium dioxide and transported to SRS. Once manufactured, the MOX fuel would be transported to mission reactors, where it would be irradiated. It is assumed that one or more reactors would later be authroized by to use MOX fuel. Two other proposed facilities and operations are considered in this draft EIS: (1) the Pit Dissasssembly and Conversion Facility (PCDF) and the Waste Solidification Building (WSB), both of which would be located at the SRS. The PDFC would be required to convert 28.2 tons of surplus plutonium from a metal form to plutonium dioxide powder. The WSB would process liquid waste streams from the PDCF and MOX facility. Other waste from the MOX facility, not sent to the WSB, would be transferred to and managed by the SRS. National economic costs for the MOX, PDCF, and WSB facilities and operations are estimated at $3.85 billion. The improvement of US 34 from the intersection of Carman Road west to Monmouth, a distance of 24.85 miles, in Henderson and Warren counties, Illinois is proposed. The existing facility, which is a key regional corridor for the east-west movement of people and goods in and through west central Illinois, is affected by a high accident rate, including four fatal accidents between January 1995 and December 1997. In addition to the preferred alternative, the draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative, a mass transit alternative, transportation system management, an upgrade of the existing facility, and a number of alignment alternatives for relocation of the facility. The preferred alternative would provide a high-type transportation facility for local and regional traffic in the two counties that would include a continuous four-lane link between the existing freeway at Gulfport in the vicinity of Carman Road to a point east of Monmouth. The preferred alternative would involve construction of a partially limited access four-lane facility that would include a bypass of the community of Biggsville. This final EIS, which is offered in an abbreviated form, provides errata to the draft EIS, an outline of the preferred alternative, public comments on the draft EIS, and four appendices. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The MOX program would ensure that plutonium produced for nuclear weapons and declared excess to national security was converted into poliferation-resistant forms. As a result, the nation would be able to meet it's international commitments and prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass distruction, while contributing to the energy needs of the country. During operations, the MOX, DCF, and WSB would generatwe 480 direct and 780 indirect jobs, producing an income of $61 million per year. The new facility would improve traffic safety, system continuity, and system capacity in the area. The project would provide the final section of multi-lane highway upgrades between Galesburg, Illinois and Burlington, Iowa. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though the program would result in increased releases of radiation to the local area, these releases would be negligible. However, in the unlikely even of an accidental release of radioactive material, due to serious breakdowns of the MOX system, would result in large releases of radionuclides into the local area. Similarly, routine transportation of nuclear wastes to the MOX and related facilities would result in negligible releases of radionuclides, but accidental releases could have serious consequences. Additional rights-of-way requirements totaling 687 acres would result in the displacement of one business and 10 residences, 677 acres of farmland, 16.8 acres of 100-year floodplain land, 20.1 acres of woodland, and 0.42 acres of wetlands. The highway would sever 28 farm tracts and affect 70 farms and 95 farm owners. Approximately 471 acres of prime farmland and 58 acres of farmland of statewide importance would be taken. Two parcels would be landlocked. The highway would traverse 13 surface water flows, three more than the existing facility. Traffic-generated noise would violate federal standards in the vicinity of 22 residential receptors, though this figure would be four less than that under the No Action Alternative. Construction workers would encounter two hazardous waste sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Energy Reorganization Act of 1974.

AN - 36442838; 9914 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, for an additional 20 years is proposed in this tenth supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (formerly Philadelphia Electric Company), nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. A total of 23 issues that apply to the units is addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the units in this final supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is August 8, 2013, for Unit 2 and July 2, 2014, for Unit 3. The power station is located on an 620-acre site in southern Pennsylvania on the banks of the Susquehanna River, approximately 19 miles south of Lancaster. The site includes an exclusion area with a radius of 0.51 mile around the plant. The plant has two General Electric light-water reactors, each with a design rating for a new power output of 1,093 megawatts electric. Plant cooling is provided by a once-through heat dissipation system that dissipates heat to the environment. Units 2 and 3 produce electricity to supply the needs of approximately 35 percent of Exelon's 1.5 million business and residential customers in its mid-Atlantic service areas. The . The units employ liquid, gaseous, and solid water processing systems to collect and treat radioactive materials produced as a by-product of operations. Power is delivered to the regional power grid via one 500-kilovolt transmission line extending 34 miles from the Peachbottom south substation eastward through Maryland and Delaware to the Keeney substation in northwestern Delaware. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant unit would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdrawal 1.5 million gallons of process water from the Susquehanna River via the Conowingo Pond and deliver makeup water to the pond. Release of water to the lake from the once-through systems would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the waterbody. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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 - 16360874; 9894 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses Fort Calhous Nuclear Power Station, Unit, located in Washington County, Nebraska for an additional 20 years is proposed in this 12th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Florida Power and Light Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. A total of 23 issues that apply to the unit is addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the unit in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the unit would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is August 9, 2013. The power station is located on a 660-acre site, approximately 55 acres of which is occupied byplant facilities or maintained as part of plant operations. The unit reactor system consists of a pressurized-water reactor and its associated coolant system designed by Combustion Engineering. The steam and power conversion system, including its turbine generator, is designed to permit the generation of a net electrical output of 276 megawatts (MWe). The reactor is licensed to allow operation at the system's full-rate power level of 1,500 MW-thermal. Plant cooling is provided by a once-through cooling system that draws water from the Missouri River. Potable water supplies are drawn from the city of Blair municipal water system. Small amounts of groundwater are drawn from two wells, predominantly to adjust water levels and flush the sanitary-waste lagoons and the center-pivot irrigation system. The units employ liquid, gaseous, and solid water processing systems to collect and treat radioactive materials produced as a by-product of operations. Power is delivered to the regional power grid via three 161-kilovolt transmission lines, though only one line is affected by the license; that line extends approximately seven miles in two segments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant unit would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdrawal million gallons of process water from the Missouri River and deliver makeup water back to the river. Release of water to the river from the once-through system would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the nearshore area. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Determination was based on the percentage of inoculated seeds that produced fungal hyphae when cultured on potato dextrose agar. The technique allows low, intermediate and absolute levels of resistance to leaf stripe to be determined. Genotypes CI-5791 and Banteng were resistant, Thibaut, Igri and PK (30-531) were moderately resistant, Gollf was moderately susceptible, and WI2291, Arabi Abiad, Furat 1 and Arrivate were susceptible.

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

Preparation date: December 13, 2002 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: NORTH ANNA POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, LOUISA COUNTY, VIRGINIA (SEVENTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 16362141; 9850 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for the North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2, Louisa County, Virginia for an additional 20 years is proposed in this seventh supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant (the Virginia Electric and Power Company) nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the North Anna units in this final supplement. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power and other matters within the state's jurisdiction or the purview of the owners. In addition to the No Action Alternative, alternatives to license renewal addressed in this supplement include coal-fired generation, gas-fired generation, imported electrical power, and other, less traditional means of power generation. If the operating license is not renewed, North Anna, Units 1 and 2, would be shut down on or before the expiration dates of the current licenses, which are April 1, 2018 and June August 21, 2020, respectively. Each unit, which is rated for a net electrical output of 2,775 MW-thermal, consists of three-coolant-loop pressurized light-water reactor nuclear steam supply and steam-driven turbine generator designed and manufactured by Westinghouse. Makeup water for the once-through cooling systems is withdrawn from Lake Anna, a 9,600-acre reservoir created in 1971 by erecting a dam on the main stem of the North Anna River. The reservoir also provides recreational opportunities and flood control benefits. The power station uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems. Three 500-kilovolt transmission lines and one 230-kilovolt transmission line, each of which occupies a separate right-of-way ranging from 15 to 41 miles in length, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the units would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species as well as providing recreational and flood control benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of units would continue to remove significant quantities of water from the North Anna Reservoir and return makeup water to the impoundment. Release of water to the impoundment from the cooling system results in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

AN - 16350135; 9849 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Surry Power Station, units 1 and 2 in Surry County, Virginia for an additional 20 years is proposed in this third final 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. The applicant, Virginia Electric and Power Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. A total of 23 issues that apply to the units is addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the ANO-1 in this final supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is May 25, 2012 for Unit 1 and January 29, 2013 for Unit 2. The power station is located on an 840-acre site on the Gravel Neck Peninsula on the south side of the James River, approximately 25 miles upstream of the point where the river enters the Chesapeake Bay. The site includes an exclusion area with a radius. Each unit consists of a pressurized light-water reactor and three steam-driven turbine generators manufactured by Westinghouse. Each unit was designed for an output of 2,441 megawatts-thermal, with a corresponding gross electrical output of 822.6 megawatts-electric. Units 1 and 2 went into commercial operation in December 1972 and May 1973, respectively. In 1995, both units were up-rated to a core power output of 2,546 megawatts-thermal, with a calculated gross output of 855.4 megawatts-electric. Average net capacity is 1,602 megawatts-electric for the plant. The units' condensers utilize once-through cooling systems that withdraw brackish water from the James River estuary, pump water through unit condensers, and return heated water to the estuary at a point approximately six miles upriver from the withdrawal point. The units employ liquid, gaseous, and solid water processing systems to collect and treat radioactive materials produced as a by-product of operations. Power is delivered to the regional power grid via nine transmission lines running with two corridors, extending a total of 170 miles, requiring approximately 5,000 acres of rights-of-way. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant unit would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to remove water from the James River and, via 10 wells, from the Potomac aquifer, and deliver makeup water to the James River. Release of water to the river from the once-through systems would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the estuary. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards.

The Reactor is inherently safe that uses highly enriched uranium (HEU) as fuel, light water as moderator and beryllium as a reflector. The construction, commissioning and operation of this reactor have been subjected to the system of authorization and inspection developed by the Regulatory Authority, the Radiation Protection Board (RPB) with the assistance of International Atomic Energy Agency. The Reactor has been regulated by the preparation of an Interim Safety Analysis Report (SAR) based upon International Atomic Energy Agency Standards. International Safety Assessment peer review and safe inspections have confirmed a high level of operational safety of the reactor since it started operating in 1994. Since its operation there has been no significant reported incident/accidents. Several studies have validated the inherent safety of the reactor. The reactor has been used for neutron activation analysis of various samples, research and teaching. About 1000 samples are analysed annually.

The photon energy range considered was between 0.03-1.0 MeV. Several methods recommended in the technical literature for this purpose were assessed and their ability to provide reasonable estimates for H sub(E) and E were compared. The assessments were theoretical and used Monte Carlo transport methods and an anthropomorphic phantom to calculate H sub(E), E, and H sub(P)(10). The results showed that all of the recommended methods, using either one or more dosimeters, were applicable to this situation but that most gave good results only within limited photon energy ranges, outside of which they either considerably over- or under-estimated the doses. Some provided good estimates over the entire energy range considered.

Two Syrian bread wheat cultivais (Bohuth 6 and Cham 6) and one promising mutant line (L92-6) were used in this study. Six treatments were evaluated: untreated (without K application), 3 and 5 g/L foliar K application, 60 kg/ha soil K application, 3 g/L foliar K + 60 kg/ha soil K application and 5 g/L foliar K + 60 kg/ha soil K application. Plants were sprayed with 2 L/m super(2) K sub(2)SO sub(4) solution three times at 5-day intervals stalling at growth stage (GS) 32, and thereafter inoculated with a mixture of 15 virulent isolates of Septoria tritici at GS 33-34. The results showed that the average response to application of potassium fertilisers was positively correlated (r=0.94) with the susceptibility level of cultivais compared with the control. The level of infection for all potassium treatments was reduced by 48%, 28% and about 0% in 1998 and by 47%, 35% and 21 % in 1999 for Bohuth 6, L92-6 and Cham 6, respectively. Mean increments for grain yield ranged from 34-120% in 1998, and 80-170% in 1999 for the 5 g/L foliar K + 60 kg/ha soil K application. This combined treatment appealed to be more effective on calcareous soils, which aie typical of Mediterranean environments.

AN - 72748161; 12472153 AB - The distribution and fate of 14C-chlorpyrifos were investigated in microcosms simulating the conditions of the tropical estuarine environment of North Vietnam. The microcosms containing brackish water, sediment, clams (Meretrix meretrix) and green algae (Gracilaria verucosa) from the Red River estuary, were maintained for 30 days. The results show that chlorpyrifos released into the water was rapidly adsorbed onto sediment. However, only 1-2% of the initial amount of 14C-chlorpyrifos could be detected in the sediment by the end of the experiment. The accumulation of chlorpyrifos in fauna and flora attained, respectively, a maximum of 5.8% and 2.2% of the initial activity observed at days 3 and 2 after application. The compound 3,4,5-trichloro-2pyridinol (TCP) was the major transformation product of chlorpyrifos found in the microcosm. TCP accumulated in the clam's soft tissues, and, 3 days after application, reached a maximum of 0.5% of the total 14C-activity. The balance of the 14C-activity at the end of the experiment suggests that the main loss of the insecticide from the system was through volatilisation of chlorpyrifos and escape to the atmosphere. The persistence half-time of the compound in the aquatic microcosms was computed at 5 days.

The method begins with a probabilistic hazard assessment to determine a reference peak ground acceleration (PGA) at a near site, rather than using a reference earthquake of a given magnitude. The reference PGA then serves as a basis for a probabilistic assessment of PGA at more distant sites. The ideas are illustrated by studying seismic hazard for Northern Israel from earthquake on the northern section of the Dead Sea Rift (DSR). The reference PGA at a site 10 km from the DSR taken to be 0.3 g, which has a return period estimated to be 320 years. Given an event with PGA of 0.3 g at 10 km, the subsequent analysis for distant sites shows that there is less than a 31% probability of PGA above 0.1 g at 30 km and an 8% probability that the PGA at 50 km will exceed 0.3 g.

LUCIE UNITS 1 AND 2, HUTCHINSON ISLAND, ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA. (ELEVENTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 16364097; 9661 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses St. Lucie Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2, located in St. Lucie County, Florida for an additional 20 years is proposed in this 11th supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Florida Power and Light Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. A total of 23 issues that apply to the units are addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is March 1, 2016, for Unit 1 and April 6, 2023, for Unit 2. The power station is located on a 1,130-acre site on the widest section of Hutchinson Island in an area previously degraded by mosquito control projects. The plant has two General Electric pressurized light-water reactors, each with a design rating for a net power output of 1,678 megawatts of electric power. Plant cooling is provided by extraction of water from the Atlantic Ocean via three offshore intake structures, which pump the water into an intake canal. Heated water is sent back to the ocean through offshore diffusers. The units employ liquid, gaseous, and solid water processing systems to collect and treat radioactive materials produced as a by-product of operations. Power is delivered to the regional power grid via three 230-kilovolt transmission lines, located within a single right-of-way extending 11 miles to the Midway substation POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant units would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdrawal million gallons of process water from the Atlantic Ocean via the intake structures and deliver makeup water back to the ocean. Release of water to the ocean from the once-through systems would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the nearshore area. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's risk-informed and performance-based approach AN - 51977309; 2003-046091 AB - The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) plans to apply for a license to construct a repository for high-level radioactive waste that will likely be subjected to seismotectonic hazards including earthquake ground motions, fault displacements, tilting and fracturing. The DOE license application must consider such hazards and demonstrate that, among other considerations, they pose no undue risk to public health and safety for a performance period of 10,000 years. NRC regulations pertaining to a Yucca Mountain (YM) repository use a risk-informed and performance-based strategy (i.e., they focus on system performance) to adequately protect the public and the environment. DOE must identify features, events, and processes that could affect repository performance (e.g., a seismic hazard scenario might include an earthquake that could cause rockfalls that damage waste containers in drifts and thereby potentially increase dose). For screening purposes, DOE may estimate the likelihood of such events or groups of events. If the likelihood of the event or scenario is less than 1 in 10,000 per year over 10,000 years, then the event or scenario can be excluded from assessments of performance (10 CFR 63.102(j),114(d)). For the remaining hazards, DOE would need to demonstrate either that: the hazard can be excluded because there is negligible dose contribution; or, its contribution to dose in combination with doses from all other remaining hazards would not exceed the required limit on expected annual dose to an individual. Also, this demonstration of acceptable repository performance must include a systematic evaluation of uncertainty, alternative models (e.g., tectonic), testing of key assumptions, and supporting technical bases for the hazards (e.g., earthquake).

Nuclear Regulatory Commission's regulations for long-term safety of geologic disposal of high-level radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain, Nevada AN - 51863667; 2004-029800 AB - On November 2, 2001, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued its final regulations for a potential geologic repository at Yucca Mountain. The NRC regulations establish criteria to evaluate the safety of a potential repository that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) plans to build, operate, and close at Yucca Mountain. Estimation of long-term behavior of the repository will be uncertain because of the first-of-a-kind nature of a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain, the inherent complexity and variability of any geologic formation, and the long regulatory period. Confidence in the long-term safety of the repository is supported by criteria that call for: a comprehensive evaluation of overall repository performance, the repository to be comprised of multiple barriers (both natural and engineered), and testing to confirm the performance of the repository and its barriers. A comprehensive evaluation of performance requires identification of the features, events and processes (FEPs) that could affect repository performance; consideration of the uncertainty in parameters and models used to represent the FEPs; and evaluation of the complex interactions between the engineered barriers and the geology, hydrology and chemistry of the natural system. The understanding of repository performance, including consideration of uncertainties, must be supported by a wide variety of data and testing; such as information obtained from laboratory tests, field investigations, and natural analog studies. If NRC grants a license to DOE, the regulations require DOE to continue testing and evaluation of the adequacy of the assumptions, data, and analyses that permitted the construction of the repository and subsequent emplacement of waste. This required "performance confirmation" program would include in situ monitoring, and laboratory and field testing. Thus, NRC's licensing decision will be based on a comprehensive understanding of the overall behavior of the repository and its barriers that is supported by scientific information and data, and confirmed by an ongoing monitoring and evaluation process.

Underground tunnels and alcoves in this tuff that have been sealed from ventilation provide potentially useful data on natural moisture conditions and can help address the question of whether significant amounts of percolating groundwater drip into tunnels under present-day conditions. Given the low infiltration rates in the region (Flint et al., 2001; Zhu et al., 2002), natural seepage and dripping in the sealed tunnels would provide evidence of focused flow within fracture networks that could be used to help calibrate seepage models for present-day conditions. These observations can then be used to estimate seepage fluxes during future, wetter climates. In 1999 the Department of Energy (DOE) sealed a nearly 1-km long tunnel bored near the proposed repository area. Four bulkheads isolate four sections of this tunnel, commonly called the Cross Drift, to allow a return to natural, ambient moisture conditions. Alcove 7, which crosses the Ghost Dance Fault, is a niche that has also been sealed with a bulkhead. Observations made in the sealed tunnels during unventilated entries help to ensure that moisture observations will be little affected by the rapid drying effects of ventilation. Extensive evidence of humid conditions has been seen during such unventilated entries, including small puddles apparently produced by condensation dripping. DOE is attempting to systematically collect drips in sample bottles and on plastic sheets so that chemical analyses can be used to identify sources of the water (i.e., natural seepage, condensation, or a mixture). To date two locations of suspected natural seepage have been observed: one in Alcove 7 and the other in a sealed section of the Cross Drift. Both of these drip zones occur outside the proposed repository footprint. DOE is continuing work in the sealed tunnels to address agreements with NRC. Hydrologic data and observations from the sealed tunnels provide a reference point for DOE's performance assessments of deep percolation and seepage. The NRC staff believes that long-term empirical observations in sealed tunnels could be an element of a performance confirmation plan for Yucca Mountain.

Simple (VES) and combined (CVES) Schlumberger vertical electrical soundings and geo-electrical profiling using a Wenner configuration were applied to the Teshreen structure. Six profiles (A, B, C, D, E, and F) at the borders of anticlines, where positive and negative structures are joined and salt formations have a tendency to disappear, were studied. Secondary structures, characterized by high apparent resistivity exceeding 3000 Ohm.m were located on each profile using a Wenner profiling configuration. These secondary structures are demonstrated to be favorable for sulfur prospecting by both drilled wells and vertical electrical soundings. Traditional interpretation of the 84 VES measurements is supported by data from 14 CVES measurments. The CVES technique is a powerful tool, due to its improved resolution of the electrical boundaries. Thicknesses and resistivities of the Lower Al-Fares, Al-Garibeh, and Al-Dibbaneh formations were determined through the interpretation of VES measurements. The same VES measurements were then interpreted using the Pichgin method, whereby all the subsurface tectonic features were determined for depth penetration corresponding to AB/2 = 1000 m. The integration of the first and second VES phases creates a clear picture of the subsurface, including tectonic, geometric, and geo-electrical information. In summary, the sulfur occurrences in the research area are controlled by tectonic paths that are well defined by geo-electrical methods. These diverse geo-electrical methods could be used successfully for sulfur prospecting in similar environments.

The interpretation of the gamma ray measurements, using numerical methods of analysis developed previously and applied successfully in some phosphatic areas in Syria, make it possible to define precisely the phosphate thickness from place to place in the study area. This technique has been successfully applied while studying seven boreholes in the area. Sixty-three core samples from phosphatic layers in the boreholes have been analyzed, using gamma ray spectrometry for the determination of P (sub 2) O (sub 5) , U, Th, and K. Good correlation between P (sub 2) O (sub 5) content and U concentration has been found. The total count gamma logs correlate reasonably well with the U core analysis, suggesting that radioactive equilibrium exists in the U decay series. These gamma logs can be therefore used effectively to quantitatively map the distribution of P (sub 2) O (sub 5) and U. The characteristics of both subsurface phosphatic sand and phosphatic rocks have been investigated and outlined using a statistical approach. The affinity of uranium to some trace elements such as V, Sr, Cu, and Ni has been verified using correlation matrices of these elements.

Results indicate that heavy minerals are generally derived from outcropping volcanic rocks that comprise a proportion of the hinterland in the south part of our survey area. The most abundant minerals are magnetite and pyroxene. The morphologies of the heavy mineral grains are angular to subangular, suggesting that they were transported short distances from the source rocks. Factors controlling heavy mineral distributions include wave and wind action, proximity to provenance, the fluvial drainage network, and longshore currents. The most economically important mineral is ilmenite. Zircon and rutile concentrations are relatively minor and thus have lower economic potential.

Various transport models, submitted in license amendment requests to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, rely on the chemical, isotopic, and hydrologic characteristics of the site. Generally, these license amendment requests propose and justify application of alternative concentration limits of contaminants in groundwater at the point of compliance (POC), which can be a well or wells, located just downstream of the mill tailings pile, monitored for evidence of contaminant leakage from the tailings to the uppermost aquifer. Fate and transport models have used generic (literature-derived), or site-specific sorption coefficients to estimate retardation of contaminants that migrate from the tailings toward the point of exposure (POE) in the one-thousand year period of compliance. The POE is the location where water, depending on its quality, can be used for drinking (human consumption), livestock, or agriculture. Alternatively, process-level models use groundwater compositions from monitored wells, and mineralogic information to assign initial chemical conditions along the expected path of contaminant migration. Then, simulations of contaminant transport can be performed that include speciation, precipitation/dissolution, and sorption/desorption. Contaminant concentration versus time and distance are produced. This study compares the results of modeling contaminant transport from a mill tailings site using a process-level approach versus a fate and transport approach. The effect of the choice of the modeling approach on risk is addressed. Alternative selections of monitored site characterization parameters important to performance are considered.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is an independent regulatory agency and has established a regulation for the proposed repository. The regulation uses a risk-informed and performance-based strategy that protects the public and the environment. The regulation requires the use of a performance assessment to judge the safety of the repository for 10,000 years. The DOE has completed performance assessments of the potential repository. The NRC has evaluated the assessments, including the supporting data. Where the NRC judges, based on a risk-informed, performance-based approach, the DOE's approach and technical bases are inadequate, the NRC requires the DOE provide additional information. The DOE needs to use geochemical information in the performance assessment to describe how engineered barriers degrade and to describe radionuclide transport. What information is required to assess adequately the repository performance and how much information is required will vary dependent upon the information's importance to risk. Retardation of radionuclides in the saturated zone at Yucca Mountain is a fundamental part of the DOE's performance assessment. From a risk-informed perspective the NRC staff would focus on those radionuclides that DOE models show contribute to the dose to the reasonably maximally exposed individual within the period of compliance. The NRC staff would also assess whether the DOE had provided a technical basis for retarded radionuclides which did not contribute to dose within 10,000 years. Those geochemical species that are important to degradation of engineered barriers are also the focus of the NRC's risk-informed geochemical review of DOE's performance assessment. However, the NRC's review of the DOE's treatment of geochemical information is focused on whether degradation of the engineered barriers contributes to the dose to the reasonably maximally exposed individual within the period of compliance. Examples of calculations that use risk information to constrain what geochemical information is needed from the DOE will be discussed.

From a cost-benefit perspective, there exists an optimal amount of data that is required for these tasks. While little data can lead to inapproriate actions and poor decisions, excessive data collection can lead to increased project cost with minimal benefit. Geographic information systems (GISs) provide a tool for categorizing and organizing spatio-temporal data at sites. Visualization of this data within a well organized GIS provides an important approach to assessing data sufficiency through visual examinations of the spatial and temporal distributions of the data at the scales of the processes active at the site; the hazards present at the site; and vulnerable regions, ecologies, and communities that may be affected by the site. Through spatio-temporal data processing, visualization, and comparison within a GIS framework, important data gaps and uncertainties may be identified. This work presents a GIS/three-dimensional visualization and modeling system that is consistent with U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Council for Environmental Equality regulations for preparing EISs that are consistent with the guidance outlined in the National Environmental Policy Act. The GIS/three-dimensional visualization and modeling system incorporates a wide range of spatio-temporal data; supports data visualization, processing and integration; is applicable to regulatory decision-making; and is portable.

The same effect on the growth of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), which was also utilized as a reference crop for measuring N2-fixation by the legume crop using the [15N]isotope dilution method, was also investigated. Irrigation with water having ECw of more than 4.03 dS/m reduced plant growth, and the reduction was more pronounced in S. aculeata than in H. annuus. High levels of water salinity caused more inhibition in shoot than in root growth of both plant species. The indigenous rhizobial strains could form nodules on S. aculeata grown under different salinity levels of irrigated water, except for those irrigated with high level of ground water salinity (ECw 33 dS/m) where nodulation and N2 fixation were completely inhibited. However, %N2 fixation was significantly enhanced by a moderate salinity level (ECw of 4.03 dS/m) in irrigated water, whereas small effects were obtained with higher water salinity levels (up to 12.3 dS/m). The results indicated that S. aculeata and H. annuus grown in saline soils can be irrigated either with saline water up to 8.03 dS/m and 12.3 dS/m, respectively, or with gradually increased levels of salinity for both of them.

Most of cables are considered to maintain the electric functional capabilities after passage of 60 years operation if the design basis event (DBE) should occure. According to IEEE Std. 323 and 383, cables for testing are subjected to accelerated aging and then exposed to the DBE environment to evaluate the integrity of cables. According to the recent findings, however, synergism and ordering of aging modes should be considered for accelerated aging method for cables in order to simulate more precisely the actual cable aging. Based on the problems of the present evaluation of the aging of cables, a study plan has been established, which consists of a thermal aging test to evaluate the activation energy of various cables used for Japanese nuclear power plants and a simultaneous aging test with thermal and radiation to establish a new aging evaluation method. Under these circumstances, METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) has entrusted JAPEIC with the project, "Assessment of Cable Aging for Nuclear Power Plant" from 2002 fiscal year. It plans to conduct these tests in the future, thereby establishing a highly reliable aging evaluation method for cables based on the results of these tests. JF - WIRE SYSTEM AGING.

We show that the broad band impedance is sensitive to changes in the physical and chemical state of typical aircraft wiring. For example, we measured the impedance response of three different types of wiring to exposure to Skydrol, at selected temperatures as well as to air of controlled humidity and temperature. We present a phenomenological procedure that can be used to extract the wire's electrical parameters: resistance, inductance and dielectric function. These wire properties are important because they all depend on the frequency and therefore determine the wire's impedance spectrum. We find that the dielectric function is very sensitive to changes in the chemical and physical state of the wiring insulation, especially the imaginary component that increases by two to three orders of magnitude after the wire is exposed to the envirnomen. As a result of exposure the wiring insulation is far more lossy than before it was exposed. This implies that the wiring is more probable to fail when it is powered up. We present wire models, both undamaged and after exposure to different environments. These models are based on a lossy, distributed transmission line and use a phenomenological representation of the wire's insulation dielectric function, epsilon ( omega ). Calculations of the model's broad band impedance spectra are compared with measured spectra of selected cables. Furthermore, this model can be uses to simulate other changes in the wiring, for example degradation of a small segment of the wire. In this way we show that the broad band impedance can be used to determine the amount of the wiring that has been degraded and the location of the damage before failure by a short.

Two methods that offer considerable promise are the modulus profiler and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) relaxation times. A modulus profiler measures the indentation of a small tip into the surface of a polymer sample. The degree of indentation at a constant load can be related to the modulus of the material. NMR relaxation times of a polymer are a measure of the molecular dynamics of the backbone chain. When a polymer is swollen in a suitable solvent, the relaxation time responds to the degree of crosslinking. The experiment requires only minutes to complete and has been performed on samples as small as 0.1 mg. The response of NMR relaxation times to aging is comparable to that of classical mechanical measurements. Examples of both techniques applied to various commercial cable jacket formulations will be presented and compared to classical measurements. JF - WIRE SYSTEM AGING.

As the physical and chemical properties of the wire system deteriorate due to the environment similar degradation takes place in the electrical properties. Detailed examination of the chemical and physical degradation phenomenon has been well documented by various contributors to the technical journals and conference authors. However, the equivalent electrical degradation properties have not been documented or tied to electrical system performance. This paper will attempt to do so by relating the systems performance and systems electrical properties to the operational environment, human interaction, design and application.

The key feature of this diagnosis is the use of light sources of two wavelengths to measure the change in reflective absorbance ( Delta A sub(R)) between the two wavelengths. Then, chemical kinetics is used to predict the lifetimes of the cable insulations. When cable insulations darken with age, the Delta A sub(R) increases. This means that the cross-linking density in the cable insulations increases due to deterioration reaction, so that conjugation in the insulation expands, and the electronic transition absorption (equivalent to reflective absorbance A sub(R) increases. When the crdss-linking density of an insulation increases, its elasticity corresponding to the material's life increases. The elongation property of insulation is one of the most important parameters which can be used to evaluate material lifetimes, because it relates to elasticity. The A sub(R) correlated with the elongation property, and the correlation coefficient of an accelerated experiment using model pieces was over 0.8. Thus, we concluded that this optical diagnosis could be applied to evaluate the degradation of cable insulations used in nuclear power plants. JF - WIRE SYSTEM AGING.

Many of our studies involve situations where oxidation dominates degradation and this paper will review several approaches developed to address such instances. We will first describe a data analysis approach based on time-temperature superposition principles that utilizes every data point generated during accelerated tests instead of a truncated set. We will then describe an ultrasensitive oxygen consumption technique that allows data to be taken under much lower temperature aging conditions that correspond to the "extrapolation range" of conventional laboratory aging experiments. This allows much more confidence in extrapolated lifetime predictions. Finally, we will briefly describe an approach for predicting residual material lifetimes that we refer to as the Wear-out approach. JF - WIRE SYSTEM AGING.

Both the nuclear and aircraft industries have an immediate need for an acceptable electrical insulation monitoring technique. Ideally, this technique would be non-destructive and capable of predicting the remaining life of installed insulation. Many techniques currently exist for electrical and mechanical testing of insulation to confirm the present integrity of the insulation, but none of the current methods are both non-destructive and predictive of acceptable future life. This paper reports on a promising technique for assessing remaining cable insulation life based on microvoid content. The mode for insulation failure differs as a function of the operating voltage regime. At higher voltages, the failures are dominated by partial discharge effects. At lower voltages, the failure mode is related to loss of integrity (breaks or cracks in the insulation material), which could then cause a circuit failure problem in high moisture or high humidity environments. Our research indicates that both failure modes can be shown to be related to microvoid content growth. New (and good) insulation has been found to have voids of 2 to 20 microns in diameter and densities of 100 to 1000 per cubic millimeter. More research is needed to determine growth rates and levels at which the various failure modes occur. This paper will report on techniques available to image or otherwise assess void content and correlate to remaining life. JF - WIRE SYSTEM AGING.

Aging of a wire system, which includes cables, splices, terminations, circuit-breakers, relays, protective devices, and penetrations, can result in loss of critical functions of the equipment energized by the system, or in loss of critical information relevant to the decision making process and operator actions. In either situation, unanticipated or premature aging of a wire system can lead to unavailability of equipment important to safety and compromise public health and safety. While a significant amount of research has been performed related to wire system safety, there are still a number of issues that remain unresolved and should be addressed. This paper presents a preliminary list of those issues in the area of wire system safety. This list represents a good starting point, and it should be updated as new issues are identified. Further, it is proposed that the most effective way to address these issues is through a collaborative research effort in which the expertise and capabilities of various national and international experts can be focused on the resolution of these issues.

These electrical performance failures have run the full spectrum from some of the most sophisticated projects, putting man on the moon and harnessing the atom, to the most basic toaster heating circuits. Great strides have been made in reliability and longevity of the electrical systems. Significant research has been performed to extend the knowledge of how equipment ages. The Nuclear Power industry has been at the forefront of evaluating aging and minimizing the impact of aging on electrical circuits. Even the concept of condition monitoring is not new. We performed condition monitoring evaluations in 1977. CM was further reviewed during the NRC's Nuclear Plant Aging Research of the mid 1980's and extended again in the 90's and now on into the new millennium. Elusive have been the goals that CM had to be simple, inexpensive, easy to perform and totally accurate. The problem is the world and specifically electrical circuits are not perfect and unchanging. We live in a world that involves chance or probability and is changing. These chance occurrencesplay havoc with our models." We have utilized the Arrhenius relationship in addressing aging of nuclear power cable for over 25 years now. Research continues into this of which there are few complaints. JF - WIRE SYSTEM AGING.

During an accident that creates a harsh environment, the cables need to perform reliably to operate the electrical equipment to meet the system's performance requirements. The performance capability of cables during accidents is addressed through environmental qualification of electrical equipment. In this paper, we present a scoping study of the impact of cable failures on the NPP's risk using core damage frequency (CDF) as the risk measure. We assess the impact of cable failures due to the harsh environment using the probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) model of the internal initiators in a plant. However, in the PRA of NPPs, the cable reliability in a harsh environment is typically assumed to remain unaffected. Also, typically, cables are not explicitly modeled in a PRA, and the effect of their failure on hardware and operator's actions is not directly addressed. We use existing PRA models to evaluate the impact of cable failures through the modeled component's and operator's actions. Several assumptions are made. Sensitivity analyses are conducted to assess the impact of failures of cables providing different functions inside the containment. The impact on CDF and the accident sequences that become dominant contributors when cables fail are studied. The relative CDF significance of cables providing different functions is obtained. A pressurized water reactor (PWR) plant, Surry Nuclear Power Station, and a boiling water reactor (BWR) plant, Peach Bottom Station, are studied. JF - WIRE SYSTEM AGING.

Kori unit 1 is the first Korean nuclear power plant that constructed by the Westinghouse and started the commercial operation in 1978. In order to manage cable aging in the plant that have very few EQ documents, the investigation of plant environmental condition and cable composition is essential to predict the residual lifetime of cables. The investigations included the environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and radiation dose rate distribution, the survey of cable design criteria, cable chemical composition, actual voltage, and maintenance histories in the Kori unit 1 nuclear power plant's files. A new approach of condition monitoring using the 3rd harmonics frequency analysis was performed. Thermal accelerated aging at 130 F have been carried out on two groups of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cable models. The condition monitoring test results showed that the magnitudes of the 3rd harmonic component measured on these cables were proportional to the cable aging. JF - WIRE SYSTEM AGING.

There is a need to improve our fundamental understanding of this technological problem. Previous work has confirmed that there are chemical changes in polymers over the long term, but there has been little work done to couple these changes to the microstructure and fracture mechanics of the material. There has been some experimental evidence that voids can form in polymers over the long term. However, even if there is not the formation of a true void, processes leading to the formation of a region of material that is not mechanically well connected with the remainder of the sample are also likely to promote the early onset of failure. This paper explores the potential for applying a known mechanical model for metal failure to cable insulation polymer systems. In polymers, it is possible to envision that long-term degradation behavior, perhaps involving chemical changes such as main chain scission, could lead to regions of material within the structure that are no longer mechanically coupled to the surrounding the matrix. This concept of a "virtual void" would then correspond to a zone of material that remains intact within the polymer matrix, but is not well connected to the rest of the polymer, much like an inclusion in a metal. Under electrical stress and/or mechanical loading, it would be reasonable to conclude that these virtual voids would promote the nucleation and growth of ordinary, detectable voids, much like solid secondary phase inclusions are known to do in metals. A number of studies have shown evidence for void formation in polymers after extended periods of aging. More work is now necessary to evaluate the size, density, and growth rate of these voids. We believe that a variety of complementary methods to detect void formation in polymers need to be pursued more aggressively. Additionally, studies of mechanical embrittlement as a function of time, temperature, and exposure to radiation need to be conducted and compared with microstructural investigations.

A number of commercial aircraft incidents have been linked to electrical system faults. The space shuttle, which itself is an aging aerospace vehicle, has likewise experienced launch delays and in-flight failures due to wire related problems. In aerospace vehicles wire related problems have been known to cause anomalous signals, loss of signal, system shutdown, smoke, fire and catastrophic failure. Modern civilian and military aircraft contain hundreds of miles of wire. For example each orbiter contains approximately 161 miles ol permanent wiring. Therefore, the diagnosis, location and repair of wiring faults is a time consuming and expensive task. This paper will discuss wire insulation characterization methods under development at NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC). These methods are aimed at nondestructively assessing degradation of wire insulation to provide useful tools to detect insulation flaws and help predict remaining wire life. Lock-in thermography, ultrasonics, and chemical sensing of combustion by-products are all being investigated as potential techniques for the characterization of various wire insulation types. An overview of each of these technologies and a discussion of their usefulness and limitations will be presented. JF - WIRE SYSTEM AGING.

In this paper, the core damage frequency is used as a surrogate for risk. The method incorporates reliability physics models to estimate the probability of cable failure. The first step is a screening step, so that the more elaborate estimates of cable failure probability are based on the most risk important cables. Then the reliability physics models are used, and finally the results for the cable failure probabilities are input into the fault tree and event tree models, and the effect on the core damage frequency obtained.

Our current research efforts are pursuing a non-destructive, in situ approach for determining remaining life of wire insulation through detection of real time age-dependent microvoid characteristics and comparison to end of life void parameters. In many cases, a critical cable may be inaccessible because of location within conduits, in concrete, or underground thus making detection of microvoids impractical. We will report on our efforts to use capacitance as a means of determining nominal microvoid content within the structure of the polyolefin based insulation systems. Our work in this area was prompted by Chang-Uao et al (2000) who reported on an age dependent relationship for the capacitance of EPR insulated wire. In this paper, we will summarize three ways in which microvoid content within the insulation separating two conductors can theoretically affect the measured capacitance. The first the potential change in the insulation medium's effective permittivity (or dielectric constant) caused by the additional un-ionized microvoids within the polymer matrix. The second is a virtual decrease in the distance between the conductors caused by any ionization effects. And the third relates to ionization effects within the voids affecting the amount of energy stored in the electric field between the conductors. Our preliminary results demonstrate that, of the three effects investigated, microvoid growth only significantly affects the energy stored within the electric field between the wires. Thus it is theoretically possible that properly measured capacitance can be correlated to microvoid content and thus to a determination of acceptable or unacceptable remaining life. Although usable for all installed electric cables and wiring, this technique would have greater value in applications involving inaccessible systems. JF - WIRE SYSTEM AGING.

Most of the cables in currently operating power plants have jackets that harden or change color when degraded such that aging can be identified by using visual/tactile assessment techniques. If a large number of cables are identified by visual/tactile means as having aged significantly, more sophisticated techniques can be employed to precisely determine the degree of aging to allow replacement schedules to be developed and, thereby, reduce the impact of replacement activities.

The reason for this non-classical approach of correction is because the groundwater in this karstified and Nummulitic carbonate aquifer occurs under confined and partly confined conditions, and is located in an area very close to deep faults and fractures. Furthermore, the interconnection with the Upper Cretaceous formations, which commonly contain gypsum and hydrocarbons, can facilitate the processes of sulphate reduction and geogenic CO sub(2) incorporation, which should not be excluded. The dilution factor related to carbonate dissolution was estimated to be about 0.60-0.75. The dilution factor associated with sulphate reduction, which only depends on H sub(2)S content, was rather low (about 0.95). However, as a result of the local tectonic setting in this area, the influence of geogenic CO sub(2) incorporation was clearly high. The dilution factor associated with this effect ranges between 0.24-0.64. Consequently, the corrected super(14)C ages are considerably reduced compared with those determined by classical models. Accordingly, the groundwater in the study area can be divided into three main groups: (1) fresh, shallow and cold water of less than 1ka age; (2) brackish, deep and thermal water of rather old age (10.9-12.3ka B.P.); and (3) an admixed groundwater of intermediate quality and age (1.9-6.7ka B.P.).Original Abstract: L'eau du systeme aquifere du Paleogene du nord-est de la Syrie a ete etudiee au moyen des methodes chimiques et isotopiques afin de determiner les effets de la dissolution des carbonates, de la reduction des sulfates et de l'introduction de CO sub(2) d'origine geologique responsable de la dilution du super(14)C, pour corriger ensuite les ages super(14)C conventionnels des eaux. La raison de cette approche de correction, qui n'est pas classique, est due au fait que l'aquifere carbonate karstifie du Nummulitique est captif ou partiellement captif, et qu'il est situe dans une region tres proche de failles et de fractures profondes. En outre, la connexion avec les formations du Cretace superieur, qui contient habituellement du gypse et des hydrocarbures, peut faciliter les processus de reduction des sulfates et l'introduction de CO sub(2) geologique, qui ne peut pas etre exclue. Le facteur de dilution lie a la dissolution des carbonates a ete estime a environ 0,60-0,75. Le facteur de dilution associe a la reduction des sulfates, qui depend uniquement de la concentration en H sub(2)S, est plutot faible (autour de 0,95). Cependant, du fait de la situation tectonique locale, l'influence d'une introduction de CO sub(2) geologique est manifestement forte. Le facteur de dilution associe a cet effet est compris entre 0,24-0,64. par consequent, les ages super(14)C corriges sont considerablement reduits par rapport a ceux determines par les modeles classiques. Par suite, les eaux souterraines de la region etudiee peuvent etre reparties en trois groupes : (1) l'eau douce, peu profonde et froide, dont l'age est inferieur a 1ka, (2) l'eau saumatre, profonde et chaude, plutot ancienne (entre 10,9-12,3ka B.P.), et (3) un melange d'eaux souterraines de qualite et d'ages intermediaires (entre 1,9-6,7ka B.P.).

5421509 AB - Sediment accumulation rates as well as the distribution of selected elements in a dried Syrian lake (Al-Oteibeh Lake), near Damascus City, are reported. Five core samples from different locations of the lake were collected, and four major elements (Fe, K, Mg and Na) and six trace metals (Co, Ni, Cr, Pb, Zn, U and Cu) were analyzed. Sedimentation rates were determined applying the super(210)Pb dating method and found to vary between 0.100 and 0.793 cm year super(-1). The results showed that the constant flux constant sedimentation rate (CF: CS) simple dating model is applicable for dating recent dried sediment and recording the past historical pollution of the last 100 years. However, the method was found to be only applicable for dating trace and major elements, which cannot be leached to deeper layers by rainwater. In addition, the obtained records can be used to verify the date of water level declining.

AN - 72820326; 12530598 AB - The introduction of uranium particles into subcutaneous tissue is a risk that affects workers engaged in the extraction, purification, and manufacture of uranium, as well as soldiers who are wounded with uranium shrapnel. The authors evaluated the effect of an internal source of an insoluble form of uranium on bone. Uranium dioxide powder (0.125 gm/kg body weight) was implanted subcutaneously in rats. After 30 days, animals exposed to uranium weighed less than controls. Bone formation activity in endochondral ossification and bone growth were also lower in the experimental animals, as evidenced by histomorphometric and morphometric methods. This is the first study to report bone damage resulting from continuous, nonlethal exposure to an insoluble compound of uranium dioxide over a period of 30 days.

AN - 36411696; 9384 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses of Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, for an additional 20 years is proposed in this tenth supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (formerly Philadelphia Electric Company), nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. A total of 23 issues that apply to the units is addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is August 8, 2013, for Unit 2 and July 2, 2014, for Unit 3. The power station is located on a 620-acre site in southern Pennsylvania on the banks of the Susquehanna River, approximately 19 miles south of Lancaster. The site includes an exclusion area with a radius of 0.51 mile around the plant. The plant has two General Electric light-water reactors, each with a design rating for a new power output of 1,093 megawatts electric. Plant cooling is provided by an once-through heat dissipation system that dissipates heat to the environment. Units 2 and 3 produce electricity to supply the needs of approximately 35 percent of Exelon's 1.5 million business and residential customers in its mid-Atlantic service areas. The units employ liquid, gaseous, and solid water processing systems to collect and treat radioactive materials produced as a by-product of operations. Power is delivered to the regional power grid via one 500-kilovolt transmission line extending 34 miles from the Peachbottom south substation eastward through Maryland and Delaware to the Keeney substation in northwestern Delaware. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant unit would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw 1.5 million gallons of process water from the Susquehanna River via the Conowingo Pond and deliver makeup water to the pond. Release of water to the lake from the once-through systems would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the waterbody. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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).

Optimal growth occurred at pH 5.6 on a medium containing 39/gl potato dextrose agar, 40/gl shredded fresh barley leaves, 20/gl sucrose, 13/mgl kanamycin and 80/mgl benzimidazole. At 20 degree C (90% relative humidity), conidia germinated 48 h after inoculation, producing an average colony diameter of 1 cm after 10 days. However, numerous colonies were present on the medium after 15 days. Light microscopy showed that there was a positive relationship between the amount of leaf in the medium and fungus growth. The fungus retained its virulence during 60 days of storage in vitro, and was able to infect barley. This is a useful and novel technique that could be beneficial in barley pathology breeding programs.

AN - 36419382; 9320 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, for an additional 20 years is proposed in this eighth supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, Duke Energy Corporation, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. A total of 23 issues that apply to ANO-1 is addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the licenses are renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating licenses are not renewed, the units 1 and 2 would be shut down on or before expiration dates of the current licenses, which are June 12, 2021, and March 3, 2023, respectively. The units are located on a 577-acre site in southwestern North Carolina. An exclusion area with a radius of 0.47 mile and which covers 450.5 acres surrounds the site. The Catawba Riverand to the north by Lake Norman bound the McGuire site to the west. Each unit under consideration is a pressurized light-water reactor with four steam generators. Each unit is designed to operate at core power levels of up to 3,411 megawatts thermal, with a corresponding net electrical output of 1,129 megawatts. The units use water from Lake Norman for main condenser cooling and process water. McGuire uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems; nonradioactive wastes are disposed of in an onsite landfill or in one of several offsite landfills operated by the county. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant units would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The McGuire site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to remove water from Lake Norman and return makeup water to the lake. The Release of water to the lake from the once-through system, results in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The units would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Refusal to renew the licenses and subsequent decommissioning of the units could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. 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 - 36411062; 9314 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for the Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, located in York County, South Carolina for an additional 20 years is proposed in this ninth supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant (Duke Energy Corporation) nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the Edwin I units in this draft supplement. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power and other matters within the state's jurisdiction or the purview of the owners. In addition to the No Action Alternative, alternatives to license renewal addressed in this supplement include coal-fired generation, gas-fired generation, imported electrical power, and other, less traditional means of power generation. If the operating license is not renewed, the units 1 and 2 would be shut down on or before the expiration dates of the current licenses, which are December 6, 2024 and February 24, 2026, respectively. The site lies on 391 acres of land in rural north-central South Carolina. Catawba consists of two pressurized light-water reactors with four reactor coolant loops, each of which contains a steam generator. Each unit is designed to operate at core power levels of up to 3,411 megawatts-thermal, with a corresponding net electrical output of approximately 1,129 megawatts of electrical power. Catawba uses water from Lake Wylie for cooling and processing water. The power station uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems. Power generated by the station's units are delivered to the regional power grid by five 230-kV transmission lines, with rights-of-way covering a total of 730 acres. The rights-of-way extend out from Catawba to the north, south, and west. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the units would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of units would continue to remove 102 million gallons per day (mgd) of water from Lake Wylie and return 60.7 mgd of makeup water to the lake. Release of water to the river from the cooling system results in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

If the operating license is not renewed, North Anna, Units 1 and 2, would be shut down on or before the expiration dates of the current licenses, which are April 1, 2018 and June August 21, 2020, respectively. Each unit, which is rated for a net electrical output of 2,775 MW-thermal, consists of three-coolant-loop pressurized light-water reactor nuclear steam supply and steam-driven turbine generator designed and manufactured by Westinghouse. Makeup water for the once-through cooling systems is withdrawn from Lake Anna, a 9,600-acre reservoir created in 1971 by erecting a dam on the main stem of the North Anna River. The reservoir also provides recreational opportunities and flood control benefits. The power station uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems. Three 500-kilovolt transmission lines and one 230-kilovolt transmission line, each of which occupies a separate right-of-way ranging from 15 to 41 miles in length, connect the station to the regional power grid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the units would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species as well as providing recreational and flood control benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of units would continue to remove significant quantities of water from the North Anna Reservoir and return makeup water to the impoundment. Release of water to the impoundment from the cooling system results in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere.

There is a widespread belief that safety culture is an important contributor to safety of operations. Empirical evidence that safety culture and other management and organizational factors influence operational safety is more readily available for the chemical process industry than for nuclear power plant operations. The commonly accepted attributes of safety culture include good organizational communications, good organizational learning, and senior management commitment to safety. Safety culture may be particularly important in reducing latent errors in complex, well-defended systems. The role of regulatory bodies in fostering strong safety cultures remains unclear, and additional work is required to define the essential attributes of safety culture and to identify reliable performance indicators.

AN - 36412465; 9268 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Surry Power Station, units 1 and 2 in Surry County, Virginia for an additional 20 years is proposed in this third 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. The applicant, Virginia Electric and Power Company, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. A total of 23 issues that apply to the units is addressed in this draft supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the ANO-1 in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, the units would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is May 25, 2012 for Unit 1 and January 29, 2013 for Unit 2. The power station is located on an 840-acre site on the Gravel Neck Peninsula on the south side of the James River, approximately 25 miles upstream of the point where the river enters the Chesapeake Bay. The site includes an exclusion area with a radius. Each unit consists of a pressurized light-water reactor and three steam-driven turbine generators manufactured by Westinghouse. Each unit was designed for an output of 2,441 megawatts-thermal, with a corresponding gross electrical output of 822.6 megawatts-electric. Units 1 and 2 went into commercial operation in December 1972 and May 1973, respectively. In 1995, both units were up-rated to a core power output of 2,546 megawatts-thermal, with a calculated gross output of 855.4 megawatts-electric. Average net capacity of 1,602 megawatts-electric for the plant. The units' condensers utilize once-through cooling systems that withdraw brackish water from the James River estuary, pump water through unit condensers, and return heated water to the estuary at a point approximately six miles upriver from the withdrawal point. The units employ liquid, gaseous, and solid water processing systems to collect and treat radioactive materials produced as a by-product of operations. Power is delivered to the regional power grid via nine transmission lines running with two corridors, extending a total of 170 miles, requiring approximately 5,000 acres of rights-of-way. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant unit would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to remove water from the James River and, via 10 wells, from the Potomac aquifer, and deliver makeup water to the James River. Release of water to the river from the once-through systems would continue to result in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the estuary. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Refusal to renew the license and subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

[anamorph, Bipolaris sorokiniana (Sacc. in Sorok.)] that cause common root rot (CRR) symptoms on barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) were collected in 1998 and 1999 from fields in different regions of Syria. Their virulence spectra were determined using 11 barley cultivars. Cultivars exhibited a continuous range of response from very susceptible to moderately resistant but none was immune from the disease. A cluster analysis indicated that the isolates exhibited distinct differential virulence patterns with three groups. Mean disease rating of 4.37 was the separation point between avirulent and virulent reactions. Isolate CRR16 had the highest mean virulence with lowest variance across all cultivars; and thus it was proposed to be considered as a physiological race. To incorporate adequate levels of resistance into future barley cultivars, disease evaluations should be made with Cochliobolus sativus isolates that express the full spectrum of virulence found in Syria.

Should we worry? AN - 71793982; 12052638 AB - The estimation of the risk associated with dietary intakes of heavy metals and pesticide residues by the consumer is a vital and integral part of regulatory processes. The exposure of the consumer is compared directly to the acceptable daily intake (ADI) for pesticides and to the tolerable daily intake (TDI) for heavy metals. The exposure is obtained using the basic equation: Exposure (mg/kg b.w./day)=Consumption (mg/kg b.w./day) x Residue (mg/kg). The establishment of the ADI and the TDI is based on the results of toxicological studies that involve the determination of the lowest-no-observed-adverse-effect level/10 (SF1) x10 (SF2), where SF corresponds to 'Safety Factor'. SF1 and SF2 account for interspecies and intraspecies variability, respectively. In order to evaluate the risk for the consumer, that is associated to the presence of heavy metals and pesticides in food, a review of the level of contamination in European countries has been made. The exposure of European consumers to lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury is superior to the TDI. For pesticides, the first step is to compare the detected amount of residues of a specific pesticide to the maximum residue level (MRL) authorized in foodstuffs. If the residue level in food exceeds the MRL, the theoretical maximum daily intakes and the ADI have to be taken into account in order to assess the risk for the consumer.

Measurements were taken at four sites that belong to an Argentinean steel mill and in another site located in its vicinity. The air pollutants were measured during a three-week exploratory sampling. The monitoring sites were selected on the basis of relevant characteristics of the emission sources and the corresponding climatological statistics of the last decade. Suspended particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter of less than 10 mu m (PM sub(10)) and NO sub(2) were continuously measured at only one site, while 1-hr samples of NO sub(2) and 24-hr samples of total SPM and SO sub(2) were collected at the other sites. The registered concentrations show that SPM was the pollutant of major concern. A first estimate about the nature of the contribution of the different sources of particles and NO sub(2) present in the area was obtained through the statistical analysis of measured concentration data coupled with prevalent meteorological variables.

AN - 72649351; 12408494 AB - This study was conducted at the request of authorities in western Darfour State, to address the public concern about the levels of radioactivity in the area of Jebel Mun situated at Sudan-Chad international boundaries. It has been identified as a high background radiation area through aerial geological surveys conducted in late 1970s. The ambient gamma dose in the area was measured with the aid of a hand-held dose rate meter (Mini-Rad, Series 1000) and the surface rock samples were collected and analysed for their radioactivity content using a high-resolution gamma spectrometry equipped with HPGe with relative efficiency of 18%. The activity concentrations of 238U, 232Th and 40K were found to range from 39-253 Bq.kg(-1), 41-527 Bq.kg(-1) and 77-3027 Bq.kg(-1), respectively. From the values of the standard deviation it was concluded that the activity concentration of the considered primordial radionuclides was highly scattered (localised) which in turn indicates non-uniformity in the geological features and/or formations. 238U activity concentration corresponds to equivalent mass concentration of 7.77+/-6.12 ppm (3.19-20.73 ppm), which is of no economic importance. Samples are enriched in thorium relative to uranium as reflected by the Th:U mass ratio which ranges from 3 to 17. The absorbed dose rate in air as estimated from the measured activity concentrations of the primordial radionuclides using the DRCFs (dose rate conversion factors) falls within the range of 70-522 nGy.h(-1) with an average of 221+/-130 nGy.h(-1). It corresponds to an annual effective dose equivalent averaged of 0.27 mSv. The regression analysis has shown that the correlation between calculated and the measured ambient dose rate is marginally significant (r2 = 0.59). The 232Th series is the major producer of the surface radioactivity followed by 40K as they contribute 48% and 32% of the total absorbed dose, respectively.

RESRAD is a multimedia pathway analysis code designed to evaluate radiological exposures resulting from radiological contamination in soil. The dose distribution was obtained by using a set of default parameter distribution/values. Most of the variations in the output dose distribution could be attributed to uncertainty in a small set of input parameters that could be considered as sensitive parameter distributions. The identification of the sensitive parameters is a first step in the prioritization of future research and information gathering. When site-specific parameter distribution/values are available for an actual site, the same process should be used with these site-specific data. Regression analysis used to identify sensitive parameters indicated that the dominant pathways depended on the radionuclide and source configurations. However, two parameter distributions were sensitive for many radionuclides: the external shielding factor when external exposure was the dominant pathway and the plant transfer factor when plant ingestion was the dominant pathway. No single correlation or regression coefficient can be used alone to identify sensitive parameters in all the cases. The coefficients are useful guides, but they have to be used in conjunction with other aids, such as scatter plots, and should undergo further analysis.

The RESRAD code applies to the cleanup of sites (soils) and the RESRAD-BUILD code applies to the cleanup of buildings and structures. This work describes the procedure used to enhance the deterministic RESRAD and RESRAD-BUILD codes for probabilistic dose analysis. A six-step procedure was used in developing default parameter distributions and the probabilistic analysis modules. These six steps include (1) listing and categorizing parameters; (2) ranking parameters; (3) developing parameter distributions; (4) testing parameter distribution for probabilistic analysis; (5) developing probabilistic software modules; and (6) testing probabilistic modules and integrated codes. The procedures used can be applied to the development of other multimedia probabilistic codes. The probabilistic versions of RESRAD and RESRAD-BUILD codes provide tools for studying the uncertainty in dose assessment caused by uncertain input parameters. The parameter distribution data collected in this work can also be applied to other multimedia assessment tasks and multimedia computer codes.

S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission AN - 51834293; 2004-047232 AB - Managing nuclear waste facilities over thousands of years will benefit from linking experience in designing and implementing facility assessments with evolving technologies. The current trend is to move away from overly-conservative, deterministic models towards risk-informed, performance-based models incorporating process knowledge into conceptual/mathematical models, field measurements and parameter distribution ranges. This transition is being accomplished through advances in computer hardware and software, field characterization techniques, and probabilistic modeling approaches. These advances enable development and testing of alternative conceptual models using field and laboratory data. For example, nuclear repository performance assessment software links numerous process-level models including hydrogeologic features, events, and processes. In addition, two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) software improves our ability to organize, visualize, and evaluate data; portray alternative data representations and hydrogeologic models; and assess data needs. These software applications can be used to communicate concepts to affected stakeholders about the modeling process, alternative representations of multi-dimensional features and processes, and proposed engineered systems over a range of temporal and spatial scales. Developing and confirming hydrogeologic conceptual models is a critical aspect in building technical confidence levels and demonstrating safety. A future vision for software applications involves the ability to integrate all risk-significant features, events and processes, combined with alternative engineering designs, to enable construction of fully-coupled models that allow analysis, visualization, and presentation of all aspects of performance. Realizing such a vision requires multi-disciplinary involvement for developing realistic conceptual 2D and 3D hydrogeologic models, analyzing and assessing data needs, quantifying data and model uncertainties, and performance assessment analyses.

G. Khan city is located along the foothills of "Central Sulaiman Fold Belt", southeast of Zinda Pir Anticline which forms the nearest tectonic structure in the area. The Sulaiman and Kirthar Ranges were developed during Palaeocene times in the 4th episode of Himalayan Orogeny forming a huge shear zone (Sulaiman-Kirthar Shear Zone) as a result of the drag effect associated with northwest movement of the Indian plate. This zone is comprised of a number of transform and wrench faults associated with doubly plunging anticlines. The Sulaiman Shear Zone is seismically an active region due to activity along faults such as Kingri, Barkhan and Kohlu that are capable of causing seismicity of 5-7 M. On the basis of present studies a "Peak Ground Acceleration" of <0.15 g has been proposed for D. G. Khan city. The neotectonic survey along talus creep deposits, talus conglomerate and recent to sub-recent alluvial fans was conducted which do not indicate any recent ground movement. The D.G.Khan city can be considered a safe area for construction of large engineering structures.

The main objective of this program was to determine radioactivity base line and to define the biota species (fish, algae, molluscs and others) distributed in the Syrian coast which can be used as biomonitors. Samples of seawater, coastal sediments and marine biota have been collected during 1992 and 1993 from four main locations viz., Lattakia, Tartous, Banise and Jabla. These samples were analyzed for artificial radionuclides such as super(137)Cs, super(90)Sr, Pu isotopes and natural radionuclides such as super(210)Po. Results have shown that Pu isotopes concentrations in all type of samples were in the same range of the Mediterranean region. super(90)Sr concentrations in biota samples were relatively low and the highest activity was observed in Jania species. For future trend monitoring, the following biota species can be selected: Fish: Euthynnus alletteratus and Sardinella sp for radioactivity, Algae: Jania rubens for radioactivity, and Cystoseira for trace metals, Molluscs: Patella caerulea for radioactivity and trace metals. For future monitoring stations, the following sites were selected: I. Tartous, 2. Banise, 3. Lattakia, 4. Ras Shamra, 5. Om Attoiyour. However, a plan has to be established where more surveys are required for measurement of radioactivity and trace metals in mussel species distributed along the Syrian coast. This can be easily performed, where a specialist team is available for sampling (from AECS and HIMR) and well equipped laboratories for radioactivity and trace elements measurements are available in AECS (Gamma spectrometers, Alpha spectrometers, Liquid Scintillation Counter, INAA. ..).

Since the first publication of its crystal structure in 1992, tremendous progress has been made describing the molecular events involved in its toxicity. However, the precise mechanism of translocation is not fully understood yet. The diphtheria toxin contains three structural domains, each carrying a distinct biological function implicated in the intoxication of the cell. The receptor-binding domain mediates the recognition of a specific receptor on the surface of targeted cells. This binding event allows the internalization of the toxin by the cells and its routing towards acidic intracellular compartments. The translocation (or transmembrane) domain, reacting to the low pH, penetrates the membrane and assists the transport of the catalytic domain through this membrane into the cytoplasm. There, the catalytic domain transfers an ADP-ribose from cytosolic NAD to its substrate, the elongation factor 2. This activity blocks the synthesis of cellular proteins, leading to cell death. All three domains of the diphtheria toxin, isolated or combined with other proteins, are now exploited for their biological properties to design new biotechnological tools and new therapeutics.

The outdoor and indoor external effective dose rates and the radiation hazard indices from these soil activities were evaluated. The dose rates were found to be about four times higher than the reported world average value. The concentration of natural radionuclides, derived radium equivalent activities and the representative level indices were also found to be higher. Recommendations on radiological and dosimetric measures have been suggested with an aim of minimising the harmful effects of ionising radiation to the population of the area concerned.

AN - 72373665; 11751376 AB - We have proposed and validated the hamster cheek pouch model of oral cancer for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) studies and shown that boronophenylalanine delivers potentially therapeutic 36.9 +/- 17.5 ppm boron to tumor tissue with tumor:normal tissue and tumor:blood ratios of 2.4:1 and 3.2:1, respectively. Here we report the first evidence of the usefulness of BNCT for the treatment of oral cancer in an experimental model. We assessed the response of hamster cheek pouch tumors, precancerous tissue, and normal oral tissue to boronophenylalanine-mediated BNCT using the thermalized epithermal beam of the RA-6 Reactor at the Bariloche Atomic Center. BNCT leads to complete remission by 15 days posttreatment in 78% of tumors and partial remission in an additional 13% of tumors with virtually no damage to normal tissue.

AN - 72367388; 11751398 AB - Herein we propose and validate the hamster cheek pouch model of oral cancer for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) studies. This model serves to explore new applications of the technique, study the biology and radiobiology of BNCT, and assess the uptake of boron compounds and response of tumor, precancerous tissue, and clinically relevant normal tissues. These issues are central to evaluating and improving the therapeutic gain of BNCT. The success of BNCT is dependent on the absolute amount of boron in the tumor, and the tumor:blood and tumor:normal tissue boron concentration ratios. Within this context, biodistribution studies are pivotal. Tumors were induced in the hamsters with a carcinogenesis protocol that uses dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene and mimics spontaneous tumor development in human oral mucosa. The animals were then used for biodistribution and pharmacokinetic studies of boronophenylalanine (BPA). Blood, tumor, precancerous pouch tissue surrounding tumor, normal pouch tissue, tongue, skin, cheek mucosa, palate mucosa, liver, and spleen, were sampled at 0-12 h after administration of 300 mg BPA/kg. The data reveal selective uptake of BPA by tumor tissue and, to a lesser degree, by precancerous tissue. Mean tumor boron concentration was 36.9 +/- 17.5 ppm at 3.5 h and the mean boron ratios were 2.4:1 for tumor:normal pouch tissue and 3.2:1 for tumor:blood. Higher doses of BPA (600 and 1200 mg BPA/kg) increased tumor uptake. Potentially therapeutic absolute boron concentrations, and tumor:normal tissue and tumor:blood ratios can be achieved in the hamster oral cancer model using BPA as the delivery agent.

(1989) for cylindrical underground openings. They found that the numerical simulation of dripping threshold flux was consistently higher than the analytical solution for rectangular and unstructured grids. The magnitude of this error was proportional to the alpha parameter characterizing capillarity. This error may bias estimates of seepage into drifts for repository performance towards nonconservatism.

Potential of solar, wind and bio-mass resources and their promising applications are analyzed. The annual average long-term solar radiation on a horizontal plane is measured and found to be 5.2 kWh/m super(2) per day. Wind speed measurements were conducted in more than twenty stations spread all over the country. The prospects of these measurements indicate that wind is another promising source of renewable energy in Syria. The registered annual mean daily wind speed in some regions of the country reaches more than 13 m/sec. Theoretical study estimates that the biogas production of the daily wastes of humans, animals and agriculture is higher than 300 million cubic meters per year.

AN - 36397272; 9038 AB - PURPOSE: Actions required for the decommissioning of commercial nuclear facilities are discussed as a part of the requirement for considering changes in regulations governing such actions. The 1988 final EIS on this subject covered activities falling under the concerned regulations would include those involved in decommissioning pressurized water reactors, boiling water reactors, mixed oxide fuel fabrication plants, fuel reprocessing plants, uranium hexafluoride conversion plants, uranium fuel fabrication plants, independent spent fuel storage installations, nuclear energy centers, and facilities for handling nonfuel-cycle by-products and source and special nuclear materials. Areas in which present regulatory requirements and guidance would have to be more specific would include timeliness of license termination in the event that a nuclear facility ceases operation, assurance from the nuclear facilities licensee that adequate funds are available to decommission the facility, assurance that the licensee has a definite decommissioning plan, and determination of acceptable residual radioactivity levels required for the release of affected property for unrestricted use. The residual radioactive level for permitting the release of a nuclear facility for unrestricted use would be 10 mrems per year whole-body dose equivalent. Excluded here from consideration for regulatory change are decommissioning of low-level waste burial facilities, high-level waste repositories, and uranium mill and mill tailings piles, which are covered in separate rulemaking activities, and decommissioning of uranium mines that are not under Nuclear Regulatory Commission jurisdiction. This draft supplemental EIS updates the information provided in the 1988 final EIS. The supplement is intended to be used to evaluate environmental impacts that occur during the decommissioning of nuclear power reactors as residual radioactivity at each site is reduced to levels that allow for termination of a license to operate the facility. It updates the final EIS with respect to pressurized water reactors, boiling water reactors, and multiple reactor stations. The supplement goes beyond the 1988 statement to consider high-temperature gass-coooled reactions and fast breeder reactors. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In providing background for the development of regulatory standards, these guidelines for decommissioning nuclear facilities would allow dismantling of exhausted or damaged facilities in a safe, efficient, and timely manner. Assurance that residual radioactivity would remain within safe dosage levels would allow unrestricted use of sites formerly used for development of nuclear resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Decommissioning activities would expose workers to additional occupational doses of radioactivity. Dumping radioactive wastes from decommissioned facilities would involve the irreversible commitment of a small amount of land at an appropriate radioactive waste burial facility. Decommissioning of facilities would result in a slight economic burden for licensees and their consumers. LEGAL MANDATES: Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regulations.

Based on the chemical ratios and isotopic compositions, the groundwater bodies are differentiated into three main groups: (1) fresh, cold, and shallow groundwater; (2) brackish, thermal, and deep groundwater, and (3) an admixed groundwater. The fractions of deep thermal water in the total discharge of admixed groundwaters were estimated and the elevations of recharge zones for the Paleogene aquifer were determined. Based on tritium content in atmospheric precipitation and by adopting a model with exponential time distribution function, the mean residence time of groundwater is evaluated. Radiocarbon groundwater ages were calculated and corrected according to the most commonly used models. The extensive declining of major karst springs discharge in the Ras Al-Ain area is the consequence of a severe groundwater pumping from the Paleogene aquifer. The remaining groundwater resources in this aquifer are subject to be exhausted in the future years, in the absence of any real rational treatment and suitable management strategies.

Irradiated and non-irradiated samples were stored at refrigeration temperatures (1-4 degree C). Microbial population, chemical changes and sensory properties were evaluated every 2 weeks during 14 weeks of storage. The results indicated that gamma irradiation reduced the counts of microorganisms and increased the shelf-life of luncheon meat from 10 weeks for the control to 14 weeks for irradiated samples. Total acidity, lipid oxidation and the volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) increased after 2 weeks of irradiation. However, after 10 weeks of storage, the total acidity and volatile basic nitrogen were less than the control. Sensory evaluation indicated that no significant differences (P > 0.05) were found between irradiated and non-irradiated samples in taste and flavour.

In 1983, it became one of the first programs to make successful use of probabilistic risk information to aid in regulatory decision-making. In the 16 years since the program became quantitative, 836 issues have been processed. Of these, 106 reactor safety issues were prioritized as requiring further evaluation to determine the final resolution. Approximately a dozen generic issues remain unresolved. Although there is far less reactor licensing activity than in the 1970s, new issues continue to be identified from research and operational experience. These issues often involve complex and controversial questions of safety and regulation, and an efficient and effective means of addressing these issues is essential for regulatory effectiveness. Issues that involve a significant safety question require swift, effective, enforceable, and cost-effective regulatory actions. Issues that are of little safety significance must be quickly shown to be so and dismissed in an expeditious manner so as to avoid unnecessary expenditure of limited resources and to reduce regulatory uncertainty. Additionally, in the time since the generic issue program began, probabilistic risk assessment techniques have advanced significantly while agency resources have continued to diminish. Accordingly, the paper discusses the steps that have been taken to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the generic issue resolution process. Additionally, four resolved issues are discussed, along with key elements of a proposed new procedure for resolving potential generic issues.

Recent ultrasonic examination of considerable vessel material at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and industry experiences with Yankee Rowe have provided the NRC with a better understanding of PTS issues. The re-evaluation of PTS will consider a risk-informed approach to the PTS rule and also provide important benefits for licensees considering license renewal. Pressurized thermal shock transients can lead to reactor vessel failure. These transients have occurred at operating reactors but, to date, they have not resulted in vessel failure. To properly determine the potential or probability for vessel failure from a PTS event, an accurate estimate of fabrication flaws is necessary. The characteristics of the fabrication flaw are inputs to fracture mechanics structural calculations that will determine the probability of vessel failure during a PTS event. Also, the results will indicate the sizes and locations of flaws that are most likely to cause failures. This information is also an integral input to the overall pressure vessel safety program. In order to obtain an accurate estimate of fabrication flaws to address PTS events for all classes of reactors, a generic flaw distribution must be developed. An expert judgment process will be used in conjunction with empirical data from PNNL, reactor pressure vessel studies and modeling (RR- PRODIGAL Code) in developing generalized flaw distributions. This paper will demonstrate the important relationship between reactor vessel integrity and flaw distributions in reactor pressure vessel material, discuss the PNNL work to date on developing flaw density and distributions for domestic RPVs, and describe the expert judgment process that was used to verify that a generalized flaw distribution can be properly developed and then assist in developing a generalized flaw distribution.

AN - 71046429; 11480872 AB - The ability of a dose calculation algorithm, using the readings of multiple dosimeters, to accurately assess the effective dose under different photon irradiation conditions was assessed using computer simulation. The algorithm was that described in American National Standards Institute publication N13.41. Monte Carlo calculations with an anthropomorphic humanoid phantom were used to calculate the effective doses and also the expected readings of the multiple dosimeters. The irradiation geometries considered included a point source placed at several locations at a distance of 100 cm in front of the phantom, as well as an anterior-posterior plane parallel beam with a lead shield interposed between the phantom and the source. The point source energies considered were 0.05, 0.6, and 2 MeV, and the beam energy was varied between 0.03 and 10 MeV. Also considered were the estimates of effective dose based on the highest reading of the multiple dosimeters, a practice that is currently used in many work places. The results showed that use of the algorithm resulted in substantial improvements in the ability to accurately estimate effective dose. However, the results also showed that the improvements in accuracy were achievable only by using a calibration factor for the dosimetry that is different from the one obtained in current dosimetry calibration practices, and that without the use of this factor, the algorithm tended to underestimate the effective dose for nearly all the irradiation geometries considered. In addition, it appeared that this calibration factor is not constant but varies with irradiation conditions. There thus appears to be a problem of proper dosimetry calibration for use with the algorithm. This work considered only anterior posterior irradiations, and additional work is needed to assess the performance of the algorithm in other non-uniform irradiation geometries.

The mock-up will also be used to evaluate emerging inspection technologies. The 3.66 m (12 ft)-tall mock-up contains 400 tube openings, each consisting of nine test sections that can be used to simulate current-day field-induced flaws and artifacts. Included in the mock-up are simulations of tube support plate (TSP) intersections and the tube sheet (TS). Cracks are present at the TSP, TS, and in the free span sections of the mock-up. For initial evaluation of the RR results, various eddy current methods, as well as multivariate models for data analysis techniques are being used to estimate the depth and length of defects in the mock-up. To ensure that the RR is carried out with procedures as close as possible to those implemented in the field, input was obtained from industry experts on the protocol and procedures to be used for the exercise. One initial assembly of the mock-up with a limited number of flaws and artifact has been completed and tested. A second completed configuration with additional flaw and artifacts simulations will be used for the round robin.

Jute yarns soaked for different soaking times (3, 5, 10, and 30 minutes) in HDDA+MeOH solutions at different proportions (1-10% HDDA in MeOH [v/v] along with photoinitiator Darocur-1664 [3%]) were cured under UV lamp at different UV radiation intensities (two, four, six, and eight passes). Concentration of monomer, soaking time, and intensity of UV radiation were optimized with extent of mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation at break, and modulus. Enhanced tensile strength (67%), modulus (108%), and polymer loading (11%) were achieved with 5% HDDA concentration, 5-minute soaking time, fourth pass of UV radiation. To further improve the mechanical properties, the jute yarns were pretreated with UV radiation (5, 10, 15, 30, and 50 passes) and treated with optimized monomer concentration (5%). UV-pretreated samples showed the enhanced properties. The tensile strength and modulus increase up to 84% and 132%, respectively, than that of virgin jute yarn. An experiment involving water absorption capacity shows that water uptake by treated samples was much lower than that of the untreated samples. During the weathering test, treated yarns exhibited less loss of mechanical properties than untreated yarns.

AN - 70818566; 11339524 AB - Uranium concentration in groundwater samples from three areas of Syria was determined using alpha-spectrometry and INAA. It was in the range of 0-6.13 microg/l in the phosphate areas, and lower than 1 ppb in the volcanic areas. The activity ratio of 234U/238U was investigated, and disequilibrium of uranium isotopes was found to occur (234U/238U = 0.52-2.02). The excess of 234U was calculated. This excess can be interpreted by higher mobility of 234U, which more readily forms the soluble (UO2)2+ ion in comparison with 238U, most of which remains in the insoluble 4+ state. This excess increases with increase in uranium concentration. Thorium concentration was measured using INAA, it was found to be in the rang 0-1.15 microg/l.

AN - 70805154; 11339525 AB - Portland cement was mixed with different concentrations of radium chloride (1200, 2400 and 3600 Bq) to produce radioactive sources. These sources were surrounded with cement of different thickness (1, 2 and 4cm). The release of radon from these sources (before and after being surrounded) was studied. The results showed that radon release from the sources itself was less then its release from the same source after being surrounded by cement, and the release did not change with the thickness of cement. Samples were covered with a thin layer of polyethylene before being surrounded with cement. It was found that this additional layer reduced the radon exhalation. This thin layer stopped any reaction between the source and the surrounding cement during solidification of the cement layers. These reactions are thought to be the reason for the increase of radon exhalation from the sources surrounded by cement.

ATHLET Mode 1.2 Cycle A, User's Manual, GRS-p-1/Vol. 1, Rev. 1, GRS). In order to extend the code's range of application to the safety analysis of research reactors, a model was developed and implemented permitting a description of the steam formation in the subcooled boiling regime (Hainoun, A., 1994. Modellierung des unterkuehlten Siedens in ATHLET und Anwendung in wassergekuehlten Forschungsreaktoren, D 294 Diss. Univ. Bochum, Juel-2961). Considering the specific features of high flux research reactors given by both high heat flux and high flow velocity, the model of void condensation in subcooled flow has been extended and a new correlation of critical heat flux (CHF) is implemented. To validate the extended program, the Thermal-Hydraulic Test Loop (THTL) of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) was modeled with ATHLET and an extensive series of experiments concerning the onset of thermohydraulic flow instability (OFI) in subcooled boiling regime were calculated. The comparison between experiments and ATHLET-postcalculation shows that the extended code can accurately simulate the thermohydraulic conditions of flow instability in a wide range of heat flux up to 15 MW m super(-2) and inlet flow velocity up to 20 m s super(-1). The thermohydraulic design limit characterized by the mass flux, at which the flow just becomes unstable (OFI), has been predicted in very good agreement with the experiment. However the calculated pressure drop at OFI is overestimated by a maximum deviation of about 25%. The calculated exit bulk temperature of subcooled coolant and the maximum wall temperature at OFI show a maximum deviation from experiment of 12 and 7%, respectively.

Poster Paper No. A003 N1 - Last updated - 2010-05-03 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Modeling an irrigation management strategy for minimizing the leaching of atrazine AN - 17875333; 5116920 AB - Possible contamination of water resources by applied pesticides (including insecticides and herbicides) is a problem currently confronting irrigated agricultural production. Best management practices have to be adopted to minimize pesticide transport and leaching under irrigated conditions. A field capacity/mixing-cell model (IRRSCHM) and a model that uses Richard's equation and the convection-dispersion equation to describe water and contaminant dynamics in soils (LEACHP) were used to assess the leaching of atrazine (a herbicide) under corn receiving different levels of early-season irrigation. The early-season irrigation levels were 11.1, 16.8, 23.3, and 28.8 cm out of corresponding seasonal irrigation levels of 31.2, 39.6, 45.5, and 53.1 cm. The objectives were to (a) use a modeling approach to evaluate water management effects on atrazine leaching, and (b) assess the feasibility of using IRRSCHM and LEACHP to guide irrigation for minimizing atrazine leaching.IRRSCHM and LEACHP simulations deviated from the measured atrazine profile, but both models predicted reasonably well the progression in atrazine leaching with increasing water application. Additionally, atrazine pulses predicted by IRRSCHM were ahead of those by LEACHP but lagged behind those observed under the different irrigation levels. Similarly, both models underestimated atrazine leaching, with IRRSCHM leaching estimates being closer to the observed than the LEACHP estimates. For example, the atrazine profile's center of mass position at 143 days after application, ranged from 34.2 to 49.4 cm for IRRSCHM, 23.8 to 34.7 cm for LEACHP, and 40.6 to 60.9 cm for the measured atrazine profile under irrigation levels that ranged from 31.2 to 53.1 cm of water. Based on accurate predictions of the trends in atrazine leaching in relation to different irrigation levels, IRRSCHM and LEACHP could be used for preliminary assessment of the likely amount of atrazine leaching, resulting from targeted irrigation management strategies.

AN - 36434297; 9158 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 located in South Miami-Dade County, Florida for an additional 20 years is proposed in this third draft supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all nuclear power reactor 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. Each of the remaining 23 issues that applies to Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 is addressed in this draft supplement. The applicant, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), operates the units on a 24,000-acre site, located on the shoreline of Biscayne Bay surrounded by a 0.79-mile exclusion area. The site and adjacent lands along the shoreline north of the site comprise Biscayne Bay National Park. Each unit is a pressurized light-water reaction with three steam generators, which power the turbine generators. Each unit, designed and fabricated by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, is capable of an output of 2,300 megawatts (MW) of thermal energy, with a corresponding gross electrical output of approximately 795 MW. Onsite electrical power usage amounts to slightly more than 100 MW, leaving each unit with a reliable net summer rating of 693 MW. The units employ a three-loop cooling system for heat dissipation. The primary loop is a sealed system that carries heat from the reactors to the steam generators. The secondary loop, which is also sealed, carried heat from the steam generators through the turbines to the condensers. The tertiary system carries heat from the condensers to a recirculating canal system where the heat is released into the environment. The temperature rise in the water from the recirculating canals across the condensers is approximately 18 degrees Fahrenheit. The primary and secondary loops use treated freshwater, while the tertiary loop uses saltwater. The cooling canal system, which covers approximately 6,700 acres, consists of 32 channels that carry warm water south from the plant and eight channels that return water to the plant. FPL uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect byproducts of reactor operations. The nonradioactive waste system consists of a contact stabilization treatment plant for sanitary waste located west of the powerblock area. The units share a switchyard and transmission lines with Turkey Points Unites 1 and 2. Eight transmission lines leave the site in two 330-foot-wide corridors; overall corridor length is approximately 57 miles. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant unit would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs; the units would continue to generate electricity to supply the needs of more than 13,000 homes. For each of the applicable issues, it has been determined that the potential environmental impacts of renewal of the licenses is small. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The units would continue to consume approximately 1.5 cubic feet per second of demineralized, potable, and fire protection water per day. The average flow of sanitary wastewater, discharged to groundwater through an injection well, would continue to amount to 0.053 cubic feet per second. The most significant resource commitments related to the operation during the renewal term would involve fuel and permanent waste storage space. The units replace approximately 33 percent of the fuel assemblies in each of the two units during every refueling outage, which occurs on an 18-month cycle. Radiation releases from the units during normal operations would be minimal but, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, radiation releases would present a threat to the environment and human health in a highly populated area.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: REGARDING TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4, SOUTH MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA (FIFTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36379156; 9158-020041_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 located in South Miami-Dade County, Florida for an additional 20 years is proposed in this third draft supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all nuclear power reactor 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. Each of the remaining 23 issues that applies to Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 is addressed in this draft supplement. The applicant, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), operates the units on a 24,000-acre site, located on the shoreline of Biscayne Bay surrounded by a 0.79-mile exclusion area. The site and adjacent lands along the shoreline north of the site comprise Biscayne Bay National Park. Each unit is a pressurized light-water reaction with three steam generators, which power the turbine generators. Each unit, designed and fabricated by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, is capable of an output of 2,300 megawatts (MW) of thermal energy, with a corresponding gross electrical output of approximately 795 MW. Onsite electrical power usage amounts to slightly more than 100 MW, leaving each unit with a reliable net summer rating of 693 MW. The units employ a three-loop cooling system for heat dissipation. The primary loop is a sealed system that carries heat from the reactors to the steam generators. The secondary loop, which is also sealed, carried heat from the steam generators through the turbines to the condensers. The tertiary system carries heat from the condensers to a recirculating canal system where the heat is released into the environment. The temperature rise in the water from the recirculating canals across the condensers is approximately 18 degrees Fahrenheit. The primary and secondary loops use treated freshwater, while the tertiary loop uses saltwater. The cooling canal system, which covers approximately 6,700 acres, consists of 32 channels that carry warm water south from the plant and eight channels that return water to the plant. FPL uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect byproducts of reactor operations. The nonradioactive waste system consists of a contact stabilization treatment plant for sanitary waste located west of the powerblock area. The units share a switchyard and transmission lines with Turkey Points Unites 1 and 2. Eight transmission lines leave the site in two 330-foot-wide corridors; overall corridor length is approximately 57 miles. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant unit would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs; the units would continue to generate electricity to supply the needs of more than 13,000 homes. For each of the applicable issues, it has been determined that the potential environmental impacts of renewal of the licenses is small. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The units would continue to consume approximately 1.5 cubic feet per second of demineralized, potable, and fire protection water per day. The average flow of sanitary wastewater, discharged to groundwater through an injection well, would continue to amount to 0.053 cubic feet per second. The most significant resource commitments related to the operation during the renewal term would involve fuel and permanent waste storage space. The units replace approximately 33 percent of the fuel assemblies in each of the two units during every refueling outage, which occurs on an 18-month cycle. Radiation releases from the units during normal operations would be minimal but, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, radiation releases would present a threat to the environment and human health in a highly populated area.

HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2, APPLING COUNTY, GEORGIA (FOURTH FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 16357591; 8528 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal for an additional 20 years of the operating licenses for the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant (HNP), Units 1 and 2, located in southeastern Georgia, is proposed. The final EIS of May 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant (the Southern Nuclear Operating Company) nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the units in this third supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on the promulgation of rules for all license renewals. If the license were renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power and other matters within the state's jurisdiction or the purview of the owners. In addition to the No Action Alternative, alternatives to license renewal addressed in this supplement include coal-fired generation, gas-fired generation, imported electrical power, and other, less traditional means of power generation. If the operating license were not renewed, Edwin I, Units 1 and 2, would be shut down on or before the expiration dates of the current licenses, which would be August 6, 2014 and June 13, 2018, respectively. The plant is jointly owned by Georgia Power Company, Oglethorpe Power Corporation, the Municipal Electrical Authority of Georgia, and the City of Dalton, Georgia. The 2,240-acre HNP site, which straddles the Altamaha River in a rural area of southeastern Georgia, is characterized by low-rolling sandy hills that are predominantly forested. Each unit employs a boiling-water reactor with steam-electric turbines and is rated at 2,436 megawatts-thermal (MW(t)) and designed for a power level corresponding to approximately 2,537 MW(t). HNP is licensed to operate at a maximum core thermal power output level of 2,763 MW(t). Each unit is rated for a net electrical output of 924 MW. The units are fueled by slightly-enriched uranium dioxide in the form of high-density ceramic pellets. Makeup water for the closed-loop cooling systems is withdrawn from the Altamaha River. Water is returned to the river via a submerged discharge structure. HNP uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems. Six transmission lines, extending a combined distance of 338 miles, connect the HNP to the regional transmission grid. Under the preferred alternative, the operating licenses for the two units would be renewed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the units would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The operation of HNP would continue to remove 57 million gallons per day of water from the Altamaha River and return makeup water to the river. The release of water to the river from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume, adversely affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. The 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 the plant closure and the transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

AN - 77047780; 11300413 AB - The linear and mass attenuation coefficients of different types of soil, sand, building materials and heavy beach mineral samples from the Chittagong and Cox's Bazar area of Bangladesh were measured using a high-resolution HPGe detector and the gamma-ray energies 276.1, 302.8, 356.0, 383.8, 661.6 and 1173.2 and 1332.5 keV emitted from point sources of 133Ba, 137Cs and 60Co, respectively. The linear attenuation coefficients show a linear relationship with the corresponding densities of the samples studied. The variations of the mass attenuation coefficient with gamma-ray energy were exponential in nature. The measured mass attenuation coefficient values were compared with measurements made in other countries for similar kinds of materials. The values are in good agreement with each other in most cases.

Its environment and ecology are of diverse nature, It is a part of humid tropics. Geologically, it is the delta of the three big rivers of the world--the Ganges, the Brahmaputra and the Meghna, known as the Bengal Basin. Most part of this Basin consists of Quaternary alluvial deposits lain down by the three big rivers, their tributaries and distributaries. These deposits are thought to be as thick as 3 000 m, most of it being of Pleistocene origin. The delta area itself only shows a very poor relief with some maximum elevations of upto some 20 m to 30 m Above Mean Sea Level. The majority of the coastal area, however, consists of Holocene alluvial and estuarine deposits in the valleys between the Pleistocene terraces and along the coast of the Bay of Bengal. The river systems continue a huge amount of sediment supply at the rate of 2.4 billion tons of sediment to one of the largest deltas of the world, keeping the expansion of the delta in progress. But it is very slow as most of this huge sediment supply washed away to the deeper part of the Bay of Bengal where it settles. It is believed that a delicate equilibrium exists between the upbuilding of the flood plain by flood lain deposits and the relative sea-level rise. A highly important and often disastrous feature is the extremely dynamic behaviour of the beds of the rivers and the tidal channels of the delta. The tide in Bangladesh is semi-diurnal. The two successive levels of high water and low water show distinct daily inequalities. The South-west monsoon tends to accumulate water in the north-eastern corner of the Bay of Bengal. Together with the huge fresh water discharge from the large rivers, this leads to rise of the water level along the coast. It is most common and of the greatest magnitude during tides. Occasionally, the vertical appearing wall of water is about 1.0 m to 1.5 m in height, which under some adverse meteorological conditions produces tidal bore of up to 5 m in height and savages/damages the coastal regions of Bangladesh in a greater extent. The coastal waves have an important influence on the erosion and deposition processes. Along the long sandy coast of Bangladesh, this phenomenon is causing the well known littoral drift. Incidentally, higher waves may occur during cyclones. Both suspended and bed loads are moving with the water of the rivers and estuarian inlets. In the coastal regions of Bangladesh, the water is always found in motion due to tides and waves which create turbulence. As a result, the settlement of moving sediments is found minimum in comparison to the huge quantities discharged by the river systems of Bangladesh.

Acting under a variety of legal requirements the NRC regulates the export of nuclear facilities, components and nuclear materials for purposes of non-proliferation. In addition, in 1995 the Commission amended NRC regulations in 10CFR Part 110 to establish specific licensing requirements for imports and exports of radioactive waste to conform U.S. practices to the IAEA Code of Practice on the International Transboundary Movement of Radioactive Waste. For imports, NRC regulations require specific licensing of imports of nuclear facilities and source and special nuclear material in the form of irradiated fuel that exceeds 100 kg per shipment. All other imports of source, byproduct, or special nuclear material are allowed into the U.S. under a general license (10CFR110.27) if the consignee is authorized to possess the material under a license issued by the NRC or an Agreement State, as a DOE contractor, or the material is exempt from licensing.

Carbon-14 dating and the presence of fault-scarp free faces in soft, late Pleistocene lake deposits suggest coseismic slip during the past two or three centuries, possibly corresponding with one of the well-documented earthquakes of 1705 or 1759. With an estimated Holocene slip rate of 1-2 mm a (super -1) , the Serghaya Fault accommodates a significant part of the active deformation along the Arabian-African plate boundary. These results suggest that multiple active fault branches are involved in the transfer of strain through the "Lebanese" restraining bend.

AN - 16350676; 8471 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 (ANO-1) for an additional 20 years, located in central Arkansas, is proposed. This final supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 covers the promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final generic EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, known as Entergy Operations, Inc, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Some 23 issues that apply to ANO-1 are addressed in this final supplement. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the ANO-1 in this final supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed, ANO-1 would be shut down on or before expiration of the current license, which is May 20, 2014. ANO-1 is located on 1,164 acres of land on a peninsula extending into Lake Dardanelle in a rural area in west-central Arkansas. An exclusion area with a radius of 0.7 mile surrounds the site. ANO is a two-unit facility. Both units are pressurized-water reactors. ANO-1 has a Babcock and Wilcox nuclear steam supply system rated for a net electrical power output of 850 megawatts (MW) and is operated at a maximum combined thermal power output level rated at 2,568 MW. ANO-1 began commercial operation in 1974. The unit's condensers utilize a once-through cooling system. Lake Dardanelle serves as the cooling water source. The reactor requires approximately 1,700 cubic feet per second of cooling water to condense steam during normal operation. ANO uses liquid, gaseous, and solid water processing systems to collect and treat radioactive materials produced as a by-product of operations. Power is delivered to the regional power grid via 191 miles of transmission lines, requiring 3,700 acres of rights-of-way. The preferred alternative is the renewal of the license alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant unit would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The ANO site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The operation of ANO-1 would continue to remove 946 million gallons per day of water from Lake Dardanelle and return makeup water to the lake. The release of water to the lake from the once-through system results in a thermal plume, affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. The 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.

Data from the IMS will be processed by the International Data Center (IDC) to locate events and to screen out those that are clearly natural events. Accurate location of events is important because a suspicious event could lead to an on-site inspection that will focus on the region of the determined epicenter. We explore the question of potential IDC location errors for seismic events in Israel. We consider both systematic location bias due to inaccuracies in the travel time model and statistical variation due to errors in picking phase onsets. We find that systematic epicentral bias might be as large as 30 km, despite a relatively good station configuration, in which case it will dominate the statistical errors.

Twelve of the 13 synthetic random primers were found to identify polymorphism in amplification products. Mutants characterised with moderate resistance to white rot were closely related to the control using cluster and correlation analyses. On the other hand, highly resistant mutants were quite distant from the control with low correlation coefficients. The banding patterns produced by primer OPB-15 (GGAGGGTGTT) with highly resistant mutants may by used as genetic markers for early selection of resistant plants.

The TFs were obtained for different plants/crops such as, rice, bean, peanuts pineapple, cabbage, tomato, spinach and grass. The average TF values of super(60)Co are found to be 0.087, 0.15, 0.12, 0.67, 0.28, 0.79, 1.03 and 0.34 respectively for the above mentioned plants/crops. In case of super(65)Zn, the average TF values are found to be 2.24, 1.17, 0.89, 1.09, 0.78, 1.34, 2.92 and 1.78, respectively, for the above mentioned plants/crops. The data will be useful to assess the radiation exposure to man associated with the releases of radionuclides from nuclear facilities by means of radiological assessment models that require transfer factors as input parameters to predict the contamination of radionuclides in foodchain.

The species were analysed to determine the levels of eleven chemical elements namely: Al, As, Br, Cd, Fe, La, Mn, Ni, Hg, V and Zn by Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA). Al, Br, Ni, and Zn were measured in all the seaweed species studied. The element Al generally showed the highest concentrations in most of the species analysed while Hg levels were the lowest. Precision and accuracy of the method have been evaluated and the detection limits also calculated. The results showed high variability in and between species, among sampling sites and times of collection. The high values of metal concentrations in the macroalgae suggest that these marine organisms can be used as biological indicators for studing marine pollution.

Studies of uranium (VI) absorption by a weathered schist and specimen mineral phases that comprise the schist were conducted as a function of aqueous chemical conditions in laboratory experiments. The schist was collected from weathered, subsurface soil in the vicinity of the Koongarra uranium deposit (Northern Territory, Australia). The variable dissolved uranium (VI) and the distribution coefficient, Kd, that describes the partitioning of uranium (VI) between the aqueous and solid phases. Kd values determined in the laboratory experiments compared favorably with in-situ partitioning constants derived from analyses of dissolved uranium (VI) in groundwater and in the subsurface soils. Mineral coatings were more important than bulk mineralogy in controlling U (VI) absorption by the schist. JF - NUREG/CR (United States.

AN - 77007630; 11274851 AB - The study is an attempt, within the process of the optimization of radiation protection, to propose constraints to the individual annual doses of classified workers employed in the medical sector of ionizing radiation applications in Greece. These exposed workers were grouped according to their specialties, i.e. medical doctors, technicians and nurses and their occupational category with common or similar tasks, such as diagnostic radiology, interventional radiology, nuclear medicine and radiotherapy. The last 5 years' annual dose distributions of these occupational groups, coming from the National Dose Registry Information System (NDRIS) of the Greek Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) were analyzed. The proposed dose constraints (DCs) were set at levels, below which the annual doses of the 70 or 75% of the exposed workers per category are expected to be included. At the present stage the derived values may be considered achievable ceiling values referring to acceptably applied practices rather than to optimized ones, taking into account social and economic criteria.

AN - 70588666; 11211084 AB - The biogas production and some biochemical parameters of anaerobic fermentation at 30 degrees C for 40 days were studied for eight experimental groups of fermentation media, as affected by two factors: (1) the type of the animal waste (sheep waste, S and goat waste, G), and (2) the ratio of waste to olive cake which constitutes four levels (100:0 for S1 and G1; 80:20 for S2 and G2; 60:40 for S3 and G3 and 40:60 for S4 and G4). The results indicated that there was a significant decrease (P < 0.05) in the biogas production with an increase in the proportion of olive cake in place of animal waste. However, there was a significant increase in the biogas production for the S4 treatment compared with G4, reflecting an effect induced by the type of animal waste. The biogas production amounted to (l/kg VS/40 d): 62 (S1), 53 (S2), 49 (S3), 40 (S4), 58 (G1), 50 (G2), 44 (G3) and 25 (G4). The reduction in total solid (TS) weight, volatile solids (VS), neutral-detergent fiber decreased significantly (P < 0.05) with the increase in olive cake proportion in the digester. The reductions in VS were (% in DM): 58.2 (S1), 37.8 (S2), 26.6 (S3), 22.6 (S4), 58.1 (G1), 36 (G2), 33.4 (G3), 14.4 (G4). The rates of energy consumption were (MJ/kg DM/40 d): 15.36 (S1), 10.12 (S2), 7.84 (S3), 6.68 (S4), 14.16 (G1), 9.68 (G2), 8.41 (G3), 3.29 (G4).

Considerable empirical evidence provides testament to the robustness of the Master Curve procedure. However, in 1997, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff detailed several technical issues requiring resolution prior to staff acceptance of applications of Master Curve technology to the fracture integrity assessment of nuclear reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) [1]. Current and recently completed research programs sponsored by both the NRC and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) focus on closure of these issues. This paper reviews the issues detailed in 1997, comments on their continued relevance in light of recent research results, and details areas where either additional research or a change or research focus in warranted.

This paper describes the process used to identify the PTS-risk-significant events to be added to the PRAs of plants being studied in an on-going Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) PTS risk evaluation. The process requires consideration of the five necessary features of PTS events: (1) and (2) fast neutron embrittlement and a crack or flaw in the reactor pressure vessel; (3) rapid cooling of the primary system; (4) a sustained low temperature (< similar to 176.7 degree C {350 degree F} for vessels with reference temperature for the nil-ductility transition (RT sub(NDT)) less than 132.2 degree C {270 degree F}); and (5) repressurization (or maintenance of high primary system pressure). Without the presence of all five of these features, no event will pose a significant PTS-related risk. This paper assumes the presence of the first two (materials-related) features, and discusses the remaining three (transient-related) features. To date, no radically new initiators or event sequences have been identified. However, since this study considers the added operational difficulties that may be caused by the loss of support systems and the effects on the operators of more complex initiating events, it is believed that compared to previous studies, more realistic PTS risk results will be obtained.

In developing performance assessment (PA) computer models to simulate long-term behavior at YM, colloidal transport of radionuclides has been proposed as a critical factor because of the possible reduced interaction with the geologic media. Site-specific information on the chemistry and natural colloid concentration of saturated zone groundwaters in the vicinity of YM is combined with a surface complexation sorption model to evaluate the impact of natural colloids on calculated retardation factors (R (sub F) ) for several radioelements of concern in PA. Inclusion of colloids into the conceptual model can reduce the calculated effective retardation significantly. Strongly sorbed radionuclides such as americium and thorium are most affected by pseudocolloid formation and transport, with a potential reduction in R (sub F) of several orders of magnitude. Radioelements that are less strongly sorbed under YM conditions, such as uranium and neptunium, are not affected significantly by colloid transport, and transport of plutonium in the +5 valence state is only moderately enhanced. Model results showed no increase in the peak mean annual total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) within a compliance period of 10,000 years, although this is strongly dependent on container life in the base case scenario. At longer times, simulated container failures increase and the TEDE from the colloidal models increased by a factor of 60 from the base case. By using mechanistic models and sensitivity analyses to determine what parameters and transport processes affect the TEDE, colloidal transport in future versions of the TPA code can be represented more accurately.

Such sources are in widespread use in medical practice, in academic research, and in numerous industrial applications, such as gamma irradiation, radiography, gauging, gas chromatography, and well logging. Domestic and international commerce in these sources is extensive. As all of you know, although these sources are particularly useful, they are also potentially harmful if misused or if misplaced or stolen. Despite strong efforts by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and others, much work remains to establish effective national and international control over radioactive sources. And the controls that do exist are often hampered by less than effective communication among the users and the regulatory agency and by the failure to focus on the most important problems. Public attention is often more closely focused on the radiation and environmental hazards associated with the nuclear fuel cycle, and particularly with the dangers arising from power reactors, than on those associated with radioactive sources.

Studies were conducted to assess the possibility of applying sterile insect technique as an alternative control method against this pest. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of adult age, weight, female mating status, and sex ratio on success and frequency of mating in P. operculella. The relationship between number of matings, fecundity, and fertility of females was also studied. A negative correlation was found between mating success and adult age. Female and male weights had an effect on the number of times individuals mate, but male weight only influenced mating success. Males mated more than once when confined with three virgin females for 24 h. Females did not mate more than once, even when they were confined with three virgin males. Males were more likely to mate with virgin females than with previously mated females. Multiply mated females and those which did not accept a second mating showed higher fecundity and fertility than their counterparts which were not given the opportunity to remate. Our results provide essential information necessary to increase the effectiveness of sterile insect technique as a control method against P. operculella.

AN - 36411080; 9136 AB - PURPOSE: Issuance of a license to Private Fuel Storage, L.L.C. (PFS) for the construction and operation of an independent spent fuel storage installation on the reservation of the Skull Valley Ban of Goshute Indians in Skull Valley, Tooele County, Utah is proposed. PFS is owned by eight U.S. power utilities. The 820-acre site of the storage facility would be 27 miles west-southwest of Tooele. Spent nuclear fuel would be transported by rail from existing reactor sites to Skull Valley. The facility would be designed to store 40,000 metric tons of uranium. Dry cask technology, providing for storage of spent fuel inside sealed metal canisters that would be loaded into steel and concrete storage casks to be placed on concrete pads, would be the method of storage. The sytem would employ the Holtec HI-STORM dual-purpose canister based cask system. PFS anticipates the use of as many as 4,000 canisters inside individual storage casks to store the spent fuel. Approximately 25 percent of the storage area would be provided during the first two-year phase of the project. Another 25 percent would be completed during a second phase, and the remainder of the storage area would be completed during the third phase. Ownership, and the ultimate responsibility for the facility, would lie in the hands of the members of PFS. To transport the spent fuel from the existing rail line in Skull Valley to the storage installation, a rail siding and a 32-mile rail line within a 200-foot right-of-way from Skunk Ridge to the reservation would be constructed. The facility would be licensed to operate for up to 20 years, and the license would be open for possible renewal. In addition to the proposed action (Alternative, outlined above, this final EIS considers three action alternatives located on the reservation, a site in Freemont County, Wyoming, and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The availability of the storage facility would allow continued operation of the nuclear reactors owned and operated by the members of PFS by providing a safe and economical means of storing spent reactor fuel. Construction activities would provide employment for 255 persons during peak periods, and the facility would generally contribute to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The facility would displace undeveloped rangeland and constitute a visual intrusion in the area. Approximately 232 acres would be cleared for construction, of which 140 acres would be displaced for the life of the project. The rail line would require initial clearance of 776 acres, of which 155 acres would be cleared for the life of the project. The rail line would cross 32 arroyos. Historic resources of as yet undetermined quality occur within the project area.

AN - 72206479; 11605800 AB - Entrance surface doses (ESDs) were measured for the most common types of X ray procedures, such as chest PA, lumber spine AP, lumber spine lateral, skull AP, skull lateral and pelvis AP in four major hospitals of Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. Organ/tissue doses for 29 organs/tissues and effective doses for the patients were also calculated using the entrance surface dose as the input quantity. Organ/tissue doses and effective doses were calculated by using XDOSE software based on the Monte Carlo computation method. It was observed that the fluctuation of the entrance surface dose was too large. The ratio of maximum and minimum ESD values ranged from 4.8 to 35.9. Consequently, variation of organ doses was large even in the same type of X ray examination and in the same facility. Mean effective doses for the above mentioned X ray procedures were also determined and compared with the effective doses of some other countries. In most cases effective doses measured for the different types of X ray procedures were found to be lower than the effective doses of some other countries.

AN - 71227333; 11586728 AB - Individual neutron monitoring presents several difficulties due to the differences in energy response of the dosemeters. In the present study, an individual dosemeter (TLD) calibration approach is attempted for the personnel of a research reactor facility. The neutron energy response function of the dosemeter was derived using the MCNP code. The results were verified by measurements to three different neutron spectra and were found to be in good agreement. Three different calibration curves were defined for thermal, intermediate and fast neutrons. At the different working positions around the reactor, neutron spectra were defined using the Monte Carlo technique and ambient dose rate measurements were performed. An estimation of the neutrons energy is provided by the ratio of the different TLD pellets of each dosemeter in combination with the information concerning the worker's position; then the dose equivalent is deduced according to the appropriate calibration curve.

Thermoluminescence dosimetry systems will replace the existing photographic dosimetry system for the individual monitoring with the joint support of IAEA and GAEC. The thermoluminescence dosimetry system consists of two automated readers, one automated irradiator and about 20,000 dosemeters purchased from the Rados Co. The properties of two thermoluminescent materials have been compared: LiF has been chosen for the whole-body dosemeter configuration and Li2B4O7 for the extremities. The technical evaluation of the system has been performed according to the European and IEC standards. The overall uncertainty has been calculated. The existing database system, and the accounting and dispatching procedures have been adapted to the new demands. The system became operational on March 2000, and the official distribution of thermoluminescence dosemeters has begun.

AN - 71152085; 11548355 AB - Activity concentration of 232Th, 226Ra and 40K in local (Atbra and Rabak) and imported cement types (Jordanian, Indonesian and Seabulk) has been measured using high-resolution gamma-spectrometry. The average values obtained for 232Th, 226Ra and 40K activity concentrations in different cements are lower than the corresponding global values reported in UNSCEAR publications. The radium-equivalent activity (Raeq) of the samples was calculated and compared with similar data reported in the literature. The comparison has revealed that Raeq values obtained fall far below the criterion limit specified for building materials. The potential radiological hazard of the different samples was estimated using different approaches: representative level index and annual dose limit (dose due to gamma radiation inside the room and inhalation of radon). The estimated representative level index for all the samples is less than unity (the upper limit) indicating that the associated gamma radiation level is low. The annual dose limit falls within 0.19 to 0.30 mSv, which is an order of magnitude below the criterion limit specified for building materials in the literature.

Both physical characteristics of the potential repository site and the proposed repository design influence the extent to which diffusion occurs. Radionuclide movement via diffusion is modeled in three main areas by the DOE: transport through the engineered barrier system; transport in the unsaturated zone; and transport in the saturated zone. In the DOE's performance assessment radionuclide release from waste packages is diffusive until waste packages and drip shields are sufficiently degraded to allow advective flow into and out of waste packages. Currently the DOE models the diffusive release in a manner that maximizes the diffusive release from the package. Radionuclide transport through the welded tuffs in the unsaturated and saturated zones at Yucca Mountain is modeled by the DOE using an active fracture model. As a result of their current approach, matrix diffusion is an important radionuclide retardation mechanism in the unsaturated zone. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is an independent regulatory agency and evaluates the sufficiency of the DOE's performance assessments, including the supporting data. Where the NRC judges, based upon a risk-informed, performance-based approach, that the DOE's approach and technical bases is inadequate, the NRC requires that the DOE provide additional information. For each of the three main areas where diffusion is used by the DOE to model radionuclide transport the NRC has determined that additional technical bases are needed. Because the degradation geometry of waste packages controls whether diffusive or advective transport is dominant, the NRC has requested that the DOE provide additional data to support their characterization of the waste package degradation processes and the resultant geometry of the degradation. The NRC has requested additional information from the DOE to support its approach to matrix diffusion and retardation in the unsaturated and saturated zones. For instance, pre-test predictive analyses and test plans of proposed DOE field tests, which are designed to assess the extent of matrix diffusion, have been requested by the NRC.

The concentrations of first and second group elements are higher in the phosphate area than in the volcanic area. The concentrations of Fe, Co, Cr, Sc, Eu and Sm are high in some samples from the southern volcanic area. This can be explained by the occurrence of these elements in surrounding rocks and the solubility of their compounds. The results are compared with drinking water limits from different countries.

The site combines a partially saturated hydrologic system and a stratigraphy of fractured, welded, and nonwelded tuffs. The long timescale for site hydrologic phenomena limits the applicability of direct measurements. Also, mathematical modeling is difficult because the tuffs exhibit widely varying, and often highly nonlinear, hydrologic properties. To increase a basic understanding of both the hydrologic properties of tuffs and the modeling of flow in partially saturated regimes, the following tasks were performed. (1) Laboratory Experiment: water imbibition into a cylinder of tuff (taken from Yucca Mountain drill core) was measured by immersing one end of a dry sample in water and noting its weight as a function of time; the flow of water was approximately one dimensional, filling the sample from bottom to top. (2) Computer Simulation: the experiment was then modeled using TOSPAC (a one-dimensional, finite-difference computer program for simulating water flow in partially saturated, fractured, layered media) with preliminary data currently considered for use in site-scale modeling of a repository in Yucca Mountain. The measurements and the results of the modeling are compared. Conclusions are drawn with respect to the accuracy of modeling transient flow in a partially saturated, porous medium using a one-dimensional model and currently available hydrologic property data.

We propose the development of physically based conceptual models on a hierarchy of scales. This approach is derived from field investigations that were conducted in the vadose zone of the Snake River Plain in southeastern Idaho. Three scales of ponded infiltration tests were carried out: a Large Scale Infiltration Test (LSIT) conducted at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) (pond area approximately 26,000 m (super 2) ), intermediate-scale infiltration tests (pond area 56 m (super 2) ) conducted at the Box Canyon site (near Arco, Idaho), and small-scale infiltration tests (pond area 0.5 m (super 2) ) conducted at the Hell's Half Acre Lava Flow Site (near Shelly, Idaho). Laboratory water-dripping experiments were also conducted using fracture models with constant and variable apertures. We find that, at each scale of investigation, different models for flow phenomena must be used to explain the observed behavior. These models can be used to describe the flow processes on different scales, with no apparent scaling principles evident. To characterize flow phenomena in fractured basalt, we recommend that investigations be carried out at four scales: elemental, small-scale, intermediate-scale, and large-scale. An elemental component is a single fracture or a block of homogeneous porous media. Small-scale components include one or a few fractures and the surrounding matrix. Intermediate-scale (mesoscale) components include a basalt flow with its fracture network and other parts (fracture zones, vesicular lenses, soil, massive basalt, rubble zone) of a single basalt flow. Large-scale (regional) components include multiple basalt flows and their surrounding network of rubble zones and sedimentary interbeds.

Detailed water-content data were collected from 98 boreholes located in four topographic positions (ridgetops, sideslopes, alluvial terraces, and active channels) representing four infiltration zones. These data include monthly volumetric water-content readings with depth for 1984 through 1995 and water potential measurements made at a soil-bedrock contact in 1995. These data, combined with measured evapotranspiration and precipitation data, provide the seasonal and areal distribution of changes in volumetric water content needed to assess hydrologic processes contributing to net infiltration. The conceptual model of infiltration at Yucca Mountain describes the processes of precipitation, runoff, evapotranspiration, and vertical redistribution of water in the shallow unsaturated zone. Field observations and measurements and data analysis indicate that, in order for net infiltration to occur, water must reach and nearly saturate the soil-bedrock contact to initiate flow in the underlying fractured bedrock, and water must penetrate deep enough to escape the influences of evapotranspiration. The amount of net infiltration is a function of how long or how frequently the contact is saturated. Water must penetrate deep enough to escape the influences of evapotranspiration. The penetration of water through the soil is influenced primarily by the seasonal timing and areal distribution of precipitation, the storage capacity of soil, and the properties of the underlying bedrock.

The method generates simulations of a physically-based stochastic model that are conditioned on field observations. Two examples using stochastic models that are qualitatively based on elasticity theory are presented.

An alternative mechanism for the rapid propagation of pressure perturbations in unsaturated media is the kinematic response, which results from the nonlinear relationship between unsaturated hydraulic conductivity and water content. The relationship between pressure wave velocities and fluid velocities is described using kinematic wave theory, presented for the Brooks-Corey and van Genuchten-Mualem formulations. The kinematic mechanism predicts fluid pressure pulse velocities to be substantially faster than unsaturated fractured rock tracer velocities for both formulations. A hydraulic form of the advection-diffusion equation based on Richards' Equation is presented that uses the hydraulic diffusivity and kinematic velocity to predict the hydraulic response in unsaturated fractured rock to pressure head perturbations. Pressure pulse velocity monitoring may be an additional tool for estimating unsaturated hydraulic properties in low permeability media.

The disposal concept at Yucca Mountain takes advantage of low ambient water fluxes. Evaluation of site suitability must be based on an understanding of two-phase (liquid-gas) fluid flow and heat transfer processes in a heterogeneous, fractured rock mass. A large body of relevant knowledge has been accumulated in various fields, including petroleum and geothermal reservoir engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, and soil science. Complications at Yucca Mountain arise from the partly episodic and localized nature of water seepage in fracture networks. This limits the applicability of spatial and temporal averaging, and poses great challenges for numerical modeling. Significant flow and heat transfer effects may occur in the gas phase. Observations of natural and man-made chemical tracers as well as controlled field experiments have provided much useful information on mass transport at Yucca Mountain, including the occurrence of fast preferential flow. It is now clear that fracture-matrix interactions are considerably weaker than would be expected from a concept of water flowing in fractures as areally extensive sheets. The Yucca Mountain system is expected to be quite robust in coping with larger seepage rates, as may occur under future more pluvial climatic conditions.

Focussing or channeling of flow is dependent on both the permeability distribution and the pressure field. In the case of unsaturated media, it is also dependent on the degree of saturation. The emergence of flow channeling as a function of permeability variability (as measured by its standard deviation) and the spatial correlation range in three-dimensional porous systems is described. We also discuss the effects of channelized flow on two problems of practical interest for saturated and unsaturated heterogeneous media.

Type-curve analyses of transient data from single-hole tests yield information about air permeability, skin factor, borehole storage, phenomenology and dimensionality of the flow regime on a nominal scale of 1 m in the vicinity of each test interval. We find that transient air permeabilities agree well with steady state values but correlate poorly with fracture density. Larger scale cross-hole pneumatic tests were conducted by injecting air into a relatively short borehole interval of length 1-2 m, while monitoring air pressure and temperature in the injection interval; barometric pressure, air temperature and relative humidity at the surface; as well as air pressure and temperature in 13 short (0.5-2 m) and 24 longer (4-20 m) intervals within the injection and surrounding boreholes. We discuss one of these tests labeled PP4. Analyses of pressure data from individual monitoring intervals yield information about pneumatic connections between the injection and monitoring intervals, corresponding directional air permeabilities, and air-filled porosities. All of these quantities vary considerably from one monitoring interval to another on scales ranging from a few meters to well over 20 meters. Together with the results of earlier site investigations our single-and cross-hole test analyses reveal that, at the ALRS, a) the pneumatic pressure behavior of fractured tuff is amenable to analysis by methods that treat the rock as a continuum on scales ranging from meters to tens of meters; b) this continuum is representative primarily of interconnected fractures; c) its pneumatic properties vary strongly with location, direction and scale; in particular, the mean of pneumatic permeabilities increases, and their variance decreases, with scale: and d) this scale effect is most probably due to the presence in the rock of various size fractures that are interconnected on a variety of scales.

During winter, the wells exhaust air almost continuously at relatively high velocity, typically about 3 m s (super -1) . During summer, the wells alternately intake and exhaust air at much lower velocities, with flow directions typically reversing at least a few times a day. The air exchange arises in part from a topographic effect and in part from a barometric effect. The topographic effect arises from the fact that in an area of topographic relief, the column of air extending from a fractured-rock outcrop on the hillside to the hillcrest will be colder. Drier, and hence denser during cold weather than the column of air extending from the hillside outcrop through the highly permeable fractured rock and the well to the same hillcrest altitude. Thus, during winter, air will enter the outcrop and migrate through the fractured rock to exhaust out the well. During summer, the circulation pattern should be reversed with the wells taking in air in hot weather. This topographic effect is superimposed on barometrically induced air circulation that arises because air pressure at depth in the formation requires some time to equilibrate with that in the atmosphere following a barometric change whereas the pressure in the well bore equilibrate almost instantaneously. The interplay between topographic and barometric-effects appears adequate to explain circulation observed in summer, but the high-velocity nearly continuous air exhaust from the wells observed in winter seems to exceed that can be explained by the two identified mechanisms. Air circulation in the unsaturated zone at Yucca Mountain may result in drying of the rocks in the upper part of Yucca Mountain to a lower moisture content draw than that achieved by gravity drainage alone. Such drying would reduce the potential for deep percolation through the proposed repository horizon.

An experimental setup was developed to allow controlled infiltration experiments through discrete, in situ fractures. Percolation experiments showed significant spatial and temporal flow variability through the fractures. Steady state flow was not reached for the duration of the experiments, either through individual small regions or across the entire flow domain, although the boundary conditions were kept relatively constant. Moreover, flow trajectories within the fracture plane, defined by tracer tests, varied over time. Over 70% of the fluid flux was transmitted through less than 20% of the studied fracture openings. Water flow through the fracture was focused into dissolution channels, which were typically associated with fracture intersections. The flow through these channels was governed primarily by the mineralogical composition of the filling material and the inner structure of the fracture voids. In particular, salt dissolution, solid-particle migration and clay swelling were found to be the main processes controlling flow through these dissolution paths; these processes account for the observed unstable flow regime. Our results suggest that models for simulating water percolation through fractures in the vadose zone, at least in chalk formations, should consider the mapping of fracture intersections, in addition to the more common mapping of fractures. Moreover, detailed characterization of these fracture geometries is not the sole key parameter determining fracture flow patterns--flow is also strongly controlled by physical variations in the filling materials during wetting and drying cycles.

The ability to make decisions with regard to cleanup, site suitability, and anticipated performance of disposal or storage facilities is dependent upon the characterization and modeling of unsaturated flow and transport features, events, and processes. Hazardous materials may be mobilized by infiltrating water and move downward to affect groundwater resources. These contaminants may also move upward or laterally by capillary movement or as vapor to the accessible environment. Substantial experience exists with respect to near-surface partially saturated porous media, traditionally the domain of the soil scientists and geotechnical engineers, but does not exist for fractured rock in either near-surface or deep, complex, unsaturated systems that are now being characterized and modeled. The ability to represent these complex systems composed of both a matrix and a fracture component is being tested through a variety of field experiments and comparisons to natural analogues. The present focus is on evaluating conceptual flow and transport models and quantifying the spatial and temporal parameters for these models using laboratory and field methods, and environmental tracer analyses. Modeling of these dynamic and transient systems has followed two paths, porous equivalency and discrete fracture models. In general, characterization methods and modeling are in the confirmation stage with the greatest lack of knowledge being the interaction between fracture and matrix properties for flow and transport.

The data base consists of: the precipitation record, discharge record of seeps within Rainier Mesa, the gross chemistry and stable isotopic composition of these seeps, and two tracer studies conducted from the mesa surface. Results indicate that ground water is of recent meteoric origin, winter is the period of principal recharge, the period of hydrologic response is at least four months, the total recharge is approximately eight percent of the precipitation which falls on the U 12n recharge basin, and travel time is estimated as greater than one year and less than six. These observations describe an environment which has been subjected to nuclear testing since 1957. It is certain that this testing has altered the hydrogeochemical environment and it is suspected that some alteration of the hydraulic system has also occurred.

The tuff formations at and near the Nevada Test Site, which are under consideration for this purpose, are comprised of fractured-porous material, with hydrologic properties quite different from those encountered in most previous unsaturated flow studies dealing with soils. Another difference from "conventional" unsaturated flow is that in the vicinity of the waste packages, flow is driven by high temperatures (exceeding 100 degrees C) and large temperature gradients. The approximations developed in soil science for weakly nonisothermal flow are not applicable to this situation, and a multiphase description of flow is required, similar to approaches used in modeling of geothermal reservoirs and thermally enhanced oil recovery. The conventional approach to unsaturated flow is applicable, however, to a variety of problems relating to natural (undisturbed) and far-field flow conditions. This paper reviews recent work on numerical modeling of unsaturated flow undertaken in the context of nuclear waste isolation studies. Concepts and applications of broader interest are summarized, including the role of fractures in partially saturated flow, the response of a fractured medium to infiltration events, and a simplified description of flow based on an effective continuum approximation. It is pointed out that the heat released from the waste packages gives rise to multi-phase flow with heat pipe effects, which may have dramatic impact on thermal and hydrologic conditions. A number of important issues are identified which have not been adequately explored. These include the possibility that liquid water may flow along the rough walls of fractures, the bulk of which is drained. Pre-existing or induced fracture coatings may have significant hydrologic effects. Large-scale moisture movement may be important to describe natural (nearly isothermal) hydrologic conditions as well as waste-induced gas phase convection far beyond the thermally disturbed zone. The importance of model validation and calibration with laboratory and field measurements of unsaturated flow in fractured rock is emphasized.

For colonnades with lognormally distributed apertures and a column diameter of 1 m, the equivalent hydraulic conductivities and porosities for single realizations are directionally dependent at smaller length scales but show little directional dependence for networks that are in excess of 20 times the column diameter. The length scale requirements for directionally isotropic macrodispersivities are much more stringent than those for hydraulic conductivity and porosity; macrodispersivities are directionally dependent at length scales of up to 30 times the column diameter. The computed asymptotic and preasymptotic macrodispersivities are compared with available stochastic solutions; the ensemble-based numerical data are in excellent agreement with Dagan (1984, 1988) and Gelhar and Axness (1983) solutions. However, for individual realizations, nonergodic behavior is clearly apparent in the near-source, evolving region of transport and the numerical data are quite variable between realizations.

The first edition evolved from a special symposium held during the American Geophysical Union fall meetings in San Francisco in December 1986. Invited and contributed papers at that AGU session, as well as panel presentations, focused on conceptualizing, measuring and modeling flow and transport through unsaturated fractured rock. As noted in the preface to the first edition, "the expanded interest in the topic (water flow and contaminant transport through unsaturated fractured rock) was initiated when the U.S. Geological Survey proposed that deep unsaturated zones in arid regions be considered in the site selection for the first high-level, commercially generated radioactive waste repository." Much of the research reported in that first edition was motivated by the U.S. Department of Energy's program to investigate Yucca Mountain at the Nevada Test Site as a possible geologic repository for commercially generated, high-level radioactive waste. As noted in the overview paper of the first edition, "characterization methods and modeling are in their developmental stage with the greatest lack of knowledge being the interaction between fracture and matrix flow and transport properties." Although the first edition of this monograph reflected the state-of-the science, laboratory and field experimental programs were novel and limited and, in general, followed from the principles and methods developed in the soil science community.

Fourier amplitude and phase spectra related to the SP anomaly are derived and analyzed in order to adopt an interpretation procedure aiming at evaluating the geometric and physical parameters of these two studied structures. The validity of the new proposed method has been tested on synthetic examples, where it has been found a close agreement between assumed and computed values. A field example from the Ergani Copper district, Turkey has also been analyzed and interpreted by the proposed method, where an acceptable agreement has been noticed between the obtained results and other published results.

The tool was centralized and employed a gamma -ray source of very low activity (1.8 MBq). The log tool was tested separately using (i) (super 133) Ba and (ii) (super 137) Cs with 37 (super *) 75 mm NaI (TI) scintillation detector. Five source-detector configurations was studied and analyzed in the present work. The calibration equations for lead (Pb) and Zinc Metal Equivalent (ZME) prediction using Barium and Cesium sources have been quantitatively described for every studied configuration. The optimum configuration for the logging probe using a (super 133) Ba source is determined to be 52 mm source to detector spacing. This configuration gives the best results for both Pb and ZME grade. The r.m.s. deviation for Pb and ZME are 0.33 and 2.3% respectively. The optimum configuration for the logging probe using a (super 137) Cs source is determined to be 64 mm source to detector spacing. This configuration gives the best results for both Pb and ZME grade. The r.m.s. deviation for Pb and ZME are 0.36 and 2.2% respectively. The advantage of using low activity (super 137) Cs source is that this radioactive source does not need an extra source for spectrum gain stabilization, where the same source is used for both primary sources of radiation and gain stabilization. In addition, (super 137) Cs source is characterized by longer half- life and greater penetration effect of its gamma radiation. The low activity (super 133) Ba source however necessitates an additional (super 137) Cs microsource for gain stabilization. The tool is sensitive to changes in Zeq number of the matrix surrounding the borehole and could find application in the metalliferous mining industry for ore body delineation. Due to its very low gamma -ray source activity and lightweight, the tool is ideal for use with portable logging systems and underground mining operations. JF - Journal of King Abdulaziz University.

This new configuration is characterized by its high depth penetration compared with the other known traditional geoelectrical methods, applied from surface and in the wells. It presents a directional effect, which is one of the most important advantages of this configuration that proves its superiority. This configuration has been tested in the Rouez mine, Bretagne, France, where sulphide mineralisation is known to occur. Several anomalies have been isolated in the field data and interpreted by different interpretative techniques. The results obtained by applying this configuration were concordant and the detected conductors were approved by morphological and lithological descriptions.

Six large hospitals in Athens were selected and 385 patients made up the sample. The entrance surface doses (ESDs) to patients undertaking five common X ray examinations (chest, cervical spine, lumbar spine AP and LAT, pelvis) were estimated using both thermoluminescence dosemeters (TLDs) attached to the patient's skin and an ionisation chamber for air kerma measurements. Exposure settings and patient's data were recorded. Results concerning the kilovoltage and focus-to-film-distance (FFD) settings and the ESD values were analysed and compared to those recommended by the EU. Discrepancies in the patient doses and techniques used for the examinations studied were found among the different hospitals denoting the importance of establishing a national quality assurance programme and examination protocols to ensure patient doses are kept as low as possible. All the examinations studied fulfilled the EU recommendations except that for the chest where the doses were considerably higher due to the use of low kV sub(p) settings.

AN - 17826556; 4860338 AB - Natural water samples were collected from various locations in Syria and were analyzed to determine the D/H ratio, using stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry. Three types of water (a,b and c) were found. The D/H ratios were from 56.6 x 10 super(-6) to 148.9 x 10 super(-6), 159.9 x 10 super(-6) to 158.1 x 10 super(-6), and 170.7 x 10 super(-6) to 153.4 x 10 super(-6) for a-, b- and c- type waters, respectively. The most characterized locations were found in closed dam reservoir (c-type). It is estimated that the D/H ratio in c-type water is proportional to the mean daily evaporation rate and accumulation efficiency and is inversely proportional to the water mean depth. The electrical conductivity is found to be proportional to the D/H value for each separate location of c-type water. JF - Water Qual. Res. J. Can.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-10-26 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: REGARDING EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2, APPLING COUNTY, GEORGIA (FOURTH DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36408430; 8231 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal for an additional 20 years of the operating licenses for the Edwin I, Hatch Nuclear Plant (HNP), Units 1 and 2, located in southeastern Georgia, is proposed. The plant is jointly owned by Georgia Power Company, Oglethorpe Power Corporation, the Municipal Electrical Authority of Georgia, and the City of Dalton, Georgia. The 2,240-acre HNP site, which straddles the Altamaha River, is characterized by low-rolling sandy hills that are predominantly forested. Each unit employs a boiling-water reactor with steam-electric turbines and is rated at 2,436 megawatts-thermal (MW(t)) and designed for a power level corresponding to approximately 2,537 MW(t). HNP is licensed to operate at a maximum core thermal power output level of 2,763 MW(t). Each unit is rated for a net electrical output of 924 MW. The units are fueled by slightly-enriched uranium dioxide in the form of high-density ceramic pellets. Makeup water for the closed-loop cooling systems is withdrawn from the Altamaha River. Water is returned to the river via a submerged discharge structure. HNP uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems. Six transmission lines, extending a combined distance of 338 miles, connect the HNP to the regional transmission grid. The final generic EIS of May 1996 on the promulgation of rules for all license renewals identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant (the Southern Nuclear Operating Company) nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified any new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the Edwin I units in this draft supplement. If the license were renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power and other matters within the state's jurisdiction or the purview of the owners. This fourth supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals considers a No Action Alternative, the proposed action, and alternatives to license renewal. License renewal alternatives include coal-fired generation, gas-fired generation, imported electrical power, and other means of power generation. If the operating license were not renewed, Edwin I, Units 1 and 2, would be shut down on or before the expiration dates of the current licenses, which are August 6, 2014 and June 13, 2018, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the units would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The operation of HNP would continue to remove 57 million gallons per day of water from the Altamaha River and return makeup water to the river; the release of water to the river from the cooling system would result in a thermal plume, adversely affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. The refusal to renew the license and the subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater impacts than license renewal and the continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

The study provides insights from reported design-basis issues with respect to: (1) their causes, significant patterns within both the power reactor industry and power reactor systems, frequency trends, safety consequences, and risk significance; (2) the lessons that may be useful in assessing regulatory effectiveness of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) evolving inspection and plant performance assessment processes and the definition of plant design basis and; (3) regulatory burden implications related to NRC licensee event reporting requirements for design-basis issues. It is intended that the insights from this study assist NRC and industry ongoing efforts to make NRC's regulatory framework and oversight process more risk informed and performance-based and to reduce unnecessary regulatory burden.

NTIS Prices: PC ZZA1: 5/MF A03 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS REGARDING ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNIT 1, POPE COUNTY, ARKANSAS (THIRD DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 16349797; 8211 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal for an additional 20 years of the operating licenses for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 (ANO-1), located in northwestern Arkansas, is proposed. The final generic EIS of May 1996 on the promulgation of rules for all license renewals identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, known as Entergy Operations, Inc., nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. A total of 23 issues that apply to ANO-1 is addressed in this third draft supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the ANO-1 in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license were 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 were not renewed, ANO-1 would be shut down on or before the expiration of the current license, which is May 20, 2014. ANO-1 is located on 1,164 acres of land on a peninsula extending into Lake Dardanelle in a rural area in west-central Arkansas. The site is surrounded by an exclusion area with a radius of 0.7 mile. ANO is a two-unit facility. Both units are pressurized-water reactors. ANO-1 has a Babcock and Wilcox nuclear steam supply system rated for a net electrical power output of 850 megawatts (MW) and is operated at a maximum combined thermal power output level rated at 2,568 MW. ANO-1 began commercial operation in 1974. The unit's condensers utilize a once-through cooling system. Lake Dardanelle serves as the cooling water source. The reactor requires approximately 1,700 cubic feet per second of cooling water to condense steam during normal operation. ANO uses liquid, gaseous, and solid water processing systems to collect and treat radioactive materials produced as a by-product of operations. Power is delivered to the regional power grid via 191 miles of transmission lines, requiring 3,700 acres of rights-of-way. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewals for the plant unit would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The operation of ANO-1 would continue to remove 946 million gallons per day of water from Lake Dardanelle and return makeup water to the lake. The release of water to the lake from the once-through system results in a thermal plume, adversely affecting the aquatic ecosystem of the lake. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within accepted federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. The refusal to renew the license and the subsequent decommissioning of the plant could have greater adverse impacts than the license renewal and the continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

Results yielded 3750 plus or minus 426 mg kg super(-1) (45.2%) for As(V) and 3050 plus or minus 66 mg kg super(-1) (36.7%) for As(III) in the tailings. In the river-bed sediments, one spot yielded: As(III) 0 mg kg super(-1) (0%) and As(V) 1447 plus or minus 51 mg kg super(-1) (100%), whilst a second spot yielded: As(III) 0 mg kg super(-1) (0%) and As(V) 2976 plus or minus 51 mg kg super(-1) (100%). Using arsenic oxide standards, the recovery of As(III) and As(V) in the trioxide were 94.8 and 0.6% respectively. In a mixture of the two oxides, the recovery of As(III) was 87.6% with practically no interference from As(V). Total As content of the tailings was determined by neutron activation analysis (NAA) to be 8305 plus or minus 75 mg kg super(-1).

AN - 36406027; 8049 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a license to Private Fuel Storage LLC (PFS) for the construction and operation of an independent spent nuclear fuel (SNF) storage installation on the reservation of the Skull Valley Ban of Goshute Indians, located in Skull Valley in northwestern Utah, is proposed. The 820-acre site of the storage facility would be about 3.5 miles from the Skull Valley Band's village and 27 miles west-southwest of the community of Tooele. PFS is owned by eight power utilities, including Indiana-Michigan Power Company (American Electric Power), Consolidated Edison Company of New York, GPU Nuclear Corporation, Northern States Power company, Illinois Power Company, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Southern California Edison Company, and Genoa FuelTech, Inc. PFS has applied to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a license to receive, transfer, and possess SNF from commercial nuclear power plants at a privately-owned independent SNF storage installation for the purpose of storing the SNF. Issues identified in the scoping process include radiological impacts and human health and safety, socioeconomics, cultural resources and environmental justice, geology and seismicity, transportation, accidents, compliance with applicable regulations, air quality, hydrology, ecological resources, the need for the facility, and decommissioning. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, spent nuclear fuel would be transported by rail from existing reactor sites to Skull Valley. The facility would be designed to store up to 40,000 metric tons of uranium. Dry cask technology, providing for storage of spent fuel inside sealed metal canisters that would be loaded into steel and concrete storage casks to be placed on concrete pads, would be the method of storage. The Holtec HI-STORM dual-purpose canister-based cask system would be used. As many as 4,000 canisters inside individual storage casks would be used to store the spent fuel. Approximately 25 percent of the storage area would be provided during the first two-year phase of the project. Another 25 percent would be completed during a second phase, and the remainder of the storage area would be completed during the third phase. Ownership, and the ultimate responsibility for the facility, would lie in the hands of the members of PFS. To transport the spent fuel from the existing rail line in Skull Valley to the storage installation, a rail siding and a 32-mile rail line within a 200-foot right-of-way from Skunk Ridge to the reservation would be constructed. The facility would be licensed to operate for up to 20 years, and the license would be open for possible renewal. Three action alternatives located on the reservation and an alternative site in Freemont County, Wyoming, are also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would provide SNF storage for PFS members and allow continued operation of the nuclear reactors owned and operated by PFS members. The construction activities would provide employment for 255 persons during peak periods. The storage facility would generally contribute to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The facility would displace undeveloped rangeland and constitute a visual intrusion in the area. Approximately 232 acres would be cleared for the construction, of which 140 acres would be displaced for the life of the project. The rail line would require the initial clearance of 776 acres, of which 155 acres would be cleared for the life of the project. The rail line would cross 32 arroyos (i.e., gullies or gulches cut by streams with ephemeral flows). Construction of the rail line along the western edge of Skull Valley would adversely affect one cultural resource (i.e., the Hastings Cutoff Trail) that is considered eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places and could adversely affect historic resources of as yet undetermined quality within the project area. Air quality would be adversely affected temporarily. Construction of the PFS facility could adversely affect local traffic, including Skull Valley Road. Grazing resources would be adversely affected due to the disruption to and reduced availability of resources on two Bureau of Land Management grazing allotments.

The results indicate that phosphatic layers are characterized generally by high radioactive intensities (> 800 c.p.s.). The lithological section in the study area has very complex sedimentology, and is characterized by large facis variation in all directions. The Schlumberger geo-electrical configuration with fine separation of AB/2 was successfully applied to determine lithological boundaries and the resistivities of the layers of the lithological section especially for thin layers. It was shown that the phosphatic layer resistivities increase or decrease as a function of associated material. As a result, two types of phosphatic layers have been geo-electrically distinguished. The first is characterized by high resistivity and relatively low radioactivity, which could be related to the rock phosphatic layers. The second is characterized by low resistivity and high radioactivity, which could be related to the sandy phosphatic layers.

Results of Survey of NRC and Agreement State Materials Licensing and Inspection Personnel AN - 18337775; 5116282 AB - This project responded to NRC's Direction Setting Issue 12, Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Regulation. Its scope was limited to nuclear byproduct materials as defined in Section 11.e(1) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 and Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Section 30.4. 10 CFR Parts 30 thorugh 36 and 39 address regulation of those materials. The goal was to confirm and augment information on nuclear byproduct material systems obtained from other sources. The process involved (1) use of a list of nuclear byproduct material systems based on how the nuclear byproduct material was used, (2) a survey of NRC and Agreement State materials licensing and inspection personnel concerning typical annual doses to workers for the various systems, safety of each system under various conditions, the types and frequencies of incidents occurring at each system, definitions of safety, and opinions about the approrpiate bases for regulatory decision making, and (3) summarization of the respondent's answers to those questions.

But gauges that are improperly controlled during use and transfer can expose people to radiation and, upon entering the stream of recycled steel, can cause steel mills to spend millions of dollars to decontaminate equipment and dispose of contaminated materials. The risk to licensees and the recycling industries that nuclear gauges pose is incompletely understood. An analysis of fixed nuclear gauges was performed to study the risk to life and property, from facilities where the gauges are used to steel mills where the gauges might be melted.

These rates were used to provide historical records of the total organic content, major elements such as Al, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ba and Br and some trace metals (As, Cr, Pb, Zn and Cu) concentrations along the Syrian coast. High total organic content up to 52% was found near Banias City; the Banise oil refinery and oil export activities were identified to be the pollution source of that area. Down core concentration profiles of trace metals show an increase in the concentrations of As and Cr in the upper layers for some of the collected cores. The highest values measured for As and Cr were 186 and 380 ppm, respectively, which are much higher than the natural levels. These high levels may be due to discharges of chemical wastes either from ships or coastal factories. However, the data can be used as a base background level for a future marine monitoring program of the Syrian coast.

AN - 71048047; 10765959 AB - The possibility of detection of incipient cellular alterations is central to early diagnosis and to clinician's capacity to discriminate between samples that appear similar on routine preparations. We examined the value of silver-stained nucleolar organizer regions (AgNOR) in detecting radio-induced alterations in a model of squamous epithelium biologically similar to oral mucosa. Morphometry of AgNOR has been proven to be of value in the detection of incipient cellular alterations. This method allows for the quantitative evaluation of lesions induced by high doses of radiation long before they become apparent in routine preparations. We herein examine the capacity of AgNOR to reveal the response to low doses of radiation, closer to the therapeutic or accidental dose to which the epithelium of oral mucosa may be exposed.

AN - 70964621; 10715613 AB - International and US radiation protection standards are based upon risk assessment and risk management processes. The assessment of radiation risk is derived from the linear no-threshold (LNT) model. Risk management is based on more subjective value judgements. If the radiation dose-response was found to be hormetic, considerable quantitative data would be needed before current radiation protection standards would change. There would be added complexity, and consideration might have to be given to the additive effects of an individual's exposures to medical radiation and other potential carcinogens.

The report summarizes the processes of acquiring and using geological, geophysical, geotechnical, and other kinds of relevant information that support design considerations with respect to liquefaction hazard and that may affect the construction or performance of a building or other engineered structure at selected sites. A historical perspective is provided to define liquefaction phenomena observed during earthquakes and to support identification of soil characteristics associated with liquefaction. Guidance is presented for site characterization studies, including the various in situ tests available for liquefaction potential evaluation. Screening techniques are described for preliminary hazard assessment; progressively more detailed procedures are presented to provide for investigations that are judged necessary once screening procedures identify soils that may pose a hazard to important facilities. Deterministic procedures are treated in this report. JF - NUREG/CR (United States.

The addition of Cooperating National Facility (CNF) stations is one way to enhance location capability. The sites for such stations should be located so as to minimize the area of the 90% confidence-error ellipse. In this study, configurations of potential CNF stations in Israel are optimized, based on a representative set of seismic events. Appropriate total error variance comprised of model and measurement errors is estimated based on 1997 regional events. A genetic algorithm (GA) technique is used for the optimization. It is compared to the differential evolution (DE) technique and to random search (RS) and found superior but not by a great margin, which indicates that the optimization problem is not hard to solve. Configurations proposed by expert seismologists are compared to the computerized solution and are found inferior. Adding a few potential CNF stations in Jordan improves the location capability significantly.

AN - 72360354; 11051613 AB - The toxic effect of uranium in cultured preimplantation embryos of the mouse is presented. Embryos were obtained from hybrid females CBA x C57 BL following induction of superovulation and were incubated in M16 cultured medium. Two different experiments were performed. In one, embryos in a one-cell stage were placed in culture media with final concentrations of uranyl nitrate of 104 and 208 microg/mL during 120 h in the same dish. In the other experiment, embryos in a one-cell stage were placed in culture medium with uranyl nitrate with final U concentrations of 26, 52, 104, and 208 microg/mL. At 24 h, those embryos which had reached the two-cell stage were transferred to another culture dish to which fresh solutions with uranyl nitrate were added. The percentage of embryos in two-cell stage, morula, early blastocyst, expanded blastocyst, and hatched blastocyst were recorded at 24, 72, 96 and 120 h of culture. The results obtained showed that concentrations as from 26 microg U/mL induced the delay of embryo development and the impairment of blastomere proliferation. The toxic effect of uranium increased in those experiments in which the embryos were transferred to a new medium. This embryo-culture system appears to be appropriate to evaluate the toxic effect of uranium on embryos removed from maternal influences and represents a suitable test system for environmental pollutants.

AN - 70539498; 15211929 AB - The model of hamster cheek pouch carcinogenesis closely mimics the development of human oral cancer. The study of the interaction between chemical carcinogens and radiation in the process of oral carcinogenesis is of interest given that the oral cavity is frequently exposed to chemical carcinogens such as alcohol and tobacco and is the route of entry of therapeutic radiation. In this context, markers of incipient alterations associated to a process of malignant transformation would contribute to early diagnosis and follow-up. The aim of the present study was to assess the early changes produced by carcinogenic agents applied separately or combined in a two-stage carcinogenesis protocol in hamster cheek pouch. The cheek pouch of the hamsters was treated with a single dose of radiation (20 Gy) or 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) as initiating agents and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) as a promoting agent for 1 or 2 weeks. The end-points chosen to identify early alterations were hyperplastic foci and silver-stained nucleolar organizer regions (Ag NOR). The data show that both markers are useful in the detection of early alterations compatible with a process of malignant transformation.

We frame the ongoing debate on the origin of secondary mineralization in regulatory terms, answering the question of what happens next. Proposed regulations for high-level radioactive waste disposal at the candidate Yucca Mountain repository are based on a risk-informed, performance-based approach (10 CFR Part 63: FR, v. 64, 8640-8679). Compliance to a dose standard in the proposed regulation would be demonstrated through a performance assessment (PA). The PA, would need to include an evaluation of the probability and potential consequences on repository performance from thermal fluids invading the repository. First, the PA would need to identify the features, events and processes (FEPs) that might affect repository performance. In this case, periodic flooding of the repository by warm groundwater is the FEP. The probability of occurrence of the FEP would need to be determined. If flooding of the repository by warm groundwater has at least one chance in 10,000 of occurring over 10,000 years, then the PA would need to examine the consequences to performance of the geologic repository. Enhanced corrosion of waste packages, from exposure to the thermal waters, is one possible consequence. Finally, the PA would need to estimate the expected annual dose to the average member of the critical group as a result of releases from the geologic repository. The PA submitted by the U. S. Department of Energy in any potential license application would be required to assess the potential for this disruptive event scenario and evaluate the FEP, in detail, if the magnitude and time of the resulting expected annual dose would be significantly changed by its omission.

In this context, risk is defined as expected annual dose to the average member of the critical group who is expected to receive the greatest radiological-release exposure. Risk is estimated by multiplying the probability of an event by its associated radiological dose-consequence. Within this risk-informed approach, we conducted quantitative performance assessment studies of disruptive scenarios that included possible waste package (WP) rupture by faulting and seismicity-induced rockfall in emplacement drifts. Performance assessment models bounding the effects of faulting and rockfall were derived from current geological, hydrological and geophysical studies of YM, including a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment by the U. S. Department of Energy (the DOE). Preliminary calculations indicate that faulting within the candidate repository would be too infrequent and disrupt too few WPs, and rocks dislodged by earthquakes would generally be too small, to damage WPs to significantly affect expected annual dose. Thus, our preliminary calculations indicate that fault displacement and seismicity-induced rockfall are not expected to significantly affect risk.

The mineralogy, elemental distribution among individual phases, and textures within the slag have been characterized. Information regarding the resistance to weathering of each phase is essential for determining whether toxic elements might leach from the slag into adjacent soil or ground water. Such information is especially important for this slag, since it is radioactive. Macroscopically, the slag is dense, blocky, moderately vesiculated, and is pink-brown in color. The predominant phases include Al-Mg-Cr spinel, Mg-Fe spinel, perovskite, glass, thorianite, and Fe-rich spherules called prills. Th and Ta are preferentially partitioned into the thorianite and the perovskite. Mg-Fe spinel occurs as elongated dendrites that commonly bisect euhedral Al-Mg-Cr spinel crystals. The dendritic spinel preferentially weather out near the slag surfaces. The complete weathering of the dendritic Mg-Fe spinel persists at least 350 mu m into the slag fragments. There is a transition zone where intact dendrites trend into areas where the dendrites have completely weathered. Electron microprobe analyses indicate that near the edge of the slag, the Mg-Fe spinel has been replaced by small crystals of a Ca-Ti-Zr-Th phase. There are significant implications associated with the loss of the Mg-Fe spinel. The missing dendritic spinel enhances the porosity and permeability of the slag, and this is of concern for a slag containing U, Th, and other heavy metals. The weathering rate for the Mg-Fe spinel in the slag averages 7 mu m per year, assuming a constant weathering rate and a sample age of 50 years. This rate and other observations can be used to calculate the rate of heavy metal release to the environment. Observations on slag may be useful for studies evaluating the resistance to weathering of similar minerals in a setting such as a hazardous waste containment facility.

Proposed regulations (10 CFR Part 63) specify a farming community 20 km south of YM as the "critical group" at highest risk during the 10,000 yr regulatory period. Risk to this group from future volcanic events is affected primarily by (i) eruption characteristics, (ii) interactions between volatile-rich magma and repository tunnels, (iii) waste-package and waste behavior in igneous events, and (iv) changes in airborne concentrations of contaminated ash-particles through time. Our model assumes (i) the next YM eruption is violent strombolian in character, capable of relatively widespread tephra dispersal, (ii) the number of waste packages disrupted is related to the diameter of typical subvolcanic conduits, (iii) waste-package failure and waste fragmentation occur during basaltic eruptions, and (iv) initial airborne particle concentrations are 10 (super -3) to 10 (super -2) g/m (super 3) , decreasing exponentially through time to around 10 (super -4) g/m (super 3) . The most significant uncertainties exist for assumptions (ii) and (iv): Subvolcanic conduits may interact with modified stresses around repository tunnels, potentially entraining more waste than currently assumed. Remobilization of tephra by wind, water, and farming is poorly understood in the YM region but can greatly affect airborne concentrations of contaminated ash through time. Risk in any given year is formulated by summing the 10 (super -7) probability-weighted doses received by the critical group from (1) an eruption in that year, and (2) older fall deposits from an eruption in each prior year. Our model indicates that peak annualized risk occurs in the first 1,000 yr after repository closure at about 1 mrem/yr. Similar risk estimates for other pathways, such as groundwater transport of radionuclides, are estimated 10x-100x lower than this value. This work was supported by the U. S.

The xenolith suite has been classified by texture, mineralogy and chemistry into the following groups: (1) Type I metasomatised and dry Cr diopside xenoliths with protogranular to porphyroclastic textures; (2) Type II AI augite spinel and garnet pyroxenite and websterite which have igneous and/or porphyroclastic textures and abundant phlogopite and/or amphibole; (3) Cr-poor megacrysts; and (4) mafic lower crustal xenoliths. Estimates of Type I xenolith temperatures are 990-1070 degrees C with pressure between 13 and 19 kbar. Type II xenoliths yield temperatures of 930-1150 degrees C and pressures in the range 12-13 kbar. The lower crustal xenolith mineral assemblages and geothermometry based on coexisting minerals suggest equilibration conditions between 6 and 8 kbar and 820-905 degrees C. Mantle plumes, which may be the source of the volatile flux, have implications for melt generation in the Arabian basalt provinces. It is estimated that the lithosphere beneath the Arabian Plate is less than 80 km thick. Xenolith data and geophysical studies indicate that the Moho is located at a depth of 40-37 km and that the crust-mantle transition zone has a thickness of 8-5 km and occurs at a depth of 27-30 km. The boundary between an upper granitic crust and a lower mafic crust occurs at a depth of 19 km. Type I dry xenoliths show a low overall concentration of REE (La/Yb = 1-2 and Sm = 0.7-1.1 times chondrite), whereas Type I hydrous xenoliths are LREE enriched (La/Yb = 6-9 and Sm = 1.1-1.3 times chondrite). Type II xenoliths show high overall LREE enrichment. Petrological and geochemical data for the lower crustal xenoliths indicate that these xenoliths represent basaltic cumulates crystallised at lower crustal pressures.

This method is characterized by its big deep penetration, compared with the conventional surface geoelectrical methods and through boreholes. The proposed telluric method consists of measuring two telluric fields. The first one is horizontal and obtained at the surface using a reference line (E (sub EW) & E (sub NS) ). The second one is vertical (E (sub V) ) and obtained in the well between two mobile electrodes M and N. The ratio between the horizontal and vertical telluric fields (E (sub V) /E (sub EW) & E (sub V) /E (sub NS) ) is of interest in this research work. The application of this method at the Rouez Mine in France permits a location of several conductors not intersecting with the studied well No. 32. The presence of these conductors is approved by morphological and lithological description. The well-known macroanisotropy phenomenon is demonstrated in the studied area, where it has been found that longitudinal resistivity rho (sub EW) , obtained according to the reference line of EW direction is less than transverse resistivity rho (sub NS) , obtained according to the reference line of NS direction. A wide telluric anomaly at the depth of 140 m has been detected, which could be related to an equivalent conductor sphere. The horizontal distance between this conductor and well No. 32 is estimated to be 70 m. The new telluric configuration is important in mining prospecting, since its application decreases considerably the well number needed for the detecting of spread conductors and gives rapidly an idea about the distribution of the conductors in the plan. More tests at the theoretical and practical levels are still needed to make this configuration adapted and easily used in geophysical prospecting. JF - Journal of King Abdulaziz University.

The NRC staff has evaluated the role and applicability of geophysical techniques at three research field locations involving unsaturated, heterogeneous soils and fractured rock. The techniques evaluated included: (1) electroresistive tomography (ERT) to assess water flow through unsaturated, heterogeneous soils and fractured rock, to identify fracture aperture sizes that contribute to water migration and rapid fluxes, and to image three-dimensional resistivity within the zone bounded by the boreholes; (2) surface electromagnetic induction (EM) to detect changes in the apparent electrical conductivities from which water content changes can be inferred; and (3) multi-sensor capacitance probes (MCP) to determine temporal and spatial resolution of infiltration, deep percolation, and ground-water recharge in shallow heterogeneous soils. Specifics of the geophysical techniques and surveys used at the three sites are discussed and evaluated in the context of environmental risk assessments involving radionuclide transport.

The agency succeeded the Atomic Energy Commission, which previously had responsibility for both developing and regulating nuclear activities. Federal research and development work for all energy sources, as well as nuclear weapons production, is now conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy. Under its responsibility to protect public health and safety, the NRC has three principal regulatory functions: (1) establish standards and regulations; (2) issue licenses for nuclear facilities and users of nuclear materials; and (3) inspect facilities and users of nuclear materials to ensure compliance with the requirements.

Concentrations in sea fish were found to vary between 0.27 and 27.48 Bq kg super(-1) fresh wt and 0.05-0.38 Bq kg super(-1) fresh wt for super(210)Po and super(210)Pb, respectively. On the other hand, in fresh water fish, the concentrations were relatively low and varied between 0.61 and 3.08 Bq kg super(-1) fresh wt for super(210)Po and 0.04 to 0.10 Bq kg super(-1) fresh wt for super(210)Pb. These variations in super(210)Po and super(210)Pb content in different species are due to differences in metabolism and feeding patterns. However, the highest levels were observed in Euthynnus alletteratus and Sardinella sp collected from different markets. The daily levels of intake due to fish consumption containing super(210)Po and super(210)Pb were calculated and found to be 6.0 and 0.24 mBq respectively, which are much lower than those reported in other countries. In addition, the collective doses were found to be 5.09 and 2.93 man.Sv for super(210)Po and super(210)Pb respectively. This suggests that the dose received by Syrians due to consumption of sea and river fish is rather small.

Measurements were performed using a high-resolution gamma spectrometer. Independent of location, the data show that the activity concentration for super(226)Ra and super(232)Th increases in the order: soil > spoil heap > ore. This order basically confirms that the activity levels in the spoil heap are low relative to natural background (i.e. soil samples), and thus the expected contribution in enhancement of natural background radiation is correspondingly low. The concept of concentration ratio (CR) has been applied to quantify the degree of accumulation of radionuclides in the solid waste (heap). The calculated CR values revealed that super(232)Th is most accumulated while there is no accumulation of super(40)K.The absorbed dose rates in air at a height of 1 m as estimated using DRCF from activities of super(241)Pb, super(214)Bi, super(212)Pb, super(228)Ac, super(208)Tl and super(40)K ranges from 6.6 to 32.3 nGy.h super(-1) (Adassedakh), and 2.2 to 26.1 nGy.h super(-1) (Hadal Auatib). The principal contributors to the total dose rate are super(40)K, super(214)Bi and super(228)Ac which generate almost 90%. The corresponding annual effective doses fall within the range: 0.04-0.20 mSv.y super(-1) for Adassedakh and 0.01-0.16 mSv.y super(-1) for Hadal Auatib. Although, these estimates do not include the internal radiation burden due to inhalation of radon and its decay products, the values obtained are insignificant relative to the dose limit specified for occupational exposure of any worker.

This service provides film badges to about 7500 workers all over the country on a monthly basis. Dose summaries were recorded and processed by the Dose Registry Information System, the database of which has been totally renewed since 1994. The statistical analysis provided refers to and deals with the mean annual dose, the collective dose, the distribution of the dose over the different specialities and the number of workers that have exceeded any of the established dose levels. Results concerning the annual dose summaries demonstrate a decrease in the collective and the mean individual dose to workers in the year 1995 and a slight but steady year-by-year increase thereafter during the period under consideration. This increasing tendency is discussed along with the increase in the ionising radiation applications, especially those in the medical sector, the change of the positioning of the film badge and the quality control measures provided by Greek law for radiation laboratories.

AN - 16355553; 7732 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal by Duke Energy Corporation of the operating licenses for Oconee Nuclear Station Units 1, 2, and 3 for an additional 20 years, located in northwestern South Carolina, is proposed. The final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals 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. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the Oconee units in this supplement to the final EIS. The Oconee plant lies on a 510-acre site located approximately eight miles northeast of Seneca. Each unit is equipped with a nuclear steam supply system manufactured by Babcock and Wilcox that uses a pressurized light-water reactor and once-through cooling with water drawn from Lake Keowee. The plant design includes radioactive and nonradioactive waste management systems. The electricity generated is transferred to switchyards located at the Oconee site. Each unit is rated at 846 megawatts (MW) net power, providing a combined station power generating capacity of 2,538 MW. Electricity generated by the plant, which can supply the needs of more than 730,000 homes, is delivered by 330 miles of transmission lines requiring 7,800 acres of land for rights-of-way. This supplemental EIS evaluates all 92 environmental issues considered in the generic EIS. Alternatives to license renewal include the No Action Alternative and alternative energy sources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The license renewals for the Oconee plant would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The entrainment and impingement of fish resulting from operation the plant's once-through cooling system would cause some fish mortality. The operation of the cooling system could also result in the breeding of pathogenic microbiological organisms, but the threat to human health would be slight. The continued maintenance of transmission lines associated with the plant would require the application of herbicides and other plant control activities, which would adversely affect vegetation within floodplains and wetlands, and result in bird collisions with power lines. The plant operation would result in releases of small amounts of radioactivity to the public and slightly more significant levels to plant workers. Accidents would result in releases of larger amounts of radioactivity.

AN - 70834521; 10515584 AB - It has been reported in vitro that during the respiratory burst of phagocytic cells the superoxide anion production per cell shows a negative relation with the cell density. This process has been described as autoregulation. The aim of this work was to analyze the superoxide anion production in thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophage exudates to evaluate the importance of the peritoneal cavity environment in the autoregulation process. 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (PMA) was used to stimulate the respiratory burst and superoxide anion production was measured evaluating the intracellular formazan deposits that precipitate as a result of nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction. We have demonstrated a negative correlation between superoxide anion production and cell density in the peritoneal cavity in macrophages challenged with PMA. The response of individual cells was analyzed by means of an image analyzer, measuring the amount of formazan per cell and cell-size changes during the process of activation. The results revealed that the decrease in individual cell response as a function of higher cell densities were due to a significant increase in the amount of basal reaction macrophages. Concomitantly, the number of reactive cells remained unchanged irrespective of the cell density of the population. A direct correlation between cell size and superoxide anion production was observed. This phenomenon was demonstrated in SENCAR and Balb/c strains. However, macrophages from SENCAR mice showed greater superoxide anion production than those from Balb/c. The differences between strains could be associated to the increased sensitivity to PMA tumor promotion of SENCAR mice. Based on this property, macrophages from SENCAR mice were stimulated with opsonized zymosan, a particulate stimulus that reflects the interaction macrophage-microorganism during the phagocytic process. This data will contribute to the knowledge of infection control. We conclude that variations in basal reaction cells modulates the macrophage activation response when excess macrophages are recruited to the peritoneum. This is demonstrated using different stimuli, thus suggesting that this response may be applied to a wide variety of stimuli-macrophage interactions.

AN - 69291124; 10568288 AB - Organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were determined in sediments and clams collected from the coast of the north of Vietnam during the rainy season (August-September 1997). Results show that the organochlorine pesticides of major concern are HCHs (1.2-33.7 ng g-1 dry wt.), DDTs (6.2-10.4 ng g-1 dry wt.) and HCB (0.1-6.5 ng g-1 dry wt.). PCBs, in aroclor 1254 equivalents, were also generally present in concentrations ranging from 0.47 to 28.1 ng g-1 sediment dry wt. Concentrations measured in the soft tissues of clams (Meretrix meretrix) generally reflect the level of contamination at the sampling sites. In the clams, the concentrations of DDTs (12.0-23.3 ng g-1 dry wt.) and PCBs (5.1-25.3 ng g-1 dry wt.) were generally higher than those of other chlorinated hydrocarbons. These results underscore the need to improved environmental protection measures in order to reduce the exposure of the population to these persistent and bioaccumulative compounds through food ingestion.

The rule became effective on July 10, 1996, giving nuclear power plant licensees 5 years to implement it. During 1994-1995, NRC staff visited nine nuclear power plant sites to observe licensees' preparations for implementation of the rule. The teams found that most of the licensees had not established goals, or performance criteria for monitoring structures at their sites. The licensees contended that the structures were inherently reliable and required no monitoring under the maintenance rule. On the basis of earlier site visits performed by NRC staff to assess the condition of structures, the NRC staff could not accept this contention, and clarified its position in Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 1.160, 'Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants'. This paper discusses the applicability of the maintenance rule criteria for structures and its usefulness in ensuring that the structures, systems, and components within the scope of the maintenance rule are capable of fulfilling their intended functions. Also discussed are the aspects of maintenance rule efforts that could be useful for license renewal applications.

These tests were carried out in a scaled representation of a reactor vessel which was initially filled with saturated water up to the elevation of the hot legs. Depressurization valves installed on take-off lines from the hot legs were opened and level swell ensued in the reactor vessel initiating a two-phase blowdown. This was followed by subsequent single-phase discharge transient which in some cases led to core uncovery. A combined model encompassing the two-phase and single-phase discharge portions of the transient is proposed. The inventory-versus-pressure traces obtained from the model compare well with the experimental results. These traces are discussed as bounding trajectories for a large class of small break loss of coolant accident (LOCA) transients which otherwise must be considered individually.

AN - 36411518; 7562 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an addendum to the rules promulgated for the renewal of nuclear power plant operating licenses is proposed. The addendum addresses the transportation of spent nuclear fuel in the vicinity of a single high-level waste repository and summarizes analyses undertaken to determine whether impacts of the transportation of higher enrichment and higher burn-up spent nuclear fuel are consistent with regulatory values. This generic supplemental EIS addresses two questions generically. The first question is whether presently considered environmental impact values would still be appropriate for use in license renewal reviews if spent fuel were transported to a single destination, such as the candidate repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, even though the values were developed from data reflecting spent fuel shipments to several destinations. The analysis concludes that cumulative impacts of SNF transport to a single repository would be small for all plants shipping spent fuel with characteristics specified in the appropriate regulatory rule. The second question is whether the presently considered environmental impact values would continue to be appropriate for use in license renewal reviews given that applicants would be shipping spent fuel that was more highly enriched and irradiated longer than is accounted for in the analysis used to develop current standards. The analysis covered incident-free transportation and transportation involving hypothetical accidents causing release of radionuclides. The impacts considered with respect to both questions cover the presently considered values as well as values for spent fuel enriched up to five percent uranium-235 with average burn-up for the peak rod to current levels approved by the regulatory regime up to 62,000 megawatt-days/metric tons uranium. POSITIVE IMPACTS: While allowing for the continued generation of power for industrial, commercial, and residential consumers, the license renewal rules, including those for transportation of waste covered in this EIS, would ensure safe operation of the affected nuclear facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Accidental spills of transported nuclear wastes could have greater health effects on transportation workers and the public. Very slight risks of exposure to radionuclides would be present for crews employed in transporting the wastes. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

Most of the phosphate processed ore is exported in large quantities via one of the Syrian ports (Tartous) situated on the east part of the Mediterranean Sea (34 degree 54 N, 35 degree 52 E). Load activities into ships have been carried out for more than 20 years. Dust carrying radioactivity elevated and transported to the surroundings; most of the port area is affected. The impact of these loading activities on the marine environment has been evaluated. super(210)Po and other natural radionuclides in seawater, sediment and marine organisms have been determined. Sampling work was executed on the 22 of October 97 where surface sediments and sea water (50 1), fish and algae samples were collected from different sites inside and outside the port (Fi1).

The results indicated that gamma irradiation or urea treatments increased the digestible energy values significantly (P < 0.05) and these were attributed to the increases IVOMD and decreases cell-wall constituents of treated samples. The experimental agricultural by-products do not respond to the treatments in the same amount in increasing the IVOMD. There was no significant effect of irradiation and urea treatments on GE. Combined treatments had slightly less effect in increasing IVDE as the addition of both effects. The treatment of 200 kGy and 5% urea resulted in a larger increase in the digestible energy and a better effect by reducing the concentration of the cell-wall constituents even more than what occurred using a single treatment. However, the combination of irradiation with urea treatments could reduce the applied irradiation doses for increasing the IVDE in some studied agricultural by-products.

The activity present in lakes and streams depends on the nature of the bedrock or sediment, the presence of faulting, the degree of turbulence, and the supply of fresh water from tributaries and ground waters. Radium-226 and uranium-238 activities were found to be comparable but in no case was it found that radon-222 is significantly supported by dissolved radium-226.

AN - 36412700; 7425 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal for an additional 20 years of the operating licenses for Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3, located in northwestern South Carolina, is proposed. The final generic EIS of May 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 68 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining issues, and these are addressed with respect to the Oconee units in this supplement to the final EIS. The Oconee plant lies on a 510-acre site located approximately eight miles northeast of Seneca. Each unit is equipped with a nuclear steam supply system manufactured by Babcock and Wilcox that uses a pressurized light-water reactor and once-through cooling with water drawn from Lake Keowee. The plant design includes radioactive and nonradioactive waste management systems. The electricity generated is transferred to switchyards located at the Oconee site. Each unit is rated at 846 megawatts (MW) net power, providing a combined station power generating capacity of 2,538 MW. Electricity generated by the plant, which can supply the needs of more than 730,000 homes, is delivered by 330 miles of transmission lines requiring 7,800 acres of land for rights-of-way. This supplemental EIS evaluated all 92 environmental issues considered in the generic EIS. Alternatives to license renewal include a No Action Alternative and alternative energy sources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The license renewals for the Oconee plant would allow for power generation capacity beyond the term of the current nuclear power plant operating license, thereby meeting future system generation needs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The entrainment and impingement of fish resulting from the operation the plant's once-through cooling system would cause some fish mortality. The operation of the cooling system could also result in the breeding of pathogenic microbiological organisms, but the threat to human health would be slight. The continued maintenance of transmission lines associated with the plant would require the application of herbicides and other plant control activities, which would adversely affect vegetation within floodplains and wetlands, and result in bird collisions with power lines. The plant operation would result in the release of small amounts of radioactivity to the public and slightly more significant levels to plant workers. Accidents would result in releases of larger amounts of radioactivity.

AN - 36411240; 7368 AB - PURPOSE: The reclamation of an existing uranium mill tailings pile by Atlas Corporation at its uranium mill site, located near Moab in eastern Utah, is proposed. The mill ceased operating in 1984 and is being dismantled. The 10.5- million-ton, 130-acre mill tailings pile needs to be reclaimed for long-term disposal. Issues identified during the scoping process focus on the site's location on the Colorado River floodplain near the town of Moab and the Arches National Park. Contaminated materials are currently escaping the tailings pile at low rates, and tailings leachates are slowly diffusing downward into groundwater, some of which moves horizontally and enters the Colorado River. In addition, radioactive gas slowly escapes the tailings pile and enters the air. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 2), under which the NRC would make no licensing decision and Atlas would cease operations involving the management of the tailings (this is not considered a viable alternative), are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would require an amendment to Atlas's license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The amendment would enable Atlas to stabilize the tailings pile for permanent disposal in its current location at the Moab site, place the site under the long-term custodial care of the federal government, and prepare the site for closure. Under the proposal, the side slopes would be reduced to 30 percent or less to minimize the effects of erosion and possible earthquakes. Also, an earth and rock cover system would be installed over the pile to minimize radon escape, the infiltration of rain water into the tailings, the infiltration of tailings contaminants into groundwater, and tailings erosion potentially caused by surface runoff and flooding of the Colorado River and a nearby ephemeral channel known as Moab Wash. Earth and cover materials would be obtained from several possible borrow sites nearby. Following the reclamation, future commercial reuse of roughly half of the site would be precluded. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the contaminated material at the site would be stabilized and solidified, which would substantially reduce risks to the environment and to human health. The reclamation would minimize the risks from these contamination routes of contaminated material tailings and radioactive gas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: After reclamation, tailings leachates would continue to enter the Colorado River but at a much slower rate than currently; these leachates would have a slight adverse effect on aquatic biota.

First, the overall philosophy of risk-informed decision-making, and the process framework are described. The philosophy is encapsulated in five principles, one of which states that, if the proposed change leads to an increase in core damage frequency or risk, the increases must be small and consistent with the intent of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Safety Goal Policy Statement. The second part of the paper discusses the use of PRA to demonstrate that this principle has been met. The discussion focuses on the acceptance guidelines, and on comparison of the PRA results with those guidelines. The difficulties that arise because of limitations in scope and analytical uncertainties are discussed and approaches to accommodate these difficulties in the decision-making are described.

AN - 36414418; 7314 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission of Baltimore Gas & Electric Company's operating licenses for the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP), located in southern Maryland, is proposed. The renewal period would be 20 years. The CCNPP is located on a 2,108-acre site approximately 40 miles southwest of Washington, District of Columbia, 7.5 miles north of Solomons Island, and 60 miles south of Baltimore. Approximately 220 acres were altered for siting of the plant and auxiliary structures. The plant has two pressurized light-water reactors, each having a design rating for net electrical power output of 845 megawatts (MW). The plant cooling is provided by a once-through heat dissipation system into the Chesapeake Bay using shoreline intake and offshore discharge structures. The CCNPP provides 12 million MW-hours of electricity annually to more than 1.0 million customers in a 2,300-square-mile area. The current operating licenses for Unit 1 and Unit 2 expires on July 31, 2014 and August 13, 2016, respectively. This generic EIS contains the results of a systematic evaluation of the consequences of renewing the operating license and operating a nuclear power plant for an additional 20 years. It evaluates 92 environmental issues using a three-level standard of significance (small, moderate, and large) based on guidelines established by the Council on Environmental Quality. A total of 68 issues were classified as small, while the remainder were classified as moderate. The alternatives to license renewal under consideration include a No Action Alternative, under which the CCNPP operating licenses would not be renewed, and other methods of power generation. The alternative power generation methods include coal-fired generation and gas-fired generation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The license renewal would ensure the applicant's ability to meet future generating system needs. The CCNPP would continue to provide work for 1,550 persons from surrounding communities; it constitutes the major area employer. The employment at the plant could increase by 60 jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Assuming the current pumping rate, the additional drawdown of water at an offsite well during the license renewal term associated with CCNPP operations would be less than five feet. The continued operation of CCNPP would result in continued loss of fish and shellfish due to entrainment in and impingement on intake structures; however, monitoring studies have demonstrated that these losses do not represent an irreversible or irretrievable commitment of resources. The increase in employment rolls could result in an increase of up to four percent in demand for housing and less than one percent in water demand and local traffic levels.

Preparation date: February 25, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Molecular biology, epidemiology, and the demise of the linear no-threshold (LNT) hypothesis. AN - 69683015; 10196673 AB - The prime concern of radiation protection policy since 1959 has been protecting DNA from damage. The 1995 NCRP Report 121 on collective dose states that since no human data provides direct support for the linear no threshold hypothesis (LNT), and some studies provide quantitative data that, with statistical significance, contradict LNT, ultimately, confidence in LNT is based on the biophysical concept that the passage of a single charged particle could cause damage to DNA that would result in cancer. Current understanding of the basic molecular biologic mechanisms involved and recent data are examined before presenting several statistically significant epidemiologic studies that contradict the LNT hypothesis. Over eons of time a complex biosystem evolved to control the DNA alterations (oxidative adducts) produced by about 10(10) free radicals/cell/d derived from 2-3% of all metabolized oxygen. Antioxidant prevention, enzymatic repair of DNA damage, and removal of persistent DNA alterations by apoptosis, differentiation, necrosis, and the immune system, sequentially reduce DNA damage from about 10(6) DNA alterations/cell/d to about 1 mutation/cell/d. These mutations accumulate in stem cells during a lifetime with progressive DNA damage-control impairment associated with aging and malignant growth. A comparatively negligible number of mutations, an average of about 10(-7) mutations/cell/d, is produced by low LET radiation background of 0.1 cGy/y. The remarkable efficiency of this biosystem is increased by the adaptive responses to low-dose ionizing radiation. Each of the sequential functions that prevent, repair, and remove DNA damage are adaptively stimulated by low-dose ionizing radiation in contrast to their impairment by high-dose radiation. The biologic effect of radiation is not determined by the number of mutations it creates, but by its effect on the biosystem that controls the relentless enormous burden of oxidative DNA damage. At low doses, radiation stimulates this biosystem with consequent significant decrease of metabolic mutations. Low-dose stimulation of the immune system may not only prevent cancer by increasing removal of premalignant or malignant cells with persistent DNA damage, but used in human radioimmunotherapy may also completely remove malignant tumors with metastases. The reduction of gene mutations in response to low-dose radiation provides a biological explanation of the statistically significant observations of mortality and cancer mortality risk decrements, and contradicts the biophysical concept of the basic mechanisms upon which, ultimately, the NCRPs confidence in the LNT hypothesis is based.

AN - 69561527; 9930835 AB - In the 1920's, reports of radium sources entering the public domain in an uncontrolled manner began to appear in the press and in the literature. Additionally, gold jewelry was made from depleted radon gold seeds which, in some cases, resulted in radiation injuries to the persons wearing the jewelry. Such jewelry was made as early as 1910. For many years, radium was distributed and used largely without regulatory oversight for safety. In the 1950's, increasing concern over the radiation hazards associated with the inadequate use, control, and disposal of radium sources resulted in increased regulatory oversight by the States, with significant assistance from the U.S. Public Health Service. In 1958, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission staff proposed extension of the general license concept to include measuring, gauging, and controlling devices. Since then, more than 1.8 million radioactive devices have been distributed under the general licenses in 10 CFR Part 31.5 and equivalent Agreement State regulations. These devices are typically used with minimal regulatory oversight. In recent years there has been an increasing number of reports of radioactive sources and devices appearing in the public domain as a result of inadequate control and disposal of these items with attendant risk of environmental contamination and radiation exposure. As a result of concerns over these developments there have been calls for increased regulatory oversight of general licensees. It is ironic that the present problems are the result of a program that was established about the time that States were increasing regulatory oversight over radium to address similar problems with radium.

The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has developed the TPA code to quantitatively evaluate the soundness of the safety case that could be made by the DOE in its potential License Application for the proposed Yucca Mountain, Nevada, repository. The TPA code is designed to estimate total-system performance measures of annual individual dose or risk and is developed through iterative performance assessment activities. The code is designed to simulate the behavior of the geologic repository, taking into account the essential characteristics of the natural and engineered barrier systems, as well as changes in knowledge about the geologic setting and design. A combination of an executive driver, a set of consequence modules, and a library of utility modules form the TPA code. The executive driver controls the probabilistic sampling of input parameters, the sequence of calculations and data transfers among the consequence modules, and the generation of output files. Consequence models simulate physical processes and events such as unsaturated zone infiltration, evolution of the near-field thermal-hydrologic environment, failure of waste packages, dissolution and release of waste, transport of waste in the groundwater system, extraction of groundwater, and consumption of groundwater which, if contaminated, could expose future populations to radiation. The TPA code is designed to calculate the effects of disruptive events such as faulting, seismicity, and volcanism. The various output files are used in parameter, process-level, and system-level sensitivity and uncertainty analyses. Sensitivity and uncertainty analyses have been conducted to: (i) determine the parameters that have the most influence on repository performance; (ii) estimate the relative importance of the different model abstractions; (iii) focus NRC staff reviews of the DOE TSPAs; and (iv) continue improving NRC staff capabilities in performance assessment (NUREG-1688, Vol. 2, NRC, 1999).

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers and derivatives of p,p -DDT were identified in all samples. Aldrin, dieldrin, endrin and heptachlor could not be detected in any of the samples. The high concentrations of HCH, DDT and HCB suggested that these compounds were continuing to be used. The highest concentrations corresponded to the estuary of the Ca Long river. In clams, levels of DDT and PCB were generally higher than those of the other chlorinated hydrocarbons studied.

These radionuclides were also determined in some plant samples of Lycopodium cernuum L. growing on trees on these sites. The activity concentrations of the radionuclides in the soils at the top of the mountains were higher than those on the slopes. At one of the sites, the activity concentrations of super(137)Cs, super(134)Cs and super(90)Sr were 4933, 139 and 194 Bq/kg dry weight, respectively, the super(137)Cs concentration corresponding to about 400 times that on the slope. The difference in the activity concentrations between the tops and the slopes of the mountains could be attributed to the direct contact between the Chernobyl radioactive clouds and the tops of these mountains. The activity concentrations of these radionuclides in some Lycopodium cernuum L. plant samples were 4535, 114 and 133 Bq/kg dry weight, respectively.

Performance of medical fluoroscopic X ray systems in Greece AN - 17216873; 4494483 AB - The results from a survey in 297 (46 % of the total) fluoroscopic X ray facilities in the private sector in Greece are presented. Certain fluoroscopic parameters for under-table tube and remote control over-table tube fluoroscopic systems have been evaluated, according to a specific quality control protocol and compared with acceptance limits. The results show that the overall performance of the fluoroscopic systems is below optimal, since only 55.5% of the fluoroscopic systems performed satisfactorily and in compliance with the radiation protection regulations. Remote control over-table tube fluoroscopic systems had much better performance characteristics than under-table tube systems, with respect to patient dose and image quality. A system of routine servicing as well as implementation of quality control on a regular basis are believed substantially to reduce variation from the normal performance and system malfunctioning.

Performance of medical radiographic X ray systems in Greece AN - 17216053; 4494482 AB - This is the first of two papers on the assessment of medical conventional radiological X ray systems at the private sector in Greece. This paper presents the quality control results of radiographic X ray systems, while the quality control results of fluoroscopic X ray systems will be presented in a forthcoming paper. A total number of 387 privately owned (48% of the total installed in Greece) radiographic X ray facilities were surveyed during the period 1995 - 1997. Certain important radiographic parameters have been assessed according to a quality control protocol and the measured parameter values are compared to the relevant acceptance limits. The results show that the overall performance of the radiographic X ray systems is below optimal since only 36% of them have satisfactory performance in full compliance with the radiation protection regulations. The X ray systems installed recently, show better performance than those operating for some years. This can be attributed to the recent calibration and the performance of acceptance tests and quality control. Routine servicing as well as implementation of quality control on a regular basis will, it is believed, substantially improve the performance and reduce malfunctioning of the X ray systems.

The activity concentrations, Ra equivalent activities, representative level index values for all samples and the effective dose equivalents due to the intake of the above-mentioned radionuclides in limestone and powdered lime by the adult group were estimated. The mean activity concentrations of super(232)Th, super(226)Ra and super(40)K were 60.8, 60.2 and 928 Bq kg super(-1), respectively for limestone, 107, 68.0 and 1660 Bq kg super(-1), respectively, for powdered lime and 83.0, 31.0 and 972 Bq kg super(-1), respectively, for by-product lime. For cement, the mean activity concentrations of super(232)Th, super(226)Ra and super(40)K were observed to be 54.3, 29.7 and 523 Bq kg super(-1), respectively. The presence of super(137)Cs was not detectable in any of the studied samples. The measured average activities of super(232)Th, super(226)Ra and super(40)K for all samples were relatively higher than the world typical values except for super(226)Ra in cement and by-product lime. The calculated mean Ra equivalent values for limestone, powdered lime, by-product lime and cement were 219, 349, 224 and 148 Bq kg super(-1), respectively. The corresponding representative level index values were found to be 1.63, 2.63, 1.68 and 1.09, respectively.

AN - 70084629; 9827507 AB - Intoxication with uranium induces severe alterations in kidneys and in acute intoxications inhibits bone formation and bone growth. Administered at high doses, uranium leads to death, an event that can be prevented by the administration of ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1 biphosphonate (EHBP), which would presumably exert its effect via its chelating properties. Based on this information, the aim of the present study was to determine the best therapeutic method for treatment using biphosphonates to prevent mandibular growth alterations in animals that survive uranyl nitrate poisoning. Seven groups of Wistar rats weighing 14 g were used as follows: I, untreated control; II, one intraperitoneal injection (IPI) of 2 mg Kg(-1) of body weight of uranyl nitrate (238U). In groups III to VII animals were intoxicated as in Group II and in addition were given a single injection of 10 mg Kg(-1) of ethane-1-hydroxy-1, 1-biphosphonate (EHBP), or 3-amine-1, 1-hydroxypropylene-1, 1 biphosphonate (APD) as follows; Group III, IPI of EHBP given immediately after poisoning (0 h); IV, IPI of EHBP given at 24 h; V, subcutaneous injection (SCI) of EHBP at 0 h; VI, SCI of EHBP at 48 h; VII SCI of APD at 0 h. Survivors were killed on the sixtieth day. Body weight increase, survival rate, and biometric parameters of mandibular growth (Eratalay's method) were studied. Student's "t" test was used for statistical analysis. On day 60 there was only one survivor in Group II and none in Group IV. All animals in the other groups survived. Mandibular growth parameters showed the worst results in Group VII and the best in Group V for which no difference with the controls was observed. These results show that a single subcutaneous injection of EHBP given immediately after uranium poisoning, apart from preventing death, is capable of preventing undesirable alterations in mandibular growth.

AN - 69149408; 9915643 AB - Radioactive materials have been used in Ghana for more than four decades. Radioactive waste generated from their applications in various fields has been managed without adequate infrastructure and any legal framework to control and regulate them. The expanded use of nuclear facilities and radiation sources in Ghana with the concomitant exposure to human population necessitates effective infrastructure to deal with the increasing problems of waste. The Ghana Atomic Energy Act 204 (1963) and the Radiation Protection Instrument LI 1559 (1993) made inadequate provision for the management of waste. With the amendment of the Atomic Energy Act, PNDCL 308, a radioactive waste management centre has been established to take care of all waste in the country. To achieve the set objectives for an effective waste management regime, a waste management regulation has been drafted and relevant codes of practice are being developed to guide generators of waste, operators of waste management facilities and the regulatory authority.

This paper presents a tutorial on Bayesian parameter estimation especially relevant to PRA. It summarizes the philosophy behind these methods, approaches for constructing likelihood functions and prior distributions, some simple but realistic examples, and a variety of cautions and lessons regarding practical applications. References are also provided for more in-depth coverage of various topics.

AN - 69196907; 10211064 AB - In Ghana's healthcare system there are about 4200 people to each physician. The annual frequency of X-ray examinations during the period 1990 to 1996 ranges from six to 11 per thousand population. Chest radiograph examinations account for 46.5% of the annual frequency. The survey revealed that there are no established acceptance testing procedures for newly installed X-ray equipment. Neither institutional level performance checks following major repairs of faulty equipment, nor routine checks at regular intervals to ensure self-consistency of equipment performance are conducted. The results of the film retake analysis undertaken indicates a need for quality assurance programmes to be taken seriously to avert considerable cost and high patient doses. Radiographers and X-ray-technical officers who physically perform X-ray examinations should receive adequate training in the selection of procedures so as to ensure that doses to patients are as low as reasonably practicable in order to achieve the desired diagnostic objective.

The objective was to explore for uranium and to define its dispersion pattern. This was based on ground radiometric surveys and geological studies. All ground surveys (using radon emanometry, track etching, gamma-ray survey and geochemistry) gave similar results, outlining the locations of the radioactive phosphatic formations in the basin, and indicating the dispersion pattern of uranium in the clastic sediments in the surrounding area. The dispersal of uranium from upper Cretaceous phosphatic formation occurs by mechanical weathering and chemical leaching by oxidizing surface waters. A rough estimate is that about one-third of the original uranium content of the Cretaceous sediments has been dispersed. Mechanical erosion is responsible for the main part of this released uranium, which now occurs in Recent sediments. However, the occurrences of spotty secondary U mineralization indicates that another small part of the available uranium must have been chemically leached out by the prevailing oxidizing waters, forming minor surficial minerals.

One of the NRC's tasks is to ensure the safety and health of workers and the public from exposure to ionizing radiation from the use of those nuclear materials regulated under the Atomic Energy Act. The task of ensuring safety requires the NRC to take two actions. The first is to determine the risk from exposure to ionizing radiation while the second is to establish the acceptability of the risk. We can refer to these as risk assessment and risk management and they should not be confused. Risk assessment tends to be more objective and scientific while risk management is value laden and strongly affected by societal and ethical views.

The results indicated that there was a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in values of NDF and ADF (by 7%), CF and IVDCP (by 13%), and N (by 16%), and a significant increase in the values of IVOMD (by 12%) and IVDE (by 630 kJ/kg DM) as a result of drying (D1) in comparison with drying (D2). A significant (P < 0.05) decrease was observed in the values of NDF and ADF (by 6%), CF (by 12%) and a significant increase in the values of IVOMD (by 13%) and IVDE (by 980 kJ/kg DM) as a result of gamma irradiation treatment (100 kGy) in comparison to the control sample. There was no significant difference between doses (100 kGy and 150 kGy). Gamma irradiation had no effect on N, ADL and IVDCP values. Combined treatment (D1 + 100 kGy) resulted in a better effect in reducing the concentrations of CF, NDF and ADF and in increasing the values of IVOMD and IVDE.

At least nine events are evident, beginning 37 ka. We study in detail the frequency-magnitude relation for the fault and develop a Bayesian analysis to compare the characteristic earthquake (CE) model and the Gutenberg-Richter (GR) model. Our analysis leads to the conclusion that there was a change in seismic behavior at about 14 ka. From approximately 37 ka to approximately 14 ka, the seismic activity is best described by the CE model. From approximately 14 ka to the present, there is no strong indication favoring one model over the other; the earthquake record is somewhat more consistent with the classical GR equation than with the CE model. If one does assume that the CE model is appropriate for the younger episode, then there is evidence of a change in the characteristic magnitude. Thus, there is evidence of a change in earthquake behavior on the fault segment approximately 14 ka.

Gamma irradiation of corn stover in combination with sodium hydroxide for bioconversion of polysaccharide into protein by Pleurotus spp has also been reported. In this study experiments were designed to find out whether gamma radiation could serve both as a decontaminating agent as well as hydrolytic agent of sawdust for the bioconversion of four varieties of Pleurotus spp. Preliminary results indicate that a dose of 20kGy of gamma irradiation increase the yield of Pleurotus eous var ET-8 whilst decreasing the yield of other varieties.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Use of importance measures in risk-informed regulatory applications AN - 16437965; 4342298 AB - The use of importance measures to analyze PRA results is discussed. Commonly used importance measures are defined. Some issues that have been identified as potentially limiting their usefulness are addressed, namely: there is no simple relationship between importance measures evaluated at the single component level and those evaluated at the level of a group of components, and, as a result, some of the commonly used importance measures are not realistic measures of the sensitivity of the overall risk to parameter value changes; and, importance measures do not typically take into account parameter uncertainties which raises the question of the robustness of conclusions drawn from importance analyses. The issues are explored in the context of both ranking and categorization of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) with respect to risk-significance and safety-significance for use in risk-informed regulatory analyses.

This guidance considers the effects that the chemistry of the vault disposal system may have on radionuclide release. The geochemistry of pore waters buffered by cementitious materials in the disposal system will be different from the local ground water. Therefore, the cement-buffered environment needs to be considered within the source term calculations if credit is taken for solubility limits and/or sorption of dissolved radionuclides within disposal units. A literature review was conducted on methods to model pore- water compositions resulting from reactions with cement, experimental studies of cement/water systems, natural analogue studies of cement and concrete, and radionuclide solubilities experimentally determined in cement pore waters. Based on this review, geochemical modeling was used to calculate maximum concentrations for americium, neptunium, nickel, plutonium, radium, strontium, thorium, and uranium for pore-water compositions buffered by cement and local ground- water. Another literature review was completed on radionuclide sorption behavior onto 'fresh' cement/concrete where the pore water pH will be equal to or greater than 10. Based on this review, a radionculides in cement/concrete environments.

In some cases, the environmental or operating conditions, which they are subjected to, may be more severe than those affecting non-nuclear structures. This degradation needs to be understood and adequately managed for the continued safe operation of nuclear power plants. To date a limited number of nuclear power plants in the US have specific monitoring and inspection programs for structures. The evaluation for seismic loading is particularly important because the degraded structures or components could be more vulnerable to the seismic loads. From a seismic analysis point of view, the aging or degradation may affect dynamic properties, structural response, resistance or capacity, failure modes, and locations of failure initiation. Further, the NRC license renewal rule requires in part that the current licensing basis (CLB) be maintained throughout the period of extended operation. To meet this requirement, an assessment and timely maintenance of the degraded structures and components becomes necessary. An international cooperative program is being considered to pull together resources to tackle the issue of seismic effects on aged/degraded structures and components, and to augment existing databases by using experience of nuclear power plants worldwide.

Inservice inspection (ISI) is one of the mechanisms used by the power plant owners to ensure piping integrity. Previously, the type and frequency of ISI have been based on the collective best judgment of the NRC and industry in a consensus code and rulemaking process. The ASME code-based ISI requirements and practices have not explicitly taken into consideration unique aspects of piping functions, piping degradation mechanisms, weld integrity, fabrication details, and the extent of the contribution to overall plant risk. Due to the general nature of the ASME code ISI requirements and non-reliance on quantification of risk estimates, current ISI requirements may unnecessarily emphasize inspection of less safety-significant piping segments, and thereby unnecessarily expose plant personnel to radiation exposure. Nuclear power plant owners are currently interested in optimizing inspection and testing by applying resources in more safety-significant areas. They are also interested in maintaining system availability and reducing overall maintenance costs which do not have any adverse effects on safety. The NRC has confirmed its intent of using probabilistic, as an adjunct to deterministic, technique, to help define the scope, type, and frequency of ISI. The development of risk-informed inservice inspection programs (RI-ISI) has the potential to optimize the use of NRC and industry resources and to continue assuring adequate protection of the public's health and safety.

AN - 16354222; 6796 AB - PURPOSE: The storage of spent nuclear fuel from the Three Mile Island Unit 2 at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL), located in southeastern Idaho, is proposed. An assessment of the spent fuel management plan for INEEL was contained in a programmatic final EIS of April 1995 from the Department of Energy (DOE). The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has determined that the construction and operation of a spent fuel storage facility at INEEL is substantially the same as actions considered in the DOE's final EIS and has elected to adopt the DOE document as its own final EIS. The spent fuel to be transported to INEEL is an agglomerate of the various items that existed within the reactor vessel after the Three Mile Island accident. The material is being stored in stainless-steel canisters in a fully flooded and vented compartment at Three Mile Island. Under the proposed action, the canisters would be loaded into a dry shield canister, placed on a special use trailer and transported by truck to INEEL. Approximately 29 trips would be needed to transfer all spent fuel from Three Mile Island to INEEL. The INEEL storage facility would be a dry, above-ground facility occupying one acre. It would be designed to receive the transport cask, transfer the debris, store the canisters, allow inspection and monitoring of key safety parameters during storage, and provide for the retrieval of the canisters for further processing or disposal. The facility would be designed to accommodate combustible gas, specifically hydrogen and oxygen generated by hydrolysis. Any gases generated in the canisters would pass through a High Efficiency Particulate Air filter prior to atmospheric release. The estimated cost of the project is $4.12 million for preconstruction, $16.48 million for construction, and $1.7 million for the first four years of operation. Alternative spent nuclear fuels storage methods, sites, and a No-Action alternative were considered in this final EIS. [The NRC has adopted the DOE's final EIS, EPA number 950163, filed on March 21, 1995. The NRC was not a cooperating agency on the final EIS.] POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would provide interim storage of spent nuclear fuel until ultimate disposition occurs, stabilize the fuel as required for safe storage, increase safe storage capacity by replacing facilities that cannot meet current standards, provide additional capacity for newly generated spent fuel, and conduct research and development to support storage and disposal efforts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The transporting and handling of fuels would expose workers to radiation. Accidents would result in serious health effects.

AN - 79703610; 9482594 AB - In April 1995, Health Physics published a review paper titled "Radioactive Materials in Recycled Metals." At that time, 35 accidental meltings of radioactive sources in metal mills were reported, including 22 in the U.S., along with 293 other events in the U.S. where radioactive material was found in metals for recycling. Since that date, there have been additional accidental meltings of radioactive sources in metal mills both in the U.S. and elsewhere. There also was an incident in Texas that involved stolen radioactive devices, which resulted in exposures of members of the general public. Also, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission took steps to address the underlying problem of inadequate control and accountability of radioactive materials licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The Steel Manufacturers Association made available data collected by its members beginning in 1994 that expanded the database for radioactive materials found by the metal recycling industry in recycled metal scrap to over 2,300 reports as of 30 June 1997.

Heat treatments produced two types of microstructures in both commercial and controlled- purity alloys: one dominated by grain boundary carbides and one dominated by intragranular carbides. CERT tests conducted over a range of strain rates and at two temperatures showed that in all samples, IGSCC was the dominant failure mode. For both the commercial alloy and the controlled-purity alloys, the microstructure with grain boundary carbides showed delayed crack initiation and shallower crack depths than did the intragranular carbide microstructure under all experimental conditions, indicating that a grain boundary carbide microstructure is more resistant to IGSCC than an intragranular carbide microstructure. Observations support both the film rupture/slip dissolution mechanism and enhanced localized plasticity. Crack growth rates increased with increasing strain rate according to a power law relation with a strain rate exponent between 0.40 and 0.64. However, crack growth rate measured in m /unit strain decreased with increasing strain rate indicating an effect of either the environment or creep. consistent with the literature.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-03-24 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Nuclear Fuel Cycle Facility Accident Analysis Handbook AN - 17575078; 4464291 AB - The purpose of this Handbook is to provide guidance on how to calculate the characteristics of releases of radioactive materials and/or hazardous chemicals from nonreactor nuclear facilities. In addition, the Handbook provides guidance on how to calculate the consequences of those releases. There are four major chapters: Hazard Evaluation and Scenario Development; Transport Within Containment/Confinement; and Atmospheric Dispersion and Consequence Modeling. These chapters are supported by Appendices, including: a summary of chemical and nuclear information that contains descriptions of various fuel cycle facilities; details on how to calculate the characteristics of source terms for releases of hazardous chemicals; a comparison of NRC, EPA, and OSHA programs that address chemical safety; a summary of the performance of HEPA an other filters; and a discussion of uncertainties. Several sample problems are presented: a free-fall spill of powder; an explosion with radioactive release; a fire with radioactive release; filter failure; hydrogen fluoride release from a tankcar; a uranium hexafluoride cylinder rupture; a liquid spill in a vitrification plant; and a criticality incident. Finally, this Handbook includes a computer model, LPF No. 1B, that is intended for use in calculating Leak Path Factors. A list of contributors to the handbook is presented in Chapter 6.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Radiation health effects AN - 17098474; 4403309 AB - The bulk of our knowledge about human radiation health effect that forms the basis for radiation protection standards is derived from studies of the survivors of the atomic bombs that struck Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Other human population groups that have provided significant data on radiation health effects are certain medical patient groups. It is largely the result of these human studies coupled with research on radiation effects on animals and cells that have led to the adoption on the linear, non-threshold (LNT) theory to describe radiation health effects at the low doses and dose rates normally encountered by radiation workers and the public. The strict application of that theory at these low levels is being challenged. In the opinion of some, the strict application of the LNT theory has led to unnecessarily conservative radiation protection standards particularly for specific purposes such as the decontamination and decommissioning of licensed facilities. As we will see, there is scientific uncertainty about radiation health effects at these low levels. Thus, one way of obtaining relief from radiation protection standards that are viewed as unnecessarily restrictive or overly conservative, is to challenge the theory underlying the standards.

In the first study source parameter estimates taken from 27 previous studies were combined to test the assumption that the earthquake stress drop is roughly a constant, independent of earthquake size. 200 estimates of stress drop and seismic moment from eastern North American earthquakes were combined. In the second study, broadband seismograms recorded by the United States National Seismograph Network and cooperating stations have been analyzed. In the third study, using spectral analysis, estimates have been made for the anelastic attenuation of four regional phases, and estimates have been made for the source parameters of 27 earthquakes.

AN - 21255809; 11704959 AB - The prime concern of radiation protection policy since 1959 has been to protect DNA from damage. In 1994 the United Nations Scientific Community on the Effects of Atomic Radiation focused on biosystem response to radiation with its report Adaptive Responses to Radiation of Cells and Organisms. The 1995 National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements report Principles and Application of Collective Dose in Radiation Protection states that because no human data provides direct support for the linear nonthreshold hypothesis (LNT), confidence in LNT is based on the biophysical concept that the passage of a single charged particle could cause damage to DNA that would result in cancer. Several statistically significant epidemiologic studies contradict the validity of this concept by showing risk decrements, i.e., hormesis, of cancer mortality and mortality from all causes in populations exposed to low-dose radiation. Unrepaired low-dose radiation damage to DNA is negligible compared to metabolic damage. The DNA damage-control biosystem is physiologically operative on both metabolic and radiation damage and effected predominantly by free radicals. The DNA damage-control biosystem is suppressed by high dose and stimulated by low-dose radiation. The hormetic effect of low-dose radiation may be explained by its increase of biosystem efficiency. Improved DNA damage control reduces persistent mis- or unrepaired DNA damage i.e., the number of mutations that accumulate during a lifetime. This progressive accumulation of gene mutations in stem cells is associated with decreasing DNA damage control, aging, and malignancy. Recognition of the positive health effects produced by adaptive responses to low-dose radiation would result in a realistic assessment of the environmental risk of radiation.

The bulk of the data presented in the report was obtained from the 1996 annual radiation exposure reports submitted in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.2206. The 1996 annual reports submitted by about 284 licensees indicated that approximately 138,310 individuals were monitored, 75,139 of whom were monitored by nuclear power facilities. They incurred an average individual dose of 0.1 rem (cSv) and an average measurable dose of about 0.29 rem (cSv). Analyses of transient worker data indicate that 22,348 individuals completed work assignments at two or more licensees during the monitoring year. The dose distributions are adjusted each year to account for the duplicate reporting of transient workers by multiple licensees. In 1996, the average measurable dose calculated from reported data was 0.24 cSv (rem). The corrected dose distribution resulted in an average measurable dose of 0.29 cSv (rem).

AN - 79682562; 9467839 AB - Groundwater radon data were recorded at monthly intervals from two selected monitoring sites of the northern extension of the Dead Sea Fault System in western Syria during 1993 and 1994. This set of data was utilized to estimate the basic radon background content and the range of its normal variations in groundwater along the fault zone. The results suggest that the establishment of such range is important when attempting to separate the usual groundwater radon fluctuations from other anomalous or earthquake related values. In addition, the seismic activity in the study region was statistically analyzed, and the completeness of the earthquake catalogue during the given time-window was estimated to be at magnitude M > or = 3.5.

A certified reference material (CRM 392) was used for the evaluation of the performance of the methods. Soxhlet-Dean-Starch with toluene as solvent, Soxhlet with hexane:acetone (2:3), cold digestion/saponification with 2 mol/L KOH in methanol followed by partition with hexane, and sonicated liquid-solid extraction with hexane:acetone (1:1) produced accurate results (97%, 93%, 104%, and 88%, respectively) with acceptable precisions (6.2%, 6.8%, 15% and 12%, respectively). Results in close agreement with the certified value for all congeners were obtained by treatment with BF sub(3)-methanol prior to partition with dichloromethane. However, this is a tedious procedure and involves the use of hazardous compounds. Cyclic steam distillation produced results with an accuracy of around 80% and a good precision (5.2%). The very low consumption of solvents and other expensive chemicals by this technique and the possibility of analyzing the extract directly without clean-up make it an interesting alternative to the more sophisticated methods. Column elution with dichloromethane was found to be less efficient (61%), but it is a rapid, direct method with a low consumption of solvents and it may therefore serve as screening method.

To assess the performance of each X ray room surveyed, the mean of the entrance surface dose for patients whose statistics were close to a standard patient (70 kg weight and 20 cm AP trunk thickness) were compared to the Commission of the European Communities guideline values for chest PA, lumbar spine AP, pelvis/abdomen AP and skull AP examinations. The third quartiles dose values were 1.3 mGy, 14.5 mGy, 12.0 mGy and 7.9 mGy for chest PA, lumbar spine AP, pelvis/abdomen AP and skull AP respectively. Analysis of the data show that 86%, 58%, 37.5% and 50% of radiographic rooms delivered a mean dose greater than the CEC guideline values for chest PA, lumbar spine AP, pelvis/abdomen and skull AP respectively. This suggests that radiographic departments should undertake a review of their radiographic practice in order to bring their doses to optimum levels.

The results provided the first baseline data on these substances in north Vietnam. Cyclodienes were below the detection limit, which indicated that they were never used in north Vietnam. The concentrations of HCH isomers were low, probably originating from non-local sources. The concentrations of DDT in sediment and biota were the highest of all the detected chlorinated hydrocarbons. This pesticide was used in the rainy season in the Red river valley, thence transported to the coastal areas via dilution into water and sediments. There was concern over population exposure to this cancer-promoting group of pesticides. An assessment of pollution problems together with integrated catchment management is suggested.

An anthropogenic and terrestrial influx from the hinterland was negligible. Values for radium-226 and polonium-210 were higher in the sediment of Port Sudan harbour relative to those from the adjacent fringing reefs. Average radionuclide concentrations of uranium-238, radium-226, polonium-210, thorium-230, thorium-232, thorium-228 and potassium-40 were 29.6, 11.6, 33.0, 6.6, 6.02, 48.4 and 158.4 Bq per kg dry weight. The thorium-228:thorium-232 disequilibrium in sediment indicated a rapid rate of sedimentation at the sampling sites. The uptake of natural radionuclides by marine species was insignificant. However, caesium-137 activity in the brown algae (Sargassum) ranged from 0.33 to 1.32 Bq per kg (highest levels recorded).

The spatial distribution of radionuclides in Port Sudan harbour was more uniform than in Sawakin harbour, some of which has been dredged recently to remove sludge. Although it was possible to fit the relationships between the organic matter contents of the sediment samples and the activity concentrations for radium-226, radium-228, polonium-210 and caesium-137 to a line using the best fit square function, the regression coefficients showed an insignificant correlation. The levels of anthropogenic radioactivity found can be attributed to global fallout, and do not indicate any enhancement by anthropogenic influx from the hinterland. The potential radiological impact on man of the low levels of caesium-137 found is probably insignificant; activity concentrations of caesium-137 ranged from 1.74 to 9.36 Bq in Port Sudan and from 0.49 to 8.99 Bq in Sawakin.

These experiments were recently shut down and have been examined in accordance with a detailed waste form and soil sampling plan. Ion-exchange resins from a commercial nuclear power station were solidified into waste forms using portland cement and vinyl ester-styrene. These waste forms were tested to (a) obtain information on performance of waste forms in typical disposal environments, (b) compare field results with bench leach studies, (c) develop a low-level waste data base for use in performance assessment source term calculations, and (d) apply the DUST computer code to compare predicted cumulative release to actual field data. The program includes observed radionuclide releases from waste forms in field lysimeters. The purpose of this paper is to present the experimental results of two lysimeter arrays after 10 years of operation, and to compare those results to bench test results and to DUST code predictions of releases using recently developed partition coefficients. This paper discusses soil and waste form sampling in which vertical cores were removed from the lysimeter soil columns for laboratory characterization. Those samples are analyzed for radionuclide movement from the waste forms and through the soil columns. Further analysis of soil cores taken to define the observed upward migration of radionuclides in one lysimeter is also presented.

Lead concentrations in soil samples varied from 78.4 ppm to 832 ppm while mean lead levels in plants ranged from 2.6 ppm to 19.3 ppm; the highest levels were found to be in grass (44 ppm). In addition, lead levels were lower in soil samples during the wet period (December to April) whereas, it is higher in plants during the same period. Moreover, traffic density, distance from traffic roads, climate and area topography (up- and down hill) were influencing factors in lead levels in both the soil and plant samples. The results have also shown that lead concentration in most of the analyzed vegetable samples was high and normal washing does not decrease it to an acceptable level.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Uncertainty analyses of infiltration and subsurface flow and transport for SDMP sites AN - 51210998; 2000-000190 AB - U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff have identified a number of sites requiring special attention in the decommissioning process because of elevated levels of radioactive contaminants. Traits common to many of these sites include limited data characterizing the subsurface, the presence of long-lived radionuclides necessitating a long-term analysis (1000 years or more), and potential exposure through multiple pathways. As a consequence of these traits, the uncertainty in predicted exposures can be significant. In addition, simplifications to the physical system and the transport mechanisms are often necessary to reduce the computational requirements of the analysis. Several multiple-path-way transport codes exist for estimating dose, two of which were used in this study. These two codes have built-in Monte Carlo simulation capabilities that were used for the uncertainty analysis. Several tools for improving uncertainty analyses of exposure estimates through the groundwater pathway have been developed and are discussed in this report. JF - NUREG/CR (United States.

The objectives this research were examine hypotheses and test alternative conceptual models concerning unsaturated flow and transport through fractured rock, and to design and execute confirmatory field and laboratory experiments to test these hypotheses and conceptual models at the Apache Leap Research Site near Superior, Arizona. Each chapter in this report summarizes research related to a specific set of objectives and can be read and interpreted as separate entity. Topics include: crosshole pneumatic and gaseous tracer field and modeling experiments designed to help validate the applicability of continuum geostatistical and stochastic concepts, theories, models, and scaling relations relevant to unsaturated flow and transport; use of geochemistry and aquifer testing to evaluate fracture flow and perching mechanisms; investigations of uranium isotopes to evaluate leaching selectivity; and transport and modeling of both conservative and non-conservative tracers.

Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), all Federal agencies must consider the effect of their actions on the environment. To fulfull NRC's responsibilities under NEPA, the Commission is preparing this GEIS which analyzes alternative courses of action and the costs and impacts associated with those alternatives. In preparing the final GEIS, the following approach was taken: (1) a listing was developed of regulatory alternatives for establishing radiological criteria for decommissioning; (2) for each alternative, a detailed analysis and comparison on incremental impacts, both radiological and nonradiological, to workers, members of the public, and the environment, and costs were performed; and (3) based on the analysis of impacts and costs, conclusions on radiological criteria for decommissioning were provided. Contained in the GEIS are results and conclusions related to achieving, as an objective of decommissioning ALARA, reduction to preexisting background, the radiological criterion for unrestricted use, decommissioning ALARA analysis for soils and structures containing contamination, restricted use and alternative analysis for special site-specific situations and groundwater cleanup.

Interpretation of total count data from an airborne gamma -ray spectrometric survey, originally designed to assist U exploration has produced significant modifications and corrections to the previous distribution map of Palaeogene phosphate rocks, and discovered four phosphorite horizons in the Rasm Al-Aawabed area of the N Palmyrides. Also, new phosphatic horizons were outlined in the outher study areas. This technique is an effective prospecting method for both U and phosphorite formations, and for geological mapping in areas lacking recent field data.

Besides complete descriptions of the models, this Code Manual provides a complete description of the input and output from the code. The code includes atmospheric models for steam/air thermodynamics, intercell flows, condensation/evaporation on structures and aerosols, aerosol behavior, and gas combustion. It also includes models for reactor cavity phenomena such as core-concrete interactions and coolant pool boiling. Heat conduction in structures, fission product decay and transport, radioactive heating, and the thermal hydraulic and fission product decontamination effects of engineered safety features are also modeled. These models allow selected design basis and severe accidents to be analyzed, for both current and advanced LWR designs.

Abnormal and emergency conditions, plant outages and start-up activities can all be periods of significant operator stress. If not managed effectively, stress can have deleterious effects on operator performance, including impairments of memory, attention, communication patterns, and a tendency to perform activities as if under time pressure. Specific impairments of operator performance are identified. Current intervention strategies and emerging challenges for stress management in nuclear plant operations are discussed.

The design certification process requires an applicant to comply with technically relevant portions of the regulations established as a result of Three Mile Island. Included as a requirement is to provide a control room design that reflects state-of-the-art human factors principles before building the human system interfaces (HSIs) for plant locations such as the main control room and remote shutdown facility. To address this requirement, the NRC developed a Human Factors Engineering Program Review Model (NUREG-0711) as guidance for the staff to use in reviewing the human factors engineering (HFE) portion of applicant submittals. To date, the NRC has reviewed applications from three designers, General Electric, ASEA Brown Boveri-Combustion Engineering, and Westinghouse Electric Corporation. Each designer has provided a different approach to developing the HSIs for their plants which has presented the NRC with a unique challenge.

The groundwater bodies of major karst springs mainly originate from direct infiltration of atmospheric water. The groundwaters emerging from the Figeh main spring have lower stable isotope concentrations than those emerging from the Barada spring. Stable isotopes show that the elevation of the recharge zones of the Figeh main spring (1750 m above sea level) is higher than those for the Figeh side spring (1500 m) and the Harouch spring (1300 m). The groundwater in the Barada spring seems to be recharged in a catchment area with a mean elevation of about 1250 m. The temporal evolution of stable isotope concentrations, tritium content and hydrochemistry show the existence of an interconnection between the aquifers of the Figeh main spring and the Figeh side spring, especially during flood periods. The distinct independent isotopic composition of Harouch spring from those of Figeh main and side springs suggests no interconnection with the Figeh aquifers. Adopting a model with exponential time distribution, the mean turnover time (residence time) of groundwater in Figeh main spring was evaluated to be 50 years. On the basis of this evaluation, a value of about 3.9 billion m super(3) was obtained for the maximum groundwater reservoir size. JF - Journal of Hydrology (Amsterdam) AU - Kattan, Z AD - Dep.

The room temperature Mossbauer spectrum is fitted with three sextets and two doublets. The sextets are assigned to Fe in troilite, kamacite, and taenite, and the two doublets are assigned to Fe (super 2+) in olivine and pyroxene (no Fe (super 3+) was found). The microprobe trace of Ni concentration across a kamacite-taenite-kamacite area shows a high-Ni concentration at the interfaces between kamacite and taenite. From the microprobe analysis, olivine appears to have a constant composition, whereas pyroxene has a varying composition. The mole fractions of the Fe end members of olivine (fayalite) and pyroxene (ferrosilite) are found to be 23.5% and 23.2%, respectively. Accordingly, the New Halfa meteorite is classified as an ordinary L-type chondrite.

BLT-EC is a two-dimensional finite element computer code capable of simulating the time-dependent release and reactive transport of aqueous phase species in a subsurface soil system. BLT-EC contains models to simulate the processes (container degradation, waste-form performance, transport, chemical reactions, and radioactive production and decay) most relevant to estimating the release and transport of contaminants from a subsurface disposal system. Water flow is provided through tabular input or auxiliary files. Container degradation considers localized failure due to putting corrosion and general failure due to uniform surface degradation processes. Waste-form performance considers release to be limited by one of four mechanisms; rinse with partitioning, diffusion, uniform surface degradation, and solubility. Transport considers the processes of advection, dispersion, diffusion, chemical reaction, radioactive production and decay, and sources (waste form releases). Chemical reactions accounted for include complexation, sorption, dissolution-precipitation, oxidation reduction, and ion exchange. Radioactive production and decay in the waste form is simulated. To improve the usefulness of BLT-EC, a pre-processor, ECIN, which assists in the creation of chemistry input files, and post-processor, BLTPLOT, which provides a visual display of the data have been developed, BLT-EC also includes an extensive database of thermodynamic data that is also accessible to ECIN. This document reviews the models implemented in BLT-EC and serves as a guide to creating input files and applying BLT-EC. JF - NUREG/CR (United States.

The changes in epidermal thickness and their effect on skin permeability after uranium exposure are reported herein. Two experiments (A and B) were performed in Wistar rats weighing 60 g. In experiment A the animals were exposed to U sub(3)O sub(8) (0.012 g d super(-1)) in 30 daily topical applications. In experiment B the animals were treated as in experiment A, followed by a period of non-exposure of 60 d. Samples of the treated area of skin were taken for histologic studies and for the study of the skin permeability. The epidermal thickness was measured on the histological sections. Epidermis was thinner in experimental than in control animals in both experiments. The values in the control groups were 41.05 plus or minus 14.03 mu m (A) and 38.92 plus or minus 16.50 mu m (B) and 21.35 plus or minus 10.29 mu m (A) and 24.06 plus or minus 16.50 mu m (B) in the experimental groups, the differences being statistically significant. Skin permeability was measured placing skin samples in a diffusion cell, in which the upper compartment was filled with a staining solution. The determinations were made with a spectrophotometer. The results revealed that the skin permeability in both experimental groups was higher than in the respective controls, 65% in experiment A and 77% in experiment B. The results revealed that a long term uranium exposure leads to an epidermal atrophy which in turn results in an increased permeability of the skin.

The results of such an analysis are expressed as estimated probabilities per year or estimated annual frequencies. The objective of this project has been to provide methodological guidance on how to perform a PSHA. The project, co-sponsored by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the Electric Power Research Institute, has been carried out by a seven-member Senior Seismic Hazard Analysis Committee (SSHAC), supported by a large number of other experts working under the Committee's guidance. The scope of the SSHAC guidance is intended to cover both site-specific and regional applications of PSHA (more broadly, applications in both low-seismicity and high-seismicity regions) in both the eastern U.S. and western U.S. Although the sponsors' primary objective is guidance for applications at nuclear power plants and other critical facilities, the methodological guidance applies in whole or in part, on a case-by-case basis, to a broad range of applications.

AN - 36405408; 6309 AB - PURPOSE: The conversion of the partially completed Bellefonte Nuclear Plant in northeast Alabama to a fossil-fuel plant is proposed. The facility is located on a 1,600-acre site adjacent to the Tennessee River near Hollywood, Alabama. The two-unit nuclear generating plant was authorized for construction in 1974. By 1988, when the facilities were nearly fully constructed, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) decided to defer completion in response to lower-than-expected load forecasts for the region. In December 1994, the TVA announced that the Bellefonte would not completed as a nuclear power plant without a partner and put any further construction activities on hold. The proposed conversion to a fossil fuel plant is viewed as a means of meeting regional energy demands while avoiding the environmental risks of nuclear power and recouping some of the $4.6 billion already invested in the plant. The converted plant would have an electric capacity of up to 3,000 megawatts (MWs), depending on the conversion method selected. Each method would require a significant investment in new equipment. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The action alternatives would include pulverized coal units, requiring four 600-MW boilers equipped with particulate and sulfur dioxide removal systems; natural gas combined cycle units, requiring nine gas turbines, nine heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), and nine stacks; integrated gasification combined cycle units, requiring eight coal and petroleum coke gasification plants, eight combustion turbines, and eight HRSGs; integrated gasification combined cycle units with three coal gasification plants; and a combination of the integrated gasification combined cycle units and the natural gas combined cycle units. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would supply needed electrical power to the Tennessee Valley and would benefit the local economy and help to meet regional energy demands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Although air quality standards would not be exceeded under any of the conversion options, each would result in significant increases in emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and carbon dioxide. Noncombustible wastes would be disposed of at nearby municipal landfills. Storm water runoff, leaching from contaminated or disturbed areas, and various construction activities would damage water quality and aquatic resources. Construction of barge landing facilities would result in the loss of 20 acres of wetlands.

The perception of risk depends on several factors, including early experiences, education, controllability of the risk, the type of consequence, and the type of person(s) who makes the judgment. This paper reviews some of the main factors influencing people's perception and acceptability of risk. Knowledge about which factors influence the perception of risk may enhance the understanding of different points of view brought into risk controversies, improve risk communication, and facilitate policy making.

The stones that comprise the riprap layer are evaluated by the performance of standard rock quality tests (Specific Gravity, Absorption, Sodium Sulfate Soundness, Los Angeles Abrasion, Tensile, and Schmidt Impact Hammer). The composite of the test scores indicates the general rock quality that in turn is used as an indicator of the long-term rock durability. Rock samples were collected from a reclaimed impoundment near Lakeview, Oregon. Site monitoring determined that individual stone particles were degrading at an accelerated rate. The samples were subjected to rock quality tests, petrographic examination, and a series of proposed durability tests. The rock quality tests and petrographic evaluations indicated that the rock was suitable for erosion protection. However, the durability evaluation suggested that the rock may disintegrate in 130 to 272 years. It is suggested that a) a rock durability assessment procedure be formulated, b) long-term surveillance/monitoring programs be instituted for uranium mill tailings impoundments, and c) site specific freeze/thaw cycles be considered for site analysis.

The maximum amount of fissile uranium in containers and disposal cells is regulated, assuming that the uranium will remain in place. Leakage at landfills suggests that wastes do migrate and have the potential to become more concentrated under certain geochemical conditions. We used two coupled hydrogeochemical modeling codes to evaluate uranium migration and accumulation: PHREEQC, a mixing cell model, and ParSSim, a coupled geochemistry and transport code that runs on parallel processors to increase efficiency. PHREEQC was useful for establishing important geochemical reactions, and ParSSim provided a more realistic assessment of concentrations. We postulated two scenarios for increasing the concentration of immobile uranium in waste areas: entrapment on sorption sites and precipitation of uranium in reducing zones. Coupled models were needed to evaluate the interplay between hydrogeochemical processes that mobilized uranium and those that immobilized uranium. For sorption, mobilization of uranium as carbonate complexes inhibited sorption and limited the increase in concentration to levels that were below criticality safety concern. For precipitation in reducing zones, the oxidizing water that mobilizes uranium potentially could inhibit precipitation, but modeling showed an increase in immobile uranium concentration. However, to achieve thicknesses of concern for nuclear criticality the source term must be larger than typical disposal practices.

This survey was based on panned concentrates sampling techniques, during which a total of 68 samples were collected from most of major rivers and their tributaries covering an area of more than 1000 km (super 2) . The aim of this geochemical investigation was to determine metals dispersion, their relation to mineralization, and regional distribution in the drainage system of the area. Our research reveals that Chitral area has a high potential for mineralization. Some valleys contain polymetallic anomalies while others have either precious or base metals. Strong anomalies of precious and base metals, together with As and Sb were detected in the northernmost part (Tirich Gol valley) of the surveyed area in which the respective ranges of Au, Ag, As, Sb, Cu, Pb, and Zn are 20- 2500 ppb, 2-22 ppm, 2-1500 ppm, 1-18 ppm, 50-400 ppm, 100-1200 ppm, and 50-550 ppm. The significant mineral occurrences are found north of Reshun Formation. The central part (Barum, Pasti and Shoghor) of the survey area shows polymetallic signature with significant enrichment of precious metals Au = 10-200 ppb, Ag = 1-12 ppm, As = 10-200 ppm and Sb = 1-10 ppm). The southern part, mainly Kafiristan valley, is high in Pb (100-1800 ppm) with some anomalies of Au (1-100 ppb) and Ag (2-17 ppm). New targets for mineral prospecting were located at several localities of Chitral valley. Important regional structures, such as faults, and their significance regarding mineralization were also defined during this investigation.

The study evaluates screening-level and detailed public- domain models that were specifically developed for UF(sub 6) and models that were originally developed for the treatment of dense gases but are applicable to UF(sub 6) release, reaction, and dispersion. The model evaluation process is divided into three specific tasks: model-component evaluation; applicability evaluation; and user interface and quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) evaluation. Within the model- component evaluation process, a model's treatments of source term, thermodynamics, and atmospheric dispersion are considered and model predictions are compared with actual observations. Within the applicability evaluation process, a model's applicability to Integrated Safety Analysis, Emergency Response Planning, and Post-Accident Analysis, and to site-specific considerations are assessed. Finally, within the user interface and QA/QC evaluation process, a model's user- friendliness, presence and clarity of documentation, ease of use, etc. are assessed, along with its handling of QA/QC. This document presents the complete methodology used in the evaluation process.

In this work too, the relationship between the parameters of some houses in Damascus city and radon together with radon daughters concentration were studied. These houses were classified into three types depending mainly on the house design. The radon concentration measurements were carried out in different places inside these houses using solid state nuclear track detectors. In addition a gamma survey meter was used to determine gamma dose rates inside the studied houses and they were compared with radon concentrations. Scintillation technique was used to monitor the variation of radon and radon daughter concentrations during the day inside one type of house. The correlation between radon concentrations and age of houses in Damascus city was also checked in this study.

To support this, the staff is currently preparing guidance, in the form of Regulatory Guides and Standard Review Plans, for the use of PRAs in regulatory decision making. There will be application specific Reg Guides and SRPs, for Inservice Testing (IST), Inservice Inspection (ISI), and Technical Specifications, a specific Reg Guide for Graded Quality Assurance, as well as a general Reg Guide and SRP to address these and all other applications. It is expected that, for any submittal that is in accordance with these documents, the PRA will be of sufficient quality to support the conclusions being drawn with respect to the impact of the proposed change on risk to the health and safety of the public. This paper discusses the NRC's perspective on what constitutes the required quality of a PRA for use in regulatory activities.

AN - 36400634; 6198 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a groundwater remediation project for 24 sites affected by uranium processing activities for varying lengths of time from the 1940s to the 1970s is proposed. At many of these sites, no effort was made to prevent the spread of mill tailings by wind and water erosion after processing activities ceased; as a result, uranium mill tailings were spread beyond the boundaries of the mill site. Except for one site in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, all sites are located in western states. Lands contaminated with uranium range from 21 acres at the Spook, Wyoming, site to 612 acres at Ambrosia, New Mexico. A total of 3,900 acres and 39 million cubic yards of material were contaminated at the 24 sites. The Department of Energy estimates that 4.7 billion gallons of groundwater were contaminated at these sites. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 2), are considered in this programmatic final EIS. The proposed action (Alternative 1, the preferred alternative) would use ground water compliance strategies tailored for each site in order to achieve conditions that are protective of human health and the environment. It would consider ground water compliance decisions in a step-by-step approach, beginning with the consideration of a no remediation strategy and proceeding, if necessary, to the passive strategy, such as natural flushing with compliance monitoring and institutional controls, and to a more complex, active ground water cleanup method, such as pump and treat or other engineered approaches to cleaning up contaminated ground water. If groundwater contamination at a particular site did not exceed background levels or maximum concentration limits, no remediation would be required. When exceedances do occur, the next step would be to determine whether compliance with the EPA standards could be achieved by applying supplemental standards based on the existence of limited use groundwater. If these standards were not protective, alternate concentration limits would be applied. Groundwater monitoring and institutional controls would be applied if alternate concentration limits were not adequate. Additional steps would involve natural flushing, gradient manipulation, geochemical barriers, and other types of active remediation methods. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Remediation efforts would be implemented where necessary in order to protect human health and prevent radioactive substances from entering the food chain or affecting sensitive habitats or wildlife. Implementation under the proposed action would be more cost effective than under a more aggressive plan that would restore all sites regardless of the level of contamination. It would allow for the consideration of new ground water cleanup methods that became available. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land and water use would be restricted on sites eligible for natural flushing or active remediation.

AN - 78687336; 9031592 AB - Nucleolar organizer regions stained with colloidal silver techniques (AgNOR) evidence sites of active rRNA transcription. It has been proved that AgNOR undergo a rise in number and variations in size and shape in conditions which traditionally involve enhanced cell proliferation and rRNA transcription. AgNOR have been described as a marker of malignant transformation in multiple entities. Our laboratory has previously described their value as markers of radioinduced damage. The finding, at light microscopy level, that silver staining persisted at later post-irradiation times when cells are characteristically inactive, prompted the present study to correlate findings at light microscopy level with the ultrastructural analysis of nucleoli and their AgNOR in a model of irradiated skin. We herein attempt to explain the biological significance of AgNOR variations in the different phases of radioinduced response (which involves cellular hyperactivity followed by regressive features). Ten Wistar rats were submitted to local irradiation of the left leg (the shielded right leg was used as control) with 50 Gy x rays and killed 15 days post- irradiation. Silver staining was performed on ultrathin sections. In the basal layer of control epithelium silver affinity was established for fibrillar centers (FC) and fibrillar dense components (DFC). During the phase of radioinduced hyperplasia (1-3 days post-exposure) basal cells exhibit large reticular nucleoli, with irregular contours and silver staining on DFC. In the regressive phase (4-5 days post-irradiation) silver staining persists despite the halt in transcriptional activity, associated to homogeneous and compact nucleoli. These findings suggest caution in the interpretation of silver staining patterns.

Considerations include mode of cladding failure, oxidation, hydriding, and pulse-width effects. From the data trend and from these considerations, we conclude that the cladding failure threshold for fuel rods with moderate-to-high burnup is roughly 100-cal/g fuel peak fuel-rod enthalpy for boiling-water reactors and pressurized-water reactors. Realistic plant calculations suggest that cladding failure would not occur for rod-ejection or rod-drop accidents and therefore that pellet fragmentation and enhanced fission-product release from fuel pellets should not have to be considered in the safety analysis for these reactivity accidents. The data base, however, is sparse and contains much uncertainty.

The site was found to be very disturbed by human activity, especially road building related to the construction of the St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Power Project. Sand diapirs and dewatering structures were observed in two of the trenches. These features may be related to incipient liquefaction but their origin is equivocal. The epicentral location of the 1944 earthquake probably occurred within 10 km of the site; therefore, the epicentral distance of this site of liquefaction is within the expected range even for western earthquakes of similar magnitude. A nearshore sandy facies of a glaciolacustrine deposit is thought to be the materials that liquefied during the 1944 event. JF - NUREG/CR (United States.

AN - 36413183; 5972 AB - PURPOSE: The decommissioning of a ferroalloy plant site owned and operated by the Shieldalloy Metallurgical Corporation near Cambridge, Ohio, is proposed. During the 1950s, the facility used radioactive niobium ore and disposed of radioactive wastes in one of two slag piles at the site. Shieldalloy holds a license for the possession of nuclear source material (thorium, uranium, and their radioactive decay products) at the Cambridge facility. The source material is in the form of slag (a glassy residue from smelting operations) from previous alloy furnace operations. Two slag piles are present at the site: the west slag pile occupies about 11.8 acres and contains about 548,000 tons of material, while the east slag pile occupies about 1.5 acres and contains about 58,000 tons of material. The slag piles also contain potentially hazardous chemicals: arsenic, barium, beryllium, chromium, copper, lead, selenium, silver, vanadium, and zinc. Shieldalloy has proposed to stabilize, cap, and grade the slag piles. The capping and grading would be designed to provide long-term protection against wind and water erosion, to minimize groundwater contamination, and to reduce the radiation dose to an individual who gains access to the piles. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. One of the action alternatives would involve shipping all of the slag from both piles to the Envirocare low-level waste disposal facility in Utah. Another alternative would involve excavating contaminated off-site sediments and using this sediment to cap the slag piles. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The licensing by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission of on-site stabilization (the proposed action) would protect the public from radioactive exposure at reasonably low cost. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The excavation of off-site sediments in Chapman Run could result in the resuspension of contaminated sediments in the stream. On-site stabilization could result in the loss of up to 10 acres of wetlands.

Particularly, it examines the effects of the uniform hazard spectrum (UHS) for deriving probabilistic estimates of risk and in-structure demand levels, as compared to the more-exact use of realistic time history inputs (of given probability) that depend explicitly on magnitude and distance. The approach differs significantly from the conventional procedure in its exhaustive treatment of the ground-motion threat, and in its more detailed assessment of component responses to that threat. It is found that the approximate uniform hazard instructure spectrum (UH-ISS) obtained based on UHS appear to be very close to the more-exact results directly computed from scenario earthquakes. The conclusion does not depend on site configurations and structural characteristics. In addition, UH-ISS has composite shapes and may not correspond to the characteristics possessed in a single earthquake. The shape is largely affected by the structural property in most cases and can be derived approximately from the corresponding UHS. Motions with smooth spectra, however, will not have the same damage potential as those of more realistic motions with jagged spectral shapes. As a result, UHS-based analysis may underestimate the real demands in non-linear structural analyses. JF - NUREG/CR (United States.

The objective is to formulate specific procedures and characterizations that may lead to less biased and more precise estimates of risk. This report focuses on sources of conservatism and uncertainty in risk that may be introduced by simplifications that are made at the interface of seismic hazard and fragility assessments, particularly the use of a fixed spectral shape for all magnitudes and the anchoring of this shape to PGA. Results indicate significant conservatism in the use of standard review spectra at eastern U.S. Nuclear plant sites and a strong dependence of seismic fragility on earthquake magnitude when PGA is used as the ground-motion characterization. This study concludes that a single, composite-magnitude spectrum of the appropriate shape can generally be used to characterize ground motion for fragility assessment without introducing significant bias or uncertainty in seismic risk estimates. Results also show that the inelastic or elastic spectral acceleration are superior to PGA as spectral anchors, but they bring only a modest benefit in uncertainty reduction because uncertainty in the risk is dominated by the large uncertainty in the hazard.

Specifically, it examines whether or not artificial motions produce unrealistic evaluation demands, i.e., demands significantly inconsistent with those expected from real earthquakes motions. To study these issues, two types of artificial motions are considered; (1) motions with smooth response spectra, and (2) motions with realistic variations in spectra amplitude across vibration frequency. For both types of artificial motion, time histories are generated to match target spectral shapes. For comparison, empirical motions representative of those that might result from strong earthquakes in the Eastern U.S. are also considered. The study findings suggest that artificial motions resulting from typical simulation approaches (aimed at matching a given target spectrum) are generally adequate and appropriate in representing the peak-response demands that may be induced in linear structures and equipment responding to real earthquake motions. Also, given similar input Fourier energies at high-frequencies, levels of input Fourier energy at low frequencies observed for artificial motions are substantially similar to those levels noted in real earthquake motions.

AN - 36403338; 5906 AB - PURPOSE: The promulgation of rules for renewal of nuclear power plant operating licenses is proposed. The Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, limits the duration of operating licenses for nuclear power plants to a maximum of 40 years but makes provisions for license renewals. By the year 2020, more than 50 percent of the 118 nuclear power plants that are expected to have operating licenses will have reached the end of the original 40-year license period. Under the proposed license renewal rule, licensees would be allowed to operate nuclear power plants for a maximum of 20 years past the terms of their original 40-year licenses provided that certain requirements are met. The rule would require licensees submitting license renewal applications to perform specified types of evaluations and assessments of their facilities and to provide sufficient information for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to determine whether or not continued operation of the facilities during the renewal term would endanger public safety or the environment. Specifically, licensees would be required to assess the effect of age-related degradation on systems, structures, and components important to license renewal. The assessment results would be used to determine what activities and modifications would be necessary at the time of license renewal and throughout the renewal term to ensure continued safe operation of the plants. The licensee would be required to identify and incorporate into its licensing basis the activities necessary for managing plant aging, thereby ensuring that adequate margins of safety would be preserved throughout the renewal term. The management of aging activities would include replacement, refurbishment, surveillance, online monitoring, inspections, testing, trending, and record keeping for each selected component, as appropriate. Such activities would include monitoring the key parameters identified as a result of aging assessments and implementing corrective measures, as required, by comparing monitoring results against appropriate criteria. Most utilities are expected to begin preparation for license renewal approximately 10 to 20 years prior to the expiration of their original licenses. The inspection, surveillance, test, and maintenance programs for licensee renewal would be integrated gradually into plant operations over a period of years. It is assumed that plant modifications undertaken specifically for license renewal would probably be completed within normal plant outage cycles beginning eight years before the original license expires and during one nine-month refurbishment outage immediately before the original license expires. Normal plant refurbishment, maintenance, and repair would continue as in the past during renewal activities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: While allowing for the continued generation of power for industrial, commercial, and residential consumers, the license renewal rules would ensure safe operation of the affected nuclear facilities. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR, Part 54).

AN - 36399962; 5797 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan for the closure or long-term management of the Western New York Nuclear Service Center (WNYNSC), which is located 30 miles southeast of Buffalo, New York, is proposed. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (ERDA) holds title to and manages the WNYNSC on behalf of the people of New York. The WNYNSC contains a reprocessing facility that operated from 1966 to 1972 and produced 600,000 gallons of liquid high-level radioactive waste. The WNYNSC also contains two radioactive waste disposal areas: a 15-acre disposal area that operated from 1963 to 1975 and a five-acre area that that operated from 1966 to 1986. In 1980, the Department of Energy (DOE) assumed management of the former reprocessing facility, the five-acre disposal area, the high-level radioactive waste tanks, waste lagoons, and aboveground waste storage areas. ERDA retained responsibility for the balance of the WNYNSC, including the 15-acre disposal area. This draft EIS considers alternatives for completing DOE decontamination and decommissioning activities and providing for ERDA's closure or long-term management of the site. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative IV), are under consideration. Alternative I would remove existing facilities, including buried waste, so there would be minimal remnants of nuclear operations. Alternative II would also remove existing facilities with the exception of some wastes that would continue to be stored on-site. Alternative III would fix in place or stabilize contaminated structures and buried wastes, remove uncontaminated structures, and place low-level wastes in an on-premises disposal facility. Alternative IV would manage the site as is and provide long-term management and maintenance. Alternative V would discontinue operations and leave the site without undertaking any closure actions. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Closure of the facility would reduce long-term maintenance requirements and costs, and improve public safety. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Plans to transport radioactive waste would expose workers to radiation. Public health and safety would be seriously threatened in the unlikely event of a transportation accident.

The experiments were conducted at four scales, in small cores (2.5-cm long by 6-cm across), a large core (12-cm long by 10-cm across), a small block containing a single fracture (20X21X93 cm), and at field scales in boreholes (30-m long by 10-cm across) at three scales (1/2-, 1- and 3-meters). The smallest scale in the laboratory provided isothermal hydraulic and thermal properties of unfractured rock. Nonisothermal heat, fluid and solute transport experiments were conducted using the large core. Isothermal gas and liquid flow experiments were conducted in the fractured block. Field-scale experiments using air were used to obtain in situ permeability estimates as a function of the measurement scale. Interpretation of experimental results provides guidance for resolving uncertainties related to radionuclide migration from high level waste repositories in unsaturated fractured rock.

AN - 36398966; 5571 AB - PURPOSE: The reclamation of an existing uranium mill tailings pile by Atlas Corporation at its uranium mill site near Moab, Utah, is proposed. The mill ceased operating in 1984 and is being dismantled. The 10.5-million-ton, 130-acre mill tailings pile needs to be reclaimed for long-term disposal. Issues identified during the scoping process focus on the site's location on the Colorado River floodplain near the town of Moab and the Arches National Park. Contaminated materials are currently escaping the tailings pile at low rates, and tailings leachates are slowly diffusing downward into groundwater, some of which moves horizontally and enters the Colorado River. In addition, radioactive gas slowly escapes the tailings pile and enters the air. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, under which the NRC would make no licensing decision and Atlas would cease operations involving the management of the tailings (this is not considered a viable alternative), are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would require an amendment to Atlas's license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The amendment would enable Atlas to stabilize the tailings pile for permanent disposal in its current location at the Moab site, place the site under the long-term custodial care of the federal government, and prepare the site for closure. Under the proposal, the side slopes would be reduced to 30 percent or less to minimize the effects of erosion and possible earthquakes. Also, an earth and rock cover system would be installed over the pile to minimize radon escape, infiltration of rain water into the tailings, infiltration of tailings contaminants into groundwater, and tailings erosion potentially caused by surface runoff and flooding of the Colorado River and a nearby ephemeral channel known as Moab Wash. Earth and cover materials would be obtained from several possible borrow sites nearby. Following reclamation, future commercial reuse of roughly half of the site would be precluded. The estimated costs of the proposed action range from $11.0 million to $17.0 million. An alternative site located 18 miles northwest of the town of Moab is also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the contaminated material at the site would be stabilized and solidified, which would substantially reduce risks to the environment and to human health. The proposed reclamation would minimize the risks from these contamination routes of contaminated material tailings and radioactive gas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: After reclamation, tailings leachates would continue to enter the Colorado River but at a much slower rate than currently; these leachates would have a slight adverse effect on aquatic biota.

We herein examined the value of morphometric evaluation of silver-stained nucleolar organizer regions (AgNOR) in the detection of epithelial foci in malignant transformation following dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene-induced carcinogenesis of hamster cheek pouch. AgNOR-related parameters were analyzed at different stages of the process of carcinogenesis (control epithelium, epithelium with no unusual microscopic features, "dysplastic" epithelium, exophytic and endophytic carcinomas).

Many other utilities expect to fill their pools soon and will need to do something if they want to continue operating. The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has inspected a number of utilities and cask manufacturing sites over the past few years. This paper presents some of the problems that we have seen regarding quality assurance, cask moving, record keeping, and testing requirements.

The planned SSI studies are performed at a stiff soil site in Hualien, Taiwan, that historically has had slightly more destructive earthquakes in the past than Lotung. The objectives of the LSST program are as follows: to obtain earthquake-induced SSI data at a stiff soil site having similar prototypical nuclear power plant soil conditions; to confirm the findings and methodologies validated against the Lotung soft soil SSI data for prototypical plant condition applications; to validate further the technical basis of realistic SSI analysis approaches; to support further the resolution of USI A-40 'Seismic Design Criteria' issue. These objectives are accomplished through an integrated and carefully planned experimental program consisting of soil characterization, test model design and field construction, instrumentation layout and deployment, in situ geophysical information collection, forced vibration test, and synthesis of results and findings. The Hualien LSST is a joint effort among many interested parties. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) are the organizers of the program and have the lead in planning and managing the program. Other organizations participating in the LSST program are the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI), Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), Commissariat A L'Energie Atomique (CEA), Electricite de France (EdF), Framatome, Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety (KINS), and Korea Power Engineering Company (KOPEC). The LSST array started operation in June 1993, and is envisioned to be of five years duration.

Diyala River had more algal taxa (85 taxa) than Tigris (36 taxa). Bacillariophyta was dominated in both rivers (40 and 46 taxa, respectively) followed by Chlorophyta then Cyanophyta. Other phyla were also observed. The total phytoplankton and diatom biomass at both rivers showed seasonal variation with low densities in January (10544 x 10 super(3) cell/l) and high in November (90515 x 10 super(3) cell/l). Lower diversity index was observed at stations which affected by wastewater inflow. The saprobiological investigations for both rivers were discussed. The water of Tigris and Diyala rivers considered as beta -to- alpha -mesosaprobic. JF - J. ENVIRON. SCI. HEALTH, PART A: ENVIRON. SCI. ENG. TOXIC HAZARD. SUBST.

A study has been conducted to provide technical information to establish the performance criterion for containment tests, i.e. the allowable leakage rate, commensurate with its significance to total public risk. For the study, the results used were from a comprehensive study conducted by the NRC (NUREG-1150, 'Severe accident risks: an assessment for five U.S. nuclear power plants') to examine the sensitivity of containment leakage to public risk. Risk was found to be insensitive to a containment leakage rate up to levels of about 100%, volume per day for certain types of containments. Probabilistic risk assessment methods have also been developed to establish risk-based intervals for containment tests on the basis of experience. Evaluations show that increasing the interval for the integrated containment leakage test from three times to once every 10 years would have an insignificant impact on public risk. Analyses of operational experience data for local leak rate tests show that performance-based testing (valves and penetrations that preform well are tested less frequently) is feasible with a marginal impact on safety. These technical studies have been used to develop efficient (cost-effective) requirements for containment tests.

The study covers the analysis of reference samples of imported foods, mainly meat and milk, for super(137)Cs and super(134)Cs contamination using a low level gamma spectrometer. The purpose of this study is to determine whether it is necessary to control food imports in order to reduce the risk from intake of radionuclides by the Ghanaian public resulting from transboundary contamination. Measurement of caesium levels in various foods over a period of seven years has shown contamination to be within the recommended action levels for international trade in foods. The committed effective dose for intakes in any single year is far below the 1 mSv annual dose recommended by the ICRP in Publication 60.

The groundwaters flowing through the different aquifers are differentiated by their chemical ratios and their isotopic composition. The evolution of chemical facies of groundwater from the recharge area towards the basin outlet is characterized by the increasing sodium and magnesium contents as a result of silicate leaching. The stable isotope compositions of spring waters match the Mediterranean meteoric water line, while the groundwaters from the central zone and from the major springs of the Yarmouk Basin are mixtures of fresh water, which is isotopically depleted, and salty groundwater of the Laja plateau area. The interpretations of tritium and radiocarbon ( super(14)C) data indicate that the recharge zones of the groundwater in the Yarmouk Basin occur on land of more than 1000 m altitude. The residence time of the mountainous springs is short (about 100 a or less). However, water ages corrected by Vogel's concept and Gonfiantini's model show, in general, a range from 1000 to 10 000 a for the central zone groundwater. The groundwater moves from Mt Hermon and Mt Arab towards the central zone and from the northeast (i.e. the Laja plateau) towards the southwest (i.e. the major springs). The radiometric flow velocities range from 20 to 60 m/a within the central zone, while the flow velocities from both sides of Mt Hermon and Mt Arab are lower (1-7 m/a).

Passive radon diffusion dosemeters using polycarbonate detectors were distributed in houses all over Syria. Detectors were subjected to electrochemical etching to reveal latent tracks of alpha particles. The mean radon concentration in Syrian houses was found to be 45 Bq m super(-3) with some values several times higher. This investigation indicated that there were a few houses in Syria that require remedial action. Most houses that have high levels of radon were found in the southern area, especially in the Damascus governorate. The study also indicated that radon concentrations were higher in old houses built from mud with no tiling.

AN - 36405879; 5187 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a groundwater remediation project for 24 sites affected by uranium processing activities for varying lengths of time from the 1940s to the 1970s is proposed. At many of these sites, no effort was made to prevent the spread of mill tailings by wind and water erosion after processing activities ceased; as a result, uranium mill tailings were spread beyond the boundaries of the mill site. Except for one site in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, all sites are located in western states. Lands contaminated with uranium range from 21 acres at the Spook, Wyoming, site to 612 acres at Ambrosia, New Mexico. A total of 3,900 acres and 39 million cubic yards of material were contaminated at the 24 sites. The Department of Energy estimates that 4.7 billion gallons of groundwater were contaminated at these sites. Under the proposed action, a consistent, risk-based approach would be used in order to meet the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) groundwater standards at each site. Each stage of the site evaluation would consider the public health and environment in determining the appropriate strategy in meeting groundwater standards. If groundwater contamination at a particular site did not exceed background levels or maximum concentration limits, no remediation would be required. When exceedances do occur, the next step would be to determine whether compliance with the EPA standards could be achieved by applying supplemental standards based on the existence of limited use groundwater. If these standards were not protective, alternate concentration limits would be applied. Groundwater monitoring and institutional controls would be applied if alternate concentration limits were not adequate. Additional steps would involve natural flushing, gradient manipulation, geochemical barriers, and other types of active remediation methods. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Remediation efforts would be implemented where necessary in order to protect human health and prevent radioactive substances from entering the food chain or affecting sensitive habitats or wildlife. Implementation under the proposed action would be more cost effective than under a more aggressive plan that would restore all sites regardless of the level of contamination. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land and water use would be restricted on sites eligible for natural flushing or active remediation. This land would not be available for other uses while the remediation efforts are in progress; in some cases, remediation efforts could last for 100 years.

The multiphase flow equations are solved using the two-pressure, mixed form of the equations with a modified Picard linearization of the equations and a finite element spatial approximation. A volatile contaminant is assumed to be transported in either phase, or in both phases simultaneously. The contaminant partitions between phases with an equilibrium distribution given by Henry's Law or via kinetic mass transfer. The transport equations are solved using a Galerkin finite element method with reduced integration to lump the resultant matrices. The numerical model is applied to published experimental studies to examine the behavior of the air phase and associated contaminant movement under water infiltration. The model is also used to evaluate a hypothetical design for a low-level radioactive waste disposal facility. The model has been developed in both one and two dimensions; documentation and computer codes are available for the one-dimensional flow and transport model. JF - NUREG/CR (United States.

AN - 36410448; 4999 AB - PURPOSE: The licensing of the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, a two-unit nuclear power plant, located approximately 50 miles northeast of Chattanooga on the Tennessee River in Rhea County, Tennessee, is proposed. The 1,770-acre plant site is located on the west bank of the Chickamauga Reservoir, on federal property under the control of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), which designed and built the plant and plans to operate it. Each identical 3,425-megawatt (3,425-MW) thermal unit would employ a four-loop, pressurized-water reactor nuclear steam supply system furnished by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The net electrical output of each unit would be 1,160 MW of electricity. In December 1978, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a final EIS to support the issuance of operating licenses for the two units. At the time, unit one was approximately 85 percent complete and unit two was roughly 65 percent complete. Construction delays, however, have delayed the completion schedule for both facilities. Unit one is currently nearing completion, and TVA expects to start generating electricity at the unit by mid-1995. The completion of unit two is being reevaluated. This final supplement to the final EIS considers changes in the environment, plant design, and proposed methods of operation since 1978. The NRC staff concluded that no significant changes in environmental impacts have occurred since the issuance of the 1978 EIS. The facility has already been granted an NPDES Permit specifying controls on thermal discharges, chemical wastes, and other hazardous wastes. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would supply needed electrical power to the Tennessee Valley and benefit the local economy, employing roughly 1,800 persons by mid-1995. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 967 acres of rural, partially-wooded land would be unavailable for other uses during the 40-year life of the plant. An estimated 2,008 acres of land would be used for transmission line corridors and/or switchyards and maintained under controlled conditions. Approximately 64 cubic feet per second of water would be lost from the cooling towers. Fish impinged on the water-intake screen would be killed, and some organisms would be entrained in the cooling water. Small amounts of chemicals would be discharged into the reservoir.

AN - 77170765; 7883556 AB - In recent years, the metal recycling industry has become increasingly aware of an unwanted component in metal scrap--radioactive material. Worldwide, there have been 35 instances where radioactive sources were unintentionally smelted in the course of recycling metal scrap. In some cases contaminated metal consumer products were distributed internationally. In at least one case, serious radiation exposures of workers and the public occurred. Radioactive material appearing in metal scrap includes sources subject to licensing under the Atomic Energy Act and also naturally occurring radioactive material. U.S. mills that have smelted a radioactive source face costs resulting from decontamination, waste disposal, and lost profits that range from 7 to 23 million U.S. dollars for each event. To solve the problem, industry and the government have jointly undertaken initiatives to increase awareness of the problem within the metal recycling industry. Radiation monitoring of recycled metal scrap is being performed increasingly by mills and, to a lesser extent, by scrap processors. The monitoring does not, however, provide 100% protection. Improvements in regulatory oversight by the government could stimulate improved accounting and control of licensed sources. However, additional government effort in this area must be reconciled with competing priorities in radiation safety and budgetary constraints.

The report presents a summary of earthquake experience data which define the behavior of typical U.S. power plant piping subject to strong motion earthquakes. The report defines those piping system caveats which would assure the seismic adequacy of the piping systems which meet those caveats and whose seismic demand are within the bounding spectra input. Based on the observed behavior of piping in strong motion earthquakes, the report distinguishes between the capabilities of the piping system to carry seismic loads as a function of the type of connection (i.e., threaded vs welded). This report also discusses in some detail the basic causes and mechanisms for earthquake damages and failures to power plant piping systems. JF - NUREG/CR (United States.

AN - 75503747; 8868581 AB - This paper is related to periodic continuous responses of a new state derived from the interaction between low energies and matter. This effect was predicted by categoric developments and then verified by a photographic methodology. This experimental way is again used and once more it reveals new evidences on the structure of the irradiated matter and, consequently, on the mathematical properties of a Cartesian product operation used for the representations. Experiments with successive irradiations with visible light (lambda = 546.1 nm; I = 3350 lux) on a photographic developer (methyl-p-aminephenol sulfate) are reported.

An important mechanism for attenuating radionuclide migration is sorption of radionuclides on minerals encountered along the flow paths. To support the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) HLW program, the Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses (CNWRA) is conducting research activities under the Sorption Modeling for HLW Performance Assessment (PA) Research Project. The broad objectives are to develop sufficient understanding of radionuclide transport issues so that timely prelicensing guidance can be provided to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and a sound basis be available for evaluating the DOE license application (LA). Specifically, the results will be used in addressing NRC needs in evaluating the use of empirical sorption coefficients in modeling sorption.

The NRC staff recognizes water table fluctuations at the Yucca Mountain as a key indicator of overall behavior of the groundwater system. In drafting a review plan regarding future water table rise, the NCR staff believes that the Department of Energy (DOE) must evaluate some assumptions to demonstrate compliance. Based on the DOE's site characterization program results and the results of NRC's research and performance assessment, the review plan will be modified to ensure a thorough review of DOE's compliance demonstration approach.

The evaluation provides information on the use of the steel as a container material in the proposed Yucca Mountain high-level waste repository. Uniform corrosion rates measured over 4 months ranged from 10 to 40 mu m/year, in initially aerated static solutions under gamma irradiation at 1.3 x 10 super(6) rad/h. Irradiation effects on uniform corrosion rates were not discernible after 4 months. Pitting corrosion was also found, but the pitting factor was small. Microstructural effects on corrosion were not significant. During corrosion under irradiation, there was an indication of a large amount of hydrogen absorption in the steel. Constant extension rate tests showed evidence for environmental assisted cracking under free corrosion conditions, and strong evidence of hydrogen embrittlement and moisture-induced ductility loss. The use of the test results in support of the Yucca Mountain project is discussed.

In pursuance of the Ghana Atomic Energy Act 204 of 1963, as amended, Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) Law 308 and the enactment of further regulation, Radiation Protection Instrument, LI 1559 of 1993, the Radiation Protection Board was established to regulate the introduction and conduct of any practice involving sources of ionising radiation in the country. The Radiation Protection Board is the National Competent Authority for registration or licensing and inspection of practices in Ghana for the purposes of radiation protection and safety. Being the sole regulatory authority, it should have an inventory of all radiation sources either imported into the country, or already in existence in the country, as well as a system of control for their safe use.

The procedure was of particular interest for possible application to the decontamination of radioactive aqueous streams. There was evidence to suggest that 5 of the 7 variables examined had a positive and significant effect on the freeze decontamination efficiency and these were: a reduced cooling rate, higher ultrasound intensity, the use of a stainless steel cooling surface, air in the solution and initial freezing at a low level of supercooling. Of these variables, the most significant was the ultrasound intensity.

The Cerenkov signal produced by bismuth-214 and lead-214 in secular equilibrium with radium-226 was used to determine radium-226. Radium was separated from interfering elements by co-precipitation on barium sulphate. The precipitate was dissolved in an alkaline solution of EDTA. The Cerenkov signal produced by the build-up of the beta-emitting activities of bismuth-214 and lead-214 was counted after 25 d using the tritium channel of a liquid scintillation counter. A correction for any contribution by radium-224 and radium-228 was included. The method was applicable to any type of sample obtainable in aqueous form and was applied to the determination in spiked, lake, stream and well waters.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-12 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Liquefaction method for assessing paleoseismicity AN - 51058753; 1996-038160 AB - Paleoseismicity studies expand our knowledge of seismic activity into the prehistoric period and thereby can improve our understanding of the earthquake potential of various regions. Paleoseismology is proving especially useful in eastern North American, where the recurrence interval of large earthquakes is longer than the historic record of earthquakes. Because surface traces of seismogenic faults have been difficult to identify in eastern North America, most paleoseismicity studies have employed features resulting from liquefaction. The goals of paleoliquefaction studies are to deterimine the recurrence intervals, magnitudes, and source areas of prehistoric earthquakes. To accomplish these goals, one must be able to identify earthquake-induced liquefaction features, determine their ages, and map their distribution. This report reviews (1) sediment deformation structures, (2) methods for dating liquefaction features, and (3) relationships between liquefaction and the magnitude and distance of causative earthquakes. Recent studies by the author in Quebec Province, Canada and in the New Madrid Seismic zone of the central US provide the basis for the report. JF - NUREG/CR (United States.

Experimental work is being performed in large scale lysimeters at Beltsville, MD and results of the assessment are applicable to disposal of LLW, uranium mill tailings, hazardous waste, and sanitary landfills. Three concepts are under investigation: (1) resistive layer barrier, and (2) conductive layer barrier, and bioengineering water management. The resistive layer barrier consists of compacted earth (clay). The conductive layer barrier is a special case of the capillary barrier and it requires a flow layer (e.g. fine sandy loam) over a capillary break. As long as unsaturated conditions are maintained water is conducted by the flow layer to below the waste. This barrier is most efficient at low flow rates and is thus best placed below a resistive layer barrier. Such a combination of the resistive layer over the conductive layer barrier promises to be highly effective provided there is no appreciable subsidence. Bioengineering water management is a surface cover that is designed to accommodate subsidence. It consists of impermeable panels which enhance run-off and limit infiltration. Vegetation is planted in narrow openings between panels to transpire water from below the panels. This system has successfully dewatered two lysimeters thus demonstrating that this procedure could be used for remedial action ("drying out") existing water-logged disposal sites at low cost.

AN - 36414662; 4845 AB - PURPOSE: The licensing of the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, a two-unit nuclear power plant, located approximately 50 miles northeast of Chattanooga on the Tennessee River in Rhea County, Tennessee, is proposed. The plant site occupies 1,770-acre on the west bank of the Chickamauga Reservoir, on federal property under the control of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), which designed and built the plant and plans to operate it. Each identical 3,425-megawatt-thermal unit would employ a four-loop pressurized water reactor nuclear steam supply system furnished by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The net electrical output of each unit would be 1,160 megawatts of electricity. In December 1978, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a final EIS to support the issuance of operating licenses for the two units. At the time, unit one was approximately 85 percent complete and unit two was roughly 65 percent complete. Construction delays, however, have delayed the completion schedule for both facilities. Unit one is currently nearing completion, and TVA expects to start generating electricity at the unit by mid-1995. The completion of unit two is being reevaluated. This draft supplement to the final EIS considers changes in the environment, plant design, and proposed methods of operation since 1978. The NRC staff concluded that no significant changes in environmental impacts have occurred since the issuance of the 1978 EIS. The facility has already been granted an NPDES Permit specifying controls on thermal discharges, chemical wastes, and other hazardous wastes. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would supply needed electrical power to the Tennessee Valley and would benefit the local economy, employing roughly 1,800 persons by mid-1995. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 967 acres of rural, partially-wooded land would be unavailable for other uses during the 40-year life of the plant. An estimated 2,008 acres of land would be used for transmission line corridors and/or switchyards and be maintained under controlled conditions. Approximately 64 cubic feet per second of water would be lost from the cooling towers. Fish impinged on the water-intake screen would be killed, and some organisms would be entrained in the cooling water. Small amounts of chemicals would be discharged into the reservoir.

AN - 15225162; 4843 AB - PURPOSE: The licensing of in situ leach (ISL) uranium mining operations at two locations in McKinley County, New Mexico, is proposed. The applicant, Hydro Resources, Inc., would conduct ISL mining operations at its Church Rock site, which consists of 3,000 acres of leased public lands northeast of Gallup, New Mexico, and to perform central processing at a nearby plant in Crownpoint, New Mexico. The applicant would construct and operate a network of injection and recovery wells at the Crown Rock site; barren mining solution known as lixivant would be injected through these wells into an ore zone, and pregnant lixivant withdrawn. Each well would be pumped at about 25 gallons per minute. The uranium slurry would be transported to the Crownpoint facility for further processing. The uranium would be recovered from the mining solution by circulating it through ion exchange columns. All uranium slurry produced would be dried using a single dryer located in the central processing plant near Crownpoint. Groundwater quality would be restored by sweeping the ore zone with outlying clean groundwater and flushing the zone by recirculating injected decontaminated water. Treated water that meets groundwater standards would be recirculated in the aquifer during restoration, or injected back into the Westwater Canyon sandstone in a location isolated from mine units. Excess water that cannot be disposed of in this manner would be applied to the land using standard irrigation equipment. After mining operations have concluded, each site would be decontaminated or decommissioned, all contaminated material would be removed to a licensed waste disposal site, and all disturbed areas would be reclaimed for unrestricted use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would provide raw material to fabricate uranium fuel elements for reactors used by the commercial electric power generating industry. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mine operations would reduce the wildlife and grazing capacity of the lease areas. Accidental failure of retention pond embankments would contaminate groundwater and surface water.

AN - 77114830; 7654320 AB - We have investigated the influence of the cellular adaptive response to ionizing radiation on radiation-induced apoptosis in human cells. The adaptive response is believed to be a protective mechanism that confers resistance to the detrimental effects of ionizing radiation and that can be induced by different agents, including hyperthermia and radiation. We have used fluorescence analysis of DNA unwinding (FADU) to assay the induction of apoptosis in human peripheral blood lymphocytes by ionizing radiation. Using the FADU assay, we have observed the initial radiation-induced DNA damage, its subsequent disappearance due to enzymatic repair, and its time- and dose-dependent reappearance. We believe this reappearance of DNA damage to be indicative of the DNA fragmentation event associated with apoptosis. This interpretation has been supported at the individual cell level using an in situ terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TDT) assay (Apoptag, Oncor Inc.), which detects the 3'-hydroxyl ends of fragmented DNA, and by fluorescence analysis of nuclear morphology in Hoechst 33258 stained cells. Pretreatment of cells with low-dose gamma-radiation (0.1 Gy) or mild hyperthermia (40 degrees C for 30 min) altered the extent of radiation-induced (3 Gy) apoptosis. Both pretreatments sensitized lymphocytes to become apoptotic after the 3-Gy radiation exposure. This sensitization may represent an adaptive response mechanism that reduces the risk that genetically damaged cells will proliferate. The ability to modify the probability of radiation-induced apoptosis may lower the cancer risk from a radiation exposure.

Some deficiencies of these joint models and their implementation in UDEC were identified. These deficiencies include that the rock joint models under evaluation may not be able to sufficiently predict the joint shear and dilation behavior during reverse joint shearing. Both joint forward and reverse shearing are important phenomena of a rock joint behavior. Reverse shearing can result from earthquakes, thermal load, or both - all of which are expected to be experienced during the life of a high-level waste repository. These deficiencies could result in an overestimation of the stability of emplacement drifts and emplacement boreholes and prediction of incorrect near-field flow pattern (including preferential pathways for water and gas).

AN - 36395799; 4759 AB - PURPOSE: The amending of Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations in order to provide radiological criteria for decommissioning lands and facilities at nuclear facilities is proposed. Once licensed activities have ceased, current NRC regulations require licensees to decommission their facilities so that the property can be released for reuse. Radioactivity in buildings, equipment, soil, groundwater, and surface water must be reduced to levels low enough to allow license termination. Current NRC regulations do not include explicit radiological criteria for decommissioning; instead, the nuclear industry uses criteria and practices contained in several NRC guidance documents that been used for a number of years. Under the rulemaking alternatives considered in this draft EIS, policy would involve setting residual criteria at certain limits or goals using a risk basis; requiring that a site's residual contamination be returned to background conditions; requiring that there be restrictions on future use of sites; and requiring the use of best available remediation technologies. Although this draft EIS does not present the text of a proposed new regulation, it does present recommendations for the development of radiological criteria. These recommendations include revising the definition of decommissioning to provide for the termination of a license and the release of property under restricted conditions. Site release limits would be established and licensees would be required to demonstrate that residual radioactivity at the site is as far below the limit as reasonably achievable. In addition to meeting a limit, licensees would also reduce contamination below the limit to levels that are as low as reasonably achievable. Licensees unable to meet the requirement for unrestricted use would be allowed to request permission to release sites for restricted use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Some of the older and larger nuclear facilities in the U.S. are reaching the end of their useful lives and need to be decommissioned. The regulations would provide consistency in the decommissioning process and protect the public. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Achieving dose limits for the unrestricted release of a site would increase industry operating costs. These costs would include direct labor costs to perform the decontamination, overhead costs, costs of materials, and costs of waste packaging, transport, and disposal.

Preparation date: September 7, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF CLAIBORNE ENRICHMENT CENTER, HOMER, CLAIBORNE PARISH, LOUISIANA. AN - 36408648; 4753 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a gaseous centrifuge uranium enrichment facility in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, is proposed. The facility, which would be owned and operated by Louisiana Energy Services L.P., would be located on 442 acres of land roughly five miles northeast of Homer, Louisiana. The enriched uranium produced at the facility would be used to fuel commercial nuclear power generating stations throughout the U.S. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the facility would use the gas centrifuge process to separate natural uranium hexafluoride (UF6) feed material containing 0.71 weight percent U235 into a product stream enriched up to 5.0 weight percent U235 and a tails stream containing approximately 0.2 weight percent U235. Production capacity at design throughput would be approximately 1.5 separative work units per year. The facility would process approximately 4.7 million kilograms (kg) of UF6 per year, yielding approximately 866 metric tons of low-enriched uranium and 3,830 metric tons of depleted uranium tails in the form of UF6 annually. The major building at the site would be the separations building, where uranium would be converted to gaseous and liquid forms, enriched, and then converted to solid form; additional buildings would include a pump house, a centrifuge assembly building, a cylinder receipt and dispatch building, a standby diesel generator building, and other support facilities. Uranium would be handled in gaseous or liquid form only in the separation building. Facility construction would last six years, facility operation would last for 30 years, and decontamination and decommissioning would require an additional seven years. The total estimated investment required for the plant is $1.6 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, by the year 2000, the facility would supply about 17 percent of the U.S. requirement for enriched uranium and reduce dependence on more energy-intensive sources. The project would benefit the local economy, employing roughly 200 persons per year for construction and 180 persons for facility operation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the construction of the facility would involve clearing approximately 70 acres of recently cut wooded area, which could adversely affect the direction and flow rate of surface water runoff into Lake Avalyn and Blugill Pond. Facility operation would result in the production of gaseous, liquid, and solid waste. Average releases to the atmosphere would be 4.4 million becquerel annually. Approximately 9,500 cubic meters of treated effluents would be discharged annually into Bluegill Pond. Approximately 1,100 kilograms (kg) of low-level solid waste, 650 kg of hazardous waste, and 460 kg of mixed wastes would be generated annually. These wastes would be collected, inspected, and transferred to treatment facilities or disposed of at authorized waste disposal facilities. All anticipated radioactive releases would be below federal standards, provided no catastrophic accident occurs. The largest possible adverse effect would occur following the catastrophic failure of a hot cylinder containing liquefied UF6.

It provides the basic geological framework within which variations in geological parameters and features both in and adjacent to the potential repository block can be viewed and analyzed, submodels can be constructed (e.g., by incorporating hydrologic or rock properties data into the framework model), and alternative models can be considered. The 3D model is currently comprised of a stack of six lithostratigraphic horizons and includes the Bow Ridge, Ghost Dance, and Solitario Canyon faults. The cross section lines contain eight boreholes which provided additional subsurface control for use in construction of the model.

Important new information is presented such as the application and evaluation of procedures for estimating hydraulic, pneumatic, and solute transport coefficients for a range of thermal regimes. A field heater experiment was designed that focused on identifying the suitability of existing monitoring equipment to obtain required data. A reliable method was developed for conducting and interpreting tests for air permeability using a straddle-packer arrangement. Detailed studies of fracture flow from Queen Creek into the Magma Copper Company ore haulage tunnel have been initiated. These studies will provide data on travel time for transport of water and solute in unsaturated tuff. The collection of rainfall, runoff, and infiltration data at two small watersheds at the Apache Leap Tuff Site enabled us to evaluate the quantity and rate of water infiltrating into the subsurface via either fractures or matrix. Characterization methods for hydraulic parameters relevant to high-level waste transport, including fracture apertures, transmissivity, matrix porosity, and fracture wetting front propagation velocities, were developed.

The enhanced theory is used to predict field-scale effective properties and variances of tension and moisture content. Applications illustrate the important effects of small-scale heterogeneity on large-scale anisotropy and hysteresis and demonstrate the feasibility of simulating two-dimensional flow systems at time and space scales of interest in radioactive waste disposal investigations. Numerical algorithms for predicting field scale unsaturated flow and contaminant transport have been improved by requiring them to respect fundamental physical principles such as mass conservation. These algorithms are able to provide realistic simulations of systems with very dry initial conditions and high degrees of heterogeneity. Numerical simulation of the simultaneous movement of water and air in unsaturated soils has demonstrated the importance of air pathways for contaminant transport. The stochastic flow and transport theory has been used to develop a systematic approach to performance assessment and site characterization. Prediction uncertainties have been quantified by considering the role of both natural heterogeneity and measurement error. Hypothesis-testing techniques have been used to determine whether model predictions are consistent with observed data. JF - NUREG/CR (United States.

This guideline describes in detail the aseismic design techniques used in Japan for nuclear power plants. It contains chapters dealing with the selection of earthquake ground motions for a site, the investigation of foundation and bedrock conditions, the evaluation of ground stability and the effects of ground movement on buried piping and structures, the analysis and design of structures, and the analysis and design of equipment and distribution systems (piping, electrical raceways, instrumentation, tubing and HVAC duct). The guideline also includes appendices which summarize data, information and references related to aseismic design technology. JF - NUREG/CR (United States.

This allows a more general understanding of geochemical processes in submarine hydrothermal systems, especially where a connection with sediment is not otherwise obvious (e.g., Endeavour Segment, Juan de Fuca Ridge). Based on B and delta (super 11) B corrected for wallrock reactions, all published boron and chloride data from mid-ocean ridge systems (MOR) (e.g., 11 degrees N, 13 degrees N and 21 degrees N of the East Pacific Rise), except for the Endeavour Segment, Juan de Fuca Ridge, are consistent with experimental phase separation data, suggesting a dominant control by the latter process. Fluids from sedimented ridge (SR) (e.g., Escanaba Trough and Guaymas Basin), and from back-arc basins (BAB) (e.g., Mariana Trough, Lau Basin and Okinawa Trough), when compared with mid-ocean ridge data, show expected effects of organic matter and/or sediment contributions. This is particularly noticeable from enhanced levels of Br, I, NH (sub 4) , and trace alkali metal contents (such as Li, Rb and Cs). High B concentrations and elevated delta (super 11) B in Endeavour Segment can be explained by a small, but distinguishable contribution from sediments, which is confirmed by slightly enhanced levels of Br, I and NH (sub 4) .

Tumour promotion and control skin samples were processed for identification of AgNOR by light microscopy and submitted to a morphometric study of the following AgNOR-related variables: nuclear area (V.NUC); AgNOR number per nucleus (N.NOR); single AgNOR area (V.NOR); total AgNOR area per nucleus (TV.NOR) and proportion of nucleus occupied by AgNOR (TV.NOR/V.NUC). N.NOR exhibited significant differences between control and tumour tissue, but in the promotion period, N.NOR did not exhibit a significant rise until week 24. V.NOR and TV.NOR rose significantly as early as 2 weeks after the onset of promotion when the cells fail to exhibit unusual microscopic features. The significant increase in AgNOR material at the beginning of the promotion period reveals the potential value of the variables assessed in the early quantitative evaluation of cellular alterations which could be linked to the probability of tumour development. Rise in AgNOR material would indicate transcriptional activation leading to an increase in protein synthesis and, ultimately, to the expression of an altered phenotype.

AN - 76681624; 7521058 AB - The behavior of the mast cell population was analyzed during the sequential changes that normal mice skin undergoes during experimental two-stage carcinogenesis. Our study reveals that the number of mast cells increased during the promotion period but that this alteration is confined to the 30-microns-wide strip below the epidermis. A different mast cell phenotype appeared in this area, compatible with an MMC-like phenotype. During the carcinogenesis process, the mast cell population is comprised of two distinct subpopulations that appeared simultaneously in the same tissue, i.e. connective tissue mast cells, normally found in the skin of mice, and the newly formed mucosal mast cell-like cells, currently found in gastrointestinal mucosa.

Our field investigations revealed that the San Simeon fault consists of two and possibly four or more major strands that define a southeast-tapering zone that is about 400 m wide at Oak Knoll Creek, narrowing to about 120 m at San Simeon Cove, 2.6 km to the southeast. Geologic and soils data from four sites within this fault reach show that the primary San Simeon fault traces are northwest-trending, vertical to near-vertical, right-slip faults that have subhorizontal striae and slickensides. The ratio of strike slip to dip slip on primary traces is > 10:1 at the Borrow Pit site and about 8:1 to 10:1 at Airport Creek. These faults have undergone multiple slip events during the Holocene. We estimate a slip rate for the fault zone of 0.9 to 3.4 mm/yr, with a best constrained value of 1.0 to 1.4 mm/yr. Although our studies are confined to one major strand within the fault zone, analysis of deformed marine terrace strandlines suggests this estimate may closely approximate the value for the fault zone as a whole. Two fault strands, one at Oak Knoll Creek and the other at Airport Creek, yield net slip estimates of 1 to 2 m per event. Based on estimates of both slip rate and net slip per event, recurrence frequencies for the San Simeon fault are estimated to fall within the range of 265 to 2,000 yr, with best constrained values between approximately 600 and 1,800 yr. Evidence at Airport Creek suggests that slip events have not occurred at uniform intervals.

Detailed studies of the offset marine terraces and drainages have provided data that we have used to estimate the late Pleistocene slip rate for this fault zone. In this study, we mapped four and five marine terraces to the northeast and southwest, respectively, of the southern onshore reach of the San Simeon fault zone. These terraces correlate with sea-level highstands at approximately 60 or 80, approximately 80 or 105, approximately 120, approximately 210, and approximately 330 ka. The marine terrace strandlines are displaced by the San Simeon fault zone along two or possibly three primary fault traces within a zone of shearing and warping up to 500 m wide. Ratios of horizontal to vertical slip are 8:1 to greater than 50:1, demonstrating that the fault is predominantly a right-lateral strike-slip fault. Estimated slip rates based on the present locations of strandlines for the San Simeon (80 or 105 ka), Tripod (120 ka), and Oso (210 ka) terraces, and paleogeographic reconstructions of the shoreline configurations during their development, range from about 0.4 to 11 mm/yr, with the best constrained values ranging from 1 to 3 mm/yr. Slip rates based on deflections and apparent offset of drainages across the primary active traces of the San Simeon fault zone are in agreement with the 1-t o 3-mm/yr values estimated from the marine terrace study. The San Simeon fault zone, therefore, accommodates a significant amount of transpressional strain along the North America-Pacific plate margin. The fault zone is part of the larger San Gregorio-San Simeon-Hosgri system of near-coastal faults. The geologically determined slip rate of 1 to 3 mm/yr is comparable to geodetically modeled estimates of fault-parallel shear west of the San Andreas fault.

The fault zone extends as a discontinuous en echelon zone from the Hosgri fault zone in Estero Bay southeast to an intersection with the West Huasna fault zone near Twitchell Reservoir, a distance of up to 57 km. The fault zone is divided into four segments based on distinct changes in recency of activity and slip rate along the fault: abrupt changes in elevation of the bordering San Luis Range, en echelon separation of fault traces, intersection with known or inferred branching or crossing structures (e.g., faults, subsiding basins), and changes in geomorphic expression from a range-front fault to an intrarange fault. From northwest to southeast, we propose naming the segments the Estero Bay, Irish Hills, Lopez Reservoir, and Newsom Ridge segments. The Estero Bay segment, 11 to 15 km long, lies primarily offshore in Estero Bay. Its recency of activity is unknown. The segment is poorly imaged on seismic reflection data and is weakly expressed in sea-floor bathymetry, suggesting a low rate of late Quaternary activity. The Irish Hills segment, which is 17 to 21 km long, exhibits the strongest expression of Holocene activity and is a well-defined range-front fault. Detailed mapping of marine terraces and trenching of fluvial deposits show that this segment has had recurrent late Pleistocene and Holocene movement at a long-term slip rate of 0.2 to 0.4 mm/yr. The adjacent Lopez Reservoir segment is a 15- to 19-km-long, poorly defined range-front fault that displaces older Quaternary alluvium. Detailed mapping and trenching indicate no Holocene activity. The Newsom Ridge segment is an 8-km-long, intrarange fault that has poor geomorphic expression and appears not to displace late Pleistocene deposits.

We applied the numerical inversion method of Carey and Brunier (1974) for fault slip data to obtain a mean direction of the maximum principal stress (sigma (sub 1) ) trending 202 degrees , 5 degrees for the late Pliocene-Quaternary. Similar orientations were determined from data of older units. In many late Pliocene-Quaternary sediments, conjugate sets of reverse faults are present, and based on the Anderson (1951) model of faulting, yield the same northeast-southwest-oriented axis of maximum compression. The predominant joint sets strike 030 degrees and 110 degrees , almost parallel and othogonal to large-scale fold axes of the area. The northeast sigma (sub 1) agrees with the present regional stress tensor determined from focal mechanisms, and indicates that since the late Pliocene the deformation of this area was by northeast-oriented crustal shortening. The slip indicators related to this tensor appear to overprint and often mask most of the indicators related to earlier stress regimes.

The seismogenic zone is approximately 12 km thick in the corridor, and forms a 90-km-wide border zone of the upper Pacific lithospheric plate. This border includes three provinces (from northeast to southwest): the San Andreas fault zone, an adjacent 40- to 50-km-wide seismically quiescent province, and a 40- to 50-km-wide compressive province along the coastline. These provinces are characterized by distinct focal parameters and distinct rock types, and transition boundaries between these provinces are relatively narrow. The upper crust in the quiescent province consists of high-strength granites of the Salinian block; in both the San Andreas and the contractional provinces, this part of the crust consists of low-strength Franciscan rocks. We conclude that differential strengths of the upper crustal rocks in the corridor have modified the broader, more regional stress fields acting across the North American-Pacific plates to produce the observed seismicity. The extent to which the earthquake data in the corridor corroborate the existence of a proposed deep detachment surface is examined. The detachment model has been suggested to account for the crustal shortening observed across the Coast Ranges (Crouch et al., 1984; Eaton, 1985), where lower crustal materials are being recycled into the mantle. The set of earthquake data analyzed here does not imply the presence of a detachment within the seismogenic zone; neither, although less directly, does it imply such a detachment at greater depth. If a deep detachment due to horizontal shortening does exist, it would be restricted to the southwest half of the corridor, as strike-slip, not horizontal shortening, predominates in the northeast half of the corridor. An alternate model, in which deformation beneath the seismogenic zone occurs by creep and flow over an extensive depth range, can be made to conform with upper crustal shortening in the southwest part of the corridor and with horizontal slip in the quiescent and the San Andreas provinces. Such types of deeper deformation are more consistent with the earthquake focal parameters in the corridor than is a detachment at or below the base of the seismogenic zone.

These interpretations are based on multi-sensor high-resolution seismic reflection data collected during January and February 1986. Water depths within the survey area range from 16 m (50 ft) nearshore to 70 m (230 ft) 3 mi west of Point Arguello. The sea floor slopes between 0.3 and 0.5 degrees south-westward. The thickness of unconsolidated Quaternary sediment in the survey area ranges from 0 (bedrock outcrop) to almost 50 m (165 ft) off Point Arguello. The survey area crosses the boundary between the northwest-trending Coast Ranges and the east-trending Transverse Ranges. The onshore faults and folds can be traced offshore in the seismic sections. From north to south, these faults include: (1) Pezzoni-Casmalia-Orcutt frontal fault, (2) Lions Head fault, (3) Santa Ynez River fault system, (4) Lompoc-Solvang fault, (5) Canada-Honda fault, and (6) several unnamed faults offshore Point Arguello. These faults are tentatively classified as potentially active because they do not offset a Pleistocene erosion surface and the Holocene unconsolidated sediments overlying that surface do not show offset in the seismic records. Although the faults are tentatively classified as potentially active, they may be seismically active as suggested by the limited earthquake data in the area. The seismic data show that the north-northwest-striking Hosgri fault zone decreases in both vertical and right-slip displacement toward the south. In the northern and central parts of the survey area, the fault zone consists of two subparallel branches. In the south, near Purisima Point and near the boundary between the Transverse and Coast Ranges, the north-northwest strike of the fault zone changes toward the east and the fault zone shows splays. Our interpretation of the data is that this area of splays may be the terminus of the Hosgri. If that is correct, then the amount of surface rupture due to earthquakes along this segment of the Hosgri is likely to be small, if surface ruptures occur at all.

Based on a suite of 7 soil and stratigraphic parameters determined from 17 soil profiles, the second, third, and fourth marine terraces west of the fault correlate best with the first, second, and third terraces east of it. Limited radiometric age control suggests that the first terrace west of the fault probably correlates to oxygen isotope Stage 3 at about 60 ka, whereas the second through forth terraces correlate to late and early Stage 5 and Stage 7 at about 80 to 105,120, and 200 to 230 ka, respectively.

Detailed mapping of these terraces provides new data for assessing the locations, style, and rates of Quaternary deformation in the region. The distribution, correlation, and ages of the terraces have been studied near San Simeon and on the flanks of the San Luis Range between Morro Bay and the Santa Maria Valley. In the San Simeon study area, sequences of four and five marine terraces have been mapped to the northeast and southwest, respectively, of the southern onshore reach of the San Simeon fault zone. From youngest to oldest, they are the Point (Q (sub p) ), San Simeon (Q (sub s) ), Tripod (Q (sub t) ), Oso (Q (sub o) ), and La Cruz (Q (sub lc) ) terraces. They are interpreted to correlate with marine oxygen isotope stages 3 or 5a (60 or 80 ka), 5a or 5c (80 or 105 ka), 5e (120 ka), 7 (210 ka), and 9 (330 ka). A uranium-series age of 46 + or - 2 ka and a weighted mean average thermoluminescence age of 95 + or - 13 ka have been obtained for samples collected from the lowest two emergent terraces, respectively, on the southwestern side of the fault zone. Estimated ages and correlation of terraces across the San Simeon fault zone are based on lateral correlation of the Tripod (Q (sub t) ) terrace to the well-dated approximately 120-ka Cayucos terrace, comparison of relative soil profile development, and comparison of geomorphic expression and terrace altitudinal spacing. Comparison of the relative altitudinal spacing of terraces with paleosea-level curves developed from worldwide data indicates uplift rates of approximately 0.17 + or - 0.02 m/kyr southwest, and 0.16 + or - 0.01 m/kyr northeast of the fault, and approximately 0.24 m/kyr for the uplifted and warped areas within the fault. Terrace altitudinal spacing for the lowest three terraces on San Simeon Point, however, indicates that uplift during the past 120,000 yr in this area has not been uniform adjacent to the active traces of the San Simeon fault zone. In the San Luis Range study area, a flight of at least 12 elevated marine terraces is present between Morro Bay and the northwestern margin of the Santa Maria Valley. The lower two terraces (Q (sub 1) and Q (sub 2) ) in this sequence are interpreted to correlate to marine oxygen isotope substages 5a (80 ka), and 5e (120 ka), respectively. These correlations are well constrained by 12 uranium-series ages of coral and vertebrate bone samples, 12 amino acid racemization analyses, and 14 paleoclimatic analyses of invertebrate faunal assemblages. The ages of the lower two terraces provide local calibration of the terrace sequence for correlation with paleosea-level curves developed from worldwide data. For terraces equal to or younger than about 330 ka, we have estimated terrace ages and uplift rates by correlating shoreline angle altitude and terrace altitudinal spacing to these curves. Uplift rates based on the present altitude of the 120-ka terrace in this region range from approximately 0.06 to 0.23 m/kyr. Late Pleistocene uplift rates throughout the entire coastal region between San Simeon to the Santa Maria Valley are comparable to rates observed elsewhere in California, which are approximately 0.1 to 0.3 m/kyr in tectonic regimes characterized by predominantly strike-slip faulting. The rates are considerably less than maximum rates of 3 to 5 m/kyr for the region directly south of the Mendocino Triple Junction, 5 to 7 m/kyr for areas characterized by significant crustal shortening, such as the Ventura anticline in the Transverse Ranges, and 0.8 m/kyr for the Santa Cruz Mountains region adjacent to the restraining bend in the San Andreas fault. Estimates of the position of sea level (with respect to the present) during the approximately 80-ka sea-level highstand range from about -19 m to near the present level. Estimated paleosea level during the approximately 80-ka high stand in the San Luis Range study area, assuming a +6 m paleosea-level estimate for the approximately 120-ka terrace and uniform uplift since formation of the approximately 120-ka terrace, is -4 + or - 1 m (relative to present sea level). This value is in general agreement with other recent estimates from coastal California, Mexico, and Japan, but is significantly higher than previous estimates from New Guinea and Barbados.

The Hosgri separates Transverse Range structure from offshore Santa Maria Basin structure and is a key element for any tectonic model that includes this economically significant region. Previous published maps have not adequately defined the southern termination of the HFZ, the style of faulting on the HFZ, and the relation of the HFZ to surrounding structures. Using more than 1,500 mi of processed seismic reflection data, we have mapped upper Miocene and Pliocene structure in the region of the HFZ offshore from Point Sal in the north, to Point Conception in the south where the HFZ ends against east-west structures in the westernmost Santa Barbara Channel. In the same area, east-west-trending structures in the western Transverse Ranges north of the channel abut against the HFZ. The HFZ is an oblique right-slip fault along most of its length, but significant changes in the style of faulting are associated with variations in fault trend. North of Point Arguello, the HFZ appears to dip at a high angle in the upper 2,000 m of section and is distinguishable from thrust and reverse faults developed to its west. Between Point Arguello and Point Conception it may be a northeast-dipping thrust. Along its mapped length, east-side-up vertical separation is typical and may be more than 400 m on a Pliocene unconformity. Older horizons show more separation; the lower Miocene is up on the east by almost 1 km off Purisima Point. However, individual en echelon segments of the fault show west-side-up vertical separation where expected in an oblique right-slip fault system. No piercing points were found to define strike separation. Pliocene drag folds indicate dextral slip in Pliocene and later time.

Mapping shows that the fault is at the southeastern base of the San Luis Range and contributed to the uplift of the range. The fault is divided into two structural sections: a western section that is a discrete fault zone that places lower Miocene rocks above overturned upper Pliocene strata, and an eastern segment that is partly a blind fault expressed at the surface in a monoclinal fault propagation fold. In both sections an upper Pliocene marine sand unit is offset vertically by 250 to 300 m, and offsets late Pleistocene marine terraces. Late Quaternary slip rates for both segments derived from the offset terraces are estimated at between 0.04 and 0.07 m/Ka. Although Holocene slip-rate data are lacking, the Wilmar Avenue fault zone is considered to be part of the seismogenic southwestern boundary zone of the San Luis/Pismo block (Slemmons and Clark, 1991) and could pose a seismic hazard to nearby communities.

Seismotectonic responses to interplate stresses vary markedly along this portion of the plate margin. Coastal central California is divided into structurally and physiographically distinct seismotectonic domains separated by major, predominantly Quaternary, boundary faults. Internally, seismotectonic domains are marked by distinctive styles and orientations of Quaternary faulting and folding, historical seismicity patterns, geomorphic expression, and basement rock characteristics. Five principal seismotectonic domains are recognized in this study: Transverse Ranges domain, Santa Maria Basin-San Luis Range domain, coastal Franciscan domain, Salinian domain, and western San Joaquin Valley domain. Major domain boundaries include the San Andreas, Nacimiento-Rinconada, San Gregorio-Hosgri, Big Pine, and Santa Monica-Raymond-Sierra Madre-Cucamonga faults. The Transverse Ranges domain is characterized by pronounced north-northeast-oriented maximum horizontal compressive stress and associated Quaternary crustal shortening, west-trending reverse and left-lateral reverse-oblique faults and earthquake focal mechanisms, and a frequent occurrence of damaging earthquakes. The Santa Maria Basin-San Luis Range domain has low to moderate rates of Quaternary tectonism, active west- to northwest-striking reverse faults, and low to moderate seismicity with mainly reverse and left-lateral reverse-oblique focal mechanisms. The coastal Franciscan domain includes numerous northwest-striking, mainly northeast-dipping, faults with uncertain earthquake potentials. Moderate seismicity and reverse and right-lateral reverse-oblique earthquake focal mechanisms indicate significant northeast-directed convergence and broad internal deformation of weak Franciscan Complex basement. The Salinian domain includes a moderate- to high-relief western region marked by abundant northwest-striking faults with uncertain Quaternary histories, and an eastern region with generally low relief and few recognized surface faults. Seismicity within the domain is sparse, typically with right-lateral strike-slip focal mechanisms. The western San Joaquin Valley domain is marked by young folds associated with active thrust and reverse faults in its central and southern portions and both shear and contractional deformation in the north. Seismicity occurs at a low to moderate rate, with mainly reverse and thrust fault focal mechanisms.

The range is uplifting as a relatively rigid crustal block along bordering northwest-striking reverse faults. Altitudes and ages of marine terraces show that the range is uplifting at rates of between 0.12 and 0.23 m/kyr, with little or no internal deformation. Major geologic structures within the range, including the Pismo syncline and the San Miguelito, Edna, and Pismo faults, do not deform Quaternary deposits or landforms and are not active structures in the contemporary tectonic setting. The northeastern margin of the range is bordered by the Los Osos fault zone, a southwest-dipping reverse fault that separates the uplifting San Luis Range from the subsiding or southwest-tilting Cambria block to the northeast. The fault zone has had recurrent late Pleistocene and Holocene displacement at a long-term slip rate of 0.2 to 0.7 mm/yr. Uplift of the range is accommodated, entirely or in part, by displacement along this fault zone. The southwest margin of the San Luis Range is bordered by a complex system of late Quaternary reverse faults that separates the range from the subsiding Santa Maria Basin to the southwest. The fault system includes the Wilmar Avenue, San Luis Bay, Olson, Pecho, and Oceano faults, all of which dip moderately to steeply to the northeast. The cumulative net dip-slip rate of displacement for this system of faults ranges from about 0.16 to about 0.30 mm/yr. Slip rates on individual faults generally range from 0.04 to 0.11 mm/yr. We infer that the style and rates of deformation occurring within and bordering the San Luis Range are representative of the style and rates of deformation occurring elsewhere in the LOSM domain. Crustal shortening in the domain is accommodated primarily by reverse faulting along the margins of structural blocks and by uplift, subsidence, or tilting of the blocks. In the southern and southeastern parts of the domain, crustal shortening also may be accommodated by active folding and thrust faulting. The west-northwest structural grain and tectonic style within the LOSM domain is unique in the south-central coastal California region, and is transitional between the west-trending structural grain of the western Transverse Ranges and the north-northwest-trending grain of the Santa Lucia and San Rafael Ranges. We interpret that Quaternary deformation within the domain is related to transpression along the North America/Pacific plate margin, renewed late Cenozoic clockwise rotation of the western Transverse Ranges, and convergence of the domain against the relatively stable Salinian crust that underlies much of the Santa Lucia and San Rafael Ranges to the northeast.

Design and evaluation of high integrity digital systems must include consideration of hardware, software, and human factors as they relate to safety. Two of the NRC sponsored research projects are discussed. The first project is 'Risk Impact of New Technologies', which has two objectives which are: (1) to demonstrate the feasibility of techniques for assessing how digital technology in instrumentation and control is expected to change human actions and error rates, system unavailability, and core damage frequency; and (2) to improve methods for analyzing this human performance in PRA's.

The dominant species were Cocconeis placentula var. euglypta and Nitzschia palea. Bacillariophyceae also showed the highest total cell number with two peaks, namely in August and April in an open area, and March and July in a closed area. A significant correlation between chlorophyll a and the total cell number was found in the closed area but not in the open one.

Acute uranium poisoning elicits renal failure which in turn may lead to death. Great efforts have been put into the search for a protective agent for acute uranium poisoning. Several chelating agents such as EDTA, Tiron, DTPA, or aminosalicylic acid have been experimentally assayed. However, even when these agents are able to reduce the mortality none of them achieve 100% survival. We herein present the use of EHBP to prevent mortality due to uranium poisoning. Rats weighing 14 g were employed in two different experiments: A) The surviving animals were killed on the 60th day; and B) The animals were killed on the 9th day. In both experiments 4 groups were considered: 1. untreated control; 2. one intraperitoneal (IP) injection of uranyl nitrate (2 mg kg super(-1) of body weight); 3. 1 IP injection of EHBP (10 mg kg super(-1) of body weight); and 4. treatments 2 and 3 combined. In both experiments 50% of the animals in group 2 died on the eighth day. All the animals of the other groups were alive at the end of the experiment. Histological analysis of the kidneys of the animals of experiment B revealed renal damage in the exposed animals, whereas no structural alterations were detected in the kidneys of the other three groups, including those given uranyl nitrate and treated with EHBP. These results show the efficiency of only one injection of EHBP to avoid renal damage and to counteract the mortality due to uranium poisoning with a success rate of 100%.

Concentrations of caesium-137, strontium-90, plutonium-239 plus 240, and polonium-210 in seawater samples were 6.1-8.4, 6-7, 0.03-0.05, and 4-6 mBq per litre, respectively. Sponges contained 2-3 times higher strontium-90 and plutonium-239 plus 240 levels than some algae. Caesium-137 activity ranged from 40-910 mBq per kg with lower values for fish and higher values for bottom feeders. Strontium-90 in crab shell was 20 times higher than in its soft tissue but polonium-210 levels in shell and soft tissue were similar. The results are compared with those for the Mediterranean region and are similar to the general fall-out activity levels observed for the Mediterranean region.

AN - 36411843; 4316 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a gaseous centrifuge uranium enrichment facility in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, is proposed. The proposed facility would be owned and operated by Louisiana Energy Services L.P. (LES), and would be located on 442 acres of land roughly five miles northeast of the city of Homer. The enriched uranium produced at the facility would be used to fuel commercial nuclear power generating stations throughout the U.S. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed facility would use the gas centrifuge process to separate natural uranium hexafluoride (UF6) feed material containing 0.71 weight percent U235 into a product stream enriched up to 5.0 weight percent U235 and a tails stream containing approximately 0.2 weight percent U235. Production capacity at design throughput would be approximately 1.5 million separative work units. The facility would process approximately 4.7 million kilograms (kg) of UF6 per year, yielding approximately 866 tons of low-enriched uranium and 3,830 tons of depleted uranium tails in the form of UF6 annually. The major building at the site would be the separations building, where uranium would be converted to gaseous and liquid forms, enriched, and then converted to solid form; additional buildings would include a pump house, a centrifuge assembly building, a cylinder receipt and dispatch building, a standby diesel generator building, and other support facilities. Uranium would be handled in gaseous or liquid form only in the separation building. Facility construction would last five years, facility operation for 30 years, and decontamination and decommissioning would require an additional five years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The production capacity, according to LES, would be about 17 percent of the estimated U.S. requirement in the year 2000. The project would benefit the local economy, employing roughly 230 persons per year for construction and 200 persons for facility operation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction of the proposed facility would involve the clearing of approximately 70 acres of recently cut wooded area, which could adversely affect the direction and flow rate of surface water runoff into Lake Avalyn and Blugill Pond. Facility operation would result in the production of gaseous, liquid, and solid waste. Average releases to the atmosphere would be 4.4 million becquerel annually. Approximately 11,340 cubic meters of treated effluents would be discharged annually into Bluegill Pond. Approximately 11,000 kilograms (kg) of low-level solid waste, 650 kg of hazardous waste, and 460 kg of mixed wastes would be generated annually. These wastes would be collected, inspected, and transferred to treatment facilities or disposed of at authorized waste disposal facilities. All anticipated radioactive releases would be below federal standards, provided that no catastrophic accident would take place. The largest possible adverse impact would take place following the catastrophic failure of a hot cylinder containing liquified UF6.

Lagrangian Analysis in a Stratified Aquifer AN - 19167084; 9310154 AB - An analytical approach was developed for describing the ensemble average of the second moment of a solute plume in heterogeneous porous media. The growth of the ensemble average second moment is related to the growth of the mean square separation of a pair of particles. Exact Lagrangian expressions were developed for the growth of the mean square separation in a perfectly stratified aquifer. These exact expressions are made possible by an exact relation between the Lagrangian and Eulerian velocity covariances in the perfectly stratified aquifer. The ensemble average second moment is shown to depend on the initial vertical dimensions of the concentration distribution. As the vertical size increases, the second moment growth rate is larger. The second moment expressions were contrasted with the expressions for the mean square displacement of a single particle. While all scales of heterogeneity contribute to the mean square displacement of a single particle, only scales of heterogeneity contribute to the mean square displacement of a single particle, only scales of heterogeneity smaller than the plume size contribute to the second moment. Asymptotic large displacement expressions for the case of a Gaussian covariance function describing the hydraulic conductivity variations were derived. These expressions indicate that at large displacement, the second moment grows as the 3/2 power of displacement. However, for any finite source size no matter how large, the second moment growth rate approaches a different asymptote from the rate of growth of the mean square displacement of a single particle. This is in conflict with the traditional notion of ergodicity which leads to the expectation that for large source sizes, the dispersivity approaches the rate of growth of the mean square displacement of a single particle.

Eulerian Analysis and Three-Dimensional Aquifers AN - 19151860; 9310155 AB - An analytical approach was developed for describing the ensemble average of the second moment of a solute plume in three-dimensional heterogeneous porous media. While existing approaches describe scale-dependent dispersion in terms of a single scale, the plume displacement, the approach developed presents an enhanced picture of scale-dependent dispersion involving two scales: the plume displacement and the plume scale. The plume scale arises naturally in the formulation, permitting a distinction between the dispersive role of heterogeneity at scales smaller than the plume size and the variability in the plume location caused by larger scale heterogeneity. A physically consistent description of scale-dependent dispersion is, thus, achieved. The growth of the ensemble average second moment is related to the product of concentration values at two points. The concept of the separation distribution function related to the latter is introduced. The separation distribution function physically describes the fraction of solute particles which have another solute particle at a given separation. An Eulerian partial differential equation based on a small perturbation approach was developed to describe the evolution of the separation distribution function. Simple analytical expressions for the second moment growth rates incorporate the influence of the plume size through a low wave number filter depending on the plume second moment. Asymptotic expressions for the second moment growth rate were developed which apply at large displacement. These expressions indicate that the longitudinal second moment growth rate depends on the transverse second moments of the plume. Comparison of predicted second moment evolution with results from earlier numerical simulations indicate excellent agreement. Application to the Borden landfill site (Ontario, Canada) tracer test indicates a significant reduction in the longitudinal second moment from that predicted by existing three-dimensional theories and better agreement with the measured second moments.

AN - 75918336; 8360368 AB - Transcriptionally active nucleolar organizer regions identified by silver staining (AgNOR) vary in number with cellular activity and/or malignant transformation and have been used as a diagnostic tool. A morphometric study of AgNORs was performed in an experimental model of irradiated squamous epithelium (Wistar rat sole skin) 4, 8, and 14 hours and 1, 2, 5, and 7 days post-irradiation with 50 Gy of x-rays. A statistically significant and progressive rise in AgNOR average volume of up to 238% and reduction in AgNOR number/nucleus of up to 40% were detected as a function of post-irradiation time. A statistically significant 46% increase in AgNOR volume was detected as early as 8 h post-irradiation, when no histological changes were observable in routine preparations. These results suggest that AgNORs may be useful as a quantitative marker of incipient changes in cellular activity and caution against the indiscriminate use of AgNORs in the follow-up of lesions which may have been exposed to radiotherapy.

More than 270 m of 6.4-cm-diameter oriented core were collected from boreholes drilled to a maximum depth below the surface of 30 m and at a vertical angle of 45 degrees. Laboratory estimates of absolute permeabilities using air and water as the test fluids were acquired at a range of matric potentials for 105, 5-cm-long core segments. Field scale estimates of fractured rock permeabilities using air and water as test fluids were obtained at ambient matric suctions and water saturated conditions, respectively. Borehole and core permeabilities demonstrated substantial spatial variability, with variations exceeding three orders of magnitude. Laboratory core data showed a strong relationship between permeabilities using saturated water and oven-dry air injection tests. The influence of matric suction on permeabilities demonstrated that relative permeabilities do not sum to a constant for a wide range of matric suction. Only weak relationships existed between permeabilities measured in boreholes versus cores for both water and air. Permeabilities measured in boreholes using air provided good estimates of permeabilities measured using water into initially unsaturated, fractured rock at the Apache Leap Tuff Site.

AN - 36414162; 4057 AB - PURPOSE: Envirocare of Utah, Inc., proposes to construct and operate a facility to receive, store, and dispose of nuclear byproduct material (uranium and thorium mill tailings and related wastes) near Clive in Tooele County, Utah, approximately 65 miles west of Salt Lake City. Under the proposed action, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) would grant a license to Envirocare to construct the facility. The proposed site is adjacent to the Department of Energy's (DOE's) disposal cell containing uranium mill tailings from the former Vitro South Salt Lake facility, and within Envirocare's existing 540-acre radioactive waste facility licensed by the state of Utah. Envirocare estimates that the proposed commercial facility would dispose of three million cubic yards of 11e.(2) byproduct material transported to the site from various sources by rail and truck. The material would be disposed of in a cell excavated to a depth of approximately eight feet and lined with compacted clay. The waste would be placed in layers, compacted to a maximum height of 37 feet, and covered with a seven-foot-thick radon barrier and a two-foot-thick erosion protection barrier. The disposal embankment would be built in a continuous ""cut and cover'' operation. The waste received would be disposed of in cells located in a separate facility from that used to dispose of the other categories of radioactive waste regulated by the state of Utah. It is anticipated that the operation activities would last approximately 20 years. At the conclusion of operations, the site and facility would be decontaminated and decommissioned. At license termination, the title to the disposal site would be transferred to the DOE for long-term care to ensure the health and safety of the public. At that time, the DOE would become a licensee of the NRC for long-term monitoring and maintenance. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action is the preferred alternative (Alternative 1). Alternative 2 differs from the preferred alternative in that disposal would be below-ground. Under Alternative 3, the facility would be located at a site in Tooele County near Skunk Ridge, 18 miles northeast of the proposed site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Since the proposed site is already operating as a radioactive waste repository, transport facilities (including a rail spur), offices, laboratories, intruder barriers, and other structures appropriate to byproduct material disposal have already been built and are maintained by Envirocare. Use of the site for byproduct material disposal would not result in the introduction of radioactive material in an otherwise pristine site. Numerous sources of waste would be consolidated at one location, in an area remote from populated areas. Compared with the other action alternatives, the proposed action has the least potential for surface water or groundwater contamination, and is the lowest-cost alternative. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would have some impact on local air quality and visual resources. Operation of the facility would expose workers and the public to radioactive releases during the dumping of waste from trains and trucks; during the emplacement of materials; and as a result of wind erosion and the resuspension of contaminated materials within the disposal embankment. Increased truck and rail traffic to the site would result in a greater risk of a spill or serious transport accident anywhere along the transport routes.

Such variations produce spatial fluctuations in the subsurface fluid velocity which in turn cause the solute to disperse over distances considerably greater than those normally observed in laboratory column experiments. In fact, longitudinal dispersivities deduced from laboratory and field tracer studies in a variety of porous and fractured media appear to increase without limit with the scale of the study, suggesting that the permeabilities of such media exhibit (imperfect) fractal behavior. This and related observations have brought about an intensive search for transport theories that would apply to highly nonuniform geologic media with evolving scales of spatial heterogeneity. Most analyses of transport in random velocity fields are either Eulerian or Lagrangian. The Eulerian method seeks a solution to the stochastic solute conservation equation in Eulerian coordinates. In the Lagrangian method, rather than relying on a stochastic conservation equation for the solute as does the E ulerian method, focus is on the fate of solute particles traveling through a random velocity field which has known statistical properties. This paper develops a unified Eulerian-Lagrangian theory for the transport of a conservative solute in a random, divergent, space-time nonstationary velocity field v(x, t). Special attention is paid to the spatial scale on which v(x, t) is defined and to the conditioning of concentration on partial knowledge of this field. Data suggest that the rate at which apparent longitudinal dispersivity grows with mean travel distance is smaller when the interpretation is based on numerical models which account for medium heterogeneity via calibration than when it is based on models which consider the medium to be uniform.

More precisely, the predictions of local hydraulic head and Darcy flux by means of their unbiased ensemble moments conditioned on measurements of local hydraulic conductivity were considered. These predictors satisfy a deterministic flow equation relating a relatively smooth unbiased estimate of local hydraulic conductivity and a 'residual flux.' A compact integral expression for the residual flux was derived which is rigorously valid for a broad class of local hydraulic conductivity fields, including fractals, demonstrating that the unbiased Darcy flux moment is nonlocal and non-Darcian so that an effective hydraulic conductivity does not generally exist. Under uniform mean flow the effective conductivity may be a scalar, a symmetric or a nonsymmetric tensor, or a set of directional scalars which do not f orm a tensor. In two-dimensional mean radial flow it may increase from the harmonic mean of local hydraulic conductivity near interior and boundary sources to the geometric mean far from such sources. For cases where the residual flux can neither be expressed nor approximated by a local expression, a weak (integral) approximation (closure) appears to work well in media with pronounced heterogeneity and improves as the quantity and quality of local hydraulic conductivity measurements increase. The nonlocal deterministic flow equation can be solved numerically by standard methods; the theory shows clearly how the scale of grid discretization should relate to the scale, quantity, and quality of available data. The unbiased estimate of local hydraulic conductivity may be computed from noisy measurements of local hydraulic conductivity and the required second moments of the associated estimation errors may be calculated when the conductivity is normal.

AN - 745650604; 74766 AB - Sulfiding corrosion of copper alloys can occur from microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC) mechanisms involving sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) or from exposure to bulk waters containing reduced sulfur (S) species of microbiological, industrial, or geologic origin. The sulfide minerals produced generally are nonadherent. Under some circumstances, adherent sulfide layers can form and offer a degree of protection against further attack. Tests were conducted in sterile synthetic seawater with various levels of dissolved sulfide, and the structure of the corrosion products was examined. Results, combined with MIC observations from literature and geochemical studies of copper sulfide paragenesis, revealed the nature of the reactions that produce dense, relatively protective sulfides.

Development of a Field Test AN - 19151893; 9307400 AB - Before testing the performance characteristics of andisols for retention of anions in the near-field environment of low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities, it is necessary to locate one or more sufficiently extensive bodies of natural soil with the highest possible natural anion exchange capacity. For this purpose a rugged, portable semiquantitative field test for anion exchange capacity based on short-term sorption of iodide by soil samples was developed. The iodide sorption field test was validated against a well established quantitative laboratory test based on anion exchange of chloride and nitrate. An initial survey was then made of the volcanic terrain in northern California using the field test. In the northern California evaluation of the iodide sorption field test, it was found that: (1) All samples that sorbed iodide at levels >/= 0.34 meq I/100 g soil in the field test showed anion exchange capacity > 0.04 meq Cl/100 g soil; (2) The test showed no false negatives (cases where iodide sorption is zero and the sample shows anion exchange capacity); (3) The test showed no false positives (cases where the test predicts anion exchange capacity that is not there). The sample with the highest iodide sorption in the field test (0.91 meq I/100 g soil) also had the highest anion exchange capacity in laboratory validation by chloride-nitrate exchange (0.94 meq Cl/100 g soil at pH 5.8 with 0.001 N KCl equilibrating solution.

The algorithm is based on a modified Picard linearization of the governing equations of flow, coupled with a lumped finite element approximation in space and dynamic time step control. Numerical results indicate that the algorithm produces solutions that are essentially mass conservative and oscillation free, even in the presence of steep infiltrating fronts. When the algorithm is applied to the case of air and water flow in unsaturated soils, numerical results confirm the conditions under which Richards's equation is valid. Numerical results also demonstrate the potential importance of air phase advection when considering contaminant transport in unsaturated soils. Comparison to several other numerical algorithms shows that the modified Picard approach offers robust, mass conservative solutions to the general equations that describe two-phase flow in porous media.

AN - 73177647; 1527361 AB - Using a 14C-labelled pirimiphos-methyl preparation, the percentage of pirimiphos-methyl residues bound to maize grains after 32 weeks of storage was 13% of the applied dosage, or 38% of total terminal residues. Evidence is presented to show that bound residues of pirimiphos-methyl are bioavailable to the rat: 30%, 2% and approx. 6% of radioactivity were measured in urine expired air, and some organs respectively. A major portion of radioactivity (55%) was eliminated through faeces. Grain-bound pirimiphos-methyl residues (generated after storing whole maize grains with pirimiphos-methyl at concentrations of 10 ppm and 100 ppm) were administered to albino rats for 12 weeks. Body and organ weights, enzyme activities and blood chemistry were tested. There was a significant reduction in body weight gain in female rats. Also a significant reduction in blood cholinesterase activity was observed in both male and female rats fed on grain bound pirimiphos-methyl residues at two dose levels. The white blood cell count increased significantly in male rats fed on the high dose. No significant changes were observed in the other blood chemistry parameters tested.

AN - 72871857; 1559815 AB - The exposure rates due to external gamma radiation were measured in 11 Iraqi governerates. Measurements were performed with an Environmental Monitoring System (RSS-111) in open air 1 m above the ground. The average absorbed dose rate in each governerate was as follows (number x 10(-2) microGy h-1): Babylon (6.0), Kerbala (5.3), Al-Najaf (5.4), Al-Kadysia (6.5), Wasit (6.5), Diala (6.5), Al-Anbar (6.5), Al-Muthana (6.6), Maisan (6.8), Thee-Kar (6.6), and Al-Basrah (6.5). The collective doses to the population living in these governerates were 499, 187, 239, 269, 262, 458, 384, 153, 250, 450, and 419 person-Sv, respectively.

Whole rock potassium-argon geochronology on 43 basalts reveals a strong and general activity between Berriasian and Valanginian times and also a constant activity during the Tertiary but with a large gap between 16 and 8 Ma. The volume and timing of the volcanism is controlled by the left-lateral mouvement along the Rift.

Writing K(x) as the sum of a slowly varying unbiased estimate kappa(x) and a zero mean estimation error K'(x), it is possible to approximate conditional ensemble moments that become conditionally unbiased predictors of the hydraulic head h(x) and Darcy flux q(x), respectively; and sub kappa satisfies a standard continuity equation driven by ensemble mean source and boundary functions. An exact formal expression for (r(x))K can be used to demonstrate that kappa is nonlocal, with a well-defined kernel, and non-Darcian, except in special cases. In some cases the effective conductivity is kappa(x), in some it is a symmetric or a nonsymmetric second-rank tensor, and in others it exists only as a set of directional scalars but not as a tensor. A weak approximation for sub kappa can improve the quality of the estimate kappa(x). A high-resolution finite element Monte Carlo simulation was used to verify aspects of these approximations under uniform three-dimensional and radial two-dimensional flows in strongly heterogenous, statistically homogeneous and isotropic porous media.

The modeling objective is the prediction of the mean distribution of moisture content over time and space. The mean moisture content describes the large-scale flow behavior of most interest in many practical applications. The model validation process attempts to determine whether the model's predictions are acceptably close to the mean. This can be accomplished by comparing small-scale measurements of moisture content to the model's predictions. Differences between these two quantities can be attributed to three distinct 'error sources': (1) measurement error, (2) spatial heterogeneity, and (3) model error. If appropriate stochastic descriptions are adopted for the first two sources of error, then the model validation may be viewed as a hypothesis testing problem where the null hypothesis states that model error is negligible. This concept was illustrated by comparing the predictions of a simple two-dimensional deterministic model to measurements collected during a field experiment carried out near Las Cruces, New Mexico. Preliminary results from this field test indicate that a stochastic approach to validation can identify model deficiencies and provide objective standards for model performance.

Heterogeneity is synthesized by assuming saturated hydraulic conductivity to be a realization of a spatially uncorrelated, random function. The finite difference solution methodology leads to nonlinear equations which are linearized by an iterative Picard scheme. The resulting system of linear equations is solved iteratively using either the diagonally preconditioned conjugate gradient (DPCG) or the Jacobi method. Comparisons of the Connection Machine Variably Saturated Flow Simulator (CMVSFS) with scaler, engineering practice oriented, and highly vectorized/optimized numerical codes, are encouraging and point to the importance of continued research in hydrological applications of massively parallel computing.

The vadose zone has gradually become a repository for massive quantities of wastes, which in far too many instances have leached and subsequently recharged aquifers with contaminants. Dyes and other chemical tracers have been recently used to study contaminant (solute) movement in the vadose zone. These studies show that the vadose zone contains variable water contents, which by affecting the soil hydraulic properties can cause lateral spreading of contaminants under certain conditions; macropores which can conduct water and solutes more rapidly than the bulk soil; and soil layering and soil wettability, which can cause flow instabilities. Studies using dyes to trace the movement of irrigation water in natural and disturbed soil profiles, indicate that dye moved in multiple fingers downward ahead of the main pulse; the greatest fingering occurring in disturbed soil. The movement of the fingers could not be predicted a priori. Point samples can easily miss narrow pulses (fingers) of solute. The prediction of fingering associated with unstable wetting fronts is an ongoing task. Several research groups are testing theories of flow instability to evaluate observed fingering in soils. In some soils (for example, water repellant and very coarse soils) fingering is predictable while in others it is not. Variations in flow and transport created by macropores, water repellency, coarse layers, and other factors present an interesting challenge for vadose zone hydrologists.

AN - 16631209; 3012347 AB - Trimming the stipe of cultivated mushrooms, Agaricus bisporus , from 35 mm to 5 mm from the cap immediately after harvest resulted in improved shelf life as indicated by reduced browning and slower cap opening. This effect was evident after 3 days storage at 12 degree C, and became more pronounced after 6 days. Trimming the stipes had no significant effect on postharvest respiration rate or bacterial growth; thus, the shelf life improvement was due to other factors. Stipe trimming reduced the weight (yield) of saleable mushrooms by about 10%; thus, shelf life improvement would need to offset any economic loss to growers to make this practice commercially feasible.

AN - 16473588; 2927300 AB - Health physicists face an ever-expanding plethora of regulations. While these regulations are generally well intended, the regulators may not be fully aware of the impact on individual operations. Consequently, a very important part of a health physicists job should be to keep track of developments in the regulatory arena and act to minimize any adverse impact of new developments. The comments and questions heard recently suggest that the health physics community may not have done all that it might have in responding to the revision of Part 20. Responses to proposed regulatory action should be taken promptly because changes are difficult after requirements are established. Compliance with the new provisions of Part 20 becomes mandatory for NRC licensees on January 1, 1993. A formal request has been made to extend the deadline for compliance for one year. There has been extensive discussion, and a decision is likely to have been made by the time this is published.

Batch and column tracer techniques were used to establish parameters such as nuclide concentration, pH of the aqueous phase, heat treatment and particle size. Leaching experiments were carried out with seawater and groundwater samples on bentonite/cement mixtures. They demonstrated the effectiveness of calcination and cement containment. Syrian bentonite was useful for the removal of radioactive effluents and for long-term storage of radioactive ions.

A Review AN - 19140117; 9307401 AB - Anion exchange characteristics of soils are of interest in view of an increased concern about anion (such radionuclides as I(-), IO3(-), and TcO4(-)) in soil leading to contamination of groundwater. By simple electrostatic interaction, soils with high anion exchange capacity (AEC) greatly reduce the migration of anions through soil. The amorphous clays allophane and imogolite, derived from volcanic parent material, are found to be among the most important soil components capable of developing appreciable amounts of positive charge for anion exchange even at about neutral pH. The magnitude of the surface charge of these amphoteric materials depends on the ratio of SiO2/Al2O3, soil pH and concentration of electrolyte. Decreases in the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio and soil pH result in an increase in soil AEC. Allophane and imogolite rich soils have an AEC ranging from 1 to 18 meq/100g at pH about 6. The presence of other types of silicate minerals, organic and inorganic ligands tends to lower AEC of the soils. Highly weathered soils dominated by Fe and Al oxides and kaolinite may develop a significant amount of AEC as soil pH falls. On a wide range of those soils, AEC ranges from 0 to 2 meq/100g at about pH 6. The retention of radionuclides, iodine (I) and technetium (Tc), by soils is associated with both soil organic matter, and Fe and Al oxides, whereas sorption on layer silicate minerals is negligible. Anaerobic conditions greatly increase Tc retention by soils, which is related to the lower solubility of Tc (IV) and its complexation with organic matter fractions. Fe and Al oxides become more important in the retention of anionic iodide (I(-)), iodate (IO3(-)) and pertechnetate (TcO4(-)) as pH falls, since more positive charge is developed on the oxide surfaces. Soil allophane and imogolite develop more positive charge than Fe and Al oxides at given pH conditions, and are thus expected to retain more I and Tc although few studies have been conducted on the sorption of I and Tc by soil allophane and imogolite. It is calculated that a surface plough soil (2 million pounds soil per acre) with 5 meq/100g AEC, as is commonly found in andisols, shall retain approximately 5900 kg I and 4500 kg Tc, respectively, by the anion exchange mechanism.

AN - 36394029; 3229 AB - PURPOSE: The promulgation of rules for renewal of nuclear power plant operating licenses is proposed. The Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, limits the duration of operating licenses for nuclear power plants to a maximum of 40 years but makes provisions for license renewals. By the year 2020, more than 50 percent of the 118 nuclear power plants that are expected to have operating licenses will have reached the end of the original 40-year license period. Under the proposed license renewal rule, licensees would be allowed to operate nuclear power plants for a maximum of 20 years past the terms of their original 40-year licenses provided that certain requirements are met. The rule would require licensees submitting license renewal applications to perform specified types of evaluations and assessments of their facilities and to provide sufficient information for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to determine whether or not continued operation of the facilities during the renewal term would endanger public safety or the environment. Specifically, licensees would be required to assess the effect of age-related degradation on systems, structures, and components important to license renewal. The assessment results would be used to determine what activities and modifications would be necessary at the time of license renewal and throughout the renewal term to ensure continued safe operation of the plants. The licensee would be required to identify and incorporate into its licensing basis the activities necessary for managing plant aging, thereby ensuring that adequate margins of safety would be preserved throughout the renewal term. The management of aging activities would include replacement, refurbishment, surveillance, online monitoring, inspections, testing, trending, and record keeping for each selected component, as appropriate. Such activities would include monitoring the key parameters identified as a result of aging assessments and implementing corrective measures, as required, by comparing monitoring results against appropriate criteria. Most utilities are expected to begin preparation for license renewal approximately 10 to 20 years prior to the expiration of their original licenses. The inspection, surveillance, test, and maintenance programs for licensee renewal would be integrated gradually into plant operations over a period of years. It is assumed that plant modifications undertaken specifically for license renewal will probably be completed within normal plant outage cycles beginning eight years before the original license expires and during one nine-month refurbishment outage immediately before the original license expires. Normal plant refurbishment, maintenance, and repair would continue as in the past during renewal activities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: While allowing for the continued generation of power for industrial, commercial, and residential consumers, the license renewal rules would ensure safe operation of the affected nuclear facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Waste storage and management facilities would displace approximately nine acres per reactor temporarily. Plant operations would continue to deplete surface and groundwater flows for cooling, and entrainment and impingement of shellfish and fish and the discharge of large volumes of heated effluent into small or naturally warm waters would continue to be a source of concern at some plants. During the license renewal term, the radiation dose commitment to the total worker population at all nuclear power plants would be approximately 41,600 person-rems per year. Workers at plants could also be exposed to Legionnaires disease from cooling tower operations. Among the 140 million persons who live within 50 miles of a nuclear power plant, approximately 15 would die of cancer related to radiation exposure from nuclear power plant operations. Accidents could, of course, cause much larger releases of radiation, resulting in significantly greater numbers of radiation-related cancers. The continued existence of power lines would result in some bird mortality, generation of ozone, and hazards associated with high-power electric currents.

The White King Mine is located on National Forest and private lands. The Lucky Lass Mine is located entirely on National Forest lands. Both mines have a complex history of operators, mineral claims holders, and leasing, and, in the case of the White King Mine, property ownership. A total of 140 acres were disturbed by mining, including 120 acres at the White King Mine and 20 acres at the Lucky Lass Mine. Disturbances were caused by stockpiling of ore and overburden mixed with ore and acid drainage wastewater that has filled the mine pits. Focal issues identified during scoping include application of appropriate standards, prevention of water quality degradation, reduction of the risk of radiation hazards, long-term monitoring and maintenance of the site, mixed ownership at the White King Mine site, and other resources including land, socioeconomic uses, visual resources, and ecosystems. Under the preferred alternative, all contaminates and waste materials would be relocated to a new disposal site located 0.5 mile northwest of the White King Mine. The new site lies within the Fremont National Forest. Wastes would be placed in an engineered below-grade waste containment cell for permanent disposal. The cell would be designed to include a low-permeability bottom liner and surface radon barrier, a biointrusion and frost protection layer, and a rock-soil gravel mulch and vegetation or rock for erosion protection. Contaminated water in the White King mine pit and overburden stockpile would not be treated; the Lucky Lass mine pit would be treated and drained and backfilled with waste materials. The estimated cost of the project is $14.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Cleanup and rehabilitation of the two mine sites would remove or treat hazardous wastes that are known to or may endanger human health or the environment. Visual and grazing resources would benefit particularly from the proposed action. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Radiation and radioactive particulates attached to resuspended soil would be released to the off-site population during cleanup of the mine sites. Property ownership problems at the White King Mine would complicate cleanup somewhat. Land used for the waste containment cell would be removed from timber production; this would reduce the timber production area within the forest by 20 acres.

Tension means and variances derived from this theory were compared to tension distributions obtained from a previously developed, detailed three-dimensional model. The synthetically generated, unsaturated hydraulic conductivity functions used in the detailed model vary significantly over relatively small distances. Results from a simulated infiltration event indicate that the stochastic theory's predictions reproduce the overall trend of the heterogeneous tension distribution. Deviations from the predicted mean generally lie within confidence intervals derived from the predicted variance. The stochastic theory predicts less vertical moisture movements and somewhat more horizontal spreading than a comparable deterministic analysis. This reflects the fact that the effective hydraulic conductivity function used in the stochastic approach is anisotropic. The magnitude of this anisotropy increases with increasing tension.

One porous ceramic plate was placed immediately above a fracture and two other plates were placed on either side of the fracture above the rock matrix. The plates controlled the pressure head applied to the upper surface of the fractured rock block. Laboratory results were simulated using the boundary integral method for a single saturated fracture with an assumed uniform transmissivity embedded within a porous tuff block. The simulation identified the saturated hydraulic properties of the fracture. Matrix hydraulic conductivity was estimated as 50 times 10 to the minus 9th power m/sec and the fracture transmissivity as 5 times 10 to the minus 9th power sq m/sec. Much of the flow that exits the fracture at the lower surface first passes through the rock matrix even though a direct contact exists with the porous plate. Travel times and breakthrough curves were used to estimate fracture dispersivities, which ranged from 0.0207 to 8.01 m. Breakthrough curves deviated from simulation results due to significant channeling of fracture flow.

Fracture flow under conditions of partial fluid saturation was studied where a portion of the fracture is filled with water and the remaining portion is filled with air. A discrete air-water interface was employed to separate the saturated from the drained regions of the fracture. A laboratory flow experiment was conducted to demonstrate the interface concept. The steady- state air-water interface position was observed by maintaining a circular water source at constant positive pressure head between two vertical glass plates. An analytic solution to the flow problem was compared to the observed interface position and to simulated results that assume that a constant capillary pressure head can be assigned along the interface. Simulations performed for a hypothetical vertical fracture indicate zones of positive and negative pressure head in the saturated zone as well as an air-filled zone. For the hypothetical fracture examined, fluid travel times are not substantially changed as fracture saturation decreases. This result may not be general for all fractures.

Models developed for the transient routing of intense rainfall on these small armored slopes depend on expressions for flow resistance below and above the surface of the armored layer. A series of 52 experiments was conducted in two flumes to collect data on the basic relationships of flow resistance. Crushed rock of 26-155 mm median diameter was placed on embankments with slopes ranging from 0.01 to 0.2 and subjected to steady flow in the flumes. Flow through the rock layer was approximately proportional to the rock-layer porosity, the square root of the slope, and the mean diameter of the rock, and weakly proportional to the stage. The portion of flow through the filter layer generally cannot be neglected. Flow resistance decreased and conveyance greatly increased when the stage exceeded the depth of the rock layer. A model for flow both beneath and above the rock surface on an armored slope was synthesized from formulas developed for flow in rubble dams and Darcy-Weisbach formulas developed for flow in gravel bed streams and mountain rivers. The results of the model compare favorably to the experimental flow measurements.

A three- dimensional solute transport model has been developed to study detailed contaminant movements through large heterogeneous flow systems in porous media. The model is based upon a random walk particle method to treat multidimensional advection and dispersion processes in saturated or unsaturated media in a computationally efficient manner. The transport simulations are used to examine the large time and spatial effects of the variable flow field on developing solute plumes, and, in particular, to investigate the nature of the large-scale dispersive behavior. Numerical transport experiments were conducted using single realizations of random hydraulic conductivity fields with three different degrees of heterogeneity. Experiments with different source locations were used to investigate preasymptotic and nonergodic effects that would appear as differences in plume evolution among the experiments. Spatial moments of the particle distributions in statistically isotropic saturated media compare favorably with stochastic theory predictions in terms of longitudinal advection and mixing, but differ markedly from predictions of transverse mixing. The simulations also demonstrate that significant nonergodic effects occur, as reflected in strong differences in the second moment evolution curves among the individual experiments and as predicted from the ensemble stochastic theory.

The application of a shrinking-core model controlled by macroporous diffusion has been validated for the adsorption kinetics of radioactive Co from a 0. 01N CaCl2 solution to Bandelier Tuff. This tuff has served as a natural barrier in the disposal of low-level radioactive waste at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The model is validated for duplicate experiments and also in binary and ternary combinations with Sr and Cs. The sorbates were initially in solution at 20 mg/L and were contacted with the tuff in bottles agitated in the batch mode at 25C. Co adsorbs irreversibly to the particle and is not available for transfer to the nonreacted portion or inner core of the particle. Unlike traditional models of rate control such as chemical reaction, film and particle diffusion, the shrinking- core model predicts increased mass-transfer rates with an increase in the concentration of Co in the liquid phase. The results have direct implications in the understanding and modeling of the fate and transport of radioactive Co in volcanic tuffs. Volcanic tuff is also being considered as a medium for the location of a high level nuclear waste repository in the state of Nevada.

In virtually all studies of the unsaturated zone, the fluid motion is assumed to obey the classical Richards equation. Numerical approximations based on different forms of the governing partial differential equation can lead to significantly different results for unsaturated flow problems. Numerical solution based on the standard h- based form of Richards equation generally yield poor results, characterized by large mass balance errors and erroneous estimates of infiltration depth. Conversely, numerical solutions based on the mixed form of Richards equation can be shown to possess the conservative property, so that mass is perfectly conserved. This leads to significant improvement in numerical solution performance, while requiring no additional computational effort. However, use of the mass-conservative method does not guarantee good solutions. Accurate solution of the unsaturated flow equation also requires use of a diagonal time (or mass) matrix. Only when diagonal time matrices are used can the solution be shown to obey a maximum principle, which guarantees smooth, nonoscillatory infiltration profiles. This highlights the fact that proper treatment of the time derivative is critical in the numerical solution of unsaturated flow.

Application to Anisotropic Media and the Borden Site AN - 19075612; 9009164 AB - A theory was developed which accounts for nonlinearity caused by the deviation of plume particles from their mean trajectory in three-dimensional, statistically homogeneous but anisotropic porous media under a exponential covariance of log hydraulic conductivities. When this theory was applied to an anisotropic case, it showed that longitudinal and transverse dispersivities became asymptotically proportional to log hydraulic conductivity when the log hydraulic conductivity variance was much smaller than 1. It also implied that when the mean seepage velocity vector is at an angle to the principal axes of statistical anisotropy, the long axis of a plume is generally offset toward the direction of the largest log hydraulic conductivity correlation scale. When the mean seepage velocity vector was 45 degrees to the bedding in strongly stratified media, the longitudinal axis was nearly parallel to the bedding under non-Fickian conditions. As Fickian conditions were approached, the plume rotated toward the mean seepage velocity vector and stabilized asymptotically at a relatively small angle of deflection depending on the log hydraulic conductivity variance. Application of the quasi-linear theory to depth-averaged concentration data from a tracer experiment (bromide and chloride) at Borden, Ontario, gave a consistent and improved fit to a two-dimensional model without any need for parameter adjustment. In the Borden experiment the longitudinal spread is non-Fickian until about 2.8 years, when it attains an asymptotic value of 0.51. Transverse spread does not become strictly Fickian until 82 years.

According to the quasi-linear theory, the transverse dispersivities ascend to peak values and then diminish gradually toward nonzero Fickian asymptotes which are proportional to the square of the log hydraulic conductivity variance when the log hydraulic conductivity variance is much less than 1. The quasi-linear theory proved less prone to error than linear theories when extended to strongly heterogeneous media. It also predicted that when the log hydraulic conductivity was much greater than 1 in isotropic media both the longitudinal and transverse dispersivities ascend monotonically toward Fickian asymptotes proportional to the log hydraulic conductivity.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has conducted a field experiment at the Las Cruces trench site to study water and chemical movement through an initially dry, spatially variable soil. A transient flow experiment was simulated using the classical Richard's equation with different approaches for model calibration. The results of the investigation revealed that soil heterogeneity exerted a strong influence on transient water movement and induced three-dimensional flow even in a carefully controlled experiment. A key feature of the experiment was the apparent soil anisotropy exhibited by observed moisture movement. It was shown that local soil heterogeneity could produce the observed behavior. The study revealed that the use of literature-derived model calibration parameters was likely to result in inaccurate predictions. However, good predictions were obtained when averaged hydraulic parameters were employed, especially when saturated conductivity was allowed to be anisotropic. Predictive formulas for the effective hydraulic conductivity anisotropy could be obtained from existing stochastic flow theories. However, use of these equations still required statistical characterization of site spatial variability. For the Las Cruces trench site, the stochastic theory also significantly overpredicted the degree of anisotropy. This observation suggests that the range of validity of existing stochastic unsaturated flow theories needs further evaluation.

The thermodynamic properties of the aluminate ion Al(OH)4(-), are derived over the same temperature range and compared with predictions based on the revised Helgeson-Kirkham-Flowers equation of state. Preliminary thermodynamic properties of bayerite and Gibbs free energy of formation (enthalpy of formation, 298) for nordstrandite are also derived from solubility data in alkaline solutions. Log Ks4 values for gibbsite, bayerite, boehmite and diaspore between 0 and 350 C, and thermodynamic data for Al(OH)4(-) are tabulated for use in distribution-of-species computer codes.

Upon appropriate differentiation, these equations yield expressions for osmotic and activity coefficients, excess enthalpies, heat capacities, and volumes. Thus, a wide array of experimental data are available from which model parameters and their temperature or pressure dependence can be evaluated. The most commonly used model for systems of moderate concentration is the ion-interaction approach developed by Pitzer and coworkers. For more concentrated electrolyte solutions, including those extending to the fused salt, an alternate model based on a Margules expansion and commonly used for nonelectrolytes was proposed by Pitzer and Simonson. These two models were compared and examples of parameter evaluations are given for some geologically relevant systems to high temperatures and pressures. Applications of the models to calculations of solubility equilibria are also shown for the systems NaCl-Na2SO4-NaOH-H2O and NaCl-KCl-H2O to temperatures up to 350 C.
