Temperature Effects on Waste Glass Performance

Description: The temperature dependence of glass durability, particularly that of nuclear waste glasses, is assessed by reviewing past studies. The reaction mechanism for glass dissolution in water is complex and involves multiple simultaneous reaction proceeded, including molecular water diffusion, ion exchange, surface reaction, and precipitation. These processes can change in relative importance or dominance with time or changes in temperature. The temperature dependence of each reaction process has been… more

Three-Dimensional Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Green-State Ceramics

Description: Objective is the development of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging techniques and technology applicable to the nondestructive characterization of green-state ceramics. To this end, a three-dimensional (3-D) NMR imaging technique has been developed, based on a back-projection acquisition protocol in combination with image reconstruction techniques that are based on 3-D Radon transform inversion. The method incorporates the experimental flexibility to overcome many of the difficulties associated … more

Unsaturated Glass Testing for DOE Program in Environmental Restoration and Waste Management: Annual Report, October 1989 - September 1990

Description: A program has been established for DOE Environmental Restoration and Waste Management (EM) to evaluate factors that are likely to affect waste glass reaction in an unsaturated environment typical of what may be expected for the candidate Yucca Mountain repository site. This report covers progress in FY 1990 on the following five tasks.

Weight Losses of Marble and Limestone Briquettes Exposed to Outdoor Environments in the Eastern United States : Results of Exposures, 1984-1988

Description: Gravimetric changes in marble and limestone briquettes exposed to outdoor environment at five sites in the eastern United States have been monitored since 1984. An earlier report describes procedures and results obtained in 1984--1988. This report presents the results of the exposure period 1984--1988 and reviews and summarizes those of prior years. A linear relationship was found between cumulative gravimetric losses and exposure period or rain depth. These losses resulted in an average recess… more

Whistle, a Nearly Dormant Geyser in Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming: The First Geyser to be Studied by Research Drilling

Description: The following report follows the first research drilling study on a geyser. Whistle, a nearly dormant geyser in the upper geyser basin in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, has been proven to depend its water supply on deep overpressured water that's a far more extensive system than surface measurements can determine.
