Current Status and Reclamation Plan of Former Uranium Mining and Milling Facilities at Ningyo-Toge in Japan

Description: The Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute (JNC) conducted research and development projects on uranium exploration in Japan from 1956 to 1987. Several mine facilities, such as waste rock yards and a mill tailing pond, were retained around Ningyo-toge after the projects ended. Although there is no legal issue in the mine in accordance with related law and agreements at present, JNC has a notion that it is important to reduce the burden of waste management on future generations. Thus, the Nin… more

Hydrology and Model of the Okoy Geothermal Field, Negros Oriental, Republic of the Philippines

Description: Ward (1980) described the exploration of the Okoy geothermal field. Resistivity surveying using Schlumberger traverses has covered an area of approximately 800 km2 in the southern part of the Island of Negros. Hot springs and other thermal manifestations occur in the Okoy valley, Valencia and at Tabac Magaso, Dauin. Initial shallow exploratory drilling indicated a possible sub-surface flow of hot water in the Okoy valley. Further deep exploratory drilling to the West has located two high temper… more

1985 Oil Production of 21 Oil Producing Non-OPEC Countries

Description: This report assesses the possibility of increased oil production from 21 less developed non-OPEC countries (excluding the Middle East and Mexico) by 1985. The forecast is compared with those prepared by the World Bank, the International Energy Agency, and others. The 21 Latin American, African, and Far East (including Asia) countries produce 2.5 million barrels of oil per day (BD) or 4.2% of world production, and they have 21 billion barrels of proved reserves, or 3.2% of the world total. In re… more
