In-well vapor stripping drilling and characterization work plan

Description: This work plan provides the information necessary for drilling, sampling, and hydrologic testing of wells to be completed in support of a demonstration of the in-well vapor stripping system. The in-well vapor stripping system is a remediation technology designed to preferentially extract volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from contaminated groundwater by converting them to a vapor phase. Air-lift pumping is used to lift and aerate groundwater within the well. The volatiles escaping the aerated w… more

Dissolved Oralloy standards and the origin of HEU

Description: This report describes an analytical procedure for use in determining the heavy element content of a sample of HEU. Results of the analysis of a specific sample are discussed and some forensic signatures are identified. Two calibrated liquid samples were created, containing known amounts of HEU and contaminants. These samples were counted for gamma rays in the same way that an HEU sample would be treated, and results of the gamma counting are compared with the analytical results.

Effect of pretreating of host oil on coprocessing. Quarterly progress report, October 1, 1993--December 31, 1993

Description: In the last quarterly report we presented results of coprocessing runs made with an Illinois No. 6 coal and an AMOCO VTR (as received) and after the heavy oil had been pretreated a number of different ways. Coal conversions and product yields were presented for each coprocessing experiment. We have now further analyzed results from coprocessing experiments in order to estimate the yields of coal-derived gas, asphaltenes and oil products. Although coal-derived products can not be measured direct… more

Final report for the geothermal well site restoration and plug and abandonment of wells: DOE Pleasant Bayou test site, Brazoria County, Texas

Description: For a variety of reasons, thousands of oil and gas wells have been abandoned in the Gulf Coast Region of the United States. Many of these wells penetrated geopressured zones whose resource potential for power generation was undervalued or ignored. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Geopressured-Geothermal Research Program was chartered to improve geothermal technology to the point where electricity could be commercially produced from a substantial number of geopressured resource sites. This re… more

Packaging design criteria modified fuel spacer burial box. Revision 1

Description: Various Hanford facilities must transfer large radioactively contaminated items to burial/storage. Presently, there are eighteen Fuel Spacer Burial Boxes (FSBBs) available on the Hanford Site for transport of such items. Previously, the FSBBS were transported from a rail car to the burial trench via a drag-off operation. To allow for the lifting of the boxes into the burial trench, it will be necessary to improve the packagings lifting attachments and provide structural reinforcement. Additiona… more
