Recent drilling activities at the earth power resources Tuscarora geothermal power project's hot sulphur springs lease area.

Description: Earth Power Resources, Inc. recently completed a combined rotary/core hole to a depth of 3,813 feet at it's Hot Sulphur Springs Tuscarora Geothermal Power Project Lease Area located 70-miles north of Elko, Nevada. Previous geothermal exploration data were combined with geologic mapping and newly acquired seismic-reflection data to identify a northerly tending horst-graben structure approximately 2,000 feet wide by at least 6,000 feet long with up to 1,700 feet of vertical offset. The well (HSS-… more

Np and Pu Sorption to Manganese Oxide Minerals

Description: Manganese oxide minerals are a significant component of the fracture lining mineralogy at Yucca Mountain (Carlos et al., 1993) and within the tuff-confining unit at Yucca Flat (Prothro, 1998), Pahute Mesa (Drellack et al., 1997), and other locations at the Nevada Test Site (NTS). Radionuclide sorption to manganese oxide minerals was not included in recent Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) hydrologic source term (HST) models which attempt to predict the migration behavior of radionuc… more

Caustic Waste-Soil Weathering Reactions and Their Impacts on Trace Contaminant Migration & Separation - Final Report

Description: Studies of the reactivity of radionuclides (Cs, Sr, I) in STWL with model clays and natural sediments were conducted by coupling macroscopic sorption-desorption experiments with spectroscopic and microscopic investigations over a wide range of reaction times. Three experimental systems were studied: (1) model clay minerals, (2) products of homogeneous precipitation from STWL, and (3) representative Hanford sediments, with (1) and (3) reacted with STWL from 1 h to 369 d. The clay minerals includ… more
