UNSAT-H infiltration model calibration at the Subsurface Disposal Area, Idaho National Engineering Laboratory

Description: Soil moisture monitoring data from the expanded neutron probe monitoring network located at the Subsurface Disposal Area (SDA) of the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) were used to calibrate numerical infiltration models for 15 locations within and near the SDA. These calibrated models were then used to simulate infiltration into the SDA surficial sediments and underlying basalts for the entire operational period of the SDA (1952--1995). The purpose of performing the simulations was … more

Characteristics of DOE spent nuclear fuel affecting pretreatment and final disposition

Description: The Department of Energy (DOE) has more than 150 different types of Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF), comprising more than 200,000 units, in storage at DOE, private non-DOE, university facilities across the United States and foreign countries. The present DOE SNF management plan does not include reprocessing the fuel for the recovery of uranium, but involves interim storage until DOE is prepared to disposition the fuel in a national repository. Prior to any long term actions the SNF will need to be cha… more

Glass waste forms for the Na-bearing high activity waste fractions

Description: Candidate experimental glasses for the Na-bearing high activity waste fractions were synthesized by crucible melting a mixture of reagent chemicals representative of the Na-bearing waste, the pilot plant alumina calcine, and frit additives at 1,200 or 1,600 C for 2--5 hours followed by air cooling of the melt. These glasses were characterized for density, elastic properties, viscosity, electrical resistivity, chemical durability, structural parameters, and glass phase separation. The results ar… more

Evaluation of radiological releases from the Tomsk-7 accident

Description: On April 6, 1993, there was an uncontrolled release of radioactive material from the fuel reprocessing plant at the Siberian Chemical Combine in Tomsk. The release resulted from the rupture of an over-pressurized feed adjustment tank and subsequent explosion that destroyed the walls and roof of the operating gallery. Radioactive material was released through a 150 meter stack, as well as through the destroyed walls and roof. Relatively stable atmospheric conditions prevailed and a light snow wa… more
