No-migration variance petition: Draft. Volume 4, Appendices DIF, GAS, GCR (Volume 1)

Description: The Department of Energy is responsible for the disposition of transuranic (TRU) waste generated by national defense-related activities. Approximately 2.6 million cubic feet of the se waste have been generated and are stored at various facilities across the country. The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), was sited and constructed to meet stringent disposal requirements. In order to permanently dispose of TRU waste, the DOE has elected to petition the US EPA for a variance from the Land Disposa… more

Long-term safety issues associated with mixer pump operation

Description: In this report, we examine several long-term issues: the effect of pump operation on future gas release events (GREs), uncontrolled chemical reactions, chronic toxic gas releases, foaming, and erosion and corrosion. Heat load in excess of the design limit, uncontrolled chemical reactions, chronic toxic gas releases, foaming, and erosion and corrosion have been shown not to be safety concerns. The effect of pump operation on future GREs could not be quantified. The problem with evaluating the lo… more

Brayton-cycle heat recovery-system characterization program. Subatmospheric-system test report

Description: The turbine tests and results for the Brayton cycle subatmospheric system (SAS) are summarized. A scaled model turbine was operated in the same environment as that which a full-scale SAS machine would experience from the hot effluent flue gas from a glass container furnace. The objective of the testing was to evaluate the effects of a simulated furnace flue gas stream on the turbine nozzles and blades. The following specific areas were evaluated: erosion of the turbine nozzles and blades from t… more

Study of selected off-gases produced during the immobilization of nuclear wastes in the SYNROC process. Final report for the year ended December 31, 1982

Description: The vaporization of cesium from the SYNROC mineral barium-cesium hollandite was studied over the temperature range 900/sup 0/C to 1150/sup 0/C using the transpiration method. With a dry argon-5% hydrogen carrier gas, the pressure of cesium over barium-cesium hollandite solid solution follows the relationship, log P/sub Cs/(atm) = 2.743 - 1.135 X 10/sup 4//T(K). The heat of vaporization is 217 +- 15 kJ/mole. The presence of water vapor increased the volatility of cesium.

Benefits and impacts of multi-level emission standards on the fuel economy characteristics of small and large cars

Description: A brief review of the small car vs large car fuel economy and emission scenario was conducted to determine whether it is meaningful to implement multi-level emission regulations (different values for small and large cars) to encourage or forces the use of catalytic converters on smaller cars, and by so doing improve the overall fuel economy of the total fleet while at the same time reduce overall emissions. The results of this review showed that: the 1975 to 1976 federal HC standard (1.5 gr/mi)… more

Landfill CH{sub 4}: Rates, fates, and role in global carbon cycle

Description: Published estimates for worldwide landfill methane emissions range from 9 to 70 Tg yr{sup {minus}1}. Field and laboratory studies suggest that maximum methane yields from lanfilled refuse are about 0.06 to 0.09 m{sup 3} (dry Kg){sup {minus}1} refuse, depending on moisture content and other variables, such as organic loading, buffering capacity, and nutrients in landfill microevnironments. Methane yields may vary by more than an order of magnitude within a given site. Fates for landfill methane … more

A comparison of the WIND System atmospheric models and RASCAL

Description: A detailed comparison of the characteristics of the WIND System atmospheric models and the NRC`s RASCAL code was made. The modeling systems differ substantially in the way input is entered and the way output is displayed. Nevertheless, using the same source term and meteorological input parameters, the WIND System atmospheric models and RASCAL produce similar results in most situations. The WIND System atmospheric model predictions and those made by RASCAL are within a factor of two at least 70… more

The solvent absorption-extractive distillation (SAED) process for ethanol recovery from gas/vapor streams

Description: A low energy system for ethanol recovery and dehydration has been developed. This system utilizes a solvent for (1) absorption of ethanol vapors, and then the same solvent for (2) extractive distillation. The ideal solvent for this process would have a high affinity for ethanol, and no affinity for water. Heavy alcohols such as dodecanol, and tridecanol, some phosphorals, and some fatty acids have been determined to meet the desired specifications. These solvents have the effect of making water… more
