Health and safety evaluation of a modified tunnel-borer design for application to single-entry coal-mine development

Description: The health and safety analysis is part of an overall effort to identify and develop innovative underground coal extraction systems. The single-entry tunnel borer system was initially considered an innovative approach to underground mining because it exhibited a means of increasing the speed and efficiency of entry development by reducing the number of entries. However, to be considered a truly advanced system, the tunnel borer had to meet distinct safety criteria as well. The objective was to e… more

Relative Potential Hazards of Radioactive Waste in Various Water Systems

Description: The potential hazard to man arising from the hypothetical release of radioactive spent fuel waste into various water systems has been evaluated. Radionuclide transport and human exposure were simulated for six water systems: a large Northwestern river, a small Northeastern river, a small Northwestern river, a large Central Region river, a lake with no outflow in an arid region, and an aquifer discharging directly into an ocean.

Risk Reduction Through Use of External Technical Reviews, Technology Readiness Assessments and Technical Risk Ratings - 9174

Description: The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM) was established to achieve the safe and compliant disposition of legacy wastes and facilities from defense nuclear applications. A large majority of these wastes and facilities are 'one-of-a-kind' and unique to DOE. Many of the programs to treat these wastes have been 'first-of-a-kind' and unprecedented in scope and complexity. This has meant that many of the technologies needed to successfully disposition these wastes … more

Reactor hazards review zirconium retubing of Hanford reactors

Description: This report examines the pertinent features in the hazards analyses of the Hanford Reactors which may be affected by the substitution of zirconium tubes for the present aluminum process tubes. Resized I & E slugs, designed to preserve present pressure drops across the active zones and to minimize corrosion, are used as examples to compare the characteristics of the zirconium tubes reactor with the present.

Background information for the PAR Pond safety and health hazard analysis

Description: The baseline risk assessment [WSRC91] has demonstrated that the hazard at PAR Pond is solely from external exposure to Cs-137, a gamma emitting radionuclide. Between 1954 and 1964, approximately 222 curies of radioactive cesium (Cs-134 and Cs-137) were released to the Lower Three Runs Creek system from R Reactor [Ma9l]. These releases were associated with leaking fuel and target slugs in the reactor disassembly basin. Independent studies show that approximately 45 curies of Cs-137 (half-life of… more

Safety and environmental aspects of fusion reactors

Description: Fusion is examined against the yardstick of fission technology with respect to inventories of radioactivity (and associated Biological Hazard Potentials), routine emissions, accident pathways and consequences, radioactive-waste management, and misuse of nuclear materials. Based on conceptual designs of Tokamak fusion reactors with stainless steel structure and tritium inventories of 10 kg per thermal gigawatt, the apparent advantage of fusion is 1 to 2 orders of magnitude in most indices of rad… more

Relating spatial distributions of pollutants to health effects. Technical report No. 1. [Relation of air pollution to epidemics of respiratory diseases]

Description: A new and potentially useful statistical tool for epidemiology is introduced and some of its elementary properties are considered. The technique is a promising one for both data-analytic and inferential problems. Starting with the collection of isopleths of a spatially distributed explanatory variable (air pollution), the method produces a relationship between the explanatory variable(s) and the response variable (population-adjusted health effects) by accumulating the response within successiv… more

Environmental monitoring at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, 1975 annual report

Description: Data are summarized on the radioactivity and content of Be and heavy metals in environmental samples collected during 1975. No Laboratory effluent resulted in an estimated radiation dose to the nearest resident exceeding 1 mrem. Assessment of the radiation doses to an individual from the environmental activities listed in this report demonstrates that the dose contribution from Laboratory operations in 1975 was very small compared with the approximately 100-mrem/year dose locally received from … more
