Preliminary assessment of tree mortality near F- and H-area seepage basins

Description: A preliminary assessment was conducted to evaluate factors that may have been responsible for the vegetation damage that has occurred in groundwater seeps downslope from the F- and H-area seepage basins. The factors that were considered included altered hydrology, toxicity from hazardous chemical constituents associated with seepage basin operation, and toxicity from non-hazardous constituents associated with basin operation. It was concluded that the observed damage was not likely to have resu… more

A subregion block iteration to 3-D finite element modeling of subsurface flow

Description: A subregion block iteration (SBI) technique has been developed in conjunction with finite element approximations of saturated-unsaturated flow equations. The proposed SBI technique is implemented in a three-dimensional finite element saturated-unsaturated flow model. The model is verified with a nonlinear diffusion equation having an analytical solution. It is then applied to a burial trench problem. It is not possible to solve this field problem using the direct elimination finite element meth… more

Arctic hydrology and meteorology

Description: The behavior of arctic ecosystems is directly related to the ongoing physical processes of heat and mass transfer. Furthermore, this system undergoes very large fluctuations in the surface energy balance. The buffering effect of both snow and the surface organic soils can be seen by looking at the surface and 40 cm soil temperatures. The active layer, that surface zone above the permafrost table, is either continually freezing or thawing. A large percentage of energy into and out of a watershed… more

Some effects of non-condensible gas in geothermal reservoirs with steam-water counterflow

Description: A mathematical model is developed for fluid and heat flow in two-phase geothermal reservoirs containing non-condensible gas (CO{sub 2}). Vertical profiles of temperature, pressures and phase saturations in steady-state conditions are obtained by numerically integrating the coupled ordinary differential equations describing conservation of water, CO{sub 2}, and energy. Solutions including binary diffusion effects in the gas phase are generated for cases with net mass throughflow as well as for b… more

Decommissioning of the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment: A technical evaluation

Description: This report completes a technical evaluation of decommissioning planning for the former Molten Salt Reactor Experiment, which was shut down in December, 1969. The key issues revolve around the treatment and disposal of some five tons of solid fuel salt which contains over 30 kg of fissionable uranium-233 plus fission products and higher actinides. The chemistry of this material is complicated by the formation of elemental fluorine via a radiolysis reaction under certain conditions. Supporting s… more

Dating shallow groundwater using sup 3 H- sup 3 He and sup 85 Kr

Description: Determining the age of groundwater from monitoring wells can greatly aid in understanding a hydrologic system. Groundwater dating techniques have been used to estimate residence times ranging from about 1000 to 50,000 years. While such measurements have been very useful in hydrothermal and geochemical studies and in the development of groundwater supplies, they have been of limited use in contaminant studies associated with shallow groundwater systems since residence times are often much less t… more

Hanford Site ground-water monitoring for April through June 1987

Description: Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) is conducting ground-water monitoring at the Hanford Site. Results for monitoring by PNL and Westinghouse Hanford Company (WHC) during April-June 1987 show that certain regulated hazardous materials and radionuclides exist in Hanford Site ground waters. The presence of regulated constituents in the ground water derives both from site operations and from natural sources. The major contamination problems defined by recent monitoring activities are carbon tetrach… more

Simulations of the near-field transport of radionuclides by liquid diffusion at Yucca Mountain: Comparisons with and without emplacement backfill. [Yucca Mountain Project]

Description: The possible set of hydrologic conditions at the Yucca Mountain repository site includes the case where groundwater recharge fluxes are sufficiently low relative to molecular diffusion in the rock so that, in the region around the waste package, the dominant mode of aqueous transport of radionuclides is by diffusion. Although the rock at the repository level is unsaturated, a sufficient amount of pore water could form a contiguous diffusion path from the waste form to the near-field rock if the… more

FMG, RENUM, LINEL, ELLFMG, ELLP, and DIMES: Chain of programs for calculating and analyzing fluid flow through two-dimensional fracture networks -- theory and design

Description: This report describes some of the programs developed at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory for network modelling. By themselves, these programs form a complete chain for the study of the equivalent permeability of two-dimensional fracture networks. FMG generates the fractures considered as line discontinuities, with any desired distribution of aperture, length, and orientation. The locations of these fractures on a plane can be either specified or generated randomly. The intersections of these fractu… more
