Pilot study risk assessment for selected problems at the Nevada Test Site (NTS)

Description: The Nevada Test Site (NTS) is located in southwestern Nevada, about 105 km (65 mi) northwest of the city of Las Vegas. A series of tests was conducted in the late 1950s and early 1960s at or near the NTS to study issues involving plutonium-bearing devices. These tests resulted in the dispersal of about 5 TBq of [sup 239,24O]Pu on the surficial soils at the test locations. Additionally, underground tests of nuclear weapons devices have been conducted at the NTS since late 1962; ground water bene… more

Migrating criticality safety calculations from mainframe computing at Savannah River

Description: The Savannah River calculational environment is beginning migration away from IBM 3090/3081 and CRAY mainframe computing. Preliminary code migrations to workstations and personal computers have been made but such use has been limited to unofficial scoping'' calculations. Lessons learned suggest migration, while a boon to the end-user, presents a variety of quality assurance issues. These are more pronounced than in mainframe environments and suggest a need to rethink the code custodian's role.

Wood Storks of the Birdsville Colony and swamps of the Savannah River Site: General overview of research findings, 1983--1990

Description: The population of Wood Storks (Mycteria americana) that breeds in the United States has decreased from an estimated 20,000 breeding pairs in 1930 to just under 5,000 pairs in 1980. Since 1980, the number has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 3,500 and 5,500 breeding pairs. The decline prompted the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to list the United States population of Wood Storks as endangered in 1984. When the US Department of Energy (USDOE) decided to restart L-Reactor on t… more

Some results from the third performance assessment of the Greater Confinement Disposal (GCD) site at the Nevada Test Site

Description: The US Department of Energy (DOE) has disposed of a small amount of transuranic waste within the Radioactive Waste Management Site (RWMS) on the Nevada Test Site (NTS). Disposal of transuranic waste is governed by federal regulations 40 CFR 191; consequently, a performance assessment of the site is warranted to determine whether the site will comply with the requirements under 40 CFR 191. DOE has contracted with Sandia National Laboratories to perform this assessment. This report discusses some… more

Surface fluxes important to cloud development

Description: To address some of the issues in scaling and averaging of measurements, collaborative field campaigns were conducted in June 1991 and 1992 by the DOE laboratories funded under the ARM program. We selected a site in Boardman, OR, with two distinct regions where the sensible and latent heat fluxes would differ sharply and where each region was sufficiently extensive for full development of boundary layers and for utilizing aircraft-mounted instrument systems (Barnes et al. 1992, Doran et al. 1992… more

A comparison group analysis of DOE's Energy-Related Inventions Program

Description: Over the past decade, Oak Ridge National Laboratory has conducted four evaluations of the economic impacts of the US DOE's Energy-Related Inventions Program (ERIP). None of these evaluations has involved the use of a comparison group. Instead, statistics on the innovation process have been compiled from a review of the literature. Unfortunately, the types of technologies and inventors documents by previous studies do not match those supported by the Energy-Related Inventions Program. ERIP-suppo… more

Effects of temperature and radiation on the nuclear waste glass product consistency leach test

Description: Previous leach studies carried out with monolithic glass samples have shown that glass dissolution rates increase with increasing temperature and may or may not increase on exposure to external gamma radiolysis. In this study we have investigated the effects of temperature (70--1200[degrees]C) and radiation on the dissolution of simulated radioactive waste glasses using the Product Consistency Test (PCT). The PCT is a seven day, crushed glass leach test in deionized water that is carried out at… more

Separation techniques for the clean-up of radioactive mixed waste for ICP-AES/ICP-MS analysis

Description: Two separation techniques were investigated for the clean-up of typical radioactive mixed waste samples requiring elemental analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) or Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). These measurements frequently involve regulatory or compliance criteria which include the determination of elements on the EPA Target Analyte List (TAL). These samples usually consist of both an aqueous phase and a solid phase which is mos… more
