Description: Progress is reported in the detailed study of the Winnsboro complex, South Carolina, as part of a broader project to provide insight into the behavior of uranium and thorium in syn- and post-metamorphic granitic plutons. In the area of the Winnsboro complex, a regional medium-pressure metamorphic event which reached amphibolite facies was followed by deformation and uplift with decrease in regional temperature and pressure. The Winnsboro complex was intruded with a resultant low-pressure contac… more

Application of foams to the processing of fabrics. Phase-III. Technical progress report, September 1, 1979-February 29, 1980

Description: Reducing the water required to wet process fabric reduces energy consumption since less energy is required to evaporate the water. This is accomplished by replacing much of the water with air, making foam and using it as an application medium. By the end of February 1980 approximately 300,000,000 yards of fabric had been foam finished. A number of finish formulations were optimized and second-generation foam formulations have been introduced since September 1979. Plant energy data from three UM… more

Comparison of laboratory, in situ, and rock mass measurements of the hydraulic conductivity of metamorphic rock at the Savannah River Plant near Aiken, South Carolina

Description: In situ testing of exploratory wells in metamorphic rock indicates that two types of fracturing occur in the rock mass. Rock containing small openings that permit only extremely slow movement of water is termed virtually impermeable rock. Rock containing openings of sufficient size to permit transmission of water at a significantly faster rate is termed hydraulically transmissive rock. Laboratory methods are unsuitable for measuring hydraulic conductivity in hydraulically transmissive rock; how… more
