Workshop on radiological aspects of SSC operations

Description: Integral to the design of an accelerator facility is the provision of adequate shielding to contain any radiation arising from operation of the facility. Complementary to the questions of environmental shielding are a number of radiation questions related to operation of the completed facility. One obvious need is the specification of systems for monitoring environmental emissions to ensure consistency between the design criteria and the actual levels during operation. Another question is the e… more

European organization for nuclear research

Description: The CERN Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR) operated from 1971 to 1984. During that time high-energy physics experiments were carried out with 30 GeV colliding proton beams. At the end of this period the machine was decommissioned and dismantled. This involved the movement of about 1000 machine elements, e.g., magnets, vacuum pumps, rf cavities, etc., 2500 racks, 7000 shielding blocks, 3500 km of cables and 7 km of beam piping. All these items were considered to be radioactive until the contrary … more

Isostatic uplift, crustal attenuation, and the evolution of an extensional detachment system in southwestern Nevada

Description: Geological and geophysical evidence supports the existence of extensional detachments, between the Sheep Range and Death Valley. It is proposed that geographically separated pieces of detachments between Death Valley and the Sheep Range are parts of a regional detachment system that has evolved since the Miocene, and that the system consists of lenses of strata separated by an anastomosing network of low- and high-angle normal faults. This manuscript emphasizes the probability that isostatic up… more

New perspectives on quaternary faulting in the southern Walker Lane, Nevada and California

Description: A preliminary survey of aerial photographs of the southern Walker Lane began in late 1986. The purpose of this survey is to determine the nature and scope of future studies required to ascertain whether the apparent concentration of Quaternary faults in and near the Nevada Test Site is real or is simply a result of the greater effort invested in mapping Quaternary deposits in that area, and determine whether faults in the southern Walker Lane are active and could produce significant earthquakes… more

Impact of phase stability on the corrosion behavior of the austenitic candidate materials for NNWSI [Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations]

Description: The Nuclear Waste Management Program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is responsible for the development of the waste package design to meet the Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensing requirements for the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations (NNWSI) Project. The metallic container component of the waste package is required to assist in providing substantially complete containment of the waste for a period of up to 1000 years. Long term phase stability of the austenitic candidat… more
