Analysis of colloid transport

Description: The population balance methodology is described and applied to the transport and capture of polydispersed colloids in packed columns. The transient model includes particle growth, capture, convective transport, and dispersion. We also follow the dynamic accumulation of captured colloids on the solids. The multidimensional parabolic partial differential equation was solved by a recently enhanced method of characteristics technique. This computational technique minimized numerical dispersion and … more

Analysis of gaseous-phase stable and radioactive isotopes in the unsaturated zone, Yucca Mountain, Nevada

Description: The Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations Project of the US Department of Energy provides that agency with data for evaluating volcanic tuff beneath Yucca Mountain, Nevada, to determine its suitability for a potential repository of high-level radioactive waste. Thickness of the unsaturated zone, which consists of fractured, welded and nonwelded tuff, is about 1640 to 2460 feet (500 to 750 meters). One question to be resolved is an estimate of minimum ground-water traveltime from the distu… more

Borehole-calibration methods used in cased and uncased test holes to determine moisture profiles in the unsaturated zone, Yucca Mountain, Nevada

Description: The use of drilling and coring methods that minimize the disturbance of formation rock and core has permitted field calibration of neutron-moisture tools in relatively large diameter cased and uncased boreholes at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. For 5.5-inch diameter cased holes, there was reasonable agreement between a field calibration in alluvium-colluvium and a laboratory calibration in a chamber containing silica sand. There was little difference between moisture-content profiles obtained in a neu… more

Cancer radioimmunotherapy: Development of an effective approach. Progress report, 1985

Description: The objective of this program is the development of effective approaches for delivering radiation therapy to patients with cancer using radiopharmaceuticals produced from monoclonal antibodies. One major achievement of this program has been the development of a new, Cu-67 chelator (Teta). This chelator firmly holds copper even in the presence of competitive serum proteins. Copper has proven to be labile with other chelators. Also, a single photon emission tomographic camera was purchased with U… more

Chemical variability of zeolites at a potential nuclear waste repository, Yucca Mountain, Nevada

Description: The compositions of clinoptilolites and their host tuffs have been examined by electron microprobe and x-ray fluorescence, respectively, to determine their variability at a potential nuclear waste repository, Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Because of their sorptive properties, these zeolites could provide important geologic barriers to radionuclide migration. Variations in clinoptilolite composition can strongly affect the mineral`s thermal and ion-exchange properties, thus influencing its behavior in… more

Effects of geochemical processes on the transport of contaminants in multicomponent systems: a modeling perspective

Description: An equilibrium geochemical transport model for multicomponent systems, TRANQL, was used to investigate the effects of geochemical processes on the transport of contaminants. TRANQL was used to investigate the sensitivity of cadmium transport to a range of initial condition, pH, complexing ligand concentrations, and concentrations of a simultaneously sorbing solute. Aqueous-phase complexation, dissociation of water, and sorption were the processes considered. First, the transport of an initial p… more

Formation of plutonium(IV) colloid by the alpha-reduction of aqueous solutions of Pu(V) and Pu(VI)

Description: We describe concentration changes caused by chemical and alpha-induced radiolytic reactions in various oxidation state pure solutions of Pu(VI), Pu(V), or Pu(IV) colloid or mixtures of these oxidation states at pH values > 1 for a period of nearly two years. The rates of approach to steady-states and the resulting experimental concentration quotient values were determined in order to find the conditions under which equilibrium in 2PuO{sub 2}{sup +} + PuO{sub 2}{sup 2+} + PuO/sub 2(coll)/ reacti… more

Fractal geometry of two-dimensional fracture networks at Yucca Mountain, southwestern Nevada: proceedings

Description: Fracture traces exposed on three 214- to 260-m{sup 2} pavements in the same Miocene ash-flow tuff at Yucca Mountain, southwestern Nevada, have been mapped at a scale of 1:50. The maps are two-dimensional sections through the three-dimensional network of strata-bound fractures. All fractures with trace lengths greater than 0.20 m were mapped. The distribution of fracture-trace lengths is log-normal. The fractures do not exhibit well-defined sets based on orientation. Since fractal characterizati… more

Interaction of Polyethylene and Tritium Gas as Monitored by Raman Spectroscopy

Description: Irradiation of high-density polyethylene by ~1 atm overpressure of T2 gas at 23+- 2 degrees C has been shown to produce severe damage, about 200 MRad dose, within 6 months. Production rate of H2 gas from irradiation due to polymer incorporation of tritium increased quickly within the first 2 months, after which it slowed considerably. It is proposed that outgassing of H2 acted to inhibit diffusion of solubilized HT or T2 into the bulk, thereby limiting increases in polymer T incorporation and t… more

Micelle-derived catalysts for extended Schulz-Flory. Technical progress report, October 1, 1985--12/31/85

Description: Our objective is to develop a catalyst for making gasoline or diesel range fuel selectively from synthesis gas. Our catalyst development approach is to provide a cut-off for the higher end of the hydrocarbon distribution by limiting the size of the active metal particle. We are using a micelle technique for preparing specific size ruthenium particles supported on {gamma}-alumina. Hydrocarbon cut-off was not observed with 40--60 {Angstrom} ruthenium particles on {gamma}-alumina. We could not det… more
