Global Ocean Storage of Anthropogenic Carbon (GOSAC) (open access)

Global Ocean Storage of Anthropogenic Carbon (GOSAC)

GOSAC was an EC-funded project (1998-2001) focused on improving the predictive capacity and accelerating development of global-scale, three-dimensional, ocean carbon-cycle models by means of standardized model evaluation and model intercomparison. Through the EC Environment and Climate Programme, GOSAC supported the participation of seven European modeling groups in the second phase of the larger international effort OCMIP (the Ocean Carbon-Cycle Model Intercomparison Project). OCMIP included model comparison and validation for both CO{sub 2} and other ocean circulation and biogeochemical tracers. Beyond the international OCMIP effort, GOSAC also supported the same EC ocean carbon cycle modeling groups to make simulations to evaluate the efficiency of purposeful sequestration of CO{sub 2} in the ocean. Such sequestration, below the thermocline has been proposed as a strategy to help mitigate the increase of CO{sub 2} in the atmosphere. Some technical and scientific highlights of GOSAC are given.

Introductory remarks: Reflections on the reasons for building accelerators (open access)

Introductory remarks: Reflections on the reasons for building accelerators

This is a good occasion, just when Fermilab is considering whether or not to build a new machine, and just when KEK/JAERI has initiated a new machine, to look back in history and review the reasons given--even believed by the proponents--for constructing a new accelerator, and then look at what really happened. Now there is a fair amount of history, more than 80 years of it, as accelerators go back to the 20's. Perhaps it is useful to categorize accelerators into groups. The first might be Energy Frontier Machines. Now that, at first sight, might not be relevant, but it is. For a driver can be used to make neutrino beams of high energy and, of course, become the driver for a neutrino factory, and some day, perhaps, for a muon collider. Plenty of frontier things. The second category might be Special Purpose Machines, such as high intensity machines. Many of these are not in high energy physics, such as spallation sources, cyclotrons for nuclear physics, and medical accelerators. The relevance to this Workshop is obvious. A third category might be Machines for Advancing the Accelerator Art, where, once again, the relevance is obvious. There are machines built for political …

A Measurement Technique to Determine the Sensitivity of Trained Dogs to Explosive Vapor Concentration (open access)

A Measurement Technique to Determine the Sensitivity of Trained Dogs to Explosive Vapor Concentration

Over the years canines have been used successfully to detect explosives. However, exactly what a canine detects in the many thousands of explosive formulations available is still not well understood. LLNL and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) studies over the past four years are beginning to provide better insight into this complex problem. One area that has been addressed is how low a molecular concentration of nitromethane explosive can a canine detect. Forty-one canine/handler teams were used in four test series with arrays containing dilute nitromethane-in-water solutions. (The canines had been trained on the amount of nitromethane vapor in equilibrium with the undiluted liquid explosive.) By diluting liquid nitromethane with water, the amount of explosive vapor can be reduced many orders of magnitude to test the lower limit of the canine's nitromethane vapor detection response. The results are summarized in the table in Appendix A. The probability of detecting nitromethane remained high until the vapor pressure fell below {approx} 1 x 10{sup 6} microns (one nitromethane molecule in a trillion nitrogen, oxygen and water molecules). This report describes a new approach to measuring this lower limit of detection using the diffusion of nitromethane in various length tubes containing …

Multiple parton scattering in nuclei: Twist-four nuclear matrix elements and off-forward parton distributions (open access)

Multiple parton scattering in nuclei: Twist-four nuclear matrix elements and off-forward parton distributions

Multiple parton scatterings inside a large nucleus generally involve higher-twist nuclear parton matrix elements. The gluon bremsstrahlung induced by multiple scattering depends not only on direct parton matrix elements but also on momentum-crossed ones, due to the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Midgal interference effect. They show that both types of twist-four nuclear parton matrix elements can be factorized approximately into the product of twist-two nucleon matrix elements in the limit of extremely large nuclei, A {yields} {infinity}, as assumed in previous studies. Due to the correlative nature of the twist-four matrix elements under consideration, It is actually the off-forward parton distributions that appear naturally in this decomposition, rather than the ordinary diagonal distributions probed in deeply-inelastic scattering. However, they argue that the difference between these two distribution classes is small in certain kinematic regimes. In these regions, the twist-four nuclear parton matrix elements are evaluated numerically and compared to the factorized form for different nuclear sizes within a schematic model of the two-nucleon correlation function. The nuclear size dependence is found to be A{sup 4/3} in the limit of large A, as expected. They find that the factorization is reasonably good when the momentum fraction carried by the gluon field is moderate. The deviation …

The Navruz Project: Transboundary Monitoring for Radionuclides and Metals in Central Asia Rivers (open access)

The Navruz Project: Transboundary Monitoring for Radionuclides and Metals in Central Asia Rivers

The transboundary nature of water resources demands a transboundary approach to their monitoring and management. However, transboundary water projects raise a challenging set of problems related to communication issues, and standardization of sampling, analysis and data management methods. This manual addresses those challenges and provides the information and guidance needed to perform the Navruz Project, a cooperative, transboundary, river monitoring project involving rivers and institutions in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan facilitated by Sandia National Laboratories in the U.S. The Navruz Project focuses on waterborne radionuclides and metals because of their importance to public health and nuclear materials proliferation concerns in the region. This manual provides guidelines for participants on sample and data collection, field equipment operations and procedures, sample handling, laboratory analysis, and data management. Also included are descriptions of rivers, sampling sites and parameters on which data are collected. Data obtained in this project are shared among all participating countries and the public through an internet web site and are available for use in further studies and in regional transboundary water resource management efforts. Overall, the project addresses three main goals: to help increase capabilities in Central Asian nations for sustainable water resources management; to provide a scientific …

Phase Chemistry of Tank Sludge Residual Components (open access)

Phase Chemistry of Tank Sludge Residual Components

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has millions of gallons of high level nuclear waste stored in underground tanks at Hanford, Washington and Savannah River, South Carolina. These tanks will eventually be emptied and decommissioned. This will leave a residue of sludge adhering to the interior tank surfaces that may contaminate nearby groundwaters with radionuclides and RCRA metals. Performance assessment (PA) calculations must be carried out prior to closing the tanks. This requires developing radionuclide release models from the sludges so that the PA calculations can be based on credible source terms. These efforts continued to be hindered by uncertainties regarding the actual nature of the tank contents and the distribution of radionuclides among the various phases. In particular, it is of vital importance to know what radionuclides are associated with solid sludge components. Experimentation on actual tank sludges can be difficult, dangerous and prohibitively expensive. The research funded under this grant for the past three years was intended to provide a cost-effective method for developing the needed radionuclide release models using non-radioactive artificial sludges. Insights gained from this work will also have more immediate applications in understanding the processes responsible for heel development in the tanks and in developing …

Site Release Reports for C-Well Pipeline, UE-25 Large Rocks Test Site, and 29 GSF Test Pits (open access)

Site Release Reports for C-Well Pipeline, UE-25 Large Rocks Test Site, and 29 GSF Test Pits

The U.S. Department of Energy has implemented a program to reclaim lands disturbed by site characterization at Yucca Mountain. Long term goals of the program are to re-establish processes on disturbed sites that will lead to self-sustaining plant communities. The Biological Opinion for Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Studies required that the U.S. Department of Energy develop a Reclamation Standards and Monitoring Plan to evaluate the success of reclamation efforts. According to the Reclamation Standards and Monitoring Plan, reclaimed sites will be monitored periodically, remediated if necessary, and eventually compared to an appropriate reference area to determine whether reclamation goals have been achieved and the site can be released from further monitoring. Plant cover, density, and species richness (success parameters) on reclaimed sites are compared to 60 percent of the values (success criteria) for the same parameters on the reference area. Small sites (less than 0.1 ha) are evaluated for release using qualitative methods while large sites (greater than 0.1 ha) are evaluated using quantitative methods. In the summer of 2000, 31 small sites reclaimed in 1993 and 1994 were evaluated for reclamation success and potential release from further monitoring. Plant density, cover, and species richness were estimated on the C-Well …

Structure of the Mn complex in photosystem II: Insights from x-ray spectroscopy (open access)

Structure of the Mn complex in photosystem II: Insights from x-ray spectroscopy

We have used Mn K-edge absorption and Kb emission spectroscopies to determine the oxidation states of the Mn complex in the various S-states. We have started exploring the new technique of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering spectroscopy (RIXS); this technique can be characterized as a Raman process that uses K-edge energies (1s to 4p, {approx}6550 eV) to obtain L-edge-like spectra (2p to 3d, {approx}650 eV). The relevance of these data to the oxidation states and structure of the Mn complex is presented. We have obtained EXAFS data from the S0 and S3 states and observed heterogeneity in the Mn-Mn distances, leading us to conclude that there may be three rather than two di-(mu)-oxo bridged units present per tetranuclear Mn cluster. In addition, we have obtained data using Ca/Sr X-ray spectroscopy that provide evidence for a heteronuclear Mn/Ca cluster. The possibility of three di-(mu)-oxo-bridged Mn Mn moieties and the proximity of Ca is incorporated into developing structural models for the Mn cluster. The involvement of bridging and terminal O ligands of Mn in the mechanism of oxygen evolution is discussed in the context of our X-ray spectroscopy results.

Thermal Cook-off of an HMX Based Explosive: Pressure Gauge Experiments and Modeling (open access)

Thermal Cook-off of an HMX Based Explosive: Pressure Gauge Experiments and Modeling

Safety issues related to thermal cook-off are important for handling and storing explosive devices. Violence of event as a function of confinement is important for prediction of collateral events. There are major issues, which require an understanding of the following events: (1) transit to detonation of a pressure wave from a cook-off event, (2) sensitivity of HMX based explosives changes with thermally induced phase transitions and (3) the potential danger of neighboring explosive devices being affected by a cook-off reaction. Results of cook-off events of known size, confinement and thermal history allows for development and/or calibrating computer models for calculating events that are difficult to measure experimentally.
