The 1987 Federal field exercise: The DOE experience (open access)

The 1987 Federal field exercise: The DOE experience

The second full-scale field exercise of the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP) was held at the Zion Nuclear Power Station, Zion, Illinois, in June 1987. The exercise incorporated the annual compliance exercise for the Zion plant and involved the operating utility, Commonwealth Edison Company, the states of Illinois and Wisconsin, local governments, volunteer groups, and representatives from 12 federal agencies. The 3-day exercise was played from many locations in the Zion area; Springfield, Illinois; Madison, Wisconsin; and Washington, DC. Approximately 1000 people participated in the exercise, which used a scenario in which an accident at the plant resulted in the release of radioactive material outside the plant boundary. The US Department of Energy (DOE) had major responsibilities during the planning, playing, and critiquing of the exercise; these functions are outlined in the report. This document describes the DOE participation in the planning and response during the exercise. During a radiological emergency, the FRERP gives DOE the responsibility for coordinating the federal radiological monitoring and assessment activities in support of the states and the cognizant federal agency. At Zion, a self-sufficient Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center was established by DOE at a nearby fairground in which over 200 people …

Analytic solution of pseudocolloid migration in fractured rock (open access)

Analytic solution of pseudocolloid migration in fractured rock

A form of colloid migration that can enhance or retard the migration of a dissolved contaminant in ground water is the sorption of the contaminant on the moving colloidal particulate to form pseudocolloids. In this paper we develop analytical solutions for the interactive migration of radioactive species dissolved in ground water and sorbed as pseudocolloids. The solute and pseudocolloids are assumed to undergo advection and dispersion in a one-dimensional flow field in planar fractures in porous rock. Interaction between pseudocolloid and dissolved species is described by equilibrium sorption. Sorbed species on the pseudocolloids undergo radioactive decay, and pseudocolloids can sorb on fracture surfaces and sediments. Filtration is neglected. The solute can decay and sorb on pseudocolloids, on the fracture surfaces, and on sediments and can diffuse into the porous rock matrix. 1 fig.

Annealing environment effects in solid-phase epitaxial regrowth of Fe-implanted Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ (open access)

Annealing environment effects in solid-phase epitaxial regrowth of Fe-implanted Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/

Samples of c-axis Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ were implanted with Fe(160 keV,4 /times/ 10/sup 16//cm/sup 2/) at liquid nitrogen temperature and then thermally annealed at temperatures of 900,960 and 1100/degree/C in an oxidising environment (flowing O/sub 2/) or in a reducing environment (flowing 96% Ar, 4% H). Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, ion channeling, and transmission electron microscopy of the crystals revealed differences in the annealing characteristics of the implanted layers that depended on the annealing environment. These results indicate the importance of the annealing atmosphere in determining the characteristics of epitaxially regrown layers in ion-implanted and thermally annealed Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/. 15 refs., 5 figs.

Annual environmental monitoring report of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (open access)

Annual environmental monitoring report of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory

The Environmental Monitoring Program of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) is described. Data for 1988 are presented and general trends are discussed. In order to establish whether LBL research activities produced any impact on the population surrounding the laboratory, a program of environmental air and water sampling and continuous radiation monitoring was carried on throughout the year. For 1988, as in the previous several years, dose equivalents attributable to LBL radiological operations were a small fraction of both the relevant radiation protection guidelines (RPG) and of the natural radiation background. 16 refs., 7 figs., 21 tabs.

Application for Underground Injection Control Permit for the PUNA Geothermal Venture Project (open access)

Application for Underground Injection Control Permit for the PUNA Geothermal Venture Project

Puna Geothermal Venture (PGV) plans to construct and operate the 25 MW Puna Geothermal Venture Project in the Puna District of the Island of Hawaii. The project will drill geothermal wells within a dedicated 500-acre project area, use the produced geothermal fluid to generate electricity for sale to the Hawaii Electric Light Company for use on the Island of Hawaii, and inject all the produced geothermal fluids back into the geothermal reservoir. Since the project will use injection wells, it will require an Underground Injection Control (UIC) permit from the Drinking Water Section of the State of Hawaii Department of Health. The PGV Project is consistent with the State and County of Hawaii's stated objectives of providing energy self-sufficiency and diversifying Hawaii's economic base. The project will develop a new alternate energy source as well as provide additional information about the nature of the geothermal resource.

Assessing risks from occupational exposure to low-level radiation: The statistician's role (open access)

Assessing risks from occupational exposure to low-level radiation: The statistician's role

Currently, several epidemiological studies of workers who have been exposed occupationally to radiation are being conducted. These include workers in the United States, Great Britain, and Canada, involved in the production of both defense materials and nuclear power. A major reason for conducting these studies is to evaluate possible adverse health effects that may have resulted because of the radiation exposure received. The general subject of health effects resulting from low levels of radiation, including these worker studies, has attracted the attention of various news media, and has been the subject of considerable controversy. These studies provide a good illustration of certain other aspects of the statistician's role; namely, communication and adequate subject matter knowledge. A competent technical job is not sufficient if these other aspects are not fulfilled.

An assessment of issues related to determination of time periods required for isolation of high level waste (open access)

An assessment of issues related to determination of time periods required for isolation of high level waste

A commonly held perception is that disposal of spent nuclear fuel or high-level waste presents a risk of unprecedented duration. The EPA requires that projected releases of radioactivity be limited for 10,000 years after disposal with the intent that risks from the disposal repository be no greater than those from the uranium ore deposit from which the nuclear fuel was originally extracted. This study reviews issues involved in assessing compliance with the requirement. The determination of compliance is assumption dependent primarily due to uncertainties in dosimetric data, and relative availability of the radioactivity for environmental transport and eventual assimilation by humans. A conclusion of this study is that, in time, a spent fuel disposal repository such as the projected Yucca Mountain Project Facility will become less hazardous than the original ore deposit. Only the time it takes to do so is in question. Depending upon the assumptions selected, this time period could range from a few centuries to hundreds of thousands of years considering only the inherent radiotoxicities. However, if it can be assumed that the spent fuel radioactivity emplaced in a waste repository is less than 1/10 as available for human assimilation than that in a uranium ore deposit, …

Automatic monitoring of valve status (open access)

Automatic monitoring of valve status

Authors propose establishing the relationship between valve leaking and thermal gradient to allow detection of valve leakage by observing the piping system`s temperature profile and using an expert system to infer the valve condition. They describe their work toward this and their January 1988 report thereon. The authors also suggest designing modem power plants to accommodate a remotely controlled or autonomous vehicle which would carry a device for thermal-gradient leak detection to examine valves in situ.
