CsAlSi/sub 5/O/sub 12/: a possible host for /sup 137/Cs immobilization (open access)

CsAlSi/sub 5/O/sub 12/: a possible host for /sup 137/Cs immobilization

CsAlSi/sub 5/O/sub 12/ exhibits more acid resistance than pollucite (CsAlSi/sub 2/O/sub 6/). At pH values of 1.02 and 1.40, the extraction of Cs from CsAlSi/sub 5/O/sub 12/ at 25/sup 0/C was approximately proportional to the square root of leach time. The Cs extraction at 25/sup 0/C varied as (H/sup +/)/sup 0/ /sup 36/ over the pH range of 1 to 6. Also, the Cs extraction in various brines at 300/sup 0/C/30 MPa was comparable with that for pollucite. CsAlSi/sub 5/O/sub 12/ can be crystallized at about 1000/sup 0/C from calcines if a small amount of CaO is present, but in the absence of such sintering acids, crystallization temperatures of about 1400/sup 0/C are necessary. Compatibility data were also obtained with respect to several other phases with which CsAlSi/sub 5/O/sub 12/ might be expected to coexist in tailored ceramics designed for high-level defense waste.

National forecast for geothermal resource exploration and development with techniques for policy analysis and resource assessment (open access)

National forecast for geothermal resource exploration and development with techniques for policy analysis and resource assessment

The backgrund, structure and use of modern forecasting methods for estimating the future development of geothermal energy in the United States are documented. The forecasting instrument may be divided into two sequential submodels. The first predicts the timing and quality of future geothermal resource discoveries from an underlying resource base. This resource base represents an expansion of the widely-publicized USGS Circular 790. The second submodel forecasts the rate and extent of utilization of geothermal resource discoveries. It is based on the joint investment behavior of resource developers and potential users as statistically determined from extensive industry interviews. It is concluded that geothermal resource development, especially for electric power development, will play an increasingly significant role in meeting US energy demands over the next 2 decades. Depending on the extent of R and D achievements in related areas of geosciences and technology, expected geothermal power development will reach between 7700 and 17300 Mwe by the year 2000. This represents between 8 and 18% of the expected electric energy demand (GWh) in western and northwestern states.

Assessment of underground coal gasification in bituminous coals: potential UCG products and markets. Final report, Phase I (open access)

Assessment of underground coal gasification in bituminous coals: potential UCG products and markets. Final report, Phase I

The following conclusions were drawn from the study: (1) The US will continue to require new sources of energy fuels and substitutes for petrochemical feedstocks into the foreseeable future. Most of this requirement will be met using coal. However, the cost of mining, transporting, cleaning, and preparing coal, disposing of ash or slag and scrubbing stack gases continues to rise; particularly, in the Eastern US where the need is greatest. UCG avoids these pitfalls and, as such, should be considered a viable alternative to the mining of deeper coals. (2) Of the two possible product gases LBG and MBG, MBG is the most versatile. (3) The most logical use for UCG product in the Eastern US is to generate power on-site using a combined-cycle or co-generation system. Either low or medium Btu gas (LBG or MBG) can be used. (4) UCG should be an option whenever surface gasification is considered; particularly, in areas where deeper, higher sulfur coal is located. (5) There are environmental and social benefits to use of UCG over surface gasification in the Eastern US. (6) A site could be chosen almost anywhere in the Illinois and Ohio area where amenable UCG coal has been determined due …

Stability of ceramic waste forms in potential repository environments: a review (open access)

Stability of ceramic waste forms in potential repository environments: a review

Most scenarios for geologic disposal of high-level nuclear waste include the eventual intrusion of groundwater into the repository. Reactions in the system and eventual release of the radionuclides, if any, will be controlled by the chemistry of the groundwater, the surrounding rock, the waste form, and any engineered barrier materials that are present, as well as by the temperature and pressure of the system. This report is a compilation and evaluation of the work completed to date on interactions within the waste-form/host-rock/groundwater system at various points in its lifetime. General results from leaching experiments are presented as a basis for comparison. The factors involved in studying the complete system are discussed so that future research may avoid some of the oversights of past research. Although relatively little hard data on prototype waste-form/repository-system interactions exist at this time, the available data and their implications are discussed. Sorption studies and models for predicting radionuclide migration are also presented, again with a study of the factors involved.

Scattering of waves from a staggered difference scheme on a variable grid (open access)

Scattering of waves from a staggered difference scheme on a variable grid

We show experimentally that for a staggered scheme on a variable grid the numerical solution of the wave equation exhibits scattering of waves even when the grid varies slowly and the waves are smooth. We also show that this scattering is predicted very well by a modified equation, which thus serves as a backward error analysis.

Fluorescent scattering by molecules embedded in small particles. Progress report, February 1, 1981-January 31, 1982 (open access)

Fluorescent scattering by molecules embedded in small particles. Progress report, February 1, 1981-January 31, 1982

In earlier work a model of fluorescent and Raman scattering by active molecules represented as classical electric dipoles embedded in small particles was developed. The intensity and angular distribution of the inelastically scattered radiation was shown to depend on the geometric and optical properties of the particle. The model was originally developed for particles having spherical shape and later extended to concentric spheres, cylinders, and prolate spheroids. The active molecules were originally assumed to be isotropically polarizable. The model has been recently extended to certain types of anisotropically polarizable molecules. The model had also been applied to particles having internal structure.
