A multiple magnet using the FFAG graded coil technique has been designed with the aid of the two dimensional magnet modelling code Poisson. Rapid design interaction in problem formulation has been achieved with a new finite element mesh generator in which mesh densities can be manipulated to overcome difficulties in mesh topologies when spanning the grid over the problem domain.

A discussion of the offsite effective dose equivalents reported for 1988 SRS releases serves as the basis for this report. Detailed analyses of atmospheric and liquid release trends and their consequences in terms of relative importance among facilities, radionuclides, and exposure pathways have also been included. Releases of radioactivity to the atmosphere were generally lower in 1988 than in 1987. No major unplanned tritium releases were recorded during the year. However, there were three inadvertent releases of Pu-238 from F Area in January, March and October of 160, 32 and 83 uCi, respectively. Radioactive releases to onsite streams from direct discharges and seepage basin migration decreased in 1988. However, as a result of a decrease in the flow rate of the Savannah River in 1988, higher offsite doses were reported. The maximum individual dose, conversely, was down from 1987. This decrease reflected the fact that the maximum individual dose is most significantly affected by the cesium concentration in fish. In terms of largest contributors to dose, the releases were dominated by tritium, Cs-137 and to a much lesser extent Sr-90. With respect to the offsite population, doses from atmospheric releases are generally higher than those from liquid releases, and this …

The GeoProducts WEN-2 well, drilled 2200 feet northwest of Wendel Hot Springs in Lassen County, California, penetrated 4330 feet (1320 meters) of Tertiary basalt flows and volcanoclastics. Production of 251/sup 0/F (122/sup 0/C) thermal fluids comes either from a fault or from intergranular permeability in a 570-foot thick quartzite conglomerate channel overlying the granitic basement rocks at a depth of 4900 feet. The chemistry, temperature and hydrostatic head of the resource in WEN-2 are very similar to that of WEN-1 to the northeast. Unknown faults in the granitic basement rocks, other than the Wendel fault, may be important channelways for the geothermal system. 4 refs., 3 figs.

Per Groundwater Protection EIS commitments, a baseline of surface water hydrology and chemistry of each onsite stream is needed to define the existing environment of each watershed so that environmental impacts associated with the various waste site closure options can be assessed. This report summarizes the existing water quality of the Savannah River; lists the various waste sites encompassing this watershed; and summarizes the availability of surface water and floodplain sediment monitoring data, both radiochemical and physiochemical, collected from this watershed.
