Site and Facility Waste Transportation Planning Documents (SPDs): Status and Findings
Site and Facility Waste Transportation Services Planning Documents (SPDs) are detailed desk-top reference documents that initiate planning for shipping commercial spent nuclear fuel (SNF)...

Cask Storage Verification Test?Full Scale Test
In Japan, the cask-storage method of spent fuel will be licensed in the near future and the related R&D works (partly of the Japanese Government have been carried out mainly by...

Constraints to Effective Dissemination of Educational and Informational Materials on Radioactive Waste and Radioactive Waste Management: A Delphi Study
Because of the increased use of nuclear energy worldwide, and consequently because of increased need to store high level radioactive waste, a pressing need has surfaced to inform the citizenry...

Radionuclide Migration to the Aquifer Through the Porous Medium
Time dependent doses of radionuclides from a waste container to the aquifer through porous medium are analyzed for (1) congruently released transuranic elements such as Np-237 and (2)...

The DOE Tansportation Management Division's Motor Carrier Evaluation Program
The movement of hazardous materials and wastes over the nation's highways by commercial motor carriers presents a challenge for the purchaser of transportation services. During the next...

Installation and Routing of Critical Embedments at the Hanford Waste Vitrification Plant
During the preliminary design phase of the project, a study was conducted to develop concepts for routing embedded piping and conduit between the remote cells and the service corridors...

Mechanical Design of the Storage Tubes in the HWVP Canister Storage Building
Canisters of high-level waste from the Hanford Waste Vitrification Plant (HWVP) will be stored in an adjacent facility, the Canister Storage Building (CSB). The canisters are stored vertically...

Investigation of Fracture-Matrix Interaction: Preliminary Experiments in a Simple System
Paramount to the modeling of unsaturated flow and transport through fractured porous media is a clear understanding of the processes controlling fracture-matrix interaction. As a first...

Preliminary Characterization of Materials for a Reactive Transport Model Validation Experiment
The geochemical properties of a porous sand and several tracers (Ni, Br, and Li) have been characterized for use in a caisson experiment designed to validate sorption models used in models...

Educational Programs at Penn State Breazeale Reactor?A Focus on Waste
Discussions about energy policy and issues focus on environmental impact of energy production and the generation of waste. When dealing specifically with nuclear energy, one of the major...

Control of Tracers, Fluids, and Materials for the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project
This paper describes use and control of tracers, fluids, and materials (TFM) at the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project. Management of TFM is necessary to ensure that site characterization...

An Integrated Approach Toward Characterization of Radionuclide Transport at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
A major effort of site characterization activities at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, a site being studied by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as a potential repository of high-level radioactive...

Modelling Colloidal Transport of Radionuclides Through Porous Media
General acknowledgement of the potential role of colloids in enhancing radionuclide transport has prompted the preliminary development of a mechanistic colloid transport model as part...

Are Colloids Important for Transport Rate Assessment of Radionuclides? A Microscopic Modeling Approach
Understanding the transport phenomena of radionuclides migrating through weakly-permeable rocks forms an essential part of far-field safety assessment studies. Colloidal matter can be...

Experience in Modeling for Environmental Physics and Biogeochemistry
This report is a short review of the author's personal experience on phys.-math. and system-logical modeling of migration and transport processes (MTP) of radionuclides, trace-elements...

The Analysis of Repository-Heat-Driven Hydrothermal Flow at Yucca Mountain
To safely and permanently store high-level nuclear waste, the potential Yucca Mountain repository site must mitigate the release and transport of radionuclides for tens of thousands of...

Spent Fuel Assembly Source Term Sensitivity Parameters: SAND92-2113C TTC-1225
Containment of cask contents by a transport cask in a function of the cask body, one or more closure lids, and various bolting, hardware, and seals associated with the cavity closure and...

Incorporating Public Outreach in the MRS Design
As the design of the proposed DOE-OCRWM MRS facility progresses, facility layouts that allow for frequent and unhindered viewing of the MRS processes by the public should be developed....

Inference of Moisture Content in Unsaturated Media Using Ultrasonics
This study focuses on the ability of commercial ulltrasonics equipment to determine the moisture content in unsaturated media. We are interested in the possible application of this technology...

Radionuclide Transport in Fractured Media
Until recently, the classical advective-dispersive transport equation was considered to be an adequate model for describing the motion of a solute (e.g. radionuclides) in porous and fractured...
