Analysis of Waterbody Surface Heat Exchange
The Edinger-Duttweiler-Geyer (EDG) approach for estimating heat exchange at a water surface was examined and its applicability to ice-covered waterbodies determined. The EDG linearized...

Heat Exchange at the Ice/Water Interface on Flowing Water
Any time the water flowing under an ice cover has a temperature above freezing, there is an exchange of heat between the water and the ice. Earlier work by Ashton and others provided adequate...

Small-Scale Meteorology of Freezing Precipitation
Freezing rain and glazing are extremely disruptive to transportation, communication and power transmission. Local variations in the occurrence of freezing rain may be difficult to forecast....

Preliminary Results of Direct Tension Tests on First-Year Sea Ice Samples
We present the initial results of our tests to determine the tensile behavior of columnar sea ice over a range of temperatures extending from -20 to -3?C and strain rates of 10^-5...

Wind Power in Antarctica?Case Histories of the North Wind HR3 Wind Turbine
The combination of extreme weather conditons and remoteness of the Antarctic sites makes them even better suited for wind turbine installations since the alternative power sources are...

Valuing Residual Emissions in Electricity Planning
Incorporating the valuation of residual emissions into calculations of social cost permits comparisons among alternative sources of electricity generation inclusive of environmental impacts....

The Future of Non-Utility Generation
The business of designing, constructing and operating non-utility owned electric power plants continues to evolve into the 1990s. The industry is consolidating as smaller market participants...

Will The Market in Emission Allowances Work?
The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 introduce a major new control program to mitigate the impacts of acid rain. The control program, which has been under debate for approximately a decade,...

Projections for Reduction in Lake Acidification From SO₂ Emission Reductions
The Acid Deposition Assessment Model (ADAM) is used to assess the possible range of effects of a national acid rain emission reduction plan on lake chemistry and fish populations in the...

Optimization Models for Acid Rain Control
A series of related optimization formulations are presented for developing and analyzing acid rain control strategies. These models span a wide array of approaches and reflect a similarly...

Screening Emissions Control Measures
Under the new Clean Air Act, electric utilities will be able to choose from a wider range of sulfur dioxide emissions control options than in the past. Among the newly available measures...

The Processing of Simulated High-Level Radioactive Waste Sludges Containing Nitrites and Mercury
The reaction of formic acid with simulated alkaline sludge containing mercury and nitrite was studied in an engineering-scale facility. Quantification of offgas production was performed,...

Properties of Solidified HLW and Their Changes Under Storage and Disposal Conditions
The paper gives the results of the studies of the properties of different solidified high level waste (HLW) - vitreous (phosphate and borosilicate) composites as well as glass ceramics...

A Probe Method for Measuring In Situ Rock Thermophysical Properties
The application of a thermal probe method for in situ thermophysical property measurement is analyzed. The REKA method (Rapid Evaluation of k and alpha) involves a single-borehole probe...

Variation of Permeability with Temperature in Fractured Topopah Spring Tuff Samples
Fractures will play an important role in the near-field hydrology of a nuclear-waste package in a mined repository. Our previous studies showed that the water permeability of fractured...

Potential ?⁴CO₂ Releases from Spent Fuel Containers at Yucca Mountain
The potential release of gaseous ¹⁴CO₂ from small perforations in spent fuel containers has been evaluated...

Cask Systems Development Program Seal Technology
General design or test performance requirements for radioactive materials (RAM) packages are specified in Title 10 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 71 (10 CFR 71). Seals that...

General Circulation Models: Applications for Nuclear Waste Repositories
Numerical models have long been used to relate causal and response functions in the natural environment. Some 20 years ago, one-dimensional, multi-causal models of earth temperature evolved,...

Emplacement Drift Temperature Reduction by Cooling Enhancement and Ventilation
The application of cooling enhancement in a short vertical container emplacement layout is analyzed. Two 25 m-long heat pipes upward oriented at 45 degrees are installed at each emplacement...

Three-Dimensional Thermal Analysis for Temperature Distribution in Geological Formation
A three-dimensional conduction heat transfer program has been developed for use on microcomputer for thermal analysis of a conductive medium subject to, finite length heat sources. The...
