The Influence of Seasonal Climatic Variability on Shallow Infiltration at Yucca Mountain
To analyze infiltration and the redistribution of moisture in alluvial deposits at Yucca Mountain, water content profiles at a 13.5 m deep borehole were measured at monthly intervals using...

Using Environmental Tracers to Estimate Recharge Through an Arid Basin
Multiple tracer techniques were used to estimate recharge rates through unsaturated alluvium beneath the Greater Confinement Disposal site, a waste disposal site located in Frenchman Flat,...

International Education Alliance for Education in Radioactive Waste Management
Sharing information among countries about technologies being used or planned for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste management, storage, and disposal is important toward...

Education in Radioactive Waste Management: Issues of Science, Technology and Society
Public acceptance of matters relating to radioactive waste management can properly be sought through education, but what are the particulars to be considered and what is the strategy for...

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...

Science Education Beyond the Classroom
The Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project (YMP) sponsors a variety of classroom-oriented projects and activities for teachers who request them. Also available, though, are extra-curricular...

The Sellafield Repository Project as Seen by the Public?A Comparison of Research Techniques
To see one's organisation through the eyes of others, to monitor that view and to amend it if necessary, is the primary role of the public relations and public affairs function in an establishment....

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)...

Modeling Gas and Brine Migration for Assessing Compliance of the WIPP
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is developing the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in southeastern New Mexico as a facility for the long-term disposal of defense-related transuranic...

Groundwater Impacts of Foreseeable Human Activities on a HLW Repository
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has begun a program of Systematic Regulatory Analysis (SRA) to help ensure that all important technical issues related to the disposal of...

The Impact of Using Reduced-Capacity Baskets on Cask Fleet Size and Cask Fleet Mix
The Civilian Radioactive Waste Management System transportation system will encounter a wide range of spent fuel characteristics. Since the Initiative I casks are being designed to transport...

Impact of More Conservative Cask Designs on the CRWMS Transportation System
The Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management has been working since the mid-1980s to develop a cask fleet, which will include legal weight truck and rail/barge casks, for the transport...

Marginal Overweight Operating Scenario for DOE's Initiative I Highway Casks
This paper assesses the potential transport of high-capacity Initiative I highway casks under development by the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) as permitted marginal...
