Optimal Capacity Expansion in Multi-Aquifer Systems
A deterministic optimization model is presented for analyzing the capacity expansion policies in multi aquifer systems. The response of the system is included in the optimization model...
Ongoing Monitoring Results Pilot Stormwater Disposal Facilities, Pierce County, Washington
The three stormwater disposal facilities evaluated appeared to increase in pollutant removal effectiveness after approximately 4 to 5 months of operation. This may be due to the deposition...
Decision Analysis Model for Well Rehabilitation and Groundwater Development, Moses Lake, Washington
A decision analysis model has been developed for evaluating various well rehabilitation strategies and long-term groundwater development alternatives, as well as various investigation...
Winter Nutrient Losses to Groundwater Associated with Various Tillage Manure Systems
Excessive nutrient leaching to groundwater in agricultural watersheds has initiated research to develop control systems. Loading of nutrients are enhanced during the non-growing season...
Loading of Nutrients to Groundwater From High Source Areas During the Winter Period
Nutrient loading to surface, subsurface and groundwater in agricultural areas is the focus of control programs throughout the United States. In certain cases, high source areas can be...
Fingerprint Identification of Groundwater Petroleum Contamination Using Synchronous Scanning Fluorescence
Synchronous scanning fluorescence spectroscopy, SSF, is a simple, cost effective method for the fingerprint analysis of many petroleum contaminates in groundwater and soil samples. The...
Use of Contaminant Mobility and Transport Parameters to Determine Water Testing Protocol
By 1994, EPA plans to regulate 83 contaminants in public water supplies. For rural communities and individuals who are not classified as public systems, the cost to monitor all 83 contaminants...
Optimal Aquifer Management for Controlling Land Subsidence
This paper discusses on-going research in optimal regional aquifer management that has a multiplicity of goals: water supply, subsidence control, and energy management. Current research...
Dual-System Cleanup
Engineers designing a ground water treatment system for a manufacturing plant in northern California, found that two systems are better�and cheaper�than one. Most of the ground water at...
Migration of Spilled Oil from Ruptured Underground Crude Oil Pipelines in the Memphis Area
This study evaluated the impact of an oil pipeline rupture in the recharge area of a West Tennessee aquifer. Two potential break locations were chosen in the alluvial valley of a main...

Dissolution of Spent Fuel Under the Conditions of Wet Storage and Disposal
The release of cobalt and cesium from PWR spent fuel rods with three types of artificial defects made on their clads in demineralized water and also the dissolution of uranium from unirradiated...
Major and Trace Elements Regulation in Natural Granitic Waters. Application to Deep Radioactive Waste Disposals
In order to forecast the evolution of deep groundwaters in the environment of a radioactive waste disposal, one must be able to understand the behaviour of major and trace elements in...
Radiocolloid Transport in Saturated and Unsaturated Fractures
Studies have shown that radionuclides and toxic materials can attach to colloidal particles in groundwater or are themselves colloids. Since these contaminated particles can migrate several...
Conceptual Design Study of Geological Disposal System of High-Level Waste
Conceptual design study of geological disposal system for HLW was carried out taking into account geological environment in Japan, in order to provide disposal concepts for integrated...
Modelling of Hydro-Thermo-Mechanical Effects in a Fracture Intersecting a Nuclear Waste Deposition Hole
The groundwater flow in a vertical fracture intersecting a hypothetical nuclear waste deposition hole was examined. After excavation and emplacement of the nuclear waste canister, the...
Process and Criteria for Valuation of the Ground-Water Flow Models in the OECD/NEA International Stripa Project
In 1986, the Site Characterization and Validation (SCV) Program was initiated as part of Phase III of the OECD/NEA International Stripa Project. The principal intent of the SCV Program...
Demonstration of a Repository Performance Assessment Capability at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
In order to better review licensing submittals for a High-Level Waste Repository, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has expanded and improved its capability to conduct performance...
Performance Assessment Calculational Exercises (PACE-90): Overview and Summary
