Systems Integration and Economic Aspects of the Universal Container System
Universal containers (UC) are multi-assembly spent fuel containers that are loaded and sealed at reactor sites or the first DOE facility. They are thereafter handled as clean containers...

Recent Management Experience of UK Performance Assessments of Radioactive Waste Disposal
The approach to management used over the past decade by a UK Government regulatory body (HMIP) to develop, test and apply integrated risk assessment methods, using a team of private contractors,...

Conceptual Design of a Monitored Retrievable Storage Facility
In order to achieve timely acceptance of spent nuclear fuel into the federal radioactive waste management system and to limit the amount of additional at-reactor storage capacity that...

Demonstration of a Transportable Storage System for Spent Nuclear Fuel
The ultimate disposal of spent nuclear fuel is a major issue that continues to plague the nuclear industry and the Department of Energy (DOE). In an effort to resolve some of the outstanding...

Evaluation of Spent Fuel Behavior Under Interim Storage Conditions in Russia
The nuclear power in Russia is based on three types of water cooled power reactors VVER-440, -1000 and RBMK-1000. Two fast sodium cooled reactors-prototypes BN-350 and BN-600 are in commercial...

Shielding Benchmark Calculations of Selected Spent Fuel Storage Cask Experiments
This paper describes the application of the three-dimensional Monte Carlo code MORSE-SGC, as implemented in the SCALE system calculational sequence SAS4, to the analysis of a series of...

Verification of Shielding Analysis for Spent Fuel Storage Casks
Casks of type CASTOR are used for transport and storage of spent LWR fuel assemblies. The purpose of the present work is the verification of shielding design analysis methods by application...

Treatment of Non Fuel Bearing Scrap
Problems encountered with the processing of irradiated non fuel bearing components (NFBC) during several rod consolidation demonstration programs identified the need to conduct further...

Consolidating BWR Non-Fuel Bearing Components (NFBC)
Nuclear Assurance Corporation (NAC), in cooperation the with Empire State Electric Energy Research Corporation (ESEERCO) and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), has been developing...

Subsurface Transport of Radioactive Material Using Adaptive Finite Elements
A finite element method which utilizes mesh adaptation is used to calculate transient groundwater flow and pollutant transport. Mass lumping and reduced integration are employed to enhance...

A Galerkin Method for the Convection?Diffusion Equation Using Asymmetric Weighting Functions
A variation of the Petrov-Galerkin method of solution of a partial differential equation is presented in which the weight function applied to the time derivative term of a one-dimensional...

Stochastic Modelling of Groundwater Flow at the WIPP Site
A stochastic approach to modelling the groundwater flow in the vicinity of the WIPP site in New Mexico is described. A geostatistical model of the transmissivity of the Culebra dolomite...

Managing Government Contracts: Tips to Keeping Your Sanity
The key to managing large government projects is to divide it into smaller manageable pieces and organize it accordingly. Government projects are unique in that they require much more...

Evaluating Environmental Projects
Throughout the Nation, there is increased awareness of and concern for, environmental protection and restoration. Within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, new authorities are providing...

The Economic Value of Trout Fishery Management Programs
The contingent valuation method is used to estimate the economic value of a trout fishing day at the Cache la Poudre River in Colorado. In addition, changes in daily economic value and...

Managing Instream Flows for Salmonid Spawning Habitat
Detrimental sediment related effects on aquatic habitat for anadromous fisheries include (1) deposition of excessive amounts of fine sediments in spawning gravels, and (2) mobilization...

Stochastic Forecasts in Reservoir Planning and Operations
The factors involved in stochastic forecasts of water supply and demand are discussed in relationship to reservoir planning and operating decisions....

Characterization of Uncertainty in Reservoir Operations
The development of operating policies for complex reservoir systems typically requires a consideration of various system component interrelationships and several conflicting operating...

Using Forecasts to Improve Reservoir Operations
This review considers methodologies that have or can be employed to incorporate streamflow forecasts into reservoir policies and operating decisions. These include the use of streamflow...

Seasonal Water Quality Management Given Sparse Data
An approach for designing robust seasonal water quality management programs for river basins with sparse or short flow records is presented. This approach uses Markov chain modelling and...
