Development of the GA-4 and GA-9 Legal Weight Truck Spent Fuel Shipping Casks
General Atomics (GA) is developing two legal-weight-truck spent-fuel shipping casks for transporting commercial reactor spent fuel. The GA-4 pressurized-water-reactor (PWR) and the GA-9...

High-Capacity, High-Strength Trailer Designs for the GA-4/GA-9 Casks
General Atomics (GA) is developing final designs for two dedicated legal-weight trailers to transport the GA-4 and GA-9 Spent-Fuel Casks. The basic designs for these high-capacity, high-strength...

Approach for Implementing Burnup Credit in High-Capacity Truck Casks
General Atomics (GA) will be submitting an application for certification to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the GA-4 and GA-9 Casks in 1992. To maintain a capacity of...

Volcanic Episodes Near Yucca Mountain As Determined by Paleomagnetic Studies at Lathrop Wells, Crater Flat, and Sleeping Butte, Nevada
It has been suggested that mafic volcanism in the vicinity of Yucca Mountain, Nev., is both recent (20 ka) and a product of complex 'polycyclic' eruptions. This...

⁴⁰Ar/?⁹Ar Laser Fusion and K-Ar Ages From Lathrop Wells, Nevada, and Cima, California: The Age of the Latest Volcanic Activity in the Yucca Mountain Area
K-Ar and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages from the Lathrop Wells volcanic center, Nevada, and from the Cima volcanic field,...

Multiple Event Considerations for Postclosure Seismic Hazard Evaluations at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Postclosure waste canister design requirements suggest the values used for seismic design have less than a 10% chance of being exceeded in a 1,000 year postclosure period. Considerably...

Weapons Test Seismic Investigations at Yucca Mountain
Yucca Mountain, located on and adjacent to the Nevada Test Site, is being characterized as part of an ongoing effort to identify a potential high-level nuclear waste repository. This site...

Tools for LWR Spent Fuel Characterization: Assembly Classes and Fuel Designs
Tools for the classification of fuel assembly types have been developed during the development of the Characteristics Data Base. The assembly class scheme is based upon the design of the...

Spent Fuel Waste Form Charactristics: Grain and Fragment Size Statistical Dependence for Oxidation Response
The Yucca Mountain Project of the U. S. Department of Energy is investigating the suitability of a site in the unsaturated zone at Yucca Mountain, NV, for a high level nuclear waste repository....

Spent Fuel Waste Form Characteristics: Grain and Fragment Size Statistical Dependence for Dissolution Response
The Yucca Mountain Project of the U.S. Department of Energy is investigating the suitability of the unsaturated zone at Yucca Mountain, NV, for a high-level nuclear waste repository. All...

Differentiating Between Education and Indoctrination
Indoctrination is to teach in such a way as to render alternative opinions, beliefs or solutions unacceptable or less attractive. Education is to teach with attention to academic freedom,...

Energy Education in the Higher Education Systems of California
At San Francisco State University and the University of California, Santa Barbara there is an energy course: Societal Problems of Energy that is designed for non-science majors. The course...

Radioactive Waste Management?An Educational Challenge
University Radioactive Waste Management educational programs are being actively advanced by the educational support activities of the Offices of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM)...

Science Education: Critical Link to Nuclear Waste Disposal and Management
The management and disposal of municipal, industrial, hazardous, and radioactive wastes have become critical public issues in the 1990s. In many cases, companies in the waste disposal...

Education?Path Towards Solution Regarding Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel
Education, not emotional reaction, is the path to take in the safe disposal of spent nuclear fuel. Education is needed at all levels: elementary schools, secondary schools, two-year colleges,...

Scientific Literacy and Public Education About High-Level Radioactive Waste
The citizens of the United States, and I would tend to believe of other countries, must be sufficiently science literate to make intelligent, rational decisions regarding energy and mineral...

BNFL and Education Living with Technology
Following upon a report to a House of Commons Select Committee, the Chairman and Chief Executive gave an undertaking to better inform young people about the Nuclear Industry. This lead...

Determination of Diffusivities of Sorbing and Nonsorbing Species in Rocks
Through-diffusion experiments were performed for the sorbing and nonsorbing species in granites. Determining methods of diffusivities were discussed according to sorption properties of...

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...

Migration Experiments at the Grimsel Test Site, Switzerland
The Grimsel Migration Experiment is a multidisciplinary study aimed at testing models of solute transport in fractured media, determining the degree to which laboratory results could be...
