The Oregon Experiment: Public Information and Involvement
Oregon is neighbor to the Hanford Nuclear Site that now has the nation's largest store of radioactive waste. Oregon supports Hanford cleanup, which will require waste transport...

Barometric Pumping of Contaminated Gases Through Fractured Permeable Media
Contaminated gases may be transported vertically through a fractured permeable medium by the breathing process which is associated with cyclical changes in the barometric pressure. A review...

Advances in the Study of Far-Field Phenomena Affecting Repository Performance
Studies of far-field phenomena affecting repository performance have focussed on the role of fractures and other heterogeneities in the potential transport of radioactive solutes from...

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...

The CVSA Pilot Study of Highway Vehicle Inspection Procedures for the Transportation of Radioactive Materials
To further the goal of enhancing the safe and efficient transportation of radioactive materials, the US Department of Energy and the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance have entered into...

MARNIE, a Near Field Transport Model for Radioactive Waste Repositories
The long term safety of a final repository for radioactive waste disposal has to be demonstrated. A number of scenarios can be postulated that could lead to a considerable release of radionuclides...

The Integrated Performance Assessment in SKI Project-90
The SKI Project-90 is a performance assessment of a hypothetical repository system with KBS-3 features in crystalline rock. A large part of the effort has been to identify and characterize...

Drafting of an ISO Standard for Leakage Tests on Packaging for the Transport of Radioactive Material
A working group (TC85/SC5/WG 10) has been formed by ISO for the drafting of an international standard covering the leak testing of radioactive material transport containers. A certain...

Scoping Experimental Analysis of Factors Affecting Cask Contamination Weeping
One issue of particular concern to both the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the US Department of Energy (DOE) involves the control of in-transit 'weeping'...

Being Responsive and Getting the Job Done Right
The United States Department of Energy (DOE) Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project Office (YMSCPO) has been given the responsibility for characterization of the potential repository...

Seeking Common Ground: Western Governors and the WIPP Transport Campaign
Nine Western States have engaged the U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE) to prepare for shipments of nuclear weapons waste. These are shipments of transuranic (TRU) wastes from nuclear weapons...

Historical Overview of Domestic Spent Fuel Shipments?Update
The information in this paper summarizes historic data on spent fuel shipments in the United States. The data are updated periodically to keep abreast of changes. Information on shipments...

An Approach to Assessing the Impacts of Incident-Free Air and Highway Transportation of Radioactive Materials
Annual radiation doses and risks were calculated for shipments of radioactive materials both in passenger aircraft and on highways, under accident-free and incident-free conditions, i.e.,...

Circuitous Routings: Integration of Public Acceptability with Technical and Economic Feasibility
Public acceptance of agency plans for shipment of radioactive wastes to disposal facilities may be critical to efforts to site geologic repositories. Local and state participation in route...

Development of a Pavement Design Expert System
The latest edition of the Guide for Design of Pavement Structures was published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials in 1986. This edition of the Guide...

Getting the Lead Out
When officials from Omaha, Neb. announced an ambitious plan to revitalize an abandoned stretch of land along the Missouri River, the land itself presented one of the biggest problems....

Transportation GIS Applications
The Ala-carte of important Transportation GIS topics we will be discussing are: US Department of Defense's (DOD) Global Positioning System (GPS) US Census Bureau's...

The Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Protection Program and the Baltimore Central Light Rail Line
This paper discusses Maryland's Critical Area Law, statewide guidelines and criteria, the Baltimore Central Light Rail Line, resource conservation areas, and other aspects...

Sediment Impediment to Boat Launching at Miller Park, City of Avon Lake, Ohio
In 1987 a boat launching facility was constructed at Miller Park, in the City of Avon Lake, Lorain County, Ohio (Figure 1). There have been problems with sediment buildup ever since it...

Mississippi River Diversions for Marsh Creation
Large scale, uncontrolled sediment diversions from the Mississippi River are proposed by the Corps of Engineers as a means of creating new marsh and reducing the loss of wetlands. These...
