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...
Yucca Mountain Near Field Environment Considerations for Engineered Barrier System Design and Performance
Waste emplacement environment will be essentially dry for at least 300 years and will likely continue to be dry for more than 1000 years, both as a result of the unsaturated ambient conditions...
The Grounding of Shipping Containers in the British Virgin Islands
Effects of the Construction of Offshore Structures on the Traffic Pattern of Ships in Coastal Waters
The Width of the New Artificial Channel of the Port of Lisbon—An Application of the SIMNAV Simulation Model
The study of the width of the new artificial channel for the entrance of the port of Lisbon (in the Tagus estuary), which will allow the passage of fourth generation container ships, is...
Anchor Damage on the Coral Reef of Sombrero Island, Batangas, Philippines
A total of fifty six anchor drops and retrieval were observed in the coral reef of Sombrero Island, Batangas Philippines. The study showed that a total of 15.4164 square meters of corals...
High Level Radioactive Waste Management 1991
The proceedings of the second annual international conference on High Level Radioactive Waste Management, held on April 28 - May 3, 1991, Las Vegas, Nevada, provides information on the...
Return Velocities Induced by Shallow-Draft Navigation
Return velocities are caused by the displacement effects of vessels as they travel in navigation channels. Numerous return velocity equations have been developed for relatively small channels...
Numerical Modeling of Proposed Channel Designs (J. F. Baldwin III), California
Ship simulator studies of proposed improvements to navigable waterways are a very important part of any assessment. The John F. Baldwin Channel (JFB) Project (Phase III) is a ship channel...
Using Real-Time Location Information for Hazardous Materials Shipments
Real-time location information on shipments of hazardous materials can be used to update routing decisions while the shipments are in transit. The effects of unforeseen delays, accidents...
Marina Del Rey: 30 Years of Environmental Impact
Marina del Rey - the world's largest man-made recreational boating harbor - also holds primacy in pollution. Marina del Rey is home port to more than 6,100 vessels in wet...
A Case Study of Propeller-Induced Currents and Sediment Transport in a Small Harbor
The operation of vessels in marinas and small harbors can provide important driving forces affecting ambient circulation patterns and current speeds near the bottom. The case study on...
Conflicts Between Pleasure Boats and Fishing Boats at Marinas in Japan
At present, some half of the marinas operating in Japan have conflicts of various kinds relating to the navigation of pleasure boats. This study discusses the findings of a study on 365...
Hydrodynamics and Mass Transfer in a Jet-Agitated Vessel
Experiments of carbon dioxide absorption in water have been carried out in a turbulent vessel presenting a zero mean shear stress value at the gas-liquid interface. Liquid-phase turbulence...
Spray and Ice Measurement Instrumentation for Ships
Bow slamming is the primary water delivery mechanism for ship superstructure icing. Spray flux is largely dependent upon hull dynamics, and cannot be computed numerically with current...
Defining and Analyzing the Maritime Support Service Industries
Maritime support service firms are critical to the operation of a port but have been little studied. A formal definition has never been developed. A working definition could include firms...
