Instructions for borehole sampling

Description: Geologic systems generally are complex with physical properties and trends that can be difficult to predict. Subsurface geology exerts a fundamental control on groundwater flow and contaminant transport. The primary source for direct observation of subsurface geologic information is a borehole. However, direct observations from a borehole essentially are limited to the diameter and spacing of boreholes and the quality of the information derived from the drilling. Because it is impractical to dr… more

Geophysical investigation of burn pit, 128-H-1, 100-H Area

Description: The 128-H-1 burn pit is located in the northeast corner of 100-H Area. The objective of the survey was to delineate subsurface features in the 128-H-1 burn pit that may affect the emplacement of soil-gas probes. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic induction (EMI) were the two techniques used in the investigation. The methods were selected because they are non-intrusive, relatively fast, economical, and have been used successfully in other geophysical investigations on the Hanford… more

Development of a membrane-based process for the treatment of oily waste waters. [Quarterly] report, September 5--December 4, 1993

Description: The overall goal of this program is to develop a system based on reverse-osmosis (RO) membranes that can treat oily water economically. This system will be based on the use of thin-film-composite (TFC) membranes that consist of a selective coating placed on a solvent-resistant hollow-fiber support. For this program, we plan to develop solvent-resistant hollow-fiber supports and coat them with a ``loose RO`` coating. We developed the coating, which is designated TTM, in previous work for the tre… more

Investigation of the coherent synchrotron radiation spectrum as a probe of charge dynamics. Progress performance report

Description: The authors search for coherent Bremsstrahlung radiation was unsuccessful but during those measurement attempts, they made the first observation of coherent Cherenkov radiation in a solid. (Previous measurements had all been made in gases.) Because of the large index of refraction in solids, Cherenkov radiation is emitted at a large angle with respect to the electron beam while transition radiation is not. The result is that both components of the coherent spectrum can be examined at the same t… more

Results of groundwater quality assessment program at Low-Level Waste Management Area 3 of the low-level burial grounds

Description: Low-Level Waste Management Area 3 (LLWMA-3) is located in the 200 West Area of the Hanford Site. It is regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and is currently operating under an interim status groundwater quality assessment program described in Chamness, Jensen, and Last (1990). This assessment program was initiated when well 299-W7-4 exceeded the critical mean established for Total Organic Halogen (TOX) and wells 299-W7-5 and 299-W8-1 exceeded the critical mean for T… more

Fundamental Studies of Coal Liquefaction. Quarterly Report No. 9, October 1, 1993--January 1, 1994

Description: The results obtained over the past period include studies in our cell with Wyodak coal, and argon, water, n-undecane, and tetralin as media. The argon work was conducted at 7 atm and the others at 200 atm, and the results are shown in Figure 1. As we saw with Illinois No. 6 coal, in argon the particles began to swell at around 300{degree}C, and develop a fluid-like appearance. As just noted, the phenomenon appears to be the development of a tar, which is slowly expelled from the particles with … more

Review of environmental effects on fatigue crack growth of austenitic stainless steels.

Description: Fatigue and environmentally assisted cracking of piping, pressure vessel cladding, and core components in light water reactors are potential concerns to the nuclear industry and regulatory agencies. The degradation processes include intergranular stress corrosion cracking of austenitic stainless steel (SS) piping in boiling water reactors (BWRs), and propagation of fatigue or stress corrosion cracks (which initiate in sensitized SS cladding) into low-alloy ferritic steels in BWR pressure vessel… more

Second test of base hydrolysate decomposition in a 0.04 gallon per minute scale reactor

Description: LLNL has built and operated a pilot plant for processing oil shale using recirculating hot solids. This pilot plant, was adapted in 1993 to demonstrate the feasibility of decomposing base hydrolysate, a mixture of sodium nitrite, sodium formate and other constituents. This material is the waste stream from the base hydrolysis process for destruction of energetic materials. In the Livermore process, the waste feed is thermally treated in a moving packed bed of ceramic spheres, where constituents… more

National transuranic program plan

Description: As a result of various program initiatives, the U.S. generated and will continue to generate waste contaminated with radioactive materials. Because of increased awareness of the risks and special requirements to safely manage long-lived alpha-emitting radionuclides, a new category of radioactive waste, transuranic (TRU) waste, was adopted in 1970. Heads of Field Elements can determine that other alpha-contaminated wastes, peculiar to a specific site, must be managed as transuranic waste{close_q… more

241-SY-101 air lance removal lessons learned

Description: An emergency task was undertaken to remove four air lances and one thermocouple (TC) tree from tank 241-SY-101 (SY-101). This resulted from video observation that these pipes were being severely bent during periodic gas release events that regularly occurred every three to four months. At the time, the gas release events were considered to be the number one safety issue within the US Department of Energy (DOE) complex. This emergency removal task was undertaken on an extremely short schedule th… more
