Regulation of coal polymer degradation by fungi. Quarterly report, 31 July 1997--30 September 1997

Description: During this reporting period the authors continued their investigations of how low rank coals are degraded by wood rotting fungi. Previous investigations showed that ligninolytic cultures of P. chrysosporium could decolorize soluble low rank coal macromolecule. The authors continue to investigate this phenomenon. Consistent with earlier observations they conclude that soluble coal macromolecule is decolorized in ligninolytic cultures of P. chrysosporium. To determine if this fungus can depolyme… more

Consequences of a postulated tank bump related to Project W-320

Description: An analysis was performed of radiological and toxicological consequences of a conservative tank bump scenario which could occur if preventative measures fail and the local sludge temperature exceed the saturation temperature for a long enough period of time to produce a release of this type. Because of the nature of the release, there are no effective mitigative actions which can be taken other than prevention of the tank bump. The unmitigated scenario analyzed here exceeded both onsite and off… more
