Your Push-Button Future

Project yourself into the 1980\u27s. Material comforts surround you at every turn. Spare time has multiplied; opportunities for travel and recreation have become bountiful. Good health and longer life are almost everyone\u27s to enjoy. You have more money to spend and more things to spend it on

Your Glasses Reflect You

Hi! I\u27m Peggie Quelquon and something simply dreadful has happened to me. I have to wear glasses. Oh, I realize that Dorothy Parker\u27s saying about men seldom making passes at girls who wear glasses is way out of it, but I know I\u27ll look just terrible wearing them. Just for moral support, won\u27t you come to the opticians with me

The Artist, The Journalist, and the Mosaic

I just finished wrapping a Christmas present I\u27m real proud of. It all started the other clay when my friend, Cindy Thiessen, showed me some pictures of mosaics she had made for wedding presents. I was \u27oohing\u27 and \u27ahhhing\u27 and she said why didn\u27t I make some, too. This was pretty funny because my friend Cindy, she\u27s artistic, and that\u27s just the opposite of me

Synthesis and characterization of tungsten trioxide powders prepared from tungstic acids

WO3 powders were prepared by the thermal decomposition of tungstic acids (WO3 nH2O, n ¼ 1/3, 1, 2). The tungstic acids were synthesized from WO4 2 aqueous solutions under a variety of conditions of pH, temperature and W(VI) concentrations. The thermal decomposition of the tungstic acids into WO3 was analysed by TG and DSC methods. Nano-sized WO3 powders with different morphological characteristics were obtained by thermal treatment of the tungstic acids at 500 8C in air atmosphere. The morphologies of WO3 powders were characterised by scanning electron microscopy and infrared absorption spectroscopy. Patterns of infrared spectra were related with distinct powder morphologies

The Status of Radiation Damage Experiments

Experiments have been on-going for about two years to determine the effects that radiation damage have on the physical and chemical properties of candidate titanate ceramics for the immobilization of plutonium. We summarize the results of these experiments in this document

Investigation of Accelerated Casing Corrosion in Two Wells at Waste Management Area A-AX

This report was revised in September 2008 to remove acid-extractable sodium data from Tables 3.13 and 3.14. The sodium data was removed due to potential contamination introduced during the acid extraction process. The rest of the text remains unchanged from the original report issued in August 2005. An overall goal of the Groundwater Performance Assessment Project, led by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and per guidance in DOE Order 5400.1, includes characterizing and defining trends in the physical, chemical, and biological condition of the environment. To meet these goals, numerous Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) monitoring wells have been installed throughout the Hanford Site. In 2003, it was determined that two RCRA monitoring wells (299-E24-19 and 299-E25-46) in Waste Management Area (WMA) A-AX failed due to rapid corrosion of the stainless steel casing over a significant length of the wells. Complete casing corrosion occurred between 276.6 and 277.7 feet below ground surface (bgs) in well 299- E24-19 and from 274.4 to 278.6 feet bgs in well 299-E25-46. CH2M HILL Hanford Group, Inc., asked scientists from PNNL to perform detailed analyses of vadose zone sediment samples collected in the vicinity of the WMA A-AX from depths comparable to those where the rapid corrosion occurred in hopes of ascertaining the cause of the rapid corrosion
