WASTE BURIAL GROUND DATA PACIFIC NORTHWEST LABORATORY SITES

Information pertinent to solid waste burial sites under the control of Battelle-Northwest is provided. In particular, data are tabulated for given sites providing the acreage of the given burial sites, dates of activation and deactivation or continued active status, buried waste volume, waste type according to what radiations are emitted, grams of beta and gamma emitters and plutonium buried, how the plutonium is contained, and term of storage (i.e., long term). A map of the Hanford area is provided giving the locations of some of the burial grounds. Finally, a page of descriptive information is given for each site giving the status, reference drawing number, location, description, and contents

Preparing the body for new Hardware

Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, June 2008.Includes bibliographical references (p. 92-94).Today's citizen navigates a vast society engaged in the explicit of wealth and implicit creation of risks. Each transaction inhere es both wealth and risk within the system. In 1986 Utrich Beck explanation for this emerging post modern condition. His work, Risk Society: Towards a New Modernity, sketches the outlines of a society the management and reduction of risk. Beck recognizes that a reach a point where efforts to increase wealth will be supersede to avoid risk. The organization of society will shift from the pro distribution of goods and services, to the redistribution and r risk. Through play activities the RISK COMPLEX will prepare cit risk society. The RISK COMPLEX seeks to provide a space that empowers the individual within the complicated web of risk connections. Visitor to the RISK COMPLEX learn about methods and technologies that allow their individual risk. In the same way a child uses play to simulate ... empower individuals within the Risk society. Sited on Coney island the RISK COMPLEX taps into historical plays cape that include the beach and boardwalk. The architecture links to the existing amusement infrastructure but seeks to carve out a seperate matrix of simulated risks that individuals can engage.by Luke Voiland.M.Arch

Characterizing the Preferences and Values of US Recreational Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Anglers

The Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Thunnus thynnus is the target of a recreational fishery along the U.S. East Coast that is thought to be of considerable economic value. In some years, recreational landings have exceeded the sector’s annual subquota due to changes in fish availability, limited predictability of angler effort, and difficulties in realtime monitoring of catch. Understanding the drivers of angler behavior is critical for predicting how effort and harvest may vary as a function of changing fish availability, regulations, or costs. To investigate angler decision making, preferences, and values, we surveyed private recreational anglers from Maine to North Carolina and employed discrete choice experiments to determine how regulatory and nonregulatory trip-specific variables influence trip-taking behavior. A latent class-ranked log it model identified two distinct classes of anglers who exhibited differing preferences in regard to the importance of nonconsumptive aspects of Bluefin Tuna fishing (e.g., catch and release). Income and recent Bluefin Tuna targeting were the primary determinants of class membership, and higher-income anglers who had targeted Bluefin Tuna in the past 5 years were significantly more likely to be in the class that derives substantive benefits from nonconsumptive angling activities. An annual consumer surplus exceeding US$14 million was estimated for the 2015 fishery. We considered potential angler welfare impacts of possible management changes (compensating surplus) and identified a large amount of latent effort currently present in the fishery in the form of consumptive-oriented anglers. As a result, liberalization of harvest regulations could potentially lead to a large influx of effort into the fishery, which could impede the ability of managers to maintain harvest levels within prescribed limits

How and Why Too Much Health Journalism Lead the Public Astray: Case Studies from a Former Medical Reporter.

Paper presented at the 1st International Symposium on Understanding Health Benefits and Risks: Empowering Patients and Citizens. Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland. May 29, 2009Every day, consumers are bombarded by countless medical stories touting the latest research published in The New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of the American Medical Association, and other leading medical journals. Occasionally, such articles are true to the state of the science and make honest and thorough efforts to present the complexity of the research, offer context on the findings, and break-down the degree of risk to consumers in a concise and accessible fashion. More often, however, consumers are left with simplistic and misleading news reports that do as much to mislead as to inform. This presentation will look at case studies including prostate cancer, bisphenol A, accident safety, and others to explore how and why mistakes are made in medical news reports and how journalists and scientists can work together more effectively to prevent them

THE PREPARATION OF URANIUM DIOXIDE FROM A MOLTEN SALT SOLUTION OF URANYL CHLORIDE

Uranium oxides in a molten eutectic mixture of NaClKCl were chlorinated by bubbling chlorine gas through the mixture. The reaction product, uranyl chloride. was soluble in the molten salt. Although UO/sub 2/ was the most common oxide used, the reaction was similar in the other oxides. Phosgene and aluminum chloride were also used as chlorinating agents. A dense, crystalline precipitate of pure UO/sub 2/ was prepared by the reduction of the uranyl chloride contained in the molten salt solution. The reduction was accomplished by contacting the salt solution with any of several metals, by reaction with hydrogen or dry ammonia gas, or by electrolysis. Several kilograms of UO/sub 2/ were prepared by electrolysis using graphite electrodes. The physical properties of the material made it potentially useful as a ceramic fuel material. The initial high particle density of the "as-produced" UO/sub 2/ was considered of great potential advantage for adapting this process to the refabrication of irradiated UO/sub 2/ into recycle fuel elements.
