Fault zones are potential paths for release of radioactive nuclides from radioactive-waste repositories in granitic rock. This research considers detailed maps of en echelon fault zones at two sites in southern Sweden, as a basis for analyses of how their internal geometry can influence groundwater flow and transport of radioactive...
The seasonal concentration, turnover and mode of accumulation
of ³²P by the juvenile starry flounder in Alder Slough, a small eco-system in the Columbia River Estuary, was examined during 1969 and
1970.
Levels of ³²P and concentrations of total P were measured to
permit computation of specific activities (nCi³²P/g total...
This annual report describes progress in marine radioecological studies
under USAEC Contract Number AT(45-1)2227 Task Agreement 12 during the period
1 July 1970 through 30 June 1971. This contract number replaces USAEC
Contract Number AT(45-1)1750 which started 1 June 1962. Although the basic
report format has not been greatly changed...
This report covers somewhat more than a full year of operation.
Individual contracts between the AEC and Oregon State University covering
the research of William Pearcy, Andrew Carey, Jr. , and Charles Osterberg
were combined into a joint contract on 1 November 1964. No Progress
Reports for the unexpired portions...
Within the last 15 years, wastewater treatment plants have increasingly begun to find radioactive isotopes incorporated in biosolids. Regulations concerning the disposal of radioactive material via sanitary sewer systems were in place since the early 1960's and recently were further restricted. However, the updated regulations would not have prevented certain...
Our major effort since initiation of this contract has been directed
toward (1) procuring the gamma-ray spectrometric equipment and integrating
the components into an operational system, and (2) analyzing
the samples obtained from the midwater trawl program of the Department
of Oceanography and evaluating and interpreting the resulting data
Analyses...
This report covers the first full year of operation of our gammaray
spectrometry facility. A part of the contract period was devoted
to calibration of the instrument, and therefore, a brief report on this
procedure is included.
