Status Report Under Job Code D1018 gpl/y C VO1ftWLVD1 - NATURAL RESOURCE ASSESSMENT ETHODOLOGIES FOR THE PROPOSED HIGH-LEVEL WASTE REPOSITORY AT YUCCA OUNTAIN, YE COUNTY, NEVADA by Russell G. Raney Economic Models and Cost Analyses by Nicholas Wetzel U. S. Department of the Interior Bureau of ines Western Field Operations Center Spokane, WA Prepared for the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Under Interagency Agreement NRC-02-84-004 NRC FIN D1018 WrnF8E *08o- r1-C,,'v'ESELISDQ11, 1 MLOO03 51NO-b - ABSTRACT Resource assessment of proposed high-level waste (LW) repository sites and adjacent areas is mandated by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFIR) art 60. The intent of this document is threefold. First, it provides information to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) on accepted methods of resource assessment applicable to the proposed Yucca Mountain, Nevada HLW repository site, so DOE can demonstrate, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), compliance with regulations governing resource identification and evaluation. Secondly, it provides information that NRC can use in making a finding of DOE's compliance with the -requirements of 10 CFR Part 60. And lastly, it will provide input to the NRC's technical position and review guide. lethods of resource assessment, including but not limited to, geologic mapping and sampling, geochemical surveys, geophysical surveys, deposit modeling, and geomathematical studies, along with the advantages, disadvantages, and uncertainties associated with the use of the various methods, are discussed. Resource quantification, qualification, and evaluation methods and techniques are presented, as well as data sources for estimating capital and operating costs on the development and ey' ction of potential resources. Extraction/economic models for 5 s~ ,ted deposit types are also presented. CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT . INTRODUCTION . 1.

REGULATORY BASIS FOR ASSESSMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES 1.1 Def initions For purposes of clarity and brevity, it is necessary to define several frequently used terms. The following definitions are, for the most part, taken from NRC and Bureau of Mines (BOM) references "Resources" as used here is a collective term for all metallic and nonmetallic minerals and ores; fuels, including peat, lignite, and coal; or "dry heat." Ground or surface water in the usual sense (i.e., potable, agricultural, or industrial water at ambient temperature at relatively shallow depths), hydrocarbons (oil, gas, tar sands, asphalt, etc.), and geothermal occurrences are addressed in a separate report by the Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory nalyses (CNWRA). However, ground water in the form of mineral brines (other than sodium chloride brines), or even waters of relatively low salinity, a-re included as resources if at depths generally below those at which potable ground water is extracted, and if ti are potentially valuable for their dissolved mineral content (1) 1/. TV erm "natural resources" is used in the context of 10 CFR Part 60 (2) an is synonymous with "resources." "Resource exploration or exploitation activities" as used here eans o . any action, such as borehole drilling or sinking of shafts, in the search for mineral commodities (." The term "mineral commodities" is synonymous with "resources". The term "deposit" is used in reference to the physical occurrence of a resource. "Site characterization" as defined by 10 CFR Section 60.2 (2) is "The program of exploration and research, both in the laboratory and in the field, undertaken to establish the geologic conditions and the ranges of those parameters of a particular site relevant to the procedures in 1 CFR Part 6. Site characterization includes borings, surface excavations, excavation of exploratory shafts, limited lateral excavations and borings, and in situ testing at depth needed to determine the suitability of the site for a geologic repository, but does not include preliminary borings and geophysical testing needed to decide whether site characterization should be undertaken" Resource assessment is not a primary goal of site characterization, and any geological, geochemical, geophysical, or engineering data acquired for Dt purposes, when applied to -resource assessment, may be incomplete or rc in ignificant uncertainty. This notwithstanding, integration of such a n the resource assessment progran may prove to be of value in ass(ssi n the site's resource potential and, of greater importance, the potential for post-closure human interference 1/ NuNmbers in parentheses refer to items in the list of references following each section. 6 1.2 EffLulations Maniating Resource Assessment DOE is required by 10 CFR Part 60, Subpart (2), to apply to NRC for a license to receive and possess source, special nuclear, and byproduct material at a geologic repository operations area (GROA). License applications shall consist of general information and a Safety Analysis Report that includes provisions set forth in 10 C Section 60.21(c) (1-15) (2). Resource assessment requirements as specified in 10 CFR Section 60.21(c)(13), (2) state that the Safety Analysis Report shall include: An identification and evaluation of the natural resources of the geological setting, including estimates as to undiscovered deposits, the exploitation of which could affect the ability of the geologic repository to isolate nuclear wastes. Undiscovered deposits of resources characteristic of the area shall be estimated

  • International Character Code Standard for the BE2
    °, , CMU-ITC-87-091 International Character Code Standard for the BE2 June 18, 1987 Tomas Centerlind Information Technology Center (ITC) Camegie Mellon University 1. Major problems with foreign languages All European languages have a set of unique characters, even Great Britain with their Pound sign. Most of these characters are static and do not change if they are in the end or in the middle of the word. The Greek sigma sign however is an example of a character that changes look depending on the position. If we move on to the non-Roman alphabets like Arabic, they have a more complex structure. A basic rule is that certain of the characters are written together if they follow each other but not otherwise. This complicates representation and requires look ahead. In addition to this many of the languages have leftwards or downwards writing. All together these properties makes it very difficult to integrate them with Roman languages. Lots of guidelines have to be established to solve these problems, and before any coding can be done a set of standards must be selected or defined. In this paper I intend to gather all that I can think of that must be considered before selecting standards. Only the basic level of the implementation will be designed, so therefore routines that for example display complex languages like Arabic must be written by the user. A basic method that dislpays Roman script correctly will be supported. 1. Standards 1.1 Existing standards Following is a list of currently existing and used standards. 1.1.1 ASCII, ISO646 The ASCII standard, that is in use ahnost anywhere, will probably have to rcmain as a basic part of the system, and without any doubt it must be possible to read and write ASCII coded documents in the foreseeable future.

  • This Is Our Jerusalem”: Early American Evangelical Localizations of the Hebraic Republic
    Article “This Is Our Jerusalem”: Early American Evangelical Localizations of the Hebraic Republic Steele Brand Received: 16 October 2015; Accepted: 20 December 2015; Published: 28 December 2015 Academic Editors: Victor Roudometof and Peter Iver Kaufman Politics, Philosophy, and Economics Program, The King’s College, 56 Broadway, New York, NY 10004, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-212-659-7200 Abstract: This paper examines how evangelical pastors applied Protestant notions of a Hebraic Republic for their parishioners as America transitioned from a colonial frontier to a new republic. As the American constitutions took shape during and after the Revolution, many evangelical pastors argued that America emulated or was inspired by the Israelite polity as described by the Old Testament. America and its institutions thus became a reincarnated Hebraic Republic, a new “city on a hill”, and a new Jerusalem. Originally these pastors drew on a broader, global movement that was shaping republican attempts at reform in Europe, but as they localized the biblical model to their own particular experiences, they brought new meaning to it and exported the transformed model back out to the world. Keywords: hebraic republic; evangelical; preaching; sermon; constitutionalism On 5 October 2015, contractors used the cover of darkness and an increased presence of state police to separate a granite monument of the 10 Commandments from its base and remove it from the premises of the Oklahoma capitol. So ended the long drama stirred by objections that the monument violated the constitutional separation of church and state, objections upheld by the Oklahoma Supreme Court earlier that year. The situation in Oklahoma was another episode in an ongoing American saga.
