Environmental status of the Hanford reservation for July--December 1969 [PDF]
Data are reported on the radioactivity of environmental samples collected from locations within the Hanford plant boundaries during the last six months of 1969. Data are included on: the total alpha activity and content of / sup 90/Sr and tritium in samples of Columbia River water; the total BETA activity of samples of drinking water; the total alpha ,

Hanford reservation area worker census: a research report for the Rockwell Hanford Operations [PDF]
Highlights of the worker census show: nearly 15,000 workers are in or immediately adjacent to the area; there are 21 employers; measured from the Purex plant, 80% of the total work force is located east-southeast and southeast; again centered at Purex Plant, 7% of the work force is within 2 miles, 20% within 10 miles, and 55% within 12 miles; the ...

Whole orchard recycling in California's Central Valley: Benefits, management, and adoption
Abstract Whole orchard recycling (WOR) has become a common practice in California (CA) orchards and vineyards due to declining options for agricultural biomass disposal. WOR is the process by which entire orchards or vineyards are shredded into chips, spread onto the soil surface, and incorporated into the soil before replanting a new crop.

ABSTRACT Regulated rivers represent complex hydrological systems where groundwater–surface water interactions are governed by natural conditions and human interventions. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of groundwater–surface water exchanges in the Nechako River, British Columbia (Canada), using numerical simulations.

Transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity of saturated sedimentary rocks in the Hanford Reservation [PDF]
The sedimentary rocks of the Pasco Basin include glaciofluviatile deposits and the Ringold Formation. They may also include sedimentary rocks interbedded with the basalts. In terms of the ground-water flow continuum these rocks are divided into the unsaturated zone, the upper dominantly coarse-clastic part of the zone of saturation and the lower ...

ABSTRACT Borosilicate glasses are extensively used in a variety of applications from kitchenware to nuclear waste immobilization due to the strong network formed by the Si─O─B bond that makes it resistant to chemical corrosion and gives it a low thermal expansion.

ABSTRACT Soil microbiota provide essential services to plants, but predicting or manipulating these benefits is difficult. Here, we investigated microbial benefits to legume crops at a landscape level to uncover factors that predict those services and can be modified by growers.

A novel cationic metal–organic framework (MOF‐monoAg) featuring monodispersed silver (Ag+) sites is developed for the highly selective extraction of aqueous iodide ions (I−). MOF‐monoAg exhibits high accessibility, selectivity, and binding affinity toward I− ions, enabling superior iodine extraction from seawater and efficient iodide removal from ...

Revegetation of a Waste Disposal Site in the 200 Areas of the Hanford Reservation [PDF]
The study area is located on a portion of a former 17-acre cooling water pond. It was used from October 1951 to April 1954 to receive process vessel cooling water and steam condensate arising from operation of the Redox plant. The pond was taken out of service when an inadvertent release of fission products caused the radionuclide concentrations in the

Respatializing Toxic Harm: The Case Against Sacrifice Zones
ABSTRACT Describing heavily polluted areas as “sacrifice zones” has become commonplace in recent decades, as diverse groups resist their unwitting exposure to destructive and toxic industrial, municipal, and military activities. However, pollutants tend to seep, spill, leak, and drift from wherever they are concentrated, defying any notion of physical ...
