“…** In Germany, because salt is envisioned as the host rock, solution mining the cavity is being considered (Koster, 1979). This is also a well developed technique (Davis, 1981). If the shafts pass through aquifers and cannot be sealed, water rings will have to be located around the shaft to convey the water leaking into the shaft into a central sump for pumping to the surface (Wacks, 1979).…”

Disposal of liquid radioactive wastes through wells or shafts

This report describes disposal of liquids and, in some cases, suitable solids and/or entrapped gases, through (1) well injection into deep permeable strata, bounded by impermeable layers, (2) grout injection into an impermeable host rock, forming fractures in which the waste solidifies, and (3) slurrying into excavated subsurface cavities. Radioactive materials are presently being disposed of worldwide using all three techniques. However, it would appear that if the techniques were verified as posing minimum hazards to the environment and suitable site-specific host rock were identified, these disposal techniques could be more widely used. • M.

An important decision for policy makers is selecting strategic petroleum reserve sites. However, policy makers may not choose the most suitable and efficient locations for strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) due to the complexity in the choice of sites. This paper proposes a multi-objective programming model to determine the optimal locations for China's SPR storage sites. This model considers not only the minimum response time but also the minimum transportation cost based on a series of reasonable assumptions and constraint conditions. The factors influencing SPR sites are identified to determine potential demand points and candidate storage sites. Estimation and suggestions are made for the selection of China's future SPR storage sites based on the results of this model. When the number of petroleum storage sites is less than or equals 25 and the maximum capacity of storage sites is restricted to 10 million tonnes, the model's result best fit for the current layout scheme selected thirteen storage sites in four scenarios. Considering the current status of SPR in China, Tianjin, Qingdao, Dalian, Daqing and Zhanjiang, Chengdu, Xi'an, and Yueyang are suggested to be the candidate locations for the third phase of the construction plan. The locations of petroleum storage sites suggested in this work could be used as a reference for decision makers.

The increase in atmospheric COz, which results primarily from combustion of fossil fuels for energy, could cause dramatic global climatic and environmental changes-the so-called "greenhouse effect." This study explores the technical feasibilities and the cost of controlling COP emissions from the stacks by removing, recovering, and disposing of C02 from fossil-fuel power plants in the U.S. It is estimated that up to a 10% reduction in the annual incremental atmospheric COz content would be achieved by the study control system. The total power required f o r such a control system ranges from 11 to 16% of the power-generating capacity in various regions of the U.S. Overall, the study system could essentially increase the capital inuestment of a power plant by 70 to 150%, and increase production cost of electricity by 56 to loo%, depending on the location of the plant.
