Gas Generation and Migration in Radioactive Waste Disposal
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2001; US$ 75.00In underground repositories for radioactive waste, significant quantities of gases may be generated as a result of several processes. The potential impact of gas generation, accumulation and migration on the performances of the various barriers and, ultimately, on the long-term safety of a repository, should therefore be assessed in the development... more...
Geological Disposal of Radioactive Waste
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2000; US$ 51.00The concept of removing long-lived radioactive wastes from the human environment by disposal in deep geological repositories was developed several decades ago. In the intervening years, research efforts world-wide have increased our knowledge and understanding of how underground disposal systems will function over very long periods of time. Significant... more...
Porewater Extraction from Argillaceous Rocks for Geochemical Characterisation
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2000; US$ 102.00The definition of the chemical and isotopic composition of the groundwater present in argillaceous formations, which are considered as potential host rocks for radioactive waste disposal, is crucial for establishing their barrier properties. Therefore, a critical review of the relevant literature on the current methods applied to extract water and... more...
Features, Events and Processes (FEPs) for Geologic Disposal of Radioactive Waste
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2000; US$ 42.00Safety assessments of disposal sites for radioactive waste involve analyses of potential releases of radionuclides from the disposed waste and subsequent transport to the human environment. An important stage of assessment is the identification and documentation of all the features, events and processes (FEPs) that may be relevant to long-term safety.... more...
Nuclear Regulation Investing in Trust
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2001; US$ 100.00Good governance and efficiency in decision making by governmental authorities are increasingly dependent upon mutual trust and confidence between those authorities and the public. This workshop provided an opportunity to exchange information and views on how national nuclear regulatory organisations can improve their interface with the public. more...
Ancillary Benefits and Costs of Greenhouse Gas Mitigation
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2000; US$ 123.00Policies to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases also have impacts on other policy goals, especially health. In some cases, these ancillary effects may be more significant than the direct greenhouse gas reduction impacts. While these relationships are generally recognised, analysis of climate policies does not systematically include them in policy... more...
Sediments Contamination and Sustainable Remediation
CRC Press 2009; US$ 139.95Focuses on sediment management for the purpose of environmental cleanup or management. This book discusses the contamination of sediments resulting from discharge of pollutants, excessive nutrients, and other hazardous substances from anthropogenic activities. It examines impacts observed as a result of these discharges. more...
Carbon Capture and Storage
Elsevier Science 2009; US$ 160.00Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is a technology aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels during industrial and energy-related processes. CCS involves the capture, transport and long-term storage of carbon dioxide, usually in geological reservoirs deep underground that would otherwise be released to the atmosphere.... more...
Urban and Highway Stormwater Pollution
CRC Press 2010; US$ 119.95Focusing on pollutant reduction, abatement, and control, this book provides the necessary tools and methodologies to solve urban stormwater problems. It contains mathematical formulations for modeling the prediction of pollutant transport into both surface waters and soil systems. more...
