Combustible Gases

Packages for intermediate level waste (ILW) often contain residual water besides the actual waste. The water either exists as obvious free water or it may be bound physically or chemically, e.g. as pore water. A water driven gas generation could occur by vaporisation and by radiolysis. Steam as the result of vaporisation causes an increasing pressure inside a package and can affect corrosion. Vaporisation and condensation processes itself change the thermal behavior of the content especially during strongly unsteady thermal situations like accident fire situations. Radiolysis changes the chemical composition of the content which could cause an unexpected interaction, e.g. hydrogen embrittlement. Besides the pressure build-up the radiolysis of water generates hydrogen and oxygen, which can be highly flammable respectively explosive. The gas generation caused by vaporisation and radiolysis must be taken into account during the design and the safety assessment of a package. Pressure build-up, a changed thermal behavior and content chemistry, and especially the risk of accumulation of combustible gases exceeding the limiting concentration for flammability has to be considered in the safety assessment. Approaches to ensure the transportability of stored packages due to radiolysis will be discussed.

Sea Area

About the beginning of this year I was requested by a sub-committee of the Government Grant Committee* to determine some of the components of a series of samples of sea water, which were to be collected during the year at various parts and at different times in the Clyde sea area by the observers of the Scottish Marine Station. The collections were chiefly made under the immediate direction of Dr H. E. Mill. Since January, accordingly, I have been working at this, and have completed in all eighty-nine analyses, the results of which I now take the liberty of placing before this Society. There are various reasons why this paper should consist of little more than tables of results, one of which is that, having little or no experience in the science of oceanography, it would be presumptuous in me to draw conclusions from my results which would no doubt strike any one acquainted with that science at once. Another reason is that, though acquainted with some of the physical conditions under which the samples were taken, such as depth, temperature, place of collection, and date, I am quite ignorant of other conditions quite as important, if not more so, in my estimation, as, for instance, presence or absence of some freshwater stream near place of collection, state of tide, raiafall, 'c,—all conditions which would no doubt influence more or less materially the salinity of the water.

A comparison was made of the weights, lengths, weight–length relations, and chemical composition in migrating chum and sockeye fry resulting from eggs incubated and hatched in natural and artificial streams. Additionally, growth rates and rates of change in some chemical constituents were investigated in postmigrant channel- and river-hatched chum salmon confined to floating pens in sea water and in postmigrant sockeye salmon captured from their lake nursery area.There were no apparent differences in the lengths, weights, weight–length relations, or chemical composition between river- and channel-hatched chum salmon migrants. Nor was there any difference in the rates of change in length, weight, or chemical composition of these two groups of chums when confined to pens in sea water for 10 weeks after migration.There were differences in the weight–length relations, lipid content, and nitrogen content between channel- and river-hatched sockeye migrants. It is suggested, however, that these differences are due to the fact that the timing of the peaks of migration of these two groups of fish differed and that at any one time channel fry were physiologically different from river fry.Growth of the chum salmon in sea water and the sockeye in the lake was exponential and the slope of the weight–length relation, W = aLb, was approximately 3.25. During this growth period although total weight, moisture, solids, lipid, and nitrogen increased the rate of increase in moisture was less than the rates of increase in total weight or the other constituents.

A new hypothesis that contributes to the formation of cold sludge volcanoes and fluid outlets in tectonic seabed & terrestrial regions; with its helpful interpretation for time fracture sequence of fault segments.

<p>During the co-seismic development of a fault in lithological environments, regions containing cavities may form momentarily or permanently. In the tectonic shift zones, these pressure gaps lead to the formation of irregular new intermediate sediment zones, as infiltrate in to the gap, if the pressure perturbations are large. The semi-fluid sediment material and sea water enter through opening fault sector's surrounding sediments at the far place from dispersing fault energy burst. But pore water infiltration is independent about place of vomited energy burst. In some cases hard material which detached from fault wall or top sediment material, provide isolation lids, as obstacling on 'cell type empty interlaying gaps' at tectonic line. They can collapse again or stay as gap form for a long time with suction force after seismic activities by effects of gravitation or pressure perturbations. For durable gaps, pore water is capable to infiltrate in to the gap with long lasting suction forces.  In these regions, in contrast to gravitational folding or collapse structures, the partial sediment sequence may be drawn and folded into the area of the material with different or close lithological density value. Deformational variety of the displaced materials are related with physical properties of seismic event at opening sector such as friction, displacement parameters (velocity, time), dimensional parameters of gap, and water depth.  The main objective of the paper is to figure out all interference mechanisms about these zones (created by pressure perturbations), which develop rapidly during earthquake fractures (or in some cases fractures generated by impulsive pressure changes such as those created by volcanoes). Fracture of fault segments forms a complex mechanical system associated with bedrock, upper sedimentary sequence, and aquatic environment, depending on the location where they occur, even the atmosphere. Therefore, the displacement may be bi-directional to the lower slit or upward from the seabed during the opening or closing stages of the cavity, depending on the nature with variations of the atmosphere & water-sediment mixture. The strong (pulling or impulsive) pressure perturbation effect associated with permanent cavities caused by rapid breakage pulls the material that may form a sludge volcano or water outlet under deformation and brings the environment to near pressure equilibrium. This simple explanation can help to find real additional effective reason for the different formations of assumed collapse or folding structures created by gravitational movements in geology. The hypothesis after main objective at above mentioned in this article is based on the fact that the emergence of  escapes as squeezed fluid form  of water & sediment from compacted secondary irregularities in the previously broken fault segment will help to understand the next seismic mobility in other tectonic segments by identifying source depth cues through physical and chemical analysis. Geophysical instrumentation and applications are still need further developments of compact reflection line information, because the vertical thin anomalies mentioned in this paper are the most difficult structures for detection.</p>
