A NEED EXISTS IN THE AREA OF HEALTH EFFECTS INSTRUMENTATION TO DEVELOP AN AUTOMATED SAMPLING SYSTEM THAT CAN RECORD THE DRY DEPOSITION OF FINE PARTICLES ( 2.5 ). THE RECENT SYMPOSIUM ON PRECIPITATION SCAVENGING, DRY DEPOSITION AND RESUSPENSION, PUBLISHED IN THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE, SANTA MONICA, CA NOV-DEC '82, HAS CLEARLY ELUCIDATED THREE POINTS: (1) THE PAUCITY OF ...

WE HAVE RECENTLY DEVELOPED AN INFRARED ABSORPTION OPTICAL HYGROMETER FOR USE IN THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE. IN THIS PROPOSED PHASE I EFFORT WE WILL NUMERICALLY AND EXPERIMENTALLY SHOW THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO ADAPT OUR EXISTING TECHNOLOGY TO MONITOR TRACE MOISTURE IN THE HIGH PRESSURE PRIMARY COOLANT LOOPS OF GAS-COOLED NUCLEAR REACTORS. POTENTIAL SENSOR ADVANTAGES INCLUDE FASTER RESPONSE, HIGHER SENSIT ...

LARGE VOLUMES OF OILS CONTAMINATED WITH RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS ARE GENERATED ROUTINELY AT LARGE FIXED NUCLEAR FACILITIES, ESPECIALLY NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS. THE OIL IS NOW USUALLY SOLIDIFIED AND DISPOSED OF AS RADIOACTIVE WASTE, WHICH IS CUMBERSOME AND EXPENSIVE. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WOULD PROVIDE THE DATA AND PROCESSES TO REDUCE THIS VOLUME THROUGH A RATIONAL THREE-PART PROGRAM: 1) PROCEDURES AND M ...
