Abstract. Black carbon aerosol (BC), which is emitted from natural and anthropogenic sources (e.g., wildfires, coal burning), can contribute to magnify climate warming at high latitudes by darkening snow- and ice-covered surfaces, and subsequently lowering their albedo. Therefore, modeling the atmospheric transport and deposition of BC to the Arctic is important, and historical archives of BC accumulation in polar ice can help to validate such modeling efforts. Here we present a > 250-year ice-core record of refractory BC (rBC) deposition on Devon ice cap, Canada, spanning the years from 1735 to 1992. This is the first such record ever developed from the Canadian Arctic. The estimated mean deposition flux of rBC on Devon ice cap for 1963–1990 is 0.2 mg m−2 a−1, which is at the low end of estimates from Greenland ice cores obtained using the same analytical method ( ∼ 0.1–4 mg m−2 a−1). The Devon ice cap rBC record also differs from the Greenland records in that it shows only a modest increase in rBC deposition during the 20th century. In the Greenland records a pronounced rise in rBC is observed from the 1880s to the 1910s, which is largely attributed to midlatitude coal burning emissions. The deposition of contaminants such as sulfate and lead increased on Devon ice cap in the 20th century but no concomitant rise in rBC is recorded in the ice. Part of the difference with Greenland could be due to local factors such as melt–freeze cycles on Devon ice cap that may limit the detection sensitivity of rBC analyses in melt-impacted core samples, and wind scouring of winter snow at the coring site. Air back-trajectory analyses also suggest that Devon ice cap receives BC from more distant North American and Eurasian sources than Greenland, and aerosol mixing and removal during long-range transport over the Arctic Ocean likely masks some of the specific BC source–receptor relationships. Findings from this study suggest that there could be a large variability in BC aerosol deposition across the Arctic region arising from different transport patterns. This variability needs to be accounted for when estimating the large-scale albedo lowering effect of BC deposition on Arctic snow/ice.

Full textAbstract:
A new Devonian fossil fish fauna from the region of Caño Colorado between the Rio Palmar and Rio Socuy, Sierra de Perijá, Venezuela, comes from two localities and several horizons within the Campo Chico Formation, dated on plants and spores as Givetian-Frasnian in age. Placoderms are most common, with the antiarch <i>Bothriolepis perija</i> n. sp., showing affinity with species from the Aztec fish fauna of Victoria Land, Antarctica. A second antiarch, <i>Venezuelepis mingui</i> n.g. n.sp., is also closely related to an Antarctic species, which is reassigned to this new genus. Fragmentary remains of a phyllolepid placoderm show similarity to the genus <i>Austrophyllolepis</i> from southeastern Australia. Chondrichthyan spines are provisionally referred to the Antarctilamnidae, and acanthodian remains include spines of the widespread taxon <i>Machaeracanthus</i>. Osteichthyans are represented by osteolepid and dipnoan scales and teeth, and scales lacking cosmine which may belong to another major taxon. This fauna has provided the first Devonian record from South America of three major fish groups: antiarch and phyllolepid placoderms, and dipnoans. These are widely distributed on most other continents. Although invertebrates and plants from the same sequence closely resemble those of eastern North America, the endemic elements in the fish fauna indicate Gondwana affinities. Phyllolepid placoderms are common in Givetian-Frasnian strata of Australia and Antarctica, but are only known from the Famennian in the Northern Hemisphere. The new phyllolepid occurrence extends their range across the northern margin of Palaeozoic Gondwana. The age and affinities of this new fish fauna are consistent with a model of biotic dispersal between Gondwana and Euramerica at or near the Frasnian-Famennian boundary. A narrow marine barrier separating northern and southern continental landmasses is indicated, in contrast to the wide equatorial ocean for the Late Devonian postulated from palaeomagnetic data. <br><br> Es wird eine neue devonische Fischfauna aus dem Gebiet zwischen Caño Colorado und Rio Socuy, Sierra de Perijá, beschrieben. Die Funde stammen aus zwei Lokalitäten und mehreren Horizonten innerhalb der Campo Chico Formation, die auf Grundlage von Untersuchungen der Pflanzen- und Sporenfunde dem Zeitabschnitt Givetium-Frasnium zugeordnet werden. Placodermen sind durch den Antiarchen <i>Bothriolepis perija</i> n. sp. häufig vertreten. Sie sind mit Arten der Aztec-Fischfauna von Viktoria Land, Antarktis, verwandt. Ein zweiter Antiarche, der <i>Venezuelepis mingui</i> n. g. n. sp. ist eng mit einer Spezies aus der Antarktis verwandt, die ebenfalls dieser neuen Gattung zugeschrieben wird. Fragmentarische Reste eines phyllolepiden Placodermen weisen Ähnlichkeiten mit der Gattung <i>Austrophyllolepis</i> aus dem Südosten Australiens auf. Wirbel eines Chondrichthyer werden vorläufig den Antarctilamnidae zugeschrieben. Acanthodir-Reste schließen das weitverbreitete Taxon <i>Machaeracanthus</i> ein. Osteichthyer sind durch Schuppen und Zähne osteolepider Sarcopterygier und Dipnoi vertreten. Andere Schuppen, denen die Cosminschicht fehlt, gehören vermutlich zu einem anderen Haupttaxon. Damit ist durch diese Fauna der erste Nachweis für das Vorkommen der drei Hauptfischgruppen Antiarchi, phyllolepide Placodermi und Dipnoi im Devon Südamerikas erbracht. Sie sind auch auf den meisten anderen Kontinenten weit verbreitet. Obwohl Invertebraten und Pflanzen aus derselben Zeit sehr denen aus dem Osten Nordamerikas ähneln, weisen die endemischen Elemente in der Fischfauna auf eine Affinität zu Gondwana hin. Phyllolepide Placodermen sind im Givetium-Frasnianium Australiens verbreitet, aber erst aus dem Famennium in der Nordhemisphere bekannt. Das Auftreten eines neuen Phyllolepiden weitet den Vorkommensbereich über die nördliche Linie des paläozoischen Gondwanas hinaus aus. Alter und Verwandtschaftsbeziehungen dieser neuen Fischfauna stimmen mit dem Modell der biotischen Verbreitung zwischen Gondwana und Euramerika an bzw. nah an der Frasnium-Famennium-Grenze überein. Es gibt Hinweise für eine die nördlichen und südlichen Landmassen trennende schmale Meerenge. Dies steht im Gegensatz zur Annahme eines weiten äquatorialen Ozeans im späten Devons, die sich auf palaeomagnetische Daten stützt. <br><br> doi:<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/mmng.20020050111" target="_blank">10.1002/mmng.20020050111</a>

Full textAbstract:
Devon Energy considers its development of a new completions technology called Sealed Wellbore Pressure Monitoring (SWPM) to be one of the shale sector’s biggest breakthroughs in subsurface engineering. The approach to fracturing diagnostics represents a class of next-generation tools designed to make on-the-fly stimulation designs more practical than ever. But the innovation has done something else, too. It has raised old questions within a relatively new sector about the role of intellectual property (IP) protection. When SWPM was introduced to petrotechnicals outside of Devon, some initially questioned how or why the technique needed to be patented at all. The ingenuity behind SWPM could be boiled down to solving a math problem: How much fluid is pumped during the hydraulic fracturing treatment of one well before it travels across a known distance and applies pressure to the unperforated casing of a neighboring shut-in well? The ability to answer this question rapidly and with surety holds great value for any developer of multiwell pads. But, as some wondered, was this simply a formula that could be repeated and used as freely as a decade’s old equation found in a textbook? Was Devon being too protective over its discovery? Or was it simply being prudent? Earlier this year, Devon was granted a US patent for SWPM, the end of a process that began on a well pad in 2017. In the meantime, the company shared rights with other operators for field trials before striking a deal last summer with software developer Well Data Labs to market SWPM to the rest of the unconventional business. The drivers behind Devon’s IP strategy, what it learned while patenting SWPM, and what it hopes others in this space will take away from that experience are shared here by Chad Holeman, corporate counsel at Devon, and Kyle Haustveit, a co-inventor of SWPM and a subsurface engineering manager at Devon. JPT: Can you begin by explaining your philosophy around IP protection and how SWPM reflects that? Chad Holeman (CH): We talk about confidential and proprietary information with some degree of frequency. As an organization, I think that we’re further along on the spectrum of maturation as it relates to understanding what that means and safeguarding that information to the very best of our ability. One key is that you need to be able to differentiate trade secrets, or confidential proprietary information that you want to keep close to the vest, from the inventive concepts that you want to protect and can also commercialize, potentially monetize, or gain some other type of competitive advantage from. Inventive concepts such as SWPM fit that mold. Kyle Haustveit (KH): I think the concept of leaving value on the table is one of the biggest reasons we do this. A lot of operators have made massive investments into the digital revolution and multimillion-dollar investments into diagnostic programs to understand how we are breaking and draining the rock with our stimulations. Through all that have come a lot of new ideas.

Full textAbstract:
There exists an important class of materials, e.g., debris, volcanic lava, sludges, and remoulded sensitive clays, that are known to behave like a Bingham fluid. One of the important properties of a Bingham fluid is the so-called yield stress, and it is usually determined using a coaxial viscometer apparatus. It would be impractical and cumbersome to use this apparatus for many of the materials referred to earlier, and we propose here to examine the use of the slump test. The slump test is used in the concrete industry to evaluate workability and consistency. A statical model is developed to explain the deformation mechanism, and it permits the determination of yield stress. The validity of the statical model is verified using published data on mortar and our own data on Devon silt. The yield stress obtained with the slump test is also compared with the undrained shear strength obtained using the fall cone test. Good agreement is found between the two values. Key words: Bingham fluid, yield stress, slump test, Devon silt.

Decon is short for decontamination (e.g. stripdown and washdown in response to anthrax scares, etc.), but the term “decon” is also a short form for “deconstruction” (literary criticism asserting multiple conflicting interpretations of philosophical, political or social implications rather than an author's intention). The author describes an anthrax ready mailroom exhibit that included mass casualty decontamination showers, which he built in the summer of 2001, based on a patent he filed in April 2000, to deconstruct the coming “war on terrorism” and the suspension of civil liberties and personal privacy that might follow in the wake of bioterror attacks.

ABSTRACT The concept of an ENVIRONMENT GROUP (EG) was introduced into the UK maritime incident response process shortly after the SEA EMPRESS incident. The Groups role is to provide public health and environmental advice to all response units. The NAPOLI incident presented responders with a highly complex matrix of issues concerned with major salvage, oil pollution at sea and onshore, potential for HNS into the sea and subsequent concerns for environment and public health. Two response cells were set up:- a Salvage Control Unit for all salvage activity and a Marine Response Cell to respond to all pollution at sea. Unusually for a UK incident the response to oil and cargo ashore was dealt with by contractors engaged by the insurers. The NAPOLI EG was set up immediately the container vessel was in difficulties, chaired by a UK Environment Agency officer. The Group was immediately tasked with evaluating the likely impact of a series of possible scenarios involving oil and/or cargo loss. The key to successful management of environmental considerations was the communications network set up between the response cells at Portland Coastguard, the operational EG and the specialist scientists and technicians in UK government departments/agencies. Whilst the EG individual members have specific responsibilities associated with their parent bodies regulatory status, the Groups remit is to present one voice to the response cells when consulted on any issue. That process can be challenging when meeting short timelines. Advice taskings were essentially split between immediate environmental consultations e.g use of dispersants in the event of a spill, and discrete “project” risk evaluations and monitoring protocols e.g. modeling of releases of specific cargo and development of risk assessments and worst case scenarios. Project work was typically carried out by people away from the operations centre thus freeing up the operational EG to concentrate on live issues on a day by day basis. The operational EG maintained regular conference calls with UK government specialists to discuss the need for, the modus operandi and the progress and outcomes of environmental monitoring.

Author's note: A few years ago, I read David Johnson's Spectacle and Sacrifice: The Ritual Foundations of Village Life in North China.1 The book immediately caught my attention because it dealt with parts of China that I know well: southern Hebei and eastern Shanxi provinces, where I was conducting research for a new book. Johnson describes festivals that helped bind together communities, and in several cases had information showing that some of them had been revived after the Cultural Revolution.One, particularly, seemed noteworthy: Guyi Village in the south of Hebei Province. This is near the steel-making city of Handan and one of the most polluted parts of China. I had been there several times and was fascinated with the idea that this area could also be home to elaborate, multi-day rituals that seemed otherwise not to exist in North China. According to Johnson's informants, local scholars had visited the village in the 1990s and seen exciting performances of Zhuo Huanggui, or Chasing the Yellow Demon, an exorcistic purging ritual performed at the end of the fifteen-day Chinese New Year's festival. I contacted local officials and academics, who were unsure if the ritual would be performed again. No one, it seemed, had been out to the village in years. So in mid-February 2014, I set off to see if anything was left of these complex performances.2

AbstractThe paper is based on problems found in a large ‘farm animal’ practice in Devon, in which the author is largely committed to the sheep work. There are some 80 000 sheep in the area, and some 1·5 million in the county of Devon which are kept under varying conditions from the high areas of Dartmoor to the very intensive flocks on permanent grass on heavy soils. A brief look is made at the effects of health research over the last 50 years in the context of present problems and/or barriers to future efficiency. Also present production problems are examined, in particular those relating to coccidiosis and ‘ill thrift’. The problems of the field application of modern technology are considered in the areas of: (1) manipulation of the breeding season, in an attempt to even out the production curve, using sponges, PMS and melatonin and teaser rams; (2) manipulation of prolificacy, using fecundin and prolific hybrids; and (3) genetic manipulation/improvement, using Meat and Livestock Commission backfat/eye muscle recording schemes, sire referencing, AI and MOET.A scheme for the best utilization of veterinary surgeon/farmer relationship is outlined and mention is made as to the future direction of the industry as seen from the ‘sharp end’.

Full textAbstract:
Two densely sampled marine refraction lines were shot in northern Baffin Bay on the shelves of Devon and Ellesmere islands (North American plate) and Greenland (Greenland plate). A total of 11 ocean-bottom seismometers recorded the airgun signals. The processed data were analyzed by the use of ray tracing and amplitude modelling. Two-dimensional models were derived that reproduce the characteristics of the observed data. A 5 km deep sedimentary basin was identified on the south end of line 3. On both lines the crustal velocity has a range of 5.7–6.6 km/s. Midway along the line on the shelf of Devon and Ellesmere islands, the Moho shallows abruptly northward from 27 to 20 km. The thinned crust is not overlain by a sedimentary basin to compensate for the elevated Moho, suggesting this is not an extensional feature. The thickness of the crust adjacent to northwest Greenland increases from south (22 km) to north (37 km). The thickening occurs in two stages: a sharp increase in the depth to Moho northwest of the sedimentary basin followed by a gradual deepening to the end of the line. The thin crust on the shelf of Ellesmere Island is located adjacent to the thick crust of Greenland. Plate reconstructions based on regional magnetic anomalies and transform faults indicate that Greenland is a separate plate. The crustal structure revealed by seismic refraction and reflection profiles and the variations in the depth to Moho are consistent with the plate boundary occurring between the refraction lines.

The problem of the repeated parts of organisms was at the center of the biological sciences as early as the first decades of the 19th century. Some concepts and theories (e.g., serial homology, unity of plan, or colonial theory) introduced in order to explain the similarity as well as the differences between the repeated structures of an organism were reused throughout the 19th and the 20th century, in spite of the fundamental changes during this long period that saw the diffusion of the evolutionary theory, the rise of experimental approaches, and the emergence of new fields and disciplines. Interestingly, this conceptual heritage was at the core of any attempt to unify the problems of inheritance, development, and evolution, in particular in the last decades, with the rise of “evo-devo.” This chapter examines the conditions of this theoretical continuity and the challenges it brings out for the current evolutionary sciences.

Les vaccins sauvent entre 2 et 3 millions de vies chaque année et protègent l’ensemble de la population contre plus d’une douzaine de maladies potentiellement mortelles. Grâce à la vaccination, la variole a été éradiquée en 1980 et nous sommes sur la bonne voie pour éradiquer la polio. Cependant, malgré de grands progrès dans la lutte contre la rougeole, l’une des maladies les plus contagieuses connues, une augmentation des cas a été malheureusement observée ces dernières années. Raison pour laquelle une couverture vaccinale élevée (95 % ou plus) est nécessaire en dépit du défi technique et de communication majeur que cette couverture pose au personnel de santé. Des études montrent que le fait d’informer les personnes sur la qualité, la sécurité, l’efficacité et la disponibilité des vaccins ne suffit pas à modifier les comportements en matière de vaccination et, en général, n’augmente pas la couverture vaccinale. Pour cette raison, nous devons comprendre les raisons pour lesquelles les personnes choisissent de ne pas se faire vacciner ou de ne pas faire vacciner leurs enfants, afin d’entamer un dialogue respectueux à l’aide de messages le mieux adaptés et les plus efficaces. Dans ce contexte, le principal objectif de ces lignes directrices est de fournir des outils au personnel qui travaille dans le domaine de la vaccination afin de favoriser une communication efficace entre le personnel de santé et la population, de manière à renforcer, maintenir ou rétablir la confiance dans les vaccins et les programmes de vaccination dans la Région des Amériques.

There are not many books by Agamben in which Plato does not figure. In The Man Without Content (MC 52–64), Agamben discusses the Platonic discrepancy between politics and poetry; in Stanzas, he examines Plato’s conceptions of love (S 115–21) and phantasm (S 73–5); in Infancy and History (IH 73), Agamben takes up Plato’s concept of time (aion and chronos), while in The End of the Poem (EP 17) he examines Plato’s criticism of tragedy. In Language and Death (LD 91–2), he gives an account of Socrates’ ‘demon’ and Plato’s Idea (eidos) – though he investigates the latter more thoroughly in Potentialities (PO 27–38), in which he also briefly touches upon Plato’s doctrine of matter (khôra) (PO 218). In Idea of Prose (IP 120–3) and The ComingCommunity (CC 76–7), it is the Platonic Idea again that is under scrutiny, albeit more implicitly than in Potentialities. In Homo Sacer (HS 33–5), Agamben offers an interpretation of Plato’s treatment of Pindar’s nomos basileus fragment and the sophistic opposition between nomos and physis, whereas in The Sacrament of Language (SL 29) he touches on Plato’s critique of oath. In The Signature of All Things (ST 22–6), Agamben gives an account of Plato’s ‘paradigmatic’ method, while in Stasis (STA 5–12) we find an analysis of Plato’s conception of civil war (stasis).

Full textAbstract:
This chapter shows how, in the nineteenth-century discourse of provintsiia, Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin and Fyodor Sologub act as end points. They evoke what one might call a “terminal provinciality.” At the same time, their texts point forward to how the provinces trope will make itself felt in the twentieth century. Shchedrin's The Golovlyov Family and Sologub's Petty Demon are separated in time by approximately two decades (The Golovlyov Family was serialized between 1875 and 1880; Petty Demon came out between 1892 and 1902); Shchedrin's text is set on an estate, Sologub's in an unnamed provincial town. But both these settings seem to be the end of the line—places where narrative itself is so congealed in a mire of sticky provintsial 'nost' that forward movement has become virtually impossible.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract A breakthrough patent-pending pressure diagnostic technique using offset sealed wellbores as monitoring sources was introduced at the 2020 Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference. This technique quantifies various hydraulic fracture parameters using only a surface gauge mounted on the sealed wellbore(s). The initial concept, operational processes, and analysis techniques were developed and deployed by Devon Energy. By scaling and automating the process, Sealed Wellbore Pressure Monitoring (SWPM) is now available to the industry as a repeatable workflow that greatly reduces analysis time and improves visualizations to aid data interpretations. The authors successfully automated the SWPM analysis procedure using a cloud-based software platform designed to ingest, process, and analyze high-frequency hydraulic fracturing data. The minimum data for the analysis consists of the standard frac treatment data combined with the high-resolution pressure gauge data for each sealed wellbore. The team developed machine learning algorithms to identify the key events required by a sealed wellbore pressure analysis: the start, end, and magnitude of each pressure response detected in the sealed wellbore(s) while actively fracturing offset wells. The result is a rapid, repeatable SWPM analysis that minimizes individual interpretation biases. The primary deliverables from SWPM analyses are the Volumes to First Response (VFR) on a per stage basis. In many projects, multiple pressure responses within a single stage have been observed, which provides valuable insight into fracture network complexity and cluster/stage efficiency. Various methods are used to visualize and statistically analyze the data. A scalable process facilitates creating a statistical database for comparing completion designs that can be segmented by play, formation, or other geological variations. Completion designs can then be optimized based upon the observed well responses. With enough observations and based on certain spacings, probabilities of when to expect fracture interactions could be assigned for different plays.

Desde una perspectiva comparatista arquitectura-literatura-pintura y Francia-Inglaterra, hemos abordado la imagen del agua en el «jardín inglés», de moda en el siglo XVIII en la literatura libertina y sentimental, y la pintura llamada «galante» y «pre-romántica» francesas (La Petite Maison de Jean-François Bastide, La Nouvelle Héloïse, de Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Les Liaisons dangereuses de Choderlos de Laclos, Point de Lendemain de Vivant Denon; lienzos y dibujos de Watteau, Boucher, Fragonard, Hubert Robert), repertoriando sus representaciones más emblemáticas, a partir de los tratados arquitectónicos sobre jardines de la época, y su trasposición ficcional e imaginaria en las obras de los escritores y pintores anteriormente indicados. Dicha trasposición se presenta en oposición al agua dentro del jardín «a la francesa», inmóvil, estanca, dominada por la mano del hombre, encerrada en estanques, lagos artificiales perfectamente simétricos y artificialmente armónicos, y fuentes-construcción arquitectónica. En efecto, en el jardín inglés, el agua se representa bajo todas sus formas naturales, libre, fluyente, brava, viva, naciente, desembocando, fuera de todo encierro arquitectónico, al menos en apariencia. Ello nos lleva a la conclusión de que el elemento acuático, si bien cohabita con los otros tres elementos esenciales que en la visión clásica componen el universo, adquiere una importancia primordial en el panorama paisajístico europeo, inglés pero también francés por influencia británica, y su representación imaginaria, y ello de manera paradójica en una época donde triunfa la razón en el pensamiento, pero donde fluye de manera libre un imaginario fresco y cambiante. Se expondrán planos de los jardines ingleses en Francia más representativos de la época y realizados por los arquitectos más notables, así como las obras de los pintores citados anteriormente donde aparecen representaciones de jardines ingleses, que se presentarán en contraste a jardines franceses que coexistieron en el siglo de las Luces con los estudiados.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/XXVColloqueAFUE.2016.2619

La Méditerranée, « mer blanche » ou mare nostrum, constitue, au regard de l’héritage culturel et des valeurs qu’elle a légués et des liens tissés avec ses habitants, un thème d’étude littéraire au grand potentiel pédagogique, un authentique trésor que nous nous devons d’exploiter en classe de FLE ou de FLM. Nous proposerons au travers de cette communication une nouvelle approche qui permette l’étude de la littérature par projets (unités d’action) comme préconise le CECRL et les programmes d’éducation secondaire européens en prenant comme exemple le motif de la Méditerranée. Il s’agit là de tâcher de couvrir le vide méthodologique sur le sujet signalé par plusieurs didacticiens du FLE. Évidemment, notre proposition didactique n’élude pas tous les travaux réalisés jusque là en didactique de la littérature mais essaie d’adapter la perspective actionnelle à l’étude de la littérature. L’objectif du projet peut revêtir plusieurs formes mais doit, selon nous, provenir d’un métier du monde littéraire (auteur, éditeur, conférencier, etc.) pour que la classe réalise une action qui soit le plus proche possible de celle de l’acteur réel. Avec un accent constructiviste, une approche comparatiste et une logique de contagion, cette méthodologie d’étude de la littérature par projets s’organise en huit phases bien définies que nous expliciterons dans notre présentation. Cette approche nécessite des enseignants compétents et expérimentés, capables de gérer et de « jongler » entre théorie et pratique et de concilier rigidité et flexibilité et savoir anticiper. Même si les élèves travaillent en autonomie et en liberté, certains contenus doivent être abordés. Les étudiants moins motivés ou un peu désorientés pourront être conseillés par le professeur qui leur suggérera des motifs comme la sirène, le dionysiaque, l’olivier, le soleil, la figure matriarcale, etc. L’objectif pédagogique de cette séquence est d’étayer ou infirmer l’affirmation d’Edgard Morin selon laquelle la méditerranée correspond à une « réalité poétique et mythologique » ou celle de Paul Valéry pour qui « la Méditerranée est une machine à faire de la civilisation ».DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/XXVColloqueAFUE.2016.2972

The presence of iron (iron oxide from carbon steel piping) buildup in Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) circuits and wastewaters is decades old. In, perhaps the last decade, the advent of precoatless filters for condensate blow down has compounded this problem due to the lack of a solid substrate (e.g., powdex resin pre-coat) to help drop the iron out of solution. The presence and buildup of this iron in condensate phase separators (CPS) further confounds the problem when the tank is decanted back to the plant. Iron carryover here is unavoidable without further treatment steps. The form of iron in these tanks, which partially settles and is pumped to a de-waterable high integrity container (HIC), is particularly difficult and time consuming to dewater (low shear strength, high water content). The addition upstream from the condensate phase separator (CPS) of chemicals, such as polymers, to carry out the iron, only produces an iron form even more difficult to filter and dewater (even less shear strength, higher water content, and a gel/slime consistency). Typical, untreated colloidal material contains both sub-micron particles up to, let’s say 100 micron. It is believed that the sub-micron particles penetrate filters, or sheet filters, thus plugging the pores for what should have been the successful filtration of the larger micron particles. Like BWR iron wastewaters, fuel pools/storage basins (especially in the decon. phase) often contain colloids which make clarity and the resulting visibility nearly impossible. Likewise, miscellaneous, often high conductivity, wastesteams at various plants contain such colloids, iron, salts (sometimes seawater intrusion and referred to as Salt Water Collection Tanks), dirt/clay, surfactants, waxes, chelants, etc. Such wastestreams are not ideally suited for standard dead-end (cartridges) or cross-flow filtration (UF/RO) followed even by demineralizers. Filter and bed plugging are almost assured. The key to solving these dilemmas is 1) to break the colloid (i.e., break the outer radius repulsive charges of the similar charged colloidal particles), 2) allow these particles to now flocculate (floc), and 3) form a type of floc that is more readily filterable, and, thus, dewaterable. This task has been carried out with the innovative application of electronically seeding the feed stream with the metal of choice, and without the addition of chemicals common to ferri-floccing, or polymer addition. This patent-pending new system and technique is called Seeding And Filtration Electronically, or the SAFE™ System. Once the colloid has been broken and flocking has begun, removal of the resultant floc can be carried out by standard, backwashable (or, in simple cases, dead-end) filters; or simply in dewaterable HICs or liners. Such applications include low level radwaste (LLW) from both PWRs and BWRs, fuel pools, storage basins, salt water collection tanks, etc. For the removal of magnetic materials, such as some BWR irons, an ElectroMagnetic Filter (EMF) was developed to couple with the ElectroCoagulation (EC), (or metal-Floccing) Unit. In the advent that the wastestream primarily contains magnetic materials (e.g., boiler condensates and magnetite, and hemagnetite from BWRs), the material was simply filtered using the EMF. Bench-, pilot- and full-scale systems have been assembled and applied on actual plant waste samples quite successfully. The effects of initial feed pH and conductivity, as well as flocculation retention times was examined prior to applying the production equipment into the field. Since the initial studies (Denton, et al, EPRI, 2006), the ultimate success of field applications is now being demonstrated as the next development phase. For such portable field demonstrations and demand systems, a fully self enclosed (secondary containment) EC system was first developed and assembled in a modified B 25 Box (Floc-In-A-Box) and is being deployed to a number of NPP sites. Finally, a full-scale SAFE™ System has been deployed to Exelon’s Dresden NPP as a vault cleanup demand system. This is a 30 gpm EC system to convert vault solids/sludges to a form capable of being collected and dewatered in a High Integrity Container (HIC). This initial vault work will be on-going for approximately three months, before being moved to additional vaults. During the past year, additional refinements to the patent pending SAFE™ System have included the SAFER™ System (Scalant and Foulant Electronic Removal) for the removal by EC of silica, calcium and magnesium. This has proven to be an effective enabler for RO, NF and UF as a pretreatment system. Advantages here include smaller, more efficiently designed systems and allowed lower removal efficiencies with the removal of the limiting factor of scalants. Similarly, the SAFE™ System has been applied in the form of a BAC-UP™ System (Boric Acid Clean-Up) as an alternative to more complex RO or boric acid recycle systems. Lastly, samples were received from two different DOE sites for the removal of totally soluable, TDS, species (e.g., cesium, Cs, Sr, Tc, etc.). For these applications, an ion-specific seed (an element of the SMART™ System) was coupled with the Cs prior to EC and subsequent filtration and dewatering, for the effective removal of the cesium complex and the segregation of low level and high waste (LLW & HLW) streams.
