In Search of a Nuclear Waste Disposal Site
نویسنده
چکیده
The choice of a site for high and intermediate level nuclear waste product material disposal in Jordan requires careful consideration of hydrology, hydrogeology, geological materials, seismicity, climate and other geological factors. The purpose of this paper is to explore how these factors in Jordan may affect the ultimate decision on where to site such a facility. Taking these factors into consideration would ensure long-term safety of the environment. Using all of these criteria eliminates many choices, but it does not eliminate all of

A new developed model to determine waste dump site selection in open pit mines: An approach to minimize haul road construction cost
Today, during the life of an open pit mine, million tons of materials, including waste and ore, are displacing by truck fleets. In the case of a shallow ore deposit, which is located up to 300 meters to the ground surface, depending on preliminary equipment size and capacity, it will take three to five years to remove overburden and waste rocks to expose the ore body. In that period, the main w...

متن کاملDesigning Low Impact Wastewater Discharge from Solar Distillation Site to Sea
Dry areas near the sea can obtain fresh water through solar distillation of saline sea water resources. However, these solar distillation sites produce wastewater as a result of desalination of sea water with high salt concentration. Waste must be disposed of with the least effect on the receiving environment (sea, in most cases). Initial dilution and its characteristics play important roles in...
