Geology and Geologic Hazards of Tooele Valley and the West Desert Hazardous Industry Area, Tooele County, Utah by Bill D. Black,Barry J. Solomon,Kimm M. Harty Pdf

The petrographic database consists of 705 maceral analyses, reflectance measurements, and density and porosity determinations from Utah coal samples. These data were collected by the Utah Geological Survey from 1982 to 1995. Samples were collected from seven of Utah's 22 coal fields. Coal fields sampled are the Book Cliffs (182 samples), Wasatch Plateau (262 samples), Emery (41 samples), Sego (27 samples), Henry Mountains (173 samples), Kaiparowits Plateau (12 samples), and Coalville (four samples). The data are sorted by coal-field names; within each field the analyses are arranged alphabetically by coal-bed name to facilitate comparison. The aim of the database is to provide the industry with information on petrographic properties of Utah coals. In addition, it should help the coal operators and purchasers to determine the best uses for Utah coals.

Radon-hazard Potential of the Lower Weber River Area, Tooele Valley, and Southeastern Cache Valley, Cache, Davis, Tooele, and Weber Counties, Utah by Bill D. Black,Barry J. Solomon Pdf

Radon is a radioactive gas of geologic origin that is an environmental concern because of its link to lung cancer. Radon is derived from the decay of uranium, and can accumulate indoors in sufficient quantities to pose a health hazard to building occupants. Although the influence of non-geologic factors such as construction type, lifestyle, and weather is difficult to measure, geologic factors that influence indoor-radon levels can be quantified to assess the hazard potential. Geologic factors that influence indoor-radon levels have been studied for three areas in northern Utah to indicate where indoor radon may be a hazard and radon-resistant techniques should be considered in new construction. The three areas include the lower Weber River area in Davis and Weber Counties, Tooele Valley in Tooele County, and southeastern Cache Valley in Cache County. These areas all lie in the depositional basin of Pleistocene Lake Bonneville, and display common geologic characteristics which affect their potential for radon hazards. A numerical rating system was used to assess and map the relative radon-hazard potential in the three study areas. A high-hazard potential was typically found along range fronts where uranium concentrations are higher, ground water is deep, and soils are permeable. Although soil-gas and indoor-radon concentrations broadly correlate to mapped hazard potential, the correlation is imperfect because of atmospheric contamination of soil-gas samples, the presence of locally anomalous concentrations of radon which are beyond the resolution of the sampling grid or map scale, and the effects of non-geologic factors which are not considered in this geologic assessment. 56 pages + 1 plate

Geomorphology and Natural Hazards by M. Morisawa Pdf

The theme of this proceedings volume is the latest research on geomorphic characteristics and processes associated with natural hazards. Presentations cover a gamut of types of disasters throughout the world, describing research and applications of studies in the U.S. and other countries. The book begins with a collection of papers giving a basic background and philosophy of approaching an understanding of natural disasters. These are followed by papers on natural hazards in coastal areas, mountainous regions, landslides, flooding and the detrimental effects of permafrost. The book should prove valuable in gaining an insight of natural hazards and their geomorphic relations, which is imperative for prudent environmental planning in coping with disasters.

The Oquirrh Fault Zone, Tooele County, Utah by William R. Lund Pdf

The two reports in this Special Study provide critical geologic and paleoseismic information on the Oquirrh fault zone, a Quaternary fault in eastern Tooele County, west-central Utah. The Oquirrh fault zone has long been recognized as a potential source of large earthquakes which could affect military and hazardous waste facilities, nearby towns, and populous areas of the more distant central Wasatch Front. 64 pages + 2 plates

Radioactive Waste Management In The 21st Century by William R Roy Pdf

The safe management of radioactive wastes is of paramount importance in gaining both governmental and societal support for nuclear energy. The scope of this new textbook is to provide a comprehensive perspective on all types of radioactive wastes as to how they are created, classified, characterized, and disposed.Written to emphasize how geology and radionuclide chemistry impact waste management, this book is primarily designed for engineers who have little background in geology with low-level wastes, decommissioning wastes, high-level wastes and spent nuclear fuel.This textbook provides the most up-to-date information available on waste management in several countries. The content of this work includes transporting radioactive materials to disposal facilities. The textbook cites numerous case studies to illustrate past practices, current methodologies and to provide insights on how radioactive wastes may be managed in the future. An international perspective on waste management is also provided to help the readers better understand the diversity in approaches while highlighting what many countries have in common. Review questions for classroom use are provided at the end of each chapter.Related Link(s)
