Coden: MPSYD : Document Type: Journal Article Language: English Journal Announcement: EPA8405 Subfile: EPA (Energy Abstracts for Policy Analysis) . Country of Origin: United Kingdom ’ Abstract: Four Crossley-Pielstick PC2.2V diesel engines running on heavy fuel are not the sole source of power on Majuro Atoll, one of the Marshall Islands in the Pacific. The power station is rated at 12 MW and there is provision for future expansion. 7 figures.; Major Descriptors: *DIESEL ENGINES -- POWER GENERATION; *OCEANIA -- DIESEL ENGINES; *OCEANIA -- POWER PLANTS; *POWER PLANTS -- DESIGN Broader Terms: ENGINES; HEAT ENGINES; INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES Subject Categories: 200102* -- Fossil-Fueled Power Plants -- Power Cycles 296000 -- Energy Planning & Policy -- Electric Power 10/5/673 (Item 373 from file: 103) 01378638 ERA-09-025078; EDB-84-076433 Author(s): Noshkin, V.E.; Wong, K.M.; Jokela, R.J.

Quantities of /sup 239 +240/Pu and lesser amounts of /sup 241/Am are continuously mobilizing from these sedimentary reservoirs. The amount of /sup 239 +240/Pu mobilized to solution at any time represents 0.08 to 0.09% of the sediment inventories to a depth of 16 cm. The mobilized /sup 239 +240/Pu has solute-like characteristics and different valence states coexist in solution - the largest fraction of the soluble plutonium is in an oxidized form (+V,VI). The adsorption of plutonium to sediments is not completely reversible because of changes that occur in the relative amounts of the mixed oxidation states in solution with time. Further, any characteristics of /sup 239 +240/Pu described at one location may not necessarily be relevant in describing its behavior elsewhere following mobilization and migration. The relative amounts of /sup 241/Am to /sup 239 +240/Pu in the Major Descriptors: *BIKINI -- AMERICIUM 241; *BIKINI -- PLUTONIUM 239; *BIKINI -- PLUTONIUM 240; *ENIWETOK -- AMERICIUM 241; *ENIWETOK -PLUTONIUM 239; *ENIWETOK -- PLUTONIUM 240; *SEDIMENTS -- RADIONUCLIDE MIGRATION Descriptors: EXPERIMENTAL DATA; RADIOECOLOGICAL CONCENTRATION; SEAWATER; SOLUBILITY; VALENCE oo 50038 sedimentary deposits at Enewetak and Bikini may be altered in future years because of mobilization and radiological decay. Mobilization of /sup 239 +240/Pu is not a process unique to these atolls, and quantities in solution derived from sedimentary deposits can be found at other global sites. These studies in the equatorial Pacific have significance in assessing the long-term behavior of the transuranics in any marine environment. 22 references, 1 figure, 13 tables.;
