For years I have read that the diodes in a shooting CCL are there for safety purposes, though I must confess it never made much sense to me. I was talking to...
"Hello!" Let's say "you can" enrich uranium through a process of precipitation of uranium salt crystals. After all, "We have proven it in our lab!" Given a...
Those are exactly the kind of considerations that need to be taken into account. However, here's one more for you: How do NORM concentrations compare to...
This reminds me of the comment from an idiot regulator at a meeting a couple of decades back where he suggested producers could make big money selling the salt...
High grade ores are pretty dern hot. Most NORM is fairly benign in terms of activity. I would say the prospect of enriching NORM is pretty bleak. Remember...
Attached is an extreme example of what was interpreted as radioactive scale from deposition via water production in a well in Africa (Angola to be more...
I've seen high grade ores that are so hot that you can't work around them on normal shifts. Two places in particular, Slick Rock, Colorado (Sunday Mine) and...
It's interesting that people in and around Denver, Colorado receive greater Natural Extra-terrestrial Radiation Dose (NERD) an acronym I just made up - and...
Reflecting back on my early academic life and brief biology experience, I recall that plants absorb CO2 and generate Oxygen. Animals breathe in Oxygen and...
Heh, I like that acronym. ... From: Charles Merritt To: wireline@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 9:51 AM Subject: Re: [wireline] NORM & Rocky...
Chuck, Trying to reason with those following the Green religion is like arguing religion with a pig. You get no where and get frustrated and annoy the pig. ...
Gordon, Is the corn lobby in any way connected to increasing oil prices? Speaking of grain alcohol, last summer was hot and feeling unusually creative, I...
Chuck, The farm lobby is pressing for gasohol and bio diesel and ADM has a plant that makes fuel from corn. But they will trade it for subsidies when the chips...
Chuck, You have hit upon one of the limiting factors of terrestrial sequestration. The basic idea was that if plants use CO2 in exchange for O2 we need only to...
Even some of the environmental community now realizes nuclear power makes sense and is inevitably necessary. But that faction sure has stirred up a lot of...
I guess I do not have a good argument against sequestration, Brandon. But I do have one of those strong gut-level reactions that it is a waste of resources....
Brandon, My understanding is that the carbon retained in plant materials from Paleocene (65 million years) to Permian (225 - 280 million years) is where...
URTB is a cute little computer utility that gives all sorts of handy info especially useful to well loggers. I just listed it on my downloads page (look down...
Problem is that only a small portion of it gets retained in the fossil form you describe, I assume. Most gets released back to the atmosphere after the plant...
People still gotta eat. What are we gonna eat if the greenies get their way? Grass? Nuts and berries? Oh, wiat. I forgot. That IS what they want us to...
Syd, When you subject weeds, wood, organic material to heat i.e. burning, what's left over? They don't disappear! The black stuff is carbon. If a big sand...
Burl: Welcome to the group and thanks for URTB. It is great! Syd ... From: Burl Wylie To: Group Wireline Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 5:54 PM Subject:...
Hydrocarbons that are able to move will move to the point where they become trapped. Coal doesn't move but methane can move and according to the reasonably...
Chuck, You are correct. But, just as with any fossils, it is a matter of preservation. Most temperate forests are not in a setting that is conducive to...
I found an interesting case related to this topic. Between 1955 and 1967, approximately 592,288 pounds of uranium oxide was recovered from 85,138 tons of...
