Highlights from Los Alamos

WBS 1.2.3.2.1.1.1 (Mineralogy/Petrology)

D. Vaniman visited the Sample Management Facility on 2/23-2/24 to describe portions of drillcore UE-25 UZ-16 for sampling. The samples will be used for two studies important to themineralogy of transport pathways: (1) systematic samples at spacings less than 20 ft. will beused to define vertical variations in mineralogy, and (2) distributed bulk samples of the lowerTopopah Spring Member and of the tuff of Calico Hills will be used to concentrate traceminerals for sorption studies. In contrast to previous sampling of other drill cures for XRDmineralogy, sample spacing for new core is closer and is particularly focused on the criticalbarriers between the welded Tiva and Topopah units and between the potential repositoryhorizon and the water table. About half of UZ-16 was described; the remainder will bedescribed for sampling after drilling is completed.

D. Vaniman continued to work on the review of the Erosion topical report.

B. Carlos examined fractures in core from UE-25 UZ-16 at the SMF and selected samples forfurther analysis.

D. Bish S. Chipera, and G. Guthrie continued to prepare the LAMS report on the distributionof hazardous minerals at Yucca Mountain (Milestone 3352),R. Raymond and G. Guthriecollected several dust samples in the vicinity of UZ-16 in order to assess the background levelsof dust and the changes to the background that may have resulted from operations at UZ-16.Arrangements were also made to have air-filter samples collected by D. Chapman of SAIC.

G. Guthrie responded to inquiries by TRW about the potential hazards associated withmordenite at Yucca Mountain . The TRW data banks suggested that mordenite wascarcinogenic. However, Guthrie prepared a memo discussing the available data on mordenite,none of which indicate that the mineral is carcinogenic.

WBS 1.2.3.2.1.1.2 (Mineralogic and Geochemical Alteration)

D. Bish and S. Levy attended a workshop to discuss thermal loading concerns with LLNLpersonnel. In particular, we discussed; the assumptions inherent in the calculations performedby T. Buscheck and J. Nitao and how mineralogical and petrological features are important inthe modeling. Bish presented data on the mineralogic effects of short- and long-term heatingof zeolites, smectite, and glass and emphasized that these phases can be affected simply bychanging the water vapor pressure. Levy talked about natural hydrothermal alteration thatoccurred during the cooling of Topopah Spring pyroclastic deposit as a self-analog forrepository effects. The workshop identified numerous experimental and modeling needs thatare important in understanding the behavior of a "hot repository."

WBS 1.2.3.2.3.lA (Volcanism)

Revised probability calculations of the recurrence rate of volcanic events (El), the disruptionratio (E2) and the probability of magmatic disruption of the repository, the controlled area,and the Yucca Mountain region (Pr(E2 given El)Pr(El)) have been completed. The emphasisof the revised calculations is to assess the most likely, the minimum and the maximum valuesof the probability attributes in preparation for simulation modeling to establish probabilitydistributions. This is different from previous work where the calculations were designed toestablish probability bounds. The most likely value of the probability of magmatic disruptionof the repository is < 1 in 10,000 in 10,000 years. The most likely values of the probability ofmagmatic disruption of the controlled area and the Yucca Mountain region are > 1 in 10,000in 10,000 years. Three samples were analyzed for cosmogenic helium during the month. Themeasured cosmogenic He age of the sample is 35 + 5 ka.

WBS L2.3.4.L2.1 (Batch Sorption Studies)

This month we performed batch sorption experiments to study the effect of organic coatings onmetal sorption onto minerals available in the tuff at Yucca Mountain.

The results indicate that the sorption of Cd onto Fe oxide is enhanced by the presence of theorganic coating, however, Cd sorption onto Al oxide decreases as the amount of organic coatingincreases. The enhancement or decrease of Cd sorption was not very large (20%).

WBS L23.4.1.3 (Radionuclide Retardation by Precipitation Process)

P. Palmer, a technician working on the Los Alamos YMP Radionuclide Solubility Task teamfor the past 9 years, has recently received the American Chemical Society's NationalTechnician of the Year Award for his outstanding work. Palmer received recognition by theNew Mexico regional ACS in 1991.

We have obtained results for our UV/Vis absorption study on NpO2 species in (bi)carbonatemedia. At least three species have been observed (consistently) for 0.4 mM Np at 0.9 M(bi)carbonate concentrations from pH 8.4 to 13. This information will serve as a starting pointfor parallel NMR studies as well as bicarbonate concentration and temperature dependentUv/VIS experiments.

The neptunium undersaturation experiment at pH 8.5 was concluded by examining the last ofthe supernatant by adsorption spectroscopy. All of the Np(V) in the pH 8.5 solution wascomplexed by carbonate.

Most task members will be attending the 205th National Meeting of the American ChemicalSociety to be held in Denver, CO, March 28 - April 2, 1993. Palmer will receive his NationalTechnician of the Year Award at this meeting.

WBS L2.3.4.4.11.2 (Radionuclide Retardation by Dispersive, Diffusive, andAdvective Process)

This month we initiated two sets of experiments to further study the transport of Np throughYucca Mountain tufs. The first set consists of studying the kinetics of sorption of Np using

Los Alamos February 1993 HighlightsPreliminary data-do not reference 2

wafers made of intact tuff which are placed in contact with a Np solution in water from thewell J-13 or UE-25 p#l. Aliquots from the Np solution in contact with the tuff wafer aretaken as a function of time so that the uptake of Np by the wafer can be determined. Thewafers were made of tuffs: G4-270 and G4-1532. Next month we will report the results ofthese studies.

The second set of experiments involves eluting a Np solution through crushed tuff columns inorder to determine whether Np sorption onto tuff is reversible, linear, and instantaneous inwaters from the wells J-13 and UE-25 p#1. Four crushed tuff columns are in preparation fromtuffs: G4-270 and G4-1506. This month we are establishing flow rates through the columnswith waters from the well J-13 and UE-25 p#1.

YUCCA MOUNTAIN PROJECT (YMP) STATUS REPORT

FEBRUARY 1993

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY(Items Proposed for Reporting in YMPO or OGD Reports)

1)1.2.1.5 (Special Studies). V-TOUGH input files were transmitted to C. Newbury atYMPO on February 22. These files will be forwarded to other participants who willrun code-to-code benchmark calculations as a means of partially validating LLNL'sextended dry calculations.

2) 1.2.2.2.1 (Chemical and Mineralogical Properties of the Waste PackageEnvironment). B. Christenson, W. Giggenbach and A. Reyes from New Zealandvisited LLNL on February 5 to discuss potential sites for conducting EQ3/6validation activities. Several sites were identified as likely locations, based on dataavailability, observable or inferred processes at the sites, and accessibility. Plans weredeveloped to have LLNL researchers visit these sites in late March to go through theavailable data to determine if the data are complete enough to actually start thesimulations. The group also visited the Project Office and the Yucca Mountain siteon February 8.

3) 1.2.2.2.2 (Hydrologic Properties of the Waste Package Environment). Theexperiment continued to determine the effect of fracture surface coatings on theimbibition of water into the matrix. Eight Topopah Spring Tuff samples machinedfrom outcrops from Busted Butte were prepared for this purpose. Preliminaryresults indicate that fracture surface coatings decrease the water imbibition rate intothe matrix by a factor of 0.15 to 3 x 10-5, depending on the coating thickness. Thesefindings agree with results obtained by S. Thoma, D. Smith (University of NewMexico) and D. Gallegos (SNL) (1992) on Tiva Canyon and Paintbrush Tuff samples.The mineralogy of the coating material and the pore size distribution in the coatinglayers will be determined.

4) 1.2.2.2.3 (Mechani-al Attributes of the Waste Package Environment). Study Plan8.3.4.2.4.3, Rev. 0, "Characterization of the Geomechanical Attributes of the WastePackage Environmient" was approved and distributed as a controlled document.

5) 1.2.2.2.5 (Characterization of the Effects of Man-Made Materials on Chemical &Mineralogical Changes in the Post-Emplacement Environment). The search of theGEMBOCHS thermodynamic database that supports the EQ3/6 codes for aqueousspecies, glass, and solids that contain carbon has been completed. The search fororganic compounds was expanded in recognition of the important role that carbonbearing compounds play in the following three mechanisms, all of which mayoperate within the ESF and the potential repository site:

1) aerobic microbial degradation of hydrocarbon compounds may increasecarbonate species and thus significantly alter pH,

2) abiotic thermal degradation of organic compounds may generate largeamounts of carbon dioxide that may also significantly alter pH, and

3) carbonate complexation.These mechanisms are particularly important to the determination of spent nuclearfuel solubility.

6) 1.2.2.2.2 (Hydrologic Properties of the Waste Package Environment). Becauselarge-scale, buoyant, gas-phase convection cells do not fully develop in the UZ untilabout 1000 yrs, for sub- to marginal-boiling conditions, above-boiling heater testswill be needed to resolve repository horizon condensate flow issues for low arealmass loading.

B. Christensen also spent several days working with LLNL scientists in the use ofEQ3/6. Several specific problems regarding the New Zealand hydrothermal systemwere run on the code.

Newly installed software on the Silicon Graphics Indigo/XS-24 system enhancescapabilities to model equilibrium/disequilibrium domains in the vicinity of wastepackages. This software was used to develop a saturation grid for ambientconditions which will be used, along with ambient mineralogical data, to developmodels of mineral evolution in the vicinity of waste packages.

W. Glassley participated in the workshop to coordinate activities between variousproject participants regarding coupling of geochremical and hydrological processes.This workshop was held February 1-3 at Asilomar, CA. An outline of theconceptual model for geochemical evolution of the altered zone was developed.Discussions also outlined potential problems to be addressed.

The initial issue of the StudyPlan will cover the laboratory experiment portion of the study; modeling will beadded during a subsequent revision.

Model Calculations

The Use of Hypothesis Testing in Model Validation

The subject of hydrological model validation has generated considerable debate.LLNL/YMP agrees with scientists who believe that the terms "model validation"and "verification" are misleading in groundwater science and should be replacedwith the process:

1) using models to obtain a better fundamental understanding of the systembeing modeled,

2) utilizing this understanding to formulate fundamental hypotheses which arethe basis of the conceptual model and performance attributes of the system and,

3) perform analyses and experiments in an attempt to test or invalidate theconceptual moders (or hypotheses).

Past monthly reports have described calculations of repository-heat-drivenhydrothermal flow in the repository-unsaturated zone (UZ)-saturated zone (SZ)system to a broad range of thermal loading design parameters, thermo-hydrologicalproperties, and boundary conditions. A broad range of parameters have been, andcontinue to be, investigated in order to identify:

1) distinct regimes of thermo-hydrological performance, and2) conditions that invalidate the following hypotheses:

a) repository-driven heat flow will be dominated by heat conduction,b) the region of above-boiling temperatures surrounding the repository

corresponds to the absence of liquid water in the waste package (WP) environment,


c) fracture density and connectivity are sufficient to promote rock dry-outdue to boiling and condensate shedding, and

d) re-wetting of the dry-out zone lags significantly behind the end of theboiling period.

In addressing these hypotheses, it will be asked whether hydrothermal-geochemical-geomechanical coupling must be dynamically accounted for in performance modelsor whether it can be conservatively accounted for by bounding analyses. A primarygoal of site characterization, laboratory tests, and in situ heater tests will be to lookfor conditions or processes that have been identified as potentially invalidating anyof the fundamental hypotheses. Knowledge of such conditions, e.g., a highlyfractured fault zone, will be valuable in selecting the location of the repository orWPs.

It is LLNL/YMP's position that hypothesis testing can be more readily applied tomodels that predict the period of radionuclide containment in WPs beforeradionuclide mobilization, release, and transport, than to models that predict howradionuclides are isolated by the natural barriers during the period of radionuclidemigration. For sub- or marginal-boiling conditions, the episodic infiltration ofmeteoric water and condensate drainage are controlled, by the heterogeneousdistribution of hydrological properties, while for above-boiling conditions, they arelargely determined thermodynamically by the heat capacity of the rock. Therefore, itis believed that hypothesis testing is more readily applied to high Areal MassLoadings (AMLs, expressed in metric tons of uranium per acre, MTU/acre) thatproduce long-term, above-boiling conditions surrounding the repository.

Impact of Buoyant, Gas-Phase Convection on Thermo-Hydrological Performance

LLNL/YMP's recent investigations have focused on the impact of large-scale,buoyant, gas-phase convection on thermo-hydrological performance. It is importantto appreciate the fundamental distinction between moisture redistribution drivenby above-boiling conditions and that driven by sub- to marginal-boiling conditions.The performance of the ambient hydrological system is critically dependent onwhether vertically connected fracture pathways exist with sufficient aperture togenerate fracture-dominated flow to the repository horizon (and possibly to thewater table). Similarly, fracture networks of sufficient aperture and connectivity arerequired for repository heat to drive buoyant convection of water vapor from hotterto cooler locations, where condensation occurs. For AMLs that generate sub- ormarginal-boiling conditions at the repository horizon, whether condensate candrain back to the repository horizon is determined by the highly heterogeneousdistribution of fracture and matrix hydrological properties. For high AMLs, as longas a large enough zone of above-boiling conditions surrounds the repository,condensate drainage is unlikely at WP locations. However, after the boiling period,large-scale buoyant convection of water vapor has the potential to eventuallygenerate enough condensate to result in nonequilibrium fracture flow at therepository horizon. Even for low AMLs, large-scale buoyant convection of watervapor in highly fractured zones could generate enough condensate to drivenonequilibrium fracture flow to the repository horizon for tens of thousands ofyears.


*The potential for large-scale, buoyant convection of water vapor to generate enoughcondensate to drive nonequilibrium fracture flow to the repository horizon isinfluenced by the following factors:

1) whether condensate. drainage is primarily controlled by hydrologicalheterogeneity or thermodynamically,

2) the temperature gradients driving large-scale, buoyant, gas-phase convection,3) the availability of liquid water,4) the connectivity and permeability of fracture networks between locations

where water is evaporating and where it is condensing, and5) the connectivity and permeability of preferential fracture pathways between

locations where water vapor is condensing and the repository horizon.

If a large enough zone of above-boiling conditions surrounds the repository,condensate drainage is extremely unlikely at the repository horizon. Futurecalculations will focus on how factors (2) through (5) impact post-boilingperformance. It is useful, therefore, to compare conditions just as the boiling periodends. With respect to factor (2), the temperature gradients associated withintermediate AMLs are found to be steeper than those associated with high AMLs.Therefore, the driving force for the post-boiling period, buoyant convection of watervapor, increases with decreasing AML.

Both during and after the boiling period, factors (3) and (4) depend on the verticalthickness of the dry-out zone, hdz. Large-scale, buoyant, gas-phase convectiondepends on the large-scale connectivity of fracture networks which generallydecreases with increasing distance between two points (e.g., from the lower to theupper dry-out front), with the tortuosity of the connected fracture pathwaysincreasing. Note that even while the dry-out zone is subjected to above-boilingconditions, large-scale buoyant convection eventually dominates the local boilingpressure gradients (t >1000 yr), resulting in the buoyant convection of water vaporfrom the lower to the upper dry-out front. The water vapor that is evaporated fromthe lower dry-out zone is at least partially replenished by water imbibed from the SZ.The actual distribution, of fracture permeability and connectivity is probablyextremely heterogeneous. The assumption that kb is homogeneous and isotropicoverpredicts the transport of water vapor. Therefore, LLNL/YMP's models of highAMLs conservatively predict the time it takes the upper dry-out front to retreat backto the repository horizon.

For post-boiling- period performance, a critical consideration is the value of hdz atthe end of the boiling period. Similarly, factor (5) is dependent on the distance fromthe upper dry-out front to the repository horizon, which is roughly half of hdz. Atthe end of the boiling period for the reference kb case (2.8x10-13m 2 or280 millidarcy), hdz is 14.4, 110, and 248 m for AMLs of 49.2, 77.4, and154.7 MTU/acre, respectively. Therefore, the potential for post-boiling perioddrainage of condensate to the repository horizon is greater for low AMLs associatedwith small dry-out zones.

LLNL-February Status Report 5s

Impact of UZ Flow on Thermo-Hydrological Performance

In examining the sensitivity of heater test performance to kb, it was found that thereare three distinct categories of thermo-hydrological performance. The low-kb casecorresponds to a situation in which fracture density and connectivity throttle therate of boiling and dry-out. The intermediate-kb case corresponds to a situation inwhich the fracture density and connectivity are sufficient to promote boiling that isno longer throttled by flow resistance in the fractures. However, the intermediate-kb is not sufficiently large to promote substantial large-scale buoyancy-drivenconvection; therefore, local boiling pressure gradients dominate the large-scale,buoyancy-driven, gas-phase pressure gradients, resulting in steam flow andcondensate generation that is vertically symmetrical about the heater horizon.Consequently, heat flow continues to be symmetrical about the heater horizon. Theheat convective effects in the heat-pipe zone have a local, transient effect on thetemperature distribution, but because convection does not significantly enhance theheat loss from the boiling zone to the far-field, the duration of boiling conditions isnot significantly reduced. The high-kb case (kb > 10 darcy or l11m2 ) corresponds toa situation in which fracture density and connectivity are sufficiently large to allowlarge-scale, buoyancy-driven gas-phase gradients to dominate the local boilingpressure gradients, causing significant asymmetry in the vertical temperaturedistribution. Although far-field convection may completely dominate the directionof steam flow, causing 100% of the steam to be driven to the upper condensationzone, heat flow can still dominated by heat conduction, and the duration of theboiling period, t, can be negligibly reduced.

For an AML of 77.4 MTU/acre the lower end of the intermediate-kb range is about10 millidarcy (l 14m 2). Therefore, for kb > 10 millidarcy, significant dry-out occursdue to boiling. For an AML of 154.7 MTU/acre, significant dry-out occurs even if kbis as low as 10 microdarcy (lO-17m 2). Even though AML was only increased by afactor of two, the range of kb for significant dry-out due to boiling is increased bythree orders of magnitude. For an AML of 154.7 MTU/acre, the maximum verticalthickness of the dry-out zone, hdz, is 372 m for the reference-kb case (280 millidarcyor 2.8 x 10-13m 2) at t = 2000 yr. The dry-out front corresponds to the location wherethe normalized liquid saturation equals 0.9. The normalized liquid saturation is theliquid saturation (Si) divided by the initial liquid saturation. In other words, thedry-out front occlrs where Si is 10% drier than ambient. For kb values of10 microdarcy, 100 microdarcy, 1 millidarcy, 1 darcy and 5 darcy (a range from 10-17to 5 x lIG 12 m 2), the dry-out zone thickness is 132, 199, 283, 384, and 387 m. The dry-out thickness varies by only 30%, a factor of two, and a factor of three for kb ranges ofnearly 4, 5, and 6 orders of magnitude. Therefore, high AMLs, such as154.7 MTU/acre, are required in order to achieve significant dry-out at very low kb(< 10 microdarcy).

The Need for Above-Boiling Heater Tests for Low to Medium AMLs

Low to medium AMLs generate sub- to marginal-boiling conditions. Under suchconditions, the large-scale buoyant convection of water vapor in highly fracturedzones can cause condensate drainage at the repository horizon that is orders ofmagnitude greater than the recharge flux due to a pluvial climate. It was found that

LLNL-February Status Report6 6

large-scale buoyant convection of water vapor can also significantly influencerepository temperatures. This effect only occurs if water vapor is convected in verylarge quantities from below the repository to cooler locations above the repository,where it condenses and drains back towards the repository. The analysis of Ross etal. indicates that it requires about 1000 yr for large-scale, buoyant, gas-phaseconvection cells to fully develop in the UZ. LLNL/YMP's calculations also indicatethat it requires about 1000 yr for convection cells to impact sub-boiling performance.Therefore, it will not be possible to observe such effects during either:

1) heater tests conducted under sub- to marginal-boiling conditions, or2) the period of performance confirmation.

In order to assess the potential for large-scale buoyant vapor flow to result incondensate drainage at the repository horizon under sub-boiling conditions, it willbe necessary to rely on heater tests conducted under above-boiling conditions. Thereare very distinct differences in the vertical temperature profile between theintermediate- and high- kb heater test cases. The high kb case uses the same value ofkb (84 darcy or 8.4 x 101 1m 2) which produced very large condensate drainage fluxesfor AMLs of 49.2 and 27.1 MTU/acre. Such large fluxes could result innonequilibrium fracture flow at the repository horizon for tens of thousands ofyears. The potential for significant condensate flow at the repository horizon cannotbe resolved without above-boiling heater tests.

Code Development

S. Daveler developed an input "checker" for V-TOUGH to look for input which isobviously incompatible with input format. She continues to work on thedocumentation for V-TOUGH.

T. Quinn released Version 5.6 of V-TOUGH which has:1) a new option (14) for the relative permeability and capillary pressure curves

and2) an interrupt capability for the SUN and IBM workstations.

The new interrupt capability allows V-TOUGH to write an "emergency" restart file ifit senses that the operating system is about to abort the run. There is also an optionfor the user to produce a restart file by typing in a control-C which then terminatesthe run after creating the restart file. Option 14 prevents the gas-phase relativepermeability frorp being reduced to zero as a liquid saturation of 1.0 is approached.This option may be applicable to unsaturated fracture flow. Heterogeneouscondensate drainage in fractures will probably make it very unlikely that 100% ofthe fracture porosity could be saturated with liquid, particularly above therepository. This option translates the original relative permeability curve to a curvewhich approaches a maximum liquid-phase saturation which is less than one. Afinite gas-phase relative permeability will remain at all times. This option willallow more conservative investigation of the potential thermo-hydrological effectsof large-scale, buoyant, gas-phase convection.


Laboratory Experiments

Work continued on electrical resistivity measurements as a function of moisturecontent of Topopah Spring Tuff samples from U3hg-1 and GU-3 holes at roomtemperature, using J-13 -water as pore fluid. The purpose of the experimentalprocedure is to determine the effect of the electrical conductivity of pore fluid on therelationship between the bulk electrical conductivity of a rock sample and the degreeof saturation in it. At this point in the wetting phase of the measurement, thesamples have reached a saturation level of about 50%. The measured bulkresistivity using J-13 water as pore fluid is the same as when distilled water is used.Investigations are underway to understand this phenomenon. One possibleexplanation is that, at low levels of water saturation, the continuous layer of wateron the mineral surface is dominating the conduction of electrical energy in the bulkrock and the chemical reaction between distilled water and the minerals within thislayer is very efficient. This work will have significant implications for rock-waterinteractions.

Work continued on the investigation of different imbibition rates of water into arock sample when the sample is either in a vapor environment or in liquid water.To understand the mechanism of the imbibition, capillary. tubes of various insidediameters (ID) were placed in a constant humidity chamber which is set at variouslevels of humidity. The imbibition rate of water into each capillary tube will bedetermined. It was determined that even capillary tubes with an ID as small as33 microns do not imbibe moisture in a 95 - 100% relative humidity environment.The effect of nucleation on the imbibition will be investigated by placing a partiallyfilled capillary tube in a vapor environment.

The experiment continued to determine the effect of fracture surface coatings on theimbibition of water into the matrix. Eight Topopah Spring Tuff samples machinedfrom outcrops from Busted Butte, NV were prepared for this purpose. Preliminaryresults indicate that fracture surface coatings decrease the water imbibition rate intothe matrix by a factor of 0.15 to 3 x 10-5, depending on the coating thickness. Thesefindings agree with results obtained by S. Thoma, D. Smith (University of NewMexico) and D. Gallegos (SNL) (1992) on Tiva Canyon and Paintbrush Tuff samples.The mineralogy of the coating material and the pore size distribution in the coatinglayers will be determined.

Work has started to prepare Topopah Spring Tuff samples from the G4 hole fordetermining the moisture retention curve and one-dimensional imbibition at hightemperatures.

Meetings

J. Blink met with G. Danko (University of Nevada, Reno) in Reno on February 5 todiscuss use of Prof. Danko's REKA instrument on the Large Block Test and on EBSfield tests in the ESF.

Large Block Test (LBT)

The Scientific Investigation Plan for Large Block Testing of Coupled Thermal-Mechanical-Hydrological-Chemical Processes is in internal technical review.

The preliminary moisture content of some small pieces of Topopah Spring Tufffrom the Fran Ridge outcrop has been determined to be about 30%. Work willcontinue to refine the moisture content determination. This information will beused in the design of the Large Block Tests.

J. Blink, Y. Chan, W. Lin, and D. Wilder met with M. Voegele (SAIC) on February 9to discuss issues related to the large block cutting and testing. The initial design ofthe loading frame has been completed. A drawing of the design will be available forbidding next month.

J. Blink, Y. Chan, W. Lin, J. Roberts, and D. Wilder met with REECo and Sandiapersonnel at NTS on February 23 to discuss issues related to the isolation andprotection of the large block. A SANL will be initiated next month for theprocurement of Sandia's service of cutting the block(s).


1.2.2.2.5 Characterization of the Effects of Man-Made Materials on Chemical &Mineralogical Changes in the Post-Emplacement Environment

Revision of the draft Study Plan 8.3.4.2.4.5 "Characterization of the Effects of Man-Made Materials on the C-hemical and Mineral Changes in the Post EmplacementEnvironment" continues.

The search of the GEMBOCHS thermodynamic database that supports the EQ3/6codes for aqueous species, glass, and solids that contain carbon has been completed.The search for organic compounds was expanded in recognition of the importantrole that carbon bearing compounds play in the following three mechanisms, all ofwhich may operate within the ESF and the potential repository site:

1) aerobic microbial degradation of hydrocarbon compounds may increasecarbonate species and thus significantly alter pH,

2) abiotic thermal degradation of organic compounds may generate largeamounts of carbon dioxide that may also significantly alter pH, and

3) carbonate complexation.These mechanisms are particularly important to the determination of spent nuclearfuel solubility.

As a consequence of these results, the following actions are being taken.1) The database is being evaluated to identify the organic compounds that are

likely to be introduced into the ESF and the potential radioactive waste repositoryfor which the thermodynamic and kinetic properties are not well established.

2) An experimental plan for the organic materials study program is beingdeveloped.

3) Lab facilities for these experiments are being assembled.

A final version of the position paper summarizing the chemical concerns for theintroduction of Man-Made Materials to the ESF was provided to the M&O.

LLNL-February Status Report I10

I Spent Fuel Dissolution

The flow-through dissolution tests on U0 2 at LLNL are continuing. The 2% oxygenroom temperature runs ere completed. The very low (0.2% oxygen) roomtemperature runs were continued because of difficulties in maintaining the correctflow rate and oxygen level. The higher temperature, low oxygen experiments arebeing set up and will be finished in several weeks. This will conclude the originaltest matrix for U0 2 dissolution tests over a range of temperature, pH, oxygen, andcarbonate/bicarbonate aggressive water chemistries.

In addition, two long-term, room temperature, flow-through dissolutionexperiments have been ongoing since October 1992. These dissolution tests use U0 2powder provided by PNL for similar experiments. The first buffer composition is0.02M sodium bicarbonate at a pH of 8. The second composition is saline with 0.01Msodium bicarbonate and 0.1M sodium chloride; the pH is not being controlled. Afterseveral months, the uranium dissolution rate for the non-saline solution is about1 mg/m2 /day. The uranium dissolution rate in the saline solution is somewhathigher at about 3 mg/m2 /day.

Equipment for measuring BET surface areas has been installed in the PNL Bldg. 325hot cells, and measurements have been successfully completed on a few spent fuelspecimens.

Flow-through dissolution tests at PNL have been started on ATM-106 fuel (PWRfuel with burnup -48 MWd/kgM and fission gas release 18%) in both oxidized(O/M -2.4) and unoxidized forms following BET measurements of their surfaceareas.

Spent Fuel Oxidation

The abstract by R. Stout, E. Kansa and A. Wijesinghe entitled "Kinematics andThermodynamics Across a Propagating Non-Stoichiometric Oxidation Phase Frontin Spent Fuel Grains" was approved by YMPO for presentation at the ASMEMicromechanical Random Media Conference at the University of Virginia onJune 6-9.

Dry Bath Testing

R. Einziger (PNL) visited LLNL to discuss plans for the startup of a new dry bathoxidation test. This test, to be performed at 2550C, will be used to determine theU 409 to U308 transition. A test plan addendum was completed and sent to LLNLfor review and approval.

Plans are being finalized to bring B. Hanson, a graduate student from UC Berkeley,to PNL. He will conduct thermogravimetric apparatus (TGA) tests to elucidate theU409 to U 30 8 transition and develop a methodology for measuring the transition atlow temperatures.

The dry bath oxidation tests continue to run without problem.

1.2.2.3.2 Metal Barriers

D. McCright was appointed Technical Area Leader for the EBS MaterialsCharacterization Technical Area on February 1. Members of this technical area metwith representatives of YMPO and the M&O on February 11 to discuss recentdevelopments in waste package designs, fabrication, and materials. An outline for alimited amount of experimental work was developed; the purpose of this work is tosupport thermal load decisions on the extended dry concept for long termcontainment.

At the request of RmFish (M&O), J. Mitchell provided estimates of the material costsfor the three materials recommended for the YMP Conceptual Design (single,material, thin-walled container); nickel-rich Alloy 825, nickel-base Alloy C-4, andGrade 12 titanium. The costs were based on manufacturing estimates for plate stock.

Work is continuing on compiling information on carbon steels, low alloy steels, andcast irons for a degradation mode survey on this class of materials. Thick sections ofthese iron-base materials could be used as an overpack for multiple purposecontainers, and their use would be consistent with strategies toward high thermalloads to keep the near field environment "dry" for an extended period of time.

Laboratory equipment was moved and re-installed in readiness for performingsome experimental work. A purchase order for a thermogravimetric apparatus(TGA) system was submitted for a capital equipment purchase. The TGA system

LLNL-February Status Report 1 2

will be used for sensitively determining the corrosion and oxidation rates of metalsas a function of temperature and humidity.

At the request of the Peiformance Analysis Technical Area, J. Mitchell providedestimates of the reduction of container wall thickness of carbon steel engineeredbarrier overpacks for 10,000 years based on the extended dry waste package designconcept. These estimates were based on low temperature oxidation of steel as theoperable degradation mode.

The prototype development of a WINDOWS/4GL (mouse-driven) version ofDOOUT was completed. This program facilitates interactive point-and-clickgeneration of thermodynamic datafiles for EQ3/6, GT and other geochemicalmodeling packages. The program is currently undergoing local beta testing.

Several new modifications were incorporated to CNGBOCHS (and the associatedCNGREQ database). These will greatly simplify the planned use of this automatedchange-request package by other LLNL/YMP research groups (in addition toGEMBOCHS and EQ3/6, for whom the package was originally designed).

A dedicated directory was established on the GEMBOCHS sparcstation2 (node s60 ofthe local Sun network) where the new generation of GUI (Graphical User Interface)GEMBOCHS software will reside; the DOOUT prototype will be the first suchprogram available.

A customized, composite thermodynamic datafile that contains only carbon-bearingspecies was generated for use with EQ3/6.

1.2.5.4 Performance Assessment

1.2.5.4.2 Waste Package Performance Assessment

The LLNL EBS/NFE performance assessment staff began a series of meetings todiscuss issues and ideas for a source term description incorporating explicit thermaleffects. LLNL hosteda two day visit by the Total System Performance Assessment(TSPA) staff from SNL to discuss the source term scope for TSPA-2. A preliminaryscope has beenprepared to elicit feedback from other participants. A series oftechnical work sessions has begun with Waste Form, Waste Package Materials, andNear Field Environment personnel to develop mechanistic process descriptions tobe abstracted into the improved source term.

The modeling of thermal response was extended for drift-emplaced-packagerepository design concepts, to calculate container temperature history as well ascladding temperature history. The model is a parameterization of detailedcalculations done in other tasks as described in last month's progress report. Thecontainer material has not been selected, and therefore the upper temperature limithas not been selected. Trial analyses show that feasible design parameters can meettemperature limits in the 200 to 3000C range with different areal mass loadings. Oneselection has 155 MTU/acre and a container temperature limit of 3000C; another has

92 MTU/acre and a container temperature limit of 2000C. A container temperaturelimit even of 3000C is more of a constraint than is a cladding temperature limit of3500C. This is not an optimization study; it is a feasibility study to select anappropriate design as the subject of a performance assessment.

WBS 12.3 SITE INVESTIGATIONS

WBS 1.2.3.1 SITE INVESTIGATIONS COORDINATION AND PLANNING

REPORT PERIOD: February 1, 1993 - February 28, 1993

REPORT DATE: March 10, 1993

RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUAL: D.W. Brickey

SUMMARY OF WORK ACCOMPLISHED DURING REPORT PERIOD:

1. An element of the YMP 3-D modeling efforts is for EG&G/EM to attempt toconvert a 3-D stratigraphic model developed using Lynx software into DynamicGraphics 3-D modeling software. Jim Nelson (SAIC-Golden) has been tasked tosend an ASCII formatted cross-section file generated using the Lynx Geosystemssoftware and Garth Kirkham (Lynx) will send a WaveFront formatted 3D modelexport file so that the Dynamic Graphics conversion effort can be initiated.

WaveFront files were received from Garth Kirkham at Lynx, however, the fileswere unreadable. The files had been produced on an IBM RS6000 system.Kirkham will regenerate the files on a SUN system. Jim Nelson has not yetprovided the example cross-section files.

2. David Brickey attended a meeting with Dr. Angelo Yfantis, (UNLV ComputerScience) during the first week in February. In attendance at the meeting wereRuss Dyer, Claudia Newbury (DOE/YMP), Chris Rautman (SNL), and JohnGauthier (M&O/WC). The topics of discussion included numerical modelingmethods and the use of fractal models in visualization.

3. Jeffrey Schwalm (Dynamics Graphics) provided demonstrations of the newEarthVision 1.0 software at the YMPSO facility. On February 22, Schwalmloaded EarthVision onto a R4000 Indigo, which he demonstrated for DaveBrickey, and John Gauthier and Cady Johnson (M&O/WC).

On February 26, Schwalm demonstrated the EarthVision software throughout theday at the YMPSO facility. Attending the demonstrations were Claudia Newbury,Mark Tynan, Tom Fortner and Dennis Williams (DOE/YMP); Doug Duncun(DOE/NV); Dwight Hoxie and Joe Rousseau (USGS); Les Shephard (SNL);

1

Alfred Balch (Colorado School of Mines); Angelo Yfantis (UNLV); and JohnGauthier (M&O/WC).

MAJOR PROBLEMS AND CORRECTIVE ACTION UNDERTAKEN: None.

ANTICIPATED SIGNIFICANT EVENTS PLANNED DURING NEXT REPORTPERIOD:

1. In order to initiate the Lynx to Dynamic Graphics conversion, exampleWaveFront cross-section files have to be received from Garth Kirkham (Lynx). Itis expected that these files will be received during early March. If the files arenot received, it is unlikely that the conversion can be completed in April.
