Groundwater data pave the way for Environmental Management Disposal Facility at Oak Ridge
Results of a two-year study of groundwater levels at the site of the planned Environmental Management Disposal Facility (EMDF) in Oak Ridge, Tenn., have been released, revealing that the levels fell at a slower-than-expected rate. The collection of data on groundwater levels during two wet seasons, conducted by the Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management and the contractor United Cleanup Oak Ridge, formed the core of a groundwater field demonstration study which will help inform the final design of the EMDF landfill.

There is a need in the nuclear industry for a qualified digital Safety Display System due to obsolescence and reliability issues with the currently installed display systems. This paper describes a digital Safety Display System designed by Lockheed Martin Corporation. The paper describes how the Safety Display System (SDS) interfaces with the integrated safety system. The SDS provides the man-machine interfaces to the safety system. The paper describes how the integrated safety system and SDS complies with the design principles described in the Design-Specific Review Standard, Section 7.1, Instrumentation and Controls – Fundamental Principles. The paper also describes how an integrated safety system and SDS complies with selected guidelines of DI&C-ISG-04, Section 1, Interdivisional Communications.
