Dear John Zwolinski,
The monitor well is really a basement structure under the SFP.
The problems with it include:
- 1. Contaminated water was found, after a period of about five years no one was even looking.
- 2. This basement is on an old 40 mils plastic liner similar to ones placed under typ. concrete slabs. Radiation decay of this is unknown.
3.
Something is leaking somewhere, since beach sand was removed to Hanford and 1
white crystals of borates? are showing up on the adjacent soil.
- 4. No one seems to monitor or test this either.
- 5. Some new monitoring plans are in progress, what exactly I don't know.
- 6. The SFP was cracked (Quake?) and was epoxied up. The structural integrety i
has declined and it will fail worse next quake or settling.
7.
Settling in an adjacent well ( 200 feet deep water well) right there was investigated by numerous test holes. Some cavities and bad ground were encountered. No other tests were run, and test holes grouted. This could mean that some unstable areas exist in the sandstone bedrock. These could cause additional settling during a seismic event, very close to tha SFP.
8.
Various failure scenarios could occur during big quakes resulting in
" unacceptable doses to the public" whatever that means, it doesn't sound good.
- 9. Osmotic pressure of the concentrated boric solutions is greater than the fresh water outside therefore it can migrate up the hydraulic gradient.
- 10. Spent fuel at SONGS 1 SFP is not scheduled to be removed until 1999, and final shipments are not sched. until 2013!
The total U/Pu is 207 assemblies at 0.371 tons each=76 tons or 155,000lbs!
The totals for the other SFP is much greater so that totals are closer to 500,000 lbs(correct me if I'm wrong) and will take most of the next century 9703120119 970306 PDR ORG NRRA
to remove. This time frame also includes the time frame of the next BigOne on the S.
San Andreas Fault!
We are working on this and other seismic analyses at SONGS, but our work will not be completed soon, due to various delays.
I don't recommend living around here.

smd0wdc. net ps Paul, you can. forward most of what I send you.
except our upcoming plans or stategies.
