There are no fully reclaimed uranium mill or mine waste dumps in the U.S., despite the passage of the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978. The Act stated the findings and purposes of Congress as to uranium mill tailings hazards, defined a remedial action program aimed at inactive or abandoned tailings sites, and clarified the regulatory system for controlling ...
Current Alzheimer's disease (AD) criteria state that a definite diagnosis can only be made by postmortem examination. The neuropathological confirmation is often referred to as the "gold standard." In this article, we review what constitutes a gold standard and how the neuropathological examination of AD lives up to that ...

Cabanas, working 30 years ago, was the first to use the term "sentinel lymph node" in urology. His definition of the sentinel lymph node was based on typical anatomical patterns and therefore could not do justice to any individual variability in lymphatic drainage. This meant that application of the technique yielded high false-negative rates, and because of this it was largely ...

Three of the 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) expanded the ability of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to clean up hazardous waste contamination by allowing EPA to respond to releases at all waste management units, whether active, inactive, or abandoned. Current ...
The objectives of Task 37 are to locate, examine, and properly close wells on RMA that may be allowing, or could potentially allow, migration of contamination from upper aquifers to deep aquifers. The technical approach was structured in such a way that unused wells were closed on a prioritized basis according to potential to adversely impact deep aquifers. The study area was limited to those ...

During the past decade, several methane/air explosions in abandoned or sealed areas of underground coal mines have been attributed to lightning. Previously published work by the authors showed, through computer simulations, that currents from lightning could propagate down steel-cased boreholes and ignite explosive methane/air mixtures. The presented work ...

One factor in evaluating the desirability of rail transport for high-level radioactive wastes or spent fuels is the frequency, or lack thereof, with which railroad and railroad lines have been, and are, abandoned. If DOE makes a decision to use the rail option and a line is subsequently abandoned, the choice results in increased cost, time delays and ...

The Surface Environment and Mining (SEAM) program of the US Forestry Service, which was devised to help land managers develop and adapt land reclamation strategies for abandoned mine sites is described. Land reclamation objectives as stated in SEAM are: the productivity of reclaimed land should at least equal that of premined land; reclamation should be achieved without ...
In 1977 Congress passed the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act, which provided for the abatement of abandoned mine land (AML) problems through a reclamation program funded by a severance tax on current mining. AML was defined as any land, includin...
This Bureau of Mines report estimates the extent of abandoned coal-mined lands, focusing on problems emanating from such lands, and examining their magnitude, methods and costs of rehabilitation, and reclamation efforts presently being expended by Federal and State government agencies and the mining industry. Reclamation cost data are current as of 1978.
The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act requires that states develop regulatory programs and reclamation plans for surface mining activities. Prior to passage of this law, the Indiana legislature required Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) to survey abandoned mine lands not under the control of state reclamation laws. IDNR then contracted the Laboratory for ...
Various exogenous or endogenous factors may induce an emergency response in birds, redirecting current activity towards survival. In fasting, breeding penguins, the achievement of a critical energy depletion was suggested to induce egg abandonment and departure to sea for re-feeding. How such a behavioral shift is hormonally controlled remains unknown. The ...

Some abandoned or derelict lands in the United States are being reclaimed under state and federal programs in order to reduce hazards to health and public safety associated with these lands and to restore them to productive use. Creation of such unreclaimed lands is now rare as post-mining utilization of land is regulated to minimize the loss of resources, both on and adjacent ...
The US House of Representatives have approved amendments to the Clean Water Act which include a provision giving mine operators an incentive to re-open abandoned strip mines by providing a limited exclusion from strict water quality standards. A news item reports this and indicates that the House was persuaded to approve the amendment because of the amount ...
