Description/Abstract:
The technical concept for Project Travois contains one simple analysis of the potential hazard of contaminating the Arrowrock Reservoir on the Boise River with some of the radionuclides produced. This previous analysis assumes homogeneous and prompt mixing of all the tritium and tungsten isotopes. This simple analysis is physically unrealistic sine there is no way of transporting all of these radionuclides to the reservoir, promptly. We shall in this paper reanalyze the contamination problem in such a way that we define the type of site geology and hydrology information that must be developed.
