摘要:
The impermeability, plasticity, high thermal conductivity, and ‘self‐sealing’ properties of rock salt have been cited as favorable characteristics for its potential use in the isolation of radioactive wastes. U.S. Gulf Cost salt domes are therefore one type of salt deposit which is under serious consideration for this purpose. However, despite the advantageous character of the material itself, water does accumulate in at least three of the seven operating salt mines in the Gulf Coast. Three of the others are dry mines, and the remaining one is nearly so. An eighth mine, in the Winnfield dome, was flooded in 1965 and is no longer operating. In that instance, mine seeps had been reported by Hoy etal. [1962], but flooding may have been a result of quarrying of caprock over the mine [Martinez etal.,

摘要:
Highest priorities for atmospheric sciences research during the coming decade should be to improve short‐term weather predictions, to predict climatic response to urbanization and other surface changes, and to identify global atmospheric chemical cycles. These are the conclusions of a report by the National Research Council's Committee on Atmospheric Sciences, a part of NRC's Assembly of Mathematical and Physical Sciences. Two other broad topics were suggested for ‘intensive investigation’: the effect of solar radiation on the atmosphere, and weather modific

摘要:
Predicting the world oil supply is, in the words of a member of the Technology Assessment Board, ‘a risky proposition …a gamble.’ Nonetheless, the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) has made a general prediction, resulting from the study ‘World Petroleum Availability: 1980–2000,’ which was prepared in response to a request from the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. According to this report, in the future the United States will be unable to expect increased imports over current levels, and furthermore, this country will be facing much stiffer competition for world supplies, at lower im
