The Minerals of the Bergen Archways Bulletin of the New York Mineralogy Club Vol. 2 No. 2.

1919réf. 004936New York: New York Mineralogy Club 1919. 6.25" wide by 9.25" tall. Original light green printed wrappers. Cover lightly soiled. Text pages are NEAR FINE. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Illustrated with map line drawings and 4 photographic plates. Table. Reprinted for the Club from the AMERICAN MINERALOGIST 1919. From the text: "Bergen Hill is about 19 kilometers 12 miles long and 1.6 kilometers 1 mile wide comprising a range of bluffs of Triassic diabase. It commences at Bergen Point and runs behind Jersey City and Hoboken to a point in Weehawken about opposite Thirty-fifth Street in New York City. Here it comes close to the Hudson River and continues north for some 29 kilometers 18 miles to Piermont being known as the Palisades. The Bergen Hill region has long been noted as a locality for zeolites and associated minerals. When the announcement was made that the Erie Railroad Company had begun the construction of an open cut thru the hill local collectors interested in mineralogy looked forward to the collecting of fine specimens. This interest was fully justified from the history of past borings thru Bergen hill. Among the zeolites and related minerals found were: stilbite laumontite gmelinite analcite natrolite apophyllite pectolite and datolite and of common occurrence with these were quartz calcite pyrite chalcopyrite sphalerite and diabantite. While the minerals from the extrusive basalts of West Peterson Great Notch and Upper Montclair are found in cavernous openings amygdules vugs etc. the Bergen Archways minerals were confined to veins. Prehnite heulandite and thomsonite found so abundantly at the former localities were not noted tho Dana lists these minerals from Bergen Hill. A brief description of minerals found by the writer follows." This copy is from the library of scientist and author Robert B. Sosman with his tiny ink stamp. The physical chemist Robert Browning Sosman received his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1907 at the age of 26. By 1908 he had joined the Geo-Physical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution. Dr. Sosman worked at the Geo-Physical Laboratory for 20 years serving 8 years as Assistant Director. During World War I his contributions there were instrumental in establishing America's capacity for manufacturing optical glass. In 1928 he left to join the United States Steel Corporation as Assistant Director of Research. Following his retirement from U.S. Steel in 1947 he became visiting professor of Ceramics at Rutgers University. Dr. Sosman was a past president of the American Ceramic Society. In his honor the Society established The Robert B. Sosman Award "the highest recognition of scientific accomplishment given by the Basic Science Division. in recognition of outstanding achievement in basic science of an area that results in a significant impact to the field of ceramics." Keywords: Geology. Bergen New Jersey Zeolites. Old offprint from original periodical. Softcover pamphlet. Very Good condition. pp. 9-20. New York Mineralogy Club Paperback

Improving the Characterization and Treatment of Radioactive Wastes for the Department of Energy's Accelerated Site Cleanup Program

2005réf. 77127Washington DC: The National Academies Press 2005. Presumed First Edition First printing. Trade paperback. Very good. xii 72 pages. Illustrations. References. Appendices includes Biographical Sketches of Committee Members and Acronyms. To manage the massive cleanup of sites involved in the production of nuclear weapons materials throughout the Manhattan Project and the Cold War the Department of Energy DOE established in 1989 its Office of Environmental Remediation and Waste Management renamed the Office of Environmental Management EM in 1994. Because of the complexity of cleaning up this legacy of waste and contamination limited experience and changing requirements identifying actual costs and time required to complete the cleanup was a challenge from the beginning. In June 1998 EM issued its first comprehensive plan Paths to Closure DOE 1998a for accelerating the cleanup and reducing costs. Currently according to EM's plan for accelerated cleanup the total life cycle cost is estimated to be about $142 billion with completion in 2035. EM is considering how the schedule and costs might be reduced further without compromising its commitments to health and safety. EM commissioned this study by the National Academies' Board on Radioactive Waste Management BRWM to provide technical advice for EM's accelerated cleanup program specifically by identifying opportunities for EM to improve its capabilities for characterizing and treating the legacy wastes and contamination that are within the scope of the accelerated cleanup program. While acknowledging that site cleanup is a multifaceted challenge including establishing cleanup goals legal and regulatory compliance and public confidence the committee confined its study to the technical issues set forth in its Study Prospectus and Statement of Task . EM's technical capability to manage its wastes and environmental contamination is essential for accomplishing the cleanup regardless of how non-technical issues surrounding site cleanup may change over the time.
