Elucidation of the constitution of C2-C3 copolymers through digitization of the spectra and subsequent analysis by an iterative least-squares procedure using a computer to provide band positions, intensities and half-widths for the overlapped bands in the methylene and methyl rocking regions. Contribution from each structural unit calculated using band areas derived from computer-resolved band parameters... 

As regards the methyl rocking region, Drushel et at. showed that at certain composition levels (ca. 22 wt %C3) maximum absorption occurs near 10.4 p and they assume that it could be produced by two contiguous C3 units with C2 units on each side. Such an attribution is quite reasonable not only could it offer an alternative interpretation of this complex band, but it could also extend the relationship between IR absorption and sequence distribution beyond the values of the copolymer composition covered by Eq. (2). Unfortunately the uncertainty regarding the absorptivities makes it impossible to reconcile the fractions of C3 units present in sequences of one, two, three or more members, as deduced from the bands at 10.67, 10.4 and 10.3 p and reported in Table 5 of Ref. (25), with those predicted for any value of the product of reactivity ratios. 

The near-field geometry of one-dimensional demonstration analysis is shown in the Figure 10. This test case is Ca-C-Mg-Na-K-Fe-Al-Si system because smectite, calcite and chalcedony are assumed in the buffer material region, and calcite and chalcedony are assumed in the hard rock region.

Fluorspar deposits ate commonly epigenetic, ie, the elements moved from elsewhere into the country rock. For this reason, fluorine mineral deposits ate closely associated with fault 2ones. In the United States, significant fluorspar deposits occur in the Appalachian Mountains and in the mountainous regions of the West, but the only reported commercial production in 1993 was from the faulted carbonate rocks of Illinois. 

Long Valley in east-central California, the Valles Caldera of north-central New Mexico, and the Yellowstone region of northwestern Wyoming. The sizes of these magma bodies may be in excess of 1000 km of fluid rock at temperatures in excess of 650°C. It has been estimated that only 2 km of magma could provide enough energy to operate a 1000-MW electric power plant for 30 years. 

The term aquifer is used to denote an extensive region of saturated material. There are many types of aquifers. The primary distinction between types involves the boundaries that define the aquifer. An unconfined aquifer, also known as a phraetic or water table aquifer, is assumed to have an upper boundary of saturated soil at a pressure of zero gauge, or atmospheric pressure. A confined aquifer has a low permeabiUty upper boundary that maintains the interstitial water within the aquifer at pressures greater than atmospheric. For both types of aquifers, the lower boundary is frequendy a low permeabihty soil or rock formation. Further distinctions exist. An artesian aquifer is a confined aquifer for which the interstitial water pressure is sufficient to allow the aquifer water entering the monitoring well to rise above the local ground surface. Figure 1 identifies the primary types of aquifers. 

Regulations include guidelines on geologic conditions. Of special interest is the stabiUty of the geology against faulting, volcanic action, and earthquakes. The repository is to be located in an arid region, where the water table is quite low. The host rock is to have a suitable porosity and a low hydrauhc conductivity.
