| Summary: | A study was performed to determine the source of moist salt believed that this additional source of water was coming from bottom of the exhaust shaft, and at the top of the exhaust bottom of the exhaust shaft, w used to develop a computer cooling the air.underwent as in passed through the exhaust data obtained from the weather monitors outside and at the diminished during moist outdoor conditions. The conditions either ground water recharge or from aquifers the exhaust eliminate, the problem of moist salt forming on the air equipment was installed at the top of the exhaust shaft in a formations on air sampling , probes at the top of the exhaust Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). An earlier study by Texas A&M location that would not be subjected t outside influences. model of the waste repository and of the exhaust shaft, moist salt tended to form more heavily during relativel dry moisture was entering the exhaust shaft air stream. It was of the air were already being monitored outside, at the outdoor conditions and were not believed to accurately report outdoor conditions, whereas the amount of salt on the probes prevent this influx of moisture would reduce, if not rarely existed, and that an unaccounted for source of rate of growth on the air sampling probes. Specifically, sampling probes. shaft penetrated, and that sealing the exhaust shaft to shaft used in ventilating the waste repository at the Waste shaft were predicted. The model showed that such conditions shaft. The data obtained from the weather instrumentation at the conditions of the air. Additional weather monitoring The data obtained from this instrumentation, along with the the top of the exhaust shaft were believed to be affected by Univ suggested that outdoor weather conditions affected the Using the computer model, the conditions under which moisture would precipitate out of the air stream as a result of the |
