9 1 Enrichment Oil from the Arctic Oil is the leading source of energy in the United States. It supplies about 40 percent of our total energy needs. One of our largest domestic sources of crude oil comes from the icy, frigid area of Alaska called the North Slope. Under the North Slope s frozen ground, called permafrost, lies the Prudhoe Bay Oil Field. It is the largest oil deposit ever discovered on the North American continent. It holds over 22 billion barrels of oil. About half of this oil is expected to be recovered by current methods of production. The Alaskan Pipeline The Alaskan Pipeline was built to carry the oil from Prudhoe Bay to the port of Valdez, Alaska. The pipeline was completed in 1977, cost $8 billion, and took three years to build. The 1,300 km pipeline is 1.25 m in diameter. It has 1.25 cm thick walls designed to withstand the extreme Alaskan environment. The pipe is insulated with 10 cm of fiberglass and jacketed with galvanized steel. It carries 1.6 million barrels of oil per day, about 15 percent of the total United States production. Above Ground Portions On its way from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez, the pipeline crosses three mountain ranges and hundreds of running rivers and streams. Only half of it is buried. The above-ground portion snakes along on its supports 3 to 4.5 m above the ground. Each support consists of steel posts with a crossbeam between them. The reinforced pipeline rests on the supports with room to sway from side to side in the event of earthquakes or expansions or contractions caused by temperature changes. The Design of the Pipeline The pipeline wasn t placed above ground just because it was easier to build that way. The reasons for this related mainly to environmental and safety concerns. Oil travels through the pipeline at about 60 C. In order to prevent the permafrost from thawing, which would make the pipeline unstable, the pipeline was elevated. At points where caribou migration routes would have crossed the elevated pipeline, it has been buried and refrigerated to leave these routes undisturbed. A series of safety valves provides further protection to the environment. These valves close automatically if the oil flow stops or reverses on uphill stretches. It is also possible to shut off whole sections of the line if leaks or spills should occur. 1. Look at a map of Alaska. Find Prudhoe Bay and Valdez. What type of terrain does the Alaskan Pipeline travel through? 2. Many people feared that the Alaskan pipeline would damage the environment that it passed through. What precautions have been taken to protect the environment along its route? 3. Do you think that all of the planning, work, and cost of building the Alaskan pipeline was worth the final product domestic oil? Explain your answer. 30 Energy Sources
10 2 Enrichment Types of Nuclear Waste The federal government has classified radioactive wastes as follows: 1. Spent fuel consists of fuel exposed to radiation which is removed from a commercial reactor (after three or four years in use) or special fuels from test or research reactors. Spent fuel is highly radioactive and generates a lot of heat. It requires heavy shielding (concrete, water, or lead) and remote handling (no human contact). Most spent fuel is stored in on-site pools at nuclear power plants. 2. High-level waste is generated by the reprocessing of either commercial spent fuel or defense production reactor fuel. It is liquid, but can be chemically treated to make a sludge or solid. It is highly radioactive, generates a lot of heat, and requires shielding and remote handling. 3. Transuranic waste comes from the reprocessing of spent fuel and from the use of plutonium in making nuclear weapons. The Department of Energy defines it as waste contaminated with alpha-emitting radio nuclides of atomic number greater than 92 and half-lives of greater than 20 years. It is less radioactive and generates less heat than fission products. It requires long-term isolation, but requires very little or no shielding. 4. Low-level waste is short-lived and has low radioactivity. It is generated by hospitals, laboratories, industrial plants, and nuclear reactors. It comes in a variety of forms which include animal carcasses, medical equipment, contaminated wiping rags, paper towels, protective clothing, hand tools, and old equipment. Radiation can be high enough to require shielding for handling and shipment of this waste. 5. Uranium mill tailings include earthen residues, usually in the form of fine sand, that remain after mining and extraction of uranium from ores. These mill tailings contain low concentrations of naturally occurring radioactive materials, including thorium-230 and radium-226, which decays to emit the radioactive gas radon Naturally occurring and acceleratorproduced radioactive material includes radium-226 which is found in smoke detectors and watch dials, polonium-210 which is found in industrial gauges, and cobalt-57 which is produced in linear accelerators for making medical instruments. This type of nuclear waste is not regulated. 1. The information on a smoke detector says that it should be returned to the manufacturer and not thrown away in the trash. Why is this so? 2. Compare and contrast the sources of and disposal/storage requirements for high-level waste and transuranic waste. Energy Sources 31
11 3 Enrichment Wind Energy U.S. federal tax credits supported the early growth of the wind energy industry. The nation s capacity to produce electricity from wind was only 10,000 kilowatt-hours (kwh) in That is about enough to provide power for two homes. Despite the 1985 expiration of these tax credits, by 1989 the capacity had increased to more than 2 billion kwh. That is enough to power the residential energy needs of a major city the size of Washington, D.C. or San Francisco. The majority of the growth in wind energy use occurred in California. Over 14,000 privately owned and operated wind turbines are located there. These turbines are located in three mountain passes and make up about 80 percent of the world s current wind-energy capacity. Use the library, or sources such as your state s energy department, NASA, or the American Wind Energy Association to answer the following questions. 1. Where are the best places to put wind turbines to efficiently produce electricity? 2. What does it cost to produce electricity using wind turbines? 3. What are some of the advantages of using wind turbines to produce electricity? 4. What are some of the disadvantages of using wind turbines? 5. What applications, other than producing electricity, can wind turbines be used for? 32 Energy Sources
