Containing the Cold War's hot waste

Article Abstract:

High-energy jet grouting agents whose thermodynamic stability is known to last for thousands of years can be injected beneath earth pits containing radioactive wastes. The US Department of Energy buried approximately 4 mil cubic yards of radioactive waste generated during the Cold War and the potential for contamination is significant.

Traffic-calming basics

Article Abstract:

Issues discussed concern traffic engineering on residential streets, focusing on how civil engineers can manage the speed and volume of traffic. Topics addressed include 'traffic calming' or design measures that reduce the negative aspects of vehicle use, speed control measures, and how local traffic calming measures are introduced.
