Abstract

The rate of deposition of sediment on the floodplain area is one of the constituent component of the sediment budget in watersheds. Therefore, the sedimentation rate estimation has been made in two locations of the floodplains based on the age sediment obtained using Pb-210 excess technique. Sediment cores were taken in the Ciujung Hulu River floodplain every 10 cm depth intervals up to a depth of 120 cm. Sediment was obtained then dried, disaggregated, sifted, weighing 150–300 gr, placed into the special containers and tightly closed. After a month in a sealed condition, samples were measured using gamma spectrometer Multichannel analyzer (MCA) to find out the activity of Pb-210 total and Pb-210 supported. Based on the data of Pb-210 total and Pb-210 supported, there are three different ways to get Pb-210 excess profiles. Obtained Pb-210 excess data is used to calculate the age of the sediments on the basis of the method of constant rate of supply (CRS). Through the age of sediment layers, can be recognized the existence of transitional zone of sediment deposition rate at both locations. The rate of sedimentation ranged from 1.028 cm/year from the years 1968–1987, and rose to about 2.83 cm/year from the years 1987–2016 (28.95 years) at location 1. While in location 2, the rate of sedimentation ranged 0.676 cm/year from the years 1950–1993, and rose to about 3.231 cm/year from the years 1993–2016 (2 years).

Abstract

The separation of radioactive and rare earth mineral carried out in PLUTHO produces waste that still contains thorium and uranium. The resulting waste requires further processing to be environmentally friendly. The purpose of study is to reduce thorium content and radioactivity in liquid waste of PLUTHO monazite treatment process using ferro sulphate coagulant. PLUTHO Pilot Plant is one of facility that built to dissociate uranium, thorium and light rare earth from mineral of monazite. Variations of treatments applied in the research are coagulant dosage and pH. Thorium content is measured by Spectrophotometer UV-Vis method, whereas radioactivity is measured by radiation counting meter Ludlum Model 1000 Scaler. The result shows that the optimum condition of coagulation is in pH 8,0 with concentration of ferro sulphate 225 mg/L which may reduce thorium content up to 45,20 % and reduce radioactivity to 100 % out of its initial thorium content and radioactivity as much as 0,73 mg/L and 1,35 Bq/g, respectively.

Abstract

Groundwater research has been conducted in Nuclear Area of Pasar Jumat (KNPJ) using hydrochemical data and natural isotopes methods. The research was conducted by taking a number of water samples in some areas of KNPJ and also its surrounding areas. The water samples were then analyzed its hydrochemical concentration (anion-cation) and natural isotope concentration d2H and d18O using lasser counter device. Water chemical analysis was conducted by using ion chromatography and titration methods. The purpose of this research is to know the characteristics of groundwater to the possibility of its interaction with the surrounding surface water. Based on the results of hydrochemical analysis (anion-cation) and natural isotopes (d2H, d18O) indicates that groundwater still reflects the character as fresh groundwater or freshwater. The deep aquifer groundwater is also indicated to be unrelated to groundwater of shallow aquifers located above it. While most shallow groundwater still show the character of fresh groundwater, and some others namely SB-8, SB-9, and SB-10, the groundwater undergo ion exchanges and interact with surface water. Surface water for SB-8 is estimated come from the seepage of the liquid plant fertilizer, whereas for SB-9 and SB-10 surface water is estimated come from septic tank seepage.

Abstract

Management area of leadership and commitment in the quality management system is a mean to achieve successful functions, even more on construction industry. The objective of this research is to analyze the correlation between leadership and commitment focus management area and quality performance as indicated by rework. Research location is uranium (U), thorium (Th), and rare earth elements (REE) processing pilot plant construction area in Center for Nuclear Minerals Technology-BATAN. Primary data were collected from the 36 of 37 submitted questionnaires, and representing 97 % response rate. The research used descriptive analysis, which depends on the poll and the use of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) main program for data analysis. The relationship between leadership and commitment and quality performance was analyzed using spearman rank correlation coefficient. Findings of research provide guideline and alert to project managers or management of organization where leadership, commitment, infrastructure, and environmental work have moderate to strong correlation to rework level. The results further revealed that there is no relationship between responsibility and authority for the management system and organizational policy and construction quality performance. The research provides evidence, in fact to achieve the quality performance of a pilot plant construction must be concerned with leadership attribute, maintaining commitment and provide support resources on the whole project cycle.

Abstract

Granitoid outcrop has been observed in Montongan, Tulakan Subdistrict, Pacitan District, East Java. Geochemically, granitoid shows peralluminous S-type granitoid which consists of comparable plagioclase and potassium feldspar leading to adamelite and granodiorite variety with andalusite, fine size corundum and cordierite inside. These modal minerals are consistent with its bulk chemical analysis result that shows alumina rich rock. Highly weathered spotted pinkish soil with remaining quartz gravels characterizes its surface. Lateritic pink soil up to more than 25 meters thick covers the granitoid body and this feature is indicative to locate its surface distribution, while its subsurface distribution is remain uncertain. The research aimed to identify granitoid subsurface distribution. To identify the subsurface body, gravity and seismic tomography models were used. According gravity model, the pluton body is 5 km wide which is rootless downward and seems extends eastward. Meanwhile, the north-south seismic tomographic model across Pacitan Region indicates dense solid body override the recent Java subduction zone. The body is assumed to have correlation with surface granitic rock. It supports an idea that there is a micro continent trapped beneath Southern Mountain of East Java.

Abstract

Monazite (Ce, La, Nd, Th)PO4 with thorium (Th) content between 3-4 % is significant enough to be processed to produce Th. The initial treatments conducted by using carbonate base reagents (Na2CO3) for monazite leaching to fetch the uranium. The remaining tailings were dissolved with sulfuric acid to produce Th(SO4)2 solution which is then purified from its impurities. The processing is carried out continuously using a mixer settler with the process steps include Th extraction, Th stripping, and organic solvents regeneration. Thorium extraction uses a primene JM-T (RNH2) organic solvent which is a mixture of 0.15M Primene JM; 5% Tridecanol and 95% Kerosine. Meanwhile, the Th stripping process uses 2M HCl solution. For efficiency, regeneration of organic solvents uses 1% H2SO4. To obtain a high recovery and purity from Th, it is necessary to calculate the number of stage mixer settlers using the McCabe Thiele method. Based on the calculation, the number of stage for extraction process, Th stripping, and organic solvents regeneration are 3, 3, and 2 respectively. The total recovery of Th is obtained at 84.90 % where product purity reaches 99.02 %

Abstract

Mamuju is an area that has a high dose rate (radioactivity) value. The research area consists of 6 sectors namely Ahu, Orobatu, Takandeang, Botteng, Pangasaan, and Taan Sector. Lithological distribution does not represent the distribution of uranium; therefore geochemical method is needed to observe the distribution of uranium in the drainage system. The aim of this research is to provide an overview of the mobility and distribution of uranium in the drainage system using stream sediment. Uranium mobility analysis uses labile percent obtained from the ratio of total uranium and labile uranium, the total uranium value obtained from the measurement of X-Ray fluorescence spectrometry and the value of labile uranium obtained from measurement of labile fluorimetry. The sample taken from 4 potential areas based on radiometric value Map. The result of analysis shows that Ahu Sector has labile uranium anomaly >113.44 ppm, Pangasaan Sector with labile uranium anomaly >168.63 ppm, Takandeang Sector with uranium labile anomaly values >74.36 ppm, and Botteng Sector with uranium labile anomaly >84.23 ppm. The anomaly types identified from two sectors, namely Ahu Sector anomaly is related to the precipitation of dissolved uranium hydrolysates in stream deposit originating from Ahu lava and Tapalang breccia, while Takandeang Sector anomaly is related to the enrichment of in situ uranium in soil and Takandeang lava.

Abstract

The area of Center for Research in Science and Technology (PUSPIPTEK) Serpong is 460 hectares wide. Most of the area is a Green Open Spaces (RTH). In the line with the growth of research activities, the need for infrastructure and building facilities also increases. As a national strategic facility, it is necessary to design buildings that are sturdy for and suitable with subsurface conditions. Geolectrical survey can be used to determine of subsurface condition/information. The purpose of this study is to obtain the ilustration of subsurface, based on the distribution of geoelectric resistivity values in the site of Experimental Power Reactor (RDE) construction. The resistivity data acquisition is using a multichannel resistivitymeter MAE X612EM+ type in 2-D by 48 channel of Wenner-Schlumberger configuration. The numbers of elctrodes used are 48 with an electrode interval of 5 m. Based on 2-D inversion model, there are four section models obtained, namely line-1, line 2, line-3, and line-4. The data error for each section is relatively small, less than 12%. Geological interpretation carried out in the section line-2 and line-3 illustrates the existence of layers A, B, and C. Layer A is interpreted as rock with silt to clay grain size containing organic material with resistivity values range 2-20 ohm-m and thickness varries in 1-7 m. Layer B is interpreted as sandstone which has a range of resistivity values from 10-90 ohm-m with thickness variations 5-20 m. Layer C is interpreted as claystone which has a range of resistivity values from 2-5000 ohm-m with depth variation in 10-20 m.
