peer agreement (net): +2covered with (plastic/PVC?) sheets Explanation: At the bottom of page 107 of the document: 5.4.3.4. Waste management during the emergency phase The materials generated during the early remediation of land, buildings, agricultural land, forests, dams, and so on, were temporarily stored at designated places. Contaminated materials were packed in weatherproof sandbags or waterproof bags and placed on plastic sheets on the ground. The collection was then covered with plastic sheets, and sandbags were placed on the plastic sheet to provide radiation shielding. Contaminated disaster waste, in particular, was segregated by dose rate. Enhanced shielding measures were also taken to reduce dose rates [176]. A wide range of focused remediation projects were rapidly initiated by municipalities and local communities during the emergency phase for specific areas (schools, playgrounds, public land, trees/forests, roof surfaces and gutters, drainage systems, roads, etc.). http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/Publications/PDF/AdditionalVolu... https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=EhyvDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA58&lpg... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2016-12-17 22:08:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.ebertconst.com/files/6814/3145/9647/Wayzata_HS_Ad... The reference above mentions moisture retaining covers used for curing. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2016-12-17 22:15:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I'm trying to find an explanation of the sheet curing process. It entails covering the rubble with a sheet, with or without a curing agent. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2016-12-17 22:19:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Curing allowing partially composted materials to sit in a pile for a specified period of time as part of the maturing process in composting. http://www.gdrc.org/uem/waste/swm-glossary.html But in this case, the rubble is covered by a sheet. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2016-12-17 23:08:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes, I am quite sure. I have only given my answer a confidence level of 3 because I haven't been able to find any references in which the sheet curing process is explained. All the documents I've found are over 500 pages long and I don't have time to read through all of them. Hopefully someone will be able to confirm I'm right or suggest an alternative solution, although I'm sure the rubble is covered with sheets. What I don't know is the material the sheets are made of, or whether a curing agent is added to the rubble. |
