| The storage and transport of a dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) was evaluated using a numerical model. Many DNAPLs are used as solvents by the DoD and industry. The improper disposal and handling of these chemicals has led to long term contamination of groundwater. When spilled, a DNAPL will pool atop low permeability layers and slowly dissolve creating a contaminant plume. The dissolved contaminant within a low permeability layer serves ... |

| The U.S. Air Force (USAF) asked the RAND Corporation to analyze the desirability of storing government-funded, production-only tooling when production of the C-17A cargo aircraft ends. To address this question, we focused on weapon system-specific production-only tooling, i.e., tooling not used in weapon system sustainment and useful only for producing C-17s, that is, not readily convertible for use on a different weapon system. Immediate disposal of weapon system-specific production-only tooling ... |
