GDY's steam analysis- No increased Radon/Uranium
Recently in an ongoing discussion in a shares forum a rather ill informed person was making claims as to the detriemental effects of Enhanced Geothermal Systems for the provision of heat for power generation.....
His view was: "that PTR and GDY are going to cause a lot of pollution by releasing uranium and radon into the atmosphere/groundwater" I asked Geodynamics the following: "It seems highly likely that GDY did some analysis of the steam that was accidently released with the well head blow out. If that is the case could you get something out to allay these rather silly ideas." This is their response: For your info, we monitored for Radon including personnel dosimeters on workers during the blow out. Levels were far below that required for health standards of workers. Previously radon was monitored down-wind of steam flow to atmosphere; there was no significant difference between levels while the steam flowed and when steam was not flowing. There was a correlation of radon with respect to wind speed, but this was natural radon normally present in the air. The fluid has also been analysed for uranium returning levels below detection limit (<0.00036 parts per million). During normal operation the fluid is returned to the reservoir so no deep materials are released into the atmosphere. IMO It is time that the knockers did some real analysis of the facts and to stop their imaginations running away with tales based on unfounded ideas.
