Acceptable consequences

The concept appeared to be widely accepted. Consequently, we left this area for other studies. 

Minor incidents—Infrequent occurrence of these accidents or near misses have acceptable consequences but recurring occurrences of this magnitude may warrant an investigation.

In actual cases, the radii of the secondary particles, S., are not uniform (that Is, Is not constant), and an approximate equation (Equation 18) Is not always acceptable. Consequently, the theoretical value of K(r) given by Equation 32 shows a somewhat sharper distribution than that of an actual case. Equation 32 reveals that 1-th order mean pore radius r, defined by... 

Recovery of uranium from leach liquors. Uranium may be recovered from leach liquors by precipitation, ion exchange, or solvent extraction. Precipitation with sodium hydroxide was the recovery method used in the first uranium mills. When used on sodium carbonate leach liquors, the uranium precipitate is fairly free of other metallic contaminants, because sodium carbonate dissolves few other metals beside uranium. However, when used in sulfuric acid leach liquors, the uranium precipitate contains other metals, such as iron dissolved from the ore by the add, and is no longer commercially acceptable. Consequently, in the United States, uranium mills emfdoying add leaching now follow it with selective recovery by either solvent extraction or ion exchange. These processes are described in Secs. 8.5 and 8.6, respectively. 

Accidents must be shown to have acceptable consequences, not only if the safety systems work, but also if any safety system is unavailable or impaired. For example, in most other reactors, a loss-of-coolant accident coupled with prolonged unavailability of the emergency core cooling system, would result in melting of the reactor fuel. In CANDU this sequence would lead to damaged fiiel but no meltdown. This overall safety approach is achievable because there are at least two ways of providing the safety functions of shutdown and decay heat removal. 

Thirdly, every postulated accident which releases radioactivity must be shown to have acceptable consequences even if any one of the special safety systems fail to fimction, including the active components in the containment system (e.g., ventilation dampers fail to close). 

The station services power supplies are classified according to their required levels of reliability. The reliability requirement of these power supplies is divided into four classes that range from uninterruptible power to power that can be interrupted with limited and acceptable consequences. The electric power system station services comprise the supply systems described below. 

Unless you are independently wealthy, willing to mortgage your future, or find a way to make money quickly, you wiU need to raise money at some point. Raising money could mean giving up control of your company (if the investor ends up owning more than 50% of the stock). Ask yourself is this an acceptable consequence and/or are the values of the investors consistent with yours. 

Figure 5.1.4 places the hazards and technologies in a two-by-two matrix. The vertical axis looks at the extent to which the hazard or technology is familiar or known. The horizontal axis considers the extent to which they are seen as local and controllable risks with acceptable consequences or, at the other end of the scale, risks with high potential consequences where there is seen to be a lack of control. 

Another less readily accepted consequence of malolactic fermentation is an improvement in biological stability caused by bacteria that eliminate highly unstable malic acid, which results in an increase in pH. 

From the point of view of more precise reliability analysis, developed methods should be based on a multi-state approach (Kolowrocki 2014, Kolowrocki Soszyhska-Budny 2011, Xue 1985, Xue Yang 1995a, b, Yu et al. 1994) instead of normally used two-state approach. This will enable different complex system s inside and outside reliabiUty states to be distinguished, such that they ensure a demanded level of system operation effectiveness with accepted consequences of their dangerous accidents. 

The influence of the organic matter from soils and sediments on the soiption behavior of organic chemicals is accepted. Consequently, the soiption partition coefficient Kp is generally related to the fraction of organic carbon foe) associated with the sorbent to yield an organic-carbon (OC) partition coefficient, Koe. ... 

Today I ask members to take the moral high ground. I ask members to refuse to accept that death and serious injury are an inevitable result of using our road system they are certainly not acceptable consequences. Towards Zero is our bold new road safety strategy for Western Australia, and its core theme is that we should never accept road trauma as a fact of life. It will challenge us to strive for zero deaths and serious injuries on our roads. °...
