Despite such uncertainties, a chemical weapons reduction agreement17 was reached in 1990 between the United States and the Soviet Union that will (1) effectively stop chemical weapon production and (2) reduce each nation s chemical agent stocks to a value of 5,000 metric tons by the year 1999 (by the end of the year 2002, this number will fall to 500 tons). Destruction of the remainder is contingent on a commitment for similar, total chemical warfare stock elimination by other chemical warfare-capable nations.18,19... 

Other nuclear-capable nations. The United States stockpiled ADMs in Europe as early as 1955. All such stockpiles were removed to the United States by 1985. See also MONTEBELLO DECISION SEWER PIPE SPECIAL ATOMIC DEMOLITION MUNITION (SADM). 

Research on an hCG vaccine has been conducted over the past 15 years. WHO has conducted a phase I clinical study in AustraUa, using a vaccine based on a synthetic C-terminal peptide (109—141) of P-hCG conjugated to Diptheria Toxoid (CTP-DT), that showed potentially effective contraceptive levels of antibodies were produced in vaccinated women without any adverse side effects. Phase II clinical studies are under consideration to determine if the immune response, raised to its prototype anti-hCG vaccine, is capable of preventing pregnancy in fertile women volunteers (115). While research on the C-terminal peptide from the P-subunit of hCG has been carried out under the auspices of WHO, research supported by the Population Council and the National Institutes of Health has involved two alternative vaccine candidates (109,116,118). 

When assessing potential tollers for a project where an international presence is prescribed or simply expanding your selection of available tollers, the same basic approach presented here can be used. However, some elements may need to be implemented differently, expanded, or combined to accurately depict a toller s capabilities when crossing national and cultural boundaries. A client should still seek the same ethics regarding safety, environmental responsibility, quality and contractual obligations as described previously. 

Because mobile sources of air pollution are capable of moving from one local jurisdiction to another, they are usually regulated by the national government. In the United States, state or local agencies can have more restrictive standards, if they choose. Through 1990, only the state of California had established standards more restrictive than the U.S. federal standards, and these only for gasoline-powered automobiles. 

This requirement is similar to that stated in clause 4.11.2 of the standard and addressed later in this chapter. The checks and rechecks required to prove that the software is capable of verifying the acceptability of product are a means of calibrating test software. However, test software does not wear or drift with age or use and so cannot be calibrated against a standard traceable to national standards. To control test software you need to consider what it is that you need to control. As a minimum you should control its use, modification, location (in terms of where it is installed), replication, and disposal. Requirements for other controls are covered in clause 4.11.2 of the standard, where they can be applied to test software. 

The development of tlie emergency planning and response actions under CERCLA is based primarily on a national contingency plan that was developed under the Clean Water Act. Although the actions of CERCLA liave the capabilities to handle haziirdous and toxic releases, tlie act was primarily directed tow ard the cleanup of abandoned haztirdous waste sites. 

The Clean Air Act of 1970 set new standards that went beyond the capabilities of the then existing technology, and spurred a very intensive research effort. The Clean Air Act also called for a study by the National Academy of Sciences of the technological feasibility of meeting the emission standards. On April 11, 1973 William D. Ruckelshaus, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, announced a delay in enforcing the 1975 standard by one year, to be replaced by an interim standard for California and a more relaxed interim standard for the rest of the forty-nine states. 

A further resolution of the higher oxidation states in aquatic systems occurred in 1978 when scientists at Argonne National Laboratory(20) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory(21) independently established the capability to identify Pu(V) as the oxidized form that exists in natural waters. Both methods are based upon preferential adsorption on finely divided solids. In the Argonne procedure, adapted from a Japanese method for determining Np(V)(22), Pu(IV) and Pu(VI) adsorb onto silicic acid while Pu(V) does not. The Argonne scientists also have shown that the oxidized form of plutonium in natural waters carries on CaC03 when it is formed by...
