MAK is used as a high soHds coating solvent (163) and in fragrances. It is available in the United States from Eastman (Kingsport, Teimessee), International Chemical Group (La Mesa, California) (47), and Union Carbide (South Charleston, West Virginia), and was priced at 1.36/kg in October 1994. 

Launched ia 1959, N. A. Savannah operated very weU. Starting ia 1962, it made a goodwill voyage around the world. It was able to travel a distance of several times the earth s circumference on one fuel loading. However, the ship was not competitive economically with oil-powered merchant ships. The shielding was quite adequate, so that the reactor was safe. Nonetheless the vessel was opposed by antinuclear groups and the N.A. Savannah was eventually retired and put on display ia Charleston, South Carolina. In 1994, the ship was transferred to Norfolk, Virginia, to be held ia reserve.

C-21 dicarboxyhc acids are produced by Westvaco Corporation in Charleston, South Carolina in multimillion kg quantities. The process involves reaction of tall oil fatty acids (TOFA) (containing about 50% oleic acid and 50% hnoleic acid) with acryhc acid [79-10-7] and iodine at 220—250°C for about 2 hours (90). A yield of C-21 as high as 42% was reported. The function of the iodine is apparendy to conjugate the double bond in linoleic acid, after which the acryhc acid adds via a Diels-Alder type reaction to form the cycHc reaction product. Other catalysts have been described and include clay (91), palladium, and sulfur dioxide (92). After the reaction is complete, the unreacted oleic acid is removed by distillation, and the cmde C-21 diacid can be further purified by thin film distillation or molecular distillation.

An explosion and fire at an Albright Wilson Americas phosphorus chemicals plant in Charleston, SC (June 17, 1991) killed six and injured 33. The damaged unit lost part of its walls and roof Eight other units on the 200 employee site, sustained minor or no damage, but were shutdown for a few days. At the time of the accident, plant workers were mixing chemicals in the No. 2 reactor in the special products unit when an explosion and fire occurred. Five of the people killed were contract employees not directly involved with the reactor, but were installing insulation nearby.
