Countermeasures Carried Out

In the lightning surge case, the number of countermeasures carried out is 94, which is only 43% of the total disturbances (220 cases), because a disturbance because of the lightning is mostly permanent, that is, breakdown of the disturbed circuit (element). Thus, the circuit is replaced by a

The total number of countermeasure carried out is 153 cases (51%) out of the 279 total number of disturbance cases as in Figure 6.6 except 28 cases that were not clear if a countermeasure or repair was carried out. 

FoIIow-up checks It is important to be aware of the pharmacological characteristics of diuretics and to carry out check-ups during diuretic therapy at short intervals, so that countermeasures can be initiated early enough in the event of therapeutic derailment. Intervals between check-ups as well as the diuretic dosage depend on the success of the treatment and the course of disease ... 

It is recommended that food analyses be based on the determination of radionuclides in individual food items rather than a mixed diet sample. Only the analysis of individual foodstuffs can indicate whether and which countermeasures should be taken to reduce doses. Food sampling for estimation of total consumption should be carried out at the retail level when appropriate otherwise, it should be carried out at the consumption level. The selection of foods to be sampled can be based on individual diet or food consumption statistics. Analyses of individual foodstuffs should preferably be performed after preparation, taking into account the effect of kitchen activities such as washing, cleaning and cooking. 

Step 4 Prioritize the Work. Unless your company needs to consider only one easily demarcated facility, it is important to prioritize your efforts to analyze vulnerability and implement security countermeasures. Prioritization should take into account the attractiveness of the asset or target, the difficulty with which an attack could be carried out, and the potential damage that could result. In the simplest form, attractiveness, ease, and damage could be ranked on a qualitative scale (e.g., 1-3), then the three scores summed. Screening approaches with more detailed scales may also be used if finer detail is needed. 

The probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) for the steam reforming process was carried out to investigate the cause of an accident on combustible gas leak and a conceptual design on a countermeasure against explosion was carried out aiming at reducing the probability ofthe combustible gas leak less than 10-6/year. The rupture of combustible gas pipes is considered as the cause of the leakage. 

Here the active component in the catalyst has a finite vapor pressure and is carried out of the reactor. Examples are the loss of M0O3 from Keggin-type heteropolyacids (vanadomolybdatophosphates) and the loss of HgClj as the catalytically active species in the production of vinyl chloride from ethylene and HCl. A possible countermeasure is saturation of the feed with the active component. 

The unexpected vibration problems and severe bearing damages were a large part of the cause of the unplanned plant shutdowns. However, the countermeasures taken were so effective that the problem of the rotor oscillations is considered solved. After having carried out the above modifications new measurements were taken for the total turboset and especially for the HP-set. 

The 11th periodical inspection of Joyo has finished on March 24th 1997. In this period enforcement of some countermeasures against sodium leak has been carried out based on the lessons learned from the sodium leakage accident of Monju, as follows ... 

Evacuation is the most common public protective action for emergencies involving possible release of hazardous materials. Evacuations are common and people do not panic and travel during an evacuation is safer than normal travel. Evacuation is the most effective protective action, provided that it can be implemented before or soon after a release begins. Evacuation after a release is an effective countermeasure against irradiation from contaminated ground, which can be an important source of exposure. Evacuation can be effective even if carried out in a plume for a long-duration release and for areas close to the release. Normally, evacuation should not be considered for more than seven days. 

The development of the sub-plan follows a logical sequence. A list of potential hazards (e.g. fires, explosions, floods) is compiled. The possible major consequences of each is identified (e.g. casualties, damage). Required countermeasures are determined (e.g. evacuation, rescue, firefighting). Resources needed to carry out the plaimed actions are listed (e.g. medical supplies, rescue equipment, personnel). Based on these considerations, the emergency procedures can be established. Communication, training, and periodic drills are required to ensure adequate performance when the plan must be implemented. 

The Buccaneer, with its capacity to carry nuclear weapons, was central to the Admiralty s vision of the aircraft carrier as the modem equivalent of the capital ship. In a remarkable paper, dated 2 March 1954, the Admiralty set out its views on expected trends in naval weapons down to the end of 1965. The news of the American hydrogen-bomb tests came too late to influence the paper, which, however, assumed that atomic weapons would be plentiful that the importance of air attack would increase but that long-range detection of submarines and torpedo countermeasures would reduce the underwater threat to surface ships. It was predicted that by the 1960s carrier-borne aircraft would carry nuclear weapons and would contribute to the strategic air offensive aircraft and 200-mile-range anti-ship missiles would have begun to...
