CRITICALITY PROTECTION

In this section a survey is given of the critical protection potentials as well as the critical potential ranges for a possible application of electrochemical protection. The compilation is divided into four groups for both cathodic and anodic protection with and without a limitation of the protection range to more negative or more positive potentials respectively.

Requirements for the use of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are defined in NFPA 86 (sect. 5-3). All critical protection interlocks (e.g., combustion safety interlocks, flame supervision, high and low oxygen and fuel flow interlocks, excessive temperature limits, etc.) shall be wired to de-energize the safety shutoff valves directly, and their operations shall result in a safe system condition. 

This approach has received more attention because the protected cells have a selective advantage over the non-transduced ones. Therefore, the requirement for a very high efficient transduction rate is less critical. Protected T cells should be used to repopulate the immune system with virus-resistant cells, and gene transfer to hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) is a promising approach to achieve this goal [34] (see also Part II, Chapter 8). However, it is still unclear whether the repopulated immune system would be able to generate a diversity of anti-... 

As discussed for metronidazole, nifurtimox is thought to undergo reduction followed by oxidation and, in the process, generate ROS, such as the superoxide radical anion, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radical (Fig. 39.3) (5). These species are potent oxidants, producing oxidative stress that may produce damage to DNA and lipids that may affect cellular membranes. In addition, Henderson et al. (27) have reported that nifurtimox inhibits trypanothione reductase, which results in the inhibition of trypanothione formation (93% inhibition). Trypanothione is a critical protective enzyme found uniquely in trypanosomal parasites. 

The Uniform Listing of K.Reactor Systems. Acronvms imd Functional Classifications (Refl 4-23) provides a current and complete tabulation of Nuclear SafeQr (NSX Critical Protection (CP), Production Support (PS), and General Sernces (GS) system titles, acronyms, and associated foncdonal claskfications for principal structures and components. The fimctional classification (i,e., NS, CP, PS, or GS) of stnictures, systems, and components are provided for Cold Standby. The report specifies the systems which have had their fimctional classifications changed due to the lay-up of the K-Reactor. The report provides fimctional descriptions of each system during Cold Standby and the classification justifications. 

Electrically connect the Faraday cage to a low-impedance voltage source that follows the critical (protected) voltage. 

BPCS is a system which handles process control and monitoring for oil and gas facilities. SIS is a system composed of sensors, logic solvers and final elements to keep people , environment , assets in safe conditions during operation periods often oil and gas facility. Physicd mitigation system is a system which consists of active fire protection and fire/blast walls. Among the various multiple protection layers, SIS is the most important and critical protection layer to prevent or reduce the risk of abnormal process condition which may be hazardous. A variety of SISs are installed in the oil and gas plants such as fire gas system, emergency shutdown system and process shutdown system. SIS is the next layer of protection following BPCS and alarm/operator intervention. 

Alarm limit changes should be carefully considered and well-documented. Changes for critical protective alarms should be approved via an MOC order. 

This can be used where critical protection functions can be sensibly isolated, are small and can be easily encapsulated - and this may be based on assmnptions that should be verified. 

The realization of many users that conventional controllers cannot be depended upon in critical protection applications creates the need for safety PLCs. The standards are high for safety PLC design, manufacture and installation. Anything less than these high standards will soon be considered irresponsible, if not negligent, from a business, professional and social point of view. From a paper by Dr. William M.
