Current law

It is usual to define the primary beam current the BSE current /rse, the SE current and the sample current transmitted through the specimen to ground such that the Kirchoff current law holds ... 

Country of Origin Current law Senate bill (1910 census) Johnson Act (1890 census)... 

Moreover, under current laws, there is little opportunity for examining the totality of exposure to a single substance from all media, which is necessary if we are to acquire a picture of its total risk, and identify those sources that are the greatest contributors to that total risk. Risk decisions for chemicals in specific media are sometimes taken in isolation from decisions about the same chemicals in other media, and this practice is encouraged because of the diverse requirements of our laws and the artificial barriers they create. 

The regulation of both arsenic by the EPA and acrylonitrile by OSHA is estimated to have cost over 100 million per life saved. The massive irrationality suggested by those two examples is reduced, however, when more cases are analyzed. Empirical analyses of bureaucratic decisions on exposure suggest that regulators weigh costs and benefits even though they are forbidden to do so under current law. 

Evolution of Current Law. Congressional Digest 82, no. 9 (November 2003) 260-261. This chronology through 2000 presents milestones in the history of prescription drug laws. 

In order to combine the transfer functions, the relation between V (s), the summing resistors, and the other voltages is required. From Kirchhoff s current law, this equation is... 

Under current laws, there are no tax advantages to the preparation of a trust. 

The court s ruling passes the question of marijuana s medical future to Congress, which would have to rewrite current laws to allow it to be used therapeutically. In response, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) introduced a bill to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule II drug, which would permit physicians to prescribe it for their patients if state law permitted its use. 

Evaluation of the risk index (RI) in Equation 1.1 or 1.2 requires assumptions about allowable risks or doses from waste disposal to be used in defining the different waste classes (see Section 1.4.1). These assumptions should be based on an understanding of differences in the approaches to risk management for radionuclides and hazardous chemicals embodied in current laws and regulations, including the different meanings that have been attached to the terms acceptable and unacceptable commonly used to describe the significance of health risks. 

Development of the generally applicable and risk-based waste classification system recommended by NCRP would have a number of important implications with regard to current laws and regulations ... 

Under current laws and regulations, many radioactive and hazardous chemical wastes are classified based on their source, rather than their radiological or toxicological properties. Development of a risk-based waste classification system would require elimination of source-based waste classifications. 

Under current law and regulations, particular disposal systems generally are not required for any waste class, but only certain systems are authorized in law. Disposal systems other than those listed, such as greater confinement disposal at depths intermediate between a near-surface facility and a geologic repository, may be used for some wastes. 

In summary, in accordance with current laws and regulations, high-level radioactive waste essentially can be defined as follows ... 

Requirements for Disposal and Their Relationship to Waste Classification. Under current laws and regulations, spent fuel, high-level waste, transuranic waste, and low-level waste generally do not require particular disposal systems. However, only certain types of disposal systems are authorized for some types of waste (see Table 4.1). In particular (1) spent fuel, high-level waste, transuranic waste, and greater-than-Class-C low-level waste normally are intended for disposal in a geologic repository, such as the proposed Yucca Mountain facility and the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant and... 

NCRP recognizes that if the waste classification system described in this Report is to gain acceptance, it must be broadly compatible with current approaches to management and disposal of hazardous wastes. However, NCRP believes that development of a new waste classification system to address deficiencies in the existing systems should not be constrained by provisions of current laws or regulations...
