When a metallic material of construction (MOC) is selected to contain, transport, and/or to be exposed to a specific chemical, unless we make a correct, viable, and optimum MOC selection, the hfe expectancy of those facihties, in a given chemical exposure, can be very short. For the inexperienced in this field, the direct capital costs of the MOC facet of the production of chemicals, the funds spent to maintain these facilities (sometimes several times those initial capital costs), the indirect costs that are associated with outages and loss of production, off-quahty product (because of equipment and facility maintenance) as well as from contamination of the product, etc., are many times not even considered, let alone used as one of the major criteria in the selection of that MOC as well as its costs to keep the plant running, i.e., a much overlooked cost figure in the CPI. To emphasize the magnitude and overall economic nature of the direct and indirect (nonproductive) costs/losses that result from the action of corrosion of our metallic facihties, equipment, and the infrastructures, within the United States, Congress has mandated that a survey of the costs of corrosion in the United States be conducted periodically.

Tables 4 and 5 rehect anticipated process wastewater inhuent and effluent for the model rehnery noted in the second section. These values rehect data collected and analyzed by the author from over hfty facilities in North America and elsewhere. The values rehect average conditions and values, with reasonably good operations control and facility maintenance. Note that each table has a reference point within the process, as shown on Figure 4.

From this comparison, it is evident that the free-market regime is not always able to ensure lower costs. Furthermore, it has to be considered that, in this regime, only what is economieally convenient is collected. For a complete comparison, one has to take into account such factors as power, ecological costs, taxes, facility maintenance, etc.

The HCF maintenance management program is described in the SNL/NM Nuclear Facility Maintenance Implementation Plan (MIP) in (SNL 1997) and the SNL/NM Site Maintenance Plan (SNL 1993). Maintenance activities for the HCF are conducted by the three groups mentioned above that is, HCF personnel, ES H Center personnel, and FOE Center personnel. The scope of SSCs for which maintenance will be performed is established by the latest edition of the HCF Master Equipment List (MEL). This list differentiates between safety-related and nonsafety-related SSCs and specifically identifies those SSCs for which TSR surveillance requirements have been established, it also identifies the organization responsible for performing maintenance on each item.
