In 1976 the Swedish government stipulated that no new nuclear reactors should be charged until it had been shown how the radioactive waste products could be taken care of in an "absolutely safe manner" (8). Consequently, the nuclear power industry (through their joint Nuclear Fuel Supply Co, SKBF) embarked on a program referred to as the Nuclear Fuel Safety (KBS) Project (8). In one of the schemes (9) a repository for spent nuclear fuel elements in envisaged at a depth of 500 m in granitic bedrock. The repository will ultimately contain 6000 tonnes of uranium and 45 tonnes of plutonium. The spent fuel elements will be stored in copper cylinders (0.8 m in diameter and 4.7 m in length) with a wall thickness of 200 mm the void will be filled with lead.

The Nuclear Fuel Safety Project (Karnbranslesakerhet, KBS) was started in December 1976 with the purpose of studying all important aspects of waste disposal in Sweden. Two different alternatives for final storage of HLW and SUF, respectively, have so far been suggested and studied in detail by KBS Q). Some data for these two concepts are given in Table I and in Figure 1.

These reports are based on 120 technical reports (here denoted by KBS TR) on different technical aspects of waste treatment and ground disposal. More than 70 university departments and consulting companies in Sweden and abroad have been engaged in the preparation of these reports. The research on storage of radioactive waste in the ground is still in progress, both within the Nuclear Fuel Safety Project but also within a Swedish-American joint project between Swedish Nuclear Fuel Supply Co(Svensk Karnbranslefdrsorjning AB, SKBF), Fack, S-10240 Stockholm, Sweden, and Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Earth Science Division, University of California, Berkeley.

The following reports and organizations have additional and more detailed information about alternative fuel safety, refueling facility installation, and facility modifications to safely store and maintain alternative fuel vehicles. 

Although the PUREX process is regarded as a well-matured chemical technology in the nuclear industry, owing to its complex chemistry, high radiation field, evolution of the fuels to be processed (i.e., extended high burn-up and MOX fuel), safety and economical issues, and its principal position in establishing the nuclear fuel cycle, both fundamental and application studies have been continued. 

It is not the purpose of this paper to evaluate the suitability of methanol as a fuel for gas turbines. Consequently, no attention will be given to such factors as the cost of methanol fuel, safety considerations of exchanging heat between hot exhaust gases and fuel, and the dynamics of the complex cycle with recuperative chemical reactions. The purpose of this paper is to outline the thermodynamic Implications of chemical recuperation using methanol fuel as an example.

Aerospace applications require a range of sensor technology to enable improved performance, increased safety, better awareness of the vehicle health state, and to enable increased automation and autonomy [3]. The following are three examples of aerospace applications involving the detection of gas species one associated with space propulsimi and fuel safety, one related to aircraft emissions monitoring, and the third involves both space and aircraft fire detection. Briefly described is each application as well as the shortcomings of traditional technology.
