Government shut-down

A commercial-scale SNG plant, the Great Plains Plant in North Dakota, was actually built and operated for several years using a scheme based on coal. However, upon termination of the government subsidy, the plant s owner, ANR Inc., found it uneconomical to continue plant operation and shut down the plant in the late 1980s. [Pg.399]

Heavy water [11105-15-0] 1 2 produced by a combination of electrolysis and catalytic exchange reactions. Some nuclear reactors (qv) require heavy water as a moderator of neutrons. Plants for the production of heavy water were built by the U.S. government during World War II. These plants, located at Trad, British Columbia, Morgantown, West Virginia, and Savaimah River, South Carolina, have been shut down except for a portion of the Savaimah River plant, which produces heavy water by a three-stage process (see Deuterium and tritium) an H2S/H2O exchange process produces 15% D2O a vacuum distillation increases the concentration to 90% D2O an electrolysis system produces 99.75% D2O (58). [Pg.78]

Once the governing minimum air volumetric flowrate has been found for an interval to be drilled, the compressors of fixed volumetric flowrate can be selected. An additional compressor is usually on site as a stand-by to have additional air available in case of unexpected downhole problems and to have a compressor available in the event one of the operational compressors needs to be shut down for maintenance. [Pg.856]

In April, 1997, the Tokomac fusion reactor at Princeton shut down when government funding was withdrawn. [Pg.527]

There is now a marked pause in the construction and deployment of new nuclear power plants. Although some construction of reactors continues in Asia and Eastern Europe, a de facto moratorium exists in the United States and in most of Europe, while in Sweden and Gennany the governments plan to shut down operating plants before the end of their normal lifetimes. The inhibitions on nuclear power development stem in large measure from environmental concerns, particularly concerns relating to reactor accidents and nuclear wastes. [Pg.78]

The goal of this operation was to get the location of those needing this perverse fix and do, what Russbacher called, "a field resolution" on them. Russbacher claimed that his team was involved in 400 such resolutions, and that the international network base of this organized pedophile group was around 10,000. As the operation drew closer to high level government types around the world, it was shut down. [Pg.17]

Energy costs should gradually be lowered for many chlorine producers. Less predictable are the interference of governments and the imposition of taxes in the guise of climate change. The UK government got very near to imposing such a tax, which would have shut down a considerable part of the industry. [Pg.18]

Norwegian police arrested six members of the Israeli hit team (all of whom had support roles). They claimed to have been recruited for the assassination by the Mossad (Israeli intelligence). Five were convicted and served time in jail before being quietly paroled and allowed to leave the country. The Israeli government denied any role in Bouchiki s murder, but this debacle effectively shut down the Israeli s European operations for a long time. [Pg.92]

De Gaulle issued vociferous personal protests to the Swiss and Italian governments. As a result, Permindex was forced to shut down its offices in those countries and move to a more friendly location, Johannesburg, South Africa. (5) The Paris-based... [Pg.302]

Generic concern 2 It is naive to assume that PMB can walk away from such a contract with Novartis should the research agenda be somehow bent away from the research of the university and toward more applied activities. One cannot easily shut down a relationship of this nature, and thus successful governance is critical. [Pg.79]

And in the same section you can see the civil and criminal threats the DEA has been escalating on the chem stores. Some places have just given up under this pressure. And believe me, these people did not choose to limit their profits and shut down sales to individuals just because the DEA asks them to. They do it because they are in fear of the DEA. Again, your government at work for you. [Pg.49]
