H-criteria

An attempt to regulate the evaluation of wastes was presented by the Commission for the Evaluation of Substances Hazardous for Water in March 2003 [18]. It suggests a classification in accordance to the relevant H-criteria of the water-hazard classes for waste. The problem with this approach, however, is that the composition of the waste should be known and focus is given to effects relevant for water-hazard potential. Based on the submitted concept and in accordance with the principle of concern of the Water Management Act, wastes can be treated as not firmly defined substances, such as the substances assigned to the WGK 3 (water-hazard class).

Applying experimentally based T/H criteria to local conditions in the assembly to predict the maximum acceptable power limit. 

Analysis of the LOPA, pump shaft break (PSB), and gang rod withdrawal (GRW) accidents (Reference 19) DBAs, which traditionally defined the SRS reactors maximum power limit envelope, were analyzed using similar T/H criteria, modeling, and computational techniques (TRAC, FLOWTRAN-FI and physics code suites) as those developed for the LBLOCA FI phase analysis. Preliminary results are shown in Table 1. 

Within the assembly subchannels, the gravity-dominated, churn-turbulent coolant and air flows are sensitive to perturbations caused by air heatup and coolant cross flow to adjacent subchannels through the variable (0-40 mils) rib gaps. As a consequence, it is difficult to quantify local heat transfer conditions. A semi-empirical approach, based on separate effects (single heated wall) experiments, is being taken to establish the T/H criteria for the ECS phase. For restart, a conservative T/H precursor criterion to potential fuel damage conditions for the ECS phase power limit have been adopted. The criterion is as follows ...

In this case, the transition structure must have symmetry, with the two F atoms arranged axially and the H atoms being equatorial. In fact, the transition structure is the lowest energy compound that satisfies this symmetry criteria.

The definition of polymer thermal stabiUty is not simple owing to the number of measurement techniques, desired properties, and factors that affect each (time, heating rate, atmosphere, etc). The easiest evaluation of thermal stabiUty is by the temperature at which a certain weight loss occurs as observed by thermogravimetric analysis (tga). Early work assigned a 7% loss as the point of stabiUty more recentiy a 10% value or the extrapolated break in the tga curve has been used. A more reaUstic view is to compare weight loss vs time at constant temperature, and better yet is to evaluate property retention time at temperature one set of criteria has been 177°C for 30,000 h, or 240°C for 1000 h, or 538°C for 1 h, or 816°C for 5 min (1).

In 1971 the OSHA standard for benzene (20 CFR, Part 1910.0000) adopted a permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 10 ppm benzene measured as an 8-h TWA. In October of 1976 NIOSH updated its earlier criteria document on benzene and recommended that OSHA lower the benzene exposure standard from 10 to 1 ppm. This proposed implementation was blocked by the United States Supreme Court iu 1980 on the basis of iusufficient evidence linking benzene to cancer deaths. By the mid-1980s convincing evidence of the carciuogenicity of benzene appeared through animal studies which justified reconsideration of the 1 ppm PEL (130).

The slope of the Tafel curve drj/d log / is only one of the criteria that are required to determine the mechanism of the h.e.r., since different mechanisms, involving different r.d.s. often have the same Tafel slope. Parameters that are diagnostic of mechanism are the transfer coefficient, the reaction order, the stoichiometric number, the hydrogen coverage, the exchange current density, the heat adsorption, etc.
