Because of radiation hazards, accidents at nuclear power reactors have the potential to cause deaths and illness. The worst nuclear accident of all time, the 1986 explosion and hre of Power Reactor Number 4 at Chernobyl in the former Soviet Union (now part of Ukraine) caused 30 deaths outright in personnel exposed at the site, two from the force of the explosion and 28 from acute radiation poisoning soon afterward. A total of 134 cases of acute radiation poisoning were diagnosed among workers at the site. About 265,000 people, including all the residents of the plant operators town of Pripyat 3 km from the reactor were evacuated in a sparsely populated 4300-km area around the power plant. The new town of Slavutich located 30 km from the reactor has been constructed to house workers at the power plant and those involved in cleanup.

Developments in social work came out of the feminist- and reform-driven professionalism of settlement house workers in cities like Chicago and New York. While these agencies were run by women of privilege, they were community based and had much closer ties to families than did schools and their teachers. Visiting teachers were the forerunners of today s social workers. Concerned with the disconnect that existed between poor and immigrant families and schools, settlement house workers in New York worked with the Public Education Society to create a link between families and schools that the city s Board of Education would ultimately adopt.

If a faciHty is large enough to support an in-house maintenance department, management of such a department has the responsibiHty to assure that its maintenance and operation s program is at all times cost effective. The greatest benefit of an in-house maintenance department must be its spirit of ownership. Workers should be trained to have pride of ownership, and must be given the tools to maintain this pride. 

Manpower Labor Contracts. Some faciUties prefer a strict manpower contract that suppHes skilled or unskilled labor as requited to fill ia and supplement an existing workforce. Arrangements can be made at the outset for temporary workers to be hired by the faciUty, if the need for thein service continues and they fit well iato the ia-house organization. 

Milk may be a carrier of diseases from animals or from other sources to humans. To avoid contamination before pasteurization, healthy animals should be separated from sick animals or those with infected udders. The animals should be clean, kept in clean housing with clean air, and handled by workers and equipment under strictly sanitary conditions. Post-pasteurization contamination can occur as a result of improper handling, due to exposure to contaminated air, improperly sanitized equipment, or an infected worker.

A slow response to a smoldering mix of chemicals at the Napp Technologies plant in Lodi, NJ is blamed for an April 21,1995 explosion and fire that killed four workers and injured dozens of others. The blast destroyed more than 70% of the plant, which made pharmaceutical and cosmetic iiuerniediate products, and employed 110 workers. The explosion wrecked several stores housed in (he Napp building, damaged nearby buildings, and forced evacuation of 400 residents for about 13 hours. Chemicals leaked into a nearby river, killing hundreds of fish. 

Although the nature of the general polar effect suggested by Kamernitzsky and Akhrem " to account for axial attack in unhindered ketones is not clear, several groups have reported electrostatic interactions affect the course of borohydride reductions. Thus the keto acid (5a) is not reduced by boro-hydride but its ester (5b) is reduced rapidly further, the reduction of the ester (6b) takes place much more rapidly than that of the acid (6a). Spectroscopic data eliminate the possibility that in (5a) there is an interaction between the acid and ketone groups (e.g. formation of a lactol). The results have been attributed to a direct repulsion by the carboxylate ion as the borohydride ion approaches. " By contrast, House and co-workers observed no electrostatic effect on the stereochemistry of reduction of the keto acid (7). However, in this compound the acid group may occupy conformations in which it does not shield the ketone. Henbest reported that substituting chlorine... 

The magnitude of the preference for the formation of the less substituted enamine from unsymmetrical ketones as expressed by the general rule given above is not entirely clear. House and Schellenbaum 48) have reported that 2-methylcyclohexanone and pyrrolidine produce a product mixture of tetra- and trisubstituted enamines in a ratio of 15 85. The estimate of this ratio was made from NMR data. In contrast Stork and co-workers (9) report the formation of 100% trisubstituted enamine as determined by NMR spectroscopy. 

One laboratory used industrial-type brass valves for many of their water outlets, rather than the more expensive chrome plated ones available from the laboratory supply house. While their appearance was different, their performance was the same. To make the valves look better to both laboratory workers and visitors, the manager would occasionally treat them vdth metal polish. 

Populations with potentially high exposure to 241Am from commercial devices such as ionization chamber smoke detectors might include production workers and firemen attending to fires in production facilities, warehouses where a large number of sources or devices are housed, or homes where a small number of the devices might be used.
