The detailed research areas and tasks under these headlines are presently (January 1998) under preparation by the Commission. More information should be available at the time of the 7th ECNDT Conference.

During the construction of a ship the Surveyor monitors NDE results for completeness of testing and overall quality of welding. This role includes the evaluation of checkpoints taken specifically for classification purposes but also includes the monitoring of additional checkpoints taken for quality control purposes by the builder. In the case of tankers built to LR Class since 1994 and for bulk carriers built to Class since January 1996 the Surveyor will witness the actions listed as part of the ShipRight Construction Monitoring procedure that is now mandatory.

GenBank [32] is a text-numeric database of genetic sequences with more than 28 billion bases in 22 million sequences (January, 2003) from genetic research. The collection of all publidy available sequences is annotated with information such as sequence description, source organism, sequence length, or references. The database, estabhshed in 1967, is updated daily and produced by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (USA). 

INPADOC (International Patent Documentation Center) is the most comprehensive tttbliographic database of scientific and technological patent documents in the world. The stock encompasses more than 26 miUion patent documents, more than 59 miUion legal status data, and about 10 million patent famihes (January, 2003). The database contains more than 35 milhon patent citations from 71 patent-issuing organizations (European Patent Office, World Intellectual Property Organization (WlPO)) and is updated weekly with about 40 000 new citations. 

Altogether it is not a large reaction database in January 2003 it comprised only about 1533 unique structures and 2175 reactions. Nevertheless, it is a very important reaction database as it contains the essential processes occurring in living species. 

Metallic sodium is priced at about 15 to 20 cents/lb in quantity. Reagent grade (ACS) sodium in January 1990 cost about 35/lb. On a volume basis, it is the cheapest of all metals. 

Strontium metal (98% pure) in January 1990 cost about 5/oz. 

Over the past 25 years the price of tin has varied from 50 cents/lb to its present price of abotu 4/lb. as of January 1990. 

The price of platinum has varied widely. More than a century ago platinum was used to adulterate gold and was worth nearly eight times more than gold in 1920. The price in January 1990 was about 500/troy oz. 

The uses of nuclear fuels to generate electrical power, to make isotopes for peaceful purposes, and to make explosives are well known. The estimated world-wide capacity of the 429 nuclear power reactors in operation in January 1990 amounted to about 311,000 megawatts.
