Leaks control

The Secondary LOCA sequences are related to large breaks (23/24) with small breaks and expansion joint (< 1%). Response to Secondary LOCA involves shutdown, leak control and/or isolation, water removal from the building to avoid flooding of pumps, and direct core cooling in the event of pump flooding.

The progress of the incident showed the merits of having a retention vessel around the drum mam vessel to collect and confine any sodium leak It also highlighted that this step could be improved by additional steps concerning leak control, monitoring of the integrity of the retention tank and the actions needed in the event of a leak from the second tank... 

An example of a simation that can tempt personnel to take an unacceptable shortcut is shown in Figure 10.2. A hazardous chemical is leaking to the atmosphere through a control valve s packing. Operations management decides to run a hose bypass around the valve, and to control the flow in the line using a manual valve. The leaking control valve can then be blocked in and repaired.

A total of 185 eligible patients (49 females, 136 males) between 18 and 75 years of age who were xmdergoing major thoracic surgery were randomised to receive FS ( 91 patients) as an adjuvant for air leak control or no treatment ( 94 patients, control group). Safety variables included percentage of subjects with adverse events associated with the therapy, formation of antibodies against bovine aprotinin, vital signs (blood pressure, body temperature, heart and respiratory rate) and laboratory parameters.

All calorimeters consist of the calorimeter proper and its surround. This surround, which may be a jacket or a batii, is used to control tlie temperature of the calorimeter and the rate of heat leak to the environment. For temperatures not too far removed from room temperature, the jacket or bath usually contains a stirred liquid at a controlled temperature. For measurements at extreme temperatures, the jacket usually consists of a metal block containing a heater to control the temperature. With non-isothemial calorimeters (calorimeters where the temperature either increases or decreases as the reaction proceeds), if the jacket is kept at a constant temperature there will be some heat leak to the jacket when the temperature of the calorimeter changes. 

Hence, it is necessary to correct the temperature change observed to the value it would have been if there was no leak. This is achieved by measuring the temperature of the calorimeter for a time period both before and after the process and applying Newton s law of cooling. This correction can be reduced by using the teclmique of adiabatic calorimetry, where the temperature of the jacket is kept at the same temperature as the calorimeter as a temperature change occurs. This teclmique requires more elaborate temperature control and it is prunarily used in accurate heat capacity measurements at low temperatures. 

Aerosol products are hermetically sealed, ensuring that the contents caimot leak, spill, or be contaminated. The packages can be considered to be tamper-proof. They deUver the product in an efficient manner generating Httie waste, often to sites of difficult access. By control of particle size, spray pattern, and volume deUvered per second, the product can be appHed directiy without contact by the user. For example, use of aerosol pesticides can minimize user exposure and aerosol first-aid products can soothe without applying painful pressure to a wound. Spray contact lens solutions can be appHed directiy and aerosol lubricants (qv) can be used on machinery in operation. Some preparations, such as stable foams, can only be packaged as aerosols. 

The next step is to apply a number of loss control credit factors such as process control (emergency power, cooling, explosion control, emergency shutdown, computer control, inert gas, operating procedures, reactive chemical reviews), material isolation (remote control valves, blowdown, drainage, interlocks) and fire protection (leak detection, buried tanks, fire water supply, sprinkler systems, water curtains, foam, cable protection). The credit factors are combined and appHed to the fire and explosion index value to result in a net index. 

When constmction is complete, the pipeline must be tested for leaks and strength before being put into service industry code specifies the test procedures. Water is the test fluid of choice for natural gas pipelines, and hydrostatic testing is often carried out beyond the yield strength in order to reHeve secondary stresses added during constmction or to ensure that all defects are found. Industry code limits on the hoop stress control the test pressures, which are also limited by location classification based on population. Hoop stress is calculated from the formula, S = PD/2t, where S is the hoop stress in kPa (psig) P is the internal pressure in kPa (psig), and D and T are the outside pipe diameter and nominal wall thickness, respectively, in mm (in.). 

Generally, it is more economical to prevent explosive atmospheres ia rooms than to try to provide explosion-proof electrical equipment. Personnel should never be allowed to work ia a ha2ardous atmosphere. Where such an atmosphere cannot be avoided through control of flammable Hquids, gases, and dusts, access to the area iavolved should be limited and the area segregated by hoods or special ventilation. Electrical equipment on open, outdoor stmctures more than 8 m above-ground usually is considered free from exposure to more than temporary, local explosive mixtures near leaks (86).
