Licensing limits

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other federal, state and local authorities govern security of supply in relation to quantity for surface and groundwater by the granting of an abstraction license. The license limits the total daily quantity and the rate at which the waters may be abstracted, taking account of the natural resource and the needs of other abstractors. Metered water supply is subject to contract with the water companies, who may impose quantity and draw-off rate limitations. The limitations imposed by the license or contract may influence plant location. 

One of the major repositories for commercial low-level waste is near Barnwell, South Carolina and is nearing its capacity. Other repositories around the country were closed when full or when required to be closed by state regulatory action. The major repository for very low-level or incidental nuclear waste is near Salt Lake City, Utah and there is another located in Texas. There have been no health effects or releases of radioactivity exceeding licensed limits from these low-level repositories. The schedule for opening additional low-level repositories has been delayed for several years by the same type of public opposition encountered by proposals relating to treatment and disposal of municipal and other wastes. 

Perhaps the two most important implications of tritium inventory buildup in the torus are the locking up of the fuel in the PFMs (reducing the available fuel in the machine), and the need to keep the in-vessel T inventory within a licensed limit due to safety considerations. Based on postulated accident scenarios for ITER, the administrative in-vessel limit of mobilizable tritium has been set to be 1,000 g [2]. When the accumulated T inventory in the torus reaches this level, operation will have to be discontinued and dedicated T-removal procedures must be applied. 

Verify that the license limit may not be exceeded by authorized users. 

Repeat Steps 1 and 2 above. For the remainder of this test, a second valid user of S-Plus must be utilized. CONTACT THE TEST COORDINATOR IN ORDER TO CONTINUE THIS TEST Have the test coordinator repeat Steps 1 and 2 above. System output should resemble that in Figure 7. The username should be the tester s username. The test coordinator is not allowed to execute S-PIus due to the license limit Terminating S Session No S-Plus licenses available ... 

Tc and other isotopes and isomers of technetium are nuclides of medium radio-toxicity [26] licensing limits, annual limits of intake and maximum permitted air concentrations arc compiled in Table 5.4.A.

The OP P manual establishes the safety envelope within which the plant is to be maintained and operated under both normal and abnormal conditions. This manual defines the shutdown states and licensing limits, and specifies the heat sinks and their limits.

Input Controls Fishery management measures that seek to limit the amount or effectiveness of effort in a fishery, including licenses limiting numbers of fishermen, gear restrictions, and time limits on fishing activities. 

This experiment is designed to study the temperature effects on reactivity. The UW reactor will be pulsed with various reactivity insertions up to the license limit. A computer-based data acquisition system will record a pulse power trace (power as a function of time), while the console recorder will record the maximum fuel temperature reached during the pulse. From the power trace data, measurements will be made of the asymptotic period, pulse width, peak power, and total energy release. 

The PFR fuel reprocessing plant proved the technical feasibility of oxide fuel reprocessing via a Purex-cycle, with recovery of over 99.5% of the plutonium. This high recovery was also reflected in the low amounts of plutonium in the liquid and solid waste streams from the plant. The amount of radioactivity discharged to the environment was always about an order of magnitude less than the licensed limits. The plant is subject to IAEA and Euratom safeguards. 

All nonproduct hazardous outputs into all environmental media, even though they may be within permitted or licensed limits. This is much broader than the legal definition of hazardous solid waste in the Resource Conversation and Recovery Act, its amendments, and subsequent regulations. Hazardous refers to harm to human health or the environment as is broader than the term toxicity. For example, wastes that are hazardous because of their corrosive, flammability, explosiveness, or infectiousness are not normally considered toxic. [p. 31]... 

Experiment LP-02-6 simulated a double-ended offset shear of a commercial PWR main coolant inlet pipe . The principal boundary conditions were (a) coincident loss of offsite power, (b) PWR nominal primary pump coastdown, (c) initial core power representative of USNRC licensing limits in a commercial PWR, and (d) US minimum emergency core coolant (ECC) injection. The cladding thermocouple temperature response was similar to that in LOFT L2-3 as shown in Figure 7. The early return to saturation conditions occurred at the same time, as had been expected. 

The Canadian licensing philosophy requires that each accident, together with failure of each safety system in turn, be assessed (and specified dose limits met) as part of the design and licensing process. In response, designers have provided CANDUs with two independent dedicated shutdown systems, and the likelihood of anticipated transients without scram is negligible.

Cement kilns can handle quite a lot of different materials. In most cases the input material should be chipped or shredded. Licenses often limit the PVC and chlorine input to l%-2% chlorine in waste. It is said that chlorine also has a negative impact on the quality of the clinker if it is available in too high quantities. The content in clinker seems to be limited to some 0.1% at maximum, and hence the average chlorine content of all fuels used combined may have to be somewhat lower. This implies that waste with a high chlorine... 

Artistic license should be limited by the fact that the eye perceives the area of the bar as the significant piece of information. The ordinate should start at zero. A violation of these two rules—through purpose or ignorance—can skew the issue or even misrepresent the data. Hair-raising examples can be found in the Economics sections of even major newspapers. 

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) established limits for levels of the americium radioisotope,241 Am, in air and water that can be released from licensed facilities. The levels, in...
