The factors promoting corrosion of aluminium alloys are complex and interrelated. They often operate synergistically, making prediction of corrosion difficult. In wet storage of aluminium clad spent fuel, there are a number of corrosion mechanisms involved. The most important mechanisms as related to spent nuclear fuel are briefly discussed here. Other details and definitions related to aluminium corrosion can be found in the normative publications and ISO standards provided therein. 

Note MM-i- is derived from the public domain code developed by Dr. Norm an Allinger, referred to as M.M2( 1977), and distributed by the Quantum Chemistry Program Exchange (QCPE). The code for MM-t is not derived from Dr. Allin ger s present version of code, which IS trademarked MM2 . Specifically. QCMPOlO was used as a starting point Ibr HyperChem MM-t code. The code was extensively modified and extended over several years to include molecular dynamics, switching functuins for cubic stretch terms, periodic boundary conditions, superimposed restraints, a default (additional) parameter scheme, and so on. 

Figure 55.1 and Table 55.1 are the norms established for most rotating equipment. Additional information can be obtained from ISO 5406 and 5343. Similar standards are available from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in their publication ANSI S2.43-1984. 

Estimates based on European data are more scarce, and present other problems. In universal public insurance systems, in which financing is not based on premiums, there is no interpersonal (intra-group) variability in the drag copayment rates, or if there is it is very small. Therefore, temporal data are used to quantify the reactions of demand to normative changes in co-payment rates. The problem here is that such changes have occurred on very few occasions, and concurrently with other sources of variation in demand.

Politicians, seeing that the public treats a risk as real, often decide to get out in front of the problem, even though they are aware that they have little or no knowledge of the science that supports the existence or importance of the risk. Scientists, aware of the political interest in risk and the public s awareness of it, will seek research funds, knowing that a result that buoys up the risk, or, at least, a result that does not sink it, is more likely to be published, to receive public attention, and to result in further funding. Or, they may elect to bypass the usual norms of science... 

Nonetheless, the Synthesis Team went through with publication of its report even after being told (and then independently verifying) that the models it relied upon could not simulate U.S. temperature on any time scale during the last 100 years. That leads to the obvious conclusion that the USNA is a politically driven polemic that merely looks scientific. It is decidedly not science by the norms of the scientific community. And it is un-... 

This chapter has argued that cost-effectiveness evaluation of medicines, despite widespread normative, bureaucratic and political support, is an endangered global public good. This is so not only because of threats posed by corporate multinationals, but because those operating it lack a systematic global vision for its long-term enhancement. 

Such a treaty or provisions also facilitate recognition that the evolving process of scientific cost-effectiveness analysis is best placed to normatively legitimize claims for pharmaceutical "innovation," by gatekeeping, as a global public good, entry to the class of truly "essential" medicines. 

Though a standard norm or absolute reference value is not available for comparison in any of the international standard specifications and the technical and research publications with respect to the chemical resistance properties of rubber, liquid immersion tests certainly provide relative and useful data with which the suitability of anticorrosive rubber lining compounds can be assessed with a fair degree of accuracy. For this reason manufacturers and applicators of rubber lining resort to tests under simulated conditions instead of accelerated ageing immersion or swelling tests.
