Other facilities required

After irradiation, a storage facility must be available for the stones until their radioactivity has decayed below the release limit. The storage time period is strongly dependent on the characteristics of the stones. At one facility, it was possible to release 70% of the stones after 2 months. After 8 months, 80% of the stones were released. 

Because of market forces, it is desirable to release the stones as soon as possible. This requires frequent determination of the radioactivity of the stones and predictions of release date. 

At one facility, an automatic handling and activity measuring robot has been used to perform the periodic measurements of the stones. 

In some countries, the radioactivity limits for releasing the stones have become nuclide specific. This will require the use of a multi-channel analyser as well as a system for determining the beta emissions from the stones.

For non-change type trigger events, PSSR is verifying that the process is safe for startup, all maintenance has be completed, and other facility requirements have been met (for example, a PSSR following a maintenance turnaround or after an emergency shutdown). Again, the PSSR provides a second layer of protection that all other policies and procedures are complete.

Step 2 allows you to identify uses of the chemical or chemical category that were included In Step 1 but that are exempt under section 313. Do not include In Step 2 exempt forms of the chemical not included in the calculations in Step 1. For example. If you did not report the freon contained in the building s air conditioners in Step 1, you would not include the amount as exempt in Step 2. Step 2 is intended for use when one form or use of the chemical is exempt while others forms require reporting. Note the type of exemption for future reference. Also identify, if applicable, the fraction or percentage of the chemical present that Is exempt. Add the amounts in each activity to obtain a subtotal for exempted amounts of the chemical or chemical categories at the facility. 

Only on-site releases of the toxic chemical to the environment for the calendar year are to be reported in this section of the form. The total releases from your facility do not include transfers or shipments of the chemical from your facility for sale or distribution in commerce, or of wastes to other facilities fortreatment ordisposal (see Pari III, Section 6). Both routine releases, such as fugitive air emissions, and accidental or nonroutine releases, such as chemical spills, must be included in your estimate of the quantity released. EPA requires no more than two significant digits when reporting releases (e.g., 7521 pounds would be reported as 7500 pounds). 

Calculating Releases - To provide the release information required in columns A.1 and A.2 in this section, you must use all readily available data (including relevant monitoring data and emissions measurements) collected at your facility to meet other regulatory requirements or as part of routine plant operations, to the extent you have such data for the toxic chemical. 

The language of the supplier notification requirements covers mixtures or trade name products that are sold or otherwise distributed. The "otherwise distributes" language applies to intra-company transfers. However, if the company has developed an internal communications procedure that alerts their other facilities to the presence and content of covered toxic chemicals in their products, then EPA would accept this. 

As part of planning your company s PSM system roll-out (Chapter 7), you have established a number of benchmarks and parameters for the installation process. For example, pilot testing should yield realistic estimates for individual facilities schedule, staffing, and other resource requirements, as well as workable formats for reporting. The installation plan you developed should derive from these results, adapting them to the full range of your company s operations. 

Another requirement is a reduction in the generation of heat. Operation of any membrane under 90°C, even at 8 kA m-2, is very much desired for safety reasons and to prolong the life of the cell, piping or any other facilities subjected to high temperature. The ohmic drop beyond the membrane has been previously lowered by the narrowed gap separating the electrodes. This leaves further reduction of the ohmic resistance of the membrane to be achieved. 

The enhanced catalatic activity could arise from more facile exhaust of products just as easily as from enhanced substrate accessibility. The effect of inhibitors is a largely static process that is complete once the inhibitor has become bound in the active site. The catalatic process, on the other hand, requires a constant influx of substrate peroxide and efflux of product oxygen and water. As a result, the inlet channels for inhibitors and substrate may be different. 

Table 4-1 reports the other facilities, besides Dupont, in the United States that produce and/or process 1,3-dinitrobenzene. The data reported in Table 4-1 are derived from the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) of EPA (TRI92 1994). Only certain types of facilities were required to report to the TRI databank of EPA. Hence, this is not an exhaustive list. The Aldrich Chemical Company (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) and Janssen Chimica (Gardena, California) also produced 1,3-DNB for commercial sale and use (Van et al. 1991). 1,3,5-TNB has been manufactured commercially by Kodak Park Division (Rochester, New York) (OHM/TADS 1991). 

Another large cost associated with incoming water is associated with its movement. Many aquaculture facilities that utilize surface waters and those that obtain their water from wells other than artesian wells are required to pump the water into their facilities. Pumping costs can be a major expense, particularly when the facility requires continuous inflow. 

The mechanical contractor is usually also responsible for providing adequate pressurized water supply, drainage (with special provisions for low-level areas of the closed-loop water system), bypasses, an electrical supply (typically 110 V, 1 phase, but also 3 phase where temporary pumps are required), HVAC system air purge vents, as well as other facilities, such as site access, toilets, security, and equipment handling systems.
