For an overview of c mization and its application in pollution prevention, the reader is referred to El-Halwagi (1995). In this chapter, it will be shown how optimization techniques enable the designer to ... 

Space limitations prevent my presenting a full-fledged review of the history of the observational programs along with the evolution of the comparisons between theory and data. For some recent reviews of mine, see [1] and further references therein. Instead, an overview is presented which highlights the challenges to SBBN. The remainder of this article is devoted to some of the key issues associated with each of the light nuclide relic abundances.

Preparation of QC samples for internal testing deserves particular care because of their impact on the perceived reliability of the analytical program. The problems listed in Table 12.2 can falsely indicate error in the analytical process that stimulates unwarranted methods diagnostic efforts by reviewing and repeating analyses. The QC staff must take thorough precautions in QC sample preparation to be meticulous, maintain accuracy and traceability to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards, prevent radionuclide contamination, and keep reliable and detailed records. These efforts are sufficiently important to require direct overview by the QC supervisor. 

Annual training is required for all headquarters SUBSAFE workers, from the apprentice craftsman to the admirals. A periodic refresher is also held at each of the contractor s facilities. At the meetings, a video about the loss of Thresher is shown and an overview of the SUBSAFE program and their responsibilities is provided as well as recent lessons learned and deficiency trends encountered over the previous years. The need to avoid complacency and to proactively correct and prevent problems is reinforced. 

These systems are used to help track hazards corrective actions preventive maintenance systems emergency preparation and medical programs [2]. Refer to Figures 11-1 and 11-2 for an overview of how a hazard control system works. 

This program is coordinated with OSHA s process safety management (PSM). hi fact, conpliance with the PSM standard is considered equivalent to the prevention part of the RMP. The following overview of the risk management program pertains to all plants covered under the PSM standard, which includes most...
