In any case, the crux is of course the state-of-the-art in theorem proving the key issues are soundness of the synthesis (entailing correctness, completeness, and possibly termination of the resulting programs), deductive power (provability for an entire class of statements, extractability of whole families of programs for the same specification), and efficiency (need for proof planning in order to control the huge search space). Traditional theorem pro vers, such as the one of [Boyer and Moore 79], are inadequate due to their inability to reason constructively about existential quanti-...

The NRC also imposes special security requirements for spent fuel shipments and transport of highly enriched uranium or plutonium materials that can be used in the manufacture of nuclear weapons. These security measures include route evaluation, escort personnel and vehicles, communications capabiHties, and emergency plans. State governments are notified in advance of any planned shipment within their state of spent fuel, or any other radioactive materials requiring shipment in accident-proof. Type B containers.

The standard requires suppliers to utilize appropriate mistake-proofing methods during the planning of processes, facilities equipment, and tooling. 

The statement and proof of the truth criterion (see Lakshmanan, 1989) for quantitative constraints is along the lines of Chapman s truth criterion for domain independent nonmonotonic planning. From this criterion, the plan modification operations that would ensure satisfaction of constraints are... 

A comprehensive approach to a states response to a chemical terrorism includes having a plan not only for the crisis and consequence management phases of the incident, but also for all elements required for complete resolution of the event. This may include the necessity to definitively establish whether chemical agents were used, to provide supporting evidence to confirm other analyses, or to provide the forensic proof required to support a criminal prosecution. The collection and analysis of biomedical samples - blood, urine or other tissue from affected humans or animals - is one of the means for providing such information. Although current capabilities such as urinary thiodyglycol excretion or plasma cholinesterase activity can be performed, there is scope for far more sensitive and specific assessments that overcome the limitations of these approaches. 

When such studies indicate the facility is in unsatisfactory condition, a planned program shall be initiated to abandon, replace, or recondition and proof test. If such a facility cannot be reconditioned or phased out, the maximum allowable operating pressure shall be reduced commensurate with the requirements described in Part PL. 

This still needs to be evaluated. The technology provider plans to test the new RDM at the vendor s facility prior to shipment. No proof of principle prior to this time is anticipated, especially demonstration of the efficacy of the tube-cutting concept for concurrent cutting of firing tubes and contained rockets. Also, the capability of the punch-and-drain and rocket-cutting operations to prevent agent contamination of energetics has not been demonstrated. 

CBR-proof shelters, masks, protective clothing and public instruction are an important part of defense plans. 

PI 2A. IR studies of N labeled azide la. We are concerned with providing further evidence that nitrene 2a was formed upon the photolysis of azide la. To this end, we plan to synthesize azide la as an isotope labeled in the N1 position (see Figure 15), obtain IR spectra before and after irradiation in an argon matrix, and compare the calculated shift for the C-N band in nitrene 2a with the experimental value. Because isotope shifts in IR bands can be calculated very accurately, this will be an excellent proof of the formation of a nitrene intermediate. (From Gudmundsdottir, 2001)... 

Proof-of-concept studies, and pilot-scale and full-scale demonstrations, have been successfully completed for a variety of contaminants, and additional full-scale applications are planned. Berkeley Environmental Restoration Center is currently seeking commercial licensees for SEE. The technology is commercially available through SteamTech Environmental Services and Integrated Water Resources, Inc. 

Acoustically enhanced remediation (AER) is an in situ remediation technology that uses acoustic excitation fields (AEFs) to enhance rates of fluid and contaminant extraction from a wide variety of soil types. Bench-scale proof-of-concept tests have been completed and were followed by larger scale laboratory experiments. According to the vendor, a field-scale proof-of-principle step has been planned. The vendor indicates that this technology is currently commercially available however, it is uncertain whether these field-scale tests have occurred. 

Nevertheless the planning and execution of any synthesis must be verified by showing that the product of each step is in fact the predicted compound and that die target compound was actually obtained. Thus a critical part of any synthesis involves determining and proving the structures of synthetic intermediates and final products. While the majority of the time careful planning will result in the formation of the expected product, there are always enough exceptions to make structure proof an imperative step. 

In 1991 it was planned to prepare this deposit for exploration as a UGS facility. The middle Eocene aged tuff-breccias and tuffs with hollow gaps caused by 550-600 m thick cracks. A gas-proof lid was created by the Upper Eocene Tbilisi and Navtlugi strata of shaly clay, intermittent argillites, clay sandstones and marls, at 1000-1100 meter thickness. 

Problems with the closure of JACADS are proof of the importance of planning for closure at the beginning of any chemical agent disposal project. However, there is no evidence of planning for closure of the Pueblo facility.
