The NRC issues licenses for the facilities noted and the operators of those facilities. Licenses may also be issued by individual state governments under NRC-approved regulatory programs. There are more than 8500 such licenses under the NRC s jurisdiction and approximately 15,000 under the jurisdiction of Agreement States, which regulate certain radioactive materials under agreements with the NRC. As of 1996, there are 109 licensed commercial nuclear power reactors in the United States, located at 71 sites in 33 states (see Nuclear REACTORS). However, several of these facilities are only partially constructed and further construction has been deferred. There are more than 5300 licensed nuclear power plant operators in the United States, each licensed for a specific reactor. Every operator must be requalified before renewal of a six-year license (14,15). 

At this stage the product should register >300 c.p.s. on the mini-monitor, equivalent to an incorporation of about 5%-10% of the radioactive nucleotide. Under these conditions the extension of the primer ranges from zero to 150 to 200 nucleotides. 

An enzyme catalyzing the reaction S P is competitively inhibited by I. The assay is based on the incorporation of label from radioactive S into P. = 2.3xio M and V max = 290 nmoles/min under standard assay conditions. -Ki = 2.3 X 10 M. The specific activity of the labeled S is 4.5 x lO CPM//i.mole. (a) What is the observed velocity in terms of CPM incorporated into P per minute when [S] = 2.3 X10 M (b) What would the observed rate be (CPM/min) if a fivefold excess of unlabeled S were added (c) What would the observed rate be (CPM/min) if a fivefold excess of I were added ... 

The main purpose of this Act is to ensure effective control over radioactive wastes. Under the Act those who keep or use radioactive materials on premises used for the purposes of an undertaking (trade, business, profession etc.) are required to register with Her Majesty s Inspectorate of Pollution of the Department of the Environment, Welsh Office, Her Majesty s Industrial Pollution Inspectorate for Scotland of the Scottish Development Department or the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland, according to the region, or to be exempted from registration. Conditions may be attached to registrations and exemptions, and these are made with regard to the amount and character of the radioactive waste likely to arise. 

There are many potential advantages to kinetic methods of analysis, perhaps the most important of which is the ability to use chemical reactions that are slow to reach equilibrium. In this chapter we examine three techniques that rely on measurements made while the analytical system is under kinetic rather than thermodynamic control chemical kinetic techniques, in which the rate of a chemical reaction is measured radiochemical techniques, in which a radioactive element s rate of nuclear decay is measured and flow injection analysis, in which the analyte is injected into a continuously flowing carrier stream, where its mixing and reaction with reagents in the stream are controlled by the kinetic processes of convection and diffusion. 

Surface Area. Overall catalyst surface area can be determined by the BET method mentioned eadier, but mote specific techniques are requited to determine a catalyst s active surface area. X-ray diffraction techniques can give data from which the average particle si2e and hence the active surface area may be calculated. Or, it may be necessary to find an appropriate gas or Hquid that will adsorb only on the active surface and to measure the extent of adsorption under controUed conditions. In some cases, it maybe possible to measure the products of reaction between a reactive adsorbent and the active site. Radioactively tagged materials are frequentiy usehil in this appHcation. Once a correlation has been estabHshed between either total or active surface area and catalyst performance (particulady activity), it may be possible to use the less costiy method for quaHty assurance purposes. 

In 1938 Niels Bohr had brought the astounding news from Europe that the radiochemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann in Berlin had conclusively demonstrated that one of the products of the bom-bardmeiit of uranium by neutrons was barium, with atomic number 56, in the middle of the periodic table of elements. He also announced that in Stockholm Lise Meitner and her nephew Otto Frisch had proposed a theory to explain what they called nuclear fission, the splitting of a uranium nucleus under neutron bombardment into two pieces, each with a mass roughly equal to half the mass of the uranium nucleus. The products of Fermi s neutron bombardment of uranium back in Rome had therefore not been transuranic elements, but radioactive isotopes of known elements from the middle of the periodic table. 

In 1907, she went to Berlin to study under Max Planck, promising her devoted parents that she would return to Vienna in six months at the most. She stayed in Berlin for thirty-one years. In Berlin, Meitner met Otto Flahn, a professor of chemistiy, and took an unpaid position assisting Flahn with his research on the chemistry of radioactive substances. At that time women were not allowed to v ork in the Chemical Institute, and she had to set up her laboratory in a carpenter s workshop outside the Institute.
