Releases consequences

The weight of fuel in the cloud is equal to the flash fraction times the quantity of fuel released. To aUow for spray and aerosol formation, the cloud inventory should be multiplied by 2. (The weight of fuel in the cloud may not, of course, exceed the total quantity of fuel released.) Consequently, the cloud inventory equals ... 

Hydralazine and minoxidil cause direct arteriolar smooth muscle relaxation. Compensatory activation of baroreceptor reflexes results in increased sympathetic outflow from the vasomotor center, producing an increase in heart rate, cardiac output, and renin release. Consequently, the hypotensive effectiveness of direct vasodilators diminishes over time unless the patient is also taking a sympathetic inhibitor and a diuretic. 

Consequence-Based Ranking Systems Release consequence modeling can be used to rank potential chemical hazards. For example, the USEPAs RMP regulations require consequence modeling for a predefined worst-case scenario—release of the entire contents of the largest container of a material in 10 min. EPA provides lookup tables and software (RMPComp) to assist in estimating the hazard distances for materials covered by the RMP regulations. 

From this we concluded that LMWPs are potentially suitable to serve as renal-specific drug carriers a drug-LMWP conjugate will be rapidly removed from the circulation and the drug can be intra-renally released. Consequently, major distribution to extra-renal tissue and related unwanted effects elsewhere in the body can, in principle, be avoided. It is assumed that secondary redistribution of the generated drug from the kidney is relatively slow so that systemic concentrations remain below the therapeutic window for extra-renal effects. 

In the sequential mechanism, all substrates must bind to the enzyme before any product is released. Consequently, in a bisubstrate reaction, a ternary complex of the enzyme and both substrates forms. Sequential mechanisms are of two... 

Specific adsorption of anions is accompanied by adsorption of protons and specific adsorption of cations is accompanied by proton release. Consequently the point of zero proton charge is shifted to high pH in the presence of specifically adsorbed anions, and to low pH in the presence of specifically adsorbed cations. This is illustrated in Figs 4.11 (anions) and 4.12 (cations) for typical experimental conditions at which titrations are carried out (alumina, 2600 m /dm ). 

There is one other key point concerning sulfur mustard. Pure sulfur mustard (HD) freezes at about 58°F. Once frozen, essentially no mustard vapor is released. Consequently, electronic monitoring relying on detection of released mustard vapor would be useless, and contamination of persons exposed to frozen sulfur mustard would not be detected by this type of monitoring. Upon rewarming, both liquid and vapor sulfur mustard would be present on the contaminated clothing. 

Renal hypoperfusion without systemic hypotension most commonly results from bilateral renal artery occlusion, or unilateral occlusion in a patient with a single functioning kidney. In these conditions, the sodium-retentive hormones are activated by the decline in renal parenchymal perfusion. However, systemic arterial blood pressure is usually elevated, leading to an inhibition of antidiuretic hormone release. Consequently, the urinary indices will reflect enhanced sodium reabsorption (i.e., a low fractional excretion of sodium), but the urinary solutes may not be maximally concentrated. 

Nitriles may be hydrolyzed to carboxylic acids with the use of base (or acid). With base, ammonia is also released. Consequently, when NaOH is added to benzonitrile, ammonia is released and can be detected with litmus paper. Nitrobenzene will not give the reaction. 

The above assumption with regard to materiai at risk wiil be overly conservative in most process scenarios for the less volatile fission products by two to four orders of magnitude, but this will be only about a factor of four in terms of potential total dose consequences, as depicted later in Table 3.4-1. However, this assumption will encompass future unanticipated processing scenarios which might render the less volatile inventory more available for release. Based on this assumption, the hazard and accident analyses are not dependent on any specific isotope processing steps, since there are no process operations which could render the material more volatile. Thus, these process operations are not relied on to mitigate any release consequences and therefore do not perform any Safety Function. 

The determination of toxic release consequences consists from modelling release, dispersion, exposure and effects of toxic gas. The consequences are quantified as ... 

There is thought now that especially for reactors with fuel having a low power density it may be possible to arrest accidents by simultaneously providing coolant to the core and by cooling the outside of the reactor vessel [S-14], The radionuclide release consequences of prolonged retention of core debris in the reactor vessel have not received much attention. 

Nuclear power plants are constructed very safely with numerous barriers and systems that must fail in order for a severe release to occur. For most severe accidents, it is estimated that it will take two or more hours from the start of the event until a major release commences. There is considerable instrumentation in the plants that will allow the plant operators to detect dangerous conditions before a release. Consequently, it was recognized that a system could be designed to detect dangerous plant conditions before a significant release and initiate the appropriate protective actions before that release. 

The main control rooms of the units were not equipped with a ventilation system capable of filtering the intake air in case of radioactive releases. Consequently, there is a potential hazard of breathing the contaminated air in the main control rooms in case of serious accidents. The habitability of main control rooms must be ensured also in case of severe accidents. 

Thus, in the cases of bovine pepsinogen and calf prochymosin where the activation segment sequences are known, peptides were released corresponding to the NH2-terminal parts of the sequence only. For the canine and chicken proteins where no sequence data is available, it appears that inclusion of pepstatin stops the activations before all of the activation segment is released. Consequently, a sequential activation mechanism and not a one-step transformation must be operative with all five of these zymogens. 

The more recent view is that an alcohol is formed, and the proton in union with the — NHa is released. Consequently, the method is really an estimation of amino groups present as — NHj ", as occurs in the dipolar amino acid molecule. The aldehyde reacts in hydrated form. 

The moisture absorption/desorption capability of the solid fiber depends on the relative humidity of the enclosed air in the microclimate around the fiber and the type of fiber material. When fibers absorb moisture, heat is generated and released. Consequently, the temperature of fiber will rise and thus results in an increase of dry heat flow and a decrease in latent heat flow across the fabric [11]. The absorbed/desorbed moisture of fibers and the water vapor in the enclosed microclimate in textiles compose the water content of the textile material, which can originate from the...
