Chapter 6 was concerned, with determining the probability of various failures leading to insufficient core cooling of a nuclear reactor. This chapter describes how the accident effects are calculated as the accident progresses from radionuclide release, radionuclide migration within the plant, escape from retaining structures, atmospheric radionuclide transport and the public health effects.

Ceramic materials that retain structural integrity to temperatures in the 2100 to 2400°F range have been the subject of research and development for many years. Researchers have in fact created small radial inflow turbines from structural ceramic material for possible use in automotive gas turbines. These experimental units have shown favorable properties in laboratory tests. However, several practical considerations pose potential stumbling blocks to their use in commercial systems, such as coefficients of expansion that are substantially different from those of the metals used in gas turbine construction. One may expect to find ceramic materials in use in industrial gas turbines in the future, first on...

The three most important properties of concrete used in calculations for load-bearing applications are the compressive strength, the tensile strength and the modulus. However, for certain applications, e.g. water-retaining structures, the permeability or porosity of the concrete will be a relevant design criterion and this is also considered here. 

In water-retaining structures or basement concrete subject to high hydrostatic pressure, materials of this type are generally not beneficial. However, some dampproofing admixtures do contain water-reducing admixtures and will result in a reduction in permeability under an applied hydrostatic head. In addition, the reduced capillary size and quantity will increase the hydrostatic pressure required to enter the concrete surface (see later). 

Table I lists isomorphous replacements for various metalloproteins. Consider zinc enzymes, most of which contain the metal ion firmly bound. The diamagnetic, colorless zinc atom contributes very little to those physical properties that can be used to study the enzymes. Thus it has become conventional to replace this metal by a different metal that has the required physical properties (see below) and as far as is possible maintains the same activity. Although this aim may be achieved to a high degree of approximation [e.g., replacement of zinc by cobalt(II)], no such replacement is ever exact. This stresses the extreme degree of biological specificity. The action of an enzyme depends precisely on the exact metal it uses, stressing again the peculiarity of biological action associated with the idiosyncratic nature of active sites. (The entatic state of the metal ion is an essential part of this peculiarity.) Despite this specificity, the replacement method has provided a wealth of information about proteins that could not have been obtained by other methods. Clearly, there will often be a compromise in the choice of replacement. Even isomorphous replacement that should retain structure will not necessarily retain activity at all. However, it has become clear that substitutions can be made for structural studies where the substituted protein is inactive (e.g., in the copper proteins and the iron-sulfur proteins). It is also possible to substitute into metal coenzymes. Many studies have been reported of the...

Haaland also measured the infrared spectra of benzene adsorbed on Pt/Al203 that had been regenerated after previous benzene/cyclohexane adsorptions (247) the surface was thought to retain structured carbonaceous deposits. In this case, the broad yCH feature was centered at ca. 3030 cm 1 (with components at 3042, 3031, 3024, and 3014 cm 1) rather than 3040 cm 1 for the species on the freshly prepared catalyst, and a weaker companion band occurred at 2947 cm-1. The benzene absorption bands at wavenumbers <1500 cm 1 were little changed in position but become more prominent in room-temperature spectra in which the 2947-cm 1 feature was weakened. Spectra measured over the range 300-650 K showed that the 2947-cm 1 feature disappeared at 435 K, whereas the vCH aromatic bands retained considerable intensity at temperatures up to 560 K. 

There are three basic preparation techniques in light microscopical methods. Which is used depends on such factors as the necessity to retain structural relationships for high resolution work, the nature of the issue (basic chemico-structural information, resolution of organoleptic issues), etc. The preparative methods used are smears (or comminution) handsections or cryosections and sections of fixed, embedded product. 

In a study by Buckeridge and coworkers the solvolyses of the epimeric tricyclic tosylates 113 and 114 shown below were examined. Hydrolysis of the cis tosylate 113 gave only alcohol of retained structure. Hydrolysis of the corresponding Trans tosylate 114 on the other hand proceeded slowly and yielded a complex mixture of products. 

Polyurethane sealants have taken a good share in today s sealant market. Polysulphide sealants are in greater use for water-retaining structures, and silicone sealants for structural glazing purposes but polyurethanes have a greater market share as construction sealants. These sealants were first introduced to the construction industry in the early 1970s as two-component materials.

Stages in the biogeochemical alteration of sterols to aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon products (from Mackenzie et al., 1982). Sterols provide a good example of how some compounds can undergo substantial biogeochemical alteration and yet retain structural characteristics that are clearly traceable to their hydrocarbon source.
