Table 15.1. Friction Coefficient Decrease in Russian-Made Rubbers after XeF2 Treatment...

It is very important to know how surface fluorination affects the stability of tribological characteristics. In the case of Russian-made rubbers we used a standard friction machine (SMT), where abrading was done with a stainless steel instead of a conventional brass grid so that the test would be more rigorous. The results obtained are shown in Table 15.3. 

There is evidence that the Greeks, Egyptians, Hebrews, Japanese, Chinese, and Russians made alcoholic beverages thousands of years ago. Alcohol (ethanol, ethyl alcohol, and grain alcohol) is produced by yeast fermentation of sugar in fruits and grains to make wine, beer, or a variety of alcoholic spirits, including gin, vodka, and scotch. 

Economics and politics also intersected in Whitehall s perception in 1956 of the Soviet Union as a threat to Britain s share of international trade. In May of that year, when arguing that Britain could not afford a policy of perfection in defence, Eden noted that there was evidence that the Russians intended to concentrate on industrial exports. In order to be able to meet this competition, part of the burden placed on British industry by defence orders must be reduced, so as to release resources for civil production. In present circumstances, he said, economic failure was a more serious risk than global war, and defence plans had to be adjusted to this revised political assessment. He added that a recent report from the ambassador in Washington showed that President Eisenhower was thinking along the same lines.The Russians made no secret of their intentions. In November 1957 Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet leader, declared in a visit to the United States in the peaceful field of trade we declare a war. The threat to the United States is not in the intercontinental ballistic missile but in the field of peaceful production. We are relentless in this and will prove the superiority of our system. ... 

Steam was supplied from a stationary boiler plant of the DKUR-10/39 type provided with Russian-made PSP equipment and with a "Takuma" Japanese-made steam injection equipment. The following numbered wells were used for steam injection block 1 wells 354, 356, 376 and 383 block U wells 256 and 257. In block I the steam treatment began in May 1970, and in block II, February 1970. 

Another two models of Russian-made steam generating installations are PR-86-160 and PR-71-60. They have steam outputs of 86 and 71 t/hr, respectively, and are characterized by maximum degree of integradon. 

Staple fibre aramid yams were sourced from three different manufacturers in various linear densities. The stress/strain curves of the 100% aramid yams are shown in Fig. 7.17. It can be observed from the figure that initial modulus of all the staple fibre aramids is more or less the same. The exception being the Russian made Ruslan aramid, which is a continous filament yam with 200 filaments with 100 turns per metre. Though initial modulus for all the staple fibre aramid yams is the same, the yams made by Tilsatec exhibited very low tenacity and required the least effort (work of mpture) to break the yam. This was the case with the Ruslan yam, too, as it required just 1644 cNcm to break the yam as compared to 5281-7332 cNcm for the other staple... 

It is well known that corrosion processes are enhanced if there are high levels of impurities in the water. Therefore, to keep the level of impurities low, an ion exchange purification system has been employed since startup in the MIR reactor coohng pool. This system includes a heat exchanger, a pump, two filters with a total capacity of 800 L, a flowmeter, shut-off valves and other fittings. The filters are filled with Russian made nuclear grade ion exchange resins KU-2-8 (cationic) and AV-17-8 (anionic) in the ratio of 2 1. This system provides reduction of the specific p activity by more than a factor of 10. When this index drops to a factor of 2, the resin is replaced otherwise, as a rule, it is replaced once a year. 

Use of supercritical steam cycle with parameters compatible with the Russian-made supercritical turbines K-1200-240LMZ ... 

Data on corrosion rates obtained in experiments with molten Li,Be,Th,U/F mixtures for the 304SS and 316SS at ORNL [38] as weU as later at NRC-KI [15] for the Russian made austenitic steels 12H18N10T and AP-164, agree well with each other. It is possible that a molten salt can be made adequately reducing to allow iron-base alloys to be used. This possibility must be pursued experimentally, because thermodynamic and kinetic data are not available to allow an analytical determination.
