The recognition in 1940 that deuterium as heavy water [7789-20-0] has nuclear properties that make it a highly desirable moderator and coolant for nuclear reactors (qv) (8,9) fueled by uranium (qv) of natural isotopic composition stimulated the development of industrial processes for the manufacture of heavy water. Between 1940 and 1945 four heavy water production plants were operated by the United States Government, one in Canada at Trail,... 

The RCRA manifest requirements (40 CFR Parts 262 and 263) must be complied with for all wastes that are shipped off site. The regulations for transportation of hazardous wastes by the U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S. EPA, and states and local regulation agencies, should be complied with. A knowledge of RCRA regulations (40 CFR Parts 261-265) and other regulations developed by State Governments is required to determine the feasibility of off-site disposal. 

Hydrogen can be made from water by electrolysis or by the photoelec-trochemical processes. The second is just being developed and is in its early research state of development. Therefore, these photoelectrochemical processes are very inefficient at this time. If the reader is interested in the state of the art of this technology, the work of T. E. Mallouk at Penn State University and the reports of government scientists John Turner or Mark Spitzer can be consulted. 

This paper presents the author s personal observations and conclusions derived from experience in hazardous waste regulatory program development at the state government level. Over the course of the past several years the State of Louisiana has been developing a very complex and comprehensive hazardous... 

Food laws developed in various countries reflect the way governments are organized and the state of development of the food industry. Different interpretations of scientific and nutritional information can result in establishment of different standards. This is demonstrated by the comparison of Canadian and U.S. rules on flour enrichment (Table 12-2).
