  • 157 Doel (Summary)
    INTRODUCTION AND MAIN CONCLUSIONS INTRODUCTION At the request of the government of the Kingdom of Belgium, an IAEA Operational Safety Review Team (OSART) of international experts visited Doel Nuclear Power Plant from 8 to 25 March 2010. The purpose of the mission was to review operating practices in the areas of Management organization and administration; Training and qualification; Operations; Maintenance; Technical support; Operating experience, Radiation protection; Chemistry and Emergency planning and preparedness. In addition, an exchange of technical experience and knowledge took place between the experts and their plant counterparts on how the common goal of excellence in operational safety could be further pursued. The Doel OSART mission was the 157 th in the programme, which began in 1982. The team was composed of experts from France, China, United Kingdom, United States of America, Switzerland, Sweden, Canada, Finland, and Hungary together with the IAEA staff members and observers from Czech Republic and Russia. The collective nuclear power experience of the team was approximately 378 years. The Doel nuclear power plant is located in the Port of Antwerp, on the Schelde river, a few kilometers from the border between Belgium and the Netherlands. The plant is owned principally by Electrabel which belongs to the GDF SUEZ Group. The plant has 961 Electrabel employees and about 350 permanent contractor staff on site. The plant operates units 1 and 2 with 433 MWe net power each and units 3 and 4 with 1006 and 1040 MWe net power respectively. According to the request of the Federal Agency for Nuclear Control (FANC) units 1 and 2 were the main scope of the OSART review.

It can be divided into the estuary uses, safety and environmental non-tidal Upper Scheldt and the tidally conditions: influenced Lower Scheldt which Navigation conditions are impacted includes the Flemish Sea Scheldt (from due to lower water levels at low Gent to the Belgian-Dutch border) and water; the Dutch Western Scheldt (from the Flood risk is increased due to higher border to the mouth at Vlissingen). The water levels at high water; Flemish Sea Scheldt is further divided in The capacity for photosynthesis is the Lower Sea Scheldt (from the border decreased due to higher turbidity to upstream Antwerp) and the Upper caused by higher current velocities. Sea Scheldt (from Antwerp to upstream For these reasons, commercial sand Gent). exploitation in the estuary is seen as a pressure which should be eliminated. Long-term sediment strategy As part of a new long-term sediment strategy, Scheldt estuary management authorities and associated stakeholders are searching for solutions to address this pressure. A proposed solution is to search for new locations to relocate the dredged sediment to eliminate the need for commercial sand exploitation and Source: Report ‘Systeemanalyse Natuur schelde-estuarium’ thus keep all sediment in the estuary. (Illustrations by Zuidhof A., rvo.nl) One new relocation site was found in Current Situation in the Scheldt the Lower Sea Scheldt (Flanders) and Estuary introduced in 2017.

  • How Rembrandt Surpassed the Ancients, Italians and Rubens As the Master of ‘The Passions of the Soul’1 63­
    bmgn - Low Countries Historical Review | Volume 129-2 (2014) | pp. 63-89 How Rembrandt surpassed the Ancients, Italians and Rubens as the Master of ‘the Passions of the Soul’1 63­ eric jan sluijter The passions had to be rendered through the movements of the human figure (Van Mander); however it was an Italian cliché that Netherlandish artists were not able to depict figures properly. This article demonstrates how Rembrandt from his earliest works promoted the image of being the master of the lijdingen des gemoeds. Throughout his career Rembrandt aspired to surpass the artists of antiquity and the Italians through the portrayal of the passions to arouse the strongest possible empathy in the viewer, as Huygens immediately recognised. It is argued that concepts grafted onto classical rhetoric, such as oogenblikkige beweging (a term of his pupil Van Hoogstraten; a violent movement due to a sudden reversal of emotion that involves the viewer forcefully) were paramount in his earlier period, and in which one finds parallels with the Senecan-Scaligerian tragedies popular at that time. In contrast, in his later works Rembrandt avoided any movement, realising that the depiction of violent motion undermines the persuasiveness of the still image; he forces the viewer to imagine the inner conflicts in the minds of the protagonists who recognise their fate. To engage the viewer powerfully through a radical ‘from life’ ideology (situating himself in a northern tradition) was for Rembrandt a central concern in his continuous competition with the greatest exponents of his art (Titian, Rubens). © 2014 Royal Netherlands Historical Society | knhg Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License urn:nbn:nl:ui:10-1-110091 | www.bmgn-lchr.nl | e-issn 2211-2898 | print issn 0615-0505 batavian phlegm?
