    Water for Life and Peace Smart Water for Green Schools in Ukraine Mission: providing sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation in Zhytomyr region General Information about Ukraine Location: Central Eastern Europe Capital: Kyiv Area: 603,000 km2 Population: 46 million people Ukraine consists of 24 oblasts and 1 autonomous republic of Crimea Neighbors: Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Russian Federation and Belarus Black and Azov Sea wash Ukraine at the South Major Ukrainian rivers: Dnieper (total length of 2285 km), Dniester (1352 km), Southern Bug (806 km), Desna (1187 km), Seversky Donets (1053 km). Ukraine has a large amount of transboundary river basins with the neighboring countries: the Republic of Belarus, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Moldova, Romania, Hungary, the Slovak Republic, Poland. Ukraine is a country with an insufficient water supply - about 1.6 km³ of waters per inhabitant per year. Water Situation in Ukraine 69 percent of the drinking water delivered to homes does not meet sanitary standards in Ukraine. Every year the quality deteriorates, and one of the reasons for this is a catastrophic state of public water supply system. Some 18 thousand cities and villages around Ukraine have no access to safe water. Inhabitants of more then 1’150 settlements have to use imported and/or bottled water and public wells for their daily needs. General Information about Zhytomyr Region The Zhytomyr region is located in the North Western part of Ukraine. It consists of 23 districts including Ovruch and has a population of 1,271,000 people. Nearly half of the population resides in rural areas.

Thanks also to the Europe team at PAX, particularly Andriy, Cinta, and Medina, for making the office a welcoming place for an internship, and of course for your help, knowledge, and encouragement of both my research and (unexpectedly multiple) trips to Ukraine. I also owe a great debt to my parents and grandmother, as without their considerable moral and financial support, my studies in the Netherlands would not have been possible. I should also mention that I greatly appreciate your restraint in not calling the British Embassy when I forget to contact you from the Ukrainian countryside.

  • State of the Art of Conductor Galloping
    STATE OF THE ART OF CONDUCTOR GALLOPING A complementary document to “Transmission line reference book –Wind-induced conductor motion Chapter 4: Conductor galloping,” Based on EPRI Research project 792 Task Force B2.11.06 Members: Lilien, Jean-Louis - Belgium (Convenor) Van Dyke, Pierre - Canada (Secretary) Asselin, Jean-Marie - Canada Farzaneh, Masoud - Canada Halsan, Kjell - Norway Havard, Dave - Canada Hearnshaw, Dave - England Laneville, André - Canada Mito, Masataka - Japan Rawlins, Charles B. - USA St-Louis, Michel - Canada Sunkle, Dave - USA Vinogradov, Alexandre - Russia International expert who contributed: Yamaguchi, Hiroki - Japan The authors of this brochure have asked detailed comments to: Tunstall, M.J. (former chairman of B2.11.06) - UK Ervik, M. - Norway Obrö, H. - Denmark Okumura, T. - Japan Shkaptsov, V. - Russia FOREWORD TO THE GALLOPING BROCHURE Of all the wind induced motions of Overhead Transmission Line conductors or other suspended cables, galloping is the most noticeable and spectacular and the resulting damage can be equally dramatic and very costly, with broken conductors and fittings, damaged tower components and even whole towers collapsing! The consequential economic and social costs of power loss to whole areas can also be very considerable. Galloping is an oscillation of single or bundled conductors due to wind action on an ice or wet snow accretion on the conductors, although there are recorded instances of non-ice galloping arising from the conductor profile presented to the wind. Conductor motions are characterised by amplitudes that may approach or exceed the conductor sag (possibly >10m) and depending on the amplitudes and number of loops, frequencies up to 3 Hz. Galloping of conductors received particular emphasis by incorporation of a CORECH work group within Task Force 6 (Galloping) of CIGRE SCB2 WG11.

  • 3 Assessment of Environmental Impact Degree
    Abstract This report contains calculations and justification of radiation impact of radioactive releases from SS Rivne NPP on the environment and the population during normal operation and in emergency cases in a transboundary context. All calculations have been performed for conservative conditions of impurity propagation and radiation dose formation (at maximum doses). It has been shown that maximum permissible values of radiation criteria for equivalent and absorbed doses in body organs and the entire body at borders with other countries, as defined by regulatory documents, are met during normal operation of power units, or in case of design basis or beyond design basis accidents. It has been justified that planned activities have no major transboundary impact, and there is no affected party in terms of the Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context. In execution of para. 8, Art. 3 of Convention on Access to Public Information, posting the information on environmental impact of the planned activities in a transboundary context at common access Internet resources, e. g. on websites of the government authorities concerned - the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine and the Ministry of Energy and Coal Industry of Ukraine - will suffice. The report contains 68 pages, including 14 figures and 27 tables. Keywords: NPP, radiation dose, maximum design basis accident, beyond design basis accident, transboundary impact. 4 Contents ABSTRACT ......................................................................................................................................................................
