  • Radioactive Materials in Southern England
    Radioactive 1997 Update Paul Mobbs, Materials in October 1997 Southern England Paul Mobbs, 3 Grosvenor Road, Banbury, Oxon. OX16 8HN. 01295 261864 (telephone & fax) Email - [email protected] Website - http://www.gn.apc.org/pmhp/ Introduction Many people consider that much of Britain's problems with nuclear materials are restricted to Cumbria, or at a very few nuclear power stations across the country - they are not. Every day radioactive materials are carried on our roads, and although much of what is carried is of minimal risk, some cargos, such as nuclear warheads, present a major risk to the public. In southern England there are a number of sites which release radioactivity into the environment. There are also sites which store 'low' and 'intermediate' level radioactive waste, and sites which contribute to the transport of radioactive material by rail or road as part of their everyday operation. The purpose of this briefing is to highlight the range of sites that exist in southern England, and the campaigns opportunities they present. Radioactive materials in southern England There six main activities at involving radioactive materials in southern England... · Nuclear reactors: There are no active nuclear power stations in southern England. The nearest operation plants are Dungeness in Kent, and Hinkley Point in Somerset and Oldbury in Gloucestershire. There was a nuclear power reactor at Winfrith in Dorset, but this has now closed and is being decommissioned. There is also a closed power station at Berkley on the Severn Estuary. There were a number of reactors for used for research purposes at Harwell and Aldermaston, but these had all closed by 1991.

    FINE WATER SPRAYS FOR FIRE PROTECTIOS - A HALON REPLACEiMENT OPTION P G PAPAVERGOS BP RESEARCH, Sunbury Research Centre, Sunbury-on-Thames, Middlesex TW 16 7LN figland, LK. 1. INTODUCTION 8; BACKGROUhD For thousands of years water has been the most widely used extinguishant For all types of fires known to mankind. Despite all the technological advances in Fire protection, water still maintains its lead today. This is attributable to the unique physical properties OF water, its abundance and benign nature. Although over the years it has been generally recognised that Finely divided drops of water increase extinguishing propensity, little has been done to exploit this phenomenon funher, with a view to arriving at an advanced Fire protection concept For practical use. BP’s contribution to active Fire protection emerged From the other side of the spectrum in this Field. Over the years considerable work on the atomisation of liquid fuels For efficient combustion, has generated experrise in producing customised design nozzles For in-house use. With a sound knowledge in practical fluid dynamics and combustion, the technology was adapted to Fire suppression by the simple substitution of air and water For steam and oil respectively, in a climate OF striving for a cleaner environment. Since the initial fire trials, which set out to prove the concept, several fire scenarios simulating actual circumstances were tested, using fine warer sprays, with considerable success to-date. This has lent confidence to advance this technology funher to areas where currently Halon is used For loss control and to compare its relative performance against Fine water sprays.

  • Opportunities for Fine Coal Utilisation
    Opportunities for fine coal utilisation Mark Lewitt CCC/185 ISBN 978-92-9029-505-1 August 2011 copyright © IEA Clean Coal Centre Abstract Coal is prepared to meet end -user requirements such as limits on the proportion of fine coal and ash forming minerals in the product. Preparation methods leave residues of fine material which can have a wide range of compositions from a good coal product to very high ash, surface moisture and sulphur contents. Regardless of composition, at the time of generation of these residues no market for them existed and so large amounts (estimated as about 58 Gt) have been deposited around the world in heaps or in slurry impoundments. Changes to the value of coal and developments in coal preparation and utilisation technologies have enabled increasing amounts of these materials to be recovered and used. The report provides an overview of the resource and opportunities for utilisation.
