NATURAL ENVIRONMENTAL SOURCES OF ALPHA-EMITTING RADIONUCLIDES APPENDIX L. TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENTS IN WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITS FOR THE BURIAL OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY TRANSURANIC WASTES by J. W. Healy and J. C. Rodgera EXECUTIVE SUtMARY Racommaodad limits are derivad for tha burial of solid wastes contaminated with transuranium elements as ganeratad in Department of Energy facilities. The limiting exposure to future populations, used as a basis for the calculations, was 0.5 ram/year to the maximum exposed organ of the individual deemed to have the highest exposure to the transuranium elements for eaoh pathway. This dose rate, applied to the dose rata ooeurrlng during a 70 year lifetime of the maximum exposed individual, was derived as applieable after review of the recommendations of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Maaauremants, The Intammtlooal Counell on Rmdlologioal Protection, The Federal Radiation Council and Tha Enrlron—ntml Proteotlon Agency. Before the actual pathway analyses ware dona, oaloulatlons ware made of the dose to an individual from inhalation or ingestion of the transuranium elements and these values ware applied to obtain a soil limit based upon an individual living on the area. Tha Am limit la partloularly uncertain because of the lack of inforaatioc on the diet. We assumed that the ^"^Am uptake from the G: Tract was tan tlmas hl«bar than that of plutonlum and this resulted in ingestion being the oontrolling pathway. Major Pathways oonsiderad ware: 1) Erosion of tha wastes into a nearby stream after several thousands of yeara; 2) Leaching of the transuranic waste to an aquifer; 3) Intrusion into the waste mass; and *) Exposure of the wistes by erosion, or other mechanism, with peopl* living in the area. Other pethwaya reviewed, but not treated in such detail, were movement to the surface by plant uptake, movement to the surface by burrowing animals and severe events, such as flooding, meteor impact or glacial •'^tion. The intrusion pathway was calculated but firm recommendation^ ^^re not aad« on this pathway because of differences in the Task Group as to the propriety of considering intrusion as a valid source of exposure. This arises from feelings, on one hand, that warnings are adequate with anyone disregarding thea bringing the risk upon himself; and, on the other hand, a distrust of being able to maintain such warnings over centuries. It was the recommendation of the Group that the applicability of this pathway should be reviewed by the decislon-maksra, perhaps with the advice of individuals skilled in the legal, ethical and sociological aspects of the matter. The intrusion pathways ware oaloulatad to limit the doae rate to artifact hunters. In addition to the exposure during the digging in a search for artifacts, s«a*face contamination limits are derivad for solid objects, such as tools or glassware, and lower limits are derived for trash packaged in plaatic because of the evidence tl»t current plastics delay the degradation.

  • Dead Alive, Dead Outside, Alive Inside” “
    24683_U01.qxd 11/15/04 12:53 PM Page 1 Introduction “Dead alive, dead outside, alive inside” “In my thinking, I see that people forgot me.” Catarina said this to me as she sat peddling an old exercise bicycle and holding a doll. This woman of kind manners, with a piercing gaze, was in her early thirties; her speech was lightly slurred. I first met Catarina in March 1997, in southern Brazil at a place called Vita. I remember asking myself: where on earth does she think she is going on this bicycle? Vita is the end- point. Like many others, Catarina had been left there to die. Vita, which means “life” in Latin, is an asylum in Porto Alegre, a com- paratively well-off city of some two million people. Vita was founded in 1987 by Zé das Drogas, a former street kid and drug dealer. After his conversion to Pentecostalism, Zé had a vision in which the Spirit told him to open an institution where people like him could find God and regenerate their lives. Zé and his religious friends squatted on private property near downtown, where they began a makeshift rehabilitation center for drug addicts and al- coholics. Soon, however, the scope of Vita’s mission began to widen. An in- creasing number of people who had been cut off from family life—the men- tally ill and the sick, the unemployed and the homeless—were left there by relatives, neighbors, hospitals, and the police. Vita’s team then opened an in- firmary, where the abandoned waited with death.

THE X-FILES: PAST AND PRESENT PORTRAYALS OF CHINA’S ALIEN “LEGAL SYSTEM” RANDALL PEERENBOOM∗ The celebration of the seventy-fifth birthday of Professor William Jones, long one of the leading China-law scholars and educators in the United States, provides an appropriate occasion to reflect on developments in teaching and researching Chinese law in recent years and to look forward to the future. Critical self-reflection is especially important at this time because China’s legal system has undergone significant changes in the last two and a half decades, creating unique challenges and opportunities for China legal specialists and comparative law scholars. Limited access to China during much of the Mao era and particularly during the Cultural Revolution greatly impaired the ability of legal scholars to do research and understand legal developments.

I would also like to express my deep gratitude to my colleagues at Arendal Upper Secondary School, Steinar Tvedt, Inger Johanne Hermansen, Ane Kristine Bruland and Ida Wullum for their patient guidance and useful critique of my writing in English. Finally, I wish to thank my father, a proud working-class man, for his support and encouragement throughout my whole life. Throughout his life, he was never able to read English. Therefore, he “forced” me to translate my work for him. The Nazi-form of evil with Himmler, Mengele and Eichmann concerned him. Often, he asked me, how could a man (Eichmann) be that blinded? Without my father giving me motivation, I would never have come this far in my studies. 1 CONTENTS ABSTRACT …..5 CHAPTER 1, INTRODUCTION 1.1) General introduction of evil in movies …..6-7 1.2) My Research Question ……7 1.3) A short overview on the typologies of evil …..7-9 1.4) Defining evil …..9-10 1.5) A critique and defense of evil ….10-12 1.6) What is The X-files about? ….12-14 1.7) Why explore The X-Files? …..14-15 CHAPTER 2, METHODS 2.1) Theory and applied ethics …..16-18 2.2) Specific evil episodes as subjects for research and constructing analysis chapters ..18-19 2.3) The importance of using scientific work related to movies and evil …..19-21 2.4) Methodological inspiration for my thesis, work done by Dean A.
