  • Oral Abstracts
    1734-A-1902 Model systems for heterogeneous catalysts at the atomic level Hans-Joachim Freund1 1 Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft Our understanding of catalysis, and in particular heterogeneous catalysis, is to a large extent based on the investigation of model systems. Increasing the complexity of the models towards oxide supported nanoparticles, resembling a real disperse metal catalyst, allows one to catch in the model some of the important aspects that cannot be covered by metal or oxide single crystals per se. The main purpose of our studies is to provide conceptual insight into questions concerned with a variety of topics in catalysis, including support nanoparticle interaction, reactivity at the particle-support interface, strong metal support interaction, reactions in confined space and development of new instrumentation for surface science studies. The talk will address some of those issues. 1 1773-A-1902 Special metallic gasket sealing for the non-circular profile flanges Gao-Yu Hsiung1 1 NSRRC, Hsinchu, Taiwan Various types of the metallic gaskets for the non-circular profile flanges and the potential applications will be introduced. The sealing surface of flange is flat to accommodate the special metallic gasket with knife edges for the sealing. Both the flange and gasket are made of aluminum alloys and produced by the oil-free Ethanol-CNC-machining process that any non-circular profile, e. g. race-track, rectangular, key-hole, etc., flanges can be made. All the flanges and gaskets after oil-free machining can be assembled immediately without any chemical cleaning. The quality of ultrahigh vacuum at pressure < 20 nPa after vacuum baking has been approved.

    IAEA SAFETY RELATED PUBLICATIONS IAEA SAFETY STANDARDS Under the terms of Article III of its Statute, the IAEA is authorized to establish or adopt standards of safety for protection of health and minimization of danger to life and property, and to provide for the application of these standards. The publications by means of which the IAEA establishes standards are issued in the IAEA Safety Standards Series. This series covers nuclear safety, radiation safety, transport safety and waste safety, and also general safety (i.e. all these areas of safety). The publication categories in the series are Safety Fundamentals, Safety Requirements and Safety Guides. Safety standards are coded according to their coverage: nuclear safety (NS), radiation safety (RS), transport safety (TS), waste safety (WS) and general safety (GS). Information on the IAEA’s safety standards programme is available at the IAEA Internet site http://www-ns.iaea.org/standards/ The site provides the texts in English of published and draft safety standards. The texts of safety standards issued in Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish, the IAEA Safety Glossary and a status report for safety standards under development are also available. For further information, please contact the IAEA at P.O. Box 100, 1400 Vienna, Austria. All users of IAEA safety standards are invited to inform the IAEA of experience in their use (e.g. as a basis for national regulations, for safety reviews and for training courses) for the purpose of ensuring that they continue to meet users’ needs. Information may be provided via the IAEA Internet site or by post, as above, or by email to [email protected].
