Deadly Meltdown – Chernobyl By JOHN GREENWALD May 12‚ 1986 – TIME Magazine The first warning came in Sweden. At 9 a.m. on Monday‚ April 28‚ technicians at the Forsmark Nuclear Power Plant‚ 60 miles north of Stockholm‚ noticed disturbing signals blipping across their computer screens. Those signals revealed abnormally high levels of radiation‚ a sure sign of serious trouble. At first suspecting difficulties in their own reactors‚ the engineers searched frantically for a leak. When they found nothing

Case: AMERICAN CHEMICAL CORPORATION 1. Executive Summary Dixon‚ an American specialty chemical producer‚ wants to buy Collinsville plant from American Chemical Corporation‚ another typical chemical company in 1979. Dixon wants to diversify its product line buy acquiring the aforesaid plant‚ which produces sodium-chlorate to supply to paper producers in Southeastern part of the US. This plant initially cost 12 mln. USD and additional 2‚25 mln. USD needed to buy laminate technology to increase efficiency

NUCLEAR REACTORS A nuclear reactor is a device to initiate and control a sustained nuclear chain reaction. Nuclear reactors are used at nuclear power plants for electricity generation and in propulsion of ships. Heat from nuclear fission is passed to a working fluid (water or gas)‚ which runs through turbines. These either drive a ship’s propellers or turn electrical generators. Nuclear generated steam in principle can be used for industrial process heat or for district heating. Some reactors are

Ballpoint pen Ballpoint pen is a pen that used nowadays‚ using a smooth rolling point of the tip in the pen. Unlike fountain pen‚ you don’t need to fill in ink for writing. The first patent on a ballpoint pen was issued on 30 October 1888‚ to John Loud‚ a leather tanner‚ who was attempting to make a writing instrument that would be able to write on his leather products‚ which then-common fountain pens could not do. In the period between 1904 and 1946‚ particularly alternatives or improvements

Even apart from its rarity and value‚ diamond is a remarkable mineral (Murck‚ B. W.‚ Skinner‚ B. J.‚ & Mackenzie‚ D. (2008). Diamonds are pure elemental carbon‚ the same chemical found in graphite and charcoal. Carbon-12 is the most important atom living in beings‚ besides being the sole component of diamond‚ graphite and coal. Diamonds are fascinating. They are chemically resistant and it is the hardest natural known substance. Diamonds also have special optical properties such as high index refraction

Spontaneous reactions occur without outside intervention. In an isolated system‚ natural processes are spontaneous when they lead to an increase in disorder‚ or entropy. They may occur quickly‚ like the combustion of hydrogen‚ or slowly‚ like when graphite turns to diamond. Ex: Ammonium nitrate dissolves spontaneously in water‚ even though energy is absorbed when this reaction takes place. H2O NH4NO3(s) NH4+(aq) + NO3-(aq) Ho = 28.05

THE HAMMER PFC GREEN‚ ALEX J. B CO 1/325th AIR 2 AUGUST 2013 The Hammer A hammer is a tool meant to deliver an impact to an object. The most common uses for hammers are to drive nails‚ fit parts‚ forge metal and break apart objects. Hammers are often designed for a specific purpose‚ and vary in their shape and structure. The term hammer is also used for some devices that are designed to deliver blows like the cap lock mechanism of firearms. The hammer is a basic tool of many professions
