Water is present in numerous applications of polymer materials. It is one of the factors contributing to the ageing of polymers, and it causes significant changes of the mechanical properties. In many polymers, water causes plasticisation. Therefore, understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of plasticisation is of interest. For the large group of the technologically most important polyurethane (PU) materials, knowledge on the ageing mechanisms on a molecular level, particularly on the impact of water, and on their effect on macroscopic material properties is still incomplete (cf. e.g. [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]). In the literature, studies sometimes miss important details like chemical composition, morphology or glass transition of the examined PU (e.g. [1, 4, 7, 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]). Other publications focus on chemical ageing effects but do not consider the consequences on macroscopic material properties (e.g. [2, 3, 17,18,19,20,21]). Concerning the role of water, papers like [5, 6, 22, 23] describe quantitative aspects but very many (e.g. [1, 4, 7, 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16, 24,25,26,27,28]) are content with a qualitative description. Cross-linked PUs are much less studied than thermoplastic PUs. In conclusion, the state of the art on ageing of PU materials is coined by an incomplete understanding of the basic mechanisms and their implication on structure and physical properties (cf. also the recent reviews [29, 30]).
With its well-defined chemical structure, the PU9010 of this study is a representative prototype for the large and technologically important group of cross-linked amorphous poly(ether urethane) materials.
The RTG was invented in 1954 by Mound Laboratories scientists Kenneth (Ken) C. Jordan (1921-2008) and John Birden (1918-2011).[1][2] They were inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2013.[3][4] Jordan and Birden worked on an Army Signal Corps contract (R-65-8- 998 11-SC-03-91) beginning on 1 January 1957, to conduct research on radioactive materials and thermocouples suitable for the direct conversion of heat to electrical energy using polonium-210 as the heat source. RTGs were developed in the US during the late 1950s by Mound Laboratories in Miamisburg, Ohio, under contract with the United States Atomic Energy Commission. The project was led by Dr. Bertram C. Blanke.[5]
Radioactive materials contained in RTGs are dangerous and can even be used for malicious purposes. They are barely useful for a genuine nuclear weapon, but still can serve in a \"dirty bomb\". The Soviet Union constructed many uncrewed lighthouses and navigation beacons powered by RTGs using strontium-90 (90Sr). They are very reliable and provide a steady source of power. Most have no protection, not even fences or warning signs, and the locations of some of these facilities are no longer known due to poor record keeping. In one instance, the radioactive compartments were opened by a thief.[8] In another case, three woodsmen in Tsalendzhikha Region, Georgia found two ceramic RTG orphan sources that had been stripped of their shielding; two of the woodsmen were later hospitalized with severe radiation burns after carrying the sources on their backs. The units were eventually recovered and isolated.[27] There are approximately 1,000 such RTGs in Russia, all of which have long since exceeded their designed operational lives of ten years. Most of these RTGs likely no longer function, and may need to be dismantled. Some of their metal casings have been stripped by metal hunters, despite the risk of radioactive contamination.[28] Transforming the radioactive material into an inert form reduces the danger of theft by people unaware of the radiation hazard (such as happened in the Goiânia accident in an abandoned Cs-137 source where the Caesium was present in easily water-soluble Caesium chloride form). However, a sufficiently chemically skilled malicious actor could extract a volatile species from inert material and/or achieve a similar effect of dispersion by physically grinding the inert matrix into a fine dust.
To minimize the risk of the radioactive material being released, the fuel is stored in individual modular units with their own heat shielding. They are surrounded by a layer of iridium metal and encased in high-strength graphite blocks. These two materials are corrosion- and heat-resistant. Surrounding the graphite blocks is an aeroshell, designed to protect the entire assembly against the heat of reentering the Earth's atmosphere. The plutonium fuel is also stored in a ceramic form that is heat-resistant, minimising the risk of vaporization and aerosolization. The ceramic is also highly insoluble.

Purpose of guidelineThis guideline outlines the requirements for the submission of a notice of project (NOP-H) specifically in regards to asbestos for short-duration, intermittent repair, maintenance, or clean-up work. The guideline is for use by employers who conduct periodic repairs or other minor disturbances of friable asbestos-containing materials, as part of an ongoing operations and maintenance program, and for certain types of periodic emergency repair or debris cleanup.
NOP-H (specific to asbestos) for ongoing intermittent repair or maintenance workWith the prior permission of WorkSafeBC, an employer may submit a single NOP-H for work with asbestos-containing material that may take place over an extended period of time. This will be of use to employers who conduct periodic minor repairs or other minor disturbances of asbestos-containing materials as part of an ongoing operations and maintenance program, and for certain types of periodic emergency work. An initial ongoing NOP-H will typically be accepted for a period of one year. A subsequent ongoing NOP-H may be accepted for periods of up to three years.
An ongoing NOP-H will not be granted for work that includes abatement or demolition of asbestos-containing materials that would normally be performed by an asbestos abatement or restoration contractor.
This guideline provides further explanation of the work activities that significantly disturbs lead-containing materials in buildings or structures. Also, this guideline provides examples of work activities that normally would not require an NOP form to be submitted.
Significant disturbance of lead-containing materialsAn NOP must be submitted for a work activity that significantly disturbs lead-containing materials in buildings or structures associated with a construction project. This lead work activity may expose workers to a significant risk of occupational disease where it generates lead dust, fumes, or mist in the air or on surfaces.
Purpose of guidelineThis guideline provides examples of \"equipment and materials\" under section 20.4(2) of the Regulation, discusses coordination among workplace parties, and provides examples of safe delivery, interior access, and material handling practices.
\"Equipment and materials\" under section 20.4(2)Examples of equipment and materials delivered to building construction sites include but are not limited to drywall, appliances, cabinets, concrete, powered concrete finishing equipment, and trusses. Examples of equipment and materials delivered to road and municipal services construction sites include but are not limited to pipes, hydrants, valves, manhole sections, and portable powered compactors.
CoordinationPrime contractors, owners, employers, supervisors, sub-contractors, and delivery companies all have responsibilities, and must work together to plan and ensure that suitable access is maintained for safe delivery to locations where equipment and materials will be used. See general duty sections under the OHS provisions of the Workers Compensation Act.
Appropriate material handling equipmentEnsure material handling equipment, such as boom trucks, rough terrain cranes, forklifts, and telescoping boom lifts, are suitable for use on the site terrain and have sufficient reach and capacity to handle the equipment and materials to the location where workers can safely handle materials and equipment manually.
It is not considered impracticable to fully deploy all outriggers if the purpose is just toIncrease convenience or save moneyAvoid repositioning the pumpAvoid moving stored materials that might reasonably be movedIf the manufacturer's instructions are not available, or do not address the means of deployment where full deployment is not practicable, the following are guiding principles for determining the \"safe work practices\" under section 4.3(1)(b)(ii) of the Regulation:
The inspection and certification processThe employer or owner of the equipment should consult the certifying professional in advance to arrange the location of the inspection, testing, and necessary repair work, and to ensure qualified people and adequate facilities are used. Generally the \"hands on\" part of the inspection, testing, and repair will be done by mechanics, service technicians, non-destructive testing (NDT) technicians, and other qualified workers as necessary (for example, welders), working under the direction of the certifying professional.
Purpose of guidelineDemolition, renovation, and salvage work involve the taking apart and destruction, in whole or in part, of buildings, structures, equipment, and machinery. These processes have the potential to create harmful exposures to hazardous materials. Section 20.112(1) of the Regulation lists several types of hazardous materials which must be identified and either safely contained or safely removed prior to demolition, renovation, or salvage work. Asbestos is one of these materials. 153554b96e
