Metallurgical Examination of HRT Leak Detector Tubing and Flanges (open access)

Metallurgical Examination of HRT Leak Detector Tubing and Flanges

After several failures had occurred in the HRT leak detector system, several lengths of this tubing were removed for metallurgical examination. The tubing was of type 304 stainless steel and was 1/4" in diameter with a 0.065 wall. The tubing had been purchased as three different lots, the first in 45 ft. lengths and the other two as standards lengths. Tubing from the first lot was used primarily for the shield penetration and, therefore, sections of it are present in all lines of the system. It appears that chloride contamination entered the system in a portion of the first lot of tubing used for the shield penetration. The exact source of the chloride cannot be determined, but after considering the results and visiting the manufacturer's plant, it appears most likely the contamination was during the manufacturing process.

State of Matter at High Pressure

Abstract. The region where exact thermodynamic description of the state of matter at high pressure and high temperature is possible is located. In the remaining region various approximate theories and empirical relations are discussed. These considerations are applied to hydrogen to locate the density and pressure at which the diatomic bond collapses. Also the approximate conditions are determined at which no bound electron states exist.

The 2010 Oil Spill: Criminal Liability Under Wildlife Laws (open access)

The 2010 Oil Spill: Criminal Liability Under Wildlife Laws

This report highlights the possible ways to prosecute those who caused the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The report suggests that prosecution can be done under laws such as the ESA (Endangered Species Act) or the MMPA (Marine Mammal Protection Act) both of which provide for civil and criminal punishment. However, the most likely law to be used will be the MBTA (Migratory Bird Treatment Act) which makes it a crime to kill migratory birds. The report suggests that the MBTA would be the best method to prosecute for criminal liability.
