25–Lucas County commissioners took another step yesterday toward building a $19 million energy plant in downtown Toledo that would heat and cool county-owned buildings using renewable resources like wood chips corn and sawdust. Their hope is that by reducing dependence on natural gas the project can eventually save the county hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in energy and maintenance costs. County officials expect the plant to one day pay for itself through its energy savings and that money saved would pay off bonds needed to finance it. The commissioners yesterday voted unanimously to award a contract to MDA Engineering Inc. of Maumee for commissioning services of up.
Japan’s Quake-Prone Atomic Plant Prompts Wider Worry
New York Times – Jul 25, 2007
But perhaps the most startling discovery occurred in the days that followed when scientists used data from the magnitude 6. 8 earthquake on July 16 to conclude that the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant the world’s largest by electrical output may have unknowingly been built directly on top of an active seismic fault. That could account for the force of the tremors which Tokyo Electric Power the operator of the plant said were more than twice as strong as the plant’s design limits. The earthquake which killed 11 people and destroyed hundreds of homes in Kashiwazaki a city nearby has raised discomforting questions about the safety of nuclear plants in Japan. The plants in this earthquake-prone nation are supposed to be nearly earthquake-proof built to withstand the most powerful punch. The Kashiwazaki plant’s surprising vulnerability to damage however has distressed many Japanese. The damage at the plant appeared to offer a vivid reminder of the risks of nuclear power as the United States Europe and countries elsewhere are giving atomic energy a second look as a clean plentiful alternative to oil and other fossil fuels… The earthquake which killed 11 people and destroyed hundreds of homes in Kashiwazaki a city nearby has raised discomforting questions about the safety of nuclear plants in Japan. The plants in this earthquake-prone nation are supposed to be nearly earthquake-proof built to withstand the most powerful punch. The Kashiwazaki plant’s surprising vulnerability to damage however has distressed many Japanese. The damage at the plant appeared to offer a vivid reminder of the risks of nuclear power as the United States Europe and countries elsewhere are giving atomic energy a second look as a clean plentiful alternative to oil and other fossil fuels. Resource-poor Japan kept building nuclear plants even after accidents like Three Mile Island in 1979 in the United States and Chernobyl in 1986 in Ukraine froze construction in the United States and parts of Europe for decades. Nuclear experts applaud the fact that all four of the Kashiwazaki plant’s seven reactors that were operating when the earthquake struck were safely shut down despite the unexpected strength of the tremors. But Tokyo Electric’s failure to predict the size of the tremors that could strike the area and to detect the fault line beneath the plant left many here wondering whether regulators and plant operators could also have underestimated the potential for devastating earthquakes at Japan’s 48 other nuclear reactors.

The drilling is to complete several separate phases of work on the project: – Installation of pump test and monitor wells for baseline and engineering data. – re body delineation wells to better define the ore body for wellfield planning. – Condemnation wells to assure that the plant site will not be built on an ore deposit. – Water wells for water for the drilling operation. The following work at Lost Creek was completed during the past six monthsand additional work is planned for the remainder of 2007:- A second round of pump testing was completed demonstrating above average flow rates and favourable conditions for ISR mining. A third round of pump testing is planned for August 2007. – 29 of 59 pump test and monitoring wells have been installed to date with the remainder to be installed during 2007… – 29 of 59 pump test and monitoring wells have been installed to date with the remainder to be installed during 2007. – 32 delineation drill holes of 195 delineation holes have been completed. The extensive delineation drilling program is to define the outer limits of mineralization for engineering wellfield design. – 2 additional water wells were completed away from the delineated wellfields. ne of the water wells intercepted 12 feet (3. 7 metres) of uranium-bearing sandstone at a grade of 0.

au) a worldwide leader in Dense Media Separation (DMS)technology has arrived in Brazil to inspect the joint venture propertiesand coordinate the design for the state-of-the-art Dense Media Separation(DMS) Plant. The DMS plant being custom built for Sao Luis Mining will have a feedcapacity over 100 tons of virgin gravels per hour. Based on the historicalgrade of its concession diamond production could increase up to 1000carats a day working 20 hours a day. Simmonds will be inspecting the various types of diamond depositscontained on the concessions and the existing equipment on site in Brazilto coordinate the construction of the pre-wash stages to ensure the optimumrecovery of diamonds from the DMS Plant.
