The hazards of nuclear power generation—The case for survival
Abstract A plan is presented to replace all nuclear electricity-generating plants by the induction heating of lignite and sub-bituminous coal in situ . The hazards of nuclear power are intolerable and these hazards are intensified in areas of seismic activity, drainage areas containing a number of reactors, and reactors draining onto a densely-populated coast. The technique of induction heating is scientifically sound, and requires only the development of full-scale process technology from state-of-the-art science. This process is low in cost, produces large quantities of natural gas and coal tar as additional products, and causes little or no human hazard, air, water, or radiation pollution or environmental damage. Known coal resources are adequate for a century or more.
Nuclear power: A progress report: Cleaning up TMI: On the second anniversary of the accident at Three Mile Island's nuclear reactor, decontamination is progressing slowly
Reports on the second anniversary of the accident at Three Mile Island's nuclear reactor where decontamination is progressing slowly.
First diamino Daphniphyllum alkaloid, daphnipaxinin, with an unprecedented heterohexacyclic skeleton from Daphniphyllum paxianum.
[structure: see text] The first diamino Daphniphyllum alkaloid, daphnipaxinin (1), with an unprecedented hexacyclic fused skeleton, along with a known alkaloid, daphnicyclidin A (2), was isolated from the stem of Daphniphyllum paxianum Rosenth. The structure and absolute stereochemistry of 1 were established by spectral methods, especially two-dimensional NMR techniques and CD analysis.
