Nuclear Energy Taps Seas for Safe Water
Responding to global water supply concerns, the Board of Directors of the American Nuclear Society (ANS) approved Position Statement No. 62, "The Use of Nuclear Energy for Desalination." "All of the technologies used to desalinate seawater require large amounts of energy in the form of heat or electricity," explained ANS member Ron Faibish, whose work is cited in the position statement. "Nuclear power can provide that energy without the environmental impacts, such as carbon emissions, that are associated with fossil fuels."International agencies anticipate that by 2025, more than 33% of the world population will live in regions without adequate supplies of water unless new desalinization plants become operational.
Today, more than 3 billion cases of illness and 2 million deaths each year result from diseases attributable to lack of potable water.The approval comes in time for the annual observance of World Water Day on March 22nd.
The international observance grew out of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro.Position statements represent the Society's opinions on issues of interest to the general public and policy makers.
All positions can be viewed at www.ans.org/pi/ps.
The Society develops positions based on related technical papers and input from the professional membership.
The Board approved Position Statement No. 62 on March 15, 2005. The American Nuclear Society, established in 1954, is a professional organization of scientists and engineers devoted to the applications of nuclear science and technology.
Its 10,500 members come from diverse technical disciplines ranging from physics and nuclear safety to operations and power, and from across the full spectrum of the national and international nuclear enterprise, including government, academia, research laboratories and private industry..
Networking Crossover
As I try to explain and describe the power of cooperation in workgroups, I often get lost. Networking Cross-Over is far more easy to visualize as it has innovative and intuitive parts to turn efforts to success!As references to aproach this area I bring the work of Carl Rogers and Harald Swedner. They made a giant effort scaling down their discoveries to its essenscial and cognitive structures, "decoded" to let us access the cumulative effects and synergies in networking with the experience being present in an designed dynamic and close encounter of a motivated group.The interactive and reflective components in these designed meetings, force real needs to co-function instead of hidden motives and false expectations that will limit the perception. Dealing with missions more or less with "brains off" (to let EQ join common sense) may boost the process to spin-off. That is a good reason for developing network strategies.This level is required to recognize and identify the best mix of options...
