Re Fuse: Place, material, nature by Hoffman, Warren

“…Thus, the primary focus being that of waste management, with the reuse of an existing abandoned industrial warehouse, refurbished through the utilization of existing and implementation of new spatial interventions to form a material recovery and transformation centre that's sole focus is to limit landfill use by seeing waste as a raw material via the creation of new products, increasing a materials lifespan through reuse, upcycling or downcycling, with the intention to keep the materials within our production systems, limiting the use of new mined resources.…”

Long-term reactivity transient analysis in an extended loss of all AC power at the Koeberg nuclear plant by Foster, Neil

“…The immediate concern in an ELAP is to ensure sufficient removal of heat from the primary system. This is achieved by providing adequate secondary side feed-water and steam-evacuation capability from the steam generators, and maintaining an adequate volume of borated water in the primary system, to prevent overheating of the reactor core. …”

Modeling and optimization of remanufacturing operations of spent products for sustainability by Heikal, Eman

“…However, there is no decision making system the manufacturers could use for cost / benefit assessment of disassembling and recovering these products that considers the following points: (1) evaluating the value of recovering the whole product versus value associated with recovering its disassembled items , (2) using Multi-Objective Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) to assign spent products and their items to various recovery alternatives considering their received physical conditions, (3) selection of operations for items is not limited by a fixed regular production-hour capacity for each operation, (4) model assumptions, constraints, and formulation that satisfy the three aspects of sustainability, which are economic, social responsibility, and environmental aspects in one step model , (5) considering other vital dimensions which are the quality of recovered products and the minimum batch size for vending recycled materials, (6) utilizing the recycling operation in the optimum way that increases revenue from vending isolated materials. …”
