  2. Thermite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermite

    Thermite contains its own supply of oxygen and does not require any external source of air. Consequently, it cannot be smothered, and may ignite in any environment given sufficient initial heat. It burns well while wet, and cannot be easily extinguished with water—though enough water to remove sufficient heat may stop the reaction. [22]

  3. Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant - Wikipedia

    West tunnel to Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant, March 2020. Oceanside is a secondary treatment plant handling about 20% of the city's wastewater from one-third of the city's residents. Its maximum capacity is 65 million US gallons (250,000 m 3) per day, with an average daily dry weather flow of 17 million US gallons (64,000 m 3).

  4. Spent fuel pool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spent_fuel_pool

    The water cools the fuel and provides radiological protection from its radiation. Pools also exist on sites remote from reactors, for longer-term storage such as the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI), located at the Morris Operation, or as a production buffer for 10 to 20 years before being sent for reprocessing or dry cask ...

  5. Claude "Bud" Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant - Wikipedia

    The outflow of the plant is put into the discharge from Encina Power Station for dilution, for a final salt concentration about 20% higher than seawater. Most desalination plants discharge water with about 50% extra salt, which can lead to dead spots in the ocean, because the super-salinated brine does not mix well with seawater. [16]

  6. Ocean disposal of radioactive waste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_disposal_of...

    Beyond technical and political considerations, the London Convention places prohibitions on disposing of radioactive materials at sea and does not make a distinction between waste dumped directly into the water and waste that is buried underneath the ocean's floor. It remained in force until 2018, after which the sub-seabed disposal option can ...

    The plant, designed to supply Baku and the Absheron Peninsula with drinking water, was put into operation on 28 October 2015. The capacity of the ultrafiltration (UF) plant is 6.6 cubic meters of water per second (570,000 cubic meters per day). [1] [2] The plant complex was chosen as one of the most important water projects in the world at the ...

  8. Pyrotechnic composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrotechnic_composition

    Accroides resin , higher burning rate than shellac, burns well even with potassium perchlorate. Suitable for chrysanthemum stars. When metallic fuels are used, the metal particle size is important. A larger surface area to volume ratio leads to a faster reaction; this means that smaller particle sizes produce a faster-burning composition.

  9. Marine outfall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_outfall

    Ocean outfall pipes in Cape May, New Jersey, United States - pipes exposed after the sand was removed by severe storm. A marine outfall (or ocean outfall) is a pipeline or tunnel that discharges municipal or industrial wastewater, stormwater, combined sewer overflows (CSOs), cooling water, or brine effluents from water desalination plants to the sea.
