The Strategic Teaming and Resource Sharing (STARS) alliance includes six pressurized water reactor (PWR) stations, all located west of the Mississippi River: Callaway, Comanche Peak, Diablo Canyon, Palo Verde, South Texas Project (STP), and Wolf Creek (Palo Verde joined in 2002). In 2000, a STARS radwaste team was formed to pursue cost reductions. The team was challenged to obtain a 10 percent ...

Beyond energy efficiency, there are now urgent challenges around the supply of resources, materials, energy, food and water. After debating energy efficiency for the last decade, the focus has shifted to include further resources and material efficiency. In this context, urban farming has emerged as a valid urban design strategy, where food is produced and consumed locally within city boundarie...

Waste minimization and recycling are principles of the concept of sustainable development that is now globally introduced. Construction in the sense of manufacturing goods and construction and exploitation of buildings generates a significant amount of waste. Therefore, the developing of the concept of waste management and the reverse logistics is implemented to the construction industry. A sta...

Abstract The development of technologies for processing residual solid mixed waste has only become a focus attention stimulated by the search more efficient energy sources. majority municipal (MSW) is biological origin (biogenic). Typically, half content in MSW from biogenic material. Consequently, this often considered renewable according to input, and as result, yields profit generated can be...

PT. XYZ is a company that produces pharmaceutical products for livestock. Most of the raw materials veterinary drugs consist B3 powder (toxic and hazardous materials). Waste from production process unavoidable, one types waste produced by wastes. According to Environmental Service (DLH) cannot be directly discharged into environment, therefore uses 3rd party services in processing disposal. pow...

Bio-based and biodegradable plastics promise considerable reductions in our dependency on fossil fuels the environmental impacts of plastic waste. This study quantifies economic consequences diverting municipal food waste wastewater sewage sludge from traditional management to biorefinery-based production polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) five geographical regions. The results show that PHA can outpe...

Although the construction industry is critical for sustainability goals due to high amount of waste it generates, its management performance still not at desired level. One main reasons this can be attributed lack enough knowledge companies on sources/reasons and waste. The major aim study was develop a knowledge-based tool capturing, storing, disseminating waste-related prefabricated steel pro...

Abstract Self-ignited fires at municipal solid waste (MSW) storage sites are relatively common. The minimization of the phenomenon self-heating in can reduce risks for smouldering combustion. purpose this work was to develop a method that be used measure and characterize heat production MSW. is based on isothermal conduction microcalorimetry (IMC). MSW determined sampling from two different geo...
