	Exposé des Motifs - Revised text of the Exposé des Motifs of the Paris Convention on Nuclear third party liability
		Nuclear installations are defined as reactors ( 3) other than those comprised in any means of transport (see paragraph 11), factories for the manufacture or processing of nuclear substances, factories for the separation of isotopes of nuclear fuel, factories for the reprocessing of irradiated nuclear fuel, and facilities for the storage of nuclear substances.
		When nuclear incidents occur in the course of transport of nuclear substances, the choice of the person liable must fall either upon the carrier or upon the operator of the nuclear installation in connection with which the substances are carried.
		Furthermore, the nuclear operator must compensate damage to the means of transport upon which the nuclear substances involved were at the time of a nuclear incident occurring in the course of carriage and outside a nuclear installation.

	Nuclear Liability Act
		Injury or damage that, though not attributable to a breach of the duty imposed on an operator by this Act, is not reasonably separable from injury or damage that is attributable to a breach of that duty shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Act, to be attributable to that breach of duty.
		An operator is not liable for injury or damage of the kind described in section 3 if the nuclear incident resulting in the injury or damage occurred as a direct result of an act of armed conflict in the course of war, invasion or insurrection.
		An operator is not liable for injury or damage suffered by any person if the nuclear incident resulting in the injury or damage occurred wholly or partly as a result of an unlawful act or omission of that person done or omitted to be done with intent to cause injury or damage.

	Nuclear Energy is the most certain future source. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The energy required to build nuclear plants, operate them, and mine and process the uranium may be so large as to cause a net energy deficit.
		The basic fact about nuclear energy is that the input energy is 4.8 percent of output energy if gaseous diffusion is used to enrich uranium and 1.7 percent if the newer centrifuge technology is used.
		Radiation from operating nuclear reactors and other activities involved in nuclear energy is dangerous.

	Nuclear Reactor Operator Falls Asleep On Job
		There are many things to remember when operating a nuclear reactor, but one rule is paramount: Stay awake.
		Between 6:09 and 6:15 on the morning of June 29, however, the only operator in the control room of the MIT Nuclear Reactor Laboratory, in the heart of Cambridge, was snoozing.
		But while the operator slept that morning, his partner was locked out -- and tried to reach him by radio, by phone, by pager for 25 minutes, according to a letter filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

	Mobile phone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike computers that are restricted to only a few widespread operating systems, cellular phones use a variety of systems that require separate programs to be designed in order to disable each one.
		However, the rise of cellular phone operating system programming platforms shared by many manufacturers such as Java, Microsoft operating systems, Linux or Symbian OS, may in the future change this status quo.
		Bluetooth is a wireless communication feature now found in many higher-end phones, and the virus Cabir hijacked this function, sending Bluetooth phones on a search-and-destroy mission to infect other Bluetooth phones.

	Japan Nuclear Fuel To Be Operator Of MOX Processing Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		TOKYO -- Japan Nuclear Fuel Ltd., or JNFL, said Monday that it has accepted a request by major electric power companies to become builder and operator of Japan's first processing plant for plutonium-uranium mixed oxide or MOX fuel.
		Nine out of Japan's 10 power utilities earlier this month decided to go ahead with the plan to build a MOX fuel processing plant at a total cost of Y120 billion in Rokkasho village, Aomori prefecture, in the northern part of the main island.
		Ohta said it is inevitable for Japan to establish a nuclear fuel cycle domestically in order to secure uranium on a long-term basis as an economical and stable energy resource.

	Nuclear industry sees problems at Ohio plant / Operator ignored safety, report says
		All power reactor operators in this country are members of the institute, and on the intermittent occasions when its internal assessments become public, they have all been written in blunt terms.
		A year ago, even as the steel was being eaten away, the plant's operator, First Energy Nuclear Operating Co., was seeking permission to raise its power output by 12.9 percent above what it was licensed for when it opened in 1978.
		At the Union of Concerned Scientists, a watchdog group that is generally critical of the industry, David Lochbaum, a nuclear expert, said measuring attitudes toward safety was hard for people in the industry.

		The Nuclear Regulatory Commission proposed a record $5.45 million fine Thursday against the operator of a nuclear plant where leaking acid ate nearly all the way through a 6-inch-thick steel cap on the reactor vessel.
		The NRC said FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Co. restarted the Davis-Besse plant in 2000 without completing a cleaning and inspection of the reactor vessel head, then misled the agency about what it had done.
		The NRC also said it is banning one of the company's former engineers from working in the nuclear industry for five years.

	Quantum Theory: von Neumann vs. Dirac
		It is possible to use a ring of operators to model key features of physical systems in a purely abstract, algebraic setting; but, to fully exploit the power of this framework in doing physics it is necessary to choose a representation of the ring in a Hilbert space.
		One has to do with a property of the trace operation, which is the operation appearing in the definition of the probabilities for measurement results (the Born rule), and the other with domain problems that arise for unbounded observable operators.
		Field operators that are relevant for quantum field theory are too singular to be regarded as realistic, so they are smoothed out over their respective domains using elements of a space of well-behaved functions known as test functions.

	The Canadian Nuclear Industry: Regulation Forever
		Nuclear fuel follows a cycle because in the process of being "burnt" new fuel is created, which can itself then be used, and so on, in a cycle.
		The regulation of this global network of nuclear installations and transportation routes is of obvious concern given nuclear proliferation, transnational radio-pollution, and the potential for (or probability of) catastrophe.
		For nuclear power represents to them the ultimate symbol of economic power, military power, all the word that technocracy connotes, and it is in the hands of the established institutions -- the electric utilities, the large corporations, government agencies.
