Other ignition sources may be mentioned.

(vi) potential ignition sources (including electrical equipment).

This survey has identified large numbers of very hot stars such as white dwarfs and active corona stars.

Some of these companies include Nacional de Chocolates (food), Organización Corona (ceramics) and Federación Nacional de Cafeteros (coffee) (UNCTAD forthcoming).

The measurements made by SPARTAN 201 will be used in conjunction with those from the Ulysses spacecraft, which was launched in October 1990 and which detected the solar wind from the south polar corona as SPARTAN observed the source region of that wind as well as other portions of the Sun apos s corona.

A hundred years ago, it's certainly true that to drive a car you kind of needed to know a lot about the mechanics of the car and how the ignition timing worked and all sorts of things.

Other designs are emerging to join the race for fusion power. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory s National Ignition Facility in California is getting impressive results by firing high powered lasers at capsules of fuel, crushing the particles together to trigger fusion reactions.

Scientists are eager to learn more about the Sun apos s polar magnetic fields, which reverse polarity every 11 years in conjunction with the solar cycle they play an important role in the Sun apos s corona and solar wind.

SPARTAN 201 2, a small satellite deployed and then retrieved several days later by the Space Shuttle Discovery in September 1994, examined the Sun apos s hot outer atmosphere, or extended corona, and the solar wind, the flow of charged ions from the Sun.

Together, the two instruments can determine the velocity of the solar wind as it accelerates out of the Sun so that scientists can grasp exactly how and when the Sun creates this wind as well as what the shape and spectroscopy of the solar corona may be.

At the Mayak Industrial Reprocessing Complex in Russia s southern Urals, a storage tank holding nitrate acetate salts exploded in 1957, releasing a massive amount of radioactive material over 20,000 square kilometers, forcing the evacuation of 272,000 people. In September 1994, an explosion at Indonesia s Serpong research reactor was triggered by the ignition of methane gas that had seeped from a storage room and exploded when a worker lit a cigarette.
