The most recent vertical wind turbine is based on a machine patented in 1931 by the French engineer G. J. M. Darrieus. Its two blades consist of twisted metal strips tied to the shaft at the top and bottom and bowed out in the middle similar to the blades of a food mixer. A Darrieus turbine with aluminum blades erected in 1980 by the Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico produced 60 kilowatts in a wind blowing 12. 5 metres per second. 8, record 3, English, - Darrieus%20rotor

Used nuclear fuel bundles would be contained in vaults 500 to 1,000 metres below ground.

Sampling pipes or tubes are placed against the trench wall, with their lower ends in the French drain, when the trench is dug.

Sampling pipes or tubes are placed against the trench wall, with their lower ends in the French drain, when the trench is dug. Monitoring of each disposal unit(engineered trench) is accomplished by sampling any water found in the French drain through these tubes and analyzing its contents. Sampling wells are placed around the perimeter of the facility, and elsewhere if desired, and air sampling is conducted at least until the end of the operations. 1, record 10, English, - shallow%20land%20burial%20trench

Figure 6. 1 illustrates a typical open disposal trench at the Barnwell facility. The trench floor is sloped slightly and covered with a layer of sand to facilitate collection of percolating water in a french drain. A number of pipes allow any water that may collect in the french drain to be removed and analyzed. Presently waste, primarily in boxes, drums and cask liners, is stacked neatly in the trench, starting at the high end and progressing toward the low end. High specific activity waste is usually placed at the bottom of the trench. A separate narrower shielded trench is used at Barnwell for waste that has very high dose rates at the package surface. As the level of the waste reaches the design level, 2 m below grade, a layer of dry soil is added and allowed to filter down between the waste containers. When a trench is filled, it is covered with a cap of at least 0. 6 m of compacted native clay, followed by at least 0. 9 m of soil. 2, record 11, English, - open%20storage%20trench

Dans la Fonction publique du Canada, l'équivalent de "English on the other side" qu'on retrouve sur la première page du recto français est plutôt "Français tête-bêche" qui, lui, figure sur la première page du recto anglais. Il faut éviter "Français au verso" car l'impression en tête-bêche vise justement à mettre le français et l'anglais sur un pied d'égalité au moyen de deux rectos, un pour chaque langue (le verso étant l'envers de l'endroit ou recto). 2, record 13, French, - anglais%20t%C3%AAte%2Db%C3%AAche
