Decontaminates radioactive materials and equipment, using chemical solutions, and sandblasting machine : Reads contamination level, using radiation meter, and sorts contaminated items by size and radiation level, following specifications.... Places smaller objects in sandblasting machine, using manipulators or protective gloves, and starts machine to remove greater proportion of contamination and reduce immersion time. Places hot(radioactive) waste, such as sweepings and broken sample bottles, into disposal containers to be processed for land or sea burial. Cleans objects having radiation count under specified amount, using cloth, soap, solvents, wire brush, and buffing wheel.

Record 3 2007-04-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meats and Meat Industries
  • Food Preservation and Canning
CONT

In immersion curing, the submerged meat or poultry absorbs the cover pickle solution, slowly, over a long period of time. There are two recognized methods for calculating the allowable ingoing amount of nitrite in immersion cured products. The method used depends on the mechanism of movement of nitrite within the meat and/or poultry/pickle system and into the meat, meat byproduct, or poultry tissue itself.

CONT

The lowest rate of curing occurs when the curing agents are applied externally in the form of a dry rub or in liquid form as a cover pickle.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Salaison, boucherie et charcuterie
  • Conservation des aliments et conserverie
CONT

Saumurage des jambonneaux. Préparer la saumure (ajouter l'acide ascorbique lorsque le sel nitrité est entièrement dissout dans l'eau). Laver et raser les jambonneaux. Les saumurer, par injection intramusculaire à 10 %. Puis, les stocker dans une saumure d'immersion pendant 48 heures, en chambre froide à 4 °C.

Record 4 2004-08-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sports and Casual Wear
  • Sports Equipment and Accessories
  • Underwater Diving (Sports)
  • Pleasure Boating and Yachting
DEF

A close-fitting suit made of material (as sponge rubber) that water will go through but that retains body heat and worn (as by a water skier or skin diver) especially in cold water.

CONT

These coverall PFD suits use a wet suit principle and the survival time of a person wearing such a suit is not as high as that afforded by dry suits, i. e. immersion suits.

CONT

Wet suits are used when diving in water temperatures over 20 degrees C (70 degrees F). A modern wetsuit is mostly made from thin neoprene, which provides limited thermal protection, and lined with a nylon fabric to make it easy to put on and take off. A wetsuit allows a small amount of water into the suit, but traps this thin layer of water between the skin and the neoprene, which body heat then warms up. The neoprene itself insulates the warm layer against the cold of the surrounding water.

OBS

wet suit: term also used in sailing.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Vêtements de sport et de loisirs
  • Équipement et accessoires de sport
  • Plongée sous-marine (Sports)
  • Yachting et navigation de plaisance
CONT

Le principe de ce dernier [vêtement] était d'admettre une petite quantité d'eau qui se réchauffait au contact du corps, gardant en principe le plongeur dans une sorte de bain-marie. Le vêtement destiné au plongeur amateur est devenu du fait de son adhérence pratiquement «non étanche» et c'est ainsi que le vocabulaire américain a relégué aux oubliettes le terme «wet suit» ou «vêtement non étanche».

CONT

Si la plongée est en eau chaude et/ou de courte durée, le plongeur utilisera une combinaison dite «humide». Composée de néoprène variant de 1 mm à 7 mm, ces combinaisons sont peu chères, et pour peu qu'elles soient bien ajustées, isolent suffisamment le plongeur qui n'a pas à lutter contre le froid ou dont la décompression n'est pas trop longue.

CONT

La combinaison mouillée ou «wet suit» est faite d'un caoutchouc mousse poreux. Une petite quantité d'eau peut y pénétrer, mais comme le vêtement est en contact avec la peau, l'air emprisonné dans les pores du caoutchouc conserve la chaleur du corps.

OBS

combinaison : terme employé aussi à la voile.

OBS

Les termes «vêtement isothermique», «combinaison isothermique», «combinaison de plongée» et «combinaison» s'emploient souvent comme traductions de «wetsuit», mais ont un sens plus large, comprenant aussi la combinaison sèche.

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
CONT

The parts washer can be operated either manually or automatically. The manual mode is a stagnant immersion process. In this case, the parts are lowered into the solvent and allowed to soak with no agitation. This soaking process allows the Lactate Esters to have a residence time with the coatings.
