"Colour" in the name "colour-glass condensate" refers to a type of charge that quarks and gluons carry as a result of the strong nuclear force. The word "glass" is borrowed from the term for silica and other materials that are disordered and act like solids on short time scales but liquids on long time scales. In the "gluon walls, "the gluons themselves are disordered and do not change their positions rapidly because of time dilation. "Condensate" means that the gluons have a very high density. 2, record 4, English, - colour%2Dglass%20condensate

By combining lead-iron phosphate glass with various types of simulated high-level nuclear waste, a highly corrosion resistant, homogeneous, easily processed glass can be formed. For corroding solutions at 90°C, with solution pH values in the range between 5 and 9, the corrosion rate of the lead-iron phosphate nuclear waste glass is at least 102 to 103 times lower than the corrosion rate of a comparable borosilicate nuclear waste glass. 2, record 8, English, - lead%2Diron%20phosphate%20glass

Depuis son entrée en fonction, des problèmes d'entraînement de sédiments ont affecté les prises d'eau de refroidissement de façon continue. Pour remédier à la situation, Hydro Ontario a construit, en 1990, un système de captage de sédiments sur le lit du canal. Ce système, fait de béton, a la forme d'un entonnoir et un diamètre d'environ 20 m. Les sédiments capturés par ce système sont transportés via un pipeline de fibre de verre d'environ 2 m de diamètre vers le canal de décharge. 1, record 14, French, - canal%20de%20d%C3%A9charge

There have been constant problems with entrainment of sediment into the cooling water intake since the nuclear plant was commissioned. To solve the problem, Ontario Hydro built a sediment collecting system in the headrace canal in 1990. Built of concrete, the system is shaped like a funnel about 20 m in diameter. Sediment collected by the system is transported by a fibre glass pipeline about 2 m in diameter to the discharge channel. 1, record 15, English, - sediment%20collecting%20system
