Uranium Recycle Project. Cameco is seeking approval for remilling two recyclable products from the Blind River refinery and Port Hope conversion facilities in Ontario, at its Key Lake operation in northern Saskatchewan. This approval would constitute a change to the mill feed component of the Key Lake operation. The purpose of remilling is to recover the uranium content of the uranium bearing products which are in a dry powdered form similar to the material that is fed into one stage of the milling process called the "leach circuit. "The recyclable products contain approximately 4% uranium and would be used to produce the licensed capacity of some 28 million pounds of U3O8. The majority of the uranium in these recyclable products is from Saskatchewan mines.

OBS

The assembly sequence of the trusses on the International Space Station does not usually correspond to the number assigned to each segment of the struss structure. Trusses are numbered as follows: P1, P3, P4, P5, P6 (port side) and S1, S3, S4, S5, S6 (starboard side). In this case, the P3/P4 truss segment is referred to as the second port truss segment.

CONT

The Service Module will include four docking ports, one in the aft Transfer Chamber and three in the spherical forward Transfer Compartment: one facing forward, one facing up and one facing down. The aft docking port has a probe and cone docking mechanism to allow dockings by Progress resupply spacecraft and Soyuz piloted spacecraft. It also will be outfitted with an automated rendezvous and docking system. The forward docking ports will all have hybrid docking mechanisms to allow docking with Zarya using the forward-facing port; with a Russian Science Power Platform to be delivered later in assembly using the down-facing port.

The P1 Truss, the first port truss segment, was attached to the port side of the S0 truss. ... The P1 Truss provides structural support for the Active Thermal Control System, Mobile Transporter and one Crew and Equipment Translation Aid cart. ... The P1 Truss also has mounts for cameras and lights, and antenna support equipment for both UHF [Ultra High Frequency] and S-band communications equipment. The S-band equipment is currently on the P6 Truss.

OBS

The assembly sequence of the trusses on the International Space Station does not usually correspond to the number assigned to each segment of the struss structure. Trusses are numbered as follows: P1, P3, P4, P5, P6 (port side) and S1, S3, S4, S5, S6 (starboard side). In this case however, the P1 truss is referred to as the first port truss segment.

[...] l'équipage de STS 113 installeront le troisième segment de l'immense poutrelle qui portera éventuellement les panneaux solaires (générant l'électricité) et les grands radiateurs (évacuateurs de chaleur). Il s'agit de la pièce dite P1, le première portion bâbord (gauche) de la poutrelle. Ce segment est identique au S1 (premier segment tribord, droit) installé en octobre. Au terme de cette opération d'assemblage, la poutrelle mesurera 40,5 mètres (elle fera, à terme, 108 mètres).

CONT

The US space shuttle delivers the third port truss segment, the P5 Truss, to attach to second port truss segment, the P3/P4 Truss.

CONT

This truss segment, called "S5," is a mirror image of the P5 truss segment that arrived for processing at Kennedy Space Center in July 2001. The S5 truss segment is a 10-1/2-by-15-foot aluminum structure that will weigh 3,900 pounds when fully processed ... Items to be attached to the S5 truss include handholds to be used by spacewalking astronauts, a strut assembly, multi-layer thermal blankets, and the installation of the PVRGF.

CONT

The P5 and S5 segments are merely spacers that will provide enough room for the solar arrays to track the sun and not interfere with the other equipment, for example, the waste-heat radiators and antennas. The waste-heat radiators attached to segments S1 and P1 also must be clear of array movement.

OBS

The assembly sequence of the trusses on the International Space Station does not usually correspond to the number assigned to each segment of the struss structure. Trusses are numbered as follows: P1, P3, P4, P5, P6 (port side) and S1, S3, S4, S5, S6 (starboard side). In this case, the P5 truss is referred to as the third port truss segment.
