Syringe exchange programs --- United States, 2008.
Persons who inject drugs should use a new, sterile needle and syringe for each injection. Syringe exchange programs (SEPs) provide free sterile syringes and collect used syringes from injection-drug users (IDUs) to reduce transmission of bloodborne pathogens, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus, and hepatitis C virus (HCV). As of March 2009, a total of 184 SEPs were known to be operating in 36 states, the District of Columbia (DC), and Puerto Rico (North American Syringe Exchange Network [NASEN], unpublished data, 2009). Of these, 123 (67%) SEP directors participated in a mail/telephone survey conducted by NASEN and Beth Israel Medical Center (New York, New York) that covered program operations for the calendar year 2008. To characterize SEPs in the United States, this report summarizes the findings from that survey and compares them with previous SEP survey results from the period 1994-2007. In 2008, the 123 SEPs reported exchanging 29.1 million syringes and had budgets totaling $21.3 million, of which 79% came from state and local governments. Most of the SEPs reported offering preventive health and clinical services in addition to basic syringe exchange: 87% offered HIV counseling and testing, 65% offered hepatitis C counseling and testing, 55% offered sexually transmitted disease screening, and 31% offered tuberculosis screening; 89% provided referrals to substance abuse treatment. Providing comprehensive prevention services and referrals to IDUs, such as those offered by many SEPs, can help reduce the spread of bloodborne infections and should increase access to health care and substance abuse treatment, thus serving as an effective public health approach for this population.

Brayton heat exchange unit development program
Morse, C. J.; Richard, C. E.; Duncan, J. D.
A Brayton Heat Exchanger Unit (BHXU), consisting of a recuperator, a heat sink heat exchanger and a gas ducting system, was designed, fabricated, and tested. The design was formulated to provide a high performance unit suitable for use in a long-life Brayton-cycle powerplant. A parametric analysis and design study was performed to establish the optimum component configurations to achieve low weight and size and high reliability, while meeting the requirements of high effectiveness and low pressure drop. Layout studies and detailed mechanical and structural design were performed to obtain a flight-type packaging arrangement. Evaluation testing was conducted from which it is estimated that near-design performance can be expected with the use of He-Xe as the working fluid.

A land exchange program to protect biodiversity
Cutler, M.R. )
Wilderness area boundries have often been set by absence of commercial reserves such as timber, ores, oil, and gas. However, to help further the goal of conserving biological diversity, wilderness areas should be explicity managed to maintain thier species richness over time. The author presents a land exchange approach in which each addition to the public domain for wilderness and biodiversity-conservation purposes could be matched by the simultaneous deletion of land of comparable market value with species already well protected. Discussed are how the four US federal land management agencies can implement the proposal, the benefits of protecting the ecological health of the National Wilderness Preservation System, the lack of guidance from leaders, the pressures facing the wilderness, and how partnerships can be built to protect biodiversity and primative recreational opportunities while reinvigorating the wilderness-conservation movement.

Reactor materials program: LBB assessment - heat exchangers
A credible Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LOCA) for the Savannah River Production Reactors is being defined through studies of the failure mechanisms in the components of the process water (PW) system. A component that can exhibit leakage or cracking that is readily detected prior to a large-break failure demonstrates a Leak-Before-Break (LBB) capability and would allow safe reactor shutdown well in advance of a large break. A related sequence which encompasses LBB is the Detect-Before-Break (DBB) assessment which considers inspection of the component and crack detection by leakage or visual methods to ensure integrity of the pressure boundary of the component. The LBB capability of the PW system is performed by assessing the pressure boundary integrity and determining the ability to exhibit leakage prior to an unacceptably large break for each component of the system. It has been demonstrated that pipe weldments will not fail causing a sudden double-ended-guillotine break (DEGB) in the PW system. The LBB and DBB ability of the flanges, valves and pumps has also been demonstrated. The subject of this report is the demonstration of the LBB/DBB capability of the heat exchangers in the SRP process water system. 10 figs.
As they say, membership has its privileges. Starbucks Gold members get coffee discounts. Costco members get to spend at least $100 per trip no matter what they went for. And loyalists of certain local businesses get first dibs on boat race tickets that actually involve shade. Here’s a new one for you. Members of the EB-5 Visa Program get legal residency--and eventually citizenship--in the U.S. When I first heard about it, I poignantly thought to myself, "Say what?" But I am now enlightened, and admittedly a tad enthusiastic, thanks to a couple of presenters at a recent Tri-Cities Research District Speaker Series event.

The Rocky Flats Plutonium (Pu) Metal Sample Exchange program was conducted to insure the quality and intercomparability of measurements such as Pu assay, Pu isotopics, and impurity analyses. The Rocky Flats program was discontinued in 1989 after more than 30 years. In 2001, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) reestablished the Pu Metal Exchange program. In addition to the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) at Aldermaston, six Department of Energy (DOE) facilities Argonne East, Argonne West, Livermore, Los Alamos, New Brunswick Laboratory, and Savannah River are currently participating in the program. Plutonium metal samples are prepared and distributed to the sites for destructive measurements to determine elemental concentration, isotopic abundance, and both metallic and nonmetallic impurity levels. The program provides independent verification of analytical measurement capabilies for each participating facility and allows problems in analytical methods to be identified. The current status of the program will be discussed with emphasis on the unique statistical analysis and modeling of the data developed for the program. The discussion includes the definition of the consensus values for each analyte (in the presence and absence of anomalous values and/or censored values), and interesting features of the data and the results.
Marine Language Exchange Program: A 21st Century International and Interdisciplinary Partnership
Robigou, V.; Nichols-Pecceu, M.
The ability of scientists to communicate across cultural and linguistic barriers is crucial for the global economic sustainability and protection of the world\\'{}s oceans. Yet students with majors in the sciences and engineering constitute less than 2% of those who study abroad each year. And even rarer are students who study in countries where English is not the first language. The Marine Language Exchange program is a case study of an international and interdisciplinary collaboration between faculties in the languages and the sciences who address this gap. A consortium of U.S. and European institutions including Eckerd College (Florida), University of Washington (Washington), University of Hilo (Hawaii), Université de la Rochelle (France), Université de Liège (Belgium), and Universidad de Las Palmas (Spain) is developing a multilingual, marine sciences exchange program in an effort to internationalize their Marine Sciences departments. The program includes a three-week, intensive "bridge" course designed to reinforce second language skills in the context of marine sciences, and prepare undergraduate students for the cultural and educational differences of their host country. Following this immersion experience students from each institution enroll in courses abroad including marine sciences specialization for full academic credit. This session will review the Marine Language Exchange program activities since 2000 and will discuss the ideological and practical aspects of the program. The program successes, difficulties and future directions will also be presented. Different disciplinary approaches -Second Language Acquisition, English as a Second Language and Marine Science- prepare science students to contribute to the study and the management of the world\\'{}s oceans with an awareness of the cultural issues reflected by national marine policies. Based on this case study, other universities could initiate their own international and interdisciplinary

Measurements for the Jasper Program intermediate heat exchanger experiment
Muchkenthaler, F.J.; Spencer, R.R.; Hunter, H.T.; Hull, J.L.; Shono, A.
The Intermediate Heat Exchanger (IHX) experiment was conducted at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Tower shielding Facility (TSF) during the last three months of 1991 and the first two months of 1992 as part of a continuing series of eight experiments planned for the Japanese-American shielding Program for Experimental Research (JASPER) program that was started in 1986. This is the fifth experiment in that series, all of which are intended to provide support in the development of current reactor shield designs proposed for liquid metal reactor (LMR) systems both in Japan and the United States. The program is a cooperative effort between the United States Department of Energy (US DOE) and the japanese Power Reactor and Nuclear Development Corporation (PNC). The experimental configurations consisted of a neutron spectrum modifier followed by various shield mockups. For the PNC portion of the program the modifier was a large volume of sodium typical of the area in which their IHX vessel would be located radially from the reactor core. configurations studied in the US part of the program were preceded by the same modifier of iron, aluminum, boral, and sodium used with the Advanced Liquid Metal Reactor (ALMR) mockups in the previous In- Vessel Fuel Storage (IVFS) experiment. This modifier was followed by mockups representative of three different off-axial locations that were being considered for placement of the IHX vessel. The PNC plan was concerned with the effort of surrounding a mockup of the sodium containing IHX vessel by a partial or full component boron carbide (B{sub 4}C) shield.
