HSwMS Sirius (T122). HSwMS Sirius (T122) was a Swedish Navy Spica-class, torpedo-armed, fast attack craft (FAC).

Design 
The hull was made of steel, unlike some other contemporary designs which used plywood. Although the boat had a relatively small hull and displacement, this provided a stable platform. The Bridge and Operations Room were located at the rolling and stamping centre of the ship which further improved stability for the crew especially in high seas. The boats were fitted with an NBC support system where the hull could be closed down in the event of having to operate in a nuclear fall-out area.

Construction and career 
The vessel was one of three constructed in the 1960s by Götaverken AB on Hisingen, the other two being HSwMS Spica (T121) and HSwMS Capella (T123). Three similar vessels were built by Karlskronavarvet. She was launched on 26 April 1966.

The vessel was taken out of service in 30 June 1985.

Accelerated hydrogen peroxide. Accelerated hydrogen peroxide (AHP) is a trademark for solution of hydrogen peroxide whose antibacterial efficacy is enhanced by a surfactant and an organic acid. It is also a disinfectant/cleaning agent that stabilizes hydrogen peroxide so that it can be used for extended periods of time.

Properties 
A 2% solution of accelerated hydrogen peroxide achieves a high level of disinfection in 5 minutes and is suitable for disinfecting hard plastic medical devices such as endoscopes. In addition to being an excellent fungicide, chemicals using accelerated hydrogen peroxide have been suggested by some papers to be safer for humans and more environmentally friendly.

In research done in 2016, accelerated hydrogen peroxide demonstrated effectiveness against the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), swine vesicular disease virus (SVDV), along with Senecavirus A.

Effectiveness against ringworm and parvovirus has also been cited by veterinarians.

Usage 
Recommendation by the World Health Organization

The WHO has announced that AHP is particularly effective in disinfecting hospital facilities, and cites accelerated hydrogen peroxide as one of the disinfectants that are used for adequate sterilization.

Japan

In May 2020, accelerated hydrogen peroxide was utilized for disinfection when there was a rapid spread of COVID-19 on board the cruise vessel Costa Atlantica while anchored by the Mitsubishi Nagasaki Shipyard, according to Japanese media. The product used for sterilization on the Costa Atlantica was OXILITE PRO, the first Japanese-made accelerated hydrogen peroxide disinfectant.

Canada

During the SARS pandemic in 2003, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care of Ontario published a training bulletin citing accelerated hydrogen peroxide solutions as effective agents against emergency vehicles and equipment used in transporting SARS infected patients.

As of October 2020, Health Canada includes accelerate hydrogen peroxide disinfectants as effective solutions against SARS-CoV-2, the novel Coronavirus.

United States

Between the years 2006 and 2011, amid risks of powerful bacteria such as Clostridioides difficile and MRSA infecting patients by adhering onto hospital facilities, Hunterdon Medical Center, which used accelerated hydrogen peroxide based disinfectants for sanitation, cut C. diff and MRSA infection rates by 79% and 66% respectively.

United Kingdom

In a 2007 guidance report by the Norovirus Working Group in the Health Protection Agency, together with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, accelerated hydrogen peroxide has been reported to show effectiveness against feline calicivirus, a surrogate for norovirus.

Bundesgesellschaft für Endlagerung. The Bundesgesellschaft für Endlagerung mbH (BGE; Federal Company for Radioactive Waste Disposal) is a German federally owned company based in Peine, Lower Saxony, Germany.

The BGE is tasked with high-level radioactive waste management, which includes looking for a site for a repository for high-level radioactive waste that will guarantee the best possible safety for one million years, as well as operating the Konrad and Morsleben final repositories as well as the Asse II and Gorleben mines.

It was established in July 2016, after a law on the reorganisation of the administrative structure in the area of final disposal for nuclear waste had passed. It is organised under private law as a GmbH, a limited liability company, with the sole shareholder being the German Federal Government.

Previously-existing entities Asse-GmbH, the Deutsche Gesellschaft zum Bau und Betrieb von Endlagern für Abfallstoffe as well as parts of the Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz were merged into the BGE on 20 December 2017.

The organisational structure and tasks of the BGE result from the German Atomic Energy Act (paragraph 9a, sub-paragraph 3, sentences 2 ff. AtG) and the German Repository Site Selection Act (StandAG). Accordingly, it is the responsibility of the federal government to construct and operate repositories for radioactive waste. In order to fulfil this tasks the federal government shall establish a private corporation whose sole shareholder is the German Federal Government.

The federal government continues to exercise supervision through the Bundesamt für die Sicherheit der nuklearen Entsorgung, an independent federal agency operating under the Federal Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety. The members of BGE's supervisory board were appointed in July 2017.

BGE has been the operator of the Asse II mine, the Konrad mine, and the Morsleben radioactive waste repository since April 2017. The company also has offices in Berlin and Gorleben.

In September 2020, the BGE published the interim report on sub-areas, in which an interim status of the scientific investigations into the potential repositories was presented. The public was informed about this in the magazine Insights 12/2021.

In its "Einblicke" magazine, the BGE provides information on the site search, Asse, Konrad and Morsleben repository projects. The magazine is distributed regionally or nationally as a press supplement and can be obtained by subscription.

Quick Reference Handbook. A Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) is an aircraft technical document – quick-access manual for aircraft pilots that contains all the procedures applicable for non-normal and emergency conditions in an easy-to-use format.  In addition, performance data corrections are also provided for specific conditions. A QRH is kept in the cockpit and can be consulted whenever the flight crew experiences in-flight problems.

Format 
The first QRHs in the 20th century were made out of paper, but in the 21st century, many pilots have switched to so-called electronic flight bags, which have the advantage of electronic search functions, but require electricity to work. Some modern aircraft such as the Airbus A330 have computerised some of the checklists, but other checklists cannot be properly programmed, because some problems cannot be correctly identified or diagnosed by aircraft computers; thus, the Quick Reference Handbook remains an essential in-flight tool for the crew.

Contents 
QRH includes various checklists for dealing with abnormal and emergency situations, based on the equipment and furnishings on the airplane. The aircraft manufacturer-designated checklists are always included in a QRH, and often the airline company or operator will include its own procedures. Therefore, there is no single universal QRH and they may differ widely in contents, but in practice, individual versions of it are referred to as the Quick Reference Handbook. When designed and used correctly to address issues such as turbine engine failures or on-board fires, a QRH can prevent aviation accidents and incidents.

QRH have to include time-critical information and frequently used information for the flight crew.

One example of a checklist in a QRH is the Engine Failure/Fire – Severe Damage or Separation checklist. Another example is the Cabin Altitude Warning or Rapid Depressurization checklist.
