### carcinogens:

Nuclear plant
* All nuclear plants have instruments to warn of and measure earthquake motion.
* Most nuclear plants use energy
  - nuclear energy
  - the element uranium as the fuel in their reactors
* Some nuclear plants store their used fuel in dry storage tanks above ground.
* Some nuclear plants use fission fusion
  - nuclear fission
* account for about one-fourth of the country's generating capacity.
  - far more expensive to build, maintain, operate, and dispose of
  - traditionally large scale
* create a fraction of the waste of conventional power plants
  - tons of deadly radioactive waste, a danger for thousands of years to come
* emit no particulates
  - none of the greenhouse gases produced by fossil-fueled plants
* function much as other thermal power plants.
* have between one and three reactors or units located at the same site.
* operate at lower temperatures and pressures and obviously require fewer refuelings
  - on the assumption that the reactor vessels never fail
* pose a risk of catastrophic disaster.
* process huge amounts of water through many complex piping and tunnel systems.
* produce electricity in much the same way that fossil-fueled plants do.
* provide almost a third of German electricity.
* require very heavy and complex foundations and shielding.
* supply electricity to millions of customers across southern and eastern China.
  - the fission process to generate the energy needed to produce electricity

### cardiotonic:

Aqueous extract
* is cardiotonic.
* prevent the release of arachidonic acid and inhibit aggregation of platelets.

### cardiovascular complications:

Embolus
* are cardiovascular complications
  - clots
  - part of embolism
  - vascular diseases
* usually originates from a thrombus in the heart.

### cardiovascular complications | embolus:

Pulmonary embolus
* blockage of an artery in the lungs by fat, air, tumor tissue, or blood clot.
* lung obsturction.

### cardiovascular complications:

Vascular disease
- currently the most common cause of death and disability in European countries
  - illnesses
  - the most common cutaneous manifestations of reflex sympathetic dystrophy
* begins when lesions occur in the inner walls of veins and arteries.
* increases the potential for heart disease and stroke.
* interferes with erection by restricting blood flow to the penis.
* is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States
  - most important public health issues in the United States
* is the greatest killer in industrialized societies
  - one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in the United States
* represent one of the major cause of morbidity and mortality in western countries.
* slow process that can gradually progress over a lifetime.

### cards:

Cribbage
* are card games.
* clone of the popular, classic card game.

Index card
* are cards.
* are located in libraries
  - offices
  - oral reports
  - made of paper

Rum
* Most rums are unaged, colorless and bottled immediately after distilling.
* flows freely.
* gains a slight yellow to brown color as it ages in oak barrels.
* helps hide the taste of bitter herbs.
* is made by crushing sugar cane between heavy rollers.
* is made from fermented molasses or sugar cane juice
  - sugar cane using yeast fermentation
* liquor made from sugar cane juice, fermented and distilled.
