Principal Overall Conclusions. Fusion power stations have extremely low levels of fuel inventory in the burning chamber, their power production stops with no fuelling and they have very low levels of after burn power density. They will make no use of any fissile material, and will not emit any of the greenhouse gases. With appropriate design, these favourable inherent features can be exploited to provide substantial safety and environmental advantages. Studies performed within the European Fusion Programme have shown that it would be possible to design commercial fusion power stations with the following features. • The maximum radiological doses to the public arising from the most severe conceivable accident driven by in-plant energies would be well below the level at which evacuation would be considered and would be comparable to typical annual doses from natural causes. • After a few decades, the total radiotoxic potential of the activated material arising from the operation and decommissioning of the plant will have decreased to a low value. • Most, perhaps all, of this material, after remaining in situ for a few decades, may, if desired, be cleared or recycled, with little, or no, need for repository disposal (the remote handling technology of recycling has still to be developed and its economics assessed). These studies have confirmed and expanded earlier findings that the safety and environmental advantages would not all accrue solely from factors inherent to the fusion process itself, but depend also upon appropriate plant design. The results and lessons learnt from these studies can form inputs to future activities to design reference attractive fusion power stations.

  • FALSE STATEMENTS CONCERNING HIGHWAY PROJECTS T h i s p r o v i s i o n i s applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all related subcontracts. In order to assure high quality and durable construction in conformity with approved plans and specifications and a high degree of reliability on statements and representations made by engineers, contractors, suppliers, and workers on Federal- aid highway projects, it is essential that all persons concerned with the project perform their functions as carefully, thoroughly, and honestly as possible. Willful falsification, distortion, or misrepresentation with respect to any facts related to the project is a violation of Federal law. To prevent any misunderstanding regarding the seriousness of these and similar acts, Form FHWA-1022 shall be posted on each Federal-aid highway project (23 CFR 635) in one or more places where it is readily available to all persons concerned with the project: 18 U.S.C. 1020 reads as follows: "Whoever, being an officer, agent, or employee of the United States, or of any State or Territory, or whoever, whether a person, association, firm, or corporation, knowingly makes any false statement, false representation, or false report as to the character, quality, quantity, or cost of the material used or to be used, or the quantity or quality of the work performed or to be performed, or the cost thereof in connection with the submission of plans, maps, specifications, contracts, or costs of construction on any highway or related project submitted for approval to the Secretary of Transportation; or Whoever knowingly makes any false statement, false representation, false report or false claim with respect to the character, quality, quantity, or cost of any work performed or to be performed, or materials furnished or to be furnished, in connection with the construction of any highway or related project approved by the Secretary of Transportation; or Whoever knowingly makes any false statement or false representation as to material fact in any statement, certificate, or report submitted pursuant to provisions of the Federal-aid Roads Act approved July 1, 1916, (39 Stat. 355), as amended and supplemented; Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years or both."

  • Closing Date Balance Sheet (a) Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Shareholders' Representative a draft Closing Date Balance Sheet, which shall be prepared (i) in accordance with GAAP applied in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Company, except as otherwise specifically required by the Net Worth Methodology and (ii) in a manner consistent with the December Balance Sheet. (b) If Shareholders' Representative has no objections to the draft Closing Date Balance Sheet, such draft shall constitute the Closing Date Balance Sheet. If Shareholders' Representative has any objections to the draft Closing Date Balance Sheet, it will deliver a detailed statement describing its objections to Buyer within thirty (30) days after receiving the draft Closing Date Balance Sheet. Shareholders' Representative and Buyer will use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections. If Shareholders' Representative duly gives Buyer such notice of objection, and if Buyer and Shareholders' Representative fail to resolve the issues outstanding with respect to the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Closing Date Net Worth within thirty (30) days of Buyer's receipt of Shareholders' Representative's objection notice, Buyer and Shareholders' Representative shall submit the issues remaining in dispute to PricewaterhouseCoopers, certified public accountants (the "Independent Accountants"). If issues remaining in dispute are submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution, (i) Buyer and Shareholders' Representative shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountants may request and are available to that party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountants any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Independent Accountants; (ii) the determination by the Independent Accountants, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to both Buyer and Shareholders' Representative within thirty (30) days of the submission to the Independent Accountants of the issues remaining in dispute, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties and shall be used in the calculation of the Closing Date Net Worth; and (iii) Buyer shall bear fifty percent (50%) of the fees and costs of the Independent Accountants for such determination and fifty percent (50%) of such fees and expenses shall be paid from the Escrow Fund. (c) Buyer will make the work papers used in preparing the draft Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Balance Sheet available to Shareholders' Representative at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice at any time during the preparation by Buyer of the draft Closing Date Balance Sheet and the resolution of any objections with respect thereto.

  • Admission of the Corporate Taxpayer into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets (a) If the Corporate Taxpayer is or becomes a member of an affiliated or consolidated group of corporations that files a consolidated income tax return pursuant to Sections 1501 et seq. of the Code or any corresponding provisions of state or local law, then: (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the group as a whole; and (ii) Tax Benefit Payments, Early Termination Payments and other applicable items hereunder shall be computed with reference to the consolidated taxable income of the group as a whole. (b) If any entity that is obligated to make a Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment hereunder transfers one or more assets to a corporation (or a Person classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) with which such entity does not file a consolidated tax return pursuant to Section 1501 of the Code, such entity, for purposes of calculating the amount of any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment (e.g., calculating the gross income of the entity and determining the Realized Tax Benefit of such entity) due hereunder, shall be treated as having disposed of such asset in a fully taxable transaction on the date of such contribution. The consideration deemed to be received by such entity shall be equal to the fair market value of the contributed asset. For purposes of this Section 7.11, a transfer of a partnership interest shall be treated as a transfer of the transferring partner’s share of each of the assets and liabilities of that partnership.
