Sommario/riassunto |

"No one in 1980 could have guessed that Zimbabwe would become a failed state on such a monumental and tragic scale. In this incisive and revealing book, Richard Bourne shows how a country which had every prospect of success when it achieved a delayed independence in 1980 became a brutal police state with hyperinflation, collapsing life expectancy and abandonment by a third of its citizens less than thirty years later.

This standard sets forth the minimum requirements for installation, inspection and testing of Class 1E power, instrumentation and control equipment and systems during the construction phase of a nuclear power generating station. These requirements also cover modifications and those activities occurring during the operating phase that are comparable in nature and extent to related activities occurring during the initial construction of the station. All references to construction activities in this standard shall refer to this scope which includes operational modifications. |
