The GAO looked at how our Reactor Oversight Process
objectively examines reactor safety based on inspection results and
performance statistics. The report said we consistently and accurately
respond to significant issues.
Epoxy System Offers Superior Acid Resistance
High performance epoxy adhesive, Master Bond
EP21AR, has successfully withstood immersion in 96-98% sulfuric acid and
36% hydrochloric acid for over a year. It features excellent resistance
to fuels, oils, ethanol and many organic solvents. EP21AR has been
employed for use as
a coating/liner for chemical and fuel storage tanks, chemical piping,
scrubbers and chemical processing equipment. Click here to learn more!

Carbon Counterattack
How Big Oil Is Responding to the Anti-Carbon Moment
By Michael T. Klare
Around the world, carbon-based fuels are under attack. Increasingly grim economic pressures, growing popular resistance, and the efforts of government regulators have all shocked the energy industry. Oil prices are falling, colleges and universities are divesting from their carbon stocks, voters are instituting curbs on hydro-fracking, and delegates at the U.N. climate conference in Peru have agreed to impose substantial restrictions on global carbon emissions at a conference in Paris later in the year. All this has been accompanied by what might be viewed as a moral assault on the very act of extracting carbon-based fuels from the earth, in which the major oil, gas, and coal companies find themselves portrayed as the enemies of humankind.
Under such pressures, you might assume that Big Energy would react defensively, perhaps apologizing for its role in spurring climate change while assuming a leadership position in planning for the transition to a post-carbon economy. But you would be wrong: instead of retreating, the major companies have gone on the offensive, extolling their contributions to human progress and minimizing the potential for renewables to replace fossil fuels in just about any imaginable future.
