[89] [90] An average stainless steel object is composed of about 60% recycled material of which approximately 40% originates from end-of-life products, while the remaining 60% comes from manufacturing processes. [91] What prevents a higher recycling content is the availability of stainless steel scrap, in spite of a very high recycling rate.
50 to 60% of all core radioiodine in the reactor, about 1760 PBq (1760 × 10 15 becquerels), or about 0.4 kilograms (0.88 lb), was released, as a mixture of sublimed vapour, solid particles, and organic iodine compounds. Iodine-131 has a half-life of 8 days. [2] 20 to 40% of all core caesium-137 was released, 85 PBq in all.
The 16-17 Saver was introduced in 2019 [3] in order to allow people aged 16 and 17 to access child fares, which are normally only available to children under 16. [4] The railcard costs £30.00 for a year (or until the holder's 18th birthday, whichever is sooner), [5] and offers up to 50% off rail fares, the same as child rate tickets.
Steel is one of the world's most-recycled materials, with a recycling rate of over 60% globally; [3] in the United States alone, over 82,000,000 metric tons (81,000,000 long tons; 90,000,000 short tons) were recycled in the year 2008, for an overall recycling rate of 83%.
Between December 1999 and December 2002, the euro traded below the US dollar, but has since traded near parity with or above the US dollar, peaking at US$1.60 on 18 July 2008 and since then returning near to its original issue rate.
In 1961, new State Treasury notes were introduced for 1, 3 and 5 rubles, along with new State Bank notes worth 10, 25, 50, and 100 rubles. In 1991, the State Bank took over production of 1, 3 and 5-ruble notes and also introduced 200, 500 and 1,000-ruble notes, although the 25-ruble note was no longer issued.
For example, to make 100 mL of 50% alc/vol ethanol solution, water would be added to 50 mL of ethanol to make up exactly 100 mL. Whereas to make a 50% v/v ethanol solution, 50 mL of ethanol and 50 mL of water could be mixed but the resulting volume of solution will measure less than 100 mL due to the change of volume on mixing, and will contain ...
