National and International Water Law

Abstract

The exchange of data and information relating to transboundary water resources is widely accepted as being an appropriate starting point for more comprehensive cooperation. This paper examines under what conditions data and information exchange occur in relation to shared water resources, and hence examines when it can be used as a confidence building measure. An overview of several major international river basins together with more detailed case studies of the Mekong. Rio Grande, and Rhine River basins suggest that factors that promote data and information exchange include the presence of compatible needs, absence of legacies of mistrust, increasing water resources stress, perceptions that cooperation is of mutual benefit, external pressure and funding, comparable levels of institutional capacity, popular and political concern about water resources management, and functional formal or informal cooperative arrangements. Analysis of the situation prevailing between Israel and the Palestinians with regard to shared water resources suggests that data and information exchange does not seem likely in the short term, even though other forms of cooperation have been established with mixed results. This suggests that in some situations, at least, data and information exchange relating to shared water resources may not be useful as a first step in establishing more comprehensive cooperation.     

Phase formation and modification of corrosion property of nitrogen implanted Ti-Al-V alloy

In the present investigation, polished samples were implanted with nitrogen ion at an energy of 60 keV and implantation doses were 1×10¹⁶, 5×10¹⁶, 1×10¹⁷ and 6×10¹⁷ ions/cm². Glancing incidence X-ray diffraction was employed on the implanted specimens to understand the phases formed with increasing dose. The valence states of nitrogen, titanium and carbon on the sample surfaces were analyzed by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. The corrosion resistance was examined by the electrochemical methods in a solution with pH=10 at room temperature in order to determine the optimum dose that can give good corrosion resistance in a simulated nuclear reactor condition. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the topographies of nitrogen-implanted Ti-Al-Zr after potentiodynamic measurement. It was found that implanted nitrogen dissolved in titanium matrix with increasing dose and the resultant nitrides such as TiN and Ti₂N precipitated. Implantation of nitrogen ions into the surface of Ti-Al-V alloy improves its corrosion resistance, and the increase of the corrosion resistance depends on the nitrogen dose employed; the maximum improvement of the corrosion resistance was observed at a dose of 1×10¹⁷ N⁺/cm².     

Preparation of a sensor substrate using functionalized mesoporous silica on a gold film for surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy

The use of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy has been applied to a wide variety of fields such as biosensors and surface analysis instruments. In general, a SPR substrate is prepared using self-assembled monolayer (SAM) method of organic molecules as receptor for the target on a layer of gold or silver. However, mesoporous inorganic materials such as SBA-15 have benefits as sensor substrate for SPR. Mesoporous silica has a large surface area which receptor molecule can be attached and has a rigid body which has an excellent stability in the extreme condition compared to organic sensing layer. We prepared an organic modified mesoporous silica and successfully immobilized it on a gold surface, in an attempt to use as a substrate for SPR spectroscopy. For the comparison of sensitivity of prepared substrate, Pt²⁺ detection was selected as a model system. Substrate prepared in this study exhibited the capability of selective sensing for Pt²⁺ ions.

Using selective precipitant for uranyl ions — Fundamental studies for evaluating the precipitant performance

We have developed a simple reprocessing process for spent FBR fuels using N-cyclohexyl-2-pyrrolidone (NCP) which has selective precipitation ability for UO₂²⁺ ions. It was confirmed that NCP has sufficient precipitation ability for UO₂²⁺ ions, decontamination capability (separation of UO₂²⁺ from simulated fission products), and resistance to γ-ray radiation in nitric acid solutions. These findings indicate that NCP is applicable to our reprocessing process. We have also evaluated performances of other precipitants such as N-n-propyl-2-pyrrolidone (NProP), N-n-butyl-2-pyrrolidone (NBP), and N-n-butyl-2-pyridone (NBPyr). It was found that higher decontamination factors (DFs) are obtained by using NProP and NBP. This can be interpreted that the hydrophobicity of NProP and NBP is lower than that of NCP. Furthermore, we have obtained an experimental result that the resistance of NBPyr to γ-ray radiation is superior to that of NCP.     

液态金属离子源发射系统电场的模拟分析

发射系统是液态金属离子源的关键部件之一，它的性能的优劣直接影响到整个离子源的工作稳定性和可靠性。因而对其发射系统进行仿真分析，可以很好地指导液态金属离子源的设计制造。本文采用国际上重视的动态喷流柱模型，利用模拟电荷法对液态金属离子源的发射系统的电场进行了计算分析，画出了发射尖端电场强度随不同参数变化的曲线，得出发射尖端表面场强与球冠半径、发射体突出臂长度密切相关，而与引出电极的结构关系甚小的结论，因此液态金属离子源发射特性（如角电流强度）的改善，必须在发射尖的设计制作上下功夫。从而为液态金属离子源的设计提供了一个有效的辅助工具。

用于处理高浓度钨酸钠溶液的离子交换新工艺

开发了离子交换新工艺用于处理高浓度钨酸钠溶液。与传统工艺相比,新工艺既保持了传统工艺的优点,又突破了对交前液浓度的限制,可在高的WO3浓度、高的NaOH浓度的条件下实现钨的吸附、净化和转型。吸附时对溶液流速的限制也大幅度放宽。由于采用高浓度溶液进行离子交换,稀释用水可以大幅度削减。相应车间建筑空间和动力消耗也得以下降,设备的处理能力则相对上升。另外交后液体积锐减,易于处理甚至处理后回用以降低化工原料NaOH的消耗和环境污染。
