You will usually have 48 hours notice, and before the rainy weather starts residents prepare for the onset of damaging winds by stocking up on supplies, checking their stoves, electric clocks, toiletries, items for infants and toddlers.\nResidents are also urged to pack away clothing, ready large garbage cans for the storage of water, get batteries into radios, tune them into emergency radio for all the latest storm information. You should also not forget to ready the flashlights in case the power does go out during the height of the storm, and as well make sure non-perishable food items are readily available. \n\nWater should be gathered and placed in clean containers for drinking. As well, other items including ice to be used to keep foodstuffs cold, and blankets should be on hand. \n\nSome tips now on what you should do to prepare for the storm’s arrival: get those important documents into zipable plastic bags, and cover your beds with plastic, as well (closets are the best place to stow away items). Roll carpets away from doors to ensure they do not get wet from rain coming through the cracks in your door, and don’t forget to keep that flashlight handy. \n\nSome more tips on what to do inside when the storm creeps closer are to be aware that as the power could fluctuate to remember to unplug any and all appliances. Such activity avoids the likelihood of shock. You would also be wise to turn off your gas ranges. \n\nFinally, outside you should secure all loose items, get toys and lawn furniture stored, canopies and other portable shelters should be taken down as well, as all to avoid having them be propelled into the storm posing a significant risk to life and property.

During performance of the quarterly surveillance, HPCI pump operability, the HPCI system was secured when the "HPCI Turbine Oil Pressure Low" alarm was received and confirmed. Turbine governor end bearing oil pressure was 2 PSIG. The alarm setpoint is 6 PSIG and procedure limit is 10-12 PSIG. Pressure adjust valve was throttled open to raise pressure to 11 PSIG. The HPCI system was not immediately declared inoperable since an evaluation was being performed to determine if 2 PSIG turbine bearing oil pressure was adequate. Evaluation by the vendor will not be complete until 10/18/06. At 1655 hours, HPCI declared operable after a successful run with adequate oil pressure. HPCI is a single train system."\n\nThe licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.\n\n\n\n* * * UPDATE PROVIDED BY NRC ON 11/06/06 AT 1106 EST DUE TO EVENT ENTRY ERROR * * *\n\nOriginal report was entered in error on 10/17/06 with Unit 2 versus Unit 1. Changed EN #42914 to accurately reflect the affected unit (Unit 1).\n\n* * * RETRACTION PROVIDED BY E. BURKETT TO KOZAL ON 11/16/06 AT 1039 * * *\n\n"EN #42914 was submitted by Southern Nuclear Operating Company based upon a conservative decision to declare the HPCI system inoperable pending further evaluation to support its operability. Southern Nuclear Operating Company retracts EN #42914 based on the following discussion.\n\n"During a subsequent review of the parameters by the HPCI Turbine Vendor, Dresser-Rand, and site engineering it was concluded that the HPCI system would have been capable of performing its intended safety function with the lower turbine governor end bearing oil pressure.\n\n"During the operation of the system, the visual local indication was approximately 2.5 PSIG oil pressure at the governor end bearing. A review of the data showed that with a governor end oil pressure of the procedural minimal of 10 PSIG, the predicted oil flow rate would be 1.08 gpm with a minimum film thickness of 0.48 mils and a maximum bearing temperature of 228 deg F. With a degraded oil pressure of 2.5 PSIG, the predicted oil flow rate would be 0.54 gpm with a minimum film thickness of 0.46 mils and a maximum bearing temperature of 233 deg F.\n\n"Based on the calculated data, the turbine governor end bearing would have performed satisfactorily for at least 8 hours at an oil pressure of 2.5 PSIG. Using the design basis success criteria, HPCI operation is successful if the system can inject water through the core Feedwater line for a total of 4 hours over a 24 hour period. The 4 hour mission time for HPCI is based on the design basis - if HPCI fails, it is backed up by the Automatic Depressurization System (ADS) in combination with Core Spray and Low Pressure Coolant Injection. The HPCI system is not credited for long term injection or late injection.\n\n"Although the oil flow rate was reduced by 50% and the minimum film thickness reduced by 4%, the bearing temperatures were predicted to only increase a maximum of 5 deg F. Supporting this conclusion is the fact that the bearing was not damaged during the operation with low oil pressure when the turbine was run for 9 minutes at 2.5 PSIG governor end bearing oil pressure.&quo

The terms "hurricane" and "typhoon" are regionally specific names for a strong "tropical cyclone". A tropical cyclone is the generic term for a non-frontal synoptic scale low-pressure system over tropical or sub-tropical waters with organized convection (i.e. thunderstorm activity) and definite cyclonic surface wind circulation (Holland 1993). \n\nTropical cyclones with maximum sustained surface winds of less than 17 m/s (34 kt, 39 mph) are called "tropical depressions" (This is not to be confused with the condition mid-latitude people get during a long, cold and grey winter wishing they could be closer to the equator ;-)). Once the tropical cyclone reaches winds of at least 17 m/s (34 kt, 39 mph) they are typically called a "tropical storm" and assigned a name. If winds reach 33 m/s (64 kt, 74 mph)), then they are called: \n\n"hurricane" (the North Atlantic Ocean, the Northeast Pacific Ocean east of the dateline, or the South Pacific Ocean east of 160E) \n"typhoon" (the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the dateline) \n"severe tropical cyclone" (the Southwest Pacific Ocean west of 160E or Southeast Indian Ocean east of 90E) \n"severe cyclonic storm" (the North Indian Ocean) \n"tropical cyclone" (the Southwest Indian Ocean)

As much as I hate to contradict others, the East and West explanation is inaccurate. Hurricanes are in the Northern Hemisphere, while cyclones and typhoons are in the Southern Hemisphere. Another difference, which is caused by their location, is the direction in which they spin. The rotation of  the Earth causes hurricanes to spin counterclockwise, while cyclones go clockwise.

Drilling Rig , Via Wikipedia\n\nReverse circulation the course of drilling fluid downward through the annulus and upward through the drill stem. Also referred to as “circulating the short way,” since returns from bottom can be obtained more quickly than in normal circulation. Compare normal circulation.

I thought cyclones were tornadoes and typhoons where the Pacific version of hurricanes.\n\nI may be all wet though!

Actually there are 2 answers to this. One method uses a technique called Rhumbline(sp?) (or straight line) another uses something called the great circle.\n\nI once wrote a program to do this for hurricane tracking.\nThe method I used was the straight line. For what i was doing this was fine however for navigation the great circle\nmethod is usually prefered. This code is old C (not even C++). Hope this helps you.

Explanation of tsunamis would be interesting. More specific the tsunami alert system of the Pacific ocean involving mainly USA and Japan.

a. is correct.  A storm surge is a localized increase in sea level near the center of a hurricane where the atmospheric pressure is the lowest.  High tide gives it greater height and destructive power, just as channeling it into a narrow bay will.
