This face was restored by using the skull of the philosopher DESCARTES kept in the Paris
Museum of Mankind.

Descartes was born in France in 1596, and died in Stockholm in 1650.
19??-1596=353
2003-1650=353

"353 "is a magic number. Because, I was born 353 years after Descartes was born. In this year, 353 years have passed since Descartes died. This is a chance agreement.

Title: Method for diagnosing a remaining lifetime, apparatus for diagnosing a remaining lifetime, method for displaying remaining lifetime data, display apparatus and expert system
Document: United States Patent 5608845
Abstract: In a method for determining a remaining lifetime of an aggregate constructed of a plurality of components and having at least one function, and an apparatus thereof, a first remaining lifetime of the aggregate is acquired based upon experimental aging degradation data on one characteristic of at least one component of the aggregate; a second remaining lifetime of the aggregate is acquired based upon experimental aging data with respect to at least one function of the aggregate; a third remaining lifetime of the aggregate is acquired based on both the experimental aging degradation data on the one characteristic of at least one component of the aggregate and the experimental aging data on at least one function of the aggregate; and, a remaining lifetime having the shortest lifetime from the first through third remaining lifetimes is output as the remaining lifetime of the aggregate.

A Relation between High Loading of HLW and Space Reduction of Disposal

Hisao OHTSUKA and Kazunori SUZUKI

Institute of Research and Innovation (IRI), 1201 Takada, Kashiwa, Chiba 277-0861 Japan, ohtsuka@iri.or.jp

ABSTRACT: For an effective use of geological disposal place, namely, the reduction of disposal space, the extension of disposal life , it is important to reduce the amounts of disposed package of high level radioactive waste (HLW). Considered the characteristic of heat generation of HLW during the geological disposal, the effect of space reduction was evaluated by the technical application of a separation of nuclides in HLW and a solidification with high loading of waste.

KEYWORDS: HLW, Separation of nuclides, Solidification with high loading of waste, Heat generation
