Environmental Engineering Abstracts

Environmental Engineering Abstracts covers the world literature pertaining to technological and engineering aspects of air and water quality, environmental safety, and energy production.

Sources include more than 500 primary journals thoroughly indexed and abstracted. Over 2,500 additional sources, including monographs and conference proceedings, are also monitored for relevant articles.

Subject Coverage

Major areas of coverage include:

Agricultural equipment and methods
Arctic and tropical engineering
Coastal engineering
Environmental impact and protection
Hazardous materials
Heat exchangers
Hydroelectric power
Internal combustion engines
Mines and quarry equipment
Nuclear power plants
Pipes and pipelines
Sources and control of air pollution
Steam power
Thermoelectric energy
Tidal and wind power
Treatment of sewage and industrial wastes
Turbines
Water analysis and treatment techniques

Dates of Coverage

Approximately 1990-current. The oldest record in the database has a publication date of 1973; about 50% of its records have publication dates of 1997 or later.

Update Frequency

Once a month. Approximately 12,000 new records are added per year.

Size

Over 210,505 records as of February 2007

Print Equivalent:

Environmental Engineering Abstracts (1990 - 2003)

Thesaurus

Records unique to the Environmental Engineering Abstract database are indexed with the Pollution Thesaurus. Otherwise, the ESPM Thesauri are used as appropriate.

AB:	Abstract As obsolescence and spare parts issues drive nuclear power plants to upgrade with new technologies (such as optical fiber communication systems), the ability of the new technologies to withstand environmental stresses that act at the installation location needs to be determined. New standards may be required to address environmental qualification and their application to the nuclear power plants of tomorrow. This article discusses the failure modes and age-related degradation mechanisms relevant to fiber-optic communication systems in particular, and suggests a methodology for identifying conditions under which accelerated aging should be performed during qualification testing. While optical fiber communication systems have been used as the basis for discussion, the methodology presented should be applicable to any safety-related instrumentation and control equipment not covered under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 50.49).
