A gasoline blend or blendstock that cannot be shipped via existing petroleum product distribution systems because of incompatibility problems. Gasoline/ethanol blends, for example, are contaminated by water that is typically present in petroleum product distribution systems

Use of energy as feedstock or raw material input.

Work began on the NRCN in 1959 as part of the national policy to develop the Negev desert. The IRR-2 reactor operates on the NRCN, fueled by natural uranium, heavy water cooled and moderated. The reactor’s nominal capacity is 26 MW. The research conducted at the NRCN is designed to broaden the basic knowledge in nuclear sciences and adjacent fields, and to provide the foundation for the practical and economic utilization of nuclear energy. A national radioactive waste disposal site is situated at the NRCN. Radioactive waste from hospitals, research institutions, higher education facilities and factories is delivered to the site.

All nuclear energy generated today is produced from a process called fission, which involves the splitting of the nucleus of a heavy atom (a uranium atom, for example) into two or more lighter nuclei. The fission process isn’t what produces electricity. Instead, this process produces massive amounts of heat which is used to create steam. The steam drives large turbines which rotate electrical generators to produce electricity. The process is virtually identical to energy production from combustible fuels such as coal and natural gas, except that nuclear energy produces steam in a different way.
