CLEANING AND CARE

To clean, wipe fixture with soft cloth. Clean glass with mild soap. Spray from chemical cleaners can discolor the finish of fixture. Extend-A-Finish Laquer Conditioner, Item#70295, is recommended once a year to clean, condition, and protect fixture. Do not use scouring pads, powders, steel wool or abrasive paper to clean this fixture.

NOTE FORFIXTURESTHATARE SOLIDBRASS:

Your hand-crafted, solid brass lighting fixture has been coated with a durable, baked-on acrylic lacquer which gives maximum protection against the weather. However, in time the brightness of the brass will tarnish, giving way to an authentic old-world brass finish. To keep your solid brass fixture looking new for years to come, regularly apply a good quality, non-abrasive car wax to all metal surfaces, giving the fixture an extra protective covering.

W-185 specifications

The Westinghouse W-185 is a notable entry in the landscape of nuclear power technology. Designed during the mid-20th century, this pressurized water reactor (PWR) has made significant contributions to the commercial nuclear power generation field. With a thermal power output of approximately 1,000 megawatts, the W-185 was conceived to meet the growing demands for robust and reliable energy sources in an increasingly electrified world.

One of the main features of the W-185 is its use of enriched uranium as fuel. This choice is a characteristic of PWRs, allowing for a more efficient fission process. The reactor operates at high pressure to keep the water in a liquid state, even at elevated temperatures, which is vital for maintaining efficiency in heat transfer. The design incorporates a secondary cooling system, wherein steam generated in the primary loop is transferred to a secondary loop for electricity generation through turbines.

The W-185 employs advanced safety systems that align with modern nuclear regulations and practices. Safety is bolstered by multiple backup systems, including redundant cooling mechanisms and containment structures designed to withstand significant external events. These safety features are critical in addressing potential concerns around nuclear accidents and ensuring public trust in the technology.

In terms of operational efficiency, the Westinghouse W-185 is equipped with automated control systems that facilitate real-time monitoring and adjustment of the reactor's functioning. Digital instrumentation enhances the ability to respond to operational anomalies, contributing to safer and more efficient operations. Further, the reactor has been designed to allow for extended operational lifespans through regular maintenance schedules and upgrades.

The Westinghouse W-185 plays a pivotal role in demonstrating the potential of nuclear energy as a clean and reliable power source. As countries around the world grapple with energy demands and the transition to reduced carbon emissions, technologies like the W-185 represent a crucial component in the energy mix. Its design illustrates how nuclear technology can meet energy needs while adherating to strict safety and environmental standards, making it an important case study in the evolution of nuclear power generation. The Westinghouse W-185 stands as a testament to the advancements in nuclear engineering and the future of sustainable energy.
