It was seen as an effort to save money while the city was led by an emergency manager appointed by the Republican governor. In April 2014, Flint left Detroit's system and joined the regional effort, tapping into the Flint River as its primary source until the pipeline would be completed. For years, officials in Flint and surrounding Genesee County discussed creating an independent system - along with a separate pipeline to Lake Huron. ![]() When and why did Flint change its water source?įlint had long received its water from Detroit's massive system but officials complained about the rates. ![]() Some questions and answers on how Flint got here, where things stand and what's next: It's yet another challenge for a city of 99,000 people beset by numerous auto factory closures and thousands of job losses over the decades, and where about 40 percent of the population lives in poverty. Rick Snyder, whose administration has come under fire for how it handled concerns about the water, to coordinate a recovery plan. The Federal Emergency Management Agency also approved a request by Michigan Gov. I have even had some customers call me from KS.Michigan National Guard leaders began arriving in the city to help distribute bottled water, filters and other supplies.

![]() Pica itself is not always harmful, but addressing its underlying causes can help prevent its associated risks. They also observed that many participants sought the nonfood items because they were appealing and felt the scent or taste helped alleviate their nausea. The researchers noted that some participants believed that the white clay and ice had nutritional value. The most common items consumed were white clay and ice. The study also found that 47.5 percent of the women had some form of pica during pregnancy.

![]() In my view, the IAEA Director General would certainly not approve a paragraph 14 arrangement that does not satisfy the basic undertaking of the safeguards agreement, namely to verify that nuclear material is not diverted to nuclear weapons, other nuclear explosive devices, or for purposes unknown.įuel constraints. Moreover, even if the AUKUS partnership does not result in the provision of nuclear-powered submarines, Australia will not be the last country to consider this. The allowance for naval nuclear propulsion exists, and it would be unrealistic to try to remove it from all countries’ safeguards agreements. However, this problem is far from unsolvable. Should Australia invoke paragraph 14, it would be a novel case in which many complex legal and technical questions would require answers (though some questions are explained by the IAEA safeguards system’s seminal documents, as shown in this brief). To date, paragraph 14 has been invoked only once-by Canada, which was interested in nuclear-powered submarines but ultimately decided not to pursue them, so no arrangement with the IAEA was made. This provision is spelled out in paragraph 14 of INFCIRC/153 and is understood to apply to naval nuclear propulsion.Īny country invoking paragraph 14 must make an arrangement with the IAEA so that the non-application of safeguards will happen only while the nuclear material is being used in the non-prohibited activity. The treaty does require countries that are party to it (with the exception of the five nuclear weapon states) to conclude an agreement with the IAEA for the application of safeguards “on all material in all peaceful nuclear activities.” These so-called comprehensive safeguards agreements, based on INFCIRC/153, contain a provision that a member state can invoke for the “non-application” of safeguards to nuclear material used in activities that are not prohibited under the agreement. However, it makes no mention of non-explosive military uses such as naval nuclear propulsion. The treaty also prohibits nuclear weapon states from facilitating nuclear weapons acquisition by others. The NPT-the international community’s foundational nuclear treaty-prohibits non-nuclear weapon states from receiving nuclear weapons, other nuclear explosive devices, or control over nuclear weapons manufacturing or otherwise acquiring nuclear weapons or receiving any assistance in doing so. The legal framework and nuclear-powered submarines. However, the way in which some countries have responded to the initiative in the IAEA’s Board of Governors has been unconstructive. Insistence that the AUKUS effort should set a strong precedent and be conducted in close consultation with the IAEA is well founded. They involve militarily sensitive nuclear technology that to date only the five nuclear weapon states recognized by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) command. Nuclear-powered submarines are no small thing. Ultimately, China dropped its resolution when it failed to win support beyond a few other IAEA member states. The Chinese delegation attempted not only to push a separate resolution on AUKUS and its implications for IAEA safeguards, but also to insist on AUKUS-related language in other conference resolutions-including resolutions on the IAEA’s safeguards system, the application of safeguards in North Korea, and even the IAEA’s budget. On the other hand, whether to address AUKUS in a conference resolution (and if so, how) was the subject of intense debate during conference deliberations. On the one hand, in his opening remarks Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said unequivocally that the drafters of the document on which the vast majority of safeguards agreements are based (an information circular known as INFCIRC/153) recognized that military naval nuclear propulsion was a permitted activity. This issue played out in dramatic fashion in September at the IAEA’s annual General Conference in Vienna. What has raised concern is the alarm over AUKUS from a small but vocal minority of countries, clearly driven by geopolitics rather than safeguards. As these measures are in place for Australia, I saw no need for concern. While nuclear-powered submarines in a non-nuclear weapon state’s possession would be unprecedented, safeguards-technical measures implemented by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)-are designed to ensure that sensitive nuclear technology is not diverted toward the manufacture of nuclear weapons. When I first heard the announcement, I was unconcerned. Since the September 2021 announcement of the Australia-United Kingdom-United States (AUKUS) partnership entailing a “trilateral effort of 18 months to seek an optimal pathway” to help Australia acquire nuclear-powered submarines, experts opposed to such acquisition have made grave predictions about it. ![]() As a Springfield resident I have always tried to verbally encourage people to use your services. This has been that way since before this site was under new management. ![]() As a customer, I had booked 3-5 trips every summer, with 4 parties. To that gentleman, I apologize for my apparent rude interruption. I am posting this in case the gentleman I talked to (or was yelled at for calling), was an employee, not the owner. I called (yes five times over 30 minutes, and got an answer on the fifth call), and because of my apparent "excessive calling" I have been told to no longer use their services " in a not nice way". The website says to call for advanced notice on 16 mile trips. Well after using this outfitter spot for over 10 yrs, I was just rudely yelled over the phone. Sharing a post I put on the Mad River Adventures page on FB. Also, the water treatment facility run-off is into this river and bacteria levels increase after rains due to flooding. Which does run you through the south side of Springfield so be warned. Other than that, I always have a relaxing time. The river is quick and deep in some spots and I have had to rescue a kid or two more than once. I don't recommend kids go down this river adventure after it has rained. The river is dangerous, extremely so after a good rain. I have never had any problems with the property owners along the river, even when we stop as long as we stay close to the river. I also know Springfield well and know that you have to keep your eyes open and watch out for craziness. I have raised my kids on that river, they have all been Canoeing since they were five or six and have moved up to Kayaks. I know that I am riding "at your own risk", but the staff is always friendly, and we are warned about the rivers conditions before we pay. ![]() For one thing I am a Springfield Native, and Mad River has been my traquility for my entire life. |
