Our sophisticated high-pressure injection system can prove challenging to our customers.

A number of our customers have reported problems when operating the high-pressure injection system. Their reports indicate that our customers may not have all the information that they need to safely use the systems. These situations suggest that our customers don't understand when or how they can safely shut down following an accident that requires the continuous operation of the high-pressure injection system.

To illustrate this problem, two examples...

...

The operator stopped HPI when pressurizer level began to recover, without regard to primary pressure. As a result, the transient continued on with boiling in the RCS, etc.
In a similar occurrence on October 23, 1977, the operator bypassed high-pressure injection to prevent initiation, even though reactor coolant system pressure went below the actuation point.

These incidents could have been avoided if our customers had more knowledge about use of the system, and if they had ready access to a reference providing simple, easy to understand operational guidance.

I recommend that we provide the following guidelines -- in writing -- to our customers:

a) Do not bypass or otherwise prevent the actuation of high/low pressure injection under any conditions except a…

Business Leadership in Relation to Rhetoric Leadership and Rhetoric Leadership is a trait that is neither completely naturally inherited, nor completely learned. But it is actually a blend of inherited characteristics/traits and the skills cultured from individuals throughout their lifetimes. This is exactly what Pericles had. He possessed an inherent set of leadership traits as well as a voice that persuaded and converted an entire empire to great heights of success and

Aristotle identified the productive sciences as those concerned with the making of things, such as farming, art, and engineering. Aristotle did not say much about productive knowledge. The practical sciences are concerned with action and with how we ought to act in various circumstances, in both private and public affairs. Knowledge becomes theoretical when its goals are neither production nor action but simply truth, and this is what we

Vernacular Rhetoric has an element of discussion which ensures that there is hope of better and newer social circumstances to emerge as the ideologies behind social movements keep changing. The combination of Rhetoric and vernahas yielded the momentous Theory of Vernacular Rhetoric which embodies the teachings of persuasive use of inherent and familiar tongues to offer resistance by persons to bring social change. References Amos, R. (1969). House Form and Culture.

While these are some of the more famous elements of rhetorical theory, they do not require extensive discussion here for two reasons. Firstly, they are fairly well-known. Secondly, and more importantly, they actually do not provide much insight into the uses of rhetoric, because Aristotle implicitly inserts an ethics into his discussion of rhetoric that precludes it from having as robust an application to the real world as would

Burke had a "puissant sense of the potency and efficiency of the word," Schwartz goes on (Schwartz 1966), which meant that man reveals his "symbolizing capacity through language." The ceremony continues, with some spiritually appropriate remarks offered by the clergy in charge. Sometimes, the bride and groom write the script from which the clergy will read. And often, the bride and the groom write their own personalized vows. But in

Logos in online communications changes because diction has changed such as in the use of slang. Words can be copied, pasted, and inserted into related documents that are then shared with the group via the online collaboration software and so words have become less sacrosanct, more a part of the common domain. Online collaboration tools aid communication and make at-a-distance meetings possible. However, online communication has drawbacks. One major drawback
