This paper presents an overview of the duties of a nuclear power plant (NPP) commissioning organization and its special relationship with both the early stages of an NPP project and the long-term operation of such power plants. Decisions made early in the design and procurement process need to be understood by commissioning staff, and their implications need to be incorporated into commissioning programs. Commissioning programs also need to take the steps needed to baseline plant-component ageing programs to facilitate the long-term NPP operation.

As a photographer living in Tokyo, I have been visiting Suetsugi village regularly to take photographs and show the printed photographs to the residents. What is the role of photography? What does it mean to be involved in the life of Suetsugi through photography? This article discusses some of the answers to these questions 5 years after the accident at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

Aim. Aim of this study was to determine the role of the genome of folate metabolism in the formation of triiodothyronine in children living in areas affected by the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident. Methods. Immunochemical, mathematical and statistical. Results. The proportion of cases of elevated blood levels of triiodothyronine is statistically significantly higher in the group of children who are carriers of the G risk allele of the MTR:А2756G genetic polymorphism associated with the В12-dependent methionine synthase enzyme than in the group of children who have no this allele (MTR:2756 A/A genotype). The formation of triiodothyronine is associated with the metabolic conversion of homocysteine involving vitamin В6 as a cofactor of cystathionine β-synthase. Conclusions. The cause of thyrotoxic effects with damage to the cardiovascular system may lie in high levels of homocysteine occurring due to impaired functioning of В12-dependent methionine synthase. Keywords: folate metabolism, triiodothyronine, genetic polymorphisms, radiation-contaminated areas.
