Because of theinfluence of wind in creating current, there is a relationshipbetween this oceanic circulation and the general circulationof the atmosphere. The oceanic circulation is shown on thechart following this page (winter N. hemisphere), with thenames of the major ocean currents.
Radiological Dispersion Device. Terrorist use of a Radiological Dispersion Device (RDD) â often called âdirty nukeâ or âdirty bombâ â is considered far more likely than use of a nuclear explosive device. An RDD combines a conventional explosive device â such as a bomb â with radioactive material.
A residual current device (RCD) is a safety devicethat switches off electricity automatically if thereis a fault. RCDs are far more sensitive thannormal fuses and circuit-breakers and provideadditional protection against electric shock.Additional protection by means of an RCD canbe a lifesaver.An RCD constantly monitors theelectric current flowing along a circuit.n appliance can then be plugged intothe RCD. These are useful when neither fixed norsocket-outlet RCDs are available, but again theyprovide protection only to the person in contactwith the equipment, including the leads,plugged into the portable RCD.
