Gallium highly reactive (rubidium and caesium) nor highly toxic (mercury) and can therefore be used in metal-in-glass high-temperature thermometers. It is also notable for having one of the largest liquid ranges for a metal, and for having (unlike mercury) a low vapor pressure at high temperatures. Gallium's boiling point, 2673 K, is more than eight times higher than its melting point on the absolute scale, the greatest ratio between melting point and boiling point of any element. Unlike mercury, liquid gallium metal wets glass and skin, along with most other materials (with the exceptions of quartz, graphite, and Teflon), making it
Gyeongju nuclear waste disposal facility and inspections required to enforce the policies set in place by the M.O.S.T., as well as setting standards for safety, is the KINS: Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety. The Nuclear Safety Commission (NSC), a branch within the KINS, has the task of being the decision making body on nuclear safety and regulatory policies, as well as licensing. Gyeongju nuclear waste disposal facility The Gyeongju nuclear waste disposal facility is of silo-type design involving disposal at depth meant to safely house dangerous radioactive waste at Gyeongju in South Korea. Storage of Low to Intermediate Level Waste (LILW) was planned. In its
