Il est largement reconnu que les gardes civils et les services d’incendie jouent un rôle clé dans l'éducation et la communication proactives à l'égard du grand public, en particulier dans un rayon de 20 km de la centrale de Point Lepreau. Ils rendent visite aux nouveaux habitants de la région et leur fournissent de l'information sur la préparation d’urgence et une trousse comprenant une brochure, des comprimés d’iodure de potassium, un détecteur de fumée et un dispositif de notification à la collectivité affichant de l'information et des instructions sur les situations d’urgence. Ils les informent des mesures de protection, par une approche «tous risques». Les gardes civils recueillent de l'information sur le nombre de foyers et le nombre de personnes par foyer, déterminent les besoins en communication et étudient les questions de mobilité. 6, record 5, French, - coordonnateur%20en%20cas%20d%26rsquo%3Burgence

Ballistite is a double-base powder used as a rocket propellant. It is composed of two explosive substances, nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin, blended together with diphenylamine, which acts as a stabilizer. It burns with a considerable amount of flash and smoke, and generates a great volume of gas. Ballistite burns progressively, but at a rate dependent upon the composition and physical characteristics of the powder grain, the temperature of the powder grain before ignition, and the pressure during reaction. It is produced in various shapes to fit the rocket motor housing. 2, record 9, English, - ballistite

The refractory photocell uses a beam of light that passes through a small chamber at a point away from the light source. Normally, the light does not strike the photocell, and no current is produced. This allows the switch to remain open. When smoke enters the chamber, it causes the light beam to be refracted ... in all directions. A portion of the scattered light strikes the photocell causing the current to flow. 1, record 10, English, - refractory%20photocell
