operation Explanation: thats what i'd suggest, because: 1) this is a synonym of manipulation and of handling; 2) manipulation is not a perfect word in this case, as it is more connected with controlling by hands (manus in latin), some joysticks, PQcontrol systems etc; 3) in this context the mentioned tanks are administrated in some special way, but administration is more Verwaltung. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 47 mins (2007-02-18 13:49:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- the Standards for Owners and Operators of Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (EPA 1999a), which governs the operations of such facilities. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3796/is_200310/a... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 49 mins (2007-02-18 13:51:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- planning, management, permitting and regulation of solid waste and hazardous waste. Operations range from recycling and waste reduction, household hazardous waste, and pollution prevention to financial assurance and full cost accounting of solid waste management facilities and financial assurance of hazardous waste facilities.. http://www.dep.state.fl.us/waste/ Management could be a good alternative too, but I think it is a synonim of Verwaltung. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 53 mins (2007-02-18 13:55:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hey, that's what i meant! the Hanford Tank Waste Operations Simulator, or HTWOS, models and simulates tanks, waste compositions, and waste flows. It applies decision rules to enable us to create practical and effective plans for safely moving the waste. http://www.gensym.com/?p=news_release&id=93 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-02-18 14:03:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- So here (in the translated text) operation refers to some way of safe, effective moving and handling of waste tanks. |

peer agreement (net): +2processing Explanation: Is this imprecise enough? http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=processing -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-02-18 14:32:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As EF points out below, you can pick any three in virtually any order from: 'managing', 'handling', 'processing', 'treating'. However, I don't think they will be 'organising', 'implementing' or 'operating' any waste products. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2007-02-18 16:40:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- On second thoughts, I would be wary of using 'treatment' in this context unless the waste products are actually subjected to some sort of chemical process. |
