Abstract Novi Han Repository is the only existing repository in Bulgaria for the disposal of radioactive waste from nuclear applications in industry, medicine and research. The repository was constructed in the early sixties according to the existing requirements. It was operated by the Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy for more than thirty years without any accident or release of radioactivity to the environment, but without any investment for upgrading. As a consequence, the Bulgarian Nuclear Safety Authority temporarily stopped the operation of the repository in 1994. The measures for upgrading Novi Han Repository, supported by the IAEA with TC Project BUL/4/005 “Increasing Safety of Novi Han Repository”, are presented in this paper. They consist of: assessment of radionuclide inventory and future waste arisings, characterization of disposal vaults, characterization of the site, safety assessment, upgrading of the monitoring system, option study for the selection of treatment and conditioning processes and the development of a conceptual design for low and intermediate level waste processing and storage facility, immediate measures for improvement of the existing disposal vaults and infrastructure, and construction of above-ground temporary storage structures. The outstanding activities for re-opening of the Novi Han Repository and implementation of the measures for reconstruction of the Novi Han Repository are discussed.

In this paper, water supply, distribution and storage structures in Şanlıurfa city that were built since the ancient times are investigated and technological details of some water supply structures are given. The city is one of the oldest cities and has hosted many civilizations throughout the centuries, beginning from 11500 BC. The acquired archaeological heritage shows that the city had important water supply practices. Many water structures, which can be categorized as the structures of the pre-Islamic Period (Roman Period) and post-Islamic Period (Ottoman Period), were constructed in the city. Charity structures and cisterns, Turkish baths, aqueducts and dams, water balance facilities, maksems, bridges, wells, fountains and karliks are among these structures. Roman influence is observed in the water architecture of the Ottoman Empire. The influence is best observed in the hayrats of the city, built in the pre-Islamic and post-Islamic Period. During the history of the city, the settled communities have destroyed many of the cultural structures of previous civilizations; however they have protected and developed water structure systems. This situation has meant that water structures have lasted to the present and it is interesting to note that most of these systems are still in use.

The technology used to secure supplies of urban drinking water can reveal much about the management of the natural landscape. Gortyn in Crete provides an exceptional case study, for the 4th–7th centuries A.D., due to the almost complete preservation of the city’s water system; this can be deduced from its spring-fed capture points, through transportation and storage structures, right up to its distribution outlets to the citizens. These fortunate circumstances allow us to analyse an evolving distribution system, and to study related changes in water use by the inhabitants of this Mediterranean provincial capital.

<p>The study was undertaken to evaluate the performances of an experimental box and platform, as storage structures for white yam tubers (<em>Dioscorea rotundata </em>Poir.). The criteria used for evaluation were the degree of mass loss during storage, tuber sprouting and rotting during the 20 weeks storageperiod: March - June 2015. Measurements of temperatures and relative humidity of the storage environment were taken three times daily during the period. Mass loss in each tuber was measured weekly while sprouts were removed from tubers weekly. Results show that the average temperature and relative humidity in the experimental box were 29.7 °C and 78.6 % respectively, while for the platform, they were 30.7 °C and 76.5 %., respectively. Rotting was completely absent on tubers in both storage approaches. White yam tubers stored in the box exhibited a cumulative mass loss of 9 %, while on the platform, it was15.0 %. The experimental box performed better in respect to mass loss and nutritional composition.</p>

Post-Harvest losses of fruits are considered to be a major problem that affects many farmers in most developing countries like Nigeria. Reduction of post-harvest losses and quality deterioration are essential in increasing food availability from the existing productions. Minimizing this loss has great significance for food security, economic growth and welfare of the society. Losses are caused by a variety of factors ranging from growth conditions, pre-harvest practices, types of harvesting techniques, post-harvest practices, means of transportations, condition of roads and retail stores or market. This survey was conducted to explore the farmers’ practices, gender, harvesting techniques, means of transportation, wholesalers and retailers and consumers information. Structured questionnaires on farm gate, transportation, marketing, consumers, and post-harvest practices were administered to randomly, selected sweet orange (Citrus sinensis Osberk) farmers, marketers and consumers from all local government areas in each three states (Lagos, Osun, Ogun States). The data collected were subjected to descriptive analysis, means, percentages and graphs were drawn. The survey revealed that poor infrastructure, lack of formal education and poor agricultural practices account for over 50% losses from farm to the markets and finally to the consumers. Most traders took fruits to markets for sale without considering the quality of the produce. More than 70% of the respondents clear their farm by bush clearing using hired labourers. Orange plucking using long poles and shaking were practiced by 90-100% of farmers in the 3 states.  Farmers heap their fruits on bare floor in Truck/ Lorries, pick up van and saloon cars (taxis). Over 90% of respondents made gains or profits from sweet orange business. Results also revealed 100% of respondents consumed sweet orange raw/fresh. Wholesalers and retailers were not aware of any suitable storage structures either in the market or on farm.  The designed Go-to-Hell used for harvesting oranges had no degree of diseases incidence compared to long stick or shaking. The agricultural practices employed in handling and storage of sweet oranges in Lagos, Ogun and Osun States need to be improved upon.
