(Table A1) Calcium carbonate content of boreholes Kirchrode I and II

The technical details of drilling and coring at the Kirchrode I and II sites are presented. At these sites, a sequence of claystones and marlstones from an Albian shelf basin was recovered. Constraints on the ages of the sediments in the two boreholes are provided by the occurrence of the inoceramid bivalve Actinoceramus sulcatus, the first appearance of which is used to define the Middle/Upper Albian boundary and by observed facies changes that can be correlated to the established lithostratigraphy. The cores from the two boreholes provide a rather complete, 285-m-long sequence of the Upper Albian, with a 155.5-m-long overlap. Analysis of the tectonic structures showed considerable shortening in the Middle and Lower Albian part of the sequence due to normal faulting. Of the Upper Albian, only the lowermost part is affected by faults. The increase in sedimentation rates of terrigenous detritus and of marine biogenic carbonate, which occurs in the basal part of the C. auritus Subzone, is interpreted to reflect a regional change to a more humid climate and regional tectonic movements (uplift of the Rhenish Bohemian massif, subsidence of the Lower Saxony basin intensified locally by halokinetic movements). The further increase in marine productivity in the latest Albian may be related to upwelling of more nutrient-rich deep water along submarine relief in this shelf sea. Identification of Milankovitch cyclicity documented by the fluctuating CaCO3 contents of the sediments is used (i) to constrain the minimum time represented by the Upper Albian deposits, and (ii) to determine the duration of the sea level cycles (Cycle V: >=1.6 Ma, Cycle VI: >=2 Ma), and (iii) to establish the duration of the Late Albian ammonite subzones (e.g. Callihoplites auritus Subzone: 2.1 Ma). Average sedimentation rates determined from the identified 100-ka eccentricity cycles show a stepwise increase in sedimentation rates from 1-2 cm/1000 a in the Lower Albian dark claystones to 7-13 cm/1000 a in the late Late Albian. In addition to the general deepening trend through the Late Albian, two, nearly completely documented 3rd-order sea-level cycles in the Upper Albian of Kirchrode I were recognised, plus another one, cut short by faulting, at the base of the Upper Albian (documented in Kirchrode II). These global sea-level cycles were identified on the basis (a) of the sequence of the abundance maxima of selected benthos and plankton groups, (b) of trends in the fluctuations of the CaCO3 content, and (c) of the abundance of glauconite. The transgression periods in this Upper Albian deep shelf-basin are characterised by intensified circulation. This intensified circulation is found to have affected first the surface-near waters, resulting e.g. in an increase in the abundance of immigrant plankton and nekton species from the Tethys. At a later stage the deep water was affected, supporting then an increased population of suspension-feeding benthos, and causing condensation and erosion in the sediment at the sea floor.

Management audit of the flu vaccine procurement and the I-Save Rx Program /

This audit concluded that Illinois' preocurement of flu vaccine was not adequately planned or monitored and led to financial liability for vaccine that the state did not receive. The I-Save Rx Program, which imports prescription drugs into the United States from other countries, and was found to be in violation of federal law is also covered in this report.

Radiological emergency response : information for the public and the media.

Eleven commercial nuclear reactors used to generate electricity are currently operating at six sites in Illinois; no other state has as many nuclear reactors. In addition, there are two major research facilities in Illinois operated by the US Department of Energy (Argonne National Laboratory and FermiLab), uranium processing facilities at Metropolis and in nearby Paducah, Kentucky, several manufacturers of radiopharmaceuticals and other radioactive materials, thousands of radiation-producing machines used in medicine and industry, and a network of major arterial highways and rail lines over which radioactive material shipments move on a regular basis. Protecting the health and safety of Illinois citizens and the environment from the potentially harmful effects of ionizing radiation is a key function of IEMA'S Division of Nuclear Safety (DNS). That role is fulfilled through programs that monitor nuclear facilities around the clock, ensure the proper operation of radiation-producing equipment and the use of radioactive materials, and measure radioactivity in the environment to ensure no threats to public health exist.
