1. 10042 - Safety First
By G. Waller and David J. Cochrane, 1990. Fire tests and study of life-cycle costs together demonstrated that
stainless steels are cost-effective materials. They offer a greater degree of safety than glass-reinforced
plastic, aluminum or mild steel, galvanized or painted steels. Compared with mild steel, lightweight
stainless steel structures reduce topside weight of oil platforms. Additionally, they enhance fire resistance
and virtually eliminate the need for maintenance. Maintenance onshore and offshore is costly, disruptive of
production, and sometimes hazardous. The wide deployment of stainless steel will therefore yield significant
economic benefits as well as providing levels of fire safety unequalled by alternative methods, the studies
showed.

3. SR-0007 - Status Report #7, 2000 -- Nickel in Society
A report on sustainable development The three elements commonly used to define sustainable development --
social, economic and environmental elements -- are applied here to the seven benefits to society of
nickel-containing materials, namely: corrosion protection, high temperature strength, durability,
cleanability, power generation and recyclability.
