What is an inner bridge permit?
"Inner-Bridge" refers to the following: For the Interstate Highway System, inner-bridge legal weight limits are established. There is a weight limit for the truck tractor portion of the truck tractor/semi-trailer combination and a weight limit for the latter part of the combination. The extreme axle distances for each of the two portions are both designated as inner-bridge limits. The inner-bridge for the truck tractor portion is the distance from the center of the steering axle to the center of the last truck tractor axle. The inner-bridge for the latter portion is the distance from the center of the rear axle of the tractor or the center of the first axle of the rear axle group of the tractor to the center of the last axle of the trailer.

Does nuclear containment building has gates or how can employers get inside?
Yes, a nuclear containment building has pneumatically operated entrance doors with an in-between airlock compartment so that the outside environment is not mingled with the containment's inner atmosphere.
The containment is always maintained at a negative pressure than the normal atmosphere in order to keep the vicinity safe against any untoward airborne radiation escape.
Also the containment itself is designed, constructed and maintained according to the stringent safety design guidelines and standards authenticated and governed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The employees working in a nuclear environment have to undergo radiological safety training to be qualified to have access to the containment. Their radiation exposure is continually monitored as per the safety guidelines issued by IAEA.

How expensive are groynes to build?
The cost of building groynes can vary significantly depending on factors such as location, materials, and design. On average, constructing a single groyne can range from tens of thousands to several hundred thousand dollars. The total expense can also increase based on the length and complexity of the structure, as well as environmental considerations and permitting costs. Overall, it's essential to conduct a detailed feasibility study to obtain a more accurate estimate for specific projects.
