Per Se

This chapter, focusing comparatively on the Canadian and UK experiences, explores one particular component of the wide-ranging work involved in privatizing and commodifying public land: the discursive component. It turns to a context where land commodification is driven less by extra-economic force and more by the lure of economic efficiency. The chapter examines the land “fictions” or legitimizing narratives — not just about land per se but about the different types of owners it can have — to rationalize and justify the process of commodification. It reveals that the kernel of these fictions is the particular idea invoked by the state that public land is often “surplus” land, and thus free to be commodified. The chapter details how surplus labels are readied, and land released to the private sector, through techniques of (dis)incentivization, the normalization of public land disposal practices, and the transfer of authority to different actors. Ultimately, the chapter presents three main sections: some essential preparatory material, the pivotal concept of “surplus,” considering its distinctive articulation and coloring in each national context, and the ways in which these fictions of surplus are brought to life.

ABSTRACTLiNO3 addition to cement was examined to prevent hydrogen gas generation from metallic aluminum in dry active wastes during waste solidification and under circumstances of underground water penetration into the land disposal site. And its reaction mechanism was identified by some chemical analyses. The volume of the hydrogen gas generation with LiNO3 addition was 10% as much as that without LiNO3, by formation of the insoluble Li-Al preservation film on aluminum. After the land disposal of waste forms, LiNO3 would be expected to be effective to prevent aluminum corrosion as long as the cement forms keep their alkaline character, and when it became ineffective, the circumstances around the waste forms can be made less corrosive for aluminum. The aluminum corrosion at that time would be as much as 10% of that without LiNO3 addition.
