Determination of basalt physical and thermal properties at varying temperatures, pressures, and moisture contents. First progress report, fiscal year 1979

Description: This report is a summary of the rock mechanics testing done at the Earth Mechanics Institute of the Colorado School of Mines for Rockwell Hanford Operations under Subcontract SA-917. Cores were supplied from drill hole DC-6 on the Hanford Site, characterized geologically, and tested for thermal and physical properties for designing long-term underground storage of radioactive waste materials. This report presents the approved test procedures, results, and data analysis for this test series. Res… more

[Experimental and theoretical plasma physics program]. Technical progress in FY 1979

Description: This report summarizes recent technical progress in the major areas of study. Because a considerable variety of work has been performed this year they authors first give brief synopses of individual research projects categorizing them as to their relevance to the general areas of plasma stability analyses, plasma heating or basic plasma physics. Next, they discuss these projects as they relate to and support the various DOE experimental programs. The DOE experimental programs are: (1) toroidal … more

Fossil Energy Research and Development Program of the U. S. Department of Energy, FY 1979

Description: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) focuses energy Research and Development efforts on new and promising ways to provide for our future energy needs. This document focuses on DOE's programs and projects related to the nation's Fossil Energy resources: coal, oil, natural gas and oil shale. Fossil Energy programs have grown rapidly from about $58 million in FY 1973 to the $802 million requested for FY 1979. As those programs have matured, there have been significant shifts in emphasis. For exampl… more

Office of Environment. Statement of programs: FY 1979

Description: Meeting our energy needs and protecting the quality of our environment are complementary parts of our national energy planning. The search for energy supplies and the development of new energy sources must go hand-in-hand with clean air, clean water, and a healthy environment. The Office of Environment (EV) has a major responsibility in the Department of Energy (DOE) for assuring that environmental concern are translated into environmental programs and commitments. EV studies the environmental,… more
