U. S. energy flow in 1976

Description: An energy flow diagram for the U.S. for 1976 is presented, and one for 1975 is included for comparison. Some significant differences between 1975 and 1976 are: total energy use increased 4.8 percent, almost reaching the record use of 1973; oil imports increased significantly to 15.5 quads, more than 20 percent above 1975, and almost 44 percent of our total oil use; coal and natural gas remained more or less constant; by the author's reckoning, the industrial sector was unique in that its energy… more

Economy-wide impacts of interfuel substitution: substitution of electricity for imported oil

Description: An Energy Input-Output Model is applied to analysis of the long-run effects (to 1985) of higher oil prices in the U.S. economy. Two questions are examined. First, what are the effects of sustained, higher international oil prices. Second, what are the effects of substituting domestic-coal-produced electricity for high-priced foreign oil. Variables examined include capital investment, personal consumption expenditures, exports and imports, labor force, and energy production.

Food survey. Part A. U. S. agriculture in the U. S. balance of trade. Part B. The world food-population problem

Description: Part A of the paper examines U.S. agriculture with respect to its current and future role in that U.S. trade balance. Part B is a brief look at the world food-population problem. It is appropriate to examine alternatives. One alternative is to simply import oil and pay for it with agricultural exports, security being achieved through diversification of sources of imports. This study examines and identifies the major food issues. An attempt is made to demonstrate that U.S. agricultural exports w… more

Safeguards technology: present posture and future impact

Description: With widespread and growing concern over the issues of nuclear safeguards, international nuclear trade and nuclear weapons proliferation, the full development of the world's nuclear energy potential could well depend on how effectively the strategic nuclear materials that fuel nuclear power are controlled and safeguarded. The broad U.S. program in nuclear safeguards and security is directed toward a balanced safeguards system incorporating the two major components of physical security and mater… more

Distributional effects of the fiscal impact of power plant siting. [Nuclear power plants]

Description: Classical economic base analysis is grounded in the concept that export activity drives the local economy and that economic impacts due to development can be traced to changes in the export base. Local government activities are frequently treated as a consequence of economic change, but no significant economic impact has been associated with imported tax dollars. In this paper the siting of a power reactor is examined, and it is concluded that the major economic impact related to the siting may… more

Future natural gas supply to the Northeast

Description: The Northeast is heavily dependent on oil (63 percent) to meet its energy demand. The second largest fraction (18 percent) is provided by natural gas. In 1972, the Region consumed 2.3 trillion cubic feet of gas, out of which 0.5 percent was imported from Algeria as LNG and Canada. About 3 percent was produced within the Region and about 96 percent came from the rest of the nation, mainly the Gulf Coast area. In terms of end use, the residential sector consumed the largest portion (46 percent); … more

Technologies for Fissile Material Detection and Prevention of Fissile Material Introduction into International Shipping

Description: Prevention of the introduction of fissile materials into international shipping, and hence into a given country, is a complex problem. Some pieces of the solution to the puzzle are conceptually well defined, but lack definition of a technical pathway and/or operational implementation. Other elements are a little more fuzzy, and some elements are probably undefined at this point in time. This paper reviews the status of the more well-defined elements, and suggests needed additional measures to e… more

Detection of nuclear threats in large cargo containers

Description: In 2003 scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the University of California at Berkeley undertook a collaborative effort. The goal of this collaboration is to develop a concept for an active neutron interrogation system that can detect small masses of contraband fissile material in intermodal cargo containers--roughly five kg of highly-enriched-uranium or one kg of plutonium--even when well shielded by thick cargo. It is essentia… more

Future oil supply to the Northeast United States

Description: The Northeast consumed some 4.6 million bbls/day of petroleum products in 1972. Nearly 63 percent of that supply was of foreign origin, making the Northeast the single largest oil-importing region in the nation. The remainder of its supply originated mainly in states on the Gulf of Mexico. The phasing out of coal as a major utility boiler fuel and curtailment of natural gas sales to the Northeast have led to the rapid increase in the use of petroleum products. Nationwide oil production reached … more
