Aquatic Species Project Report, FY 1989--1990

Description: This report summarizes the progress and research accomplishments of the Aquatic Species Project. The four articles included are summaries of individual research projects and are entered into the EDB as such. The goal of the Aquatic Species Project is to develop the technology base for large-scale production of oil-rich microalgae. The project is also developing methods to convert the microalgal lipids into liquid fuels needed for industry and transportation. Researchers in the Aquatics Species … more

Program status 3. quarter -- FY 1990: Fusion technology development

Description: During this period, the ARIES-I blanket design team completed the preparation of the ARIES-I reactor design final report. The helium-cooled, lithium breeder, SiC composite structure blanket option for the ARIES-II was evaluated and it was found that the corrosion resistance of the SiC in lithium is very poor. At the direction of DOE/OFE, the ARIES team was directed to defer work on the ARIES-II and to begin work immediately on the ARIES-III advanced fuel (D-{sup 3}He) tokamak design. Also, Vari… more

Yakima River Species Interactions Studies Annual Report: 1990

Description: Studies of species interactions were implemented to address concerns about the possible effects of supplementation (with anadromous species) on resident fish populations in the upper Yakima River basin. The current study objectives include collection of baseline information on the fish populations in the upper Yakima River and associated tributaries. As part of this baseline phase, spawning surveys of the upper Yakima River and thirteen selected tributaries between Roza and Keechelus dams were … more
