Page 152 - Site Office, along with travel funds and contract expenses. The Plant and Capital Equipment budget would provide for general plant projects at the fossil energy field centers and the capital equipment needs for the entire Fossil Energy R&D organization. The Cooperative R&D budget provides Federal matching funds (up to 50%) for projects proposed by the US private sector and conducted by the Western Research Institute (Laramie, WY) and the University of North Dakota Energy and Environmental Research...
Page 9 - Interest from private industry in commercial applications is evolving but no formal proposal has been made. President Clinton stated in "A Vision of Change for America" that: The FY 1994 budget proposal eliminates the research and development funding support and related facility funding for nuclear reactors that have no commercial or other identified application. Therefore, future DOE funding for the current Exploration Mission Power Requirements and Issues William L.
Page 82 - ... educational materials. The request also includes funds to continue support for the Prefreshman Enrichment Program which Involves 7,000 middle school students (predominantly women and minorities) in summer workshops on mathematics, science and engineering conducted by universities on their campuses. Continued analyses of manpower in energy-related fields are also supported, as are projects designed to retain women and minorities In the math/science pipeline who are interested in careers as pre-college...
Page 64 - This program develops the knowledge base necessary to identify, understand, and anticipate the long-term health and environmental consequences of energy use and development and utilizes the Department's unique scientific and technological capabilities to solve major scientific problems in the environment, medicine, and biology.
Page 14 - Included, however, are the necessary funds for termination costs as well as for safety-related activities that are required to place the test facilities in a safe shutdown condition. Actinide recycle research and the facilities operation to support this research will continue, to allow demonstration of its nuclear waste management potential. DOE's Uranium Enrichment Program will be conducted by a new, wholly-owned government corporation, to be known as the US Enrichment Corporation, as of July 1,...
Page 52 - Increase our ability to study the structure of materials, produce radioactive and heavy element Isotopes, and conduct research on radiation effects on materials. Isotopes produced In the reactor would have important Industrial and Medical applications, such as for cancer therapy.
Page 200 - In use for almost three decades, radioisotope power systems are proven, reliable, and maintenance-free power supplies capable of producing up to several kilowatts of electricity for tens of years. Such systems are the cornerstone of the Nation's space nuclear...
Page 54 - Confinement subprogram in the tokamak area, assembly and check-out of virtually all systems for the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory will be completed in December, 1982 in preparation for reactor operation and, ultimately, demonstration of scientific feasibility.
Page 24 - Factory, which 1s a Departmental investment initiative. The B Factory is a high energy physics initiative that funds the design and construction of a high luminosity electron-positron colliding beam machine for the purpose of studying the fundamental aspects of the structure of matter. In Nuclear Physics, funds are included to continue construction of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in order to maintain our world leadership position in nuclear...
