At the request of Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, four plutonium strips 0.050 inches thick, 0-50 inches in width and 6 inches in length have been examined by metallographic, chemical, X-ray, density and dilatometric methods. The data obtained will help calibrate high energy electrical discharge equipment used to rapidly heat plutonium.

The purpose of this plan is to determine hydraulic conditions at Well 399-1-16C (16C) and to present a remediation plan. The objectives are to restore hydraulic isolation of the confined aquifer (water level returning to approximately 370 ft) and to prevent chemical contamination between the unconfined and confined aquifers. This work scope is an extension of Task 4d of the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study Work Plan for the 300-FF-5 Operable Unit, Hanford Site, Richland, Washington, DOE/RL 89-14 (1990), and is a result of discussions held with the regulators and documented this plan was presented to the regulators at the January 1993 unit managers meeting and is documented in the minutes from that meeting.

In 1980 US electric utilities reported purchasng 594 million tons of coal, 408.5 million barrels of oil and 3568.7 billion ft/sup 3/ of gas. As compared with 1979 purchases, coal rose 6.7%, oil decreased 20.9%, and gas increased for the fourth year in a row. This volume presents tabulated and graphic data on the cost and quality of fossil fuel receipts to US electric utilities plants with a combined capacity of 25 MW or greater. Information is included on fuel origin and destination, fuel types, and sulfur content, plant types, capacity, and flue gas desulfurization method used, and fuel costs. (LCL)

A letter report issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "Created in 1933 to insure bank deposits and promote sound banking practices, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) plays an important role in maintaining public confidence in the nation's financial system. FDIC administers the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF), which protects bank and savings deposits, and the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC) Resolution Fund (FRF), which was created to close out the business of the former FSLIC. Section 17 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, requires GAO to annually audit the financial statements of the DIF and the FRF. GAO is responsible for obtaining reasonable assurance about whether FDIC's financial statements for the DIF and the FRF are presented fairly in all material respects, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and whether FDIC maintained effective internal control over financial reporting, and for testing FDIC's compliance with selected laws and regulations."
