The first two phases of this program developed a lighting system that improved the system efficacy from 46 lm/w to 58 lm/w. In addition, the a power factor of 90% was attained which reduced the supply current by 46% as well as reducing the harmonic content below 3%. This system is being demonstrated on board a ship for final acceptance, and is expected to be employed on newly constructed ships. Phase 3 of this program explores the development of a still more efficient lighting system, in which an efficacy of 80 lm/w is the target. The system is a centralized system in which the 115 volt a.c. is distributed to one or more site on board ship and converted to a d.c. voltage. The d.c. is distributed on to a large group of lamps. At each lamp there will be an oscillator that converts the d.c. to a high frequency a.c. voltage that drives the lamp. This report is an analysis of the rectifying circuit, its efficiency and an estimated cost. 1 fig., 5 tabs.

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) is now beginning to depend upon dedicated gas analyzers in their collider and large fixed target experiment areas. In the past one or two gas samples were taken and sent off to Argonne National Laboratory for gas analysis, for even a basic check of ratios for Ar (Argon) C{sub 2}H{sub 6} (Ethane) 50/50% mixtures. This paper discusses the measuring techniques.

Goal is to study selective poisoning by fractional monolayers of chemisorbed sulfur on metal catalysts. A Pt catalyst on alumina support has been synthesized. Stabilized Fe catalysts without and with half monolayers of chemicsorbed S have been prepared. These catalysts, along with a Ni-alumina reference catalyst, will be used in experimental studies. 2 figs.

This memorandum records the minutes of the PRA Senior Review Panel meeting held at Savannah River Laboratory (SRL) on December 1--3, 1987, and the report on that meeting written subsequently by the panel members. The minutes are contained as Attachment 2 of this memorandum, and the report as Attachment 1. The Panel indicated two principal concerns in their report: (1) that insufficient emphasis is being placed on the reliability data development program, and (2) that excessive detail is being built into the fault trees. These concerns have been addressed in a subsequent meeting with the Panel, held March 2--4, 1988. In addition, the members have been provided with a program document (Reference 1) indicating the extent, the timing, and the limitations of the data analysis effort for the PRA.
