From abstract "As part of the Department of Energy (DoE) National Uranium Resource Evaluation Program, LKB Resources, Inc. has performed a rotary-wing reconnaissance high sensitivity radiometric and magnetic survey, encompassing several 1:250,000 quadrangles in southwestern Arizona and southeastern California. The surveyed area consisted of approximately 9300 line miles. The radiometric data was corrected and normalized to 400 feet terrain clearance. The data was identified as to rock type by correlating the data samples with existing geologic maps. Statistics defining the mean and standard deviation of each rock type are presented as listings in Volume I of this report. The departure of the data from its corresponding mean rock type is computed in terms of standard deviation units and is presented graphically as anomaly maps in Volume II and as computer listings in microfiche form in Volume I."

This report discusses unemployment in the aerospace industry, especially in California and various federal aid options for unemployed aerospace workers as well as potential alternative jobs for aerospace scientists and engineers.

Second volume of a report documenting a high-sensitivity airborne radiometric and magnetic survey of the Salton Sea and El Centro quadrangles including maps documenting geophysical and geochemical data, as well as magnetic, ancillary and radiometric data.

Data listings from the reduced data tapes for each of the National Topographic Map Series quadrangles (Salton Sea NI 11-9, Phoenix NI 12-7, El Centro NI 11-12, Ajo NI 12-10, Lukeville NH 12-1) to accompany the report on the reconnaissance survey. The pages document the quadrangle, survey company, survey area, year, and line number; they include single record reduced data listings and averaged record data listings.

The concept design for a small (less than 10 MWe) solar thermal electric generating plant was completed using projected 1985 technology. The systems requirements were defined and specified. The components, including an engineering prototype for one 15 kWe module of the generating plant, were conceptually designed. Significant features of the small solar thermal power plant were identified as the following: (1) 15-kWe Stirling-cycle engine/alternator with constant power output; (2) 10-meter point-focusing paraboloidal concentrator with cantilevered cellular glass reflecting panels; (3) primary heat pipe with 800/sup 0/C output solar cavity receiver; (4) secondary heat pipe with molten salt thermal energy storage unit; (5) electric energy transport system; and (6) advanced battery energy storage capability. The present emphasis for achieving cost reduction goals centers on improving conversion efficiency and reducing the cost of key components.
