A weekly publication, the Texas Register serves as the journal of state agency rulemaking for Texas. Information published in the Texas Register includes proposed, adopted, withdrawn and emergency rule actions, notices of state agency review of agency rules, governor's appointments, attorney general opinions, and miscellaneous documents such as requests for proposals. After adoption, these rulemaking actions are codified into the Texas Administrative Code.

The Morgantown Energy Technology Center (METC) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is actively pursuing the development of reliable and cost-effective processes to clean coal gasifier gases for application to integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) and molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) power plants. A large portion of gas cleanup research has been directed towards hot gas desulfurization using Zn-based sorbents. However, zinc titanate sorbents undergo reduction to the metal at temperatures approaching 700{degrees}C and lose reactivity because of volatilization. In addition, sulfate formation during regeneration leads to spalling of reactive surfaces. Because of these problems with zinc-based sorbents, METC has shown interest in formulating and testing manganese-based sorbents. Currently, many proposed IGCC processes include a water quench prior to desulfurization. This quench is required for two reasons; limitations in the process hardware (1000{degrees}C), and excessive Zn-based sorbent loss (about 700{degrees}C). With manganese, the water quench is not necessary to avoid sorbent loss, since Mn-based sorbents have been shown to retain reactivity under cyclic testing at 900{degrees}C. This advantage of manganese over zinc has potential to increase thermal efficiency as the trade-off of increasing the equilibrium H{sub 2}S over-pressure obtainable with a manganese sorbent. In the work which is reported …

Interview with John D. Dellingham, a Navy WWII veteran from Dallas, Texas. Dellingham discusses his experiences aboard the USS Hull at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, as well as his decision to join the Navy, training, assignment to the Hull, work and life on the ship, operations prior to December 7th, the crew's reaction to the attack and performance in the battle, operations afterwards, and his service later in the war.

This is the fourth quarterly report describing the activities performed under Contract No. DE-AC21-94MC31160. Task 1 of this contract concerns analyses of HGCU ashes and descriptions of filter performance that are designed to address the problems with filter operation linked to the characteristics of the collected ash. Task 2 of this contract includes characterization of new and used filter elements. Some of the problems observed at the Tidd and Karhula PFBC facilities include excessive filtering pressure drop, the formation of large, tenacious ash deposits within the filter vessel, and bent or broken candle filter elements. These problems have been attributed to ash characteristics, durability of the ceramic filter elements, and specific limitations of the filter design. In addition to these problems related to the characteristics of PFBC ashes, our laboratory characterizations of gasifier and carbonize ashes have shown that these ashes also have characteristics that might negatively affect filtration. Problems with the durability of the filter elements are being addressed by the development and evaluation of elements constructed from alternative ceramic materials.

Radioactive materials make up a significant part of the hazardous-material inventory of the Department of Energy. Much of the radioactive material will be inspected or handled by robotic systems that contain electronic circuits that may be damaged by gamma radiation and other particles emitted from radioactive material. This report examines several scenarios, the damage that may be inflicted, and methods that may be used to protect radiation-hardened robot control systems. Commercial sources of components and microcomputers that can withstand high radiation exposure are identified.

The objective of this project is to retrofit a burner, capable of firing microfine coal, to a standard gas/oil designed industrial boiler to assess the technical and economic viability of displacing premium fuels with microfine coal. This report documents the technical aspects of this project during the sixteenth quarter (July `95 through September `95) of the program. The overall program has consisted of five major tasks: (1) A review of current state-of-the-art coal firing system components. (2) Design and experimental testing of a prototype HEACC (High Efficiency Advanced Coal Combustor) burner. (3) Installation and testing of a prototype HEACC system in a commercial retrofit application. (4) Economics evaluation of the HEACC concept for retrofit applications. (5) Long term demonstration under commercial user demand conditions.

The purpose of this report is to describe activities performed by the Intermediate Energy Nuclear Physics Group (IENPG) at the Louisiana State University (LSU). During the preceding year the authors have been actively involved with three collaborations--the PHENIX Collaboration, the DLS Collaboration, and the E866 Collaboration at Fermilab--that are the foci of their activities. In addition they are members of a fourth collaboration, the AMY Collaboration at KEK, and in concert with other members of that collaboration they are working diligently to terminate all its ongoing activities. The first three collaborations are discussed here.

This report will provide a summary report of work performed under Subcontract B324681 from November 1 through December 14, 1995 and covers work relevant to Subtasks 1-11. The work performed under this contract was presented and reviewed at the NIF Radiation Sciences Users Group meeting held on November 29-30. Present where senior representatives from the NIF Project, the DOE Office of the NIF, the DOE ICF program, and the Defense Nuclear Agency. This report is divided into seven sections, not including the Introduction to include; Potential Test Capability, Operational Scenarios, Facilitization Issues, Security Issues, Performance/Cost/Risk Considerations, a Summary of Requested Modifications to the NIF and finally, Conclusions. Within each section will be a short narrative and a copy of the view graph presentation.
