This preliminary bibliography has been prepared for the 1978-79 Intercollegiate Debate regarding guaranteed employment.

State and federal tax treatment as an incentive to development and non-tax financial incentives such as: the federal geothermal loan guarantee program, the federal geothermal reservoir insurance, and state financial incentives are discussed. (MHR)

This is Appendix C to the Pilot Plant Overall Plant design description document for the 10-MW pilot central receiver plant to be located at Barstow, California. The environmental design criteria to be used for plant design day performance, operational limits, and survival environmental limits are specified. Data are presented on insolation, wind, temperature, and other meteorological conditions. (WHK)

The eastern part of the White Mountain batholith is dominated by four intrusive complexes, which contain similar sequences of intrusive rocks. Although the details of the sequence of intrusion differ from complex to complex, the Osceola Granite is generally an early phase, followed by the development of ring dikes of Albany Porphyritic Quartz Syenite and finally the intrusion of Conway Granite. One intrusive complex contains riebeckite granite as a late phase, and at least two complexes fed volcanic eruptions, some of the products of which are preserved in subsided blocks. A specialized study of the orientation of joints was made in the eastern halo of the batholith. Measurement of gravity over the eastern part of the batholith and reduction of these data allows gravity residuals to be calculated and two- and three-dimensional models for the eastern part of the batholith to be constructed. The gravity models are consistent with steeply dipping contacts with the country rocks, and the maximum depth of the eastern part of the batholith is between 4 km and 5.25 km. The temperature distribution within the eastern part of the batholith can be determined using existing parameters for heat flow, heat production, and conductivity augmented by new …

A report on the Workshop on Perspectives in Energy is presented. The workshop, conducted from July 31 to August 10, 1978, included field trips, new energy topics of particular interest to the area around Kansas, and outside speakers. The response of the participants to the workshop are summarized.

An experimental solar heating and cooling system has been constructed at LBL. It was designed to serve as a test system to check out the operation of an LBL-developed solar controller that looked promising in terms of its commercialization potential. Improvements were made in the experimental heating and cooling system to enable quantitative determination of the auxiliary energy savings made possible by using this type of controller. These improvements consisted of installation and calibration of accurate instrumentation, data acquisition capabilities, and development of simulated input and output devices that would allow repeated experiments using the same running conditions. In addition, the possibilities of further development of the heating and cooling system into an experimental test facility for a wide range of solar control strategies have been investigated.

This paper is subdivided into three chapters to match three corresponding lectures. The goals of the first chapter are to define the neutral-beam-heated, quasi-d.c. mirror confinement systems under discussion here and to give a general example of mirror diagnostics by listing and very briefly discussing the diagnostics used on the 2XIIB experiment at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. The second chapter develops mirror machine diagnostics in more detail, and adds background for a few selected diagnostics of particular importance to mirror machine studies. The third chapter discusses the special diagnostic needs of future mirror machines, with emphasis on diagnostics involving the higher-power neutral beams used with them.

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.

This report presents a brief history of the Act, discusses the major changes made by the 95th Congress (or, in some instances, considered but not adopted), and suggests certain sources which might be useful in providing a reader with diverse interpretations of the Act and its impact.

Recovery of municipal solid wastes (MSW) can reduce the mass of landfilled wastes by as much as 95% and can tap a vast new energy resource. The yearly collection of MSW is estimated to be 125 million tons nationwide. Three basic technologies for recovering energy from MSW are considered, namely: direct combustion using a waterwall incinerator in which heat from burning refuse is converted to steam by circulating water in steel tubes jacketing the interior of the incinerator; manufacture of a relatively uniform shredded, pulverized, or pelleted refuse-derived fuel for supplemental firing in a utility boiler; and pyrolysis or destructive distillation of MSW to extract a low-Btu fuel gas. While resource and energy recovery systems can be installed independently, the processes described here include both energy and resource-recovery systems as well as necessary pollution-control equipment for gaseous emissions. Three end-use applications of cogeneration systems are characterized, including: fluidized-bed cogeneration systems for use in the pulp and paper industry; diesel system using the digested sewage gas of a sewage treatment plant for electricity generation as well as heating and pumping; and an enhanced oil recovery system. Comparisons are made of system inputs per 10/sup 12/ Btu steam output for Landguard pyrolysis, …
