SOLARSIM is a quantitative computer model which calculates, on a regional and national basis, domestic water and domestic space and water heating loads for single family detached dwellings. SOLARSIM is also capable of performing life-cycle cost analyses of solar space and water heating systems of various levels of intricacy. The main function of SOLARSIM, a solar energy financial incentive model for the applications of solar water heating and solar space and water heating, is to estimate the impacts of different economic and financial incentive scenarios designed to accelerate the market penetration of solar energy heating systems.

Facilities generating radioactive waste and a fuel processor were contacted to obtain data on types and quantities of waste produced. The incinerator is being modified to allow the burning of liquid wastes. Ash immobilization studies continued with both glass and cement being tested for rendering the ash inert. A drum compactor fabricator has been located who can compress drums to meet program requirements.

The geometry and size of the superconducting coils for the Mirror Fusion Test Facility (MFTF) proposed by Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL) impose certain constraints on the Nb-Ti superconductor. The most promising fabrication process is a wrap-around technique in which a superconducting core is ''wrapped'' in stabilizing copper that contains built-in cooling channels. Insulation between pancake coils and turns is provided by perforated sheets and buttons of epoxy-impregnated fiberglass. Preliminary heat-transfer tests conducted on short samples of single conductor and on a nine-conductor bundle are reported and related to the heat generated in ''normal'' conductors. Investigation of joining techniques, necessary because of the length of conductor needed for the MFTF magnet (about 21 km per coil), show that cold-welded butt joints best meet all requirements. In a test coil now being built, approximately 2 km of prototype MFTF conductor will provide a self-field of about 4 T. Supplementary coils will boost the field to about 6.7 T. The test coils will be used to study cryostatic stability, the propagation and recovery of normal zones, and diagnostic techniques.

Fourier line spectra are used to detect noise on the electron beam of an electron beam welder. These spectra are calculated from data in the form of x-ray intensity as a function of time. Statistical tests are described that provide a means of determining the presence of random and periodic signals. The tests remove the uncertainty in deciding if power is present and, if so, at which frequencies. The tests have proven to be consistent and reliable. They are of suitable generality to be useful when it is essential to assess a signal for power quantitatively.
