Practical Superconductor Development for Electrical Power Applications, Annual Report: 1991

Annual report for the superconductor program at Argonne National Laboratory discussing the group's activities and research. This report describes technical progress of research and development efforts aimed at producing superconducting components based on the Y-Ba-Cu, BI-Sr-Ca-Cu, Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu, and TI-Ba-Ca-Cu oxide systems including: synthesis and heat treatment of high-Te superconductors, formation of monolithic and composite wires and tapes, superconductor/metal connectors, characterization of structures and superconducting and mechanical properties, and fabrication and properties of thin films.

Active Sites Environmental Monitoring Program: Mid-FY 1991 report (open access)

Active Sites Environmental Monitoring Program: Mid-FY 1991 report

This report summarizes the activities of the Active Sites Environmental Monitoring Program (ASEMP) from October 1990 through March 1991. The ASEMP was established in 1989 by Solid Waste Operations and the Environmental Sciences Division to provide early detection and performance monitoring at active low-level radioactive waste (LLW) disposal sites in Solid Waste Storage Area (SWSA) 6 and transuranic (TRU) waste storage sites in SWSA 5 as required by chapters II and III of US Department of Energy Order 5820.2A. Monitoring results continue to demonstrate the no LLW is being leached from the storage vaults on the tumulus pads. Loading of vaults on Tumulus II began during this reporting period and 115 vaults had been loaded by the end of March 1991.

Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery and Wettability Research Program. Annual report, FY 1991 (open access)

Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery and Wettability Research Program. Annual report, FY 1991

This report covers research results for fiscal year 1991 for the Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) and Wettability Research Program conducted by EG&G Idaho, Inc. at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory ONEL) for the US Department of Energy Idaho Field Office (DOE-ID). The program is funded by the Assistant Secretary of Fossil Energy, and managed by DOE-ID and the Bartlesville Project Office (BPO). The objectives of this multi-year program are to develop MEOR systems for application to reservoirs containing medium to heavy crude oils and to design and implement an industry cost-shared field demonstration project of the developed technology. An understanding of the controlling mechanisms will first be developed through the use of laboratory scale testing to determine the ability of microbially mediated processes to recover oil under reservoir conditions and to develop the design criteria for scale-up to the field. Concurrently with this work, the isolation and characterization of microbial species collected from various locations including target oil field environments is underway to develop more effective oil recovery systems for specific applications. Research focus includes the study of biogenic product and formation souring processes including mitigation and prevention. Souring research performed in FY 1991 also included the development of …

Analysis of Air Pollution and Greenhouse Gases. Initial Studies, FY 1991 (open access)

Analysis of Air Pollution and Greenhouse Gases. Initial Studies, FY 1991

The current objective of the project ``Analysis of Air Pollution and Greenhouse Gases`` is to develop a study of emissions and emission sources that could easily be linked to models of economic activity. Initial studies were conducted to evaluate data currently available linking activity rates and emissions estimates. The emissions inventory developed for the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) presents one of the most comprehensive data sets, and was chosen for our initial studies, which are described in this report. Over 99% of the SO{sub 2} emissions, 98% of the NO{sub x} emission and 57% of the VOC emissions from area sources are related to fuel combustion. The majority of emission from these sources are generated by the transportation sector. Activity rates for area sources are not archived with the NAPAP inventory; alternative derivations of these data will be part of the future activities of this project. The availability and completeness of the fuel heat content data in the NAPAP inventory were also studied. Approximately 10% of the SO{sub 2} emissions, 13% of the NO{sub x} emissions and 46% of the VOC emissions are generated by sources with unavailable data for fuel heat content. Initial estimates of pollutant emission …

Effects of Coded-Wire Tagging on the Survival of Spring Chinook Salmon: Annual Report FY 1990-1991. (open access)

Effects of Coded-Wire Tagging on the Survival of Spring Chinook Salmon: Annual Report FY 1990-1991.

The second study year encompassed similar activities to the first, with some modification. In terms of otolith marking, all spring chinook at each facility were marked by a series of scheduled incubation water depressions. Modifications to our work plan included a somewhat later initiation of otolith marking, a shortening of cold water exposure duration for Cowlitz fish at the alevin stage, and the use of on-station personnel for conducting actual water manipulations for otolith marking. Protocols for efficient computerized collection of otolith band data were established and exploratory data collections initiated. Most of this was aimed at documentation of variability in the induced otolith pattern as a result of measurement technique and inherent biological variation in growth rates of individual otoliths. When fish has reached their appropriate size, Coded-Wire Tags were applied in specific proportions to untagged fish at each hatchery, and all untagged fish were electronically counted. Separate tag codes were applied to groups representing various rearing or release strategies at each hatchery. 11 refs., 3 tabs.

Emergency Funding for Agriculture: A Brief History of Supplemental Appropriations, FY1989-FY2006

From FY1989 through FY2006, 33 appropriations, authorization, or farm disaster acts added approximately $55.4 billion in supplemental funding for U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) programs. The two most recent supplemental appropriations were provided in response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the Gulf of Mexico and in preparation for a possible U.S. outbreak of avian influenza. Some FY1989, the vast majority of the total supplemental funding has been paid directly to farmers, primarily through two mechanisms: "market loss payments" and crop disaster payments. This report includes the total annual funding additions in the 33 acts providing economic and farm disaster assistance through USDA programs since FY1989.

The Yakima/Klickitat Fisheries Project (YKFP) proposes to assess the merits of ''supplementation'' as a means to increase natural production and harvest opportunities for anadromous fish in the Yakima and Klickitat subbasins. Supplementation involves rearing and release of artificially produced fish, which upon return as adults, would be managed to form a major component of the naturally spawning population.
