A computer program, OASIS (Optimization and Simulation of Integrated Systems), has been developed by Argonne National Laboratory to provide detailed representations of the processes and operating conditions in central plants. It contains an extensive library of generic component subroutines that model representative equipment using part-load performance curves. New technologies may be modeled by adding FORTRAN written subroutines in the job input stream. The equipment performance and economic data already included are easy to modify, so that almost any plant configuration and set of operating conditions may be modeled. The use of OASIS is described for an evaluation of the proposed cogeneration plant at Argonne National Laboratory.

The coal-mining industry is subject to a myriad of tax laws, regulations, and rulings. Recent developments in the area of coal mining have resolved some past conflicts and further confused others. Nevertheless, a taxpayer involved in any aspect of coal mining should carefully analyze both tax and nontax implications related thereto. There can be benefits for the taxpayer who considers the structure of the transaction, the timing and method of acquisition, classification of exploration and development stage costs, and the interaction of depletion, Section 631(c), and the concept of economic interest. 71 references.

In November of 1966, the United States Department of Energy awarded a contract to the Columbus Laboratories of Battelle to design a survey of compensation paid to scientific and engineering personnel engaged in research and development in the United States. The contract provided that such a survey would utilize the maturity or age-wage approach, under which salary data would be related to years since receipt of degree or chronological age. The document reports the results of the fifteenth annual survey, conducted in 1982. This survey was funded by the Department of Energy. The conduct of the survey has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget under the Federal Reports

Act.

(USDOE Assistant Secretary for Conservation and Renewable Energy, Washington, DC). Dec 1981. 58p. NTIS, PC A04/MF A01. Order Number DE83002512.

The activities conducted solely in Fiscal Year (FY) 1981 in the areas of Federal energy education, extension service, and information dissemination are reported. The broad purpose of the FY 1981 activities addressed has been to inform governmental and private sectors about the methods and technologies to conserve energy and to utilize renewable energy sources. With the increase in awareness on the part of energy users and decisionmakers, as well as additional information sources available from the private sector, the emphasis of the various Federal energy information activities is being focused on reporting results of Federal programs. The course of activities related to conservation and renewable energy information has been one of consolidation, both in terms of programmatic substance and methods. The practical impetus has been the redirection of Federal progrms and related budgetary revi

sions for FY 1981 and FY 1982. Further, products conveying information on conservation and renewable energy technologies have been examined extensively, pursuant to the Administration's directive in April 1981 on elimination of wasteful spending on periodicals, audiovisuals and similar materials. Efforts in coordination of conservation and renewable energy information activities of the Department of Energy (DOE) as well as other Federal agencies have adjusted to timetables for review and redirection of programs initially planned for FY 1981. Mechanisms to coordinate existing Federal energy information activities employed in previous fiscal years were continued in FY 1981 to the extent applicable under current Administration policy and the above-noted circumstances of redirection. Coordinating actions requiring convening of groups were held in abeyance pending resolution of programmatic issues.

The Training and Technology (TAT) program is operated for the US Department of Energy by Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) and Union Carbide Corporation, Nuclear Division, in a Department of Energy facility. The program is part of the Department's continuing efforts to help supply trained personnel for the energy industry. TAT has trained unemployed economically disadvantaged Tennesseans for 16 years. During fiscal years 1978 to 1980, the period covered in this study, TAT enrolled 460 Tennesseans under CETA, Title 2B contracts with the Department of Employment Security. Three hundred sixty (78%) of these participants completed the program, of which 335 (93%) were placed in unsubsidized employment. Average hourly wage rates for the 335 graduates placed in unsubsidized employment were as follows: FY 1980 - $6.32; FY 1979 - $5.12; FY 1978 - $5.71. These data indicate short-term success but do not address the questions of postprogram employment stability and wage increases over time. In order to assess the long-term impact of TAT, ORAU has conducted a longitudinal study of participants' employment experiences after training.

Efforts of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to terminate the Common Support Agreement between FERC and the Department of Energy (DOE) were reviewed. This termination would transfer from DOE to FERC the responsibility for performing certain administrative functions in support of FERC. We found that FERCS estimates of the resources needed to perform the support functions were not based on a complete evaluation, and that FERC is not yet prepared for an orderly, economical transfer of the administrative support functions from DOE. We, therefore, believe that FERC needs to make complete evaluations of the resources it needs to assume responsibility for the functions and to prepare a transition plan for making the transfer. Correspondence between the two agencies establishing the need for terminating the agreement and various proposals to facilitate that efforts was examined. Documentation each agency had for its resources estimates and negotiating position was analyzed. This review was performed in accordance with generally accepted government audit standards.

From DOBIS/LIBIS library system conference; Paris, France (17 Feb 1983).

The Technical Library collection consists of the following types of materials: (1) 45,000 cataloged books, (2) 100,000 cataloged reports originating from Sandia and other private and governmental agencies which grows at the rate of approximately 6000 reports per year, (4) 1500 cataloged periodical subscriptions, (5) A 216,000-item central technical file composed of memos, correspondence, trip reports, minutes of meetings, test reports and similar documents originated by Sandia, which grows at the rate of about 3000 items per year, and (6) A 60,000-item document accountability file which serves to track the movement of classified documents from origination to destruction. Sandia's Technical Library has been automated since the 1960's using an in-house designed system. The automated system provided acquisitions, cataloging, circulation, Boolean searching and SDI services for the books collection using indexedsequential files and batch updating. Various automated functions were provided for the other types of materials using sequential files with batch updating. In early 1981 the library began the process of acquiring a stand-alone computer. Library software packages were evaluated and DOBIS was selected as the software which was best able to meet our needs. As of January 1983 DOBIS acquisition and circulation functions are being used for the books file, cataloging for new reports was started and manual key-in begun on the borrower (about 7000 records) and funds files. The reports and CTF files on the Univac were written to tape until modifications of the conversion program have been done. Conversion of the periodicals records has been postponed until the periodicals functions release is available. In the meantime, manual records are being kept.

From 5. annual international conference on computer capacity management; New Orleans, LA, USA (18 Apr 1983).

An organization's information problems usually do not result from a lack of data but rather from the fact that the information is frequently in an inaccessible form. This paper describes a system which solves that problem by automatically handling the migration of the information that we gather about computer-center operations. It takes advantage of the fact that the inforamtion at various intermediate stages is amenable to different views and hence appropriate for answering different information requirements.

Evaluation of the implementation of energy educa

Thesis (Ph. D.).

This study investigates the implementation of particular energy-education curriculum materials by Michigan teachers in grades K-8 who attended an energy-education inservice workshop. The study is designed to describe the inservice workshop project upon which the study is based, assess the relationship between selected workshop factors and teacher characteristics and the amount of time teachers reported teaching about energy following and inservice workshop, and determine factors which may encourage or limit the implementation of energy education in these teachers' classrooms. Data were collected through written questionnaires both before and after the inservice workshops, and through indepth interviews conducted with a sub sample of teachers. Major findings were: (1) about one-half of the teachers who responded had included energy education in their curriculum; (2) teachers tended to include energy education if they felt strongly enough that energy was an important topic about which their students needed to learn; (3) teachers found time to be the most-limiting factor in including energy education in the curriculum, (4)teachers felt limited support for including energy topics from building principals and districts, (5) teachers tended to view energy education as part of science even when provided with multidisciplinary guides, and (6) only the previous number of energy lessons taught and whether or not a teacher had attended a previous energy workshop showed any statistical relationship to the time spent teaching about energy following the workshop.

Mid-Term Energy Market Model (MEMM) is the successor to the Project Independence Evaluation System (PIES) Integrating Model which was documented earlier by the Logistics Management Institute. The report consists of a main section and seven technical memoranda. The main section enumerates areas in the earlier documentation that no longer reflect the versionof MEMM used in the preparation of the 1980 Annual Report to Congress. The technical memoranda document major enhancements to MEMM since August 1, 1979. The main section and technical memoranda are each self-contained, with their own tables of contents. This report refers to DOE Regions, which existed in 1980. Since this report was written, those regions have been designated as Standard Federal Regions.
